an estimated $250 million. I have not seen it yet, but I do want to!

Long Response:

Read the story on page SC1 "Why more school districts are holding class...."
This story talked about how many schools all over the US are converting to a 4 day schedule. This has many benefits for rural schools, such as attracting more teachers and allowing time for the families to make long trips to the grocery store or basic shopping, but also has many fallbacks. This schedule could lead to the schools losing money, as well as potentially harming the student's quality of education.
2. Some advantages include allowing the families more time to travel extensive trips due to the isolated area and attracting more staff members.
3. Some disadvantages include costing the school more money than it's worth and forcing working parents to hire babysitters when they cannot watch their kids during the normal school day.
4. I would be in favor because it would give me more time to work on my homework and projects.
5. I would have to make sure to focus really hard in school because I would be learning more than what I would usually learn in a day.
6. My parents would probably be in favor of it because my dad works from home and my mom is a stay at home mom.
7. I would deal with longer school days by making sure that I have enough food to keep me full and also maybe start bringing coffee or tea to make sure I stay awake.

The larger the aperture, the smaller the f-stop. 3. The aperture affects the depth of field because the larger the aperture is, then the more focused objects are in the foreground while the smaller the aperture is, the more focused objects are in the background.

Photo Manipulation and Ethics

Image
A) I've learned that when you manipulate photos there is a fine line between ethical and nonethical photos. Photoshop is very controversial and can cause many people to be upset about edited photos. Many major publishing companies do not tolerate doctored images at all, and can cause people to lose their jobs. B) The philosophy of photo manipulation for newspaper companies like the Washington Post and New York Times is to provide very strict guidelines for any sort of photoshop. C) I think that it is acceptable to altar an image as long as it does not affect the meaning of an image. I do not think it is ethical to crop somebody's face onto someone else's body because it is hinting that that is their body. I do, however, think that adjusting colors or lighting is acceptable. D) I think that this image is the most unethical because it shows Oprah's head on somebody else's body while stating that it is Oprah. Also, this was published without the consent of eithe
