From The Classroom: A Practical Suggestion For City Hall

Last Friday, for our school’s celebration of Black History Month (postponed into March because of the snow. That’s what’s called white oppression. Zing!), we saw a screening of the movie Pip and Zastrow: An American Friendship about former Mayor Roger “Pip” Moyer and former city council candidate Zastrow Simms, two friends who bonded in a

From The Classroom: Not In My Back Mall

It’s sad how all our childhood dreams are going to die.

In our school, each grade has to compile something for our school’s auction. The parents organizing the freshman class auction decided that it would be great for us to make a slideshow of the 9th graders as what they would like to be in the

A Night On The Town: Westfield Annapolis Mall

Hi, Annapolis!

It’s good to see my last post stirring up so much controversy. I never knew how easy it would be to get into a debate about sidewalks. To give the angry commenters something new to rail on about, I’m going to reach into my Big Bag o’ Controversial Topics. Today, I will be criticizing

From the Classroom: Dear Dr. Maxwell

After the wonderful letter to Mayor Cohen about the need for more efficient snow removal went up, I thought it would be a good idea for me to write a letter to Dr. Maxwell, superintendent of Anne Arundel County Public Schools, to voice my concern of the public schools’ handling of the situation.

Dear Dr.

From The Classroom: Valentine's Day Edition

Editor’s Note: This was scheduled to run late last week. However, due to the “crapload of snow” we postponed it to cover the snow. However, it is just as timely; and as with all of Seth’s columns–another eye opener into the teenage mind!  Apologies to Seth for the delay. -JWF

Well, Annapolis, after the

A Night On The Town: How We Throw An Awesome Party

Hi there, Annapolis. Today, I’m gonna take you on a journey into the world of teen parties.

I’ve been to a few over the years, including a really awesome one last weekend, and I’ve decided that it’s my duty to report how we teens throw parties in Annapolis.

Now, I’m not talking about the crazy parties that

From The Classroom:

Let It Snow!!!!

Christmas has been over for too long, and Valentine’s Day can’t come soon enough, so I’ve come up with something new to celebrate.

Without it, we wouldn’t have Frosty, sleigh rides, or cotton balls taking up the bottom inch of every preschooler’s winter collage.

With it comes beautiful pictures, days off of school, and, if

From The Classroom: The Birds, The Bees, The Cop And The Track Teacher

After a weekend of relaxation, I was packing my backpack to return to the desolate land known as high school.

Protractor.
Pencils.
French dictionary.
Pepper spray.

Yes, pepper spray. In this day and age, given the recent rash of illicit relationships between teens and authority figures, if you take chances, a rogue track coach could take your virginity, which I

From the Classroom: The Midterm Diaries, Part 2

Hey there, Annapolis. I’m back with more coverage of the exams. If you’re wondering why the malls are empty and the sewers are full of hair that has been pulled out by stressed teenagers…we’re probably studying geometry.

So, exam coverage continues.

Weekend:

Studying, studying, and more studying, which is a code for doing practice problems in Geometry and

From the Classroom: The Midterm Diaries

There are not a lot of things that can strike unrelenting and complete fear into the heart of today’s teens.

For girls: “OMG, like, I was using your cell phone, and I just, like, broke it.”

For guys: “Justin Bieber’s coming to town and I want you to go see him with me!”

But there is one word,
