I know I can speak on behalf of many s...

October 24, 2016
Filed under Editorials, Opinion
Roseville High School administration is taking steps to increase campus cultural sensitivity. This comes on the heels of similar efforts launched by the district last year. The need for further work at RHS is a telltale sign that the initial effort failed. The workshops emerged last year after a racist...

LITTLEJOHN: Prior work shouldn’t influence future grades
October 10, 2016
Filed under Opinion
I have seen many times that teachers will grade students’ work based on what they have done in the past.

I have few problems with Roseville High School, but recently some of these few came to my attention and, simply put, make me mad: collective punishment, and group projects with apathetic people.
