Let's party like it's 1807
Lately, I’ve been thinking, it’s only a matter of time before the 29th of June rolls around and I turn the big 1-8. But an even greater milestone is coming up for an institution we’re all very familiar with. That’s right, Jarvisites; our beloved Jarvis Collegiate Institute is celebrating its 200th anniversary! And it has been quite the couple of centuries.
Deal or no deal?
The debate over the Toronto District School Board’s cuts to balance its 2006-2007 budget opened with a lady in the front row beating her canes together and singing a rousing protest song against any cuts to school funding. It was a perfect opening to a night filled with a circus mix of partisanship, buffoonery and last minute rewriting of board spending, which was intermittently filled with acrobatic
maneuvering under the big top of the TDSB.
Another Brick in the Wall
In a country ravaged by war and torn apart by economic and political greed, Sierra Leone is in desperate need of the world’s attention. Sierra Leone is a small country on the west coast of Africa that has suffered the atrocities of a brutal, 11-year civil war, during which countrymen were maimed and mutilated. It is a country that has been ripped apart at the seams.
Math Just Got Harder
So what is calculus? This has been the question many seniors at Jarvis have been asking since the start of the year. In the Advanced Functions and Introductory Calculus course, students were introduced to calculus in early November, which doesn't seem to bother many students. Yet, last year, students were learning calculus from the very beginning. That’s not a big problem, right?
