From The Classroom: A Couple Rants And Top 10 Lists
Hi there, Annapolis! It’s prom season, which is good for all the limo companies in Annapolis. At the prices they charge, I’m convinced Josh Cohen could fix our city’s deficit if he decides to start a limo company for the next few weeks. Of course, a column about my school’s prom (and my take on [...]
From The Classroom: Blabberin’ ‘Bout Books
Hi there, Annapolis! It’s spring, and that means that Key School’s Annapolis Book Festival is coming up this Saturday April 17th! As a student of Josh Cohen’s alma mater, I feel obliged to promote it a bit. It’s an amazing event–food, fun, and lots and lots of books! There will be thousands of used books [...]
From the Classroom: Postcards From The Food Court
Hi, Annapolis, I’m back, and I brought multimedia entertainment! Photos, if you want to be unsophisticated about it. These photos were taken on a recent trip to the mall with my homeboy amigo BFF BFFL conspirator friend Matt (my apologies to the rappers, Spaniards, cliche girls, even cliche-er girls, and mobsters that I’ve offended by attempting [...]
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: 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 [...]
From The Classroom: Snow Kidding
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 [...]
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 [...]
From the Classroom: The Midterm Diaries, Part 1
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 [...]
From the Classroom: Fun With Gender Roles
Fun with gender roles Oh, excuse me—did I just use the words ‘fun’ and ‘gender roles’ in the same sentence? Those are two that definitely do not go together….like ‘monogamy’ and ‘Tiger Woods’. Perhaps a more accurate pair of correlated phrases would be ‘offended female beats guy senseless’ and ‘Gender roles’. Yes, gender roles are [...]
From The Classroom: A Night On The Town At The Navy B-Ball Game
Welcome to my first Night on the Town column, where I attend various events in Annapolis and review them specifically for teens, so they know whether or not they should go (and for parents, so they know whether or not they’re dragging their teen along to something that is the equivalent of having their eyes [...]
From The Classroom: Swine Flu
I went into school today and coughed. Into my elbow, of course. Don’t want to spread the nasty disease. I waited for someone to point at me, look at me like I was a leper, and, voice rising with fear, shout “SWINE FLUUUUUU!” But then I realized that there was no one there. It was [...]
