My high school, like any other high school in this country, has a school paper. And it sucks. It's written by people who can't string words together to make coherent sentences. The verbs don't match the subjects, and the "reporters" don't know what the word "parallelism" means.
I have always hated my high school's paper. It's trivial, it's poorly written, and it blatantly under-represents the school itself. Of course, it is standard that sports receive a great deal of attention, but why? Why is that the standard? The newspaper should take a stand against it! It should press its academic nature into sports, pressuring it out of the school. Sports have no place in schools anyway.
But the newspaper does not do that. It doesn't highlight the academic excellence of the students at the school, if any exists. It lacks, for a great part, any academic nature.
And I am unable to join the paper and fix it because of problems with my already full schedule. It isn't offered as an extra-curricular activity. And they don't care what I have to say about it, anyway. But enough is enough. The paper sucks.
Each of my Museletters shows you why. Weeks within the release of newer issues of The Legend, I'll post my criticism, accompanied by copies of articles. You don't have to read the school's articles, unless you want to horribly punish yourself. I've taken the trouble to smudge out the names of the individuals who write specific articles. And faces. To protect the minors. (None are innocent.)
If there's any problem (legality issues), feel free to contact me (link's to the side), and I'll gladly remove the offensive material. Unless your complaint is stupid.
