-people babysit for each other in our neighborhood condo
-we all see each other a lot
-one of the neighbors is in charge of our outside
-we have a clean up man
-we all have backyards
-except the upstairs people
-each person has 2 floors

B-everyone is friendly
-we all say hi
-everyone is helpful when necessary
C-some people don't talk
-a lot of people do not like the one in charge
-parties aren't ever constructed
D-PARTY
E-When parties are created for events, people do not usually invite their neighbors.
But sometimes they do, maybe for a birthday, or Christmas.
I want to invite my neighbors over for Superbowl. I think it would help to get everyone closer and more friendly
F-My over all goal is to completely bring my neighborhood closer and make people more comfortable.
G-Get people's attention
then invite them over for superbowl and see if they're busy or not.
H-I can record how many people want to come, how many are busy, and who just cant make it.
Then from that I can conclude how many people actually show up.
After seeing how many people come, I can come to a conclusion of who has become more friendly and more comfortable having a discussion.

2. It’s a Jewish home
3. Lots of food

C-
1. We don’t see/speak to each other enough
2. Dirty house
3. Argue about the computer

D-
Stop arguing about the computer and Television

E-
It is difficult to have one computer in a house for four people. One TV in the living room, one in my brothers. It Is always a huge argument.

F-
With only one computer in the living room, it is not so easy to share with three other people. Also with so many people, the memory suffers from so many things. It runs slower than normal, and it gets very annoying.


H-
My action plan for this is going to be to lower the stress level in my house and tension between people. I will do this by stopping where it begins, the computer and Television. Everyone in the house is frustrated because everyone wants to be on both at the same time. So I will stop this by helping and not getting in others way when they need to use either of them. I am going to record the stress level between people in the house, tally off the amounts of fights(even though there were still some).

J-K-
Stress level has gone down, lowered the tension. People in the house are a lot happier and more willingly to give up the “screens”. It is nice to see all of us sharing and asking politely to take over the computer and TV. Being able to change my whole family spirit is very encouraging because seeing how awesome everyone acts towards each other. It is quite incredible, especially seeing my brother be so happy to give up his time on the TV and computer.

L-
I would definitely leave more time and Id like a better way of recording information, I want to see the real results, are people suffering, is it helping us in any ways?

Policy Journal
AP Classes in SOF?
By JD Leonard

College. College is the next step in most of our lives, new people, new homes, new friends, old friends. When you get there, you make new acquaintances, and most of them tell you how their old High School offered AP (Advanced Placement) classes. Those people who took those classes not only now know information that we missed out on, but they also gained college credit, if the College Board accepted it. Each AP class that they took in High School saves them one less class they have to attend in college. This AP class idea is great, isn’t it? Sometimes AP classes are offered, but do not reward college credit, but still, if you are learning this information early on, it will make things a lot better in the future, and easier.
AP classes are really great and should be taken advantage of by people who can truly attend the class. They save time and a lot more, including money, if you receive the credits. Too bad School of the Future doesn’t offer them. Oh well, it was a cool idea. But wait, what if we did have AP classes, of all different subjects? How great would that be? And what if we could even receive college credit for the classes? That would be most excellent
Students who have a real knack or love for certain topics could learn even more and have other students just as fascinated with the topic as they are in their class. Hannah T. in the eleventh grade and I, JD, would like to bring AP classes into SOF, because it really is a great experience. Since starting AP classes in your school is not so easy, it would take a little time to get it approved, not only by the Principle, but other teachers who would be teaching the classes. Then in order to receive college credit for the classes, we would need the college board to sanction the class.
To attend the class, first we would need the teacher to be able to teach an advanced class. Then after everything is approved, we would need to see who, and how many people, would sign up for the class. Then a placement exam would be in order. Lets fight for the right to learn, and soon enough we will all be taking college level classes in high school.

E-Focus on
-there are no AP classes for students who would like them
F-There are a lot of students that I know that have an interest in AP classes, especially Math
I would like to install AP classes into School of the Future
G-We're going to complain to Felix and Ms Razzaqui about the classes, and see what they have to say.
We could take student polls to see who and how many people are trully interested.
After talking to the teachers, we could discuss with College Board.Then we will protest.
H-Make a meeting with Delaura and Razzaqui, possibly Felix as well.
I-To gather data, we can have polls with in the student populas and depending on the amount of students who are actually positive about their regards to the AP class, will determine amount of aggressiveness.
J-Data was not collected, only in class, and only a third of the class was interested.
K-After discussing with MS Delaura, we have found how the classes are "tracked" next year for seniors, so we are very happy to hear that. AP classes though are somewhat out of the question, unless they wanted it after school.
L-Next time I would like to make sure that complete data was collected, but I am somewhat ok hearing how classes are tracked. It makes me more comfortable. It was a good idea, but also not so possible.
