Except for Glenn Beck, apparently. read more » Students have a ‘beef’ with new lunch line September 14, 2010 — by Vivian LeTran Buying lunch has always been a hassle: waiting in line, hurrying to beat the crowd and arriving after all the good food is gone. As a result, many students pack their own lunch, or, for upperclassmen, choose to go off campus. But for reasons such as not being allowed to go off campus or simply having no time to prepare a lunch, buying food is a part of many students’ daily routine. read more » Teachers should review tests with students September 14, 2010 — by Jordan Waite and Michelle Shu "All men make mistakes, but only wise men learn from their mistakes," declared Winston Churchill. In other words, analyzing one's mistakes is essential to progress. And in the same way a student's ability to look at previous tests is extremely important to academic progress. Unfortunately, with the test-returning policies of some teachers, students are not having the chance to learn from their mistakes. read more » Changing summers, more changes to come? September 14, 2010 — by Dylan Jew Did you notice the summer stretched a little longer this year? This trend was common across high schools in California, and Saratoga was no exception.

At a time when most banks were struggling to remain solvent, his firm Goldman Sachs had reported the largest profits in its 140 year history.
