Haven't you wondered who would make it to a college Super Bowl, insetad of having rankings? Many people agree that college football should have a Superbowl. Who would make it to the final two. Battle it out. The elite of the elite; the best two teams instead of high profile teams.
If we had college football playoffs, we could have more time to tell who is the best team. Say you're a football team with the record of 4-8. The worst team in your conference. You might get a miracle. Maybe, just maybe, you can make it to the chapionship. Take the Giants for example. They were on the wildcard and still made it to the Superbown and won. We should give other college teams a chance to go, instead of having rankings. Plus, it's kind of boring ahving the same team going to the Rosebowl over and over again.
Another reason is that only famous teams go to the bowls. We could get teams to play a championship within their conference. At the end, there can all be one big college superbowl. It gets too confusing with all the teams and bowls. It makes the season easier to follow your own team. You can watch just one game, instead of figuring out which bowl to watch.
With playoffs, college teams can imitate the NFL So many more people would watch one huge game rather than 40 different bowls. Having playoffs would make the season easier to follow. Maybe we can make some money off the huge game at the end of the season. But no matter what, let's give other teams a chance to make it all the way.

Bored and Gone

Are the teachers in some classes boring, or is it the classroom itself? Teachers of Camino Real Middle School may notice that students are falling asleep or not paying attention in class. Well, I think I have a solution to that small problem.
Teachers! All you need to do is have more hands on activities or teach in a fun way instead of lecturing for an hour. Talk in different voice or make us do activities with that day's lesson. According to a survey, 45 out of 50 students say teachers need to have more fun.
Classrooms should be colorful. We kids would look forward to going to your class if it was bright and colorful. We hate boring classes. That's why we fall asleep. So, it's not exactly our fault!

"Note" a Problem
by Gino Lamberti
I-pods aren't allowed in class at Camino Real Middle School. I believe that students should be allowed to listen to their i-pods during classes. I-pods actually help students accomplish more while they listen to them. Also, some teachers would like to let you listen to an ipod if it were up to them.
Most teachers wouldn't mind if you listened to your ipod. For instance, when I interviewed them, they all had pretty much the same answer to the question, "Do you think students should be allowed to listen to ipods during class?" One teacher said, "No, I don't mind as long as it's not during a lecture or instruction." But some teachers do mind. One teacher I interviewed said ipods were a distraction.
However, students can multitask. Meaning they can be working on an assignment and listening to their music. Just look at the kids in band!
Also, math is closely related to music so a student should be doing better when they're listening to music. Finally, if every student were allowed to keep their ipods in their pockets, there would be less theft. And students could share their ipods. That way they wouldn't cause a commotion.
So teachers, you want students that are accomplishing much more? Do you want a quiet class? Then let students listen to their ipods. It's a good idea!
