Ethics have been called into question on the cases of Glass and Blair because they both wrote numerous ‘fake’ stories. Not only did they fabricate their stories and create quotes from ‘anonymous’ sources that were untrue. In the case of Glass, he went to a larger extent saying that he created websites and fake email addresses to cover up his lies. In all, he covered up his lies with even more lies every single time because he strove to be the best and have appealing articles and stories that would make the public interested, excited, and happy. In the case of Blair, he plagiarized other journalists articles word for word until one day he got caught. He would lie to his boss and the public saying that he even went to interview people when in reality he never showed up. He just used the stories, quotes, and words from someone else.

Sophomore discusses aspirations and details of new hit app that helps find colleges fit to you.
Sophomore, Louis Jackson, creates phone app called “College4U” that narrows down college options based on a student’s preferences. After recently moving to St. Louis from LA, Louis Jackson, shares his app, how it works, and his inspirations with Ladue Publications.
“College4U is designed for juniors and seniors in high school. When you open the ap, it starts by asking you a series of questions that are essential to determining what college you would want to attend.”, said Jackson when asked the purpose of the app.
The app will then ask follow up questions to determine what colleges would be a good fit for each individual. So far, the app has been successful and has cleared a pathway for a Jackson’s career goal.
“I have always loved computers and technology, and after having so much success with College4U, I think I have a clear idea of what the career entails.”, Jackson said. But, the success and Jackson’s love for tech isn’t the only thing that has kept him inspired to keep making and exploring the app world.
Two years ago, Jackson’s mother passed away from cancer.
“She was amazing and totally involved. She was my biggest cheerleader in everything I did. I guess that’s what inspires me to keep going.”, said Jackson.
Jackson is constantly reminded of his love for the career by seeing an app he created at the age of 13, which he created with the help of his mother. The app was called App-tizing, and it was this and his mother that led him to create College4U.
College4U has its credentials from Jackson partnering with his high school’s college and career office and conversing with Universities to ensure all his information was correct.
“Don’t get me wrong, universities are constantly changing their rules and finances, so the ap has to be updated constantly, but to the best of my knowledge and ability, it is accurate.”, said Jackson.
LHWHS Teacher Mr. Krueger
Mr. Krueger, a Ladue Horton Watkins High School teacher, shared his love for teaching and the vast world of literature with Ladue Publications on August 28, 2018. Born and raised in Mexico, Missouri, Mr. Krueger found his passion for reading and writing. Although, that was not always the case.
“I wanted to be a pizza chef” Mr. Krueger said, but soon found his true calling.
“In sixth grade, I was inspired by my science teacher because of his enthusiasm while he taught.”, he said.
So, Mr. Krueger went to Truman State aspiring to be a literature teacher, to change other’s lives, and help people achieve their dreams. Mr. Krueger has been teaching at Ladue for several years now, but almost didn’t apply for a job here because “Ladue had a reputation of not hiring first year teachers.” But, on a Monday after his wedding, Mr. Krueger received the news while in the aisles at the grocery store that he was being offered a teaching position at LHWHS. After just getting married a few days earlier, Mr. Krueger was ecstatic to hear the amazing news from Ladue’s administration, one can imagine how delighted he must’ve felt. From not having a job a few minutes earlier, Mr. Krueger now had a job at one of the top public schools in the state of Missouri as he was standing in the grocery store. After hearing the news, Mr. Krueger had one thing come to mind.
“Let’s get steak”, Mr. Krueger said was his first thought.
Since then, Mr. Krueger has seen many faces and minds, and still loves teaching even more than he did before. Mr. Krueger loves keeping up with some of his students and has even written letters of recommendations for students’ in his classes so that they would be eagerly accepted into colleges of their choices. Ladue Publications openly urges everyone to take some of Mr. Krueger’s classes such as Science Literature & Satire, Journalism, and Literature and Composition in your time here at Ladue.
