I am, at the time of writing, a high school senior and a future Seaman in the United States Navy. I have the second highest ACT score at my school, South High School (32), first highest ASVAB score (95%) and have received nearly straight As in all of my advanced classes. I have taken the most rigorous course-load possible. I say this because I want to contrast this with my experience (and the shared experiences I will present as my own). I also want to make sure it is known that I am not intellectually stunted to any degree. I wish to warn parents of what their child may face at this school. This is not a tolerant school. If he/she is gay, autistic, socially awkward or whatever else, he will hate it here. If he/she is a bright individual, he/she will hate it here.It will become clear why this is necessary later. I wish to share this anecdote to highlight some problems.I live near the school itself, so often I am forced to confront the memories I have accumulated from there. I was often tormented by my peers. Name calling, physical abuse and other injustices were normal and occurred almost every day. Appallingly, the administration seems to care very little about these woes. In fact, out of the two years I spent atBuffett, a bully was punished only once, and that was for assault and vandalism! His crime? He stole my bike and ruined the chain and kickstand. The same day, after calling him out on it, he knocked me off the bike and started a fight. He got ONE lunch detention. The lightest sentence for any violation. I once got in three lunch detentions for sleeping in class, by the way.This clearly shows a trend: administration DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR CHILD. If he is having severe social issues at school, you will find no friends with the administration AT ALL.Buffett is also strictly authoritarian about classroom behavior. You are expected to sit many long hours in almost complete silence while absorbing information from the teacher. This information absorption process for anyone of reasonable intelligence is extremely boring. It is so intellectually numbing that all I could do is fall asleep. Of course, for that atrocious action, I was sent almost daily to PAC (detention).Comically, as if to demonstrate the intelligence of the average person at Buffett, the lunch room assigns seats so that people are not allowed to sit with friends, and you are not allowed to go to lunch without being walked there like cattle herded into a pen.To compound this already mindless environment with more mindlessness, questions are regarded with suspicion. Any person who has a genuine academic curiosity will be shut down almost immediately, even in advanced classes.The only people who garner any respect from teachers and administrators are the jocks, the athletes and the popular crowd. I wish not to sound clique, but administrative favoritism exists.I hope somebody will read this and be discouraged from going to this dreaded place. I am successful now, but Buffett made me feel hopeless, bored and sorrowful. It made me dread school for the longest time. Understand that if your child doesnt fit into the mold, he/she will never be happy here. Stay away.

This is the best and most amazing school system I have ever been privileged to be a part of (the technology magnets in Omaha) and I cannot overstate the awesomeness of Buffett Magnet Middle. My son, who is very high functioning, was able to be in a fast paced math program that kept up with his voracious thirst for knowledge. He was molded into a star student at Fullerton Elementary and then Buffett was just a truly profoundly worthwhile educational experience for him. Unfortunately, we had to move mid-year to another state and we STILL miss Omaha and this superb school (and school system). They have a no-tolerance policy where not only is there no bullying, but no disrespect of any kind is tolerated - toward anyone! I have half a mind to move back to Omaha just for the schools. OUTSTANDING! I had kids in 2nd, 3rd & 5th while we were there. I would recommend these schools to anyone wondering about them!

The easiest way to install Minecraft modsAdventure Games More...Fabrizio Ferri-Benedetti BY FABRIZIO FERRI-BENEDETTI July 20, 2014AdvertisementThere’s no limit to what you can do with Minecraft’s mods. Mods are modifications that extend or change aspects of Minecraft. The creators of these modifications are players who want a feature in the official game. Resource packages, on the other hand, are images that replace the originals in Minecraft so that objects look different.The images below are an example of what can be achieved with mods: the top image shows classic Minecraft without mods, wile the bottom shows Minecraft with a graphic mod. The difference is amazing.Minecraft before and after applying the SEUS mod and the Chroma Hills package (source)But how do you install mods? Minecraft doesn’t have an in-game option, meaning you have to use unofficial tools. After doing a bit of research, I found what appears to be the easiest system to install mods in Minecraft: Forge.Minecraft Forge, the all-in-one system for modsMinecraft mods used to have to be installed manually: you had to open the original game files (which are in minecraft.jar), copy the mod, and delete a folder called META-INF. Unfortunately, this isn’t allowed in the latest versions of Minecraft.Minecraft Forge is an accessory that was added to Minecraft, making it possible to create and install all kinds of mods. It’s updated regularly and you won’t need to modify the original files.Minecraft ForgeThe main menu on Minecraft after installing Minecraft Forge1. Make a backup fileBefore doing anything, make a backup of your Minecraft worlds. Open your file explorer, type % appdata%, and press Enter. Then go to /Roaming/.minecraft /saves.A folder with sub-folders corresponding to your worlds will open. Copy them to another folder– if something goes wrong, all you’ll have to do is copy them back in the original folder.2. Download and install Minecraft ForgeDownload the latest version of Minecraft Forge. After downloading the file, double-click to open, and start the installation.Leave the first option selected (Install client) and click OK. To verify that the installation was successful, open Minecraft, select the Forge profile, and launch the game.3. Download and install mods and resource packagesFinding mods can be tricky. You must be aware of possible viruses and scams. Certain mods might be obsolete and won’t work, while a few of them are incompatible with other mods. If you only download mods for Forge, you’ll avoid most of these problems.Three downloaded mods. With Forge you won’t need to unzip the filesThe best sites I know for downloading mods and resource packs for Minecraft Forge is on the official wiki list, as well as the PlanetMinecraft and ResourcePack sites. All mods and resource packages are in ZIP, RAR, or JAR format.4. Copy the files in the /mods/ folderPress Windows + R to open the Run window, type %AppData% and press Enter. Double click on Roaming and then on .minecraft. There you’ll see the mods folder.Copy the files you’ve downloaded in the mods folder. When you open Minecraft again, Forge will check the folder, looking for any changes.As for the resource packs, these are opened from the Options > Resource packs option in Minecraft’s menu. Some mods require specific packages.5. Run Minecraft and enjoy the modsTime to play! Note that each mod has different controls and interfaces. Always read the instructions that come with them– they tend to be in the mod’s original website or are included as text files.

I go to Buffett, it is a good school but there are problems as there are at every middle school. Teachers often leave the classroom to visit or grab supplies for learning. During these 5-10 minute periods I was often bullied and no one did anything until my dad ended up calling the bullys parents, many students use profanity and do not respect other students. These students are likely to be a bad influence on your child, they will teach your kid tolerance and how to be ignorant of others that only talk smack.If your child is a high ability learner, this school has many advanced classes and coursework that will help your child excel. The school offers free office 365 accounts, Acheive 3000 accounts, and IXl is another offered program. Many other OPS schools also offer those programs also. The choice if you want to exopse your child to that enviorment is yours.

Its where all the rich and snobby kids goes, to be honest... if you want your kid going to this school, and turning out as a brat, then let them go , but if you want a good educated school do not go. Because i highly think this school didnt teach me anything, and im a straight A studend, well was. i transfer out when i was in 6th grade, and went to a better school & graduated from Northwest on the top of the list for graduates
