STOP STARTING FIRES YOU DUMB FUCKSThe Stuyvesant Is Burning - Howard Cosell
Posted by bmg1993
As many of you may have noticed, there have been some fires in Stuy bathrooms recently.That's not cool, because now I have to walk to the second or eighth floor to take a piss.
And the those are the whackest bathrooms.
So before you just toss that joint to the ground, could we make sure it's put out first?
The good thing about this though, is that I can finally have a fire-themed party, complete with fire music. How's this for a track list:
- We Be Burnin (Legalize It) - Sean Paul
- Let It Burn - Usher
- On Fire - Lloyd Banks
- We Didn't Start The Fire - Billy Joel
- Disco Inferno - 50 Cent
- Fire Down Below - Bob Seger
- Smoke On The Water - Deep Purple
If you got ideas let me know. Also new Either/Or ideas?
Aight, I'm gunna go light up. Just kidding.
Mr. Polazzo, Harbinger of DOOM.

Hi (L)users. An article was published in The Daily News yesterday written by our very own AP Gov teacher Matt Polazzo. It details the failings of The United Federation of Teachers' contract and how it's intent to protect teachers can often lead to poorer educators remaining in the classroom.The article, which you can read here, has been met with somewhat of a comments war by teachers and students alike, some trolling, particularly on a rather harsh South Bronx School teacher's blog where he describes Mr. Polazzo as "suckling at the sphincter of administration" (which can be read here), and others defending Mr. Polazzo. I happen to agree with some of Mr. Polazzo's sentiment and rather disagree with Mr. South Bronx's desire for Mr. Polazzo to "Go slither back to the rock [he] crawled out under." thus, you all do too. Go defend our own! Comment on the article and/or blog post! Good hunting.

P.S.: A 9-part article describing the formation of the UFT contract called "Class Struggles" by Jack Schierenbeck (father of our own Wes Schierenbeck) can be read here.
P.P.S.: Some guys, like this one here, just have trouble getting their facts right. Read for your own enjoyment, but heed his unintended warning. The last thing we want to do is get Mr. Polazzo in trouble.
The Spectator
Posted by MSilverblatt
So, it has come to my attention that we've been getting some attention from the press recently.
I think the Spectator should take a course in journalistic integrity before it goes off bashing other parts of the Stuyvesant community. If any of you picked up an issue of theirs a few weeks ago, and I'm sure many of you did, you must have noticed a few errors. No, not the common punctuation or spelling errors that can be atoned for in their little "Corrections" box in the next issue. In at least one article, the first half was printed correctly...twice. I thought I had misread, as I was reading while hiding my paper (like my homosexuality) under my Physics textbook so Mr. Thomas wouldn't see. But no, they had actually printed the same thing twice in a row. Don't you guys have a whole department to prevent things like that?
And then there's the problem of printing the editor's comments IN THE ACTUAL PAPER. I mean come on! Are you really going to print out the criticisms of the article in the actual paper. It's not as if i need someone to tell me the writing sucks...
On a more personal note, I am hurt that they accused me and my fellow Stuycom brethren of having "smug personalities." Not one of us was approached for an interview for those articles. And I certainly don't know the writers well enough for them to make such a statement. I didn't know the Spectator stooped to the level of making such statements with absolutely no basis. I expected that from the Standard. And to go on to praise the Woopegsooie club is a little bit ridiculous. They don't deserve to call themselves "the pulse of the student body." Sorry, but anyone who has set foot inside this school in the past year or so can see that the only adjective to describe Woopegsooie is obnoxious.
Spectator, deal with your own problems before you bash others.

Ben1, Jackson2, and others3,Firstly, “the very small shoes of Dan?” Are you f*cking KIDDING me, Garner?! I was the clown shoes of this website4. You don’t deserve the hockey sweatshirt you bought and wear sometimes.
Secondly, WHATUP STUY? I can only imagine the school has withered into a decrepit sweatshop since I left5. Seniors, just get through these next few months, you won’t give a shit soon. Juniors, just get through this next year and half, you won’t give a shit eventually. Sophomores, you already don’t give a shit, you’ll give a shit soon, and Freshman, congratulations on successfully using the internet by yourself.
College is highly chill, I recommend it to everyone. Seniors and Juniors, you guys should really take advantage of alums and visit colleges, myself included6. So if you’re ever in the greater Philadelphia area and feel like visiting Penn, and I know you, feel free to visit.
Alright, I have some sleeping I need to do7. See you later Stuy, and bare with these new admins. They mean well.
Love8,
Jonah
Class of ‘09
1You prepubertal girl
2Nice post, Jayson Blair
3Especially you, Emma Rosenbluth
4Ronald McDonald must have been HUGE
5You guys work like you're in one, anyway. Lighten up.
6Especially you, Emma Rosenbluth
7Remember when you had time to sleep? I’m talking to you, Juniors/Seniors. Sophomores, enjoy it while you can. Freshmen, in college no one uses a night light.
8Especially you, Emma Rosenbluth

Student #1: I have all these awesome/cool/funny/erotic stuy related photos, but I have not way of sharing them to Stuyvesant community.
Student #2: If only those attractive Stuycom admins would make a gallery to post all of the awesome/cool/funny/erotic stuy related photos out there.
Random Hot Girl : Those Stuycom admins are pretty attractive.
Well look no further, Random Hot Girl, all of the Stuycom admins are available1 and ready for action2.
Less importantly, we have a Gallery now. Check it out. Don't worry about its high level of uglocity3, we're working on making it prettier. If you are like our friend Student#1, you should send over all of your cool/funny/awesome/erotic stuy related photos to photos@stuycom.net. You'll get mad street cred.
1. All of the attractive ones anyway.
2. Despite Ben's high level of prepubescentocity4.
3. Trust me, its a word.
4. But Abie's sideburns make up for it.

Also, have you ever wondered if you can name every teacher at Stuy? I haven't. But Milo made a quiz. He's quite proud of himself. TAKE IT. I didn't.
Yo! Stuy student!
Even though Dan got left back, stuycom is under new management!
Get ready for a better stuycom!
Abie Sidell, Ben Garner, Jackson Maslow, Michael Silverblatt, and occasionally Alex Genshaft (but he doesn't matter) are taking over.
