"Lather and Nothing Else" Tells us to Take Opportunities


"Lather and Nothing Else" by Hernando Téllez is a story about revenge. The story starts off with a person going to an enemy barber shop. The barber has the chance to kill him, but he does not. 


I think the barber should have killed him because the man killed his friends so he should have done it. I felt justice was justified when I took my friend's sandwich after they took my food. 


Some of the hard decisions I make are to either focus in class or to talk to my friends. If I talk to my friends more I have more fun, but do not get as much work done though. If I lock in I get work done, but I do not have much fun.


One decision that was hard to make was when I did a martial art. I had to quit it and it was hard for me. I did the martial art for a while and I did not want to stop it for good. I had to quit it because I had to commit to the swim team. My team was high-commitment and I could not do both of them.


In conclusion, there is a theme to follow. It is to take chances as you can do them because it may be your only opportunity ever. This is from the story when the barber could have killed the person he was shaving.

One point she made was that people who are in relationships with AI are not outcasts. According to her, it is being normalized now. The last thing she said in her opening statement was that it's all about a mindset. It may not be real love, but the people in relationships with AI will think it is, which is called being interdependent, according to Ha. And she thinks being interdependent is okay.  During the debate, some statistics were also shown to the public. 1 in 4 adults in their 20s think that dating AI will be normalized. Another important note is that 67 million people are already using AI companions across the world. On the other side is Justin R. Garcia, Executive Director ...

TikTok in Classrooms

Image
Every year, TikTok gets bigger and bigger for students. TikTok is a very popular app for students and is known for its short-form videos that you scroll. Teachers noticed and wondered if they should use short-form video platforms. Some teachers are siding with it and some teachers are going against it.  Last month, a debate was organized by Opentodebate.org between an educational influencer and chemistry teacher named Phil Cook and Adrian Dingle, a secondary school teacher and educational consultant. One reason why Phil Cook is for it is because he believes micro learning is a good thing. Microlearning is watching shorter videos instead of longer videos. He believes it is a good way that we should start using to learn more often. Micro learning is helpful because it's what kids are more used to now. An example of this is watching other people doing experiments that are dangerous for younger kids in the classroom. Some of these include fire and explosiveness experiments that are not...
