Hallway talk, or what do Shalhevet students really talk about?

When walking through the halls of Shalhevet whether between classes or during lunch you will hear the students and teachers talking to one another. The normal topics of discussion are homework, tests, food, quizzes, crushes, clothes, music, nuclear proliferation, friends, and teachers.
Wait — nuclear proliferation?
Yes, you read right. Last week the Model Congress and Model United Nations teams were having tryouts. The topic up for debate was nuclear proliferation, an interesting subject to be hearing while eating.
We discussed whether or not all countries should be allowed to have nuclear 2013/27773/ giochi casino /SCO del 14 ottobre 2013 – Revoca della convenzione di concessione n. power. Some said yes, everyone should have the chance to have this outstanding power source. Others believed that countries should not be allowed this potentially world-devastating weapon.
Even one week later you can still hear the remnants of this topic in the halls. For instance, today in Mr. Frankel’s class we were learning about the epic nuclear accident right here in Simi Valley in 1959 and its effect on the population in the present day.
All in all, tryouts were a huge success. I was one of 53 students to try out for these extraordinary teams. Unfortunately I didn’t make the cut but I hope to try again next year.
So the next time you are walking through the halls, listen in. You might learn something, whether it be the principal’s favorite color or why Israel is not part of the NPT (nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty).
