From students standing up to burp during class to stealing from others’ cards at the vending machine to making derogatory comments about people’s bodies, mental abilities and expected college application results to obnoxiously howling while […] read more » 100-word rant: Teachers, please stop with the introduction games September 11, 2023 — by Skyler Mao Introduction games are utterly useless. Every teacher seems to have the irresistible urge for icebreaker activities on the first day of school: whether that be sharing a “fun fact,” or even worse, having students play a game like two truths and a lie.

Instead, my mother usually leaves my sack lunch at school by placing it with the many other lunches on an unassuming beige table near the school entrance. On one occasion, as I approached the table during lunch, I […] read more » As colleges acceptance rates continue to decline, more students should turn to options other than 4-year universities May 31, 2023 — by Neal Malhotra and Kavya Patel As college acceptance rates for 4-year universities get lower and lower, it has become increasingly challenging for students to be accepted into popular in-state institutions like the UCs and even previously “safe” state schools like San Diego State University.
