Colorado math standards are insulting the student, because they are creating a new lesson plan to fit a student without common sense. The new teachings will show how what is being  taught in the math class  will relate  to life, which isn’t a bad thing, but truly, shouldn’t common sense realization be made in the real life not in a class room?

Schools are there to teach us tools that will benefit us. Yet is the school getting too involved? Perhaps the younger generation just might be getting lazier.

It may very well be time to re-integrate a few old rules and old teachings. It’s time to get the younger generation prepared for what is ahead in life, because teachers aren’t always gonna be there to walk them through everything and  tell them what they should do.

Then again if one should not teach common sense in schools where  will it be taught?  Should this  be left to the parents or maybe other head figures in children’s lives?

What we should be looking for isn’t a fountain of youth but a fountain of common sense. What we do know is that the  younger generation is becoming dependent on anything and everything.  Take a stand for a little common sense to get put back into life or just sit there and let whatever they watched on t.v. last night dictate how they live.

Founding editor of the Cowboy Round Up, Logan Sanderson is attending Wheaton College Near Chicago, Illinois. He seems to have taken a liking to his new home in the most prestigious  Christian college  in the United States. Planning to get a degree in physics, Mr. Sanderson  is also planning on becoming a  high school teacher after  his wise  years at Wheaton. You may ask why one would become a high school teacher after gaining a degree in physics  from a high ranking school. He says  he can make a bigger difference  and a bigger change, hopefully, then if he were just to work for a large company. Mr. Sanderson even though a few thousand miles  away, still manages to keep track of us here in are little town. He’s constantly keeping watch on his creation and always updating  it. Mr. Sanderson we  greatly appreciate what you have done  and thank you very much  for continuing  with it even though you’re in college. Thank you very much from the entire MHS journalism staff.
