New york city take less on school budget

The New York City Department on Monday decided to cut on school budget. Schools Chancellor Cathleen P. Black said that 50 cents would be taken on every dollars principals had managed to save. But Mayor Micheal Bloomberg who agreed at the beginning said after the meeting on Monday, “I immediately signed off on it.” In my opinion this is a bad thing that they had plan and I am glad that they decided to not do it anymore because this could have had a big effect on the school in the U.S.

AT&T and T-Mobile merge

 

AT&T and T-Mobile merge for $39 billion of dollars. This actual merge of AT&T and T-Mobile will put many small company as Sprint and Metro PCS  might be out of the competition. Paul Reynolds, electronics editor at Consumer Reports said “Without some of the smaller competitors, you won’t have the competitive pressure that leads to lower prices and innovations and offerings among the carriers,”. In my opinion this merge is not a good idea because AT&T is a very expansive company and if they merge with T-Mobile it might become more expansive than it is already.

Tsunami Crashes Into Japan

An 8.9 magnitude earthquake hit Japan on Friday. Having an earthquake and a tsunami crushing on Japan really affected the civilian in many different way as, many people dying and lots of businesses destroyed. Police said that more than 200 bodies were found in Sendai a port city in the northeastern part of the country. By having all of these natural disasters happening in the country Japan is now in very big trouble because, their economy is really going down and it is really affecting people and affecting the world. In my opinion this is going to be very hard for Japan to come back to the way they were before because, there was a lots of destruction.

High School students and stress

The stress faced by teenagers today is more complicated then most adults, teachers and parents would understand. Lots of teenagers today have to deal with a lots of stress and most of the time, the adults around them don't understand what they are going through with all of that stress. Most of them would mostly think that the teenagers are just to lazy which is wrong. These stress can have many different effect on student as suicide which is very bad and many others too. Psychologist Dr. Anita Barrows, who has 25 years of experience counseling children and adolescents, estimates that 60 to 70 percent of teenagers are affected negatively by stress. In my opinion adults should listen more to teenagers and their problem instead of think that they are just to lazy.
