Clark Chronicle

Today was the last school day of 2008! It was also the day that I got the latest edition of "The Clark Chronicle." It's one interesting student made newspaper. To read the latest edition, you can visit this site. The main article was about drug use happening right under our noses at a park just a few steps from my school. That sure made me feel safe.

I found a graph with some very handy information, except there were no labels. I had no idea what to then, so I check out a different graph. This one did have labels, but they were color coded, and the paper is printed in black-and-white. Again, I was confused. Next, I found that the pictures of "the latest holiday gadgets" had somehow been switched around. In many of the articles there is the happy message that we shouldn't worry so much about how we appear to others. I find these messages hard to find sincere because, on the back of every issue, there is a large advertisement for the "Smooth Skin Laser Clinic." I felt sure that a nice simple article about our school's strict dress code enforcement might make a little more sense. It started off just fine, but it soon turned into an article about our school's drug enforcement. The article sums up by saying that "If so many people are being punished for not following the dress code, surely the school is absolutely on top of issues like drugs." I understand that this article was published in the opinions section, but what kind of logic is used to say something like that? I think that if Clark is so good at catching dress code offenders, they would be good at finding silly mistakes in their newspaper. Please fix these problems with Clark's newspaper. Many of the articles our very well-written. I just want our school's newspaper to be a little more professional. Also, add a crossword or something. Sometimes I get bored during enrichment.
