Agony aunt about larry rogers response.

Dear unreasonable, I think your student was merely trying to be funny, i think we both know that you really do love this larry rogers character. Ask yourself, would it really upset you this much if you didn't? Here is what you should do: Talk to this student and reason with them, telling them that this is not acceptable behavior. However, there is no need to be harsh with him as i am sure he was just meaning it as a practical joke. In fact, honorable mention or special awards for services rendered to the school could definately be considered. His nerve should be honored instead of stomped out. So, unreasonable i hope everything works out with you and Larry, best of wishes.

Agony Aunt letters

Dear Auntie Joe I have many close friends in my school. We all have unlocked lockers in our PE locker room. My friends feel quite comfortable to take things from my locker—my school uniform shirt, my coat, my deodorant—and use them. I don’t mind, but I wish they would put the things back where they found them. I have received two discipline slips because I cannot find my uniform shirt. What can I do to get them to respect my property and my need for “boundaries?”–Frustrated in Ferikoy

Well Frustrated, i wouldn't make such a big deal about these sort of things. Are your friendships worth more or a couple of discipline slips? You shouldn't leave stuff lying around that you don't want people to borrow in the first place. If you have a problem with them borrowing your stuff then tell them, although that is the action of a shallow friend and be prepared for them to say as much.



Dear Uncle Joe I have a lot of homework every night. At the same time, I want to spend time with my friends, participate in extra-curricular activities, and use Facebook. If I don’t get on Facebook every night, I feel left out. At the same time, I think I’m wasting a lot of time and it is one way I could make better use of my time. What do you suggest?-- Lonely in Libadiye

Lonely, you have to get your priortites straight. A good education will always be there, but the momentary satisfaction of talking with friends will pass in a day. Focus your time and efforts on what really matters. Preferably, pick up a guitar and forget everything else. In your case however, just concentrate on what really matters.

The Sleeze Tribune

A DARKER PAST


Lichael Mee is known by most people as a mild-mannered principal of the international school GAI, but is this the real Mr. Mee? This reporter interviewed the illustrious Mr. Mee and found things that just don’t add up.

Mr. Mee said, “I had no concept of working overseas to begin with...” But something made him move: was it just a need for a change, or maybe a prescription of R and R or could it be something even more sinister? He said he left in a hurry; he had to get out fast, could this be because of some tangle with the law?

Mr. Mee has an African-American accent. Even his closest friends attest to the fact. Most people believe that he is Korean-American, but is that really true? Shocking evidence has recently been unveiled that Mr. Mee might be African-American himself. Plastic surgery can do wonders for someone. He speaks with no hint of a Korean accent. (Sorry Mr. Mee but you should have done your homework before trying to pull a fast one on us. We know our Korean accents!) Mr. Mee himself said, “I am probably the most African-American in this school.” Was that just a passing comment, or was it hinting at a much darker past? What does this mean? Why did Mr. Mee have to change his face and move overseas in a hurry?

In our exclusive interview with Lichael Mee we discovered that he spent some time in a Russian bathhouse talking to someone shrouded in mystery (and steam). Could this unknown character be part of the mob or an international spy?

These are the schools where Mr. Mee taught:
Korean language school
GAI
Blackmany-trees-in-one-area Academy

Look closely! Taking the first letter of each school spells out KGB! Is this a coincidence? I think not. Also, on his tombstone he wants the words, “Inspired by one, he expired many!” What does that mean?! He expired many? How many people has he already expired?!
Mr. Mee also revealed that he had no dreams as a child except to be a runner. Could this be simply because he was expecting to be incarcerated at an early age along with all his gang friends or could it possibly mean that even at an early age Lichael Mee knew that he was destined for a life on the run?

It is possible that coming to GAI Lichael Mee is trying to turn over a new leaf. However, eyewitnesses claim that outside the school Mr. Mee was seen ducking out of sight into a manhole so no one could see what he was up to; one witness claims that Mee has pulled this trick more than once.

So, Mr. Mee are you really the mild-mannered man you expect us to believe you are, or is there a much darker past and present that you keep hidden behind your big smile and warm demeanor? You aren’t fooling us! Watch out Mr. Mee! We are on to you.

The Lion's Pride

The I== Lions, a high-school basketball team, had a fun season of playing and learning last year. They are now on the brink of starting their new season and are going to be facing more fun and more experience, but is there more that they are looking forward to this year and what are they expecting of this sports season? I talked to a few players and the coach and they all had something to say.

"We are going to be preparing for our main event in three weeks, a tournament in Ankara. We will be using an offense we used last year. It is going to be a lot of hard work in preparation for the tournament, " Coach Lentz said during a team meeting last friday. He said the team will focus on playing well and playing hard as a unit. And as with every coach, he hopes to match and excel above what the team did last year.

"I really just want to have a good time and play some fun games. I am not to worried about games or winning, as long as we have good games and i can get some good shots, then it will be fine," said Guard Joe Lutz.

This team has a lot of good players, some will not be returning next year. These players have given their all for these last four years in high school and have played their hearts out. Player Jesse Seabury, starting guard, said this during an exclusive interview, "I really just want to play well this year. Hopefully i will dunk by the end of the season. I hope that coach doesn't have us practicing on the same court as the younger players as this would decrease our playing ability and will just make the gym crowded."

Last year the I== lions won half their games and lost the other half. This years who knows what to expect, most the players are returning this year to the team and maybe this already established team chemistry will give the I== Lions the advantage they need to come out on top. This reporter wishes his best to the Lions at their tournament at the end of this month, good luck!
