Sir, Yes Sir!
Read this article about the broken window theory. And then watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5rp9CvUKh4&app=desktop.
There has been a lot of talk, particularly in the blog from two weeks ago, about rules that many students see as "useless", or "stupid". So, tell me what you think about the broken window theory.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_windows_theory
If you need some more information, I provided you with a link to a wiki just to give you a general idea of what it is.
How and why might the broken window theory be important to a school? Give me your reaction to the theory and general and whether or not you think the theory is a good one. What might be some of the benefits of a broken window theory and what might be some of the problems. Why do you think it is so controversial?

It's Your Lucky Day
So, since we had a two hour delay, I did not have time to assign the other class "What the Bagel Man Saw", so that will be the subject of this week's blog! Most of you have already read it. So here goes the blog assignment:
Read What the Bagel Man Saw . It is also in your text book, but here is a link also. Additionally, listen to Me and Julio Down by the School Yard . The gist of the song is that "Me and Julio" got caught doing something illegal and were sent to the clink. They got released after a radical priest argued for their innocence. Mama Pajama is the lady who turned them in. The video was filmed in Paul Simon's old neighborhood in Queens New York where he met his music partner Art Garfunkel.
So, make an argument for or against the use of an honor code at Elk County Catholic High School. You can reference the article and or the song. Put an * next to your thesis.
