text: I agree with Mike.  Please be careful in your paper not to use the word ain't.\n\nYour teacher may also be working under some strict quidelines as far as what your school board and/or administration will allow to be a part of the school newspaper.  \n\nIt may seem simple to you and you probably have some great ideas, but schools have been taken to the supreme court over what could be published in a school paper and whether or not they fall under freedom of the press.  Not fair I know, but...that is life.\n\nTry getting your teacher to at least let you have a brainstorming session and to explain some of the policy, etc. involved.
