Here comes the Moss

There once was a time when the Vikings had Bret Favre and they also had Randy Moss. Well that time has come. Yes its true Moss, the big number 84, has returned to the Vikings. Some may view this as a god send because we have needed a wide receiver since Sidney Rice has gone down with his bad hip. Also some may view this as a tragedy because of what happened when Moss played for us earlier. I think this is a blessing. At this time we have no good wide receiver because Rice is out with is hip. Coupled with Bret and Moss' towering desire to play with each other. I think Moss might just save us.

opinion essay "Grading teachers"

Some students ask their teachers what would you get in this class. Well now you can if you got to ratemyteacher.com. You could rate you teacher on the bias of simplicity of the class, ability to understand the class, the teacher’s helpfulness, and their popularity. Your ratings are also anonymous so you can tell how you really feel about that teacher.

I think this is a brilliant idea because if you are new to a school or are going into a new grade you can see what people think about your teacher. Also if you just finished that grade and you either liked or disliked the teacher you can say that and he wont know who you are. You can also add a new teacher if the one you want to grade is not there.

This could also be good for schools. It could be used to see if a teacher came from a different school, the administration could look on ratemyteacher.com and see what students think of the teacher you want to hire. But you would not want to base your decisions solely on this because there is nothing stopping you from rating them 100 times if you want.

This could be good or bad. I think this is an ingenious idea and will be expanding overtime. Also will be adapted for different uses.
