School newspapers

[xtreme112]

Our middle school made a newspaper once, and it sucked :P

We get like the yearly ones and theyre not too bad, but they've got everything in there

and then there are the newsletters that go to parents for stuff that may rarely be important, nowadays they don't even send them, as my school is stingy with paper they email everything. We don't even get reports on paper anymore, if we want it we have to print it ourselfs *is outraged*

My school newspaper (The Quest) is actually pretty decent. Our journalism class doesn't suck, and there are actually a few things worth your time.

Um, there's this other paper that comes out once a month or so called "Psyched Out" done by the Mental Health Club (?). Almost the entire thing is worth reading and so most people do. Good stuff.

Thank god I was homeschooled throughout high school. I imagine that if I hadn't been, the school I would have attended would have printed much of the same thing yours did, Jess. Only worse.

Lucky, Morgy! Tell me what it's like to not have to be forced constantly into the company of people who wear tiny skirts, tanktops and giant fur boots in 10 degree F weather? xD

We didn't have a school newspaper, at least none I was ever aware of.

We did get newsletters about once every three months.

They got thrown in the trash immediately. One could say, were one of a Ryeish disposition, "TRASH'D!"

I wish there had been one, there's a remote chance I'd have bothered writing for it.

It's glorious. Not only did I miss out on all that, I got to sit on my butt. 24/7. ;D
Then again, I did goto public school up until 8th grade..so I experienced a lot of it anyway. And in Michigan, it's more like -10 degrees. I used to point and laugh at them because our school schedule was messed up, the lunch periods were too short so we had about 30 minutes between lunch and the next class, so they sent us outside for 'recess'. They pretty much assumed the fetal position all throughout the winter.

It was alright two years ago, but since then, all the people who could actually write quit journalism, and my friends, while I love them dearly, cannot write.

Wear longer skirts

I disagree.
I hated the newspaper but my girlfriend was on the staff so I never said anything.

How do you like your high school (or Middle School, I suppose) newspaper? Is it good, decent or trash like the middle school paper was when I went to Junior High.

We just got our second edition school newspaper. I suppose it's decent, but some articles are AWFUL. Especially this one article made by this dumb girl named Danielle who is obsessed with herself and fashion. *copies and pastes from LJ because I'm lazy~*

"Just make sure you follow these rules and you will look great this season!

Do-

Wear bohemian styled clothing (those really WEIRD pants that are huge and UGLY)
Put flowers in your hair
Wear sundresses
Wear flats
Wear vintage tees
Wear floral patterns
Cuff your jeans
Wear longer skirts (The one thing I agree with)
Wear gauchos with everything from fitted knit tops to boots and sweaters (Uh what?)

Don't -

Wear heels bigger than 3 inches (Short people want to be taller)
Hide yourself in baggy clothing (It's better to wear baggy clothing than to wear pants and shirts 4 sizes too small just so you can say you'ra a size 6 or lower, so your fat is hanging out, like HER (the writer of the article) friends do.)
Wear sneakers with skirts
Wear ponchos"

I threw in a few comments, as you can see. But yeah, it was dumb. There were some good articles though, about Advanced Placement Art, Senior-itis and how MTV warps expectations of Sweet Sixteens and how people in my town who were born here/lived their most of their life think this is the center of the world and are seriously flawed in that way. I liked that last one.

I'm one of the editors for my school's newspaper. And someone here's going an article on Senior-itis too, along with Myspace obsession and other interesting topics, then you have the news section of which I was assigned. Bo----ring.

there was one newsletter for each month of the year. despite its black/white, 4-8 paged mini magazine look, it's ok...

[SammieBabe]

To be completely honest... It's been almost 6 years since I graduated and I don't even remember my schools paper...
I do know that we had one....

We have a fortnightly newsletter, but no paper. the letter sucks itself though. It basically goes into my bag, and comes out a month and a half later when my mum asks for it.

[Itsunari 2000]

A weekly newsletter, at the most. Most of the kids in my school are just illiterate or plain ignorant to read that, so what makes you think a newspaper/ magazine would be a worthwhile venture ?
