POW #4

Dear Portia,

Sometimes I honestly can't believe how inconsiderate my husband can be. The other night I had the worst nightmere about my dear Caesar dying.I expressed my concern about this horrific dream to him, and for my sake, I begged him to stay home with me instead of going out into town. At first he just laughed and thought it was silly, but then he finally realized how worried I was, and being the sweet husband I know, he agreed to stay home. But then all of a sudden his friend walks in, hears the dream and tells Caesar that the dream meant something completely differernt then what I said it had originally meant (And I'm the one who dreamed it!!). He also told him that he should to go to town anyways. So then of course Caesar doesn't want to look like he's whipped in front of his buddy, so he says my dream is stupid and went to town anyways. I can't believe he could be so cold hearted, I mean I'm worried because I care about him and it couldn't hurt to just stay home for one day. I don't understand why men have to act to macho and tough all the time. Do you and Brutus have these problems? What should I do?

Sincerly,
Calpurnia

P.S
He's sleeping on the couch tonight.

Dear Calpurina,

I'm so glad you sent me this letter, because I was going to send you one about Brutus and I!! So Lately Brutus has been acting so strange, it almost seems like he's hiding something from me. When I asked him what was wrong he didn't tell me, but you know there's no way I believed that. So, basically I told him that whatever he's hiding from me he can tell me becaue we're married and that's what I'm here for. When I said this to him he listened and once again acted like nothing was wrong still. I'm so hurt that Brutus would keep something from me. Isn't the whole point of marriage s to always be there for somebody you care about and to love them no matter what happens? How can I do this for him if he is always pushing me away? I agree with you, I have no idea why men try to act so tough and act like they can handle everything on their own all the time. I guess the best thing we can do as wives is to keep an open heart and let them know how much we really care for them, even if they do act like jerks sometimes. We also need to remind them that they are married to us and it is their duty to honor and respect us. Hope to hear from you soon, and good luck.

Sincerly,
Portia

P.S
Brutus will also be sleeping on the couch tonight...

POW#3 No Added School

Who wants to make up 2 extra days of school? There is some debate about whether or not we should have the days we’ve gone over added on the end of the year. However, I disagree with think andtink we shouldn't have to make up any school. People can’t control what the weather is going to be like, why add on the extra time that we wouldn’t have had otherwise that could cut into peoples summer plans?

Admitidley, having school an extra 2 days would allow us to study for finals longer.This year we’ve had a total of six snow days, but our school district only planned for four days. An extra 2 days of schools gives teachers an opportunity to give us more review over subjects, but it would be pointless because most students are usually alread perpared for their tests. And if we didn't have school it woud give students a chance to become more responsible in what they do.

What exactly is a snowday? A snowwday is when the district decides to cancle certain schools because it’s either, snowing really badly; or it’s way to cold for students to wait outside for buses. The snow can also freeze and the rodes become slick. We have snow days for safety reasons. It wouldn't be fair if students and teachers got hurt trying to get to the school while trying to arrive on time and while deaing with the crazy weather. We can’t control when we’re going to have a blizzard, rain, sunshine, ect, so I don’t think we should have a consequence for something we can’t control.

Another reason we shouldn't add school days to the end to the year is because many people already have plans. Big trips that may have taken weeks to plan could be ruined by this decsion. Along with camps, trips, and other various activities people usually have already taken the liberty to preplan their summers before it has started. Any why shouldn't they? The summer is our time to get away from the demands of schoolwork and shouldn't be cut into because the district decided to give us snowdays.
