School Madness: An Editorial

Let's see, what's going on in school? Well for one the biggest issue for me is still the rules. I understand the purpose of the Id's. Yet I really don't get why we can't wear colored under-shirts. How racist of them! Just kidding, it really does suck though. We should be able to wear something that lets us express how we feel.

That's not the only issue. We can't even wear backpacks that aren't clear or mesh. It sucks because sometimes, people need to carry personal stuff. I really don't think that they want the whole school to seeing what they bring. So we could at least have regular backpacks. It's really unfair.

Another thing is, we don't have freedom of speech. I really don't like that at all. I should be able to curse at any teacher at anytime. Yet I can't. We should just be able to say anything. That way we would get in less trouble. Of course if it's a threat then a punishment should be required.

It really sucks. The only place we're not allowed to have freedom is school! Now that doesn't make any sense. If we are supposed to have freedom, why is school any different. If I could do anything I would change this problem. This just all does not all make sense. What happened to the freedom?

So hopefully you reason with my opinions. That's what's been going on in Borman. Well at least that's what I'm most concerned about. I bet most students would agree with me. You never know maybe even some teacher might too. Thanks for reading my article.

New Sports at Borman

New sports are starting there seasons. These sports went through a lot of tryouts and people already made the team. The coaches made smart ways for the people to make there teams. These sports are going to have there first game and meet soon. These sports are baseball, softball, and track. To win every game it's going to take hard practice ,and the desire to love the sport.

The methods coaches used to make there teams were very smart. All the people that made the teams should be very proud. In track everybody made the team. They are looking at what the person is good at, if they want to they can compete in it. The softball coach used a similar method. The only difference is that if you want the spot, you have to fight for it. (Not the violent way.) Baseball used a different method, but usual method. Everybody tried out, they children went to try outs for a week, and at the end the put the list of the people who made the team.
For these teams to win they don't just have to play by the rules. They have to play with desire. They will also have to try there hardest. What's awesome about this is that they won't quit, because we are to good to quit. This is a competition, we have to beat all the other schools. All these teams will try there hardest, respect the other teams, and win.

If you are waiting for the first meet or game, don't wait so long. Track is going to have there first meet on the 4 of March. Varsity and Jr. Varsity will have there games on the same day, it just depends in the team. Softball will have there first game on the 5 of March against Pueblo. Baseball is also going to have there first game on the 5 of March also. That is not that far from now, go watch the games and enjoy it!!!

The new season is going to start very soon. These sports are baseball, softball, and track. The coaches went through a lot to make the teams. These teams will have there first meat or game very soon. Go out there and cheer for our teams.

Movie Reviews

If you are interested in the latest and greatest movies around this is the source where you can find information on them. In this section you will find different types of movies for different preferences such as comedy, action, romance, and horror. You can also read the synopsis of every movie, which means a small summary of what the movie is basically all about. It also includes information on how the professionals have rated all these movies, although I have to say they're sometimes to harsh. This is just like reading movie reviews on a newspaper but the only difference is that kids are the writers, which makes it more interesting.

Penelope

This is a very romantic and funny movie fit for all viewers. The movie I’m speaking about is Penelope. This movie is based on a girl who was cursed with a pig nose and the only way the cursed can be stopped is by finding true love from a prince. At first she's afraid of rejection and runs away from everything but in the end she accepts herself for who she really is. Not only does everyone suggest that it's one of the best but critics have rated it with four stars. The main characters are in this amazing film are Christina Ricci (Penelope), James McAvoy (Max), Catherine O' Hara (Jessica Wilhern), Peter Dinklange (Lemon), Richard E. Grant (Franklin Wilhern), Reese Witherspoon (Annie), Simon Woods (Edward), Ronni Ancona (Wanda), and Lenny Henry (Krull). This modern fairytale is now on theaters for everyone to enjoy.

Awake

If you are someone who loves horror movies Awake is the perfect movie for you. Awake is basically about a patient who has been diagnosed with anesthetic awareness in which he has to take an operation, when the surgeon cuts open his stomach he realizes that the anesthesia wasn’t working and he’s feeling everything but is paralyzed so he can’t do anything about it. After a few minutes he hears the surgeons speaking to themselves and he hears them talking about their attempt to murder him during the operation. Jessica Alba, Hayden Christenson, and Terrence Howard star in this horrifying and thrilling film. Although this is a great movie it is rated R so for all those teens under the ages of seventeen you need a guardian or parent with you when watching Awake. Now that you’ve read about this movie if you’re interested in this movie it’s available on DVD to purchase.

Step Up 2

Step Up 2 is even better than the first and made a great outcome when seen. Step Up 2 is about a street dancer (Andie), who is trying to fit in a new professional dance school and she tries to show what a talented dancer she is but it seems that Andie can’t start a new life all over again. Romance is also a huge element involved in this film which makes it even more interesting to see. Briana Evigan, Robert Hoffman, Will Kemp, Cassie Ventura, Adam G. Sevani, Telisha Shaw star in this upbeat movie. This film also includes a track with many popular songs like Low, Shake Your Pom Pom, Killa, Hypnotized, Is It You, Can't Help But Wait, Church, Ching-A-Ling, Push, 3-6-9, Impossible, Lives In Da Club, Girl You Know, Say Cheese, Let It Go, and Ain't No Stressin’ are included in the movie too. Critics have rated the movie, Step Up 2 with three stars for an overall average. I hope every dance lover is able to enjoy this movie because it’s simply amazing.

Every great and new film will always be mentioned in this selection of our online newspaper. This is a faster and more efficient way to get informed instead of having to look through each section in a newspaper or magazine. I hope you were interested in one of these movies and will visit your local movie theater to watch one of these great films. Remember that we will always update our website for newer releases in theaters. Overall thank you for reading my article and I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it as well.

Roger Clemens

If you where once a fan of Roger Clemens then you are probably 55 and still living in your mom's basement. The once great pitcher is going up against congress for his steroid use.You think this would be the time for him to step up and say he did take them and that it was his will,but instead he goes on making all these excuses and lies.He needs to grow up and face the music don't believe me I'll show you how he has failed himself with the juice.

Roger Clemens has lied several times during his hearing.He said that he didn't attend the infamous party of Jose Canseco.Yet a man who at the time was 11 took photos of Roger at the party.He has been accused of lying in hearing about taking steroids abuse.He continues to lie about it.His former strength trainer said that he had provided Roger Clemens and former teammate and current friend Andy Pettitte with Steroids. He said that he is a nice man that he is a hero to many kids.If that's true then why did you take the Steroids? Why would you give kids the influence that taking steroids to be the best is right? Or better yet your telling them that doing anything just to be the best is right. That's rude.

To make him look even worse he has turned his attention away from his hearing. He has started to train with the Houston Astros. It seems that he thinks he's in the clear.That he was going to get away with with lying.Not only did he take steroids,but he lied like it was nothing.It seems that he doesn't care that he crushed the dreams of many young fans.He is more concerned to keep cheating then to rebuild his reputation.He needs someone or something to wake him up.Well he got that rude awakening.That's right the FBI is now on the job.They are launching an investigation to see if he lied to congress.His lawyers said that they aren't surprised.

I bet you anything you want that Roger Clemens crapped his pants cause of that.He could do time in jail. Can you imagine the great Roger Clemens doing time in jail for a crime he obviously committed? The government can do something right for once. Athletes wouldn't be getting away with crimes. I doubt that will happen! He should be scared for getting the FBI on his case.Know you would think that Roger Clemens would be really worried.It doesn't appear that he is.He is living his life normally. He is attending training camps and other sporting events.He was one of the greatest players ever. He should be inducted into the hall of fame.I mean they let Barry Bonds in their and he used steroids. Still, it disappoints me to see The cheaters to take it away from the true pros.Hank Arron and Babe Ruth (if he was alive) should be pretty pissed.I say not only should they be banned for life.They should be arrested.

Borman Sports Report

Borman has a lot of exiting sport activities that are going on or they a;ll ready passed. The most known sports are basketball, football, and soccer. Most of the teams went to the championship. Also most of the teams that went to the championship and they got a trophy for 2nd place runner up. Even though none of the teams won the first place, mostly got in second place. There was only two teams that didn't go to the championship, the 8th grade girls volleyball and 6th and 7th grade boys basketball. All the other teams went to the championship. That is why Borman had so many exiting sport activities.

All the teams went somewhere with their season. 8th grade boys basketball team had a great season. They started winning their games and they lost to Estrella then they lost to Desert Sands. From those two loses they began winning again. They beat Estrella and that game was very exiting. Desert Sands beat Borman again. The rest of the games that they had they won. From there they went to the play-offs. They won a very close game. The game was so close Borman won by 1 point. Their next game was wingith the defending champions, Desert Sands. That game was the best game Borman had, with Borman beat the defending champions. Borman hasn't beat Desert Sand in two years. Borman went to the championship game. That game was intense, but Borman lost by 5 points. Borman got 2nd place and they got a trophy since 1992. They had already won two trophies.

The 6th and 7th grade boys basketball team had a bad record, their record was 1-9. That was what happened to the boys basketball teams. The 6th and 7th grade girls basketball team also went to the championship but they also lost in the championship. The 8th grade girls basketball team didn't win one game. Football also did very good in their season. They went undefeated for a while. After a while they lost one of their games. The football team went to the championship. They had the best record in our district but that doesn't mean that they were the best because they lost in the championship.

People say that Borman has a little curse because none of the teams that went to the championship won the first place. Soccer had a chance to win that number one spot but it slipped away. Their record was also the best in our district. At Borman a new sport is starting that sport is baseball and softball. They will also go all the way and might win the championship. Their team is skilled at playing baseball and they have played for a long time in their life. That are some reasons why the baseball team will go all the way. Our girls softball team is also a good team that will represent Borman in a good way. Our baseball and softball teams also going to the championship.

Those are the sport activities that are going on in Borman. Basketball did a wonderful job winning games and almost winning the championship since 1992. They didn't but they were very close. The girls, 6th and 7th grade basketball also did a good job. Football also almost brought the first place trophy home. So did soccer but it slipped away. Now softball and baseball will try to bring the first place trophy home. Those are the sport activities that happened or are going to happen in Borman.

poems - some serious, some not

"Immigrants"
Crossing from one state to another
Trying and tying to find a better life.
Knowing that if they make it they might be sent back
All they want is to live better
Why cant people accept that?
The word "Immigrants"shouldn't mean a thing
Why do they judge them?They are just human beings

Falling in place
Always there for you
May leave your side one day
Illness and pain they will be there by your side
Loving,caring,it doesn't matter
You will always love them and they will too


"What is love?"
Love is a bond and strong feeling between people
It may go far or it may last little
It all depend about your feelings
It doesn't have to be between you and 1 person
It also is a love between family and friends
You know that if they love you they will ALWAYS be there when you need them
Love is anywhere you just have to know where to find it


Honesty is what everyone has in them
Only people who care about you will be honest with you
Never tell a lie
Everyone has to be honest in order to get respect
Someone may lie to you but if they do you'll know that they are not your true friends
True people will be honest with you
You have to learn between right and wrong


"Beauty in and out"
Look at her standing by herself
I wonder why she is lonely?
She is so beautiful!
Or is it because only my eyes can see her beauty within her soul
Wait i don't even know her
I'm gonna go to talk to her
Yes yes i will
OK I'm going
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I'm blind
Why couldn't i see it before
She is the most beautiful thing I've seen in my life
I can see it in her eyes
She is beautiful in and out!


?Bat-Man or Robbin?
Bat-man is the hero
Robbin is the sidekick
They both fight against evil together
But the big question is who is better?
Bat-man Bat-man tunununununu
Or
Robbin tananananana
The answer is
?????????????
None of the above
They both wear tights
Who wants to have a super hero with tights???

a few poems

by SG

"love"

Love is it in your heart do you have any love for something.
Ordinary people do have love in them
Very little changes there is one who does not have any love at all
Everyone should help these love less people in our world.
http://www.goldenwonders.com/pictures/hearts.jpg

"Run away"

A young couple running to see freedom.
Could they make it to that place.
They are hiding there face.
They are face to face to life or death.
People hunting after them.

"Poor him"
Illegal drugs destroying young dreams.
Look at him he is stealing from his grandmother just to get some weed.
Losing respect from everyone no more trust.
He got lost did not know where to go.
Begging for money but he still lives in the street.



"Look at her"
A young girl is called mom at age 14.
Is this even right to be a girl just destroyed her dream.
She flee to be free.
She should of stay in school but now she is begging because she can't have a job.
Her kid was taking away from her they gave it to her parents.
Now she is dieing she has std she was exposed to prostitute.
Dieing alone for her action.



"She can't speak"
Pain is going every where though her body.
She say her dad abusing her mom.
Scared to speak up.
She hides in the corner crying so much.
Her mom and her run away to be free.

an everyday villain

Buses: A use of transportation , but what happens when it can also endanger you life? That's what happened in Gilbert, Arizona to a 15-year-old girl who got in a fist fight with her bus driver. Kim Sullivan ( the bus driver ) stopped the bus when see saw the student talking on the phone. She told the student to find a different way of transportation, when the young girl decided to get off the bus. The bus driver then refused to let her off the bus and physically pushed her.The girl immediately called her mom. That's when the bus driver threw her phone. Everything went down hill after that resulting in a fist fight between Kim and the student and later involved Kim Sullivan's daughter.
Kim Sullivan and the 15-year-old student were both charged with Aggravated Assault and Disorderly Conduct. Kim's daughter and another student were charged with Disorderly Conduct. In my eyes Ms. Sullivan was wrong on her part. She is the villain of this story. Firstly she picked on the she picked personally picked on the student for some unknown reason. I can prove that because on the video there's at least 4 other students using their phones. For her to pick on just the young girl and target the subject only directly to her was immature. Not only did Kim Sullivan make a bad name for herself , she also gave a bad reputation for bus drivers. Parents were less trustful with bus drivers. Kids are even skipping the bus to walk. It's crazy how one person can change the mind of so many. I was even wary about riding the bus. I would hate to be put in that position of the 15-year-old girl. Mostly because she was also charged with Aggravated Assault. All because of a grumpy lady. There is so many different outtakes that could have came out better if Kim Sullivan would have just stopped and thought about what she was doing to this poor young girl

It's dreadful when a teacher personally embarrasses you in front of a crowd, when a bus driver does that it's unbelievable. What cruel person would provoke a fist fight between themselves and and a minor? Many people after hearing this tried to themselves in the students position [including myself]. If a bus driver were to yell at me and refuse to let me off the bus, what would I do? If she then physically push towards my seat and then punch me in the chest, how would I react? If she threw my phone out of the bus, then punch me again , would I fight back? It's obvious that 3 out of 4 kids would fight back, so what was Kim Sullivan thinking as she went about with her actions. What if she wanted to start a fight.

Whatever Kim Sullivan's reasons were for her actions they definitely back fired. She has made a bad name for her and made parents now question the thought of their children riding the bus. This bus driver is the exact opposite of what I call a hero. She is a villain.

a few movies I recommend

Have you ever liked a movie so much that you couldn't stop watching it?Since the time television was first invented people have enjoyed watching different kinds of movies because they are just the best way to have fun.Movies are not all the same of course because if they were that way then it would get boring to watch movies with the same meaning.There are movies in which some are sad and others are happy this is a good thing because not everyone has the same taste in things one person might like a scary movie but another person might like suspense movies.I think that a movie is a great way to express how you feel about something and to show people how some tings really happen.

Are We Done Yet was released on April 4,2007, it was a big hit.The genre for this movie is comedy and family. It was directed by Steve Carr,he obviously knew what he was doing. The main characters were Ice Cube [Nick Persons],Nia Long [Suzanne Persons],John C. Mcginley [Chuck Mitchell Jr.],Aliesha Allen [Linsey Persons],and Philip Bolden [Kevin Persons].This movie is about a newlyweds nick and Suzanne they decide to buy a new home away from the hustle of the city to give their kids a better life.But when they meet Chuck the supposedly realestate agent that sells them the house of their dreams, Nicks dream house becomes his worst nightmare.He then finds out that the wonderful house they bought isn't so wonderful after all because they started out with a small problem and ended up almost making the house again.During that time Nick meets a lot of different people,gets in to fights and gets to know the truth about Chuck.Oh yea,i also forgot to tell you that his wife got pregnant and Chuck helped deliver the two most beautiful baby boys.And at the end everyone was happy accept for one little accident that happened to Nick's car.

Another fantastic movie is Pans Labyrinth it was released on October 11,2006 ,personally it has been one of my favorites.Drama,fantasy,and thriller were all rolled into one to make the genre of this movie.The director of this movie was Guillermo Del Toro,if any of you are planing to become directors make sure to ask him for advise on how to make a truly great movie.The main characters of these movie were Ivana Baquero [Ofelia],Sergi Lopez [Vidal],Maribel Verdu [Mercedes],and Doug Jones [pale man].This movie takes place in1944 Francos Spain , during a war.It is about a young girl that loves to read about mystical creatures such as fairies and truly beliefs they do exist.One day she goes into a labyrinth and meets a faun that tells her she is a princess and that he needs her help .He gives her a book telling what 3 things she had to do,but no one could find out about it.So she did everything he ask her but during that time her mom died because she was expecting and back then they didn't have a lot of resources and it was just to much for her.But she also got a little brother and as they say babies are god's blessing.Well, since i can't write the whole movie I'm just going to summaries it in eight words ''You have to see ,it to believe it'

One of my favorite comedies is Little Man it was realised on July 14,2006.The genre of this movie is comedy and crime.It's director is Keenan Ivory Wayans.It's main characters are Marlon Wayans [Calvin],Shawn Wayans [Darryl],and Kerry Washington [Vanessa].This movie is about a dwarf criminal that just got out of jail he joins his normal height brother [that's the only thing normal about him] to steal a huge diamond .When the police goes after them Calvin hides the diamond in the pures of Vanessa an executive.She is married to Darryl a man who really wants to have a baby.Well,after they put the diamond in her bag they fallow her home and they come up with the idea to make them think that Calvin is a baby.Vanessa and Darryl fall for and keep him without knowing who he really is.They go through the most weird situations and Calvin get6s to know how Darryl really feels about him and them he tells him the truth about their whole plan.At the end they both become good friends even though everything that had happened.
So the next time you want to go watch a movie think about all the great options you have,because not only the movies the new movies are good there are also fantastic old ones.For example I bet that this article has made you want to see these three movies. I know that it would do that to me.I have learned not to judge movies because it's the same with people you have to get to know them or for movies watch them. But I also agree that their are movies so bad that make you think twice about not judging other movies, because I've seen some that look like the person who made them didn't know what a movie is suppose to be.Have you ever seen one of those kinds of movies?How did they make you feel about other movies?
