Journalism Is All About the Money
Justin Higgins — Thu, 2007-08-30 12:16
Should students be graded upon how many ads they sell? Maybe in an economics class. In a journalism class, I suggest that High Schools teach the students how to be good journalists. It's looking like it's all about the money. Hat-tip Glenn on this story:
COLLIER COUNTY: The NBC2 investigators have uncovered more controversy in the Collier County School District. Honors journalism students are not only getting graded on how they write, but half their grade is determined based on how many ads they sell for the yearbook.
Collier County School Board Member Linda Abbot says she was shocked to find out students at Naples High School are graded based in part on sales.
Glenn thinks the system is a good idea because it could actually help the students succeed in real life. I think this type of learning would be much more appropriate in an economics-type class, but not journalism. A journalism class should focus on news reporting, publishing, and other related processes.

I wanna hear more about the lies of St. Cindy.
Considering that you have

You're just a tool.
Now go back to your own waste of space blog and just...go.
Had it ever occurred to you, meathead, that we are sick and tired of your lies and your continued obstructionism, your sniping and mean spirited sneers at others...your continued harassment of Justin?
What he does with his life is his concern., This is his webspace and his site...and quite frankly, if it hadn't occurred to you yes that you are not wanted here, here it is.
PISS OFF. Go fellate Code Pink or kiss St Cindy of the Ditch on eithe rone of her bloated, lying, two faced cheeks..we don't care.
Just get out.
meathead: as usual you have

But what else is new. The day you actually support a point with specific facts and not link to some incomprehensible tome that neither you nor most others can make sense of, is the day the sun decides to rise in the west and your loving Muslim fanatics decide to give up suicide bombing for quilting.
O RLY?
m.e.atbrain — Thu, 2007-08-30 22:22Yet he fell for a wholly transparent lie.
Kinda takes the edge off the whole "sharpest, smartest, most gifted" label, doesn't it?

You, meathead, are proof of the old adage that people clip the wings of others because they themselves cannot fly.
No one invited you here, you are not welcome and quite frankly, you have gone from irritating to annoying to downright offensive.
I suggested banning your ass a whole back..I still do.Either contribute to the discussion or FUCK OFF.
Why Can't Meaty?
GM Roper (not verified) — Thu, 2007-08-30 21:17Kender, Kender, Kender. You consistently refuse to recognize that meaty is unable to blog on his own without attacking anyone that he thinks is conservative or rightwing. He consistently (and persistently I might add) uses the term "lie" when he means "opinion" and badgers others because he lacks the intellect to push his own agenda via posts. If you will note, the vast, vast, vast majority of his posts are about a very select few, and when he tires of those, he moves on to the next one on his little list. That is the mark of obsession and I would think that you would have recognized this by now. Meaty started with me some time ago, and lost interest, or more likely, just couldn't get the better of me. I've taken him off my banned list, just hoping that he comes back. And, if he does, by the rules of commenting on my blog, I'll just delete his posts. See, it's easy. Meaty is like a mosquito, he only gets recognized when you slap him. :-)
why cant you
kender — Thu, 2007-08-30 21:00stick to the point of the post meathead? Why are you apparently genetically predispositioned to go off on tangents?
Stick to the point of the post.
