So in my school, I am to young to be on the school newspaper. I buy a copy of it and the front page has over fifty mistakes that a third grade teacher would mark you down for. The rest of the paper is even worse. It makes me so mad that all the people that are on the school paper only joined to take pictures. They care nothing about writing!

Nagem, write a letter to the teacher who overlooks the paper. There is usually some sort of advisor that has control over the paper.

If the letter is just articulate enough, perhaps they'll make an exception? ;) Or you could even get an editor position?
Perception is everything.

Hehe, Emz. Oh, the irony ;)

But yeah, it really annoys me when I see people doing a rubbish job at something and I can't kinda step in and correct it. Bla.
