Home Schooling Versus Public Schooling

Okay as you all know there is a huge debate going on right now. Is Home Schooling better than Public Schooling and if it is why? Well in being a homeschooler myself I can sit here and give off a list of why homeschooling is so great but then that wouldn't be fair to the other side in this argument.Some advantedges of public schooling include the social aspect some parents think if they don't give their kids the social aspect in their lives they will turn out as the weirdys you find in your local neiborhood but im here to say they won't and although i don't spend as much time as i used to with my friends it doesn't mean i've completely lost out on the social aspect, for those parents who homeschool and think there kids are losing out on the social aspect I strongly reccomend you get your kid involed in sports it's a good way to make sure your son or daughter gets the social aspect they have been missing.

Mockingjay Review

In this thrilling follow up to Suzanne Collins' award winning story, Catching Fire, Katniss Everdeen finds herself in a place where the way of life is completely different. Follow her as she discovers new and exciting truths about people from her past. Although the story had much adventure and mystery I thought it  could have been more successful in making the story flow a little bit better, and that's why I found myself skimming more than just a few pages. But this book keeps you guessing from start to finish and will not disappoint even if your not a fan of this fantastic series.

Avatar: The Last Airbender

Friday morning me and my family went to see the movie The Last Airbender, a cartoon series that M. Night Shyamalan recreated in his latest movie. Being a person who has watched all three seasons of the Last Airbender I was very excited that someone was finally stepping up and taking this daunting task. Watching the previews my hopes were as high as you could possibly imagine so as we got into the theatre the movie was just starting, as it took me through the opening scene I was full of excitement. Then it began. The scenery was amazing and it had so much potential, but through the first scenes I realized something very important they were mispronouncing the characters name, Aang. In the cartoon series they pronounced it slightly different and throughout the movie it  continually annoyed me. But i will say this they did a good job for that big of a task, but I'm not sure if other fans of the TV series will be as forgiving. So all in all it wasn't the worst, it just wasn't the best.
