Prison blog post

On Thursday we discussed the life of prisoners. During this class I showed two video clips. The first one was about the role of mandatory minimum sentences. This would lead to overcrowding in Canada's prison system.
The second video clip was on the conditions in a Thai prison.

Here are the two clips.

You homework is to make a blog entry on one of the following:

What is your opinion on tougher sentences as a means of reducing crime

or

Discuss the differences between Thai prisons and Canadian prisons. Which ones ore more effective

Welcome

Your last year at Westview is about to commence and I would like to take the opportunity to welcome you all.

Education can be likened to a great big canvas and this year I would like my students to throw as much paint as they can on the canvas of their education. I appeal to the students, to value and uphold the importance of intrinsic motivation.

This year I have no doubt that you will throw yourselves into your education, you will make the most of the canvas of opportunity that you are offered and you will paint the goals that you aspire to. I have no doubt that if you remain motivated in the classroom, then you will achieve your goals.
