A lot has been happening in the Venturer Nation in the past week!
The Senate campaign is drawing to a close. The election will be held tomorrow after the 13 candidates give their speeches. Mrs. Cook and I have been impressed with the quality of each student's speech as well as the campaign posters, buttons, and slogans. The election results will be posted as soon as the officials can count the ballots. Good luck to all!
Biz World students were involved in a patent trial on Friday afternoon. Mrs. Cook's class helped serve as jurors and lawyers. Mrs. Cook was even the judge. My goal was not for you to get mad at each other, but to see how the court process works on our country. When I signed some of the patent applications in which the Biz World company ignored the ratio qualifications, I wondered if other teams would notice. I decided to sign them anyway to see what would happen. Every year there are a few companies who do not read the patent application thoroughly, but this is the first year that a company has taken others to task! We will talk about this in class on Monday.
