To Cheat? Or Not To Cheat? That is the Question!
“’Cheating is on the rise,’ reports expert Donald McCabe, a professor at Rutgers
University. His surveys show that school dishonesty is a growing problem in
every part of the country.” His and other studies report that 73 % to 80% of
high school students cheat. “What is the big deal about cheating? It’s only
wrong if you get caught.” Do you agree or disagree with this statement. What
should we do about cheating in the schools?

Laughter
It is said that laughter is the best medicine - and I absolutely agree. I think my favorite term when it comes to laughter is "chortle" - meaning to chuckle and snort - and those of you that know me, know that I tend to chortle a great deal. :)
But how about those deep belly laughs? Those girlish giggles? I was sitting at Rockne's last night eating dinner with my mother and both of us couldn't stop laughing because of the baby giggling in the booth next to us. Does other people's laughter make you laugh? Silly jokes and comedians aside, what truly makes you laugh - one of those deep belly laughs?
Here is a four second video clip of my niece Jenna - who is two. And yes she is imitating Arnold Schwarzenegger, with the infamous "I'll be back..."
This little girl makes me laugh - over and over and over again, at the same silly imitation. Other things that make me laugh? Mr. Clark - we all know he is hilarious. You guys (my students) pretty much make me laugh at something every single day. So is laughter the best medicine? Does it make your school day better and more enjoyable? Now it's your turn to tell me - what makes you laugh and why - and how laughter affects you every day. Have fun!
