What is a 'splash page'? Look it up. Explain what they are and how they are used. Find an example of a splash page in Google Images. Save the image to you computer and then upload it to your blog post. Hint - see below.

A splash page is a page of a website that you first see before going to the main content of the website. They are used to promote a company or a product. It can also be a way to keep your website restricted with making people have to log in to get to the main page. It is also occasionally used as a loading page for websites and other things like that.

They usually have attention grabbing things like pictures or sound and sometimes links to get to the main content page, or it just goes to the main page automatically. It is basically an introduction page for a website.

Read THIS blog post by a teacher. I mean actually read it. Take it in. Think about it. And then, write about it. What do you think about it? What is the teacher trying to say? In your own words explain what "the main event" is. Do you agree or disagree with the writer?

I think that this is true. He is trying to say that it's not equations and all that stuff that is important in school; it's the teaching of how to overcome adversity. "The main event" of school is teaching you how to handle tough situations and to not give up. I agree that that is what high school should be teaching as "the main event," but I don't exactly believe that it's what all the teachers are trying to teach us. If that is what all teachers are trying to teach us, they are not doing a very good job. I do believe that they should be teaching us this though.
