You didn’t add a description, either, Morgan.
In my opinion, I think parents have better things to worry about than their kid watching porn. I mean, there’s really no way you can stop it besides blocking the site. But then they can just find a different site and the process would just repeat itself. Honestly, a ten year old boy looking at porn is the equivalent to a bear sticking their hand in a beehive full of honey. They’re just curious. Parents can’t stop puberty nor curiousness. So I think it’d be best to just let the kids go through the phase of watching porn.

I commented on the topic what teacher I appreciate. It describes how the teacher I appreciate earned that title of appreciation
Awww! That made me so happy I got tears in my eyes.

My article was about how a nine year old boy built an arcade out of a cardboard box which was amazing and the forts that children create.
Good one, Shontae.

Brittany, I don’t see your post in the comments there. Did you use only your first name (their requirement)? Also, you haven’t given a description of the comment you replied to.

Which comment is yours, Jack? You haven’t posted the link to it.
How Much does your life in school intersect with life out of school.
Where is your link to your specific comment, Jack? (The rules of this one say you can only get credit for commenting on one article.)
What teachers do that i appreciate? teaches help me to learn more important information that i may have not known or had trouble understanding. Teachers are partly responsible for our success because if it wasn’t for teachers we wouldn’t get taught all the extras and new information that was not taught long ago. teachers should be widely appreciate for all that they do. You may not always agree with you teacher s on everthing but try to see eye to eye on some situations
Where is the link to your comment there, Ciara? You’re supposed to paste it here.

http://learning.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/05/10/when-should-you-feel-guilty-for-killing-zombies/?apage=3#comment-577426
my article was about the killing of zombies and other things in virtual video and how some of them could be offensive.
Good, Dadrian! Don’t forget your space after commas and periods. 😉
http://learning.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/05/10/when-should-you-feel-guilty-for-killing-zombies/comment-page-2/?apage=3#comment-578381
The article i wrote about is called “when should you feel guilty for killing zombies.” It is a good topic that is in the news alot now, so this is my perspective on it.
You have made some solid arguments, Billy. Good work!

I commented on the article “When Have You Ever Failed at Something? What Happened as a Result?” this article was about failure and how it could be a positive thing in some cases but then again it can be a negative outcome
Nice supporting example, Shauna!

Only one per student, Morgan.
Yeah, I wanted to do this one rather than the other one.
Okay, but you’re missing your description of the article here.
http://learning.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/05/07/when-have-you-ever-failed-at-something-what-happened-as-a-result/?apage=8#comment-577664
I commened on the article about “When Have You Ever Failed at Something? What Happened as a Result?” Thi s article was mainly about how failure can sometimes have a good outcome to it. Some other times you might not get as lucky though.
This must have been the re-post you were telling me about, Shauna. Some people’s comments got stuck in my website’s spam catcher for some reason.
http://learning.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/05/04/removing-clutter-and-regaining-clarity/?apage=4#comment-578499 The article I responded to was “What’s Cluttering up Your Life?” It was about what type of cluttering people have in their life for example physically or mentally.
I don’t see your comment on the NY Times website, Mayra. Did you use only your first name? Maybe it just hasn’t been approved yet. I’ll check back!
It’s there now!
http://learning.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/05/08/what-teacher-do-you-appreciate/?apage=6#comment-578517 I responded to “What teacher do you appreciate?” it was about explaining what teacher you appreciate and why.
Only one comment per student, Mayra.
I have failed at many things actually, but I’ve decided on one. I was 10 years old, I had been playing soccer for a year almost. My team had made it to the finals and we were tied 2-2. Everyone counted on me on that team, they expected me to do everything. It was during the last five minutes that we got a penalty kick in favor to us. It was up to me to score and win the final for the team. I set the ball up, shot it, and missed the goal. I failed everyone, including myself. After the game, I was devastated, even though everyone was telling me it was okay. I was upset for a while and then I realized that I had only been playing for a year, that I had potential. I realized that there would be many more finals for me to play in and redeem myself. In fact, I am looking forward to one this month.
The teacher I appreciate is my ESL teacher. I appreciate her because of many things. She taught me English, how to read and write. What she did, I don’t think anybody would do it or would know how to do it. She’s a nice teacher, she hleped me with my my homework. I wish I know how to thank her, but I would like to say thank you for everything you did to me.
I think that prosthetic limbs for injured people are great. It gives people a chance to live life to the fullest. I think that people should not replace their limbs just beause of a minor injury. A prosthetic limb is just like a machine , it could all of a sudden mess up , or malfunction. If I had a injury like the ones described in the artical , I would consider getting a prosthetic limb. I really don’t have a boundary when it comes to technology because of so much work put into them to help people with everyday life.

It’s not the link to your specific comment, though.
No I do not feel guilty about killing a zombie. If they are tring to kill me then I think i should be able to kill them. In violent killing games the point of the game is to kill, and if you buy the game then that is what you should do. I never feel conflicted about killing anyone after I play a violent game, but if you do then you shouldn’t play or buy the game.
I did my New York Times but when i went to subment it nothing happened so i copied and paseted it on your wedsite insted.
OK, Michael!
On the NY times website, i was having technical difficulties so ill post it here. Ill respond to the one on if we should feel guilty killing zombies. I personaly think that we should never feel guilty killing zombies. First the reason being that they are no longer alive. Technically your not even killing it because its already dead. Secondly, killing them prevents the spread of the zombie disease, which is obviously useful for humanity. There is no reason we should feel guilty killing zombies.
OK, Tre!
Zombie killing is not really a bad thing. First of all, the people aren’t even real. Second of all, it’s not like I am killing someone forreal. It is just for fun. I could see if the characters weren’t put in the video game to die anyway.

I responded to “Does Mitt Romneys High School Bullying Matter?”. It is relating to the current issue of same-sex marriage in this country. http://learning.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/05/14/does-mitt-romneys-high-school-bullying-matter/#comments

The New York Times website didn’t let me leave comment there but my comment was ” I think that the technological advances in artificial limbs help those who need it and still help them feel normal.”
OK, Maryam!

I commented about how parents should react on internet porn.

I commented on when you should feel guilty killing zombies. Its about violent video games.
OK, Houston!
The article that I read was about pornography and how parents address it. I don’t think parents should address it, since kids know about it already and it’s all over the media.

I dont think people should prostetic limbs if they do not need them. If your limbs are fully funtioning then why would you need a prostetic limb? There are so many people that are not fortunate enough to have an arm or leg. If you need a prostetic limb, then I see nothing wrong with it.
Teachers that know how to have fun while teaching their students is something that i apreciate. I also apreciate teachers that are nice and respectful to their students. Those are the things I apreciate in teachers.
When i read this article i had mixed emtions about it . I do think teachers should be graded , and evaluated , but I think it should be done by the students . the reason i said that is because not all student are gonna to take it serious , and might not judge fairly. Still teachers should be graded
