  • Teacher Spotlight: Mr. Blocker | TLFP

    Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Teacher Spotlight: Mr. Blocker Dajah Taylor Dec 2, 2024 Mr.Blocker was selected as the teacher of the week for his “clear communication with parents and students” as expressed by Liberty Magnet Principal, Mr.Watson. Mr.Blocker was selected as the teacher of the week for his “clear communication with parents and students”[sic] as expressed by Liberty Magnet Principal, Mr.Watson. Mr.Blocker predominantly teaches English 3 literature and English lll/IV Dual enrollment to juniors. Interview: Dajah: What inspired you to become a teacher? Mr. Blocker: Just an interest in it. Always thought it had potentially to be a good fit for me. I enjoy the content too, like literature. It was a combination of playing into the strengths I had and curiosity about how it would work out. Dajah: What's the most rewarding moment you experienced as a teacher? Mr.Blocker: It's hard to pick a singular moment but generally those lesson plans that resonate and hit how they are supposed to hit. Where you have the students genuinely interested in what you’re teaching and at the end of it understanding what you taught. That is a very rewarding experience. A class that goes well and the students did actually grow and learn by the end of it. Dajah: What do you hope students take away from your class? Mr.Blocker: The power of language and power of their language specifically. The impact word choices can have. And a better appreciation of both the utility and culture that is around the English language. Dajah: Did you always know you wanted to teach English and the eleventh grade? Mr.Blocker: Specifically juniors no but english yes. English was always my strongest subject. Typically my favorite subject in school and I always liked the aspect of breaking down stories, speech, and language and seeing how it works. Dajah: How do you collaborate with other teachers to enhance your lesson plans Mr. Blocker: I frequently ask for input assistance from other teachers. Especially borrowing from them if there is material they have used or if there is a lesson or activity that they have done that worked out from them it's always great when you have access to it. Whether it's borrowing material, lesson plans, or them showing me new applications I can use for my lessons. Dajah: How do you feel about being selected as the teacher of the week? Blocker: I am flattered to be chosen as the Shining Star of the week. It was unexpected, and to be honest I don't quite know what to do with the attention. But it is nice to know that my work is appreciated. Once again congratulations to Mr.Blocker for being LMHS teacher spotlight of the week December 2-6. comments debug Comments Write a comment Write a comment Share Your Thoughts Be the first to write a comment.

  • Is AI Causing More Good Than Harm? | TLFP

    Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Is AI Causing More Good Than Harm? Lauren Hicks Feb 26, 2026 Because AI is becoming more common, many people are starting to question whether it is helping society or creating new problems. Artificial intelligence has become a major part of everyday life and continues to grow quickly each year. It is used in phones, schools, hospitals, stores and even social media apps that people use daily. Some feel excited about the possibilities, while others worry about the risks. The truth is that AI brings both benefits and challenges, which is why it is important to understand both sides before deciding whether it is causing more good than harm. One major benefit of AI is that it makes work faster and more efficient across many industries. AI can analyze large amounts of information much more quickly than humans, helping businesses make smarter decisions and solve problems faster. In health care, AI can help doctors detect diseases earlier, analyze medical scans and support research for new treatments. These improvements can save time, reduce costs and even save lives in serious situations. AI also helps with everyday tasks like navigation, customer service and online shopping, making daily life more convenient. AI has also made learning and creativity more accessible to students and creators around the world. Students can use AI tools to explain difficult topics in simple ways, translate languages and get help studying at any time. This can make education more accessible to people who may not have access to tutors or additional support. In creative fields, AI can help artists, writers and designers brainstorm ideas and work more efficiently. Many people now use AI as a tool to support their creativity rather than replace it. Even with these benefits, there are serious concerns that cannot be ignored. Some people worry about job loss because AI can perform tasks that humans used to do, especially in roles involving repetitive work. There is also the issue of misinformation, as AI can generate realistic text, images and videos that may not be accurate. This can make it harder for people to determine what information they can trust online. Privacy is another concern, since AI systems often collect and use large amounts of personal data, raising questions about how that information is stored and protected. Overall, AI appears to be doing more good than harm, but only if it is used responsibly and supported by strong regulations. Like many technologies in the past, AI can be helpful or harmful depending on how it is used. If society focuses on using AI to support people rather than replace them, it has the potential to improve education, health care and everyday life. With careful planning and responsible use, AI could play an important role in shaping a better future. comments debug Comments Write a comment Write a comment Share Your Thoughts Be the first to write a comment.

  • Celebrating Zulu in the Heart of Mardi Gras | TLFP

    Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Celebrating Zulu in the Heart of Mardi Gras Chante Howard Feb 20, 2026 Have you ever been to a parade so amazing it gives people chills? Zulu is a historic and vibrant celebration that has been a staple of New Orleans’ Mardi Gras festivities since 1909. The parade features iconic floats, marching bands — mostly from HBCUs — and, most famously, the prized Zulu coconuts. The coconuts are hand-painted and decorated, and not everyone who attends the parade is lucky enough to receive one. Zulu began because the organization behind the parade was founded by African American men who wanted to create their own unique Mardi Gras tradition. To this day, the Zulu parade remains a testament to New Orleans’ rich cultural heritage and strong sense of community spirit. I asked Kaiden how he felt about the Zulu parade, and he said, “I really like the Zulu parade even though I have never been. I’ve mainly seen it on social media, especially TikTok, and it seems fun. Hopefully, I’ll be able to go in 2027 because it truly seems like a good time.” comments debug Comments Write a comment Write a comment Share Your Thoughts Be the first to write a comment.

  • OPINION: I’m Tired of Hearing About Hailey VS Selena | TLFP

    Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link OPINION: I’m Tired of Hearing About Hailey VS Selena Brooklyn Patterson Apr 8, 2025 Both the individuals are married and happy. I’m tired of hearing about Hailey vs. Selena. Both the individuals are married and happy. Fans put it into perspective that Hailey is trying to be like Selena Gomez and somehow put them into competition with each other. This all started when Hailey Bieber got with Justin, from the beginning she’s always had a crush on him. There is no actual evidence or even proof that the two hate each other because of Justin Bieber or for any reason at all. This all came because fans made it up in their own heads that the things they were posting were targeted towards the other. Hailey herself said that any issues that they have had with each other was resolved. Selena even posted a post of them together. For some reason even through the denial of beef, fans still seem to think there is some kind of love triangle going on between Selena Gomez, Hailey Bieber, and Justin Bieber. comments debug Comments Write a comment Write a comment Share Your Thoughts Be the first to write a comment.

  • The Origins of Valentine’s Day | TLFP

    Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link The Origins of Valentine’s Day Lauren Hicks Feb 12, 2026 Valentine’s Day is celebrated every year on Feb. 14. Today, people think of it as a day for love, candy, flowers and cards. However, the holiday has a long and interesting history that goes back to ancient times. One of the earliest connections to Valentine’s Day is a Roman festival called Lupercalia. This festival was held in mid-February and was meant to celebrate fertility and the arrival of spring. The Romans believed the festival would bring health and good luck. Later, as Christianity became more widespread, church leaders may have replaced this festival with a Christian holiday. Valentine’s Day is also connected to St. Valentine. According to one legend, he was a priest who lived during the rule of Claudius II. The emperor believed single men made better soldiers than married men, so he banned young men from marrying. Valentine secretly performed weddings anyway because he believed in love and marriage. When the emperor found out, Valentine was arrested and later executed on Feb. 14. Because of this story, he became known as a symbol of love and devotion. During the Middle Ages, people in Europe believed that birds began choosing their mates in February. A well-known writer, Geoffrey Chaucer, wrote poems that connected Valentine’s Day with romance. His writing helped people begin to see the day as a time for love. Over time, people began exchanging handwritten love notes. By the 1800s, printed Valentine’s Day cards became popular in the United States and Europe. Today, people celebrate by giving cards, chocolates and flowers to show they care about someone. In conclusion, Valentine’s Day did not begin as a holiday about candy and hearts. It started with ancient Roman traditions and the story of a Christian martyr. Over time, it evolved into the holiday we know today. comments debug Comments Write a comment Write a comment Share Your Thoughts Be the first to write a comment.

  • The Allure of Kim Soo Hyun Dramas: A Reflection on Society's Challenges | TLFP

    Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link The Allure of Kim Soo Hyun Dramas: A Reflection on Society's Challenges Courtney Prentiss Mar 25, 2025 As we indulge in the escapism his dramas provide, it is essential to also reflect on some pressing societal issues that are less glamorous but equally significant. Kim Soo Hyun is a name synonymous with captivating storytelling and exceptional acting in the world of Korean dramas. His ability to bring complex characters to life has won him a vast and dedicated fanbase. However, as we indulge in the escapism his dramas provide, it is essential to also reflect on some pressing societal issues that are less glamorous but equally significant. The Rise of Child Predators: A Societal Concern In recent years, there has been growing concern over the rise of child predators, an issue that has been exacerbated by the digital age. With more children spending time online, they are exposed to risks that previous generations could not have imagined. The anonymity and reach of the internet have made it easier for predators to target vulnerable individuals. This is a grave matter that requires collective vigilance and proactive measures to combat. The Role of Media and Perceptions of Childhood An often-discussed topic in this context is the way children are portrayed in media and the clothes they wear. There is a blurred line between childhood innocence and adult fashion that some argue contributes to the issue. Children dressing in ways deemed "grown-up" can sometimes attract unwanted attention and lead to misconceptions about their maturity and availability. While fashion is a form of self-expression and children should have the freedom to explore their identities, it is crucial for parents and guardians to guide them in understanding the implications of their choices. The focus should be on age-appropriate attire that allows children to be children while still expressing their unique personalities. The Impact of Celebrity Influence Celebrities like Kim Soo Hyun often become role models, and their influence can extend beyond their on-screen performances. While they may not directly contribute to societal issues like the rise of child predators, their prominence in media highlights the importance of responsible storytelling. Dramas and movies can either reinforce negative stereotypes or challenge them, offering a platform to educate and raise awareness. A Call to Action As fans of Kim Soo Hyun's dramas or any media, we can appreciate the art while also engaging in meaningful conversations about the issues it may inadvertently highlight. We should advocate for safer online environments, support educational programs on digital literacy, and encourage media producers to portray children responsibly. In conclusion, while we enjoy the allure of captivating dramas, let us not forget our responsibility to address and discuss societal challenges. Through awareness, education, and community effort, we can work towards a safer and more understanding environment for all, particularly the younger generations who are most vulnerable. comments debug Comments Write a comment Write a comment Share Your Thoughts Be the first to write a comment.
