Today in class we went over our tests again. We did this to help the people who had retreat yesterday correct the ones they got wrong on their own tests. We went a little bit further into discussion about the essay questions today. We talked a lot about Socrates's trial and the crimes he committed today. In that we talked about how much Socrates was into democracy and that is why he choose to stay in Athens and receive his punishment instead of escaping to another city-state to avoid dying a horrible death. We also talked about globalization and how Ryan, John, and Alex are an example of interconnectedness. Mr. Schick told us that one of the teachers here at JC was one of the first people to do foreign exchange. He took students to Russia and brought some back to JC. He also said that this teacher, whose name I can not remember, saw one of the Russian students protesting on top of a tank holding a John Carroll sweatshirt on the news. I and everyone else thought this was VERY  surprising.
