The members of 3OH!3 are strange, posers, and hard to take seriously.

Fast food, as most everyone knows, is an industry in which unhealthy food which is nevertheless considered delicious by a shamefully large portion of the population.  3OH!3 is a fairly popular and relatively new electro-pop band, founded in 2004.  But the similarities go deeper than comparable fan bases.

Online Class Complaint

November 1st, 2009 RV Xpress Staff No comments

I, as well as many other RVHS seniors, have found that the online courses, which were implemented as a way to make up lost credit hours, are pointless and absurd.

The reason that I am addressing this is because I am a student who has not gone to RVHS for his whole career as a high-schooler.  I went to school in Ohio for my Freshman through Junior years.  The school I went to did not have off blocks, we went from 7:20 in the morning to 2:30 every day, and life was good.  Upon arriving and learning that I had to complete an online course, I was a little upset.

Not only did I go to a school where I was receiving all of my credit hours, this year, I believe that I am enrolled in a very rigorous schedule including only one off block.  I think that the school administration should make an exception to students like me and students who have had only one off block their whole time in high school.

Knowing that this is not going to happen, however, I do want to add that this course is a good way for students to get the feel of an online program and see what it will be like in a college class conducted online.
