On The Spot: 2010s decade reflection

Chemistry teacher Jason Taylor
"[It makes me feel] old, because I’ve seen the end of four different decades. I’m expecting a continued decline in civility, because it seems that people are just out of control. I don’t think it’s going to stop until something happens to bring everybody together again, which is usually a negative event. I do think President Trump will win one more time, and I am hoping when he leaves that...
Senior Cameron Harper
"[I feel] indifferent because the passing of time has no effect on events that occur. Im going to vote, but I also don’t like politics in general. I’m keeping tabs on it but I’m not that invested in it. I’m graduating, but I’m just moving onto the next phase of my life I guess. I’m hoping space travel takes off more especially with SpaceX so that’ll be interesting in the coming decad...

This year has been pretty interesting, can’t wait to en...

“The 2010s have been pretty interesting, you know, politically it’s been super interesting. We just got out of a recession and a huge economic decline, and that has really affected a lot of people just getting out of school and getting out of college. It’s also been huge for media, the media landscape was redesigned, the technology landscape was redesigned, seems like everything got more advanc...
Algebra and precalculus teacher Crystal Gaddie
“[I feel] honestly pretty indifferent [to 2010’s ending] I’ve been through quite a few of them. I’m excited to stop paying for my car and child care because I’ll have both of my kids in school. We have a presidential election so that will be pretty interesting to see if things change. [I’m looking forward to] some new inventions, maybe a cure for cancer because I know they are very close to f...
