Survey on L.A.L intervention
School 8 I-prep L.A.L intervention
Iakay Lewis Jr.
A survey was taken on 30 students and out of 5 most of the results seem similar. It would be safe to say that most the class all enjoy the same types of food. 3 out of 5 responses says that they would go far distances for chocolate or a Klondike bar. For example, these are the responses, “Worship the Klondike bar gods”,” Jump off a cliff”, “nothin”. Here are the results to eating meat, “yea”, “nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo”, “duhhhhh” “Yahhhh”. Vegetables were “nawww”, “Nah”, “noooooooooooooooooooo”, “nah”, “nahhhh”
Many students as the result would most likely agree to like Klondike bars. As well as more than half the class agreeing they eat meat. With the survey I was able to figure everyone’s taste buds or foods to eat.  Now if just about more than half the surveyed kids liked meat than that results as 80% of the class likes meat. Leaving the other 20 % to say no to liking meat.

Highest Paying Jobs

Highest Paying Jobs, which one will you choose?

Fabliha Roza

Unemployed people are trying to figure out which job they will pick. They wanted to pick a job that pays tons of money. On June 2^nd, 2014, a person researched a website to find the best paying jobs.   

According to http://sweettop10.com/top-10-highest-paying-jobs/, “1. Doctors and Surgeons, Mechanical Engineers and Petroleum Engineers, Information System Managers, Natural Sciences Manager, Software Developers, Information Security Experts, Engineering Managers, Dentists and Orthodontists, Physical Therapists, Database Administrators.”

The highest paying job is being a doctor or a surgeon. However, some jobs listed on the list requires a lot of years of training starting from high school. For example, a pulmonologist (lungs doctor), needs 13 years of training. Other jobs, such as Database Administrators, doesn’t require a long time for training. Jobs should be chosen if you are ready and have enough time to do it.                  

Did you notice? Taxes increased!

 NJ,U.S.     

                         Money is not what it used to be!

    Yesterday I noticed that the price of many things changed in the store, except the candy. I was wondering if the taxes increased or something fishy was going on. The taxes increased 2.9% since April. Why? The government needs these finances to carry out essential projects like testing new vehicles, sending other rockets in outer space to find life in other planets, to build new structures or buildings. Although that 2.9% does not sound that bad, the taxes in NJ were about 7% but now it is 9.9% which is around 10%. Money is not what is used to be back then, $100 is nothing these days. Not even $1000 can support you. The average American needs to make at least $70,000 a year so she/he has a good funding to pay bills, food and clothing. It seems like everyone is trying to get as much money as possible because there is always an opening for a good job. Anyone can spend all their money in 5 minutes or less if they had the money for it. The unemployment rate in the U.S. is 37.2%.

Everyone wants money so badly but it is very hard to keep. Rich people can lose tons of money and don’t really care about it because they think they still have money. It’s not like that, “I bet I can blow away $100 in a minute or less”-My Stepfather. How can we afford to fix this problem? I do not know other than making the government have a 5% tax rate or decrease the prices of certain objects. Money is not what it used to be! What can we do? Nothing! It appears the only thing we can do is wait until things get better.

Is it really that serious?

iPrep News: Student Opinion          

In the beginning of September I got an acceptance letter to I prep academy school number 8. You might say oh your so luck that you got picked in this school and other people (hint*hint* the students) would disagree I surveyed a few people to see whether this school is as serious as they say it is.

Alright the first topic is school lunch. In the paper it said that there would be an Italian chef that would cook gourmet foods for us what do students really feel about this lunch? We asked Marie Fleurmond what she felt about this school lunch and how ‘gourmet’ she thinks it is. She says “It’s okay, they said they were supposed to have an Italian chef but we have the same thing every day uncooked chick nuggets.”

For our second topic we have the rules. I asked Walter Smith what he felt about the school rules were they fair or too strict to bare. He says “I feel like the school rules are very biased. It is only in the teachers favors and it has no use to us cool kids.”

 For our third topic we have the teachers. Are they too mean too strict or nice and give us a good learning experience? We asked Melissa Calda how she felt “these teachers are very rude and feisty. There are only two or three teachers that students actually like.”

Our fourth topic is the laptops. I’m not complaining YET but they said that we were supposed to get iPads. I’m not saying that I don’t like the laptops it’s just that we have laptops breaking left and right and it takes a while to get them fixed they should be able to go to Walmart or wherever they got these and get a new one poof. I asked Nichole Burbano how she feels about the laptops and their ‘ingenuity’ “these laptops are useless, because we barely do any work on them.”

All things considered this school is not as serious as people say it is. The board of education is wasting their time coming here every month. They’re wasting their film taking pictures of us left and right.  

How to tie your shoes
Fredy Mesa

Have you ever looked at your feet and saw those laces untied. You were scared to play with your friends because you know you would fall because your shoes are untied. You wont ask no one to tie it for you because you were shy to say you dint know how to tie your shoes and they would make fun of you. Tying your shoes was one of the hardest things to do when you were young. Well this is to all the youngsters. You grab each lace and cross them then you make bunny ears. As easy as that!!!

Should Americans learn to speak Spanish?

Should Americans learn to speak Spanish?

Jhani Jean

On May 30th 2014, many people were debating on whether Americans should learn Spanish. On many different sites, you can find the pros and cons on whether Americans should look into learning Spanish. They question "Why Learn Spanish?" The real question is "What are the benefits?"

IPrep Academy student Al'Nasir Hankins says, “I don't think Americans should learn Spanish because it takes a long time to even understand the Spanish basics." While another student Jamad Anthony says, "If Americans learn Spanish, we will understand what bilingual people are saying, basically another way for us to communicate." Well, we hope that other Americans think the way Jamad does because Spanish language can really help us and Spanish people too. Better jobs, will be in stored if Americans learned Spanish.

Opinion on the extracurricular activities to do in your school

Zulmari Rivera

I interviewed a fellow student at IPrep Academy named Erica Santana and asked her about her opinion of extracurricular activities to do for her school.  The people who was present at this time is Erica Santana. On a Tuesday 05-29-14 at IPrep Academy Erica explained that she would like swimming and volleyball as extracurricular activities.

Erica Santana will like to have volleyball and swimming because they are sports that many people will enjoy. Volleyball is a sport that many people like to play and it can give you a great exercise for everyone. Swimming can help you cool down when it is really hot in school and out. Having these sports as extracurricular activities is a good idea that many will enjoy for years to come.
