Text Box: Ask Wyatt... Text Box: Kansas Deer Season Text Box: Wyatt, I have a question; I recently saw one of my classmates cheating on a test. What should I do so they don’t cheat again? Text Box: What’s your opinion about rifle season? To some people a little buck or doe is good for them. Myself, I am going after the Giant Bucks of Kansas. This is kind of hard with season only a week and a half and having school most of the time. To me season should go on for about 3 weeks in December. It should have at least one week during Christmas break for school kids or people who have jobs. Why would it be wrong to chase them with a motor vehicle? They have an advantage on us any way like the trees and all the other place they can hide and they can go places we cant like snow drifts and on private land. Shooting out the window of a stopped vehicle wouldn’t hurt any thing. By the time you get out they are already gone and that’s another deer reproducing. Considering all the deer we have in Kansas that causes wrecks. And if it was up to me every buck tag should come with 2 doe tags to help with the population.

Well, first thing is it’s wrong to cheat and it won’t help at all. Sometimes it can even hurt class grades. 

Let’s say we were copying off another classmates paper because WE forgot to study, and so did the other classmate.  Then the teacher has both of us in after class because we had the same grade, the same answers, and marked the same exact thing.  Now both of us know we are in trouble so we end up just getting a zero.  Since one cheated they hurt their friend’s grade when they didn’t have anything to do with it, yes they might not have had a good grade but it was probably better than a zero. 

If you have done this, I suggest you study, do your best and try to get as many right as possible.  Then you should ask your teacher if you could retake the test if you did poorly and if you are lucky, they will feel a little sympathy and let you take it again. So the main point is don’t cheat…EVER.   OK, if I were you I would tell them you saw them cheating and see if that makes a difference, because most kids would think you were going to tell the teacher.  Most likely they will stop, if not you should tell the teacher, because cheating isn’t helping them and they may not understand the subject so the teacher could help them.

While some teenagers started 2010 by partying with friends and family, Katie Walter spent New Year’s Eve in a frozen tent, celebrating becoming the youngest person to make it to the South Pole. Katie was 17 when she arrived at the pole on December 31, after a 112-mile hike across the Antarctic wilderness. “It was a very good time for a celebration,” she said. Katie insisted that she wasn’t motivated by breaking the record set five years ago by Sarah McNair-Landry, an 18-year-old Canadian. “I wasn’t doing this to be the youngest person — that was just a bonus ball,” she said. “I think it makes no difference, because it’s a personal achievement. It wasn’t about ‘I’m the youngest’, it was about me challenging myself. It was hard, but if it wasn’t, more people would do it.”  Katie’s bravery to trek along in the Antarctic wilderness definitely makes her worthy of the title ‘The Youngest Person to Travel to the South Pole’.
