More eco-friendly energy sources at ISM! – By Naomi Fuchs-Nebel

 In a few years, the water level in our ocean will have risen by one meter. This is an alarming number, because in the future, cities located near the sea could possibly be completely submerged. However, we all have the power to stop global warming. (more…)

American Football at Lunchtime – By Simon Hartvig

 Don’t you think that school lunchtime is incredibly boring now that we aren’t allowed to play American football? About a month after we started to play the MS office said that it was too dangerous and someone might get hurt, so they told us that we were not allowed to play anymore, but I think that was a bad decision.

Should animal testing be continued? – By Sera Yun

 I have personally been interested in the opinions surrounding animal testing since childhood when I learned about many medical discoveries that received permission from the World Health Organization (WHO) after ensuring safety through animal testing.  I’ve often noticed that the animals being experimented on were usually white mice, and thought it very pitiful and unnecessary to use animals towards medical purposes. However, as I grew up, my opinion about animal testing gradually altered. (more…)

Simplicity or Style? – By Regina Limcaoco

 Kids dressed in plaid skirts, white polo shirts with knee socks and neck-ties-and if they’re not in a plaid skirt, they’re guys in khaki.-that’s typically what people think of when you say the words “private school”. Everyone at ISM thinks that we shouldn’t have uniforms, but not a lot of them even know why they don’t want uniforms. (more…)

Having Guitar as an MS Band Instrument – By Patxi Elizalde

 How would it feel if you are a guitarist and you can shred the guitar at home but not be able to at school? In reality, the Middle School (MS) Band program probably has too many instruments already, which won’t help the idea of adding guitar. In my point of view, I think that the guitar is very important because many people in our school play it, which makes an even bigger reason for middle school to have guitar. (more…)

A Longer Break and Lunch: the First Step to Paradise – By Myung-In Sohn

 Have you ever had a time when you didn’t have enough time to eat your snack or when you were late for class because you had to finish your lunch? I think that our lunch and break are too short and I strongly believe that they should be extended! With a longer lunch and break, there will be many advantages that you may not have thought of before! (more…)

School Starts Too Early – by Mike Rynn

 Man! I hate waking up every morning at 6:45am, and just to get to school! I think that school at ISM starts way too early. Where I used to live, middle school would start at 9:30am! The faculty and staff think it’s the perfect time for us to be yanked from our beds, and tossed into our little kid jail known as school. I think that we should move the time that school start to 9:30am, or at least 9:00am. (more…)

Rethink War – by Metav Djemal

 When you come from a country where once a war ends, another one starts again; you begin to wonder if this is how it’s always going to be. In Israel, after gaining nationhood, in 1948 it was once again attacked by the many neighboring countries surrounding it, due to the refusal of these countries to recognize Israel’s existence.  Since then, there have been a lot of conflicts with the same countries. I think it’s a stupid way to see who gets what, but others may think different. (more…)
