The Phone Policy

The issue in question is the newly initiated policy prohibiting students from using cell phones in between classes in the hallway. Personally I am against this rule. Many people may argue that students should  spend their time walking to class instead of on their phones. However, many students have classes in the same building in close proximity to each other. This leaves students with a wasted use of time spent staring at empty seats. A student could capitalize on this waste of time by checking Angel or important messages. If a student is late to a class then that student should have his/her privileges revoked.

 

Another key point is if you have a punishment you should also have a legitimate reason for choosing that punishment. If you don't have a reason for a punishment besides "because I said so" than that punishment loses legitimacy and shows a lack of thought and frankly a lack of caring. These things are not desirable traits for a principal to have and I doubt that is what Ms. Quinn wants to portray, but they come through.

 

Personally,  I believe  if more information was given about the choice of punishment it would start to clarify her reasoning.

Magical Phone

A magicl phone would come standard with all the applications necessary to have a proper social media experience. The phone camera would have enough megapixels to allow you to see yourself down to the atomic level. This allows for a proper selfie and a flawless selfie almost all of the time. However,this requires incredibly good filters. If you can't take a good selfie it guides you on how to take a good one.

 

Your magical phone should change its physical screen shape to match the 3D pictures currently on display. The screen also depresses as you touch the screen as an interactive feature.

 

Another unique feature would be the surround sound and bass capabilities. Along with those features it also detects reverberations and auto automatically adjust for room size and shape. The phone also gives you editing tools to create your own music and share it.

 

My magical phone may seem unattainable but with some innovation it can become a reality.

My imaginary restaurant

My imaginary restaurant would be called Regality, specializing in luxurious dinning options and handcrafted sumptuous food items. Our tables will feature linens that are pearl dusted and hand hemmed with 24k gold. The flatware will be solid handcrafted 24k gold, and covered with crystal glass and the haft will be covered with low karat diamonds. Our stemware will be crafted from amethyst, rimmed with gold, and lightly dusted with gold dust.

Regality's signature dish will be vanilla ice cream with apple pie. The apple pie will be handcrafted and delicately baked by artisanal pastry chefs with multiple awards from international societies and organizations dedicated to the perfection of confection . However, no expense will be spared, the finest ingredients will be used, and experimentation will be rampant as we will travel the globe to find new ingredients to use in our restaurant. The pie will be a prime example of this as each ingredient will be dissected and examined upon being received and before its usage. Each pie will be garnished with a sugar dome that will encapsulate the hand churned french vanilla bean ice cream.

A small issue with our restaurant is the price, as a result we must receive verification of monatary funds that are deemed exceptable for payment. Regality also requires that you make an appointment a week before the appointments date. This will alow for preperation and floor planning.
