Who's YOUR Person of the Year?
TIME magazine has been choosing a "Person of the Year" since 1927, when aviator Charles Lindbergh appeared on the cover. In the past, the company has defined its choice as "the person who most affected the events of the year." And this time around, the magazine picked Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke for his work on the U.S. economy.
Who's YOUR person of the year, and what is your choice based on?

Separate Classrooms
What seems to be working at a middle school in Virginia - separate classrooms for guys and girls - may not be for everyone. I'd like to hear whether you students in co-ed classrooms think you'd do better or worse if you were divided by gender. And if you're already in a class that is, tell us how it's working out for you.

Truancy and Punishment
Anyone you know who's skipped school has probably given you a number of reasons for why he or she did it. The challenge that faces so many schools across the country is keeping students from skipping - even when their parents don't. And the answer at a district in Wisconsin is to punish some of the parents who don't do their part to keep students in class.
The fine: $366. But it is possible for parents to get out of paying that if they show up at "truancy court" and work out an agreement with the judge. (And if they don't show up, the consequences can be worse.)
I've heard a lot of people say parents are to blame when a student has a problem with skipping. Do you think the Wisconsin district's plan would help solve the problem? If not, what would?
