How Schools are prepared

For my next interview I asked to Ms. Pilisi to explained me and sent me some articles that were pretty interesting to understand more about what happens to schools when face with extreme situations like shootings. 
So basically what she explained to me was that schools are prepared in different ways and actually schools in the USA make simulations some times to provide examples to students of what they need to do when they present some situations like this ones. So what I read and also what Ms. Pilisis explained that there are in most of the schools three main instructions that every teacher and students need to know: Run, Hide, or Fight. 
With these rules basically at the beginning of a shooting, when you hear shots fire you need to run the fastest you can until you approach to the nearest exit then use your phone to call the cops. The second option if you can’t run is hide, this rule basically you need if it is possible hide in a room and barricade the door with chairs, tables shelves etc. and stay inside until you see that it is safe to get out. And the last option is to fight and with this if you are in a vulnerable position you would need to fight for your life, it doesn’t matter if you need to harm the teen you need to do the possible to take the gun away from him or her. 
With a brief explanation that we just saw is one of the ways that schools can prevent a catastrophe event like this ones, Mis, Pilisi also sent me some other Articles that explain some of the organizations that are against school shootings and that support schools giving advices like this main rules to keep students and teachers safe.

Prisoners Design What They Can't Buy- Luke

Luke Kirchner      I chose to read the article "Objects Made by Prisoners in the United States". This was a very interesting article, as it showed what it's like to be in an American prison and how they make some objects. When Prisoners are in prison, the severity of their punishments can vary, but the lack of creative freedom is often detrimental to each prisoner. This lack of freedom can sometimes drive their creativity to make their own objects, showing off individual expression. Some items like pens and toothbrushes were not given in the full form, due to the fear of prisoners turning them into weapons. Instead, the prisoners thought about how they could fix these problems. The article says "The items shown here, made by inmates in the U.S. prison system, illustrate the severity of restrictions imposed on prisoners as well as the human instinct to persevere through creativity and invention" (The Atlantic).      They took the ink cartridge for the pen an

Josey - The Fashion Industries Effect on the Enviroment

           Clothing production around the world has doubed since the year 2000, making the fashion indsutry the second biggest polluter in the world. The impact of the indsutry on the enviroment has always been substantial, but in recent years as it has continued to grow, the impact has grown with it. It is estimated that aproximately every second a truck load of clothing is dumped or burned in a landfill. Not only is this a huge amount of resources, but it is also clothing that could easily be reworn or recycled. This is an extremely wasteful amount and is not only affecting the resources that are used, but also the workers who are being forced to produce materials at extremely fast rates.            Wasting these materials is one of the major ways that this is having an effect on the enviroment but another is the waste that is produced and put into the enviroment. Often when factories produce clothing, once they are done they dump chemicals from the factory into rivers. These chemic

Recovering Ecosystems

Tyler Holland Mr. Roddy IHSS 26 March 2020 Recovering Ecosystems A large challenge for stopping the increasing problems that we face with air pollution and other environmental problems, is that humans are natural control freaks. People try so hard to invent new ways to control the risks that our Earth faces instead of just trying to let nature do its work. Isabella and Charlie, a couple who owned farmland in England, came to the realization that nature solves its own problems, after they had a run in with a feared weed for many farmers. Once they discovered the 'cursed thistle' in their farms they feared the worst as it spread so quickly, but they had decided to let it happen because using pesticides and chemicals was not an option for them. After a while they started to see a flourishing environment in their acres that they had not seen there before, painted lady butterflies flew across the land and after a while caterpillars were crawling all over their 60 acres and ea
