World Issue

Being a sports guy, I can't think of any issue more pressing right now then the one going on in baseball. For those of you not familiar refer to the link below before reading. Last week the Mitchell report came out, identifying several high profile baseball players alledgedly involved in steroid or HGH usage. Steroids is a huge issue, not just in baseball, but in all sports in general. Steroids are a quick fix to get bigger, stronger, faster. If this was your job I think that most people would have a hard time refusing to try it, even though it is illegal. I myself have not seen anyone or known of anyone who is on steroids or HGH. I was informed of its side effects in some health class either in high school or college. I have even seen a documentary on MTV documenting people on steroids. What an eye opener. Some doctors even say that steroids taken in moderaction can have little or no side effects. That is just it though, MODERATION! If something is that good you can't just have a little bit. Bet you can't eat just one!

School Issue

The school I am interested in is the issue of dress codes. I believe that there is nothing wrong with school dress codes. In fact, my girlfriend was the one who got the dress code implimented at McGloughlin Middle School this year. Even teachers have to follow the dress code guidlines. Which got me thinking. Is that common practice for students to have a dress code and the teachers have a seperate one. I think that teachers in general have an unwritten dress code policy, as long as it looks semi professional then it is okay. I also think that teachers in general do a good job of maintaining thier professionalism. So I came across an artical that talked about a state government in Australia might require teachers to follow the dress code that they impliment for thier students. I think that this is only fair. Even though we are adults and free to make our own choices. Yet I think that teachers have to lead by example.
