A-B schedule gets mixed reviewsby Hannah Brosius

Around 4 o’clock in theafternoon, Brady Williams, asenior, gets home from schooland has the choice of eitherdoing his homework or watch-ing his favorite TV shows –Oprah and Dr. Phil. Heweighs his options and choos-es to watch TV since heknows his homework is notdue until the day after tomor-row.

Williams is one studentwho now believes that classeshave been easier because ofthe new A-B block schedule.

“The days go by faster andyou have two days to finishhomework,” Williams said.

Even though some studentslike this year’s schedule,administrators say the sched-

ule could change next year.“Instead of Mondays

switching between A days andB days, there would be no setdate,” DeBusk said. “Forexample, if Monday was an Aday, then Tuesday would be aB day.”

Students such as AprilCruse, a sophomore, like thevariety the A-B block sched-ule offers.

“I like that the teachers aredifferent each day,” Crusesaid. “You are not just seeingthe same ones every day. Youwill not get bored with thisschedule.”

The current version of theA-B block schedule does haveits drawbacks, administratorssay.

“When we have been outon Mondays we get messed

up,” Robin DeBusk, an assis-tant principal of instruction,said. “There were not enoughA and B days for the year.”

There is also the questionwhether grades will be betteror worse than last yearbecause of the new schedule.

“I think grades will proba-bly be worse than they werelast year,” DeBusk said.“There’s more work with thisschedule since we now haveeight classes.”

There may be other ways toimprove students grades.

“I think the best way toimprove grades though wouldprobably to have examsbefore Christmas.” DeBusksaid. “Some students are notgoing to remember the thingsthey learned before thebreak.” Photo by Anna Boyter

History of the “Enterprise”Captain Henry Miller Shreve, steamboat pilot of the

1800’s and namesake of our high school, is famous for hisefforts in opening the inland waterways of America. Not sofamous, however, is Shreve’s first steamboat, the“Enterprise,” and its role in American history.

Wary of the Fulton-Livingston monopoly over trade onthe Mississippi River, Shreve realized the necessity ofbuilding a superior steam vessel. As a result, Shreve formeda partnership with entrepreneur Daniel French to designsuch a boat. The result of their work was the steamboat“Enterprise.” On Dec. 1, 1814, she left on her maiden voy-age with 29-year-old Shreve as her captain.

This first voyage was no leisurely trip. A precious cargoof munitions and supplies was desperately needed byGeneral Andrew Jackson’s troops in New Orleans. The longtrip down the Mississippi River was a success, and, withintwo weeks, the cargo was safely delivered to Jackson’scamp. Shreve’s fearless attitude and the dependability ofthe “Enterprise” were crucial factors in the victory over theBritish at the Battle of New Orleans in the War of 1812.

Now, as the student newspaper of Captain Shreve HighSchool, The Enterprise strives to emulate the fearlessnessand dependability of Shreve and his ship in reporting thenews important to you, the students of Captain Shreve.

Some students should begiven the option to leave early

There are many students whogo into their senior year and onlyneed to take a few classes to getall of the credits required to grad-uate. When this happens, someschools in other areas allow stu-dents to only take the classes theyneed and then leave school early.At Captain Shreve, though, stu-dents are required to attendschool all day even if they onlyneed to take a class or two tograduate.

Students sometimes will takeextra classes over the summer orattend night school to get ahead.When students do this, though, itmay seem pointless. Students willstill have to be at school all dayeven though they took extraclasses just so they could get outof school early.

There are also good reasons

why students would want to onlyhave one or two classes for theirsenior year. The classes they dotake their senior year could beAP. Since students would get toleave early, they would also havemore time to study. They wouldbe able to focus better and getbetter grades than they wouldhave if they had taken more class-es.

Sometimes students also havetrouble concentrating on schoollater in the day if they are takingall honors or AP classes. Aftergetting all of their homeworkdone for their few classes, theymay be able to get more hours ofsleep than they would have other-wise.

Students would also not be indanger of failing any of the class-es and having their GPA go down.

Some students only take certainclasses because they think it willbe easy. It is not until they are inthe class that they realize it is a lotharder than they had first thought.

Since students could leaveearly, they may also be able to geta job. They would be able to savemore money for college by work-ing more hours. Right now, stu-dents may have a hard time keep-ing a job when they only havelimited hours to work because ofwhen school lets out and the factthat students still have to studyand do homework when they gethome.

If students had the opportunityto leave school early, they wouldhave more time to get all of theirhomework done, work some-where, and get more sleep so theymight do better.

High school soccer inLouisiana needs to be movedto a different season for manyreasons.

As it stands now, Shreve'ssoccer season begins in lateNov. and ends in late Jan.which includes the coldestmonth of the year.

Northern Louisiana doesnot have a large fan base forthe sport we call soccer in thefirst place. However, havingsoccer during Dec. and Jan.with temperatures frequentlydropping below freezing, doesnothing to help the small fanbase. The average low temper-atures for Dec. and Jan. are 35and 33 degrees Fahrenheitrespectively.

I have personally been tofour Captain Shreve soccergames this year. All fourgames were after sun down,and needless to say, it waschilly and occasionallystormy.

The observers in the standshave a hard enough time keep-ing warm, however, it is noth-ing compared to what the play-ers have to endure. Shreve’ssoccer players are down on thefield for 80 minutes, wearing athin uniform and nothing tocover their head. To go alongwith having nothing warm towear, they have to be on thefield, where the wind is at itsmax and the ground is dampand nearly frozen.

Not only is the weatheruncomfortable to the fanswatching and the players play-ing, it also causes colds,headaches, and runny noses. In

fact, players and dedicatedfans have begun bringing per-sonal heaters to the games.

Not many people like highschool soccer enough to buyexpensive heaters and endurethe consequences of gettingsick.

If the soccer season wasmoved ahead by about fourmonths, none of these would

be problems. Meaning the sea-son would begin in late Marchand end in late May. The stu-dents at Shreve would nothave to take time out of theirSummer vacation, and no onewould have to bear the uglyweather Winter brings.

Sure it still can get cool inMarch, but not nearly as mis-erable as it can in the Winter.

The average lows forMarch, April, and May are 44,51, and 61 degrees Fahrenheitrespectively. To furtherexplain my point, these threeSpring months average lessrain than Dec. and Jan. mean-ing less muddy games andmore fans in the stands. Noone likes to go to a rainygame.

Why move the soccer sea-son ahead a few months andnot back a few months?Because the fan base wouldbenefit most if it was duringthe Spring due to the fact thatfootball dominates the fall.

Moving the soccer seasonwould benefit everyone in theend, including the income andthe fan base.

Home-schooling benefits studentsAllows students to learn at own paceby Hannah Brosius

Six states. Nine schools.Countless teachers, friendsand churches. I have alwayshad to adapt to new settingsbecause my dad is in the AirForce.

Since I moved so manytimes, keeping pace withother students in my class wassometimes difficult.

During my fourth-grade ofelementary school, I was liv-ing in Colorado Springs,Colo., and was trying any-thing that would help mecatch up in school. I triedflash card memorization,studying all day and privatetutoring.

When nothing was helpingme, my mom decided tohome-school me for my fifth-grade year. She even startedme out with a fourth-grademath textbook because sheknew how behind I was inschool. It didn’t take long,though, before I moved up toa fifth-grade math textbook,got better grades than I did in

public school and had a lowerstress level. There was nomore worrying about what towear, getting all my home-work done in time and study-ing for three or four tests thenext day.

I got up around 8 o’clockevery morning and started onwhatever my mom hadplanned for me that day. Iw o u l deven bedone withall of mywork by 11or 12o ’ c l o c kmost of thetime. Inp u b l i cschool, thet e a c h e r ssometimeshad to goover thingsagain and again for everyoneto understand, but when I washome-schooled, I was the onlystudent in the room so I couldgo at my own pace.

The lessons my mom

taught me were not easy,though. She still gave mesome tests that I had to studyfor and assigned grades formy work. But just because Ihad that one-on-one help onall the subjects, everythingbegan to become easy for meand I was not stressed abouttests anymore.

I went back to publicschool formy sixth-grade ofm i d d l es c h o o l .The schoolI went towas notthat greatof a schooland wasvery over-c r o w d e d ,so my momh o m e -

schooled me again for myseventh grade. When I startedseventh grade I was caught upto were I should have been, sothat year was a lot easier thanmy fifth-grade year had been.

Before my eighth-gradeyear, I moved here. My momgave me the choice of whetheror not I wanted to be home-schooled again that year, and Ichose to go to public school. Ibegan to see that I was aheadof everyone else in my class-es, and even now a lot ofinformation comes easier tome then it did when I wasstarting middle school. I thinkit was because I had that one-on-one help during my sev-enth-grade year.

Studies have shown thatstudents who are home-schooled get higher ACTscores than students in publicschools. According to a 2009survey by the Home SchoolLegal Defense Association,home-schooled studentsscored an average 40 pointsabove the national average onstanderized achievement tests.There are around 2 millionstudents who are being home-schooled now.

Some colleges now havescholarships for home-schooled students.

LeTourneau University, inLongview, Texas, has estab-lished a $5 million scholar-ship endowment just forhome-schooled studentsbecause of how much higherhome-schooled students arescoring on tests.

Students who are now inpublic schools may do betterif the schools try to make stu-dents feel more comfortablelike other students who arehome-schooled. Maybe class-es should be smaller and thereshould be more one-on-onetime for students and teach-ers.

Teachers may have to startout teaching slow to get somestudents caught up, but if stu-dents knew everyone in theclassroom they may feel morecomfortable asking questions.I believe they would be ableto go through lessons faster.

It may not be an option foreveryone to be home-schooled, but since I havebeen able to experience both Ibelieve I had many advan-tages going into high school.

Poor economy makes life harder

by Abbie Tuggle

Going to college is one of thebiggest goals for many people,but paying for it is the numberone challenge they face.Scholarships, financial aid, andstudent loans are the most popu-lar means of paying for a second-ary education.

The cost of college hasincreased a total of 20% over thepast four years. In 208, theincoming college freshmancould expect to pay an averageon $6,015 for tuition, board, andsupplies. This year, students willbe forced to pay $7,605 for afour-year college.

Scholarships are the mostsought after way of paying forcollege. It is possible to receivethem through academics, sports,and other related activities.While some pay for the full ride

to college, some only pay a por-tion of the tuition.

An excellent web site toreceive information on payingfor college is Scholarships. com.It has many links to data on freescholarships, financial aid, andother news that might be helpfulto get money for college.

A few things to jump startyour college fund is create amonthly plan to budget yourmoney, start saving early, andlook for a 529 plan. The 529 planis named after section 529 of theInternal Revenue Code. It isdesigned to encourage people toset aside money for college andto save money through specialtax benefits.

While many students are wor-rying about college in their earlyhigh school years, some are notpressuring themselves wit it.

I’m not really worried about

college,” remarked sophomoreNick Chernis. “I mean, I’m try-ing to keep good grades and all,but I’m only a sophomore. I stillhave some time to think aboutit.”

Many are preparing for theiradventure into college by gettingall the information on paying forit as possible.

“Paying for college?” saidjunior Jasmine Brown. “That’shard. Well, I’m going to applyfor all the scholarships I can, andhopefully those will pay my waythrough college. If not, I canalways look for financial aid ortake out student loans.”

The best thing for students todo in their high school years is togather any and all informationfor paying for college beforethey run out of time.

“A lot of students wait untiltheir junior or senior year to get

info on scholarships.” said seniorcounselor Mrs. Day. “By then,it’s almost too late. I suggest stu-dents to start collecting info onscholarships their freshman year.That way, they can get the neces-sary grades and test scores theyneed to apply for the college theywant to attend.”

College becoming more expensive

by Taylor Williams

The unemployment rate is9.5% nationwide. In the terribleeconomy that is among us,almost everyone is affected in agood or bad way. Financialproblems are occurred in manylives and has caused so manydrastic changes based on stableand unstable jobs.

The unemployment rate ishigher now than ever before andit just doesn't seem like anyoneis ever hiring anymore. Thereare various jobs that are in-demand. The most importantones are technology, sales/mar-keting, and medical and coding.

Technology is the leadingthing in society today.Technology will continue toimprove, so this provides jobseekers with an opportunity thatwill allow them to become moreadvanced and excel in theirfield. Software engineering,software designing, network andsystem administrators, graphicdesigning, and more. Any jobwith wide variety of technology

is a stable job. Apple is one ofthe most largest, technology pro-ducing companies and aemployee of Apple said, "tech-nology is one of the biggestthings in our lives, it will be thefuture, and computers are need-ed the most in the technologysociety, Jamil, Apple techniciansaid.

There are many unemploy-ment offices and other places tohelp people find jobs. The place-ment specialists at GoodwillIndustries play a big role inhelping disabled people findjobs.

It is hard for the disabled peo-ple to find a job because of theirconditions. With the tight econo-my, there aren't many jobs. Tothink there are a lot of options,there really isn't because of thedisadvantages of the economy,îSharron Jarmon, placement spe-cialist said.

Sales and Marketing jobshave a huge effect on the peopleand economy. Thousands ofcompanies have closed down inthe past 5-8 years due to fatal

declines in sales and businesses.This area of business is closelypaid attention to by owners.Owners want their businesses tothrive so they make sure theproduct is meeting everyone'sneed/want. Owners also want tomake sure their product is beingadvertised and need someone tohelp customers become buyers.Basically these are jobs that willnever disappear. Jobs in thisfield are very stable.

You must be 18 years orolder, have some type of salesbackground, and learn how tomeet and greet the customers tomeet the jobs qualifications. Ifyou don't have experience,AT&T will send you off to betrained, so basically we sendyou to school. Our goal is tomeet every customers need andto get them to come back,îMichael Stewart, AT&T salesrepresentative said.

Medical and coding is a verystable job. Medical Coders workin the business side of the med-ical field ensuring that health-care providers get paid. The

training required is anAssociate’s Degree in HealthInformation Technology. Themedan wage is $30,000. “Thisjob requires a high school grad-uate with successful completionof Medical Terminology andAnatomy and Physiology. Itrequires you to have the abilityto operate and use IDC-9CMand CPT coding. It’s hard to findwork in this field because itscompletive and there aren't a lotof jobs doing medical billingand coding,” Courtney Wilson,RHIA, RHIT from ChristusSchumpert said.

With three months remaininguntil Cici Criswell, a senior, grad-uates from high school, she has

not yet filled out any collegeapplications, visited any campus-es or written any entrance essays.

While other seniors might bepanicking, Criswell is not.Instead, she knows her future iscertain.

Criswell is one of a growingnumber of students who willenter the military after highschool.

“There are lots of thing themilitary pays for,” Criswell said.“Your clothes, food, and homeare some of them.”

There are also many otherbenefits of going into the militarybesides the money.

“There are just so manyopportunities,” Bacon said.

“Going into the military mightappeal to the students who do notwant to go to college or can’t payfor college.”

You would also not have topay for medical care.

“You would get 100 percentmedical benefits,” KatyMcDonald, an Air Forcerecruiter, said. “Family memberswould also get medical care.”

There are many different kindsof jobs in the military as well.

“If you don’t want to fightthere are desk jobs or UAVpilots,” Justin Toney, a sopho-more, said. “They pay well.”

Many students like Criswellmay just want the experiences themilitary gives them.

“I want to learn new lan-guages and get stationed in differ-ent places,” Criswell said.

Students would not have toworry about how long they wouldbe in for either.

“You can join for either four orsix years,” Criswell said.“Depending on the job, youmight even get a sign-on-bonus.”

Since there are so many bene-fits, many other students have thesame idea.

“I’m planning on joining themilitary after I get out of highschool,” Toney said. “The mili-tary will pay for college and theywill give you leadership skills. Ialso want to fight for my coun-try.”

Jobs becoming more competitive

The recession has longaffected the economy. It hashad more of an effect onpeople attending college.The price of tuition forschooling has increasedsince the recession hasstarted. Tuition for a fouryear college can range froman average of $7,605 to$11,990. Sixty-eight per-cent of families do not savefor college because theycannot afford to.

"I've been saving upsince he was a baby," MarieVaughn, a parent of ateenager, said. "It's hardsince I'm an only parent butI want my son to get a goodeducation."

In 2010 70% of highschool graduates went tocollege. College is benefi-cial if one wishes to make agood salary. Due to therecession college tuitionhas gone up. As of 2010 theaverage tuition to attend apublic 4-year in-state col-lege is $7,605 per yearwhereas a public out-of-state college on average is$11,990 a year. Averagetuition for a communitycollege is $2,544 a year.Trade school tuition is aver-ages $345 to $575 a year.Students these days go tocollege on scholarships.

"I'm going college in-

state for TOPS," JonSoenksen, a senior, said. "Idon't think my family couldafford to send me to col-lege. I already have siblingsmy parents are puttingthrough college."

Jon is not the only stu-dent going for a scholar-ship.

"I plan to stay in-statefor college," JackieAtterridge, a senior, said."I'm only staying for TOPS.If TOPS is available whynot use it?"

These students plan ongoing to four year college.Four year college graduatescan earn on average$46,000 a year according toa survey released in 2011by SimplyHired, Inc.

The recession was said tostart in 2007. Before thencollege prices were not ashigh and college graduateswere not in such debt.

"I'm glad I'm not a col-lege student today," TerryRandle, 2005 college grad-uate, said. "I know so manypeople in college right nowwho are complaining aboutdebt already. I think they'reway too young and juststarting out to be worriedabout debt."

With the recession say-ing to be over maybe pricesof college and otherexpenses will slowlyshrink.

Blockbusters around the areahave been closing and peopleneed new ways to rent movies.

These days movies are themain source of entertainment forpeople of all age groups. Thereare many ways to rent or buymovies. There are Blockbuster,Netflix, and Red Box.

Most people like to chooseNetflix because of the easyonline access and the wide selec-tion.

“Yeah, I’ve rented video fromBlockbuster,” BrittanySturdivant, a junior, said. “But itthere isn't going to be anyBlockbusters around I guess I’llgo to Netflix.”

Students seem to preferNetflix.

“I use Netflix,” ZariousDixon, a sophomore, said. “It’seasier so you can use the inter-net.”

Some choose Red Box

because renting a movie ischeap. But Red Box doesn't havea wide selection.

“Red Box kind of sucks,”Sturdivant said.

Blockbusters around thecountry have been closing acrossthe country due to net loss. InShreveport, however,Blockbusters have been closingdown one by one over the yearsbecause people choose not torenew their leases.

“People still like to come toBlockbuster,” Isha Giles, a man-ager of the Blockbuster inBossier, said. “They like to lookaround to read and see whatthey’re getting before they rent.”

Customers agree. “I like to browse,” Katie

Nixon, a Blockbuster customer,said. “But if I’m in a hurry forsome reason I will use Red Box.”

Some still think that the popu-larity of Netflix and Red Box arethe reason that Blockbusters aregoing unnoticed these days.

“I prefer Red Box becausethey have all the new movies,”Amelia Jordan, a Red Box cus-

tomer, said. Blockbuster is preferred by

the old-fashioned movie renter.You can browse, from a collec-tion of new and old movies.Blockbusters also offers videogames.

And like Netflix,Blockbusters is offered onlinefor the convenience of their cos-tumers.

“I think Blockbuster is theonly way to go,” Devon R., a

blockbuster custom, said. “Icome here for movies but today Icame here for video games.There are good prices and theyhave whatever I’m looking for.”

There is also the option ofgoing online, though this is notlegal. There are many websitesavailable to watch full-lengthmovies for free.

“I think there’ll be more ille-gal downloads now more thanever,” Sturdivant said.
