Greece Democracy

Today in class we took notes on Greeces democracy

-citizens could participate, but only one-fifth of Athenians were citizens

-after several years, Athens practiced a direct democracy

 -it’s where the state is ruled by its citizens

 -rule is based on citizenship

-majority rule decides vote

-They then voted with white stones (yes) / black stones (no)

-it was first practiced in Athens under Cleisthenes by around 500 BCE
In class we read pages 134-142 and took notes about the democracy because Mr. Schick was not in class so we couldn't actually look more at the powerpoint. We also went over the test and I didn't do as good on it as I hoped too. But we went over it and I got all the right answers so I can study from it for the midterms.

Accountability

Cyber School is definitely a huge change in all of our lives especially because I have never been homeschooled in my life. I have never had to experience something like this. It almost feels unreal. Cyber school in my opinion is a lot harder than live school. Math is really hard to keep up with because we can't really have a one on one conversation with our teachers if we have questions. All the teachers really can't give that much work because it should only take us 55 minutes to complete. I feel bad for all of the seniors because they might not have their senior prom which is really sad because that is what you usually look forward too. It is also hard for all the teachers to really teach a lesson and it's harder for me to pay attention because there are so many distractions around.
