The King of Pop

On August 29th, 1958 Michael Jackson a.k.a. the king of pop was born. Not on March 1st 1994. Justin Bieber's birthday.

Michael Jackson was the 7th of nine children to be born. He started his musical career at the age of 5. When he was very young, he joined and led a family group called the Jackson 5. In 1968 the Jackson 5 were discovered. It may seem like he just joined a family band and they got discovered and everything was all perfect, but it wasn't. As a kid, Michael's dad beat him. Also, he didn't have much of a life as a kid because Michael was busy practicing in his studio 24/7. After a few more years of number 1 hits, Michael's career grew. He became a solo artist and had recorded many, many more albums.

When Justin Bieber was younger, he lived an average life. One day he had a singing competition and come of his relatives couldn't make it. Since he still wanted them to see him sing, he posted a few videos of him singing on Youtube. Later, usher saw his videos and thought that Justin had a lot of potential. He eventually made Justin famous and he has recorded 2 albums.

After reading those 2 paragraphs, who do you think is the king of pop. Michael Jackson, the best pop singer ever to live who has recorded a total of 16 albums before the age that Justin Bieber is now and a grand total of 26 albums. He also one a record of 8 grammy's in one night! Or do you think it is a 16 year old boy who has 3 number one hits and 2 albums?

Uniforms

Everyday before school we wake up and put on our uniform. It's the same thing everyday. Having to wear the same thing everyday can get pretty bad. Eventually you start to think, "Why do I have to wear a uniform?" Here is my opinion on uniforms.

Firstly, the uniforms are very uncomfortable. I would be fine if I only had to wear it for a few hours, but having to wear it 5 days a week is just too much. I think more people would be fine with uniforms if they were a bit more comfortable. Also, having to wear your shirt tucked in, your tie as high as it can go, and all of our top buttons done up makes it even more uncomfortable. If your shirt comes untucked at anytime throughout the day, you get in trouble for it. I think that is unfair because it is bound to happen eventually and you shouldn't get in trouble for something like that. If you have to wear a uniform, you should get to wear it how you want to.

Lastly, I was always taught to dress how you want, and not follow what others do. Also, to be your own person and express it however you want. Well, a lot of people express their feelings through clothes. Having to wear a uniform exactly how they want you to wear it is unfair. They completely contradict themselves, because they say to dress how you want and not listen to what others have to say. then they go and make us wear what they want, how they want.

I personally don't think schools should make kids wear uniforms. This makes everyone the same and no one can express their feelings.

Evensong

Every Friday after 4th period everyone grabs there sweaters and blazers and heads off to the chapel. For some people it's one of the best parts of the day, but for most people it is a waste of time.

Instead of evensong being a break off of school, you have to go sit in an overheated chapel and listen to things that you don't find interesting at all. I would much rather have classes. I find in evensong, that when I do try to pay attention we seem to go over the same topic over and over again. Plus, we already spend 1 hour a week learning everything we need to know.

Another reason evensong is boring is because we can't ask questions. In every class we get to raise our hand and ask a question about something we don't understand. In evensong, if your confused then your out of luck. This makes learning in evensong a lot more difficult.

To conclude, I think evensong is a waste of time and that the time should be used for our regular class time schedule.
