For our final review, chicken nuggets were on our minds. We couldn’t think of a better way to go out in style than by going to Chick-fil-A, Wendy’s and McDonald’s for a head to head challenge. To start, we went to McDonald’s and ordered a ten piece nugget meal. Our meal came with fries and a dr...

The Netflix series that shocked the nation a couple weeks ago has a very wide variety of feedback. I however am in between I loved it but also hated it. 13 Reasons Why brought a lot of attention to how people feel about suicide.

Binge watching Netflix is a hobby that most teenaagers have come to appreciate, but finding that next new great show can be difficult and stressful. There are a variety of shows to choose from such as Parks and Recreation, How I Met Your Mother and Shameless. These did not quite make the list, but are ...
Teachers Take Advantage of Conference Blocks
March 8, 2017
Administration is always a stickler for the rules. However when they break the rules we look the other way. It seems like no one questions adults when they do things wrong because “they’re older” and “I’m sure they know what they’re doing”. Just because a person is older or in a place of...

PROS Standardized testing is a necessary evil. It is the most efficient way to guarantee a fair evaluation of all people’s intelligence. Tests like the ACT and SAT are designed to measure intelligence. They are not supposed to measure your creativity or other abstract concepts. ...
Does High School Prepare You for College?
Madeline Guccione and Mario Hackney
March 1, 2017
Most high school students complain about schools not preparing us for the “real world” but is that the teachers fault or your own? Over the past couple of years I’ve noticed that most students don’t know how to write a check, or do basic household chores. Most high school students don’t...
Where’s the College Prep in High School?

Throughout my high school career teachers always told me how high school is in preparation for college. Last time I checked we didn’t need to know how to pass a high school test for college. Teachers stress how we need to know this to pass a class. How is passing that one test going to help me ...
The Poo Reviews: Soup Edition

February 28, 2017
Tomato Soup: For our soup review, I decided to taste and review Campbell’s infamous tomato soup. I’m used to my grandmother’s homemade tomato soup in all of it’s parmesean-y glory, so straight from the can was a bit of a nerve-racking experience. As I expected, I wasn’t all that impresse...

Students should be allowed to be outside for at least an hour during the school day. If students were allowed outside for just 15 minutes each period that would be an hour altogether. There are several reasons why being outside is beneficial. The first reason is because the sun provides the best...
Teachers are Human

February 27, 2017
As the foundation of a student’s success, it is no surprise that teachers are the first to be dehumanized by adolescents. But surprise, surprise teachers are humans. As students, it is routine to wake up at 6am to be to school by the time the bell rings. We attend classes, complain about the busy...

About three weeks ago on a warm Saturday, I went to my local bookstore to get some new books to read while enjoying the weather. The first book I picked up was “It’s Kind of a Funny Story” by Ned Vizzini. I was immediately intrigued by this book because the back cover held...

When you think of the word “job” it doesn’t usually bring positive thoughts to mind. Jobs are usually described as hard, stressful, and frustrating. There are a lot of excuses to not get a job at our age, especially since most students don’t need a job. Some people are scared that their social ...

There are a number of things in our bathrooms that I could complain about. Several sinks don’t work, the floor is literally ALWAYS wet, and I often find myself with wet hands and no paper towels in the dispensers. Recently, Kickapoo High School’s bathrooms face a new controversy: the new soap...
