LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Confronting Tech Realities

I

n this issue of the Messenger, we chose to explore technology- the way it has and continues to pervade every aspect of our lives and leave a distinctive mark on our generation. Whether or not this change is for the better, whether the educational technology kick is warranted, one thing is sure. Technology is transforming the economy, and by extension, the job market. Even to the most progressive, this change is viscerally alarming.

We see the impact of the uncertainty this rapid shift has brought in current politics.

We saw it in the election, an in the tone and rhetoric of the candidates; Americans are scared for their livelyhood. Manufacturing jobs are disappearing. Truck driving is on its death bed. And while rival politicians and media outlets fixate on the president’s risk for heart disease and his behavior around foreign diplomats, their collective outrage, disdain, and confoundment reamain innefectual. Working class America does not care about the President’s dietary concerns.

In coming elections, the candidates who present the most convincing vision for the future of the middle class family, the candidate best abe to reassure Americans that they will be employed till the next election cycle, are the candidates who will get votes.

In the same way our politicians must adapt to the growing concerns raised by technology,

artificial intelligence, and machine learning, so must our education system. Introductory computer classes can no longer stop at Word and Excel proficiency, or memorizing the letters of the keyboard. Children and adolcents are already contantly engaged with technological media. Why shouldn’t schools teach kids the science behind the apps they already use around the clock? Schools can empower students to use their technology to be players in an age of accerating innovation, instead of being used by tech companies. To facilitate this shift from consumer to creator, coding education should start in Middle School and be compulsory throughout High School. Such measures are the only way to- if not prepare students directly for careers as programmers- give them an understanding of the tech language that runs the world around them.

The wave of change- bringing Artificial Intelligence and machine learning to our doorsteps- can be disconcerting. But if we are to respond to it, we cannot shy away from the facts, nor can we believe politicians who refuse to confront the impact new technologies will have on the job market in the near future. We have to educate ourselves about what technology means for our jobs and education and system of government, because denying it is no longer an option.

Students and faculty filed in the gym to welcome former military officers to Northview on November 9th, for the annual Veterans Day Assembly. JROTC (Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps) recreated the famous war photo, Iwo Jima. In previous years, JROTC was a program which had majority male participants in the color guard branch, but now it is many more female students. JROTC then did a honorary flag ceremony for all the branches of the military. Students rose during the honorary songs of the different branches, played

by Northview’s band and chorus programs. Military veteran Wayne Kidd, gave a both comical and informative speech. He described his near death experiences and the life lessons he learned while on the force.

The crowd cheered as the enormous red curtains ended the first play of the year. Northview’s theater program put on their fall production ‘I Hate Hamlet’ this past month. This comedic performance based on the Shakespearean play, “Hamlet,” left the crowd in tears from laughter. The theater was filled with students and families always ready to support their school. Andrew Rally ,played by junior Constantin Claassen, was a big headed commercial actor. Rally and his girlfriend Deirdre McDavey, played by sophomore Katerina Khudoley, moved into the old home of John Barrymore ,played by senior Joshua Lau, courtesy of Felicia Dantine, played by sophomore Grace Breslin, their real estate agent. Rally soon got offered a role in a local Hamlet play with the help of Lillian Troy played by senior Claudia Moreno. However, he then was offered another role in a TV series willing to pay tons of money for his appearance, with the help of Rallys manager, Gary Peter Lefkowitz, played by junior Kabir Gandhi. To Help Rally along with the decision, the ghost of Barrymore comedically prepared Rally for Hamlet. In the end, Rally found his passion for theater and did not return to the face of cameras.

The city of Atlanta held a nonpartisan mayoral election on November 7, 2017 where 12 candidates faced off for the position. Incumbent Mayor Kasim Reed was no longer able to run for re-election as he was term-limited by Georgia law, but he did endorese candidate Keisha Lance Bottoms. The election resulted in two front-runners, Atlanta City Councilmembers Keisha Lance Bottoms and Mary Norwood. Neither of the canidates recieved over 50 percent of the vote that the state of Georgia requires.

Norwood, a long time favorite lost to Bottoms in terms of number of votes, but Bottoms still did not recieve enough to be considered an absolute majority. As a result, a runoff will be held between Bottoms and Norwood on Tuesday December 5, 2017. Former candidates such as Kwanza Hall have already begun to endorse the front-runners, leading to the upcoming runoff which will determine the next mayor of the city of Atlanta.

On November 17, the all girls band Antigone Rising visited Northview High School to share a message of hope and empowerment with students. The band was formed by Cathy and Kristen Henderson, sisters to Northview’s Thomas Henderson. Both sisters and lead vocalist Nini Camps visited Northview, giving students a taste of their music, followed by talking about experiences and answering questions. The English Department’s Tania Pope hosted the event, introducing the band’s mission to advocate for female empowerment, specifically revolving nontraditional careers. The women spoke about how they have started an organization called Girls Rising after several performances of some of their most famous songs, in efforts to foster girl empowerment career-wise and leadership-wise. Kristen, the guitarist and songwriter, has had her individual impact on society with her famous cover on Times Magazine during the peak of the LGBTQ+ rights movement. These women are helping pave the way for equality for all through their strong and motivational messages found in their songs.

No Money, More Problems Fulton County faces backlash over new taxes AKSHAY NAIR, SPORTS EDITOR

N

ear the end of October word broke that the Fulton County School Board was running out of money.

News rapidly spread that all activities occurring outside school times would be cancelled, and there was a scarcity of paper available for teachers’ use. Rumors circulated that school would be cancelled or that teachers would not be paid. Such far-fetched speculation made people fear that there could be a lack of toilet paper or food in the cafeteria.

Despite the initial panic, Northview’s administration maintained a pragmatic approach to the issue. Other than rationing paper, students and staff have not been af-

fected severely. Previously scheduled events, such as the theater production of “I Hate Hamlet” and the annual Ace for Abbey volleyball tournament, still took place despite the required power and thus money. Thus far, principal Brian Downey has allocated all discretionary funds to students and teachers for short-term needs, rather than saving for future uses. This has allowed him to preserve the usual Northview environment and prevent panic in the student body. In fact, the teachers have adapted to the situation and responded by implementing new, innovative teaching methods in their classrooms. “ It forced the teachers to be more cre-

ative in how they were able to teach the students with something new that we haven’t seen before,“ junior Jameson Drake said.

The calamity stems from complications surrounding Fulton County property taxes.

Property tax bills are usually sent over the summer, and about two-thirds of the school budget is derived from these funds. This year, property taxes skyrocketed with rates going up by as much as 50% compared to the previous year. This raise caused public outrage, and many property owners flooded the Fulton commissioners with complaints. The clamor resulted in the board reevaluating the price of property, and thus delaying the

sending of tax bills. The Georgia State Department of Revenue then declared that Fulton County violated the law when lowering the rate; hence, it could not send tax bills to residents. However, on November 3, a judge ruled that Fulton County could send the tax bills using the increased rates, citing fear of unfair consequences for the students. As the taxes must be paid by January 15, at the latest, the school budget looks hopeful next semester. Until then, however, while there may not be any immediate dangers, there are still some uneasy feelings present.

“We are still nervous about the December bills, but the chief financial officer and the superintendent very clearly stated that if we continue to be smart between now and then, we should be fine,” Downey said.

For teachers, the primary concern is the risk of a possible furlough, a state when an employer places an employee in a temporary, non-pay leave of absence. With such a tight budget, cancelling pay for teachers, although a last resort, may be a reality going forward. This possibility was further cemented when an email from Fulton superintendent Jeff Rose highlighted that payroll was moved from December 20 to December 29. The uncertainty of the situation has caused tension for teachers. The crisis’s close proximity to Thanksgiving break and winter break has caused problems concerning hol-

iday spending. The later payroll date could pose difficulties for teachers with families and affect vacations.

“The major difference is that they are going to pay us later this year. They usually pay us on the last day of the semester and that has to last until January 15, but this year they

For teachers, the primary concern is the

Most students have treated the matter as an inconvenience rather than an emergency.

Senior and Beta Club president Rohan Sohani barely noticed any differences in his classes, other than teachers trying to conserve paper. Club meetings, in either the morning or after school, have been conducted at the previously scheduled time with no interruptions. Sohani’s main concern is the possibility of issues arising from Beta Convention, which will take place next semester.

Other major club conventions such as the Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA) State Leadership Conference and the Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) State Leadership Conference may face similar problems to Beta, regarding busses and paying substitute teachers. But with a recovery plan set to take place in 2018, right now the best option seems to be to deal with any minor difficulties and wait for the next semester.

“Initially, when the news broke out, there was sort of an overreaction. The school made it seem like we were sort of in a ‘drought,’ but in actuality, we were going to be ok,” Sohani said. “ There may be some problems [next semester] that we as students don’t feel, but overall, it’ll be alright.”

BRIEF

Northview’s winter sports teams start their seasons strong.

Wrestling

Whereas previous wrestling teams were underdeveloped and inexperienced, this year the team focused on counteracting this problem by developing and growing over the offseason. The main differences are seen with an increased focus on fitness and keeping a focused mentality. The season started encouragingly with many of the wrestlers winning second place in their competition at Holy Innocents High School. With their first competition being their driving force to success, it has pushed them to train harder everyday and achieve more desired results.

“I think every athlete and coach pushes each other to be their best and be the better man that they were yesterday.” sophomore Justin Yim said. “The coach’s relationship with the team is important because it drives us to show him how much we have learned through practice. He also wants us to have a fun time so we can go into the next day having a positive attitude.”

The team hopes to do better than last year and make every competition count as the season winds down.

Swimming The Northview swim team hopes to continue their streak of quaifying at the state meet. This year, they hope to continue that tradition through teamwork and self improvement at every meet and practice. While they have had successful practices leading up to the first meet, the competition did not meet their standards. However, the team learned a great deal about their strengths and weaknesses while also enjoying the competitive environment.

The team has spent a majority of its time team building. To instill a positive attitude and teach swimmers to never give up.

The positive, supportive atmosphere created by the team will undoubtedly benefit everyone.

“This year the team is a lot more closer than the past years. After the meet we went out to eat, and it was a good time to meet new members on the team” junior Sheri Zhang said. “Through team bonding we will be able to do better as a whole because we will cheer for each other all the way to the last event.”

The team posses an ambition to make it to state this year and recover from losing their first meet. By maintaining a focused mentality and continuing to develop their bonding, the team hopes to make their mark at the state meet.

Girl’s Basketball The Northview girl’s basketball team is looking to improve on last year’s impressive season. Last year, they managed to get to make a deep run at the state tournament before bowing out it in the semifinals. They strive for an even greater goal this season and hope to win the championship for the first time in school history. To try and achieve their goals, the girls must have a strong bond with each other and the coach; they hope to develop good chemistry through strong efforts at every practice. They train hard everyday in order to be the best team in their tough region and in the state.

“Team bonding helps us give a connection with each other, which helps us play better in the game. Our practices help us learn how we play with each other better, and it helps us for actual games,” freshman Eden Sample said.

The team hopes the addition of three new freshmen girls will help it recover from the loss of graduated senior and leading senior Shannon Titus. As the team continues to integrate by practicing together and learning how each team member plays, they hope it will make them as strong as possible. They work hard and watch film to learn each players strengths and weaknesses in order to make up for the loss of graduated seniors. With every practice and game, the team continues to develop and will hopefully inspire a sucessful season.

Boy’s Basketball While last season did not go to plan for the Northview boys basketball team, this season they look to reverse their fortunes. The team had an unfortunate record of 6-13, but many of their previous problems from last year appear to be fixed. The increased intensity at practices and rigorous conditioning have instilled a new mindset for the Titans. Junior Liban Ismael has high hopes for this season, in part due to the increased scrimmages and focus on correcting mistakes.

“I feel like we are very prepared for the first game, because we have been practicing a lot. We also had a scrimmage that helped us determine where our issues were,” Ismael said.

Practice is not the only thing that seems to be an improvement from last season. The new roster changes could also lead to a better record. The roster changes will provide more options in terms of play style.

As many seniors graduated from last year, implementing a new game plan was pivotal in having a winning season. With spirits high in the locker room, the team is confident that they can exceed expectations this year.

Boys’ Basketball Rebounds Team works toward a successful season without a former teammate SUCHITA KUMAR, STAFF WRITER

F

or the upcoming season, the Northview boys basketball team will be missing a key contributor, Justin Brown, who moved schools in order to further his basketball career. The team which struggled last year, only managing to win six games, is hopeful that despite the loss of a major player, they can still improve from last year’s mistakes. In addition to losing Brown, seniors Zane Patel and DJ Poteet both graduated, leaving the team without a great deal of leadership and experience. Brown not only provided younger players with mentorship, he was a positive locker room presence and had an infectious personality which other players loved.

Though Brown’s presence off the court will be missed, upcoming star Joseph Jones looks to fill the shoes left behind

by Brown, and other players can see the initiative he has taken.

“Justin was one of my best friends,” senior Judah Woods said. “Since we lost him this season, Joe Jones is really stepping up and showing a lot of leadership, and we have become a stronger team this season.”

One of the ways the team is trying to get better is by having intense scrimmages and practices. The game-like feel of the practices

should help the team in tight, tense situations in actual games. The team has struggled in previous years to finishing games when having a lead or pulling ahead when the score is close. With more realistic practices, the players can be more prepared to deal with unfamiliar situations.

“

revamped the revamped the style, implementing new plays and schemes. Without a dominant player on the team, they are free to go to a more pass-heavy, offense. Head coach Steven Bombard believes that playing without depending on a major scorer and the familiarity of an old teammate will impact the team short-term, but they should be able to adapt to a new game plan. With more practice using the new system, it could yield a fruitful season.

“If they work well together, then they will play well together,” Bombard said.

“This group of guys is dedicated towards making this season successful.

They have been putting in the work, and I expect their hard work to pay off soon.”

With the season just underway, the team has high spirits. They have acknowledged some problems such as too many turnovers, unwise passes, and getting trapped on offense, but the new game plan instills a new atmosphere for the Titans, one which they hope can take them on a deep playoff run.

“Our main focus right now remains scoring as high as we possibly can. Hopefully we make it to the region championships and win it for Northview,” Causwell said.

Gabriel Garcia, 11 KAUSHAL GANDIKOTA, STAFF WRITER

N

orthview junior Gabriel Garcia advanced to the state level competitions last year for wrestling, and he has no intention of losing speed.

“I started wrestling when I was ten, right after I moved here,” Garcia said.

“My dad wrestled in high school and he recommended it to me. At first, I didn’t take wrestling seriously, but that changed once I realized the opportunities that I could have.”

Garcia’s journey has been long, coming on seven years, and he has been able to experience all the aspects of wrestling: good and bad.

Irene Rho/STAFF

“I’ve been getting lots of emails from colleges. Wrestling nationally will probably get me lots of offers too,” Garcia said.

As one of only two students from Northview that progressed to the state level, he holds a position of authority on the team. Head Coach John MacDonald considers him a pseudo-assistant coach, as he is always teaching new moves to the underclassmen on the team.

“His greatest accomplishment at Northview has definitely been becoming a role model for the wrestlers, as well as maintaining and upholding Titan responsibility,” MacDonald said.

Garcia initially viewed wrestling as more of a hobby rather than a potential career, but he noq considers it extremely crucial to his success in the pursuit of higher education. Wrestling nationally has been a doorway into the world of possibilities that he now envisions.

However, managing a busy schedule as a student athlete is a difficult and tiresome balancing act.

“It’s really tough being a student athlete, because on one hand you want to invest more time into the sport, but you also face the task of completing all your schoolwork,” Garcia said.

Tests, quizzes, and a mounting list of homework assignments do little to ease the stress on a student’s mind. Athletes are often met with the tough choice of choosing between academics and athletics.

To facilitate this process, coaches play a major role in their athlete’s lives by preventing the student from having to come to an ultimatum. Garcia, in turn, regards his coaches with respect and often goes to him for advice on a variety of matters. MacDonald fulfills his duty as head coach with a very natural approach to coaching wrestling.

“I always stress that academics

3 consecutive wins at Nationals

comes first,” MacDonald said. “The practices are very open, with everybody having the ability to contribute. I take a very Laissez-Faire approach with little stress being applied to structure.”

Gabe cites MacDonald’sa advice as the reason for his winner mentality.

MacDonald preaches the fighter attitude as necessary to win matches that have advanced Garcia to this stage in his career. He carries these lessons over when he mentors the new wrestlers on the team. However, his coach is not the only one responsible for his success.

Gabe values his relationships with his teammates and credits them for a lot of his accomplishments.

“He’s really the heart of the team now, and he’s helped me a lot. He’s been a great training partner, and an equally good friend,” former teammate Simon Shuster, now a junior at Alpharetta High School, said.

DISCONNECT

IN EDUCATIONAL, SOCIAL, AND VOCATIONAL SPHERES, NORTHVIEW STUDENTS ARE MORE RELIANT ON TECHNOLOGY THAN PREVIOUS GENERATIONS. HERE WE EXPLORE HOW THIS SHIFT HAS IMPACTED OUR LIVES.

“

Lessons are still most effectively taught through traditional, hands-on demonstrations for students to truly immerse themselves in the learning material.

-Sol Aboulafia

C

hris has a smartphone, but a smartphone in name only. It’s not the latest, greatest, most expensive model on the market. No, it’s five years old. Scratched up. Old. Clunky.

Slow. So slow, in fact, it wouldn’t be able to support a lot of apps even if he wanted it to. But he doesn’t-- and he

likes it that way.

Chris is an outlier. He’s different.

As soon as you meet him, you’ll realize it. He hates technology. He misses the simplicity of his old flip phone.

And sometimes, he wishes he still had it. If it were up to him, he’d opt out of Northview’s Chromebook program because he prefers to do his school work by hand-- with a pen and paper.

Aside from Facebook and GroupMe, he stays away from social media. But after a heated argument with a project partner back in tenth grade, Chris quit GroupMe too. To him, it just wasn’t worth it.

He hates the anticipation of online communication--the nagging in the back of your mind about what someone will say next. Seeing something written out in such a cold and impersonal way, Chris thinks, stings unlike anything else.

Being beholden to it, is worse.

“When you read a mean message over and over again, it starts messing with your head.” He said. “In real life you can just brush it off and move on.”

In eighth grade, Chris got his first cell phone. And at first, he liked it.

Shortly, though, his appreciation dulled.

He realized that he preferred talking to people face to face. People have flaws and he likes that. Awkward pauses.

Voice cracks. Stutters. Or squeaks. All of it: better. Because for Chris, it’s real.

That makes all the difference.

“There’s nothing that compares to

interacting with your classmates in person.” He said. “Even if you look stupid, it’s still fun, and you might learn something.”

Chris doesn’t hate technology because he read an article or subscribes to any media buzz about it (It’s not that he doesn’t pay attention to these things-he does). But his beliefs stem from genuine personal experience. Looking around in class, he notices its effects on a daily basis. He watches as his classmates zone out on their laptops, ignoring an unknowing teacher. And cringes as unhealthy habits continue to creep into the classroom and take grip of his once lively and engaging classmates.

“It seemed like a good idea in theory.” He said. “But it’s a major distraction.”

When asked whether he’s worried about the broader effects of the internet and smartphones on future generations, he paused for a moment and peered off into the distance.

“Yeah, I would be concerned.” He said. “Yeah, I would.”

But in a modern culture where innovation supersedes tradition, Chris is an anomaly. For sophomore Janice Nam and her friends, technology has become an integral aspect of their social lives, facilitating not only social gatherings but a means for studying and homework help between each other. Social media platforms can serve as an instantaneous way for information about a school social event to be spread, but

it also preserves memories from sports games, school dances, parties, and other gatherings.

“It’s made hanging out with friends more fun,” Nam said. “But it can also be annoying because sometimes I find the need to take so many pictures for Instagram.”

It is also useful in the classroom, whether it be for homework help or providing variety in the curriculum.

Nam believes that it can improve the efficiency of doing schoolwork, as all the informational tools that may be needed are at a student’s fingertips; however, it can also serve as a distraction from completing that work.

Rather than a flaw in adolescents, Nam views technology as a means of promoting diversity and discouraging ignorance. While teenagers are becoming increasingly dependent on their phones, at the same time it is exposing them to cultures and issues well beyond their communities, giving them a chance to expand their scope of influence.

Parents are constantly weighing the advantages and disadvantages of letting their kids use technology and social media. Adrienne Brown, a mother to a freshman in high school and a sixth grader, allows her kids to use technolo-

gy, and she views it as a w a y to trigger creativity and innovation. However, with all the information at their fingertips, she worries that this method of learning can inhibit the full exploration of information due to all the information being posted already online.

“Bias is already in place because of someone else’s influence on the subject,” Brown said.

Brown agrees that technology has benefited the lives of her children; however, she refuses to let it replace her parenting, emphasizing the importance in parents’ engagement with their kids.

In classrooms especially, the growing initiative to incorporate technology in every crevice of the curriculum has revolutionized the way that students

learn and the way instructors teach. Media center specialist Darryl Paul is a bridging factor between new and old, as he works with not only the traditional books of the media center, but also the

Percent of the day the average survyed Northview student spends on their phone.

Minimum time a Northview student spent on their phone in one day new Chromebooks, and as the media center increases in innovation, Paul’s job behind the desk is changing as well.

“I don’t have to keep as many books on hand, such as encyclopedias. I don’t have to have encyclopedias or reference books,” Paul said. “They are more available freely online.”

This changing dynamic of resources is a distinct advantage for students today, having access to both the books of the media center and the innovation in technology the school has to offer.

Working hands on with both technology and books, he views the media center as a symbol of the vast possibilities the combination of both mediums of resources.

“As far as education, I think it is definitely positive because you’re instantly connected to any information you need,” Paul said. “You can find things you would have to go to the library to find, and you can just go on the internet. I think that’s a massive ad-

“

vantage in education because so many things are at your fingertips that were not before.”

Meredith Evans, a Literature teacher at Northview, uses technology in her day to day curriculum. She often utilizes platforms such as Google Classroom to aid in her daily instruction to post notes, classwork assignments, and study tools on the class pages. For students who are absent, they can simply log onto the Google Classroom, and catch up immediately any lessons they missed.

As schools become more committed to providing all students with devices, she has noticed that technology in the classroom is also a way to customize the curriculum to each students’ preferred pace and method of learning. Incorporating technology into the day-to-day lessons also provides more hands opportunities, and Evans noticed that this motivates her students to be more engaged with her lessons.

“I use for lessons allow me to find

new ways to help each student improve on an individual level with a variety of lesson formats that cover a wide range of learning styles,” Evans said.

As a teacher for over fifty years, Sol Aboulafia, an Honors Anatomy teacher, recognizes the benefits of using technology in the classroom; however, he believes some aspects of teaching cannot be replaced by technology. For anatomy in particular, lessons are still most effectively taught through traditional, hands-on demonstrations for students to truly immerse themselves in the learning material.

“There’s nothing more important than hands on learning, and we do labs several times a week in this course because you can’t see something on a screen that’s comparable to what you can see when you’re dissecting an actual organism,” Aboulafia said. “I prefer the labs over using actual technology because you can see it, touch it, feel it. It makes more sense.”

You’re instantly

connected to any information you need”

Principal Downey, however, doesn’t seem to think that any sense of technology addiction is something that we should worry about. He thinks, if anything, technology just adds an extra step to the game of teenage communication.

In his day, he told us, they just passed notes instead of sending text messages.

“It drives me nuts whenever I hear people complain about today’s kids.”

He said. “Adults have been having the same conversations about kids for decades upon decades upon decades... It’s nonsense.”

To him, the implementation of Chromebooks was a no-brainer. Students were already using much of the technologies that the laptops promote-now, everybody has an equal opportunity to take advantage of them. The school’s role, is just to meet students in the middle.

“I don’t think there are any cons.”

He said.

Principal Downey isn’t alone in his opinions though. In fact, most of the people we interviewed seemed to agree

that the media buzz is overblown.

“I think the media overdoes everything, it’s a legitimate fear to have, but it doesn’t apply to everybody.”

Devansh Yerpude said.

Despite personally avoiding technology, Chris doesn’t think eliminating it all together is going to solve the problem.

“It’s become a fact of life in the 21st century.” he said.

If anything, Chris thinks overcoming its woes is more of a mindset. He thinks it’s a trap that people fall just into.

It starts with laziness, he told us, but then eventually people put technology use over everything else.

“It creates an atmosphere where nothing really matters.” He said. “And that’s what I really don’t like about it.”

A Day of Rememberance

Military Veteran, Wayne Kidd, speaks at Northview’s annual Veterans Day Assembly and reminices about what the army has taught him.

AMANDA BEARD, MANAGING EDITOR

D

ec. 13, 1967. For military veteran Wayne Kidd, this day will never be forgotten. It started with the loss of the tail rotor, that is when the helicopter started spinning. Kidd grabbed for the bolted down radio equipment, but it was too late. The helicopter had crashed by then.

“I don’t remember crashing, just moving around on fire,” Kidd said. “It wasn’t until I put out the flames on my body that I heard the screams of those still trapped in the helicopter. [It] had flipped over on im-

pact, trapping everyone on board who was belted in except me who wasn’t wearing a seat belt as I was sitting in the doorway.”

The shock from the crash allowed Kidd to not notice the pain initially. Filled with adrenaline, he rushed into the ruined vehicle, and succeeding in pulling out two bodies, charred from the fire. As he headed in one more time to remove another crew member, the helicopter exploded.

“I remember laying there not knowing where the bodies of those I pulled out were

and that I didn’t have any clothes on except my boots and didn’t have my weapons,” Kidd said.

As Officer for the Batallion, Kidd taught the company commanders about their specific positions by flying ‘bird’s eye view’ of where their mission will be and what will most likely occur. Due to a mechanical malfunction, the tail rotor on the helicopter failed, causing the crash.

After being sent to a recovery facility in San Antonio, Texas, Kidd was later told the two crew members he had pulled out devastating-

ly did not make it, along with the four other men who remain trapped. He shared part of his endearing tale on Nov. 10 at Northview High School’s annual Veterans Day Assembly. Every year students gather in the Auxiliary gym to honor all of the soldiers who have served or are currently serving. The ceremony includes music, a tribute to each branch and a speaker, this year’s being Wayne Kidd.

“When you look around the crowd and you see a lot of kids stand up for whatever branch it is, it kind of just hits home that we have a lot of people in this community who know people or have people in their life who serve,” Principal Brian Downey said.

While the multiple aspects of the ceremony payed tribute respectfully and honorably to the veterans, Kidd’s speech resonated with many students and faculty in the audience. He focused and delved deep into few points he found necessary to reiterate to high schoolers, while sharing stories such as the crash as well as other relevant experiences about facing rejection and hardship while pursuing his dream.

“I think students in the audience got this life, really easy to understand, highly univer-

sal life vestige they get to apply to their own life,” social studies teacher Mark Anderson said. “And one thing that Veterans Day does is that for anyone really paying attention, you can learn really good advice from someone who has something really good to offer.”

Kidd shared the experience of the crash during his speech for many reasons, yet most importantly was to convey to students about the importance of being passionate when choosing to serve.

“What I liked about the speech that was given, and Mr. Kidd said this very clearly, it’s [serving] not for everybody,” Downey said. “If you heard the speech he said ‘If you’re not sure, don’t do it.’ It’s a bit of a calling and those who answer that call and give of themselves should be respected, should be thanked and should be honored.”

Kidd left the audience with a sense of what it really means to have a passion for serving and how to be brave in times of distress. His lasting remarks teach how to create luck rather than waiting for it while also making out what one is good at, so they can strive to achieve and excel in it.

Northview’s JROTC reflects inclusivity of all students, regardless of gender KYNDAL DICKEY, STAFF WRITER

J

unior Reserve Officer’s Training Corps, known as JROTC, is a cornerstone not only at Northview, but also in the community. They prepare for yearround events that range from facilitating the annual Veterans Day Assembly to entertaining kids at the Shakerag Fall Carnival. Most importantly, JROTC is an avenue where people of all nationalities and genders are represented in a common goal of representing America. Women in particular have rose in prominence, finding their strength among a club traditionally geared towards men.

Social studies teacher and club sponsor Thomas Henderson recognizes the importance in fostering success for everyone, regardless of their gender.

“We want the group to be successful, and we want to be strong,” Henderson said. “We are happy to see everyone whether it’s men or women.”

However, it is not about fighting stereotypes alone; it is the comradery and friendship within the club that makes women feel comfortable because they are never overlooked by their gender.

Since there are no assigned officers for leadership roles, everyone is expected to contribute and take on responsibilities as they come.

“When I was in school the seniors were expected to be the leaders of our sports and clubs,” Henderson said. “This is how JROTC functions at Northview.”

The female seniors of JROTC have always been prominent leaders, and through the years, they have set an example for underclassmen girls that they too can lead in JROTC. Within this role, the men and women alike work for the betterment of the club as a whole, but also towards their specific aspirations for their careers, whether it be in the military or in their own career paths. Even if they do not have a concrete idea of what they want to do, JROTC gives them an opportunity to experience the workings and drills behind the military.

Senior David Lee is currently the Lieutenant of JROTC, and he joined freshman year as an active effort to change his lifestyle. Throughout the years, he has worked side by side with the women of JROTC, and he says while they are included in everything, the only challenge they may face is outside criticism. Lee fully supports the idea of expanding the resources and opportunties of the club to women.

“I feel like the odd one out now,” Lee said.

“JROTC is mostly female, but it’s always a good thing that it’s bringing up interests for others”

Lee also inspired senior Abbi Page to join JROTC in sophomore year, nearly dragging her to the sign-up table and giving her the extra push she needed to explore it. As a leading woman in the club, Page has worked her way up to be Second-In-Command, helping to train the other cadets. Since sophomore year, she has joined this growing community of men and women. While there is no discrimination within the club, she hears about the struggles potential female cadets have with their parents who are concerned with them joining JROTC. For Page, it was not necessarily an insurmountable obstacle; rather, it was just a slight conflict between her and her mom.

“I didn’t really have that many problems with being in a traditionally male role because the guys at JROTC are so accepting, and they recognize that women can do this,” Page said. “”My mom wants me to be lady-like, and she doesn’t really see JROTC as that, so it was a struggle to convince her to let me join.”

At the end of the day, the members of JROTC are just another family at Northview, and while judgement may exist outside of the group, the bond between the students cannot be touched by stereotypes in gender.

FACEOFF DO COSTS OF INCREASED TECHNOLOGY USAGE IN THE CLASSROOM OUTWEIGH THE BENEFITS FOR STUDENTS?

OPINIONS

YES ALEX PERRY, BUSINESS MANAGER

T

he question behind integration of technology in today’s classrooms continues to be juggled in the 21st century learning arenas, with no end in sight to the buzz each has created.

The reasoning behind integrating more technology into schools is simple- to further connect the school and to make information more accessible. However, technology makes it hard for teachers to instruct students if the lesson plan was dependant on the technology itself. Student are also able to blame unfinished school work on technological errors such as WiFi crashes or malfunctioning technology instead of depending on the tried and true ‘did you do it or not’ worksheets.

Classroom technology is expensive, with the potential to create huge inequities among schools and students. Low-income schools are at a disadvantage. They may have to fore-

go digital tools (or productive tool-to-student ratios), and their teachers are less likely to receive formal training in the use of digital tools in the classroom.

Also, because modern technology is updated every year, counties would waste resources trying to keep up with all the new software and products. Even though a county might decide to keep outdated technology for another year, millions of dollars can be thrown down the drain repairing and replacing the previous year’s devices.

For many schools, the red tape in funding poses huge hurdles. A district needs to budget for both acquiring multi-media tools and teacher training, and keeping each current. By the time some districts receive funding, their purchase, no matter how progressive at the time, will be outdated in a few years.

Since at least the mid-1990s, tech ma-

vens and education experts have vociferously vaunted the promise and potential of “technology in the classroom”—and have solicited and spent funds accordingly.

Yet, research increasingly suggests that extensive screen time undermines the ability to focus, one of the most basic prerequisites not only for acquiring knowledge, but also for relating well and living deeply. To spend billions of dollars annually nationwide on attempts that have been proven futile in improving student performance within classrooms walls in senseless.

The argument behind keeping schools low-tech does not translate into keyboard-less learning. Instead, it means rethinking what sort of classroom technology is being introduced, , for what purpose, and how teachers are being trained to use it for students’ greatest benefit.

n today’s globalized and digitalized society, the greatest skill an individual can have is technological literacy. Schools serve to prepare students for future endeavors. Though there is merit in the argument that since there is great variability and unpredictability in what career paths will students will pursue in the future, high schools cannot fully prepare students for the future. Yet, one thing is for certain; technology is here to stay.

Day by day, every profession employs increasingly more technology. Even occupations like law, which has been long stereotyped with being out of date and keeping hundreds of paper copies of lengthy case files, have shifted towards increasing technology. For example, I participated in an internship at a large law firm this past summer, and I was surprised to learn that they had a specific campus dedicated to Information Technology (IT). Seeing a sizable team of programmers and technology specialists in a law firm really opened my eyes to how dramatic the shift towards is. Technology is

and will continue to be a major part of our modern society.

It is true that with regard to public schools, they receive the short end of the stick with regards to budget allocation. And for that reason, it is also true that often many schools suffer from underfunding and struggle to balance their budgets which makes it understandable why many may be against the idea of increased technological spending in schools. But if children do not familiarize themselves in high school itself, then will they have the opportunity to develop this relevant skill?

Increasingly, to the average American citizen owning or at least the ability to operate a digital device like a desktop, laptop, tablet, or smartphone is becoming more and more commonplace. The reality is that many students may not have the ability or opportunity to learn how to use technology outside of school.

This concept of not having technology is something relatively unknown to students

at Northview because we have privileges and opportunities that students in other socioeconomic conditions do not have. When these students go to college, they will feel they are behind their peers because college is a microcosm of the real world, and the real world is very technologically savvy and literate.

In order to fulfill its fundamental purpose, schools should continue to invest in technology because the resulting benefits greatly outweigh the costs. This requires a fundamental change in how we as society view our school systems and their benefits.

Simply put, schools need more money to operate, and by withholding important funds from schools, schools are inhibited in their ability to provide for students.

With the introduction of technology into schools, other expenditures such as textbooks and paper supply will become unnecessary. Technology spending is not an additional expenditure, rather it should replace existing expenditures which our schools have failed to do.

atriotism: the sole aspect of United States’ culture more stereotypically American than fast food, cowboy boots, and ‘y’all’. Veritably the only force standing up to sinister nationalism lurking in America’s politically correct shadows.

Historical records paint patriotism and nationalism as iconic enemies, but politics isn’t a Disney movie; there isn’t a good versus evil dynamic. Patriotism and nationalism emulate identical twins more than sworn enemies.

Recently, amidst uprisings of Nazi sympathizers and a steady growing prominence of the KKK, nationalism has reclaimed its reputation for destruction.

Marches in Poland on November 11, Polish Independence Day, revealed the growing population of Nazi sympathizers and white supremacists in Poland. In a perversion of the textbook definition of nationalism, Polish marchers openly support a force that killed at least 1.9 million Polish civilians in World War II. News outlets quickly labelled this aversion to the present government in reminiscence of far-right authority as nationalism for lack of a better term. Try racism? However, Polish news sources aren’t the only examples of fueling the nationalism versus patriotism debate. The United States proves just as guilty.

In headlines reporting the August protests in Charlottesville, Virginia, there was

no distinction between ‘nationalist’ and ‘white supremacist’.

A prominent scene characterizing the Charlottesville marches: Neo-Nazis attack students who are defending a statue of Thomas Jefferson. The media defines white supremacists as nationalists, but the students, protecting a statue of one of the United States’ Founding Fathers, exhibit more nationalist qualities.

Giving Neo-Nazis and white supremacists the title ‘nationalist’ allows them to commit crimes in the name of patriotism, a mindset which fans the flames of discrimination.

In the United States, celebrating Veteran’s Day serves as a vehicle to express gratitude and respect for former members of the United States military.

Defined as patriotic, this celebration allows a day in which American citizens can feel especially proud of their country. Americans honor those who have protected the United States, but offering white supremacists the term ‘nationalism’ to hide behind leaves no distinction between citizens honoring war heroes and neo-Nazis.

This being said, it’s too difficult of a feat to rewrite history to present nationalism and patriotism as interchangeable, but it’s not too late to stop portraying hateful people as vigilantes protecting their country.

THE LOW DOWN

COLUMN

When Congress Fails Us Our lawmakers in Washington have ceased to adequately deal with gun violence. Enough is enough.

JACK LOWRANCE, OPINIONS EDITOR

I

f the American gun violence epidemic were happening in another country, our politicians would surely condemn it. The state department would issue a travel warning. And Americans would consider this country with much the same regard as they do places like the Philippines, South Africa and Mexico-- all of which, I should note, have lower firearm-related death rates than that of the United States.

If the American gun violence epidemic were instead a disease outbreak, our politicians would surely work fervently to solve it.

We would push for more vaccinations. We would allocate more tax money to research solutions to the problem. And we would urge our fellow citizens to wash their hands often and stay home when they fall ill.

If the American gun violence epidemic were instead an upsurge in bank robberies, the government would surely act quickly. Politicians would urge law enforcement officials to keep a close eye on the banks of their towns.

Citizens would be encouraged to report suspicious activity. And harsher punishments would be enacted to further discourage potential perpetrators.

If the American gun violence epidemic were instead a massive drought, our politicians would urge us to conserve water. They would actively seek out solutions to the problem.

And they would pass legislation making it harder for such a catastrophe to happen again.

If the American gun violence were-- quite literally-- anything else, our elected officials would be working around the clock to find a

solution. Yet on gun violence, they fall silent.

Why? In the face of so much loss, why this? Why now?

Too many people have died. Too much blood has been spilled. Too many tears have been shed. No mother-- absolutely no mother-- should have to fear that her children will be shot during their day at school.

Yet today, in the United States, such a fear isn’t unreasonable.

This epidemic doesn’t discriminate either. It haunts us all, finding its way to every corner of our beautiful country. Las Vegas.

Orlando. Aurora. San Bernadino. Columbine. Sandy Hook. Most recently, Sutherland Springs. But those are just the ones you’ve heard of. In 2016, there were 383 mass shootings. And in total, nearly 60,000 people were involved in an incidence of gun violence last year.

With this all in mind, I feel especially compelled to share the story of the Holcombe family of Sutherland Springs, Texas. For them, the morning of Nov. 5, was a typical Sunday at church. Until, a gunman burst into the church and killed 26 people-including eight members of their family. In an instant, nearly three generations of a family were dead. Gone. Stolen from loved ones, friends, and neighbors. Karla and Bryan.

Marc and Noah. Crystal, her unborn child, and Emily and Megan and Greg. May you all rest in peace.

I did not know these people. But their passing deeply upsets me nonetheless. Just as easily, this could’ve been my family. Just as easily, a gunman could’ve come to our

church that Sunday morning. And just as easily, it could be Johns Creek mourning the loss of 26 good people. We’re all more lucky than we realize.

Often, it seems, politicians tell us that in the wake of such tragedy it’s not appropriate to talk about solutions to gun violence.

They say it’s too soon. They say it’s not the time. But to these politicians let me say this: it wasn’t Karla’s time either. Nor Bryan’s.

Nor Marc’s or Noah’s. Nor Crystal and her unborn child’s, Emily’s, Megan’s, or Greg’s.

It wasn’t their time.

For a long time, I considered the issue of gun violence to be just another point of tension between Republicans and Democrats.

Simply one of many points of contentiousness in the greater sphere of partisan squabbling. But now, in the thick of, perhaps, the most dire of times, I’ve come to see the issue for what it truly is: an American problem. If you want what is best for this country, you simply must support the search for a realistic solution to this senseless bloodshed. I refuse to believe that a rational person can look at it any other way.

John Locke said that the best government is one which protects its citizens rights to life, liberty, and property. But the threat of gun violence makes me fear for my life. It makes me fear for my property.

And It makes me fear for my freedom. This is not what our government is supposed to do. This is not how the United States should be. This is tyranny, my friends. This is tyranny.

he St Louis singer SZA has been in the music industry since 2012, however, she has just earned her first Grammy nominations this year, under several categories. Sza was nominated under Best New Artist, Best Urban Contemporary Album, Best R&B Song, Best Rap/Sung Performance, and Best R&B Performance. While her album CTRL itself recieved a nomination, three of her songs off the album recieved nominations. SZA ‘s nomination surprised her, as she didn’t believe that people would like her music without the help of outside writers. Seeing as she’s gotten multiple Grammy nominations, it’s safe to say that SZA’s authenticity has resonated with the crowd.

n November 10, Taylor Swift dropped her highly anticipated album Reputation. It was a new side of Swift that we got to hear and several new stories she had to tell. After the 1989 World Tour, Swift went into hiding to record new music and avoid the public eye.

In February of 2016, Kanye West released his song Famous which had a very crude line about the relationship between Swift and West. There was plenty of drama to go around and it ended with Swift getting a new nickname, that of a reptile which slithers and hisses its tongue. When she released Look What You Made Me Do back in August, many were skeptical on how they felt because it was a new sound.

In classic Taylor Swift style, she dropped the music video at the 2017 American Music Awards and incorporated the new nickname, the new drama, and some of the classic Taylor all into one. In the weeks prior to the album release, Swift hosted several secret sessions (listening events) for her biggest fans. “Everything about this album is a secret.”Swift told fans at her Nashville home.

As Swift does what she does best, each song is very clear to depict what it is about. While we are shown a new side of Swift, we also have some old roots in there. So when the question comes about...Is the “Old Taylor” really dead?
