For Crying Out Loud! with Ien Tingpalpong

Gun Control and School Shootings:

There have been 17 school shootings in 2018 alone, and 290 since 2013 in the United States. U.S. school shootings. It is an absolutely horrifying thing to witness and some can only imagine what it is like to experience, but what are the schools doing to prevent this. At the Stoneman Douglas School Shooting a campus safety expert, Michael Dorn, spoke up about drills in a USA Today interview. The article states, “Dorn agrees that lockdowns have proven to be the most reliable method so far… But too much focus on one type of response, even lockdowns, in place of teaching staff and students to think on their feet can be a mistake, Dorn said.” The way schools are dealing with emergency drills have changed. At Fenton, we have recently learned about the new policy of A.L.I.C.E. Giving the students the power of choice.

    Great podcast, it was visible that you really cared about the topic. The picture choice for your post is perfect but maybe write a little something about yourself.

    Ien, I only listened to a bit but I feel that this topic suits you. I know you have a strong stature for speaking and for emphasizing your message and I know that you have a very serious tone in your voice than my own that would really, really, your listeners think and have mental thoughts about this. I personally cannot say that about my podcast even though I tried but I'm glad you were able to do this more so than myself. So far on what I've heard, great job Ien!

Isaac's Podcast- School Causes Stress on Teens (Ep.1)

Image
School causes stress on teens Podcast Pitch And welcome back to Isaac's podcast, so stress and school. Man those two things match so perfectly. Stress brings such worry, such anxiety. Many kids struggle and try to cope with it but they always seem to fail because they always aim for perfection yet don't succeed at that. They struggle their whole life because they were so focussed on getting that A in high school. They were so focussed on getting the work done, instead on focusing on what life really matters. The school system it just, things are due, there are due dates in school and kids try to meet those standards but they have sports, they have families, they want to have fun, they don't want to spend their young years worrying, but they end up worrying, and stressing, and thats the sad truth. ⇩Link Below⇩ https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Q9CfDFBpJ8pcEEAu9FKOS_kCLiuYhyB5  Sources cited:  http://web.b.ebscohos...

WHAT THE TRUMP?! The Teenage Thoughts on the Donald Trump Presidency

Image
Teenagers and Trump The most controversial man in America happens to be our president.  Donald J. Trump, the United States' 45th president, split America into  two halves. While many people (about half the United States) agreed  with him and his proposed political agenda, he still managed to draw lots of  controversies.   Is Donald Trump doing anything wrong? Are the American people being over-dramatic towards his presidency? Maybe it isn’t that Trump is doing a bad job, but that the American people are still caught up in that he managed to beat Hillary?
