As a Bostonian, I enjoyed watching Tom Brady and the New England Patriots picking apart New York Jets on NBC Thanksgiving night. Tom Brady tossed 3 touchdown passes, scored one touchdown from one yard out rushing into the end zone himself, and led his team to a 49:19 lopsided victory. The game was never in doubt after the Pats scored 35 points in the 2nd quarter, with offense, defense and the special teams all scoring TDs. |

I am currently an education major at Syracuse University and an alumnus of Lexington High School (LHS). For starters, let me explain the AP situation at Lexington High School. This explanation is based off of what I recall when I attended school there. From what I remember, starting sophomore year LHS would start offering two AP classes. This number then steadily increases each year that the student progress. However, how one gets into an AP class is important. In order to get into an AP class, a student must be recommend by a teacher and this recommendation is usually dependent on the grade the student is receiving in a per-requisite course. For example, if you are going to get a B in Lv1 Earth Science then there is not a great chance you are going to get into AP Biology. This system is implemented so that students who may not be ready for AP classes won’t fill them up.

| How did you go through Sandy in the past two days? Being so lucky that no power outage happened to me on Monday, I just curled up in my coach and watched 3 movies. Obviously I was not prepared at all-no water was stored and I had only 3 cans of bean at home. Although I was lucky enough to be unaffected by the hurricane this time, the absence of coworkers the next day and the sad stories on the news made me think-what should we prepare before the crisis to carry us and our family through? |

During my several visits to Taiwan in recent years, what impressed me most was the people of Taiwan. Because of the advancements in economy, health and education in past decades, the people in Taiwan in general appear outwardly healthy, well-groomed and tastefully dressed, as well as possess such good qualities as politeness, law-abidance and a love of helping others.

My fellow 5th Grade-icans,
I am not running for class president because I have a bigger baseball card collection than the other candidates — which I do — but because I am a patriot and I love my class in a totally non-cootie related way. We were once the greatest class in the entire school, and we still are because the principal looks down on us and smiles. He loves our class, I love our class and we are crazy awesome, so keep that in mind while I now explain why we suck so hard.
