Back to Basics Huffman High has gone “back to the basics” of “readin ” “ritin ” and “ ’rithmatic,” not to mention spelling, history, science, and the etiquette of good manners. Thinking that basics are for second and third graders only is a big mistake. Kindergartners through Seniors benefit from learning them. If you haven’t noticed the change, then you must be a Freshman and have been hiding in your locker for the past eight months. On the other hand, maybe you are the epitome of a mathematician, historian, scientist, linguist or, of course, the perfect lady or gentleman, in which case you don’t need to learn the basics anyway. The method by which most teachers have brought back the “basics” has had quite an effect. Students no longer just receive a little sp above a misspelled word or wwc for wrong word choice; instead, the entire answer is wrong. Five or six of those little sp’s, plus another two or three wwc’s, added to a few incomplete sentences equals another flagged test. When basics are enforced, students study more, which in turn improves their grades. 4
Basic manners and respect are a must, as they should be. A smart mouth will gain nothing except a quick trip to the advisor’s office, or a prominent spot on a teacher’s black list. The “basics are here to stay and with good reason. Our vocabulary has been intentionally broadened, but there are still those basic words which can only be defined through the eyes of a student. They comprise a student’s “basic language which can never be taken away or corrected. To aid those who are bewildered by the speech of today’s Huffman students, the following glossary was created. It contains a list of defined terms used daily in the halls of Huffman High. It is not intended to be Webster's dictionary, nor was it written to be offensive. It is here simply to preserve those good ole “basics of our high school years.
