28 stories
Signed arguments from the staff. Matcha, straws, study modes, interviews with teachers who are leaving or staying.
The unpressed submit button, the notes-page alibi, and two more. Flagged by the editor as satire — probably.
Caiden Kim
Matcha is only popular because it looks aesthetic.
Seoyun Lee
Nine siblings, a pet wild hog, Cast Away, and why she is leaving VIS after two years.
Valor Times Staff
On being a scholar before a teacher, League of Legends, pineapple pizza, and whether he is leaving Valor.
Caiden Kim
Complete silence makes every small noise distracting. A case for instrumental playlists.
Hanna Seo
56% say one, 44% say two. A straw is a stretched donut, and stretching changes nothing.
Juwon Kim
The Head of Upper School on a fast transition, hobbies she jokes she doesn't have, and not rushing the next stage.
Victoria Oh
