In contrast, the elementary school that is actually in Show Low is merely a performing school, which basically means they are barely meeting the academic standards...and guess what? I am writing a story about that too!<br />The school district people are going to LOVE me!<br />At the last board meeting I went to, the junior high principal alluded to the fact that I was "their" reporter and said it in such a way that indicated that she thought I would be writing rah-rah stories exclusively and implicitly trusting in their information despite my gut instincts...hmmm, oops.<br /><br />On that note, I must add that when I spoke to the high school principal about this sit-in, I definitely got the feeling that he was not telling the whole truth, in fact, his responses seemed wholly rehearsed, and not in a good way. He was acting, and badly. A Razzie for him!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13710413791490462220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7262794.post-1096409346680020052004-09-28T15:09:00.000-07:002004-09-28T15:09:00.000-07:00Tasting my own medicine: I admit to a spelling err...Tasting my own medicine: I admit to a spelling error.

(Two words: Home school.) It is a sad, sad day when I find something too pitiful to laugh at. But that was the case -- I honestly felt embarrased for these people. Students and teachers (!) with second-grade spelling abilities commenting on respectable journalism! Where to begin with that? As for me, I'll take a Dan Rather Truth In Journalism Award over a Dan Quail Spelling Bee Award any day. <br />-AliAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7262794.post-1096408682976750742004-09-28T14:58:00.000-07:002004-09-28T14:58:00.000-07:00Actual comment on website from SLHS Student:
