In George F. Wills "Lost in Electronica" students, mainly boys are becoming less and less interested in things. Boys are proven to have a short attention spand. They get bored faster, and velectronics are causing this short attention spand. Boys are using electronics way to much, and this is causing them to not be beneficient and the boys get bored faster because when they are not on electronics, they are already bored. This relates to me because I am a boy, and I would have to agree on this article. I myself get bored when I am not playing with electronics, and I think this is a phase that must be overcome. This matters to education because all male students get side trcked, and video games are to much of a benefactor for them. If students are always on electronics they will not learn nearly as much. This matters to the world because if boys continue to ignore education they will not exceed later in life and they will have a terrible occupation. Technology is advancing way to fast, my question for you all is will you let technology take control of your life?

In Kieren Nicholson's post "All 12 Injured on Calhan school bus recovering at home today" a school bus slid off the road and rolled down into a ditch. The bus contained twenty four students, and half of these students were injured. This matters to me because I am a student, and I ride the bus home from school. This would be very frightening if I was on the bus that rolled down a ditch, and I think students should be garenteed to have a safe ride to school. This matters to education because students all over the state ride buses, and need to get to school safe. This matters to the world because people ride buses all over the place, and a lt of people use it for just a way to get from place to place. The buses should be safe for everyone. Do you think buses are safe for transporting students?

In Karl Fisch's article "What If" the children are not aloud to use any electronics during school hours. The electronics are to much of an advantage on students, and students have progressed well without them. The video shows that students have relied on electronics way to much and they are disstracting. This matters to me because I aam a student, and I feel that technology is more helpful then harmful. I think students need to take more advantage on technology and use it to better themselves. This matters to education because so many students use technology to learn, and if that priviledge is taken away many students' grades will drop. This matters to the world because technology is increasing and improving quickly and more and more people are using it. Technology is happening, wheter we choose to ignore it or accept it. My question for you all is you accept the new ways of technology or will you choose to ignore them?

In the article "Morning Crash Kills Lakewood Motorist" by Howard Hankratz it tells of a man on a motorcycle who was going way to fast and decked head on into a van. The van tried to stop, but the truck behind the van slammed into the van. This matters to me because I am a new driver and drivers who speed kind of freak me out. I want the roads to be safe for not just me but for all new drivers. This matters to education, because not all drivers ed schools are putting the speed factor into kids minds. This matters to the world because people drive everywhere, and everyone should have the priviledge to drive in a safe road friendly enviroment. My question for you all is are driver ed companies are teaching kids appropriatly?

In Alfie Kohn's article "School's Would Be Great if it Wern't for the Kids" Alfie goes into explaining all the problems students cause and students are not even trying to learn. Parents are blaming teachers for not giving students desent grades. Students are not paying attention in class, and are ignoring the knowledge given to them. This relates to me because I am a student and I feel dismal after reading this article, and I don't find this article true. I feel that students try in school, but some do not have that good of an attention span. This relates to education because students all over the world are learning in new unique ways. This relates to the world because every student in the world needs to learn from somebody and they can't learn everything on their own. Students need teachers and teachers need students. My question for you all is are students the problem or are teachers?
