Kaya Romeo In previous years, Mathtastic Morning was a little bit of a free for all; you were instructed to go to the activities you want, but nothing was super rigid. This year, however, Mathtastic Morning involved pre-registration and a lot of confusion, which may be a commonplace thing for you when dealing with math. I never received the registration email and therefore was placed in Bridge. While Bridge is a very interesting card game, I personally hate card games so the Mathtastic Morning began on a sour note. I understand that there was pre-registration this year because students last year just plain didn’t attend any of the events, but for me at least, it just ended up feeling like a couple of people spoiling something for everybody. Now with all options for how to spend my Morning, I often forget that people actually take the AMC. Senior Julianna Jarik, who has taken the AMC every year, says: “It’s a really hard test, but I would personally rather do that than worry about being placed in any of the activities.” With LINGUAPALOOZA coming up soon, Senior Laura Barker mused that: “Since we have Mathtastic Morning, LitFest and LINGUAPALOOZA, we should have something like that for all subjects.” What do you say, yay or nay to Mathtastic Morning? Should Linguapalooza be part of the school day (do we really want to come early?)? How come math gets a full, special schedule morning, while language and literature are confined to mornings, flex blocks, and after school?]]>
