For a girl to get the same score, she has to run it in under 7 minutes and 30 seconds. Is this fair? Of 30 randomly-selected students surveyed 77…

Bison Time is a student choice program.

Sit in on a class of Mr. Anderson’s AP Physics, and you will be baffled. It breaks all the rules of a typical class.The class size consists of eight students, in a time where it is rare to find a class with less than 35. Instead of getting a grade, you choose yours. There really isn’t even a day to day agenda, the class debates mac vs. PC, and talks of non euclidean geometry while doing various…
