= hey! This is from MY page on funfetti! -Michelle = = = = Do you think there should be an APAAS or not? =

FOR SURE. of course there should be an APAAS because if there wasn't where would we be right now? We'd be goofing around in class cause it would be way too ez. And plus I love how we have crazy discussions off topic. remember when we were in Mr. M's class how we started talking about the pledge of allegience and then it ended up us talking about republicans and what not. -WESLEY Also, check your mail! I sent you something! and reply to it! please!

But wouldn't APAAS make certain people feel like they're not smart because they didn't get in even though they truly are?
bobo: I don't agree with the knowledge cannot change people part but I do agree with the second part after the comma.

Ant: knowledge can change people by the depth and complexity thing. That just was an example though. People can't change knowledge because it is a fact that we have to face, we might not know the knowledge and can change it our own way we think. We can't change the fact though, which is knowledge. We can only change our knowledge.

Nope your all wrong! JK but i think that knowledge can change people. Let's say hypothetically I could see the future. If I saw that I was going to die young and a slow painful death I'm pretty sure I would be really depressed. that would of changed me because now i would be depressed in stead of happy _WESLEY

Wesley, I'd change my future instead of despairing to a nut. Or if I couldn't, I live my life to the fullest. ==ANTONIO==

I agree with Wesley, because if there was no APPAS we would be stuck inside a boring classroom doing sixth grade math which won't be challenging. My Dad said that when they didn't have advanced classes in England, he zoned out and almost failed his end of the year course. Good thing he brushed up on things he didn't listen to in class. So I am really glad we have a school district that allows us this opportunity. - Tara

I think their should be APAAS. The whole point of APAAS is to have a program for accelerated kids that need to be challenged. Some kids DON'T need to be challenged with the cirriculum presented, and have no need to go into something that isn't right for their level.

Is information the same as knowledge? With knowledge, isn't there also wisdom and awareness? Mrs. M.

True, but couldn't awareness be changed? if more and more countries start to have nuclear weapons, then we have to be aware of those nuclear weapons. So technically, we're changing awareness by adding one more thing that we have to be aware of, right? -Michelle

Sometimes, in my opinion, it is better to be unaware of things than to be aware of them. - Can you guess who I am?

ACTUALLY.. IT WOULD BE BOTH. IT DEPENDS WHO IS LOOKING AT IT. if you say POV is yourself, then your awareness would be changed yesssss... but then, if you said the POV is the country, the country would be aware from the start. so Michelle and others would be right about that. but then GOD (or whatever supreme being you believe in) would have it all written down. he'd have all the blueprints. there's nothing for him to be aware of because God always knows what's he doing. Actually in one of the verses in the Bible, Jesus was able to cure any sickness (as you may know) and He never did anything without a purpose. So there was this time Jesus was to cure a blind man. So He brought the man out of town and SPAT in his eyes. Then Jesus put His hands on the guy's eyes said, can you see? the guy said, i see but people seem to appear as trees. Jesus put His hands on the guys eyes a second time. and He then said, YES I CAN SEE!!! so you could say Jesus was always aware of the whole thing, and even though I dont know what it is, but Jesus had a reason for spitting in the man's eyes. Which reminds me, ALEX WHY would you LOOK FOR songs? THIS SUPER LONG PARAGRAPH IS WRITTEN BY ANTONIO AND THE MINI CAR

I don't get your Jesus point, Antonio and the mini car -Michelle

Well to explain, I don't think God has been changed by knowledge if he already knows all of it. Same with Jesus. He knew why he spat on the man's eyes, and why it took him twice to recover the guy's eyes. It is the only time in the Bible Jesus had a procedure when healing someone. -rac inim eht dna oinotnA
