MR. HICKS BE BLOGGIN'!
Hello students! My name is Michael Hicks and I teach Business Education courses at Jay M. Robinson High School! You have found my blog. What is a blog? A blog (short for 'weblog') is a personal online journal that is frequently updated and intended for general public consumption. Blogs generally represent the personality of the author. For this particular blog, it will represent the opinions of myself and my students ONLY. This blog is intended to be reactions, musings, and opinions of my students to topics related to our class content. All opinions posted here reflect the individual authors who respond to each topic and NOT the school system. Please be aware this blog is monitored for content, so please post in a thoughtful and considerate manner. No profanity or derogatory language! I look forward to reading your responses to the topics I post. We may agree or disagree, but remember, you must be civil in your responses. |

Has the state of the economy and the problems we will face changed your outlook on your future plans? Please respond. |
It's a shame that some people have WAY too much time on their hands, especially adults. How could this 'adult' not have know the damage she was causing?
Please read the following attachment concerning a cyberbullying incident gone horribly wrong. Could the parents have done anything different? Should the cyberbully or bullys be prosecuted?
