This Blog is designed
for Mr. Pye's AP Economics
classes. It is meant to show
that Economics is not just a

our daily lives.

Welcome Spring Semester!
Welcome to Mr. Pye's AP Economics Class. Leave a short comment showing that you found this spot, and in your own words, tell me something that you think we will be studying this semester. Don't copy anyone else's ideas.
Dakota Hanka (AKA Hipsta Phresh) Period 7 Represent!
This semester, I believe that we will discover exactly how the principles of psychology and sociology in a population interact on a national scale to produce a growth or reduction in overall GDP; After all, Economics is really a type of social science in which human wants are measured against the means to acquire resources. (interesting stuff, I must say). Also, with the Stock Market project becoming a keystone, we will also study the true interplay between different types of markets and how one seemingly insignificant change may greatly impact another portion of a market.
Greetings Mr.Pye. This semester, I believe that we will learn about the economy both inside and out, and we will learn about the relationship between demand and supply. Also, I look forward to competing in the Stock Market Game. In addition, I believe we will be studying about the trickle-down theory of economics and possibly even the advantages and disadvantages of different types of economies.
Hi Mr. Pie, I found this website alright. I believe this semester we will be discussing the basic economics of our country as well as the factors that affect different economic systems.
Will Ripley Period 7 I think we will study the stock market's role in influencing the state of our economy and how big business has sway over all the economy in general.
I found your page! I am going to take a shot in the dark and say that I believe we will be discovering the pros and cons of dabbling in the stock market. We will come to understand many of the properties that eco possesses that make it a huge factor in the success of a nation, both within itself and when competing with the nations surrounding it.
In economics this year I think we will be learning about how the economy works, the reasons for its ups and downs, the role we play in that, and the ideal point for the economy to be at.
I think we will be learning about the ridiculous amount of debt the US is in and the amount it builds up...which is every second! Also I think we'll be learning about how to manipulate stocks so that by the time we graduate, we have college paid for :)
Hi Mr. Pye!! This semester in economics I think you will teach us how to find all the loop holes and tricks in the stock market, so when we decide to invest in the market we will become successfully rich! I also believe we will learn the history of not only the Unites Sates economy but in the world. And finally I think we will learn much about you and your personal perspective on economics :) Christina Zamora, Period 4
One of the main things that I think we'll learn in the next several months is sort of how to live in the real world. Hopefully, the stock market project will give us a good understanding of the way our country's economy works. I think it will also give us a good basis of knowledge of something that we could definitely carry with us past college, and eventually participate in the stock market for real!
I think that we will be studying the behavior of economic investors and politicians, an expansion of the supply and demand concept, and analysis of national economies.
I think that this semester, we will be studying the importance of the economy in our day to life. Additionally, I perceive us to gain a grasp of the stock market and how we can get a hold on its dealings. Lastly, I think that you're going to teach us how to become super powerful millionaire, so that we can eventually change our last names to "Kardashian".
Hey Mr. Pye! This semester I think we will be learning about the stock market and how it functions, go more in depth on supply/demand, and learn who created certain policies that are in use today.
Hi, Mr. Pye, I found the site. : ) I believe this semester we will be learning about the history of economics and the effects that it has on every aspect of a persons life. Also about the positive and negative effects that the human emotions play on the rise and fall of the stock market.
Hi Mr. Pye! I think that this semester we will be learning many new economic terms such as scarcity, elasticity, supply curve, etc. Also, we will be able to better keep track of current events in the world. Lastly, I think that we will be analyzing and studying philosophical theories of many economists and how they shaped the economic policy.
I think we will be studying how countries as a whole go about efficiently managing scarce resources and goods in a world market with constant uncertainty.
This semester, I believe that we will learn how the American people and subsequently the American economy react to relative levels of surplus or scarcity. In essence, we will cover how the American people react to various economic pressures and how our reactions affect the economy as a whole.
I believe this semester we will be studying the difference between both demand and supply. As well how changes in economic policies will affect our everyday lives.
Hi Mr. Pye, this semester I think we will be introduced to the basic nature of economics. I think we will also learn to actually care about the economy that is in not so good shape now.
Hi Mr. Pye, this semester I think we will learn about the factors that influence the economy and, in turn, how the economy influences us. Also, that we will learn how to dominate the AP test thereby earning college hours. Woopie!
Hello Mr. Pye.. I believe that in this semester we will be learning how some economists focus on the different markets and government policies that directly shape access to health care. How others focus on schools and educational policies in order to improve them. Last but not least, how some economists consider the economic circumstances of the poor and evaluate alternative government programs to improve the well-being of the needy.
Greetings Mr. Pye. You were right; it does suck being the last one to comment and having to go through and read everyones posts so that you can come up with something new yourself. This semester I believe we will be learning about the positives and negatives of the different economies such as free market, etc. I'm sure you will teach us about what causes stock prices to rise and fall and how to stock prices of the major corporations affects the prices of regular businsess. I was really eager to learn more about how the government plans on dealing with the tremdendous amount of debt our nation is in, and your personal views on what would help fix the recession our nation is in (although noticable progress is being madee).
I believe we will be studying how economics really affects our everyday lives and how under appreciated it is the world. This class should open student's mind to wanting to possibly pursue it as a career or at least understand it and how it manages our country.
I think this class helps us to understand how changes in economic policies affects our daily life. Studying economics can improve our financial situation
Hi Mr. Pye! I am commenting late because I was not in your class the first week of school. I think we will be studying the different aspects of an economy and how each country's economy differs.
This class seems beyond fun and I haven't even been in this class for the whole year. I think I like it because I know this will be something I can actually use in life.
