C31520FB6759,"Using a phone during driving can be very distracting as well as dangerous. Driving already requires concentration so being preoccupied could endanger not only the driver but others as well. Phones also have uses that support multitasking. Despite this drivers still might get preoccupied and lose concentration. I think drivers should only be able to execute something simple like talking on the phone while driving.
Driving may look or sound fun but in truth it is very dangerous. Many people lost their lives behind the wheel either because there lack of concentration or a reckless driver. Sur vehicles have air bags but air bags don't guarantee safety. If u guarantee safety pulling out a phone while driving is not recommended. It's okay for non-drivers to have hones out because they do not require concentration.
In conclusion ""should drivers be able to use phones for any reason while driving?"" As stated earlier in the essay I believe talking on the phone should not be a problem for those who can multi-task. Things like texting should not be tolerated because it puts drivers and there passengers at risk. People behind wheels should realize that driving is dangerous.

C02A65E91884,"It is good to ask for advice from multiple people instead of one person because if you are in a such a horrible situation that could end up with you and a loved one saying nasty things at each other that you dont really mean. You would need advice from multiple people to prevent that happening because if you go to you one of your closest friends asking for their advice, but they might accidentally give you the wrong advice with out meaning too. Asking for multiple different people's advice can give you different opinions, and backup advice.
If you receive several different opinions it could help you make a good decision based on your situation. For example if you only ask one person for advice on how to study for a big test, but instead of giving you good advice on how to study that person accidentally gave you bad advice and you end up failing that test. But if you asked 3 different people for advice and two people recommend one similar way to study, and the other person recommended a completely different way to study then chose the most recommended way to study for the test because most likely those to people used the same strategies and did really well.
Having backup advice will help if the advice you took in the first place doesnt work. Then you have other advice to fall back on. Here is an example: If you are starting a new business for the first time and you go to a two different people who have already started a business and person number one said ""Work on getting a facility to work in"", and person number two said ""make as much money as possible first"". You go with person number one's advice which is to get a facility to work in. The advice that you went with didn't work very well, so you go to advice number two which is to make as much money as possible and that advice worked wonderfully. Its always good to have backup advice that you can use if the original fails.
Seeking diferenent people's advice can help you in multiple ways like having different opinions, and backup advice to use if the original advice fails. Asking for advice is a great thing but sometimes people get bad advice so receiving multiple people's advice is better then just one person's advice.",,392,Seeking multiple opinions,Independent,"When people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person.

5738013BE785,"The author of ""The Challenge of Exploring Venus"", most likely suggests that Venus is worthy of studying, because of the comparisons he or she makes in paragraph four. The author goes on in paragraphs 5-7, by discussing various ways that scientists are trying, or have tried studying Venus from space. In the first couple paragraphs they explain the different dangers that come with space missions to explore Venus.
The author of this text refers to Venus in paragraph two as ""Earth's 'twin'"".
He begins to elaberate more by given facts about how the two planets are alike. ""Venus is the closet planet to Earth in terms of density and size"", the author says. Venus is sometimes the closet planet to Earth, thus being the reason why humans have sent numerous spacecraft to land on, as the author calls it, a ""cloud-draped world"". Every mission to Venus, hasn't in the lamest terms, been successful. The spacecrafts sent there have only lasted for a couple of hours, and this is why every mission has been unmanned.
There are numerous factors that contribute to humans having many chanlleges to to study a planets with a reputation like Venus. As the author explains, ""a thick atmosphere of almost 97 carbon dioxide blankets Venus"". In paragraph three of the text the author goes more in depth about the harshness of Venus's atmosphere. Temperatures on Venus average about 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure exceeds those 90 times greater than what we experience here on Earth. These types of conditions could crush a submerine made to travel to the deepest parts of our oceans. Depite just the atmospheric conditions Venus has an array of erupting volcanoes and powerful earthquakes, to name a few, that occur on its surface.
Paragraph four is where the author begins to make more comparisons between Earth and its dangerous sister planet Venus. The author explains or hypothsizes that Venus was once like Earth. They belive Venus at one time had oceans, and could support many forms life, like Earth. Venus has many analogous features similar our planet. Venus has valleys, moutains, and craters. The author also says that returning to Venus is almost indisputable, and how could they make it safer and efficent for scientists.
In the next couple paragraphs the authors goes over the possible NASA and it's scientists are trying to make travel to Venus better. They believe that if man would go on a mission to Venus they would have to travel almost 30 miles above the firery planet. At that distance tempertures would still be above 150 degrss Fahrenheit, but the pressure would have gone down the that of sea levels on Earth. Later in paragraphs 6-8 the author trys to give details on the different ways these scientists are trying to devlop metals and other materials that could last longer than just a couple of hours. The author, in the last paragraph says that the exploration of Venus has much value, not being of the planet itself, but because human curiosty will likely lead humans into many eaqually intimidating endeavors.

1D0E0C228813,"Ever wondered how the streets of a very popullated city would look like? For example, Miami. At night Miami is full buildings that stand out in color, and on the highways you can see a whole road full of lights, the thing with these lights is that they are cars, even though they are helpful by getting us from point A to point B, they are the second highest source of pollution in the United States, that is after power plants. The only thing a city like Miami is missing at night is a sky full of bright stars, which that can be done by people not driving to everywhere they go, even if it is one or two blocks away. This whole ""car-free"" thing is become more and more popular all over the world.
In Vauban, Germany a small town, home to 5,500 people have decided to go car-free. ""As a result, 70 percent of Vauban's families do not own cars, and 57 percent sold a car to move here"" (Source 1). 70 percent of the the people is a lot, these streets are completly car-free except in the main thoroughfare and on the edge of the community, if this were to happen to a larger city the nights would be beatiful, and so will the days because you have all the car noise out and instead you have people talking and kids running all around the streets. ""Passanger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe... and up to 50 percent in some car-intensive areas in the United States"" (Souce 1). Miami is a car-intensive area, I know this from personal experince, there is always traffic during the day. I've been to other places in Florida, not that far from Miami, in Palm Beach at night the amount of starts you see at nights is beautiful and it's something new to see other than in Miami you see 2 to 3 stars. My point here isn't stars, it's how much better the world can be if we all do what this small town in Germany is doing.
Paris, France. The city of lights home to millions of residents and a landmark for millions of tourists, one would think this city couldn't run without cars, but they made it happen. Paris wanted to clean all the air polution in their city, ""On Monday motorists with even-numbered license plates were ordered to leave their cars at home or suffer a 22-euro fine ($31)"" (Source 2). Even though some didn't listen and about 4,000 drivers were fined, that is still very little compared to the entire population of Paris. ""Congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of France, after five-days of intensifying smog"" (Source 2). Can you believe that? Traffic was down by 60 perfect in the city of lights, if it can happen there it can happen all around the world, little by little bu we'll get it. Public transportation was free of charge in the city while this car-free thing was going on. One week later the smog had cleared out enough for the ruiling French party to rescind the ban.
""BOGOTA, Colombia - In a program that's set to spread to other countries, millions of Colombians hiked, biked, skated or took buses to work during a car-free day yesterday, leaving the streets of this capital city eerily devoid of traffic jams"" (Source 3). Yes, the city of Bogota in Colombia had its one car-free day, in Bogota called ""Day Without Cars"", this was the third year actually, on this ""car-free"" day cars are banned and only buses and taxis are permitted for the day. Bogota was not the only Colombian city to participate in this event, other Colombian cities like Cali and Valledupr, participated in this event for the first time. I find it funny and ironic because my sister has a friend who is Colombian and she owns a bicycle and she goes everywhere in that bicycle, and she refuses to get a car. Bogota is a very known city and just like I said before, if they can do it then the whole world can it. This day should be world wide and should be done at leats twice a year. Events like this will also get people motivated to start walking morre often. ""Parks and sports centers also have bloomed throughout the city; uneven, pitted sidewalks have been replaced by broad, smooth sidewalks; rush-hour restrictions have dramatically cut traffic; and new restuarants and upscale shopping districts have cropped up"" (Source 3). If you've ever been to Miami, you know the huge amount of building there are here and I think there are about 3 or 4 being built at I type, how about we stop there and make Miami and healthier and more environmentally friendly place.
In the United States, research shows ""A study last year found that driving by young people decreased 23 percent between 2001 and 2009"" (Source 4). This meaning that adolescents aren't as intresting and driving as they were before, yeah I see how driving can be better but most kids here take the bus, they aren't even driven by their parents anymore. I find that this is a good thing because, one can ask themselves, I can't make a difference, but if thousands of people ask themselves that, then yes a difference can be made. In 2005 the miles driven by Americans peaked, and then steadily went dropping, in April, 2013 they found out that the miles in car was the same as it was in 1995. Not driving everywhere you go and actually walking there is a good thing because you can make new friends, and health wise it is also good because, instead of walking around your block for an hour, you can walk to someones house or to the store. There are several carpooling apps on the internet nowadays, if your friends can't pick you up, for just a push of a button you can have someone come pick you up to where ever you are and drop you off where you need to go to, for a low price. ""Recent studies suggest that Americans are buying fewer cars, driving less and getting fewer licenses as each year goes by"" (Source 4). This means that people aren't as interest in driving anymore, which means we are slowly getting near the time where we'll see more stars in the sky in car-intensive areas.

F03B2CBA9BED,Hi my name is STUDENT_NAME. I feel that students should perform community service because the world needs to become a better place. Everyday many birds and animals at sea die do to pollution and the garbage thrown in the water. People eat whatever it is their mom or dad packed for them and they throw that plastic in the water only causing another animal to suffocate and die crucially. Even if that piece of plastic was thrown on the floor do to all the wind it can end up right in the ocean. I feel that this whole community service is like a processed sequence because someone liters and another person picks it up and it goes on over and over and it doesn't help the earth as a whole. I know that if we can all come together and clean up this earth it will make it not only a better environment for the animals but for us humans. As more people see us clean up the world they will start to join. They should raise the price on littering to however much it takes to get this earth to a better and cleaner place.

61B11F508FC5,"Driverless cars is certainly an amzing idea. It has captured the ideas of filmakers and writers around the world. It is a great idea and should be pursued. The reason for this is because it would make the roads safer, and give people more free time.
The reason this is a great idea is because a driverless car would make the roads much safer. There would be very little room for human error. If all cars were driverless operating under the same systm then they would always be doing the same things, meaning they would never crash into each other. With new technological advances in society, we would be able to create new sensors that could locate the objects around them and drive on the road. The article already list a few of the advances in sensors that can lead to very safe cars.
This would also give people much more free time. You can do things on the internet within your car that you would not have been able to do otherwise, considering the idea from the article about the heads-up displays. Also if you had a systme driving your car for you, you could travel at much higher speeds. The car would never leave the road because of a jerk of a hand.

Dear Senator,
What do you think about the Electoral Collage? The electoral collage is a process,not a movement. The Electoral collage is unfair to the citizens of the united states. Its unfair to voters because they are not able to vote for a president of their like. Another reason the Electoral Collage is unfair is because citizens are not voting for their president they are voting for a slate of elector how will pick the president for them.
Citizins are givin the rights to vote. The electoral collage is a way of taking voting away from them. Why would someone want to vote if they are not going to be able to vote for a president of their like. The single best argument against the electoral collage is what they might call the disastor factor. The electoral collage is also unfair to voters because of the winner-take-all system that awards all electors to the winning president candidate.
What is voting to a citizin? Isint voting a right for citizens to vote for their president of their choice? Why take it away from them with the electoral collage. If you look at it from an american citizen prospective its like they dont even have a word when choosing their president. What di Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Bob Dole, The U.S. Chamber of commerce, and the AFL-CIO all agreed on? they agreed on abolishing the electoral collage!

8.31E+11,"The principals want every one to at least participate in one extra activity after school. the students have to pick one or they won't be able to do it and the principle would get made at you because you didn't show up at any activity. some activity are basketball, football, soccer , and tennis. students can work on sports and the yearbook, and you can also work on a student sere vest council.
yes because students can get the best out of it and you would get serves hours every single day and you get your blood flowing if you did one of those activities. since students are in middle school they have the right to do any activities at there middle schools and the principle said they would have to do it every single or on the days they say after.
some middle schools don't have after school because of where they live or the school does not provided. the reason why i like after school is i get to participate in basketball games and help out with the yearbook and that is why i like talking about after school activities.
students should participate in all of the activities that the principle gives them. i like that students get the aportuite to go to an event that people have set up and that some kids don't get gift that students get at after school and get to born off energy at school or at your house if you like to participate in activities or play a sport or do a yearbook club with your friends or do those things at school.
people like to participate in things be cause the get out of your house or at schools, because at school your sitting on your but all day and night and your bones get tired.
the principle give us thing to do because some kids get on there nerves and they give the students a activity to do after school so they can be tired when they get home or from work. some people like to do after school because you can get exercise and watch some TV when you get home or homework can be an activity because you are writing some thing down on paper or typing on a computer at school or at home and that is why principles give you an active to do at home or after school. some schools don't get the types of things we do at our middle schools. people don't like the idea because it would get kids in trouble because they would hurt people or be inapropite. that is why some school around the united states don't have after school. the principle give you these things to do is to keep people from doing wrong or do there homework and help out with the yearbook committed and also be the aprotuite to play some basketball after school and participate in a march madness basketball tournament after school at most of the middle schools and you can make your own team for 7th grade and 8th grade. people like to do this after school because they can still play basketball and get the aprotutite to play basketball. some people after school really like to do the yearbook committed because they can take pictures of grate classes and gym classes and then send them to a photo committed and then they put the photos in a book and then they call it the year book.
some students can sign up for a position for a students council and it would be every single day after school.
some kids don't like to stay after because they have things going on at there houses. some people like to stay after school because they want to go to homework club or basketball club or tennis club or football club and video game club and the last one is rubies cube club and all of the those clubs are after school Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. Thursday. Friday are the days they have the clubs and if you don't come you won't get serves ours and you would be stop by the printable. there are so many things you can do after school like go to basket ball and football and homework club and walk around with your friends and get energy out of your body because you have been sitting all day. one reason why i like to stay after is to do homework and play basketball with some friends or pick up a game of basketball and if there are none i try to make one.
after school is really great because i get to do things like go see teachers if i have a homework assessment do the next day. after schools really great because students get to be away from there homes and don't have see them or get in trouble. so that is the story of me typing about after school works and the people that stay after are really nice people and after school has a lot of activities every single day except Tuesdays and Fridays are the only days that don't have late buses and also when you stay after school you can take a late bus home or walk or call your parents to come get you from school because all of the teachers have to go home to because so they can grade papers and get a good night rest for tomorrow or also the teacher would be very grumpy every day and that why i don't give a teacher hard time. there are so meany things after school and so i recamend staying after. that is why we need to extend the school day because we don't get a lot of time to do things like after school programs. if we had a extended school day we would get a lot of time to walk around the school and play basketball or help the pricipal with some things or be a helper cleaning up after people and cleaning people class rooms for serves hours on the days we have after school. the reason why we should a longer school day is because we can basketball games like the march madness and go to the rubies cube club and do homework and this is why we have after school so students can participate in things. the reason the the principle wants kids to participate in actives is because students go home and do not do there homework and teachers get made and that is why we have after school is so kids can get there homework done and also go see a teacher for help if they are after school when you stay after. some kids stay because so they don't have to go home and see there family and also they can get in trouble. the end",,1141,Mandatory extracurricular activities,Independent,"Your principal has decided that all students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity.

4229BE9A3599,"Phones & Driving
Today, the majority of humans own and operate cell phones on a daily basis. A lot of things in the 21st century have to do with using a cell phone, including driving. Although some people may agree with using a cell phone while driving, others may disagree. They all have their own reasons why, but I'm going to explain why drivers should be able to use cell phones in any capacity while operating a vehicle.
There are lots of benefits when using a cell phone while operating a vehicle, but the most important benefit of cell phones during driving is the security factor. During emergency situations cell phones can provide help and the driver can make emergency calls, even reporting any dangerous scenario such as roadside accidents. Through cell phones a driver can locate the desired route or find his/her way back home if they are lost. Using FMs on cell phones can also provide information about weather and traffic.
Regulating cell phone use is not a federal responsibility, even on federal roads. This is not an issue that Washington has the authority to address. There's no compelling reason for it. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says that 3,092 traffic deaths last year involved distracted drivers. But using a cell phone is only one of many driver distractions. Eating and drinking while behind the wheel are two others, and they are far more dangerous than yapping on the phone. In fact, a 2009 NHTSA study found that 80% of all car wrecks are caused by drivers eating or drinking, not cellphone use, with coffee-guzzling the top offender.
According to federal data, traffic deaths have fallen from 2.1 per 100 million vehicle miles in 1990, when virtually no one had a cellphone, to 1.1 in 2009, when almost everyone does. We have no problem with bans on texting while in the driver's seat. Texting forces a driver's eyes off the road and is clearly risky. But it must be done at the state level. That's how federalism works. States that don't see texting as a threat on their roads are free to keep it legal.
But banning cellphone use? Why aren't the Potomac nannies going after Starbucks sippers and Big Mac munchers instead? Why not prosecute women who put on their makeup while on the road and men who shave? Shouldn't combing while driving be outlawed as well? This is all coming, of course, from the same Washington that's commanding automakers to build more fuel-efficient cars, which is likely to result, as it has in the past, in more carnage as the cars have to be smaller and lighter to meet the standards. If federal meddlers really wanted to keep traffic fatalities down, they'd reverse their fuel-efficiency demands.

3.74E+11,"What would life without cars be like? Cities throughout the world are practicing this idea, and seem to be doing fine without thier cars.
Cars are a great way of traveling from place to place. They are fast and time efficent but cars aren't the best for the environment, they cause polution,bad air,smog and global warming. The city of Paris has a partial driving ban becuase of the rise in smog they are experiencing. The ban was succeful in reducing the amount of smog and also alowed the puplic to use public trasportation free of charge. Now if more places started doing this air polution would decrease and we would have cleaner air to breath in and less health problems from smog.
In the city of Bogota, Colombia the residents have a car fee day each year. On this day Colombians hike, ride thier bikes, skate, or take buses and taxies to work. Doing this yearly activity has lowered traffic jams which allowed workers to get to work on time while they took buses or taxies. Not only were traffic jams reduced but people get to exercise and commute with others while the walk or ride thier bikes to thier disired distination. Limiting car use is not only good for lowering air polution and geting exercise, it's also good for bussines.
Vauban, Germany has been practicing this idea as well. They have a no car policy, if residents wish to have a car they have to buy a parking space from a parking lot. Having a parking lot allows kids to play outdoors without the worry of having to deal with cars. As people walk to places they want to be at, they may find stores where they can do some shoping. Store owners are now placing thier businesses along walk ways to atract customers as they walk by. Not only are businesses blooming so are parks and sport centers. The city Bogota have been building parks and sports centers as people are beginig to exercise more and are going outdoors.

AB0403712FA9,"Have you ever played a sport for your school? Well as an experienced athlete I know it can be hard to balance the never ending piles of homework when you have to spend most of your time training. And it's not just sports that have that effect it's all extracurricular activities. When a student joins on of these activities they don't know what they are signing up for, because they are really just an extra load of stress onto the crippled backs of today's students. Forcing students to participate in extracurricular activities is really just extra stress, helping you get bad grades, and all together effecting you negatively.
First off, Sports, Sports are probably the most important thing in many of students lives. Sports are getting them scholarships pushing them to get better grades, and become healthier people overall. But when a student joins a sports team he is taking precious time away from his day where he could be doing his homework, spending time with his family, or even babysitting his little sister so his mom dosen't have to pay extra money for a babysitter. Sports are an extracurricular activity and so is yearbook club, and robotics club, but they all have the same effect on students, a negative one. When one person has to deal with all of this at once their output is stress, lots of stress. Stressed students get bad grades even when they're striving to get them up, stressed students make bad decisions, and stressed student are more grumpy, and snappy. All of these different emotions piled up causes students to try and find a different output, and that's where drugs, and alcohol come in, they strike when a student is weak. But thats not the only negative side effect of out of school activities because they really do destroy your grades
Then again Grades are some of the most important things in any one person's life. Grades make or break people. Grades determine whether or not you get the job or you don't get the job, they give you life but they can also take it away. When a student get good grades joy floods into their life, their parents are proud, their teachers are proud, you auto-matically become glowing like a star. But when bad grades come along they contribute to stress, and usually your parents are not proud, neither are your teachers. Bad grades send students plummeting to rock bottom. Extracurricular activities are a leading cause in bad grades because they provide less time to study, do homework, sleep, and get the better grade. And when it comes to after school clubs they might not seem big but they are, they take away even more time and money because of all the competitions and contributions you have to make to those type of things. After school activities are a roller coaster that only goes up once in a blue moon. They effect you negatively, and it's not right to force them upon students.
When it comes to grades, sports, or any club the effect's that they have on students is clear, not a good one. Forcing student to participate in something that effects them negatively is wrong, and should never happen, ever. Being in the negative can be good sometimes though, for example when you have negative twenty-one fires burning your house ( No fires burning your house) or when your electricity bill is a negative (that means they owe you money). But in most cases being in the negative is NOT a good thing, like extracurricular activities. Negatives and after school activities don't mix because all that happens is more negative things. A negative plus a negative is not a positive, its more negatives. So in the end you have to understand that extracurricular activities are wrong, and not OK.
Finally, Forcing students to participate in after school activities bring stress into their lives, worsens their grades, and puts them really low on a negative scale. Extracurricular activities are a bad idea for any dedicated student to participate in, yet here we are still getting sign ups every day. So if you could take home anything in your brain that you just learned I would like you to ask yourself: should we even have after school activities.",,710,Mandatory extracurricular activities,Independent,"Your principal has decided that all students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity.

E758B77AC952,"Do you want to stay after school everyday for something you dont want to do?
Our principle has decided to make every student take an extracurricular activity.
I have decided to write about why I dont like the idea of extracurricular activities.
I disagree with extracurricular activities because students are tired at the end of the day,students might have somethings to do after school,and the teachers dont want to stay after school everyday.
First, we should not have extracurricular activities because students are tired at the end of the day. For example,students have seven to eight hours a day of school so they are going to be exhausted at the end of school. For instance,students might have had a test and they have to stay after school for an extracurricular activity. students would start to dislike school for making them stay after school for activities they dont want to do. For example, students dont want to stay in school for more than seven or eight hours a day, It's exhausting to have to stay in school for up to nine hours for activities you dont want to do. We should not have to take an extracurricular activity.
Also, students should not have to take an extracurricular activity because students might have somethings to do after school. For example, students might have chores to do around there home, not every student can stay after school everyday. For example, students might have a doctor's appointment after school and they cant stay after school and students have to get a note from there parents saying they have a doctor's appointment. For instance,Students might be on a sports team and they have to go to training or they have a game,what are they going to do then? Students should not have to take an after school activity.
Finally,The students should not be forced to take an extra activity because the teachers dont want to stay after school everyday. For example Teachers have longer hours than the students. Teachers get to school before the students, and leave school after the students and sometimes they even stay after school. Teachers are exhausted after school and the teachers choose to stay after school, they should not have to stay after school everyday. For instance,teachers are going to be cranky at the end of the day because there may be some kids who made the teacher angry or the teacher is just tired at the end of the day either way the teachers should not have to stay after school, only the ones who choose to stay after school should stay. For example,teachers choose to stay after school to grade students work and teacher choose a day or two to stay after school to help the students who need help and if they stayed after school everyday they would not want to stay after school to grade or to help the students with work. Teachers should not have to stay after school everyday.
'If students stayed after school everyday they would not have time to do what they like at home.''
I disagree with extracurricular activities and we should not have to take an extra activity after school because students are tired at the end of the day,students might have somethings to do after school,and teachers dont want to stay after school everyday.

A303B199A496,"Car-free events have been happening often around the world. This event helps with pollution and smog. As it was said on these sources it is helping with environment, families etc. Families have said that they really like the new ""trend"" of not using your car or motorcycle on a specific day. This specific days have been established by a few groups around each of the places that it has been happening.
Cars in this time period have become a problem but at the same time it has good qualities. Teens are being allowed to drive without a license causing major accidents to others and themselves. But cars transport us where we need to be in a faster and easier way. Cars are a useful tool but only if it is used in the right way.
The government has provided states to have different options for transportation like: the bus and the train. This useful ways to transport have helped the ""Car-free"" event. This transportation methods may take longer but they take a larger amount of people to their destinations and not as much pollution is caused.
Evidence from this article says that mom's liked the idea of taking walks to go grocery shopping or any other place. The buildings have been built closer so the time the person has to walk is not a long one. If the day of the event you violated the rules which are to not drive your car you would get a fine. In other states they arranged it by saying that only even license numbers could go out and use their car on a specific day assigned if you were to get caught violating the fine was going to be 22-euro fine ($31).
In Germany, there were some different rules when you were to buy your house, in the overall price, you had to pay for your parking $40,000. Home garages are forbidden so are street parkings and driveways. THe only place that is not car-free is ""downtown where Freigburg runs"". Cars are allowed to be owned by someone but there are only two places where you could park which is the parking you pay for when buying your house. This has caused Vauban's families to not own cars at all.
In the United States, President Obama has asked: "" has america passed peak driving?"" this is due to the results from the age of 16- to 39-years-old, the percentage of people getting their license dropped. Now they are not even bothered or in an urge to get it.
In conclusion, there are many states approving of this event which it seems to be luckly succeding. It has changed people's way of life by taking longer to get to their destinations but getting closer as a community.

11B9AC1814C8,"People have studied the many planets in our solar system and are fastinated by them. People have also studied the solar system to help explore and give information about the planets around us. One planet that scientists have studied for a good amount of time is Venus since it shows that at one time, the planet might have inhabited living organisms. However, Venus is a very dangerous planet since many attempts of landing spacecraft has failed on Venus and the clouds of the planet are made of sulfuric acid. Venus is not worth the pursuit of knowledge since the planet has a very dangerous enviorment for humans and that not a single spacecraft has landed safely on the planet and returned. The cost and risk of exploring Venus is not worth the infromation we would achieve.
Venus has a enviorment of very dangerous elements that can harm many living organisms and even nonliving objects. According to the article, 97 percent of the atmosphere of Venus is carbon dioxide, which is unable to be breathed by humans. Another detail the article states is that on the surface of the planet, the average temperatures is over eight hundred degrees. The climate and enviorment of Venus is too dangerous for exploration. The planet does not hold nowhere near a safe enviorment for people or even machine.
Another detail about Venus is that no spacecfaft has made a journey back from the planet. The article says, ¨... humans have sent numerous spacecraft to land on this cloud-draped world,¨ and then says ¨... since no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours.¨ If a spacecraft made by people can not survive the landing on Venus numerous times, how can we even come close to surviving the trip? Venus is too dangerous to explore and it is a waste to even send a spacecraft. The spacecrafts cost a good amount of money to make and for them to be wasted on a inhospitable planet is not worth the information we would achieve.
NASA has came up with a ¨solution¨ of the problemof gaining knowledge of Venus which is for a vehicle to hover over Venus and scientists would safely observe the planet that way. However, the article says that this can only give us a limited amount of information on Venus since the planet has a very dense atmosphere. The effort of creating a vehicle to hover the planet only to gain bits of knowledge is redundant and is not going the benefit anyone´s cause.
Venus is not worth the time, effort and resources to explore. The planet proves to be too dangerous for mankind and even for machines. Curiosity is not sufficiant enough of a reason to explore and learn about a inhospitable planet unless it is going to benefit mankind more than what it costed to gain that information.

89BA155355E4,"How can students continue to learn over the summer? Summer break is the longest break of the year for most students, and many students tend to not maintain what they had learned during the school year. Naturally teachers would want their students to continue learning over the break. In order to do so teachers might assign summer projects, that way their students don't stop learning over the 2 month break and are able to maintain what they already learned from the school year. Most summer projects that are teacher-designed bring the stresses of the school year, such as deadlines or requirements, into summer break. That's why these summer projects should be student-designed as it would provide the students with more freedom, an increased interest in what they learn, and less stress over the course of the project.
Having a student-designed summer project would allow for students to feel an increased sense of freedom. If the project were to be student-designed, then the students will feel more free because they'd be able to do their project based off of what they like, which would increase their interest in the subject of their project. With an increased sense of freedom, students will enjoy the project rather than feel as if it was just another assignment they needed to do for school. The feeling of freedom would increase their interest in the subject of their project because students would have the opportunity to design the project on what they like. This means that the students would put in more effort into the project, as they would feel they are doing what they like to do and not what they have to do. The increase in effort means that the quality of the project would be better. This is because the students would have a genuine interest in what they were doing. If summer projects were student-designed, then the students would feel more freedom, which would increase their interest in what they were meant to learn. This would lead to students putting in more effort into their project, which will make the quality of the project better, and they would enjoy the project more.
When students enjoy the project, they tend to stress over it less. Summer break is meant to be a time where students shouldn't have to worry about the stresses of school. It should be a time where the students feel stress free, and free to do what they want. If the students get to decide their own projects, then they would feel less stressed out because the project would be on their own terms. They would get to decide what they wanted, and how they wanted to do it. This would cause less stress because the students would become their own teachers. They would get to learn without having to feel the stressful deadlines or requirements of the teacher-designed assignments they have during the school year. A student-designed summer project is be better for the students themselves because they wouldn't feel the stress that teacher-designed assignments bring during the school year.
Summer break is a time where students get to relax and not worry about the stresses of the school year. The break is meant for students to relax from school, but the majority of students relax too much and end up losing what they learned throughout the school year. The best way to solve this problem would be to assign summer projects that the students could do to maintain what they had learned in the school year, while learning more during the summer. Instead of these projects being teacher-designed, like all the work the students have already done in the school year, the projects should be student-designed. This would lead to students feeling more free, more interested, and less stressed by their projects. They would learn better as the students would genuinely want to do the project, and they wouldn't feel as if they had to do the project. It can be difficult to maintain what you learn from the school year, but if students got to design their own project, they would continue to learn throughout the course of the summer in a healthy, stress-free way.",,694,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

Home schooling is when a student does school at home with a parent or online. Some would say that home school is not right and that it is important to go to public school to socialize and make friends.
Students sometimes home school because they may have trouble learning with other people around. This could because of social anxiety when you have social anxiety it is hard to focus on learning when you always feel like someone is judging you. I myself do not learn well in a room full of people because I am always thinking of other things like, are they looking at me, I wonder what they are thinking about me, and all of these thoughts float around my head while i should be learning.
Bullying is very serious it can make someone want to be home schooled. When someone is getting bullied it is very hard to learn in school because you are worried that the bully is going to do or say something all the time. I was bullied once and I know that it is hard to concentrate on school when you are scared all the time.
A lot of kids have ADHD and that makes it super hard to focus in a public school. ADHD makes you concentrate on any thing other than what you should be doing and you get distracted easy. There is less distractions at home like you cant get distracted with talking to friends, you cant get distracted by what the other students are doing, and you will be on task because at home you will have someone to see you getting distracted and help you to not get distracted.

The Police i think is correct is Policy 1. I think police one is correct because not only the students sometimes need to call their parents to come to pick then up or pick up early or come bring their lunch, but also because is impossible to make everyone obey Policy number 2, even if is a school policy most people will ignore it, so I think Policy number 1 is harder to be ignored. And even if we have a Policy against cell phones students would ignore it if is at lunch time because nobody is there to tell them not to use it, and the school already have to much to pay so the school would not pay someone to look at those students who are using cell phones during lunch.
I think sometimes phones are problem while using during class, but if is in lunch or free time I don't see much problem, because you are not being rude, or interrupting anyone. So I think that sometimes phones are useful at school.
If we put policy number 2 at school it wouldn't make any bad things but students would still not following it, and lots of students would have their phone taken away or get in trouble because of their phones uses at school during lunch time or free time.

0B606C33AC4D,"Here in the United States, we have a problem of obesity. So one of the advantages of limiting car usuage is if we do get rid of cars, more walking would be involved, make the streets safer, and stop the polution of the air? Car-free cities seem to be more safe.
Obesity is a big problem in the United States. So instead of us just getting excerise of maybe 20 feet to walking to the car, and then the 45 feet to walk to where we need to go. Lets get rid of cars and if you need some where to go, then walk and dont be lazy and get some excerise. Excerise is not bad for you, and is actually very healthy. Walking is also a good way to relieve stress and get things off your mind. Sometimes people get mad or upset while driving adn there emotions get in the way of there driving and it ends up badly. So if we get rid of cars it would also decrease the number of accidents. When your walking and you get upset or mad you wont have to take it out on the car or anyone else around you. Walking instead of driving is a better motive especially when we have a high obesity rate. There are so many people in this world with insecurity issues and instead of them not doing anything about and wanting there parents to drive them to go hang out with there friends or go to the beach or whatever the thing is, walk to your friends house or walk to the beach that way you feel better about yourself when you get there and feel like you accomplished something and feel like you feel better about yourself.
In a lot of cities and or countries, there are a lot of ""non-safe"" streets. There are always car accidents, people dying in these car accidents, there used in some kind of violence. Car accidents are one of the most caused death. This is because people are in a rush so they have to do over the speed limit, people driving recklessly and feel that ""oh im cool"" or ""watch me do this"" and ends up in something that they thought at the time wouldnt of happened because they thought they had control. So if getting rid of cars would deffinetly dramatically decrease the number of deaths we have just by getting rid of the cars. Just think of how many lives will be saved! Most of the time thefts are not captured because they always have a run away vehicle to get a way. If we stop using cars, what are they gonna use to get a way? If they try using public transportation to get away, with other people on the bus, he would look suspicious, and get caught. The streets would be a lot safer, especially for adults that have children. Children get snatched up in what? A bicicyle? No, a car. So it would be a lot safer for kids and teenagers to go out and have a good time and not worry about a lot going around them.
We already have more pollution problems then we need. People just dont care anymore about how or where they live and they will just throw any kind of trash they want on the ground. So driving cars just helps the people already littering, the cars are just polluting the air we breathe. So instead of us Americans not giving a crap about what were doing to the wonderful beautiful planet we live on, we should start, and help, but not driving the things that pollute are air.
In a result of limiting car usage, Mr. Goldberg says "" Many experts expect public transport serving suburbs to play a much larger role."" So this means that by approving it this year, there will be more public transportation then people driving there personal cars. Getting rid of cars would decrease a lot of the problems we have now. Some of you might think, ""well what if we work for a living and need to get to work?"" Well, you can awlays WALK to the public transportation area. Studies have shown that Americans are buying fewer cars, driving less, and getting fewer licenses. This leaves us wondering, ""Has Obama passed peak driving?"" Is it gonna make us get lower in obesity, make the streets safer, and stop the pollution of the air?

7D5D980FD05F,"Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing. This allows students to learn in the comfort of their own home, without having to transport to a private, or public school. This may be convienent for parents who work on a busy schedule, allowing them to choose when and where they want their chilldren to learn.
Although online schooling my be beneficial to some children, it may harm their future.
With this being said, students would not benefit from being able to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing because they wouldn't develop social skills, they would have a hard time creating relationships with others, and they may struggle from lack of motivation and depression.
To grow as an individual, it is essential to surround oneself with others. This is because it allows individuals to develop skills that may make or break their future. These skills are called social skills, and they should be developed as a child. Social skills are important for student development because it allows them to communicate with the people surrounding them on an every day basis. Schools were intended to bring students together, allowing communication with one another, which is why it is so important for students to learn in grow in schools that are not online. Social skills may also be one of the biggest things a student can learn in school, and this is something that online schooling does not offer. Communicating with one another will allow students to work and learn together, creating relationships on the way. If students are not surrounded by others, they will have a difficult time creating relationships and friendships with others.
Relationships play a huge role in almost everyone's life. Whether their romantic, family oriented, or friendships, they are an important way to grow as an individual. Students who attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing may find it difficult to create relationships that are not family oriented because they are not surrounded by other students every day. While students who attend online school are in the comfort of their own home, students that attend schools outside of their home are comforted by the people surrounding them. This is why students who attend school outside of their home have a major advantage, which is developing relationships. Students will also get a sense of who they are and what they like when engaging and developing relationships with other students, which students who take school online will not be able to do. Most students find joy in creating relationships with others, so they are excited to wake up every morning for school. Those who aren't able to create bonds with others may lack that motivation to get up every morning, which may take a toll on their mental health.
Students who attend school beyond the comfort of their own household may have more motivation to get out of bed every morning than those who take school online. This is because the students who are enrolled in schools may look forward to getting out of the house and seeing their friends every morning, while the students who are enrolled in online schooling have to stay in, isolated from things beyond their household. This may cause harm on the mental health of the students taking school online because they may feel excluded from the world around them. Feeling excluded from the world around them may place a sense of loneless in their life, which may lead to depression. Students should be surrounded by others as they grow so they can maintain a healthy mental state, and be happy.
Critics may argue that online schooling has a positive impact on students because if they learn in an enviorment that they feel most comfortable in, then they will be able to absorb more information on a daily basis. They may also say that it is more managable for busy students, and that they can work their schedules around education. However, students who learn at home all their life will suffer from a lack social skills, and will have a hard time fitting in in the real world. This will cause them to have a major disadvantage from the students because they will have a difficlut time communicating with the people around them, which will definately have an impact on their future.

Vauban is a one of a kind district that cracks down on car use and promotes walking and public transportation. Heidrun describes this life as a happier one and that cars make things tense. There are advantages to this way of life such as a rexaled lifestyle and fewer pollutions.
Not having a car makes one persons life less stressful by making the internet a better way to communicate, having funner ways to transport yourself, and making it easier to access stores. Getting in a car to go to a freinds house is in most cases is a long stressful process that can be eliminated through a culture without cars that opens up Internet use to communicate instead.

""In this new approach, stores are placed a walk away, on a main street, rather than in malls along some distant highway"" (Rosenthal paragraph 6). To have less stress in your life it could be easier to live in a no cqar community that makes any store you need only a walk away from your house leaving you free of the harshness of finding a parking spot. Internet communication, alternate transportation, and walk ways to stores make a happier and healthier life for the average person.

Established in 2006, it prohibits street parking, driveways, and home garages, allowing car ownership but limiting parking to large garages on the development's edge, costing $40,000 per space. This innovative concept has led 70% of Vauban’s families to live without cars, with 57% selling their cars to move there. Emphasizing “smart planning,” Vauban is a model in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, a critical factor in combating global warming. The district, home to 5,500 residents, showcases how suburban areas can be more compact, accessible to public transportation, and less car-dependent.

NASA argues that aliens could be hiding their markings behind a haze. Critics argue that it could be a natural landform. NASA took a photo of the face and it appeared to look like a butte or mesa.

5967C9CB596A,"When asking for advice, you probably stumbled upon talking to one person or another. You should talk to more than one person at a time when asking for advice from others. It is good to do this because you can get different opinions on the subject and what to do according to it. This also helps build social skills and problem solving skills, both being needed to obtain better life choices. But when asking advice from other people, don't do just one and have an isolated one-sided opinion, instead, ask more than one person to get a more accurate choice on specific subjects.
If you're a nervous kind of person who doesn't have the courage to talk to others, practice talking often to improve yourself so you can ask anything, anytime, without going through an emotional breakdown. And plus, even if you ask one or two people, you still could have a slightly biased opinion. That's why you should ask about 5 to 7 people on the subject of choice to get a true non biased, open, honest opinion. Also, certain subjects require more or less people. Asking if you can eat something could just require only 1 to 3 people.
Even asking a lot of people on subjects count as big social interaction which is a great way to get into a job, or even start a business! Jobs especially, requires being socialite to even have a chance in getting the position of the job of your choice. But it all starts with asking before taking action. But it is most best to seek out many different opinions to get your own. for example, video game designers have to ask probably thousands of people before even getting close to releasing your games.
You always have to be sure to ask a lot of people so you won't do something bad and lead your life into total plummeting chaos and despair. Getting more and more opinions could lead not only to better choices, but to a better life in general. You should ask for advice by asking as many people as you can (usually about 5-7 people), for you might just be able to get a truthful opinion that only you can describe as well as being social. some more beneficial include having more of a variety of opinions to create an opinion of your choice which can prepare you for real life problems that you need to be prepared for.",,408,Seeking multiple opinions,Independent,"When people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person.

When you are talking with someone you shouldn't rely on tech to tell you how they're feeling, personally I think it's inhumane.

955C86F2C441,"Technologies nowadays can recognize emotions. The software makes out the 44 main muscles on your face in order to identify what you are feeling. They base it off of the 6 basic emotions. Technology now is so innovative that now we may be able to use this in classrooms to tell whether or not to change a subject or not when a teacher is teaching.
So all of this begins when a computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face; all 44 of the major muscles in your face. In the model all these muscles move like a actual humans. Dr. Paul Echman ,creator of the FACS, classified the face having 6 basic emotions- happiness ,surprise, anger,disgust, fear, and sadness. Each thing is accosciated with its own characteristic movement. Each and every single person has the same universal emotions on there face, they are all universal. Dr. Huang said that "" even tho individuals often show varying degrees of expression."" The real question is tho is how this can help us when it comes to school and teachings in the classroom. What I mean by this is that teachers could know when the students are not finding interest in a subject of a disscussion anymore. This technology can scan the room and see what peoples emotions are during the subject and if they are not good then the teacher could try a different approach and if that worked then they would know that is what they need to try for the next class. Everyone learns a certain way and if you have a class that has a majority of people that learn a certain way then you know the sense of direction you need to teach based on this technology.
Now that we know that everyones emotions come off the same way and that everyones reactions to things are relativly close, don't you think that this would be good in a learning enviroment? Every person learns a certain way and if you know this then why dont we use this technology in classes so the teachers know that they need to change up teaching styles or just come back to something a different way.",,363,Facial action coding system,Text dependent,"In the article ""Making Mona Lisa Smile,"" the author describes how a new technology called the Facial Action Coding System enables computers to identify human emotions.

With online school, students have the opportunity to create less stress around school and more time to finish homework. Students are also able to have more time for doing activities they enjoy, like extracurricular clubs and sports. Online school gives students the opportunity to get more sleep and have more time for homework.
Almost every high school student struggles with getting enough sleep. Many articles suggest that a child's brain is not ready for the day until 10am. Pursuing classes online gives a child more time to sleep, and creates a better learning environment so the student can be fully engaged for learning. Many students are involved in ACT and SAT preparation that is a necessity for their future. Online school will give the student more time to complete what they need. Teachers will also get an option to have more time to plan lessons for the children. Online school is very beneficial to students because of the extra time for sleep and homework that can take away from their daily lives.
Many students are involved in after school clubs, sports, and other activities that put a hold on their homework. With online school, these students will be able to have more time to complete homework, go to more club meetings, and participate in their desired sport. Video conference meetings with teachers will give them the ability to ask more questions and engage in the material more so they understand it and, consequently, receive better grades. Without extracurricular like sports and clubs, the stress piles on and becomes too much for children to handle.

Even if you don't know what to help with there are so many things that people in the school that needs help. What if you wanted help? Not a lot of people want to do recycling, tutor, even though you don't want to do those things, they still have to be done. helping people might also interfere with your favorite show, or the sports you play, but would you want to look back and be happy that you did something productive?
Everyone needs to think about that sentence, would you be happy if you helped any other person or would you think about, but that takes time, or i don't feel like it. Not everybody thinks about if you help somebody then you can change a life. For a lot of people that is good enough for some of them.
The main reason why teenagers need to help people now, is so they can know it better in the future. And if you help someone you aren't only going to make them feel better, you might feel better for doing something right.

BF86E37ABB2A,"Do you think that the use technology is valuable for detecting emotional expressions? well I think that it is not valuable for us. I will be naming some reason why in this essay. If you are intrested in knowing more of why it wouldn't be valuable for us please read on.
A reason that I think that this type of technology wouldn't be valuable to us because I don't think it is important to try to understand how someone feels or what emotions they are having at that moment. They probably wouldn't want you to know because if they did they would probably tell you. It's none of our business honestly, however how we be for sure that this type of technology would even work. There is supposed to be 44 major facial muscles in our face and the computer is supposed construct that using a 3-D model but what happenes if it misses a muscle and the calculations are all wrong. Then you wouldn't exactly know what they are really feeling. The computer would not be giving you the excat emotion.
Also, There is a mucle called orbiculars oculi pars palpabraeus that makes crow's feet around your eyes, so if computers scans someone's face that has that then the computer would give out false information about the person is feeling just because of the face when this person could really happy. Another muscle that is created is called the risorius that could put on a false smile that make your mouth skretch sideways creating a smile that could make you look happy when your actually sad. The computer could also scan a person like that and would again give false information. I believe that the computer can be wrong because everything won't be correct as they should be.
Another way, is that a person could just not smile at all like how Mona Lisa was once before and they could be extremly happy, but if a computer were to scan how that the computer would give results of sadness but that is not actually how the person is feeling. Computers just can't calculate how a person is feeling 100 percent of the time and be correct about it. Yes, a computer can communicate with humans but not emotionally. This is a new type technology can have it's ups and downs but I think that it will have more downs than ups.
However, another mucsle called frontalis pars lateralis could make you seem suprised just by raising an eyebrow but that doesn't always mean your confused or shocked it could mean many other things. The computer can calculate that your confused just by raising your eyebrow because it could calculate your face expressin not emotion. Facial expressions are universal and could all mean different things and a computer wouldn't clearly be able to tell how someone is feeling. Dr. Huang observed the artist da vinci for human anatomy to help paint mucsles precisely but his software only have similar anatomical information as electronic code, so his software doesn't the exact electronic codes it need so it could be wrong about how people are feeling.
To hence, I don't think that technology to read emotions are valuble because the computer could be wrong and not give the exact emotion, it could falsly give how someone is feeling due to a muscle in a persons face to make them look a certain way, and that the computer could not create the exact face because it mioght miss a muscle and give the wrong expression.

C86149D0B9FD,"Technology runs rampant in this modern age. Some embrace it, some fear it, but most people accept it as a tool- a means to an end- and a way to make life easier. This tool most notably affects the lives of the youngest generation, since they grew up surrounded by screens. Texting, typing, and searching are all second nature to Generation Z. As ""Gen Z"" grows, the world grows around it, moving and adapting with an increased reliability on technology. New traditions, inventions, and methods rise to meet a technologically advanced society. In schools, (the territory of Gen Z), there is an influx of 'distance learning,' or online classes. These courses are an amazing benefit to students because they offer a wider variety of subjects, cater to students' ambitions, and allow for students' physical limitations.
Across America, small, understaffed schools struggle to teach their students. While these schools can offer essential classes, such as academic English, history, sciences, and mathematics, some are unable to provide more flavorful classes like creative writing, human geography, or computer science. Some schools even struggle to teach advanced core classes, such as honors, IB, or AP. This is because such specific or advanced classes require qualified and specialized teachers- a resource some areas simply do not have. This restricts these students, since they cannot take classes relating to their personal interests, or classes with college credit. Through distance learning, these students could have the opportunity to take classes their schools don't offer. This benefit isn't restricted to underprivileged areas, however. Specialized teachers (or even professors) provide courses on a wide variety of interesting, challenging subjects that are not found in high schools, or even most colleges. Students can take online courses from influential entities like NASA and Microsoft, and earn college credit at the same time. Distance learning dramatically increases the scope of education and gives students learning opportunities they would not find otherwise.
Some students have bigger goals than their schedules allow. In my sophomore year, I decided that I wanted to take AP Physics in my senior year. This meant that I had to take a physics course in my junior year, but I did not have enough room in my schedule, since I also needed to take economics to graduate, and I wanted to take chemistry. I notified my counselor and decided to take my Economics/Personal Finance class online, and free up an extra slot. In the spring of sophomore year, I was taking eight classes, instead of the standard seven. While this added to my workload, it enabled me to take both physics and chemistry in my junior year, and AP Physics my senior year. With distance learning, I expanded my schedule and took classes that interested me, and not just classes that were required.
Outside of ambitions and location limitations, some students are physically unable to attend classes they enjoy. Life often takes control, and injuries or illnesses stop students from attending school, or taking more rigorous classes. My aunt has a physical illness that makes it very hard for her to attend stimulating events. Things like concerts, birthday parties, and movies all overwhelm her senses and cause tics and seizures. This manifested in her junior year of high school, and she was out of school for all of second semester. This would have severely harmed her chances of getting into college or graduating on time. Fortunately, she was able to get tutors and supplementary courses, so she was able graduate, and even got a large scholarship for her grades. Her last few years of high school were long and difficult because she could only learn when she was feeling well enough to interact with another person. Her illness dictated her schooling by limiting her ability to talk to people and listen to pages turn. Unfortunately, this was before online classes were widespread or accessible. If she had taken online courses, she would have been able to do work and study, even when she was unable to talk to people. Her same situation is reflected across countless lives- students' bodies are unable to handle the school environment, so they struggle to get the same education as their in-school counterparts. Distance learning helps to alleviate this issue by providing a self-paced environment with the same material, testing, and teachers, without the taxing physical environment.
Perhaps the largest issue raised regarding distance learning is time management. Teenagers are notorious for procrastination, which leaves two options- easier courses or millions of disappointed parents. The self-paced nature of online classes provide seemingly endless opportunities to stave off work in favor of video games. However, this is a non issue. Students taking online classes face the same requirements as their in-school classmates, just through a different medium. While it is much easier to avoid work without a teacher present, students' grades will still reflect their effort and performance. Just like in a normal classroom setting, hard work is rewarded, and procrastination results in failure. Students using distance learning will effectively learn time management and responsibility if they want to succeed. If a student is likely to fail in an online class, they are just as likely to fail in a classroom setting. It's all mindset.
Distance learning is on a rise, fueled by a boom in technology. Some schools embrace it, and some reject it. Either way, distance learning is a huge benefit to students. With a longer list of course options, openings for schedule flexibility, and a broader availability to physically restrained students, online courses help students to learn and grow, and pick up good time management skills along the way.

56DDE8F7EF4B,"Summer school: two words that don't belong together. Hardly any student enjoys doing assigned work over break. In the eyes of many pupils, summer projects are not very beneficial to developing the mind. Although the theory of the work may be sound, the excessive watch over the students is not the best way to support them; instead, they should be able to take control of their own learning. Summer projects should be student-designed so that they are able to learn about topics that interest them, which can be used later in life, rather than being walked through a uniform topic simply related to the curriculum.
If students are allowed to design their own projects, they are more likely to choose a topic of interest to them and be motivated to learn. Imagine you have a cluttered bedroom, and you begin to tidy up. Then, only a few minutes after you begin, just when your frustration is dissipating, your parent yells from another room, commanding you to clean your room. All of the energy that was there, the appeal to work, simply disappears as you realize that they did not have enough faith in you to expect you to complete the task without a reminder. Similarly, teachers are always assigning reading or projects to continue learning during summer, forgetting that students learn on their own. As time is freed up, children can learn by reading, traveling, visiting museums, and observing the world around them. Kids are naturally curious. In the classic comic strip
Calvin and Hobbes,
Calvin is constantly bored with school. It's clear to the reader based on his large vocabulary and vivid imagination that Calvin is very smart, but he doesn't do well in school because he is constantly being forced to learn addition and word problems when he'd rather be learning about space, or the Tyrannosaurus Rex. Everybody is different, so the topics and skills taught in school may not come easily to all. Because each individual has a unique skill set, they cannot all go after the same occupation, nor can they use the same information taught in schools to support them throughout their life. This is why it is so important to use summer projects as an opportunity to have the students be in control: so that they have an opportunity to do what they are good at and will be motivated to develop knowledge about things that will be helpful to them later on in life.
As students are able to learn about a topic that they enjoy, they will gain experience that will make them stand out when pursuing a future career. Many people do not enjoy their jobs. Although some do, it seems to be a somewhat common trend that the people who love their jobs had to do more work to get them. This correlation suggests that in order to do what you enjoy, you should begin learning about it at a young age to create positive working skills and higher education. An earlier start will give time to develop your knowledge on a topic, and the better you are at something, the more likely an employer will want to hire you. Perhaps if teachers assigned a summer research project, provided outlines, but allowed the students to choose the topic, they would be able to be guided but still delve deeper into something that interests them. Some might argue that teachers have the right to choose a project topic so that it is related to the curriculum, but students need to become independent and be able to learn about a topic important to them without a teacher spoon-feeding every little fact. Independent learning will allow for children to build up information on a topic and eventually use that knowledge to follow their interests to an enjoyable occupation.
It can be hard for teachers to let go and allow children to take charge over their summer break, as teachers want their students to succeed by being the best they can, but sometimes it is a necessary sacrifice. Teachers exist to essentially ""train"" students for thr real world. If this is true, then they should think of summer as a practice round to test if the students can retain past information while still making discoveries to widen their minds themselves. Making summer projects mostly hands-off for instructors will mean that students will be respected enough to take charge of their own learning. If students design their own projects, they will be able to learn about things that interest them and that will help them advance later in life as they acquire knowledge that will make them stand out while working towards their desired careers.

1CA539E21E08,"In the world we live today, almost everyone owns a car; or even two. The amount of people in the streets going to work and to school is excessive. This is a real issue that is almost not discussed. There are cities in the U.S. that have more cars than there are people in the city, like in L.A., which is something excessive. It would be good to not use cars once in a while. That's why, some countries are doing an event every year where they don't use cars all day. And they'd have to pay a fine of 25$ if they violated the rules.
We have been using cars for a long period of time, and we will keep using them for much more, but it would really help if we did not use them as much. Because sometimes there is so much traffic, is better to walk. When you own a car, you get stressed out. We all hate those ""Bad Drivers"" and we get angry when they are stopping us or blocking our way, and that gives us stress. Sometimes you relay so much on your car that you even use it to go around the corner, and this does not help your economy at all.
Driving so much isn't helping the environment either. A lot of european cities have smog due to the pollution of so much cars, so they were forced to ban all cars that had odd-numbered plates from driving.

BA0DC6904621,"Missing out or being absent to a class can affect a student immensely. It could cause their grade to go down because he or she was absent. Many students are marked absent daily not because they are skipping school, but because they might be sick or even outside of the country for certain purposes. They could miss out on important learning material in a certain class. Some schools are starting to help out students by offering them a
Distance Learning program. This program allows students to attend classes from home through video conferences, or online. Many might say that with this program, students will become lazy and not attend school leading to a decline in student attendance. If you put it in a student's perspective, it will help them. Offering students an option to attend school from home through video conference is beneficial for them because now they will be caught up with the rest of the class, students can now stop worrying about missing work, and it will help students with illnesses or injuries that don't allow them to attend school.
Knowing the material that they are a teaching you in a class is very important. It can help you get a good score on the unit test, and on the final exam. This program can help those students who can't make it to school to catch up on the material that they have missed. The student can attend through a video conference or can find the material on the class page online. If a student still needs help, the teacher can then help the student when he or she next attends school. Students will now feel more confident and assured when it comes to a pop quiz, or the unit test.
When a student misses a class, they have missing work to complete. If students have the option to have a video conference at home to attend class, they can stop worrying about missing work. Many students have stress about missing work, and it is not healthy. Some might not even turn in the work because they feel discouraged to do it because they don't know how to.
With this program students will feel encouraged to at least try a problem on the worksheet. They will also know when to turn it in if it's a project. With that being said, students will feel more comfortable about missing work because they have the program to help them.
Another reason why this program is helpful is because it helps students who have an illness or an injury that forbids them to attend school. Some students do a sport after school and can suffer an injury. It could be a broken leg or a dislocated hip and that can make them be absent. With the program, the student can attend school from home and have the material that they are teaching on campus. It also helps students that are sick, they could have a severe illness that does not allow them to go to school. The
Distance Learning program will help them learn the material as well.
The
Distance Learning program helps out a lot of students because they are at the same pace as the rest of the class, they can feel less worried about missing work, and it will help students with illnesses or injuries that don't allow them to attend school. For students it is important to know what you are being taught because then you can ace your final exams. Being absent can affect your grades but with the help of the

A409EF8030EC,"Car usage around the world has skyrocketed pollution levels tenfold. In Paris, France they had to ban driving for 2 days to help clear out the fog in the city (Source 2). Some cities have even stopped using cars altogether, many of the townspeople believe that cars just cause more stress in peoples lives (Source 1).
In Colombia, the Day Without Cars is becoming more and more popular each year. It's a great way to lower stress and air pollution (Source 3)!
Since 2005, car usage in America has gone down every year, with less people getting a license and less cars being bought each year (Source 4). It begs the question: are cars growing away from our culture? Many people would rather use public transportation or car-pool with friends than drive to work or other activities. Public transportation traffic is woven into a connected network to save time, conserve resources, lower emissions and improve safety (Paragraph 43).

315FF786F120,"In the United States, people are very busy. With school, work, and extracirricular activities in the mix of ""everything else,"" Americans rely on an efficient and preferably fast mode of transportation, and typically, their first resort is car. However, while cars are extremely convinient, they are also very dangerous to the enviroment. Car usage should be limited because there are many advantages, including less smog, less traffic, healthier people, and reduced air pollution.
To start off, when car usage is limited, smog and air pollution are drastically limited too. According to the article ""In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars,"" cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe, and up to 50 percent in the United States. This is a major problem in many different parts of the world, yet people still continue to always resort to cars, though they have many other options. Transportation is the second largest source of America's emissions, just behind powerplants, and the pollutution that comes from it is most detrimental to the enviroment and ourselves. If we limit car usage, we will drastically reduce air pollution.
Furthermore, when car use is limited, it is better for humans. When people do not drive cars, they will sometimes walk, skate, or bike to where they need to be. This is exercise, so it is better for you than just sitting in a car. When people use other methods of transportation like walking, biking, or skating, they do not have to worry about being stuck in traffic for hours. Limiting car usage also saves money. When you do not drive as much, you do not have to pay as much for gas, or paying for parking. These are huge advantages.
In conclusion, there are many different benefits and reasons that we should limit car usage. We can walk, bike, skate, or even take a bus or carpool with other people. It will reduce air pollution, make people healthier, save money, and people can feel good knowing they are doing something good for the enviroment and themselves.

Mrs. Generic_Name
Block 1
As I walked through my door I noticed mom in the living room. She happily noticed me walk in as well, and asked what I had bought at the mall. I showed the shirts, dresses, and other accessories I had gotten.""They're so nice, maybe you can wear this outfit to the movies tomorrow.""I stared at the shirt I had bought a couple hours ago. It is the Teal colored one, with a open bottle of coke on the front, and my favorite pair of jeans I had gotten as well. I thought it looked cute so I decided to go ask my dad and sister. Dad was upstairs in his office doing his project when I walked in.""How was the mall?""He asked. I told him it was like any other day remembering quickly what I had came up stairs to do.""Dad? What do you think I should wear to our family movie night tomorrow?""He gave his opinion after I laid some of the clothes on the couch near by. He had picked the black dress with translucent gray sleeves, with a pair of knee-high leggings, and a pair of black pumps. I did the same for my sister and she decided to be herself, and posted the question on her sort of famous instagram account. People commented almost instantly, giving their opinions. After I decided to lay the most picked outfit choices on my bed. With the teal shirt and jeans, it does look cute but if it gets colder outside i'm lavle to freeze to death. With the black dress,knee-high legging, and black pumps it would be warm, and I would not have to do much with it either, just a little makeup and straightening or curling my hair. I decide to go for the black dress. The next day I got the dress, and accessories on. Did my makeup and hair, and my family, and I went to the movies, had dinner, and went to an arcade.
When people need advice weither it is on looks, talents, or even on something really basic like for example(Should I let my dog out for an hour a day?).Well it is good to get multiple opinions because you can get different points of view, You can see how others feel about the topic, and you can think about it afterwards about the pro's and con's.
For example, if someone is picking out outfits for a date she or he is going to it is good to have different side's of a story. If you get different sides of the story you can have more control on the option you eventually will have to make. You can also see the good and bad sides of each part of they topic, like if the topic is clothes they're more outfits to pick and choose from.
Seeing how others feel about a topic is good because, if you do not do so you could hurt someones feelings like for example if your wearing a dress or earrings from a dead grandmother your friend loved dearly you could hit a nerve or sensitive subject, and thats never good. For some people certain things can be political,or even just cruelty. People can be mean, especially to things like religion, sexuality, and just their likes and dislikes in general.
After everything is set in stone you can finally get your opinion in things. Back to the example earlier about the date outfits with this example you can see the last reason why. When you finally get you time to pick this is what most people do not think about, they only think about what the other's want, but a really important thing is if you like it. Most people should think about the pro;s and con;s of things like what would be good for the weather or what would look nice for dinner. It all depends on different things, and what event or style your doing.
when people need advice they should go to multiple other's to get their opinion on the topic because the person can see the different points of view, they can see how other's feel on the topic or subject, and they can think about the pro's and con's of each certain thing before choosing. Would you ask multiple people how they feel on a certain topic? Or would you not get specific opinions, and make a bad choice?",,733,Seeking multiple opinions,Independent,"When people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person.

F54BD89B665A,"Advancements in how we are providing education continue to grow in the number of options for how one is receiving their education, Attending classes in school is a way that a majority of people receive their education, although some students are provided the opportunity and option to receive education outside of the typical school environment, this being options to learn from home. These options can include online courses, or a video conference. Students would not benefit from an education outside of the school environment as much as they would attending school, because being separated from a learning environment makes it more difficult to complete work and focus, participating in an online course allows for a lack of communication and ideas from other peers, receiving help from a teacher or an instructor would be more limited and restricted if one were to take an online course.
When working in an environment other than school, in this case at home, there is a removed focus of the student due to the setting they are in, and it may make learning more difficult in terms of concentration. Take for example, completing an online course. When students are at home taking the online course, they are placed in a more comfortable environment that lacks a working ambiance. Consequently, there is a greater chance that the student could focus their attention away from the work because of distractions that may include: television, chores, video games, and others. They may also more easily have the tendency to slack off and fall behind. While completing work at a school, students are surrounded by materials that place them in the mindset of their education, and provided help and support that encourages learning and success, rather than the at home comforts. Fortunately, at school there are a limited number of things that will focus ones attention away from what is needed to be completed, and done to the fullest potential with effort. In a working environment the encouragement to learn not only comes from the instructors, but also the other students that also attend the school.
Provided a student takes a course outside of a school, they are not always given the opportunity to have other peers around that are earning the same education. Some may claim that independent work is a better option, but what is so beneficial from attending a school is that students are exposed to other ideas developed by other students, and can participate in engaging discussions to make further achievements. Through these shared concepts, students can learn and comprehend more information off of one another, and make connections through certain ideas that are shared in class. This is demonstrated not only through group assignments, but through the participation of students during a class lesson. When a student is called on to share aloud, they are sharing an idea that may benefit someone else's learning experience, and help with their improvement and understanding of the curriculum in the class. School group projects allow students to share their ideas towards one another and further their comprehension of the relevant information. The students may develop a new way to perceive the topic, which, beneficially, is crucial for their success in the course and in the future. Ideas are not only defined through other students, but are defined through the professionalism the teachers carry in the course.
Students knowledge is generated through in person help from instructors, given that students struggle to make a connection and perceive the topic. Online courses do not give the opportunity for students to ask engaging and purposeful questions to help them make achievements. If students who are participating in taking an online course at home begin to struggle in a course, the lack of communication from someone who is experienced may further complicate that situation; however teachers i school direct students primarily to succeed in the course, and are willing to provide all the help necessary for a student's success. Even if students are taking a course through, for example a video conference, they still are not gaining the same help. If a video conference lesson was for a math course, it would be complicated for a teacher to view the mistakes made on practice that a student completed, and directly present to them what they did incorrectly. Teachers roles are to expand and elaborate on topics, so a student is able to gain a full understanding of the curriculum necessary for a test, or a future assessment. Those who are taking a course at home do not gain that full elaboration or background knowledge as a student who is receiving in person instruction would.
It is crucial for a person who wants a full and purposeful learning experience to attend an actual school. Although some may make claim that taking a course at home provides for more personal time to complete other necessary tasks, and can learn the same information as those who are attending an actual school, those that are not educated in a school aren't receiving the same fulfillment and educational opportunities as those who are educated in a school environment. Some may also believe that at home courses aren't as complex and are more flexible, but they allow for more mistakes, and less knowledge gained through them. Schools are not only beneficial but are crucial success not only in the courses they are taking, but in future roles, whether that be, for example, in a career, or becoming financially stable.

351D13492B8C,"Phones & Driving
Nowadays, most people have a cell phone and use them in everyday life. People own cars as well. Imagine mixing the two, phones and cars, using the mobile devices while driving. That doesn't seem so smart but most people do it anyways and it's very dangerous. ""Why is it dangerous?"" you may be thinking. Maybe you're just changing the song playing because it's an annoying one that just started and you don't liked it, maybe someone texted you, maybe your mom is calling you. As simple as changing the song, texting back, or talking to someone on the phone sounds, it's very dangerous. Doing so is known for causing most car accidents today, if the impact is bad then it could lead to death.
Using a mobile device while operating a vehicle is illegal and you'll get pulled over for it if you get caught by a cop. As bad as it already is, yes, hundreds and thousands of people still do it every single day. Maybe the person doing so didn't get pulled over or didn't get in a car accident, but one never knows when that is going to happen. That day can happen sometime today, or tomorrow, or sometime next week. Whether one is bored in traffic, it's still not a good idea to be using the phone.
As for having a hands-free Bluetooth device, that's the only possible outcome for one using a cellular device while operating a vehicle. A Bluetooth is a source of operating a connection between anything, in a vehicle, most people use the connection for their phones so they can drive without touching their phone so they don't have to let go of the steering wheel. Having a Bluetooth is a very helpful and beneficial device to have inside a vehicle.
People tend to think you should be able to use your phone while driving, not for texting or phone calls, but for directions or a GPS. If one is using their phone for directions to a place then that should be okay. They don't have to be holding their phone as well which is even better. The person with their GPS on, can purchase a phone stand or phone holder that they can install inside of their vehicle. The benefit of having this is that it's both safe, and affordable. With the stand/holder being safe, no phone has to be held with one hand and the other on the steering wheel. One will just have to glance at it for a second or two so they're aware of where they're going. As well as being affordable, it won't hurt purchasing one from your nearest store, it's found inside many stores and pharmacies. Some cars nowadays come with a Bluetooth installed already in the car, so if one's car has it or not, there should be a consideration in purchasing one.
In conclusion, using your phone while driving is very dangerous, but that's why there are Bluetooth and hands-free calls now which makes everything better and safer. Drivers should not be able to use cell phones while operating a vehicle, unless they have a Bluetooth device, which either way, they have to be safe and careful for their safety.

67204B22ED12,"Human beings have invented some amazing technology, one such example is the smartphone this device plays a role in the daily life of everyone who has one, whether it be for communication, GPS, or even paying for store bought goods, however should these same devices be used while on the road? The answer to that is no, a smartphone offers too many distractions such as social media, games, videos, and much more. This is evident by recent laws such as the hands off law, which prohibits drivers from touching their device while driving. This is also evident by car accidents caused by one or more drivers being too occupied by their smartphone. With this being said, smartphones are definitely a hazard while used on the road.
Social media when used on a phone can be a wonderful thing, it keeps you in contact with friends, family, and even your fellow co-workers, however, it can also be a major distraction. As humans use social media chemicals in their brain are released, these chemicals are called dopamine, and in humans it's what makes us decide we like whatever we're doing, thus a habit is formed. This habit if not controlled can lead to constant checking of a person's phone, including when in the car, which could lead to catastrophic accidents and even death while on the road. This and the added distractions of potential passengers could create an even more dangerous environment.
Gaming can be a great hobby despite what people say, this includes mobile games, but they can also be a great distraction on the road. The same chemical mentioned earlier is released when you play games, it's what makes them entertaining, and for some people it makes them need that one last level on Candy Crush or to complete that one last quest on games like Clash
Royale. Some people decide to do this when driving, once again endangering their fellow drivers, as well as any passengers in their car. This helps prove the point of smartphone use shouldn't be allowed in the car because there have been plenty of car and motorcycle accidents due to this. The more people want to do something, the greater the release of dopamine is when their craving is finally fed.
Some people like to play videos in the car while they drive, while that's ok for some people to do, there are still exceptions to this. People who have low attention spans as well as people who like to pay more attention to the video rather than the road are more likely to crash than someone who just plays music from their phone in the car. The reasoning behind this is simple, a music video is more likely to be watched than someone simply opening a music streaming app and playing the song. Other people like to watch movies or just normal YouTube videos adding to the risk factor. This all leads to the hands off law.
The hands off law, as mentioned earlier, outlaws the use of any type of cellular device while driving, creating a safer environment for all drivers. Some people may ask, ""What if the police don't catch everyone who uses their phone while driving?"" That can only be helped by us humans putting down these devices while on the road, while there are laws in place, not everyone follows them, and officers can't always catch everyone. This leads back to the starting statement, no, smartphones should not be allowed while people use the road, because as human beings, no matter who you are, you can still be distracted by your device.

12660C832798,"Finding a good friend is like getting a box of chocolate, you obviously don't know what they bring with them ; When people ask for advice they sometimes talk to more than one person. Seeking advice can be easy but following or or making a good decision from it could be a little tricky. In my response I agree to asking multiple people about advice for you can get different opinions, less stress by asking someone who has had experience with a situation and, also ask someone who might not be as close with you just for you to make a easier decision about things.
To began with, asking multiple people for advice can be less stressful in some way. For instance, you and your best friend are having a disagreement and you ask someone for advice about it but they tell you to just let it be. You are not necessarily going to just let it be like that you would obviously want to fix things. So you ask another person what they think about the situation and they say to talk things out between you two. You will think about the advice that person said and what the other person said, and think about which advice is better for you to follow.
Secondly, when you are scared to go trough something you have not done before and you are nervous. It is sometimes better for you to communicate with people who have gone through the same and something similar to it. For example, If you had an accident before and the result of that happens to be for you to have surgery for the first time. You would be nervous or even scared, not knowing how it feels after the operation. For a person to not feel like this would be to talk to a person who has gone through it before by their experience towards it. It can also help you be more confident in yourself and be less nervous.
However, asking for advice to your closest friends might or always be the case. Some people have the idea in mind that since they are your best friend they will say what you want them to say. But it does not always go like that, For instance, you get accepted to a university you had applied for a while back. however, in order for you to go you will have to leave your best friend, so you ask advice but they end up saying for you not to go because they do not want you to go and they will miss you. Later on, you talk to another friend of yours for their opinion and they tell you to follow your heart and do whatever you have to do to follow it.
In conclusion, It is better for one to ask different and multiple people about how they see things for it brings to more easier decisions upon yourself, less stress about over thinking about it and, gives you an idea of what you actually want.

1DB195AA7BE3,"Well the best option for my is what you attend the classes from home by way of online .
My reason or my thought is, what you cant learn, in online classes, and thought what you can do it , doing others wor,k in you free time, and the school has good ideas for student what take, classes like after school just in home . So in my position is that because if you work so is you cant take the class for one hours, and you work ,and is more benefit for myself but ,each person has diferent ideas .
Examples:
If you not have work is more time for you ,for what you keep doing you class online.
If you wnat the class . you has more time for to think best for work online and make a good work and your class.
With this examples are much more for what you take any option or my option what is the best or most better already is in you home .
If you not have time like time complete is for that what you take this option ya what has work and not time like for stay in the school all the time .
Others examples is whent you have 18 year old has to much resposabilities and others case it 's not easy .
I think whent a teacher said you need that class is for one reason, and you nedd take that class but you cant took with you teacher what, is most better for you. So and my opinion or my position is take class from home in online, and to much better what ,take video coferencing.
One reason because im take that option is because in my home is relax, and with food and alone and not voices and nothing, and in my home take my time for think most better i think is the most important for my work in home and i think what the work in online is not easy so need my time for to think, and good ideas and good answer, and the idea is what you learn with any option you take for this case . The student in this time has more option for any problem . One reason for what i take this option is for the time ya what much student are major or not have much time for coming a school because the work or others case. Other reasons what the student take this option is beacuse is home not in other pleace ya what not has ride or cars for take that class or classes en other pleace .
My intentions is what others student take this option what is classes from HOME because is the best ,option for any case too if you want free time is more easy for you take this class or classes home by way of online, and is more choice that idea and minus dificult just what in home or online you not have teacher for explain any question so for that reason is little complicate but not impossible make you work so you cant do it , forever you want , nothing is this life is impossible but too not is easy everthing is sacrifice. Abd you has see you work good and past the class sin difucult .
My reference is the option class
FROM HOME BY WAY OF ONLINE. Is the best option and more benefif for learn in home, and more easy for the time or others problem and i cant wait what everthing stay good for my cass or classes .

CED4ADA9A012,"To the Principal ;
I think that community service is an important job and should be taken seriously, but others may not. I think you should make community service optional for many reasons, one being the fact that some people may not like it and just bring negativity to the whole process. I think community service should be a good thing and no one would want a negative person there, bringing everyone down with them. Also the people volunteering wouldn't want a negative, unwilling person brought there by obligation instead of pure will helping out if they really wont help anyone. Another reason I think that community service should be optional is, that the people being forced to do it may just skip out and leave.

632998A6072F,"What would make the students feel about attending classes from home, instead of school? Students attending to class everyday early in the morning can be stressful. Especially if students don't normally attend; their attendance can effect their grades. They will not learn from anything by the distractions that are going around in public schools. It is best for students to stay focused and concentrated to be successful. Otherwise they will not learn the education they need.
Homeschooled can be the best option for students. The reason why, is because there isn't a schedule to follow. The main important reason about home school is that the students will stay concentrated and should complete all assignments in a less distracting environment. Students will not have to stress over load of work because there will be plenty of time to be able to complete them. Some students have trouble working at a school because they cannot understand the material at the pace set by teachers.
Students complains about having to do homework for one night and not having enough time to complete them. Homeschooling will allow students to work on their own pace. Students sit on a desk for 6-7 hours everyday. They have limited of time for eating and using the bathroom. It will make the students feel pressured about the rules. Such as how to properly dress for example. Homeschool doesn't have any rules to worry about other than students getting their studies.
Public schools can be very difficult to handle as a student. There are bullying, physical fights, accidents may occur, and also on lock down that isn't a drill can be very dangerous. Students should go to school just for the education and have to not worry about any problems. Students should feel safe at a public school. Homeschool should be the safest environment without any worries or problems.
Homeschool is for the benefit of students to pass all of their exams and to also have good grades. Students are staying on task on every assignment that counts. Students should feel comfortable without any rules involved. Public schools and home school are similar, but home school is nothing but getting your education.

6402C64B1444,"To the principal,
Your new policy about sports and other extra-curricular activities is a very good plan.
However, many students will not benefit from this plan.
Most of the students have a C average, and if you put your policy into effect, they may not be able to do many after school activities.
Though your policy will encourage students to strive for good grades, it may not work.
You would be taking away opportunities for them to broaden their horizons and grow to their full potential. I am writing to advise you against this new change in the policy.
Many students enjoy the sports and clubs that they are able to participate in.
However, if you change the policy, students with a grade average below a B will not have this opportunity.
Therefore I do not agree with you changing the policy.
Students will not be able to do some of the activities provided to them.
This would not be fair to the majority of the student body.
One specific reason I do not support your new policy is because many students try their hardest, but simply just cannot maintain a B average.
If you were to take the average of all of the grades of the entire student body and average them together, you could make that the requirement instead.
That way all of the students have a goal that they can actually achieve.
Plus, they have a reward for maintaining their good grades.
Though your policy would encourage students to keep good grades, there are some students who just are not able to maintain a B average.
Many students enjoy the opportunity to expand their horizon and learn new things.
Nevertheless, if the policy is changed, that opportunity may be taken away from some of the students.
Then they would not have a chance to grow and learn new things.
Isn't that what school is supposed to be all about?
Learning new things, taking chances, and making the best of you opportunities?
If you change the school's policy on extra-curricular activities, how will they ever achieve that?
Students need to have a good academic standard, but they also need to have a chance to grow and explore new things. With a change in the school's policy, many students may not have the chance to explore the world and discover who they are.
Sports and clubs provide a good start for students to discover what they are good at, and then take it one step farther and discover what they want to do with their life.
If they do not have the opportunity to discover this, then what is the point of sending them to school?
School is supposed to provide a way for students to do something with their life, and if they do not know what they want to do with their life, then what will they do in the future.
People need a way to prepare themselves for what lies ahead, and if they don't know how to deal with it, then their lives could be changed forever.

EE1661BF8227,"Many school systems around the world have already started offering distance learning opportunities for their students in order to expand their opportunities to learn. These opportunities allow students to attend some of their classes from home through online resources or video conferencing and save them the hassle of attending school for the classes they wish to take. Schools should offer distance learning opportunities as they allow students to teach themselves how to self learn and allow students to take extra classes that they wish to take.
Firstly, a benefit of distance learning is that it teaches students the ability to self learn which is a key skill needed in order to succeed in life. Self learning is essential for people when they advance to the collegiate and professional levels as much of the information that they need to learn is not being taught by professors or superiors, but is instead being self learned by an individual to the point where they are comfortable with the information they have learned. Distance learning classes teach a person these skills in the earlier stages of learning as they allow students to learn the information without the physical presence of a teacher to constantly hand them information while allowing the presence of a teacher through the use of email or video conferencing to clarify doubts that students may encounter when they are learning. Self learning is a skill that is also important to apply in a person's daily life as they have to constantly figure out what they may be weak at and learn how to improve themselves without the guidance of another person. Without the opportunity for people to learn how to teach themselves at an early age and think about ideas on their own, many people will fail to advance in their adult lives as they do not possess the skill to advance in life without someone constantly guiding them.
Secondly, distance learning classes allow students the opportunity for students to take extra classes and expand their knowledge. Many schools only offer a handful of classes that exist which limits the opportunity for students to take classes about topics they wish to learn about. Distance learning classes allow students to broaden their knowledge in topics that interest them as they extend the opportunity to learn past the classes that schools offer and in some cases even allow students to create a solid foundation for their collegiate education and professional careers. Some students in school systems that do not offer distance learning opportunities are forced to take courses that are required for graduation instead of courses that interest them and this takes away from their chance to build a nice foundation for their post high school lives. If all schools offered distance learning, it would allow students to complete their graduation requirements early and allow for them to explore their topics of interest in a year long course that would help build their knowledge in their field of interest for their later stages of education and eventually their professional lives. The offering of distance learning classes by all schools would allow for many students to build a foundation in their field of interest and allow for many professionals to work at their optimum ability.
Some educators, parents, and students argue that distance learning classes limit a student's ability to learn as a result of there being no physical presence of a teacher. This is understandable, but schools are only offering this opportunity to students who wish to explore this opportunity of learning and are not forcing it upon anyone. Students would also have the access to interact with an instructor to clarify their doubts during their learning experiences in a limited manner to resemble the later stages of education where students are required to teach themselves all the knowledge with a professor or a superior being able to clear any minor doubts. Even though many people question the decision of schools offering distance learning opportunities, they serve as a preparation for college and are only offered to those feel they can handle the task of teaching themselves.

053B8755A4FB,"Dear Principal,
You have listed two possible policies about cell phones at school. The issue is common among all schools, considering that children are texting in class. You have presented two very common ideas about cell phone usage; the first allows students to use their cell phones during lunch and other free times, while your second suggests banning students from having phones at school. While both ideas can be considered good, I personally believe that your first idea is the better of your suggestions.
If you ban the use of cell phones at school, it cannot stop the students from bringing them. You can stop children from using their phones on paper, but this would not stop them from using them. They could take out and use their phones when teachers are not watching, and use them without being noticed. And when somebody gets caught, they just get angry at the school and have their parents come up to the school to get back the confiscated phone. This will give you no progress, as students would still use their phones in class and just get them taken away. Even if they have the chance of getting caught, they would still text or call somebody if they felt that it was something important. also, students would have to use a school phone to contact a parent if they are sick or forgot something, and not all teachers allow students to use class phones. And if they do, a sick person might use the class phone, allowing the germs to spread, possibly putting other students at harm of disease.
If students are allowed to use phones some point in the day, then they might not use them as often in class. Students could then contact friends if they do not have the same free time as them, and are able to contact a parent or guardian if they are sick. This will cut down on students using class phones, and will help stop texting going on in class. If they believe they have the liberty to text during free times and lunch period, then they will be less likely to text in class. By giving them freedom, you are helping yourself because they are less likely to break the rules if they have something to tell their friends or family and they do not need to break the school rules to tell them really quickly. They would have time to do and say whatever they wanted to friends and family, and that would cut down on students getting in trouble during class. It would also reduce the amount of parents that have to come to school with complaints and to retrieve the item that was taken away.
This will allow students to fell as if they more freedom, treating them like adults. If they feel they are treated like a grown person, they might start to act like one. This could improve their studies if they stay more focused in class because they feel well respected. This could also help they pay attention more in class if they are not texting during the teachers lesson. The teacher can not always see if a student is texting, so the pupil could easily get away with it. During a free time, students would be able to get all of their important texts to their contacts, and be able to focus more in class. This will improve the grades of students, and help prevent students from being held back or failing a class. It could even keep kids out of trouble. If a student gets bored after finishing their lunch or while outside, then they could mess around and get in trouble. But if they were allowed the privilege of their phones, then they could avoid getting in by talking to their friends instead of goofing around.
Over all, I believe that banning phones from school is a bad idea. None of the students would follow the rule, and they would just bring them to school and hide them. This will get zero progress, and will create no change in the school environment. If you let students text during free time, it could keep students from texting during class, and help them focus more. By distracting the students while they are outside or have free time, it could prevent them from doing something to get them in trouble. And less people would be angry. You would not have angry students or parents coming up to the school to take back a confiscated item, thus not having to bother with any angry people. This is where I stand on the policies, but the final decision is up to you.",,778,Cell phones at school,Independent,"Your principal is reconsidering the school's cell phone policy.

97BE845E7D19,"Dear Principal,
I think that having cell phones is great, and being able to use them in school would be even greater. I also think your choices are great choices, but you always have those trouble makers who try to bring their phones into class with them. I think that using your phones during free periods and lunch periods is a great idea ,but did you think that some kids might text each other what answers they put on the test that not everybody has finished, including your friend that you are texting? I think that we should be able to have cell phones in school, but have them in your locker. You should be able to use them in the morning and after school, but once that bell rings they should be in your locker. I think that the second policy might be the best policy to go with. Although I think policy one would great, policy two is the more logical choice. I think though you should change it so that we could have them at special occasions, such as if there is a special musical or funny guest, if we have a pep rally or anything that is something like that, or if we have a free day to do anything(like the last day of school or if a lot of people are gone for something). If cell phones aren't allowed in school I would be a little upset but I wouldn't be heart-broken. School is a place for learning, but it is also a place to interact. We see our friends at school so why would we need to text them. To see what our assignment is in language? I think we can all wait the five or ten minutes where we wait for the bus or our ride until we can text our friend we just say less than five minutes ago.
I think that the choices you have are great, but if we could only have one I would pick the second policy. I think that the first policy gives us too much free will. Even though having free will is a good thing, having too much might not be such a good thing. After all you are the principal and have the last say, but I hope you take into considerate what I have written for you. I hope it will make picking the right choice even easier for you.
I know you will pick the best policy. Thank you for reading this. Have a great day.

B88543B512DE,"""I asked my neighbor for advice on how to keep track of my homework but her advice didnt really help me"" said Generic_Name. ""You should try asking more than one person for advice that will help you get better advice and more information"" said Generic_Name's best friend Generic_Name. Seeking multiple opinions can help someone make a better choice because, they will receive info from people with different points of view, people with different experiences, and they will get more advice from asking multiple people.
First off people will receive info from people with different points of view. This will help them because one person could have a different point of view than someone else. For example one person could have found that writing in your agenda was the best way to keep organized in high school whereas someone else might have found that keeping an online calender was the best way to keep organized. Also when asking people with different points of view you will get better information because if two people give you different information than you will have more than just one piece of advice to work with. For instance my cousin Generic_Name was having trouble deciding what advanced classes to take in high school so he decided to ask some seniors that he knows for advice. When he asked only one person he didnt get enough information so he had to ask more people for advice. He ended up getting different opinions and useful information.
Secondly people with different experiences will have different info or advice. When asking people with different experiences you will get better information because those people will tell you different info. For example if you are trying to get advice on what brand of car to buy and you ask people with different points of view you will get lots of advice. When you ask people with different points of view and they all give you the same advice then you will know the advice is reliable or true. For instance if every body you asked said that you should get a Honda as your first car than you will know that Honda is a reliable brand or one to consider.
Lastly when asking more than one person for advice you will get more advice than just asking one person. If you ask more than one person for advice than you will likely get more advice than when you just ask one. Because the people you ask will likely give you different advice. So instead of getting one piece of advice you will get two or three. For example say you were getting advice on how to remember to do all of there homework and projects in high school. When asking only one person you could only get some advice like putting reminders on your phone whereas if you asked two people you could get two pieces of advice, so instead of just putting reminders on your phone you would also keep a checklist of all the things you have to do for the week or day.
:""I am so glad I asked for more advice, it really helped me decide what clubs I should join,"" said Generic_Name. ""It helped me too when I was wondering what laptop I should buy"" said Generic_Name. That is why seeking multiple opinions can help someone make a better choice. They will receive info from people with different points of view, people with different experiences, and they will get more advice from asking multiple people. Overall I think getting multiple opinions from different people will help people make a better choice,",,597,Seeking multiple opinions,Independent,"When people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person.

2C44C3912AC9,"Although cell phones have not been around for a very long time, they have become a key part of our lives. People use their cell phones for just about everything such as texting, talking, schedule planning, internet surfing, etc. Sometime we can even do two or more of these things at the same time. Unfortunately, people are also choosing the wrong time to be using their cell phones like driving while being on it. As a society we have become so focused on how much we can do at one time that we are willing to risk our personal safety and health as well as others because we can't put our cell phones down.
Most people are guilty of using cell phones while driving. Although have we ever thought about it's danger? Five states plus Washington D.C. have hand-held bans and many states have bans for specific drivers. 60 percent of teens admitted to risky driving. Nearly half of those drivers admitted to text messaging while driving.
In April, 2009 in Houston Texas five children lost their lives when the car they were in lost control and slid into a rain swollen ditch. The driver lost control of the vehicle when he went to answer his ringing cell phone. The car went into the ditch and swept 100 feet down the raging current. The rescue team were unable to reach the car with the trapped passenger. Two adults and one ten year old girl were able to escape, but five children under the age of seven all passed away. You start to think to yourself is a cell phone worth all the dangers?
Another reason and perhaps a more tangible reason to ban cell phones while driving, is to prevent car insurance from rising. In society, money is tight when it comes to doing different things with the way the economy is now. If you can try being careful because the money you put towards careless accidents that can be prevented can be put to the light bill etc. The more the number of tickets you attract against your name, the higher the insurance will be. In recent studies companies are paying close attention to the link between cell phone use and car accident and many auto insurance websites warn of the distracted driving driving.
Insurance companies are just waiting for you to mess up so they can increase your insurance. Don't fall for it, your cell phone can wait till your out of the vehicle or when your parked. Especially with the new hands-free law in Georgia with some real expensive tickets so my best advice is to stay off your phone in the vehicle. The consequences are not worth it so just put the phone died. ",,457,Phones and driving,Independent,"Today the majority of humans own and operate cell phones on a daily basis.

AF320373DBAA,"Dear Principal,
I agree that students should have atleast a B average to join a sports team. I agree with your decision because students will keep their grades up to join, they can join in high school and be prepared, and students will have the chance to do something they like at a cheaper price. But I disagree with your decision also because if a student has a D in p. e., they can join a sports team at school for extra credit in p. e. and anyways, most students have a C average. So wouldn't that be a good idea?
So I agree with your decision because of three main reasons: students will keep their grades high to join, students can try out at high school and be prepared for it, and its cheaper for a student to join at school instead of signing up for a league. What I mostly like about this decision is that its cheaper at a school, but you still get the uniforms and trophies and things like you would get at the league, only cheaper!
Although on the other hand, I disagree with your decision mainly because students can play a sport for extra credit in p. e. and most students have a C average. It would really encourage students to join and raise their grades. It is also better this way so that students playing sports at school can earn more money for the school. So that is why I disagree with your decision.

2C8DBF4A98FA,"Many countries world wide have gone ""car-free"" due to either smog or other areas has simply banned them. Not only is banning cars good for the enviroment it is also good for the well being of the human race. In the following passages ""In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars"", ""Paris bans driving due to smog"", ""Car-free day is a big hit in Bogota"", and ""The End of Car Culture"" mention the finner points about why being ""car-free"" is benificial.
By far, Europe is once again ahead of the United States due to the fact that many countries dont use cars, but they travel to their next destination by train, tram, bus, and walikng. Unlike America, almost every one is using a car to get to their next place, and barely use a bus. According to the passage "" The End of Car Culture"" our own president of the United States is making goals to help improve the ""greenhouse gas emissions"" but just like the title suggest the end of cars are near. "" The United States, with its broad expanses and suburban ideals, had long been one of the world's prime car cultures"" researchers are noticing a decline in the buying and selling of cars nation wide. ""Demographic shifts in the driving population suggest that the trend may accelerate.""It has already accelerated in Europes biggest capitals the world has come to know and love.
Paris. The ""city of love"" or the city of smog, has banned driving due to record high reports of smog. ""After days of near-record pollution, Paris enforced a partcial driving ban to clear the air of the globla city"" according to the passage "" Paris bans driving due to smog"" smog in the ""city of love"" is not quite romantic as a city without smog. Paris alone ""... had 147 micrograms of particulate matter (PM) per cubic meter..."". Banning cars and fining people is one way to help clear the air of pollution, so their is more room for love, laughter, and happiness. ""Paris typically has more smog than other European capitals."" well maybe the smog and love can share the air. Lets travel all the way back to the Americas to see how the smog is doing there in the countyr of Colombia.
Bogota, Colombia located in South America has had its own little smog problems just like Paris. ""The goal is to promote alternative transportation and reduce smog."" a whole day of either biking, hiking, skating, walking,or taking a taxi and/or bus, to get to work or school. In the Passage ""Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota"" explains to us why we should stop using cars but rather rely on our body than a 3,000 pound peice of machinerery. "" The days without cars is part of an imporvement campaign that began in Bogota in the mid-1990s."". For almost 25 years Bogota, Colombia once a year celebrates a day to help reduce smog, and produce a happy, healthy, and smog free life style. ""'The rain hasnt stopped people from participating,'"" remarks Bogota Mayor Antanas Mockus. there may have been a few gray clouds, but that doesnt keep people form not supporting their own enviroment. Good Job to Bogota, and see what tricks Germany has up their sleeve.
Picture this: an upscale suburban community in Vauban, Germany; where soccer moms are taking there children to soccer practice, and big CEO executives are going to work. They're getting to their next destination not by car, because in this town of 5,500 people, nobody has a car because they have give up the life of ""Car Culture"". The passage ""In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars"", well truely they do. Who needs cars when you go to work by bike, train, skateboard, roller skates, or the traditional walking. ""Vauban, completed in 2006, is an example of a growing trend in Europe, the United States and elsewhere to seperate suburban life from auto use, as a component of a movement called 'smart planning.'"" What amkes this ""smart planning"" truely genius, is that everbody is totally cool with it. For ""the past two decades to make cities denser, and better for walking, planners are now taking the concept to the suburbs..."".

I'm much happier this way."" states Heidrum walter, a resident of the green suburban town Vaubran.
Many countries world wide have gone ""car-free"" due to either smog or maybe even banned them entirely. Countries all over the wolrd are seeing a difference in their community every day when they don't drive a car. not only is going ""car-free"" great for the reduction of smog, but you can live a happier, healthier, and stress-free life style; like most people have noitced from Bogota, Colombia to the small suburban town Vauban, Geramny.

Some people have the attitude that a car accident can never happen to them with or without their phones but fail to realize that is just not true.
Texts, social media, or another other phone alerts should never come before having your eyes on the road. Driving and phones are like oil and water; THEY DO NOT MIX!

Using your phone while driving is very dangerous and can increase the chance of an accident jurrasticaly.

A second reason to not use while driving is that it reduces your brain activity while driving. So even if you are using your phone and paying attention to the road your brain still doesn't work as well while driving. The brain isn't meant for multitasking and texting or holding your phone and talking to someone is a lot of work for your brain. So it slows down the brain activity you are using towards driving and puts it more towards you using your mobile device. This will reduce your reaction time and your full judgement. These are just some of the reasons why you shouldn't use your phone while driving.
Driving while using your phone is dangerous and can lead to an increase in a crash or misjudgement. Using your mobile phone while driving is illegal for a reason it is dangerous for you and everyone around you. But there will always be people who will use their phone and drive and not get hurt. But using your mobile device increases your chance to get into an accident quite a bit. Use your mobile device before and after you get out of your car not while your in it.

DD9E0D7DD506,"The Face? Created by Aliens or just a landmark?
Did you beieve that the ""Unmasking the Face on Mars"" was just created by aliens. NASA has given us many reasons to believe what they say, and not many reasons for us not believe them. I am a NASA researcher and I'm telling you why the ""Face"" is actually just a landmark.
There are many reasons why the ""Unmasking the Face on Mars"" is a natural land form. The first reason is that NASA took three different pictures, one picture was in 1976 in the picture you can't really see anything. Scientists just thought it was another Matian mesa. At this time the cameras weren't very 3D like. So how do we know it's an actual face?
The seacond reason it is a landform is because NASA
sent another crew to take more pictures of the ""face."" The crew took ten pictures that were sharper than the first one in 1976. In this picture you start to see something appear. They even say ""when the image first appeared on a JPL web site, revealing... a natural landform. People were not very happy when they heard it wasn't a alien monument.
Another reason is that they thought alien markings were being hazed. So, when they went back it was a cloudless summer. In the text they say ""Each pixel in the 2001 image spans 1.56 meters, compared to 43 meters per pixel in the best 1976 Viking photo. That is a huge difference from 1976. What the picture shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or messa.
If you really think about it though, how come they jumped to conclusions so fast? In the passage it says it would be a good way to engage the public to Mars. Wouldn't it just attract more people to NASA to though?
In many ways there are more reasons to why this ""Face"" is more of a landmark than anything. From the different years they took the years, to the landmarks being hazed. You could probably think of a lot of questions to ask NASA about the photos and what the scientists are saying, but until you go up to Mars we will only know what they are telling us. Which is that the ""face"" is a mesa. They clearly say many times in the passage for people to believe that they are not trying to trick you. ",,399,The Face on Mars,Text dependent,"You have read the article 'Unmasking the Face on Mars.'

C99E756A724F,"NASA has recently been discussing what is believed to be a face on mars. Some people think that this is some kind of alien marking. The essay says, ""scientists figured it was just another Martian mesa, common enough around Cydonia, only this one had unusual shadows that made it look like an Egyptian Pharaoh.""(paragraph 2) This may convince certain people to believe that there was once life on Mars.
While it may be true, the essay does not say anything about anyone actually getting on Mars to see if it was really just a rock. Maybe there were bones from a human body attatched to the head. Also in the essay it states, ""although few scientists believed the face was an alien artifact, photographing Cydonia became a priority for NASA when Mars Global Surveyor arrived at the Red Planet in September 1997, eighteen long years after the Viking missions ended.""(paragraph 6)
As a result, the essay also said ' ""we felt this was important to taxpayers,"" explained Jim Garvin, chief scientist for NASA's Mars Exploration Program.""(paragraph 6) So this statement could be implying that they could be making stuff up just for money. If they put that in the newspaper everyone would want to buy it, which would result in making a lot of money.
In addition, the essay says, ""only this one had unusual shadows that made it look like an Egyptian Pharaoh.""(paragraph 2) this evidence from the article supports my claim and says shadows made it look like something. It could also have been the way something was reflecting off of it.
In conclusion, I believe that this thing was just a natural landform. Many of us have seen weird shaped rocks sometimes we just dont pay attention. Also just like the sun forms shadows, that could have been what happened on Mars to make people believe they were seeing a human face.

6783CF0808E5,"The public school system has several benefits. One of the major ones is the fact that children ages 5-18 get free education. That being said, it can be hard for students to take a true advantage of the free education system because it can be quite strict. A major issues is school attendance. Most students are in school from 7am to 2pm five days a week which can become quite hard to maintain, especially when a student is out sick. Another issue is learning. In general students all learn differently and for the most part the public school system tends to only teach material in one or two different ways. Having classes from home could be beneficial to students by allowing them to be present even when sick, allowing them to be comfortable during the school day, and allowing them to learn in their own way.
Coming down with the flu or a common cold is something no person wants; it makes a person feel terrible and causes them to miss important events. In elementary school or even middle school coming down with a cold was never that big of a deal but as students begin to enter high school it can be very challenging to stay on track with work even if the student is only out for one or two days. Not only are they having to make up homework, classwork, and tests that they may have missed but now they have to continue to stay up to date with their present work; along with after school clubs, sports, and maybe a job a students can begin to fall behind extremely fast. With students having the access to classes at home this issue is barley a concern. Students will be able to see their lesson plans at any time of the day and have the resources to complete them correctly while doing it for their own bed. Now, having classes online doesn't mean that a student will want to finish all of his/her work while out sick, but it does reduce a lot of stress from their workload.
Being comfortable is a big part of learning, if a student is in pain, too hot, too cold, or anxious it can cause them to not comprehend materials as well as they could. Being around a large number of people, public speaking, group work, fights etc. are all reasons why students may feel uncomfortable at school. Wearing what they want, being able to go outside, eating what they want, using the bathroom when they want, and having the ability to take time to rest are all reasons why students would feel more comfortable in their own home. These comparisons don't speak for all students but in general being comfortable plays a large part in how people get work done. Making it beneficial for schools to have the option of accessing classes online.
Being comfortable physically is a important to a student's learning, but so is being comfortable mentally. This means a students should feel able to learn at their own pace and in a way they feel works best for them. Teachers all have different types of teaching strategies including just taking notes, interactive work, PowerPoint, group work, presentations, or combining all of these. For many students they may resonate with one of the strategies but what about the six other classes they take? One might excel in math because they find it very easy to understand the teacher but that same person might fail history because they don't understand the notes they are handed. With classes from home students don't have to take the risk of succeeding in one or two classes and struggling in the rest. Students will be able to see the lesson and find what works for them in order to understand the lesson. No matter if that is through reading, watching videos, playing interactive games, taking quizzes etc. the student will have the option to explore what works for them.
Even though there are a lot of benefits to having the ability to access classes online people may argue that going to school is still better for the student then staying at home. Public school provides the student with the opportunity to be social throughout the week, develop structure and authority in a students life, and show them responsibility. Even though this is true learning is still a different journey for every student. So, while some students may enjoy going to school others find it extremely difficult. Which is why having classes from home could be beneficial to a student because it allows them to be on top of their work even when out sick, comfortable while learning, and having the ability to learn at their own pace.

74495878DAA3,"Dear Mrs. Principal:
School can be very boring at times. With all the policies and rules we have to follow it makes it feel like we are in jail. Letting us have our phones out during free time we would all love. I think it would help us feel more comfortable, make us feel more responsible, and also it would let us communicate with friends that we don't see often.
My first reason for letting us have our phones out during our free time is that it would make us feel more comfortable. School is not fun at times and the clothes we have to wear we hate, but letting us have our phones out would make us feel like we are at home. That would make us more comfortable letting us concentrate more.
My second reason is it would make us feel responsible. I know this sounds silly but giving us this privilege would make us feel responsible. I believe this would causes us to work harder for the teachers because we have a more respect for them.
My third and final reason is it would let us communicate with our friends. We hardly get to see some of our friends through out the day. The only time we get to talk to them is after school and sometimes not for long because the teachers run us off. Letting us talk to them would make the day less stressful and fun.
All in all letting us have free time with our cell phones would actually help us learn. I know you probably don't believe me but being more comfortable, less stressed, and having fun actually helps us learn and pay attention more.

48FB3005F4DC,"Have you ever been in a situation where you needed advice from someone to help make a decision but wanted to handle it on your own? If you have before,you shouldn't have had to go through that alone, nobody should, and here's why, making decisions is hard and sometimes you may choose a wrong one so you need someone by your side to help you make a better choice and be there for you. Seeking multiple opinions helps you make better outcomes by having another point of view on the situation, knowing what others would would do in your position, and having people tell you if it's a good decision or a bad one and helps you see the outcome of it.
In the first place, having another perspective on an issue helps you know what they think is best to do. When they give you a reason behind that choice, it helps you understand where they are coming from and realize the outcomes of them. If you ask people who have been in the same situation before, they can help you and tell you what the right thing to do would be. They can help walk you through it and make you feel a little bit better knowing you have someone who has been in the same shoes you are in now. Having another person tell you their thoughts and opinions might make you think of things you might have never thought about until hearing their points about it.
Another equally important reason is that when you know what others would do in your position it helps you know how they would handle it and let's you think more clearly about it. When others tell you what they would do, it may help you realize that they made a better choice and you should follow it. If your friends tell you about why they chose that, it makes you think more clearly about what to do and how to chose the right choice. Asking them questions that you may have been thinking of but don't know what to do helps you understand more and helps you figure out what to do. Seeking multiple opinions about something to make a better choice and hearing what others have to say really helps you understand everything better.
Finally, having people tell you if it's a wise or unwise choice and telling you what could happen as an end result makes the stress ease off a little. When people tell you if it's a smart thing to do or not makes the process a little better because you can think on how to make a better choice and not lean on making a bad one. If others help you realize the outcomes that may occur of the situation, it makes it better to pick which one you would rather have. Knowing all the end results that may occur and the things that may happen between helps making a decision easier. When you have people who are honest about things and doesn't hold back on telling you if it's a good choice are good people to talk to when decision making.
As can be seen, asking for advice on things to multiple people is always a good thing to do. It's always good to have multiple opinions when making a choice and helps you make a better one. Having people by your side helps you and let's you have someone else's opinion on the situation, know what others would do in your place, and let's people tell you if it's a wise or unwise choice and the outcomes of them. Having people by your side and helping you in times of need helps make the situation better.

Distance Learning
Distance learning is a way for students to take classes at home online. There are many benefits for having this option for students. There are many benefits can help from not being overwhelmed, students can go at there own pace, can do other responsibly. For example regular school that you attend in person for some people can be too over whelming, they can still get a education but in a more conferrable environment. In relation to that students can take theyre time and not feel like they are being rushed, and being left behind. Students can go in there own pace whether that being fast or slow they can take there time so they dont rush, and actually learn the content. Lastly school takes up a lot of hours in the day, and some students have other responsibly and, or jobs they have to do. They might have to help out there family with various thing, or having enough money to be able to leave the house when they come of age. Distance learning weather being online or video chat can, be very beneficial and help relieve stress in students.
School of any kind can be overwhelming for some people, like the work load or the time given to gets things done. Some students can get over stimulated and overwhelmed in a regular school environment weather it being people , smells, or noise. Online school can help benefit these students by being in a more comfy, relaxing, or well known environment can can over all preform better. Some might say that these thing are good and will help prepare for life. In some cases this could be the case, but more than likely there are many jobs and options that don't overwhelm or over stimulate place. So distance or online school can greatly impact students to do better, because they are not in a environment that will over stimulate them, and in turn being able to learn better.
School that you have to go to in person has a lot of deadlines whether that be a project or homework. With online school or distance learning you would still have deadlines , yes , but you can go the speed most constable with you that either being fast or school. For some students when they feel rushed or is out of time to do a task, this can lead to sloppy, rushed, messy work. If students are not given enough time to complete a assignment or task they just might not get the work done or turn something in sloppy, half finished just too get a grade. With distance learning students can go the speed that they need to go that is better suited with them, and over all produce better work.
For many students, school is the not the only thing they have to do they might have a job, responsibly at home, or personal stuff to take care of. With distance learning it has more flexible schedule and being able to get more done in a day. Some might say that school comes first before anything else but for some this is not the case , many might be able to come have other responsibly that are more important than school and other things. Being able to do online school students can basically do it any where as long as they have WIFI, so this would free up time for students to do the other tasks they need to do. In person school can take up a lot of hours in the day where some might have to look after there family or get a job to earn money to move out. Online school can work better for some people because of there flexible schedule, but still getting a education while taking care of there needs.
Online school or distance learning can be very beneficial for the students who need it. It should be a option if students if they need it, because you never know a persons situation. The benefits of not being overwhelmed , students going at there own pace, and taking care of other responsibly. Having this as a option in our school will help student who ever wants it.

""The Evening Star,"" although being the brightestplanet and ""twin""of earth , proves to be a very challenging place to exiamine. ""The Challenge of Exploring Venus,"" is an article written by the author explaining the reasons of why exploration to Venus is very dangerous and why it wants to be explored by scientists. The article explains in much detail the dangers and possibilities that that could happen if th exploration could happen. It also gives brief information about how Venus is made up and the history of why is an intruiging planet. In the article ""The Challenge of Exploring Venus,"" The author supports his idea by using data based information, question and answer responses, and the history of exploration in Venus.
In the article, the author uses a lot of data based information to support his claims about the challenges of exploration in Venus. One of the most mportant pieces of information being about what type of planet Venus is and why it is dangerous. The author says ""On the planet's surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees farenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience o our own planet""(Paragraph 3). This briefly gives detail of how dangerous it is for humans to visit Venus knowing that the atmospheric pressure could easily crush a submarine that can withstand high pressures and liquefy many metals. This also supports his/her claims of why it is likely that the idea of exploring venus is impossible for these very reasons. Not only does this help support his claim; the information informs the reader about Venus and lets them know more about why it is a plant that NASA is very intrigued in.
In the article, the author uses a good amount of question and answer responses that help to inform the reader and support his claims of why exploration to Venus is dangerous. A good exapmle of a question that most readers will thnk of would be ""Why are scientists even discussing further visits to its surface?""(Paragraph 4). This question not only supports his claim but also gains the readers trust knowing that the author is very informed about what he/she is talking about and knows what the readers want to know about. Knowing that the author can recall much information about the dangers and expectations of further exploration to venus benefits his argument by gaining their trust and support on his claim.
Using the history of exploration in Venus helps support the authors claims in many ways. Knowing the history falls back into the subect that the author know whae/she is talking about and also allows the reader to know more about the subject. ""Vensu was probably covered largely with oceans and could have suppported various forms of life, just like those on earth,""(Paragraph 4). This piece of information breifly explains the reasons of why scientists value the research done with Venus knowing that it is very comparable to earth.

25B1E8E15BCB,"There are some schools in the country that allow and are trying to enforce Distance learning. They say that it would benefit the students because they would be able to access their classes online but in reality it would only give us more stress.
However there are some families who don't have the same benefits like everyone else. Won't be able to access the internet for the online classes and yes it may sound sad, but that is the reality we are living in. There was this classmate of mine, Generic_Name, we were given an assignment online and was due the very next day but he wasnt able to do it because he didn't have internet and so the teacher blamed it on him as if it really was his fault. Teachers are the ones wanting this because then they are just able to leave all the lesson plans online and say it due the very next day because we are able to do it at home. Kids come to school to learn, not to take everything at home and due it as if they have no life.
Meanwhile, Some schools are giving kids options to go to class and or take them online. The schools like to think the best about everyone but there will be some kids using it as a way to not do anything. Last class there was a student named Generic_Name and he came to English class late so he had to do the work at home and the teacher put so much trust into him just for him to go out partying and not get anything done. It is better to do things in class and in the moment we are required to do so. By schools giving the options some may take it to advantage and some might put the work in to it but it really comes down to the students and many would say to do it in class. There are already so many distraction here in school like; your friends, phones and even people walking in the halls, but the same goes for at home. Here at school you have the teachers enforcing the rules and at home its just you, so you don't really worry about till the very last second. Students should stay in class and do their work rather than taking it home and doing it there where they would get distracted so easily.
High school students have been known to have the exact stress levels as a person in an insane asylum and that is just from school work, but image if we started to bring school work home. When students enter their homes that is the time they are able to relax and release stress, not gain more. People dont really like to bring this subject up but by stacking stress onto stress is one of the main causes to suicides in high school. In high school we have take up to seven classes and that means seven the ties of stress, we take up all of our time in doing homework, sports and even work, why? because we have always been told that, you have to get a job to pay for college, you have to play a sport in high school to make friends. By doing homework, playing sports and working, no one has time to come home at like nine at night and have time to be with their families. The lack of family contact is another reasons of suicides and the thing stopping from getting the time and contact is school and extra homework. And giving us distance learning would only make things worse.
Meanwhile, giving students the ability to do things from home would be great, but they would be lacking in human skills. By doing everything online at home sets a wall between the teacher and student. They wouldnt know life skills because you and to learn all of that in school by learning from your mistakes. Distance learning is the same as a child being home-schooled by their parents, they would only really know how to act with them and the moment they get sent out into the real world they don't know how to interact with anyone. We need human contact with each other in order to be sane. They need to learn how to trust someone and build relationships that would last a life time and they wouldn't be able to do that in their own homes.
However, there are some benefits of distance learning. You are able to be out sick and not be behind in class because the teacher would just be able to send you the work. If you were to have any questions you would be able to send a message to your teacher.
With the schools in the country trying to enforce distance learning may be focusing only on the benefits, and leaving the entire well being of their students. They are thinking about how it would impact them now and not in the long run. The stress levels would increase and so would the suicide rates.

In the world we live in today we drive ordinary cars that were made for ordinary people.

Many futurists said that in order to have smarter cars we would have to have smart roads as well.

Engineers at barkeley used magnets with alternating polarity, such as sensors. we ues sensors today to give human like senses to an object. I believe the number one reason for putting sensors on an car was to see if they could make a car drive as if a real human was in side controlling it.
If the car was always driving by itslef wouldn't the driver get very board and lose focus off while in traffic. Yes they would, which is why they have decided to put in-car entertainment and information systems that use heads-up displays for drivers that get distracted easily.

This technology won't be able to detect all the movements of the face and detect what our feelings show threw a smile we put on our face .

What if they trick you into thinking about something that is irrelevant to the topic. I have always thought it is best to take what you have and ask for more than one opinion. If you really need advice from another aspect.
Let's say there is drama between you and your friend. You're a fourteen year old girl in 8th grade. You have been friends with this girl for seven years. One conflict occurs in your relationship and you want help trying to make up with her even though she is mad at you. So, you ask some of your other friends for their advice. One friend says ""she's just jealous she will come back for your friendship in no time"". Another friend says ""she seems pretty mad I would apologize to her and get her to be friends with you again"". Then that's when you really get stuck on what to do.
Sometimes it is best to get a few opinions. Sometimes two opinions don't work, and mostly won't work if the two are opposing each other. When you ask people for their opinion on advice take in what they say because it could really take affect on you. It also may help you come up with a good solution.
Let's say you asked 6 people on their opinion for the friendship advice. Three say ""she will come back into your friendship"". And three say ""go fetch her before she doesn't like you anymore"". Then what do you do? You could put your own thoughts into the situation, and use the advice you're other friends have told you. If more people say you need to go catch her before she's gone. Take their advice! If more people say she will come back to be your friend. Take their advice! As long as you agree, and are sure about the situation. Always remember you don't have to do what others say. It is just an idea.

C36AECC3C173,"There has been a fuss about the Elector College. Many people get confused about how it works and if they're satifyied with the whole process. Show we ""abolish"" the Elector College? Should we keep it? Honestly we should keep it. We the peope have more then enough control on who is chosen for the president of the United States Of America. We don't really vote for the president but our vote impacts the decision.
Many citizens of the United States Of America think their vote doesnt matter, it does. Why? Well, first the government is runned by the people. Its very rare to not get the president that has the most popular votes, the last time when the president wasn't chosen was in 1888. It's less likely for the president with the most votes to lose the election. For example, Obama received 61.7 percent of the elector votes compared to only 51.3 percent of the popular votes cast for him and Romney. Plus, almost all states award elector votes on a winner-take-it-all basis.
Perhaps, there was no system. Would it be simpler? Yes it would but we have to also be fair, there is 538 electors and a majority of 270 elector votes is required to elect the president. When you are voting for the president ypu want to win,you are actually voting for your canidate's elector. How does the system work? First it's the process that has the selection of the electors , the meeting of the electors where they vote for the president and vice president , and last but not least the counting of electoral votes by congress. Obviously it is kind of confusing because it would be much simpler if the winner would be the one with the most popular votes.
Did you know that the Elector College avoids the problem of elections? They do due to how much pressure the candidte can go through. It can easily complicate the presidential process. For instance, Nixon in 1968 and Clinton in 1992 both had only a 43 percent plurality of the popular votes, while winning a majority in the Elector College (301 and 370 elector votes exactly). When avoiding the elections and campaigns , there a better chance of clear winner.
So there you have it,three main reason's why we should keep the Elector College. We have why the process is important and why we have it. How the process work's because it was confusing to many people , so it's defined and hopefully you'll like to stay and support the Elector College. Your vote does matter.

25362AB8F394,"Dear Senator,
Thank you for taking the time to read my letter. I would like to bring something to your attention that has been on my mind recently. I think the electoral college is important in picking our presidents and i think that it needs to stay apart of our voting process. The Electoral college is in our history and the founding fathers didnt put it there to just be removed. The Electoral College needs to stay apart of our voting process beause we always have the certainty of outcomes, Everyones presidents, and it avoids run off elections.
With an Electoral College we' ll always have the certainty of outcomes because the winning canidate's share of electoral college invaribly exceeds his share of the popular vote. Also its highly unlikely for a tie in the electoral college unlike in popularity.
In the Electoral College everyones president. This is such a big part because the electoral college requires a presidental candidate to have trans-regional appeal. No region has enough electoral votes to elect a president. A candidate with only regional appeal is unlikely to be a successful president.
The Electoral College avoids the problem of elections in which no candidate receives a majority of the votes cast. There is pressure for run-off elections when no candidate wins a majority of the votes cast; that pressure, which would greatly complicate the presidental election process, is reduced by the electoral college.
In conclusion, the electoral college is a great thing for the united states and states. its very much what our founding fathers intendid it to be and it should never be take away.

998BBB8AB63C,"All teachers fear the inevitable ""summer slide"" that comes during summer break. In order to combat this trend, many schools are starting to assign summer projects to students in order to help them retain information and further their education. However, many people disagree on whether the projects should be designed by the teachers or the students themselves. Some say that students would be able to effectively pursue their own interests while others say teachers' experience would prove to be more effective. Summer projects should be designed by the teachers because of their previous experience in designing projects, their ability to ensure critical information will be retained or learned, and their ability to ensure that all students will receive the same amount of work.
A common argument for students to design their own projects would be that by allowing students this freedom, students would be able to actively pursue the topics and ideas that interest them and this would drive them to work more enthusiastically on their projects. Just as Frederick Douglass fervently pursued his dream of learning to read, these students would also be self motivated to learn about their own interests. However this is incorrect because teachers can design the projects to include all students' interests but do so in a more effective way. Teachers develop a personal bond with students throughout the year. This bond that develops informs the teachers on the students' skills and interests which would allow the teachers to develop the summer projects in such a way as to facilitate eager emotions for learning. This way, the students would still be inspired by their interests to learn while being guided by their teacher to learn everything that they should.
Teachers have valuable experience from their work that allows them to be skilled at designing summer projects. All high school teachers have a collegiate level of education as required by their job. The teachers have years of experience studying the best ways to facilitate learning through all mediums, including projects. Due to this large gap in understanding the intricacies of learning, teachers are extremely more skilled at designing projects than students. In addition, because the projects are meant to facilitate learning and recall, the teachers' understanding of how learning is best achieved allows them insight to the most efficient ways to do this. It is a common saying among athletes that ""practice makes perfect."" This principle can also be applied to other skills such as designing projects. Teachers, through their years of work and experience, have created multitudes of projects. Their experience of creating projects allows them to master the craft to produce quality material. While students have little to no experience creating projects, teachers do. Their superiority in this way allows them to more effectively combat the ""summer slide"" than the students would. Though experience is important, essential information also plays a large role.
Teachers can make sure that essential skills and knowledge will be retained by students to ensure future success. Teachers are required by their school to be familiar with the course and curriculum that they teach. With this knowledge, teachers can implement the essential material into the projects. By doing this, the students remember and learn vital information without even realizing it. Teachers can equip students with knowledge that will prove to be vital later on in their schooling careers. If students designed their own projects, this extra benefit would not be at all possible because of their obvious lack of knowledge that they have yet to learn. One essential skill that is taught by professors to retain information for long periods of time is to review what you have already learned. This memory skill can be hidden within projects by the teachers to cement certain information into students brains. Teachers would be able to strengthen old knowledge while providing new knowledge and skills through their projects. Though knowledge is important, equal opportunity is as well.
Teaches would ensure that all students are given the same amount of work to complete for their projects. Steve Jobs said that he always gave the hardest jobs to the laziest people. Students, like everyone else, have a tendency to be lazy. If students were allowed to design their own projects, many would do the bare minimum to get it out of the way. By allowing teachers to design the projects, this would be mitigated and ensure all students worked hard. The College Board works to ensure that all students are treated equal during standardized tests. If Colleges give everyone equal work and opportunity, it only makes sense for all other levels of school to do this as well. Through teacher designed projects, teachers could ensure that everyone is on an equal playing field. By doing this teachers would not allow students to unknowingly disenfranchise themselves of necessary skills. This way all students will be equal ready in their college readiness. All students would equally benefit from the teacher assigned projects.
Though students may enjoy designing their own projects, teacher-designed projects would provide greater benefit to all students. Through the teachers' intellectual maturity and experience they would provide better practice with the purpose and skills within the projects. Their knowledge of whats to come would also provide students with solid foundations for the upcoming school year, starting them off on the right foot. Teachers ability to provide equal opportunity for all students would ensure future success by ensuring proper habits are formed. Teachers, not students, should design summer projects to combat the summer slide because of their acquired skills in teaching, their insight to the students' futures, and how they can instill success equally to their students.",,934,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

B3CD019589CB,"Dear Principal,
I think it would be a good idea to involve every student in community service. It cant do any harm. The problem is though, is that people don't want to help the community because they say it's a waste of time.
If you want to swim in the lake, it wouldn't be very safe if it was dirty. What if plastic bags seemed to float into the lake and some fish mistake it for something else and they eat it. That wouldn't be sanitary for your children to swim in the lake with dead fish floating by them. I'm sure you can get diseases. All because you didn't want to take a couple hours out of your day to help the community. What students don't understand is that it's the little things that can change the world.
I wouldn't hesitate to do community service. It's all a good cause. After you do community service it feels good to know that you made your community a better, cleaner place for everyone. And it's always nice to give back to your community.
Community service is safe. If we would ever clean up at parks, that would be something less to worry about. When mothers or fathers take their children to the park they want their baby to be safe. That wouldn't be possible if there was glass, plastic, or bags. We all know children like to play with everything they see and we wouldn't want them to get cut on some glass that was broken. Or a plastic bottle they might think is theirs and choke on the cap.
With community service, we wouldn't have to worry about these hazards. So yes, I think community service should be required for students.

6F5652DC6E6A,"My grandmother once told me, ""When seeking advice always get more than one opinion."" I think she told me that because, people opinions could be good for you and its probably a good idea for you to listen. Or that person thoughts could be horrible and could cost you your future as a criminal and that would lead to you being behind bars. But a positive outcome is that multiple opinions is better than one because what people think is the best idea for you is probably a good idea for you to listen. But also their ideas could be bad and good at the same time so when you apply the advice to the situation and could have a positive and negative outcome.
I personally think when getting advice always go search for it in your most trustworthy friends and family so that they can give you a good opinion. When you ask them and you receive lots of the same response it probably a good idea to listen and take their knowledge in and use it. Most importantly if you receive other information not like the other information your family and friends gave you its good to try the advice. Only to see if they give good advice or just to see if it was a better idea.
Also not all advice is good advice. Receiving advice from people that you know will lead you down a bad life or a bad lifestyle could get you into a lot of trouble or you could get hurt. When seeking advice make sure they know what they're talking about and if it doesn't seem right most likely their opinion is bad.

I wanted to inform you that there is a limit for driving a car there has been some changes during this few years. Its not only in America that is going on its in other cities and also in states, where people have been droping there adavantages to drive around and dicide to walk instead or to ride a bus to get to other places, they also do that to save money for the gasoline especially if they drive long distance. For example in German Suburb they have forbidden street parking, driveways and home garages, new district on outskirts of freiburg, near the French and Swiss borders. There's a place called Vauban's and its a total Car-free, 70% of vaubans don't own a car and 57% sold thier car to move here.

Paris typically has more smog then other European capitals, but eventually the smog cleared enough for The Ruling French party.

355534539B7E,"When needing advice due to a problem in life, people often go to someone to ask for advice and they generally go to multiple people to ask advice. For many people this can seem peculiar, going to multiple people for advice might seem point less to some, but when thought about, this method is a helpful way to make a better choice. By using the method of asking multiple people for advice, this could help someone make a better choice by doing this the person could see the problem from different perspectives, the person could get information that the other person asked didnt know, and there is the off chance that the person could be getting biased advice from the person without knowing. In all asking for advice from multiple people is helpful and is recommended to many people when dealing with a problem where they can use some advice with a problem they are struggling with.
If a person has a problem, a challenge most have is seeing it from other's perspective, sometimes a problem can only be solved when you take a step back and try to look at in a new way, and talking to multiple people concerning the topic can help someone do this. For example, say someone got into an argument with a friend after being offended by something the friend said, after they talked to multiple people about this they then could see that the friend didnt mean to offend him/her. If the person had not gone to someone else for advice then they wouldn't have realized that the friend was sorry and didnt mean to offended him/her, by talking to multiple people it helped them make a better choice. Besides helping people look at their problem from a different perspective, talking to multiple people can still help people make better choices in other ways, they could get information from someone that the previous people that they talked to didnt know, and the information could help influence their decision.
When people have a problem they seek advice from those around them, a major reason to asking multiple people for advice is that one of the people that is asked could be someone who has information that the others didnt know, or withheld. For example, in a 6rd grade class there was a boy who had trouble in history class, there was a history test on the following Friday, the boy was worried so he asked his best friend, Generic_Name what he should do, Generic_Name told him not to stress and that to study and he'll be fine. He trusted his friend's advice but asked his other friend, Generic_Name, just to be sure, his other friend told him that the test was 20 questions mostly surrounding the declaration of independence, after getting this information he studied his notes surrounding the declaration of independence and ended up getting a 98% on his history test, due to knowing what to expect. The boy at first only asked his best friend but after getting advice from another person, he understood what the test was about and what he should do. This method of asking multiple people for advice helped him and if he had not asked his other friend for advice, he would have been unprepared for the test. Besides the reasons to ask multiple people for advice, getting a different perspective and getting additional information,there is still another major reason to ask multiple people for advice, which is on the off chance that the first person(s) they asked were biased, and didnt give them direct information based on facts and not opinions.
Everyone is life will eventually have a problem that they struggle with, and the best course of action is to ask for advice from others around them, but to make sure that they are making a good choice they should get advice from multiple people, not just because of the needed perspective or the need for additional information, but because there is always a chance that the first person asked is giving biased advice. For example, at lunch there was an argument between 4 friends about DC vs Marvel movies and a mutual friend of the 4 was forced to chose a side in the argument, the mutual friend had never seen a DC or Marvel movie and didnt know anything about them, she went to ask advice about which side to choose from one of her friends that was on side DC, they told her that DC was better in special effects, plot and actors. She trusted her friend's advice but to make sure she had all the information she asked her older brother, someone who had seen all DC and Marvel movies and wasnt someone who had picked a side and genuinely supported both sided, her brother told her that DC and Marvel were both amazing franchises, but generally Marvel had a bigger budget and that they had more plot detail. After talking to her brother and her friend, she came to the conclusion that she believed Marvel was better franchise wise. The girl at first did not know what to do and after consulting her DC friend she was convinced DC was better, but after talking to her brother, who didnt chose a side, realized that she, personally, supported Marvel. If she did not go to another source for advice then she wouldn't have known that her DC friend was biased and embellished on a lot of details. With all of this it clear that asking for advice from multiple people helped her chose a better choice.
In conclusion, whether someone has a small problem like which franchise they support or if its a more intricate problem like a miss communication that could destroy a life long friendship, no matter how big or small the problem is asking advice is always something that helps and asking multiple people for advice could help make a better choice when dealing with a problem. Asking multiple people helps when someone needs a new perspective, additional information of the topic or if they just arent sure if the person they are getting advice from is biased.

140434C2B180,"Summer break is a time period of relaxation for students who have worked hard all year in school. Students tend to go on vacations where they forget everything they learned throughout the year. This is why teachers assign summer projects to make sure that their students are still learning and that they still stay engaged with academics on their breaks. As a high school student myself, I dread summer projects for the reason of having to complete school work whilst on vacation. When my teacher assigns a summer project, it is usually something that is boring and not engaging with other students. Student-designed summer projects have a completely different approach to them. When students can design their own summer projects, it encourages creativity and individuality from the student, it will encourage students to engage with other classmates and it creates a wide range of available topics to learn about.
When summer projects are student-designed, it allows students to portray their creativity and individuality. When a teacher assigns a project that forces a student to do a task that is not appealing to them, they do not put in their best effort and they do not learn anything from it. For example, when a teacher asks their students to read a book and write an essay on it, students will not be inclined to complete it and will put it off until the end of summer. If the project was student-designed, the student could read the book of their choice and show their understanding of it in many ways. They could show off their creativity by creating something no other students has created, they can portray their own liking and not dread doing it like many students do with teacher-designed projects. Teachers should encourage individuality from their students and they can do this by creating student-designed summer projects.
Summer can be about engaging with friends and family and student-designed summer projects promote that. Students can engage with others to work on a project of their own liking. Engaging with other classmates helps with communication skills,leadership skills and other character traits that can help a student develop academically outside of school. Working with other students is not a necessity for summer-designed projects, where working individually has its own pros as mentioned before. This shows the effectiveness of student-designed projects as both methods of learning are both engaging and academic. Teacher-designed projects can also have students work with each other and promote the engagement with other students, however, they do not allow students to use their own liking and interests as freely when working with others. Student-designed summer projects would allow any person to work with anyone based off their interests which would most effectively help their learning experience.
Learning is meant to be engaging and interesting and student-designed projects encourages this type of learning. With student-designed summer projects, the topics that can be discussed and learned about are endless. The student has the wide range of topics they can learn about and portray their learning in a creative way so that it is an engaging and interesting experience for the student. Depending on the subject, the student can use his hobbies to create something that appeals to their interests so that they're using this experience to actually learn in an academic manner. Teacher-designed summer projects are usually limited to a small range of possibilities in terms of topics where the student is forced to learn about something unappealing which makes the learning expirecne ineffective for the students, where as student-designed projects let the students use their own interests to create a topic in which they think will most effectively complete the project
During summer break, students tend to take their mind off of academics and they forget about most of the things they learned about in the year prior. Summer projects help students engage with academics during the long break so that they are ready to come back to school once the time comes. Summer projects can be tedious for students because of the way that they are designed by teachers. Student-designed projects take away the forced work that teachers put upon their students and create an enjoyable yet effective learning experience. Student-designed summer projects can help students engage with classmates, encourage creativity and individuality and creates a wide range of discusable topics. Student-designed projects make the summer expirecne a more enjoyable time by letting the students create a project based on their own experiences and liking and not forcing them to complete tedious tasks.

47E3B3E558E1,"Which side are you on? The schools principal wants every student in the school to take an extracurricular activity at school something like sports, yearbook club, or join the student council would you agree with this? Or would you disagree with this? I would disagree with the principal this time.
Some students have a lot of other things to do after school so a lot of time they don't have the time to stay after school and do that. I think students should be able to pick what they want to do for school and not be forces to do it. plus some students don't find those things fun to do and maybe they already have sports after school to do or and club they already signed up for out of school. I don't think that the principle should be able to chose what student should do for fun. or maybe some students want to go home and relax from a hard day at school.
Also students already have a lot of stress and doing something extra could cause more stress for students. If students are force to do something they might not find it as fun as they thought it would. If it was during school the students might want to do other things for their class but they can't because the principal is forcing them to do something. If someone wanted to take a language they can't because you have to take a sport or club. students don't like thing that are taken away from them they tend to get mad.
So I would have to disagree with this because I don't think the principal should get to pick what students want to do in their free time. Just let the students pick what they want to do so they can have fun at school and not stress over a lot of things. Also so students should get the freedom of choice so they don't get over whelmed.

BF01FFEF8CB3,"When you ask for advice, you ask multiple people right? I do. One of the reasons why seeking multiple options can help you make a better choice is because when you ask more than one people for advice, they mostly give you different ideas and the more ideas you get from people the easier it feels to make that choice. Another reason why seeking multiple options can help you make a better choice is that when you ask different people for advice they would give you their own opinions about that choice. For example, if you ask your friend for advice for a choice you are going to make, that friend might tell you something positive about it, in the other hand, if you ask another friend for advice for a choice they might tell you something bad about it which will be way different than what your other friend said. The third reason why I think seeking multiple options can help you make a better choice is because if one person told you a negative advise and the other person told you a positive advise, you could pick which one you think is helpful. The fourth reason why I think seeking multiple options can help you make a better choice is because if you ask a friend for advice they can tell you their personal thoughts about that choice and if you ask another person they might give you their personal thoughts about it.

DF72D063A74D,"I think that we should change from the Electoral College, to election by popular vote for the president of the United States. Yes, the Elctoral College in good in some ways, but I believe the flaws it has out numbers the good things. When you vote you really aren't voting for the president but for a slate of electors, there was the 2000 fiasco, and there really isn't that many reasons to keep the current method of choosing our president.
According to the article ""What is Electoral College?"" The electoral College process consists of the selection of the electors, the meeting of the electors where they vote for the President and Vice President, and the counting of electoral votes by congress. So you really are'nt voting for the president but for a slate of electors. Elecotors can be anyone isn't holding a public office. Who is picked as the electors depends on the state. Sometimes there's state conventions, sometimes the state party's central committee, and sometimes the presidential candidates themselves. Voters can't control who the electors vote for and sometimes voters get confused about electors and vote for the wrong candidate.
There was also the 2000 fiasco that was the biggest election crisis in a century, and the system allows for much worse, according to ""The Indefensible Electoral College:Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong."" There have been a few occasions where ""faithless"" electors have refused to vote for their party's candidate and casted the deciding vote for whomever they pleased. Oh, and what happens if a state sends two state electors to Congress? According to ""The indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong"" it happened it Hawii in 1960. Luckily, Vice President Richar Nixon, validated only his opponent's electors, but he made sure to do so ""without establishing a precedent."" But who's to say it won't happen again?
The Electoral College does have some goods things about it as well. It states those things in the article ""In Defense of the Electoral College: Five reasons to keep our despised method of choosing the President."" 1. There is always a Certainty of Outcome ""A dispute over the outcome of an Electoral College vote is possible, but its less likely than a dispute over the popular vote. 2. It makes it Everyone's President.""The Elecotral College requires a presidential candidate to have trans-regional appeal."" Which means no regions has enogh elecotrol votes to elect a president. 3. Swing states, ""the winner-take-all method of awarding elecotral votes includes the candidates to focus their campaigns efforts on the toss-up states."" 4. Big States, ""The Electoral College restores some of the weight in the political balance that large states lose by virtue of the mal-apportionment of the senate decreed in the Constitution"" 5. It avoids run-off Elections, ""Electoral College avoids the problem of electionsin which no candidate recieves a majority of the votes cast.""
Now, you can see why I think we should change from the College Electoral to election by Popular Vote. The Electoral Vote does have it's advantages but I think the many disadvantages that come with it outweigh those advantages.

I do think that helping our community by doing community serves is very important.
We need to keep our community clean. If we don't it will just look like a big trash can.
It is important that kids help, it's not so hard to give up one hour of your day to help the community. If we start with the little things we can make a difference and do something bigger and better.
I think the reason many kids my age don't want to help is because their just stubborn an not willing to make some time for helping things like this one speacialy. Kids think that they have better things to do than help others even I'm like that sometimes.
We don't really understand the importance of this task if we let our towns, our cities, or communities build with trash we'd be destroying our world. I think its that kids old and young want to help our community . It builds character and i would like the opportunity to do community serves.

Also, he supports that idea because they have being searching things about Venus and making the NASA to make them study about it. It can be the time to know everything and making changes. The reason why I think he supports the idea of studying is because he mention things that he was learining but doesn't know the answer to it. He said that they always go in differents speeds it means we get close to Mars and sometimes they one who is closer is
Venus. For example in the text it says
""Venus is the second planet from he our sun"". It mean it can be a change people live there because in venus their is 97% of carbon dioxide it also can mean they can send people to visit or live their. The second reason is that "" Venus can sometimes be our nearest option for a planerary visit"". It means he does support this because he just says positves things that they have in learining information and that they also want to buy humans to go to venus and see how it be to be leaving their or how is it .

CF2138A08358,"I believe that the school summer projects should be designed by the teachers. I think this because projects designed by students can be unclear regarding the information of the project and students can also create a project that is not difficult enough and does not show the skills or levels of an individuals learning.
The first reason I believe teachers should design the school summer projects is because of the unclear information given on the project that students may create. With students designing a project some of them may have different knowledge on a specific topic. For example, the topic of the project being designed is United States History. The instructions of the project is to write a biography on George Washington. The two students designing the project want to include one fact about George Washington in the instructions to get students completing the project started. They decide they want the fact to be about George Washington time as president. Student A believes that George Washington was the first president of the United States but student B believes that George Washington was the third president of the United States. Both students believe that they are correct, this then causes arguments between the creators of the project and possible incorrect information being given to the students completing the project. The teachers know that the correct answer is George Washington was the first president of United States of America, but how would the students know the correct answer if they are the ones designing the project and can not agree? That is a big problem because the project is suppose to help the students continue learning over the summer.
The second and final reason I believe teachers should design the school summer projects is because students can create a project that is not difficult enough and does not show the skills or levels of an individuals learning process. This can be an effect of peer pressure, laziness, tiredness, and lack of information. I say that one cause of this is peer pressure because students are constantly negatively influenced by their peers. For example, if student A
friends finds out he is designing the project and ask him to make the project easy, because they do not want to do work over the summer, student A might be persuaded to do so because they are his friends and he does not want them to think bad of him. Another two reasons I think cause this are laziness and tiredness. I say these two together because often time when you are tiered you tend to get lazy, and when lazy it could be because you are tiered. Students tend to be lazy at times which affect their work effort and if that student is designing a project it can be sloppy and not put together because of it. Students are not use to creating lesson plans, like projects. This may cause a student to be tiered and of track. They can make many errors and mistakes if not well rested. My final reason I believe causes this is lack of information. Some student learn and comprehend at different speeds and if the student creating the project does not have enough information it can cause the project to be difficult to understand for the ones completing it.
In conclusion, I believe that the school summer projects should be designed by the teachers, because projects designed by students can be unclear regarding the information of the project, students can create a project that is not difficult enough and does not show the skills or levels of an individuals learning, and there are numerous problems that go along with a student designing a project rather than a teacher who is used to and well informed with information about all subjects.",,627,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

880027AAA1A2,"The face that was found on Mars may be made by natural causes. There are many reasons why this odd shaped figure would be made by natural causes, like gust of wind throwing rocks around could make that human like face. Or something that can pick up big boulders and can move them into place. There are many reasons why this face showed up, but aliens are not one of them.
What might have caused rocks to move into place to create this human like face is large gust of wind. Or something that is really strong. Or it could have been a big pile of rock and just formed over the years into a face. In the story ""Unmasking the Face on Mars"", there is more then one lump of rock there is two. The second is just not shaped like a face. There are spots everywhere on this planet with lumps of rock. Most of them are formed by erosion. Erosion is the process of being broken down. There could be parts of the lump of rock that wasn't strong enough to hold it's self up. They may have fell in to make the eye shape. The nose could have been another small pile of rock that made it look like a nose. This is from up high it may look different down low. It may look like a big piece of rock. There are different views or angles you can look at it.
Other people may think that aliens did this. But there was no traces or marks left behind that can detect an alien. In the story it says, ""There was no alien monument after all."" Now in the story it says that all the traces of the alien that did this were covered in haze. In paragraph 12 it says, ""
What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa- landforms common around the American West.""
They strongly agree that this is just natural causes. Now they are probably still doing some testing or research about this face. But they strongly agree that it is just a natural cause. Formed by erosion,or gust of winds,or even soft spots.
They shape is another crazy thing added on the list of things that NASA sees on different planets. This is just another figure made by the planets natural causes.

28E132CF8098,"Phones & Driving
Phones and driving are two bad combinations. They can lead to serious danger and harm.
People must be careful on now they use their phones while driving as it can lead to major accidents or worse. I think drivers shouldn't be able to use cell phones in any capacity while operating a vehicle.
Cell phones are major distraction when driving. People/drivers can't help but to pick them up and use them. This could keep the drivers focus off the main thing which would be paying attention to the road. In these cases it could potentially be dangerous as they could cause an accident.
Next texting is also another reason why cell phones shouldn't be in the drivers capacity. Drivers often check their phones for messages or calls. This causes the driver to take his/her eyes off the road and cause an accident in a split second. The highest number of accidents come from texting and driving. This can is a major problem.
Finally music is also a problem as most times the driver don't listen to the radio as they more than often listen to the bluetooth connected to the phone. The driver may not want to listen to a certain song and try to change it which would make him/her take their eyes off the road. It could also lead to them getting badly injured.
In conclusion driving with phones is bad. We must try not to use phones as much as possible when driving it may save our lives as well as others. Doing this could also bring the accident percentage down. This could save thousands of lives maybe even more.

651F93C7E03A,"People think the face on Mars was created or a sign by the aliens. Well Im here to prove them that it was a natural landform. It couldn't have been created by aliens because NASA would have picked something up.
My first reason why the face was just a natural landform, is because in the text it states that '' The sensation was short lived. Scientists figuered it was just another Martian mesa, common enough around Cydonia.'' Meaning that the face was just a natural landform created because they are common in that area.
My second reason why the face was just a natural landform, is because in the text it states that ''the team snapped a picture ten times sharper than the original Viking photos. Thousands of anxious web surfers were waiting when the image first appeared on a JPL web site, revealing.... a natural landform. There was no alien monument after all.'' Meaning the face was just a natural landform and it had no connetion to aliens.
My third and final reason why the face was just a natural landform, is becuase in the text it states that '' What the picture actually shows it the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa- landforms common around the American West. It reminds me most of middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho,"" says Garvin. Meaning that the face on Mars looks like landforms here on Earth.

FC90D46FBE1F,"Phones and Driving
Many people text while driving or call while driving. Snap chat is the most used app by teens while driving, mainly to show off that they are in their new car, or to show that they are out somewhere. Some talk while driving holding the phone up to their ear driving with one hand on the phone and one on the wheel. Others face time still driving with one hand holding the phone to their face and the other one the wheel. Some text while driving with one hand on the phone and the other on the wheel. Others use the hands free were people can just talk into the phone, and tell the phone what to send in text. Drivers should not be able to use cell phones while driving.
One reason why people should not use cell phones while driving is they could get in a car crash. ""The national safety council reported that cell phone use while driving leads to 1.6 million crashes each year,"" (Edgar Snyder & Associates). People using their cell phones while driving have one hand on the wheel, and one on the phone causing less control of the wheel. Also some people crash their car due to looking at their phone trying to text, call, or take a picture or video of themselves. Driving and using a cell phone could be dangerous and can lead someone into a car crash.
Another reason why people should not use cell phones while driving is they could get pulled over by the police for the use of texting driving. This will cause the driver to get their license suspended, or lose it. ""Nearly 390,000injuries occur each year from accidents caused by texting while driving,"" (Edgar Snyder & Associates). Police try to pull people over before there can be a possibility of an accident happening. People think that police are being too strict when they pull people over for texting and driving, but they just want to help people out before it is no other person in the world to save.
On the other hand, others may go against, and say that Drivers should be able to text and drive. For example if people learn how to text and drive there will be less accidents. In that learning process people can crash the car from being too cautious do to slamming on the breaks trying to stop. Learning how to text and drive is more dangerous than getting stuck at the top of a rollercoaster. Therefore, people should not text a drive ever.
Cell phones should not be at use while driving ever. More people are being killed by it, and others are losing their licenses from it. Texting and driving is not worth losing someone's life, or worth going to jail over. Texting and driving is a big danger and can lead to many bad out comes at the end.

Something different happened that made TV, magazines, even Hollywood. Viking 1 captured a picture of a FACE on mars. At the time no one knew what made this but NASA did have plenty enough of ideas to figure it out sooner or later.
An argument would be is are aliens actually real or are they a mythical creature that people say is real. The man NASA is talking to would have to find out himself and so would NASA. NASA has plenty enough cameras in space to know if there are actually aliens up in space. This could have been created by a Martian mesa. The face might of had many weird, or unusual shadows.
The only problem would be is there aliens in different Galaxies, or on different planets like the ones in our Galaxy the Milkyway. The Aliens could have flew over and made a face on Mars, or carved it themselves. The problem with the Martian mesa is the shadow could have been created by the camer or ship that was flying around the planet Mars.
The was to prove them wrong though is, we have been studying and flying cameras out into space for awhile and have been searching for aliens the whole time.

30CA7D9DB52B,"There are many differant reasons to limit car usage, the most well-known reason being that it will greatly reduce air pollution. Several places incuding Vauban Germany, Paris, Bogota Colombia, and the United States have proven this, especially Paris. Paris at one point in 2014, had to enforce a partial driving ban purely because of the hazzardous smog caused by air pollution. In doing so Paris relatively quickly cleared the majority of the smog, and realized how this can also help to reduce road congestion. The United States are another, larger example of how much limiting car use can help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Another good reason for limiting car usage would be that it will generally reduce stress in people. Limiting or lowering the usage of automobiles anywhere can help reduce stress mainly because people won't have to worry as much about traffic, maintanence & repair costs, air polution, or even the general dangers of driving a vehicle. Almost everyone knows that less stress is a good thing because of how it helps your health, therfore, limiting how much you drive is will not only improve your health by reduceing how stressed you are, but it will also help you to be healthier because it reduces the overall polution in the air.

F1D42413F451,"If you have an issue, speaking to more than one person can help you in many ways. This is because you can get multiple opinions, and a better outcome to your issue or problem. You may not know it, but you also have plenty of people you can go to. Seeking multiple opinions is also good, because you will figure out the good outcomes and the bad outcomes of your situation; or situations similar to yours.
Speaking to more than one person can give you multiple opinions, all of which can be helpful in deciding what to do. One person who had a bad experience might give you what they did, making everything worse. This is especially true when the issue involves people. If you ask one of your friends, and they say yes to something you know is bad subconsciously, you should get another opinion. Once you go to another loved one, their added advice can lead to a better close to your issue.
When you have a conversation with more than one person, you can get multiple opinions, different points of view, and different experiences. You can combine these into a chart, and then decide what to do. You might use a combination of things you were told. Getting multiple points of view on a topic can really help with your final decision. If you ask your mother, and she tells you something positive, but ask a friend, and they say something partially negative, you can put what they did together, and create your own solution. Different experiences is essentially the same as different points of view. Having multiple can help you to create your own solution, or use one that worked for someone else.
Now that you know what you can do, who are you supposed to ask? The answer: anyone you trust. Your mother or father are the best option. This is because you are the most comfortable speaking with them, and they've lived through most of the same situations. Next, is a trusted teacher/adult. These people most likely have experience with your predicament as well. If you have friends that you trust and support you, you can ask them about your issue. They may just be able to help. Regardless of who it is, you need to trust the person.
In closing, getting many opinions on an issue can help you make good decisions, and create better outcomes to your issues. Knowing who you can speak to on these problems is very helpful as well. Having people that you can speak with makes you more confident in your decision making, so you can become an amazing problem solver. Using what other people know, and what you know can be put together to create the best possible solution. Help others when they ask you. You might not be the first person they ask, but at least they trust you enough for assistance.",,482,Seeking multiple opinions,Independent,"When people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person.

233F34A737E9,"Some schools require many projects over the summer. Reasons for this may vary, but they all share one thing in common; Who designs these projects? Schools often bring this idea into thought as they switch their deigns of these projects year to year. In fact, students often wonder why this is the case. I believe school summer projects should be consistent and always be designed by a teacher because it creates an equal learning objective, strong motivation from a teacher, and help and guidance on making sure a project is done correctly.
With student deigned projects, students often do not meet their set learning objective of their class. Some students gain the objective and learn,but some fail and do not meet the objective because they learn a different topic. Because of this, students should follow a teacher designed project to create an equal learning environment, ensuring all students learn the same learning material. Summer projects are meant to help students continue learning during a break, without a certain objective being designed by a teacher, students often will no achieve the meaning of a summer project.
Over a long break, many students do not have strong motivation to complete and learn a project. Whether it is because a student is confused or doesn't have good management, Students often find themselves in need of greater help from teachers as a way to successfully learn from a project. In school, teachers are often seen as great influences in the classroom, ensuring greatness from each and every student. However, at home, students often are not kept at the same standards of learning. With teacher designed projects, this would create a vast way for students to become motivated and successful, in order to follow their teachers project.
Help is often hard to find at home. Many students do not have great resources at home. For example, parents often cannot answer questions about a school project, due to their lack of knowledge of the classroom. With a teacher being the designer for a school summer project, students have a reliable resource for help on what to do. This guidance from a reliable resource makes summer project much easier for a student, as they would have a teacher to help them succeed in a set project.
While teacher-designed projects have set rules and can be seen as useful, student-designed projects can also be seen as helpful, as they can give a student freedom on what to do and how to do it. Student-designed projects do not hold a student back from doing a project a certain way, as every student learns differently. However, I still believe all summer projects should be designed by a teacher to assure great continual learning during a break. Teacher-deigned projects create a strong learning objective, a great source of motivation, and strong help and guidance for all students to follow.

7456CE5BB6E2,"Ever wanted an opportunity to have fun and learn new things after school? Well extracurricular activities are perfect for that plus more! The principles decision to make extracurricular activities mandatory is incredible. After all, extracurricular activities are a great way to make new friends, learning new things, and give you an opportunity to help the school out.
The first reason that mandatory extracurricular activities are beneficial, is you can make lots of new friends. In clubs you are surrounded by people with the same interests as you. This gives you an opportunity to share things with other people, connect, and work together. Whether it's on a sports team, or in the year book club you interact with new people and make some new friends. So get out of the house and make some new friends by joining an extracurricular club!
The second reason that they are beneficial, is think about all the new things you can learn, by joining extracurricular activities you learn new things through social interactions, or improve on pre-existing skills. Either way you learn tons of new things in these clubs. Also these clubs already exist, so why not join them? By not joining you are wasting the opportunity to learn and more importantly have some fun!
Finally, one day you can put some of these clubs on your resume. It might sound crazy but it's true. If you are trying to get a job relating to coding, and you took the coding club as a kid, you can slap that on to your resume! That could be the difference between you getting the job and another person getting a job. You never know! My dad told me that he still remember some of the things he learned in a coding club and still applies that knowledge today. These clubs are free knowledge so take advantage!
In conclusion having mandatory extracurricular activities is beneficial because it gives you many social opportunities, you can learn many new and exciting things from these extracurricular activities, and these extracurricular activities can be used throughout life. If you school does not make this mandatory, you should join a club anyways. But choose wisely!",,357,Mandatory extracurricular activities,Independent,"Your principal has decided that all students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity.

FD96B26E06F8,"False Face on Mars
For some decades people have been spark with the idea of an acient civilization/aliens on Mars for a while due to Viking 1 capturing a picture of what seem to be a face on Mars. Hollywood movies, commercial, comics, and etc commercial things have fill the minds of many people with flase accusation. The saying of don't always beleive what you see or hear is true in this situation. There are many reason why this information is false. And I as a scientist at NASA will give you reason and facts on why it is flase.
The truth is there is no face on Mars. If there were face on Mars there would be many more sign of life and ancient artifact or buildings from ages ago. Just like in Earth there were many sign leading to ancient civilization such as the Inca, Maya, Aztec, and Egytian. This civilization had proof such as ruins, artifact, and fossil leading to it, but there weren't any sign of any of those in Mars instead there was just an asume face . As one can see here with just an asume face on Mars so it was unlikely that an aliens/other being did it.
A person might claim that scientists could be hiding fact from people so they don't find out the truth about the face like an alien actually making the face. I as a scientist would have already known report or leaked if some scientist were hiding something. Scientist love to share facts or truth, it is their second nature. And it is our responsibility to tell you guys about new fascinating discover we made not hide it. And this proof that is it would be pointless for scientist to hide the truths from people.
One of the most vauble reason is that the picture was taken in the 1900s. At the time the camera qualities and technowlogy weren't as advance as nowdays. The article state that there were three perfect shot of the picture taken one from 1976, 1998, and 2001. there is abig difference in each of these shot. In the 1976 picture it show a picture of what seem to be a face but later on in the 1998 picture it show a disoriented face or landform. Then in the last picture in 2001 it show a martian or a natural landform such as one that is in Earth. The qualities in these has much difference as the 2001 one being the most advance. The face also was effect by shadow from Mars, as state in the article that the dark color for the eys and nose plus mouth of the face image was cause by shadow from an angle in Mars due to the camera not being able to take a perfect angle of the martian. And all these fact are poiting out that the face on Mars is a false information.
With information scientist have been gathering and finding an alien being or an acient civilization on Mars is a dead end. The media is have a great effect on the people minds leading them to not see the truth that the face on Mars is a very false idea coming from the people minds, Now that the facts has been out to public people are agreeing with the scientist more and more. Thus all these facts and research from scientists leading to that the Face on Mars is FALSE but just a martian landform.

The opinions of others can be very helpful in the future. Such as opinions of helping you with something you don't understand. The opinions from others are what shape our personality/lifestyle, this is because opinions are mostly statements of what we need to do correctly or what we need to improve on. For example a man is trying to get better at something but is having a difficult time grasping what he needs, but if someone who understands the skill shares their opinion of how they understood it easier, then the man will most likey have an easier time understanding the concept behind it, and if the man is still having trouble then he can just ask others until he finds a method that suits him. To sum it up the example stated above tells us that if you don't undestand how to do something then just ask and someone will in time help you.
Opinions can also can also change the way you view your lifestyle/everyday routine. Lets say someone finds you eating or drinking something unhealthy, so they decide to express their opinion about how you should properly take care of your body and not eat junkfood because it can lead to medical issues, you could ignore it or you could listen to the harm of what not taking care of your body can do. If you listened then you would most likely stop eating junkfood and find something more healthier to sooth your cravings, so you try to find something, but nothing came to mind, but that's when you remember you have an app that lets you see everyone's opinions in catagories. I don't know why you would go to so much trouble for not even trying peoples opinions on different foods or drinks that are healthy, so lets assume you do try them, so you later get into this habit of eating it so much it turns into a daily routine. Good for you you are now eating healthy food all the time because of other peoples opinions.
Another reason why you should listen to others opinions is because they can help with what you know and don't know. If you use snapchat, intagram, and facebook then you will most likely find an opinion in the first ten seconds that your in the app, this is because the app was designed to share someone's opinions with others. If you look on the app you probably find something new and interesting that could help you in the future whithout you even knowing that you got this skill from an opinion that was off of an app. These opinions are what give you knowledge, for example we started off as caveman but then someone came along and was like,""this is not good enough,"" and created a fire, then many other world changing opinions were expressed and that led us to this point in time now. To summerize it someone learned off of someone else and then that just kept happening millions of times and is still happening to this day with the ideas on how were going to put humans on Mars.

This is because it isn't a hundred percent safe, though Google has cars that have been driven for a million miles without a crash, stated in passage 2.

Students need to be with a teacher when they need help, they shouldn't have to set up a video conference. Most students need a teacher at all times during a class period so they can explain in depth the topics that are being discussed. Having a teacher explain right in front of you is easier for myself and many other students. For example, if a student needed help outside of their scheduled class time, how would they reach the teacher without disrupting their other classes that they are teaching? There wouldn't be a possible way for a student to get a hold of their teacher without causing any disruptions.
Having other students in front of you that would help with work and projects is also a plus of going to school everyday. Getting a students perspective on different assignments and projects could actually save your grade. Sometimes you just need a little encouragement from your peers to get you through your assignments.

Dear Mr. Principal,
I believe that students should not be required to do community service. It is their choice. If they want to, they should but you can not force them to do so. I also believe that you should only make students who have gotten in trouble or been bad to do community service as punishment if you want to. This will help the community and make them learn their lesson. For an illustration, if a girl or a guy gets into trouble instead of giving them detention, just make them help out the world by doing some community service. This explains that it will benefit you and your world. This also illustrates that this punishment is better because in detention, you do nothing and just keep quiet but with this, they actually do something which would make them very sore and make them never want to do it again. I believe that detention rate might go down because of this. Time is very valuable which is why community service should be a choice.
People who do community services for free I believe should feel happy with themselves and shouldn't care what other people thinks. For a demonstration, if you have done something good and you friend told that it was a waist of time, you shouldn't care what they think. This explains that if you don't care, they might stop since people will stop if you show no reaction. This also explains that people can feel happy with what they do no matter what. This is why people shouldn't care about how people judges them.

C9BA274FDEBC,"Dear principle,
I think that more kids should help out the community every once in awhile. But what i also think that kids should have the freedom to choose what they want to do in their free time. If they feel that they should help out the community then they can. But others do not have the time or they might just have other things they might rather to do.
Since community service helps the environment and helps keep the town clean, i think you should maybe start a club where they can do these kind of things. If they so desire to join the club they will have the free will to choose. Some of the kids might think that it is a waste of there time. Well, add something interesting to the club that will grab other kids attention. Like for example have fun activities that is community work, but is fun for the kids to do. If their was a club that did community service, i wouldn't join, but if the club wasn't all revolved around community work and had other activities to do, i think i might be more willing to join.
Don't make the club all about community service. Have little activities that the kids will enjoy doing. Like making art out of things from the out doors or maybe have camping at a park. Something that will sound interesting enough for the kids to enjoy.
They key point is that some people thing community work isn't for them because it doesn't sound appealing. If you take away their freedom to do what they want they could get upset for that. But when you give them the freedom to chose some might be willing to join the club. I think that a community club is a good thing to do and so might others.

ED96E3AB5161,"The effects of greenhouse gas emission began to take their toll on the earth's atmosphere simply by its own natural output. As time has gone on though, and humans and their ways of transportation have evolved, greenhouse gas emission is becoming more of a problem. Automobiles, mainly cars, play a huge role in the production of nasty fumes and gases that become trapped in the atmosphere. For example, in Europe passenger cars make up twelve percent of total greenhouse gas emission, and in heavily congested areas such as the United States-it can skyrocket up to fifty percent!
Some nations/countries are beginning to take a new approach to battle the ""War of Greenhouse Gases"". As studies have shown that national driving levels and the amount of people purchasing cars and earning their licenses are dropping after their peak in 2005, people are more and more willing to put down the car keys and put on their running shoes. One of these places in particular is the city of Vauban and is located in Germany. It is a middle-class to upper class community and its citizens can be considered pioneers of suburbia. Vauban does not permit driving in it's limits, besides the main thoroughfare, and a few side streets. Car owners buy a space for their car for $40,000 alongside a home.
While some might argue about the practicality of not driving your car if you have one, it's shown to be extremely beneficial not only for the environment, but for people as well. When you go outside, whether you're headed somewhere or just on a casual stroll, you may reach Nirvana as you enjoy the true sounds of nature. In places where cars are permitted to drive, you might hear the sound of birds chirping outside your window, or the calm rustle of leaves rustling in the wind, but the rumbles, roars, and honks of a car are not far behind. In areas such as Vauban, the beautiful sounds of the world won't be drowned out by a greasy hunk of steel.
Besides feeling at peace, a life without a car is a healthier life! Now, when you want to go somewhere, you must rely on your own two feet. Those two feet, bicycle, skateboard, etc. will be all you need to get where you're going! Unlike many places though, everything is within walking distance for convenience and to encourage you to take these steps. Notice the physical and emotional changes in yourself once in a place with no cars-you'll feel more relaxed, less rushed, and your body will thank you.

Established in 2006, it prohibits street parking, driveways, and home garages, allowing car ownership but limiting parking to large garages on the development's edge, costing $40,000 per space. This innovative concept has led 70% of Vauban’s families to live without cars, with 57% selling their cars to move there. Emphasizing “smart planning,” Vauban is a model in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, a critical factor in combating global warming. The district, home to 5,500 residents, showcases how suburban areas can be more compact, accessible to public transportation, and less car-dependent. This approach aligns with efforts in the U.S. and Europe to develop suburbs that favor public transport and walking, with amenities within walking distance. However, despite these efforts, challenges remain in changing car-centric attitudes and adapting urban planning regulations to support such sustainable living models.",https://huggingface.co/datasets/nlpatunt/dataset_rubrics/raw/main/Persuade/score_prompt_template.html
4B7B7D384FFF,"In the 1950's the General Motors created the special test track to use an eleteric cable that sends radio signals from the back of the car to the front of the car to tell people if they are in danger or if they need to taka over of the car! Also in the 1980's automakers used speed sensors at the wheels of the car so that they can use auto brakes. With in 10 years those sensors had become more advance with the Auto driving Cars and help respond to the danger of out-of-control skids or rollovers that may happen in a crash.
These smart-road systems worked very well and used massive upgrades to existing roads, that was simply to expencive. The smarter road option turned smarter cars. For starters they needed alot of sensors all around the car to help it protect the passengers inside of the vehical.
Driving Assisting is alot of help for people that are driving the Auto driving car! They have antilock breaks to help stop a crash waiting to happen. They also have a traffic jam assistant that funtions the speen up to 25 mph. Special sensors are behind the wheel so that the wheel makes sure that the driver keeps ahold of the wheel. The car can stear and use the break itself, and it can also warn the passinger when it wants the driver to take over the wheel. The car makes them take over the wheel because the car doesnt know how to get through work zones or around accidents. The way it helps people is the Auto brakes and the Traffic Jam Assistint, also the seats in the car vibrate the vehicle is in danger when trying to back up.
The laws focus on keeping drivers safe and the passangers safe while riding in this vehical. They also want to keep pedestrians safe when they are walking across the road or on the side walk! Most states these Auto Driving Cars are illigal like in California, Navada, and Flordia. The law acually agrees that these cars are safer even from all the stupid people whp drive on the roads.
I think that these Auto driving car would be alot safer! It will help people who like to text while driving and it will help people get in less recks in the future.

19637A48A8CE,"With the new use of technology, the ability to read someones emotion by the simpliest look is within our grasp. The ability to read your emotion is easy as said done. Why not put something like this that can read out faces inside school. Traspass their privacy. Even so, during school it would not come in handy with any student anytime during the day. Being watched by a face recongnition in the home of many, is an event many would not agree with.
During the school year, for example, a high school. Where would a Facial Action Coding System fit into? This would not benifit our education other than waste it. The new technology being used on students to detect their emotions is a privacy violation. Students would not want their face being read and pictured by a new face detection. For example, in the story it says, ""Imagine being able to detect exactly how other people are feeling, even when they are trying to hide their emotions."" With this being said, this technology invades our space. Some students don't want their emotions being let out; they might want it to keep that private information to themselves, unless they realease it by themselves. This could happen to anyone, even without them realizing it. For example, sitting in the right position across from the Facial Action Coding System, the victims emotion may be violated without their concent. In the story it reads, ""...if you smile when a Web ad appears on your screen, a smiliar ad might follow. But if ou frown, the next ad will be different."" This text shows a program reading your face in real time for all the time you are on your own laptop. Having your own computer reading your face every second while being in your own home would not be welcomed to many. It's a violation to privacy to use and our freedom.
In conclusion, the Facial Action Coding System would not be of use for students. Our minds and face are focused in a different direction rather than facing this machine to read out emotions. Whether this new technology is useful or not, it would not be of good use for a classroom full of faces.",,371,Facial action coding system,Text dependent,"In the article ""Making Mona Lisa Smile,"" the author describes how a new technology called the Facial Action Coding System enables computers to identify human emotions.

EF23CA70CA1F,"Technology has evolved greatly in the past few decades. As a result, computers are replacing many traditional ways of performing tasks. Technology has allowed students to attend classes online. Many people are skeptical about the benefits of attending classes from home. Students would benefit from being able to take classes online because students can be more comfortable, work at their own pace, and be less distracted.
If students are more comfortable, then they will be more productive. Cars have adjustable seating and air temperature so that the drivers can be as comfortable as possible so that they can focus on driving. Many students complain about the cold temperature of the school and the stiffness of the chairs. It often leaves students feeling tired and cramped. If students are focused on how uncomfortable they are, then their mind is not completely occupied by their school work. People with stage fright do not complete their job as well as singers that do not have stage fright because they are nervous and do not like attention.
Students who are not comfortable in their own skin will not perform as well as other students because they are too nervous to ask questions or ask for help in front of their peers. If students can work from home, it erases the stress of looking a certain way in front of other students. Taking online classes allows for a more relaxing and comforting environment.
Allowing students to work at their own pace will benefit them. In the movie ""RV""
, a family goes on vacation and meets another family who home schools their children. The kids that are home schooled are much farther ahead than the kids that go to public school. The kids that work at home are able to learn the curriculum at the pace best suited for them. They do not have to worry about what other kids are struggling with. When people are running races, they go a comfortable speed that they can continue running for the whole race. This is so that they do not burnout at the beginning. It is the same way with students. If the teacher is instructing at a speed too fast for a student then they put all their effort into the work in the beginning then struggle to keep up. Taking a class online will give students the opportunity to work at a comfortable pace, allowing for students to create the best work possible.
Less distractions will increase a student's focus. When a soccer player has to take a penalty kick if a game is tied, the crowd is not supposed to yell and scream so that the player can have a clear mind. With a clear mind, they are more able to complete their task. Often times, students do not have a clear mind in the classroom because of the other students. It does not matter if they are inside the room talking with their peers or outside the room walking down the hall, these other students will take someone's mind away from the task at hand. When kids are first learning how to drive, they are told to not listen to the radio or drive their friends as a way to limit distractions. They might not notice important road signs, turns, or other cars. Students need to have peace and quiet to give their schoolwork complete focus, just like driving. They could miss important information like instructions given by a teacher. Distractions created by the classroom lead to less concentration that could be increased by taking classes online.
An argument against online classes would be that students are less motivated to learn if they are not in a classroom setting because they do not feel forced. When students are in the school building, they have to do the work assigned by the teacher while in class. They cannot opt out and do the classwork later. If a student is taking a class online and gets to pick when they do their work, then the student might become lazy and procrastinate, resulting in lower quality work. A rebuttal to this would be that while that is true, an online class will prepare students for college. In college nobody is forcing the students to do work and nobody is going to stop a student if they choose to not do assignments. It is the student's responsibility to do their work and an online class could help prepare people for that.
Being more comfortable, working at their own pace, and being less distracted are all benefits of students being able to take classes online. Parents and teachers just want kids to get the best possible grades. This could be a great way to help students raise their class scores. Students are the future leaders of the world and this could help them be as educated as possible.

34BABC0E3795,"I think students should be able to participate in after school activities if they have a c for a lot of reasons. One reason why is because some students don't learn as fast as others so some students grades might not be as good as others either. Also if that student is not good at one subject why should they kick him off the team. I also think that the teachers should help a student that is not doing good.
It does not matter about the learning pace of students. I think that because some students learn faster they will get good grades and they will if they want to be able to be on a team. So what happens with the people who don't learn as fast. They won't get a b and they won't be able to be on a team. so at least if they can get a c than they can be.
Everyone has a subject that they are not that good at. For example i am not good at science. so why should they stop someone from being on a team if they struggle at one subject. Now if you are totally failing then they could stop you from being on a team for you can get more studying time. But a c no way.
It is all about the teachers and the way they teach. Some teachers don't teach really well and you end up failing their class, But if they are good teachers and they explain things clearly to you then you should pass, But if you are failing then the teachers should make you stay after school for they could try to make you understand the concept on which he is trying to make you understand.
So my main point is that if you have a c they should let you participate in school activities. because one students don't learn as fast as others. two some students might not be good at one subject and three teachers should at least try to help a student that is not doing so well. So I hope the principle agrees with me, But do you!

38E6B2B33628,"I believe that driverless cars are and are going to be a great piece of technology development.
Driverless cars could give us a life changing future.
Driverless cars may sound questionable to some people but, I believe they could be safer than our vehicles today.
Google, BMW, GM, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Nissan have been working on creating safe, driverless vehicles for the last 10-15 years.
How far they have come in just this short amount of time amazed many people.
How far they are still planning to come will blow some people away.
Sensors alone have come a long way in just the past 10 years.
They are built to detect danger and respond to danger in possible accidents.
What the sensors can detect is far better than the response and control of a human driver
(ParaG 5).
The car is not totally driverless. I find this to be a plus for driverless cars.
Because technology is not always reliable, humans do need to assist with some of the things that technology can't be reliable for.
Just in 2013 BMW announced the ""Traffic Jam Assistant.""
Then it could drive up to 25 mph.
Only going 25 mph, the car requires the driver to hold onto the wheel.
All the vehicles are designed to warn or notify the driver when it needs humans skills.
Companies are coming up with many ways to inform the human that assistance is needed.
Google has had cars that could drive independently under specific conditions since 2009.
Their cars have driven more than half a million miles without a crash (ParaG. 2).
Human drivers today have crashes daily.
No matter what, everytime someone gets in a car they are putting their life in danger. I believe that with the new technolgy advances in driverless cars, the number of car crashes would decrease tremendously.
Overall I believe that the advances for driverless vehicles have come so far in their development in just a short number of years. I think that driverless vehicles will be a safer and more efficient way of driving for our future.

1C8C28FBE64E,"Have you ever met someone or know someone that does classes for school at home? Well, this is called home school or online classes. Many schools offer these program for children and teens. Some may say that online classes are not beneficial at all but I say it is. Online classes are beneficial because many children have health issues, they move to different places, and some children learn at different paces. Home school or online classes are beneficial to many children.
Firstly, many children have health issues that require them to stay at home. For example, a child can be connected to a medical machine that is require to stay in one spot or can be hard to move around. Therefore, the child must stay at home or at a hospital. The child somehow has to get an education, therefore, his or her parent can enroll the child to do online classes. Eventhough, the child is not in a classroom environment, the child can still learn by doing his or her courses online. Online classes are beneficial when a child can not access a classroom due to health issues.
Secondly, many children move to different places due to parent's job. For example, a child has parents that are in they army. His or her parents have to move to a different location that their commander has order them to move. The child will have to move to a whole new different school in order to keep getting a education, they will have to adapt to that new school environment, and be prepare to move again. With online classes the child will not be enrolled in any other school and go through paper work every single time they move. Having parents that move for jobs can be real difficult, especially for the child. With online classes they can move and still learn without the hassle of filling out paper work and adpating to a new school.
Thirdly, children learn at different paces. Many children need more time to learn specific subjects then others. For example, a child in a classroom can be behind than the other children in the classroom. That child is having a hard time keeping up and is struggling a lot. Well, with online classes the child can work at his or her pace and can get a better understanding of the subjects they struggle in. Also, the child can have contact with a teacher that can help him or her answer a question they do not understand. Online classes are very useful to help a child learn and not be rush to learn the material they need to learn.
Many have said that online classes are not beneficial at all. They say it's a lot to pay for materials the children need, the children don't do the work, and that children can stay with relatives while the parent moves. Well, I believe that online school are very beneficial to children because it helps children a lot when it comes down to education. All children are not the same and have different situations that requires them to do online classes.
In conclusion, online classes are beneficial to children because of health issues, moving, and learning at different paces. Not every child is going to have the opportunity to wake up in the morning and go to school, but with online classes every child is going to have the opportunity to have an education. So, when you think about why online classes are so important, think about how every child is not the same and some need more time to learn then others.",,595,Distance learning,Independent,Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing.

08F739CC6387,"Your Phone Can Wait
You hear this everywhere, from Television commercials to regalatory road signs on the highway, ""Don't text and drive.'' This phrase has so much meaning to it, saving the lives of many if actually doing what it's telling you to do. Texting and driving is illegal and it should stay as that. Sometimes being able to connect with the world with only a few taps of your fingertips to a screen can have it's cons especially when it comes in the way of you and your driving. Which can affect your attention span in driving, putting innocent lives plus your life at risk and being more likely to crash while doing it.
Driving should be something you put all your attention to when doing it. Keeping your eyes on the road, having both hands on the steering wheel and a foot to the brakes & gas are the only things you should be doing when driving. Phones are a distraction to this and cause you not to put all your focus into handling your motor vehicle. Imagine your driving 55 mph, you take your eyes off the road for a few seconds just to check if someone texted you back that's like if you were driving the length of a football field with your eyes closed. Anything can happen within those few seconds, things can go sideways just with a snap of a finger.
According to Carsurance. net, In 2018 there were 4,637 deaths alone related to the use of a mobile device while conducting. Today, there is an average of 9 deaths and 1,000 injuries per day. Is it really worth putting that happy family crossing the street to get to their favorite ice cream shop on a sunny day at risk? Not only are you putting innocent lives at risk but your also jeopardizing your own life as well and whoever else's life is in your hands. That would come out very bad for you even if you get hurt as well.
Texting and driving can be the equivalent to driving under the influence, in many cases they both end up leading with bad turnouts. Some might think that driving under the influence of drugs/alcohol is worse but in reality texting and driving is. Even though you're under the influence you still have an idea of your surroundings and have caution. When it comes to texting and driving you're not aware at all of whats going on around you or can see what can happen.
Every person should have the same mindset about texting and driving or think more on it. During these years is when the safety should be increased because this generation is not so much worried on things like that. As i said, it is a priority to be cautious about driving and the dangers of using any device.

B3388EF1E80C,"Summer is a great way to take a break from school, but also to apply knowledge to the real world. In some areas, students are required to complete summer projects to ensure they continue to learn over their break. These projects are usually designed by the teachers, who want their students to be as prepared as possible for what they will learn in the fall. However, some argue that summer projects should be designed by students, as they can create engaging ways to educate themselves. This can better prepare students for the ways they will apply what they learned in school in the real world. Summer projects should be designed by students because they can create projects they want to complete, they can incorporate their real-world knowledge and experience, and they can design a project they know will be possible for them to complete.
Despite the benefits of student-designed projects, those who favor ones designed by teachers point to the fact that teachers can base projects off the curriculum students will have to learn during the school year and thus help students feel more prepared. However, students who design these summer projects can easily be given a description of the required curriculum to guide them while they design their projects. This will allow them to find ways they can incorporate the material into an achievable project. Additionally, teachers who are focused solely on the curriculum may end up assigning a project that students do not understand due to a lack of prior knowledge needed to complete the project. Students can pick a part of the curriculum they may already have some background knowledge about to create a project that will help them take an in-depth look at something they will be learning more about. Thus, it is possible for students to create a project that addresses important parts of the material they will learn.
Students who are able to design their own projects can create projects they are interested in completing, leading to a more engaging learning experience. When asked to complete a project they are interested in, students are more likely to complete the assignment and be enthusiastic about what they learn in the process. This elevated engagement presents itself in increased academic achievement, including higher scores on standardized tests, and better retention of material, instead of forgetting it as they continue on their academic path. This level of engagement and the associated benefits is lacking in teacher-designed projects because they do not cater to the interests of the students. These projects miss out on the benefits found in student-designed projects. Thus, while teacher-designed projects may share short-term benefits such as better understanding of the material, they do not maintain the long-term retention necessary for later successes such as boosted standardized test scores. When students design the projects, they are able to create a more engaging experience that leads to better learning.
Students are able to incorporate their knowledge and experience into projects they design, whereas teachers might assign one that they are unfamiliar with. Teachers do not know the experiences of the students they are designing projects for, so they may create one that students struggle applying their real-world knowledge to or one that only focuses on the curriculum instead of ways the learning material can be applied to life outside of school. Students can find creative ways to link what they learn in school to its applications in the real world. This better prepares students for their future lives and careers, where they will be applying what they learned in school instead of being continually tested on it. These students are more prepared for what they will be doing after they finish their education because of this prior experience in applying their knowledge and experience. This also reminds students that there is a world outside of school, creating worldly citizens who are able to apply what they learned to solving problems.
Students can be assured that they will have a project that they can complete when they design their own project, instead of one that may be too challenging or that they might not have the resources to complete. Teachers who are unfamiliar with the students and their circumstances may overestimate the students and create a project that is too difficult for students to complete on their own. They might also design a project that students do not have the ability to complete-if a teacher were to assign an essay on what a student learned by traveling, a low-income student may not be able to do it if their family cannot afford to travel. Students are more familiar with their own abilities and resources and can create a project that will provide a good challenge while not being too confusing or difficult. Reaching out for assistance would also be easier, as confused students could reach out to their peers instead of a teacher they do not know. Teachers are prone to creating a project that may be difficult or impossible to students they are unfamiliar with, but students are able to design ones based on their own abilities and resources.
Students should design summer learning projects because they can create more interesting ways to learn, they can design ways to incorporate their real-world experiences to the academic curriculum, and they can make a project that will not be too difficult for them to complete over summer break. Students can design more engaging projects based on their interests that will ultimately increase benefits such as higher standardized tests scores and retention of material. Their ability to design projects that incorporate the curriculum into the real world will better prepare them for life and work after they complete their education. In school districts where summer projects are used, parents should advocate for student-designed projects to better their children's education.",,965,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

94498CE633F3,"Dear State Senator
I know you have been thinking about if we should still use ""Electoral collage"" or changing to election by ""popular vote for the president of the United States."" I am here to inform you that i believe that keeping the Electoral College may still help us. By having Electoral College you can swing states and biggers states.
To begin with, keeping the electoral college may be a good idea. When having you could swing states. In the passage ""In Defense Of The Electoral College:Five Reasons To Keep Our Despised Method Of Choosing The President"" the passage states that ""The winner-take-all method of awarding electoral votes induces the candidates""(paragraph 20) The qoute is explaining that by having candidates from toss up states, the voters would help the elections. The voters would actually be interested in the electon and pay attention to what is happening. Having voters from toss up states may help decide the election.
Second, Keeping Electoal College may benefit us in many ways. If we keep Electoral College than we would bring in bigger states. In the passage its states that "" The Electoral College restores some of the weight in the political balance that large states (by population) lose by virtue of the mal-apportionment of the senate decreed in the constitution."" (paragraph 21) The quote is explaing that when there is a bigger state involved then the larger states would get the most attention from any presidential candidates. Being a larger states give people more of a advantage. An example they gave in the paragraph 21 (5. big states) it explains that ""the popular vote was very close in florida(in 2012); nevertheless obama, who won that vote,got 29 electoral votes."" the example was explaining that since florida was bigger we got more votes so that lead to Obama winning.
In conclusion,thats why i believe we should keep Electoral College. Electoral Collage would swing states, and involve big states.

82C8D991C949,"Dear TEACHER_NAME,
I heard that you were changing the Cell phone policy at school and that you haven't picked witch new policy yet. In my opinion i don't think that cell phones should be allowed at school because they can get stolen and are a distraction.
My first example is how a cell phone can get stolen. Most kids bring there cell phones to school and take them around with them, like my friend RELATIVE_NAME. RELATIVE_NAME did not have a P.E. locker last year; So she shared one with her friend. One day she had put her phone and ipod into the locker and left it there over the weekend. Sadly her friend had forgotten to put the lock back onto her locker. The next Monday RELATIVE_NAME came back to get her Phone and ipod. Both had been stolen. RELATIVE_NAME was devastated, Also like most teenagers she was obsessed with her cell phone. Her parents weren't very happy Also.
There was another girl that i knew when i was in sixth grade. At my other school we did not get lockers at all, We all had to carry around back packs.
One day her phone drooped out of her pocket in P.E. and she had no clew where it had gone. All her friends helped her search for it for days. Luckily for her a student found it and turned it in.
My Next Example of why we should not be able to have cell phones at school is because they are a distraction. Last year There was a class that i was in where the teacher let the kids text or listen to music while they worked. The only bad part was that none of the kids worked. And the kids like me who were trying to work kept getting distracted by all the talking, clicking, and the blasting rap music coming from there phones. It gave me a headache. I couldn't stand how much noise was going on and so i did not get much work done and i almost failed the class. One of the student in my class also got enjoyed and told the guidance councilor what was happing. The rest of the year i was able to work in peace because the assistant principal kept coming in to make shore that there was no moor craziness.
To sum it all up, i think that cell phones should not be allowed at school because they are very distracting and can get stolen at school.",,412,Cell phones at school,Independent,"Your principal is reconsidering the school's cell phone policy. She is considering two possible policies:

B5868ECDF875,"Giving advise is like two ears, you always have to listen. When people ask for advise, they sometimes talk to more than one person. You should always ask for more than one person's opinion, for it's better to hear more than one person's opinion, seeking advise from multiple can help out a lot, and sometime's you may not like the advise that one person is giving you.
To begin with, it's better to hear more than one person's opinion. When somebody is giving you advise you should ask more than one person to hear what they have to say. You cannot just take someone's opinion and run with it because what their telling you might not be right and you could get in trouble for taking their advise. For example if I got in an argument and I ask for my friend's advise and she tell's me to do something bad than I could get in trouble for using her advise when I should have asked multiple people. So asking for more than one person's advise is better so you won't get in trouble.
Also, seeking advise from multiple people can help out a lot. If you need advise you could ask a few friend's that you're not that close to because they may give you good advise and you could build a stronger bond with them. Also if you ask multiple people for advise some might say they same thing and some might say different so you can choose from the one's who are telling you the same thing. For example, if I were asking people for advise and most people are telling me the same thing I would choose the advise that most people are telling me. Hearing multiple people's opinion's can help in different but good ways so you should always ask more than one person's opinion.
Finally, sometimes you may not like the advise that one person is giving you. Some people could give you bad advise or tell you something that's not in the right so you might not like that. If you don't like what one person is telling you could go ask someone else like a friend or a school councilor and they might give you better advise. For example if I was given bad advise I would go ask someone else that I know would give me good advise. If you were given bad advise maybe you should ask multiple people next time.
In conclusion, you should seek multiple peoples opinion's. It could help out a lot with problems that you're going through it could also help if you just need to talk. If you ever get bad advise than you should ask multiple people. You should not just take one person opinion because it might not be something that's good and you could get in trouble in the long for it. So if you ever need advise ask more than one person.

People who like to participate in sports should just be allowed to do what they love. some people just cant get their grades up in time for a game.

If you would like to make students get better grades, you should make the activities much more fun and tell them that if they want to participate that they'll have to get better grades in order to participate.

Also for drunk drivers who could think since their car runs by itself they can get on the road drunk, no thats not how it works because at some point you would have to take control, and they could loose control and boom a car crash.
Another reason Im against driverless cars is because it would be pretty stupid to just be sitting in a car that drives it self. If your that lazy to not drive on your own you can just hop in a uber that can take you where you need to go. It can also be dangerous for young teens that don`t know how to drive who would also think they can hop in and get on the streets since the car drives by itself and wouldn`t need to do anything but just sit back and relax while the car drives itself.

When people answer phone calls, text messages, sending, or reading messages it can be a risk because they aren't paying attention to the rode instead they are paying attention to their conversations. When people stop at a red light they start looking at their phones and don't pay attention when the light turns green.

Some people get bad calls like business issues can be stressful and dangers because of the conversation they are having. The conversation that they might be having may cause emotional reactions and it can lead to accidents.

Many countrys have taken an interest in limiting cars temporarly to decrease smog, or dedicating individual communitys to a car free area with the exception of buses and taxis.
High pollution levels is a rising epedemic that needs to be stoppped before it is out of hand or un-reversable. Many country's plan to action is limiting car usage for a certain amount of time untill the smoge is under control. It states in source two paragraph ten that ""After days of near record pollution, Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city."" Within the five days that this rule was enforced the smog in the city had decreased by 60 percent.

52F671887530,"Dear Senator:
Over the years, people have been disputing over the Electoral College. Some people want it abolished while others want it to stay. The Electoral College is not working and and it needs to be abolished. For many reasons, the Electoral College has not worked. It is unfair to the voters, it causes voters to not vote, and it is unfair to the candidates.
The Electoral College is unfair to the voters. According to source 2, :""Voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president."" The whole point of voting is so that you, along with many people, can decide who will be the next president! Voting for people to elect a president is just not right. It causes voters to not vote because they know that their vote really won't matter. Source 2 also states that candidates don't spend time in small states, ""focusing only on the tight races in the 'swing' states."" That is causing smaller states like Rhode Island and South Carolina to have less knowledge on the candidates. If I didn't know too much about a candidate, I wouldn't vote at all! Even though people in those states did vote, they might not have known a lot about the candidates and voted for the wrong person.
The people running for office want to win. Source 3 says that someone could have a higher popular vote but lose the election. Is that fair to the candidate? Winning the popular vote but losing the election? No, it isn't. Winning the popular vote means that more people want you in office. If the majority of America wants a certain person to be the president of their country, that means that the winner of the election would be the majority vote. The Electoral College denys that basic right of Americans by not letting them choose their president. That alone is unfair to the candidates and to the voters.
Now you might be saying that the Electoral College has worked for a very long time and shouldn't be changed. Although the Electoral College has been working for a long time, that is the only thing that America has tried. If America used the popular vote, it could've changed elections. The Electoral College hasn't been working because it is causing more and more voters to stop voting and it is making it where only the majority vote doesn't matter. Citizens of America should have the right to chose the president by majority vote.
In conclusion, the Electoral College is unfair to the voters, it causes voters to not vote, and it is unfair to the candidates. As an American citizen, you have the right to vote. The Electoral College is taking that away and it needs to be stopped.

9A3D0EC89E65,"Earth is the third planet in our solar system , and the big rock we humans inhabit in todays time. Living on Earth, conditions are pretty good with inhabitable surface temperature, low atmospheric pressure, and breathable air. Our space neighbors, however, aren't so lucky. The two closest planets to Earth are Mars and Venus. Venus, however, is the most closely related to Earth is density and size, and distance in some cases. The only problem is that Venus has a very harsh landscape, and humans even fitted with the most capable technology wouldn't last very long . So,why should we study Venus if its one of the most dangerous neighbors you could ever have? The author who wrote this article claims that Venus's surface can reach over 800 degrees fahrenheit , and have an atmospheric pressure 90 times greater than Earths. The author emphazises, though, on the fact that Venus ""may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system."" The author then proceeds to elaborate on this, stating that Venus may have once covered with various lifeforms and may have been covered largely with oceans, and that studying Venus could solve some of the biggest planetary mysteries . Paragraph 4 states, ""Today, Venus still has some planetary features analogous to those on Earth. The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters."" The author then proceeds to state how The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has been exploring some ideas to send humans to Venus for studies. Paragraph 5 states, ""Imagine a blimp-like vehicle hovering 30 or so miles above the roiling Venusian landscape... a vehicle hovering over Venus would avoid the unfriendly ground conditions by staying up and out of their way.""
In Paragraph 8, the author then concludes with stating that , ""meeting the challenge presented by Venus has value.""

9E0F552B6A65,"Dear Ms. Principal:
It has come to my attention as a student, that you may be changing your policies on cell phone use in school. It is my personal opinion that you should allow student to use their phones outside of class. I think this because, myself being a student here, cell phones allow students to contact their families, contact teaching staff, and stay in touch with one another during school hours.
First off, we students are often given difficult projects that we must complete. For example, a group project assigned to two students who don't see each other outside of school hours. Wouldn't it be better for these to students to be able to speak to one another during school hours? This is one of my reasons for supporting the use of cell phones during free time.
Secondly, students may need to contact their families during the day. A student may be a bus rider, but due to bad weather the student may need to be picked up by car. It would be much easier for this student to be able to use their cell phone then to have to borrow one from a teacher or go to the office. Or they may need to tell their mother or father to turn the stove off or let the dog out.
lastly, a student may need to contact a member of the teaching staff for information on a project. Or they may need to ask a question about tonight's homework. Or maybe another student falls and injures themselves, or a fight brakes lose, it would be easy and very convenient to be able to use cell phones in school.
To conclude, the use of cell phones during school would be very beneficial for the student population. I hope I have made you see clearer the benefits of allowing us students to use them.
Sincerely, a concerned student.",,311,Cell phones at school,Independent,"Your principal is reconsidering the school's cell phone policy. She is considering two possible policies:

I think that policy one is the best policy to choose. I think its the best because kids these days enjoy to be on their phone whether its talking or texting or maybe even playing some games. I also think that it is best to use them during free time or during lunch periods because if we use them in class we will become unfocused and get bad grades and not do the work that was assigned to us because we were to busy on our phones talking to other people. Kids entertain themselves with their phones. I think that policy one is best for the kids. So they shouldn't be able to complain about this policy because they have enough time in lunch periods to talk or text. Plus they get more than enough free time in our classes. I also think that policy one is the best because what if one the kids have to use their phone because they are hurt or have something private like if they got dirty or that they got sick, they have to tell their parents while they are in school. But if policy two that's not going to be able to happen and the kids will be mad.

8AAA87E056FD,"Have you ever needed advice from someone? If so, you probably talked to multiple people before you went on with what you were going to do. Some of the many reasons people do this include getting different perspectives, see the other side of an issue, and get more information on the subject.
The biggest reason someone may ask another person for advice is because there are different perspectives that can go with a subject. You can talk to people you may not see eye to eye with and get insight on their differing opinion. This leads to good discussions with people on the topic you're trying to learn about through the information you're given.
With advice, you want to know the other side of something and if what you're going to do is right or wrong. You can develop potential arguments to strengthen your side and you can know everyone's views to go along with your subject. Based on what you learn from everyone, you could get the full circle of information on what you'd like to learn about.
Lastly, you get more advice as well from asking others for advice. You can learn from other's experience, and in the end learn from your own. You'll know what went wrong in what the person did and why you're getting that advice. Other people will also think one thing is more important than the other. You'll have an overall bigger decision to make in the end with who's advice you're going to follow and how you're going to do it.

5F3F027AABDA,"During summer break, many teachers will assign a project that is designed to give students the freedom to work at their own pace and fully discover and interesting topic. When this project is designed too specifically by the teacher, however, many students become disinterested and only do the bare minimum of work. In order to keep students motivated, and make the project beneficial in their future lives, students should be allowed to design their own project for the summer. Student-designed summer projects motivate pupils to create higher quality products, solve diverse real-world problems, and develop unique skill sets that cannot be learned inside the classroom.
On the other hand, there are many who support the use of teacher-designed summer projects, because they are more related to the subjects taught in school and thus more useful in furthering students' education. Opponents cite several studies that show students forget nearly ten percent of what they learn in school over summer break. With a teacher-led project during the break, students will be encouraged to remember and use what they have learned in school instead of letting months of hard work in school go to waste. While it is true that students will learn more of the curriculum through a teacher-designed project, a better use of the time during summer is to teach subjects not covered in the curriculum. Topics that are specific to certain career fields can only be learned through independent study, and student-led summer projects are the most effective way to encourage this kind of study.
When students are given the freedom to choose a project that plays to their interests and learning style, instead of being forced to do a certain project by their teachers, the quality of the students' projects improves dramatically. One way that this freedom encourages a higher quality project is by increasing student engagement. Modern psychological studies have shown that students are less driven to succeed at a task if they feel they are being forced to accomplish it. Students allowed to choose their own summer project would not feel forced into a specific course of action, increasing their engagement in the assignment and thus the overall quality of their final project. Designing their own project also creates a higher-quality product by adapting it to their own learning styles. Psychologists working in the field of memory have found that students often learn best in one of four learning styles: Reading/Writing, Auditory, Visual, or Kinesthetic. With the ability to adapt the requirements of the assignment to their learning styles, students would create a higher-quality product with much less unnecessary effort. Because of this increase in quality, student-designed projects are also very effective at solving real-world problems.
Projects that have been chosen and designed by students create solutions to real-world problems in ways that teacher-led ones cannot. By deciding on their own projects, students can pursue interests that lie outside of the usual subjects found in school. Summer projects designed by teachers usually focus on one of the few categories of science, english, or mathematics that schools teach. Students who are provided the opportunity to design a project on their own will be able to pursue fields of study that are not touched on by schools, gaining knowledge in many other diverse areas of study. In addition, the ability to choose their own projects allow students to tackle problems that face our world today with their own unique solutions. As one example of this, a team of students who chose their own project for science class was able to create groundbreaking new technology for removing floating debris from the ocean, which has the potential to improve the lives of billions of people who depend on the health of the ocean to survive. If more students could pursue their interests in the same way that this team did, many new solutions to today's problems would emerge. In addition, students who pursue their own interests in this way are also much more prepared for their chosen careers in the future.
Student-designed projects develop unique skills in students that are not learned through teacher-led study. One skill that independent projects teach is the ability to do creative, independent work. As adults, many find that leadership positions in the workplace require some degree of creativity, and tasks must often be completed with little input from those higher in the chain of authority. By allowing students to produce their own ideas and work on their own schedule, rather than assigning students ideas and schedules, student-led projects encourage the traits that are necessary for any productive member of society. In giving students the independence to try out their own ideas, these projects also allow students to learn skills that are not covered by the main subjects of traditional schooling. For example, a student interested in becoming a veterinarian would not learn very much about his or her desired career through the core classes, but would learn a great deal through a project requiring him or her to study animals. Student-designed projects, therefore, are much more effective than teacher-designed ones when it comes to preparing students for their future professions, and for their future lives as a whole.
When students are presented the opportunity to design their own summer projects, they become motivated to improve the quality of their work, make a lasting impact on the real world, and develop unique skills that can aid them in future careers. When students are given the freedom to choose who they want to be early on in their lives, they become better equipped in the future to make their dreams a reality. In order to produce students who are skilled, effective, and motivated to succeed, teachers should allow their students to choose what subjects they would like to explore during the summer.",,958,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

Some know venus is a planet but we all can agree that it is very intresting but why would we use resources to get to venus here are some reasons why and not allow me to show you if it,s worth it. venus is not the farthest planet it is actually not too far so it makes it a viable option. The only thing is is that we have not been able to examine venus with amount of distance between earth and venus which doesn,t give us a lot of options but here is what we do know.
First of all venus is known as earths twin and it,s not called earths twin for no reason. Venus is the same size and density which would make it more acustomed to our way of liveing. sometimes venus is actually even the closest planet so if we timed it right it would make it less the journey. The only things is not a single unmanned ship has not survived for more than a few hours when sent to venus.
Basically this tells us at the moment that mars is a more viable option because we have actually landed unmanned ships on it to collect data this is why many people talk about mars instead of venus. Some problems that get in our way is the air venus has a thick atmosphere 97 percent is carbon dioxide. Not only that but venus atmosphere has highly corrosive acid the eviorment is much more harsh than earth.
This means that it will be a long time before we get to venus are bodies have adapted to earth over the years but it took over 2000 years for us to adapt to this level we can,t wait that long.

What to expect from nasa in the furture a blimp that might make us be able to get more data from venus. Maybe one day we will be able to inhabit venus with the ideas they are coming up with.

If my school made it a requirement to take extra school lessons like sports, yearbooks, or student council would I agree or not. I believe a student should not have to participate in other activities, because students already have enough homework from regular classes and electives, have their own activities after school, and the school would be more packed.
Doing the required activities means the activities will give out homework. Many students already have enough homework in their daily bases, and while taking another activity can increase more time on homework and shorten other activities the students would like to enjoy. After school I like taking naps, but if I have lots of homework then I would not be able to do so. Some students may have tests the following day and would like to study for it, but having more homework the student may not study as much as they would like to. In conclusion students already have enough homework and should not have to take extra activities and get more homework.
Many students have activities after school they do on their own time. Some students, like myself, may have more than one activity they are balancing. I have soccer, piano, and swimming that happens every week, and if I take school activities then I would not be able to take my own lessons. When students are required to take school activities their schedule might not have enough time to do the their own activity. If students do not take the required activity they might repeat a year, and many students would not like to retake a hard year. Although there are lots of people who also do not take activities it would be crucial to the kids that do. In conclusion when students take other activities outside of school and are required to take extracurricular activities students would not be able to their own.
If every single student is taking the extracurricular activity that would make the school crowded. When taking other activities it wouldn't be like taking normal school lessons, because there may be more people taking one activity and there would not be enough room for the students. If everyone would take the sports activity the school would not have enough gyms for everyone to go to. In conclusion if a students are required to take extra activities the school would not have enough rooms or activities.
I believe a student should not have to participate in other activities, because students already have enough homework from regular classes and electives, have their own activities after school, and the school would be more packed.

A3AEF9F996FB,"Have you ever had to do a project during the summer break? In some schools, they may require that you do a few projects in order to maintain what you have learned, usually being designed by the teachers, which may not work with most students. Instead, the students should design the projects as they know more what works for them educationally and they know how to adjust the project to their schedule.
Oftentimes, not all students learn content in the same ways; some students may be visual learners whereas others are more lecture based learners. This also extends to projects, where certain student excel better at certain categories, such as a music student being more effective at making music for a video project. Oftentimes in projects when a student can't effectively do a project, they get a lower grade, which lowers their average Grade Point Average alongside other things simply because they do not work well with the specific subject of the project. Because of this fact, students should design their projects as they know how they work as well as how the learn. Not only does a student designed project allow for the student to be more effective at completing it, it gives the students a greater interest in the topic, allowing both increased creative drive as well as increased motivation to complete the project.
When it comes to projects and deadlines, schools oftentimes roll out standards and assessments that don't take into account how the individual student would be able to effectively abide my them. In many cases there are students who are unable to complete assignments and attend events because of complications in their life that they can't control, such as, but not limited to: Needing to work to support their family, needing to care for a family member, having to travel to another country or place because of their family, and many more. In cases such as that, the projects and assignments set by the school, which are often based on the assumption that students do not possess any tasks beyond school, are simply hard if not impossible to complete for those students. If the students would be able to make their projects, then they can design them to fit alongside their life, making it so that they are more capable of accomplishing them. Alongside making it better for the students, it could help increase the high school graduation rate as many students drop out of high school because they are unable to complete their education.
In discussions of this topic, some may say that the students don't know what they need to do for the projects so they can't make them. This argument, however, is invalid for quite a few reasons. Firstly, the students know what the course that they took in the passing school year contained. As they know what the year contained, they can make their projects cover those topics. Secondly, the students don't need to design the project solely by themselves. The teachers of the respective course could be of assistance by providing a checklist of sorts to assist the students in making the project. Thirdly, the teachers who design projects often make them in a sweeping manner, which as been explained earlier doesn't work with all students.
In conclusion, summer projects that schools require should be made by students for a couple of reasons. These include the fact that students can adjust the project to fit their learning alongside that they can adjust it to better align with their life. For those reasons, schools should allow students to make their own summer projects.",,598,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

Many students can benefit by considering this new idea for students to take classes from home by the way of online or videos. Although, many other students would not be agree with this idea.
In my opinion, I am not agree with the idea for students to attend classes from home. First, if the students are in their houses they would have more distraction, for example; they can get distracted by the food, many time food is a big distraction for students to concentrate in classes. They can also get distract because of the television, they can see something interesting in the TV and they would quickly get distracted. Also one of the biggest distraction for everyone is the cellphone. If a student is taking classes at home; no one would be responsible to tell him/she not to use their cellphones. Second, they would not take it seriously. They would feel free because they are in their houses. Sometimes they might take the classes; and sometimes they would not take them because no one would be telling them to do it. They would feel allow to do whatever they want because they would not have the rules like in a classroom. If the student is in a classroom; he/she receive more information, more examples, more attention, and more help. Every teacher has rules in their classrooms; rules that help students to be successful. And third
They would not be able to learn as much as they would in a classroom. They would not be able to ask questions and get the answer they would need. They would not receive as much attention as they need.
However, many students support the idea for students to attend classes from home. It can be considered a good idea for many students; because they would not be traveling from one place to another; it would safe them time. Also many times when there is a bad weather outside; many schools cancel classes; because they can't travel. And by considering this idea for students for students to attend classes from home would help them; because even if is raining or snowing, they will not cancel their classes. Therefore, many students agree with this idea because is not only going to safe them time; it would also help many students. Many students do not have transport. Sometime they have to walk or even pay so that they can go to school and attend to class. using the online program would give them a big support.
In conclusion, considering the idea for students to attend classes from home by the way of online or video can be a good or a bad idea for many students. I do not support this idea. Students should not attend to classes online or video. Students can get distracted easily by anything or anyone in their house. Many time studying at home give students many issues; there can be many people at home and too much noise that the student would not be able to concentrated and will get distracted. It can also happen that watching a video and that there's no one there to explain it; can make the students tire and he/she can fall sleep. Also, students will not take it seriously because there's not a teacher telling them and explaining them what to do. They would not receive as much education, information, and attention as they need. My position on this issue is to maintain the students attending to school. The students will learn more if they receive classes in school. Attend classes in a classroom with a teacher will provide students more support and it would help them in many ways to be successful in the future.

1EAB51728A20,"Dear TEACHER_NAME,
I believe that if you decide to change our school's cell phone policy, then you should choose to allow students to have phones at school but only use them outside of class. I think that not allowing students to have their phones at all is an awful idea. We need phones at school in case something goes wrong. What if I get hurt in an area of the building where nobody is? I need a way to contact someone to let them know where I am and what has happened so I can get help. Also, having a phone at school is necessary because my parents might try to contact me and tell me something important such as schedule changes, family emergencies, and so on. If I do not have a phone, then I cannot know something that is very important until it might be too late.
I know that you think students will use their phones in class when they should be learning and paying attention to the teacher. All you need to solve this problem are stricter teachers who will not allow this to happen and will catch it if it does, and your students to have a sense of honor. Most of us know what the right thing to do is, we just do not always do it because of peer pressure, desire for popularity, a good laugh, etc. We have enough time to use our phones when it is allowed, so why would we need to risk getting in trouble when we could just wait until class is over?

2B1FF4D664E9,"In the article ""Making Mona Lisa Smile"" it introudeces a new invention, a computer that can reconginize emotion. There are 6 basic emotions it can recongnize such as: happiness,surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness. I strongly believe that the computer would be helpful in some classrooms but not all, depending on the subject. A facial expression does not always tell a emotion.
This topic is very debatable depending on whom you ask, this would be a controversy to say the least. There are many ways around this ""emotion reading computer"", it only takes a fake smile to surpass this. I do not believe an instructor of a classroom should also worry about what emotion the students may be in, regardless they have to do the work assigned. There are very many opinions in this article which do not pursuade other to buy their product such as when they stated: ""The Mona Lisa demonstration is really intended to bring a smile to your face, while it shows just how much this computer can do (D'Alto6)."" I truly am against the idea of the emotion reading computer due to the fact that many aspects of it seem uneffective. Students may have a tired face or example and the computer may think they are upset about something even though they're just tired.
""Making Mona Lisa Smile"" may have a good idea, but wasnt thoroughly thought out. They also do not have factual evidence, they state the word ""predicts"" which shows they don't know for sure how the computers will turn out.

Dear Principal,
I have heard that there is a new rule being put into place making it so that everyone is required to participate in at least one extracurricular activity. For example, clubs or sports or a musical instrument, etc, but what happens if students cannot make it to the activity? What will happen when there are things or important issues that come up causing them to miss the extracurricular? I disagree with putting this rule into action because there are many reasons it isn't helping all students and here are some of my thoughts on why I think it shouldn't be a rule.
Some of the students families in school might be struggling with financial issues or aren't as financially inclined at the time being and might have a hard time keeping up. Making parents spend the money to pay for the extracurricular activity rather than paying for more important stuff isn't something we should be promoting or making a requirement.
Parents work. You work. Teachers work. Most adults work. With that being said, some parents can't take off work to take their children to the sport or club that they participate in because they don't have time and their work is important to help support the family. Along with parents not having time, students and kids can struggle with time and not being able to make it to the extracurricular. Homework and schoolwork can be a big deal to us. It affects the grade point average and then colleges and then your career as an adult. Although, that might seem far fetched but that's how others think and that's how some plan. Students might need tutoring and help and having to participate in an activity can take away that time.
I do sports and play instruments. I always have, but it's been a choice for me to participate in each of them. I once did four, but that was too much for me so I stopped one. Having the option to stop or not do an activity is something every one of us needs. People like doing new things and trying them out but to others it frightens them. Thats how it is with requiring the participation in an extracurricular activity. Some like doing things and getting out and trying different things but others find it a struggle and unnecessary to do. While I see that you are trying to help and think that this is the right option and should be something necessary I think that other families can find it is a hassle and that making kids participate in extracurricular shouldn't be required but more encouraged as a choice that is fun and new. I hope you take this into consideration.
Best,

my first reason is we should all help out the community because we don't want be living in a community that is dry and there's tagging all over the wall it doesn't look right .how are people want move in if we got are community looking like a trash can. or you rather be living in a nice community where there's parks around us and the grass is green and all are houses are nice taking care of. well i rather live in a nice community.
when young people start to make a different about there community it make the community much better. even if one person gets a bag and goes around start cleaning the community each the community looks nice clean and care for. it only takes one person to do that and after that a hole group of people could paint old house and community will just feel better look better even smell better.
finally when you ever helps someone else from your heart don't my feel better about yourself. well you should because helping a community its like helping your self and everybody around you too. who wouldn't like helping other because you should feel happy .its a get feeling when you help some they really persisted your do in that.

8A64F8D74D5B,"Dear TEACHER_NAME,
Since the school's cell phone policy is being reconsidered, i believe students shouldn't be allowed to have phones out while at school.
Many teenagers would disagree with my opinion, but I have many good reasons.
Students wouldn't get as much exercise.
After lunch they would be more focused on texting than interacting with there student body that is face to face with them.
Since we have the privilege of getting to go outside after lunch and talk or play football, basketball etc. many students would be more worried about their phones than getting rid of all there energy that has built up all morning while sitting in a classroom.
I think a lot of students would also take advantage of the privilege by using them during class while a teacher wasn't looking.
Many students do it anyway and phones have to be turned off.
Also i think this would lead to a lot more drama and children getting into trouble.
Someone could text their friend and say something mean about another person but that person would find out they had been talked about at school so the problem would have to be handled at school and not at home.
There would be more verbal abuse that could lead to physical fighting.
From my point of view students would be more interested in checking their phones than going to class or remembering to go by their locker and grab their homework for their next class.
This would lower many grades and may cause students to fail a class or even a grade.
Many students might make it a habit to be tardy or skip class because of this new policy as well.
The school's cell phone policy should not be changed because along with this change their would be many problems that would also occur.
Students can use their cell phones on their own time out of school.
Please consider my reasoning before the policy is finally changed.

The town where Generic_Name grew up in had a lot of violence and drugs, and it was not a good influence on him. One day, one of Generic_Name's favorite teacher told him about a sport called ""wrestling"", when he looked into it and tried it out, he soon realized that wrestling was something he would enjoy. After practice the coach came over to Generic_Name and explained that if he wanted to stay on the team he would need to keep his grades up along with not getting in trouble. By the end of the year Generic_Name was an A,B
student and has not gotten in trouble with the law since wrestling started. Being in extracurricular activities makes you less likely to get in trouble and encourages you to keep your grades up.
My principal decided that all students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity like : sports, work on the yearbook or clubs. I for one completely agree with him. One reason is because when you are doing something you enjoy like a sport you want to stay on the team, and are less likely to do something to get in trouble. Another is because when you get out in the world you can meet new people and make new friends. The final reason is because when you are on a team you have to have good grades and those sports and extracurricular activities will encourage you to keep your grades up if there something you enjoy doing.
When your in those clubs or on a team your friends can help you out with problems, and it is good to know you can talk to your teammates about problems you may have. one of my best friends became a county champ this year and he didnt even want to wrestle at the beginning of the year but on the wrestling team where like a family and we helped him out with his problems and now he is a county champ.",,359,Mandatory extracurricular activities,Independent,"Your principal has decided that all students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity.

6E54DEB8CFA8,"In ""The Challeneges of Exploring Venus"", the author claims that the obstacles that stand on the way of studying Venus should not be the reason why scientists don't explore it. The author is not consistent throughout the article and does not present solid information or evidence that convinces the reader that exploring Venus is worth risking lives.
The author begins the article by comparing Venus to Earth and says that both of them are similar both in density and in size, but then moves on to stating that ""not a single spaceship has touched down on Venus in more than three decadaes"" (paragraph 2). After that statement the author lists all of the dangers that would come with exploring Venus: ""A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus. Even more challenging are the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venuss atmosphere. On the planets surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet"" (paragraph 3). By that point the author has made clear that Venus is incredibly dangerous and that studying it means sending researchers to an highly risky zone, and may result in devastating failure.
The contraditiction begins as soon as the author begins to explain the reasoning behind even considering visits to the planet's surface. By that point, the author was using real data and solid information to explain the dangers of the planet's surface, however, as soon as the author started reasoning on why the expedition should happen, his arguments were not as solid and were based on assumptions: ""It may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system. Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth""(paragraph 4). The use of terms such as ""it may well once have been"" or ""was probably"" do not give the reader the confidence that they need to believe in the author's claims, that is based on ""probably"" and ""most likely"" expressions.
By the end of paragraph 6 the author even writes about his own contradiction: ""Venus would need to get up close and personal despite the risks. Or maybe we should think of them as challenges."" Such passage shows the reader that even the writer doesn't seem to believe in this mission and that the author needs to keep telling himself that the risks of sending someone to Venus are, in reality, simply ""challenges"" that need to be overcome. After explaining NASA's work on other approaches to studying Venus, the author actually refers to Venus's surface as chaos, and then concludes the article by claiming that ""Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation"" (paragraph 8), a claim that contradicts previous statements made by the author himself.
In conclusion, the author contradicts himself a series of times and does not present nearly enough evidence to support his main claim. By using expression such as ""was probably"" to explain the history of Venus and why NASA should explore it, the author creates a statement based on assumptions and not based on real data. Claims that Venus is a very challenging place to examine closely are consistent throughout the article and the author never discredits them, on the contrary, he reinforces them. With that being said, the author is not consistent and does not make valid claims or statements that make the reader feel the need to support explorations and studies on Venus.",,600,Exploring Venus,Text dependent,"In ""The Challenge of Exploring Venus,"" the author suggests studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents.

4CA37D113612,"Have you ever wondered what the electoral college is? If you answered no I would say me to, but in this essay im going to explain why i am for it. I havent heard of the electoral college till now. So sit back and read this.
I think that we should do the electoral college, so everyone has a say on who they want to be the state senate. Under the college system, voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president. While others might say no we need to get rid of the electoral college, because the senate might be bribing the voters, so he knows that he/she has their vote for sure.
This is where it gets tricky. Alot of people might disagree with you because you have a different point of view than them, but it is ok if you disagree with them, because its your vote that counts. This might be what they say ""It's official: The electoral college is unfair, outdated, and irrational"". The biggest arguments are, because people say that one of the runners in the campaign did something they wasn't suppose to do.
At the most basic level, The elctoral college is unfair to voters. That is probaly something you would say if you was against the electoral college. It's ok to go for what you believe in. You might get judged but who cares it's your opinion don't listen to them.
I personally think that we should keep it. The Electoral college is widely regarded as an anachronism a non-democratic method of selecting a president that ought to be [overruled] by declaring the candidate who recieves the most popular votes the winner. It's the electors that elect the president not the people. When your voting for a presidential candidate you're actually voting for a slate of electors. Each party selects a slate of electors trusted to vote for the party's nominee. it's nearly impossible that the winner of the electoral vote will not win the national popular vote. Believe it or not its has happened very rarely. It happened in 2000, when Gore had more votes than Bush yet fewer electoral votes, but that's the first time since 1988.
There is 5 reasons for retaining the electoral college despute its lack of democratic pedigree. It may have ripped some people off, but at least we got people as good presidents. You may not like them, but they have helped us over the years that we were in debt and need. Like right now the president's wife is helping the obese kids at school by putting in whole grains and healthier foods. Those are good reasons, but not as good as these.
Certainty of out come.
The reason is that winning candidate's share of the electoral college invariably exceeds more than enough. Because almost all the states award electoral votes on a winner take all basis, even a vey slight plurality in a state creates a landslide electoral-vote victory in that state. A tie in the nationwide electoral vote is possible. But the stakes are highly unlikely to happen.
Everyone's President
The electoral college requires a presidential candidate to have trans-regional appeal. There is region that has enough electoral votes to elect a president. some people has no incentive to campaign heavily in the states that they are regionally favorited, becuse they will not gain any electoral votes by increasing their plurality.
Swing States
The winner take all method of awarding electoral votes induces the candidates. Voters in the toss up states are more likely to pay more attention to the campaign. So they know that they are going to know that they are deciding the election. They are also likely to be the most thoughtful voters.
Big States
The elctoral college restores somke of the weight in the political balance that large sates lose by virtue of the mal-appointment of the senate decreed in the constitution. The most popular vote in 2012 was by the state of Florida. Obama won that election with only 29 electoral votes. Bigger states get more attention from presidential candidates in a campaign than a smaller state does.
Avoid Run Off Elections
The electoral college avoids the problem of elections in which the candidate recieves a majority of the votes by the cast. When neither of the candidates recieve majority vote it becomes more intense, because they start trying their hardest so they can win the election. Well there is the five reasons.
It can be argued but only one will be victorious. Will we keep the electoral vote? Or will we get rid of it? So if i persuaded you to keep it pick, then keep if i didnt, then pick get rid of it. Which one will you choose.

8E7A630DDB1B,"Mesa on Mars
Who or what created this ""face"" on Mars? Was it aliens, or just nature doing its thing? The answer has been debated ever since it was discovered and the truth has been found. Although there's proof out there like the picture that was taken ten times better than the Viking's pictures, skilled scientist themselves don't even think it could be made by aliens, and there are similar landforms on Earth some people still find ways to argue. These people might say ""the markings were hidden under the haze, but just as much as that could be true it could also be wrong. This ""face"" was created by none other than Mother Nature herself.
To start, the pictures taken in 1998 and 2001 were much clearer than the original Viking pictures and unmask the face for what it really is. In ""Unmasking the Face on Mars"" it states, ""...Michael Malin and his Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) team snapped a picture ten time sharper than the original Viking photos."" To illistrate, the article is saying that this new picture was so much better and much more revealing. The day this picture was taken (April 5, 1998) was completely cloudless. This means that there couldn't have been any alien markings hidden somewhere. Garvin said, ""As a rule of thumb, you can discern things in a digital image 3 times bigger than the pixel size..."" He's hinting that even small things that show us there was civilization there could've been seen in this picture. To conclude, the new picture was proof to the world that this was just a landform.
Not only did a picture tell us this was no sign of alien life on Mars, but so did skilled scientists. When the picture was first taken, ""scientists figured it was just another Martian mesa, common enough around Cydonia, only this one had unusual shadows that made it look like an Egyptian Pharaoh."" We all know that scientists know their stuff so why doubt them? Their first intsinct was that it was just another landform, so why can't we all just agree with them and get on with our lives to worry about something more important? Even the caption for the picture (when it was released for everyone to see) noted that it was just a huge rock formation. So why can't we just see this ""face"" for what it is?
Lastly, there are landforms on Earth just like it. They're called mesas or buttes. Garvin says that "" It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho. That's a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the face of Mars."" If these landforms can naturally occur on Earth can't they also occur on Mars? Garvin sees that this landform is just like something we have at our own home.
Some people might say that when the picture was taken of the ""face"" in 1998 that it was probably cloudy that day and some alien markings were probably just covered up by the clouds. They must have done a lot of research because normally April is a cloudy time on the Red Planet, but that day was completely clear and ""sunny"". These people might just be the kind who believe in the supernatural and say that they've been ""obducted by aliens"". There is much more proof to this face being a natural landform compared to it being a alien made landmark. Where one side would say that ""scientists don't believe there is a chance of this"" the other side would say it was cloudy the day that picture was taken. Overall, there is no excuse for the fact that this is naturally occuring.
All in all, this face is a natural landform that has nothing to do with extra terrestrial life on Mars. There is proof behind it like the picture taken in 1998, the fact that actual scientists don't think there's any chance of it being alien related, and there are landforms like this one on Earth called a butte or mesa. All of these things proove that not only was ""the Face of Mars"" just a natural forming landform. Will you know the real cause of something like ""The Face of Mars"" next time you see one?

From the passage that i've read they've predicted that driverless cars will first be issued around 2020 thats just 4 years away! I believe driverless cars could severely lower the percentage of an accident happening. The odds of a teenager crashing with driverless cars could go down nearly an astonishing 68%. The police force would have to watch out for distracted drivers that are on there cellular devices or even doing there make-up in the car. Would you like to see driverless cars in the future.
There are a handful of companies developing prototypes and concept cars, such as Toyota, BMW, Google, GM, Tesla and even apple has attempted at it before, but havent had as much success compared to the brands listed before apple. GM has had Computer driven cars since the 1950's. In 1950 GM created a concept car that could run on a special test track. Of course that didnt suceed due to the expenses the government would have to pay for new roads with sensors and electrical cables which was way too expensive to be practical.
In 2013, BMW created a development called ""traffic Jam Assistant."" The car could handle driving functions of speeds up to 25 MPH. I would love to drive everyday, but i do understand when parents say it's boring after so many years you just have to change up stuff such as a new car. Why would anyone want a driverless car?

6DDE9815EE7B,"Cars- most people use them for transportation. It's our lazy way of getting to places.
Automobiles benefit us plenty when it comes to getting from point A to point B, but they also have a big negative impact. Cars are responsible for a huge amount of pollution like greenhouse gas emissions and smog. If we were to limit car usage, we could decrease the amount of stress and pollution emitted into the air, as well as give our community a chance to improve.
In Vauban, Germany, residents have given up their cars and have no problem doing so. Cars are generally not allowed, forbidden some would say, in this district. Vauban's streets are pretty much ""car-free"". Of course car ownership is still allowed, with the acception that you have to be able to find a place to park since there are only two places; large garages at the end of the development, where a car-owner can buy a space for $40,000, along with a home. ""When i had a car i was always tense. I'm much happier this way,"" Heidrun Walter stated, a mother of two. Experts say automobiles are a huge impediment to current efforts to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emmisions from tailpipes. In Europe, passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emmisions and up to 50 percent in some car-intensive areas in the United States. Paris participated in a driving ban, which violators suffered a fine of 22-euro($31). Paris typically has more smog than other European capitals, for example, last week Paris had 147 micrograms of particulate matter (PM) per cubic meter while Brussels had 114 PM and 79.7 PM in London. Since Paris participated in this ban, 60 percent of Paris' smog has cleared.
In Bogota, Columbia, the city held a car-free day, leaving the streets eerily devoid of traffic jams. It was the third year in a row cars have been banned with only buses and taxis permitted to this Day Without Cars. Their goal is to promote alternative transportation and reduce smog as well. Violators here faced $25 fines. Even with occasional bad weather, people still participated in this event. ""It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution,"" said Carlos Arturo Plaza, a business man, as he rode a two-seated bicycle with his wife. The Day Without Cars allowed parks and sports centers to bloom, uneven sidewalks to be replaced wih broad smooth sidewalks, new restaurants and upscale shopping districs to crop up, and rush-hour restrictions have dramatically cut traffic.
In the United States, Americans are starting to buy fewer cars, drive less, and get fewer licenses as each year passes (partially because cash-strapped Americans couldn't afford new cars). If this pattern continues, which many sociologists believe, it will have beneficial implications for carbon emissions and the enviornment. Even though reducing automobile transportation could have negative implications for car industries, the positive affects are much more important. In this generation, the internet allows people to connect without having to drive to meet friends. At the Mobile World Congress last year in Barcelona, Spain, Bill Ford, executive chairman of the Ford Motor Company, laid out a business plan for a world in which personal vehicle ownership is impractical or undesirable. Ford proposed partnering with the telecommunications industry to create cities in which ""pedesrtian, bicycle, private cars, commercial and public transportation traffic are woven into a connected network to save time, conserve resources, lower emissions and improve safety.""
In conclusion, cars are starting to be less and less of a neccesity, and more and more people are starting to notice that automobiles are just hurting the enviornment. By limiting car use, it can limit stress, help the enviornment as well as communities to improve, save time, conserve resources and improvee safety. There are plenty of other ways to get transportation that are less damaging and dangerous, like bicycles and walking.

668FB038C260,"Dear Principal,
An issue has come forward involving our fellow classmates. Should we or should we not be required to take part in community service? I think we should, and here are my reasons why. First, if you walk outside, and see litter over our beautiful grass, would you not want it to be clean? Would you like a big pile of trash on your lawn? I think not. Therefore, I think to make the world a better, and more cleaner environment, we should have kids our age helping out! Another reason why we should be required to be in the service is because it teaches us lessons. Nowadays, you see kids under the wrong influence of people. I believe that if we all work together to achieve something, we will see our wrongs and we would want to change. We hang out with the wrong people sometimes, and when kids work together, I noticed, we seem happier and more gentle working for something that will make us feel better in the future. Looking back at our memories, I believe that we will feel a sense of pride and a need to spread this good-willing service to our community. Another reason is that it will keep teenagers out of trouble. If, let's say, a boy robbed something. Is it better to shove him into a juvenile jail, lock him up, while he does nothing with his life? Instead, a good option would be making him work for the community. Like I stated before, it changes people. You can see right away, it makes us feel good. Like we are doing something with our lives. I believe that helping out our community will truly change the way we see our world. How we act, and how we care for our environment. Requiring to help in community service makes us proud that we are becoming a better person, helping others out. I believe that it also boosts self esteem up by a great difference. You see kids getting rejected by 'cool' teenagers everywhere, being bullied, harassed, and even feeling the need to not live anymore. Helping others, caring for others, will surely lift their self esteem, and they will feel not scared to live, but proud to be living and helping others while doing so. In the process of the volunteer work, I think that they will find such confidence in themselves, they will start to come out of their shell, and find a great person lying beneath there. Someone who helps others and likes feeling good. And the bullies? I believe they should also be required to help out with service. Deep inside, bullies are just scared little kids who don't have anything to live for, or their lives are so bad, they take it out on innocent people. What they don't see is the damage they do internally. Helping others, the opposite of what they do, will be a lifelong lesson that they will forever remember. I believe that if they volunteer at, for example, an orphanage, they will see their victims true side. Not a wimp, or a loser, or whatever names they call them. But a human, a person that has hopes and dreams like everyone has. Even themselves! This will give them a new sense of clarity, a need to apologize to their victims, and a need to help out more, discovering new ways to do good in their lives. In the process, they too can change, become more humble, and become a better person.
In conclusion, I hope you take the time to consider this letter, to make the hard decision of requiring the community service for your students. I believe you will make the right decision, and that you will ponder the good qualities of how we might change the world by helping out. Consider this question. What is this world coming to? Do we want the society we have now? Or would we like to make the world a better place by helping others, and changing in a good way to become a better person. Thank you for reading this, and I hope you will side with me and help us become good, educated, and caring students.

I think we should help with community service, because it makes our town a better place. People could help by recycling, cleaning up our lake or picking up the trash on the sides of the roads and at the parks.
people should recycle because it gets rid of all the plastic waste that could harm the animals in their ecosystem that they survive in, and it just makes the world a better place in general.
cleaning up our lake is another good way to help our community factories should not put waste products in the fresh water that we use in our every day lives it can harm the animals and most importantly us, by getting rid of all the trash think of how much more prettier the lake would be no one wants to go see a trashy lake and then later get a drink of water and think wait this may of had tons of trash in it gross.
Getting rid of trash in the parks and roads are also good for the town it makes us look like a town who cares about what they look like.
there should be schedules saying who cleans where, when, and how long so its not just one person doing all the work and every on taking the credit , and that would eliminate arguments over who cleaned more.

248BA02C6B96,"In my opinion, I do not think that the electoral college should be abolished, but I do agree with some of the points that Mr. Plumer claimed. Mr. Plumer stated, ""The electoral college is unfair, outdated, and irrational."" While it is somewhat unfair and outdated, the electoral college is needed in a sense of today's society. Everytime someone who is African American is murdered or killed, people always think it's a racial matter. Take a look at the incidents that were going on in Ferguson. Michael Brown, an African American teenager, was shot and killed by an officer, who was a white man. The people of Ferguson were literally rioting in the streets over a matter of a cop defending himself. So if that kind of society were to directly vote for our next president, it would be extremely biased. If another African American were to run for president of the United States, most Blacks would vote for him and say things like, ""If he doesn't win presidency, then this country is racist!"" To me, that's how American society is and that's why we should keep the electoral college.
In addition, the electoral college is needed to keep balance and fairness among the country. If there was no electoral college, and the votes came straight from the people, there would be problems regarding the states and the population of those states. For example, California would have a huge advantage at deciding who the next president is over a small state like Maryland. The electoral college is meant to keep balance among most, if not all, the states.
Another reason to keep the electoral college is that it requires a presidential candidate to have trans-regional appeal, according to Mr. Posner. He states, ""No region has enough electoral votes to elect a president. If there was no electoral college, the votes would heavily swing one way or the other, because of regional culture. People in the South would generally vote for someone who is white and Republican, where as the North, or states like Florida and California would vote for someone who is democratic, and since race is a exponentially large matter in today's society, people who are African American would vote for the runnning candidate who is African American or of black descent.
A vote straight from the people could work if racial perspective wasn't a huge factor like it has been since the civil rights movement. But right now, this country needs an electoral college because without one, votes would be based on race, state size, and culture.

84DA3A4E84CC,"Summer is the time of the year every student looks forward to. Apart from socializing with friends, enjoying the fresh air, and participating in outdoor activities, students have the chance to assure their learning abilities through summer projects. Summer projects should be school-designed because it allows flexibility, it develops leadership skills, and it increases creativity.
Student-designed projects allows flexibility during summer break. Generic_City's lifeguard program was very successful during the summer due to lifeguard availability. Being a lifeguard is a common job students pursue during the summer. Not only does it allow students to gain profit at a young age, but it also requires a high level of maturity and responsibility. Because it requires specific training and dedication, students must have the time to complete every task that is given. Having a student-designed summer project allows students to set their own study time instead of following a specific schedule that could intervene with working hours.
In 2019, the Pied-Piper Theater Association successfully rehearsed their summer musical: West Side Story The Musical, due to the availability and hard work of all actors. In West Side Story, the combination of performing arts and music are combined as one to produce an extraordinary musical. Rehearsing a musical is no simple task: lines must be memorized, choreography and blocking must be pristine, and every actor must be present on opening show days. A student-designed project over the summer can help students complete their required work in an flexible manner while still completing personal activities.
Developing leadership skills for the future are offered through student-designed projects. Designing their own promotional plans, students from the Technology Student Association were able to pursue college business majors. The Technology Student Association allowed students to be completely in charge of their own work to get a sense of the leadership that is needed in many technology and business fields today. As a result, the ones who were consistent in their work and created their own designs were the most successful at the TSA regional competitions. Student-designed projects allows students to be in control and have the opportunity to manage work responsibly. Even though having a teacher-designed project can help in follow instructions and meeting deadlines, being ones own boss opens doors to many leadership opportunities to excel in the work field, and in ones personal life.
Panera Bread employees that have shown leadership development have moved to higher job positions. In the food industry, like most jobs, employees must start off with a lower position and must enhance their abilities in order to move up to a higher position. For example, in Panera Bread, most new employees start of working as a cashier, dining room attendant, or produce worker; these minor positions prepare the employee with basic skills and prepare them for future duties. Later, when more experience is gained, employees move up to trainer or manager assistant. Similarly, student-designed projects help students learn to be self-sufficient and lead one another to success. As a result, future generations are encouraged to do the same.
Student-designed projects allow students to show their full potential through creativity. Generic_School economics and finance teacher, allowed students to create their own budget plan presentation, discarding the teacher rubric that was given, to show their creativity. A typical power point presentation a high school teacher assigns has basic requirements: a specific number of slides, easily-applicable pictures, and bullet point information. However, when given the chance, students embraced their creativity outside the classroom environment and created sideshows, music videos, and drawings that still portrayed the same important idea any basic power point would for the assignment. As a result, the students who got lower scores on previous power points, increased their grade tremendously. Unlike teacher-designed projects, Student-designed projects has many varieties a student can choose from; students don't have to limit their potential to strict instructions. Instead, they have numerous ways to complete any assignment feeling more confident and fulfilled.
Generic_School International Talent Show showed how students from different cultures expressed their love and appreciation through creative attire. The purpose of International Night is to unite students together to celebrate their culture as one. For example, students from Peru dressed up with typical Peruvian dresses and hats and danced salsa, while students from France wore more formal attire and simply help their flag up proudly. Every student had a unique way of showing their performance to the crowd; the teachers had very little input on exactly how the students should perform and let their creativity run free. Even though a summer project doesn't exactly involve performing to a large crowd, students have the chance to show their creative ideas and opinions without any limitations.
In conclusion, students have a unique way of showing their academic and social potential to the world. Summer projects should be student-designed because it allows flexibility, it develops leadership skills, and it increases creativity. As Walt Disney once said, "" To Infinity and Beyond!"".

2D30BE5A3A1A,"Are you excited for the summer? Finally having warm weather again, going to the beach and spending the free days with friends and family? Students cannot wait for summer break. Nevertheless, school should not be completely forgotten; therefore, some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during the break. That helps students to catch up with their classes and to be ready to go back in the fall. Summer projects should be teacher-designed because teachers know their students and can help them individually, teachers have been students when they were younger and have experience and many students are too lazy and unorganized to pick a project by themselves.
Not everyone would agree with that position. Some may argue that summer projects should be student-designed because students can tell what they need to study to be ready for the next school year. No one knows better than themselves what they are good at and where they need to improve. For example, Generic_Name is going to do a summer project in 2020. She organizes all by herself because she knows what she needs to catch up with. Generic_Name can combine her interests with learning and is going to be ready for the next school year with a student-designed project.
Nevertheless, there are other viewpoints to consider.
To begin with, summer projects should be teacher-designed because teachers know their students and can help them individually. For example, my aunt is a high school teacher and her students have to do a project during summer break. She teaches biology and knows her students very well. She gives them a topic for the summer project, which includes specific learn methods for every student. This shows that teachers can help their students individually and know what they need to catch up with to start positive in the new grade and not already be lost in the beginning of the year.
In addition, teachers have been students themselves when they were younger. They have experience about summer projects and can help students to organize them. For example, when Generic_Name, a teacher at Generic_School, gives summer projects, he can help his students a lot because he had to go through the same things when he was a student, but now he knows the best way how to handle those summer projects and can bring his experience to the students.
Finally, many students are too lazy and unorganized to pick the project and give directions to themselves. They might choose an easy project that they already know about, so they would not learn about something new and waste their time. For example, in the book ""Conni & Co"", the main character Conni has to do her summer project by herself without any help. She tries her best. She makes a plan and is motivated before the break starts. It turns out that her plan is very unorganized and she spends almost everyday of her break with her friends but does not focus on her project. She also picks a topic about horses, which she is very familiar with and thinks she does not need so much time because of that. Conni starts the night before the first day of school ,but, obviously, it is too late and she ends up with not finishing her project. That movie is the perfect example that summer projects should be teacher-designed because with the help of teachers students can get more organized, learn more and can get their work done.
In conclusion, summer projects should be teacher-designed because teachers know their students and can help them individually, teachers have been students when they were younger and have experience and many students would be too lazy and unorganized to pick a project by themselves. Teachers know how to organize those projects and make them learn effective for the students. So if your school requires you to complete summer projects, ask your teachers. They would love to help you continue learning during the break and want only the best for your future.",,663,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

AA08B576D8B0,"Is the ""Face on Mars"" really a natural landform? Seeing from pictures and other kinds of photographic things can you really tell? There may be alien markings or there may not be any markings.
I say that the ""Face on Mars"" is in fact, a natural landform. There is no alien markings to be seen from a picture. For example, """"As a rule of thumb you can discern things in a digital image 3 times bigger than the pixel size,"" he added. ""So, if there were objects in the picture like airplanes on the groud or Egyptian-style pryamids or even small shacks, you could see what they were!""
So, if there were alien markings on this natural landform you would be able to see them. This was stated by Jim Garvin who is a chief scientist for NASA's Mars Exploration Program. The picture uses the camera's absolute maximum resolution.
Many people said from the photo took in 1998, ""Perhaps, said skeptics, alien markings were hidden by haze."" The photo in 1998 was taken on a cloudy winter day on Mars and caused a haze to appear over the camera. By going in 2001 on a nice sunny day on Mars, the picture was clear and easy to see. You can tell in the picture that there is no alien markings of any kind. The picture was took with great resolution and couldn't be better.
In conclusion, there could be a possibility of aliens making this natural landform but, it could also just be a natural landform. It should not be famous for a conspiracy theory that it was made by aliens, simply of its shape. This landmark, looking like a human face, is just a natural landform.

EBCDED6944ED,"People have been battling to find the best learning method, which can serve humankind well and move us closer to the future. One of the ideas out there is distance learning, an option for students to attend classes from home and to learn by watching online videos. But does this method work? No. Distance learning is one step backward from the future because it is not the most effective way of learning, it decreases the work rate of students, and it causes mental health issues for both students and educators.
First of all, distance learning is not the most effective way of learning. So what is the most effective way? Face-to-face learning, or also known as observational learning. Scientists and psychologists proved that it is the most effective way of learning. How come? Let's visit the past. Thousands and millions of years ago when human first developed, our first learning way is to learn face-to-face. We drew symbols in caves, made fires, hunted animals, and grew crops, all thanks to observational learning. But observational learning has proved its magic on other occasions as well. For example, the famous experiment called Bobo Doll, conducted by Albert Bandura, had shown us that children are more likely to copy the behaviors of adults when they are presence. It is the first learning way children are exposed to at a very young age. Some will argue that they can learn by observing the actions online, so the traditional way of learning is unnecessary. It doesn't work that way. Psychologists proved that students are more likely to remember information if they are in the appropriate environment, which is the classroom. When students can remember information, it means they can perform the given tasks well.
Second of all, distance learning decreases the work rate of students. Not every students are alike. Some work hard no matter what, some prefer not to. By offering the option of distance learning to students, they will take advantages of the technology and most students will choose the ""online"" way to make their life easier; consequently, distance learning will results in laziness, lacks of motivation to strive for the best, and low employment rate in the future. On the other hand, students who are used to observational learning will do much better in life compared to those who prefer online learning. Scientists said people who prefer observational learning will be more open-minded, more forgetful, and higher chances of succeeding in life.
Last of all, distance learning causes mental health issues for both students and educators. If distance learning is widely used, it will results in the lack of communication between peers and educators, which means students and teachers don't get the best experience and relationships between them will be weak. The main point of education is to make students understand lessons and to collaborate with peers. If there is no collaboration, there is no meaningful relationships. In this modern world, collaboration beats the technology. We got here because of collaboration, so why would we do such things to turn students away from collaborating with others? People said that they want to change the educational system. They said by offering distance learning, it is one big step for humankind toward the future and it benefits students. But is the ""big step"" they said worth it? No. We, as humans, do not need distance learning. Observational learning has served us well and make miracles come to life. For example, Neil Armstrong took the big step for humankind, thanks to observational learning and the appropriate environment that NASA chose to follow. Steve Jobs did the same, thanks to observational learning. Former President Barack Obama made history as becoming the first African-American president of the United States, thanks to the observational learning. He won voters by talking directly to them. That is not the magic you can replicate through a computer screen.
Students deserves the best education because they are the future of humankind. Although they are only 20% of the world's populations, but they are 100% of our future. You want to make history, history is already there to guide you. Don't make the unnecessary change, let the past embraces us, teaches us lessons, and sticks to the traditional way of learning. I don't have faith in our educational system, but I have faith in humans. Distance learning are one step backward from the future.

Phones in cars have been a problem ever since they were first introduced in 1946. Over 1.6 million people die each year from texting and driving. Texting while driving, or touching your phone at all, is now completely illegal in Georgia. This helps the death rate each year go down, but many people in Georgia still use their phones while driving. In addition to this many states, other than Georgia, don't outlaw texting and driving. All states should make it illegal to text while drive, in addition to touching or supporting a hand held device while driving.
On February twenty-second, 2018 Camryn Callaway, know as ""Cici"" to all her friends died in a fatal car crash. Camryn had plowed into the back of an eighteen wheeler on I-65 late that night and died. Police later determined that Camryn had been texting and driving. Incidents like these are heartbreaking and are the reason that texting and driving is illegal. Most people, people just like Camryn, Probably think to themselves ""that could never happen to me."" The sad truth is that one way or another, eventually, texting and driving will catch up with you. Whether that be the blue lights or death itself, the choice is yours.

D78579C10220,"Summer Projects
By: Generic_Name
Students are in school for 7 hours a day, 45 hours a week, 180 hours a month, and 180 days a year which is a very long time. Many schools in the United States require students to complete a project/assignment to assure that they keep learning over the summer. Students usually feel overwhelmed and stressed about these summer projects because of having to do assignments during their break. I believe that summer projects should be student designed because it allows students to freely choose a topic and not be stressed or worried throughout the whole summer.
When students get assigned summer projects they usually ignore or not do them because the topic might be too boring, hard to do, takes a long time, etc. That's mainly because our teachers don't let them be student designed projects. Student designed projects are when the student gets to choose their own topic, do the work they want to do, and do everything based on what they want. Students hope that it could be student designed projects so it could take some weight off their shoulders and making it a topic they are comfortable with.
Counter Claim: Summer projects should be teacher designed because not all students have great decision making abillities and don't have the skillset to do a project without the teachers help. If it were student designed then they would most definitly go off topic or show poor work and effort on the project. Teacher designed projects are when the teacher is in control. For example, they choose the topic, they choose what research you need to do, they choose if its an essay or a presentation, etc. Teacher designed projects help students get ready for the upcoming school year and what they are gonna be learning in class.
Student designed projects can help the students by learning how to do things on their own, help them gain amazing decision making skills, and gain experiences to help them later on in life. When the teacher's in control for everything then the student may lack in motivation or the will to even do the project. These projects can't help a student grow and learn if they are restricted to certain things that they can and can't do. Students should have the ability to do summer projects on their own with no stress and/or no restrictions.
In sum, students get assigned projects or assignments to take home over the summer so that they could keep learning even during the break. Schools usually make these projects designed by the teacher(s). I believe that these projects should be student designed because summer is meant to be our break, we shouldn't have to have stress or anxiety because of these projects during our summer. Student designed projects can help us gain experiences as a student that we would never learn if they were teacher designed. They also help students feel that they are in control and it could help a student thrive to higher expectations.

FFABA4957A3F,"Dear principal,
I am a very concerned student. You are thinking of changing the sports grade policy. I and fellow students disagree and think this is a very bad idea. Changing the grade policy on sports would enrage both young men, and women. You would be taking away their encouragement to go to school. So for the sake of the school and your view as a good principal listen to what I am about to say.
By changing this policy a good percentage of the sports players would be kicked off the team. Students who no longer can see their favorite player(s) perform would be disappointed and there goes your school spirit. Also sports players would not do their work to try at what they think is get back at you, some may even go to the extreme of dropping out or transferring. The students who do the unthinkable and drop out would ruin their lives without even knowing it and you would be partially to blame.
The players who stayed in school, well their dreams of becoming a athlete would be crushed without them even getting to pursue it. Most of the players would become out of shape for their feeling of the lack of need to play or exercise anymore. By that act it would cause overweight minors or obesity ,later causing health issues.
These health issues conclude, diabetes, high cholesterol, heart problems, angina pains, and trouble breathing during little physical activities, caused by their over eating caused by being emotional. These issues cause depression, lack of interest, and or mental lapses. So please take this under a very serious condition. This one mistake can ruin lives dreams and agility's.

47F31D88DFB5,"Summer projects, some schools have these projects to complete during the summmer so students do not have to completley stop learning during the break. The assignments are more than likely created by a teacher; What if the students created the assignments though?
i believe that if student's created the project it would probably be easier than a teachers project, for the benefit of summer. On the other hand if teachers designs the project it will come with more work and more information for the benefit of real learning.
Student designed projects, in my opinion, will probably help teachers in the short run because of the fact that teachers will not have to worry about creating a project. In the long run though, i believe students will not learn anything new. i think student's will just create it and make it easy just to get it over with and begin their summer. Or make it easy enough to just procrastinate about it all break and complete it at the end of summer. Even creating the project is more work for the students which i think will have some students not even trying to do it. If the project is created by students i think mostly all of the students will complete it and turn it in because of how easy they made it to be.
Teacher designed projects, These projects will have what the teacher's and school want students to study during break. Teachers will actually create it to be work that will leave students with information that is needed and that should not be forgotten, for future puposes like for classes that they will be taking when back from break. I think a good amount of people would not complete the assignment due to the fact that teachers make them hard and actually have you do work. Students would rather be doing anything than a project during the summer. Teacher designed projects will help students out more in the long run because teacher's know what students need to study and focus on.
So, in my opinion a teacher designed project is for the benefit of the student's learning. A student designed project though, is for the benefit of the student's summer. In both cases though the student is going to be working on it thoughout summer and keeping in touch with learning. I think it would be best if a teacher designed project was given for the summer. If the chance was given to me to create one though, i would definetly rather do that.

According to the passage""What is the Electoral College"" by the Office of the Federal Register, the Electoral college is a process, not a place. This means that it is not in a certain place it is all over the United States. The founding fathers established it in the Constitution as a compromise between election of the President by a popular vote of qualififed citizens. The presidential election is held every four years on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November.

So if you think about it there really isnt much of an issue because your president will still have your vote. The Electoral College is widely regarded as a non-democartic method of selecting a president that ought to be overruled by declaring the candidate who recieves the most popular votes the winner.
Proceeding further, the Electoral College is based of the electors you pick and then they decide of who becomes president by the popular vote. When you are voting for a presidential candidate you're actually voting for a slate of electors. Each party selects a slate of electors trusted to vote for the party's nominee.

Established in 2006, it prohibits street parking, driveways, and home garages, allowing car ownership but limiting parking to large garages on the development's edge, costing $40,000 per space. This innovative concept has led 70% of Vauban’s families to live without cars, with 57% selling their cars to move there. Emphasizing “smart planning,” Vauban is a model in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, a critical factor in combating global warming. The district, home to 5,500 residents, showcases how suburban areas can be more compact, accessible to public transportation, and less car-dependent. This approach aligns with efforts in the U.S. and Europe to develop suburbs that favor public transport and walking, with amenities within walking distance. However, despite these efforts, challenges remain in changing car-centric attitudes and adapting urban planning regulations to support such sustainable living models.",https://huggingface.co/datasets/nlpatunt/dataset_rubrics/raw/main/Persuade/score_prompt_template.html
609FABF99E0F,"I think that from Luke's point of view it looks like a great experience and it would be an opportunity of a lifetime to be a Seagoing Cowboy. By being a Seagoing Cowboy you get to travel and see many amazing places and meet so many types of people. Also if you like animals you are in luck because you get to take care of them while your on the boat sailing across the sea. Another thing you might get to do is have your birthday some awesome like Luke did in Greece. In the following pharagraph I am going to be telling you some things about being a Seagoing Cowboy like what it's like to take care of the cattle, some amazing places that you might visit ,and how you must be careful while board the ship.
By being a Seagoing Cowboy you get to do so many things and experience them. One huge thing that you would have to be willing to do is take care of all of the animals on the ship sailing with you like young cows, horses, and mules. Like Luke the animals on the ship would keep you busy, you would have to feed them and give them water at least three times a day, pull bales of hay and bags of oats out from lower holds of the ship, and clean out the stalls. Also you would get to go to many amazing places around the world like Luke did. You might get to go to places like Europe and China and see Acropolis in Greece, and maybe take a gondola ride in Venice, and see Italy the city with streets of water. You would also have to be careful while board the ship. One night Luke slipped down some stairs and almost went over board, and because of this he cracked a couple of ribs and had to take a break off the job. It would be quite an adventure to be a Seagoing Cowboy.
Now that I have told you some thrilling things about be a Seagoing Cowboy what do you think? I think it would be so much fun to sail acrossed the world while taking care of animals and going to all kinds of places. It would be so exciting, but it would also make me nervous because when Luke Bomberger was a Seagoing cowboy he almost went over board. I think that by being a Seagoing Cowboy it would open up the world to you and how you thought of the world just like it did to Luke Bomberger who was an amzing Seagoing Cowboy.

5A6AE4CDEEF1,"The school bus doors close with a hiss behind you as you walk down your driveway. You enter your house and sigh with boredom. Once again, the rest of your family is out participating in activities, and you are left alone at home with nothing to do. This situation has occurred to many people that don't participate in any extracurricular activities. I believe that all students should participate in at least one extracurricular activity because students will be able to meet new people, find a new passion, and it gives them something to do.
If you are looking to meet new people, joining an extra curricular activity is a great way to do it. It is easier to make friends with people whom you share common interests with. So, it will be less difficult for you to talk to someone who has joined the same club as you because all of the people in that club at least share the common interest of the subject of the club. Participating in the same activity and being in the same room encourages you to talk to people. When I am at swim practice, I am encouraged to talk to the people in my lane because we are swimming together for one and a half hours, so why not get to know them? Because of this, I have made new friends outside of school, and I regularly spend time with my new friends outside of swim practice as well. Meeting new people is only one benefit of extracurricular activities, however, there are many more.
It is hard to discover hidden passions if you don't try new and different activities. Through these new activities, you could discover that you have a strong interest in robotics that you were not aware of before. If you find an activity that you are passionate about, your life will be much more exciting and enriching. It can also help you figure out what type of career you want to pursue when you grow up. Naturally, people will want to pursue careers that are related to subjects they are interested in. So, it will be much easier for you to decide because you have discovered your passions and talents at an earlier age. My father signed me up for theatre one year, and when he first told me, I was apprehensive. I am naturally a shy person, so I didn't think that I would enjoy being on stage in front of a large crowd of people. But, I ended up really enjoying the whole experience and participated in that theatre camp for three more years. Also, when I first started taking piano lessons, I thought that it would be a huge waste of time. But, I found that I was quite talented at playing the piano, and I enjoyed creating music that my family and friends would loved listening to. Extracurricular activities help you uncover new passions, and they also provide you with something to do.
Participating in an extracurricular activity is a productive way to use your time. Many students come home and waste time on the internet or social media because they have nothing better to do. There is nothing worse than coming home and finding out that your child spent four hours watching a cartoon on TV. An activity would give them something to think about or allows them to spend their time somewhere productive. When I have nothing to do at home, I play the piano because it is a great way for me to use excess time and I enjoy doing it. On the days that I am not at swim practice, I would feel like I have too much time on my hands. But, I have other extracurricular activities scheduled for those days. like meeting with my math team or piano lessons, which prevent me from experiencing painful boredom. These are only a few reasons why students should participate in extracurricular activities, and it can be seen that there are significant benefits.
In conclusion, students should participate in extracurricular activities because they give you something productive to do, they help you find new passions, and allow you to meet new people. Every student should choose one extracurricular activity to participate in because of the plentiful benefits these activities provide. Suddenly, you realize that today was the first day of track practice, and you frantically call you friend, asking them if they can come pick you up and bring you back to school. When they arrive, you hurriedly jump into their car and anxiously wait during the drive back to school. Once you are finally there, you burst out of the car and hurry down to the track. Luckily, the coach only just started with stretches, so you put down your bag and stretch with the rest of the team. Throughout the rest of practice, you laugh with a new friend whom you would have never met if you didn't join the track team.

There are more information that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents.
First, Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size. Earth, Venus, and Mars, our other planetary neighbor, orbit the sun at different speeds. It often referred to as Earth's twin. These differences in speed mean that sometimes we are closer to Mars and other times to Venus. Venus is sometimes right around the corner.

Weather present additional imprediments. Impediments like erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lighning strikes to probes seeking to land on its surface.
Finally, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth. Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system. Today, Venus still has some features that are analogous to those on Earth. The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters. Venus can sometimes be our nearest option for a planetary visit.

6ACDC003F40F,"Student designed projects, in my opinion, are the most effective and engaging summer projects for students. They make it possible to keep students intersted and engaged in the class during the summer, and give students more creative freedom as they work.
I find it to be the case with almost every student I know that they are caught in the situation that on the first day of school when a teacher goes over what they learned last year they struggle to remember even the basics the material. One of the biggest problems with students today is that they lose intrest in the subject matter over the summer, and as a result don't retain a lot of the imformation that they had learned throughout the previous school year. a student designed project can help aleviate some of these problems by allowing students to work on a subject matter that potentially intrests them more than one chosen for them. Personally when I am allowed to choose my subject matter for a project I need to work on I find myself much more motivated to complete it than with teacher designed projects.
Some may say that a teacher designed project is better because it is a more structured assignment that has a more predictable end result, but I believe that a more structured assignment is not necesarily a good thing. While a structured assignment does have its benefits a more open ended project allows students to work more creatively within the peramiters provided, and ensures that the end result better reflects the time and effort put forth by the student. Another important benefit provided by open ended projects is that it makes it harder to cheat or plagarize from other students. If every student is given the task of completing the exact same project it makes it very easy to take the work of another student and slightly edit it for thier own project. This problem is largely elliminated with student designed projects because no two students will be doing the same exact project, and everyones projects will be unique to them.
I personally have a lot of trouble actively involving myself in projects and activities, in school, when I don't have the freedom to choose what I'm working on and how I am allowed work on it, and I know that many students have the same problems I do. When a student is allowed to decide what they work on it improves the end product because a student will naturally work harder on something they enjoy or are interested in. Unfortunately an open ended project will allow some students to take the easiest possible route and create an underwhelming product, But a techer designed project with a more rigid structure wouldn't change that. Students who have no intrest in the class or project will look for the easiest solution that requires the least ammount of effort no matter what kind of project they are given. Teacher designed projects only get rid of any chance of engaging students that would otherwise be disintrested.
When students are allowed to design their summer projects themselves it makes it possible to achieve a enthusiasm and intrest for the subject matter that would be hard to produce otherwise. The ability to choose a topic that a student may find interesting helps to solve the issue of lack of mativation that many students, like myself, have problems with. Schools and teachers should work to integrate more of these types of projects into there classes in order to better engage thier students.",,589,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

94FE94B27DCD,"Dear, TEACHER_NAME
I believe our school should have community service.
Why ?
Because, students should not litter on school property and make our school look trashy.
School is a place to learn not to litter and destroy the schools .
In the following paragraphs, I will persuade you to require school community service in our school.
In SCHOOL_NAME, the population of litter is huge.
Students here think after using an object and its time to dispose it, it belongs on the ground.
All students at SCHOOL_NAME
should take part and help.
Making our school look better will be a big helping hand.
By that I want to totally help to clean up our school !
I would first make a survey. Post it out in each hallway in the school.
Then I would have every student to sign yes if they think its a good idea to have community service or no.
With the following students that has pick yes I will call a meeting.
Next I would ask them what days are good to stay after school and clean or can they come everyday.
The students that will not take part of this act I would make another community service.
Our school looks horrible especially the break areas.
Also the court yard of the school pavement need to be refill with concrete.
The school walls, classrooms, and hallways need to be repainted.
The graffiti on the hallways wall and outside the school building walls need to be painted over.
I strongly believe us students can do it.
With this all said and done, Principle TEACHER_NAME I have may reasons why you should require school community service. First I believe our school should have community service because it looks trashy not classy.
Second because students think trash belongs on the ground. My third reason is because inside the school building needs repainting.

I disagree with the new policy of sports and activities. Kids shouldn't play a sport just because of there grades. They should be allowed to play a sport just the fact that it makes them become have confidence, have communication , and show off their skills.
By playing sports kids become confident in what they do. It teaches them to never be shy and face your fear. They learn that when show a project to someone it is the same thing like playing your sport, the fact that people stare is not as bad as what it seems.
It lets them have communication towards their teammates. By communicating it doesn't let them become shy around anybody. They learn that they should just say what is on their mind. They become more influent talkers and know what they need help on with speaking.
They can show how great they are at something. They may be bad at something, but they know that they are good at something for sure. It shows that are ever talented at what they do and also that they put a lot of courage and effort.

But if the popular vote then most likely will end up with two or more slates of electors and personlitly I wouldnt like that.

Look also if the popular vote that doesnt mean that they will win most likely they will lose the predidency for example Al Gore won the popular vote but lost the presidency over 60 percent of the voters.

7.68E+11,"Drivers Should Not Be Able to Use Phones While Driving
Approximately 25% of all motor related injuries and fatalities are caused by distracted drivers. Distracted driving includes any activity that requires you to not have your full attention on the road and your surroundings while driving. A big factor in distracted driving is the development of cellphones over the past few decades and the common use of them while driving. Driving while using your cellphone takes your attention and focus off of the road and during the time someone takes their eyes off the road to look at their phone anything could happen. This poses a large threat to themselves, other people that may be riding in the vehicle, and the other people driving on the road. This is why drivers should not be able to use phones while driving.
Distracted Driving been the source of countless motor vehicle related fatalities. According to the Department of Motor Vehicles, at least ""9 people in the U.S. are killed each day as a result of crashes involving a distracted driver."" Using a cellphone while driving coincides with the idea of distracted driving. Many teens and adults feel the need to be on their phones while driving but this poses a large threat to innocent people driving on the road. Distracted driving has been considered by many as an epidemic that is entirely preventable but hasn't yet been prevented. Though many states have passed a law criminalizing distracted driving, it still remains a large problem within the United States in itself.
Texting and driving is among the most fatal types of distracted driving as ""when a driver reads or sends a text message, his or her eyes are off the road for five seconds, meaning that a person driving 55 mph would travel the length of a football field without looking at the road"" (Kitch). During these 5 seconds, there is a high chance of getting into a fatal car or vehicle crash which is a threat to other drivers on the road. People who use their cellphones while driving pose themselves as a risk to anyone in the vehicle with them or anyone driving on the roads around them.
All in all, distracted driving, and specifically cellphone usage while driving, causes a great threat to many people. Further action should be taken in order to prevent more deaths and injuries resulting from it and should be heavily enforced. The threat cellphone usage poses to people should stop people from being able to use their phones while driving.

A070588C06AF,"Dear Principal,
I think that you should definitely choose Policy 1. I think this is a good decision based on some very important facts. The environment of an emergency, it gives students a sense of freedom, and that it can cause less trouble if they have their cell phones with them.
In the environment of an emergency, I believe that if students have their cell phones, that they can call their parents. Not during school hours regularly, but in the case of an emergency. If they did not have their phones with them and their was an emergency, then their parents might not be able to contact them and they will be worried. Also, if they were sick, and the school didn't have any phones, they could call and tell their parents to pick them up from school.
If students were allowed to bring their cell phones to school, it would cause less trouble at school. If cell phones were not allowed, then they would get in a lot of trouble if they brought them. (And rebellious teens will do that.) What I mean by that is that if students were allowed to have their cell phones at school, then there would be less problems with taking phones away.
Lastly,
I think that if students have their cell phones, it will give them a sense of freedom. If they had to stay at school all day and have no contact with other people in other schools during their free time, then I think that they would be mad at the school. But if they could talk to other people during their free time, not during their class time, then I think the students would like school more.
Needless to say, there will always be people who try to break the rules and use their phones during class. The same would happen with people bringing cell phones to school in Policy 2. Even so, I still believe that the students would be happier at school and maybe pay attention more in class if you used Policy 2.

2022539CFE3E,"Cell Phones and Driving
Should you be permitted to drive a vehicle while using a device? In this case you shouldn't because it comes with many risks while you're on the road. You put yourself in danger while putting other drivers in danger as well. You risk your life with others on the line too!!!!
To begin with it's a big distraction on the road. When you choose to text and drive, you're threatening every single driver around you and placing more value on that text message than yourself and your fellow drivers. You tend to check your phone so much which can cause you to crash with someone else. But also take the focus of your surroundings while driving. It takes your focus away from safe driving. One single text can make a blink of an eye change your life of someone else's life. Also when you're engulfed in a texting conversation, it's easy to forget you're sharing the road with other people. It also takes your hands off the steering wheel to answer one single text.
Another reason that driving while using a device should be allowed is because it is illegal. You get pulled over and get a ticket. But also if caught many times can cause those digits tickets to go up which means big money tickets. It can also rise in auto insurance rates. It can lead up to prison time as well .Is it worth risking your freedom?
More so, is it worth the emotional damage a car accident causes to everyone involved?
Also it leads to getting your license suspended. The consequences you'll face for texting and driving are similar to those you'd get for another one of the most serious driving offenses which is a DUI.
A third reason that using a device while driving shouldn't be allowed is because it can have huge risks. Sending or replying to a text requires that you remove at least one hand from the steering wheel so that you can grip your phone and thumb in a reply. So not only are you multitasking and not focusing your eyes from the road, but you're also trying to deftly use your phone with one hand while at the same time steer your vehicle. So not only do you risk crashing with other vehicles but also losing the steering wheel which is the control of driving the vehicle.
Being able to use a device while operating a vehicle shouldn't be allowed. It brings too many risks and changes to the environment of driving. There would be a lot of accidents on the highway due to having access to a device while driving. Would you want a family member or friend to be on the road with someone so oblivious to the traffic around them? Remember, every time you get behind the wheel, you're entering a shared experience with mothers, fathers, friends, and children. It is every driver's responsibility to always be careful and attentive, ensuring everyone can safely get from Point A to Point B. Which is why driving with a device on your hand shouldn't be allowed.

2352FF50900C,"Nine out of ten students always say that most projects should be based on what they want to do, so it is not as dull as doing a teacher assigned on a specific topic. Teachers do have some great ideas when it comes down to projects but some students can show more creativity when they can decide on the project they want to work on. Students also can learn more from a topic they chose for the project for that particular class because they go out to find more information about the topic they think they might enjoy. Summer projects should be student-designed because it shows more creativity, it shows their learning abilities, and it allows the student to pace themselves.
Showing creativity is a big factor when it comes down to projects because students always want to show their best work. When a teacher assigns a project their are usually some type of regulations they must follow for the project and you are only allowed to talk about specific topics. This for students does not allow for creativity because they will only follow what the teacher's checklists has so they can get the best grade possible. While yes, teachers usually assign projects so a student does not go off topic, but this can be easily fixed by simply showing some topics they can use but not forcing the topics on the students to use it and also allow students to find something about that topic or something that can relate to that topic. Student-designed projects allows the students to make the most effort out of the topic they chose because the student shows that is the topic the student wants to talk about it is like a sport most professional sports player do not play a sport they do not like. Players play a sport where the player can see the most effort from themselves or which sport allows the player to show the most creativity in that sport. Like Messi named as the best soccer player in the world because of his creativity with the ball and all the effort that is put into every game.
When it comes down to projects the teacher is always looking for what they learn from a project that student worked on but most students do not really learn well about the topic because the student did not want to learn about that topic it was given to them by the teacher. So, they will go on to just read something the student finds online and just copies most of the information about what that student read and make something similar. When a student is allowed to pick a topic they have to find information about that topic and will try harder to make it one of their better projects for themselves. While yes, the student can use online sources and copy information from that source but they will try harder to explain it in their own words because that is the top the student wanted to talk about and wants to make an effort to show what they are capable of doing when the student is allowed to pick an idea for their own project.
During a project a lot of planning ahead must come to mind the student will have to rush the projects as they would if it had deadlines for each couple of weeks. This allows the student to pace themselves and not feel that their project was rushed and they are not just putting all the work in one day. most students during projects tend to feel rushed because they feel they are not given enough time to do it while yes most students could still possibly finish the project last minute the overall feeling of planning ahead can help them to show hoe much work they put into the project everyday. A student tends to be a big procrastinator so when they pace themselves it allows the student to see if they can take a break for a day or not. When we look at adult projects they prepared to explain the topic because they plan accordingly and they pace themselves so they are not stressing out too much for their project.
While yes, a teacher-designed project may be good for a student, a student-designed project is much better because it can show people great creativity, it allows a student to learn better, and it allows the student to better prepare themselves. Most students tend to see that their designs help them more because it shows they put more effort into their projects to allow a teacher to see where they are at.",,772,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

Some belived that is was just a natural landform, but which one is it? This mask on Mars was soon unmasked on May 24, 2001, and is proven to be a natural landform. They have used better pictures and comparison from Earth.
Using pictures to discorver the ""Face on Mars"" was difficult in 1976 because we did not have high tech cameras to prove anything, but as the years gone by we could soon tell the truth. For example, 22 years later Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) was able to take a picture of the figure ten times sharper. After this picture was taken, more people were able to believe that this mask on Mars was just natural landform. Then 3 years later in 2001 we had taken another picture that was even closer and it diffinetly showed landform.
Yes, the ""Face on Mars"" was discorvered to be a mesa, or landforms common around the American West. With all these pictures from 1976 to 2001, we had compared them to these Earth landforms.

D6AED985BFA1,"Dear Principal,
I believe that community service is very important, and is a major part of our town. I think it is a great way to teach teens and young adults learn what it means to help out and make them feel better about doing something for their communities. Many teens these days loaf around home texting and wasting their time checking on who likes their status on Facebook. It would be a good way to get them to help out and make a difference.
I think that doing something good and having a positive feeling about it is an addiction. For me, helping and elder cross the street or teaching a child how to do math would make me feel better than sitting around and virtually communicating with friends. Community service is a great way to get people of all ages to help out around town and learn what it means to live in a place where help is always needed. An old friend of mine, who had a disease where, over time, would deteriorate the strength of muscles all over the body, gave me an example of how hard it was, even as an eighth-grader, to stand up or even to walk. Think of all the ways middle schoolers could help people with diseases or illnesses.
Once, my youth group at church went to a nursing home and sang to the elderly people. It made my day afterwards because I knew that when I get older, I would appreciate something like that. Like I said, doing something good is an addiction, and it makes you want to feel it again. From that day forward, I have enjoyed and even sought-out the chance to do something good. If the whole school of young and capable teens could feel that, and get the want to feel it again, I think that our town would benefit from it.
I agree totally of your choice to make it necessary for teens to do community service, and I hope that I can do something to help out as well.

The author has gone into research and has found an idea from NASA that has to do with safe vehicular transportation on Venus. the author describes the idea by statisticly showing how it would work. It is said that NASA's solution is to have the scientists float over Venus' fray like pilots do to fly over thunderstorms.

Some scientists believe that the face was an alien artifact. Scientists have used better camera that could even show a small shacks. Some say alien markings were hidden by haze.
First, I think the Face was caused by natural landforms because the eyes,nose, and mouth were caused shadows. A few days after the the picture, NASA unveilded the image and the caption noted ""Huge rock formation, which resembles a human head, formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose and mouth."" Some scientists still disagree saying it could have been an alien's face. When looking at the picture, there is a shadow of the rock. If it was an alien, why haven't scientist found any other alien like?
Second, the face was formed by a natural landform because when you look at the 2001 picture it is more clear than 1976 or 1998. The clear version shows that it had no eyes,nose, or mouth. Garvin said ""As a rule of thumb, you can discern things in a digital image 3 times bigger than the pixel size."" Scientists are able to see pictures closer than before.

This feature of the car puts many people off. When they hear a driverless car they expet a car where their presence is not needed to steer through traffic. Though the car has many sensors to navigate through traffic, it is still necessary for the human to drive through obsticals. The sensors being used are suppose to mimic a human's driving skills, then why can it not navigate through traffic, without the use of a human?
To many these cars may still seem as a good investment, but what about the government? Driving laws are written for the mindset of a human. ""As a result, in most states it is illegal to even test computer-driven cars."" (Driverless Cars Are Coming) States such as, California and Flordia have allowed limited use of 'semi-autonomus' cars. Once the safety of the cars is superb it is expected that more states will follow their lead. Also, the question of, whose fault is it for an accident? For cars that include the help of a human to navigate through some situations, it could be blamed on the human. Yet, for cars that are the sole drivers, and do not require a humans assistance, accidents could be blamed on the manufacturer. This could create many law suits and conflicts between automobile companies that produce these cars and the owners.
Waking up to drive in traffic may be annoying, but it is safer than trusting a ""driverless"" car. With the safety problems yet to be fixed, laws prohibiting the usage, and the need for humans to still pay attention, it makes for the driverless car to be undesirable to most. These cars may improve in the future but, I am still against their production.

CC0AC8356D9E,"Imagine taking classes at home. It would feel so much easier, me knowing from being a student, taking classes at home could bring lots of benefits. If schools were to offer long distance learning classes via online or video conference, the student would feel less pressure, stress, and actually a little motivated to complete the course. Today in the modern world, we have unbelievable technology so why not use it for school or to learn in general ? It would really take weight off of the students shoulders to take classes at home instead of traveling or going to a building filled with other students to recieve said classes.
One good benefit online classes bring students is that its online. Students will not have to travel all the way to a different state away from home just to take one class. Some might prefer to have an expierience of going to collage or making memories; However, there are those who much rather take the class online instad of leaving their home. Many students struggle with money at times so online classes is a major benefit and could help them save a ton of money by not traveling. Who knows when there could be traffic getting to school ? Arriving late at school is never good for students but that will not be a problem if we take onlne courses at home.
Main reasons students get up to go to school is because they either want to graduate to make their parents happy or they have something important to do that day. Students really dislike school, especially the fact of having to wake up bright and early in the morning. We need the energy and motivation to get up and complete whatever needs to be completed. If we go to sleep knowing we could just wake up and take an online class instead of going somewhere to recieve it, it will help us majorly. It would be much easier to knock out a class at home and then going about the rest of your day. Education online at home would give us the benefit of better motivation and the thriving feeling of completeing the class;furthermore, being at home gives us good energy because we are in a place we do not mind being in.
A really good benefit from online classes is the balance it could bring to our every day lives. A student taking online classes can manage their time,work,family and personal appointmetns more than a student actually going to school can. Being at school can really take a big chunk of time out of your day and leave you with no time for your own life. When taking an online class you wont have to worry about getting home to get dressed becuase you're already at home !
How we manage our time is very important because it is how we live. I am sure the majority of students really dislike spending time at school even the most dedicated students. Online classes at home would benefit us with a good feeling of our time spending. Students at home are far more happier and productive. Mind you, that being at home can cuase a student to be a little drousy but;nevertheless, students wake up way faster at home then in a school building with people they do not even like. Online classes helps us with time and balance with our lives in the real world.
Online classes, in my opinion, bring many more benefits to students. It takes major stress and anxiety of our backs. The feeling of just being at home taking a class that is required or beneficial to have or take gives us the power to finish it. We all have our own lives and the ability to live it how we please. I would not take school or classes at all but if it were to be required, online classes would be my choice. It is really beneficial and it is almost certain we will see advancements in the future for online schooling. It is crazy how far we have come from past years, all the benefits we have now such as online courses for school, can really come in as a life savor of one who has his or hers family to look out for. There is always a choice in life and no matter what it is, it will have its own benefits and doubts, its just up to us on what we make out of it.",,748,Distance learning,Independent,Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing.

9F2E3072B5C6,"25 years ago, a NASA spacecraft called Viking 1 was circling Mars, taking pictures of landing sites that its sister spacecraft, Viking 2, could possibly use. While circling Mars, it snapped a photo of a landform that seemed to look similar to a human face. Thay called it the ""Face on Mars"", and it became hugely popular, making appearances in movies, books, radio talk shows, and even grocery store checkout lines in the form of magazine covers. Contrary to some popular belief, wasn't anything to do with aliens, and here's why.
The Face on Mars is what you would call the Martian equivalent of a mesa, a natural landform that is common in the American West. The scientists assumed so whenit first appeared on screen, but this particular mesa had shadows that made it look kind of like an Egyption Pharaoh. When releasing the images to the public, the author of the article made it sound like the eighth wonder of the world, trying to attract attention to Mars, and it worked.
The photographs that were first taken of the ""Face"" were very hazy, and many people believed that there were some sort of alien markings under all the fog. The truth is, they took amazing photos with maximum resolution on April 8th, 2001, and there were no markings, aircrafts, little structures, or pyramids to be seen anywhere. What the picture does show is that the ""Face"" is, in fact, a kind of butte or mesa on Mars. Jim Garvin, chief scientist for NASA's Mars Eploration program, said it reminded him of ""Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho."".

D613335EB1F7,"I am Luke Bomberger and I just graduated from High school and had two part time jobs. One was at the bank and another at the grocery store. One day my friend Don Reist asked me if I wanted to go to Euroope on a cattle boat, and I could not resit it.
It was 1945 and World War two had just ended and the UNRRA joined together and helped the coutries to recover from the war. UNNRA hired ¨Seagoing Cowboys¨ to take care of the cattle that were shipped over seas. Don and I signed up to do this position. In August we got orders to go to New Orleans. I had 335 horses that I had to take care of.
After about two weeks we finally arrived, but caring for the animals kept me busy.
They had to be fed and watered at least two or three times a day, bales of hay and bags of oats had to be dragged from the lower holds of the ship and the stalls had to be cleaned out. I had helped out at my aunt? farm when I was younger but I was not prepared for the dangers on the sea. On my second trip I was going to go make my hourly report to the captain and I slid down a slippery ladder. A small metal strip had stopped me from going into the dark atlantic, but I was not able to work for a couple days because my ribs were cracked.
This job kept me very busy, and had many oppertunities to see things I have never seen before. I halso had found some times that I could have fun on board instead of having to care for the animals. After the animals would be dropped off we would head back. We played all kinds of activites and games. The cowboys played baseball and volleyball in empty places were the animals were. We also had table-tennis tournoments, fencing, boxing, reading, whittling, the games had help pass time.

6D2AD3027292,"No Texting On the Road: Eliminating Distractions on the Roads
In today's society, everyone is forced to find ways to be the most productive they can possibly be in order to complete their daily tasks.
Commutes to work are longer and the accessibility of cell phones has never been so handy, but also so life-threatening.
People spend so much time in their cars, multitasking, especially in terms of checking messages and emails while in the car, is becoming a norm in society (Teen Driver Source).
But texting and checking messages, unfortunately, is not as harmless as people assume it to be when they are checking their social media feeds during standstill traffic or at a stoplight.
Just in 2013 alone, there were more than 1.2 million car crashes in America and of those 1.2 million, nearly 341,000 of those were caused solely by texting (Teen Driver Source).
Cell phones in the car are more than just a distraction, but a danger to the driver of the vehicle as well as everyone else on the road.
Some states within the United States of America have banned using their cell phones while driving, such as Illinois, but not every state has yet.
When one is distracted on the road, their attention to detail decreases, their reaction time slows, and they are more susceptible to accidents than they were before picking up their phones.
When it comes to driving on the roads, the use of cell phones while driving should not be legal around the country because it increases dangers on the road, increases driver stress, and it damages our brain health over time.
The first and most obvious reason as to why using cell phones on the road comes down to the fact that being distracted leads to potentially more accidents.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration conducts surveys every single year.
During 2017, 3,166 people died due to distracted driving (Federal Communications Commission).
Distracted driving entails more than just texting, but when further studies were conducted as to the specific causes of the deaths and/or accidents on the roads, more information supports the dangers of cell phone use.
Virginia Tech Transportation Institute (VTTI) performed a study that found the average amount of time a person takes their eyes off the road when receiving a text is 4.6 seconds, and a lot can happen in that short amount of time (It Still Works).
The person in front of the driver could brake suddenly and if the driver is not alert and paying attention, they could end up rear ending the person ahead of them.
If the numbers regarding deaths on the road in relation to cell phone use are not as shocking as one might think them to be, it's important to analyze the total number of accidents instead to provide more clarity on the subject matter.
Just in a single day alone, according to the Federal Communications Commission, 9 people die in accidents and nearly 1,000 people are injured every single day as a result of distracted drivers (Federal Communications Commission).
Over the total year, that's nearly 365,000 injuries and over 3,000 deaths because of people becoming distracted on the road.
If that's not telling of the dangers of texting or checking phones while behind the wheel, then taking a look at how it can impact a single driver is significant to this argument as well.
With distractions, the level of stress drivers may feel on the roads increase.
When it comes to new drivers, this is a very serious issue, as they are both new to the roads and inexperienced in the typical driving routine.
New drivers have a lot to worry about, and adding the stress of text messages or phone notifications makes it more difficult to be safe and present when behind the wheel.
For new drivers and parents alike, there are several recommendations that the Teen Driver Source makes: complete calls or texts prior to getting into the car, get directions and figure out how to get to your destination beforehand, and check in with friends or family only after arrival (Teen Driver Source).
All of these are great tips for new drivers to remain safe while behind the wheel, but texting poses a threat to their attention on the roads, as well as the added stress placed upon them, on top of remembering all the other new skills they are learning as new drivers.
42% of high school students, in a recent study on Teen Driver Source conducted in 2015, admitted that they texted within the last 30 days (Teen Driver Source).
Multitasking promotes more stress, as told by many studies accumulated by organizations studying drivers and their habits while on the road, and for new drivers, attention to detail is imperative (It Still Works).
If high school students admitted to driving and texting at the same time, many of them also admitted that they forgot to wear their seatbelt while driving, which further would increase their risk of injury, or in the worst case scenario, death (Teen Driver Source).
Those under the age of 20 years old are more prone to distracted driving, so it is important to take matters into their own hands (It Still Works).
Teens and all drivers alike are encouraged to not only put their phone away and take care of tasks before turning the key in the ignition, but to also put their phone on Do Not Disturb, a feature available from nearly every phone today (Teen Driver Source).
Eliminating stress and being entirely present in the activity of driving is a must, and for new drivers and experienced drivers alike, if everyone can be mindful of their habits on the roads, stress will decrease, as well as optimal brain usage.
In terms of health, using cell phones while driving is not a great decision for anyone.
Cell phone use while driving has been said to reduce brain activity by about 36% while on the roads, which contributes to a greater risk of injury and/or death and accidents (Teen Driver Source).
Over time, however, this habit could contribute to other areas of life.
Using cell phones while driving could translate to other aspects of a person's life, leading to what could be perceived as an addiction to technology.
Without constant connection to cellular devices, it could not only impact someone's attention on the roads, someone's brain health and optimization, but also what could become of someone's productivity.
This is not just a matter of driving, but a matter of quality of life.
Would it be productive or even healthy for someone to spend their entire lives glued to their phone, inattentive to the world around them?
When it comes to driving on the roads, the answer is clear: using cell phones while driving leads to less productivity and alertness, and the consequences are immediately present.
If society does not take accountability for one's deliberate attention to detail while on the road, there's more at risk than just one missed text or a late work assignment.
People's lives and health are at stake, as well as the quality of their daily routine.
Alas, cell phones are a great part of the world today, but they do not need to hold a great place of importance when behind the wheel.
It's more than just health and brain related issues or even the amount of stress drivers of all experiences face, but it's about danger.
Is it worth the risk to send that text to a friend while on the way to one's destination?
There's advertisements, stories, news articles, and movies about the topic floating around, but some people don't take it as seriously as it needs to be.
It's not about collective action, or rather many people doing the same thing at once, but about many people deciding to take action on their own accord.
So, it is up the individual: take action and be safe, or increase the risk for not only one person, but the lives of the many people one might face on their daily commute.
It's all a choice, but either way, the future will show the consequences of what society decides to make of this information.

B19C6EA1C4B7,"Dear Principal,
I believe you should use policy one because, many students do not have things to do during free time. Most students are pretty good at following the rules with phones. Some students have their phones on them all day because they do not trust the lockers are a safe place for their expensive materials, but they are off. It is not fair to have to keep something so valuable in your locker. Things are being stolen. You say the only thing to keep that from happening is to not tell other people your locker combination or to keep your lock on your locker. You only give us students three minutes to get from one class on the upper floor down to our lockers, unlock them, grab our stuff then go back upstairs to our next class. Or, you give us the three minutes to get from a downstairs class to our upstairs lockers just to walk to the other side of the building! It really does seem unreasonable. That is why most people keep the lock off their lockers. They have more time to use to get to their classes. With an unlocked locker I do not think I would leave my cell phone in there.
Cell phones are a hard policy to debate on because you can not just say everyone has one and everyone keeps it on all day. Many people use their phones. It is very unfair that they do not get caught, but that is just something you have to live with. One day cell phones will not be a problem for adults. Just about everyone will have one. If cell phones were such a problem people would not have them. Yes, it is another bill to pay but not everyone has to pay for their phones. Some students are home-schooled and just get our early. Us children in the schools can not help that.
I do not think you should take phones away because some people need their phones to get a hold of parents. It is not easy to get a ride home when you do not have your phone. Maybe teachers should just watch more carefully for phones. It is a school rule not to have your phone on you so if they suspect that you have it then they should be able to ask for it. Many times students take their phones out in class and use them a teacher would never know if they are not in the class. Not very many people are going to tell that you have your phone on you, and not many are going to say you are using it. Many children carry gum around with them. They make phones that small now. I do not think that some of the teachers understand that. It is quite easy to hind a phone. Many people use sweat shirts, others use their shoes. Some, even just make it look like gum! So if you think about it, many students do break the phone rule. They do not like to they just like using their phones all the time. Some people just have to talk to other people all the time. So, it is just like if you do not see them then your just simply text them when they are not busy.
Many of us do not care when we are busy. I still think you should be favor students keeping their phones. If they are out in free times we are not really hurting anything. But, if you take them and say we can not have them at school then many people will not be able to contact parents. I believe all of the students would plead the same story. So please let us keep our phones.
Sincerely,
Me",,628,Cell phones at school,Independent,"Your principal is reconsidering the school's cell phone policy. She is considering two possible policies:

EA2B5EB1DFDA,"Statistics show that 30% of people who ask for advice from more than one person end up making a smarter decision. Life is filled with decisions, some that may influence your whole life, and some that are not very important, that's why it's good to get some extra opinions. Many people have a hard time making decisions, and appreciate the extra help they get from their friends and peers. Having more than one person give you their advice on a matter could be all the help you need. It might also make you feel better about the decision you are taking. Asking your family and friends about a matter might also give you the answer you need. Gaining more opinions and voices if always better than not getting anything.
Some problems you may encounter in life will lead to you making a very important decision, which might not be the easiest thing in the world. You make decisions every day of your life without even realizing it, such as choosing to eat breakfast or choosing to finish your homework. Those decisions might not require you to get more advice, because you are already so used to completing them each day. Studies show that as you grow up, you are faced with more important decisions, that might not only effect you. Like making a decision to move to Africa with your family, which in that case requires you to collect all the opinions of your family members, because the decision not only effects you, but your whole family also.
Receiving more voices and advice on a matter might not only allow you to make a better decision, but also allow you to gain more knowledge on that subject, like a decision to go on the keto diet. Your friend might offer pros and cons to going on a keto diet, and why you might like it or hate. Each person has their own knowledge on a certain subject, like a doctor could offer you knowledge about health matters, or a lawyer could offer you knowledge about civil matters. If you had an important decision about your health, you might want to go to your doctor to get his advice on the matter, because he knows more about that topic. He also studied more about it and is more knowing.
Coming to a conclusion on a decision might be the hardest thing you do in your life. It might make you feel depressed and down, like you can't even make a simple decision, and that's okay. That's why asking more people about it might make you feel better. An example is myself, when it comes to making choices I am the worst to come. I hate coming to conclusions, because I always feel that I made the wrong decision or didn't think enough about it, that's why I always ask my family members for advice before making a decision, it makes me feel more relaxed and happy about my choice. It also makes me feel like I got the knowledge I need I make the right decision. That's why asking more than one person, could lead to you feeling better and more relaxed, and you could finally get on with your life, knowing that you made the right choice.
Last but not least friends and family know you the best. They know what you like, and they know your personality. They are the number one people who might offer you the best advice. An example is my friend Generic_Name, she once came and asked me if it would be good for her to take a year off of college, she wanted to relax and have a year to herself. I told her no. Why you might ask, because I knew my best friend and I knew that she would feel sad and depressed if she took a year off, because she's the kind of person who likes to work, she might feel overwhelmed at times, but overall she loves the thrill of getting a new assignment. So she took my advice and didn't get a year off. The next year she felt so much happier and thanked me a lot for giving her my advice. So in conclusion what I mean is that your friends and family in the end know you better than anyone else, that's why it's good to get their opinion on a matter, especially if it concerns your future. Trust me the advice they will give you will benefit you in life.
I'm nearing the end of this essay, and I just want to say that no matter how hard you think about a decision. It's best if you get other people's opinion who might know more about that topic or subject. It's important that you find the right people to ask when looking for advice. If you are ever having trouble making a decision don't forget that your family and friends are always here to give you their opinion and advice on a matter, because that's what matters the most. Don't be too hasty when it comes to making a decision, remember ""slow and steady wins the race"".",,856,Seeking multiple opinions,Independent,"When people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person.

4C1F76298E24,"Many people believe that "" the Face"" on Mars is actually a alien of some sort or a human. I can truly convince you why it's not a alien, it's only a landform. I can see why people can believe its an actual face because it has the qualities of a face: eyes, mouth, and nose. Here are my reasons why this is definetly a landform.
First, there is no evidence of anyone going to Mars. "" Thousands of anxious web surfers were waiting when the image first appeared on the JPL web site, revealing... a natural landform. There was no alien monument after all."" Mars has a very harsh climate and no one would even dare go off to a terrible, deserted planet to just not come back.
Secondly, there is no history of anything in space involving aliens and their artifacts. Many would say that the aliens didn't want us to knw they exist but the article states it could have been a person going to Mars. Scientists would have contacted the world and said we have evidence or living organisms on Mars.
Yet many people would believe living organisms on Mars and I can agree with that if they have fantastic reasoning to their theory. They might say that if someone went to Mars they coud have not brought back anything or they got stranded on Mars and that could have been their body. People may believe that anyone on Mars would not survive the deserted planet with harsh climate and they would surely die there. Some sort of creature may have made it and they would give us evidencce of life on Mars.
You never really know if there may be some sort of living organim on Mars unless you study it closer. Either I may be correct and it just being a landscape made from a storm or I could be wrong and its a living organism. We will never know unless we do the research.

There are plenty of other things this money could be used on other than knowing students emotions. Maybe Thomas Huang can Find a way to help teachers teach without boring their students.
When looking at paragraph 7 it is telling us how to simply do this at school while looking in the mirror. People might try using your home PC but you computer cannot handle complex algorithms. You might want to grab a partner to do this with. The passage says,""In fact, these are the instructions for a face that looks happy."" If the teacher used the Facial Action Coding System they would have to stop in the middle of class to have the computers on. Also read all the emotion just for them to know that they may or may not be entertaining their classes enough or that a student may be confused, thats why students need to raise their hand more.

B0A19F407570,"Phones have evolved exponentially, especially from the twentieth to the twenty-first century. Over the course of ten years, phones without cords have become commonplace. Many individuals use them while shopping, cooking, and exercising. There also use them while operating a vehicle. However, using any device while driving can cost thousands of dollars and even your life. Cellphones should not be used while operating a vehicle.
The term distracted driving has become prevalent in courtrooms because drivers are more susceptible to the accessibility cellular devices, streaming services, and social networks provide. According to the auto insurance comparison search engine, The Zebra, approximately nine people are killed and over 1,000 people are injured from car accidents when one driver is preoccupied with their cell phone. This means that defensive drivers are not impervious on the road when another driver utilizes a cellular device. We, as a society, have the responsibility to keep others safe. The next time one sees their loved ones should not be on an autopsy table following an easily preventable car accident. The solution is to this dilemma is to enforce laws pertaining to cell phone usage and operators of vehicles.
New drivers already face the challenge of utilizing their defensive driving in their daily lives. Many drivers, both new and experienced, would say that a notification on their phone takes a second to acknowledge. However, those who check messages risk their lives. According to Miller&Zois Limited Liabilities Company, a law firm based in Maryland, five seconds of viewing a text message is the amount of time it takes for car travelling at fifty-five miles per hour to drive across an entire football field. Therefore, if an individual decides to look at a notification or respond to a text message, that person could enter a river or cliff at that same speed by using a phone while driving.
Citizens are not entirely at fault. According to the National Safety Council, cell phone use while driving is under-reported by law enforcement. This, in turn, means that too many offenders are only given warnings and no punishment for their reckless behavior. Tax-paying civilians are suffering because authorities do not hold offenders accountable for dangerous driving habits. Every state must outlaw phone use and produce punishments for those who continue to indulge in their distraction on the road, lest they seek for a steady increase in distracted driving injuries and fatalities.
Humans are said to be social creatures. However, social behaviors will limit the focus of drivers. A single second is an ample amount of time to lose one's life. Phones and driving are as compatible as water and oil. Do not post a picture, send a text message, read a book, or watch a movie when behind the wheel. Put the phone out of sight and out of reach.

I think Policy 1 would be a good idea ""Allow students to bring phones to school and use them during lunch periods and other free times, as long as the phones are turned off during class"". As long as the phones are off during calls then kids should be allowed to use then during lunch and floor time.

I do not see why we are not allowed to use phones at floor. it really does not change anything except for the fact that it would keep most of us quiet. Half of the school brings there phones into class anyway. They text, go on face book, play games, some even talk on the phone. Most kids go to the bathroom to text and talk to people so I think that you should at least let people use there phones at floor. because that would probably stop most of them from texting during class if they can look forward to texting during floor and lunch time and other free times they have during school hours.

F98C8AAA5BE3,"Let's imagine for a second that every student across the country has a computer that could recognize if a student was confused or bored with a lesson. This technology, known as the Facial Action Coding System, could then modify the lesson to either make it less confusing or more interesting to the student. Not only would this benefit students, but it would also benefit teachers, schools, and the overall learning of everyone in the country as well.
First the benefits would start with the students. Lessons would make sense and be engaging for all students. Classes would start to be more enjoyable to attend since everyone would understand the content. Less students would be likely to miss classes with such engaging lessons. The less classes the students miss, the more they understand and learn. Eventually grades and test scores would improve as well, making schoolwork less stressful. In general students would be learning more content in an easier way which would make them happier about school and learning in general.
Teachers would be next in line to benefit from the new technology. A teacher's success is based on the student's success. With the students learning more, doing well on tests, and being happier overall, a lot of the strain put on teachers would get taken away. Teachers are able to relax more and maybe even get paid more from the success of their students. Parents wouldn't have to blame teachers for not giving their children a chance to succeed either. With students and teachers benefiting from the Facial Action Coding System, schools would benefit as well.
Happy students and teachers means happy schools. With grades and tests improving, schools would become well known for making students successful. This means schools could get more funding to make sure they are able to keep everything running smoothly. Schools across the country would be able to make sure all students are being educated to the fullest extent that they can be. The overall learning of this new generation of students would greatly increase the overall learning of the country as well.
In short, everyone would benefit from the Facial Action Coding System. Students would learn more and be happier, teachers would be less stressed, and schools would then be more successful as well.

B84458707731,"The Electoral College is unfair, outdated, and irration. Under the electoral college system, voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president. The electoral college is unfair to voters, because of the winner-take-all system in each state. Candidates don't spend time in states they know they have no chance of winning, focusing only on the tight races in the ""swing"" states. Over 60 percent of voters would prefer a direct election to the kind we have now. And yet, the electoral college still has its defenders.
The electoral college also has some good reasons to keep our despised method of choosing the president. In the 2012's election, obama received 61.7 percent of the electoral vote compared to only 51.3 percent of the popular votes. Obama won cause of the electoral college. Because almost all states award electoral votes on a winner-take-all basis, even a very slight plurality in a state creates a lanslide electoral-vote victory in that state. So one good reason is the certainty of outcome.
Also another awesome reason is that the electoral college requires a presidental candidate to have transregional appel. No regions has enogh electoral votes to elect a president, so the south cant elect a president that will do something in favor with the south only. The electoral college avoids the problem of elections in which no candidate receives a majority of the votes cast. it avoids run-off elections.
My final answer is that i argue in favor of the electoral college. It would be hard to let every single citizem chose, because some people dont think about others and what it is good for all, people only think about themselfs and what it is good for themself. Plus the even thogh the president will win no matter if he/she won the popular vote. The electoral votes think for the state and what is good for the people.

AD2E56E68B84,"The Reason teachers do summer projects is so that students do not forget the things they learned during the school year. Some people may argue that summer projects should be teacher designed because if everyone has the same project then it should not be a problem. I know that argument is wrong because I have done both student and teacher designed and the student designed was much easier to work into my summer vacation than the teacher's project. Over the summer projects should be student designed because the student has more freedom to do what they want with the project.
Student designed projects helps the student because the student knows how to fit a project for summer vacation. During summer vacation a student does not worry about his or her schoolwork they have learned during the year. I was a kid that had summer camps that took up the entire day, but since I had a student designed project I was able to finish it earlier. The student designed projects give more room for students to finish early and be creative. This freedom the student designed projects give is why teacher designed projects is a worse choice.
Some people seem to think that since all the students get the same project when its teacher designed that the project is easier to complete. Teacher designed projects do not account for any job/summer camp that the student would be doing. The projects also ignores the chance that a student could be travelling to visit relatives for an extended time. Teacher designed projects are typically time consuming, harder, and leave less room for creativity. The students working on the project would be less likely to work on it since the subject the students are given are not interesting to them. I know this because in 7th grade many kids did not turn in their summer reader assignment because they were either too busy or too unintrested in the subject entirely.
Students given the over the summer projects should be able to design the project because there is more freedom and interest in the project itself. People that disagree could say it's easier because the project was made by a teacher, but the same people do not account for interest, summer jobs, summer camps, or any other activity that would take time away from school work.

5526ABFE6934,"The U.S. has been using the Electoral College for a long time. I believe it would be a good idea to keep it, I mean why would you change something that still works? Now unless you want to make it a better process it should stay the way it is. I dont think popular vote would get us a good president, people would pick the one who makes those promises that will only be good for a short time. The U.S. needs a president who can asure us we wont have to worry about everybody losing there jobs soon or not being able to pay for gas because its up to $4.00 a gallon.
Its a very time managed process, its not like they take some names, write them on a piece of paper, mix them up in a hat, and grab the first one you feel. How big of a mistake would that be? Electoral College even sounds like a well thought out idea, for one it has the word college in it and college is where you get a better education for your future. When electing a President you want to know that you will have a good future with the president that is elected. Just because the Electoral College is old doesnt mean it isnt a good process.
Consider that state legislatures are technically responsible for picking electors, and that those electors could always defy the will of the people. Back in 1960, segregationists in the Louisiana legislature nearly succeeded in replacing the Democratic electors with new electors who would oppose John F. Kennedy. ( So that a popular vote for Kennedy would not have actuallt gone to Kennedy.)
Voting for the next President of the United States isn't something you would just want to rest in the hands of popular votes, you could end up with someone who doesnt even know what he is doing, or even desides he can't handle all of the responsibility of being the President.

401940D9830D,"Imagine walking into a new school year, having already learned some of the topics your teachers will teach this year and still memorize some of the stuff from last year. Some schools require students to complete projects over the summer to assure students continue to learn over their summer break. Should students be able to design what they want their projects to be or should the teachers design it? Summer projects should be teacher-designed because teachers will pick educated projects for their students, it will be harder for the teachers to answer questions and grade individual projects that the students came up with their self, they will know for sure the projects taught students things for their upcoming year. Here is all the reasons why the teachers should design the summer break projects.
First, students might pick uneducated projects to do. Teachers will pick projects that help relate to what they learned in the class room. For example, students might pick what they are interest in, instead of picking what they need to learn to better their learning experience over the summer. Teachers are more likely educated than students about what the students will learn in there next grade level. So for instances, they will give them projects based off what students will need to know next year, to further their education for the next grade there are entering in. For these reasons teachers should be the one's to choose the projects for summer.
Second, it will be easier for the teachers to answer question and grade the projects. If a student gets stuck and need help from a teacher, they can email the teacher an ask for help. If it was student-designed each student might have an individual project. It will be harder for the teacher to answer all of the questions, because he or she did not pick the project for the student. If the teachers come together they can figure out the right projects that can benefit the students education. This is another example for why the teachers should design the students projects.
Lastly, some students might say that, by letting them design their own projects. It will not be boring and it will increase the rates of students actually doing the different projects over the summer. It will also make students put more effort into their individual projects. However, if they let the students decide then how will they know if their learning anything from there projects. It will be way easier if the teacher choose it because then they will know for sure they will learn something educational while doing the projects.
In conclusion, they should make the projects over the break teacher-designed, because teachers can give out educational projects, the students can ask questions about the projects the teachers have choosing and it is more easier for the teachers to grade, and they know that the teachers will choose what is best for the students to help them get through the year. To make it easier for the teachers they can all agree on what educational fun projects they want the students to do over the summer.

Many people think that cleaning trash is very helpful and many people think it wastes time.

Some students might not clean litter but those students may be doing something else for the community. Furthermore, it should not take many people to clean much trash. Students may also be cleaning trash on their own time as well.
People who tutor the elementary school kids, that is very nice, but some students also think it wastes time. Let those students choose to tutor or not. Some students may have important activities to do and cannot afford to waste that time. For example, some students have a sport team to go play with or practice. Others may have after school classes to attend to. Many students can help trash but there are many who cannot afford to do those stuff.

019FE7DD2DF7,"Have you ever heard about the face on Mars' surface? People think that it could be aliens, but more people believe that it is just a mesa or a butte. The Viking 1 gathered the first pictures of the face ever. Many conspiracy theorists think that NASA knows that it is evidence of an ancient alien race. It still remains somewhat a mystery to people all over the internet.
The Viking one captured the first pictures of the face in history. It was searching for landing spot for it's sister ship. The mission controllers at the Jet Propulsion Lab were surprised when it popped up on their monitors. The pictures surfaced on the internet a few days later. It was a great way to get people engaged in the attraction to Mars.
Although NASA and conspiracy theorists would be happy to discover that the face is evidence of an ancient alien race on Mars. The formation is probably just a mesa or a butte. They are both landforms common to the American West. Garvin commented'' It reminds me of a Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho.''A lava dome that takes form of a mesa around t he same height as the one Mars.
If the face on mars was an alien artifact NASA would be famous for finding it.
Conspiracy theorists say that NASA is hiding the fact that the face is an alien artifact,but NASA would not be hiding the fact that it is from aliens if it were because it would benefit them a bunch. For example they could make a ton of money from the publicity of it being something alien. With the money they could fund even more projects like sending rovers to Mars to try and find out more about the face, and maybe they could even be able to get humans to Mars. It would get people interested in Mars and they would want more pictures and evidence of it being an alien artifact. That is why it would not make sence for NASA to tell people on the internet that the face is an something alien instead of just being a mesa or a butte.
In conclusion there is a lot more evidence that the face is a mesa or a butte other than an alien artifact. Even though conspiracy theorists are convinced they have proof of alien lifeform. Most evidence points to it being a landform, like a mesa or a butte. There is also not any logical reason for NASA to hide the idea that it is evidence of aliens if it were true.

In the passege ""Unmasking the Face on Mars"", it states, ""The caption noted a ""huge rock formation...which resembles a human head... formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth"" The reson why the rock formation looks like a face could be from rocks being inside the sand to formate the face and the rocks could have shrunken or have gone away.

In paragraph six we get evidence from ""Dr. Huang"" telling us how this could possibly be like a good human instructor like a teacher. The evidence proving this comes from ""Dr. Huang"" himself he says ""A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored,"" ""Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor."" basically ""Dr. Huang"" is saying of course down the road in the future a classroom computer can recognize students emotion and make constant changes to the students lesson on the computer to make a effective lesson like an actual human teacher. Thus proving that this technology to read a students expressions in a classroom is valuable.
Another example proving that the use of this technology to read a students expressions in the classroom is valuable because in education there is alot of classes and alot of technology classes you can chose from one of the many technology based classes is Web Design. Again in paragraph six we could see a huge increase in technology more specfically animated faces. For instance in paragraph six we get evidence of how the same technology can make computer animated faces alot more expressive. Here is evidence ""The same technology can make computer-animated faces more expressive-"" again proving how this technology to read the emotions of students in class is actually valuable.
Another piece of evidence proving this technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is valuable because in fact there are colleges out there that do offer video game based classes this could be another advantage. It is an advantage because video games are technology and since colleges are offering classes based on videogames this could really increase the learning atmosphere for each and everyone of those students who take that course. A piece of evidence would also again be found in paragraph six where it states ""The same technology can make computer-animated faces more expressive- for videogames"". This is proving that this technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom or a videogame course in this case is valuable.
Another piece of evidence is how we first found this technology back in paragraph one the very end of it we get some background information on how this technology was found. We get the evidence that this sofware is the latest discovery from ""Prof. Thomas Huang""
of ""Beckman Institute for Advanced Science"" at the ""University of Amsterdam"". Just knowing that Professor Thomas Huang may not be a student but is teaching this software to his students in classroom is for sure valuable. We even get this really nice piece of evidence
""Dr. Huang and his colleague are experts at developing better ways for humans and computers to communicate"". This is saying Huang and his colleague are making this technology to read the emotional expressions of students in classrooms is valuable.
In conclusion the use of this technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is super valuable from videogames, professors to classroom computers and even just improving being able to read facial expressions is important because after all most of the human communication is nonverbal meaning not talking it is just simply ""emotional communication"". Also it says in the very begining that this new revolutionary software has promising applications for a good ammount of industries.

ADF3010B2E4A,"It seems that almost everyone I know has a car. However, cars are the creators of a large number of problems. There are a number of reasons that less car usage would be beneficial to our society. This could include limiting pollution and congestion, improving health, as well as saving money.
Cars are responsible for a large part of greenhouse gas and carbon emissions. Cutting car usage would immensely help our environment, which is a goal that many people want to achieve. In some cities in the United States of America, cars are responsible for as much as 50 percent of greenhouse gas emissions. Some cities, like Beijing, China are so polluted, that smog is abundant throughout much of the city, making walking and other outdoor physical activities very unpleasant. Limiting car usage would help narrow that pollution a lot. Our environment has been negatively affected for a long time due to car usage, so it is time for that to change.
While many people would say that cars are a necessary means of transportation, there are many other available sources to cut car usage. These sources could include walking, bicycling, skating, taking a bus, carpooling, as well as many other activities. Not only do some of those activities not pollute our environment, but they are also healthy excercises. Cars are also a large reason for accidents and injuries. A large number of people die or get injured every day due to car crashes. While many people are safe drivers, car accidents are almost unavoidable.
Limiting car usage is another way of saving money, which is something that just about everyone I know wants to do. You end up spending a lot of hard earned money on gas or insurance rates because of cars. I know that many of my teenage friends are always bugging their parents for gas money. By using other means of transportation, that money could be saved and spent on something worthwhile to you.
By now, you should see all the positive effects of limiting car usage. While cars are a large part of transportation, there are a number of available sources of transportation that can be used instead. I hope that next time you are planning on going somewhere, whether it be spending time with friends or going to work, you will think about another source of transportation besides a car.

The district, home to 5,500 residents, showcases how suburban areas can be more compact, accessible to public transportation, and less car-dependent. This approach aligns with efforts in the U.S. and Europe to develop suburbs that favor public transport and walking, with amenities within walking distance. However, despite these efforts, challenges remain in changing car-centric attitudes and adapting urban planning regulations to support such sustainable living models.",https://huggingface.co/datasets/nlpatunt/dataset_rubrics/raw/main/Persuade/score_prompt_template.html

The use of phones at school lunch is good for the students both educationally and socially. With the use of phones at school students could be more socially and educationally active. If you let students use phones at lunch their is less chance they will be using there phones in class.
If you let the students at least once a day bring out their phones there will be a happy student body at this school. A happy student body is important because if the student body is not happy their is a chance the students are more likely to break rules.
In addition if the students forget their work they could call their parents to bring their work to school. Did i mention students could then use up their time socializing and getting more efficient with technology.
I ask you on behalf of the student body to let the students of this school to bring their cell phones and use it at lunch period. To have an A plus school you must have an A plus student body. You could get the A plus student body you deserve by giving us the right to use are phones at recess. Phones are involved with our everyday life!

18113556C5DC,"First off , In my opinion I think that there is no face on the moon. Some of NASA believe that some aliens made the face on the moon years ago. I believe that there is no face and that is beacuse there are no aliens. If there is a face on the moon it was probably made by an astroid or a meteorid that crashed there a few years ago and it was just now starting to form more into a face. If it were aliens who created the face on the moon, why didn't they come back time after time so the humans could see them. Honestly, who is there to blame for this mysterious face on the moon? Many people may ask, what should we do to figure out if there is a face or not. Well in my opinion, I think we should have NASA send someone or some people to the moon and see whats really going on. NASA also doesn't have evidence that there are aliens that did it. They just assume that there are aliens basically. Maybe there is really no face on the moon. I really think that maybe NASA should either just let this go or they should just send someone to space to chck it out. I just don't like how NASA has no evidence that there are asliens who made the face. I think maybe NASA should just go check it out for themselves.
Second, 25 years ago when Viking 1 snapped a photo of the face on the moon, it didn't really look all that good. Even when they took the photo from 1998 and 2001 the pictures still didn't look as nice as they should. People could always just snap a picture and rearrange things in the photo and then make it seem like there is an object there when there really isn't anything there. In the paragraph it even say's ""new high-resolution images and 3D altimetry from NAA's Mars Global Survey spacecraft reveal the Face on Mars for what it really is: A mesa."" That could possibly mean that when they were looking at photos they could have saw something else but rearranged the photo to see another thing that they didn't see but they wanted the world to belive them that a face wa on the moon.

D24996A97544,"Dear Principal,
I think it is unfair to the students who make a C average not to be able to participate in sports.
If they don't do any work at all and you say they can't try out for a team then I understand, but some people do try hard on their school work but don't always make high grades.
If they have a C average they should still be able to try out for the team.
If they are not doing any work while on the team then they should be removed but if they are trying but can't get high grades they should still be allowed.
To make a B average is kind of hard for some students because they may need extra help that they cannot get but a C average would be good because that is where most people have their averages at.
If during their sport the students grade drops then you should warn them once and if their grades are still dropping after the warning then they should be removed off the team.
I think when looking at students grades you shouldn't just look at their average.
Look and see if they do their work.
Then see if they pay attention in class then check to see if they get in trouble a lot.
I think that is a good way to see if a student should be allowed to try out for a team instead of just looking at their average.
So in some cases I agree that students with a C average or lower shouldn't be allowed to try out for a team but that is only if they goof off, get in trouble, and don't do their work.
For students with a grade C average or maybe lower that try hard, pay attention in class, and do all their work they should be allowed to try out for the team.
Like I said earlier if they make the team but begin to slack off in class then they should be warned once, but if it keeps happening then they should be removed from the sport.
That is all I have to say about this topic.

In reality, people are actually trying to make it happen, there has been proto types of cars that are mostly driveless and testing of many kinds. Whether it happens or not, theres a weighing question of is it a good idea? It is a bad idea, they should not make cars driveless because it cost a lot, may not even ever work, and its dangerous.
Money is a huge factor to this type of technology, can you imagine the cost of developing thousands and millions of cars that have such an advanced technology to be able to drive, brake, get to a destination all by itself? Its pretty expensive to even to make a proto type or test run these so called ""Diverless Cars"". If a car like such is created how would the world be changed? Not only would the car itself be expensive to create but theres more factors to just creating the cars, its how the cars themslef work. In the article, ""Driverless Cars Are Coming"" the author tells about some proto types or car similar to the ""Driverless car"" image. The authors gives an example about cars that uses sensors or radio signals that are telling the cars what to do. That means, the roads would have to give off certain signals that contribute to the car itself, the roads and lights would also have to have signals and sensors. It would cost tons of money to do things such as rebulid roads or lights so cars like these would properly worl.
The car that drives themself may never actually be a thing, there is so much to it. The cars may never truly be driveless, technology cannot do everything humans do. There is always going to be times an actual driver may need to come in. Things such as, traffic or crashes or roadwork and there is no way of telling if driverless cars may be able to adapt to that. Not only is adapting a problem but is our technology advanced enough to have driverless cars? We as a society are advanced in the technology area but is it advanced enough to develop cars that are able to know where to go or what to do just like humans are? Technology things do not think like humans, they don't think at all, they have to be programed a certain way and there is always surprises or certain situations that these cars would not be able to do it properly or safely.
Safety. This is quite the biggest concern with a product such as a driverless car. How can you insure that these cars are 100% safe? The cars technology may run into a problem later on that it, itself is not advanced enough to know exactly what to do so it may cause a person danger. The whole car is made of technology and we can not rely on it, things happens, technology may not always work. There has to be certain signals or things such as a battery life, or the technology may just fail altogether. If someone was to be in a driveless car and the system in the car or the technology were to crash was stops the car from doing the same? If the technology messes up and the car doesn't know when to stop it could cause a crash. Technology can never be completely relied on, until it can, there will always be safety issues or concerns and thats enough not to make something that could be very dangerous to someones life.

There is no 'community service'
without 'community.' Think about that. Sure there's more to the community than just our school, but doesn't every little bit count?
There really are more important things to do than just sit around watching TV all day. What about all those children? Not the ones with all the new clothes, or the ones with the huge allowance. I mean the ones with nothing. The ones in which the only meal they eat is at school because a classmate offers them a little something. Those are the ones that need OUR help. They're not just in Haiti or Africa. They're right here in this very town, some even in this school.
Community service is simple. It can just be organizing a canned food drive and having each kid bring a little something in. We don't need to go all out. They say a little goes a long way. We all put in a little bit and before you know, we'll have enough to feed a nation. Or maybe just the kids in our town, but still, you get my point.
Community service should be necessary. There's nothing wrong with it.
You give a little time, get a little joy. It's a win win situation for everyone. Let's go out there and do something.
Lending a hand is all it takes. Just help the other students to understand that. We don't have to go and build a whole school in Africa, we just need to do SOMETHING. That something could simply be picking up litter or maybe helping a neighbor with some yard work. We just need to get involved.
All I ask that you think this over with an open mind. Sure kids have homework that they say they need to get done, but they don't do it either way. Let's get them off their couches and into the community. Maybe a field trip to see first hand what goes on? That could give the kids a wake up call. Just put yourself in the shoes of the needy.

9CFA62F555FF,"Dear Principal,
I believe letting students have their cell phones in school and being able to use them in their lunch periods and other free times as long as there off during class is a very good idea.
You would have less detentions being handed out to students because of them having there cell phones out in class and texting on them. You would have more students wanting to learn instead of being mad all the time because they get so many detentions over having their phone out in class and/or because a teacher took their phone for them having it out in class.
I know if I were to get my call phone taken away for having it out in class I would be mad! I would just want to be angry all the time and I would end up having a major attitude towards the teacher that took my phone and gave me the detention and I would just end up with more detentions. I also know, if this were to happen to one of my friends they would act the same way. To us teenagers, our phone is our life! We don't leave home with out it, we don't do anything without it. So if more students could even just bring it to school and have it off it would give them... Us, a sense of comfort. Another thing, a lot of students wouldn't be so jumpy. They would be more comfortable and calm.
Students would probably get better grades too because when they get their phone taken and put in with the principal or in the desk of the teacher that took it, the student worries about it. So if they could not get it taken away they would be more willing to do their homework instead of worry.
So in my opinion, letting students have their phones in class and letting them use them in their lunch periods and free periods is a very wise idea. I believe this because kids would just be all around more happy.

I will take a stand and do community service. Just think about the oil spill that just happened.
When I was one day watching the news something caught my eyes. There has been an terrible oil spill, in the oceans. Just think about how all the animals felt, when the fish were swimming they were eating and breathing the oil. Over 1,000 of animals have died because of this. Some people just don't under stand they can make a huge difference, just walk along the beach one day just look at all the litter that is around.
People just take advantage , of the situation and just throw there litter on the floor not caring and thinking of what could happen. ""Think before you do people.""
All that stuff can get washed up on the shore, a jelly fish might mistaken it for a nice little snack or any fish in the water. We all have the chance to make a difference in are world to make are world an better place. Some are just to lazy to do it, i understand on the other behave, will i didn't do it. Just think of if your house was getting robbed and the police said well we didn't do it so there is nothing we can do about it! How would that make you feel? What if Obama the President Of Untied States Of America said well i didn't create all the problems invoking the taxes, and health care, this problems were already here when i got here.

The cars would also alert the driver when it needs you to take ove the wheel. There would be less reckless driving. The roads would be much safer. The self driven cars would not require as much as todays cars do.
Driverless cars also have a negative side. The cars still require a human to be alert in case he needs to take the wheel. The care requires a human hand to be on the wheel while the car is driving. A danger is that the brakes could suddenly go off putting the people in the car in danger. According to the article the car cannot drive itself around work zones and around accidents. So the human would need to drive.
I am for the development of driverless cars. I believe driverless cars would improve our world.
I think they would be a great developement. According to the article they would require half of the gas a regular car uses in todays market. The cars would react much faster than a human due to thier sensors applying brakes much faster. The number of deaths would be less due to driverless cars. Less control a human has the less reckless driving there will be.
Automakers should continue their work to improve the driverless car. They would require half of the current cars. They would make the steets safer. The self driven cars would allow humans to be on their phones without putting others in danger. Humans could still gain control of car if needed.

2EDBA445104A,"My position on driverless cars is that i beleive they shouldn't be made. People are lazy enough as it is. Driving cars isn't a difficult tast to do and the last thing we need is for the car to drive by its self. This will cause people to be dependant on the car to drive its self and will not be as alert in the vehicle and will result in a crash. Cars have always been made to be driven by a person, not a computer.
The driverless cars will be ran by automotive radar sensors, GPS reciever, and an inertial motion sensor among ther devices. Those things could break at any given moment and the passenger(s) in the car won't know and will assume everyhting is fine, but seconds later they are in a crash just because the car devices are broken. When someone is in the diverless car they could fall asleep or just could not be paying enough attention. Even though the seat will viberate when the person needs to take over, they could be a heavy sleeper and they won't feel the vibration. The car requires that the driver needs to be alert and ready to take over if the road conditions are too much to handle for the car to drive its slef. What happens when the person isn't paying attention? A car accident could and will happen.
So many things could go wrong with cars, so why add to the problem? The driver of the car needs to be alert. How will we know if we can trust that person to stay attentive to the car? By the time the car alerts the driver and the driver takes over it might be too late. The car could back into something or een swerve off the road and hit someone. Technology has glitches. If there is a glitch with one of the devices then the result could be life threatening. We won't know if we should blame the car or the person.

F359B5C9762C,"Some schools require students to complete projects during summer break. Teachers do this so that students don't become lazy when they return to school and it keeps their brains working. Doing projects during summer break will ensure that all students keep using their brains and don't just ""turn them off."" Projects should be teacher-designed because the projects won't be off topic, and the criteria will be correct; even though, students will be more interested in the work if they could create it.
First, the project won't be off topic if it's created by a teacher. The teachers know what students need to be taught before graduation and can make sure the project benefits the students. Doing this, students may get to graduate sooner if the projects cover what could be taught in a classroom. With the teachers creating the projects, they can ensure that the students are learning what needs to be learned and there are no mistakes.
Secondly, all the criteria in the project will be correct. Teachers are more experienced in creating work for the students; therefore, the projects will be challenging enough to keep students brains working and it will all be correct. Students would have a hard time trying to come up with a project and having to create it all at the same time. It would be less challenging for the kids and less stressful for the teachers.
However, with students making the projects this will ensure that the students will be more interested in the topics. Students will be more inclined to do the work if it's something they like and can choose. People would complete more work doing something they like. With that, teachers may see a rise in grades if students can complete something that is in their best interest.
Lastly, projects should be teacher-designed because the projects won't be off topic, and the criteria will be correct; even though, students will be more interested in work if they could create it.

5E75902533E2,"Summer projects are normally always dreaded by students and pushed to last second to complete. These assignments are usually given with a rubric and step by step guide on how the project should be completed. So what would happen than if students were given the opportunity to come up with their own project to complete? A student-designed project would open a new creative outlet for kids, have a higher chance of actually being completed, and it would give the teachers a better understanding of what needs to be taught throughout the next school year.
Not every student learns the same way, some kids are audible learners, who can learn by just listening, where others need to be hands on and are very visual learners, who need to be able to see what they're learning. It's hard for teachers to be able to work around and create projects that can benefit every individual student. Student-led projects would allow each student to find and use their own strengths and weaknesses and work off of what helps them retain information the most. With very few structured rules, the kids can run with their crazy, out of this world, thinking that fades away as you get older. If anything was to come out of student- designed projects it would be the different approaches to go about learning, to help teachers creating projects in the future.
It's very hard for students to be motivated to do something given to them by a higher authority, normally kids are motivated by a single letter grade or by a percentage. There are some kids though that as great as the reward may be, if they arent interested in the topic, then the homework, project, or worksheet won't get done. With the choice for the student to create the project on their own, it's highly likely that it's gonna be something that interest them. If it's something they actually are interested in, the more willing they'll be to actually completing the assignment. Compared to teacher-designed projects, the student created projects have a higher chance of actually being completed. It's not necessarily driven by a letter or a number, but more by a student's want to learn.
Student-designed projects help teachers figure out what needs to be taught in the incoming school year. When teachers receive these projects at the end of the summer they can take a look and see what knowledge each child has on the topic at hand and what needs to be taught in the future. It almost saves time and energy for both the children and the teachers, who now can direct their energy to something that is new and or never been taught before. Every school year, for the first month or so, many teachers review lessons and topics that were learned the year before. That wastes a whole month that could have been devoted to teaching a new lesson or topic that may never end up getting taught or rushed through at the end of the year, due to time. Student-designed projects allows repetitive or rushed learning to never be an issue.
Overall, student-designed projects have many more advantages than teacher-designed projects. Letting students decide what and how they wanna learn opens a door for a positive learning environment. It helps put the joy back in learning and the educational system as a whole. Student created projects allow for kids to find their identity and learn new things about themselves, it encourages a greater probability in the projects to be finished and to the fullest potential, and it helps both the child and the teacher for the school year ahead. Student-designed projects are perfect for the future of education.",,612,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

A6432958C29A,"Sorry I can't, I have something afterschool. Get used to that, because you're going to hear it everyday. I disagree that all students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity because it's time consuming, kids want a choice, and they might already do things after school.
First of all, doing an extracurricular activity is time consuming. What if your parents/guardians can't get you there, and you can't get a ride from anyone else? Do you just skip it, or do you have to find something else to do? Also what if you want to do multiple activities, but they're on the same day and you don't have time for both? After school it's already like three o'clock, you should eat and have at least some time to relax, and if a club or sport runs long, you might not be able to finish your school work afterwards, or get enough sleep for the next day.
A second reason I would disagree is that kids want a choice at what they do. If they're being forced or required to do something, they're most likely going to resist doing whatever it is for the sake that they're simply being required to do it. Kids might also become uninterested if they didn't really like whatever the activity is in the beginning, but they still had to do it. Would there be a grade dependent on this extracurricular activity, whether a kid is doing one or participating, since it would be required? Or should we just be kept busy? If it's graded, kid's are going to not want to do it even more because it's practically more school, just after school.
The last reason I disagree about kids required to do at least one extracurricular activity is, what if they already have things after school, like family plans, jobs, or tutoring? Kids are already tired from school but requiring and packing on them to do more , that's exaughsting. Whatever they do is going to be physical or mental. I don't know about you but I can't do physical activity if i'm not in the right mindset, and I can't do mental things if my brain's worn out from a long day. Another thing you should think about is the cost. Most extracurricular activities can get pretty expensive quickly, and some families don't have the money for it.

A1AB71F3352D,"Dear state senator,
As a law abiding citizen, I feel that the American public should have a say-so in the elections of the President, or any other government party leader, and to do so, should be a direct vote. While our Founding Fathers, with all due respect, chose the Electoral College to pick and choose our leaders, this is the 21st centuary. A centuary in which the government upholds too much power.
The government has been critized quite intensely over the last few years over one topic - lying. Lying to the citizens in which it - should - be serving. Although, it doesn't. The government serves itself. So why should we elect a panel of people to elect for us? After all, when we vote, we - I speak for the entire American republic here - imagine us submitting our vote to count directly for our selected representative. Not for some unknown nit-wit to chose a government agent for us. What if said nit-wit lies, miscounts, or purposely puts his own imput into the system instead of the American voting population?
Direct voting is, perhaps, inevitably more efficient. Our votes could run through a machine, much like a state test such as FCAT, anf the total vote could be directed for either candidate. The chances of a tied poll is rather extremely unlikely due to the masses of the American republic. Plus, it singles out the chance of lying in a government of liars.
Swing states wouldn't exist. Instead of singling out a particular area of the country, they'd be, more so, targeting the country as a whole, because then would every individual vote mattered. No one would be left out, and the more honest, obviously more chosen, president would win out, and almost everyone would be happy.
We live in a system at which the government lies, quite fairly, a lot. A direct vote would whip them out of that in the voting process, as the votes, singularly, would matter. Every last one of them. It would also nip the idea that only certain areas, certain states, mattered, because again, every vote would matter. Directing voting is obviously the way to go.

Law Abiding Citizen.

A3B1DE87F2AB,"In the midst of the great education reforms being implemented throghout the American schools, students are now more than ever profitting of the usage of technology into the evoloving schooling sytem. However, one problem still remains, as summer starts, students tend to forget the material that they have learned last year, thus causing most students to enter the year severely underprepared. As a result, teachers coupled with students have proposed the Summer projects to continue learning during the break. But on the note of the responsibilty, it is quite obvious that it should be through the teacher's discretion as teachers can gauge the level of the content needed for the student to be caught up to speed in the class and can also decide the necessary quatity of the content for the best in depth review or introduction needed for the success in the class.
As it is no surprise that students during their break are less inclined to work on the given school topics, the responsibilty of the project must rely with the teachers. Furthermore, the teacher's discretion is imperative and valued more than that of the student's as the teacher has accumalated more experience and has taught the class before enabling the teacher to provide content that is likely the most helpful for the class. Similar to a situation of a job interview, the interviewers will most likely choose the more qualified and experienced person similar to that of the teacher, as the teacher provides a more quality insight that is valuable to the assignment opposed to the student who has never taken the class before to assess the design of the summer project. Additionally, referenced in the book the
Crucible by Sir Arthur Miller, the town amidst the public hysteria of the witch, listen to the village elders or the religious heads as they are the most experienced and are able to vison what is best for the community throughout the book, further higlighting the point that the teachers are able to gauge the intellectual capabilites of the students and best envision the materials needed to create a succesful classroom environment.
With teachers as the primary entity that could design the most helpful project, teachers are able to conduct a simulation of what the class entails coupled with the accurate coursework implemented through the quantity of the project. Furthermore, through the quantity of the project, the teacher enables the student to decide whether the class is suitable for the student's time table or interests coupled with the best in depth review and introduction prior to the class for optimal learning conditions. On the contrary, if students were to design the summer project, the project will likely not entail the necessary requirements including the least possible work quantity wise, along with misinterpreted information because of the lack of experience in taking the class. Similarly, work ethic and motivation will likely also increase as, the higher the quantity of the assignment the more motivation it requires to surmount, developing needed skills in both school and the workforce. Hence, with the teacher's design the student will not only better his knowledge on the topic but determine whether the class is for the student and increase quality life skills that are imperative.
While some say that with the students able to design his/her own project, they are able to self-evaluate their weaknesses prior to the class, it is imperative to know that on the contrary, teachers can apply their experience on the matter by demonstrating techniques that may have worked on other students to the student to better their weaknesses. Furthermore, while students may also be able to enhance self studying on the topic, the teacher is able to create an accurate simulation of the course in the project along with clearing any misinterpreations that may have been used by another source by giving the questions and answers the way the teacher wants it in the future. Additionally, with the teacher designing the summer project, the teacher is able to provide easier methods in which a problem can be solved through their vast experience on the matter.
Therefore, to close the argument, teachers should be able to design the summer project given to the students as the the teachers are able to provide a simulation of the class and coursework, apply their vast experience on the matter to simplify the students' assignement, and deem the quantity and quality of the assignement that is just right for the students to excel in the class in the future and polish their skills that they learned the year prior as teachers hold students' success at the forefront.",,768,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

C266F2FBD7CC,"Dear Principal,
The following change in the school policy, in my opinion would be a positive change. Although the majority of the students have a C average, a required B to be in after school activities would make more sense.
Truthfully , if a student really wanted to participate in an after school activity they would keep there grade up to the appropriate standard. I mean sports shouldn't take away from a students education, a high academic grade should be a students main priority. Plus if the parent or legal guardian found out his or her child wasn't passing at a proper grade average , they will complain to the school board on how their child isn't getting the ""proper learning skills"" they need, when more then likely the student being to occupied with after school activities or other things.
Even though automatically taking the kid out of the team or club he or she is participated in is an option there are other options the school can use as well. Teachers can give the student make-up work to bump up there grade, the school can hold an after school intervention to give students the extra help they need in the first place, or the councilor can call the specific student into their office and give them a warning of what could happen in the future if they don't work harder in school or just straight up ask ""why are your grades so low?"" , and move on from there. Plus the student isn't necessarily getting low grades because of sports, the sports issue is just the conclusion a lot of people jump to. What if the student is having family problems , or what if the student is getting bullied, or other things outside of school , or they just don't understand that a certain subject, maybe he or she is just to lazy to the homework in the first place , there are a million reasons why someone would be to busy or non-focused on homework or class work.
In conclusion , having a B average would be a appropriate change in the school policy , but before just booting the student out of his or her after school club or activity , try and get down to the main point of why he or she isn't focused on there education.

The reason why self-driving cars should be manufactured is because it can stop ,or help prevent less accidents from happening. If theres less people in the car, then there are less people to get hurt ,and if the car is driving it going to be safe to have the car drive its self because its programed to make the best decision to keep the passenger others safe. BMW is making a car with a in-car safety feature to reduce the use of cellphones being used while behind the wheel. California, Nevada, Florida, and the District of Columbia have all allowed limited use of semi-autonomous cars. Companies and people wouldn't want to make or buy the cars if they weren't proven to be as safe as possible. It also said in paragraph 5, that they have cars that auto lock the breaks to make it safer.

030BBFC7D7F9,"In recent times, many schools have started to offer distance learning for students. Parents have voiced their opinions on the benefits and the detriments of online school. However, Students would benefit from taking online courses or video conference classes because students that may be considered unpopular may not fit into the learning environment, students may have no means of transportation to the school, and students with certain mental disabilities, physical disabilities, or medical conditions may not be able to function independently in a public school setting.
Distance learning for some students would be beneficial to their grades, mental health, and other inconveniences that come along with attending a public school. For example, my friend's brother Generic_Name was bullied all throughout elementary school and middle school and was considered an outcast by his peers. Due to this, he was always on edge while in school, causing him to fall behind in his classes. When he learned of the opportunity to complete his high school education from home, he applied immediately. Because he switched to online school, Generic_Name received better grades and was overall the happiest he had even been. Another example is my cousin Generic_Name. While in school, Generic_Name was constantly stressed by the pressure she felt to succeed placed on her by her parents, teachers, and fellow classmates. As a result, she could not focus on her studies and received disappointing grades on her report cards. Her parents learned of her situation and decided to let Generic_Name try online courses. Unknowingly, this was a great decision and my cousin felt more relaxed and got straight A's on the following report card.
For some students, getting to school on time every morning is a challenge. My best friend Generic_Name lived miles away from the nearest school and his parents had no way to take him to school and the buses did not come out as far as his residence. Therefore, he had no way to school, but if he was able to take online courses he would not have to worry about getting to school everyday. Another friend of mine, Generic_Name, lived on a secluded farm with his parents and lived too far for the buses, as well. In addition, he had to wake up very early in the morning to aid his parents with the livestock. In both cases, online courses would have been the best option and could become standard for those living far away from schools.
A video conference or online course experience would most likely be the best option for students with disabilities. As an example, a child with cancer would most likely have to be taken out of school in order to recover. However, they are missing vital information while out of school. Furthermore, children in the hospital most likely want to have the comfort of a relatively normal life. Online education would be a beneficiary to the child so it can still gain its education in recovery. Another example could be a child with cerebral palsy. Due to the child's condition, it may be hard for him of her to move around easily, so a large public school would definitely not be the greatest option for that student.
In conclusion, distance learning may not be the greatest option for the majority of students, but it would be a great option for certain students. Online school is a solution to any problem that might arise from having to attend public school, and could mean the success of a struggling students' endeavors.",,580,Distance learning,Independent,Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing.

308DA02A219C,"Dear Principal,
I believe that you should allow kids to use their cell phones during lunch and free times. This would make it so that kids are less tempted to use their phones during classes because they no longer have a reason to. For example, children won't text their friends while pretending to read, as shown in the video. To make sure that the cell phones are turned off before returning to class you could have a check done before leaving lunch and free periods by the school staff. Also, many times students rely on school to see their friends and if you aren't in any of their classes these cell phone times allow you to talk with them. Having a cell phone is very important to some kids as well as parents. Many parents feel safer knowing that if they need anything or get into trouble they can just call or text them. Another reason cell phones should be allowed is that kids will have more flexibility with after school programs. They will be able to call their parents to see if they can attend things like clubs and sports games which increases school spirit. Although many people would say that the children would just continue their lunchtime conversations during class and break the rules, I believe that kids are more responsible. However, if any student does disrespect the rules that you have laid out then they couch in terms get and after school detention or a small punishment. Punishments can continuously get worse every time they do it. If you don't have trust in the students at your school, then they will never be happy. In a school environment being happy is very important because it is easier to concentrate on work. Feeling like you have a little amount of power is better than thinking the school controls everything you do. Allowing kids to have phones in school gives them that power.

36820FEFBDCA,"Dear Mr./Ms. Senator,
I think it would be a good idea to change the election by popular vote for election of our president. It would be a good idea for a few reasons. One it doesn't fully represent the people, (or general population.) For example, Persident Obama in the 2012 election only recieved 51.3% of the population vote. However because of the Electoral College, he was able to become the president of the United States. And us, the voters, well we aren't even voting for our president. According to source two,
The Indefensible Electoral College , "" Voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president."" So us the people aren't even voting, do our votes really even count? Say i live in a state like Maine, then i only have 4 electoral votes, oppose to a big state like Texas, who according to the map in the third source have ""38 electoral votes"". My vote really doesnt even count. Because of the amount of votes your state gets in the upcoming election relys on the population. But every state only gets one final vote. so say Wyomming gets just as many votes as Texas, who represents 35 million voters. Do you see how this is unfair? And then theres the ""Disaster Factor"", This can destroy anyones chances at becoming president. It happened in the 60's it happened in the 2000 election, it can happen anytime. The Disaster factor is when repressentatives vote for whom ever they please. When this happened in the 60's rasists almost succeded in a plan to bump President Kennedy from the office. they were going to replace all the electors with different people to go up against Kennedy. The electors can bassically do what ever they please, considering we voted them in. They casn defy us as much as they please. In the 1968 election, just a mere 8 years after the would be catastropy of the segragationists, a tie, yes a tie, almost occured. It was about 10,000 votes away form a ""deadlock tie"". According to the second source, "" During the 2000 campaign, seventeen states didn't see the candidates at all."" They basically told the swing voters to take it off their hands and vote for who they pleased. These are just a few of the reasons why The Electoral College is Outdated and needs the be repalced.

First able i would like to know how you're doing, i hope you're doing well. I have been informed about a new policy in our school. This new policy will require for all student to have at least a grade B average to be able to participate in any sports or other school activities.
I consider this idea to be reasonable. I am pleased that you would actually consider this. I am in total favor of this new policy.
This may be the start of a perfect end to bad grades and behavior.

My suggestion is the following: Students with an A or B average will definitely be allowed to participate in any kind of school activity.
Students with a C average will be allowed to perform certain activities but not all. If they show improvement then they will be free to enjoy any activity they like.

D1701A8EEF26,"Dear Mrs. Principal,
Would you please consider to let students play sports unless they are failing two classes? many of my fellow class mates will feel very strongly against your decision if you do not at least consider what I am about to say.
First, most of the students at this school have a C average. Next, if only students with a B average can participate in sports, many students with a C- average would feel discouraged and give up before even trying. Some people in Algebra 1 have a c+ average because the work is substantially harder than Algebra A. Also since most of the students in the school have C averages than there wouldn't be that many people to try out for sports teams. Most of the students who have an A-B average are not very good at sports and therefore they don't even try out for sports teams. If they did try out than your team will mostly consist of scrubs. If there are only scrubs on your team than schools like SCHOOL_NAME and SCHOOL_NAME would murder them, and you wouldn't get any more trophies for the rest of the year.
Since most of the students have C averages, they wouldn't get put on the team, and thus they probably wouldn't make their high school team because over the Summer they would have had to start all over in their training because their muscles have forgotten how to play the sport like: swimming, basketball, baseball, and etc you have to continually practice in order to get better at it and in some states you can't practice them all year round so the only time they get to play them is for their school teams.",,284,Grades for extracurricular activities,Independent,"Your principal is considering changing school policy so that students may not participate in sports or other activities unless they have at least a grade B average.

AFF882607973,"Have you ever asked your friends for advice on an issue or to help solve a problem? If so, did you take that advice, or throw it to the wind without ever looking back? I believe that seeking multiple opinions allows for better decisions to be made. Asking for multiple opinions on a subject is efficient because it allows us to view an issue from multiple angles, allows for a more unbiased response, and hearing several opinions can change our thinking on a certain subject for the better.
First, asking for multiple opinions on a topic allows us to view an issue from all sides, rather than just our own. Hearing several sides of a story or particular topic, can often have an affect on our decisions. Say you and a friend get involved in an argument and you aren't sure how to handle it. You ask some friends what to do. They explain that your friend is having a bad day and some family issues at home. Rather than be upset with your friend, you decide to do everything in your power to help your friend out. Hearing other angles or sides of a story changes the way we view an issue or person, therefore plays a key role in the making of that decision or series of decisions.
Secondly, seeking advice from several people allows for a more unbiased response. For example, say a woman and her boyfriend have a disagreement. Asking her boyfriends best friend may not be such a great idea, seeing as he could be biased on the subject. Asking a group of neutral friends would prove most effective, therefore less biased. In more cases than none, one particular person may favor one side more than another, where as multiple people could appeal to both sides.
Lastly, receiving advice from several people can change our thinking on a topic for the better. An example would be, a friend of yours pulls a ruthless prank on you. Instead of laughing along with your friend, you become upset and infuriated. You make a split second decision to retaliate. Several people encourage you to inform your friend that their actions bothered you, rather than getting even. Hearing the same thing from several people can often affect the way we view a topic. Rather than repeating those infuriating actions towards your friend, you explain to that individual that you were offended and deeply upset by their prank. When we decide in our minds that something negative is a good idea, or our only option, hearing differently from multiple people with our best interest at heart becomes a deciding factor in the choices we make daily.
To sum it all up, asking multiple people for advice is more efficient that asking only one. Hearing several opinions allows for neutral, unbiased advice. Receiving advice from several friends, teachers, peers, or family members can play a rather important role on our thought process on a given topic in a positive way. And viewing all sides of a story, instead of just our own, can allow for better, more beneficial choices to be made.",,517,Seeking multiple opinions,Independent,"When people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person.

E3CC058CFB48,"Phones & Driving Essay : Credit Recovery
Driving and Cellular Devices have been improved from their first appearances to now. Wherever an urban or even a rural location takes place, cars and phones will be found. Which also means that the two can be used together and that becomes a horrible decision. Phones and Cars shouldn't be used together. A recipe for disaster, it's hard enough focusing on the road and watching others around drive on the same road due to keeping attention for one's surroundings for safety. Adding a cellular device to the equation makes paying attention more difficult for anyone in a vehicle and everyone near the area.
Cellular Devices have a good and bad reputation, depending on the topic surrounding it. However, when using a phone in moving vehicle, it tends to lean toward the bad reputation area. Cell phones should be banned from being used on the road. It takes the driver's attention span off the road and into the phone, causing them to divide their attention to whatever is on the screen rather than whatever is on the road which can cause an accident. Dividing one's attention between cell phones and the road can be as bad as a drunk driver. Going home without risking a life or causing an accident is an appulade motion for the person behind the wheel and others doing the same in other vehicles.
Accidents that have been caused by using a cellular devices, can go from a minor accident such as bumping to someone actually dying. Losing a life over something that could have been prevent is frustrating. The users of cell phones while driving has been around the ages of 16-24 that have been known for being in accidents that involved an phone ( the National Occupant Protection Use Survey). The National Safety Council reports that cell phone use while driving leads to 1.6 million crashes each year. Which would make out that 1 out of every 4 car accidents that has happened in the United States is caused by texting and driving (edgarsnyder). The statistics alone should prove enough information that a distracted driver is a safety hazard to others on the road. No matter the age, anyone can be involved in an accident if not paying enough attention due to cellular devices
In majority of car accidents, driving while using a cell phone is what causes most of them. It's gotten to the point that certain states in america have passed laws to stop using a cellular device while driving. Though, some states have alter the punishments depending on age and the situation and some states have benefit for only using phones for GPS. Regards of what is happening, phones shouldn't be used for safety reasons. In Georgia, the state has a law that makes holding a phone illegal while driving. Georgia is the 16th state to pass the hand-free law. Reading from a phone and recording videos on the device is banned from being used (Governor's office of highway safety). Having the law give restrictions on texting,calling and even using the cellular device can help better drivers focusing on keeping the attention on the vehicles on the road.
Driving while distracted can cause problems that can become unsolvable. Protecting yourself and other drivers around the vehicle while driving on the road is already dangerous enough if not paying attention to one's surroundings. Taking away the use of a mobile device while inside a vehicle is a smart plan in protecting someone's life. It can prevent life risking accidents from occuring, takes away distractions off the road, and stopping self harm because you can cause harm to yourself and not only others around you. Plus, the bill for car insurance won't go up because it wouldn't be a bill to pay. Fortmore, not using a phone in the car while in the driver's seat is just a smart decision, let the other passengers in the vehicle do the phone work instead. Your life isn't the only one at risk of the cell phone, put it up to save yourself from being in an accident.

52158495C326,"Most students across the world usually receive their education in person in an institution with instructors involved. Further, certain areas or schools themselves offer online schooling, where students are able to learn online either through an educational platform or through conference calls with said instructors. Online learning would benefit students as it can be easier for some students to learn, be helpful in certain personal situations, and can provide the education needed in the midst of an emergency within the area.
Online schooling may help students that may find it difficult to learn in a physical school. As the majority of the learning population with a short short attention spans and restless energy, children and adolescents struggle to focus in school. For some, the environment of sitting for long hours listening to lectures and doing worksheets is not suitable for them. And in some cases, the class is moving at a pace the student struggles to meet. Schooling in person does not always help the individual student as it moves according to the curriculum. Online learning would benefit those students who struggle to learn in school as they can learn on their own time, according to their pace, in an environment they are comfortable learning in.
As students grow up into their adolescent stages, they may find personal life struggles, where online learning would be a better option in place of learning in institutions. Students may find themselves in a other personal circumstances that might make it hard for them to return to school again. With mental health being a big issue in today's society, teenagers and even children struggle to find themselves. Some may end up in the psychiatric hospital, still worrying about school and their grades. Or perhaps, students have problems occurring at home. With online learning, students do not have to worry catching up on work and information that they missed as they can stay in pace. Online learning can give students their education despite their personal situation, whereas in person schooling may not do that.
There are multiple crises that happen in the world, and in those emergency situations, online learning would be best in terms of still providing education to students. In a case where a possible pandemic breaks out, many areas will have to be on lock down and quarantine in order to prevent wider spread of a contagious disease. Those areas on lock down will not be able to teach their students, so online learning would be available for such circumstances. Children will still be instructed online while staying safe. Virtual learning online would benefit students by still providing them their education when institutional learning cannot.
There are many certain circumstances that students go through in their life. Whether it affect only the individual student or the mass population, it may hinder their education. However, online learning can provide the education that students need during those situations, benefiting those students who struggle.",,482,Distance learning,Independent,Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing.

A8DFF4D30133,"Receiving or giving advice can be helpful in many different ways, especially from someone you trust. Usually when people ask for advice they are stuck, confused, or would like to talk to someone that has experience on what they need advice from. Advice should come from the heart. Just think about when someone has ever gave you advice or when you're in the moment of. You want someone to take you serious, and understand you.
Depending on how comfortable you are on what you need advice for, talking to multiple people may vary. However, from experience, getting opinions from more than one person can get confusing and here is why. One person may not understand, or even willing to help you with your decision. On the other hand others will cope, understand, and share their experience as well. Although, in experience receiving advice from more than one person has helped me a lot. You have to choose the right person to go to which is important. Not everyone can talk to just anyone, some people even get therapists or have guidance counselors! Therapists are more in the use of if you're going through something in your personal life and finding ways to get over it, or cope with.
In previous experiences I have been told, asking for advice is ""embarrassing"" to some people. I find that no where near embarrassing because you should not feel that way at all. You need to be comfortable at all times and always listen to what the other person has to say. Here are a couple small questions people ask for advice on just as little as these!
Getting a cat or a dog
Dealing with friendships or relationships
How to deal and cope with such things.
When you ask multiple people even with these three examples it gives a better perspective on your decision. If you're planning on ending a friendship but don't know how, I advise you to ask multiple people. As I stated earlier in the passage, asking multiple with help you choose your decision by listening to their previous experiences and even mistakes they have made if they have such in the process. Other peoples point of views will make you learn, and think about what you will decide on. What I mean by learning, is that when someone shares their advise you can learn by their choices and in future references by someone asking you for that same advice. In some cases, not everyone listens to someone else's advise and can completely ignore it. Which isn't a big deal because you never know. Some people even stick to their gut and don't ask for advise which can be smart.
In conclusion, seeking multiple opinions from more than one person can really help in various ways as stated above. You get more options to think about, and you learn from either their mistakes, what to do in future cases and in the back of your head, you will know whats best for you in the end.",,497,Seeking multiple opinions,Independent,"When people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person.

36746D9B154A,"""The Face on Mars"". Many pepole think that its more than what it is. They think that we're hiding something. That maybe what we found was something that we didn't want you to know. However, I can assure you that if their was anything going on in the solar system, that we would tell you because, well thats our job. Our job is to analyze the solar system and keep the public informed on anything that is happening outside of earth that normal citizens couldn't see for themselves. If their was life or anything else on the moon of Mars we would have seen it by now. Also, we would benefit from their being something special about the moon of Mars. Another thing believe it or not we wouldn't keep something that could change the way that we live to ourselves.
We would have seen something extrodinary by now. The picture that was taken in April of 2001 would have shown you anything else that sat nearby ""The Face"". Also in an earlier picture they determined that the mouth, nose, and eyes on ""The Face"" were shadows. They were not built into a structure the way that they would have been if indeed the structure was built by other forms of life. This also just popped up, if say someone or somethign did build it then it would have progressed. It wouldn't have just came to in one of our pictures. However, if say an asteroid had hit the planet, then it could have caused the same thing that had happened here.
On another note, anyone that knows anything about NASA knows that we get funding from the government. When we get funded from the government obviously they need people to check things out. The people that check things out are obviously going to get paid because that is their job. So if we're going to get paid more and more money to try to find life on the moon of mars then why wouldn't we want their to be life on the moon. The funding that NASA gets isn't little. Some people would have the oppertunity to make allot of money. It would also give NASA a chance to get people interested in what they do for a living.
The whole point of our jobs is to go to school to learn how to see things that happen in space beyond what we already know. We want to help and make a difference and keep people informed on what else is out there. So if we found something again we would want you all to know about it because we could teach you something. So many people think that our job is stupid and useless because all we do is stare at the stars. This would be a good way to show everyone that what we do is real. We really do see things that the rest of the world didn't know about. Most kids don't want to be an astronomer anymore they want to be doctors or lawyers. So showing them that what we do is important would be a good thing for the kids. We alll want whats good for the kids so why wouldn't we tell them?
Life on the moon of Mars. It sounds plausable. It sounds amazing. So many good things could come from the fact that there is life on mars that it is unreal.

46607966C5C2,"In the article ""Making Mona Lisa Smile,"" the author talks and describes to us this new technology that can detect how you feel and can tell you about your emotions just by looking at your facial traits. It identifies six basic emotions-hapiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness. This kind of a technology has many good and positive effects attached to it.
This technology allows us to know how a person is feeling or allows us to know how a person was feeling when a picture was taken. For example,""She's 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent happy."" This evaluation of emotion is from the painting of Mona Lisa, painted by Leonardo Da Vinci. Even though it was just a picture or a painting, this technology identified all sorts of emotion. There could be several other instances when this new emotion-recognition sofware could come in handy. For instance, we could tell if our friend is happy or sad, if they are lying or not, if they are disgusted or not. This could either strenghten our friendship or maybe break our friendship and so with this, we can detect/identify a lot of things.
This can be very useful for the media to detect when someone is lying. This new invention tells us that faces never lie. For example,""these muscle clues are sometimes used to spot when when a smiling politician or celebrity isn't being thruthful."" This can help the media or the news channel's to give the most accurate information and all the bias can stop. This on the other hand has many other benefits to it.

Thats one of the reasons why limiting car usage would be so great for us. Another great advantage we would have by limiting car usage would be lowering stress and lowering air polution as well,""said Carlos Arturo Plaza."" Also limiting car usage would make cities denser, and better for walking, those are the advantages of limiting car usage.
First off, limiting car usage would reduce greenhouse gases. Our cars are responsible for twelve percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe and fifty percent in car areas in the United States. That is an unbelievable percentage of greenhouse gases in Europe and an unreal percentage here in the United States. Lowering that percent would be great and alot of people would be thankful, and that would be an advantage of limiting car usage around the world.
Another advantage of limiting car usage would be lowering stress and at the same time lowering pollution. If you limit car usage and just stop driving a car, grab your bike and go for a nice bike ride, it would be a good thing if you are stressed out, it will take your mind off of things and allow you to ease the stress and just relax, and while your not even thinking about it, you wouldn't be polluting the air because your on a bicycle. That is another great advantage towards limiting car usage.
Also limiting car usage would make cities denser, and allow more walking room for people to walk around instead of having to dodge vehicles. If we limit car usage, we could probably build and make more parks where people could walk and exercise, but if we have alot of vehicles driving around, how could we do that. So therefore, limiting car usage would allow us to do that and there's another advantage of vehicles being limited.
Now do you understand how limiting car usage has its advantages? Here i'll let you know again. One it will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by alot. Two it can even lower stress as well as when your not even thinking about it, lowering pollution. Not driving a car and lets just say you go for a nice bike ride, that will lower your stress, it takes your mind off of things and allows you to relax, and at the same time your lowering pollution.

These projects are rather extensive due to the months that are given to complete it. Those who may oppose state that it is the teachers job to create these summer assignments and they are able to bring more structure to the project. Although some may disagree that student projects should be designed by teachers, it should be known that this is not true.
Students creating their own summer projects can benefit them as students. Assignments that are completed by students are created by teachers, followed by a due date in which it is to be completed. After the assignment is completed the moving on to the next. Over time assignments become a chore and are less likely to be completed by students. Allowing students the chance to create their own summer project that they would truly excited to work. Through their own creation topics that students are interested about can be integrated into the summer project. Even though the summer project could be less structured it would completed time and time again. Having created their own assignments students would better understand what is to be expected in the terms of how to not only completed but also pass. Once on summer break students are unable to contact teachers if they have any questions about the project through having created it themselves this would eliminate the unanswered questions. If students were allowed to create their own summer projects it would give them a sense of control over their learning that is often lost throughout the school year. Some students can become detached from their learning with endless amounts of work that is assigned to them. Through the creation their summer projects it would also allow students to place their input and become more hands on within their learning.
Through creating their own assignments, students are able to build qualities that are helpful in a work environment. The process of coming up with rubrics and topics in which the assignment could be upon can be difficult. Team collaboration is vital for creating an assignment along side teachers and other students. Having the ability to voice an idea or criticism can be useful not only within school but also in an work environment. Not only having to create but also complete their assignment helps develop a sense of work ethic that is helpful in any situation. Students often rush to complete assignments very last minute and having formulated the assignment they would have a better understanding of how to space out their time to complete the summer project correctly.

I would have to disagree with the B average to be in sports or other school activities. There are many students in our school that love sports, mostly guys, but they shouldn't just have a B average to participate. Many students with C averages want to do or just love sports and school activities but they wont be able to do any if you change the grade average. I don't think the grade average should matter on whether if students should or should not participate in the school sports or activities. So many students that go to the schools want to be in sports or activities but wont be able to if the grade average changes. If you change the grade average then some students wont be able to get the daily exercise that they need. Maybe the sports and activities at school are the only things some students look forward to be doing during or after school days. If the grade average ends up changing some kids will think that they wont be able to do anything else because they aren't in the sports or activity programs. They may feel like if they are able to be in the sports or other school activities then they aren't able to do anything else.
Some students may need everyday exercise but wont be able to get it because they don't have the right grades to participate in the school activities or sports. Please TEACHER_NAME take it into consideration that most students in the school wont be able to participate in the school if you change the grade average.

A65BB728AB32,"Cars are just a simple waist. Why use a car when you can take a bus or even walk. Cars bring a usage of smog. Not having cars is an opporuntity to take away stress and lower air pollution. Also Obama's plan was to curb United States greenhouse gas.
To start off, Accordring to ""Paris bans driving due to smog"" by
Robert Duffer it states in paragraph seventeen ""due to cars in Paris typically has more smog than any other European captials"" .If cars was ban smog wouldnt be a problem to our world. Since smog are caused by smog congestion was down sixty percent in the capital of France. The smog rivaled Beijing,China which is known as one of the most polluted cities in the world. In Frace they have more cold nights then warm due to smog because the warmer layer of air is trapped by car emissions.
In Addition, According to ""Car-free day spinning into a big hit in Bogota"" by
Andrew Selsky it sates in paragraph twentyfour ""its a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution"". People do need an off day because so many people in the world are just way to stressed out. Air pollution is bad for our lungs. If cars were banned it reduces air pollution. Many people have breathing problems like so myself i have asthma. if cars were banned it would be a safer environment to live in.
Further More, Obama's goal was to curb the United States Green house gas. According to ""The End of Car Culture"" by
Elisabeth Rosenthal it states in paragraph twentynine ""President Obama's ambitious goals to curb the United States ' greenhouse gass emmisson. Just because Obama not in the chair anymore dosent mean he didnt mean us no good. Obama plan was to take care of us phycially, mentaly, also fincially.

In Conclusion, cars are really not useful. Think about it, its bad for the environment,add bussiness to our world, and causes stress apon people.

B1EFFE527751,"All teachers and principals know that students use their cell phones during class even though it's not permitted. Why keep it a secret any longer? I think that the principal should choose policy A because the parent might need to get a-hold of the student during school for something extremely important, the student will most likely use their cell phone less during class from using it in their free periods, and there is no use not letting the student use their cell phone during a free period if they're not doing anything to begin with. These are some reasons why I think the principal should go with policy A.
First, the parent might need to get a-hold of the student during school for something extremely important. Something could have come up like a death or odd news. Another example would be that the student could have left something at home and they decide to text one of their parents to bring it to school for them. One more example would be that there is an unexpected club meeting of some sort that came up that day, so the student should be able to text one of their parents during the free period to let them know that they will be home late and give them a heads up notice. This is one reason why I think the principal should go with policy A.
Second, by letting students use their phones during lunch and free periods, that would give them the chance to just do something for fun and to get using their phones out of their system. It would let them have their time with there phone, so they wouldn't use it during class. It this manner, it is being both fair to the teacher, and fair to the student. Everybody gets their way. Yes, I think it is incredibly rude for a student to use their phone instead of listening to the teacher, but I also think it is unfair for the student to not have any person freedom during class. This is another reason why I think the principal should go with policy A.
Last but not least, I think that the principal should go with policy A because if the student has a free period, and they can do absolutely anything they want to, why not let them use their phones? There's no real harm in it. If they had a free period and had nothing to do because they forgot their book or already finished their homework, whatever the case me be, they should be able to use their phones to text or to just have fun. This is my last reason why I think the principal should go with policy A.
To sum up, I think the principal should go with policy A because the parent may need to get a-hold with the student for something extremely important, the student will most likely use their cell phone less during class from using it in their free periods, and there is no use not letting the student use their cell phone during a free period if they're not doing anything to begin with.

D5228994FD3C,"There is a concern that students come back to school not being ready to learn. Matter of fact, according to
Generic_City Times, 88% of students coming back from summer break are not mentally ready for school. Students and their families take vacations to free their mind off of school/work. Being off for three months for vacations/ free time, can be difficult for the students, as they come back to school. Students come back ""rusty"" or not ready, because their mind is still set on having a good time with friends and not doing any homework. To solve this problem (of students not being ready for school), school boards are deciding to require summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break. The question the school board is asking is, should summer projects be teacher-designed or student-designed? Summer projects should be designed by the student because students will pick a topic of interest, will not get a topic that they don't like, and teachers may give students challenging projects students are not capable of doing.
Picking your own topic for a summer project can lead to better grades. According to ""Academic Awards"", students achieved better grades when they work on a subject of choice. A student said at the awards, ""When I got to write about Hockey, which is my favorite sport, I put so much effort and time into my paper. I loved to write about how great of a game Hockey is. I truly believe that if you are allowed to write about a topic that you have true passion for, it will lead to great success. This aspect does not only apply to school work, but also the real world."" There have been many studies on how ""doing the thing you love"" will bring you great success. That same aspect goes with school, students learn and perform better when they are learning a subject of interest.
Normally, students do not like the topic of research a teacher assigns. People who went through school know that we have always had projects/ papers that do not fit our interest. Students slack on this aspect because they do not have true passion into what they are writing (not interested) or learning. One student from Generic_School states, ""My true passion was history, I loved to write about the challenges, wars, and new changes of the world. I was looking forward to writing papers about history because this is the topic that ultimately interested me, but when I had to write about a science paper, I had absolute no interest writing about it. I would make up excuses to myself on why I shouldn't write this paper."" Teachers teach about mandatory subjects that are either boring or not interesting. If summer assigned projects are brought to the attention, then teachers should not give out their own idea of what the student has to complete.
Not only do teachers pick uninteresting topics to research about, but they also pick topics that may be to challenging for the writer to complete. Teachers give out topics of study that are challenging for the student to learn about and can bring a student down (not wanting to complete the assignment). A student from Generic_City said, ""If I got a paper that was teacher-designed and difficult, I would not be up to do it. We already had to go through a whole school year doing what they teacher wanted us to do, why can't we choose our own topic for the summer?"" If a student gets a topic from a teacher that is to hard for them to achieve during summer, then they will procrastinate to finish it. Teachers have the whole school year to give out challenging projects to students, but for summer projects, a student should not be assigned hard and rigorous work.
Students should design their own summer projects because they will value their project more, won't get a bad topic (get to choose own topic), and don't have to deal with challenging topics teachers hand out. There have been many factors that have been in place to deal with students not coming mentally prepared on the first day of school. Should summer be shortened? Should schools give out homework for students to complete during the summer, so learning will be longer lasting? At the end of the day, no matter what the belief is about school work being done over the summer, student should be able to design and apply their own project.

FE9E14F641F8,"Automakers are progressing closer and closer to bringing fantasy and reality together by creating the driverless car. Many people debate whether they should be legal, or if they even have any real use to the world. The driverless car is not a practical option for the world to turn to.
To allow technology to completely overrun our lives and to go on ""auto-pilot"" for the rest of one's life, would do much more harm than good. The driverless car will allow drivers to essentially ignore the road and their surroundings during their trip. Though the manufacturers may warn consumers to be alert during their ride, one must find it pointless to pay for an automatic car, when they may have a normal car that requires a slightly higher level of attention. One must fear that for going on ""auto-pilot"" for so long, the people may forget how to drive properly.
When these cars get in an accident, there will be a law suit between the driver and the manufacturer. If the car gets in an accident caused by the car itself, then the manufacturer will have ""wrecked"" it's reputation, and hopefully will be forced to recall every autonomous car of that model, which would be extremely expensive fpr the company to do. To add to that, these cars will be far too expensive for consumers to be worth all of the legal and insurance hassle that would be attached to it.
Finally, one should find that the automatic car would disconnect their emotional connection to their normal car. Tthe automatic car takes the fun out of driving, making the task seem to be a mundane way to get from point A to point B. The automatic car would steal one's confidence in having control over where their going, which also means drivers would do less ""taking the long way home"" and more ""get me to where I'm going"".
In conclusion, the automatic car is not going to become the future of driving. In American society, people have emotional relationships with their cars, and the automatic car would not fill in that gap. For the people that would go for the automatic car would become unaware of their surroundings, and frankly would be set on auto-pilot for so long, that one fears that they may forget how to drive properly.

Although, it would be fundamental to have a teacher in charge of the summer projects, it wouldnt be beneficial for the students. Making the environment feel more like summer rather than a regular school day.
Having an idea of what connects the students to each other they are given the opportunity to create plans and project ideas around how others learn, with them being students themselves and having a sense of how their peers work it makes it easier to come up with these project ideas. This allows them to gain social skills, get a better understanding of the project, and how to properly execute the task at hand.
Also, allowing them to design the project gives them a sense of responsibility, the chance to show how to be a leader and to show their maturity level as well as how well they work when it comes to group or individual activities especially projects. This helps to build character toward a students leadership skills that can be used in the future and whether their work ethic is applied more in groups or individually.
Lastly, the overall fun of leading and designing a project for your classmates and getting to know what each other like and dislike within a project and picking topics that everyone can either relate to or just find excitement in. Since students usually understand what each other enjoy about projects they can rule out the difficulties of planning and have fun doing the project while balancing work with enjoyment. This allows Students to do the project with enthusiasm instead of being bored and miserable from getting a project topic they never wanted and without executing it in a way that would add their uniqueness to it.

07D1C6C46004,"Dear State Senator
The Electoral College is very unfair to voters. Voters can't always control who there electors vote for. It's not fair to just have like 20 representatives voting for a whole entire state of like 40 million people. What's the point in voting for a president if your not really voting for a president when your actually voting for candidate electors who will in turn elect the president.
I believe the process should be thrown out all together. The Electoral College is an unfair, outdated, and an irrational process. The winner take all system defines the word unfair. It awards all electors to the winning presidential canidate. Then the governor prepares a ""Certificate of Ascertainment""which declares the winning presidential candidate who will represent your state. Where in that is the citizen's say? Exactly we barely have any ""say"" in anything.
I understand the Electoral College process has been in place for a very long time but its time to just get rid of it. Im quite sure citizens of america don't like feeling like they have no say what so ever. Voters also get confused about the electors and often vote for the wrong candidate. The best arguments in favor of the Electoral College are mostly assertions without much basis in reality and the arguments agaisnt it are spurious at best.
The most worrying thing is the prospect of a tie in the electoral vote which will cause for the election to be thrown to the House of Representatives, where state delegations vote on the president.

Mr. Senator
I am a student at SCHOOL_NAME, and in my opinion we should change to election by popular vote for the president of the United Stastes. Thats my opinon because you would know excacly how many people actually picked the president of the united states. Some people might make a mistake and pick somebody they don't want so if you do it by paper, and give people what the president will do for us peolpe might make the right choise.
So if you really feel the need of taking down the collage go ahead and do it. It will be better and in the future we can make another one and make it bigger and better then the one we have right know. It might hurt some people I know that, but once we get the new one they won't be so dissaponited because you got ridd of the old one. So make a good choise. Most people say ""but it is like a home to me"" they might be saying that because thats what everybody says so take that one down and build a bigger and better one then the one we have today.
I know there is the bigger states but you can always split it boys one one side and all the girls on the other .
Look at obama he was suppose to make are country a better place but he is making it worse. so maby if we get a look at them and they tell us what they are going to do right in front of us we might pick a president that is acually going to do what he says, and not make our school lunch so horribale and so little. I'm not tring to be mean to Mr. Obama but he said he was going to make change we all thought it was going to be good change but NO he is making the biggest mistakes. I know we wall make mistakes but he said he was going to make change and so far he is making bad changes.
I'm not saing he is bad president but he said he was going to make change i just wish it was good and not bad. I have lived in the united states all my life and I have never seen this much bad change. I hear alot of bad stuff like world war 3 going to happen and i think to my self and think is this whta the world has came to.

The second reason drivers should be able to use cell phones while operating a vehicle is that it is nighttime, and they have trouble staying awake, so they call loved ones and have a conversation to help them stay awake, doing so with a handsfree. The third reason drivers should be able to use cell phones while operating a vehicle is because drivers pay a lot of money to get handsfree. Not be allowed to use cell phones at all is like the government robbing them twice. Twice because once for the handsfree, and another for a ticket for using it. The fourth reason drivers should be able to use cell phones while operating a vehicle is because they might need to report a bad driver.
The fifth reason drivers should be able to use cell phones operating a vehicle is because they might listen to satellite radio on their phone instead of listening to FM radio.

Another problem is that parents might not have enough money to go out and buy the things needed for that activity let alone the things they need for themselves to eat, drink, and sleep under a roof at night, or maybe if the school says they will have it how would they get the money. Would we even have enough money to go on trips if we needed to, say we win matches, games and go to a competition to see who is the world winner we wouldn't have enough money for that so we wouldnt be able to go.
Therefore brings me into another problem time, we would have to plan to go to those competitions and matches, games for that activity, and the students might not even be able to go to the extracurricular activities because they already signed up for one after school they wouldnt be able to make both everyday unless they quit one, or try to switch schedules if they could but if they couldnt, the students would have to quit the one that there doing outside of school they dont get a choice to pick witch one to quit because the principal said the students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity. If students are forced to participate in an extracurricular activity on top of the one their doing outside of school when would they have time to do homework, study for tests, hang out with friends and family they wouldnt be able to on weekend because they would be busy with that activity and on weekends they would rather have fun and hang out with friends than do homework I know I would.
Meanwhile, stress is a big and rising problem, students already stress enough with all the homework and tests that they have to do so by adding in work things onto their plate in going to lead to more stress and more failing grades do to stress and not being able to get work done in time. Stress is one problem a lot of people deal with and normally its mostly from school and by having a rule that all students most participate in at least one extracurricular activity your going to see a lot of students breakdown form stress.
Although having a rule that says that you must participate in at least one extracurricular activity could bring more people to be fir if its a sport or if its just like a debate club, chess club, or over all something like that it allows students to take a break from all the work they are doing, and instead of making it a thing you must be in you could say its optional and students would mostly likely be willing to join these activities.
Therefore, having this rule buy saying students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity should not be allowed because it overall isnt going to be useful or helpful buy creating more problems.",,592,Mandatory extracurricular activities,Independent,"Your principal has decided that all students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity.

C75471F5ED96,"Summer projects allow students to have the opportunity to learn while they are not in school and it can benefit them in many ways. Summer projects should be designed by students because it gives students the opportunity to learn more about something of their choice, it shows that they have a connection with the project, and it makes them more eager to learn about different things.
Students should be given the opportunity to create a project about something of their choice. It gives them independence and the ability to rely on themselves. It is good to give students independence starting at a young age because it allows them to be self reliant. Giving students the opportunity to create a project based on their own ideas and their own planning, will allow for success later in life.
Another reason why students should be able to design their own summer projects is because it will show the teacher how much of a connection they have to the topic. Teachers love when a student creates a well designed and well thought out project. If a student were to be given a project designed by the teacher, the student would feel like they couldn't do much with it because they have no connection with it. When students have a connection with something it makes them feel more enthusiastic about the project or assignment given to them.
Students are more eager to learn about new things after they researched something of their choice. When students have a choice, they would rather research something that they don't know too much about. After that topic is researched they feel enlightened. Students also tend to branch off of the topic that they first researched as well. This technique is often used by students because it makes research easier for them and they like to make things easier for them rather than harder.
In conclusion, Students should be able to design their own summer projects because it gives them new opportunities, it shows that they can connect to something, and it makes them more eager to learn about different things. Although teachers can provide students with a base and a template for their project, it would be best and beneficial for students to be able to create and think of something on their own.

I think policy one is better because kids actually get to have their phones with them. if they where to do policy two most kids would be ticked off because they don't get their phones at school at all and if they needed to call someone after school they wouldn't be able to because their would be no phones at school and would have to do something. kids would understand that they could use them at lunch and other times out of class more than just keep them at home.

9026B38CF35F,"Getting rid of the electoral college would be illogical and irrational. The electoral college was established in the Constitution by the founding fathers to compromise between the Congress and the people. It is seen as non-democratic to the modern day system because the electors elect the president, not the people because when you vote for a presidential election you are actually voting for a slate of electors. Many people say that ""what if they go against your wishes"" but the truth is that it rarely happens. So there is no reason to wory. We must retain the Electoral College depite it being ""non-democratic"" because we will be certain of our outcome, avoid run-off elections, and Electoral College restores some of the weight in the political balance that large states have.
""A dispute over the outcome of an Electoral College is possible - it happened in 2000 - but it's less likely than a dispute over the popular vote."" in paragraph 18 meaning that winning the candidates share of electoral votes over powers his share of popular votes. ""In 2012's election, for example, Obama recieived 61.7% of the electoral vote compared to only 51.3% of the popular votes cast for him and Romney."" in paragraph 18 shows how almost all states award electoral votes on a winner-take-all basis. So even if there was a slight popularity it creates a land slide in that state.
Having an Electoral College avoids the problem of having an election where no candidiate recieves the majority of votes. For example in 1968 and Clinton in 1992 both only had 43% plurality of popular votes. Which meant they were tied and meant of a run on election. However, having the Electoral College produces a clear winner. In paragraph 23 it says ""It can be argued that the Electoral College method of selecting the president may turn off potential voters for a candidate who has no hope of carrying their state - Democrats in Texas, for example, or Republicans in California.""(paragrpgh 23) Meaning that they might not even vote if it's not going to count for anything.
Electoral College restores some of the weight in the political balance that large states have by population. For example in the 2012 election the popular vote was very close in Florida and Obama got the vote with 29 electoral votes. ""So, other things being equal, a large state gets more attention from presidential candidates in a campaign than a small state does..."" because they mean more. (paragraph 21)
Many say that the electoral college is unfair to voters because of the winnter take all system in each state. However, why would you soend time in a state that you know they have no chance of winning. It would be a waste of time and money. That is why they focus on the swing states.
The Electoral College method of selecting the president could cause potential voters not to vote anymore because they don't see why they would if it doesnt count for anything. However no voter's vote swings a national election. ""Voters in presidential elections are people who want to express a political preference rather than people who think what a single vote may decide on an election.""(paragaph 23) This just shows how we should let the electoral college decide who will be running our country, not the people.

22D938F5E0E2,"Many Public and private schools have advanced in many ways throughout the past decade. Schools all around the world have weaved technology advancements into the classroom and outside of the class room to help get students more actively involved in school related activities and lessons. Technology is a blessing and curse, which means it helps teachers teach but also in certain aspects it worsens the attention span of younger children. Diving deeper into this world-wide technology advancement that is happening, there is this one main question that gets asked quite a lot by administrators all around the world, ""Would students work harder and better if they could attend classes from home virtually online or through video conferencing?"" My full opinion to that is, no. Studies show that almost 97% of people work better in a room full of other peers, although the isolation and focus you may have at your own home is nice and relaxing, in order for a person to fully develop into a knowledgeable student they have to have, social skills, community awareness, and be able to understand eye-to-eye learning. You can truly only achieve these three skills if you attend school physically, not virtually, that is why students would not benefit at all through at home learning than they would at school.
In order for all students to successfully climb up the social ladder, they need to have one major trait that can help all peers make connections, bonds, and even relationships, this skill is called social skills. There was a study done at Workman State College where scientist studied students who stayed home for the whole school day and then studied students who actually went to school for the whole day. Both groups of students were learning the same material, the group at home got a video of their teacher explaining everything exactly the same as what she taught in class. Half of students at home did not talk to a single person the whole day that they were at home, meanwhile, the students at school had many conversations with other peers and teachers. Throughout the day, the students who stayed at home lost 10% of there overall social communication skills and did worse on a pop quiz about the information that was being taught by their teacher. This study exemplifies that if you were to stay at home and miss even just one day of school you would miss out on many social lessons like peer project and even just normal conversations that are experiences that can strengthen you socially for the future.
While being at school you do not just learn about how to solve for 'x' in mathematics or who won the Mexican-American War, students subconsciously grow and learn more about their community throughout grade school. There is this whole other community aspect of learning going on that most do not even notice. What is truly important about getting up in the morning and going to a gigantic building filled with hundreds of people is that it is filled with family, friends, neighbors, and even strangers. Meeting all of these people and learning new things about them can really strengthen the school-wide community connections. Advancements with technology also help us by letting students connect with other people in their community, but technology also doesnt help us if we are letting students attend classes online through video conferences. Doing so would cause a major lack of enthusiasm and relationships within a community. Going home independently and working on classwork without getting the chance to learn about your teacher or other classmates through this safe environment at school, causes a total downfall on community awareness.
Going to school everyday and seeing you teachers and classmates is a prime and simple example of eye-to-eye learning. Eye-to-eye learning is basically being with another person in real life, not over a screen, and actually talking and learning form them. Almost every kid remembers at least one first day of school memory when they were little or even this past year. Well, that connection you made with other students and your teacher was an official eye-to-eye connection made. Unlike looking at a screen four hours on end while being taught, having the physical opportunity to talk to your teacher either in a whole class discussion or one-on-one is much more effective than an email or text message. There was a study done by the Freelance College in North Dakota, many certified scientist studied the difference between learning through videos on a screen at home or being at school learning through a teacher. Both groups were taught the same thing and took a ten question test on the lesson that the teacher had taught. The statistics showed that students who stayed at home had a test average of 75%, while students who went to school had a test average of 97% The students who worked on the computer at home had a shorter attention span because their teacher was physically not at their house teaching them, thus caused the at home students to do poorly on the test. Overall, this study clearly shows that students learn exceptionally better with eye-to-eye discussion in real life at school. Being able to communicate with a teacher one-on-one or in a class discussion really makes a positive change in the students academic performance.
Although being at home is a quiet place to focus, in order for a student to fully develop into a successful person you have to have, social skills, community awareness, and be able to understand eye-to-eye learning. The way successors achieve these three skills easily is if you attend actual classes and school related events, students would not benefit anymore at home through virtual learning anymore than they do at school. Even though there are so many technology advancements, schools world-wide need to realize that many staying simple is better and that students must always attend classes in person in order to achieve greatness in the future ",,990,Distance learning,Independent,Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing.

B0F3FA7DE6CE,"Students hate the fact they have to get up for school. Some students can get work done better if it was more quiet. They wouldn't be as stressed out from all the work they get they can go at there own pace. They would also be more dedicated to do there work. Students should take classes at home because they can be more comfortable at home and there would be less distractions.
When students take classes at home they can feel more comfortable. Students don't have to worry about getting up so early in the morning to come to school when they get up at a good time they had enough rest to be focused enough to do there work. Online classes can actually be better for the students because they move at there own pace even though there teacher might give them a do date but they wouldn't be as rushed as they would be in a public school. The students also can be more organized and keep up with there work better. However,being at home can take stress off the students because they don't have to worry about rushing to class or getting involved in situations that they should't be in. Some students concentrate more when they listen to music while they are doing there work,they can do whatever makes them feel more focused because they are at home. Video conferencing can help the student more because they are getting the teachers full attention and can get more help.
Online classes can make learning easier for the students because there would be less distractions around them. Being in a classroom full of other students can be difficult at times because of noises,constant talking,and bad influences,but being at home can be a little better because they can move away from the distractions. Students tend to get side track and the mind focuses on something else thats not important. They can get there work done more because they wouldn't be as talkative with other that will throw them off track. Consequently,students actions effect everything if they be around people that are bad influences they are going to fall into peer pressure and that can effect the students grades and schooling. Being at home taking classes can be less peer pressure for them that means better grades.
Finally,students taking online classes can be good for there mental health. The less distractions they get the more they will succeed. Being uncomfortable can be a bad thing for the student because there grades will fall and they wouldn't be as focused as they need to be. When at home they can find a place they can relax and get there work done. Less stress will be on them the more organize they will be no more crumbled up work in the locker or book bags because everything would be organized for them online.

91B840A41637,"Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break. I agree with this statement because it will keep their brain up to date and keep it running, you can be creative with your project and still learn at the same time, and it will keep you busy.
To start with, I think letting the students design what they summer project should be on is a good idea. this gives them an chance to express their good wild thoughts and to prove to the teachers that they can do something on their own. However, what they choose needs to be mature and kid friendly. By giving students a chance to design their own summer project for school is expanding their learning ability which is great they may even learn a few interesting things. this is them being their own teacher and being mature they will grow and grow more and learn more over the summer so when school starts back they will already be ahead.
Next, by them doing a summer project will help keep their brain up and moving and also up to date. I say this because typical kids in the summer go out and have fun which there is no problem with that but when they get back to school they forget everything they learned while in school. So by them doing a project at least they getting some kind of learning experience and an education in a fun way. I think letting the kids express their creativity in a learning way is good because they actually using their brain to think of good things to do for a project. teachers already choose enough for them to do this is giving the teachers a break and it's letting the students teach the teachers because teachers can learn things they didn't know from their students. This is called great communication skills.
Lastly, doing a summer project keeps the students occupied over the summer and keeps them from getting into mischief. this will look good on an college application as well your showing them how creative you are this will open wonderful doors for you in the future. Being occupied in a positive way can help you influence others to do something educational over the summer yes learning can be boring but when you get to choose what you want your project to be on is when the fun starts. even working with a partner can be fun as well yall can share your bright ideas with each other to make the project more fun and interesting with a little more spice. you can make new friends and this will build up your communication skills as well by working together on a fun creative project.
In conclusion, letting students choose what their summer project should be on is a good idea because it keeps their brain up and moving, you get to be creative , and it keeps you occupied. having an education in a fun way will have the students intrigued in what they are learning in class. it may even have the kids participate more in class as well. why be bored while learning when you can have fun learning. this will also build up the students bonds with their other peers and their teachers as well.

Why go through all this frustration when the alternative is so near to us. Its simple we don't have to.
Polution is a huge problem in this ever growing world. Its not solving any thing nor is it leaving things better for our new generation ton come. In places like Paris, Bogota, and Vauban Germany these few inovative pioneering societies have given up the past ways of driving and have looked on to better pastures. They ahve reduced polution, the ever growing smog and the relience that man kind has found in automoblies. having a over populance of cars in one place or country can be the game changer when it comes to polution increace if we would just deal with these few over populated areas we would reduce this global warming affect. 12 percent of passenger cars in europe and 50 percent of cars in the US are responsible for the greenhouse gas emissions.
As well they have a no unneccesary congestion, or disruption of the peace of their homes. All this alows them to have a high Quality of living they get more excersize time seeing that they walk every wher. This is solves the huge population of growing obesidy in modern countries. In places like Columbia there was a huge decrease in polution, on a car-free day. Millions were seen biking skating, hiking, and taking the local bus to support the new idea of car-free societies.
When living better it's just as important to excersize as it is to to have a clean and stress free enviornment. The every day problem of missing the bus or getting to work to late is a huge hassel to deal with. Your problems would over with out the use of cars this ensure the percentage of stress to decline.

81122C8AD46A,"Dear Principle,
I believe that a student with a C average should be able to participate in sports. If you have a C you are still passing and have a average grade. And I believe that is enough to play sports or other school activities.
A B is a good grade but you should not need one to play sports. If someone has a D they should not play, but a C is a good passing grade. If you have anything lower than a C you should sit, but if you have a good passing grade like a C you should still be able to play. I myself have to work very hard to get an A or B, so I think it is just fair to be able to play with a passing C.
If many students have a C average your schools teams will have not many people and many would not get to play. I think if I had an above par grade and I would be very upset if I had to sit. I feel that kids that at least pass should be aloud to play sports or other activities in school.
If someone on the team was not very smart but he could pass I believe that he should still be aloud to play. I say this because he is not failing school he still has a low passing grade. It would just be unfair to the kids that have C' s. They are still passing in school but yet they cant play sports. To me that is just unfair!

The small amount that driverless cars have actully driven there hasn't been one issue with crashing into other objects. Yes there are still bugs that still need to be fixed. The cars can not at this time pull out or pull in a driveway, they also can not tell when road work is happening or when there has been a crash on the road. All things when they first start are a little bit buggy but that doesn't mean in two to five years that things could get fixed. When those bugs do get fix we could see a crashless world.

381537D74495,"Every year lots of students take an extracurricular activities, sports, clubs, or student council are some just to name a few, but should the school forced you to take one? There are many reason why a student can or can't participate in an extracurricular activity. Sometimes things like home life, after school life, or maybe even school life can affect your ability to take an extracurricular activity.
For some students home life is just as or maybe even more important then their school life. Some students have the responsibly to look after their siblings. Not all parents can afford to send their kids to a daycare everyday, so they let the oldest sibling look after then well they are at work. A student could also be tasked with taking care of the house. Thing like mowing the lawn, cooking meals for the family, and clean up the house afterward can take a long time not leaving enough time for something like a sport. Last a student could be in a position where they can't drive to or from school everyday. When a student rides a bus to school somethings that is their only option and they can't depend on their parents to drive them to soccer practice. From taking care of sibling, cleaning the house, or even transportation problems students can have many reasons why they have to chose home life over an extracurricular activity.
When the last bell rings and you are home it's a student own time to do want you need, or want to do and some of that is more important than an extracurricular activity. Some students once they're old enough to get a job to earn money. With school taking so much time already that doesn't leave that much time to work, so once school is over students spend the rest of their day working at these jobs and not at a school club. School may be a student main way of learning things, but that doesn't mean it's the only. Many student take after school classes to learn something they're interested in that sometimes might not be able to learn at the school, so instead of an extracurricular activity at the school they go take their own classes somewhere else. Last students could just be hanging out with friends. Students have lives outside of school they hang out with their friends playing games, going to the mall, or just watching a movie these are all things school do outside of school other than just go home. Students live their own lives once the last bell rings like having a job, taking diffevent classes, or just hanging out at a mall, all things that an extracurricular activity would prevent.
A student main job in to get good grades in school, so when they need to get something done in school that becomes more important then an extracurricular activity. Everyday after school the first time you have to do is finish all your home work. Sometimes students can get a lot of homework to do, so they don't stay after school to do an extracurricular activity instead they go home to finish homework. If a student is struggling in school they might need to get some help. School is harder to some students than others, so these sometimes these students need to get help from a firend or teacher and that may make it so a student is not be able to attend the student council meeting that day. Last it could also be that a student needs to stay home to do a project, with or without a group, projects take a long time to do. Research, testing, and making the project can take all time and sometimes that mean that you can't particpate in an extracurricular activity. School is the most important piece of a kid's life and if having an extracurricular activity is affecting their school life in a negative way then the students shouldn't be particapting in an extracurricular activity.
I think that students shouldn't be forced to participate in an extracurricular activity. Student have lives outside of school that could get effected by having to participate in these activities. Students that have to watch siblings, clean, or cook from their family couldn't do so if they are forced to kick a ball in a game of soccer. Kids with tight jobs and after school classes would have to find a way reschedule thier activity that they already little time to do.

20498D2BFDBE,"The reason people seek mutiple advice, it can be different tips, some might seek other help, and may benefit you in certain ways for your personal life style.
FIrst taking tips frim other people may help you through out life and may help you learn a different style. For instance, when playing basketball you might have to take some tips from your coach. When on certain plays if your running the play and its not benfiting your team you can ask for a better way to make the play succesful. And may be a way you be able to become a pro at that style of coaching you have got taught.
Second another reason people talk to more than one person is cause you might learn a different way. For example like you might be asking visual person how to explain something and they can't cause they learn by someone showing, them how to do it and you learn by somebody telling you or explaining how to do that particular thing.
Or they might know have taken the course you took in high school or college or may be talented in that work of field, or sport, job etc.
Last but not least personal life style is very important for you at a young age to learn a little bit about the changes, you that he or she might go though and you may need to talk to your mom or dad about when it is the right time or bring it up if yall on that topic. Maybe be about how to find a good house and the connection to people that your parents know that help get an deal on your first car, furniture, clothes, bills, and other personal questions you might .
However the might be good reason and all but not all you will most people might know ho to do this teach they self and some of us are independent im not saying its bad to be dependent on some things but you don't people to use you get you in trouble or can get in some mess with the law.

2B46876E1BED,"Venus the ""Evening Star"" would be a worthy pursuit to study despite the many risks and challenges that come along. Venus has insights just waiting to be discovered, observed and samples to bring from the Earth. Exploring Venus does have it's challenges but should in fact limit us to explore the planet.
Humans exploring Venus should not be stopped by the challenges that our sister planet throws at us. The reason for this is because NASA is looking at how humans or Astronauts can stay on the planet without perishing to the harshest conditions Venus has. Instead, Nasa wants humans/astronauts to stay on the planet's atmosphere where it is the least hostile conditions the planet has to offer. In the article, paragraph 5 it states,""NASA's possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus would allow scientists to float above the roiling Venusian landscape. Just as our jets airplanes travel at a higher altitude to fly over many storms, a vehicle hovering over Venus would avoid the unfriendly ground conditions by staying up and out of their way."" Furthermore in the paragraph you would find that the atronauts will recieve Solar power. Another obstacle that was a problem in order how to get fuel.""Solar power would be plentiful..."" A solution like this helps the idea that exploring Venus to study will not stop human curiosity.
Another challenge that NASA has to find a solution for is what materals and technology to send to Venus for the astronauts to use. The temperature for the humans that will visit Venus will have to live in tempertures of 170 degrees Fahrenheit. This is a problem for common metals that are in mordern day technology.

NASA has simplified electronics devices and gadgetsout of silicon carbide. This can be found in paragraph 7 and states, "" For example, some simplified electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of Venus's surface and have lasted for three weeks in such conditions."" Another solution that NASA has come up with was the idea of using old technology that has to be used mechanically. Such devices from the 1800's and used frequently in World War II. These are used by levers and gears that make calculations and do not require electronics at all. This information can also be found in paragraph 7. It states,"" Another project is looking back to an old technology called mechanical computers. These devices were first envisioned in the 1800s and played an important role in the 1940s during World War II. The thought of computers existing in those days may sound shocking ,but these devices make calculations by using gears and levers and do not require electronics at all.

38EA1B4F88C8,"Phones and Driving
Technology has taken the world to new heights in numerous ways. The invention of cars being able to take us places quicker than a horse proved that anything could happen. Mobile phones grew just as popular and took over the world with their unfathomable functions, designs, and capabilities. The way that people are so heavily into their phones and the problem with not having good drivers on the road or when those are combined make driving a combo that no one wants to see.
The usage of phones should not be allowed while driving by any means necessary. Phones divert people's focus and show that we are easily engrossed in them, being sidetracked is one of the things that are not needed on the road. The distractions of phones cause people to bump into things from household to public and it shows that staring at a phone is too much for most humans to multitask.
If a phone is needed for directions, then it should be set before driving or placed upon a stand of some sort on the dashboard of the car so that looking down for a long period of time does not lead to danger. In addition, texting can be held off and can be answered by simply pulling over to check rather than be a hazard on the road by taking either one or two hands off of the steering wheel.
Using a phone while driving has caused many to be severely injured or has led to the death of the driver, passengers, the people in the other vehicle, and/or unsuspecting pedestrians. There is no justifiable reason for someone to use their phone, the lives of few or many can be affected by someone's foolish actions. Others should not have to pay the price of someone else's actions by suffering from serious injuries, losing someone they love, or even worse their life.
In summary, the temptation to use a phone while driving should be taken away by turning the phone upside down or turning the phone off until the destination is reached, a music playlist should already be made in advance so that skipping an unwanted song does not happen. Commercials and ads should be increased and tell the consequences in a slightly harsher way and to get people to truly understand how much people value their life just as much as they do theirs. Phones should be needed to connect to cars to turn the phone off or through that way people tell of the message that is received. All in all, people should just stop using their phones while driving and should just think about others around them.

74C44149CA38,"Learning would not occur if kids were told to do it themselves, whenever they wanted. The integration of online classes in school causes a detrimental decline in learning. The schedule and structure of school prepares students for college and their jobs after school. Students would not benefit from being able to attend classes from home because learning is most efficient in a classroom setting, social interactions are important, and more dropouts would occur due to online classes.
Looking at a computer screen for hours at a time can affect one's mental state and ability to comprehend new information. Learning is most efficient in a classroom setting where students can ask questions and collaborate with their peers. Students are able to discuss topics in group settings and get a deeper understanding of the material. In addition, students are more likely to keep up with their homework due to the encouragement of their peers, while online students often struggle do to the lack of motivation to get their work turned in on time. Classroom learning sets students up for success.
Online classes have a negative impact on the overall growth of students due to the lack of social interactions. Looking at a computer will not give kids the social skills they need in order to be successful. Having face-to-face conversations with their teacher, giving presentations in front of their whole class, and having group discussions are all things that online students miss out on. Those interactions lead to a greater understanding of the topics and students will remember giving a presentation rather than submitting a PowerPoint online. Social interactions are an important aspect in learning.
Online classes will lead to an increase in the number of dropouts. Students will take advantage of the freedom and flexibility of the courses and will not be motivated to get their work done. School provides a much needed structure for kids to learn in a controlled environment without outside factors getting in the way. There are too many external factors at home that can prevent students from learning to their full potential. Students will no longer be motivated to learn and ,therefore, more dropouts will occur.

While you are paying attention to the road your daughter or son may need your help with spilled drink, unlocking a device, or even a ""quick"" glance at them. You gave the automatic driving system your trust just for a few seconds, but in those few seconds anything can happen; an acciedent can occure while your back is turned. Now with this example the people should think twice before buying a driverless car.
Self driving cars seem to be ""the future"" for cars, though many people do not agree with self driving cars. There is one big variable for these types of cars such as public safety. The first priority for the driverless cars should be for public safety, can people actually count on the many sensors and cameras attached to a car? As of today nothing is perfect, just like the sensors and cameras, there will be some type of system error at a point in time. After the accident, as stated from paragraph 9, ""who is at fault-the driver or the manufacturer""? The first accident will cause the public to go againts the public and the company will lose its only consumer.
Cars that can drive on their own can be very exciting. Since 2009 Google has started a project of a driverless car. As stated on the second paragraph, ""Their cars have driven more than half a million miles without a crash..."" A big question comes along next to these big projects such as, what will the car do if it comes along an accident or a road construction? Google's answer to this is "" they still alert the driver to take over when pulling in and out of driveways or dealing with complicated traffic issues."" Driverless cars can do many things a normal car can't do.
The driverless car that Google had tested is just a single individual that was properly observed and was better taken care of. For the half million miles it had driven, consider the half million people that might drive these cars compared to one test. From one to half a million is half a million more risks that Google had invented. Even the company knows that a car is not a car without the driver. The driverless car still needs a driver so that the car an alert the driver when needed. Now what if the driver was not alerted fast enough or not alerted at all do to a malnfuntion? There are many flaws about the ""future cars"" that manufacturers can not control.
Now if the driver had just stopped at a rest stop or the side of the road to see what the child needed at the back of the car, the whole family would not have to risk their lives because of the driver trusting a computer for just a second.

I don't think you should change the school policy so students have to have a least a grade B average. I think this because a lot of kids who do sports might have a C and not a B. Also kids who don't have a grade B average might just drop out of the sport and not fix there grade and then they wont get any exercise. Exercise is very important so kids can stay healthy and live a healthy life. So as you can see sports are very important to kids and also sports keep kids in shape and motivative and it shows them how to work as a team. Although grades are important so are kids health.

AEDEB221139D,"Dear Principal,
I and the other students appreciate your reviewing of our school's cell phone polices, but I do not support allowing students to use cell phones during lunch and other free periods during the school day. Most students at our school do own a cell phone and carry it with them on an average school day. I do acknowledge that many students are in support of allowing cell phones to be permitted during certain times during school, but I strongly disagree.
There are several important reasons why cell phones are not allowed to be used during school. If the students are given the ability to use their phones at some parts of the day they will be tempted to use them all day.
If students know they will be allowed to use their phone during lunch and their free period, what stops them from using them in the classroom during crucial learning time for students? Suppose that during class students are texting and their cell phone's ring tone goes off while their teacher is teaching the class academic lesson.
Or Imagine students taking an important test in a classroom. A student can easily take their phone and send a text message of the answers to another student. It's that simple for students to do when a teacher steps away for a moment or turns around.
Put yourself in a gym locker room. When students are changing another student has the chance to take a photo of another student and post it somewhere on the internet.
I must stress that when the students attending school here know they will be allowed to have their phones turned on during parts of the day, there will be students who refuse to follow guidelines and rules for when the phones should be turned on and off. These problems created from allowing cell phones are an example of what could become a reality for our school.
I reassure you that prohibiting cell phones from being used in school is a rule that has been upheld with good reasoning and logic.

F17279F65DCE,"Have you ever encountered a dilemma that seemed unsolvable? Did you go to a trustworthy friend for advice and possible outcomes? I think seeking multiple opinions is a great way to properly handle a situation because you are able to see from others' perspectives, you will feel less stressed and you will be able to make the best decision.
First of all, asking for a variety of opinions will let you see from others' point of view. For example, let's say you are mad at someone and want to know what to do next. You could be irrationally mad at that person! A few months back, I was real hesitant about breaking up with someone I was dating. I did not know what was the right thing to do, so I asked my friends for help. It is not embarrassing to ask for help whatsoever! I was able to see what others thought of the relationship. You cannot always rely on your own opinions to fix a problem.
Second off, you will feel a lot less stressed. Before making a decision, any person can feel tense or nervous. Before I broke up with my partner, I felt extremely anxious. I didn't know if it would be the best decision to make or not. I thought about if it would be a huge mistake and if I would live to regret it, but after my friends helped me decide, I felt a lot more calm. I was able to think clearly! Receiving assistance from others can help you feel relaxed and ready to address the issue.
Lastly, when you receive multiple opinions from others it will help you make the best decision. After you gather up views from others and calm down, you will be able to make a good decision. When I was deciding whether or not to break up with my significant other, people were strongly hinting that it was the best option to choose. In the end, I broke up with them and I'm glad I made the decision I did. If I did not seek assistance from others, I would have been even more frusterated and stressed out handling that horrid relationship.
Overall, I think seeking multiple opinions is a brilliant idea because you are able to see from other people's perspectives, feel more relaxed and certain about a decision and, thus, make a great decision. After the break up, I felt very happy and I could not have done it without help from others.

38959CF98F8D,"Distance learning recently started being considered as a result of the outbreak of
COVID-19 or
Corona virus in the United States and the rest of the world. The pandemic could cause the closure of all
Generic_City schools, leading to distance learning where student get to stay home and study online; therefore, preventing the spread of the virus and protecting the students. Some schools in Generic_City in Virginia are closing Monday, March 16 giving time to staff to prepare to distance learning.
As a student, I personally endorse the use of distance learning, as it offers multiple benefits and advantages. Teachers can assign work to students online that can be later on turned in online as well, students have more freedom on managing their time and making their own schedule, instead of the imposed 7 to 2 school schedule. Staying home provides students comfort and privacy and dispose to everything they need and this could solve social anxiety in some students. It also allows students more sleep freedom as they are not required to wake up at 6 AM 5 days a week and be sleep deprived because of poor time management.
Some parents and teachers are against distance learning for various reasons: Teachers think that students are going to have a hard time studying at home by themselves, as they have to do the teaching and the learning at the same time without having a teacher to lecture by their sides. Teachers also think that a student needs to ask them questions in order for them to learn and that it is impossible to do so via distance learning.
I disagree with this because I think modern problems require modern solutions. With today's technology, everything is possible online, a solution to students not having someone to lecture them could be an online video conference with the teacher that is also at home, allowing the students to ask questions and interact directly with the teacher.
The opinion varies amongside of the parents however, some of them are unaware of the deadliness of the virus and think that their children should go to school regardless of the outbreak. In addition to that, parents think that their irresponsibility could cause them to fail the year; therefore, should not be allowed that much freedom.
That is not true because most of us are adults and responsible, and for those who have a history of being irresponsible, should be monitored by their parents at home to make sure they are working and doing their dues. Other more protective parents state that school enclosures should be enforced as soon as possible to limit infections of the deadly virus.

5782F64504B9,"Summer projects are a means by which schools are able to ensure that students are, in some way, continuing to persue an apprehension of knowledge and a greater understanding over the course of the summer. Schols assign students summer work to not only ensure that they continue to lern but to prepare them for the next step in their academic carrer. It is in the students best interest for their summer project to be designed by their teacher, wno inherintley has more knowledge and experience in diserning what is best for the them in their persuit of higher knowledge. Although many individuals believe that student designed summer projects are more beneficial to the development of a childs path towards gaining knowledge, teacher designed summer projects better surve in the childs best interest because teachers have the ability to tailor various summer projects in away that will prepare students for the next step in their academic career and, because of the inherent lazines of most students.
Teacher designed projects are more beneificial to a childs academic development because they have the ability to tailor projects in a way that will prepare students for the next step in their academic career. Teachers posses the unique ability and experience that provides them with the ability to introduce concepts to students through summer projects that they will need to be familiar with for their future classes. For example, in the summer prior to my sophmore year I was told to write a research paper on John Locke. This research paper introduced me to a person I had never heard of before which inturn better prepred me for my Humane letters class which discussed a variety of his ideas.
Without this teacher assigned project, I would have never received any form of introduction to this vital aspect of my class. Teachers also have the ability and knowledge to reintroduce both review and preequasite work that many students neglect to remeber as they enter in the next stage of their academic development. Before entering honors calculus, my algebra II/Trig teacher provided us with a packet that included all o the prerequasite concepts we would need to be familiar with to be successful in the class. I had forgotten many of the concepts that would be neccesary to pass the class, but, with the help of my teacher, over the summer I was able to become prepared which enabled me to be sccessful in the class. Through prepration, the learning process becaomes much less daunting and much more managable.
Teacher desinged summer projects are more benificial to a student learning because students are inherently lazy. Many students fail to realize the value of knowledge and instead, only seek short term staisfaction. Many students would rather watch tv then attempt to learn something new. Thus, many students when given the oppurtunity to desighn their own summer projects, will pick something that is inherently simplicitic and quick to complete. Often, what students fail to realize is that when something is inherently simplistic and easy to complete their is often litte to be gained from its complesion. Many students, myself included, often spend hours a day on social media looking at images or videos which are inherintly meaningless. Rather than reading a book or learning something new, we indulge ourselves, and seek out short term satisfaction. However, when a student is assigned a summer project designed by a teacher, they are forced to work hard to complete an assignment which is often desighned to challenge them. As an artist, when I am given specific peramideters and deadlness concerning a new project I am much more modivated to complete my work in a timely manner. This greatly parallels my behavior concerning my self assigned work which I often put off completing. Teacher designed projects force us to push past our limits which inturn forces us to think in creative ways ad learn something new. Teacher designed projects motivate students to achieve a greater undestanding.
Although many individuals believe that compared to teacher designed work, student designed work allows students to have more freedom regarding their own learning and eduation, this is untrue. Student designed projects only give student freedom to learn about certain subjects to a point. Students are limited by their resources and overall, often only attempt to learn about something through the means of the internet. Teachers however, have sent years studying the subjects within their perspective feilds and often have decades of experience and resources at their disposal. Students simply lack the means to be able to guide their own education and acquisition of konwledge. Teachers on the other hand, can provide support and resources when designing various projects that a student wouldnt have acess to
Overall teacher designed summer projects are more beneficial to a students growth and devlopment over the course of the summer.

CFBCF638F69D,"Summer is the time of the year most people enjoy. Students usually enjoy this time the most. However, there is one thing that can completely ruin it. Summer projects, something most kids would cry if they heard they had to do them. Most students show hatred towards them because it takes away from their favorite time of the year, summer! Most students forget or just chose not to complete them. Summer projects were created to keep students learning during long breaks. Teacher's usually assign these students topics. However, I believe if you give students the responsibility of choosing their own projects they would strive to complete them and mature mentally as young adults should. Student-designed projects see more completion, interest, and improvement than the average assignment. I, as a student, would want control over my project. I typically do not do as well with teacher topics as well as some of my other fellow students.
When teachers design their summer projects they use topics that fit into the lesson plan or that interest them personally. This is not fair to the student. If a student received a topic that they hated they would, more than likely, fail that project. There are a lot students who would toughen up and do the project, but most students are not like that. They will put in minimal effort towards the project just enough to pass if that. This effects grades and does not show a students true ability to perform outside the learning environment.
Humans grow in controlled situations. We as the students should be given that opportunity to grow by controlling our project. If students chose their own topics there would show a lot more effort in completion of the project. This improves the want to learn, has a better effect on grades, and learning mentality improves tremendously. Students would take more time for better results and show select skills taught by teachers, which is what teachers want to see.
I believe student-designed is the way to go. Giving us the power also gives us motivation to do it. I strive when I can do research on things I like or have a slight interest in. It is a completely different experience when you can learn about what you want to versus being in a classroom forced to learn about boring topics. For example, the American Revolution or chemical equations. By giving us topics were at an automatic disadvantage with a 32% higher chance of failure.
In other words, students have better performance with self-liked topics. Teacher-designs typically get less attention and a lot more failures from students. Finally, if you want better results from your students give them a little power every now and then.

Our votes do not count and we are no longer in control. ""Most states have a winner take all system that awards all electors to the winning presidential candidate."" (The Office Of The Florida Register, paragraph 7) Therefore no matter who wants what iif that is what the electoral college decides thats what goes, And many americans are getting tired of doing pointless voiting if it doesnt even matter. ""Given that many voters vote one party for president and another for congress, the house selection can hardly be excpected to reflect the will of the people."" (Plumer, paragraph 12) Yes, The electoral college might be voting for what they think is best for us, but whats best for us might not be want we want, it might not be what we think is best for us why does are vote no longer count? ""But each party selects a slate of electors trusted to vote for the partys nominee - and that trust is rarely betrayed ... [; however,] is is entirely possible that the winner of the elctoral vote will not win the national popular vote"" ( Posner, paragraph 16)
Our votes are just a back up plan and we are not important. ""The electoral college avoids the problem of elections in which no candidate recieves a majority of the votes cast."" (Posner, paragraph 22) If the eclectoral college leads to a tie our votes become the tie braker but that method has never been use so why are we even voting? "" It is the electors whyo elect the president, not the people."" (Posner, paragraph 15) Because the electoral college is voting for which ""package"" they think is best they believe that our opinions are unimportant and they know what is best beyond what we believe. ""Under the electoral college system, voters vote not for the president, but for the slate of elecetors, who in turn elect the president."" (Plumer, paragrph10) Our votes are just a second optiion and is not resonible and fair to each and every american who truly believe that they can make a diffrenece when they truly cant because they are an ""extra.""
All in all the electoral college should not be kept. Most americans now believe that we are not important and voting is just a waste of time which is currently true and fighting againt the truth is not going anywhere.

B5235448CF1F,"People think about today's world as the era of technology; constantly advancing and creating new ideas beneficial to us all. But are they really benefiting all of us? That's where the car comes in. Automobiles are one of the highest polluting machines out there. People are constantly worrying about greenhouse gas emissions while they use their cars consistently. Now, when us stubborn Americans try to imagine a life without cars, we immediately oppose the idea. But can you blame us? Society has been built upon the idea of cars since World War II. Cities are so widely spread out that the mear thought of walking or biking to the nearest shopping mall makes you appreciate your car even more. It could take a matter of time before any civilization modernizes into a car-free society.
But people must realize what the real matter here is; less driving equals a healthier planet. Think all of how much less pollution would be around if people did not use their cars so religiously. Our earth is sacred. If we continue to destroy it with fossil fuels and car exhaust, there will not be anything left for generations to come.
Not only would the environment improve drastically, but people would also save money from not having to buy gas! If you pay $3.50 for a gallon of gas, that can add up extremely quick. Imagine all the alternatives you could use that money for instead of gas. Why pay for oil when you can simply ride a bike for free? Biking and walking rather than driving is much healthier for your physical state as well. Altogether, people will be much happier and at a better state of mind with cars banished from every day life.
As you see in cities such as Seattle, Washington for example; hardly anyone owns a car. The people have revolutionized into using the trains. The subways create less smog, more efficient car pooling, and will still get you to your destination in a blink of an eye. Seattle is a booming city, teaming with life. If that is not proof of sufficient life without cars, then I do not know what is.
Humans' lives revolve around automobiles. Just think about your average day. I can gurantee you spend a good amount of time driving hastily around town trying to get to your many destinations. This can be stressful. As stated in one of the articles above, a media trainer and mother of two who resides in Vauban, Germany, a car-free city, said, ""When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way."" Nobody wants to spend their evenings in their car while they could be spending quality time with their family, but that seems to be the way everyone lives nowadays.
A car-free world is the ideal society us as people should strive for. There are extinential benefits to life without automobiles and many downfalls to life with automobiles. If people can all stand together on the idea of a better way of life, then why not try it?

71681FC0F7CF,"Cell phones are one of the biggest new technologies, and a great way to communicate. From your phone you can access your email, make calls to people around the world or send a simple text message. You can also download music, and play games. But still the question is. Should kids be allowed to use them during school?
Yes, I believe that kids should be allowed to use their phones during lunch, or whatever free time they have. During class, not so much. If that was the case, kids would be cheating on homework, assignments and tests. Also, the kids would not be as focused on their schoolwork as they should be. But, during free time they should be allowed to have them. For example. Lets say that a kid has a basketball game after school and when he gets to school, he finds out he left his shoes at home. During the next free time or lunch he could make an urgent call to his mom or dad so he could get them before the game starts.
Also, kids need social time. It's what they do. Socialize. Some kids maybe have friends from other cities, or towns. Cell phones are a great way to talk to your friends if you don't see them on a daily basis. Lastly, students need to use cell phones. It's part of our lives here in the twenty-first century.

E1C9EA19B1E7,"Countries and cities all across the world are joining in on the ""no car"" trend, and it seems to be no passing fad. From Germany, to France, to Columbia, to the United States, everybody is trying to start drving less for a cleaner, happier world. Countries' governments everywhere are trying to get people off the roads and start biking, walking, or using public transportation instead. As the people in these countries have learned, there are many advantages to giving up drving cars, if even only for a few days rather than their entire lives.
The main advantage is a cleaner planet. Emissions that cars release play a large role in the world's air pollution. Carbon emissions create smog that makes the sky grey, damages our lungs, and harms the plants that give us clean air. Due to carbon emissions from cars, Paris once had as much smog as ""Beijjing, China, which is known as one of the most polluted cities in the world"" (Source 2). If we start driving less cars it will have really beneficial implications for the environment, especially ""... since transportation is the second largest source of America's emissions, just behind power plants"" (Source 4). Imagine what positive effects banning cars would have on the population's and world's health.
One positive effect would be a lot less stress. Driving is a dangerous activity where you are constantly putting yourself at risk. Many people realize this and tend to be scared of driving or are constantly nervous when they drive. Rushing to drive to work on time also creates negative stress. Says German media trainer and mother, Heidrun Walter, of no longer owning a car, ""When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way."" Daily long commutes are also a large determining factor in someone's mood. Some people have to drive for hours a day just to get to their already stressful job and then again when they go back home. This creates for a very unhappy society. Now there are a couple of good things that come from a society that is no longer obsessed with car culture. One thing is that ""the Internet makes telecommuting possible and allows people to feel more connected without driving to meet friends"" (Source 4). This lessens the need have a car to take you to distant places. With the banning or lessening use of personal vehicles cities and towns are being rebuilt. ""In this new approach, stores are placed a walk away, on a main street, rather than in malls along some distant highway"" (Source 1). This has encouraged healthier and cheaper modes of transportation such as walking, skating, bicycling, and public transportation such as buses.
Fewer cars and this rebuilding of cities saves you money and commute time. Just think about all those rising gas prices. You don't need to pay tolls when you walk, or get fined when you run too fast. Prices for parking spots and passing tolls are going up anyway. It's an easier and cheaper alternative to just walk or bike somewhere. Public transportation like buses and subways cost a lot less too. Studies have found that fewer people are buying cars and getting their licenses; it's for a reason.
Lastly, not only are leaders across the globe joining in on the idea of life without cars, but so are car-selling companies. ""Companies like Ford and Mercedes are already rebranding themeselves ""mobility"" companies with a broader product range beyond the personal vehicle"" (Source 4). Even Bill Ford, executive chariman of the Ford Motor Company proposed a business plan in which ""personal vehicle ownership is impractical or undesirable."" Ford suggested becoming partners with the telecommunications industry to create cities in which ""pedestrian, bicycle, private cars, commercial and public transportation traffic are woven into a connected network to save time, conserve resources, lower emissions and improve safety"" (Source 4).
So next time you think about buying a new car or driving to work all buy yourself, try to rethink your actions and imagine the effect it will have on not only you, but everyone around you. Maybe you can bike to work if it's not that far, take the bus instead, carpool with some coworkers. The planet and future generations will thank you if you just limit your car usage, even a little bit at a time.

146440EF28B8,"Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home. I agree with this statement because of multiples of reasons why. One of them is what if the kid is sick. Or another reason would be is hat that child is getting bullied by other kid and he can't take the stress of it. The last reason is that the school has the program to help kids who are bad at socializing with the other kids. The reason why I think the kids that are staying at home maybe will shock you.
Well it is kind of a no brainier that some of those kid are sick and don't go to the school. So that they don't make any other kids sick of grossed out by them. I know that seems like mean way of saying it but it is true. At least kids now of days have more compassion with them than make fun of them. But there is some who will make fun kids for no reason at all.
Yes there are kids who get bulled so much that they have to leave the school so that they can have good education. I know why those kid had to leave because I was one of those kids who had to leave. The teacher the students just did not like for some reason It might just be me but I know this much, that the kids did not like me and is fine if they think that way I will live. But others who live at home and do school work all the time he/she will probably never make new friends, see new things, over come challenges,etc.
O the the last reason why some kids want this type of program is socializing.
I know I know you might say ""but a lot of kids love socializing that their thing"". But have try to really socialize with someone face to face. Most of kids now are own phone or computers talking to people online but not face to face. I think thats why kid and young adults have trouble in the real world. But think with time and effort that can change. But for now we have to deal with bunch of kids who has never seen the light of day.
So in the end I agree to a limited stander. I think that these kids need to have this program. The other part of me says don't it will make them soft and I know am right.

I think this is a good idea or way for kids to express themselves. Here are some reasons why I agree with being apart of the activities.
One thing you can do is work on the yearbook. You can also open up and help motivate others. Participating in something helps with many skills such as, communication and working with others. The yearbook could even have anonymous writers, if you want to say something and don't want everyone knowing who said it. Also taking photos of other activities around the school would even be great.
Another extracurricular activity you could do is serving as student council. If you want to see changes in somethings you can step up and work as a council to make a difference. You could also get groups to hang up motivational quotes around the school. Sometimes, even having funds to raise money for the school would be a helpful idea.
You can also play sports to participate in an activity. Playing sports gives you the time for you make new friends, do what you love, and even hang with your bestie. Finding a sport you like can be hard but giving it your all is the best you can do. You can even get scholarships to colleges.

09C8F49982B9,"Research has shown that exercising does help you live longer. However what if you were forced to do a sport or something after school that is not a sport? Me personally I disagree, but I am going to talk about my opinions on why right now.
People shouldn't have to do anything after school if they don't want to. Staying after school is a opportunity to have fun and see some of your friends. Therefore if it was forced it would defiantly not be as much fun because you wouldn't want to do it. Nobody should be forced to do something if they don't want to.
There are other things people want or have to do sometimes instead of staying after school everyday. It would take away some of the fun. For instance what if someone wants to go out of town but they can't because they have to stay after school. Additionally people have other things to do outside of school, things like ballet, basketball for someplace else, maybe any sport, etc.. If they did then they would be burned out like a fire in the rain.
Having homework and having to stay after everyday would be terrible. With having to stay after school also comes homework. We at least have one thing to do everyday, sometimes more. With that being said some after school activities last 2:30-4:00 or 2:30-6:30. Homework usually takes 20 minutes tops depending on what it is, but when you have 2 or 3 things to do you can't go to bed until late. Also studying can be hard with an after school activity because that really takes a long time. Additionally, you still have to shower and do things to prepare for the next day which makes you go to bed even later when you have to wake up at 5:30-6:30AM. Only that is whole different subject for a while different time.
Staying after school is fun but if you were forced it would change everything. People stay after because they want to, not because they are forced too.

I sometimes think many people are aganist electoral college because the way it seperates the votes and only half will be required to go to the election and be seen.

It includes 538 electors, with a majority of 270 needed for election. States have electors equal to their Congressional representation, and the District of Columbia is treated as a state with 3 electors. Electors, typically selected by political parties, vote in December after the general election, where voters choose preferred electors.

75E49A04250D,"There are many advantages and many disadvantages of limiting car usage. Car usage may not be entirely good or bad but we do it anyways. In ""In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars"" by Elisabeth Rosenthal it speaks of how in Germany life continues to stay without cars being around. In ""Paris band driving due to smog"" by Robert Duffer he speaks of how paris has limits on not to drive during the smog because it can cause damage and can crucially effect many people in Paris themselves. In ""Car-free day is spining into a big hit in Bogota"" by Andrew Selsky, he speaks of Columbia rules and regualations and car information. These passages provide valid information of how the car expectation rules and regulations in areas succeed.
When you hear Germany you think of a place where everyone doesn't want to be, but were not hear to talk about that. In Vauban Germany street parking, driveway parking and home garages are generally forbidden in this new distrcit on the outskirts of Freiburg. In fact, 70% of Vauban's families do not own cars, and 57% sold a car to move there in the first place. Automobiles are the linchpin of surburbs,or middle-class families from Chicago to Shanghai tend to make their homes, which is a huge impediment to current efforts to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions from tailpipes. There has been efforts in the past two decades to make cities denser and better for walking because there is only 5,500 residents within a rectangular mile in Vauban. Overall they are trying to improve the growth of Vauban vehicles to run normally.
Paris the place we know as a symbol of the eiffel tower is great of course but not when there is smog around. Paris enforced a partial diving ban to clear the air of the global city. Almost a good 4,000 drivers and motorists were fined because they were caught driving in the smog so they were fined with a 22-euro or $31 dollar fine for doing so. As time ticked in Paris, cold nights and warm subtle days caused the warm layer of air to trap car emissions so they're was no point in driving anyways. No worries because Paris typically has more smog than other European capitals. A few days later the smog cleared up and people were able to drive without being ticketed or givin a fine, everything went back to normal and were no troubles.
Ever think of having a day where nobdy was allowed to use a car that day? In Bogota Columbia there is a ""program"" where nobody is allowed to use a car but they can hike, walk, skate, take buses but not use a car in any form. It was the third straight year in Bogota where cars were banned from the streets but only buses were permitted for good transportation. They do this because they want to try and stop pollution because they think there is to much pollution in the air (which their is) so they can help prevent it early on in so the air wouldn't be bad air. As a small effect of not doing this 'program' gray clouds dumped heavily amounts of rain showers on Bogota. This is a good leading cause to society and air pollution because parks and sport centers have been hit on the market as top rated because people chose to choose the safe route and do themselves a better duty.
Overall these rules and regulations between the areas is a very good help for our Earth and keeps it safe. The more people that not use cars and drive on smog days will lessen the amount of air pollution in our air. There has been many campaigns to whether or not to keep this system running in some parts of the world and many representatives do take this in to consideration and learn. Soon we hope for a vast majority of the world to be taking these world problem in a more mature manner and save many people that will born in the bear future to have less air pollution hurting innocent people.

I believe we should help are community, why? because for many colleges it requires that a student has help their community. A good reason why its a good idea to help is taking care of our community will not only help with working together but making people happy as well. A good idea for who are against you should have a contest for each class. Who ever has helped the most, that class would get a special prize like a free trip for each student family and teacher. This would encourage students because most students like rewards for their hard work.
Another reason why helping people around our community will be good is it will let out our school be noticed. Parents would be proud of their kids and people in are community would be honored to have a school like ours in the community. A environment like that would wonderful for our school. It could also lead to more students joining the school too.
When we help people, in return they help back. Just helping people could also lead to more wonderful things.

81B3D4471958,"While I was growing up, my father taught me many things that would help me in the future. Some of the teachings are warnings that would distract me and would not find my way back to the way I was before. This is caused by drugs, pornography, murder, stealing, and etc. But the point is, one of the teachings was to put my priorities straight. He said if you do not put your priorities straight then you will have an unsuccessful future. That has been one of my goals, and that is to be sure I have a plan to know what I will be doing in the future.
One of my priorities is school. While I was growing up, I was taught to work hard for school so that I may have a successful career. I was taught to be sure to have straight A' s and not get into trouble. I was very fond of school and addicted to school until I had learned of a new hobby that I desired. That was sports. I have learned over the years that sports are distracting. The school year was combined with football. I started to nudge football as my number one priority. Therefore, my grades dropped and I was miserable. I tried everything to get back on track but my coach was always there to make sure that my athletic ability would never be lost because he needed me on the team I played for.
My parents were worried about sports how it intervened with school. So they began to make sure I would put extra hard work for school. I did everything to get back on track. Ever since I was in junior high, I have never earned a four point 0 in my GPA because of sports. But now I am losing the desire of sports because of my focus on education. I am earning better grades than I did before and I believe that this hard work will help me to receive a triumphant career.
My point is that sport players should set their priorities straight. Education should come before sports. Some people believe that if you are athletic enough to go to professional. Yes, but what if an injury occurs that could affect you whole career. Now what do you do. If your priority was a sport than education and you are not able to go back to sport then you must return back to school. You will regret it over the future. I have a brother who went to Kansas to do sales. He earned large sums of money because of his success. My father did not see this as a smart idea. He made sure that my brother would realize that his education in college was still important. He did not want my brother to rely on making money by doing sales. My father said that if troubled times come and are unemployed then you will regret the day you turned away from your education.
Yes, I do believe that you must have a B-average to play a sport. Set your priorities straight and take precaution of your education. Education is very helpful these days in America. America's economy is failing and unemployment is sky rocketing. The only thing you can turn to is your education. You need money to support your family or see your family fall apart.

Venus is very much alike our planet earth Astronomers think that long ago Venus was covered in oceans and could have supported life. Venus also has many planet like structures for example valleys, mountains, craters, and much more. In pragraph 4 it says ""Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like earth today... The planet has a surface of rocky sedimemt and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters."" That shows how Earth and Venus are so much alike.
Even though Venus is so much alike Earth it is way more dangerous. For example Venus temperature is way hotter than our temperature becaus it is closer to the sun and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we are used to.

31BDD33875A4,"Dear principal,
I think students should be required to perform community service because it will help our community grow and prosper . We may not know it, but when we do thing's that harm our environment, it harms people and animals physically and emotionally, and we need those thing's to survive.
For example, we get things from our environments such as animals to eat, water to drink, air from plants to breath, and wood to build things. So if the people who work in the factories cant breath, how are they going to package the meat, vegetables, fruit, and grains that we need to survive? If the animals cant drink water due to it being polluted, how are we going to get those animals to eat?
What about education? Humans aren't born with the ability to talk, write, or read. We need to learn these things step by step. Education is one of the things that u will need especially to live out in the free world when you become an adult. People nowadays want all of these fancy new cars, and the big house, and the cute girl. Well question is how are you going to get the cute girl, or the big fancy house, and the nice cars without any education? Girls don't want a person who isn't smart. Big houses and fancy cars cost money. Without education who's going to hire you? McDonald's? That's where you are going to end up if your education isn't right.

Imagine bein a student you have homework, chores and if you have little siblings you might have to watch them. Your stressed, overworked and pressured to do better. It is time comsuming and you have little relaxation now with this new rule you have even more to do. Your being forced to take up a club. Keeping that in mind do you really think its good to force student to take up a club with all of their prexisting responsibillitys? If your not convinced think aout what kind of clubs you have. Do you think each student, each indivdual will like your limted choces?
Students have countless tasks with homework, chores and taking care of siblings. Students do not get much time for themselves. With so little time to relax they become overworked and stressed which is bad for productivity taking up a club gives them even less time to relax. Student grades can and probibly will sufer with this kind of change.
Although many schools have all sorts of diffrent clubs with such a wide and diverse student population it can be hard to please them all. No doubt you will have students whos intrests do not line up with the clubs you have makeing them to join a club they dislike insted. Imagine all of your clubs are sports related with socer, baseball, football, basketball, track, ect and you have a student who hates sports you can not make an exeption to the rule so what do you do? The only choice there can be is to make the student take up something they hate which can cause acting out from the student as they try to get out of the club.
Now some may argue saying schools have enough clubs to satisfy everyone. This may be true but I would imagine you have over one hundred students or even with just one hunded students you would be pushing the limit of how many students one techer can watch not to mention the teacher dose not get paid to watch students after school. They may also have children of their own they need to take care of. Another posible arguement is that a club builds confidence and I would agree but students could very well dislike being told to do an activity and if they dislike it alredy it will not end well.
Clubs are fun and enriching but should never be forced onto someone. Now I have given my side I pose the qusetion to you, do you still think its a good idea to force a club on students?

BFF614D2073D,"Do you ever want to participate in something, but you do not know what? Try an extracurricular activity! There are many positive benefits to participating in extracurricular activities. I think students should participate in at least one, if not more. Taking part in these activities can keep students away from technology, keep them mentally, and physically active and healthy, and help them become better people.
First, participating in outdoor activities can keep students away from technology. When they are not focusing on screens, they can go and enjoy the outdoors and get fresh air. Also, being outside students can help the environment, and be not polluting the air with technology. Technology can have a bad influence on people and can encourage students to make bad decisions. Staring at screens has many negative effects on people, so it is good for them to have different, positive things to focus on.
Second, staying physically, and mentally active will keep students healthy. When staying at home, people will usually choose to watch television, which is not good for the brain, especially in young students. Activities that involve physical activity will keep you fit, and keep you from becoming overweight. It is good for your mental health to think about positive and productive things. Staying busy with extracurricular activities is good for your mental, and physical health.
Lastly, being on a team, or interacting with others can help you become a better person. You can help someone when they are in need, or they are hurt. You can show others, and they can show you the right thing to do, and help each other not make bad decisions. When on a team, you can be nice to someone if they need a friend, or are getting bullied. When participating in an activity with others, you can learn how to be a better person.

1C13CBFCF87F,"""Advice leads to experience, experience leads to success."" When seeking advice, have you ever received bad advice?
Bad advice can put yourself in unsavory situations which is why you should always have advice from multiple people. Seeking multiple opinions can help someone make a better choice by providing different perspectives of that decision as well as including insight on experiences that they have gone through that are either the same of similar.
Different perspectives from people can lead to better decisions made.
Everyone has a different background which can include their ethnicity, economic standing, political viewpoints, religion, social structure, profession and so forth.
For example, my mother is a full Korean, democratic person who is a teacher that believes in free health care.
However, my father is a Caucasian, republican person that works at a government job that believes in the complete opposite.
This in turn makes everyone especially unique and different when it comes to viewpoints and perspectives.
When facing a choice, seek different people to get a variety of answers as this can help you discover different possibilities and consequences of your actions.
Furthermore, different perspectives can also leave you with different choices than before.
To summarize, Different perspectives can change someone's decision for the better and lead to less negative effects.
Everyone has faced experiences and problems before in their life.
The more diverse people around you, the more different experiences they have faced and overcame throughout their lives.
Everyone can provide you with insight on the experiences they faced that could be similar or the same as yours.
For example, my father got caught cheating on a test he was taking, but he lied about the cheating to the teacher.
When the truth came out that he lied, the consequences were severe.
This in turn helped my father realize that its better to be honest than to lie at all, which is what he told me when I was caught with little integrity.
In short, experiences that everyone face can lead to more variety in choices.
In summary, the culmination of ideas leads to a more detailed and effective response or choice that can have less negative effects and more positive changes.

I believe the policy with phones not being at school should be required. Students can get mad all they want to , if you see a phone at school you should take it don't give them another chance , because the students should know that the phones shouldn't be brought to school anyways. My belief on bringing phones are no because , you come to school to learn not text or call some one everyone needs their education and if you don't want it , well it is someone out their that wants it ; so don't stop someone from getting their education because you want to be selfish. Back in the day, people had to sneak around just to get their education , today they are offering it to you, and you let it go. People don't have to take time out their day just to help you learn. A lot of people think that's cute now you will not think it's cute when it is going to be hard to get a job or to get into college. I understand people wont to talk to their friends, and gossip , but give it a brake. If you bring your cellular device to school, then you would be worried about your phone so much you wouldn't be able to focus or pay attention.

merica itself is going down the drain,and its going down hard. Gas prices going up,the rise of obesity,and with Ninety precent of Americans staying home and watching T.V. instead of going outside and taking a nice walk. As an American it sounds crazy that somebody would get rid of their car,borderline insanity. However,in their cases they were justified to do so. To pay for a large garage on your new home which already cost you all that money you were saving is just not right. That's why these very few people have decided to throw away their keys and pick up a pair of sneakers in order to combat the extreme amount of prices,all for a piece of luxury we bought when we were sixteen.
I f there is a place to start this off price is the best option. As I said before the prices that come along after you had the car are rediculous. All the taxes,insurance,not to mention if you want a house with a garage it cost you at-least forty thousand dollars along with your new home,as said in paragraph two. If you walk up to a person and spell this out to them they'd might say something like ""Well its a necessity to get around and another stepping stone in life"" saying this now,its not. I can make a choice and to whoever is reading this you look at this and ask yourself,maybe I don't need this junky Sedan to get around I have two legs and feet to get around. There's my question for you,would you rather pay lets say Twenty thousand on a New or Used car,or would you rather pay Twenty maybe even Ten dollars for a pair of new sneakers/running shoes. Take your time and think it out. While you do that,I'm going to go to my second option.
S
o lets move onto the cars themselves. A car in America is the basic standing point for which people get around. Aside from those with Motorcycles,Skateboards,Bicycles and Roller skates. Remember when you just got your lisence and you went with your parents to pick out your first car? Chances are,it was junky used pile of garbage,if not then congratulations on the new and expensive Dodge Camero. What are you gonna do first? Go out and hang with your friends? Nope! You're going to Allstate to pay for insurance,then making sure you have to pay every payment on your car so that it doesn't get Repoed,you might end up getting a second job,which leaves you zero time to yourself or to hang out with your friends. All because you wanted that shinney new car,or the used up hunk of scrap. Heck if you get a used car,chances are you're going to have to put in some work time to replace the parts and fix it up to make it look nice,making your money situation even harder. Not to mention the polution that they give off,not wanting to be the hippie in this situation but its true.
Paris itself enforced a partial ban on driving to clean up the smog that surrounded the French tourist hotspot ,as shown through paragraph Ten through Nineteen. I feel like I've made my point here,and now to close this up with my final paragraph.
T
o shut down this whole car talk,I'm going to give you an image of what it would be like to get rid of your car,if you're still reading this that is. Imagine that you finally tore apart you insurance bill because some kid chucked a rock through your window and burnt your 'Notice of Reposetion' on your car. Then you go back to the dealer and hand your keys and say ""Keep the car,I don't need it anymore."" as you then walk towards the nearest shoe store and pick yourself out a nice and comfortable pair of sneakers,and even get yourself a brand new bike. Now you can focus on keeping your house/apartment payments up,and whats this? You're getting thinner? More healthy? Its almost as like choosing to get rid of your car put your life on track to a healthier life style. Now you're walking to work with your amazing sneakers,and brand new pair of Six pack abs,good for you!
I think I've made my point clear. A car maybe great,but its not something we need to survive. To go on myself,I like to see what life has in store for me,and a car would make me miss out of that by driving by too quickly. In short drop the keys and take a hike,literally.

A7431EE1E25B,"The author does not support the idea that studyng Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents because he or she provides no explanation of facts stated and creates conflicting ideas that cast a grim shadow on travel to Venus.
First, the author doesn't support the idea effectively because he or she presents facts without explaining the significance or importance of them.
While describing why scientists consider visits to venus, the author states ""Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in out solar system...The value of returning to Venus seems indisputable""(4).
By presenting that scientists want to visit Venus then almost immediately jumping to the weak conclusion that the ""value of returning to Venus seems indisputable"", the author fails to explain why the scientists want to visit Venus and why those reasons are important or significant.
Without an explanation of facts, writers leave the reader to create conclusions in their own minds, possibly without a complete understanding, weakening the authors support of his or her own claim or idea.
Second, the author doesn't support the idea effectively because he or she creates the picture in the reader's mind that successful and worthwhile travel to Venus is nearly impossible and certainly not attainable with today's technology.
While writing on what would be necessary for travel and observation of Venus, the author states ""a vehicle hovering over Venus would avoid the unfriendly ground conditions...[and be] survivable for humans.
However, peering at Venus from a ship orbiting or hovering safely far above the planet can provide only limited insight on ground conditions...[Also,] standard forms of photography...[would be] innefective...Therefore, sciendtists seeking to...understand Venus would need to get up close and personal despite the risks""(5).
By stating that ""a vehicle hovering over Venus"" would be safe for humans and then directly stating that it would not be enough and that scientists who want useful information would have to ""get up close and personal despite the risks"", the author states conflicting ideas.
In addition, earlier in the passage the author states ""On the planet's surgace, temperatures average over 800 degrees""(3).
This creates another serious flaw in the author's idea, because the conditions stated are not even close to survivable.
Combining the evidence presented by the author would point to the conclusion that astronomers would need to be using vehicles and photography equipment that currently don't exist and, even with unavailable technology, they must be willing to die to travel to Venus for study.
This creates the idea in the reader's head that studying Venus is impossible, which greatly weakens the author's claim.

E16FF3DF1166,"Once the school year ends, students have a large break to look forward to: summer. These hard-worked students have time to unwind, relieve stress, and spend time with their loved ones. However, it is also imperative that students do some sort of school-related work in order to prevent the ""summer slide,"" a loss of knowledge over the summer break if no schoolwork or unhelpful work is done. A question then arises: ""Should these assignments be designed by the students or by the teachers?"" Both sides have some very compelling supports to them, but one stands out above the other. Summer assignments should be designed by teachers because of the insurance that the students will have enough work to prevent summer slide, the easier access to studies to show the best options for assignments, and the fact that teacher-designed summer assignments are more traditional than student-designed work.
These may seem like some very strong points to support this side, but some people show aversion to teacher-designed assignments. This opposing side's main point is that students will know what students need and want to learn over the summer. While this may seem like a logical statement, teacher-designed assignments are just as student-centric as student-designed assignments. Many students enjoy the current trend of reading assignments over the summer, which is a teacher-designed assignment. Other assignments, such as mathematics problems or science-based work, are equally enjoyable, if not more so. For example, these science-based assignments often cover topics that have been shown to deeply interest students, such as observing aspects of nature for certain biology classes. Because of this student enjoyment, teacher-designed assignments are as good or more so than student-designed assignments, which proves the previous argument about students knowing what other students enjoy as misled.
Summer assignments should be designed by teachers because they ensure that students will have enough work for summer slide to not affect them. If these assignments are student-designed, they may not have enough work involved to prevent knowledge from leaking during the summer break. This is because students may feel sympathetic towards others and selfish towards themselves, thereby not giving enough or any work in order to only relax over the summer, not having to worry about any upcoming work. It may sound like a good idea to simply let students unwind without work, but summer slide is a serious problem, with many students over the course of the summer losing key facts that play a large role towards their future classes. One student, for example, failed to do any math-related assignments over a summer break. When he returned, he reported that he did not know many of the concepts required to do most of the work in his higher math class, even though these concepts were taught in the previous year. A teacher-designed assignment that keeps these concepts fresh in the mind would prevent this from happening, and they often do prevent this. They do this by using the next supporting point: easy access to studies that show the best assignments.
Teacher-designed assignments are superior to student-designed work because teachers have easy access to studies that show which assignments work to stop summer slide, and which ones do not. While many of these studies could be found via a quick internet search, teachers have entire volumes of these studies to look over, many of which cannot be accessed from the internet. When asked, one teacher stated, ""Most of the work that we assign to students, whether it be over the school year or over the summer, has come from years and years of seeing what works and what doesn't, along with some testing to ensure that what we think works does in fact work. Right now, we have a pretty good understanding of what does."" As stated, the testing (studies) has shown that modern teacher-designed assignments work to prevent summer slide. Student-designed assignments, on the other hand, do not have such access to these tests or these studies, so they may not know what will work and what will not. Another factor to consider when toying with the idea of student-led work is that, for the most part, people (and schools) are fairly averted to change.
Teacher-designed work should stay the norm for summer assignments because they are the norm, and many public bodies show aversion to change. This aversion mainly stems from the uncertainty about student work, as supported by the last two points supporting teacher-designed assignments. When performed, studies showed that much of the staff and students at schools preferred teacher-designed assignments due to their tried-and-true formula. Like the previous point, students may not know what to do for these assignments, while teachers have proven that they do know what to do. This aversion to change is also shown in other parts of school, such as the argued subject of changing paper-based learning to online-based learning. This subject has plenty of essays covering it on its own, but does show that people don't enjoy changing from a more traditional form of work to a form that has not proven its worth.
In conclusion, teacher-designed assignments should be used for summer work because they ensure that students will have enough work to do, they are supported by decades of work and studies, and they are more traditional than student-designed assignments. Summer work may seem like a chore to do because of summer's purported break from school. However, these assignments are crucial to doing well in school, and as proven before, teachers know best for these kinds of things. To support these teacher-designed assignments, go out and suggest that they should continue to be used to student bodies and school administrations. Summer slide can be stopped, and the evidence shows that teachers are the best source for ways to stop it.",,959,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

C68F79F5710A,"""America's love affair with it's vehicles seems to be cooling"" says Elisabeth rosenthal. To understand rosenthal's perspective, it is easier to suggest that America's car usage is decreasing slowy. This isn't necessarily bad in the sense that it has certain postive effects. The advantages of limiting car usage includes an increase in security and health, along with a decrease in pollution and dependence.
Firstly, when car usage is limited security and health is more likely to be gauranteed. The feeling of being secure is highly important to individuals everywhere. For example, many people in colombia used public transportation during a car free day ""leaving the streets of this capital city "", according to Andrew Selsky, ""eerily devoid of traffic jams"". The complications that stem from traffic jams end with a feeling of unconfidence. The plan to get from point A to B was more simple just a second ago. This complication in your personal plans leads you to become stressed as a feeling of doubt overcomes all thoughts. If car usage was limited, there would be a control on how much traffic accumalates thus minimizing chance of stress. As Heidrun Walter states ""when i had a car i was always tense. I'm much happier this way"". not only does car usage minimize conditions detrimental to health, it also enlarges your capacity for excercise. The main purpose of the car is to get someone from one place to another. when an important job takes over your personal life, it becomes difficult to do things most enjoyed in life. limits on car usage forces you to stay in shape. According to Andrew Selsky ""parks and sports centers also have bloomed throughot the city"". Less cars means healthier and natural situations. With parks and sport centers becoming more effecient, it becomes easier to find a more physically active population. Overall, less usage on cars minimizes stress and increases health.
Secondly, limting car usage becomes beneficial to the enviorment. Now a days people have become annoyed with others who care so passionatley about the enviorment. If you look behind their constant cries for action, there are solid facts. Yes;pollution is bad for the enviorment. Yes; a bad envorment means unhealthy living. Yes; cars are one of the main contributors to pollution in the enviorment. A pattern of less car usage, as Elisabeth Rosenthal states ""will have beneficial implications for carbon emissions and the enviorment"". The less use of cars, the less pollution in the enviorment. One must observe limiting car usage as an opportunity to create a cleaner world and better future. The effects of pollution in the enviorment is completley dangerous and we, the car users, are to blame.
Additionally, it would lower the dependence on cars. Many people today find that their car is so useful. While it has many features and is a form of transportation, many do not figure what they would do if they did not have such a possesion. The development of people and their interaction with technology has left a wide gap between historic, natural ways and what is thought of as modern society. Being dependent is not always good for individuals. As david goldberg says ""all our development since world war II has been centered on the car, and that will have to change"". Many people could disagree and wonder why it is necessary to change our ways especially if we are so highly devloped. If being developed means being dependent on a harmful machine, then it could not be effective devlopment. According to Elisabeth Rosenthal ""cash-strapped americans could not afford new cars, and the unemployed were't going to work anyway"". Many people can't have the precious luxury of private transportation in the first place. Those who have had it have become distant to a more natural society. Peope have become so use to having cars that they have become oblivious to the significant effects. With limits on car usage , these effcts could be controlled.
To conclude, the advantages of limiting car usage is an increase in health, along with a decrease in pollution, and less dependence on cars. limiting car usage is a positive way to enfore an organized and clean enviorment, and ensure health and security of those who live in it. This is one reason America can be reffered to as a succesful country. It is not that America has decreased use of vehicles, but the fact that they have done what is best for majority.

So it wouldnt have been surprising if it was just an ordinary mesa. In1976, Viking 1 saw the mesa and thought it looked like a face. But scientists found out that it was just a martian mesa.
On April 5, 1998 a Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia for the first time. Michael Malin and his Orbiter Camera took a picture of the Mesa that looked like face. The picture was ten times better than the picture that the Viking 1 took. They found out that it was just a natural landform and that it wasnt an alien monument at all. Yet with all the proof some people did not believe that it wasnt just a regular Mars mesa due to that it was a cloudy year on Mars. So on April 8, 2001 it was a cloudless summer day in Cydonia and the Global Mars Surveyor got a second chance to look at the butte. The surveyor took a photo using its cameras absolute maximum resolution. The picture showed that it was just a Martian equivalent of a butte or a messa.
Nevertheless we found out that it was an ordinary martian mesa that looked like a face due to shadows. It was never an alien monument but was an ordinary mesa.

A26B1E4B4703,"Hey, have you ever gone into a store and seen something you wanted but it was going to take almost all of your money so you go and ask a friend for their opinion. Well growing up, I would always ask my mom for her opinion because she was older and knew more than I did. Since then, i've always asked my mom for her opinion and I have saved a lot of money because of her. That's why I think seeking for multiple opinions can help someone make better choices because it can be a learning experience, boost their mood, and can help them financially.
When seeking for multiple opinions it truly becomes a learning experience because many people are going to tell you what you shouldn't do, and many of their reasons on what you should do aren't even going to be reasons you didn't even think about. In addition,many people will tell you things you didn't know when you ask for their opinion, Let's say someone ask their friend if they should get their favorite food and their friend responds with no, they have a lot a chemicals that arent good for your body. You get to learn why you should or shouldn't do.
Therefore, a lot of people are generally scared when you ask them for their opinion because they do not want to offend anyone. They might even feel like they are stepping on your toes when you ask them your opinion because they don't know how you are going to act or even respond,But if they tell the truth it might hurt your feelings on their opinion but it will boost your mood because you know that you have a real and true friend who is looking out for you. It's like asking someone ""Hey, do you like my dress?"" and they respond with "" No, not really."" you'll be a little sad but happy. You'll even be happy if they say ""yeah I like your dress."" People ask for opinions when they don't know what to do or if they should spend or waste they're money. Going around and asking for opinions is great because you'll be able to hear what other people would do and if you don't get what you or do what you want your mood will be boosted because your walking away with money to spear. In addition, you'll change your spending habits and the things you buy.
Finally, When you seek for people's opinions you tend to start bringing awareness to what you want and if you really need it. People's opinions change the way we think, when asking for peoples opinions it can really save us from many things especially financially. In today's generation they don't care about how much it cost they care about the name and label that comes with the shirts thats over one hundred dollars. They are wasting their money on something they are going to grow out of. Asking someone if they should get the overpriced shirt and then telling them no is going to help them financially because they will still have a lot of money if they just go and a buy a regular shirt. People's opinions can help other people financially because you could ask your friend if you should get this or that and they might not have enough so they go and borrow money and so on and so fourth they could go into dept, But if someone stepped in and helped them with that decisions and told them it was a waste of money they wouldn't be in the situation they're in now. My mom would always tell me ""the less money you spend, the more you save."" which has stuck with me through out the years because that is a rule I always follow.
In conclusion, People's opinions change and affect the way we live, we could never live without people's opinions. Always ask for peoples opinions because you'll learn new things and experience new things. You'll get to see different perspectives and understand where people are coming from and how they feel.",,684,Seeking multiple opinions,Independent,"When people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person.

84425797BC28,"Limiting car usage would have many advantages to the community around it. But the main two advantages to limithing cars is the reduction of polution,and also the reduction of congestion in many suburbs. Many cities including Bogota,Paris,and cities surrounding those have already started to limit the usage of cars.
One big problem many scientist are beginning to find out about our world is that our ozone layer is being desroyed by polution we put in the air. A big contributer to polution is the exhaust being produced by the million of cars used everyday. Another big problem countrys all over the world have to worry about is smog,or a thick layer of fog that is really hard to see through. having this very dangerous factor in the road many car crash ratings have sky rocketed. One way this can be stop is to do what these few country have been doing, that is to have days through out the year where people cant use their cars at all. To help in force this day police have been giving people fines roughly around thirty dollars. In Bogota,Colombia it was the third straight year cars have been banned. after all these years of banning cars the turnout was large. despite gray clouds that poured rain all over Bogota. When the smog went away from Bogota many other cities from Colombia have joined the event of banning cars. a qoute from
Car-Free Day is Spinning into a Big Hit in Bogota says that "" Parks and sprots centers also have bloomed throughout the city; uneven,pitted sidewalks ahve been replaced by broad, smooth sidewalks; rush-hour restrictions have dramatically cut traffic; and new restaurants and upscale shopping districts ahve cropped up"". To have these results to such a simple idea is incredible.
Another big problem in pretty much all countrys is congestion of their inner streets. When streets have major traffic alot of things change including the mood of people,and there is a higher percentage of car crashes. To fix this problem many cities did pretty much the same as before to retrict cars on certain days. A brilliant idea was presented and used in Paris. The idea was that ""on Mondays motorists with even-numbered license plates were ordered to leave= their cars at home or suffer a 22-euro fine ($31), The same would apply to odd-numbered plates that following day"". After this brilliant event finished congestion was down sixty percent in the capital of France, and after five days the smog was gone.
In conclusion the advantages of limiting cars had a far greater output than input and has also solved many big problems. All we canhope for is the parcipitation of more and more countys or cities to help lives and our world.

6B3C70C249F0,"Often times, students are more apt to finishing the project when they get to choose their own project. Many believe that working hard will continue your strength of knowledge. That being said, I believe that if students had to complete an assignment over summer break, it should be student-designed. This would give them the opportunity to show their creativity, knowledge, and work ethic.
Students who are able to choose their own assignment would be able to express their creativity how they believe it would fit. A portion of students could be excellent drawers, or just find enjoyment in drawing, and find that they want to do a project that they could express their drawing abilities. Others may find that they are more crafty and choose to do a sculpture of a significant scene in a book that they read. Students who are able to choose their own project can make it seem more interesting to them, given that they could make it how they want. Some may believe that having a teacher-designed project would be better, but not everyone would get to show their creative abilities. Creativity is an important factor that goes into making a project great.
Second, students that get to pick their own project, would be able to show their strength of knowledge that they have learned throughout the years. This would be able to help them create something extraordinary and impress themselves and their teachers. Being able to express your knowledge can show someone how far you have come in your education and what you are still weak in. Finding your weaknesses is an important aspect and can help you grow as a person both inside and outside of school. Students that get to pick their own projects would be able to make it challenging for themselves. People may think that having a teacher-designed project would be more fair to everyone, but I believe that everyone's knowledge is different, so allowing them to design their projects would accompany their knowledge best. Thus, being able to express their knowledge is another important component in allowing students to pick their own project.
Last, having students choose their own projects would help show their work ethic. By allowing them to choose their projects, it can aid them in allowing them to choose an assignment that they could finish in a couple of days, or challenge themselves and make a thorough project. Students, that I have seen, that get to pick their own projects are usually more ecstatic about making them above their expectations and have fun with it. This can also help them in managing their time wisely by being able to both finish the project and have fun during summer break. Some think that students should be given teacher-designed projects over the break so they will be more encouraged to finish them. I believe that if students are given a choice in what they want to do for their project, that it gives them more motivation to work on it and continue to make it better. Showing work ethic in an assignment is also an important aspect to allowing them to choose their own projects.
Overall, I believe that allowing students to make their own project shows their creativity, knowledge, and work ethic. Not only do they get to make it all of the above things, but they also get to have fun with it. Sometimes not everyone enjoys the assigned projects that they are given by their teacher, so this allows them to get to expand the horizon and make it their own. Therefore, I believe that if students are given a project over summer break, it should be student-designed.

As I read the paragraphes on both why the Electoral College work and does not work I have decides the side with not haveing the Electoral College.
Historical evidence and evidence from this paragraph piont to not haveing a Electoral College. One reason for this was when Al Gore lost the presedency but won the populure vote nation wide as stated in Source 2. Anouther piont is that if the people have so munch power over who is voted to be presedent then how do we have a presedent that the people did not want the president but the person is still elected, its an outrage! One example of how the Electoral College chould be a distaster waiting to happen is that rthe votes are tied which may seem not likey at forstn glance but say if the votes are tied the presedency is thrown into the House of Representatives which lets face it, in the end the desision will not be approved by the people and the people will then barly have a say on who gets to be presedent or not. Another thing is the Electoral College can also be vary bisest towrdes one party or the other. This is evident because if a certine party got more electors than another party which whould led to a canedat from one party have more support then another.
Source 3 talks about how sure thats its posssable for their to be a tie in the Electoral College but its unlikey supports what im trying the say in my earlyer Paragraph, that even though a tie is unlikey it is still possible to happen the chance is still their. This paragraph also says the everyone is a president but if that is the case then why dose the poeple that ""we"" vote for the eclectoral College help vote for the presedent insted vote for the other canadate is an atrosidy on its own. The winner-take-all system is one that only afects the swing states because if thoughs states have already voted then the staes the already votes whould be for not because the numbers for who gets voted whould be already in favor of one state or another. The fact the larger states have a bigger say in who gets voted on is not fair. the is becuase if all the big states vote for someone and about 1/4 of the smaller states vote on one end of the scale and the other states vote towrdes the other end of the scale then the ballence whould be off and one side would overpower the other side by fact of shear numbers of votes compared to the other side.

Students would benefit form being able to attend classes from home because it would be more convenient, allow more family time, and allow the student to work at their own pace.
First, Students would benefit from learning from home because it would be more convenient. When a student is learning from home they wouldnt have to get dressed so go to school. They could stay comfortable in they're bed and learn. Students wont have to worry about distractions from other students because they would be alone. Another reason learning from home would be more more convenient is students could get more breaks and spend time to themselves.
Next, Learning from home is better than learning in school because you can spend more time with your family. When students learn at school they spend eight hours in school and then come home. Some students parents arent home when they get out of school and the students spend less time with they're parents. When students learn from home they can spend more time with they're parents. Students are more likely to be successful when happy and learning with family helps keep the student happy.

Well I feel that we shlould not use tecnology to view somone's feelings. A lot of differnt things can be misunderstood just with one little mistake. I will be telling you some reasons.
Tecnolgy does not alwys read ot tell the truth. It will be hard to tell if someone is really mad or has some feelings indide themselves if using tecnolgy. Mayeb the person can be happy and excited from the inside but from they outside they show a differnt facial expression. I feel that tecnology will just mess evrything up. We need to keep it all natural and they was it is now.
If somoene is das you can see it nut you don't know how they feel inside. You can probobbly draw a picture of them or soemthing instead of using tecnology. Also any type of facial expression sould be valuable in the classroom. You can't really judge a book by it cover. So really there is no need of using tecnology to see somones looks or to make them that way. Everyone has differnt reactions to differnt things.
So I think that tecnology shpuld not be usted to identify somone or to give them a value. They are how they are and that is how it is. In a classroom ther can also be differnt values and differnt emoltional expressions. Someone might feel down but we don't know that until they talk to us or let us help them.

08479124D1C4,"Dear Principal,
A rumor is going around that you are making a new rule about the sports program. The rule, so rumor tells, that you are not going to allow kids to participate in sports unless they maintain a B average. Pardon me, but how do you manage that when most students only hold a C average. If you ask me, and maybe a few others, this is an obscure idea. Myself holds a C average and a few of my friends maintain a C average when they are the best players on the team. I do see the possible positives coming from this idea. Like that the students wanting to participate in a sporting team then must acquire good grades, not just good physical doings. Yet this is idea is still not agreeable in my head, I say we keep the sports grade averages at their normal of a C average-low D average stand.

996C6D34FAE1,"Have you ever been forced to participate in something you didn't want to? Well, that's exactly what this principal has decided to do with all of his students. Kids are expected to do so much in twenty four hours, go to school, do homework, go to sports, eat, and manage to get at least eight hours of sleep every night. Kids have lives outside of school that no one at school really knows about. You can't predict that a student goes home after a long day at school and wishes they had something to do. Some kids barely get enough sleep every night. For these reasons I believe students shouldn't be forced to participate in extracurricular activities.
Every day students wake up and go to school for seven hours whether they like it or not. Some kids don't like it, they don't like the environment of school and all they think about is when they can go home. So why force them to stay longer, they won't be happy so no one is winning. For the students that like school, and wouldn't mind staying a couple hours later and participating, let them do it. It should be their choice. If they think it would be fun, let them do it. But, if home is the only place where these kids feel safe, let them go home. Kids deserve to go home and relax after seven hours of school five days a week.
In addition, say a student really wishes they could participate in an extracurricular, they may not have the time to. With only twenty four hours in a day kids are expected to sleep for eight hours, go to school for seven hours, participate in any sports they might have, come home and do hours of homework, eat dinner, try to spend time with family, and go to sleep at a decent hour. As if that's not enough try adding an extracurricular activity into the mix, there's not enough hours in a day. But, not everyone has that packed of a schedule so for those people that could stay after for a little and kill some time, let them. It should be their choice and their choice only. Not the principal's who has no idea what a student's life is like after the last bell rings.
In conclusion, kids have so much going on that the school doesn't know about. Some students really don't like school so why are we forcing them to stay longer than needed for something that could just make it worse. You can't expect every student to want to go to school every day let alone commit the time into staying longer and doing something ""fun"". Even if they wanted to, there may not be enough time left in the day for that to happen. Students already have enough stress as it is so why put even more on their plate if it won't help them succeed. Kids that do have the time and want to participate in these can and should be able to.

DAC3B05505BE,"Is one of your biggest fears driving, or getting in a really bad car accident. Either way when it comes to driving yourself or a driveless car there is still a possibility. '' In fact none of these cars developed so far are completely driverless.'' Another thing that came from this passage was ''This means the human driver must remain alert and be ready to take over when the situation requires. so this means you still have fault even if your car was driving itself because you could've took control.
Next, if the car is driving annd has a malfunction then this could cause issues for everyone else driving with them. So one thing that you might ask is well they have sensors that will keep everyone safe. But we all know you need batteries for those things and they wouldn't last forever. So all this does is prove another point, and that is that the driver of this car needs to be alert the whole time while in this vehicle. The one thing that we all know is that people aren't going tto pay that much attention to the road, they are just going to be facinated by the car. So this just shows that this will just cause more danger to themselves and the people around them.
Then, we haven't even talked about how these car respond to emergence vehicles that are driving fast down the street with lights and sirens. Then we don't even know how long it takes for the human to regain control of the car. Do they have to pull the car over, or hit a switch, if so is there a delay such as 10 seconds or so. A known fact is that more police officerss die every year from driving lights and siren down the street on their way to something and die because of someone not paying attention. So if humans can accidently hit each other and sometimes kill each other then why would we want driverless cars doing the same thing.
Now we're going to talk about if the car took gas or electricity or both. The car seems like it would be helpful in certain areas, for example people with fatigue. they coulb be tired feeling like they're about to fall asleep. they have a car driving itself to the location. But who says the car can get them there without loosing gas or electricity. Then they don't know where they are and theycould hitch hike but they won't know where to go. So now they have to take risk and dangers with these cars.
In conclusion I think that these cars arre dangerous but helpful in some areas. The cars are hazardous when it comes to stoping for emergency vehicles because we know to pull off the the right side of the road but a computer might not. Then you have a possibility of the cars having a malfunction and crashing into things killing everyoune.

18658BB1E5FF,"We should keep the Electoral College for the voting of the United States. One good reason is they know for sure who is going to the president of the United States because of the way the Electoral College is. This voting process helps avoid a lot of bad things too. There are so many good reasons why we should keep this form of voting.
Avoiding Run-Off Elections is one good reason why we should keep the Electoral College according to ""In Defense of the Electoral College: Five reasons to keep our despised method of choosing the President."" It states that, ""The Electoral College avoids the problem of elections in which no candidate receives a majority of the votes."" This is good because they keep one of the presidents that got the majority of the votes to win automatically,instead they have to do some math to see who the winner is."" In the first writing ""What Is the Electoral College?"" by the Office of the Federal Register. This writing says that ""Most states have a ""winner-take-all"" system that awards all electors to the winning presidential candidate."" This is basically saying that everyone gets to go the presidential election.
Some more key points are some more notes in the first and last writing. In the writing ""In Defense of the Electoral College: Five reasons to keep our despised method of choosing the President."" and it states, ""The Electotoral College restores some of the weight in the political balance that large states (by population) lose by virtue of the mal-apportionment of the Senate decreed in the Constitution..."" This is saying that go by a different rule of voting because of the population being than other states. Another good point is in the first paragraph again and it says ""The presidential election is held every four years on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November."" This is good that you have a schedual for for the next voting this gives us enough time to vote, it also gives the time to see if the president is good or not.
There is some downsides to this little thing you have going on here though. That is in the second paragraph and it really gets my attention, ""Under the electoral college system, voters vote not for the president, but for the slate of electors, who in turn elect the president."" With this in mind it is telling us the people that we are not voting for the president at all that is what most people believe that they are doing so you are kind of lying to some of them.
To wrap things up I am telling you that your Electoral College system is great in most ways. You should try and change some of those things that are bad about it though.

43A98A5165A6,"Over the summer, schools require students to do a few projects to make sure they continue learning. Over a three month long break, it is easy to forget material and or not feel motivated to learn new material. Assigning projects will help encourage and enforce students to continue learning. The debate is, should teachers assign the projects or should students design their own projects. Teachers may have more knowledge and experience creating projects but if students are allowed to create their own projects, they will benefit from that experience because they got to chose what was most important for themselves to work on. They will also likely make it more broad, which allows students to make each project more individualized, each project will have a special twist to it. It will also be more discussed, it will become a trend to talk about it, students will likely feel more pressured to do it if everyone talks about it. Students will also come up with enriched new project ideas. In conclusion, students should design their own projects instead because they will appreciate it more, the project will be more discussed, and the projects will help students figure out what they need to improve also allowing them to improve themselves.
If someone for example, spends time and effort making their own meal, they are more likely to appreciate it rather then if someone gave them a meal. Comparatively with the students devising their own project, if they know how much time and hard work came with making it they will likely appreciate it more. If they appreciate it more, they are also more likely to try harder on the project then they would have otherwise. They will also think it's a better idea if they formulated it rather than the teacher. People tend to love and appreciate their ideas more than other people's ideas. Even now, their are a lot of students who complain that they don't like the projects given to them. A lot of students blame the teacher if they got a bad grade on a test or a project but with this idea, they do not have someone to blame so they will be more pressured to do the project. Even though teachers have more knowledge and experience, students know what they themselves need to work on and improve with. Giving them control and a free opportunity to dive in deeper in areas they need more improvement in would make students be thankful towards the school. Some students may not take advantage of this but schools still need to keep faith that the majority would. The students who don't, probably also would not do it if it was teacher assigned it, but hearing ""student made"" is encouraging. Therefor, more students would get it done rather then if it was teacher made.
Having the projects be student made will ensure it will be more discussed, which will have beautiful outcomes. Students will be challenged to think of ideas that will benefit them as well as new ideas teachers did not think of. There's more students then teachers, someone is bound to think of a new unique idea. Students will have a chance to make their summer projects fun and something to look forward to. Another reason is teachers assign projects but sometimes they get busy and can't think of new ideas or don't have time to discuss with other teachers to find the best idea. Students on the other hand, probably have thousands of ideas they've wanted to do but were never given the chance. They also have a younger mind that may have different ideas then a older mind would have. Students are also with each other more than teachers are, they will discuss more, if they're allowed to make it fun, it may become a trend to talk about. These projects may also bring students together, if they are working together to make a project they all agree on, that;s teamwork. They may also check in on each other for inspiration and or just because this experience successfully made them closer. This also may create some useful peer pressure to do their work and learn. Maybe this will lead to students doing work more often overall and bonding with their peers with learning. Learning will become more than a individual process and more than just reading from a text book.
It is important to take a minute and consider what you want to learn, how you'll learn it, as well as what areas you need more education in. This experience will give students more control and prepare them for college. It is important for kids, especially teenagers to understand how to use control and work independently. If they get to design a project, they will start thinking about their education and what they like verses don't like. This will teach them how to figure that out on their own with a little bit of support, preparing them for the real world. When they start discussing, it will continue to help them think how to make the project and themselves more individual. Yes this may just be a small few projects they do over the summer but it can be seen as so much more than that. It will improve everyone's ability to work with others, which is a crucial skill in life. It will be challenging to combine and compromise on different ideas. If used correctly, you can figure out more about yourself, for example, if you like to work individually verses in a group, what kind of learning style you want the project to be, what the project is on, how much work you're willing to put into it, and so many other things. Lastly, it is important to let students have control and let them improve what they need.
Concluding, students should be making the projects for summer break instead of teachers because they will appreciate it more, the project will be more discussed, and the projects will help students figure out what they need to improve also allowing them to improve themselves. This will provide a amazing opportunity and experience for students which will cause them to love the school even more. New ideas will stem from this as well as a new found love for learning and education.

It is hard already to study Venus because of its atmoshere, which is made up of almost 97 percent of carbon dioxide, makes the planet Venus the hottest planet in our solar system.

In paragraph 2, the author says, ""Each previous mission was unmanned, and for good reason, since no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours. Maybe this isse explains why not a single spaceship has touched down on Venus in more that three decades."" The author gives good reason to why trying to land a spacecraft is not the best option to obsevre the planet. Instead, focus on another planet that is well worth the time and money of a spacecraft. It would only take moments for the spacecrafts to be liquefied after standing on Venus's surface. Spending more time on a different planet that has an atmosphere and geological features similar to earth would be ground breaking for science and especially NASA.
In paragraph 3, the explains, ""A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus. Even more challenges are the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus's atmosphere.

These conditions are far more extreme than anything humans encounter on Earth."" Venus is too hot for us to explore. Landing a spacecraft would only last moments because of how severe the weather is on Venus. An environment would crush even a submarine accustomed to diving to the deepest parts of our oceans and would liquify many metals. Also, Venus's geological landscape and weather like erupting volcanoes and powerful earthquakes.
In paragraph 6, the author states, ""Peering at Venus from a ship orbiting or hovering safely far above the planet can provide only limited insight on ground conditions because most forms of light cannot penetrate the dense atmosphere, rendering standard forms of photography and videography ineffective"" Since entering Venus's atomsphere is deadly, even hovering over the planet is not enough for finding more information and observations about the hot planet. Hovering will only give scientist limited details about the planet. Also, having no light shining out of the planet makes it difficult for scientist to observe the planet.
Not being able to observe every characteristics of Venus would not make it well worth the mission to study more about Venus.

D27006254575,"Dear Principal,
I don't understand why you need to have a B average to participate in activities. This policy is unfair to many of the students, who all happen to be just below the necessary mark for participation.
To reject a large number of the kids in the student body is not right. Knowing that majority of the kids do not meet your requirement, you should probably lower the average to a C. This is in our best interest as well as yours, why would you fund a sports program if there is five kids on the team? Kids need a way to have fun in school, to get rid of the pressure of grades and teachers. To deprive them of activities that do exactly that is wrong. The policy is like saying teacher can only have a job if they have brown hair, only a select few can work. the students love their clubs and sports, they should be able to be a part of them. Having a C average is not that bad, that should be the lowest that you allow. If this policy passes, you might lose funds, and quite possibly students. Most kids i know would tell their parents about this, and the parents would take them out because of lack of opportunity. It doesn't seem fair to single out so many of the students because the have grade that are average. I understand the need for a good education, but kids need time to relax and have some fun.

287F79B6D6F6,"After a long and tiring day at school, students often look forward to returning home to retire in a stress-free environment. People's homes remind them that their strenuous day of work has come to an end and that they can now comfortably enjoy their home alongside the company of their family and friends. Students have come to have a negative perception of school as it exhausts their energy and causes them stress. But what happens when they choose to attend their institution from the comfort of their home? Does their home, a prior safe heaven from school, gain a more stressful connotation? School and home are two very important, but separate, institutions that students should not make the mistake of combining. Therefore, students will not benefit from attending online classes at home as they will get easily distracted and be less motivated to learn.
First, students will not benefit from attending online classes at home as they will get easily distracted. Students are often young and their brains have the power to rapidly grasp and process information. However, this ability can be negatively affected especially when the student is in an environment that they are well acquainted with. A well known area where students have limited interactions can dull their curiosity and aspirations for learning, causing boredom. This boredom is able to take over a young student's malleable mind and replace curiosity with distraction. In a world where technology is ubiquitous and can bring the world to one's fingertips, students would much rather research the latest scores of a basketball game or catch up on celebrity gossip, than they would learn about the Pythagorean theorem. At home, a student's mind is able to roam around freely, especially without an instructor prohibiting such distractions. Making it less likely that students are being attentive to the subject being taught on an online forum that limits their participation in the class. Therefore, students will not benefit from attending online classes at home as they will get easily distracted by the comforts in their home.
Another reason students will not benefit from attending online classes at home is that they will be less motivated to learn. Many students will agree that a commonly enjoyed perk of going to school is to meet and mingle with friends. However, when students study on an online forum at home, they do not get this opportunity to engage in conversations with peers as there are lesser chances to forge a personal bond with the students in the class. If learning online removes some of the greatest opportunities a student has to establish bonds and friendships, is it really worth it? Students need to know the faces and personalities of the people in their classes to gain a confident observation of each of their classmates' beliefs. Lighthearted conversations with one's peers are a key to developing relationships, and without the assistance of such relationships, students are likely to lack motivation in their goals and studies. Additionally, students will lack motivation in their coursework if they have less need to participate during lectures. An online study forum greatly hinders a student's ability to communicate with peers and take part in group discussions. These discussions are essential for a student's success in core classes as they captivate the student and make them play an active role in the class. Being an active learner provides students with the necessary skills to communicate with the professor and their peers, as well as to actively observe the essential components that are being discussed in the classroom's environment. The lack of opportunity to discuss topics with another student can create an uninteresting perception of that class and make students less inclined to partake in class activities and lectures. Therefore, students will not benefit from attending classes at home as they will be less motivated to partake in the class when their abilities to create relationships and be an active learner are hindered.
In conclusion, students will not benefit from attending online classes at home as they will get easily distracted and be less motivated to learn. If students are to properly balance their home life and their studies, a more reasonable approach that doesn't compromise their relaxation or student life needs to be found. Also, students who attempt to take an online class at home are more likely to be distracted by the comforts that are at their reach. The inability to forge relationships and connect with peers is another drawback of taking an online class at home. Likewise, the lack of opportunities to partake in in-class discussions creates barriers for students to succeed as active learners. Nobel Peace Prize winner and educational activist Malala Yousafzai once said,""a paper and pen can change the world."" Yousafzai overcame many hindrances before she could provide education to the girls in her village, so why do we undermine its importance? Education is a powerful tool that we must use to guide the future, it is not something that we can compromise on for comfort.",,832,Distance learning,Independent,Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing.

7309980B7A6F,"Dear Principle
I do not agree that it is fair that students are not allow to participate in any sports or school activities unless the student have a B average. One reason is because lots of students love sports. Some people want to go to college to play sports and be able to go to the pros. If you don't give us the chance to learn and play and have fun in high school , then some of us are not going to play any sports.
Another reason why you shouldn't take our fun away because of our C average is because students love to join clubs and go on field trips and help out offices and ad for other teachers and lots of other stuff.
Now if you take all that away just because of our C average than this school will be so boring and students will start switching schools and the school will be known as the worst school in the U.S all because our principal decided to take our sports and activities away.
My final reason on why you shouldn't take our sports away or our activities is because a C average is not failing . A C average is passing . Now I see if students that really wanted to join in activities and play sports had a D or an F average then ill be like ""yeah, we don't need our sports or our activities because our grade is low and we re not passing , so we need to focus on our grade"" but students have a C average and a C average is passing and I believe students will work hard to get that C average up and still have a chance to play sports or/and join activities.",,292,Grades for extracurricular activities,Independent,"Your principal is considering changing school policy so that students may not participate in sports or other activities unless they have at least a grade B average.

I think its fair for you to have at least a B average to participate in any sports at school, because if the students participate in any sports activities there not going to want to do there work at school because they would be to focused on the sport than they would there school work they wouldn't get any of there work done. I think a B is good enough because you still passing.
i think school is way more important than sports, because with out school you wont have a good education, sports is good but that's not really going to get you anywhere in life. If a student really wants to participate in any sports activities and they have a C or lower they should do something about it and ask the teacher if they can do anything to improve there grades like extra credit.
That's what i did when i was on the wrestling team my coach was about to kick me off the team because my grades were dropping to C and D but i asked my teacher if i could do anything to fix it and they gave me all of my old test and class work i didn't do so well on and let me try everything again, i brought up most of my grades and my couch said it was good enough, if you really want something you should do whatever you can for you to succeed and to get what you need.

7E0447C178D8,"Dear TEACHER_NAME,
I understand that Policy 1 is already the school's cell phone policy, but Policy 2 is what I believe to be the better of the choices. Instead of allowing us to bring and use them during free times, phones should not be permitted at school.
Being a student here myself, I have witnessed the lack of recognition the policy has been given. Mostly every student with a cell phone switches them to silent or vibrate while they are in class, and some do not even bother to conceal the constant rings emitted. Every few days there is one phone in one class that goes off, and the lesson is suddenly interrupted until the suspect is found and has faced the consequences.
Not only are the phones still on during learning times, but some are even put to use. Countless times have I seen someone pull out their cell phone and once concealed from the adult's view, send messages that will probably end up ringing a phone in another room. Behind jackets, below books, hidden in pockets and, sometimes, just out in the open when the ruler of the class has turned their back -the phone is brought out.
Even though its understandable to keep them, just in case of emergency or need to assure parents that the child is well, it's better to leave that for phones on campus, preferably ones that are not cellular. If a student ever needs to contact a parent to pick them up, remind them of their late return home, or make any important call of the sort, they should report to the office, ask for permission, and call from there.
Not allowing cell phones may provoke students to bring and hide them, but spotting them should be easy if others follow the rule. Policy 2 would be the ideal way of keeping sixth, seventh, and eighth-graders in line, and away from one of the main distractions that prevent them from doing their uttermost best.

And if they need to call someone they could use the school phone. So there isn't a real reason why cell phones should be at school. Cell phones are just a distraction during the day. Think if you were taking a test and all you could hear was the kid next to you texting for the answers. What do you think?
Isn't it a distraction to you and everyone around the kid? Well in my opinion that is just annoying. And think about when they are walking down the hall. They are texting and looking at there phone then they run into someone or they could trip and injure themselves and others.

783A5BC572A9,"Dear Principal,
I think that students should be required to do community service. If they would perform to do community service there would be no trash anywhere and it would look clean. It would be nice because it would be clean. No one would like see a dirty place, street, school, and stores. The reason why I'm telling you this is so you could understand what I am trying to say. It would be awesome if you made a program that has community service for people that would like to pick up trash and go to peoples houses and try to convince they to not litter. Also there has been recycle bins coming in and there has not been that much recycle coming in its like people just walk by and think that it is a trash can. We also need people to throw away trash in trash cans and recycle in the recycle bin .
We should print out papers talking about keeping areas clean at all times and have them call your cell phone number to see if they would like to join us clean around dirty areas. My point is that we should keep everything clean. We should have teachers that inspire kids that want to keep there schools clean. You should make a program named healthy cleaners. So you should think about everything I told you in this letter. Thank you for all of your help!

F955CE7D650C,"Just as crisp Autumn air rolling just around the corner and summer is coming to a bitter sweet ending. Then OH NO!
You completely forgot about that pesky summer assignment your teacher gave you. You were supposed to read one book every week and write an analysis. This is what its like for every student young or old when given a summer assignment. That is why summer projects and assignments should be student designed as it gives students the opportunity to create something they will enjoy and held accountable for as well as giving teachers a break.
The projects given to students over the summer are nine times out of ten busy work. A very large assignment most of the time having to do with reading and then writing about how you feel about that particular topic assigned. When a student is given busy work there is no real learning happening. If students create their own projects this very issue can be avoided as they can change and adapt their project so they are genuinely learning. Another reason student should be allowed to design their own summer assignments is because it will give them the opportunity to create something fun, quick and easy and that still assures students are learning during their break. Students don't regularly get a lot of liberties when it comes to their projects. Letting students creating their own assignments will help students feel in charge and create something they will enjoy doing. Furthermore It will also help students learn in their own way as not everyone is the same. Student designed summer projects will make students feel in control of their learning and create a project fit for them and their learning style whatever that may be.
When students are given the option to create their own summer project it makes it much easier for the student to be held accountable. Students know how much work they are able to do as well as the skill level required for their project. When students create their own projects its always going to be able something they enjoy, making it easier for them to do the project and be held accountable for it. Students are also able to create their own project knowing they are being graded not on the standard for everyone else but the standard for themselves. This takes a lot of pressure off of students as they feel like they will be graded fairly as long as long as they do as much as they are capable of doing and do it well. If the student does not complete the project for whatever reason it is much easier for them to be held accountable for it, as excuses like ""I didnt understand"" or ""It was to hard for me"" will become invalid because they are the ones who create the project. Thus making it clear that student designed projects will benefit everyone and insure work is being down.
Some people who believe that teachers should design summer project may argue that because they are the ones that create student assignments and projects for students on a day to day basis they would be able to create a project more efficiently in comparison to a student.
Although what people with these beliefs fail to realize is that teachers are humans too and they get tired. Teachers wait for the summer to come just as much as students and to have them create an entirely new project towards the end of the year can be very tiring after having a year full of creating assignments. When the students create their own summer project it allows for teachers to be able to relax and take some weight off their shoulders as the day until summer slowing come. Another argument that could be made as to why teachers should make summer projects is that teachers will create projects tailored for the student as they work with them the whole year but this is in fact wrong. Teachers are one person and are not able to create strong bonds with every students they come across. Typically the project given is one standard made to fit everyone but thats not possible as everyone is not the same. This is why students should be allowed to create their own summer projects.
All in all student should be given the opportunity to create their own summer projects. This because students will create something they enjoy and will do. It will also give teachers with one less project to make. After all why take the hard way when allowing the students to design the project themselves can be just efficient with less work for both students and teachers. That is exactly why students should be allowed to create their own summer projects. At the end of the day everyone just wants to enjoy their summer the best way possible.

885CBDD4A297,"Have you ever asked somebody for their opinion so you can make a choice? Most people ask more than one person and if you're one of those people that's a good thing. Asking only one person for an opinion is not really a bad thing, but that person you're asking might not tell you everything you need to know. Looking for multiple opinions rather than one is better because some people know more then others and you get more information to base your choice off of.
When you're asking somebody for their opinion it's better to ask multiple people because some know more then others. There are some people that will give you a basic four word response because they don't know anything about what you're asking them about. However others have more knowledge or experience. Those people will give you a long response to your question with more information and advice about the choice you're going to make. An example would be buying something and you didn't know if you are getting your money's worth. You could ask different people to see if you're getting a good deal or if you could buy something for the same quality for a lower price somewhere else.
Getting multiple opinions also gives you more information to base your choice off of. If you have more information it will make it easier for you to choose, or it will give you alot more options to choose from. You could put together all the information you got from asking multiple people to help make a better choice for yourself. This relates to me because it helped me pick out a dog when I was younger. It made it easier for me to choose a dog that would be perfect for my lifestyle.
Looking for multiple opinions rather than one is better because some people know more then others, you get more information to base your choice off of.

I feel that advice from multiple people is good because we can pick which advice would be helpful to us, we can use other peoples advice and reflect on it, and whatever advice would be the most helpful we can use that on any situation that we might be going through. That is why I am going to talk about how multiple helpful words can lead to a better life.
First I want to talk about how we can pick which advice would be most helpful to us. Everyone always words things differently. That is why it should be important that we know what advice would work more for us. Not everyones advice is going to be helpful to us that is why multiple people should share us their opinions. Someone might give you advice but then you realize that someone else might word it differently. I feel that picking the mst helpful advice is the way to go.
Next, I want to talk about how we can all reflect on peoples advice that they give us. Whatever situation that we might be in you know people are going to have our backs. As long as we can use their advice that they give us, we can tell other people about it. Letôs say that someone is going through the same situation, we can share the advice with the and they would share the advice with someone else. Giving helpful words is like a ripple effect. That is why we should take the most helpful advice and share it with other people so that we can impact lives.
Furthermore, we all sometimes get ourselves in sticky situations. That is why we need a few friends or people we look up to get us out of sticky situations. Maybe they all some words of wisdom. We can use those words of wisdom and use it on our everyday lives. whenever we feel down or feel that we cannot get through another day we can use the advice. We should all take advice from people that are trustworthy and accountable.
All in all, taking advice from multiple people is the way to go. No matter what your going through you should always ave people by your side helping you when you need it the most.

So Luke let people from other places stay at his home so they could go to a good school. And that awarness stayed with him for the rest of his days. Like he said it was an opportunity of a life time.
Luke had just graduated from high school and was working 2 part time jobs. One at the bank. One at the grocery. Untill one day his friend Don Reist came along and asked him to be a ""Seagoing Cowboy"" with him. He knew this was the oppertunity of a life time. So obivisly he went.
In August 1995, World War ll was over in Europe, many countries were gone. So luke and the other Seagoing Cowboys were sent there with food, animals, and more. Luke and his friend were shiped over seas to help as part of the UNRRA. He was shocked to see all the countries ruined. There was nothing left!
After all of that he was shiped to China with lots of suplies. One his way he got to see ols castles. He also traveled down the Panama Canal. The aniamls keep Luke very busy. They needed to be feed 3 times a day. They played lots of ball games to pass the time. Like volleyball and table tennis.

Seagoing Cowboy was much more than an adventure to Bomberger. On all over his nine missions he learned that he was very lucky.

522421AC1CDB,"Dear Principal TEACHER_NAME,
I agree with the idea of students participating in sports activities unless they have a B average. I think this is a great idea because the students would be able to make it to college if they don't get a sports scholarship, the parents would be satisfied with the grade that their son or daughter gets, and the students would have a bright future because they would have a perfect reputation.
The first reason is that if the students have to get a B average in their grade that would make them desperate which would make the students smarter, which would get the students to pass the S.A.T test when they go to college, and if they do get into to college the school's reputation would better since the school changed the student's grade.
Also it would make the students easier to get them to college id they don't get a sports scholarship. Also the students would be happy to because they can play their favorite sports, and get a better grade, and good reputation that would follow the student untill they graduate college, which would make a good look when the people in the college looks at it, not like who got a bad grade since the councilors would hate the students before even meeting him.
Another reason why is that the parents would be satisfied with the work that their children has done, and their children would have a better reputation with sports. The parents would talk to their friends and tell them how great the school is, and their friends would tell their friends how good our school is and that could make this school a lot more popular then before.
The last reason is that the student's future would be right because the reputation can get a company to hire him with the reputation he had in his school years. Then many colleagues from the company might send their children to our school.
These are the reasons why I agree with the ideas, I hope that you will not change your mind about this reasons.

BC1EB41C5606,"You may not know, but schools have been requiring students to complete summer projects so they can still continue to learn over summer break. You probably wondering now like, why would they do that, but thats not the question. This individual have to explain should the projects contain the teacher designing them or the students designing them. As one, the projects should contain the students designing them because some students like to use their own creativity, when you come up with your own things,accomplish the and do good on it, that make a person feel good about their self, may want to come up with your own so people can use the material that's already at home. yes, some people may think that the teacher should design and some people may think that student should design them, but as one, this essay will contain it being the students designing their own projects.
Well, here will talk about how people like to use their own creativity. For example, I know a female that like to draw, shes very creative and she always drawing on her spare time. If her teacher does not have as much creativity as she does it would not be no fun for her. If the teacher was to design the projects she would not to get to use her creativity as much as she would like. Do not get me wrong she will use it even if her teacher was to design the projects she will not use as much as she would if she was to sit down and think of a design herself. If she can sit down and think of one herself then she can fully use her creativity and then she will have more fun doing the project because she can come up with her own idea.
This specific paragraph will talk about how when people come up with their own ideas and accomplish them, it make them feel good about themselves and it pushes them to do more. If someone had to write a three page paper and had to turn it in by the end of summer break and they plan on having it done by the end of June and they accomplish that goal, its going to make them proud and make them feel good about their selves. Yea, some people may say otherwise such as they only did it because they had no choice and it was grade, but thats not true because people always have a choice. They did it because they wanted to accomplish their goal that they set and they did that. Im pretty sure no students wants to go on summer break and do a project or work because that suppose to be our time off from school. That's our only long break that we get to have.
Last reason contains wanting to pick your own project so people can just use the materials that they have at home instead of going to the store and having to but some materials. For example, if a person was to have supplies to do the project that they want to do and the teacher say, ""i'm going to pick your projects"". Then she give someone a project that you do not have none of the material for and the that person have to go out and spend their precious money on a project. Instead, this is y this should contain students designing their own projects and then that person can just pick a project they already got the materials for.
Finally we reach the end of this confident essay. Some people will not agree to what this person said and some people may agree to what this person said. This person is not here to worry about who agree with her or not she just want to leave her opinion and how she feel about the question. With all that being said, these are this ones reasons to why she think that the school summer projects should be student designed and not teacher designed.

I think , in my opinion to take class in online thats not good ways for learned. Because it is so dificult for they understand what the teacher is talk about it is there when they became confused and dont have it any benefits for them . This so new for them this is making that the students take time to assimilate what the teacher say it and learining . There is when the teacher become teach it they dont know what they doing because they don't have the cofidence we they teachers because you feel weird to talk we someone you dont know . Sometimes it is more better take normal class at schools for some students it is easy ways to learned because have time after school for making anything they nedd to make .
First reason, Some student are confused when they take this class in online for any reason it is so dificult . Also dont have any benefits for them this it is because some students become confuse to understannd what it is class about because they dont pet attencion because the class turned boring to taking the class in this forms . Some student have some troubles with the language, because they dont know english this making they become confused, and some of them fell the class because dont talking they can not expressing they self to talk .
Another it is because the student , at home attendent be more lazy's and have more trouble to concetrated. Because they have more distraction , At home this why I think have class in online have consecuencies because they dont learning any they have distracion eg, som distracion are phone, taking, and tv .
Second reason , some student's can not assimilated what teacher's say it because have problem with the internet in dont is clear what they talking . Sometimes the student's does like the class in online and more hurt to learn. Eg, Some students are not prepared for tecnology,
I mean with this they dont not how use it hte computer or making any work . Eg when the students come to school dont understand the teacher ask to them inmedialy they explain and you undderstand . But this class at computer are so diferent t to get what the teachers are teach during class.
Third reason ,some times it is more good take class at schools . Because Take class at school have good benefits you learnig many things if any diffult for you to understand . Because anything you dont understand you can asked you teachers, anytime you want and have better grades at class .
Some students can stayed after school make the work you dont make it , finished work that you not done during class, and retake test .
sometimes it is good have it class at school becuase you know more people in have someone that you talk this so help for some peoples for when they are stressfull .
I think to come at schools have it more benefits, that have it class in at online. Because schools are first important place where can you learned dont have any trouble for making the work turn more easy for us . Also class online for me it is secundary , because you need to have more knowleges in many forms one ways it is ;
taking, speaking and know how to use it the computer fast. In this class some times the student dont put attencion they dont get any thing, if becuase difficult this making some students fell in class in online.

Although, it shows how clever the students are, make them responsible, help to improve the country, and good for their health nevertheless, some students are not responsible sometimes, because they have not beging responsible before, and some students will use the chance of being able to attend classes online in a good way. According to BBC News there are 85% of students prefer to attend the classes online than attend to school.
To begin, attend classes online is better than attend the classes at school in many ways. One of the ways is, it help to build a responsible personalty. For instance, by giving the lessons online students are responsible to attend to class, and take notes; especially when there is a certain time for the classes to begin, and end. This shows that, when the students grow up, and being employees they will be responsible to attend to their jobs at time. This will help to improve our country then it is now; this is new generation! Clearly, attend classes online have a lot of benefits for students, and the country.
Furthermore, by attend classes online will shows how clever the students are!
plus, it is good for their health as well; it make their brains to be more active. For example, when students have homework to do, they keep thinking about how to do it. Imagine when students have classes at homes, and have homeworks, how good it is for their brains! This shows that, attend classes online at homes has many benefits for students; it not only shows how clever they are by take classes online, but it help them to be healthy. Obviously, I would prefer to attend classes online than come to school.
Overall, being able to attend classes online is better than coming to school in many ways. As I wrote the benefits of being able to attend classes online. I think by 2020 all of the students will prefer to attend their classes online than come school. In conclusion, attend classes online help to improve the country,and it help students to show how clever they are; plus, it help them to be healthy.",,362,Distance learning,Independent,Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing.

It's the first thing they look at in the morning and the last thing they see before sleep. This electronic takeover has had a very big affect on distracted driving, causing many innocent lives to be lost all because of a Text message. Driving is a skill that requires constant focus on the road and the others on the road with you. Carless or negligent driving doesn't just affect the person doing the act, it also effects everyone around the distracted driver.
Texting and driving incidents are one of the most reported problems in the US right now. In 2013, 3,154 people were killed in distraction-related crashes, about 424,000 people were injured in crashes involving a distracted driver and 10% of all drivers ages 15 to 19 involved in fatal accidents were reported to be distracted at the time of the crash. Distracted driving has had a huge impact on many young Impressionable drivers who are very prone to starting bad habits that may lead to accidents involving other drivers on the road. Phones should not be involved with driving because they are simply too distracting and there is clear evidence that supports it, many lives can be saved and avoid all the pointless pain and agony caused to the people involved.
There are laws set in place to protect us that make sure people aren't distracted while driving, and if they are there are consequences that could even result in the revocation of their licenses. I believe these laws benefit society as a whole. If we were to not have these laws, then the death rates in the US would sky-rocket past the limits they already are. The National Safety Council reports that cell phone use while driving leads to 1.6 million crashes each year and texting while driving is 6x more likely to cause an accident than driving drunk.
With a problem that is so avoidable I hope that people can come together and realize what texting and driving is doing to the world and that all we have to do is follow the law and stay focused while driving to not only protect ourselves, but all the innocents around us. Together everyone can make a change by making the right decision when on the road.

520545C18283,"Should there really be an Electoral College? Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Bob Dole, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the AFL-CIO have all agreed on abolishing the electoral college, and so do I! Not very many people really understand what the electoral college really is.
The electoral college was established into the Constitution by our founding fathers as a compromise between election of the President by a vote in congress and election of the President by a popular vote of citizens. The electoral college consists of 538 electors. A majority of 270 electoral votes is required to elect the President. Wherever you live your states allotment of electors is equal to the number of members in its Congressional delegation.
Each canidate running for president has his/her own group of electors. The electors are usually chosen by the canidates political party. But each state has different laws. It depends on how the electors are selected and what their responsibilities are. The Presidental election is held every four years on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November. Whenever you vote for whom ever you want to be President, you are also helping choose your states electors. Whenever you vote for your canidate you are actually voting for your canidates electors.
Your governor prepares a ""Certificate of Ascertianment"" after the presidential election listing all of the canidates who ran for President in your state along with the names of their respective electors. Also, the certificate declares the winning of the presidential canidate in your state and it shows the electors that will represent your state at the meeting of electors in December of the election year. Your certificate is then sent to the Congress and the National Archoves as part of the official records of the presidential election.
Now, im sure there are many many people that agree with me that we should get rid of the electoral college. Over 60 percent of voters would prefer a direct election to the one we have now. Under the electoral college system, voters vote for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president. The electoral college doesn't try to fix the problem of elections in which no canidate receives a majority vote, they just ignore it.
I think that it is the popularity vote that should decide who gets the most amount of votes and decides who become the next President of the United States. I think that the Electoral college is unfair to the citzens around the U.S.
I always thought that it is us, the people that got to decide who we believe should become the next president, not the canidates electors.

CDBE82430B57,"When you need advice what do you do? Do you talk to someone? If so,is it good to ask someone or even multiple people? I think it is because you can find what is the best option,sometimes its good to express yourself,and if you tell someone they might tell more people and you will have really good options. So I belive its good to ask many people for advice.
My first reason is to find what option is the best. What I mean by this is,if you only talk to one person for advice then sometimes it can go bad because,their advice is not going to be the best choice and sometimes it can make things worse. So if you ask multiple people there is a chance you can find the best choice that can help you.
My second reason is, its good to express yourself. If you express yourself and ask for advice it will put less stress on you and you can focus on something else because its off your mind. It is also good for your mental heath and it can buil up your self confidence. It will make you more comfortable to talk about your issues and ask for more advice.
And now for my last reason;My last reason is if you ask more people for advice it can help you.

Well in my school our principle makes all the students do extracurricular activities including sports,working on the year book ,and serving in the student council. I agree with this new rule because of these two reasons. It makes you more healthy when you join sports, and It helps you socialize more, also you can make new friends.
As I was saying doing extracurricular activities can make you healthy. It makes you healthy by just running around and exercising. It also makes you healthy by you just having fun. If your sad playing sports can make you happy and something to look forward to at the end of the day. and my final reason on why extracurricular activities after school makes you healthy is you have something to do after school; instead of being bored at your house you can run around and play with others. and that brings me to my next point.
my second point of why extracurricular activities after school is good for you is you get to socialize more. This is good because Its good to talk to others. Another thing thats good about socializing is it helps keep you out of trouble. for example when you are talking to your friends then that means you are ignoring the bad stuff theirs going on around you. finally My final reason on why socializing is good for you is that it makes you earn friends. Having fun and socializing with someone is a good thing and with extracurricular activities after school you can easily make friends.

9.55E+11,"Dear Principle,
I for one have never been a big part of participating in sports to be quite honest with you. My grades have always been one of my top prorites as a student. I have lived my whole life watching people play sports and other activities and how that effects them as a human being so to tell you the truth I think that your new "" B average only"" scenario is absurd. Now hold on a minute, I'm not trying to be rude but just wait and hear my side of the story.
I think that if you took this B average policy into action that it would anger the student body as a whole. While I do understand that sometimes you have to do things that people wont necessarily agree with you have to side with the student body sometimes too because they have to respect you. You will turn already rebellious students into ones that come into your nightmares.
First let me tell you what taking away sports to those children would to. Most importantly some children just aren't well how do I put this nicely, the smartest children out there. I'm not trying to be mean but sometimes no matter how hard a student tries to do there work they just do not grasp the material enough to comprehend it resulting in poor grades. Even if they do not excel in school they may do better in other areas such as sports or the arts. If you took away these kids rights away to sports just because they don't get the information that would be like denying a child food because it misbehaved.
Sports also play a big part in our health. Did you know that studies show that 1/3 of all children from Massachusetts are obese? When I heard that it made me think of what this country is doing to its children that we are the way we are today. Sports keep us healthy and only a moron wouldn't be able to see that clearly. If we want to improve the health of this state, if we want to improve the health of this nation we have to start adding more daily activity to a child's life. I'm not even a sports sort of person but to take away sports just based on grades alone would be like taking a step back in the process to make the children of America healthy.
Today's teenagers live in a society that is basically based off our stereotypes and while I do understand that this is not necessarily true in some places, for the commen teen this is a rule of life. We are placed in our little packages and labeled as nerd, jock, and the artsy types among other groups of people. I'm not saying I agree to this because as far as labeling people goes because I don't but you have to understand that to some people this label is who they are, its almost become their way of life and you would just make them rebel if you took that privilege away from them.
I know that you see education as something important and I for one see it the same way but sometimes people are in such a different mind set that you cant change the way they view things no matter how much you try to. People one day might want careers outside of academia so you have to give them that option as well, to embrace what they are good at and love to do. I think that as long as the student isn't in D or F range for their over all grade that they should be allowed to participate in these school activities. You have to draw a line somewhere but drawing the line with C range students is not the place to draw such a line.
Your the principle but think about how you grew up? Was there ever something that was your passion to do other than school work? That's how it is for some of these kids but however more intense. For some its the way they live. High School and Middle School are places where you have to find who you want to be and taking away sports and other activities would be like denying them of that chance. So Mr. Principle put yourself in our shoes, our poor confused shoes that are still trying to figure out what we want to do with our lives. We need this policy to stay out of our school system because not only will you have rebellion, a higher chance of obese children, but your C students will have lost their identity in a way. I always said that I wanted to make a difference, to stand up for what I believed in, and this is me doing so.

B3541C7B8380,"People ask for advise all the time, but have you ever thought about getting a second opinion?
Not everyone does, and thats something that needs to change.
When I was about ten I fell off my bike and broke my wrist (or so we thought) we went to the doctor and my dad decided to get a 2nd opinion.
The second doctor stated that I had two minor fractures and that I would need a full arm cast not a hand splint. Seeking multiple opinions is a great way to help you make better choices that could affect you emotionally and physically.
A person can have an opinion, but what really is an opinion.
An opinion is a non factual statement that people use in arguments to every day life.
Everyone has their own opinion but when it comes to medical and physical issues the result could be very bad if three people have different opinions.
Thats why most people get 2nd or even 3rd opinions if none of them match up.
You can not only get second opinions in the medical field you can also get them in the emotional field.
When I was in 7th grade a student asked me if he should commit suicide I said no and referred him to the school counselor.
He later thanked me and went to therapy and currently has an A honor roll.
Seeking multiple opinions can be beneficial to your health and others.
The police force has a negotiator who attempts to persuade a suicidal person or a person robbing a bank not to do what they are doing.
This person goes out onto the front line just to give someone their opinion that could save others lives.
The best way to prove someone wrong is to use factual information but when religion or politics come up most facts go down the drain more so in religion.
But you can prove someone wrong just using opinions.
I was recently engaged in an argument about religion with a fellow lunch mate.
He asked me if I believe in an afterlife I promptly said no and then we then went back and forth.
I was contradicting almost every opinion he had with a fact that I either new or had looked up on my phone.
I ended that lunch feeling quite pleased with myself for fact had beat opinion.
Facts can beat opinions but you can not change what someone believes in if they really do believe in it.
That same student approached one of my colleges they have the same opinion that I do and the student is now contradicting what he so desperately needs to believe.
Although seeking multiple opinions is a good thing to do your opinion almost always comes out on top no matter the consequences.
When seeking multiple opinions be sure your checking with someone with experience in the field you want help with.
Getting multiple opinions can be beneficial to you in a physical and emotional way.
If your emotions get in the way of your safety and others seek a first or 2nd opinion.

A500CCF711B0,"Dear Principal,
My name is STUDENT_NAME one of your fellow students and I think that every student should do community service.
This is because it helps out the school, the community, and it helps make them a better person.
It doesn't even take that long to do some sort of service.
But if everyone got into the attitude that if we help someone then something good might happen to them one day.
If no one volunteered to do anything than the school would look bad, the community to, and no one would be a better person.
Hard work will pay off one day.
See if we do community service it could help the school, the community, or maybe even make that person a better person.
If everyone did community service than the school would look nice and the teachers would be more organized.
The community it would look clean and far from litter.
The person once they are done with helping they will feel better about themselves.
But where would the world be without some sort of community service to make a difference.
By starting a community service project the world would be a better place.
The thing of it is that community service doesn't even take that long.
You could do it for an hour or you could do five.
Just a little bit counts.
When you help someone for that little bit of time you are making them happy not just yourself.
So go do that little bit and make yourself feel better, other people feel better, and even make the world a better place.
You know when you help others something good will happen to you one day.
But if you have this attitude that nothing good will ever come out of helping someone you would be wrong.
It won't happen right away but give it time.
If you are happy and have a good attitude about what will happen to you and someone else is happy because of you then you have done a good job.
But without a program to do anything like this then no one will know what it is like.
If no one volunteered to help out with anything that had to do with work then where would the world be.
The schools would look really bad because if no one helped them how would it be anything.
The community you have people who help clean it up they do it because they want to not because they have to.
The people wanted to make the community look nice so that way they don't have to live in a disgusting place.

One reason why these cars would not be good woukd be if there is an old person that can not drive they could consider one of these cars.

0358E1A5CC75,"Online school? Online classes? Everything has become online this day in age. Even school has became an online thing. I believe online classes should not be allowed, unless there is a certain class that is not offered in the particular school and the student wants to take it, then that should be allowed and go towards high school credits. Or if there is a personal reason why a student can not come to school to learn. Other than that, not all students should be allowed to go to online school. One reason is that students will not be able to get help due to the fact their is no teacher or any peers to help. Also, kids and teens tend to get very easily distracted and most likely will not get their work done fully. Lastly, students need a break from looking at the screen all day long.
Starting off, teachers play an extremely important role of students learning. The internet can not tell you everything you need to know in life. Yes, it can be helpful to have that resource but it should not be where this generation gets its information. Personally, I have had a very hard time trying to remember information I have read online. Being in class and reading it and hearing the information helps me remember way more. Being in class is very important due to you could miss out of information and the fact you can miss out on little ways to remember things you have learned in class. Whenever you are doing a research paper or you are doing class assignments, if you have a question, a teacher is extremely helpful. It is like teachers know everything you need help with, it is just nice to be able to know you have that resource.
Furthermore, our generation has been quick to hop on social media whenever we get bored. Students are more likely to get distracted at their house than in school. At school, you really have no worries except for getting your work done. In a classroom, your mind can be better at ease. It will help you become in a mind set where you can get the work done and you know what you are doing. Whenever I am at home, I tend to list all of the different things i need to do in my head and I stress out about all of the things I have to do, and I end up not doing them. Or I am running around trying to get everything to do. By the end of the day, I realize that I did not do the important things I needed to do. Being in a school environment has made me work so much harder. School can be difficult, even if you are in a school environment; but by having your peers and your teacher to help you, it is less stressful and having a support system is good.

EAC3596461E7,"Dear Principal,
Out of the two possible policies you are considering I would have to say that i favor the second. The idea of allowing students to use cell phones during free time makes absolute sense. Not allowing the phones during class time is respectable as well, that way the learning isn't affected.
During free time, students aren't putting their time into anything anyway. Letting them use their phones will have no affect what so ever or anything important, such as school work. There is really no downside to policy number one. It will make most students very pleased as well.
Policy two however, I am against. The idea of no phones what so ever seems harsh and strict. What is the student is having a bad day and can't call a parents for a little help? That could affect how the learn in school, not being able to have outside connections. It would be like the student was in a cage for an entire school day, how would you feel to be locked up in a cage? The student's should be allowed their freedom.
There is always a punishment for not following the rules, some will have to be thought of, of course, if the new policy that you choose is not followed. Don't expect everything to run smooth at first, things may always be changed. Try out letting students use the phones during free time, it's just something new. It may lead to a happier environment, and maybe even better grades for students. Young people love freedom and being allowed to do what they want, giving them this freedom could have a tremendous outcome.

F69DA030AE67,"What would you do without car usage? Is there such thing as too much or too little car usage? Many residents or travelers are nearby thier destination and don't nessesaraly need a car to get there. Although, for other's they may need to use a car becasue of extended distance. Limiting car usage has many advantages. For example, in Vauban, Germany streets are completely ""car free"". According to the article "" 70% of Vauban's families do not own cars, and 57% sold car's to move here"". Families and friends are much active with each other and can spend more quality time outside of school and work.
When there is less car usage more public transportation will be available to thoose who need it more importantly. Also there would be less polution with the gas and air. ""It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution"", said businessman Carlos Arturo Plaza. Due to the smog that was in France, car's was banned. ""Public transit was free of charge from Friday to Monday"", according to the BBC. Fuel is also a great impact. Do you ever feel like you just work hard for nothing? Money is being wasted on gas, car materials, and car details much more then the things it really needs to be spent on.
Limiting car usage could mean less accidents. Less accidents means less deaths and injuries. Driving could be risky especially in crowdy places with people and other cars. Limiting cars could also mean people getting to know diffrent places often and not just the places they are used to going. Parks and sports centers also have had bloomed throughout the city; uneven, pitted sidewalks have been replaced by broad, smooth sidewalks; rush-hour restrictions have dramtically cut traffic; and new resturants and upscale shoppung districts have cropped up. Families are more engaged together and work together to make it to thier destination.
In conclusion, Do you feel as if car polution should be limited becasue of all the advatages. Limiting car usage has it advantages and disadvatages. Many things could possibly happen. According to The end of Car Culture article, ""pedestrian, bicycle, private cars, commercial and public transportations traffic are woven into a connected network to save time, conserve recources, lower emissions and improve saftey"". The Mobile World Congress is looking for more saftey ways to transport and get to yout destintation when needed.

A550B41E7CD7,"Why explore Venus? Is it not dangerous, and scary, and hot? What could it possibly have that Earth has not already given us? Well, Venus is much more like Earth than most people like to think. And personally, between you and I, I think they are scared of the opportunity to leave their comfortable homes and Cheetos. Venus could be crucial for Earth, and we are about to find out why.
Here is a hypothetical scenario. Tomorrow, we find out it is too late to stop global warming, and we have twenty years to evacuate the planet, or we die with it. Scientists everywhere panic! 'Oh no! We don't have anywhere to go!' Then, NASA steps in, like a really protective dad, 'fear not, children. We can be safe on Venus.' Everyone responds happily, until they process the situation. 'Wait, did you say Venus?! We would never last in such a desolate, violent place!' Well, you're wrong buddy. And science can vouch for me. Venus isn't so different from Earth. At least, it didn't used to be. Scientists who have made successful missions to Venus with droids have found traces of oceans, valleys, mountains, you name it! There have been many, many signs on Venus of Earth-like conditions! The article states that Astronomers have reason to believe Venus was actually more Earth-like than Mars! It amazes and confuses them! On top of Venus being just like us, it would be easily acessible. After all, it is just a few light years away.
Venus, while very desolate, and violent, has also shown signs of possibly being able to support life as we know it. Scientists would like to keep their manned missions above the violent weather conditions, making it easy for them to study the surface of the small planet. The traces of water and weather left behind provide a sense of comfort for humans, knowing that if Venus was a last resort, they would be safe and secure.
Now, in order for Venus to truly be acessable, in those hypothetical twenty years, we would have to make major technological advances. We would need transportation, protection, shelter, amongst many other things. However, Venus does provide some of the things we need, or keeps us safe from what we should avoid. Venus provides a close position to the sun, which, while still very hot, leaves plenty of wiggle room for solar energy, utilized by us! Not only would that power us, but it would also keep us from ruining another planet! The air pressure in the atmosphere is similar to that of sea level on Earth, which would be ideal for the young, and the old. Additionally, Venus provides protection from harmful radiation, much like Earth! What's not to love about avoiding radiation?
Venus is a strong, beautiful, powerful and incredible planet. It can protect us, serve us, and make us feelm safe. While there are some disadvantages, I'd argue that there are more advantages. Who wouldn't? Humans act on their curiosity, with no regard for danger or doubts. In this growing age of technology, how could we? I'd keep an open mind on space exploration.

I think we should'nt have the Electoral College because the system will go all wrong because who were actually voting for, unfair to voters, and its outdated and irrational. These are the reasons why i think that we shouldnt have Electoral College.
We shouldnt have it because voters dont actually vote for the president they want, but for a slate of eletors who is turn to elect the president which is unfair. If you wanted to vote for a president but you arent in that area you wouldnt be voting for that peron you'll be voting for a slate of 34 electors who pledge to that person. That will make the person get 34 electoral votes. This will be unfair to the voters and who they want to vote for.
The Electoral College is unfair to voters because whoever wins takes all the systems in each state, candidates dont spend any time in the states they have no chace of winning, and only focusing on the ""swing states"". In 2000 campaign the state didnt see the candidates at all. Why would you put your fate in the hands of people you never see or in a few swing voters?
The most worries people have is if there is a tie in the electoral vote. If that happen the election wouldnt be up to us at all and we dont want that. You would have to choce the vice president because we only got one vote. Even the house's can hardly even be expected to reflect the will of the people.

I choose policy 1, because its not bad to have their phones out at lunch period or any free time they have. I just think they should have them at their free time.
Well here are some reasons why I think that. Well for one they are not doing any school work or anything that's for school so why would you make them be bored. For second they can have their phones out and do want they want so they don't have to do it in class and get caught. Its not a bad idea and you should let the students have something that they want, because they are in school for like 8 hours and that's so bad. It drives me crazy everyday, I have to sit in a chair and do work and not even have my phone out at free time. Seriously that's wrong well I think it is and I probably think a lot of students do too. So you should let them have their phones out at free time, because they will love it and they probably will put it up when class starts. Just give them a chance and see how they do and if they have there phones out in class then say no more phones at free time anymore. Would you like to get chance at something that you would probably want? Well think about that for a while. I don't even know why we cant have our phones out at free time seriously we are not doing anything unless we are talking to our friends. So what is they big deal about having our phones out at free time, Do you really want to be rude and makes us wait in till we get out of school before we can use our phones. I just think its a good idea and I hope you do too because its awesome and amazing idea I don't know what other idea can think of.
Well anyways think about what I asked you and see what your answer is, because its not a bad idea about having our phones out at free time. I would be really happy if you did let them and that would make them a hole lot better. I bet if you had a phone when you were little and you wanted it out so you can be on it, but I don't know.

CBB78E310747,"I disagree with this policy because, this would require many more teachers to run clubs, many students would not find any interesting clubs and lastly many students might not have the time. There are many other minuses to this policy, like it would ruin the point of extracurricular activities, they're called extra curricular for a reason. Also, to force so many students to go after school, might be too much, Generic_School, having a little over 1000 thousand students, might be able to accommodate for so much after school, and not all teachers want to host clubs, while some clubs could take on a dozen students many others cannot. So, this policy would waste students and teachers time because, it would ruin the value of the extracurricular, force students that dont have the time to do clubs and extend school time past what it should and needs to be.
To elaborate on why it would ruin the value of extracurricular activities, forcing them to maybe go to the student council or any other club, would ruin the fun of said things, students, most likely might go to a club and sit on their phones. Doing nothing to expand their knowledge, or what this policy is suppose to accomplish, at most it would just waste a lot of peoples time. Extracurricular activities are out of the curriclum, forcing students would accomplish nothing. Some extracurricular activities are not educational, in any way, there is no way to force people to have fun.
To accommodate 500 students in Generic_School is a easy job at school time, but the problem is that not all teachers want to host clubs, and not all clubs/activities have space for so much students than normal. I would say, on average each of the clubs could hold around 20 people, and the current number of clubs is around 10, so 20*10 is 200, and that is about 1/5 of the school, which is definitely not enough to hold 400 students per day. With 3 days to hold clubs after school, it is impossible to expect a perfect 1/3 split between the days. Another point is that, currently, the students have all the clubs they want, because of that, no more clubs would be made with any interest, forcing people to do something will make them do it, but not passionately, like clubs should be ran.
This would waste student and teacher time because, with the two previous reasons, also adding students just doing nothing in said clubs, would make this issue much bigger. There would be clubs that do nothing that would make this policy valuable, also how would they track what students are there, that would also waste time, extracurricular activities are called called extracurricular for the simple reason that they are extra.
To conclude, this policy would waste the time of both staff and students because, it is hard to track whos actually going to clubs, it ruins the value of extracurricular activities, it is hard to accommodate for the extra students. Some extra reasons are, how would this policy be implemented, many teachers might disagree with this policy, and lastly, many students would not have the time.

750AFA674F45,"I think students would not benefit taking online classes or videos conferencing from home. Students not learn to much because they do not receive a good explication about the class as a real teacher would to explains in the school, not have rulers and online classes not catches the students attention.
Students not learn to much taking online class because they need to receive a good explication about the class, as real a teacher explains in the school. For example, if you are a student but you have questions and doubts, but the classes online or videos conferencing does not answer and give you good explications about the class. Would you learn while you are keeping in mind all your questions and doubts? Other reason is that students do not learn taking online classes from home because they get confusion, not understand the class and they give up when nobody help them.
Would you able to do the right thing when there are not rulers taking a class? Electronics devices are the most powerful and useful tools that help us nowadays like cellphones, smartwatch and computers. However, many students are using electronic devices in the wrong way. For example, students that are taking online classes from home, they don't have rulers and they are using their phones to watch movies or texting with friends. This steal the students concentration, while they are taking the online classes. This can not happen during a normal day of school because teachers do not allows students to use electronics devices during class time. But students do not have the same rulers at home that teachers makes at school. This not benefit the knowledge of the students at home.
Online classes or videos conferencing not catchs the students attention like a teacher makes it. For example, if you are taking online classes from home and you are at the midpart of one the lesson but you get hungry then, you left the lesson to get eat. After eat you say, ""I want to go to the park,"" then, you, went to the park, so forged all about your lesson. Would you able to do the same during a normal day of class in the school? A teacher does not allows that a student left the school or to go to the park at the midpart of the class, while he is teaching because he wants to catch your attention to make you to learn more and morer. However, online classes or videos conferencing you can stop it and go or do whatever you want, then you lose knowledge abou it.
Some say that taking online classes or videos conferencing from home is a benefit for students. They are wrong because the students not learn to much and they would have bad grades. Other say that online classes or videos conferencing explain in good details.. They are wrong because real teachers explain better than online class or videos conferencing.

FE0CFF7FA460,"Do you believe that students should be required to participate in an extracurricular activity? This would be a very good thing because it could bring students out of their shell a little bit. If a student doesn't communicate with other kids very much or very well, they could join a club or sports team to be able to talk to people that have a lot of the same interests as they do. For students who go home and play video games and have nothing else to do, they can get out of the house and do sports, or a club. This would also bring out new opportunities for some students who want to do something but haven't looked into it because they just don't know what would be a good fit for them so they never try.
If there's a student who keeps to themselves most of the time, then that's fine, maybe that's just how they are. But if they get to a place where they meet new people and are around them a lot, then they'll begin to talk more, and just be happier in general. If a student doesn't have many friends this could be a great way to let them make some. In an after school club, a sports team, or something else, they're going to meet people they get along very well with. In an after school club, you have fun, and on a sports team there's a certain commaraderie that you don't get many other places.
Being in a school club or sports team will help students find friends with the same interests as them and that goes an extremely long way. Even just having something to talk about with other people that they feel comfortable talking to will make kids not feel lonely and bored because they have people to talk to. By meeting kids this way, the friends they make could eventually introduce them to their friends and then the friend group will continue to grow. By the time you're done with the club or team that you were on, you've met a lot of new people and friends and then over summer they could get together so it's like a gift that keeps on giving becuase the people you met over the school year are still hanging out with you and your other friends. Of course you're not going to like everyone you meet there, but that's just life. You can't expect everyone to like you, or you to like everyone. But you can surely try, by being kind and trying your absolute best to work well with other students.
It could also get many of the inactive kids out of the house. If they sit around bored out of their mind because they have nothing to do, joining a club or team could fix that, this could give them something to do. If they don't like or enjoy going to school, this could give them something to look forward to at the end of the day. Especially with sports teams, they make you keep your grades up in order to be eligable to play or even stay on the team, so this could also encourage kids to keep their grades up. If they play video games the second they get home and do nothing else because they have nothing else to do, this could get them out of the house and get them to be more active.
In conclusion, requiring stuents to participate in an extraccurricular activity could help students in many ways. They will learn better communication skills and also could make new friends. It would help students find other students that have the same interests as eachother. For students who are pretty inactive, this could help them a lot by helping them get out of the house and getting them involved in something. This would also bring up a huge amount of new oppurtunities for the students who want to be involved but haven't really looked into it that much because they don't know what would suit them the best. So why wouldn't this be a good idea? We should definetly make this happen because it could extremely help a lot of students and could impact so many people in so many different ways.",,712,Mandatory extracurricular activities,Independent,"Your principal has decided that all students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity.

0A082DA0A890,"I agree with student taking online classes. Because some student might be to old for then to attend school or do a fulltime school program. By doing online classes. Student will be not worring about attend school on time, if they get sick or have to travel for a emergency happen. They would have the chance of talking with their counselor and talk about sign up for online school. If the teacher give them homework they would have the chance of sending by email.
In other way been able to take classes online, give the student a chance of choosing their own schedule for example, some student might to take classes in the moprning, some student might want to take classes afternoon or at night time. Taking classes online give the student a chance of doing classes in the other side of the country or anywhere. Many student are not able to attend school.
Attending online school give the student the advantage of working or doing their own projects at home for example student won't relay on school supplies. Students by taking classes online benefits then, because some student have two jobsor lives to far, and they are to old for attending school.
For the students that have two jobs. They get the chance to use there work break to take some classes, test, or even quizzes. For example in my side of the story if my school would give online i would be able to have to jobs and support my family paying some bills. For other student have the same problem.
In my conclusion taking classes online benefits the student in many different ways. for example by choosing their opwn schedule, by given then the opportunity of doing their own things, by giving then a aesier way to learn, by showing then that they are adults now and demostrating and teaching to do take the right choose.

0FDE661EB51E,"Emotions and being able to recognize them when they occur have a lot to do with our human ability to learn and pick up information. if perhaps, one is feeling confused, it would be much harder for them to be able to retain information being thrown at them. we see this a lot in the educational environment. At school, students must be attentive and ready to learn before they are actually able to start the process of learning. This goes hand-in-hand with the idea that schools, as well as the education system shoud pay more attention to students' emotions towards subjects, contrasting enthusiasm to pick up a new idea with boredom followed by inability to focus. This being said, the new software being used to detect emotion from facial expressions could be a rather helpful tool in the everyday classroom for years to come.
Every student has a different set of feelings, all are complex creatures with opinions on subjects that could differentiate them from one another. Some are better at learning subjects they are more interested in while others have the ability to devote time into learning any subject that school has to throw at them. The point remaining is that none are the same and so, teaching methods for students should become more indivualized to fit each students unique learning style and ability. It is possible that the computerized Facial Action Coding System could aid in the process of making these learning styles more fit for each student rather than just having them for the masses. ""A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored,' Dr. Huang predicts, 'then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor."" Having a computer monitor to read emotions from facial expressions could display to teachers how each student reacts to the information that they are learning, allowing teachers to make adjustmants in their teaching styles where they see fit. This could give students the ability to learn more effectively for their feelings towards subjects as they are personalized based on reaction as they continue.
The Facial Acting Coding System is a very complex process consisting not only of computer scientists but also of a team of psychologists using expertise to read peoples' emotions through their faces, using scientific evidence along the way. This could mean that, while it is a newer system, it is a well-proven one, making the classroom a good place to continue perfecting it. ""The facial expression for each emotion are universal,' observes Dr. Huang, 'even though individuals ofren show varying degrees of expression' (like not smiling as broadly). Using video imagery, the new emotion-recognition software tracks these facial movements- in a real face or in the painted face of Monda Lisa. By weighting the different units, the software can even identify mixed emotions (as in Davinci's masterpiece). Each expression is compared against a neutral face (showing no emotion)."" This line from the informative piece displays the process of determining emotions through computer technologies. It shows that it is well-tested and understood by its administrators as well as those in support of it, gaining it credibility as a method tested and used. this means that, while it is a newer technology, it could be used in the classrooms to continue to perfect the software by gaining more facial expressions from students, making it even more effective for its participants.
While the software detecting facial expressions is a good idea for countless reasons, it also has a few downfalls. One disadvantage of this technology could be its lack of other uses besides reading emotions of students as far as classrooms go. Some may argue that installation of this likely pricey software would not be worth the pay or the hassle of overall installation. To this, one could argue that allowing students to have a more personalized appraoch to learning should be enough to convince those against it that it is worthwhile. Students being able to learn in an environment as well as manner specifically tailored to their indivual learning abilities and styles will benefit us as a society not only in the future, as today's current students become tomorrow's important business officials and doctors, but also currently, as these students will have less stress devoted to worrying about trying to learn something they are disinterested in or simply don't understand. Altogether, the good outweigh the bad in this current argument.
Computerized sytems used to understand and display human emotions do belong in today's classroom. The benefits of this approach are numerous for both teachers and students being effected as well as for the future when these students are more outspoken, functioning members of society. This can be displayed that, not only would these systems help students to become more able and excited to learn in their own way, but it would also allow teachers to more effectively complete their jobs by editing approaches to learning to fit each student's individual syle and ability. It is also a well-understood and well backed-up process with scientific study allowing direct research to show its credibiltiy. Having students using this technologuy could also allow for the technology to become more credible as more emotions of individuals are entered into the technology. Finally, the price of these systems would not matter in the long-run as this would be money invested into the future of society as these students grow with a solid, quality education. Altogether, the good outweigh all the downfalls in this experiment and it should be introduced into classrooms in the following years to improve the quality of education.

""It can be argued that the
Electoral College method of selecting the president may turn off potential voters for a candidate who has no hope of carrying thier state-Democrats in Texas, for example, or Republicans in California. Knowing their vote will have no effect, they have less incentive to pay attention to the campaign than they would have if the president were picked by popular vote.... But of course no voter's vote swings a national election, and in spite of that, about on-half the eligible American population did vote in [2012's] election.

If the president was elected by popular vote then the voting would truly be up to the people and not electoral votes given to each state. that puts a limit on it. If the president was choosen by a popular vote then it would be more of a demacratic society like we are expose to be. A Electoral college is not democratic at all the people aren't voting for the president directly and they dont even use the peoples votes in the count. If they do they count it less then they do when the state representitives elect the president. the only true way to see ""what the people want"" is by switching to only a popular vote: it is ran by the people, voted by the people, based by the people. haven't you ever heard the term "" Give the people what they want.""? Well what are we waiting for? It's time to change our voiting systems and fast before we hit a whole in the Electoral College. The constitution states ""We the People"", what happened to the people when it comes to voting, we get to vote but we aren't voting for the president (directly) like they have the U.S. citizens thinking. We are voting for someone to hopefully vote for our choice. My only question to you senator is, why hasn't the Electoral College been abolished yet? The people even know that their vote will have no effect right now, like it says in paragraph 23, source 3 ""knowing their vote will have no effect.""

Also , this will be a fun activity that everyone will enjoy around the world.
In addition , you wouldnt really need summer school anymore for some other students. This can provide them too move up to the next grade level by providing them with these school projects. All you gotta do is give them a topic about what they did over summer and it can most likely make them succeed , all they gotta do is provide pictures , details , and have something too do with the subjects that they learn in school such as english , math , and science included in the project. it can bring us all together and closer as a school if we did something like this.
Furthermore , you can even provide a reward when school starts again.

TEACHER_NAME,
I am a student of SCHOOL_NAME Middle school and I think that every student should participate in community service. Community service is a great way for students to learn respect of not only their community but the planet as well.
I'm sure they will think twice before littering if they clean up trash or learn to be responsible if they help out at the local animal shelter. This can teach the students so many things while helping the community. If every student participated in community service then maybe at the end of the year we could have a fun day. We could have something like a carnival or let the students vote and pick a fun day activity. This kind of school activity would motivate the students to get out and be active in the community.
If you just show everyone how fun it can be then maybe kids would be more inspired to get out and even take their friends and parents to help out the community. If our school can't do community service then maybe we could at least start recycling which does still help out the community but we wouldn't have leave the classroom.

44564292521C,"Politicians and the public have argued for years over one burning question: Should the Electoral College be discontinued? I believe the Electoral College should not be used in the United States anymore. To understand the faults within this system, one must understand the system at its basic level. The Electoral College is a system that consists of 538 electors. Each state has a different amount of electors, granted on the size of that state's population. When the election is held, the voter votes for the electors, not the candidate directly.
The first fault one can find while examining this system is the ""winner takes all"" policy that most states have. In paragraph seven of the first souce, the article states, ""Most states have a ""winner-takes-all"" system that awards all electors to the winning presidental candidate."" This system seems unfair, especially in states where the vote for electors is won by a small margin. The votes cast for the candidate who lot the electoral votes in their state are not counted in choosing the president, which hinders the ideals of democracy in this country. In paragraph nine of the second source, the article reads,"" according to a Gallup poll in 200, taken shortly after Al Gore, thanks to the quirks of the Electoral College, won the popular vote but lost the presidency."" This crisis in 2000, when George W. Bush won the electoral college, but Al Gore won the popular vote, displays the lack of clarity with this system. This election was a prime example that the president is not chosen by the popular voice, but rather by the Electoral College, which does not accurately represent everyone.
The second fault with Electoral College stems from the first issue: people are not voting beacuse they feel as if their voice is not being heard. Stated as a counterargument in paragraph 23 of source three, the article states, ""It can be argued that the Electoral College method...may turn off potential voters for a candidate who has no hope for carrying their state - Democrats in Texas, for example, or Republicans in California."" People are choosing not to vote because they feel as if their voice is being shadowed by the major polictical thinking in their state, and this mindset corrupts the institution of democracy in the United States.
An argument made by those in favor of the Electoral College can found in paragraph 20 of source three, ""Voters in toss up states are more likely to pay attention to the campaign...They are likely to be the most thoughtful voters, on average and the most thoughtful voters shoule be the ones to decide the election."" This argument is opinionated and has no substantial evidence behind it. According to source 2 in paragraph 13, ""During the 2000 campaign, seventeen states didn't see the candidates at all."" This was due to the candidates spending their time, money, and efforts to win over ""swing states"", the states that could go either Republican or Democrat depending on the candidates that year.
The Electoral College is a system that should not be used anymore because it does not properly consider the opinions of all voters, turns away voters who believe they will not have their voices heard, and leave states without seeing ads or candidates during the election because these candidates are trying to win over other states.

ED9D9110D244,"Space is an interesting and confusing large mass of black with so much in it to explore. Who wouldn't want the opportunity to explore it? The author of
""The Challenge of Exploring Venus"" is very for the exploration of Venus. Venus is a planet in our solar system. It is sometimes called the evening star because it is one of the brightest points in the night sky or it is called Earth's twin due to similarity in density and size. We also dont know much about Venus because it is very dangerous due to very hot temperatures and many other things. But exploring it would be very worth it. Studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents beacause human curiosity will lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors, we could get more insight about Venus, and our travels on Earth, and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts.
One reason that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents is beacuse human curiousity will lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors. Who knows, human curiousity and advancing in technology could lead us to any other planet in our solar system. The more we know about life the more we can explore. In the story it says, "" These differences in speed mean that sometimes we are closer to Mars and other times to Venus."" If we explore Venus we can most definitely explore Mars as well.
Another reason that studying Venus is worthy is beacuse we can get more insight about Venus. We need more information about Venus because it is Earth's sister planet. The more we understand Venus the easier it will be to understand space. In the text it says, "" If our sister planet is so inhospititable, why are scientists even discussing further visits to its surface"" This could possibly mean we could live on Venus someday. That would be a major benefit if anything ever happened to Earth.
The third reson that studying Venus is worthy despite the dangers is because our travels on earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubt. If we don't explore there is no explanations to peoples questions. Everyday we risk our lives because we never know what can happen. We shouldn't limit our decisions and our exploration based on fear. In the text it says "" just as ariplanes travel at a high altitude"" which means that it wouldnt be anything super unsafe to hover above Venus so why not try and do it.
In conclusion, studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents.
If we explored it human curiousity will lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors, we could learn more about venus, and our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by our dangers and doubts. Venus is a planet that is very close and similar to Earth why should we not explore it?

4ED769B5CE44,"Do you believe projects in the summer be teacher designed or student designed? Well from my point of view, as a junior at Generic_School. I feel like all summer projects should be designed by a teacher if you wanna boost their learning through the break. One way you can prove that is, when a teacher may teach you information that you never heard of before. Unlike having to something you already know.
First for instance, if your teacher gives you a project it can be beneficial many ways. You may be learning something that you haven't learned before, and could be learning it in one of your subjects when you get back to school, so when you learn about that topic in a period you would be ready, cause you was provided with information you learned during the summer that teacher taught you. Also, some students prefer being given directional instructions while during an assignment. It helps them because everything is there for them because the teacher them with instructions to complete the project.
However, they're some ways kids benefit from having their own designed project. This includes,kids or teens may not have financial they need for the projects teachers instruct them during the summer.
Also, when they come back to school during the summer they can teach one another something new during things like presentations and etc. Another reason why student should design their summer project, is because students may not feel confront able with the project the teacher assigned them, and are more likely to do better with something they already know.
So through all these details, what do you believe should students design their own projects during the summer or should the teachers design them. Like said teachers provide some students with information they never heard or ever learned.

83FA1948A3F4,"""Everybody has a special talent."" I agree that everyone that goes to the school should participate in at least one extracurricular activity. When students participate in extracurricular activities, it could give them a subject to start thinking about, or even doing in school. For example every spring since I have been in third grade I have ran track for my school track team. When I started running track I didn't think I would enjoy it as much as I thought, but then when I started running I then knew that that was what I wanted to do all throughout grade school. When you participate in an extracurricular activity it may lead you too get a scholarship of the collage of your choice, it can help you to see what subject your passionate in, and it can help relax you.
Most of the time when people apply for a collage, the person or people interviewing you may ask if you do any sports or an extracurricular activity. When you are getting interviewed for collage, most of the time the interviewers not only look at your grades and GPA, but they look to see if you do any sports or activities inside or outside of school. Being apart of a sport or activity inside or even outside of school is very important too collages. Collages look too see if you do any sports or activities, because they want to see if you are active in your school or even your community. Being active in your school can be as simple as doing a sport like track or volleyball, or doing a club or activity like art or a cooking club.
Finding out what one of your talent is could be one of the most exciting thing. Finding a sport or activity that you really enjoy, may be that subject you may want to stick with the rest of your life. It's good to start thinking about an extracurricular activity when your young, so when you get older you may be easier for you too accomplish. Knowing how to do an activity or sport at a young age is a good exposure too a young child, so thy have time too get to know the sport at their elementary school or there preschool. Getting exposed to an activity or sport, can also be a good opportunity to get exercise.
When you come home from school sometimes you may not want to start your homework right away, because you've been surrounded by school work all day from school. Taking a break and doing something after school that you love, can relax you, and take your mind off of the thing that stresses you the most. Sometimes when there's a test the next day, some people stress and worry about how they are going to do on the test. Doing something that you know that will relax you, may help you on the test. Studies show that when people take breaks in between studying may lead to success on a test and help to stay focused.
In conclusion, doing an extracurricular activity may lead to success later in life. Other than getting a job, learning how to do a extracurricular activity my be on of the most important things that happen in your life time. Extracurricular activities could help you with going to collage and even getting a scholarship. Staying after school before starting your homework could be something you try to do twice a week, so there won't be any stress. What sport or activity would you want to do in your school?

11F755EAC4A3,"The author of ""The Challenge of Exploring Venus"", brings the reader to light on the argument on whether or not scientist should keep trying land spacecrafts or humans on Venus.
An arguement can be made for either side and is just a matter of opionion.
The author conveys her opionion well in the passages, but she doesn't make a compelling case for her side of the argument. The author doesn't give enough reasonable support to back up her claims.
To begin with, the amount of danger that is on Venus's surface and atmosphere poses too big of a challenge for scientists to reasonably accomplish. As it says in the passage, Venus is converes in almost 97% carbon dioxide and the temperature and pressure arounf 90 times greater than what we usually experience on Earth, making Venus's surface temperature around 800 degree. If anyone probes that touchdown on Venus don't get destoyed by any of those, there's a likely chance it'll get destroyed by its frequent lighting storms, earthquakes and volcanoes.
The author claim to the soultion to these challenges are also highly unrealistic. The author states that humans can explore Venus by contructing a vehicle that hovers 30+ miles above the surface. The author gives this solution but doesn't give any support to how it will be accomplished and doesn't give answer to questions like, ""How will they transport a blimp to Mars?"", "" How they enter Mars atmophere without landing first?"" or ""What will power this?"" (If it's constantly in the air that will takeup a lot of fuel.)
One last backset to the author's plan is, how will it be funded? The bills will start racking up everytime a probe is destroyed by Venus's surface and they have to spend millions of more dollars building and sending another spacecraft to Venus. No countries or companies want to spend billions of dollars on a mission that they mat have a chancce of lerning some information about Mars.

BAA77B0FC943,"Dear Senator ,
I personally think that the electoral college should not be abolished. Yes some things are unfair for example : voters don't vote for the president directly and the fact that voters can't always control whom their electors vote for . That's life though , life is unfair to everyone . Instead of shutting the whole electoral college down , they should try to improve it so the voters can be satisfied . The electoral college plays a big part in the voting process. Although there are many unfair things the electoral college helps. The president should be elected by the electors because they know more than the amount of people who voted for them so they could elect the president. I believe that the voting process is not as simple as it looks , it's more complicated then that , it might seem simple to us but complicated to others. The voting process would be harder without the electoral college and the citizens won't have anyone or anything to guide them. A lot of us don't really know about politics , the real side of the candidate shows when he become the president , the electors can already start to see the real side of the candidate even though he's not the president. The citizens need a group of people to guide them in the right direction so they won't regret the choices that they made . Yes the electoral college has a few negative things but it's for the best. In my opinion electoral college should continue because overall this process helps a lot. Instead of stating the wrong facts about the electoral college , we should all try to make it a better process so all the people who think it's unfair think otherwise.
I genuinely think that this process is for the best and I hope that you will think about everything I just said and try to improve this good process.

25FCAC7AE925,"I personally think every kid should do some sort of extracurricular activity,for one the activities could help them find new friends,they can look good on college resumes,and all around make the persons' school experience better. The first reason is that extracurricular activities can help students find new friends. This is what happens normally when playing sports,because everyone playing that sport has to play as a team. The next example is that participating in an extracurricular activity can look good on college resumes. If you play a sport or are in a club and stay committed to it, that is what colleges look for. The last example is the activities someone takes part in,can help them through the rest of the year. Clubs or participating on school council can make your year more interesting,because you almost always have something to look forward to.
The first part of my examples I want to talk about, is that the activity you pick can possibly assist you in finding a new friend. For instance if you play a sport,then that means you play with at least 10 other people. Therefore you will have to work as a team,or else you guys wouldn't win much. That is why there is practices,because the coaches are trying to get you and your teammates used to playing alongside each other. You start to know each other better and better as the season goes on and by the end of the year,a person you played with could become a close friend. Another example would be if you are in a school club, you will work along side others which could spark a friendship down the line. This is also the case when you are on student council you work with others for a lot of if not the whole year. Besides those examples there are so many more extracurricular activities that could help you find new friends. That was multiple reasons how you could make new friends during extracurricular activities.
The second point I have stated could be the most important in someone's life,the example is that if you participate in any sort of activity for your school would look good on your college resume. This is a great example of why you should do extracurricular things in school, and stay committed with it. For example if you play football for your whole high school and middle school career and stay with it,in turn colleges will see that you were physically and mentally committed to something and possibly could accept you. Therefore if there are bigger colleges wanting to accept you,where if you graduate it could turn into a very good paying job,you have a great future ahead of you. Those were just a few of my reasonings why extracurricular activities would look good on college resumes.
The third and final example of why you should do extra activities for your school is it can make your whole school experience better. Specifically in sports when you have a game on a school day. When you get to the school in the morning on game day it goes by really quick,because you have something you are looking forward to do. This can also happen when you have a club party,fundraisers,or any special event for your club or sport. In any instance you are looking forward to having fun out of school with your classmates/club members or your teammates. That is also another great place to make friends whether its a chill hang out with your teammates or it is a special event for your club you still can make friends in either situation,which could lead to you and your new friend to hang out more in school, that would also make the school day more enjoyable. Those were my reasons why people should do activities so it could make them like school more.
People should participate in extracurricular activities because they can,make new friends,have a good college resume,and make school a lot more enjoyable. The first reason is so they can make new friends,which this happens in any kind of activity you do. The second is it would look good on a college resume,more clubs you join the more colleges look at you. The third and final reason is so it can make school more fun and enjoyable,it can be because you made a new friend or if you are waiting on a special event. The whole idea of school is to set yourself up for success and joining clubs,doing sports or any other activity can help you in doing that. Granted you might not make it in the best college but at least you won't regret doing the extracurricular activities you did and had fun doing them.",,777,Mandatory extracurricular activities,Independent,"Your principal has decided that all students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity.

567BBCE898DA,"Dear Florida State senator,
I am in favor of changing the election by popular vote for the president of the united states. Changing the election by popular vote is more efficient than the electoral college process. Inputing this into the political voting system would enhance the voting process making it less difficult to deal with, get rid of the electoral college and its faults, and get the U.S citizens opinion on who the president should be and not just the electors voting for the president.
As you are already of aware of, the electoral college is the process where it consists of the selection of the electors, the meeting of the electors where they vote for President and the Vice President, and the counting of the electoral votes by congress. By the explanation of what the electoral college is, you and I and many others can conclude that this process takes too much work;much more work than really does need to be put into place. Even though most Americans aren't aware of that when they are electing for their choice of the president they comprimise with the most, they are really voting for electors to vote who the next president will be. It's not fair and it's not right.
While reading an article about the electoral college(by Brad Plumer), I noticed that the electoral college system has numerous instances of it that make it wrong. While in place Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Bob Dole, and the U.S. chamber of commerce all agreed on abolishing the electoral college; And I compromise with this agreement because it is completely accurate and make sense as to why these political figures wanted to rid of the electoral college. This is called a ""Disaster Factor"" according to paragraph 11 in the article ""The Indefinsible Electoral College"" meaning that the state legislatures are literally responsible for picking electors, and that those electors could always defy the will of the people. How wrong is this? Also given that so many voter vote for one party for president and another for congress, the House of Representatives' selection can hardly be expected to reflect the will of the people.
In source 3 of the article, it was very precise on as to why the electoral college should no take place. Our country has both republicans and democrats. Not all democrats have the same opinions as republicans, and not all republicans have the same thoughts as democrats. According to paragraph 15, the Electoral college is widely regarded as anachronism, which is a non-democratic method of selecting a president that should be overruled by declaring the candidate who recieves the most popular votes is the winner. This is not fair to people who are democrats. The electoral system is obviously based off of mostly and strictly Republican beliefs. The voting process should be based on just republican bias, but also democrat bias. It's as if the democrats thoughts mean nothing. Paragraph 19 made a claim that Republican bias is baed strictly off of the region in which on lives, because majority of Reoublicans live in the southern states of the U.S. This makes other people(No party, Democrats, etc.) that are inhabited in othe regoins of the U.S. feel disenfranchised and feel as if their votes do not count, that the new president will have no regard for their intrests, and that this person is not really their president.
The article gave me an outlook of what the electoral college really is and how it works. The electoral college is not a fair process at all, and it is way the complicated for the people involved in some political job that is involved with the president, it is hard on the citizens that live in this country that have an idea of what president they want to vote for, and it is hard on us as a nation. The election process should be changed by the process of popular vote of the country's citizens. The electoral college is unfair, outdated and irrational. The electoral college needs to be abolished as soon as possible. Please take this into high consideration.

D6D4A77F4AAA,"Presidential election is held every after four years on the first Monday of the month November. We decide who's going to be our next leader, the President. Electoral College is kind of unfair for some people because they think that whoever got the most popular vote should be President. But to think, what if the people we vote to is not right to be the next President and she/he got that most popular vote? Wouldn't that be a disaster? I say we should keep the Electoral College.
Electoral College process in consists of the electors that have been selected by the people. The ones who got selected are the ones with great intelligence and with great sense of leadership. In the first passage it mentioned that ""The Electoral College has a total of 538 electoras and the majority of electoral votes are required to have 270 electoral votes."" This means that for you to be one of the candidates you atleast have to have 270 electoral votes and this is a good way of picking our candidates to run for us for President.
Remember the election between Obama and Romney? It was close but, not that close. Our President, Obama got 61.7 percent of the electoral vote compared to 51.3 percent of the popular votes for him and Romeny. Almost of every states electoral votes is on a ""winner-take-all"" basis. For every slight of pulrality in each of the states, it creates a ""landslide electoral-vote"". This means that a tie would be possible because the number 538 votes is uneven but, it's mostly not to happen and this is because of Electoral College.
Electoral College avoids the problem of which didn't receive a majority of the votes. In passage three it gave an example about how Nixon in 1968 and Clinton in 1992 both had 43 percent only in pluraity of the popular votes and the winning number of the Electoral College is 301 and 370 electoral votes. Because of Electoral College the pressure that happens in electing the next President to lead us for four years is reduced and it also tells us which is the winner of the election.
If we elect our President using popular votes it migh be a disaster. Because not all of the candidates are that great of leading the whole country and If he/she got selected to be our next leader for the next four years our country would be in a huge chaos. I slightly agree with electing that person and making him/her the next President because they got the most popular votes but, then again I don't think it's the right way of picking our new leader.

F65618376429,"I think the idea of ""driverless""'cars might not actually be such a bad idea. I mean what could be any better? A car you get into and it will take you wherever you desire? Driverless cars could have less accidents, save gas, and maybe even get people where they need to be quicker.
Theoretically thinking, a driverless vehicle could potentially cause a lot less trouble than a vehicle with a human driver. Sometimes, humans don't tend to make the best choices ever. Every year many people die because of drunk drivers alone. Many people also die just because some idiot decided they didn't need to pay attention, that text was just too important or than phone call may have been too important. More important than someones life of course. With driverless cars they would not have to worry about any of that, as long as they knew where they were going the car would get them there and back safely.
What's even better than a car you don't have to worry about driving? A car you don't have to worry about driving, while saving gas. According to the text, Mr Sergey Brin forsees cars that would use half the fuel that taxis use in todays world. Even if it wasnt much, if you add up everyone that rides taxis it accumulates and eventually everyones contributing to the problem. So a car that could use only half of the gas we use today, like is there any reason to say no to these cars?
Many people almost never get anywhere on time, some may have too much going on some might just not care. Whatever the case may be, what if these driverless cars could get you wherever you needed to be in the quickest way possible while not breaking the law. The driverless car could get you where you need to get by taking the quickest route possible. With all the advanced technology being promised the car could know whats ahead of it and if it will slow your trip down. For example if the car knows that up ahead is construction zone where you would have to slow down and waste time, it could just take a more efficient way and eventually save you time.
Driverless cars, hopefully soon, will no longer be a thing of the past. With technology just advancing without stopping i think soon driverless cars would just be another normal vehicle you see on the road. To me driverless cars would be an astounding idea.

4237C276C527,"I am for the development of driverless cars. I think it would be cool if we had cars that did the work for us. They are just like smart phones in a way. However I don't think we should completely have no control over the car. People may start thinking that they can do whatever while the driving is in progress. That is not the case. Drivers should still pay attention to the road as if they were normally driving. Driverless cars will benefit us in a positive way.
One reason why i am for driverless cars is for the disabled people who can't drive like others can. Those people deserve a way to get around town too. Another reason why i think having driverless cars is a good idea is because of the simple fact that it is an option. People can buy a driverless car but still take over if they want to or need too. Another good reason for having driverless cars is for long distance drives. Sometimes flying a plane to a far destination is too expensive but if a car could take people long distance to where they need to go without themselves having to drive such a long way it would be more easier for themselves. The only concern with driverless car would be ""Who is at fault"" but that could be easily depicted i'm sure.
Driverless cars would benefit us greatly. It shows no harm to anybody who would like to have no driver. For all the reasons previously stated it is a good idea to have driverless cars.

965C95685E5C,"Throughout my adolescent past, I've had a vigorous number of summer assignments. Whether it was a Algebra 1 packet or a summer reading assignment, teachers never fail to overwhelm there students with work before the year even begins. Most summer assignments are enforced by the teachers and lack any student input. A majority of students show little interest in the assignments they are presented and approach the work with a negative attitude rather than optimism. Although a student-designed summer project is a chance for students to exhibit there work in a more enjoyable fashion, a teacher-designed project would work better because teachers understand what work will best prepare students and shows the type of projects teachers will assign in the future.
A reason why teachers should design the projects is because they understand what work will best prepare students. Many teachers have attained an advanced education in there subject. Unlike the students, the teacher knows exactly what the course will consist of, and the level of difficulty that they will cover. In most classes, students start the year with no prior knowledge of the subject they will cover. An example of there unpreparedness is that large portions of high school students switch out of classes because they don't know the level of the work that they will be covering. A student led project could be void of any important information. If they find an area of the subject thats more difficult than the others, they could address that area more than another part of the subject. Assignments created by teachers would be a prime opportunity for teachers to demonstrate the work they will cover, and help a student drop the class if the work seems too challenging. A summer assignment is before the year starts, so switching your classes wouldn't interrupt your school year.
Another reason teachers should design the projects is because it shows what type of assignments will follow in the future. Teachers are a people of habit. Throughout the year, they will assign projects that are very similar to each other, following similar guidelines. An example of repetition in school is teachers assigning a variation of slide show presentations. Throughout the school year, many teachers conduct slide show presentations within new concepts. If a student were to design the summer project, it could be an entirely different format then any format suggested by a teacher. With the teacher in control, they could give you a project very similar to one that you may face in the future.
Many believe that if enjoy what your doing, than you will be more productive. A student getting to choose what type of project they will do could introduce the topic in more exciting manner. While enjoying what you do is important, it may also not prepare a student to the best of it's capabilities. A student led project may not cover the ground that it needs to cover. For example, the students could decide to write a one paragraph reflection on an area of the subject that they found interesting. The problem with that format is that it may only tackle a small portion of the subject, and you wouldn't be able to reflect on what others found interesting, which would help you remember the information better.
The teachers should design the project that the students work on. They know what work will best to prepare students and help them succeed. Teachers understand the subject far greater than any student designing the project. A more rigorous area of the subject could be addressed more in the project. If the teacher creates all of the future projects, than the summer project could reflect the type of projects teachers will assign in the future. Repetition is prominent within classrooms, and a summer assignment created by the teacher could offer incite into future projects. With a student in control of the project, they may only address a small area of the subject that will come up later in the year. While a student-designed summer project can make there work more enjoyable, a teacher-designed project would be better for students, because teachers understand what will prepare them best and is a way to discover the type of projects teachers will assign in the future.

5.46E+11,"To Mr. Principal
I think that doing community service is a good thing and every one should do it, know i can get friends and people to help out to keep are community clean. So we don't hurt our planet, animals, and other things like our population . I think that the principle should acquire kids, teens, and adults to do so that nothing ever happens.
People all over the world should do community service because what would happen our fish die because some of us don't pick up after ourselves and the population goes down in poler bears, pelicans, and all sorts of nice loving veracious animals; because we don't make sure our rode' s, rivers, lakes, animals die so i' m saying everyone should pitch in at one time like on weekends or everyday so we don't loose a whole population because of it.
So Mr. Principle I'm saying that all people weather its student, parents, boys, girls, anybody and everyone should help pick up. know if people like bullies and rude and discourteous people don't help then they should have the right to choose or decide what they want to weather its to help or to not help, but remember if they don't or if they do they do its not our choice if they want to live in a bad or good community their the ones that want to be dirty and disgusting people not us.
So I'm saying yes you should require all students to pitch in and help keep our community clean, and who would want to live in a dirty or unclean place..... not me so Mr. Principle you should do what's right. ",,282,Community service,Independent,"Some of your friends perform community service. For example, some tutor elementary school children and others clean up litter. They think helping the community is very important. But other friends of yours think community service takes too much time away from what they need or want to do.

8E73ED6F2FCC,"Did you know a recent study showed that 67 percent of high school graduates wish they could have been more involved with their school? Well it's true. Most schools always provide extra activities and ways to help out your community through your school so why shouldn't we take advantage of that? Being forced to take those extra circulars will help students who didnt know those were an option, open their eyes to a new world of possibilities and fun. Staff should require students to take extra circular activities with the school.
These activities will help students create great, new, long lasting friendships! Say you just moved to my school and you have very little to no friends, doing these extra activities will help introduce you to new people. When you sign up for something that you enjoy spending your time on, and you meet people there, why not be friends with them? You are building a relationship with people who enjoy the same things as you!
Even if you may not want to sign up for a extra activities, you may end up liking it. When your doing these clubs/activities/extra circulars, they could become your new hobby. Sammy Maple, soccer player for the Men's U.S. Soccer Team, said that he was first introduced to soccer at a young age because his elementary school asked everyone one sign up for a club, and he chose soccer club. From then on, Sammy kept playing and practicing and soon everyone around him saw the pure gift he had for the sport. You can benefit from these opportunities provided through your school in so many ways.
Being required to take extra circulars can help you build skills. Skills for the workplace, for a future job, or even people skills. In dog walking club we have to make fliers to promote our club so we get clients. I was in charge of making them, hanging them up, and handing them out to people. When making them I learned not to be to wordy with the fliers so they are easy to ready. Next, I learned that when you hand them out, never give them out to people who are not aware of their surroundings. For example do not bombard someone who is on the phone to give them one of your beautifully made fliers. I can use that information if I would ever want to pursue the job of being a sales person or a graphic designer. These are things they can not teach you in any regular science or math class. These activities teach you valuable things.
I have come to see that most people will say that we should not be required to take extra circulars because they take too much energy away from us that could be used in school. Mostly student who are in the more active sports clubs have said this. I disagree with their claim because there are so many different types of clubs and activities you can choose from. If you find yourself having no energy to do homework because you are in the basketball club, maybe you could join the homework club and then play basketball at home with the energy you saved. If you stayed up late the night before and don't have the energy to participate in volleyball club, then you can join the craft club and sit around while painting. There should be no reason that you wouldnt want to join one of the many amazing clubs!
Getting involved with your school is a very important part of your education and can be very beneficial. University of South Carolina of computer math conducted a survey on how many of their 4 year graduates participated in more than 3 extra circulars throughout their high school career. Over 93 percent said yes and the other 7 percent claimed they were part of a home school group. As you can see, that 93 percent definitely got the benefits from those extra circulars.
A take away from reading my essay should be that the school system, and staff have your best interest in mind and want to help. They should do their part in helping us get the best out of our education and require us do take extra circulars.",,696,Mandatory extracurricular activities,Independent,"Your principal has decided that all students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity.

70D2F22E29D4,"Do you think that students should participate in at least one extracurricular activity? I think students should participate in one after school activity. I agree because after school activities keep students busy, they can be fun, and they can help students later on in life.
First , I agree because the activties keep students busy. Instead of the students going home to play, they can stay after school and participate in different activites. Students will continue to learn about new things. In school, I decided to do band after school. I enjoy that activity and I learned how to play new instruments.
Next , I agree because the activities can be fun for students. The activites can be fun because the students can participate in different clubs like art, cooking, gardening, boys and girls, and drama. Students can also have time to talk and laugh with their friends. My friend and I have been going to the boys and girls club. We have a lot of fun and weôve met new people.
Finally , I agree because the activities can help the students later on in life. Some students may want to participate in different sports like football, basketball, baseball, soccer, and volleyball. And other activities like cheer, step, band, and dance. If the students participate in these activities in school, then theyôll have a better experience with it years later.

0DD93F825FD7,"The education system is always trying to find new ways to improve the how kids learn and how efficiently the kids learn. With the evolution of technology, it has given the education system new ways to improve how students learn and interact with their teachers or professors on a day to day basis. Schools are now beginning to teach classes online to students and it may be more beneficial the one may think. Students can heavily benefit from online learning and attending classes from because, it can help students focus more on their learning, it can allow teachers to be more available for their students, and it can help those that dont live close enough to an actual school still get an education.
Online classes and learning from home can help students focus and buckle down on their education. For example, Generic_Name is a Junior in high school which means its an important year for her to be focused on her classes and how she is doing in them. But, Generic_Name has just gone through a break up with her boyfriend and had issues with some of her friends. Its now all that can think about and her mind starts to drift when ever she is in class which is affecting her grades. Students in school deal with drama on a day to day basis and it can affect them to the point that they arent focused on their classes at all. The only thing they think and talk about is whatever drama is going on in their social life. When they are being taught at home, they do not have to worry about whatever someone else is doing because they are in their own home one on one with a teacher which will allow them to be more focused at the task at hand which is their education. Another way online education can help kids focus is, if the have any issues in dealing with people. Generic_Name has severe social anxiety and suffers from panic attacks and shakiness whenever she as around too many people that she does not know. She can not focus in class because she is to busy dealing with how she feels about the pressure from being in school and being around a lot of people can be a detriment to her education. There are many people who deal with social anxiety or other social disabilities. With online at home classes it can prevent any social issues and help those kids focus. Overall, students being focused is one of the main keys to getting a proper education and anyway to improve that and prevent a loss of focus is a good thing.
Attending classes from home can also allow teachers to be more available to their students and can be there for students based on the students schedule. Generic_Name Plays basketball for a travel league and they practice everyday from 3pm-5pm so as soon as school ends for him he has to go home get dressed and start making his way to the location of his practice. But if he needed help on a topic that he did not understand in class then he can not necessarily stay after school to ask a teacher a question or get extra help. In an online school system teachers can be available for help at basically anytime if a student needs to have a conference or video call with them. They do what they can based around a students schedule so that they can better help the student. Another way online school allows teachers to be more available is when, a student may need help while studying late night. Sometimes they run into questions on homework or other practices given to them that they struggle to understand. Teachers can take the time to help them understand so that they can feel confident in their answers. Teachers in online school compared to normal school provide a lot more availability to their students which can be beneficial any many situations students go through outside of their education.
Lastly, online school from home can be beneficial to those that miss school for reasons such as being sick or traveling. Generic_Name had to miss several days of school because he got had a really bad fever and while he was gone his teacher had already gone through a whole unit of material that will be difficult to catch up on. If was doing online school he could take the classes while sick because he'll still be at his house. Therefore, he will not have to play catch up on any assignments or notes he missed. He will have them all at the click of a mouse and hes at the same pace as everyone else. Another example is how you can still take all your classes while on a trip. Generic_Name had to go go Florida to visit her grandmother for her birthday but she left on Thursday. While she was away she missed a test and 2 quizzes from her classes that she will have to make up when she gets back to school. This means she will stress out about the material that will be on said tests and quizzes while trying to be on vacation with her family and she may even forget to study for it at all. With the easy accessibility of online classes students can take tests or quizzes on the go while they are traveling. Even if they forget to take it while traveling the can study with the notes and topics they already received from online sessions so students do not also have to worry about bringing study materials with them. The flexibility with online classes to help kids learn no matter where they are is surely an advantage and a benefit to all students.
Many people may argue that online school could be too lenient for students and will not emphasize deadlines, can teach kids the same social skills that being in an actual school would, or that online school doesnt place as many responsibilities on students as normal schools. Online classes can make eliminate distractions making it easier to focus, give students more opportunities to get help form teachers, and help out those who may be sick travel when there are important things going on. Over all online classes at home give the same information and teach the same curriculum as normal public schools with giving added benefit of flexibility. This could be the new standard for how classes are taught in the world today.",,1085,Distance learning,Independent,Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing.

61D5DB6C54F7,"Everyone loves the summer, but the one thing that students do not look forward to, is summer projects. Summer projects should be teacher-designed because students will procrastinate when choosing the project, students will make the project too easy, and teachers are more experienced than students.
School can be very stressful for a student, but that might not always fall on the teacher. Students tend to make things harder for themselves by waiting at the last minute to complete assignments, especially when they are given more freedom on the project. Summer is the best time of the year for a student and they do not want to spend that time thinking of what topic or project they should choose. Students will procrastinate and wait to the very last minute to come up and complete their assignment. If a teacher picked the assignment, they can give students the tools and structure they need to make an A+ worthy project.
Right after the final bell to signal the start of summer, a student earns a sense of freedom and accomplishment. Summer is the time where students want to sit back, relax, and soak it all in. That's why if the summer project was designed by a student, the project would be way too easy. In the summer, all students want is the time to be young. To go out with friends and enjoy a warm summer night. But having a summer project to come up with gets in the way of that time. Students would want to get back to that time as soon as possible. Therefore, the students would make a project so easy that it would in no way benefit them. Students will find a way to make the easiest, and least time consuming activity for a project. Teachers, however can design a project with the right difficulty to help a student move forward with their learning, while also insuring the best summer vacation possible for the students.
During the 182 day school year teachers have a lot of projects and assignments to come up with. That's why when designing a summer project, teachers are the perfect people for the job. Students aren't as experienced as teachers when it comes to coming up with a project. Teachers make many projects over the course of the school year and they most likely have gotten the formula down by the time summer comes to a start. Teachers know how to structure and execute a project to help students learn to their fullest potential.
In conclusion summer projects should be designed by teachers because teachers have a better ability to structure a project, students will tend to procrastinate when given freedom on a project, and students will limit themselves by making the project way too easy. At the end of the day, summer projects are made to help students maintain their ability to learn over the summer and I believe that teachers are the people best suited to help students grow during their summer vacation.",,497,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

BAFC5102D2F5,"Fellow citizens all over the world. Cars are not nessisary. There are a bunch of great reasons why limiting car usage has its advantages. A couple of reasond are that it's good for the environment, you will save a bunch of money, more exersize and less acidents.
If citizens limited their car usage, it would be a whole lot better for the environment. Driving everywhere in your car wastes gas and that goes into the air that we breathe. It is not good what cars are doing to the air. They are poluting our air, trees cannot convert it to oxygen. We are stuck with the gas that come from the cars in the air.
You will save a great amount of money by not spending it on gas to drive everywhere. Gas is not cheap and wont last forever. Its about $3.00 a gallon sometimes even more than that. If you save your money and not spend it on gas and just walk, you can save it and spend it on something useful.
When you think about limiting your car usage, you can think about getting more exersize. imangine a nice day and you walk down a strees to go to the store to pick up something small; you can smell the beautiful flowers. Fell the breeze that hits you just right and the sun shinning down on you just the way you like it. You would not be able to experince any of that if you were in your car driving to the store.

F1F3B4EA6FC4,"Starting at a young age and throughout their life, every child and person wants to be great at something. If you look at the people who are truly great at what they do, they all started their passion at a young age. Many sports players, politicians, and people in all fields are a great example of this. Quite frankly, extracurricular activities are a great way to spur interest within students in their youth. For this reason, I believe that the principal made the right decision about making students do at least one extracurricular activity. Beside for getting students to develop an interest and passion for something at a young age, extracirrular activities also help people become more confident in their abilities. Additionally, with all of these options, there has to be at least one activity for each student to have an interest in.
As I stated earlier, extracurricular activities are a great way to get students to find a new interest. For all you know, the student may really like the activity and pursue it as a profession. Without being required to do the activity, the student may not have even discovered their interest in whatever the activity is. Requiring students to do extracurricular is a great way to open new door and possibilities for the student. There are many different activities the student can take, so at least one has to be appealing. By finding out what they have an interest in, and starting at a young age, the student will have plenty of time to develop the skills need at get really good at something. It is important to be unique in at least one thing, because it helps identify who you are as a person. Even if the student does not ""fall in love"" with their activity, it still could not hurt to try something new.
Staying on the topic of learning something new, extracirrular activities are a great way to get students out of their comfort zone and to build up self-confidence. If the school did not require the student to take an extracurricular activity, chances are that the student would not have tried out something new. By making students try something new or continue something that they are already good at, it is making them better at whatever they are doing. This boosts their confidence level, and makes them want to try even more new things. Additionally, many of these clubs and activities include working with other people and students. This means that these clubs help students with their communication, organization, and teamwork skills. Personally, I am on my school's debate team, and I enjoy not only having fun and tournaments, but also working with my friends that are also on the team. Even though I do not really plan on becoming a lawyer or politician, I still feel as if being on the team has made me a more confident and clear speaker. Helping develop important life skills is once again another benefit of making requiring students to take at least one extracurricular activity.
Whether it is a sport, club, or leadership position, there is always something for each and every student. Based on the field that the person wants to go in, they can do an activity that is related to that field. For example, if the person wanted to be a politician, they could do something relating to the student council. Out of the many choices for extracurricular activities, at least one has to fit each student. Even if the student is not sure what they want to be, there are also plenty of options such as sports that are plenty of fun!
Although some people may say that it is not right to force somebody into doing an activity, or say that there are better things the person can do with that time, the whole purpose of requiring students to do after school activities is so they can get better. Not only do extracurricular actitivites help give students important life skills, but they also give students a chance to gain an interest and passion in an activity. If anything, it just giving the students another opportunity to try out something new. It is almost guaranteed that every student will find something that they can manage, so there is no downsides of requiring students to do extracurricular activities.
As I mentioned earlier, it is best for people start something at a young age, and requiring students to take extracurricular activities is a great way to do that. ",,746,Mandatory extracurricular activities,Independent,"Your principal has decided that all students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity.

D284AB2165C8,"Have you ever really wanted something but you didn't know if you should get it.
It might be expensive, or it could just take up a lot of space.
Sometimes we only ask one person, and when doing this, we are making a huge mistake.
When you ask only one person, you are more prone to getting a bias opinion.
When someone has bias, it means that they are in favor of a something without any factual reason.
You think that people you know are not bias, but you probably believe the bias yourself.
If you have multiple opinions on the other hand, you are more likely to hear different viewpoints, which can help you make your decision.
An example of seeking multiple opinions is when I bought a fishing rod.
It's a very nice rod, and at the time this rod would subtract all of my Christmas money.
I had no idea whether I should get the rod, but what I did next helped me decide whether I would waste all my money, or if it would be money well spent.
I asked my Mother, who was with me at the store.
She thought that I would be wasting all my money, but she recommended that I speak with my Father.
I did what she asked, and lucky for me, he not only answered, but his friends were there with him.
They all gave me advice, and at the end said that it was a good deal.
I now had to consider myself why I should, and why I shouldn't buy the rod.
At the end, I decided to buy the rod, but it would have not been without the help of multiple people and their opinions.
Now you understand why multiple opinions help people make good decisions.
Multiple opinions help prevent one way thinking.

0DCB7902B34F,"This new technology to read emotional expressions is stupid. I am against this machine for there is no value to, possibly inacurate, and what is there to learn from.?
The first reason why I am against it is that I don't see any value in it. Why would people want to know what there emotional expression is when they are the ones who are doing the expression. The other person might want to know but at the same time maybe they're okay with what they are seeing from the other person than finding out what is behind it that expression. To me that's like invading my personal emotions, and then when they find out it means something else they might be mad or asking questions why.
The next reason is, that there might be a possibility that the machine is incorrect. For example, when the person is acting like he/she is mad but messing around, but the machine might take it serious and the person who doesn't know if he/she is actually mad will think that is and start asking questions why are they mad at them and then it create an argument between them. There also could be a malfunction in the system and when the person is actually happy the machine might take it as a sad and fearful expression and that will raise some questions.
The last reason why I am against it is what is there to learn from the machine? The only thing I see it as a helping thing is when it comes to court and therapy setions. The only thing I can see it as is a machine that causes violence and arguments. There is absolutely nothing else you can learn from it and to me its useless.

69A0715FA8A5,"Have you ever made a decision that you later regretted because you did not seek alternate opinions? Often times decision making can be a difficult task, particularly when you have little knowledge on the topic. Whenever I wish to make an informed and well-made decision I will usually ask my friends and others that I respect for their opinions on the matter. By having several different views on the subject, it assists me in making the best choice that I can. Sometimes I will go with my original idea, but on several occasions I have been heavily influenced after hearing other stances on the topic, and changed my own opinion. Seeking multiple opinions when making a decision can be very beneficial because it helps you in being more informed on the topic, it helps different views to be brought to light that can sometimes come from past experiences, and who knows, you may even be able to receive assistance in executing your final decision.
When you listen to other peoples' opinions on a specific matter a lot of times you will learn more about that topic. By hearing what other people have to say, you will often times learn a reasoning behind the way that they feel. This reasoning can sometimes come from something you did not know about the subject at hand, and therefore helps you in making a more informed decision. Some choices are based off of what will benefit the most people, in which you will want to hear everyone's opinion and know what will help them the most. Other decisions are made solely based on facts. Research can be helpful on a fact-based decision, but sometimes first-hand knowledge is the best.
Many people can have different views on one topic depending on their past experiences with that subject. When you hear all of these different views, you will not only learn more about the possible outcomes of your decision, but you will also learn about what has influenced other people who may have made the same decision. Even those that have not experienced making that decision first-hand will often times have helpful advice on how to make your decision, possible outcomes of what you decide, and they may even help you by showing what they think of the matter and how they would react to the given situation. Multiple views on one topic can help bring even more ideas to light, as well as even more possible solutions. By having more opinions, you also develop more choices that can be discussed and evaluated.
Whenever you are making an important decision you will usually have to execute that final choice. This can be hard to do alone sometimes, but when you listen to other people and show them that their views and opinions matter they will often times wish to help you in return. Not only will you be able to make an informed decision with reasoning to back it up, but you will have people behind you to support your decision and help to make it a reality. Some choices require careful evaluation in order to truly decide whether or not the efforts put in will be worth the final product. When you have assistance in achieving that final goal, it becomes much easier to not become caught up in the challenges and obstacles along the path to success. In addition to this, you will also have someone to refer to for a new view anytime that a problem arises while executing your final decision.
In conclusion, seeking several different opinions and views can be very beneficial when making a decision. By seeing new views and reasoning, you are able to make a much more informed choice. When you are able to hear first-hand stories about past experiences on the same situation, it can positively influence your decision. Finally, by showing others that their voice can be heard and that it will matter, they will often times want to assist you in achieving your final goal and executing your end decision.

F2C57EEEF02C,"Education is critical at any age, but especially to those who remain still in grade school. Taking time off such as summer break, poses issues for teaches to make sure their students are still growing their knowledge on this time off. Many school have begun to introduce summer assignments to their students as an attempt to decrease this time that is spent not completely focused on school. Although many believe that these projects should be driven by the teacher, students should be the one to design these projects because it sparks creativity, motivation, and a greater understanding of the topic.
By giving students the opportunity to design their own projects, they get the chance to display their creativity. This topic of creativity is important because it is what separates peers from each other so that not one person is the same. Each student has their own style that is different from those around which is what makes them unique. When student driven projects are created, it forces those who complete the project to think outside of the box. This is significant because it is what grows the knowledge of each student; by doing this they are learning the new material as the project is being completed. By implementing these sort of projects the students creativity is apparent because teachers are not giving the student the task; rather the student is the one designing and completing the assignment all on their own. Creativity is an essential piece to the puzzle of learning for children and by creating student-designed projects, each child will benefit across the board.
When projects are given by teachers, especially over the summer, students are not motivated to complete the task. Over summer break, many students just want to be able to relax and not do work that they may have little interest in that has been assigned by their teacher. By having student-driven projects, it gives students an opportunity to create something that they are passionate about. This is important because when a student is passionate about what they are working on, it creates motivation for them to complete the assignment. A student is highly likely to complete an assignment that they are involved in because it is relative to their life. Many projects that are handed around by teachers have little to no relevance to the lives of students. If students get the opportunity to create their own assignment, they will feel a sense of pride because they are passionate about the topic. This leads to greater motivation internally for any student which leads to better overall results.
Material that has been researched by the student and completed on their own has been proven to show greater results in the grade attached to the project. When an assignment has been handed to a student to complete that has been created by someone else, they are likely only to do the minimum of what has been assigned. By doing this they are not able to gain full knowledge of the topic and fully understand what is going on. On the flip side, when a student has to design a project on their own and research the material, they gain a greater understanding of the task at hand. By having little to no teacher involvement, it forces students to have to learn the material all on their own which has been proven that the student retains the information longer. This does not just help students for this topic, but helps them in life as well because if they are able to learn on their own they will be able to hold all of this information instead of just retaining it for one assignment and then being done with it after. In the end, student-driven projects causes students to better understand the material for not only one project.
Although some may say that teachers should be the ones to design summer projects for their students, it is not in the students best interest for this to take place. By creating student driven projects, many students get the opportunity to show off what they can do without being confined into the same box as their peers. For them, it is a way to stand out among those students around them. When the student can create something that they are passionate about, they will want to complete it to the best of their ability. But, since they are learning this material on their own, they are more likely to have a strong foundation on the topic which is only something that is beneficial to them in the end. By schools implementing student-designed summer projects, their students will be better off in the end.

05CE48E8193E,"Summer projects should be student-designed because it would motivate students to complete it, it's their break, and it would make it a little more fun for them. Assigning work over summer defeats the purpose in giving students a break to enjoy themselves, so I think they should make life a little easier for the students and let them design their projects. School is stressful and consumes most of the year, students need as much of a break as they can get for the short three months they get off.
As a teenager myself, I can honestly say some of us, (including me), have a little bit of trouble getting motivated. Whether it's our job, school work, or just simply cleaning our rooms, it can be a struggle for us to get off of our phones to do it. Something I have noticed is that when I have control over a situation, I am more motivated to do it. Summer projects would be no different. I know when I get a hand in designing my school work, there is a much higher chance I will actually want to do it.
Life as a teenager is more stressful then most people think. We have to focus on our grades, getting into college, and becoming an adult. Some of us even have a job to balance on top of that! Those are just a few examples of why teenagers need the three months on summer break to relax. Summer is an escape of the daily stress teenagers have to endure. It is only fair to allow the students freedom to design their own projects over their break from school.
School is one of the main focuses in life as a teenager. We are faced with a steady stream of work and knowledge during the school year. Even when we are out of school, we must choose which college to start the next chapter of our life at. The constant stress of our GPAs and test scores is too much to handle at times. Why must we extend this into the summer? I think allowing students to take their work into their own hands allows them to have a little bit of fun while still learning, and what better time to have fun then summer?
On the flip side, I understand why schools would want the teachers to design the projects for students. If teachers are designing it, there is less of a possibility of it not being educational. With that being said, students are ultimately the ones doing the project over their break, so I think it is only fair they have the power to design it themselves.
Teachers have nine months to teach students things they need to know. I think this is an abundant amount of time, if spent correctly, and there should be no need to extend work over summer break. If schools give out work to be completed over the students' break, by all means, students should have the ability to design it.

8074C54F2B87,"Many people go through many different emotions throughout their day. They show their emotions with facial expressions which also let's other people around them know what their current feelings could be. Although some people's expressions are hard to read due to them not showing emotion in their face or hiding it,they can go through a process in a computer system named 'Facial Action Coding System' in other words FACS ,which makes the computer determin their feeligs. This is also a good system for when historians are trying to figure out old pantings like The Mona Lisa. This computer system can work well because it determins a persons feeling,it can help make better computer-animated faces more expressive,and it can help modify a teaching lesson according to the student liking.
First the computer system can tell what a person's feelings are. In paragraph four it read ""By weighting the different units,the software can identify mixed emotions. Each expression is compared againts a neutral face"". Another example can be found in paragraph five, it talks about how the computer software stores simliar codes to figuring out emotions and also talks about Da Vinci studing human anatomy to help him paint human facial expressions. These two examples show somewhat how the computer system works and how effective it when it comes to facial expressions.
Secondly FACS can help develope better computer-animated facial expressions. In paragraph six it read ""The same technology can make computer-animated faces more expressive-for video games or video surgery"" Another example is found in paragraph three when the author talks about 3-D computer models of the faces. He also talks about the muscles used when we make an expression. This two examples can show how FACS can help figuring out which facial expression is used and how to demonstrate it more strongly.
Lastly FACS can help figuring out lessons based on the students facial expression. In paragraph six it said ""A classroom computer cpu;d recognize when a students is becoming confused or bored,""Dr Huang predicts. Then it could modify the lesson,like an effective human instructor. Another example is found in paragraph four when the author talks about individuals showing vary degrees of expression making it hard to tell exactly what they feel. This examples show that knowing a students main emotion to a lesson can help modify a special lesson making them enjoy it better and learning more.
In conclusion FACS can be very usual when it comes to determening and knowing exacly one's feeling. It can also be useful when historians need to figure out emotions people felt during erlier times based on a panting. FACS also can show the many different moods a persons facial expression can contain. FACS will be used when determining a persons feeling,makeing better computer-animated faces more expressive,and help modify a teaching lesson according to the student liking.",,469,Facial action coding system,Text dependent,"In the article ""Making Mona Lisa Smile,"" the author describes how a new technology called the Facial Action Coding System enables computers to identify human emotions.

In this article there are many reasons to not explore Venus, some say it may not be able to be done but NASA belives that if we use a blimp like vehicle to explore 30 miles above the surface then the temperature will drop to around 170 and the pressure will drop aswell.

FED2903D0697,"Dear Senator,
The Electoral vote should be not used in the office anymore. It is casting the popular vote aside,its also basically saying that we the people don't know how to vote for the president ourselfs, and it brings too much confusion. It might have been used in the past when it was needed, but this it the 20's century and there is no need for them any longer. Somethings just have to change and try new things.
Popular vote is the vote the people cast on who the new presidnet should be,the one representing our contry. The motto of this contry since the consitioution was signed was ""We the people"" as in we the people have a say in what we belive is right and justice. The Elector vote although gives someone else power to vote for us, like as in a state has more people lets try to win this state over. The amount of electors given to the state is based on the amount of people in the state and in the house of representives. For example the state of California has 55 electors becuase it is one of the larger states in the United States. In the passage ""In defense of the elecortal College"" by Richard A. Posner, he states it himself "" The advocates of this position are correct in agurging that the Electoral College method is not democratic...when it is the Elecorts who elect the president, not the people."". That right there states that our votes are no longer taken into consideration, but now it is only the Electors voting for us, and not ""We the people"".
The method of using the elelctors is saying that someone is needed to represtent the ideas of the people, as if one doesn't know how to express them alone. The liberty of freedom of speech was granted as one of our very first amendment, as one is able top express their. One might be able to vote for whoever we want but in the end the vote may not matter in office. The vote of the people does not go towars the presdient it goes to the electors of the state, it takes a lot of time out of osmeones day to vote, the least that should be is that we can at least vote for the presdient himslef and not someone to elect for us.
The electoral vote is was used before and it seemed to have been sucessful because its is still used in todays society; but that was back then when the people weren't informaed as much as we are now about the things that are around us. the Electopral voted severed its perposed but now it is time to let it go and be able to give the power to "" We the people"" and to do it ourselfs.

F9807DE48A3B,"Dear Principal,
I think that this choice is debatable with either outcome. If I were principle, I would chose Policy 1 because it lets the kids have their free time and not have a big deal towards the issue. One way this Policy helps is that the kids deserve to have some free time to themselves without it being all day everyday and out-of-hand. I also believe that the kids should not be punished by some students who have made this a bad idea. Most kids have Cell phones and love to text and/or call their friends or family. Another reason Policy 1 one should be used, is because the students might need something from home or have a family emergency that the school might not have information on and the only way they can reach the student is by messaging or calling them buy phone.
This Policy can also be brought the wrong way and the kids will bring the phones to class to talk to people instead of working during class time. Then, if you take away the phones completely, there would be no way of communication towards family or friends. This would also bring no social interaction at all with anyone. I believe that these are not situations that would common but they could still happen. If a student gets hurt, the school will be blamed and not the students because they had no way of communicating. This could also lead to the school being sued. I would rather be safe then sorry. So, I choose Policy 1 because I feel that this is one that will bring more happy students and parents.

D9376FA15233,"There are many efforts from different countries to reduce car usage. Countries like Germany, France, Colombia, and the United States are trying to raise awareness and get people to not use their car as much. These countries are raising awareness for example by having car-free days, banning driving for a day, turning suburbs into car-free communities, and rasing awareness about how cars affect the enviroment. These counrties are making the efforts to reduce car usage because they know that there are great advantages if citizens limit their car usage.
In Vauban,Germany, low-car suburban life is their motto. Car ownership is allowed , but with a price. As a result, 70 percent of Vauban's families do not own cars and 57 percent sold a car to move to Vauban. Heidrun Walter says that she is happier without a car and when she did have a car, she says she was always tense. Vauban is an example of the efforts and new idea that Europe, United States, and elsewhere have to reduce car usuage. Some advantages of this low-car concept is that now stores are being placed in walking distance and malls and resturants are also within walking distance and close to each other.
Because of air pollution and smog due to cars, Paris had to start banning people from driving certain days. If you were caught driving when you weren't suppose to, a fine was inforced. Almost 4,000 drivers were fined according to Reuters. Diesel fuel was the blame of the smog because France perfers diesel over gas. Diesels make up 67 percent of vehicles in France according to Reuters. Paris has more smog than most European capitals. This is really hurting the enviroment. While Paris was banning cars, congestion was down 60 percent. Besides car congestion being down 60 percent, other advatages to this car banning was that non-hybrid car companies lost revenue while hybrid and plug in cars were not. This shows how people are aware of the pollution of cars. Also, because of the reduced driving, the smog in Paris was cleared enough to stop banning certain vehicles from driving.
A big event in Bogota, Colombia is their car-free day. Only buses and taxis were permitted. Violators of the car-free day faced a fine. The turnout was large even though there was rain. ""The rain hasn't stopped people from participating"", said the Bogota Mayor Antanas Mockus. Citizens of Colombia were happy participating in the car-free day.
""It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution"", said buisnessman Carlos Arturo Plaza as he rode his bike. Municipal authorities from all over the world came to see this event. The city's mayor also says that the day without cars is part of an improvement campaign that began in Bogota in the mid- 1990's. The advantage of the car-free day has made parks and sports centers more popular to go to and other advatages is that the old sidewalks are being replaced with new paved ones. The traffic has also reduced.
In the United States, President Obama goals are to curb the United States greenhouse gas emissions. The Enviromental Protection Agency is promoting ""car reduced"" communities. The efforts to reduce driving is paying off. A study found that driving by young people has decreased 23 percent between 2001 and 2009. Mr. Sivak's research shows a large drop in the percentage of 16- to 39 year olds getting a liscense. In New York, there is a new bike sharing program and that can help people to choose to take bike instead of riding in a car.
All these efforts are helping people make the decision to limit their car usage and based on the facts, there are alot of advantages if you limit car usage. This is only a start to raise efforts to reduce car usage, but I feel in the future we will be seeing a lot more people walking and biking than riding their car.

D2851DC6AF41,"Dear principal
I am writing to you because most of the students that are going to or already have been joined in sports have a C for their average in school. Most of the student have a C are a little bit angry because that can't join sports. If they go to tutoring they try their best to get their grades up. One of these days they are going to cancel sports because there aren't many students joining them. This is what I think you should do.
You should let them join sports because that is what they want to do. If they are not allowed to play it is like they are taking something special away from them. People are always saying how they can't do anything in this school. Most of the time they move schools because they don't like the rules in that school. If people are moving to another school then more and more will do the same and soon there will be no one in that school. They will close the school down and that school will be history.
Students that like sports are always talking about how their coach in telling them how their getting better and better each day. If they cant go anymore they are missing more and more days then that is bad. They will get worse and worse each day they miss something because they did' t o to though classes on though days. Some student are going crazy or they are getting stressed out because they are trying to get their grades up. Sometimes they feel like their hair is going to fall off.
i think you should let them join sports. Even if they have a C for their average. They will not move to another school and they will not start talking about how mean you are. That is why you should let them take sports. People need sports to show them about teem work because I say it also helps in regular school.

6F7FB6CD2C11,"Have you ever wanted to go to the other side of the world? As a Seagoing cowboy you can do that and much more. You can see sights and learn about them. You learn about hard work and how to do different things. You can have fun while doing a job. Last, you get to help others who have less then you. If you like this stuff then this is the job for you.
One cool thing about being a Seagoing cowboy is that you get to see a lot of cool sights. You can travel to different parts of the world. In the article it talks about how Luke went to China, Greece, and other parts of Europe. Another thing about the sights is that you can learn new stuff about the places you see. Also you can meet new people and maybe even talk with them. Last, you can have your friends come with you and you can see the sights with them and enjoy both. The sights are great but what you learn is also great.
There are lots of things to learn on a cattle boat. One thing about being a Seagoing cowboy is that you learn about hard work. Like in the article it talks about Luke's aunt Katie and her farm that he worked on and how that prepared him for the hard work on the cattle boat. One thing that will help you learn hard work is caring for the animals on the boat. So when you come home your parents will be happy that you learned what hard work is so they can trust you with different things. Another thing you on a cattle boat is doing your share of work, because if you are not doing your share of work then your crew mates are going to get mad fast. Being on a cattle boat also keeps you busy so you can stay out of trouble in school or at home. All the stuff that you learn is good, but everyone wants to have some fun while doing a job.
Another reason that you should go on a cattle boat is that it is fun. No one wants to do something that is not fun. On the way back you get to play baseball, volleyball, table-tennis, fencing, and boxing. You can also read or whittle if you would rather do that. It also says in the article that Luke had fun on board the ship especially when they were returning. It is good to do a job that is fun to you, but also do a job that helps others and not your selve.
One last reason you should go on the trip is that it opens up your eyes to all the people who could use our help in the world. Like helping people who could use the food from the animals that you are bringing over or they could use the money that they would make by selling the animal. Like in the article it talks about Luke and how it opened up the world to him by saying ""I'm grateful for the opportunity, it made me more aware of people of other countries and their needs.""
These reasons that I have given you show why you should work on a cattle boat.

They further explain that it could've supported life, and still shares some aspects of Earth like mountains and craters.
However, why would this be worth the risks and dangers that humans would face trying to explore it? The author fails to explain how this could be beneficial to us on Earth. The author then goes on to tell of possible solutions to get a better study from Venus. But, none of them seem effective. In paragraph 6 the article states ""researchers cannot take samples of rock, gas, or anything else, from a distance."" It is evident that the current methods of studying Venus would prove unproductive.
Despite the possibilities of exploring Venus, they all have very big risks and dangers. The article states that the conditions of Venus are far too extreme for any humans on Earth. Why risk lives of people to just maybe learn a thing or two about Venus? The article responds that the ""human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors."" But, fails to further explain how or why this would be useful.
In conclusion, the author fails to support why exploring Venus outweighs the dangers. The article does not go into much detail. Many questions are left unanswered such as, what kind of information would we get out of this? Why is this worth risking lives and money? Although the possibility of learning about life on other planets would be extraordinary, the dangers of losing human lives and expenses should be a factor in deciding if its worth it.",,348,Exploring Venus,Text dependent,"In ""The Challenge of Exploring Venus,"" the author suggests studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents.

99B1B779603C,"Dear Principle
I think that students should be allowed to have cell phones during free periods and lunch times. I think this because students use cell phones during those times anyway. Students can use cell phones during school without getting caught during school and don't really care if they get caught. Allowing cell phones during free time can let them check things like e-mail or facebook and let them talk to there friends.
Anther reason to allow cell phones in school is that they can lead to better grades. This is because if students can use them during free time they won't have to use them during class witch can cause them to pay more attention to the subject. If students pay more attention during class it can lead to better grades.
These are the reasons i think cell phones should be allowed in school. i hope this affects your decision to change the cell phone policy in school.",,156,Cell phones at school,Independent,"Your principal is reconsidering the school's cell phone policy. She is considering two possible policies:

9854782DAC30,"Some schools offer distance learning as an option for student to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing, students would benefit taking classes online and have opportunities while doing them at home than the school.
In this case students would benefit from being able to attend classes from home and here are some of the reasons why it would benefit them:
They would be able to be in a different room of the house that makes them comfortable.
Student would have opportunities to go to different places such as visiting a country or a state and still take the class online without missing anything.
If the student is sick, the student can still take the class in the computer by listening to what the teacher says.
There is no need to buy school supplies because everything is on the computer.
Having more time to spend at home.
Getting the majority of work done.
Students would be able to concentrate better, and example of that is that they will not feel pressed by waking up early, thinking what they would wear, waiting for the bus and especially in the cold weather. They would have more time and opportunities to organize everything they have in mind also if the student works, the student won't feel tired and will feel more productive when working.
Online classes would benefit every student in general and it would be great if all the school's offered that option, also I believe that schools should do that but in the case of an University there should be online classes too but it would be more important if they went to an University and learn more than they would in an online class. The reason is because since they are not teenagers anymore they should focus more on learning something that would help them.
A positive way in taking classes online is that only the students can hear you but they don't have to see you in person and they won't make fun of you because nobody knows each other also the teacher can hear everything you say because there is not too many students that join online courses. It would also helps prevent something that we don't want to happen, that is why it makes it more easier.
A negative way in going to a school is that a student can feel tired, stressed or depressed because I feel like sometimes school is all about passing and what students try to is to get their work done to have a good grades and they get stressed, also if there is somebody that is bullying another person, that person that is being bullied can get depressed and not want to go to the school. They don't say anything because they're scared that something will happen to them.
Taking online classes won't make you worry about anything but doing work that has been assigned and also you feel comfortable because you're at your house and you can feel free to express your opinions and when you're at the school not everybody rise their hands because they are too shy to answer it in front of everybody or if you say an answer that is not correct some students might laugh at you. But that is not good because it can make you feel insecure about yourselves.
In all I believe that taking online or video conferencing from home would benefit students by giving them more opportunities and to focus more in their subjects by not feeling stressed of thinking what they would have to wear, if they need a binder or a notebook, waiting for the bus and being late because by doing online courses everything is on the computer and all you do is stay home, pay attention to the class and have work done also it would help students prevent missing classes and feel tired for waking up too early to get dressed. Sometimes when students feel tired, stressed or depressed it can be because they have to do the same routine since Monday through Friday. But when having online courses you can be eating while you take the course, of course in a respectful way, so the teacher and the students won't get bother and this is why students should take online classes.

557DD5E4BAAD,"As some may disagree, online/video conferencing classes will tremendously improve the way a student would think. The guarantee of anyone else not breathing behind you neck, not having to feel ashamed or embarrassed is the key to soulful relief. What any parent would want for their child is for them to learn and be happy, but how may a student learn when they are not happy?
I have a couple of friends at Generic_School who are depressed or you can say sad, and it's always difficult finding out what it is that is making them feel this certain way. As I look deeper into my friends and swim through their thoughts, I locate the general issue and it always goes back to their education. The world is controlled by money, and to get money you must be educated, therefore education is very critical to a students peace of mind as they look at themselves 5 years from now. I have helped as best as I could to most of my friends, and most of them have made great improvement, but some are still stuck on insecurities that I cannot change. Those insecurities come from school. I've heard quite a lot, but theres an extent of my energy I can give because I suffer from these tragedies, alone.
This prompt is way more interesting than my education because I've always been looking for an alternative for public schools, but it's just not affordable for my family and I. I feel very uncomfortable in a classroom filled with students. I start to sweat a lot but I always make sure I look like I am keeping my cool externally. Internally my anxiety goes out the roof and I end up not doing any of my work. When all that work gets piled up my anxiety kicks back in again heavily when I would have class soon. I get really nervous thinking about facing my teacher knowing I did not complete any of my work, therefore I end up going home. I've always felt this way since freshman year, as I am a junior now. It wasnt as bad before, but it just kept getting worse. I've thought of millions of ways to change, to improve myself, and for my well being but I've only came to one conclusion and it is, online classing. I have considered dropping out plenty of times. Anxiety is a real thing, and it should be taken seriously.
I am not the only one suffering from anxiety relating to education, Many students would say the same but deny it to any sort of official/authority. My anxiety does make me happy, therefore I cannot learn. So as I go into my senior year I will be doing whatever it takes, whatever the cost, to take online classes instead of being stuck in school. Feeling judged 24/7, targeted, thinking I don't have what it takes, and thinking that all my questions are useless and stupid etc., is tormenting. This issue resides with many people, online classing will save lives.

3697185C117D,"When election day comes and you finally drop your vote in the ballet box after waiting in line for the past hour, you walk away knowing that you have helped the candidate of your choice to rise to the top of the voting pole. Oh how wrong you are. The United States works on a voting system called the Electoral College. ""Under the electoral college system, voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president."" (Plumer 10). This system has stood the test of time, however it has masked its flaws for long enough. ""60 percent of voters would prefer a direct election to the kind we have now."" (Plumer 9). The people have spoken, now it is time to break down the logistics...
In order to understand the flaws in the electoral college, you need to know what the electoral college is, and how it came to be. ""The Electoral College process consists of the selection of the electors, the meeting of the electors where they vote for President and Vice President, and the counting of the electoral votes by Congress."" (Office of the Federal Register 2). This system was created by the founding fathers as a compromise between the congressional vote and the popular vote. However there was a reason for this new, seperated voting system. During their time the founding fathers where among the most educated men in the country. Back then education was not standard and very few people could read or write. The founding fathers did not want uneducated citizens voting on the individual who would lead the country. So they created a system where the uneducated would vote for a group of educated men, who would in turn vote on a president. Thus the electoral college was born. The founding fathers reasons for forging this system where justified in their day and age. However the world has changed since then. These days education is standard and people have enough sense to know what each candidate has to offer, and who can guide our country to prosperity. If United States citizens are well educated, then why leave this barrier up?
Another large issue with the electoral college is its favoritism towards larger states. The United States was founded on federalism and democracy, giving power to the people instead of an over-arching central government ruling everything. So any policy that goes against our right to equal say in politics ought to be abbolished, right? The number of electors per state under the Electoral College is determined by the number of representatives the state has in congress. ""... one for each member in the House of Representatives plus two for your senators..."" (Office of the Federal Register 3). Since this system is based on population, bigger states get a emense priority over smaller states. ""The popular vote was very close in Florida [in 2012]; nevertheless Obama, who won that vote , got 29 electoral votes. A victory by the same margin in Wyoming would net the winner only 3 electoral votes."" (Posner 21). This means that presidential candidates are going to focus on appealing to larger swing states that have more electoral votes, rather than smaller ones who only provide a few votes. That is not fair now is it? No matter how small a state may be its population still consists of United States' citizens, and they deserve just as much say as a bigger state. After all, that is the concept our country was founded on, equality and freedom.
If the Electoral College does not seem like a flawed system now, allow me to open your eyes to one last variable in our little Electoral equation. The disaster factor. The disaster factor deals with the will of the people, and them doing anything to get what they want. ""Back in 1960, segregationists in the Louisiana legislature nearly succeeded in replacing the Democratic electors with new electors who would oppose John F. Kennedy. (So that the popular vote for Kennedy would not actually gone to Kennedy.)"" (Plumer 11). That kind of scenario could completely change a close call to a landslide victory! The 1960 election is not the only case of this either. It happened again when Hawaii sent two slates of electors to congress, and in other various cases electors did not vote for their designated candidate. Finally there is the case of the 2000 election, where Al Gore won the popular vote, but lost the Electoral College! If just one person decides to go against the grain, everything gets thrown off.
Case and point, the Electoral College is a flawed system. People are educated and can make a smart choice for a president, everyone deserves fair say in the political world, and people need to open their eyes to the corruption that the Electoral College allows for. It may have made sense back in the day of the founding fathers, but it is time to move on and adopt the popular vote system that the people have asked for.

FA7634A1120E,"Imagine this, Living in a world where pollution no longer exists, where cars have been limiting due to important reasons and where stress no longer affects individuals that drive. Cars have played indeed an important role in our lives since a long time. They do make us get to places faster but they are also making some individuals more lazier than before. They have affected our atmosphere which can affect every living organisms on Earth in the nonfar future. In my opinion cars should not be limited, the companies that make them should just change the way they work.
First of all, less and less people no longer walk or take public transportation in places where every individual in the population owns a car. According to source number 1 paragraph 3 ""When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way"". This is important because it shows that when individuals own a car they are always going to fight against state laws, traffic, people on the streets, meaning that they are always going to stress everytime they ride their car. This could be a lot different if cars were limited for every single individual or if cars somehow where seperated from people's places for walking.
Second of all, our planet's atmosphere has gotten more and more polluted than when cars were not a big thing to people. Pollution is something that some people do not take seriously. It can affect our lives in a big way. According to source number 2 pargraph 1 ""After days of near-record pollution, Paris enforced a partial drivin ban to clear the air of the global city"" meaning that the air was being contaminated due to cars. This is important because cars are affecting our atmosphere in a way that can affect us all by destroying our atmosphere and leaving every living organism on Earht with no oxygen.
Last but not least, Scientist's have invented cars that are electric meaning that they dont use gasoline. This is a good thing, because it can reduce pollution for a better atmosphere. Another way that pollution can be reduced is by making more and more individuals use public transportation. This can help by them not using their gasoline powered cars that pollute the air.

Driverless cars would be a good thing. It would be a big step in technology. Take some risks out of being on the road. It would also save some money. A car that drives itself would be a great achievement.

Somthing not available to drivers trying to text with a cell phone. This makes that a safety feature, and safety is a big concern.
Secondly, The car can save gas money. With the car driving the proper speeds and everything the car wouldnt waste gas.

I think that you should have the students perform community service for an optional thing. They should decide if they want to do community service or not. But if you do force them to do the work for community service, will they try and give effort. Also will they have a bad attitude doing community service? I say that you should not require all students to perform community service.
First, they should decide whether they wont to or not. Everyone is not going to all do it, it's what they want to do. Some people like to do things for the community and some people don't like to. It is the right thing to do is to do community service, but you shouldn't force someone into doing it. If you do want to do community service, then do it. However, I am saying that you should require all students to do community service.
Secondly, if you do require all students to perform community services, will they try or give effort in what they are doing. I see people who do work and they don't give any effort in what they are doing. They slack off. Also it is hard for you to convince or persuade someone into working harder and that they are not even wanting to do it. I have some friends who perform community service because they like to and want to . My other friends think it is too much time away from what they need or want to do. The friends that say it's a waste of time are not going to give effort if they are doing community service if they have to do the work. So not everyone is wanting to do it, so you shouldn't require all students to perform community service.
Lastly, will there (the people who say it's a waste of time) attitude in working in community service last long if there working? Say if you sign everyone to picking up litter after school for an hour. Will the people who say it's a waste of time have a good attitude about working and picking up the litter. Some students will have a good attitude about picking up the litter will have a better moral than the others.
The most important part of why I am writing you this letter is that you should give the option on who will do community service or not. You shouldn't just say that everyone will or won't do community service. You should just give the option.

45D156498F73,"Have you ever needed advice? I know I have needed advice many times in my life. Everyone needs advice to make better choices. There is no one who can always make the right choice. Seeking multiple opinions will help you make better choices because everyone has a different opinion, you can compare different opinions, and some people have more experience than you.
Everyone has a different opinion. That is one of the reasons why you should seek multiple opinions when making a choice. This is very important if you want to make the best decision. If you don't seek other opinions, you'll only consider your point of view. Your point of view may not always be the best point of view.
After considering multiple opinions, you have different point of views or opinions. Now, you can compare those opinions to each other. Out of those opinions, you should narrow those opinions down to just a few. Then, you should compare the other opinions to yours. After that, you can make a better decision.
Lastly, some people have more experience than you in certain areas. Some people probably had to make the same choice you are currently about to make. They may have made a bad decision and can give you suggestions on the best choice for you. You will then have more than enough knowledge before you make your decision. This will help you make the best choice.
In conclusion, there are many important decisions you have to make in life. In order to make the best choice, you should consider many opinions. I say this because some people have more experience than you, everyone has a different opinion, and you can compare those opinions.

From the amazing experience Luke had you should join the Seagoing Cowboys program.
It is an amazing opportunity to help people and to explore new places it also served as work if you were drafted to go to the military. Luke could help people because it was World War II in Europe and many countries were left in ruins so he had to help recover their food supplies, animals, and more. Luke also got to explore new places while being in the program he got to go to Europe and China he got to tour an excavated castle in Crete and see the Panama Canal on his way to China. When Luke was drafted but he didn't have to go to war because he served his service as a Seagoing Cowboy. This evidence proves that Being a Seagoing Cowboy is a great opportunity. Although, there are many dangers to the sea during this job such as slipping and possibly falling out of the ship. However, there are many more good things than bad thisng during this job it is hard but you get to help others whle putting yourself in danger.
Based on the evidence in the passage and what Luke's experience was like the Seagoing Cowboys program is an very good opportunity.

945CCBB52DED,"The Electorial College is something in the United States that needs to be replaced. It is an irrational system that takes the people's power to vote away from them. The system has flaws that leave the possibility of disaster open to happen. It takes the power to choose the goverment officials from the people, and gives it to a group of people who can vote either way. Why would we keep this?
The Electorial College is a way to choose the Presidential canidate who wins the election. It involves a slate of electors (according to Source 2) who cast their votes in. The people in each state vote for the winning electors of that state. The electors pledge to a canidate and thats what people vote for. Once the people choose a winning elector group they go to Congress and cast their votes in for who they want, and that person then gets so many votes. The problem is that the electors aren't required to vote for who they said they would, so if the elector suddenly decided to change his mind after he or she won, the people's votes are basically invalidated and a different elector gets the votes. This effectively removes the people from the equation in who gets elected. All an elector would have to do is win over the people, then he or she could just change their minds and cast a different vote than what they said they were going to do. The people who vote don't even vote for the Presidential canidate in this system, they vote for a bunch of electors that they hope will vote for what they said.
This is not an irrational, unrealized fear. It has actually happened before. According to Source 3, in the 2000 election, Al Gore had a majority of popular votes, but less electorial votes, so he lost to Bush. This isn't even the first time it has happened, it has happened previous times throughout U.S. history. This is a clear example of how flawwed the Electorial College system. Between the possibility of the people's votes not counting for anything, and that they don't even actually vote for their preffered canidate, this system needs to be replaced.
Some may argue that the chance of an elector not casting his or her vote that he pledged to is very slim. Why would you even be ok with taking such a chance? It's better to be one-hundred percent sure of what will happen instead of ninety-five percent. Also, since most states in the U.S. award electorial votes by a winner-takes-all basis (according to Source 3), if one side of the votes wins, even by a slim margin, they get all the votes. This seems unfair, since if they won by a slim margin at least some of the state thinks it should be a different vote. It would make more sense if the states awarded both sides of the vote if it was a close win for one side or the other, but they would award the true winner with more votes than the narrow loser.
Another problem with the E.C. system is that states that are largely of one belief ( Republican or Democrat ect. ) have no real reason to pay attention to the opposite side of the canidacy. Since the state would be largely one thing or the other, it is irrelivant if thirty percent of the state votes one way if seventy percent of the state votes the other, since the landslide victory style of electorial vote giving is present in most states. This also means that states that are biased and small states get almost no exposure from the opposite side of the canidacy because they know they have almost no chance of winning their votes. This seems to force the voters to choose one canidate's electors because they don't know enough about the other.
In conclusion, the Electorial College needs to be replaced with a more fair, balanced system. It has the potential to allow the electors to defy the will of the people who voted them in, invalidating the people's votes and making them pointless. It also has candates only focusing their ads and visits on the states with more votes and the states biased towards their party. Finally, it has almost all the states have a landslide ""winner-takes_all"" style of awarding electorial votes. This means if one side of electors only wins by a slim margin, the other side gets nothing, even though since they lost by a small number they clearly have a sizeable amount of voters for them. The Electorial College needs to be removed before someone takes advantage of it's serious flaws and takes the votes of the people and makes them useless.

CBAA8BE6A251,"Cars can be very dangerous to this day. So many people are get hurt driving in cars or driving the cars. There are so many things cars can do that can hurt you or before you know it you're dead. Would you want to be that person that gets hurts because the car can drive by itself? I don't think anyone would want to be that person hurt because of a car messing up and it wouldn't be your fault one bit. I would rather take responibility on getting hurt or dead then knowing I can't do anything about it because my car is driving itself.
My position on driverless cars are that you should drive the car yourself. In paragraph 7 it says, ""This means the human driver must remain alert to be ready to take over when the situation requires."" Most humans aren't alert driving by themselves let alone being alert when something goes wrong and not knowing when it will be. Technology is really good today, but it is also can go bad whenever it wants to. You don't want to be put in a sitituation where you don't know when something bad is going to happen and you aren't paying attention so you can't do anything about it, next thing you know you're in the hospital or even worse in a coma. I just think having a fancy car that can drive itself is not worth getting hurt over. It's really not. In paragraph 8 it considers, ""Wouldn't drivers get bored waiting for their turn to drive?"" It's not about having fun driving. It's about getting to one destination to another. You can put your family in danger.
Having a car to drive itself it's not worth getting hurt over. Technology is really good in all, but it could always go wrong not knowing when. Cars are already dangerous today. I think it would produce more reckless drivers and more accidents around the world. Most people are never focused on the road all the time, and when you have a car that can drive by itself you have to be focused on the road at all times.

67BC1B7863C7,"In ths artile ""Driverless Cars Are Coming"" they talk about how cars can drive on their own. Although, it talks about how the driver still has to stay catious. If drivers still have to be catious and take control when theres road construction and what not, then what's the point in having a drivless car. To me it's just having like to drive yourself just without pushing the brake or gas. You still have to keep your hands on the wheel.
I just dont feel that drivless cars are safe. I'd rather have to drive my own car then to have the car doing all the work because then again it says in the article that you still have to be aware of where your going and if there is any road construction, also you have to have your hands on the steering wheel just for it to activate the sensors. My question is, lets say I live in a place where there is bad weather, of course the huge trucks are going to come clean the snow, but sometimes pot holes form into the street. So do the driveless cars go aorund them or do we have to be catious too, and even if the car does go around the pot holes, how does it know not to hit the car next to them, or to go on the grass, or even the side walk.
Some people get motion sickness when they are in a car. As an example, someone I know gets motion sickness if they sit in the passanger seat of the car, but are fine if they are driving and handling the car. What if a person gets sick everytime they go into the driveless car because technically they aren't driving it. In the articale it stated ""The car can handle driving functions at speeds up to 25 mph, but special touch sensors make sure the driver keeps hold of the wheel"", in concern, what if a driver lost an arm and isn't capable of holding both hands on the steering wheel for the sensors and is used to driving with one hand.
All these concerns have to be thought while processing these cars. Drivless cars to me just aren't the new thing and a lot of more accidents are going to happen. Not a lot people read the manuals, they just buy the car and drive it. How are they going to know they have to navigate through work zones or around accidents? Why would there be accidents if we relied on a driveless car to take care of our driving for us?

I think it's a great idea to have students work while having fun. There are many advantages for doing an extracurricular activity. For example, students will have more exercise, which is great for the body, a club can boost creative minds and students are able to get along with each other more.
Joining a school sport is a great way to get exercise and learn new skills. Doing a sport in school not only gives us kids something to do with our life, but makes us a better teammate and a leader. When I first heard about a new softball team in school, I was so excited to try out and play for the team. I only had a few friends on the team, but by the end of the season, I had made new friends and I learned new skills. Leadership is very important for someone to learn. It teaches the person that not everything is about them and that sometimes, you have to take one for the team. If someone makes a mistake, don't put them down for it, encourage or teach them how to be successful next time. Sports in school is a great way to learn new skills and be healthy.
Doing something creative is a great way to be competitive and entertained. Having art clubs or working in the yearbook can be really fun! Some of my friends work in the yearbook and they have so much fun while taking pictures and creating a great collage. Everyone just haves a good time. Also, participating in art clubs can really boost someone's creative mind. Kids get to create their own masterpieces and show it off to everyone! Students will get to observe and examine their competitors art work to get ideas or to just admire it. Doing something creative is good for the mind and soul.
Lastly, There are a lot of social aspects to these activities. Imagine being in a student council where you can talk about requests and complaints to make the school a better place for students like you and I. Other students can vote for each other to be in the council and it'll cause some competition, but it's good that students can talk to each other. Joining a sport or a club of any kind can be really positive for the child. They can make new friends with the same interests and gain their confidence in what they do.

2A90C50AFFE8,"Dear principal,
I think that the community service should be an option for students. It is not fair to take time out of there lives. For example some students have sports or activities and don't have time for it. Some students enjoy spending time with there friends and family if they do community service they might not have enough time for any of that.
When a student does community service it might make them tired and not able to study for things like tests so their grades could go down. If a student cant keep there grade up there parents might make them stop community service. Sometimes if a student does not full fill there work they stay up late and might miss school. For students that can handle doing more things they could do community service. But for other students it could be hard on them.
If students are required to do it they might slack off on other things and might fall asleep in class because they have not been able to sleep maybe because of stress. when a student is stressed they cant work if they cant work then they could fail. When you think of community service you think of the time that's being taken from you. So most students don't like to do the community service. But some of them have the time to do so and decide that they want to.
student who do community service could have good grades and are able to take time to do things. but for the students who are failing or struggling could really use the time to study or maybe extra credit work. When a student has good grades there parents let them do things but if they have to do community service it doesn't help there plans with friends or family they have not seen in a while.

203C3C0F1250,"As a student who has previously used online videos and readings as a way of education, I strongly believe that online and video education is beneficial to many students. You never know what kind of struggles a student is going through, and if we can make the school environment more comfortable for them, that is vital.
For example, we don't want a student with a phobia of school to miss out on an education; therefore, the school system must provide a way for the said student to get things done. Without online classes, the student would have to come into school to get paper work, and that may be a trigger for them.
Not only does video education support kids with illnesses and other personal problems, it is more efficient than in-school teaching. Work gets uploaded faster and easier, and questions are answered more quickly. Students can work at their own pace, and in many instances they fly ahead of their peers because they are not being dragged behind by other students who may not be on the same level as them.
We can even mention the event of a widespread illness taking over - if a school were to shut down, what would they do without online education systems like google classroom? That is one of the only ways to keep our students up-to-date and educated during trying times. Studnets may be quarentined inside their homes, but that doesn't mean they cannot get any work done, all thanks to online schooling! Teachers would easily be able to send out assignments everyday to keep the class on track.
Even students who attend public schools use online videos and readings everyday. Teachers would not be able to do their job without the use of electronic education, and students wouldn't be able to learn. The age of technology is upon us - it's no surprise that the internet has become such a huge part of the school system.
Online school is an equitable solution to the many obstacles students may face during their years in school. How would the education system be viewed if they didn't take into account students who physically or mentally cannot participate in public schooling? I don't think they'd be considered a very open-minded operation.

636811ED1516,"During the Summer students are not concerned about learning , students are more focused on watching Netflix or going swimming with friends. In order to help with influencing students to continue learning throughout break, most schools assign students mandatory projects to work on during Summer break. Although some believe that Summer projects should be student - designed due to student- designed projects being easier. Others believe that Summer projects should be teacher - designed because, teachers are more professional when it comes to choosing classwork, students would become stressed out, and choosing assignments is not any student's responsibility. For instance, since Summer projects are not optional students would appreciate the projects being teacher- designed in order to feel more motivated to learn.
For starters, teachers are more professional when it comes to choosing classwork , because teachers know that procrastinating is not an option when it comes to learning. If the projects were student- designed then students would most likely put the assignment off until last minute or just decide to complete the assignment without any effort. For example, students would not take the assignment as seriously because of the amount of work required in choosing an assignment. Students would most likely decide to sleep in or hangout with friends instead of doing research and picking a decent topic. If teachers designed the projects then students would have topics available to them instead of having to do extra research and work.
Secondly school is stressful to begin with , and having to work on a project over the Summer is not something most students want to do. In order for students to feel less stressed out, teachers should make sure that they choose topics that would suit student's interests. Students would feel less stressed because they would have good examples for the projects. For example, a teacher could instead chose a less complicated topic such as a list of role- models from the past. When the list is handed to the students , the students would not have to worry about stressing about finding a certain topic. Students could just pick a person that seems interesting from the list then decide how many hours in a day they would spend researching that certain person.
Lastly, choosing assignments is not the student's responsibility. Teachers are responsible for assigning students their classwork. When classwork is not optional students should not have to deal with extra work that is supposed to be a teacher's responsibility. For example, teachers assigning students to design the projects is unessecary and students would be less motivated to complete their projects sooner due to the amount of work. Teachers should be the ones to make sure student's have learned and when student's have more work than needed , students will least likely learn as much due to rushing through the projects.

It would be fun and you would definitely not be alone.
If you had friends on the ship you could have fun all the time.
You could play all kinds of fun games with the people on board the ship.
After you drop off the cattle food and supplies what are you going to do.
Well all that space that the animals were in is now open for baseball game.
That's right you could play a baseball game on a ship like that.
Just don't hit a home run too far.
You could play games, read, and even play a baseball game and who says that isn't fun.
Another good thing about Seagoing Cowboys is that you can see amazing sights.
You could ride past China.
You could almost go anywhere you wanted, after the cattle were dropped off.
Sightseeing is a very fun thing to do.
You can see stuff you have never seen before.
I think it would be kind of fun to be a seagoing cowboys out would miss your relatives though.
Remember why being a seagoing cowboy is fun.
The job is a fun amazing job.

Automated Vehicles have been around for quite a while now, many people have grown very fond of them, actually. With all of the new advances in technology today, many new upgraded cars are being released. But are driverless cars really a good idea? Considering the malfunctions, technical difficulties, and the laws on driving.
People all over the world use cars everyday as an easy way of transportation. There are many laws and safety regulations to follow when driving, as every driver knows, but how would they fall in line with driverless cars? If nobody is technically driving the car, how can anyone be punished for accidents? This is something that needs to be further looked in to.
Furthermore, every new invention is going to have its flaws. Putting something as big as driving into technology's hands is quite a scary thing. One small mistake could result in a huge accident. Deaths are already a big problem when it comes to driving accidents. We should not make this a bigger problem than it already is.
Another thing, we all have that one friend who can just never seem to work any kind of technology right? What happens if that person gets put behind the wheel of a driverless car? Even with training or a handbook things could get confusing, that goes for anyone. This is a big piece of technology, nothing like a smartphone or a computer. Peoples lives could be in danger when exposed to a driverless car. Nobody wants that, do they?
Lastly, I know that having a car that drives itself sounds amazing and totally worth it, but is it really? How do we know this is not one of the biggest mistakes to ever be put on paper? There are so many deaths caused by vehicle accidents already, why would we take the chance of increasing those numbers? We should just eliminate this problem before it even begins.

C1EEE9150AE1,"The Mona Lisa is said to have many different emotions. Eighty-three percent happy, nine percent disgusted, six percent fearful, and two percent angry. Due to a new computer software, from Professor Thomas Haung of the Beckman Institute for Advanced science at the University of Illinois and Professor Nicu Sebe of the University of Amsterdam, we can calculate the emotions of people and how much of certain emotions they are feeling at the time. I believe this software can be very helpful to people in many different fields: in an office, at a restaurant, and especially in classrooms.
This new technology can be a very helpful tool in teaching all different types of students at their pace instead of teaching a specific groap of kids at one pace. In a classroom, it can be very intimidating and nerve recking to raise your hand and be the only one with a question. With the new software, the computer will detect if the child needs help or not by the facial expressions he, or she, makes and explain the lesson in a way that child would understand. Also, it can help teachers with the way they teach and the way they give out work. Since the computer can detect emotions, it can also detect they way the children are responding to the way the teacher is teaching and the homework he, or she, is giving them.
In conclusion, I think the bnew software will be very helpful, especilally in schools. It could be both beneficial to students and teachers and help strengthen the education systems. Most kids do not like to learn because it is too hard and because they can not comprehend it, but if learning could be made more understandable, or easier, lack of a better term, then a greater amount of students would be more open to learning and actually trying in school.

First of all, mesas are common in Cydonia. As the text says, ""Scientists figured it was just another Martian mesa, common enough around Cydonia."" The shadows made it look like the landform had eyes, a nose, and a mouth. These are just shadows. Only afew Scientists thought that the Face was an Alien artifact.
Secondly, they took pictures and said that the face was just a landform. After they first saw the face, they wanted to take pictures as soon as possible.

Lastly, scientists said that it was the same as landforms around the American west. Mission controller, Garvin, said, ""It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho."" This is showing that the landforms here, are on Mars. Aliens didn't make our landforms though. The Face is actually a mesa or a butte and not an Alien artifact.

I am a student here at the school and I am going to tell you the phone policy that should be chosen for this school. The policy best for students would be policy 1.

The second reason for my decision is because during class they could always use their teachers phone or class phone and it will show the teachers that students can be responsible enough to do their class work while their phones are off. The third reason for this decision is they could maybe talk to their parents about if their is practice or something like that.

74CA2200A7FB,"Dear Rick Scott,
Controversial. This is the word that can describe the Electoral College in recent elections. The Electoral College is composed of 538 votes, a presidential candidate must acquire 270 to win the election. States with large populations get more electoral votes so say, Rhode Island. California gets 55 votes while the puny Rhode Island gets a whopping 3 votes. The Electoral College has been debated since the 2000 election, where Al Gore lost even though he got more popularity votes. Many folks believe the Electoral College should be abolished. I believe that the Electoral College should be kept in the presidential elections, because it shows a clear winner, it ensures it is, ""Everyone's President"", educated voters count in the swing states and it avoids Run-Off Elections.
Without the Electoral College, some elections may be hard to decide a true winner. No matter the situation, the Electoral College will determine a winner, if the popular vote and electoral vote become tied, (which is highly unlikely,) the vote will be taken to the senate. Each senator counts as one vote, so no longer do bi states matter. Also, the Electoral College ensures the presidential candidates have trans-regional appeal. It makes the votes count, the president chose is surely, ""Everyone's President,"" rather than a favorite in just northeastern states. Furthermore, swing states are tremendously important to the outcome of the election. States such as Florida, New York, Texas and California have dozens of votes combined, winning all four of those states pretty much means presidency. The swing states not only have more electoral votes because of population, but because of their voters. On average, there are more educated voters in the swing states, they actually stay up to date, watch the news and know the means of each candidate. The Electoral College also avoids the disaster of which no cadidate receives a majority of the votes cast. A good example of this is when Clinton had only 43% of the popular votes won, yet he got a whopping 370 electoral votes, which made him president. The pressure of having a run-off election is nearly vanished by the Electoral College. Although others say that the Electoral College should be abolished, because in that system, voters vote a slate of electors, not the president. Well tough , the Electoral College ensures a winner, and that is all that matters.
The Electoral College should, for sure, be kept in the Presidential Election system. It consists of 538 total votes, and 270 votes have to go to a candidate to pick a winner. Although the votes may tie up, which is nearly impossible, the Electoral College ensures another method to decide the presidency. The Electoral College produces a sure winner, ""Everyone's President,"" is elected, educated voters are in the swing states and it avoids the disaster of a Run-Off Election.

886B98C32CAC,"The Electoral College is a process begun a long time ago due to the lack of educated and literate citizens in the United States, whom the government did not believe were eligible to vote for any president under any circumstances. Now that our literacy rate in the United states is now more than 80-90% (or so I believe), I don't really think that the Electoral College is useful anymore.
The Electoral College is a process describing 538 electors voted for by the state who will vote for the new president every four years. A majority vote of 270, one more than half, is required to elect the new president. The number of electors for each state equals the number of members in it's Congressional delegation; meaning one for each member in the House of Representatives that represents your state, and two for your Senators. However, I think that a popular vote, or having the citizens themselves vote for the president, may be more useful.
There is an off chance that electors may vote for a candidate that their citizens did not want to choose, or the chance that two slates of electors may be sent to Congress, etc. Another prospect is the idea of a tie in the electoral vote, which would mean that there would be 269 votes for both Presidential candidates. In the event of this happening, the election would be thrown to the House of Representatives, in which the state delegations would choose the president. This may be fatal, however, because states like Wyoming, which only have the population of 500,000, will have as much to say about the fate of the United States as a state like California, home to 35 million people.
A lot of people usually are in favor of the Electoral College due to certainty of outcome and swing states. Swing, or toss-up states are the states that are undecided until the very end, and could very well change the entire tide of the Election. ""Voters in toss-up states,"" reads one argument, ""are more likely to pay close attention to the campaign-- to really listen to the competing candidates-- knowing that they are going to decide the election."" But should we really leave such a large and important decision up to such few people? A mere 538? And even less for toss-up states?
Overall, I think that the Electoral College is outdated due to it's lack of need anymore, does not fit the democratic and equal methods of the United States (for the most part), and leaves too large of a decision to too small of a group. Popular voting may just be the solution to this problem, and although popular voting may not be perfect either, it might help us figure out who we really need for our president, rather than leaving it to just a small group.

On the other hand if students have distance learning program it is not easy to work on assignments and homeworks like students that are able to learn in school, because students that take classes at home do not have teachers and classmates that they can make things more easier to understand by giving examples and more explanations.
In my opinion it has benefit for students to be able attend classes from home, because students can have extra time to work on and if students can not be able to go to school they can attend that class at home. In conclusion having distance learning programs in schools for is most beneficial for students. So schools should have offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing, and also students should not give up if they do not have way to go to school or if they are not able to take classes in the school, because they can attend for distance learning program and make their dream achievable, and schools should pay their own role to make achievable students dream.",,417,Distance learning,Independent,Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing.

77CD03AA7E0F,"Some schools require students to participate in extracurricular activities. However, schools dont think it all the way through on how it will affect its students. Some students come home from school exhausted. On top of that, they still have homework and other after school activities. A required extracurricular activity may interfere with a students after school activities and some students may just not want to participate.
Most students play sports. Extracurricular activities can affect attendance at practices and games. Students also play instruments and do other activities outside of school. It may interfere with completion of homework. Some students even have jobs that they have to attend to. Overall, its not a good idea as it will interfere with almost everything and anything students do after school.
After school students may just not want to go. They already spend 7+ hours at school everyday. Students might be tired and just want to relax at home. They might want to hangout with their friends or spend time with family. They might not even care about the extracurricular activity so they dont participate. All in all, students that dont want to go probably wouldn't show up.
In conclusion, I disagree and believe that extracurricular activities shouldn't be required. If you want to stay after school then thats your choice not the schools.

6.78E+11,"Dear principal,
I agree with you that we should change the policy to maintaining a B average for being eligible for sports because, if someone has a C average they are just barely passing there classes. This could be a result in after school activities such as sports taking up to much time so that they cant do there homework and turn it in on time. Also a B average proves to not only the staff but to the parents of students participating in after school activities can maintain good grades while doing other things such as sports. Some students might find your reasoning a little bit harsh but, you know what they can deal with it because, if they don't maintain such grades other wise they will not continue on to the next grade with all there friends. Not only does this have a negative side but it also has a positive side. The positive side to this is that when they are not maintaining a B average is that they will have more time after school to finish there homework. Also they wont have to remember to pack there gear up and leaving something they need at practice. Instead they will be focusing more on there grades. so yes i do agree with your decision but, there is also a reason for me to disagree and that is that our students will not be getting there exercise in to keep them healthy.

DE6623432646,"Distance learning should be an option for students and would prove to be very effective. Learning at home by the use of online or video chat would be helpful in many ways. Students can learn even though they may be sick, students will be able to focus in a more stable environment, and they will be able to learn at their own pace. Overall, there are more pros than cons of distance learning and this would be a more efficient way to teach students.
Through distance learning, students will still be able to learn if they are not feeling well enough to go to school. If someone has the flu or a common cold it would be best for them to stay at home. When students are at home, whether it be they are sick or just tired, they will not fall behind in class. Even if students are sick and may not feel like learning, distance learning would provide an easily accessible way to learn or study that may not be too hard on students. Another pro of distance learning is when students are sick, they will not be able to pass around their sickness to other students, which would benefit the health of other students in the area. When students get sick they tend to do less work and sleep more, so it is better for it to happen to one kid, rather than a whole class of students. Distance learning would take away the possibility of getting sick from a fellow classmate which, in turn, will increase productivity for students.
A main reason why distance learning should be available to students is because many students find it hard to stay focused and on task in class. There are many distractions in class including friends, texts, and the constant urge to get up out of your seat. Having friends in your class may be fun, but also may be a problem for the student's focus. Humans are a generally social species, so if students have friends in class they will feel the urge to talk to friends instead of staying on task. In addition to stunting students' focus, many students have trouble sitting in uncomfortable school desks for hours at a time without breaks to stretch their legs and rest. Not moving around makes peoples muscles stiff and can cause pain and make students uncomfortable, which can add to the problem of not sitting still and focusing. Distance learning would eliminate these problems because at home students would be able to relax in a comfortable, stable environment and students will not have friends there as a distraction.
All students learn at different paces, and distance learning helps with this as well. Students may get bad grades in class and even fail. This may not be due to the lack of knowledge, but to the lack of control of the pace in which they learn. Students who learn at a slower pace have a harder time keeping up with all of their school work, in return, they fall way behind and have a hard time catching up. Working at home at their own pace will increase grades and their motivation to keep working and keep their grades up. Students who learn at a faster pace will also benefit from this because if they work faster, students could possibly finish courses early and have opportunities to take more classes or even have free time for leisure activities. No matter which way a student learns, distance learning will benefit students of all learning natures and help them stay on track.
Although distance learning has many benefits, a con to this issue may be that students procrastinate and feel that they want to relax more if they are at home. When students are at home they feel comfortable and they feel that they have all the time in the world to work from home so they do other activities instead of schoolwork. Students may get distracted due to chores, watching TV, or scrolling through Instagram and Snapchat. Another downside is that students might lack moral support from their teachers, nagging them to get their work done. With teachers nagging their students, they might feel the urge to complete more work instead of getting distracted and dozing off. These reasons are some of very few that students should learn in a classroom environment as opposed to distance learning.
Distance learning would be a very effective way for students to learn and stay on top of schoolwork. This method of learning should be available for students everywhere. Whether students would want to participate in distance learning or not, it would be beneficial to many kids and lead to better grades. Students will be able to learn when they are sick, they will be able to focus better, and they would be free to learn at their own pace that is right for them. This is why distance learning would benefit many students.",,823,Distance learning,Independent,Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing.

I heard about what you are trying to get students to do ""community service"". I do think this a good idea and i want this to happen but there are some students that might not even care about this and not follow along with this plan. I would think it would be better to form a group at school and let students who would want to help with this process. Some students don't have the time to go help, even if you forced them to help out. Plenty of students have after school activity's that they cant miss out on. I do agree with you 100% but i don't think it will work a bunch if we just made kids do it. Lets just try at the beginning of this process to make a club at school for the people that are interested and will participate with all their effort on community service and if they like it well maybe they can make a speech of how great it if to help out in community service. I would really want some kids that are not involved in a lot of activities through out the school year and that are not doing good in their grades, because i think it would help them out to figure what's out there in this big world and it would also probably help them get their grades up. If you ever need help in something with activities like these i will always be here to help with SCHOOL_NAME

443597A6A71D,"Various schools have given students the opportunity to learn right from the comfort of their home. If you are given the ability to learn from your own house it can improve grades, give students the opportunity to try different things, and to be able to attend school if the student is chronically ill. Some may say that students can only learn in a school environment, which I disagree with. Schools offering these services to students will benefit many people at the time and in the future as well.
Many students struggle to strive in a school environment due to many outside components. I personally have struggled to come to school due to mental illness, drama with friends, bad teachers, and the list can go on. I am just one of the students that have struggled with this problem and I know many other people have as well. When you are focused on many outside problems it is difficult to grasp onto the task at hand, which is passing your classes. If students are given the opportunity to learn from their own house and not miss anything at school their grades would skyrocket up. Some students just need that extra push to be able to strive in school and require different outlets.
Students consider school being a job, you work for eight hours a day then you go home and work some more. Instead with online classes students are able to manage their time wisely and do fun activities that interest them. Students who go to school instead of doing online classes sometimes find it can be difficult to play a sport, spend time with friends, spend time with family, and then add homework and studying into that mix. Some students would benefit significantly from an online class, they would be able to go to school and do the hobbies they enjoy doing. The key role in an online class is having good time management and not procrastinating all of your due assignments until the last minute.
Some students have mental illnesses or physical illness that can deprive them of being able to go to school. I have experienced first hand how mental illness can make it extremely difficult to go to school and learn. I have missed weeks on end of school due to crippling anxiety and depression making it impossible for me to get out of bed or to drive to school. I would not be able to do homework, make up missing work, or play sports which deprived me of all my outlets. If I had online school at that time I would be beyond successful in my school work and my social life as well. Physical illness can also make it impossible for students to come to school and to be successful, but with online school you are able to go to class and learn the exact material you would be learning in a classroom.
Online class as an option is one of the best thing a school can do for students. It gives students the resources to be successful if that student or students is struggling. If you are given the opportunity to learn from your own house it can improve grades significantly, give students the opportunity to try different things and do the things they enjoy, and to be able to attend school if the student is struggling with sickness. When schools are able to advocate for students, it makes student life and education more enjoyable compared to sweeping mental illness and struggling with school under the rug.

5FA8C1D30129,"In today's world, schools accross the world are modernizing in many different ways. In fact, the concept of going to school itslef is changing drastically. With new innovations and technologies, some students have the ability to attend school without physically attending school. This new method of learning is made possible by the concept of ""distance learning"", which allows students to attend classes either from their home by way of online or through video conferencing. All students would benefit from being able to attend classes from home through the internet because it gives students the opportunity to learn and be engaged in the classroom from anywhere, it is a more modern and efficient way of learning, and it opens the doors for the creation of international schools, which could make schools much more culturally diverse.
One reason why students would benefit from being able to take classes from home is because it would allow students to have the opportunity to travel and have worldly experiences, while still being engaged in the classroom. The possibility for students to be able to learn from anywhere is very promising. It would allow for students to gain new experiences on a global scale, while still learning the core subjects in school. For example, students who are incredibly interested in the Classics could be in Italy or Greece further pursuing their interests in this relam, while still being engaged in their school work and lessons from their school at home by means of these video conferences or online classes. If a student were to go visit family in another location, having the ability to take online classes or use video conferences to keep up with their schoolwork would also be incredibly beneficial because it would prevent them from falling behind. These are just a few circumstances in which having access to online classes or video conferences would be beneficial for students; they would give all students the opportunity to learn from anywhere.
Another reason why it would be beneficial for students to attend classes anywhere by means of the internet or video conferencing is because it could open the door for the creation of international schools. If students had the ability to attend classes without physically being in the classroom, it could allow for schools globally to collaborate and intermix. Students from South Africa could be enrolled in the same classes as students from Japan or the United States. Having the ability to crease internationally mixed classrooms would greatly benefit students; it would make classrooms much more culturally, racially, and ethnically diverse, which would overall enrich the experience for all of the studnets. Students would have the opportunity to engage with students from various backgrounds and to also learn about other cultures and places around the world. While the students would still be separated physically by thousands of miles in some cases, they would be unified in the online classrooms and would have the opportunity to get to know indiviaduals who they would likely have never met otherwise. This experience would overall allow students to further develop their understanding of not only other cultures, but also of the world.
Although there are many advantages to this new method of attending school, there are also some notable disadvantages. Giving students the opportunity to attend classes from home using the internet or video conferences could give some studnets less of an incentive to physically attend school. Some students who don't particualrly enjoy school may see this as an opportunity to not go to school. There are also notable benefits from physically attending school; it allows students to learn life skills, create relationships, and it gives students the traditional, true ""school"" experience. Although these can be seen as reasons why implementing the opportunity for attending school using the internet may be a bad idea, the benefits that this would provide for students are far more important and enriching.
All students would benefit from being able to attend classes from home through the internet because it would allow students to learn and be engaged in the classroom from anywhere accross the world and and it opens the doors for the creation of international schools, which would make schools much more culturally diverse. As the world modernizes and people's ways of life change, schools will also change. Giving students the opportunty to attend classes without physically being in the classroom by means of the internet or video conferencing would be an improvemment to schools and would allow them to develop and modernize along with the rest of the world as it becomes increasingly technological.

Do you think student will benefit from attend classes at home? yes but student who study at home don't get to communicate with others, don't know how to overcome bullies and talk to their own teenage and they don't get to interact with people at same age. Studying home will let you finish school early but it won't get you a friend or help you find a relationship between outsider like friend,teacher and boyfriend or girlfriend.
Home school can fun but not more then going to place to study. Sometime it help you enjoy free time and stuff but it doesn't really help with going on a date or start a conversation. Most people I know who did home school now have already finish school but really shy to talk to someone even their own friends. In fact, a student name Generic_Name went on prom with his mom because he couldn't able to talk or make some friends from online school. Coming to point, going to school help student overcome a lot of thing that will happen like doing a presentation in front of help student to brave and responsible for what they are doing. it help them under the way of learning from other student.
Moreover, students who do home school finds it hard to find a relationship. they just stay home by them self to study. they don't get a chance to group work or get a new idea from others because knowledge doesn't come from one person. For example, people who home always remember one thing so when someone say something else they get surprised and sometime they wish they were in same school. student who study home get more time to do their work and turn them in. they always a sense mind in their house because there no other student to interrupt them when they are studying.
Finally , student will benefit a lot when they study at home but won't help them to be a communicator and help them interact with people.

C4E882FAAD67,"Dear Principal,
The matter of whether a student should or shouldn't have to do community service has come up and needs to be discussed.
I believe that it would be a good idea for students to take part in community service but i don't think they should have to do it.
Taking part in community service would have a huge effect on our surroundings.
More students would be out helping out those who are in need instead of sitting around doing nothing. This would also cause the students to get more active and they would come to know those who live around them.
Also, community service would look good on an application to college.
If you don't want to go to college, so be it. The fact is that community service is a good thing and students should be encouraged to take part in community service.
The encouragement of students to take part in community service should be increased.
If a student does not know where to take part in community service or how to do it, then the odds of them trying to anything will go down.
If signs or posters are hung up around the school then students mite pay more attention to their surroundings and get more active with their community. Even if they just went out side once a week to pick up garbage off the streets or even just around their house, it would make a huge difference to the community.
Other students might even see a student or friend picking up trash and want to go out side to help that friend or student out.
That would be causing the student to get active with their community and it would be helping out a lot of people.
So as you can see, if students just do the smallest things then they can be helping out the community.
The encouragement of the students toward community service would also impact the community because it would cause more students to get involved.
Just the picking up of trash would make an impact.
Those are my reasons of why kids should do community service but you shouldn't have to be forced to do it.

As I stated before I've heard about the changes you want to make and I have a lot of suggestion on it .

Then they will turn to the streets, and i know you wouldn't want that for our fellow students .
Also may be them getting a C grade average is the best they can do. Then our school wouldn't have the best after school activities we could have. Then the people who enjoy it the most , but doesn't meet the standard wouldn't have the ability to get a scholar ship in it even if they need it the most.

39F74566F1AA,"In this article, ""The Challene of Exploring Venus"", the author is explaining the difficulties of researching Venus closer, and why it is near impossible due to the challenges the planet provides. The author states what challenges the planet poses, and how scientists are trying to overcome those challenges. The author also says why the planet is worth the risk of exploration. The author supports the claim that Venus is a worthy persuit for exploration, disregarding the dangers, because Venus has many similar geological structures and could have once supported life due to the planet's simularities to Earth, but the author doesn't provide much more evidence as to why it is a worthy persuit.

Through these two sentences from the article the author is contributing to reasons why exploration on the planet Venus is worth it, despite the natural dangers that the planet poses. The fact the two planets share similar physical characterists appeals the claim the author made about Venus being Earth's sister planet.
In the fourth paragraph the author gives a few reasons as to why scientists are further discussing the exploration of the planet Venus. The author says that Venus is the most Earth-like planet in the solar system, and it may have housed life at one point. In the second line of the paragraph, the author states, ""Austronomers are facinated by Venus because it may once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system."" This peice from the article shows that researchers, or astronomers, are intrigued by Venus because of it's simularities with Earth. Then the author goes into more detail about what those simularites are, in the same paragraph he states, ""Venus was probably convered largely with oceans and could have supported varius forms of life, just like Earth."" In this sentence the author expands upon what those simularites are, and how the planets are similar because of their attributes, such as the support of different life forms. The detail the author inserted into the article about the resemblance of oceans is significant because life is not possible without oceans, and Venus had them.
Both peices of evidence that support what claims the author made as to why research into Venus was a good idea came from the same paragraph. The other seven paragraphs of the article expand upon why exploration isn't possible, how scientists and researchers are trying to overcome the difficulties that the planet provides them with, and what dangers there are. Only one paragraph from the article supports why exploration is intriguing to scientists. In this paragraph, the author supports why exploration towards Venus is being chased, such the similar physical characterists and the possiblity of life. The author doesn't support that idea of further exploration to Venus adequetly because they don't provide enough claims. There are two statements supporting why scientists are facinated by Venus. Why studying Venus is a worthy persuit is a minor detail in the article, the author does not do a well enough job in supporting the motivations behind the scientists.

89FCD2B81990,"The whole purpose of democracy is to create a government that reflects the desires, opinions, and attitudes of the people being governed, but how can this be achieved if the people aren't fairly represented during election time, presidential or otherwise? This is the problem with the Electoral College system; it puts all of decision-making power in the hands of our electors, not the citizens themselves. To begin with, the electors selected by citizens are capable of defying the will of the people they were chosen to represent. Next, in the case of a tie, the opinions of millions of people would be overlooked. Finally, because the Electoral College encourages candidates to focus on obtaining votes instead informing all voters about their intentions, only the influential ""swing"" states receive enough attention from candidates to make a well-informed decision when voting. When it comes to something as serious as the fate of our country, citizens cannot put their faith in the such a corrupt system as the Electoral College.
First of all, the Electoral College system creates a window of opportunity for ""faithless"" electors to take advantage of the power given to them by society during the voting process. Under the Electoral College, voters do not vote directly for who they want as president, but instead for a slate of electors, who in turn select the president. Although these electors may pledge themselves to a particular candidate, there is no way to determine whether or not they end up casting their vote according to the will of the people who put them in charge. Such an unpredictable turn of events could be avoided if only the outcomes of presidential elections were determined by popular vote, not through an Electoral College.
Secondly, if a tie were to occur, the opinions of countless citizens would be ignored. In this case, the election would be thrown to the House of representatives, were delegates from each state would vote on the president. Since each state has only one vote to cast, a vote from a state containing 500,000 people would carry the same weight as a vote representing the opinions of 35 million. Given that many voters vote one party for president and another for Congress, the selection made by the House of Represenatives can hardly be expected to respesent the will of the people.

7E7BE5817CF8,"Students work extremely hard on their grades; they study, pay attention in class, and turn in their work on time. My Principal is wanting to change school policies to were only students with at least a grade B average can go to school events, but I am against that. Most students have a grade C average, and they've worked hard to get that. They study just as much as a student with a grade B average. Let me tell you the reasons why I am against changing the school policies.
First of all, students with a grade C average study exquisitely hard on their class work just as much as students with a grade B or A average. I think that it wouldn't be fair to them when a student studied exactly the same as a student with a higher grade average, and doesn't get the same reward. Most students participate the same as others and don't get treated the same way.
Additionally, some students can't remember as much information as other students. IN my opinion, students with a grade C average may study the same amount as students with a higher grade average. They just don't have the same memory strength; some students may have short term memory, but work hard to keep up the good work.
Lastly, students shouldn't be treated differently, because of their grade average. They shouldn't even be treated differently at all! The students with a grade C average are just as talented as others with a higher average. It would make the grade C average student think that they're not worth it. "" It"" as in not worth being rewarded with how much talent they put into their work.
To sum it up, all students with at least a grade C average should be able to participate in school events. They study and work as hard; also, they put in the same effort. Students shouldn't be treated differently on how smart they are, they should be treated on who they are, no matter if they have the lowest grade average in their group.

If you're having a fight with your friend, multiple opinions will help because you can see the argument from their point and try to understand what they are feeling. Multiple opinions can also help you make a strong decision based on if you agree or disagree with what the opinions say.
I was in a horrible argument with one of my friends. When we were fighting I searched for multiple opinions and it helped me make the right decision. After I talked to my mom and dad about what was happening they helped me realize that the girl was never a good friend to me and that I deserve a real friend.
Different views help with more than just arguments; they can help with forming your own opinion too. Last year I took civics class and I didn't fully have an opinion formed on politics. I started watching the news and political debates and I formed my own opinions on current issues. If I had only watched one news program or only listened to one person's campaign then I wouldn't have known that there was a different way to see things and I would have never formed a good opinion.
Whenever seeking advise you should always look for a variety opinions because someone could be wiser and already have lived through what you're going through.

291D2BC7F86A,"Dear Principal,
I am writing this letter regarding the possible new policy change of students grades and their ability to participate in extra-curricular activities. I think your proposition to require students to have a B average to participate in sports is unreasonable. I believe this because if you take a look at the grading scale, a student with a C average is considered as an average student. As you probably know, at our school there is a large amount of students who have and maintain a C average. Your new policy restricts average students from participating in after school activities. I believe this is unfair because many kids take project-based classes that sometimes only have four to five grades entering the grade book a semester. If one kid flukes up and gets a D or an F on his or her first project, they will have to wait quite a long time to bring their average back up in order to participate in extra-curricular activities.
I am all for putting restrictions on students who are failing classes, but kids who have a C average and work hard to maintain that average should not be punished for their grades.
Also, if you raise the standards for qualification to play in after school sports and activities, some of your students may suffer greatly from the effects of the change. I, as a student, know that if fellow students are being pressured to raise a grade higher than what they have, they can end up being bogged down by the pressure and stress. Some students may think that they have no chance in getting a B average, so they give up and just get even worse grades.
We all know that academics come first, and that in order to participate in school sports, students have to work hard in school. Our school's students would suffer and be sad that the C averages they work so hard to achieve will not be good enough to participate in after school sports.
Overall, I think that your possible new policy to require students to maintain a B average is unreasonable because an average grade on the grading scale is a C. This policy would only allow above average students to participate in sports, and while it may propel some students to work harder, it will negatively effect many of our students.

B53910E9E75D,"Dear Principal TEACHER_NAME;
I am representing the athletic people in SCHOOL_NAME that like sports, but also only have a C average. I am strongly against the new change in policy towards the change of the GPA of being able to play. If you bring up the grades the schools team sports will lose good team athletes that are half way decent in the class room, but are exceptional on the field.
Yes there are a majority of students that have B averages but even though they do the percent of them don't make up most of the teams. The teams have different people on them that work in different ways. Yes some kids and parents could argue that the athletes should be smart and well educated, but what they don't say is that the kids should have fun and do what they like to do. Students that can get a middle course grade (a, b, C, d and f) should be able to go out after school and have a fun, disciplined time with their coaches and team mates.
School shouldn't become a place where students don't want to learn and it will become that way if you take away sports for most. I am one that if you raise that average i will change schools because that would make an unfair competition because other schools will have certain students that are phenomenal at sports that have a just above a C average. That would be very unfair because we would lose our talent!

3BA2029AFBC0,"When I have a problem. I like to ask multiple people for advice. That is one of the best ways I figure my problems out. An opinion can have a large affect on me. Depending on who that person is. Honestly, I think people should ask more than one person for advice. When a person in general has a problem. I like to think that two thoughts go through their mind. One, I should figure this problem out in my own. Two, I should ask more than one person for their opinion.
If someone were to listen to them self, they might make the wrong choice. In my opinion, humans tend avoid the things they don't want to do. That could be doing homework, cleaning or making dinner. When it comes to making a decision, you could could be put in a difficult situation. Putting pressure on someone, to make the best choice. Most people offend over think situations. They delay the decision they were going to make. Then they end up listening to them self. Not thinking about the other people involved in the matter. When they really should think about the other people involved.
Asking a variety of people, is more helpful than you would think. Especially if someone were to ask older people. I say that because of the experience they might have. They have been on this earth for a long time. Seeing the changes that have happened over time. It is possible that the person you happen to ask, has been through the same thing or something close to it. An example would be parents. In the end they only want what's best for you. Not to repeat the mistakes they may have made in their life. They can give some great advice.
Psychologically, I think it takes a large toll out of a person's brain. Not telling anyone the problems someone might have, or asking for advice. If someone starts to chose one decision. Then decides to go back and think about the other decisions they may have. It could possibly render the first decision useless. If they decide their first choice was not correct. Leaving that person lost. Not knowing what the right choice is. Keeping that person thinking about the problem for hours and not letting them move on. If you don't tell anyone about the problems you may have. How are they supposed to know? How are they supposed to help you work things out? Asking multiple can help you make a faster decision. Without as much stress involved.
Think of all the positive out comes that can come from asking multiple people for advice. You won't have to worry as much, you will be prepared, and you will let people know what's going on in your life. If it was something extremely bad. Asking a person for advice can help you get away from that situation. Be bullied would be an example of that. It doesn't have to be a bad thing either. If it was someones birthday. You could ask someone for their preference. If you wanted to buy them a gift.
That's why I think it's important for people to ask more than one person for advice. They can help save you from making the wrong decision or spending to much time thinking about it. It also not somthing that you only get advice for something that is bad. It can be helpful tips. People need to depend on each other once in awhile. By the experiences that other people may have. They can tell you stories of there life and how to prepare for next time you may have a problem.

Most of the time its because they are texting while driving. Technology has drastically increased. They seem to use their devices more than anything, which cause them to not want to put their phone down because they are afraid they might miss something. I feel like no matter what happens people might think they know how to pay attention. You still shouldn't do it because you never know what might happen one day.
People feel like they have to reply to a text message immediately , which leads to vehicular accidents that may result in death. The age group that are involved in these accidents is 16 year olds and up to 30. This should take a direct impact on life because it gives people a chance to see what can happen if a person if you text while drive, it can cause your life or someone else's.
However, in 2011, 3,331 people were killed in crashes due to distracted drivers. For this reason, it is very important that we find a way to break the habit of texting and driving. If we don't stop this now the rate of accidents and deaths will quickly increase. Law enforcement have came out with a law when you can not have the phone in your hand , do this work? No, people still text and drive and end up injured or killed. Because of this we should put our phones down or turn them off if you can't keep your hands off it. A text or post can wait if it means it will save your life and someone else's.
Some people might say ""i can multi-task"" or ""i know what im doing"". Those that's saying these things are the main ones that in involved in accidents. No matter what you think you can do you should still always be safe. For example, say you are texting while driving and some one walks across the street and you look up to late then BOOM!, another accident. Always go the safe route and keep your phones put away to avoid these situations.
However, I strongly agree that texting and driving is very dangerous and I have the responsibility to put my phone down and focus on the rode.

Even though cellphones have not been around for a long time It is still a well known fact that our cellphones are a big distraction even when driving. When driving u should be alert and pay attention to all surroundings and while being on your phone u can lose focus and cause a accident. So to answer the question no u should not use a cellphone when driving.
In our current days we have become so focused on how much we can do at once that start to risk our personal safety because no matter where we go we cannot put our phones. We all know some stories of people texting while driving and causing accidents that's how you know that texting while driving is a very dangerous task. To make things clear when u start to text you are putting the lives of other people in your hands because u are careless to pay attention to the road at all times.
Everyday their is a report of someone dying to a driver texting and driving. It's know that cellphones are the key factor that cause accidents. It doesn't matter what u tell people about the issue they will still use the cellphones and that's not okay because I don't feel safe just by walking down the street and a person hits me because they are not paying attention. I don't feel like my life should be in there hands. Some say maybe they are on a emergency call but you can put the phone on speaker without holding the phone to your ear and not driving with full control over the vehicle.
To put it all in perspective if we don't give up cellphones for our own safety the number of accidents will only increase. It's up to the people to take responsibility on this issue.

E6CC884A31A5,"In recent years, many places all around the world have taken the intiative to lower the use of motor-vehicles, specifically cars, with the intent of decreasing the amount of greenhouse gas being emitted into the air. There are various actions being taken in this attempt, with some neighborhoods going as far as eliminating the use of their cars completely. No matter what actions are being taken, the real goal is to improve the planet and the quality of the air that we are breathing.
As mentioned before, one of the main goals of limiting car use is to improve our air by decreasing the amount of greenhouse gases being put into it. If you are driving your car to and from work every single day, and you live in a city where your house/apartment is about 10 minutes away, don't you think you could ride your bike every now and then? Even if you don't have a bike, you could try taking the bus, or maybe even a taxi. By riding your bike, you are eliminating the chance of putting out any greenhouse gases, and by taking the bus, you are reducing the amount of gas being put out.
Aside from improving the environment by limiting car use, you can also improve yourself. Instead of driving your car everyday, you can ride your bike to where you need to go (as previously suggested), and in turn get a small workout. Riding your bike works your muscles, especially your leg muscles, gets your blood pumping, and even reduces stress. If you start riding your bike, you could improve your health and just feel better overall. You can also avoid sitting in a stuffy car and breathe in some fresh air.
In the end, limiting car use seems to have more pros than cons, so it's easy to see why so many places/people have jumped on board with the idea.

Established in 2006, it prohibits street parking, driveways, and home garages, allowing car ownership but limiting parking to large garages on the development's edge, costing $40,000 per space. This innovative concept has led 70% of Vauban’s families to live without cars, with 57% selling their cars to move there. Emphasizing “smart planning,” Vauban is a model in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, a critical factor in combating global warming. The district, home to 5,500 residents, showcases how suburban areas can be more compact, accessible to public transportation, and less car-dependent. This approach aligns with efforts in the U.S. and Europe to develop suburbs that favor public transport and walking, with amenities within walking distance.

05A7516C1381,"Phones & Driving
Texting while driving has become very common in today's society. With all the many Apple and Android products out right now and all the new technology it makes us more engaged into our phones, such as quick reply. Although features like that makes it easier for people to communicate in a time consuming way, it is very obvious that it takes the attention of the driver which could lead them to vehicle involved accidents.
It is never a good idea to be on your phone and drive. It causes major distractions for drivers. According to ""The National Safety Council"" cell phone use while driving leads to 1.6 million crashes each year. Nearly 390,000 injuries occur each year from accidents caused by texting while driving. (Edgar Snyder, 2019). Given this information and other cited sources, it is safe to say that a single text could lead to a tragic accident in a matter of seconds. Drivers should be alert and always pay attention to the road.
Not only is being on your phone while driving dangerous, it is also illegal. The NCSL (National Conference of State Legislators) stated on their website, that texting while driving is banned in forty-eight out of fifty states. Also including Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands. The NCSL website includes state specific regulations regarding texting while driving, informing the public about the different risks and consequences of drivers who are caught texting while driving. The consequences listed on the website include jail time, fines, or loss of license.
In conclusion, I would like to add that texting while driving is a distraction and raises high risks to drivers, passengers, and pedestrians on a daily basis. It only takes five minutes to pull over and text or return a phone call. Using this method ensures the safety for passengers, pedestrians, and drivers while on or near the roadways.

F6CFA4C7247B,"Have you ever seen something that looked like a extra terestrial sight like crop circles, well NASA's Viking 1 saw something that looked like an egyptian face while circling Mars looking for a place for its sister ship (Viking 2).
In 1976, a photo of what was though to be a Ancient Egyptian Face turned out to be a hoax (unintentionally) and was actually just a Land formation with inclined rocks that formed a Shadow that conveyed illusions of two eyes a nose and a mouth. At first this was a very succesful and popular image, a section from the article states that "" The Face On Mars has becoma a pop icon, that starred in a Hollywood film, appeared in books, magazines, radio talk show and even haunted stores for 25 years"". this states that this photo was a clear sign of Extarestrial life, at least at the time.
Although many people beleived this theory was a Alien artifact it was eventually disproven on April 5, 1998 as shown on the article ""And so on April 5, 1998, when Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia for the first time, Michael Malin and his Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) team snapped a picture ten times sharper than the original Viking photos. Thousands of anxious web surfers were waiting when the image first appeared on a JPL web site, revealing . . . a natural landform. There was no alien monument after all"".
Allthough many people still believe that scientists must have missed something and that it really is a allien artifact sorry to burtst your bubble but, you are wrong. See Scientists have been working on this theory for very many years they have gone back and looked at it multiple times, retaken pictures from multiple different angles, Enlarged x3 and still the only thing there is the Martian equivalent of a butte or messa.
On april 8, 2001 a Mars Global surveyor drew close enough for a second look. They then rolled the spacecraft 25 degrees to center the Face in the field of view, Malins team captured an extraordinary photo using the camera's absolute maximum resolution. ""Each pixel in the 2001 image spans 156 meters compared to 43 meters per pixel in the best 1978 Viking photo"".

FF5969F5A2EB,"This country is built on democracy, the idea that all of its citezens have rights and a say in how the country is run. The Electoral College takes away the peoples vote, because in an election, the eligable citezens vote for a candidate, but in reality they are voting for a group of electors who will then vote for the candidate. I believe this is unfair and that the Electoral College should be removed from the country's government.
The first flaw with the Electoral College is that voters cannot directly vote for their favorite candidate. In
Source #2 paragraph 10 , it says; ""
... voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president.
"" If citezens of the United States can't vote for thir own president directly then it takes some of the democracy out of the country. It rarely happens but the electors don't always vote for the candidate with the most popular vote, they can vote for whoever they want, if they really wanted to. This is just one reason I think the Electoral College should be removed, and replaced by a popular vote.
My next reason for replacing the Electoral College with a popular vote is that a tie in the Electoral College is possible. In
Source #3 paragraph 18 , it says; ""
A tie in the nationwide electoral vote is possible because the total number of votes-538-is an even number...
"" If a tie occurs then the vote goes to the House of Representatives, but how will they know the feelings of voters if they vote one party for Congress, and another party for president?
My final reason to get rid of the Electoral College is that a candidate can win the popular vote, but lose the election. In
Source #2 paragraph 9 , it says; ""...
Al Gore- thanks to the quirks of the electoral college-won the poular vote but lost the presidency...
"" If the people's favorite candidate wins the popular vote, a vote representing the country's citezens, but loses the election because of the Electoral College then the system is unfair to voters.
People supporting the Electoral College may say like in
Source #3 paragraph 19 , ""
The Electoral College requires a presidential candidate to have trans-regional appeal. No region (South, Northeast, etc.) has enough electoral votes to select a president.
"" But this country should be about how the people vote, a popular vote would be the same, no region would have enough eligeable voters to elect a president, so a candidate would have to campaign all over the country.
In conclusion I think the Electoral College should be replaced with a popular vote. Voters cannot directly vote for thier choice candidate, ties can occur in the Electoral College, and a candidate can win the popular vote, but somehow still lose the election. The system is unfair to voters, and this country is based on fairness and rights to all of its citezens, so why should the Electoral College get to take away people's rights?

Because if they are on during class it will cause a big distraction to everyone else who is trying to learn. But it is also important to have your cell phone with you in case of an emergency.

If their phones are in their lockers turned off then they cant use them and will not be able to get distracted by other students with their cell phones and will not be tempted to text their friends.

18AC57CFB338,"Have you ever woken up in the morning and wished you could just stay in bed? Many students probably experience this on a daily basis. Luckily, with the advent of computers and the internet, you may not need to leave bed to go to school at all. Many schools already use computers to allow students to work on and turn in assignments online. However, some schools now allow their students to attend their classes online as well. The benefits of this option are significant and numerous. Students would benefit from being able to attend classes from home because they could attend classes under conditions that would normally prevent them from doing so, learn in a more comfortable environment, and reap the benefits of a more logistically efficient system.
Firstly, the option of online classes would allow students to attend classes despite conditions that would normally prevent them from doing so. For example, during winter, schools across the nation often close because of hazardous weather conditions that make it too dangerous to travel to school. However, with online classes, students could simply be instructed online, avoiding many missed days of valuable learning. This system would also take pressure off of school systems to keep schools open on days with questionably dangerous weather. Without worrying about missing yet another day of classes, schools could make the safe choice and close on more of these days. Additionally, it is common for students to stay home a few days when sick so that they can recover and avoid infecting their classmates. However, it is often the case that despite the risk of infecting classmates, students are still well enough to participate in class, but are unable to do so. With the option of online classes, these students could still participate without risking infection. A present day example of the possible utility of online classes is the Coronavirus outbreak. Many school systems worldwide have already shut down as a result of the virus. With online classes, these school systems could continue to instruct their students while also decreasing the risk of Coronavirus spreading. Overall, there are many situations in which online classes allow instruction to continue when not normally possible through traditional methods.
Another reason that students would benefit from online classes is that home can be a better learning environment than school. In general, home is more comfortable than school for many kids. The ready access to food and a bathroom, as well as an environment that one is familiar with, means that many students would be more relaxed learning from home. With a lower stress level, students would likely be more productive and engaged in their classes. Additionally, some students can get stressed out over the classroom environment. Personally, I know that I have felt anxious in situations when I didn't know the answer to a question I was asked or when I had to read aloud. For me, and for many other students, attending classes from home would help to alleviate some of that stress and anxiety. Some may argue that taking classes from home would reduce students' level of focus. However, students already have to focus at home for homework. By having kids focus on a class at home, it would actually help reinforce their ability to focus and be disciplined in an environment in which they could be easily distracted, which is a useful life skill. Overall, in the more relaxed environment of home, students could be much more productive and successful in their classes than if they attended in person.
One more significant reason for providing the option of online classes is that they are much more logistically efficient than classes taught in person. Firstly, there is no travel time from home to the school. Additionally, transition time in between classes and time for lunch could be saved as well. This saved time could be put to various good uses. Classes could be lengthened, or another class could be added to students' schedules. Students could also get more sleep in the morning; many teenagers are chronically sleep deprived, so this would be a massive benefit. Students could also use the extra time to get a job. One argument against online classes is that they would stop kids from learning to interact in person. However, the time saved through online classes would actually allow students to spend more time out with friends, which would teach them to get along with other people well. Another benefit is that students could attend distant schools that would not be practical to attend in person. Besides the saved travel time, switching to more online classes would eliminate a great deal of paper waste, as many more assignments and materials would probably be online. This would benefit the environment, and it would keep students from having to keep track of both physical and digital assignments and documents. Finally, school systems could save money on a great deal of physical infrastructure, such as school buildings, classroom materials, and buses. The funds saved could be redirected towards giving students computers, paying teachers more, or investing in better learning resources. Overall, the saved time and money from switching to more online classes would significantly benefit students and teachers.
As technology advances, the classroom should advance as well. By embracing the opportunities created by technology, students can learn in ways never before possible and receive a higher quality education. Through more efficient use of time made possible by technology, students can spend more time having fun or earning money while still learning just as much. The online learning environment can make it easier for some students to get engaged in classes. The money saved because of online classes can be reallocated to improving students' education.

34CC756C2707,"When people ask for advise they often ask more then one person so they can get the best advise possible.
I think that people should ask multiple people for advise because they feel that different people will have different ideas about something, so if they ask multiple people they get good advise that is not flawed.
Some examples of people asking for advise from Several people are, when I wanted to get a new fishing rod one of the workers said that the one I was looking at was very durable, but then I looked up the reviews of the product online and people said that It broke within a month of them getting it. Another example is when my brother and I wanted to get a new shiftier for our racing simulator, we looked at a video of someone who bought one that we were looking and they said that they did not like it and that it was poorly made. After we watched that video we looked at some other videos on it and they said that it was one of the best ones you could buy for a reasonable price. One final example of why you should always ask multiple people for advise is when my family and I went to a karting shop to get some new parts that had worn on our karts, when we got there we knew exactly which ones were good and bad because we asked people at the racetrack for advise on which parts we should get, most of them agreed on what parts we should and should not get.
Some details of why you should get more than one persons opinion are that some people are bias with their opinion, for example one person might think that one thing is better to do just because that is what they do even though it may not be the best thing to do. Also some people may not have good advise for you if they never had to do something similar or they just dont know what you are asking them about. One more thing is that one person might just give you bad advise even if they dont mean to, so asking for lots of peoples opinions would be good so you have a higher chance of getting good advise.

Even thought many try they still lack behind on learning new things and need extra help on picking up the work.

I think drivers should not be able to use cell phones in any capacity while operating vehicle. Its puts innocent lives at risk. It's more likely to cause a wreck. And also is illegal in many states. Cellphones should be put up so everyone can safe while driving.
Being on your cellphone while driving vehicles can put innocent lives at risk. You make decisions to text and drive, you make the decision to risk the lives around you. For instance, in the passage ""Reason to Stop Texting and Driving"", it says ""Actions of ""answering a text"" or just looking at a text, means that you will selfishly put other people's lives in danger"". The innocent people such as young children, friends, and etc. did nothing wrong to cause you to risk their live due to your poor decision. Its one thing to put your own like in danger, but unfair to risk lives of others.
Texting while driving can most likely cause a big wreck. In the studies of drvivngtest. org, it shows that those who text and drive are 23% more likely to be involved in a car accident. Wrecking your vehicle will cause you to pay car insurance, also pay for the car to get fixed. You basically just risking life and others around you, which will cause you to pay even more insurances. You will have to [pay the price for the mistake of texting and driving.
And also, texting while driving is illegal in many states. In passage ""Reasons to Stop Texting Fines and Driving"" it says ""punishments for texting and driving range depends on what states you live in"". For some states, the fines is $20, however, it can be up to $500. If action of texting and driving get anyone injured, you can end in jail. This is the icing on the cake as to why you shouldn't text and drive.

60FFF26260C1,"From a young age students are told that school is the primary and for many the only responsibility they hold. Now this may be true for the majority of a child's life as a scholar: up until they're final years of school. At this point students lives are composed of many more factors, as opposed to when they were in elementary or middle school. They're more likely to have a job, some may even have families of their own. Not to mention they are more prone to social issues such as bullying and anxiety, which can easily lead to depression. These are just a few reasons as to why online or video conferencing schooling are greatly beneficial.
In a school where their are all types of personas each distinct from the other there are bound to be conflicting differences which can lead to bullying. As students grow in age they are more likely to silence bullying behavior to authority figures and try to solve the issues between themselves. This could cause the conflict to be unresolved as well as to increasingly worsen. Physical harassment could easily become a factor to the issue. This could push the victim to drug use, self harm, and in tragic instances suicide as forms to cope with bullying. Education away from school could work as a resolution to many of these cases. It would allow students to learn in a safe zone away from threats.
School can be highly stressful for some students more then other. Students who struggle with mental illnesses such as anxiety, PTSD, OCD, and cluster phobia are at major risk of experiencing an episode or attack in a school environment. Students with these struggles are likely to focus less on their academics and more on avoiding possible triggers. Distant learning would permit these students to educate in a comfortable space. Some may argue that exposure to a triggering environment could allow students to become accustomed to what sparks them. This is true however, exposure should be conducted in a controlled environment where the student can be pulled out of if they become overwhelmed, not at school where most factors are uncalled for.
Students enter school as kids and graduate as adults but many begin to adult before their graduation date. Many scholars become a part of the work force, some voluntarily, for others its mandatory. School hours could become a true interference for the student. Speaking from experience working long hours then proceeding to wake up early the next morning for class has proven difficult. Showing up tardy or missing the school day completely due to tiredness is not uncommon. As well as struggling to keep up with class work and maintaining satisfying grades. This could become the cause of failing classes, the school year, and most disappointing dropping out of school all together. Having the choice of nontraditional out of school education could be the most reasonable option for these scholars. They would have the privilege of attending school on their own schedule, allowing for a balance between their academics and personal lives.
Scholars are often faced with not only entering adulthood while attending school but parenthood as well. This could be the single most difficult situation as well as the most likely for a student to drop out if in. Morning sickness, doctor visits, and any complications are just three of the many excuses for absences in school during the pregnancy. Without mention of the postpartum reasons, the biggest being the caring for the child itself. One if not both parents are likely to enter the work force to be able to meet economic needs. This leaves no room for traditional schooling. Luckily the young parents can take advantage of at home schooling and can continue to attend school and graduate to the very best of their ability.
Traditional school may be right for the majority of students, but for other schools its perceived as a challenge and interference to other variables in their lives. Without at home online and video conference classes it would be difficult and close to impossible to continue attending and to graduate school for these students. These nontraditional choices open doors and allow for opportunities they other wise would not have.

CA582B3F191F,"If you wanted advice who would you talk to? When people seek multiple opinions it can help someone make better choices. i agree with this because people attend to help others and be there with you when you need someone to talk to. And also help you to make better choices for you.
My first reason is that it helps you think what choices are best for you when you need them. second, people that know you well like for an example your family, knows what's right or wrong for you. so you dont have to worry of what they're going to say. Because they know that they wont make you think more. finally, you will hear multiple opinions to hear from. Until you feel that you agree with any opinion. and knowing that it could help you prevent anything that could happen in the future when you need it.
My second reason is that it could help you get rid of the negative thoughts and thinking less when you know you have multiple advice and opinions. second, the more people you have by your side are the best choices you make. because they support you and will give you great advice. And also giving small talks (advice). because they know how you feel and know what you like to hear from others. finally, it could help to improve ideas and thoughts you might ve had in your head. because you think how you plan out your ideas without making a mistake.
My third reason is you have a chance to make better choices when you get advice from others. And it could also help not to make mistakes. And that the one of reasons you get advice is because you learn from your mistakes whether its something bad or good. second people who offer you advice, often could lead you to a right path. if you trust them. Mostly people who gets lead to a right path often listens to people's advice and follows their heart to whats right or wrong for them. And usually thinks if it's worth it or not. finally you dont have to be alone when you need advice because their always that one person that is there for you to talk to even if you dont seem them familiar.
We all ask for opinions right? and its normal that we do because it could help us during life. Not everybody gets that chance like we do because some people been doing by their own and thats totally fine you could also do that but having others help you and giving you multiple options is a way easier to get a better future i know not all of might not agree with that and its fine because all people have different ideas!.
In conclusion, advice could take people anywhere even if you dont believe me. But it does. having a good variety of choices is better than having none. Because the good choices could take you to a better future, better education and good career. but having none could take no where.

89D979169B57,"Extracurricular activities are very important in a students life. They develop communication skills, social skills, and among others, your ability to work well with other people. On the other hand, they should not be required for all students to participate in. Although all students could possibly find something they're interested in when it comes to after school activities, such as clubs or sports, not all students are capable of handling the responsibilities that come along with an extracurricular activity. Have you ever come to the conclusion that not every student can even maintain good grades at school? For some children, it's harder to balance school work and their everyday life alone, but if you add an extracurricular activity to their plate of responsibilities, it may be too much for them to handle. For a principal to make extracurricular activities a necessity at school, is not very considerate. As an adult you must realize that not every person, let alone children, can handle the same work load as others can.
Even though research has shown that extracurricular activities can be very beneficial for people, as it pertains to their physical, and mental well-being, it can also be damaging if too much work is placed upon one person alone. Stress is a very common factor in a child's life, and the majority of it is from life at home, and the excessive amount of work received at school. But in comparison, some kids can handle the load, and like the responsibility given to them. Not all children are like that though, and that is what the principal fails to realize. Although the principal may not have come to light about the amount of stress that could potentially be put on the students, the gesture to make the activities a necessity was most likely at their best interest at heart.
For the kids that work well under pressure, or have the capability to handle the challenges they face, the change in the schools priorities for the students probably won't affect them as much. Although only one extracurricular activity would be required, not all students could be able to wisely manage their time to fit the activity in their schedule. Also, maybe not all students would be able to find something they enjoy with the options given at their school. If someone were to make it a priority for all students to participate in an extracurricular activity, it would be extremely recommended for the person to make the activity choices an exceptionally wide variety, so that it is more likely for students to find the things they enjoy to do. With the exception of making sure that there would be an activity to match each students interest, the idea would not be too bad. But in the same breath, that'd require some type of survey or application of some type, that every student must take in order to find out their interests, so that way making the activities wont be as difficult. Although keep in mind, that not every student may want to participate regardless of whether or not there is an activity they might enjoy.
There are some students that just don't like the idea of doing extra work when it's not required. It's not necessarily that they're lazy, but they just dont see the importance of going out of their way to do something that they can't see the immediate benefits to. Enforcing the change could arouse some anger in a vast majority of students, and possibly parents, but if the students are given an option to not participate in an extracurricular activity, things would most likely run a lot smoother. Most people would call these types of kids, ""average"" due to the fact that they settle for the amount of work given, and typically don't want to exceed expectations. Perhaps making them participate in beneficial activities wouldn't hurt, they just need to be a little more open minded to the idea at hand. But the idea as a whole would potentially cause a lot of stress to the principal, considering that not every child will have the same perspective on the idea, nor will their parents.
Yes, the motion being taken will have several benefits, and several stressful altercations, but at the end of the day everyone is different, and not everyone is going to have the same opinion when it comes to this situation. Even though the principal is only asking each student to participate in at least one extracurricular activity, it still may be too much to ask of some kids, considering their life outside of school, and what they find important in their lives as far as activities go. But maybe enforcing this act could open not only the students' eyes, but the parents as well, that trying new things isn't always such a bad idea, sometimes we just need a little push to get us started. But despite all the possible benefits of the idea, it still probably shouldn't necessarily be a requirement for all students to participate in an extracurricular activity. You never know how much stress someone deals with just by handling their personal life, one activity may not seem like much to you, but for some people one activity could be a handful. Forcing the students to participate in activities that they may not like, could possibly lead to a decrease in social skills, instead of an increase.

We would like you to be our newest Seagoing Cowboy. After your first trip you might even want to invite your friends to become a Cowboy too.
Seagoing Cowboys see new places, because of the work that they do. They must take food, animals, and supplies to countries who can not grow and thrive after tragic accidents. In the passage Luke Bomberger and his friend Don Reist become Seagoing Cowboys and work together on a boat traveling to Europe. In Europe the people had just fought in World War II and had no food or supplies, not even animals. So the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration sent supplies and animals on a ship to help the people in Europe.
Seagoing Cowboys learn responsiblity by taking care of the animals and crew members on board their ship. In the article Luke must take care of horses, young cows, and mules by giving them water and food, cleaning the pens, and pulling hay and supplies from the lower decks.

I like the idea of community service. It could benefit us in many ways such as getting into better high schools and job reference. Though i don't think it should be a requirement because people have many things to do like sports and daily tasks. It also depends on how many hours you must do because that could also affect my decision. It would be nice to have everyone do community hours if it was possible but sometimes you just cannot. Such as getting a ride there or where to go. Those are the few problems that come along.
I think it should be mandatory at a short amount of time because then people would try to do it and not really affect their lives much. It is possible to do this but some will not because they think it doesn't really matter. There should also be consequences if you don't do them otherwise people won't do them. Like if you didn't do your hours you could not participate in a event or they would not be able to go to the next grade level.
We should increase the hours of community service every year. At first we should have two hours then three and we build off of that.

I do not approve of you requiring students to perform community service. Community service was something designed to punish people who do mischief. Requiring students to perform community service may make some students feel liken trouble makers. The school should not take away time that students could use to study, do homework, or exercise.
If you do require students to do community service then some students may do more mischief because they will be doing community service anyway. If these students do more mischief that will be more work for the other students to do. If community service is required the law department will have no way of punishing students for what they have done.
If you require students to take part in community service then some parents may be offended that their child is required to do something that was originally a punishment. While doing community service students may meet kids who got it as a punishment and befriend them while that student is from the ""bad group"". Since community service takes up a large amount of time students grades may start to slip because they have less time to study and do homework.

7E2EF53A56BC,"In ""The Challenge of Exploring Venus,"" the author describes why putting a man on the moon seems like a walk in the park compared to the horrendous obstacles preventing humans from pushing the frontier with visiting one of Earth's neighbors, Venus. The thick atmosphere is toxic to us. The clouds of sulfuric acid, the incredibly high temperatures on the planet's surface, and pressure would present challenges to mankind and its technology.
Yet, the author sees that mankind cannot be afraid of the risks when the rewards are so great. In ""The Challenge of Exploring Venus,"" the idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents is supported through Venus' vast similarities to Earth, Venus' proximity to Earth, and the innovation in machines by researchers that could make them work long enough to expand mankind's knowledge on Venus.
The idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers is supported through Venus' vast similarites to Earth, which is why humans have such interest in this particular planet. The author explains points in Venus' history that have intrigued astronomers, ""Long ago, Venus was probably covered largelyt with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, "" (4). Besides having been closer to Earth's ""twin"" many years ago, Venus may be more similar than humans thought, shown through ""The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters,"" (4). Studying Venus could lead to us knowing why this planet is such a far cry from Earth now, and this could provide valuable with how humans interact with their environment. If Venus has such similar features to Earth, like valleys, then there is probably more to discover on Venus' surface. This peculiar connection between this planet and Venus shows how valuable exploration could prove, just as Venus' proximity further supports how worthy of a pursuit Venus is.
The idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the presented dangers is supported through Venus' proximity. The author conveys the usefulness of having Venus so close, ""Because Venus is sometimes right around the corner-in space terms-humans have sent numerous spacecraft to land on this cloud-draped world,"" (2). Time and distance can be very influential in making groundbreaking decisions, like pursuing the exploration of Venus, as can be seen through, ""...Venus can be sometimes be our nearest option for a planetary visit, a crucial consideration given the long time frames of space travel,"" (4). Humans love to have everything near by, like schools, work, and more, because of the convenience; the same benefit is seen with Venus. When the planet is close, the fuel needed would not be the same if humans were trying to get to Jupiter. There would be less of a chance of losing them. Time is essential in space, given humans' limited control out there, so proximity makes it that much easier for us to make the bold move. Venus's proximity gives reason to continue working towards exploring Venus, just as the innovations in machines have.
The idea that Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it brings is supported through the innovation in machines that could make the close-up exploration of Venus possible. NASA's advancements for Venus exploration are promising, ""For example, some simplified electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of Venus's surface and have lasted for three weeks in such chaos,"" (7). Humans would not be able to use the most advanced technology, but durability is the goal, ""By comparison, systems (mechanical computers that use gears and levers to calculate) that use mechanical parts can be made more resistant to pressure, heat, and other forces,"" (7). If humans were to only hover over Venus, the possibilites are limited. Humans and technology have to be as close as possible. Technology that could last for a few weeks is enough to vastly expand our knowledge. Mechanical computers are now obsolete, but in Venus would be a valuable tool, just like the other electonics being made. Researchers have worked tirelessly to continue making Venus exploration a reasonable reality.

Students should be able to have there phones at school. the reason why is because phones bring joy to anyone at school.

Also if some one gets there phone stolen its not really your fault they chose to have them out you weren't telling them to have it out. Another reason is that it will stop kids from texting in class because they've texted enough outside. this will make every ones life easer. I believe that since you give them the opportunity they will do so. also it will improve friendship because the shy people will no longer be shy and they will spread there wings and fly. What is also good about is that if there is an emergency every student can get help. another thing is that a phone has basic needs like calculators so it will serve as a helping hand. But one thing is needed to be done it is that phones needed to be collected before a test because that can be a contributing factor to grades. So in conclusion policy one should be accepted.

E286AD066204,"It is no question that some teachers like to give out work over the summer. In fact, some schools even require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning over their break. There are those arguing that such projects should be student-designed; however, this is a bad idea in the long run. Although some may disagree, summer projects should be teacher-designed.
There are a variety of reasons as to why summer projects should be designed by teachers. For starters, teachers know the curriculum and know what students need to learn, especially for the upcoming school year. Teachers can also give an overall theme and provide many mini topics for the students to do their project on to help with creativity and a higher chance of individuality. Teachers can also hand out rubrics for their students to help them stay on track and to let them know what should and what should not be included in their projects.
There are additional reasons as to why summer projects would be better off if they were teacher-designed. Projects designed by teachers can almost always guarantee a student is learning. Students do not know it all, so if they were to create their own summer project, it would most likely be based around something that they already know much of; however, if a teacher designed the project, this would insure a way of making sure all students learn something new. Teacher-designed projects are also a way for students to get a taste of what the following school year is going to be like, which can give them a head start. Lastly, if students designed their own projects, the chances of it being organized is slim-to-none; whereas, if teachers designed the projects, it would have a purpose, a flow, and be well organized all at the same time.
Although some may disagree, teacher-designed summer projects deem to hold much more beneficial qualities over student-designed projects. From keeping an overall theme and being well organized to helping students get a leg-up for the upcoming school year, teacher-designed projects just have a more positive outlook overall. Although student-designed projects seem like a good idea, it will ultimately just turn into a giant, unorganized mess where the students do not even learn anything new. In conclusion, summer projects would be better off if it were designed by teachers.",,388,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

3B5EE97C7C53,"Driverless cars would be very beneficial to our society. It would make an immense impact on our culture and provide simple, fast ways to get around. In the article, many different positives are thoughouly expressed. Because of these specific examples, I believe that driverless cars will be extremely important in America's future and greatly benefit our use of transportation.
The United States, as well as other parts of the world, experience oil and fuel issues. There are frequent shortages of these particular substances, which are extrememly important for our daily lives. In the article, it is said, ""The cars he foresees would use half the fuel of today's taxis and offer far more flexibility than a bus. He believes such cars would fundamentally change the world."" In this quote, from the article ""Driverless Cars Are Coming,"" Google cofounder Sergey Brin expresses that these driverless cars will be beneficial to America and the rest of the world. He says that these cars will use less fuel, which unfortunately tends to run short. Driverless cars will benefit the the world's fuel issues.
Another positive to driverless cars are the entertainment and noficiation aspects. Drivers will be able to get different things done while driving. They also will no longer need to worry about distraction factor of driving. Drivers won't have to worry about trying to answer a phone call, respond to a text, or change a song and drive at the same time. The article states, ""Some manufacturers hope to do that by bringing in-car entertainment and information systems that use heads-up displays. Such displays can be turned off instantly when the driver needs to take over-something not available to driveres trying to text with a cell phone. In this way, the in-car system is actually a safety feature, and safety is a big concern."" In this quote, Dr. Werner Huber, a BMW project manager driver, explains that a driver won't need to worry about answering a text. The driver can answer the text or phone call while the car is not in need of assistance. Fortunately, the car only needs manual assistance in areas of road construction or accidents. This feature of driverless cars will greatly benefit driving today.
However, these driverless cars still do obtain some faults. These faults are included in the article. ""They can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves, but all are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills, such as navigating through work zones and around accidents. This means the human driver must remain alert and be ready to take over when the situation requires."" This shows that drivers must retain some sort of awareness of what is going on around them. They cannot take naps or completely zone out, especially when approaching an accident or work zone. Although there are few flaws to the designs of driverless cars, these flaws should be fixed very soon. The article states, ""Automakers are continuing their work on the assumption that the problems ahead will be solved. Tesla has projected a 2016 release for a car capable of driving on autopilot 90 percent of the time. Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Nissan plan to have cars that can drive themselves by 2020. The road to the truly autonomous car stretches on ahead of us, but we grow closer to the destination every day."" This quote shows that many of these issues should be resolved in the very near future.
Because of these specific examples in the article ""Driverless Cars Are Coming,"" I believe that driverless cars will be very beneficial to America and it's many modes of transportation. Driverless cars will use less fuel than our typical cars we use today. They will also require an immensely small amount of attention. Most importantly, any small flaw that these cars possess will be resolved extremely soon.

I, Luke Boberger, am a former Seagoing Cowboy and I have crossed the Atlantic Ocean 16 times and have crossed the Pacific Ocean twice to help those affected by World War II. Being a Seagoing Cowboy was a great adventure, but it was also more than that. It opened up the world to me.
If you join the Seagoing Cowboys, you get to see, and sometimes visit, amazing and beautiful places. When myself and the crew first set sail from New Orleans to deliver 335 horses to Greece, I couldn't wait to get there. I saw the Acropolis in Greece, and it was beautiful! When delivering animals to these foreign lands, I also got the side benefit of seeing a lot of Europe and China. I got to take a gondola ride in Venice, Italy, explore an excavated castle in Crete, and I marveled at the Panama Canal on my way to China.
By joining the Seagoing Cowboys, you get the important, but rewarding, job of caring for those in dire need. When I joined the Seagoing Cowboys, I had no idea the happiness you receive from helping those who need help. By delivering food supplies, animals, and even more, you make these people's lives a lot more easier. You are giving them food, animals to make into food, and animals to help with work. Helping these citizens really opened my eyes to the rest of the world.
The final thing I'm going to tell you about is having fun. When I was on the ship, and the animals and supplies had been delivered, we had fun on the ship. It wasn't the reason I had joined, but it is definitely a joyous side benefit. Us cowboys would play baseball and volleyball games where animals had been kept. We also held table-tennis tourneys, fenced, boxed, read, and whittled to pass the time. It's amazing what you can do when you're bored on a nearly-empty ship!
These are the reason why I believe that all able and willing men need to join the Seagoing Cowboys. You get to see wonderful lands. You also can have fun on the ships.

3F1D5295B714,"All students should have to participate in extracurricular activities. The principle has made this a school rule and some people believe that it is a poor decision. They think the students won't have enough time to do their schoolwork, their extracurricular activity, and anything else that they have to do. While others believe it is a good decision because it gives the students some time to have fun in their busy lives. I agree with the principle because it helps the kids make friends, it helps them get involved with the school, and it gives them something to look forward to throughout the day.
The principles new rule helps the kids meet new people. A kid could be considered weird or gross by others but if they were on the same sports team or were on the student council together they might realize that he wasn't weird and that he was actually a good person. Someone may have just moved into the area but doing yearbook with other students could help them make a lot of new friends. Making friends could help kids a lot down the road too. They could become best friends with someone all because they played basketball together in middle school. My best friends are the ones that I play lacrosse with, not the ones that I have classes with or eat lunch with. Making friends is a great reason to make every kid do an extracurricular activity but it also helps kids get involved in their school.
The principles new rule helps the students get involved in so many other parts of the school. If they were to be in the student council or working on the yearbook they would care a lot more about the school then if they just went to school and went home. If they played baseball for their school it may entice them to go watch other sports at the school like football or soccer. It also may make them want to go watch the high school baseball game. I am in the students government at my school and it definitely makes me feel more apart of the school then if I was just trying to get through the day. The more a student does within their school, the more involved they feel. Getting involved in the school isn't the only reason the principle's new rule was good, it also gives the students something to look forward to while they are in school.
The principle's new rule that makes every kid do an extracurricular activity also gives kids something to look forward to while they are in school. School can be boring for a lot of kids and a lot of them wake up and don't want to go, but if they have practice right after school it could help them keep a positive attitude throughout the day. If I know that I have lacrosse practice that day my personality lights up but on days where I don't have anything after school, I get a little annoyed. If a student is in class is getting really bored, they might remember that they have yearbook after school and it could help them focus because they don't want to get any homework and have to do that instead of yearbook. School can be very boring sometimes but if the students have something to look forward to it can help the day go by just a little quicker.
If every student has to do an extracurricular activity it could help the student body as a whole in so many ways. Making new friends, getting involved in the school, and having something to look forward to throughout the day can really help a student thrive and grow in their environment but those aren't the only benefits to making it mandatory to participate in an extracurricular activity. There are many other ways that benefits to the students. Doing an extracurricular activity can help students in multiple ways so making it mandatory is a great idea from the principle.

22DB84B437CC,"What do think of extracurricular activities? Usually they are programs or activities outside of work or school. In this case it's school and, not all students like doing them because they don't like to interact with others or they don't have an interest for it. Some schools require extracurricular activities and I agree because it's a chance to have new hobbies and friends.
To start, by doing extracurricular activities you can discover new hobbies. Some students are required to do extracurricular activities and have found a new hobby or interest doing so. I believe it is a good thing because by having new hobbies they can also discover new career paths to go along with it. Therefore, when a student decides to get a job or when they graduate they might have some experience in that area due to the extracurricular activities. Students could also use these hobbies in their everyday life or even boost their confidence in something like SCA. However, some of these extracurricular activities are not all hobbies but, long-term thing like sports. Sports can be a good way to boost confidence and how social a student is in public, at home, and school.
Lastly, doing activities outside of school is also a great way to make friends. Activities such as sports, SCA, or any hobbies can be a good way to spark new friendships. These friends could be long or short-term but, by having friends can produce more interacting with others and more participation in extracurricular activities. The only downside is, horsing around or being engaged in conversation while participating in activities. However, students who are not very social with others could make friends an have someone to support them when they need it. This could also benefit others participating because they could engage in conversation, depending on the activities, and have the opinion of that students.
Overall, by doing activities outside of school students could discover new hobbies and make new friends. Extracurricular activities are not only good for what they are meant to be but, for boosting parts of a persons personality that might be low.

9C95376E8F12,"If it is Summer break for a student and teachers assign them projects to do over that time, would it be easier and/or more efficient for the student to design their own project or, for the teachers to design it for them ?
Here's why teachers designing the projects for the student makes more sense.
Firstly,due to the fact that if the students are given a teacher designed project they'll most likely have more of an outline of instruction or better direction in which to take it, otherwise the students may not know what to do at all and come up with nothing, The student, if given the chance to design their own may make it too easy for themselves and ultimately learn nothing new over break, Finally the teacher has the opportunity to make something they know the student will be able to understand and manage (as long as they know the student well enough).
Going into more detail with each of these examples now; if the teacher doesn't design a project for the student they may become overwhelmed or confused as stated previously, they could easily lose track of what they're doing because the stress of school holds little weight over them because it is summer and they don't feel the urge to take it as seriously.
However if the teacher does this and makes clear, understandable instructions on what to do and how to do it, the student may feel less overwhelmed or lost, and end up getting it done in a reasonable amount of time and with a good grade as well.
Additionally, if the students make it, they could very well make it TOO easy for themselves without prior outlining of what to do, such as a poster or something of that caliber. All the student needs to do to get it finished is slap a couple pictures on it and write down minimal information about whatever they may be creating that project for. If students were to take such an easy route, the chances of them retaining that information is extremely low.
Finally, the final in depth example on why teachers should make summer projects for their students if their school participates in this rule, Teachers are more than likely reachable over the course of the Summer if the students are still confused as to what they're doing thus making the help of a teacher via email available.
This all isn't to say that there aren't any perks to the students designing these themselves (assuming the student is responsible);
An argument could be brought on to some of these examples saying, maybe if the student doesn't like the project the teacher has created for them, the student could become bored and uninterested, leaving them with a creativity block, that just makes them want to go and do things that their Summer break is for. As well as The student may work more diligently and productively in general if they have creative freedom to do what they want, or can imagine going well with their projects. Third and finally, if the student has no creative freedom they could unintentionally spend more of their break doing something was given to them to do than they had initially thought.
Though there are valid examples for either side to choose from, the side in favor of teachers designing said projects, overall out weighs the other. The percentage of students who can work well from a standard academic point, to the percentage of students who work better at their own pace and creativity level is unequal but, Students with standard learning skills greatly out number the creative working students on average, in most places at least.
Again, teachers provide more help to a greater number of students, They create an outline of instruction, and they keep most students from cheating and making things too easy for themselves.
In conclusion either side could potentially be chosen to argue from but, the question still stands, Would it be easier for teachers or students to create these projects ?",,658,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

724CFBF0B317,"Yes I am with the value of using this technology to read students emotional expressions.
I am with it because it would get to know the students better and make them into a better person. It could also help you be on task more and not be distracted by the little things you see.
I see it could help from these evidence in the artical because right here it says ""A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored"". In that sentance it is saying that a classroom computer is knowing when a student is confused or bored I think if a computer knew exactly when that was I think it would be pretty cool. Going into the computer and the computer knowing what you are and who you are and how you deal with your life is pretty rare to do.
Another way I strongly agree on is for instance you can probably tell how a friend is feeling simply by the look on there face right?
of course but image a computer doing the same thing. Dr. haung ovserves that artist such as da vinci studied a human anantomy to hlep them paint facial muscles precisely enought to convey the most important emotions. Others think on how you feel the first day is how you will feel the 2nd day and then its just gonna keep going until you need or get help. What if somebody was getting mentily abused from somebody cruel and rude and they did not say anything to anyone. Well thats why we got the computer to help us out and it would tell us how it really felt on who they are.
Helping others out could really benefit somebodys life in alot of ways. Techology would really need more and more advice from other companys. in paragraph 3 it says "" The process begins when the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face and all 44 major muscles in the model must move like human muscles"". Im that sentace it is talking about more of the muscles than computers.
Then test on the humans to see if they are showing ""emotional expressions"". You may be able to test there musscles and if they are hard and twich alot it shows that they are lieing or if they just relax and let it go through like you should it would show the truth.
A conclution of this is that my opinion i think we should have it around earth because I think we as people need to help others if they are having bad problems with there lives so thats why we need the computer to test them out and see how they are doing with it.

Recently we have discovered a landform on mars that has the appearance of a human face. Many believe the face is ancient alien artifacts, and some believe it is a landform known as a Mesa or a Butte. This article will explain why this ""Face"" is not an alien artifact.
About 25 years ago a spacecraft oribting mars called the viking 1 was searching for landing spots for its sister ship called the viking 2. In 1976 Viking 1 took a picture of something that had the appearnace of a face, NASA could not explain it at first. After some research that mission controllers came to the conclusion that is was another martian mesa, they were common in the region of Cydonia on planet mars. A few days later NASA decided to unveil the image for all to see. The face on mars became a huge hit in pop culture it was featured in movies, books, magazines, and even on radio talk shows. Many people begain to think the face was evidence of aliens on mars and were confused because NASA would want to hid ethe evidence of aliens on mars. ""Some people think the face is bona fide evidence of life on mars."" Although few scientist believed the face was an alien artifact, Photographing Cydonia became a tp priority. NASA took pictures of the face every chance they had. In 1988 Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia for the first time and took good pictures of the face. When the photo was seen it was proof of no alien life it was just a landform on mars. Many were not satisfied and wanted more proof so in 2001 the Mars Global Surveyor drew close enough to take more detailed pictures. When the scientist got the picture it shows a martian butte or mesa and the scientist compared it with the Middle Butte in the snake river plain of idaho in the american west.

I also think they should add an extra curricular activity that would be more calming, like yoga or just a class on something thats calm, or on how to calm yourself in a stressful situation. i also think there should be a after school club where you can just talk or play board games or card games with your friends in the cafeteria or gym, or even in a section of the halls, if thats allowed because that would make it more likely that more students will show up after school to do things with their friends.

""Taking care of a dog can be difficult because you have to make sure that they get plenty of time to play outdoors, you have to feed them, and you have to walk them at least 3 to 4 times a day."" The lady explained. "" ""Thank you for the advice."" Generic_Name said. ""No problem."" The lady replied
When people usually ask for advice its more likely that they are going to ask more than one person because they want to make the best choice that is for them. By doing this you can make better choices, make your decisions faster, and you can also help others around you yo make better decisions.
Seeking multiple opinions can help someone make better decisions. First, when people ask multiple opinions for advice he or she are most likely going to make better decisions because when seeking multiple opinions you have more than one choices to choose from. For example, if a person is going around asking for advice whether if he or she should own a pet, he or she will have many choices to choose from due to the number of people he or she asked. Secondly, some people might even come across having the same advice from different people. For instance, if a girl is asking people advice for how to take care of a cat most people would say that ""you have to feed them daily and clean their litter box once or twice a week."" Therefore, by seeking multiple opinions sometimes it's best if people seek more than one opinion.
Seeking multiple opinions can help someone make decisions faster. To begin with, usually when people have more than one decision, he or she can choose their best choice quicker. For instance, if someone is debating whether if he or she should get a new car or not, he or she has a better chance of making the decision faster because of the amount of information and opinions he or she has. Furthermore, it also makes it easier to make a decisions because some people might have bad advice or information, so it will be easier if you eliminate the choices that you think are the worst. As a result, seeking multiple opinions can help people make decisions faster and easier.
Seeking multiple opinions can help some other people. First, if you are able to collect information then it is most likely that you can help out a friend make better decisions. For example, if one of your friends is having trouble deciding whether he or she should buy a new phone. You could probably help them out in the same way you did for yourself. Furthermore, you can even help him or her by doing the work together meaning that both you and your friend can work everything out so he or she could get the job done. As a result, he or she probably made a better choice because you helped her or him through the process.
In conclusion, when people are seeking opinions they tend to ask more than one person because they want to be able to make better decisions, make their decisions faster, and they can help others.

DDB51D1B4A5F,"Dear TEACHER_NAME,
I heard that you were deciding on whether we should or shouldn't do community service as a requirement. I don't think that you should make students do community service. I have some reasons on why you should not make us.
1. Those hours of community service could be spent doing homework or studying. Someone who does sports barely has enough time to get their stuff done as it is. Let alone adding some more hours to that of being away from your homework. Some people might have other things in their life that takes up plenty of time. Someone with broken bones needs physical therapy. Some people might have parents who are split up, and they only get to spend time with one of the parents for a little each week.
2. People who don't do community service will find it hard because they have never done it before. They can be taught, yes, but if you are trying to do something nice, it should be a kind act on your own.
3. Actions without meaning do nothing. If you graciously take time out of your own day on purpose to help others, then you are doing a very kind act. If you are doing it because someone told you to, it has no meaning. It is just a chore.
Those are my reasons on why i think community service should not be forced on the student body. I hope you will take my reasons into consideration, and I hope you will be guided by God in your decision.
From,

8579CD3051BD,"The advantages of limiting car usage would be less pollution, less traffic, and less money involved. For example, in the German suburbs, large garages that are at the end of development where a car-owner buys a space, for $40,000, along with a home. So cut down cost on that Germany people have given up their cars.
Street parking, driveways and home garages are generally forbidden in this experimental new district on the outskirts of Freiburg, near the French and Swiss borders. That doesn't mean that car ownership is not aloud but there is only two places to park, large garages and homes. This cuts down on money costs for Germany by a long shot because with no cars then people don't have to spend money on gas, and Germany's streets will be safe without the cars messing up the roades and less car accidents will occur. Although citics may say that it will be difficult for people to get around, it stands that people are just happier this way. For example, Heidrum Walter is a media trainer and a mother of two says, ""when I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way.""
In Paris, they enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city, after days of near-record pollution. Motorists with even-numbered license plates were ordered to leave their cars at home or suffer a 22-euro fine ($31). Same for the odd-numbered plates the following day. Almost 4,000 drivers were fined. Which is an effective way to lessen pollution in Paris since it is so polluted in the first place. They also said it was easier to imagine than a car-free Champs-Elysees. Doing this got them great results as well, congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of France after five days of intensifying smog, which is rivaled by Beijing, China for being known as one fo the most polluted cities in the world. The smog was cleared enough on Monday for the ruling French party to recind the ban for odd-numbered plates on Tuesday.
In Bogota, Colombia millions of Colombians hiked, biked, skated or took buses to work during a car-free day. Which left the Colombian streets devoid of traffic jams. Traffic jams are pretty annoying and no one wants to go through them so making up a day like this is extremely good for the environment and for your phyci as well. If people would violate this day they would get charged $25 fines. Carlos Arturo Plaza, a businessman said, ""It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution,"" so doing this day it would make people more relaxed and happy but also be good to the enviroment just like in Germany.
In the end of the day, it is important to know that all of these things these countries are doing are for the good of the world. It is good that it is more of a mandatory participation then a optional objective so that people won't take global warming seriously even though it is.

1271164467DA,"What we know about ABC Mouse,Rosetta Stone,and IXL is that they all are very useful and are well known education sites. Though they are such a program to rely on for learning purposes,They get boring and makes it so easy to veer you towards a different purpose of your time ;making it one of my reasons why i feel schools should not conduct out of school online courses. With doing online courses you have to consider having contact with teacher if needed extra help on learning new assignments ,as well as ""trying to play catch up with Bad connection"". Mother always to told me man over machine anyway.
It is guaranteed students wont pay attention to have online classes when they can easily ignore,or postpone for how long they think it is right for them to finish. Without repercussions students themselves will tremendously lower their academic progression. The biggest problem with the public board of Education today is students constantly on their phone distracted with social media;but,at least have disciplinary consequences seeking to slim out the chance to put the screen to your face.
Following up with your teacher is the easiest solution when needing more help on challenging arithmetic and indescribable essays .During an online process it demonstrates the process in which you need to solve. Unlike who i am, I usually need a hands on experience to understand how things work. If you were to consider most of the people like me ,how would you change that option if its within an online course? There are tutors that usually cost too much money as well. There isn't much you can change about someones ability besides feed it for succession.
Technical difficulties could most likely have the biggest impact on someones learning experience when online .Having bad connection , new router, or just not being able to log on at all for some reason. Sometimes when doing my online homework programs it consist of a certain amount of connection and its longevity. Due to not being able to access it that day,it forces me to come to school or a local library to finish it. If that type of problem were implemented in to school board online courses it would either corrupt or erase your progress.
Some would say that it would be a not bad idea to learn at home and do things that don't require of a whole lot of ""class to class"" movement .Some would say that decreasing distractions decrease the amount of stress in wanting to understand the teacher .Poverty has made up about 53% of our country .For those people, how will they ever learn if they don't have the resources in order to become what they can?75% of students in poverty depend on the food the school serves them as well.

C4A4762D911B,"Should school required summer projects be designed by the teacher or the student? I say it should be designed by the student. If the student designs the project, it allows the student to show the teacher what they have learned. This could also help teach students good life skills for later in their lives. Having a teacher design the project, takes away the chance for a student to learn how to be independent. So, students should be in charge of designing their summer projects, because of life lessons they could learn.
If the student does the designing for the project, they can show the teacher what they have learned in their classes. This will also allow the teacher to see what they need to work on more with their students. This being said, it also allows the student to understand what they need to focus on more when learning. If the teacher designs it, the student wouldn't be able to learn as much on what they know or don't know. Thus, it opens up ideas for students to do the project on, and understand why they couldn't do something because they weren't fully understanding one idea, or many.
A great life lesson this summer project can teach the students is how to be independent, reliable, and responsible. It's a great way for the student to be ready for when they graduate school and need to learn how to plan for the future for themselves. If the teacher designs this project, they would be taking away the opportunity for the student to learn a great life skills. This being, students have a better chance of learning more from designing the project, then having their teacher designs it for them.
Having a teacher design the project would not be as beneficial for the student as it would be if the students designed it. This is a chance for the students to learn how to work on time management. Being able to work on time management for the project allows the student to work on planing for when they should be at a milestone of the project. This allows the students to be more self-efficient for working. This helps them learn how to work on the project better and be able to complete the project knowing that they designed it, and worked on it without having someone tell them what to do. This will help build self-confidence in the students and have them be able to complete a task more efficient when they do it.
Having students design their summer projects for school is a good idea. It has them showing their teacher what they have learned. Also have them learning life skills/lessons from this project. The students can also learn time management, and learn how to be more self-confident and more self-efficient. All of these lessons or skills help a student learn, and demonstrate to their teacher what good of a worker they are, when the student designs the project.",,494,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

0E49EB72AAA4,"There are many dangers that come along with studying planets. Along with the dangers, there are also countless benefits to learning more about different planets. In the passage, ""The Challenge of Exploring Venus"", the author addresses the point that Venus is worth taking a closer look at and focusing on, no matter the dangers it could put one in. Although many people believe that the author doesn't support this idea well, the author provides researched evidence and past experiences all throughout the passage to support this idea.
In, ""The Challenge of Exploring Venus"", the author includes well researched evidence to support the idea that Venus is worthy of studying further. When explaining NASA's ideas on sending humans to Venus, the author states, ""NASAs possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus would allow scientists to float above the fray."" This provides evidence that shows what a solution is to avoiding some of the difficulties that occur when trying to explore Venus. The author was able to support his idea throught the use of NASA and it's research. The passage continues to come up with a plan on the best way to float above Venus when the author says, ""At thirty-plus miles above the surface, temperatures would still be toasty at around 170 degrees Fahrenheit, but the air pressure would be close to that of sea level on Earth."" This factual evidence that is included ensures that the author is supporting this idea to the fullest of his potential. Researched and factual evidence that is provided all throughout the passage shows how the author supports this idea thoroughly and well.
The also supports his idea of studying Venus depsite the dangers because he includes past experiences that make this idea stronger. When explaining past explorations to Venus, the author states, ""Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth."" Facts that have been presented that occured in the past help the author support his idea that there is reasons why people should look into further studying Venus. These past facts present the idea that Venus once looked like Earth did, and if that is true, there are reasons why it should be looked into further. The passage later explains examples of NASA's approached to studying Venus when the author says, ""Another project is looking back to an old technology called mechanical computers. These devices were first envisioned in the 1800s and played an important role in the 1940s during World War II."" The idea of looking back on past resources to help the studying of Venus would help the process. This past project is a key tool that helps support that Venus should be studied even though it can be extremely dangerous. Using past experiences such as the ones included helps support and grow the authors idea.
Ultimatley, it is understandable why one would believe that it isn't smart to look into studying and experimenting with Venus; however, the examples of the researched facts and past experiences help to support the authors idea that despite the dangers, Venus is worthy of studying. There may be many dangers that come along with studying different planets, but based off the evidence the author provided, Venus has avoidable ways to make it safe to study.",,552,Exploring Venus,Text dependent,"In ""The Challenge of Exploring Venus,"" the author suggests studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents.

Cars are not great for our enviornment, without them we would be able to be more eco-friendly, be healthier, and keep eachother more safe. Cars are not the only way to get around!
Using cars may help up get around more often, but notice how many accidents people get into. Running into someone`s bumper, not being carefull, and some times even driving under the influence, are all very dangerous ways you can get injured in a car. Vehicles are a way to get around quickly, but imagine being stuck in traffic for hours and only moved a mile because someone was not paying attention and ran into a street light. We were born with feet to walk. Walking short distances to the store, or market, where ever you wish to go is better than being stuck in a pile of reckless drivers. You can get there in a safer mannor than you would if you were to take a car.
There are plenty of way to get around, other than cars suck as bikes, any kind of skateboards, rollerblades, unicycling, there is a whole list. Not only do these help the enviornment, but they give you a nice workout. Most do it for their health, some to help them acheive a goal. A simple walk to the store, can help with a plethora of thing that are very important to your body. While doing this healthy habit, you get plenty of fresh air, with can reduce stress, and help your body in ways that will give you a feeling a peace in mind.

As said in source 1, ""Passenger cars are responsible for 12% of green house gas emissions in Europe, and up to 50% in some car-intensive areas in the US."" 50%? That`s half! If these gasses continue to damage our enviornment, our world will be very unclean.
For generations, cars were known to impress. Even now, people still have cars shows, or gatherings to display their vehicles. The better your car was, the more attention you were receiving. On the other hand, many people have chosen to take the better way out of it and find other ways to get out of using them. Car pooling is another option.

8175DAF201D2,"Dear TEACHER_NAME
Community Service would probably not be such a good idea. Kids these days are more Lazy and very violent, very few of them are going to be the volunteer type. Why i say this is because if you take a good look around the school, you will see them everywhere bullying and not doing work and coming in late. Then there are those very rare ones who will do homework and not bully and actually do something good for everyone's lives. By doing this kids are just going to rebel against your community service act and just wont do it and there might be those that will do it, but that is because they want to and want to get somewhere in their lives. By doing this its just going to make things get worse where they will rebel. Make a very wise decision about this rule, for it has a good chance of either going bad or going very well.
This one is a little bit like bag the bag and it went good and bad. This rule has three outcomes now, going good and bad or bad or going good. Those that are selected to tutor will most likely do it. The litter part will go worse however since kids just don't want to do things most of the time. If some kids think of bag the bag there is a good chance they just wont do their part in community service and there will be some bad outcomes in that. But if they don't think of bag the bag you have a chance of them doing their part in community service.

We decide who leads us, who will help us get to a better place, who will decide what to do about the national debt, who will pass laws concerning immigrants and the minimum wage. We do. Not you, not the House of Represenatives, and most certainly not the Electoral College. Which is why there should be no Electoral College.
The Electoral College is a group of people whom elect the president(2). How many for each candiate there are is decided by us, the voters. But heres the thing- most voters think they're voting for the president. They dont even know what they're voting for! And even if some do, its easy to get confused and accidentally vote for the wrong candiate(10). While one vote may not skew the entire election, a couple thousand can.
Many who support the Electoral College will say that voting by popular vote is a bad idea becuase of the possibility of a tie(18). But in reality, it is just as easy to tie in the Electoral College. Its happened recently too, in 1888 and again in 2000(18).
This isn't the only thing thats broken about the Electoral College. The possibility that a president could win by popular vote, but lose the campaign due to the electoral vote is filthy. It is unfair to the people, and far from democratic. The Electoral College is an anachronism(15). It reminds me of the Roman Republic really, and we are not romans, and this is not a republic. Or, at least, its not supposed to be.
Something else that is unfair to the people. Due to the Electoral College canaditates only focus on large states, or swing states(13). Voters in small states, such as Wyoming, will never see the candiates and may see only one or two camaign ads. They can't get to know the candidates and make an informed decision. And even in the regional states, democrats should always be trying to convert republicans to their side and vice versa. But becuase of the large swing states, this rarely happens.
The possibilty of corruption among the Electoral College, is also a present danger. I'm sure you remember form history class how party bosses took advantage of naive immigrants. I can imagine republican electors being paid off or threatened so that they vote democrat. Can you really trust the electors?
According to a poll in 2000, 60% of people want to activate a popular vote system. Popular soverignty worked well for awhile when it came to the topic of slavery, why won't it work for us now? And why would anyone want such an outdated system like the Electoral College in place? Think upon my words Mr. Senator. The Electoral College needs to end.

A5EBFBC5AF50,"Imagine a woman is in labor, sweating profusely as her water breaks and contractions begin to happen. Her husband is off at work, and she is home alone. Who will drive her to the hospital in this emergency situation? Oh wait, she purchased a driverless Google Car last week. This car will drive her to the hospital, possibly saving a life. Driverless cars are an innovative new idea, and this idea needs to be taken to the streets and incorporated into the life of an everday human.
Driverless cars are an an ingenius invention. Driverless cars bring many great aspects to the table. These asepcts include half the fuel usage of today's taxis, more safety features, and the convience of not having to drive. In paragraph one, the article sates, ""The cars he foresees would use half the fuel of today's taxis and offer more flexibility than a bus."" This exerpt from the passage shows that these cars would be much less stressful than taking a bus, and would use half the fuel.
Many people believe there would be too many legal issues with driverless cars. If the car were to malfunction and crash, who would be at fault? In paragragh nine, the passage states, ""If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault--the driver or the manufacturer?"" These lines from the passage leave the open question of whose fault it would be in the case of an accident.
The legal issue is a large problem, but it has an easy answer. In paragraph 7, the passage states, "" The car can handle driving functions at speeds up to 25 mph, but special touch sensors make sure the driver keeps hold of the wheel."" This exerpt from the passage shows that while the car is driving itself, the driver should still be paying attention. The manufacturers should make it clear that there is a risk of an accident, but it will be the drivers fault in that case. The driver has a decision to make, they can sit back, or they can pay attention.
The positive factors heavily outweigh the negative factors of having driverless cars. While the legal problem is still in the air, it can be fixed easily. So think back to the pregnant lady.

ED321E901AC7,"The system of the Electoral College is a widely argued debate as to if it should be continued or if it should be gotten rid of. The electoral system shouldn't be used as a system of voting, who honestly wants to vote for someone who will vote for you, and if we are truly a state thats votes for its own president then why doesn't the popular vote count as the offical vote?
The Electoral College is a system that is rather unfit as a system of the people's voting. When you vote for your president, you're really just voting for who you think should vote for them. The article ""Does the Electoral College Work?"" states, ""...when you vote for your candidate you are actually voting for you candidate's electors."" The Constitution states that we are able to vote for our president, but then what do you call this? This is not an example of what America stands for, and this is certainly not the voting system that is described by our nation's properties. There is another issue with this violation of rights concerning our voting system, it's how the Electoral College votes and how dependable they are. The article ""The Indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong."" talks about how you can't control who the electorals you chose vote for. ""Can voters control whom their electors vote for? Not always."" This statement helps prove that the president you may want may not even get you vote. The Electoral College not only takes away your right to assuringly vote for the president of your choice, but it also takes away right personal voting right as an American. Don't let someone else detain your freedom of speech, let you personal voice be heard by the people.
While the Electoral College may seem like a sure fire way to assure that we get a president, that doesn't really mean the majority wants that president. Think about it, we don't always get the president we voted for. Popular vote doesn't really matter, it's like saying you voice doesn't matter to the government. They took away the right as an American they gave you in the first place. Popular vote should replace the Electoral College. There have been instances where the popular vote reined supreme, but the Electoral College didn't agree. In the article, ""The Indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong"" it mentions an election where Al Gore lost even though he won the popular vote. ""...according to a Gallup poll in 2000, taken shortly after Al Gore-thanks to the quirks of the electoral college-won the popular vote but lost the presidency..."" This helps show the people that it seems our vote isn't what is truly important, it's only what the Electoral College does that makes a true impact on choosing of president for the next two years. It's even stated in the very same article that, ""...over 60 percent of voters would prefer a direct election to the kind we have now."" If our vote truly matters then why not vote on keeping the Electoral College in play or getting rid of the flawed system once and for all.
The Electoral college is claimed to keep the voting system in line and prevent major mess, however this is not truly the case. There will still be flaws, but this is not the correct way to fix it. Listening strictly to the people's vote is what Amercia was built on and as an American I would like to see a change and let my voice be heard. If I want to vote I will vote, I don't want to vote on someone voting for me.
The Electoral College is unfair, unjust, and unamerican. The system takes away our right to vote for who we want not who we want to vote for us. If you are a true American you will understand why I know this is flawed. The Electoral College is not a proper way to handle our votes it must be a vote decided completely by the people of Amercia.

03C54838ED36,"Technology has come a long way in only the last few decades.
Scientists and engineers are trying countless new ideas. Over the past few years they have experimented with new notions involving the ""smart car"", enabling a car to be driven without the aid of a human being.
This idea, however is going too far.
Cars need humans.
Smart cars could lead to numerous safety and liability issuse.
Most of the ""driveless"" cars still need a driver.
They are ""semi-autonomous"".
When not having to drive, the driver would most likely become bored.
Even Dr. Werner Huber admits that, ""The psychological aspects of automation are really a challenge"" (8).
With this challenge in mind, some have introduced ideas such as putting up in-car entertainment systems.
However, having to switch back and forth between driving and the entertainment would be a hassle, especially if it were just a short trip.
Also, with someone who travels a lot and spends a majority of their time in the car, the systems could become tiresome in the long run, and they would most likely become bored again.
Without the human brain controlling tthe car, and only with the reliance on the engineering, the smart cars could malfunction and numerous accidents could occur.
Especially after a few years, the cars could become old and rusty and even the high precision put into making the cars perfect could run haywire.
States such as, ""California, Nevada, Florida, and the District of Columbia"" (9), who have outlawed computer-driven cars agree in terms of limiting the use of semi-autonomous cars.
Not being able to control the car, people's lives would be in danger and it could cause cases such as cars driving off the side of the roads or crashing into each other.
The possibility of all of these crashes also brings up a liability issue, ""If the technoogy fails and someone is injured, who is at fault- the driver or the manufacturer?(9)"".
Having the issue of the smart car would only create new problems, like having to create many new laws.
Cases like these could lead to sueing and hundreds of court cases which would not bring any positive aspect to the table.
Driveless cars should be banned for at least another few centuries.
Cars need the intelligence and control of the human mind.

45CAF3C40DE5,"In the passage the author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. The author supports this idea because it shows us the positive side as well as the negative side. For example a positive thing is Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size. It is also the closest in distance too. Despite all the dangers Venus has the author wants us to examine and study the benefits and the challenges Venus has for all of us.
Here in Earth we are used to the atmospheric pressure and the amount of carbon dioxide we encounter on earth. The quote ""On the planet's surface,temperatures average over 800 degrees fahreinheit,and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet.""
shows us how a negative thing is that those conditions are way more extreme than what us humans contribute to on earth. Meaning that we would not survive in Venus in those conditions. Another thing is that Venus has a way more hotter surface temperature of any planet in our solar system. This shows us how even though mercury is closet to the sun, even venus has a hotter temperature which to us that is dangerous. More over high pressure and heat, the venus weather presents additional inpediments such as erupting volcanoes,strong earthquakes,and most likely lightning strikes.
Scientists are discussing further visits to Venus. As well as astronomers think that there might have been a possibility that in venus it may well once have been the planet that has been more earth-like planet in our solar system. The quote ""Long ago,Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life,just like earth."" shows us how Venus one day could have became a planet just like earth and have life. Which is a positive thing because today venus still has some features that are similar to those on earth. Some of those characteristics that venus has similar to earth are valleys,mountains,and craters. In the future this could be a recall that venus can one day be a safe option for a planetary visit,space travel,and maybe one day it can have life.
The NASA has an idea for sending humans to study venus but could that really be a safe plan? There plan to the rare conditions on the surface of venus would allow scientists to float above. The quote ""At thirty-plus miles above the surface,temperatures would still be toasty at around 170 degrees fahreinheit,but the air pressure would be close to that of sea level on earth."" shows us how those would not be easy conditions for humans to travel and be survivable too. This is a risk that humans have but scientists are telling us to look at them as challenges and not risks. Which could be a negative thing.
In conclusion the author explains the negatives and positives that Venus has for us in the future and today. There can be risks but if they find a way for us to be safe, everything will be okay. Human curiosity will lead us into many new adventures in the future. Our travels on earth and beyond shouldn't be limited by the dangers and doubts, but lead us into the safest way possible.

BEE6B76959CE,"Summer break is every students dream; three whole months away from school. While students see this time period as a blessing teachers do not agree so much. Three months away from school equates to three whole months of time spent not learning about the core subjects. To combat this loss of learning, teachers provide students with summer projects to take home on work on while they are on their break. These are usually in the form of summer reading projects, but they can also be take home tests designed to keep students thinking about what they have learned in school. Summer projects always seem to have a flawed system of being very rigorous and demanding of students, despite them being on break from school. On top of this, summer projects lack in student cultural connection as teachers are not as kept up in student and teenage culture as they could be. Summer projects are always made by the teachers, however what if they were student-designed? Should these projects be designed by the student body or be given to the hands of the teachers? Summer projects should be designed by students because they will be more related to current student cultures, easier for students to comprehend, and require students to do less rigorous work.
To start off, summer projects should be designed by the students because they will relate more to current student culture. student culture changes rapidly, and what is relevant one day can be seen as old news the next day. For as invested as teachers can get in student culture, they most likely won't be able to keep up especially with the increase of technology which provides social media outlets to students. Because teachers can't keep up to well with student culture, they won't be able to provide creative assignments that include student culture which is also the fate of summer projects which are usually mundane and one-dimensional for students. A great example of a mundane summer project is the summer reading project. Students are told to choose one book, read the book, and answer they questions it asks. The books are almost always and old time classic and never relate to students as they have plots that go over the students heads. Having a student-designed summer project will help combat this problem of student culture as they know what books usually contain good content for students to enjoy. After all, they are also students. Keeping students connected with school and learning is an important part of a teachers job, and giving them bland summer reading projects is not a great way of doing so. Having students design a summer project for themselves will easily keep them connected with school.
Secondly, summer projects should be designed by students because they will be easier to comprehend. One problem with summer projects is that they can be confusing. They usually contain multiple steps with can contain multiple parts. It's easy to see why teachers do this which is to make sure students are being thorough with their work however it really is not necessary for students. Teachers have the curse of deep knowledge of a subject. Because of this, they often require every piece of information to fully understand a topic. Students don't have that much knowledge of a certain subject and instead understand from just a small frame work. For example, when adults spend money the question every small finance, from tax to coupons. Students, which are children, often go out and spend their money no questions asked. Yes, being aware of where the money goes is important, but that is important to adults who have much more responsibility then kids. The idea here is that having a simple summer project that is easy to understand is more beneficial to students, as they can understand with small frame work. Making confusing summer projects turns into tedious work, which is also another issue with summer projects.
Lastly, summer projects should be designed by students because they will be less rigorous work. Having a long summer project is not always beneficial to students as teachers may think. For example, while on summer break I got a summer reading project that asked for 20 quotes from the book that were interesting. When school came back around none of those 20 quotes were ever used in any lesson plan for the day. the quotes were just rigor work designed to keep students busy during the summer. Having a student-designed project will have students doing less work, while still keeping them interested in the project. Students can easily identify what is filler work and instead make work that will be used in some way by the teacher. Using the work that the students do over break and incorporating it into a lesson plan is a great way of teaching the students important concepts that they should always have memorized.
To sum up, having students design summer projects is a great idea because they'll be more related to student culture, be easier to understand by the students themselves, and require students to do less filler work. Of course, teachers and parents would say that having students design the project themelves is a bad idea as students will just make the project too easy, however the whole project development will be overseen by teachers and adults to make sure the projects are fair. That being said, schools should really give a chance to let students design their own summer projects. Teachers in general are not as connected to student body as the students themselves are. Giving students this chance to develop their own summer projects is a stellar idea and could put forth a lot of great projects with very creative outcomes.

AB7706113077,"How would you feel if your child stopped going to school and started from home?
Schools are offering distance learning for students to learn and attend classes from their house.
This may seem like a brilliant idea for students to have classes over a online or video call, yet going a public or private school is more likely to help your child grow in becoming a more intelligent person.
Also, you hear your child come home and they tell you something bad or how they dont like being at school, but your child tells you about something that they learned in school that they did know the other day. If your child went to school from their house, they could end up hate being at home so much and stop doing their work.
Most students would not benefit from being able to attend classes at home or over a screen.
Therefore, I strongly believe that students attending classes from home is not the best interest for their ability to learn.
To start off, students need an environment where they can go to for 5 days of of the week, know what they are doing, and know who to talk to when they have an important question.
Most of the time, students are always asking for help in some type of way, and if your child can not get in touch of the teacher who is helping her online, will you be able to help her or answer her questions?
A computer is the same thing as a phone, and most parents don't want their child on his/her phone all the time.
Giving your child the ability to do his/her class work over a computer would make them so excited for the first week, yet your child will be more interested with the fact of being able to be on a computer all day instead of sitting in a class room.
The student will stop wanting to learn or end up wanting to go back to school because they can't understand anything.
Furthermore, letting a student take their classes over a screen or call is not doing the best for them nor for yourself.
On the other hand, others believe that having their child stay home to do his/her class work can keep them out of trouble.
I do not disagree with the fact that it could keep them out of trouble, but students going to school is not the cause of them misbehaving.
The main cause of children getting into trouble is them trying to get attention form someone, he/she could feel left out, be getting bullied, or are not in the right state of mind and are being rebellious because they are not being seen for the person they want to be.
Making a child stay at home and do their school work over a video call is not going to stop them from getting into trouble.
School a place to learn, while home is a place to be loved and with family.
Being able to be thought something from face to face interactions are more precise than leaning the same way some from someone over a screen that might not even know that they are teaching. Therefore, wanting your child to have their classes over a computer because you think it can keep them out of trouble, is not look out for the best way for your child to grow into a smarter human being.
Offering students to attend his/her classes at home by a video conferencing is not their best way to benefit them in education.
As I stated before, students having the opportunity to stay at home and do their work online will most likely excite them at first, yet they will be more interested to the fact of being on a computer then their class work. Students are always getting their phones took in class and being able to stay home and be on their phone and a computer at the same time is like giving a four or five year old two cookies instead of one.
Also, is will cause students to misbehave more if they don't have rules about the work.
School has rules and if students dont follow the rules, they get punished for misbehaving.
Are you able to control your child if he/she decides that they don't want to do their work or misbehave in any type of way that they do at school?
Having the ability to give your child the opportunity to work from home is a wonderful gift, but it is not the most effective way of keeping your child on the right path of learning.

EBDA2869DB6D,"Imagine if you only had one person/option to ask for help. That would be kind of difficult to learn new stuff and opinions. Asking multiple people for help is better than one person because you can learn more from different people. Three reasons that state my point are, people can get more ideas, they can hear different opinions, and they can learn more.
Asking multiple people for help can get you more ideas. These following are explained examples of why you can get more ideas from just asking more than one person. You can learn what other people say. When people learn what other people think they get more ideas. Another example is they can get more details on what their asking for. When people only get one answer it has to be correct, but when they get more than one they have options to choose from. Also, if people ask more people for answers they will have a more detailed response. To be fair, its hard to ask multiple people because its hard to find people that always give the right answer, but thats why we ask different people. All of these are explained reasons of why its better to ask multiple people rather than one.
People have different opinions. These are examples of why asking multiple people for help is better than asking one person for help. Not everyone has the same opinions. every one has different reasons or examples so people could get more details. Another example is that there could be better opinions than others. If there are multiple answers there is more to choose from. Also there are more resources. Using resources people can choose which answer they think is most likely correct. These examples are why having more options for help can help someone make a better choice.
Someone can learn more from asking more people. Asking more than one person to help can help things be more understandable. It helps people understand that there is can be more than one answer. Another example is that you can learn more about the question your asking. There could be a question someone is asking about, and that person changes their opinion a lot.

2037D9236C4C,"There has been a large argument about the ""Face on Mars"". This ""Face on Mars"" is located in a region called Cydonia, where martian mesas are commmon. It has gain a lot of attention from conspiracy theorist that belive there is life on Mars, and they belive an alien life form has created the face. While scientist are positive, that this is a natural landform like you see on Earth. However, conspiracy theorists ignore what the scientists say.
If aliens had created a monument that looked like humans, how would they know what we look like in the first place? We have not seen or proven that there is life on Mars, and if they knew what we looked like, wouldn't we know what they look like? Many conpsiracy theriosts argue that NASA wants to keep aliens a secret, but NASA would love to find an ancient civilization on Mars. If they could find an ancient civilization that could be a break through in science and biology.
When they took another picture in April 1998, the picture was taken with clouds in the sky, making it impossible to see the small things. The theriosts argue that they couldn't see anything, so on April 8, 2001 they took another picture. It was a cloudless day in the Cydonia region. They took aother picture of the phenomeun in full resolution, and that picture proves that the face is just a mesa or butte. The landform was even common in the United States.
Many conspiracy theorists was wishing for this to be a momunment from an anicent civilization, but the facts are agaist it. In the high resolution picture you can see the crevices in the land that make up the lanform. With the ditches and holes in the land, it causes shadows that reemble the eyes, nose, and mouth of a human.

The technolgy could tell how we feel by the facial expression and your movements of the facial muscles. They are looking for a better way for human and computer to communicate. The computer could model the face of the 44 major muscle like a human muscles movement is called a action unit. i don't like the computer to see our emotion because its like someone watching or i feel like someone stalking like watching what i'm doing. They could use in the classroom to see someone who is bored or confused of the worked. The computer could when u smile but we know it doesn't lie about what u feel. If u fake smile it could tell that ur not really smiling. They were studying the picture painting of mona lisa to see if it show the feeling what she have.

346078C1BCA3,"Hello readers my name is PROPER_NAME and, today I'm gonna dicuss the new technology called the Facial Action Coding System created by Dr. Paul Eckman that enables computers to indentify human emotions. Also I'm gonna support this claim about the new human emotions technology,and I'm gonna use details from the story to back up this claim so you readers know ""this new"" technology is legit. So now let's get to it shall we you readers out there.
A Renaissance painting by artist Leonardo da Vinci called Mona Lisa was studied by a scientist named Prof. Thomas Huang, of the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science at the University of Illinois who innovated some new computer software that can recognize human emtions, working alongside with Prof. Nicu Sebe of the University of Amsterdam. Dr Huang and his colleague were developing a better way for humans and humans to communicate with each other.I agree with this claim, you wanna why? Because technlogy in general has come a long way, and the fact it's taken to the next step is phenomenal. Like it might be a chance that a computer software can determine how we feel and not just humans in genreal, but even old paintings so long ago isn't that incredible. But in part of the story i feel like tihs software could actually work out was that it said that the process begins when the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face; all 44 major muscles in the model must move like human muscles. Movement of one oe more muscles is an ""action unit."" which means that they need to scan the face of a human like features in order to scan the face. When works on thigns like this he normally relies on the work of psychologists, such as Dr. Paul Eckman, he is the creator of FACS (Facial Action Coding System). Edwin has classified six emotions- happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness- and then associated each with characteristic movements of the muscles. For instance when you raise your eyebrows you're surprised, but when you raise your eyebrows down by your mouth you're angry.
Another good reason why i think this technology is really good and it can help is.That when facial expressions for each emotion are universal, even though individuals often show varying degrees of expression. Use videp imagery, the new emotion-recogntion software tracks these facial movements- from a real face such as Mona Lisa. If u weigh the different units' the software can even identify mixed emotions. So cool that just shows you how advanced technology can be. Also each expression is cmpared against a neutral face.
My final defense to back this claim up is that computers got so advanced over the years it's kinda like it knows who to set up your mood of what you wanna see. For instance, if you smile when a Web ad appears on oyur screen, a smilar ad might follow. But if you frown , the next ad will be different. Hell a classroom computer could even detect when a student is becoming confused or bored. Well in that case it could vhelp modify lesson for the student to make them become more intertested in the assignment.
Well thank you readers i feel like i backed up my case with tih claim, we know computers or even technology in general might've changed in a jurrasic way but we will wonder what the future has in stored for us. We just gotta find out what's next in technology. My name is PROPER_NAME and this is my claim for FACS.

F3B70ABB2A6D,"The Problem With Phones In The Car
There is a worldwide problem with phones being used while driving. This is a major problem because this how many car accidents are started. Many are injured and are also even killed from this problem. There are many states which have implicated the Hands-Free law which is good, because now people know that it is bad to text/ use your phone. Thus bringing us to the case that phones are bad to use while driving.
Phones being used while driving is a distraction, period, point, blank. They're a distraction because you would have to look at a screen instead of the road, which would then have you unaware of you surroundings and possibly take a life for this distraction. Phones are a distraction because they are a temptation, a temptation to loom at the screen. This temptation can lead to a bad accident, which could then lead to death.
Something that has been helping people use their phone is having a bluetooth device connected and use that instead of picking the phone up. This is why the Hands-free law has been implicated. This is a great law that has began being implicated, the reason being that you can be stopped before an accident actually happens. It is also good because now people are more aware about their surroundings while driving.
Their have been many accidents a year that have lead to death and it is bad because these were countless lives taken for a very dumb mistake. This is a worldwide problem, like i said before, and it is becoming more and more dangerous for people to drive and walk around the crosswalk.

15AF4A9F9C73,"Limiting car usage can be helpful to people and the earth in a variety of ways. Although cars are helpful to a numerous amount of people and can help one get from point A to point B, there are reasons why it can be harmful and why reducing the use of cars can make a huge impact on the world. First it can lower air pollution, it causes less traffic congestion, and lastly it reduces greenhouse emissions. These are some important advantages on limiting car usage.
One way that reducing car usage can be beneficial is that it lowers air pollution. Some countries have already took advantage and began to limit their usage of vehicles. In Colombia, Bogota several cities have had a ""car free day"". According to source 3, businessman Carlos Arturo Plaza says that"" Its a good oppurtunity to take away stress and lower air pollution"". Municipal authorities from different countries came to Colombia experience this event and were extremely excited. Reducing car usage is proven to help the world out.
Getting to work can be a pain, simply because of long, time wasting traffic jams. This can cause people to be late to work, functions, emergencies, and even important interview. It may even cause them to miss it completely. Lowering the usage of automobiles can be pivotal mainly for this reason. In source 3, Robert Duffer states that ""congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of france after five days of intensifying smog"". This is a important advantage of limiting car usage.
Another way that decreasing the use of cars is that it cuts down the greenhouse gas emissions. According to the first source the author states that ""passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe, and up to 50 percent in some car intensive areas in the United Stated. This is an big reason on limiting car usage as it is shown that it can help the earth

CC5894978F31,"The Electoral College is a cruel, pointless process that simply makes a percentage of votes, or all of them if you look at it that way, to mean nothing, and allows for circumstances like the 2000 election. There are plenty of reasons, and plenty of contradictions in ""In Defense of the Electoral College: Five reasons to kep our despised mehod of choosing the President.""
To begin, the winner-take-all system is very unfair to the voters. Voters in certain, dominated areas are supposed to know what they are voting for, yet get nothing to teach them? Not that it matters regardless, since every person within a state supports a political party, right, and, depending on your state's veiw, all Republicans/Democrats have no idea what they are voting for, correct? Like Bradford Plumer says, you shouldn't have to move to Ohio to be able to get a vote. There is also the point countered Mr. Posner's article, which is that those in party-dominated states will have a feeling their vote doesn't count, and he sais that one vote will not swing an election. Then why do you beleive an upside of the elecoral college is that those in more neutral states will feel their vote counts? Or do those in party-dominated states not matter, since those in neutrals think way more about their votes, and are the only ones you should trust, according to him? In practice, they are the only deciding factor .
There are also the many unwanted results from electoral colleges, such as the 2000 election's outcome defying the people. ""What Is the Electoral College?"" states you are voting for electors when you vote, but what is the point if they can simply defy you? It would be like if after the president was chosen, the Senate could overule him with a 1/5 vote. There is also the point in Plumer's article about the time Hawaii sent two slates, which forced the desicion to Nixon, who had to validate only the opponet's votes in fear of otherwise receiving bad publicity. There is also the strange way of resolving a tie, which boils down to the same thing as the winner-take-all system, except if more people support it doesn't matter. It would be like if everybody in the room wasn't alowed to vote, other than one voted, but everybody in the room agreed anyway for some strange, miraculous reason. (Of course, the one guy in the next room doesn't agree, and completely takes out your vote, regardless of the fact that there were 30 people in this one.)
Now, there is the gregarious amount of contradictory statements that can be found within Mr. Posner's article. One has already been mentioned in the winner-take-all system paragraph. He also conveintly provides a dispute that had nothing to do with a close vote in the Electoral College, and everything to do with what is wrong with this winner-take-all system, being the 2000 election. In the same paragraph, me mentions how an Electoral tie is highly unlikely- as if a tie between the millions of US citizens is. His reason #5 can be easily solved by simply giving the presidency to the candidate who receives a plurality of votes, rather than a majority. Reasons number 3 and 4 both contradict reason 2 as well, stating that everybody gets a vote, only swing states should get a vote, and only bigger states should get a vote (even when there is a 51/49 split, where 51%=100%, mind you).
Thus, the Electoral College is completely unfair to voters, and should be abolished. Voters should not have to vote for other votes which could very well defy their's, why not just have the Electoral Cllege do all the voting then? It is both redundant and unfair.

The other then goes on to explain that the thick atmosphere of Venus is almost 97 percent of carbon dioxide. To make things more understandable he also adds the challenge of the highly corrosive sulfuric acid in the planets atmosphere. Not only this, but the temperatures average is over 800 degrees fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than on Earth. As you can see the conditions of Venus are very extreme based off of the information in the text. These conditions make it very hard to study Venus due to the fact that it's conditions are too extreme for us to get close enough too.
Now that the readers have been given a description of the conditions on Venus, and faced with the challenge of it's exploration it is time to ask why try to explore Earth's ""twin"" planet. According to the author, "" Astronomers are facinated by Venus becuase it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet inn our solar system."" After the author says this he then explains that a long time ago Venus was most likely covered largely with oceans, and could have supported various forms of life. Although today the planet still has some physical features similar to Earth such as valleys, mountains, rocks, and craters. Thus making Venus NASA's nearest option for a planetary visit. Although the conditions are to harsh for us to travel too.
The motive for exploring Venus is very encouraging. The only thing holdong astronomers is the condition, and complications with the deails of proximity. On the up side the author talks about how NASA has a idea for sending humans to study the planet. The author says, "" NASA's possiblesolution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus would allow scientists to float above the fray."" Basically the author is saying that NASA plans to send a blimp-like vechicle hovering 30 or so miles above the rolling Venusian landscape. The author further explains this by comparing this solution to what jet airplanes do to avoid storms,which is travel at a higher altitude. By doing this we can have a clear understanding to what astronomers are doing to solve the issue of proximity , and accesibility. With this solution the exploration of Venus, and it's many rewards can hopefully be reached.
In the article,""The challenge of Exploring Venus,"" the author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. The author did a very good job at explaining the situation, and presenting the readers with facts, and evidence. The author supported his claims with knolege about the planet, and motives of NASA. Not only this, but gave a solution to the issue.

As stated in the article, driverless cars have the ability to form a public-transport taxi system without the need of a taxi driver. Driverless cars have the possibility to be quite helpful and used by many.

Even though the idea of driverless cars can be very exciting, it is not a project that should be rushed. The article mentions that Google has had cars that can drive independently as far back as 2009. The development of technology offers a massive range of possibilities as far as driverless cars goes. Testing of new ideas and performance of driverless cars should indeed remain in question. How soon they should be considered usuable to to public is debateable. It is not wrong to assume that problems ahead will be solved when given time. But it is important to not forget such problems will exsist. Patience is crucial when working with such a revolutionizing project, and all time needed should be well given.

I can foresee these cars becoming a huge issue. One of those issues I can see happening is that these cars, yeah, they seem safe. Are they really safe though? It seems to me like these cars would get in accidents very easy and could severly hurt someone. Lets say you aren't paying attention to the road, imagine if someone swerves in front of you and its so fast your car doesn't pick up on it. You could end up in a sever accident and possible pass away from lack of paying attention.
Another issue I have with these cars being produced is that it would take away from tradition. Whats even the point of going through driver's ed when you can have an automatic car that does everything for you? It's a right of passage to get your first car and learn how to drive it.

780059E1EF1F,"Dear State Senator,
I personally believe that electing a President by popular vote is a great way to elect the next president. The reason why I state this because ,when voting in an electoral college the people are voting for a slate of electors instead of the President they want to be in office. But on the other hand,the popular vote declares the candidate that recieved the most popular votes is the next president. We the peolpe want to vote for the next person to run our country , not a slate of electors.
Sometimes the election doesn't go as planned. Back in the election of 2000 Candidate Al Gore had more popular votes than Bush ,but Bush had more electoral votes and became President. I bet the people of America weren't to happy about that outcome , this was the first time this happened since 1888. Let's look at the election of 2012 , it states that our current President Barack Obama had ""recieved 61.7 percent of the electoral vote compared to only 51.3 percent of the popular votes cast for him and Romney ."" It also states that residents of other regions that don't neccesary have electoral votes want a popular vote because "" residents of other regions are likely to feel disfranchised to feel that their votes dont't count that the new president will have no regard for their interest , that he really isn't their president ."" Now if the country went by a popular vote the peolpe would have a president that meets their needs and betters the economy for them instead of regions only getting what they want ,now everyone has their president.

Cars can cause alot of problems like for example, people get into many car crashes that kill many innocent children or bystanders, the traffic jams always take hours to clear up, and the exhaust in the tail pipe is polluting the air. There are many advantages to limiting car usage. The advantages are there will be more people on bikes and walking to place to place, less traffic, and less pollution in the air.
Although cars may come in handy they can be a real pain to have. Like for insatance paying car insurance every month, paying for gas, and paying for your car if anything breakes and needs a new part If the car usage was limited there will be more people on bikes and walking. This is good for the residents because they are spending less money and they are getting excersise from this. In Vauban, Germany the residents there have given up their cars. 70% of Vauban's families do not own cars (Rosenthal, 3). There only transportation there is a tram that runs though Freiburg (Rosenthal, 2). This helps residents there get to place to place eaiser.
Also with the car limitations there will be a whole lot less traffic on the roads. For example in Paris, France they made even numbered license plates residents leave their cars at home, then the next day odd numbered license plate residents (Duffer, 11). Even though they tried to ban the cars there were 40,000 drivers fined due to driving their cars (Duffer, 12). Also when this rule was put into place there was less traffic in the capital of France. The traffic went down by 60% (Duffer, 14).
Most importantly there will be less pollution in the air. Residents in cars dont really know how much pollution is put into the air when they drive. The exhaust from the tail pipe of a car is causing a huge defect in this earth's greenhouse effect. In france the pollution was so bad there was smog in the air from all the cars (Duffer, 14). The smog in France was as bad as the world's most polluted cities in the world, Beijing, China (Duffer, 14). Also in Bogota, Colombia there was really bad smog, but after the car limitation there was a huge decrease in the smog (Selsky, 21).
In conclusion, there are many advantages in car limitation. The advantages are there will be more people on bikes and walking to place to place, less traffic, and less pollution in the air. With less cars this will help our earth big time because the greenhouse effect will stop getting car exhaust pumped through there.

24C584D3D271,"There are many advantages to limiting car usage. By reducing the usage of cars we can lower the air pollution in our cities. If the number of cars on the road is lower than usual, then the number of traffic jams and car crashes will be decreased. Driving is a huge responsibility and worrying about protecting your life, the passengers in your cars life, and other drivers on the road's life can be very stressful at times. Lowering the usage of cars can limit that stress.
Polloution is bad and it destroys the Earth. When we drive, our tailpipes give off greenhouse emmissions that ravage the o-zone layer of our atmoshphere. After days of near-record pollution, Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city. The congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of France, after five-days of intensifying smog. By reducing our car usage, we can make our world a more clean and less polluted place.
Traffic jams are annoying and frustrating. Car crashes are dangers and life altering. You can avoide both of these terrible things by limiting how often you drive your car. Everytime you sit down in that drivers seat and turn the car on, there is a chance of getting stuck in traffic or into a wreck. There is no better way to avoid this than walking, taking a bus, or biking where ever you need to go. In a program that was set to spread to other countries, millions of columbians hiked, biked, skated, or took buses yesterday, leaving the streets of Bogota, Colombia free of traffic jams.
Driving can put a tremendous amount of stress on a person. ""It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution,"" said businessman Carlos Arturo Plaza. You don't have to live with all of that stress. Just limit yout car usage and you will live a happier life.

08BFFA9AD871,"Dear Principal,
I believe no cell phones is the way to go. I believe this because students who use cell phones in school will be off task and no do there work.
One reason why i think this is because the students need to get a education and n not worry about that text they just received.
Another reason i have that might convince you to listen to this is because if you follow up with this rule students in the school will stop worrying about phones and more about school.
Witch means better grades and behavior and also better testing scores.
Maybe even less drama because as you see there are many conflicts that come from texting and social net works because someone said something over a text message.
So by not allowing this you could possibly prevent fights, and other harmful situations from happening.
Students also have all before school and after school even weekends to text so it shouldn't be happening in school.
If you were to let the students have their cell phones out and let them text, they wouldn't pay attention in class, not no what there doing, and get bad grades on important test and even homework.
they also might not listen to the teacher when he or she is talking witch might aggravate them and become mad at the student.
To finalize this statement i have to share with you i would like to say if you consider this idea this could really change how the school runs and make things better then they were.
So thank you for reading this and hopefully you consider this idea for a better and brighter future.

CA72B4219DD8,"For many years, the automobile has become and remained a staple in the world as humanity's most popular choice of transportation. The number of cars manufactured by car companies has reached the hundreds of millions. Cars have been a trademark of American ingenuity and the evolution of technology. However, as we go into the great beyond that is the future, we must take into consideration the pains and risks of these vehicles, and if they are worth driving as the world population exceeds seven billion.
Few people can recall a time where global warming wasn't the main conflict of scientists today. The Earth gets warmer as pollution levels rise as smog around cities like Paris and Mexico City reaches an all time high. The polar caps are melting at a rapid rate as hurricanes ravage the mainland harder and harder each year. What caused this stuff to happen? Why, look no further than our friends, the factories and automobiles! These two have been quoted time and time again as the catalyst of the global warming crisis. With such an adverse effect on the ozone layer, governments around the world have to do something to stop it from rising any further, with nothing short of success. Places like France have realized the extreme rise in smog levels in the city of Paris, that they had to do something. So, they made a ban on driving for people with even numbered license plates with only a few exceptions, and banned odd numbered licensed cars the next to try to curtail this occurance. After a few days, it worked. The smog cleared just enough for the French government to rescind its ban on license plates for the city. Such a huge difference in smog in only two days means that making a ban similar to this could be nothing short of beneficial for communities around the globe. So why don't more communities take up the hard task of making this ban a regular happening? It's a slow process, but it is happening, in unlikely places. Including over in our Western European ally Germany.
Vauban, Germany is a small community town located near the border of France and Switzerland. This town is best known for it's extremely unorthodox method of removing greenhouse gases from the ozone layer. People have decided to give up their cars, just relying on other transportation like walking and taking a local tram. Street parking, driveways and home garages are just not allowed in the district, and this has caused a huge difference between non-car owners and car owners alike. Seventy percent of the population in Vauban does not own a motor vehicle, a large portion of them sold their cars to move out to this small, cozy little town. Busy sidewalks and the chatter of civilians outshines the faint murmurs of the few odd automobiles in the city. What started out as an odd social experiment has turned into a great community full of happy people. Although this type of community is generally unpopular, other countries around the world have come to like the idea Vauban came up with. The capital city of Colobia, Bogota, has a neat program they like to call the Day Without Cars. The title speaks for itself. Civilians would take one day out of the year to generally not use cars, to promote the likening of taking other modes of transportation to wherever you need to go. Countries in South America have noticed this day, and are looking to replicate it themselves, which ultimately signifies the success of the Day Without Cars.
Countries around the world have all tried to curtail greenhouse gas emissions, whether by making a community built around the non-use of cars, making a day celebrating the use of other modes of transportation, or just banning the driving of automobiles outright. As just of a cause it may be, Americans are still hesitant to enact such henious laws. However, if more communities are built around this clean idea, more and more people will flock to it. It just takes preserverence, a strong plan, and a whole lot of sidewalks.

0184ED9B19B9,"Imagine you are sitting on the bench as your team walks off of the field, their head's hanging low while the opposing team rushes to their star player hoisting the trophy up high. Picture yourself watching the head editor of the yearbook staff delete the layout and images that you spent hours perfecting, the votes for student council president being announced and seeing your name down at the very bottom with only a few votes. As much as administrators, coaches, teachers, and parents will tell kids over and over that extracurricular activities are an amazing experience, that is not always the case. Sometimes they are the root of not just physical pain, but emotional pain as well. An extracurricular activity is a personal choice that is extremely dependent on what goes on behind closed doors in a student's life. Requiring students to participate in at least one extracurricular activity would not be beneficial to every student because it could interfere with family commitments, possibly exclude and limit kids who are struggling in school or those with special needs and disabilities, and create an overly competitive and hostile environment.
Many families, especially those with financial troubles, rely on their children to take care of each other and the family as a whole. Requiring a student to participate in a very time-consuming activity on top of their pre-existing commitments to the welfare of their parents and siblings, in addition to homework can seriously damage their living conditions. In many cases the oldest child may have to pick up the younger siblings from school and watch them to ensure their well being. If you take away this student who is already taking on parental responsibilities, you could unintentionally cause a domino effect leading to the injury of a young child. When a family is struggling financially and one of their children is of working age, it is not uncommon for the teenager to begin working to try and gain more financial stability for their parents. Jobs and extracurricular activities are both very laborious and time consuming. This combination of responsibilities and time commitments would not work whatsoever, leading the student to have to make a choice that they don't have in attempting to decide between supporting their family's income and a sports team. Almost every child growing up had chores. I know I do, and a lot of them at that. From cooking dinner when parents are working late, to taking out the trash, to cleaning up after younger siblings spill something, there is an endless list of chores in a child's daily life. The homework that is already assigned can sometimes make a student spend an entire night only focusing on the piles of worksheets and reading that they have to do. In many cases, this cramming of homework can result in the incompletion of chores, much less having two hours of sports or yearbook after school as well. Adding even more time commitments onto the already packed schedule of a middle or high schooler is undoubtedly going to have severe consequences on family life.
By nature, extracurricular activities are competitive. Whether it's for a spot on the starting sports team, or one of the top editors in the yearbook, or the lead in the musical, or even the student council president, these are all competitions that extracurricular activities promote. These competitions may lead to a hostile environment inside the classroom or in the halls. Students can often go too far in competition, with both verbal and physical fights breaking out over some of the most trivial things. If we already have problems with hostility and people not understanding when they have taken something too far, how can we stop them from continuing this while essentially fanning the flame?
There is an extracurricular activity for everyone that can benefit them as well as leave them with good study habits, right? For students with learning disabilities and special needs, an extracurricular activity could become a nightmare in reality. Not only could physical disabilities impede a student's ability to play the sport that they want, but learning disabilities like dyslexia and ADHD can affect the student's ability to participate in some of the simpler stationary activities. If you look at the grade percentages in many schools, you can see that there is a large population of students that are seriously struggling in one or more classes, even with teacher's help after school. Studying for an upcoming test can be an hours long endeavor. Requiring a student to add a few more hours of extracurricular activities is ridiculous and can only have negative effects. Teachers are constantly preaching the importance of reviewing your materials every night and how you must complete all of your homework assignments in addition to unfinished classwork, but how can you do this if you barely even have time to sit down for dinner?
If we require students to participate in extracurricular activities, we are setting up multiple major issues like lack of time for family commitments, unintentionally putting students with special needs and learning disabilities at a disadvantage, and creating an overly competitive environment. While extracurricular activities can have benefits such as social skills and a healthier body, the risks associated with it outweigh the possibility of benefits for a smaller portion of the student body. We need to consider the effect on the smaller groups of people that are being put at a disadvantage before we make decisions with only a possibility of benefits. If we leave extracurricular activities as an optional choice, we eliminate the greater risk of social and mental health issues, exclusion of many different groups of people, physical fights, bullying, harassment, familial disarray, and many others.

2440CD90B084,"I agree with NASA that the face was not made my aliens, and that it is a natural monument. My reasons are because the shadows are what makes it a face. Another reason is because you can really ress it unless there are shadows and your rihg tover it. My last reason is that Mars Global Surveyor Cyldonia took pictures of the Face and proved that it is natural.
The shadows give is it's face because there is bumps on mars, so that when shadows go a certain direction, it casts shadows and makes it look like a human face on Mars. In the article it says "" A few days late NASA unveiled the image for all to see. The caption noted a ""huge rock formation...whihc resembles a human head.. formed by shadows giving the illision of eyes, nose, and mouth."" The author reasoned it would be a good way to engage the public and atrract attention to Mars."" This goes on to prove my next point.
Marc Global Surveyor Cyldonia has taken better picture of what they so call ""the Face"" on Mars.
It says
"" And so on April 5,1998, when Marz Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia for the first time, Michael Malin and his Mars Orbiter Camera(MOC) team snapped a picture tem time sharper than the original Viking photos. THousands of anxious web surfer were waiting when the image appeared on a JPL web site, revealing... a natural landform. There was no alien monument after all."" This goes to show that it was not formed by aliens and it was not created there on purpose.
My last reason is that you can really see it unless there is a shadow or you look at it at a exact angle. The article proved this by saying this "" Neerthe less, on April 8, 2001- a cloudless summer day in Cydonia- Mars Global Surveyor drew close enought for a second look. ""We had to roll the spacecraft 25 degees to center the Face in the feild view,"" said Garvin. ""Malin's team caputred an extraordinary photo using the camera's absolute maximum resoltion."" Each pixel in the 2001 image spans 1.56 meter, compared to 43 meter per pixel in the best 1976 Viking photo."" This is proving that with a better camera and a better view that it was naturally made and you have to look at it from certain angles to see the face.
Yes, I agree with NASA that ""the Face"" is nothing but a natural landform, and not something created by life on a different planet. My reasons being the shadows are the only thing that gives it it's face, Mars Global Surveyor took better pictures of the landform, and you can't really see it unless you look from a certain agngle or direction.

3741469BB646,"Is online school the best way for students to learn in this generation? Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing. By giving students this option they will continue their schooling through being home schooled. Many parents would most likely have their students take an online class especially if their student is a student who plays sports. I think students should refrain themselves from taking online classes because they could have a lack of focus, if they need help in a subject they can consult their friends or a teacher in person, and they would be better off working in a class setting.
In a general class the max of a high school class is about 30 students. If you're a student who likes to focus in a smaller class they can always make arrangements. Working in a classroom can help you stay in check and prevent you from losing focus. There are so many distractions that can come towards taking an online course. You could be persuaded into watching t. v or playing video games. With that being said, you would have to set a lot of ground rules for yourself to prevent you from falling into those temptations.
Many students tend to find subjects that they are taking very difficult, but that shouldn't discourage them in asking for help. That is the bright side of taking classes in school, because you will always have people to help you. Having that one on one communication with a teacher, in person, is the best way to help. You can never go wrong with communicating with a teacher or a friend. Being able to sit and listen to ways that can give you a better understanding on something you don't understand is a great way on getting better.
Working in a class setting would be better off than online. With a class setting, students can work on their assignments hands on. In that way, the students are familiar with the source and can help them to remember in case they would ever need it again. Also, you wouldn't have to worry about working on assignments by yourself, because you will always have others to help if needed. Although there are benefits of working one on one communication with an online teacher, being that you will always have that teacher there for yourself, a student will not get the same learning skills as they wold in a class setting.
Overall parents and students should communicate within themselves to see which area would be best for their students. When it comes to school and sports there should always be a balance and not one way out. Online school might be tempting to take, but there's nothing better than taking classes in a school. There are also many source if you are having trouble rather that would be with online databases or teacher/student help. There is always a better way to strengthen your education.

DE6CBD4032CF,"Dear State Senator,
The election should be changed to popular vote instead of using the Electoral College for the president of the United States. The Electoral College is unfair to voters and is an outdated system that needs to go.
In Source 2, the article states ""Consider that state legislatures are technically responsible for picking electors, and those electors could always defy the will of the people."" The people vote for the president they want then the state counts the votes and picks majority then the Electoral College has the final desicion and picks the presidet, which is unfair to the people because even if they win majority vote it is up to the electoral college to decide. The same article also states ""In the same vein, 'faithless' electors have occasionally refused to vote for their party's canidate and cast a deciding vote for however they please-"". It is almost ads if the people have no voice in elections.
The Electoral College is also unfair because of what is stated in Source 2. Again, the article says ""Consider that state legislatures are technically responsible for picking electors, and that those electors could always defy the will of the people."" The people have no opinion in elections it is all up to the Electoral College to decide the president of the United States regardless of what the people want as their leader of the United States of America.
Although the people have no voice in the elections but instead the Electoral College, sometimes it is better to keep the old method. In Source 3, the article states that it is is less likely to have a dispute over the popular vote. ""The reason is the winning canidate's share of the Electoral College invariably exceeds his share of the popular vote."" Saying that the Electoral College sometimes tries to go along with the popular vote to best fit what the people voted for.
Even though the Electoral College has been around fro a really long time, it is time to change and go with popular vote elections for the president of the United States instead. That way the people actually vote for the president themselves and they get what they want.

3A2DF1C23374,"Phones were created to alert people if a crisis were about to begin or to contact loved ones from far away for long periods. Over the years, phones have since upgraded into cell phones that can fit anywhere. They are very efficient and much lighter to carry around. Cell Phones nowadays help get minds off of certain things that disturb daily lives by entertaining the brain. Some people argue that cell phones help with safety issues but that's far from the truth because cell phones lead to serious accidents and communication problems on the road.
Without a doubt, drivers should not be able to use their cell phones on the road because it causes a lack of focus and leads to serious accidents. This is a major issue since drivers are usually on their phones all the time. For example, ""the major drawback of using cell phones during driving is that it distracts the attention of the driver"" (Scotti, 2007). This leads to putting the passenger at risk of injury. Along the same lines, this can be very dangerous if the driver has earbuds in his or her ear. For instance, ""cell phones reduce the driver's performance""(Gravelle, 2005). The driver can be impaired and no longer able to hear what's going on, which can lead to confusion on the roads and cause the driver to make the wrong turn.
Some may argue that texting while driving is dangerous and may lead to serious injuries but, that's the opposite. Texting has proven to be the quickest way of getting work finished without having to be in the office or the school building. It's a great help with accessing the shops online rather than using a map. For example, ""using FMs on cell phones can provide information about weather and traffic"" (Sturnguist, 2006). In the same way, this makes it easier to decide on what outfit to wear that day. Not only does it help with weather issues it can also help with navigating the quickest way from accidents. However, driving while having a cellphone in hand is still against the law, and can lead to suspension or worse jail time. People on the road believe that if they wear their seatbelt, it can protect them from accidents but this is only half correct. It provides the passenger with somewhat of a small chance of protection but a higher risk with or without it on. Studies have highlighted that ""drivers using cell phones react slowly and often make wrong decisions causing serious accidents involving other vehicles"" (Gravelle, 2005). This is the main reason why cell phones shouldn't be in your hands while driving. As an example, especially during bad weather or driving on slippery roads, drivers engage in conversation and pay less attention to these areas, increasing the risk of fatal accidents.
(Gravelle, 2005) Along the same lines, people need to stop having cellphones in hand. It's going to cause suffering later.
Drivers should not be able to use a cellphone while driving because it leads to serious accidents. These accidents could lead to paralyzation or death. The fact that people still do this is scary. It's highly dangerous and risky to be doing this at all. Hopefully, in the future, they will create some type of equipment to detect people with phones in hand, because if they don't more drivers and their passengers may face death and destruction.

Sports are my life to me and also to my friends and if you take them away we will have nothing to do. You shouldn't make a change to the rule whatsoever. I think it is fair that the rule is requiring at least a C average. It has been like that for all of the other students that went to this school before me. So it is only fair that you keep it the same for us too. You also might lose some students if you change the rule. You're going to get a lot of complaints from parents and students. So that will just be another thing to worry about. I'm sure that you already have enough on your hands
A lot of the students have a C average and a C is an average grade after all. Students will also be happier and will have a positive attitude at school. Besides you're supposed to have fun outside of school and a lot of people wont be able to have fun with this new rule. Also, you are supposed to get at least thirty minutes of exercise a day and some students won't get their exercise in if they cant play sports or attend activities because of their grade. I'm sure you don't want that. So please all that I am asking for is to not change the rule to a B average. If you don't change the rule it will be much appreciated by students and parents as well.

I don't think you should make community service mandatory.
There are a few reasons why i think it shouldn't be mandatory.
I'll give some examples with my thoughts.
And I'm sure there are others how agree with me.
I think community service is a good thing but it shouldn't be mandatory for couple of reasons. For instance, a lot of students don't a lot time after school to take part in community service.
For example, many students have after school activities such sports, tutoring, and homer work club. On top pf all that, there's home work and chores for students to do.
Another reason is some parents might not wont there child in community service. They might not wont their child to leave their house after a certain time. Or maybe their child has an early bed time. Some parents just might not agree with community service anyway.
These are just some the reasons why community service shouldn't be mandatory. There are more reasons why it shouldn't be mandatory to. That's why i that's why i think community service shouldn't be mandatory.

BC7CD211742E,"Life on another planet is something that is very hard to find scientific evidence for.
In the science world you always have to have many sources to prove something is real.
There were always claims that the Face resembling landform was made by alien people but where is the proof?
I am about to tell you how there is no reasonable explanation for the mesa on Mars being created by aliens.
First, I will tell you a little bit about me.
I am a scienctist and I worked for NASA when Viking 1 journeyed through space. Over the years, as more advanced photography have taken pictures of the mesa, it has led me to believe that the formation is not an alien artifact.
Also, the mount on Mars looks just like the ""Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho"".
Which makes me think it was just a coincidence that it looks like a face.
Next, the image from Mars Global surveyor in 1998 does not resemble a face to me at all.
The Viking 1 photo probably had bad shadows.
The face was ""formed by shadows giving illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth"".
Further, the landform resmebles mountains and hills on earth; and other planets have mountains and hills too.
Moving forward, people think NASA is hiding something, but in reality finding other forms of life would benefit many studies and researchers.
""Meanwhile, defenders of the NASA budget wish there was an ancient civilization on Mars.""
Finally, how come there is no other evidence of life on Mars?
Don't you think that aliens would have made other landforms?
In conclusion, life on other planets is very hard to prove.
We have many explanations for why the Face is a ""huge rock formation...which resmebles a human head."".

E6C2FD3578B3,"Driverless cares are coming. It's true, though it almost seems something out of science fiction. Today, we have cars that can drive themselves with the aid of humans. This means that there is still a driver, though they won't be doing much except sitting and watching the road. They must watch the road as they may need to take control of the car if there is an accident, construction, or if a road is closed off for another reason. This is a far cry from what we think driverless cars to be. Of course, the technology is there, it's just a very basic state of it. Most of what is there, the basics, is still very complex.
In my own opinion, yes, driverless cars are the way of the future. However, there is still use of a driver within the driverless car. So maybe not calling them driverless cars as a start, perhaps independent cars or auto cars. Having a driver still within the car can help, it may be that some places aren't mapped on the maps within the car. This may mean that the driver will have to take over, placing the safety of others into the hands of the driver. The thing with the driverless cars is that if there is an accident, whether it be man-made or machine error, whose fault is it? This is a big question, with many different answers. The truth is, there isn't laws in place for this, as there are no true driverless cars on the roads. We could pin the blame on the driver, for not taking control at the right moment to prevent a disaster. The same could be said for the manufacturer, for creating a faulty program within the car.
Today, the problem with cars is simple. They are dangerous. There isn't a bigger risk today than getting in a car and driving. Hundreds of people die or are injured in a car accident today and most of them are due to humans. A driverless car could reduce the amount of accidents and deaths on the roads. There still is need of people being at the wheel of the vehicle, but with less human interaction of the vehicles operation, the less likely it is to result in failure on the drivers part. There is also a possibility of it helping drunk drivers. If someone gets into the vehicle, they could tell the car their destination, and be on their way. This could result in less accidents and less deaths with vehicles involved. However, on the flip side of things, this may not help. If a third party company creates a faulty program for the vehicles for a big company, the blame will be pinned on the big company for outsourcing. This results in more strict laws on driverless cars and could result in there being less appeal to the idea of a driverless, or semi-driverless, car. We're still a few years from having driverless cars, and even more from having completely driverless cars.
My opinion is that self driving cars could help our society. We could gain so much from this, most of it being less accidents and deaths from something that is so important to many of our lives today. Taking the risk of getting in a car with someone who is new, elderly, or drunk is huge. Today, that risk is garunteed with consequences. Most of them are bad, with either injuries or death some big ones. Tomorrow, that risk could decrease with semi-driverless cars or completely driverless cars.

75614E82027E,"There have been a few close calls during our presidential ellection over the past decades, but it doesn't mean it's enough to scratch it out and throw it away. We should keep the Electoral College for many reasons, but mostly to keep chaos from happening.
To begin with, the Electoral College has been the method we have used for years for choosing our next President, so why would we change it now? Well, the answer is we shouldn't. It may seem like a good idea at first to change to the election by popular vote, but here's the problem. A dispute over the outcome of an Electoral College vote is possible, but less likely than a dispute over the popular vote. The Electoral College is what helps the candidates from winning from a landslide. The Electoral consists of 583 electors and a majority of 270 electoral votes is reqquired to elect the President. So even though some may say you're not choosing your President, you're actually helping to chose your President. When you vote you're actually voting for an elector that will (most likely) vote for the candidate to your appeal.
Furthermore, many people such as Jimmy Carter, Bob Dole, and even the Chamber of Commerce have agreed to abolish the Electoral College. According to a Gallup poll in 2000, over 60 percent of the voters would prefer a direct election to the kind we have now. Although, this all may seem like a time for change, isn't the Electoral College doing us a favor? ""The Electoral College consists of the selection of the electors, the meeting of the electors where they vote for President and Vice President, and the counting of the electoral votes by Congress."" The Electoral College is a process, as a compromise established by our founding fathers, between election of the President by a vote in cCongress and election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens.
Last, but not least, the Electoral College helps with voting for President. ""Each party selects a slate of electors trusted to vote for the party's nominee, and that trust is rarely betrayed."" It is possible for the winner to win the electoral vote, but will not win the national popular vote. ""The Electoral College requires a candidate to have transregional appeal. No region has enough electoral votes to elect a president."" ""So a solid regional favorite has no incentive to campaign heavily in those states, that he knows he will will."" Therefor, he will not gain any electoral votes by increasing his plurality in those states in favor of him. ""This is a desirable result because the candidate with only regional appeal is unlikely to be a successful president.
All in all, we should keep the Electoral College because it helps balance out the nation's amount of votes for a good successful President that will help it's people.

I believe that you should go with 'Policy 1' because I think that you should allow students to use their cell phones during lunch periods and other free times, but not in class. What if someone's parents couldn't get a hold of the school and it was a family emergency. Then they could text or call their child or children what has happened. Just as long as they didn't do it during a class period.
Using the first policy might let students have the freedom to get in touch with friends they don't see very often. It is also a good idea because then students will not get distracted in class. They will focus on their work instead of worrying about their phone or texting somebody in a different class. You would just have to monitor the students carefully during class so you were sure they were not using their phones.
I also think that you might want to go with 'Policy 2' because some students would still use their phone is class. They might use their phones to cheat during a test. f you used the second policy, then you probably wouldn't have to worry at all, unless people were still using their phones. Like I said before, you would still need to monitor students either way. Though, if people went into the bathroom to text, then I don't know what you should do then.

The driver can make the choice, whether they want to drive or for the vehicle to do the job.
These automobiles will have tons of sensors. Before the year 2000, it was hard to turn these ideas into reality.

8952A4E6AACF,"Quick question can you remeber your first time behind the wheel, blood rushing from all the excitement from this new experience. So nervous but so anxious, filled with fear that you can't help but to embrace. Boy what a rush, but what about those who haven't had that experience yet? I guess that's one thing we forgot to stop and think about hmm.. That's because when it's outside of ourselves it doesn't really faze us. Sure taxi rides are fine at times but it would get old and boring sooner or later with out a doubt. So driverless cars are not really what I think we need at this point.
Driverless cars seems like a fun futuristic type of thing so I understand why people would want them , not to mention that in certain situtation could be lovely to have. Why wouldn't you want a driverless car you may ask. Well First off the price of one of these machines cost up to two hundred million dollars and I know for a fact I can't afford this and neither can lots of others in this world .There is also things that just don't add up, we have been told nothing about warrinties or how any payment go, do you get the same insurance as you did with a regular vechicle, and if something breaks or goes wrong and your injuired or injure someone else who's to blame.
The text even ask it's self "" If the technology fails and someone is injuired' who is at fault-the driver or the manufacturer?"".
If that's not a clear cut reason of why these are nothing but a risk then I don't know what is. People can be put at fault for an accident that they had no control over at all because the car drives its self, therefore its like a game of Russina roulette you never know whats gonna happen or who will be blamed.
In conclusion to some of these terrible possiblitles I still take into consideration that everything right now is just he said she said no one really has proof that it will shut down and cause accidents or if it will even cost two hundred million by the time it comes out. But there are some things we do know and that is that in : California, Nevada, Florida, and District of Columbia it is illegal to have even semi-automatic cars and changing laws for something unproven is highly doubted.

CC50C8238771,"Imagine getting to design your own project for school during the summer! Students would have a lot of fun designing their own project! Students would get to enjoy their summer, while doing a school project in a fun way because they were allowed to design it themselves! Summer projects that are required from the school, should be student-designed because students would learn to be more responsible, students already have to do what the teachers assign them do during the school year, and students would have more fun with the school project if they got to design it themselves. Summer projects that are required from the school, should be student-designed.
Firstly, summer projects that are required from the school should be student-designed because student would learn to be more responsible. Students would have to come up with their project on their own, so that would make them more responsible because students are used to teachers planning the work and the format of projects. This would also give students the opportunity to show their teachers and parents what they are capable of doing on their own. If students got to design their own projects, then they would have to take it seriously because its up to them and their grade will reflect how well they did. Designing their own projects would help them become more responsible and that is good to learn at a younger age for the future.
Secondly, students already have to do what the teachers assign them to do during the school year, so I think that students should get to do what they want to do for their project during their break. Students summer break should be their time because thats their break away from school, so they should get to design their own project. It's good to give students more freedom because that makes students happier and it makes people feel good knowing that they get to design what they want to do instead of always having to do what the teachers want them to do. Students would have more confidence in themselves if they got to design their own project because students are used to having to reach a certain level to be approved or get a good grade. Students are used to doing what teachers want them to do during the school year, so students should at least get to do what they want to do during their break away from school.
Lastly, students would have more fun with school projects if they got to design it themselves. I personally like designing my own things because it shows who I am instead of having to do what what other people want me to do. The information would stay in the students brain longer if they designed something on their own to help them remember the topics. Students are very creative and smart, but sometimes students dont get to show that because they are expected to do things exactly how the teachers want them to do things to get a good grade. Students would have more fun with learning if they got to design their own things and it would help them remember the information.

E0BBCFF37E53,"As of recently, the discussion as to whether schools should offer distance learning has come to light. Distance learning provides students with access to classes in a home setting. These classes are to be taken virtually with online and video conferencing. Although it is almost certain that this idea was proposed with good intention, the red flags that come with it are far too many to ignore. Students would not benefit from attending class at home because they would not have a concrete form of direct guidance, there wouldn't be a rigid structure of routine in their learning experiences, and students would undergo a significant lack of human interaction in their everyday lives.
Firstly, if distance learning was to take place, students would not have a concrete form of direct guidance to assist them throughout their school curriculum. The main reason that school is made mandatory for all minors, is to ensure that all children receive the proper education that they deserve. Enrollment in a distance learning course would remove the aspect of having a teacher in front of a student. It is important for students to be able to make eye contact with a teacher when learning, as it improves attention span and listening skills. A computed teacher cannot compare to a physical teacher's ability to respond and answer specific questions simultaneously. It is impossible to achieve the same dynamic of instruction and comprehension when learning virtually. When comparing distance learning students and in-school learning students, the in-school students are definitely reaping the most benefits.
Secondly, if students were to attend classes at home, there wouldn't be the same rigid structure in their learning experience. When students go to school they fall into a routine: waking up at the same time, attending classes in the same order, and eating lunch with the same people. Having class at home doesn't consist of any routine or structure because there isn't anything or anyone there to be held accountable by. At school, there is the bell or the possibility of receiving a ""tardy"" in a class that keeps students accountable to sticking to routine. In a home setting, there is nothing that would motivate the student to continue to pursue their education. Furthermore, in cases where distance learning has been tested out before, results show that students tend to fall behind on assignments and assessments. The reasoning for this being that the lack of structure in their everyday learning becomes detrimental to the student's chances of success in the class. Distance learning students would not benefit from attending class from home because the lack of structure and routine in their day is enough damage done.
Lastly, students would undergo a significant decrease in amount of human interaction in their everyday lives. One could argue that human interaction isn't necessary to a student's learning process. They may even bring up homeschooling as a comparison. However, homeschooling is the perfect example of how important being around other people is to one's mental development as a whole. Statistics show that 45% of home-schooled children struggle in social capacities after leaving their childhood home. Putting students in online courses is essentially confirming their fate to social incapability. Knowing how to properly communicate with others is one of the most important lessons taught in schools. Without interaction from their peers, distance learning students will end up conflicted in instances like work scenarios in the very near future. This is a problem that can be avoided with the simple elimination of all suggestions leaning towards virtual learning.
In conclusion, the topic of distance learning is controversial. However, the cons outweigh the pros by a vast magnitude. The decisions that must be made my school officials and superintendents should not be taken lightly, as the future of these students are in their hands. Students would not benefit from attending class at home because they would not have a concrete form of direct guidance, there wouldn't be a rigid structure of routine in their learning experiences, and students would undergo a significant lack of human interaction in their everyday lives.",,675,Distance learning,Independent,Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing.

I believe that students shouldn't have to do community work if they don't want to. I'm not trying to say that it's a good thing that they don't help other people or community service isn't important.

And sooner or later they will find out that if you help others something good will come back to you.
It would be nice if everyone would help other people by doing community work. But it's just not fair for the ones who would like to do something else besides community work. Or for someone who has other things to do that involves helping other people. I just feel that people should do what they want to do and help other too.

207B0FEB5BEF,"Extracurricular activities help prepare students for the real world, which is one of the major reasons students attend school. It should be mandatory for students to participate in extracurricular activities, because it would teach students time management, which is a life-skill needed in the real world. It also helps students discover their interests, and would encouraged young scholar to socialize with peers, who share common interests.
Firstly, extracurricular activities cause students to manage their time better. Students may have to balance their time between their social lives, extracurricular activities, the time they spend with family, school work, etc. Time management is essential for a successful live. For example, an individual is very intelligent, however, he/she starts their homework at a late hour, and does not have time to study for their mid-terms. As a result, that individual is very tired in the morning, and does not do as well as he/she could of on the test. Extracurricular activities would force students to manage their time better, by adding an extra layer of responsibility.
In addition, extracurricular activities would encourage students to socialize with peers that share common interest. With a large amount of stress that is put on young scholars, it is important for them to talk with individuals who are in the same position. Extracurricular actives would allow students to obtain that opportunity. Nevertheless, students can also learn from others, such as, their peers, mentors, and teachers. For example, an individual may be interested in sports. He/she has the opportunity to communicate with peers that also enjoy sports.
Furthermore, extracurricular activities aid students in discovering interests. For example, a young scholar participates in the school newspaper, that student may be interested in a profession where writing is involved, or maybe a student joins the school debate team, that student may enjoy a career in law. It is important for students to have an option when it comes to hobbies or interests, in order to be more successful. Extracurricular activities would provide that option. Extracurricular activities make it easier for students to find what they enjoy the most. This is an extremely important factor of school. A student may believe they enjoy a certain class, but when they join the class, they realize it is not for them. Extracurricular activities provide many doorways, in which students can enter or exit whenever they want.
In conclusion, making extracurricular activities mandatory would force students to manage their time better, expose students to peers that share common interests, and help young scholars discover their interests.

And everyday sence then i been asking multiple for there opinions. I think that multiple opinions is good because, it makes us think about it, the people that we asked could tell the out come, it helps us do the right thing.

67E5376117EF,"Dear Principal,
Students should be allowed to use phones during lunch period and other free time. Not allowing students to bring phones to school at all would anger students and cause them to use their phones anyway at any time they think they can get away with it. It would also create an unnecessary disciplinary task for the staff. Banning phones altogether would also create a safety hazard in an emergency, as students would not be able to all communicate outside of school.
In debating on whether to ban phones altogether, we can think back to the times of prohibition. Banning phones would have a similar effect. Students would simply use their phones in secret to rebel against the rule. Students would be angered that they could not bring their phones to school, creating a distraction in class that would not exist if phones were allowed during free time.
Also thinking back to prohibition times, we can recall the pains that police forces had to go through to stem the tide of bootleggers. Simply banning phones would create an unnecessary task for the staff of the school. It would be a waste of the staff's time to enforce this rule.
Banning phones would also create a safety risk during an emergency. If there were a fire or lockdown, very few or no students would be able to communicate with their family or friends. School phones are simply not adequate for the amount of kids that need to call home during an emergency, especially during a fire.
So if your still planning on banning phones, don't! Though many may say that they will distract kids, it be worse with a ban. Allowing them during free times would eliminate effects such as angry kids using them in secret and the waste of teachers time it would be. All inall, it is better not to risk it, especially in an en=merge",,313,Cell phones at school,Independent,"Your principal is reconsidering the school's cell phone policy.

13CFDB110C7C,"Although some people may find learning online as a bad thing because it is not as effective as being in school. It actually can be really beneficial to the students, for example: kids who prefer one on one with the teacher, kids can focus better without having too many distractions, and students can go at their own pace when learning the material. In this paper, we will be discussing how offering the chance to learn at home can be good for the students.
One reason why kids would benefit from learning at home is they will be able to focus more. Lots of kids in school seem to get easily distracted by friends, their phone, and by their surroundings in school whether it be inside or outside. But, with learning online you can be in the comfort of your own home with as little distractions as possible. When you attend your class at home you'll be more focused and get more work done. Which will only help you more in the end. When it comes to being in school, the students tend to get easily distracted than they normally would be at home. Students getting the chance to do work at home will only benefit them more for the future. If they're able to focus more now at home doing work, that amount of focus will stick with them especially when they have a job or when they're off to college.
The second reason onto why learning online is good is you'll be able to go at your own pace. In school, sometimes teachers can go really fast and you won't understand a single thing about the material. Even when telling a teacher to slow down, it doesn't always help. They might speed right back up. But when it comes to learning at home, you're able to go as slow as you want or as fast as you want. When you learn at your own pace, it can help you understand your material more in depth than you normally would in school. Going at your own pace can make things seem easier to learn or do. It also puts less pressure on you trying to learn the material on the spot at that given moment. Learning how to work at your own pace is good because it'll show you not to rush your work and to take time with doing it.
Some people might have a different opinion when it comes to online learning. Some may say kids will take advantage of this opportunity and not do anything or they will say it's just not as effective as physically being in school with others. Online learning may not work for everybody though. Like, some kids need a teacher to be there when they have questions because it's easier for them to have someone there at all times and not just through a screen. With the kids who need teachers to be there for them, it might be hard to adjust to these new accommodations. While other students may not always have access to the internet or power. Which would mean said student would not be able to attend their online classes and get any work done.
In conclusion, online learning can be a lot more beneficial than people anticipated. It can be a more effective tool for kids to learn where they are most comfy without all the distractions around them. Although, certain aspects to learning online can be fixed, it has deemed itself quite beneficial. So, if kids were given this opportunity to learn from home, it would only benefit students greatly by being easy to learn one on one with a teacher, being able to focus more at home with no distractions, and being able to learn and work at your own pace without feeling rushed.

The modern convenience that kids today claim that they couldn't live without. Would you prefer this to be allowed in your school?
My response would have to be no. Cell phone's are a distraction to everyone. They cause you not to focus on the task at hand. Yes, it's convenient to have one whenever you need someone to pick you up, or you have an important question, but other than that it's pointless. Who cares what App's it has?

71C866E275D9,"We live in a modern era where screens and technology are everywhere, but school can be an escape from all of those for many students. Students would not benefit from attending classes through online video conferencing. This is because looking at a computer screen would negatively affect their eyesight and health, teachers would not be able to physically help the students if they are miles away from one another, and also because this would absurdly decrease interaction between students, therefore harming their social and conversational skills.
Every year, new studies are conducted on how television and phone screens harm not only our eyes but also our mental and physical health. Most teenagers and young adults spend multiple hours a day watching television, playing video games, or scrolling through their phones when they are bored and it negatively affects them greatly. Playing video games and watching television for too long has been linked to the killing of brain cells and also to decreased physical health because instead of getting exercise or playing outside, some would rather play on their computer or binge watch an entire television series in one sitting. My parents encourage my sister and I to go outside or play a board game instead of wasting our time re watching multiple episodes of
The Office on Netflix, but we just nonchalantly shrug off their advice and make up an excuse as to why we cannot, or do not, want to do so. From my own personal experience, after a few hours of focusing on a movie or a video game my eyes begin to hurt because of the immense strain that I have put on them and they continue to sting for multiple hours afterwards, sometimes making it difficult to fall asleep, let alone stay asleep.
Secondly, students that would attend school through video conferencing would not be able to access the personal touch and inter activeness of being within reach of a certified educator. I have struggled in many subjects before, but whenever I did not understand a subject or a certain lesson, I was always able to ask my teacher for assistance and explanations which helped greatly increase my understanding afterwards. I have stayed after school and received help during lunches on multiple occasions and after every tutoring session, I felt content in knowing that I reached out and got the help that I needed. However, this would not be an option for the students that decide to stay at home and attend online schooling. While explanations can be given through computer screens, only so much can be completely understood. For example, if there was a science lab held at school while a student was attending through the internet, that student would not possibly be able to experience and perform the lab that many others would because of their physical absence from the classroom. This is why physical attendance has always been a requirement and I do not believe that should change any time soon.
Lastly, if students were to attend school and receive their education through video conferences, then they would miss out on being socially active with other students and also on being a part of tradition. For almost a century, going to school and making friends and memories is an amazing journey that a great majority of our parents and grandparents experienced and want us to experience as well. People thrive on interaction with other people. Whether it be a long, heartfelt conversation or a brief one with few words spoken. When I am sick or under the weather and stay at home, I dreadfully regret it because I miss my friends and sometimes I become so bored of not being at school that I actually miss learning, too. You also cannot physically attend events during school if you are not present to do so, making it very difficult to enjoy other student's company and make memories because all you will every remember is sitting in an office, staring at a screen with no one to talk to, laugh with, and enjoy your teenage years with, and I do not believe that anyone should have to experience that, even if it is what they think they want.
However, it is understandable to want to be able to attend school through video conferencing. Video conferencing would allow students to stay in the comfort of their homes and to also wear practically whatever they would like to, like pajamas or baggy sweatpants. Attending through a video conference could also be very beneficial for those that are sick or unable to make it to school regularly. While these may seem appealing enough to want to have this option for your school, these benefits do not outweigh the negative costs of having little to no social interaction, having no personal, in person help from teachers, and also how it affects your health, both mental and physical.
In conclusion, implementing and allowing students to not physically attend school would not be beneficial for the students and therefore should not be considered. Allowing students to choose to learn from home should not be an option because it would negatively affect their social skills, their overall well being, and also put their grades and future at risk. Students need to enjoy school and think of it as a fun learning environment where they make memories with people they care about and love. Schools should not offer the option of attending through devices such as computer or phones because of these many reasons and more.

I think community service is a wonderful thing for the people and for the community.

It will cause a less amount of labor for older citizens in the Frisco community. Also it will get several of amounts of work and jobs done.
For the punks that slack off in class and don't do what their supposed to do or told to do it will also give them something to do instead of slack off by the TV all day and play video game.

On April 8, 2001 a cloudless summer day in Cydonia MGS drew close enough for a second look. Malin's team captured an extraordinary photo using the camera's absolute maxium resolution. ""As a rule of thumb, you can discern things in a digital image 3 times bigger than the pixel size, so if there were objects in this picture like airplanes on the ground or Egyptain-style pyramids or even smaller shacks, you could see what they were!"" What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa-landforms common around the American West.

"" Moreover, since its a summer assignment, many times, a student's work ethic and motivation just might not be as clear and strong as it was during the school year. However, all of this can be remedied if the project wasn't as focused on a teacher-designed assignment; instead, more as a student-oriented one. If the student were left to their own ambitions, he or she will not only be more passionate about their topic, but will have a stronger motivation and can learn more because of their experiences.
If the student is passionate about their work and research, their product will most likely turn out better than if the teacher assigned them a specific topic. This stems from their work ethic and motivation. Keep in mind that this assignment must be completed over the summer, where students typically would rather have a break from school work than to complete it. If the assignment was about something the student likes, he or she would most likely be more passionate and do their work.
However most of the time when a student does not like the topic they were assigned, the students would rather work on it to get it finished than to take the time and actually learn from their project. While one can argue that it would be easier for the teacher to give every student the same project topic since every project would be consistent and easier to grade, others say that the teacher can simply make a standard rubric where any topic could possibly fit the criteria.
Moreover on work ethic, if the student were able to choose their own topic, their work ethic and motivation would be stronger and more defined than if they were forced a subject. Like stated in the paragraph above, if a student got to work on an assignment they were passionate about, then their work ethic would be better than if they were not passionate about their assignment. If the student was not passionate then their only motivation would be to finish the assignment, not to explore their interests. The motive relies on how passionate the student is about their topic; and if he or she is interested in what they are writing about, then it is most likely they will create a better product in general and also have a fun time learning about it. This same concept applies to more than just school and can apply to many other subjects such as, for example, a job. While many people would rather work in a job that made them happy, a lot of them work in places that employees might not necessarily enjoy. As a result, their passion and motivation for their work goes down, which eventually leads to a lower work ethic which then results in a bad product. They would rather just work on it to get it done instead of actually enjoying their work and being passionate about the subject. In the end, it is better if the student were assigned a project where they were free to investigate their own topic and create a project based on that.
Furthermore on the topic of learning, if the project was student-designed, the student will essentially learn more because of their experiences in researching. The saying ""
mistakes are the best teacher
"" rings true in this scenario, where the students are essentially learning from their experiences. Instead of giving the students a list of what to do or what type of research question to answer, if the assignment leaves that to the students, then they are essentially forced to learn researching skills and techniques. The student will be left to do their own research and deem which sources are reliable, which is teaching them more than if the teacher assigned them a specific database to use or where to find the information. These experiences will only help the student with important life skills such as investigating and researching. They can also help prepare them for the future such as college or even straight into the workplace. One can argue that having the teacher force them an assignment is teaching the students work with something they don't enjoy. While that may be true, the purpose of the assignment is to inspire the students to learn and if the students don't enjoy the topic they were assigned, it defeats the entire purpose of the assignment since it discourages them from learning more over the summer.
When it comes to a summer assignment and having students complete a project, leaving them to their own ambitions is the best idea since it helps everyone all around. Not to say that having the teacher design the project is the worst option, but considering that their purpose is to help students learn, leaving them to their own design would be more beneficial. Depending on which subject, may it be English or science, it encourages students to dive deeper into specific subject areas such as writing a book report for an English assignment or researching forensic science for a science project. All around, having students design their own project is the best way since it helps both the student and the teacher, where the student can have fun learning about the subject and the teacher not having to waste their own resources on a project. In conclusion, a student-designed project is more beneficial since it not only leaves the student to create a more passionate product, but also gives the student more motivation and encourages the student to learn more about their project.",,966,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

C3422BCCE00F,"Texting and Driving
The risk of texting and driving is a big risk, you take 20-35 seconds to look, type, and deliver a message while operating a vehicle going at a fast pace which could potentially hit anyone or anything under those few seconds leaving the driver and them hurt or possibly even dead. It is said that in the United States around 1 out of 10 people are killed by distracted drivers everyday because they choose to put their attention towards texting instead of focusing on the wheel. In today's society mostly everything is run off by technology and its how nowadays we communicate with one another, but there are moments when it is necessary to put down your devices and it's when you are driving a vehicle.
There are many methods on preventing texting and driving and one is simply just putting your device down and not use it when behind the wheel. Another way to prevent texting and driving is using a cell phone stand which prevents you from looking down at your phone but instead having the phone next to your view of the road. If anybody else is in the car let they should wield the device while the driver is operating the vehicle and let them know if any important notifications appear. These methods just take very little time so they can prevent a risk of taking the driver's life or anybody who is at risk of being a victim of a distracted driver.
It is believed to say people are more likely to die in a car crash by a distracted driver rather than a driver who is drunk or under the influence of marijuana. Even if that is to be said, there are still people that are confident enough to multi-task and risk the chances yet they don't know their reaction time is slow as an elderly due to them paying attention to several things at once which causes a commotion in the brain.
Phone companies such as AT&T have tried preventing these kind of things by starting a campaign and having traffic signs say things to prevent drivers from being on their phones while driving. These acts help prevent accidents and possibly reduce accidents in the future.

159CB166349B,"There is usually no way of getting out of or way of getting around having to go to school. Everyone needs education in some way, shape or form. I believe offering a distance learning as an option would help in many ways because of transportation issues, comfort, and lack of distraction.
Some say that coming to the school house would be better than being able to work from home but I can show you otherwise with three reasons, starting with transportation. Not everyone has a way of getting to school. Some are too far from the school house to walk, can't catch the bus, or no one is there to take them. Even the ones who do have a bus to ride, they may miss it and feel as if they're already late they might as well not show up and with that they're missing a days worth of education. Having online courses at home would be beneficial because all you'd have to do is wake up and sign on. With that it'd make things easier on the student and the people around them.
Reason number two would be comfort. Many people during their teenage years have a high level of anxiety, having to walk around a school with many people or having to present in front of a class could make those anxieties worse. When working from home students wouldn't have to worry about that, they could lay in their beds or sit at their kitchen table and work on that classwork. Also they wouldn't have to deal with the anxieties of presenting in front of 20 plus students they could simply make a video and turn it in for a presentation. Working in the comfort of their homes could make their grades improve as well because they aren't working under so much stress or pressure. Also if they are more of a visual learner there is videos online that could help them as well.
Finally, the lack of distraction while working at home. Some people have a hard time focusing surrounded by so many different things going on, me being one of them, so it prevents them from getting their work done. Working at home would eliminate many of those distractions for most people such as loud talking and screaming, people walking back and forth, horseplay and much more. Being home the only thing that could distract a student is the student itself, the quality of the work will reflect that too. If they're doing what they're supposed to be doing with minimal distraction they should be okay.
As stated before online courses would be beneficial to the students mentality and make it comfortable at that. I can see the reasons others may believe that learning inside the school would be better but online is the way to go. It'll show a true reflection of that student as the type of person they are and their capabilities.

C1AD06518697,"The National Safety Council reports that cell phone use while driving leads one point six million crashes each year. Nearly 390,000 injuries occur each year from texting and driving. Texting while driving is something that people have done in the past, they are doing it today, and are still going to do it in the future. No matter how people are injured or have lost their lives to this people are still going to do it. Some of the main reasons that you should not text while driving is because; you can cause serious accidents that way, you are more likely to be blamed for causing the accident and it is illegal to be on the phone in some states.
According to a new study talking on the phone is hugely dangerous even if you are on hands free. There are thousands of people who get into accidents everyday because they were not paying attention to the road. They were to busy looking down at their phones to notice what was going on around them. If you are paying attention to what you are doing you can only injure yourself but you can also injure another person as well.
Most likely if you are texting while driving and end up getting into an accident then you are most likely to get blamed than the other person. There is a high chance of it being your fault because you were not paying attention to the road. Yow will also probably get charged by your insurance company and have to pay more if the other person decides to file a lawsuit against you. Being distracted for even one minute can change a whole lot and make a big difference.
Even though it may not be illegal in Georgia right now, one day it could become illegal for people to drive and talk on the phone. In the state of Missouri people under the age of 21 can not talk and drive at the same time. It is against the law because they are not of age to be trusted to talk and text while driving. They are at a high risk more than anyone else to get into an accident because they are underage teenagers who do not know how to stay off their phone.
Most car accidents are caused by people who think that they can drive and pay attention to the road while also doing something else. The main people who think that they can do that are the main ones that get into the most accidents and get the most tickets. Texting while driving is dangerous for you and for the people around you. That is why sometimes people say you have to drive for the people around you. You never know what someone is doing in there car and whether they are paying attention or not. They also have to do the same for you if you are not paying attention to the road and what you are doing.

C19BF84E54AF,"Dear Senator,
The electoral college is a big, serious, huge problem. It's super complicated, I mean, we vote for someone, and someone else gets to vote for the person we originally voted. What sense does that make? What's so wrong with a direct campaign? There are 538 electors. There's space for an even vote. Then we'd have to thrown the decision over to the house of representatives. Then what? Those old fashioned group of people get to decide our future? Please. They're living in the 70's! I don't find it fair to the people.
This election is suppose to be ""voted by the people, for the people"" not ""voted by the people, for the electoral college to decide, and then for there to have a possibility of a tie so they have to let the house of representatives decide"" it's ridiculous! Doesn't the sound of ""an election for the people, and only the people to decide"" sound so much better? If the electoral college wants to vote so bad, then they can go to their local polls themselves and vote like everyone else. Since we have a winner-take-all system in each state candidates don't spend time in states they know they have no chance of winning, they solely focus on swing states.
In 2000, 17 states never saw the candidates, voters in 25 of the largest media markets didn't see not one campaign ad. State legislatures are technically responsible for picking electors, and these electors can always defy the will of the people. This country is built on a democratic ground. This country is meant to be of the free, for the free. The electoral college is an anachronism, because when you vote for a presidential candidate you're actually voting for a slate of electors. I personally don't want to vote for a slate of electors, especially when I vote for the candidate of my choice.
Not to long ago, in 2000, Al Gore had the popular vote, but why didn't he get the presidential placement? Because the electoral college perferred Bush. Now look at the country. It's completely biased, unfair, irrational, and down-right wrong. We're wasting so much time trying to figure out who even gets to be president, voting day is the Tuesday after the first Monday in November (don't even get me started on that one) and we don't even get to figure out who the new president is until January.

If it was an alien the head would have anteanas on it and the head would be shaped differently than it is. Even though it was eighteen long years after the Viking Mission ended that we took a photo of the head doesn't mean that is is and alien.
On April 5,1998, when Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) flew over Cydionia for the first time,Michael Malin and his Mars Orbiter Camera(MOC) team took a picture. This picture was ten time sharper than the original Viking photos. When the image first appeared on a JPL web site, revealing... a natural landforn and not and alien.
Well not everyone was happy about it not being an alien. It's not easy to find the Cydonia. We just don't pass over the ""Face"" very often. But on April 8,2001 a cloudless summer day in Cydonia MGS went for another look. This time we rolled the space craft 25 degrees to center the face in the field.

8FE284BA4D25,"We have created a face on the surface of our planet. Doesn't that sound stupid, I mean if there is intellagent life out there why would they waste there time puting a face on a planet. That face is nothing but a mountain or rock formation that looks like a face.
First off the area the probe was flying over and taking pictures of was know to have mesas. Like the article had said at in paragraph two "" Scientists figured it was just another Martian mesa, common enough around Cydonia."" Which is where the probe was flying over. Most scientist believe it is just a landform with the face looking structure.
Next when NASA got another probe into space to take better pictures, just to show the people like you who think it was made by aliens that it is in fact just a rock formation. They took another picture and people still didn't believe them so depsite how hard it is to position it to take another picture they did it anyway and it looked nothing like a face, But more like a mountain.
Lastly most of the stuff made up about the face on mars. when they released the photo like it said in the article ""it stared in a hollywood film, appeared in books, magazines, radio talk shows--even haunted grocery store checkout lines for 25 years!"" It's just made up by people to either sell more stuff in there gift shop or store and or make movies and books. Because who would want to watch a movie about the extroudanary mountain on mars. They would have to make false info about it and say it was made by aliens so it would sell more.
You may say that that probe is floating very far away from space how do you know there is not any evidence of life down there? Well yes It is very far away but the picture was taken in maxium resilution. Each pixel spans 1.56 meters so each pixel in that photo spaned 1.56 meters on the planet so you would be able to see anything that would have show alien life down there.
So yes it was nothing but a mountain that looked like a face.

Community Service!
I would like for you to take into consideration of making all of the Students in seventh and eight grade to do at least 20 hours of community service to be able to graduate. The reason I am bringing up this topic to you is because it shows the community that the students of SCHOOL_NAME
are helping to keep our community clean and to help other people understand that everybody does something for the planet. I see so many people litter in and outside of school and I don't think they realize how important it is to keep our planet clean. So we don't have pollution and other problems.
I think that we should start to recycle and by doing all of this more people might come to our school to enroll there children. The publicity could be good for our school and then later on for the students. The children can be learning good life lessons and it can help them to keep up the good work all the way threw there lives. It creates a good building block for the students and it will help our school and planet be clean. The more people seeing us clean up our parks and schools, libraries and neighborhoods the more people will also help to keep our planet clean.
I picked twenty hours because It is not to much time, but yet students still have a chance of doing what they want on the weekends. We have homework and school five days a week and homework that takes two hours and over and doing to much community service will give the students no life for fun. If I had picked 45 hours the students would have to fun and that's what childhoods all about. So twenty hours is not too much time and you can still have most of your weekends free but you are also helping to keep your community clean and to show that you are a good student at SCHOOL_NAME and that you care about your planet.

I think that if you kids use there phones in school the will more then likely cheat on a quiz or a test. I have herd of kids from different schools who have been able to bring there phones to class. Of course they over used it and cheated on homework and the where getting on the internet and looking up bad things and more kids were becoming bad. The teachers were just done dealing with all the kids who were cheating on test and texting in class. I also think that if we could bring our phones to class that it would be good for some kids because then we could text our parents and tell them we need lunch money, homework, backpacks, and anything we left at home. Today i know kids in our school that text and call people during school hours, i' m not going to say any names but kids do it all the time and personally, knowing all the kids i know, they will completely over abuse this if we allow it at SCHOOL_NAME.
I am still going to go with Policy 1 because I use my cell phone in the hall or at my locker sometimes. My cell phone is always in my pocket turned off i call my mom or dad to ask if they can bring me up my lunch money or homework. If you let kids bring there phones to school, and they promise to use them in a needing time. I have fear that some one will break in to the school and/or the school will catch on fire so I always keep my phone in my pocket and i have the police on my quick dial on my phone. I would hate for someone to break in and no one is able to call 911 so i think they should allow kids to bring there phones to school.
But what makes me really mad is when teachers say ""Ok kids put your phones away and spit out your gum and no drinks in class."" and they are sitting in the front of the room texting and drink diet soda and chomping on some bubble gum. That is just one thing that grinds my gears. they are so hypocritical sometimes.

8B9D13065168,"Hearing multiple opinions can be very useful to solve situations. That is why when people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person. This is why seeking multiple opinions can help some one make better choice by receiving different view points, they can obtain better advice, and they can get more than one solution for what ever they need help with.
One way seeking multiple opinions can help someone make better choices is receiving different view points. For example, when I was in second grade I was made fun of for not playing basketball at a socially acceptable standard. I was stricken with rage due to the torment I got from the other boys. Their taunting led me to tell my parents. As we talked I expressed to them that I wanted to hurt them, I wanted to treat them the way they were treating me. I wanted them to feel the growing anger inside of me. However, my parents quickly stopped me and told me that violence is never the answer. They acknowledged the way I felt but told me if I truly wanted to get back at the kids I had to practice. I asked them how practicing basketball would free me of my anger. They responded saying that If I practiced and became good at basketball the kids would have no reason to bother me about it anymore. I did what my parents said and practiced like my life depended on it. I soon was able to play almost better than everyone who teased me. If my parents had not shared another view point, then I would have lashed out on the kids who made me fell awful. My parents different opinion caused me to make a better decision. Another example of this is when I witnessed another kid getting bullied. In fifth grade a boy in my class was getting bullied by two other boys. I saw them picking on the other boy almost everyday. I didnt want interfere because I was afraid of getting bullied too. I tried to ignore the actions of the boys and just stay away from them. My plan to ignore them worked for a while, however, the burden was becoming to overwhelming. I told my sister about the situation to get it off of my chest. She then told me that I was right to not interfere but I should have got a teacher involved. The next day I went to a teacher and told her about the bullying and from that day on the two boys stopped bullying the other boy. In both of these examples I sought after different opinions and I received different view points on the situations, which led me to make better choices. This is why one way seeking multiple opinions can help someone make better choices is by receiving different view points.
Another way seeking multiple opinions can help someone make better choices is because they can get better advice. For example, I tried to get my dad's opinion on an outfit I had prepared for a party I was going to. he said my outfit looked fine and that I should go to the party in it. For a second opinion I went to my mom to see what she thought.
she told me that it look awful. We then went into my closet and prepared a completely different outfit. At the party I got many compliments on my outfit and it was all thanks to my mom. Another example of this is when I needed advice on what I should get for my friend's birthday. My friend Generic_Name's birthday party was around the corner and I still had not purchased a present for her. I asked some of my other friends what they thought I should get for her. They all said things like candy, jewelry, and clothes. Before I went to get anything I asked one last person, which was Generic_Name's best friend Generic_Name, what she would like. I told Generic_Name about the suggestions I got from my other friends. She said that she was glad I had not gotten any of those things because Generic_Name was not really into them. She said what Generic_Name did like was books. I kept this in mind and bought her an adventure book. when her party arrived she opened my present and burst into joy. In both of these examples I got advice from multiple people and some advice was better than others. Asking more people for their opinions led me to making better choices. This is why another way seeking multiple opinions can help someone make better choices is because they can get better advice.
Another way seeking multiple opinions can help someone make better choices is by getting multiple solutions. For example I needed help on my math homework. I went to my Mom first and asked her for help. The work was on multiplication and division. My mom took a look at my homework and started to explain a method I could use to conquer multiplication and division faster. I understood the method but I didnt like it very much. I thanked her then went to my dad. I asked him if he knew a way to solve my work also. Luckily he did and showed me how to do it. I liked his way more, although it did take longer to do. I finally completed my homework using my dad's method. Another example of this is when I was in third grade. I was completing my math work and got an answer for a problem. My answer was 5/10ths. I then asked my friend Generic_Name his opinion on my answer and he said that it was wrong. I asked him what he got and he said 1/2. Together we went to the teacher and asked who was write. He said that we were both right, however, in this case we needed to simplify. This meant that Generic_Name was right. In both of these examples I got multiple opinions and multiple solutions and through these answers I learned better options for me.
In conclusion, seeking multiple opinions is important to make better choices. That is why seeking multiple opinions can make help someone make better choices by receiving different view points, they can obtain better advice, and they can get more than one solution for whatever they need help with.",,1062,Seeking multiple opinions,Independent,"When people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person.

3B3D06A95461,"Learning in schools was considered a privilege at first and it eventually became common place to go to school. We have become so advanced in our technology that we don't actually have to be in the building to know what the teacher is saying or teaching.
A lot of people consider this a bane, but I think its more of a boon.
We have progressed a lot in the art of learning, but times have changed now we can learn without leaving the comfort of our homes. There are many upsides to this, for example: we may not have to get up as early depending on where you live.
However there are also many downsides to this new variation of learning too. It can be harder to pay attention with so many distractions around us, like TV for example. It can also be harder to understand or even hear what they are saying when you are on a screen, especially if you are having a hard time with a specific question. You also will eventually have to get up at a specific time to be able to actually attend the class. And you still have to be able to pay attention and stay awake.
On the other hand you don't have to look necessarily presentable (in other words you can just wear your pajamas). You can eat or drink whatever and whenever you want. You can also enjoy the comforts of your home without having to leave. Your also not as stressed to be late for class especially when class could be in your kitchen. There are many other upsides, but I'll just stick with this.
Another advantage is having even more kids attend the class with technology (then again that might overwhelm the teacher). Many children of the 21st century are addicted to technology, might as well use it to help them learn. Besides this is like a more advanced version of homeschooling. And if they learn from home (I think) they don't have to keep a whole bunch of papers in eight different stacks. In other words it would be easier to be organized.
If everybody wanted to learn from home I think it could really benefit a lot of people, namely people who don't want to go anywhere. As I said before, a lot of people consider this a bane, but I think its more of a boon.
If people really gave this new method of learning a chance I think it could really benefit the people who live to far away and don't want to miss school. A lot of people actually use this today, and I think its really benefiting them. So that is why I think we should really consider technological learning as an alternative option for education.",,455,Distance learning,Independent,Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing.

I understand that you are reconsidering the school's cell phone policy. I believe that students like i are responsible to be allowed to use our cell phones during lunch periods and other free times. There may be someone important we have to speak to like our parents. I no that sometimes while im in school i either forget my lunch money or gym cloths for school. It would be a big help if we were aloud to use our phones.
Also as the principal you wouldn't want children in your schools to fail gym or class because they forgot there homework or cloths at home. A lot of people today always forget things in my school. Children shouldn't fail because they forgot to take something to school because everyone makes mistakes. Instead of sitting during free time since you got nothing to do you could always use your phones to entertain yourself. In my cousins school they have permission to use there phones during free time and lunch and i think we should be able to too.
Probably no one would do something inapropriat on their phone cause he or she wouldn't want to be the reason to not be able to have use of their phones. Some teachers wouldn't want their students to use their cell phones because they might do something foolish and iresponsible, but if children have the privlege to do more things and be trusted they could most likely act more mature. You should really think about this policy it could be a great help for a lot of students to do well in school. Also if you do better in school the school acedements would be higher and the teachers would get a higher amount of payment each week.

E81B50098AAC,"In my opinion students should come to school. Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students,which allows the students to be irresponsibles and not to show their work to the teacher. As we can see taking classes online is not a good option to us, for instance if we dont make the time to attend the classes online, or by the time we are taking the online classes we received a text for friend we stop doing what we are doing and got distracted by the electronic devices and, others words if we come to school received classes we are going to be able to get the knowledge that we need to be great in our academic life.
I consider myself that taking online classes is not a good option for students. Some students that take online classes are procrastinators,they dont care about their homework, or they wait until the last minute to do it. The truth is, if we dont take our online classes seriously how we are going to learn. For example,
My friend Generic_Name is taking online classes and she said that taking online classes allow her to be irresponsible by not doing her homework.
Some students dont make the time to take the online classes and we just forget to take it. I wonder how we are going to learn if we dont make the time to do it. Sometimes we got distracted for something that have nothing to with the class that we are taking. However, if we have a job and we got home late, and in our mind is to get home and take the online classes, but when we get home we are so tired and we just want to go to bed, and forget about what we have to do.
The last and more important reason what we should take classes in school is, if we attend to school,we can ask questions to the teacher and he can provides us with a powerful answers and specific examples, if we attend to school that will helps us to get a responsibility to be every day at school and not to miss any important class, and also that would gives the knowledge that we would need to be great in life.
In final consideration I think students should come to school and take our classes, that way we would learn more better than taking it in online, and also that we will makes us more responsible. As we take the classes in school we will get the knowledge that we would need to success in our academic life in general we would be great in our professional life.

You have to take care of the animals by feeding and giving them water two or three times a day. Also, you have to clean stalls, move hay bales and bags of oats.

1E161ADF2ECB,"No Cellphones While Driving
I think cell phones should be banned while driving. The use of cellphones while driving can cause many accidents. Most states already have a law that prohibits the use of cellphones while driving. Car accidents are the leading cause of deaths for teenagers. Another reason they should be banned is because of the rise in ones insurance.
Many beginning drivers are the ones who are most likely to text and drive. They feel like they are free and feel they look cool with their phones out while behind the wheel. Not only teenagers, but anyone can be talking on the phone and get distracted and cause an accident. The use of cellphones is the leading cause of many accidents.
Due to the high rate of accidents, insurance is very expensive. Insurance is extremely high for teenagers because they are the ones who tend to cause more accidents. Personally, I have almost hit many cars because I was distracted by a text message or a phone call. Since the economy and world is very different now, money is very tight. Let's face it, nobody wants to pay a high amount or even pay with their life just to check one message.
Not only do you have to watch for cars, but for pedestrians as well. If you are in a crowded area, or somewhere near many sidewalks, avoid your phone. Anyone can be crossing the road at anytime and since the person is not paying attention to the road, there can be a very deadly accident. Hitting a pedestrian is probably the worst thing you could do. There are now new apps on cell phones that will let others know you are on the road.
Therefore, do not text and drive. Being distracted on your phone can cause many accidents. You can hit a car, make others crash, or even worse, hit a pedestrian while they're crossing the road.

With all do respect i dont think having the electoral college is a proper way to nominate a president, or any senate for our country.
i strongly agree that we should have the idea of changing it to election by popularity. to be known as a good person or a good citizen in your state or anywhere you have to be a great rolemodel & an excellent example to our world. From what i discovered in a passage electoral college is unfair.
who are the electors ? and who picks out the electors ? it dependes on the state. voters sometimes vote for there electores but sometimes the voters get confused on who they voted on. somtimes the wrong candiate.
yes i do think that people who are running for president and senate should have the right to have a chance to become something big, but in my perspective i think that peoiple who is known and well common to there state will be a better outcome to whatever they run for. its like for an example, we live in the Florida state , we've know a woderful and handsome man that helps around our state and town of plant city, giving us more and devoring most of his time helping the enviroment and creating a diffrence. The man would have a greater chance of being nomitanted to being a president unlike the other man who only came out of his shell a year ago and have no idea what this man is capable of. Who will we have better trust on?
When you win a contest or a bet we usally get what we accomplished for, when a elector wins , it takes all. well only the electoral collge works up on this. so please state senator, please change the process on how we are voting now, i think it would be alot more acceptable to vote on a preident on popularity.

As you know some of the students of this school like too do community service also you know some don't enjoy doing community service. In my opinion I believe that community service is good but should not be required to all students.
The reason I believe that community service should not be required is, some students even though they are required will not do the community service making it unfair for the students that do enjoy doing community service.
Another reason I believe that community service should not be required is, some students may have other activities they may have to do instead of the community service such as church or maybe a family situation.
Also, another reason that I believe that community service should not be required is, even though they join in the task of community service they might get frustrated because they are forced to do so and could create a problem between there self and other students.
The final reason I believe that community service should not be required is, some students may not be able to come and join the other students because they may not have a source of transportation.
In conclusion I believe that community service should not be required because some students wouldn't come, another reason is some may have other activities they have to do, also how some students may make a good thing into something bad, and lastly some students may not be able to come join the activity with the other students because they have no source of transportation.

9A14DA33B8EC,"Dear State Senator,
I dont truely have a major problem dealing with the electoral college, its just that i believe that changing it to a popular vote of the president would be easier. Its kind of unnecessary to have as many elctions for all these different levels. It all takes far too long to decide which candidate would better suit this country. I understand it all has to be fair but its better having the popular vote.
When the past leaders of this country were trying to abolish the electoral college, i dont think they were wrong for that. If you believe something isnt right, and your not the only one who believes the same as you, than there must be something wrong. It isnt fair if you win the popular vote and end up losing because of the electoral college. If you really think about it, the electoral college really has the say so of the entire election. So why involve the citizens of this country if what they say dont mean anything at all.
Another important thing is that, the electors that are elected by the state could always defy the will of the people(paragraph 11). For example: the louisiana legislature nearly succeeded in replacing the democratic electors with new electors that would oppose John F. Kennedy. This is absolutely outrageous that someone could lose the opportunity to be president all because of the electors not approving. Its like when your says you can do something but the principle says no.
The only time an electoral college is necessary is if the presidential race is at a tie with the number of votes and its all on the electoral college. The electoral college shouldnt have to be involved if the race isnt a tie and is going smooth. Its like sticking your nose in someones business, or getting involved in something that doesnt concern you. The electoral college is just a big insigator.
So in conclusion, there is no need for the electoral college. It causes too much controversy and shouldnt be brought into play unless a tie has occured.

73D03C57B29E,"Schools today are not what they used to be. In the past, schools were built to accommodate the needs of the children they taught, but in recent times this is not the case. As children have adapted to their surroundings, the average school has largely been unable to catch up. Some propose an alternative. Recently, schools around the country have begun to offer distance learning options, mostly in the form of online classes or video conferencing. This form of education permits both students and teachers remarkable flexibility in an age when schools aren't structured to serve their students, and this is done all while better preparing students for the modern job market and lightening the burden of overcrowding in schools. Students would benefit from a distance learning option because it would allow students to learn on their own schedule, adequately prepare students for the job market of today, and decrease overcrowding in schools.
Students today are more stressed out than ever before. Many students balance school, homework, college applications, a job, clubs, extracurriculars, and their social lives very poorly. A distance learning option would provide a healthier balance. For instance, students could get more sleep if not made to adhere to a rigid morning arrival time. Students could listen to lectures in the car, or on a bus, or at the gym. They wouldn't be restricted to learning in 7 hour chunks, 5 days a week. When learning in an area that is not separate from the world they see around them, students can much more easily apply concepts to things in their lives, allowing for a better, realer educational experience. A distance learning option would vastly decrease student stress by allowing them to learn within their own timetable.
A distance learning option would better prepare students for the 21st century workplace. If school is meant to prepare students for the workplace as we are so often told, than why not let it reflect the modern day workplace? When public school students were largely being prepared to work in factories and mines, maybe this system of bells and rigid schedules made sense, but the modern American student is not being prepared to work in either of these places. The job market now is increasingly more reliant on technology and remote work, and this trend is likely to continue. To work in this sort of environment, students need to learn self-discipline in order to complete tasks. Students today should be able to practice this mode of self discipline by working remotely just as they are likely to do in the future. If as an adult a student will not be corralled into a single building with a rigid schedule, why should schools be like this? While the workers of today still have a boss, it is no longer the overseer threatening to cut your wages if the sleeve of your shirt gets caught in the industrial loom. The structure of schools should reflect this. Students should become more autonomous from their teachers as they get older. It is inappropriate for a 17 year old student to have to ask to use the restroom, a practice better reflected in the factory system of the Gilded Age than by the workplace of today and of tomorrow. Distance learning would better prepare students for the jobs they are likely to do by teaching self-discipline and a less authoritarian means of management.
Many schools today are grappling with the threats posed by overcrowding. Increasing class sizes, crowded hallways, and impersonal student-teacher interactions are just some of the pressures placed on overcrowded schools. Schools must provide more space, more food, and more teachers, sometimes while not being supported by the federal or municipal governments. School officials today feel stretched thin and burnt out having to divvy out their resources and energy to an ever-growing number of students. It is harder and harder to control students, as they feel disconnected from a teacher who has to spread out their attention between hundreds and hundreds of students. If a distance learning option was implemented, these problems could easily be mitigated. Class sizes would decrease, students would have more space, and schools would not be responsible for as many meals as they are today. A distance learning option would decrease overcrowding, allowing schools to better distribute resources, time, and energy.
Education is at a crossroads right now.

2D9C280D296E,"Summer projects or summer assignments are projects or assignments that are given to students over the summer to help them remember what they've done the previous year. The assignments may also prepare students for what they will learn in the upcoming year. That being said, summer projects or assignments should be teacher-designed rather than student-designed because it'll better prepare them in the upcoming class, teachers know the subject matter better than students, and because teachers will make it education a priority.
The first reason on why summer assignments should be teacher-designed is that it will better prepare them in the upcoming class. As said above some assignments prepare students for the upcoming year. The assignments show the students what they might be working on at the beginning of the year. They show the students on what they might need to touch base on or review before coming to class. A student-designed summer assignment wouldn't be able to do that because the student doesn't know the specifics of what they will be learning in the upcoming class. They might know the basics because of a previous course but they will not be able to prepare themselves for new material like a teacher can.
Another reason why summer assignments should be teacher-designed is because the teachers know the subject matter better than students do. Teachers have gone through high school and college, they have degrees in the subject they teach. Summer assignments should be about the subject you're learning. A student would not know more than a teacher because they haven't went through the necessary training or certifications to become a qualified teacher. Teachers know more than students so the summer assignment would be better made by the teacher who knows the subject matter better than the students. Teachers also know what to give to students over the break. It is a well thought out plan and it has to be a good one so they can use it again in future years.
While some people agree with the idea of having teacher-designed summer projects, there are some people who don't. Others believe that summer projects should be student-designed because they are the students and they should dictate what they do over the summer because it's exactly that: summer. They feel as though students shouldn't be brought upon the heavy workloads teachers would give them, instead create their own assignment for each class to assure that they are still learning while not having as much work. Although that is a good argument for why summer assignments should be student-designed, there are other factors that go into it. Some teachers may give lots of work over the break but it is all for a good cause: better education. Education is the number one priority in a teachers eye.
When teachers give lots of work over the break they are assuring that you are learning while still having fun over the summer. When students go back to school after a long break rather than not knowing or remembering any of the course material, students will be better prepared because of all the work given over the summer.
The debate about wether or not summer projects or assignments should be teacher-designed or student-designed is wildly spread in the world. Summer assignments should be teacher-designed because it'll better prepare the students in the upcoming class, teachers know the course material better than the students, and because teachers make education a number one priority.

75F898F291C7,"The students of today are the future of tomorrow. Students need a good education to be the next leaders of the world. People will look up to them one day and they will need to be educated correctly. Having the correct education and correct learning environment in can go a long way. Although some may disagree, active learning and friendships proves that online school will not benefit students.
Active learning is only possible by meeting in person and having the pleasure of talking to them face to face. For example, students tend to learn better when they are actively learning in a classroom with less distractions. I, myself, tend to get distracted fairly easily with my phone. Last week during my physics class I was on my phone and I missed an important date. The teacher did not repeat it because I was not paying attention. Teens attention span is not that long and when we get put into our own home it is an overall distraction. Another example of how active learning is better at school is for the teachers. Eariler in the month I was struggling in my math class and the teacher came up to me to see if I needed extra help because she noticed I was struggling. If I was to be in online school then the teachers would not notice I was struggling because they cannot see me. Active learning is the best form of learning.
While on the topic of communication between teacher and students, friendships are a lot easier to make while attending school. For example, I have met a lot of new people at school that do not live close to me. I would have never met one of my best friends if it wasn't for school. School brought us together by letting us see each other everyday. Online school could dis encourage friendships because students are not meeting new people. Another reason why friendships are a lot easier to make attending school is because of sports. High school and middle school sports are a way for teens to engage in school activities. I have met a lot of new people through high school baseball and basketball because they share the same interest as me. Meeting people that enjoy the same things as me is just a conversations starter, which leads to friendships. Friendships and the feeling over being included is just as important as school.
Some may believe that online school is better because the people who have a hard time in school by getting bullied won't have that fear anymore. While thinking that way is reasonable, it is inaccurate because teens will always go through hardships and they will need to overcome that hardships. For example, Oprah Winfrey had a hard and gruesome childhood. She did not give up and has overcome all of her obstacles in life to get where she is today. Oprah is now one of the most influential women in the world and overcame all of her obstacles. Overcoming hardships at school can make individuals stronger as a person.
This is important because students need a good education for a good future. People in the past went to school everyday with no technology and had to learn in person. Since that way has been working, there is no need for a change. Students of the future can hopefully see how much more beneficial going to school is than attending online school.",,571,Distance learning,Independent,Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing.

I would like to inform you of my place, and arguments for changing to election by popular vote for the president of the United States.
I am in favor of changing to the electon throught popular vote becuase if you really think about it, who is getting a president? it's the citizens. The citizens that are qualified to vote are voting on who they think is going to support us best based on our every day lives. so therefore it should be the citizens choice on who is THEIR president rather than the factor of both the votes in congress and votes of citizens. It should be the votes of the citizens that decide wether or not this person should be elected to run OUR country!
The Electorial College is completely unfair. it basically defeats the purpose of us even voting becuase electors have the power to go completely against what the people say, and a lot of the time they will just because they can. That's the way everything is, the government will do everything in its power to try and to the complete opposite of what the people want to happen.
What the people want to happen is not selfish, it's what they, the people, know what would all around help everybody. But once again, the government will do everything in it's power to do the opposite of what we want to happend and what we know id right for all the people not just a few, or one.

ECF6C77511E0,"Dear Principle,
Some of my friends do community service for our town. Meanwhile, some of my other friends do not do community service, and think that it is a waste of their time. I think that community service is a wonderful thing to do. I think that you should consider making community service mandatory for all students. Community service, helps others in need, teaches students responsibility, and gets them involved in what is happening around them.
First of all, community service helps others in need. By making community service mandatory, you will be helping the lives of many other people or the environment. Little things like picking up trash in the park, or walking a neighbors dog, would really help out the town and the people living in it. Small things can make a big difference. And if everyone has to do community service, our town will be making a big difference in our community.
Next, community service will teach students responsibility. Having to be somewhere to help someone every week or so, will teach them responsibility. Helping someone out will teach students how to be responsible, and how to manage their time wisely. Some people said that it would be a waste of their time to do community service. When it is not a waste, and could also help them out. For example, if a student likes playing at a park, but they do not do their part to help keep it clean, it can be closed. One person makes a big difference.
Lastly, it helps students get involved in what around them. Community service will help students to know what is going on in their town. By helping out a less fortunate family will let a student know that there are people in town that need help. And that there are little things that we can do to help them. Also, if a student is tutoring a child, they will learn that there are kids that may need a little more help then he or she might need. And that tutoring them can help make a very big difference.
In conclusion, I think you should make all students do community service for our town. It will help many others in our town that need help. It will help teach students responsibility. Also, it will get students involved in what is happening around them. Therefore I think that you should make community service mandatory for all students in our school.",,406,Community service,Independent,"Some of your friends perform community service.

9BE522EE641E,"Although it seems that the main reason for trying to explore and study Venus is just to learn more about the planet, however the author does have another reason. They believe that exploring Venus will allow the human race to conduct more dangerous missions. The author mentions several improvement to our technology and methods of exploration that are proving to be more usefull in trying to learn more about Venus.
Firstly, the author mentions that Venus is the planet most similar to Earth, however, it is more dangerous. In Paragraph 3, it is mentioned that the planet's surface temperature can reach 800 degrees Fahrenheit and the atmosphere is almost completely made of carbon dioxide making it inhabiltal. Yet, the author mentions several ways that NASA is trying to overcome these obstacles. To begin with, in Paragraph 5, it is mention that NASA believes that a possible solution could be creating a vehicle that would hover about 30 miles above the surface. This vehicle would allow astronauts to remain near Venus without having to stay on the planet's dangerous surface. However this idea won't actually help astronauts study Venus, since the dense atmosphere won't allow any visible sign of the surface without getting closer. Although unable to help astronauts to actually explore Venus, this vehicle can be used as a type of station or base near Venus to collect research or as shelter to the astronauts. This vehicle could be used on different planets as well; eventually, there could be a base on any planet that is too dangerous for mankind. This could be one of the many possible ways to improve our abilities for future space travel. Improvements like these are why the author believes that the human race should continue to try to study Venus.
More important changes for space exploration are the improvements in out technology.
In Paragraph 6 it is mentioned that our current forms of taking pictures and videos can't be used unless close to the ground; however, the materials for these devices would melt if they're too close to the surface. For planets similar to Venus, with hazardes surfaces and inmense heat, a possible solution can be using old technology. Looking back at the article, in Paragraph 7 some simplified devices last longer in conditions resembling Venus. Another use of simplier and older technology can be the use of mechanical computers to send and collect information. Since these computers don't require electronics to work they can be built of stronger materials that can overcome all the challenges found on Venus. Like mentioned in the previous paragraph, these new changes are why the author believes that mankind should keep trying to explore Venus because it will all help in future explorations to similarly dangerous planets.
In conclusion, the author supports the idea that studying Venus is worth persuing despite the dangers because it can help in trying to explore similar planets.

They rely on the muscles from your face to tell them what emotions you are feeling. Their are six basic emotions, happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness. Classrooms and schools should not use this technology for multiple reasons.
Classrooms should not use this technology for more than one reason. First of all in classrooms all over the world there are teachers, and those teachers are just trying to give there students the education they need.

Can you imagine a classroom full of first graders trying to get anything done when there is practically a robot in there classroom? Another reason why this technology should not be used is for the students sake; maybe they like to keep there emotions to themselves and not be told how they are feeling.
Finally the cost to install or buy one of these for every classroom would probably be threw the roof.

96B8F7A4DAB9,"Dear Principal,
Hi, this is one of a student from the SCHOOL_NAME. I am writing this letter to talk about the policies our school is having. The policy that i will be talking about is the cell phone policy.
I think our school should allow students to bring phones to school and use them during lunch periods and other free times, but as long as the phones are turned off during class time. Because we have busy students, their parents will be calling them to inform them on what they should do. I agree, sometimes students do get carried of with their phones. But some students don't have phones, so don't think to hard about this. Students do want to text with their friends, and they can because sometimes school gets boring, but I think that instead of focusing on what to do with the phones, you should focus on what to do with the classes. The reason students text during class is because the class isn't interesting enough. What I noticed is that more people text in the ""boring"" classes then in the ""fun"" classes. You don't need to confiscate the phones, let the students keep them, but if the classes are better, then the rate of students using phones will decrease. Also if the work is to hard, students might text some answers to each other, so don't make the work to hard either. I'm just saying, its your decision. I also use phones, and I love to text, but sometimes play games or text other people when i get bored and sometimes I get texts from my friends asking me what the answers are to a problem or something like that.

6B9A69F6E448,"My school is adding a rule. the rule is every one needs to play a type of sport or needs to do something related like help around the school.

Also the teachers may not think of good,fun ideas so the students can get creative on the activities.

They can interact with people if they are always going to be at the school. they can develop some type of hobbie just by helping around the school.
They students can also create some fun ideas for the school cause they may be more open minded. The students can plan some upcoming events for the school cause that may have more fun and better ideas than teachers. There are more students that can come up with some GOOD ideas for dances,any type of upcoming events. Many teachers cant come up with fun ideas cause they dont know what type of music we like neither food.
I agreed because there arent as many students that do stuff at home or just dont like doing any activities. There are many teachers that often get more tired than others so which means the students can do some work for them if needed or just help around the school not just the teachers. The students can make the school have a better name because of the sportsman ship they are having.",,465,Mandatory extracurricular activities,Independent,"Your principal has decided that all students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity.

CB0F10A7C73C,"There are quite a few advantages in limiting car usage. You may think thats a very silly idea but honestly you have no idea. lets look at the bright side of this. If we limit car usage there will be less money waste, because you wont have to worry about spending your money on gas. Instead you can use it for something more valuable. Also in the article they mention this...""Street parking, driveways and home garages are generally forbidden inthis experimental new district on the outskirts of Freiburg, near the French and Swiss borders."" They dont really even use the cars so why have them if to some people in French they are useless.
Also as a result, 70 percent of Vauban's families do not own cars, and 57 percent sold a car to move here.""When i had a car i was always tense. I'm much happier this way,"" said Heidrun Walter, a media trainerand mother of two. So now i know that not everyone needs a car most people dont. They think that us having only taxi's and busses things would be a better community and society to us, but i disagree. We wouldn't be able to get from one place to another as fast as we can, because of how there are people going everywhere to different places. So im glad we dont have only busses and taxi's.
""In the United States, the Enviromental Protection Agency is promoting ""car reduce"" communities, and legislators are starting to act,if cautiosuly. In previous bills, 80 percent of appropriations have by law gone to highways and only 20 percent to other transport. Can yall believe that for the first time, two other Colombian cities, Cali and Valledupar, joined the event. Meaning they are for getting rid of cars. Also as of Apirl 2013, the number of miles driven per person was nearly 9 percent below the peak and equal to where the country was in January 1995, Part of the explination is because Americans could not afford new cars, and the unemplyed weren't going to work anyway.
New York's new bike-sharing program and its skyrocketing bridge and tunnel tolls reflect those new priorities, as do a proliferation of car-sharing programs across the nation. Also ""a study last year found that driving by young people decreased 23 percent between 2001 and 2009...""thats crazy to think about that now we are in 2014 and i believe that number has most likely gone up. We need to fix it as soon as we can to prevent harm to our sociecty, because the younger ones have more reckless drivers than the older ones, and adults.
Finally, those are my reason and my explinations on why i think cars should stop because of the harm to our community and how we should start using bikes or even walk from point a to point be,or use the busses either one will safe us the gas mopney for example.

60604062ECE8,"There is many advantages to limiting car usage. There's less pollution emitted into the atmosphere, Safety is reassured, Time is saved, resources are conserved, People seem to relief stress being car-free.
I read a passage called ""In German Surburb, LIfe Goes On Without Cars,"" by Elisabeth Rosenthal. In the passage Elisabeth wrote about how Residents of Vauban, Germany have given up their cars. 70% of the families in Vauban do not own any cars, and 57% of the families there sold their cars to move here. ""When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way,"" Said Heidrun Walter as she was walked down the verdant streets. Vauban was completed in 2006, this movement of seperating suburban life from auto usage is called ""smart planning."" This movement can help a lot with the current efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from tailpipes. This movement is happening all across Europe and the United States. Europe is responsible for 12% of greenhouse gases in Europe while it's up to 50% in the United States. Vauban is home to 5,500 people, it's basic precepts are being adopted from all around the world to try to reduce car usage, to make suburbs more compact and more accessible to public transportation. They're making stores a walk away on a main street, rather than in malls that are quite a distance. In the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency is promoting something new called ""car reduce"" communities.
In the second passage I read called, ""Paris bans driving due to smog,"" by Robert Duffer. In this passage Robert wrote about what happened in Paris; It enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of smog. Motorists with even numbered license plates were ordered to leave their cars at home or get a 22-euro fine, odd-numbered plated cars would have to do the same the next day. With this in effect, 4,000 drivers were fined that's atleast $124,000 American dollars; Congestion went down 60%. With this partial ban the smog cleared up enough on Monday for the ruling of French Party to rescind the ban for odd-numbered plates on Tuesday.
In the third passage called, ""Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota,"" by Andrew Selsky. In this passage Andrew wrote about a day in Bogota, Colombia and how this ""Car-free"" day impacted not only the City of Bogota but two other cities and probably another country. On the ""Car-free"" day in Colombia many Colombians hiked, biked skated or took public transportation. The goal of the whole event was to promote alternative transportation and reduce smog or get a $25 fine. ""It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution,"" said Carlos Arturo Plaza as he rode a two-seat bicycle with his wife. This event can start a chain reaction and inspire other countries and nations to take a step to reduce all the pollution being emitted into the atmosphere. For the first time in the three year spand the event was held, two there cities joined Bogota. Cali and Valledupar joined in on the ""Car-free"" day in Bogota, Colombia. ""These people are created a revolutionary change, and it's crossing borders,"" Said Enrique Riera Mayor of Asuncion, Paraguay.
In the last passage called, ""The End of Car Culture,"" by Elisabeth Rosenthal. In this passage Elisabeth wrote about how in America more Americans are buying less cars, driving less and less people are getting their Driver's Licenses. Driving decreased a 23% between 2001 and 2009. Experts say if this trend of buying, and driving less cars continue it'll be benefical implications for Crabon emissions and for the environment. The reduced usage and buyage of cars has a negative and a positive effect. The positive thing about it is that it's less pollution into the air, which means less Greenhouse gases, less traffic, and more safety; but it's negative effect is on the car industry their profits will plumet down quickly. As a result of this issue to the car industry Bill Ford laid out a business plan for a world with personal vehicle ownership is impractical; He's going to partner up with telecommunications industry to create cities where ""Pedestrian bicycle, private cars, commerical and public transportation traffic are a connect network to save time, conserve resources, lower emissions adn improve safety.""
In Conclusion, all of these factors like creating communities where there is no access to cars, banning driving for a couple days, having a car-free day, or just coming up with ideas of making self-sufficent cars can all lead to less emissions into the air and creating less smog; reassuring the safety of pedestrians; and conserving resources. These factors are all advantages of the idea of limiting car usage.

Well what if I told you that the next model you buy might even drive itself? With todays technology self driving cars are no longer just the fantasy of a persons imagination. Self driving cars exist right now in fact google has had self driving cars scence 2009. Don't get the wrong idea however, the self driving cars have a ways to go before they hit the streets of America.
Cars that drive without the use of humans will have a much bigger impact than just not having to remotly drive it. A resurcher named Sergey Brin envisions a future with fleets of self driving cars transporting the public. Humans will no longer need to buy cars wich could save a lot of money for ordanary people who dont have alot of it. With less human driven cars Sergey foresees that the fuel used will be half of what is used today. That will have a huge impact on our environment and natural resources. Having to import less fuel means that America can spend that big chunk of money some were else.
The self driving cars of the future will be equiped with the latiest and greatiest technology. Todays cars already have radars that can stop your car from backing up into an object or even emergancy stop for you. Motion sensors can now beam lasers that form a constantly updating 3D model of the cars surroundings. A self driving car could use those 3D images to know when there is on coming trafic, See road blocks up ahead and even stop if a deer were to run out into the road.
Some people do not like the idea of a self driving car because it takes the controle out of there own hands. The Self driving cars that are currantly in use right now still give the driver controle over the vehicle. The cars even need some human help. The cars have been equiped to tell the driver to take over when human help is requred. Some cars will have a vibrating seat or flash light on the wind shield, or the car might even just tell you to take over.

A21A69767BEE,"So why do ask other people for their own opinion to help us make the better choice, well by improving your people/talking skills, That most people are usually nervous to talk infrount of others, and how we organize what got from the opinions. Let's to learning these reasons and hopeful teaching you some life skills!
What do to improved our talking/people skills, it's important to get feedback from others and you don't even know when you need it of not. Like here's an example, Generic_Name problem weather she should join the lacrosse team or not and does'nt know what to do. But she gets nervous, so she gets scared asking anyone to help her. So she goes to ask her friends and family weather or not to join. Questions like that are used in everyday life and it's always good to have a second pair of eyes to help you along the way, But it's hard when you are nervous.
How to not be nervous is hard thing to do, Because thing has the mindset were people are judging them every second. When you talk to people about something like Generic_Name she ask different friends and family on problem and still gets nervous around them. When those moments happened you take a deep breathe. Because this what want to say. The people arent going to bite you, they will answer you just like everyone else. Focus what you want to say, no one wants to be stuck in a cage of guilt, because of one questions they never asked. Now I hear that a lot and why I'm telling you this it's because I don't want to see the coward out of anything you are going to strong to go through the future, jobs, relationships, and more.
Now you to ask your friends about your question you need help decided on. When you go the ask something they feel like their opinion valves you a lot to help you with that decision, and might give you more information form other person also could build a stronger relationship. With a lot opinions weather you should join that team, it does give you different perspectives on how different people react to that problem. Others will say yes or no, and might give into details. Now that Generic_Name understands to strong and not scared, she gets her opinions and now ready to sort them out. She uses the simple pros and cons list, and able to find her answers easier then before. Now she checks the list and more votes for her to join the team, and she happy to use her life skill in the future.
Now what did we learn while reading this well, we understood what type of problem Generic_Name had and probloby relate to your problem. we learned that some are scared and nervous to talk to others and that it's important to get over with it, to not cause even more problems in the future. Lastly how can we organize the opinions and how simple it is to do. That why I think it's better to talk to other to more then one person for their opinion. So I hope next time you can remember to use those skills in the real world.",,538,Seeking multiple opinions,Independent,"When people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person.

4AC3EAD1FF0A,"Why are the streets always so jammed!? Everyone asks that all the time almost everyday around 5:00pm. The reason for is because cars being excessivley used nowadays. There are several different advantages that can happen when limiting car usage. The world would be a better place if less cars were used on the roads.
To begin with, why do we the peole use cars? The reason is because it can get us from A to B really fast. But that's only 1 positive for the usage of cars. Think about the negatives and disadvantages of using cars. My 1 main reason of the usage of cars is that it make the world less active. Walking or running is a daily form of exercise, and the usage of cars is limiting the numbers of that. In section 1 Hedrum Walter says that he always was tense when he had a car, he's much happier without one. This is why we should limit the usage of cars. We don't want the people to be tense all the time, we want them to enjoy and relax when using transportation other than cars. Walking will take longer but is better in the long run. You don't have traffic jams, you can go places and areas that cars couldn't fit through and you have many different ways of getting to a particular place rather than just a road. The only repercution that you have to worry about with walking is the rain. But heres the thing, In section 3 Bogota Mayor Antanas Mockus said ""The rain hasn't stopped people from participating."" This means rain isn't a problem when walking on the streets. Cars may offer more protection but its more dangerous than walking. This is why places like Germany, Paris, and Bogota are trying to carry out the experience of a ""car-free"" life.
In addition, another advantage of limitiong car use is limiting riots. I know we have all heard of people screaming and arguing in the cars of people in front or behind them. This is a big problem nowadays and it's because of the use of cars. If we can limit the usage of cars than we can hopefully reduce the level of aggrevation on the streets. Alot of accidents happen everyday dealing wiht the usage of cars. Cars provoke alot of deaths if you think about it. If we could limit the usage of driving cars than this will limit the amount of deaths per year by cars. That's the number 1 disadvantages to the using of cars. Walking and biking are my 2 favorite types of transportation because it's smooth, and it's more conveinant. Less accidents and injurys happen when walking or riding a bike. This can also help the streets be less packed which will allow for easier access to certain places. DUI is the main worst tragic that comes from the usage of cars. Many people die everyday because of drunk drivers and thats not respectable. Just imagine if the same person who caused an accident in the car while drunk was drunk on the streets while walking, he more than likely couldn't of caused an accident if he was walking and not driving a car. Just think about all of the disadvantages that cars promote.
Last but not least, comes the president (Barack Obamas) most valuable reason to limit car usage. Obama wants to curb the U.S greenhouse gas emissions, and by that he wants to get fewer cars on the road. In section 4 it shows that ""studies suggest that americans are buying fewer cars, driving less and getting fewer licenses as each year goes by."" This means that Obama's goal is prevailing. Paris came to a conclusion that they decided to ban driving due to smog. In section 2 it states that Paris air became so polluted that they enforced a parial ""driving ban"" to get rid of the air pollution. They blamed this problem due to the diesel fuel. They figured out that diesels make up 67% of vehicles in France, as to 53% in the rest of Western Eurpoe. In section 2 its pretty much the same reason except Bogota's goal is to ""promote alternative transportation and reduce smog. The violators faced $25 fines."" They figured limiting car usage was a good opportunity to take away stress and reduce air pollution. In section 4 the last paragraph tells you what Bill Ford plan was. He wanted to create cities in which ""pedestrian, bicycle, private cars, commercial, and public transportation traffic are woven into a connected network to save time, onserve resources, lower emissions and improve safety.""
These are some advantages of less car usage. Many good things will start to happen if everyone could lower the usage of cars nowadays. We don't want the world to have polluted air, we don't want to promote car accidents, and we also don't want under age drivers on the streets. So take in mind the disadvantages of usage of cars and compared the to the the advantages of limiting car usage.

9B968665218F,"Dear Florida Senator,
I am here to tell you about the electoral collage, and not why we should keep the horrible thing, but how we can replace it with something better. The electoral collage has been in use for a very long time, since the Constitution was finalized, but it should end now. The Electoral Collage is a confusing system that can easily be manipulated and changed to benifit one political party. As shown in many past elections, it has just become another reason people do not want to vote. Popular vote is easy and simple and it should be used in future elections.
First of all confusion is a huge factor when talking about the Electoral collage. We as voters do not want all these processes. We do not want hoops that we want to jump through. We are simple people who want a simple process. In the electoral collage, there are 538 electors, with a majority of 270 needed to be voted in as president. Each state gets entitled to two for your senators, and one for each member of the House of Representatives. This so far is making my head spin. This could be so much simpler if we just used the poular voting system. In this system, the people can directly vote for thier president without any huge hassel. This makes it easier and more fair for the voters. Speaking of fair, lets talk about how Unfair the Electoral Collage is.
In the Electoral Collage, there is no partial winning. It is a winner take all system, with the exception of Maine and Nebraska. This makes it very unfair to votes. Swing states add on to this idea. Swing states are very large states that have a higher representation in the Electoral collage. These are also the main targets of presidential cannidates. By getting these swing states, cannidates can gain a lot of votes in one state. This leaves other states, such as Ohio and Montana with little to no interaction from the presidential cannidates. This is not fair. We need the popular vote system. We need to be able to equally represent everyone without any shady practices. And that is the last topic, the electors really control the final outcome.
The final sin of the electoral collage is just too big to look over. The electoral collage can change wether a person is voted in or not because of the electors. They choose who they represtent. If you can not see where this is going let me explain. A set of people who want a specific president can just represent him. This could go so far as to leave a state with only representatives of one cannidate. This could never happen in popular vote because we don't have electors, we have people. We have real American people who want to vote for who they want to vote for. Nothing more, nothing less.
Even though the Electoral Collage seems like th root of all evil, there are a few upsides. First, there is less likely to have a dispute than a popular vote. A dispute is not impossible, it is just less likely. Second, big states are weighted how they should be. They are larger states that comprise most of the population and the country. They should be represented more than smaller states. Finally, since it is a winner takes all, there are no Run-Off elections. This keeps the process shorter, but not as short as it would be in the popular vote system.
So to conclude, popular vote should be used in upcomming elections. The electoral collage is a confusing system that can easily be manipulated to help or hurt a specific cannidate. Although the electoral collage properly represent smaller states and avoids Run-Off elections, it does not represent smaller states and can easly shift the election from one side to another. Popular vote keeps the process short and makes it fair. It represents everyone fairly. I do not want you to agree with me, I want you to look and the cold hard facts. Popular vote should be used in the Election from now on.

BBF9F4C1E46A,"It's a nice, peaceful day outside. The wind slowly blows through the trees, and the sun shines brightly. You're driving with your window down, and you can smell food in the air. Your destination is your mom's house to eat dinner with the family. Suddenly, your phone pings in the passenger seat. You reach over to tap it, so you can see what the notification was. Before you even get over there, a large horn sounds through the air along with the sound of your car smashing into another. You've just crashed your car into another, injuring yourself and the people in the other car. It was all because of that notification catching your attention. Clearly, phones should not be allowed out in cars.
Phones should always be on silent in the car. Our brains are trained to jump at the sound of our phone beeping. Our genes have been shaped through generations to seek rewards, and the little notification sound triggers our brain's carnal function to check for a reward. You literally cannot for a long time after a phone beeps without touching it unless you have a really strong sense of willpower. If our brains are trained to check our phone as soon as it beeps, why should we risk our brains immediately going for the phone in the car when we can just turn it off?
Phones should also not be visible, because we are inclined to touch it when we see it, especially if the screen lights up. It only takes one moment of somebody's eyes leaving the road for there to be a life-altering crash. The National Safety Council reports that cell phone use while driving leads to 1.6 million crashes each year. This means that 1.6 million times a year, a phone caused somebody to crash their car. That one moment they needed to look at the road and they didn't, happened 1.6 million times in one year. Without a doubt, if phones weren't out in those cars, those 1.6 million incidents would be non-existent.
Last but not least, phones should be put out of the driver's reach at all times including red lights. Undoubtedly, with technology today, there should be no excuse for someone to be on the phone while driving. You can click your steering wheel for whatever you need in most newer model cars. Taking your eyes off the road endangers both you and other people on the road.
One of the studies of Harvard concluded that 2 in every 3 people are addicted to their phones. Sometimes we have to take precautions, simply because we just cannot control ourselves sometimes. A good percentage of people whip out their phones at a red light without even thinking because they think they're safe. Even at a red light, there are still cars moving around you, consequently, you must always be alert on the road.
Phones should not be allowed to be seen, hear, or be in reach when in a vehicle. It puts human lives at stake, and it ruins others. Having a phone in the car is one of the most dangerous things you can do in a vehicle. Next time, you stop at a red light and see somebody on their phone ask yourself this. Is whatever they're doing worth it? ",,549,Phones and driving,Independent,"Today the majority of humans own and operate cell phones on a daily basis.

ECE0D33B9B85,"Students attend classes from home.
Should students gonna be benefit from being able to attend classes from home? the reasons why students are gonna be benefit from being able to take classes in their house are the following: students can sleep more time during the morning so, they can concentrate better, students are not gonna be distracted by their classmates, and students can do their work when do they have tome to do it.
Students can sleep more time during the morning so, this let's to students to have more energy and learn new stuff in a better way. It is already proof that most students who sleep better during night have a better output scholarship. Also they can have some snacks in their house, so they are not gonna be hungry and their brain it is not gonna be thinking in food. If students start getting stressed they can a take a break or take a nap, as long they finish their assignments. And this gives them more energy to continue working on any assignment.
Students are not gonna be distracted by their classmates, so they can concentrate in a better way. Also students can learn more fast and have their own way lo learn new stuff, because all students have different ways to learn. Most of the students work better when they are alone in a place without voices. Also many students get a better concentration when they are listening to music, and many teachers do not aloud students to do it during their classes. The majority of students likes to talk with their friend during class and this interrupts the other students who really want to put attention, if students took classes in their houses this would not be a problem.
Students can do their assignments when they want and have time to do it. Students can use as much time as they need so, this let's student to do a better work and time to add some creativity. Most of the student do a better work when they want to do it and not when someone is forcing them to do it or have just one class to finish it; for example, when teachers gave a due date to finish a assignment many student start stressing them selves, and if they took classes in their house they have more time to work on it.

8614BB3690FA,"A new technology called the Facial Action Coding System allows computers to recognize emotions. As mentioned in the article, this technology can be useful in many formats; including psychology, art, and acting. Reading human emotions can be beneficial in some areas, but it is not valuable in the classroom setting because each student learns differently, computers should not be used as teachers, and the cost is not worth few benefits.
In the article, Dr. Huang predicts that with the new technology, the computer can recognize when a student is confused or bored and change the lesson to fix it. While this seems helpful, not every student learns the same way. A lesson that some students will understand, other students will be confused on. It would not be fair to the students who understand the lesson to make it easier because they might become bored, which the computer would then have to modify the lesson more to fix. The Facial Action Coding System is able to read human emotions, but it cannot satisfy the need of each individual student in a classroom. This technology also is not valuable to the classroom because a computer instructor is not valuable to the classroom in the first place. Computers should not be used as teachers because it can unemploy teachers, completely change the education system, and possibly bore students. The education is fine as it is without adding a foreign techonology for students to adjust to. This system should not be implemented in schools because of budget costs, also. The technology is probably expensive and is another thing the school would have to budget for and taxpayer dollars would go to. Recognizing emotions is not important enough to be worth that amount of money.
All in all, this technology is not the most beneficial or valuable device to be using in the classroom.

I think you should join the Seagoing Cowboys program. This program is a job opportunity to help take care of animals that are shipped off to other countries that were left in ruins. When I was a Seagoing Cowboy, I helped others, took care of animals, and got to go to places all over the world.
The Seagoing Cowboy program has people taking care of animals such as horses young cows, and mules that are shipped overseas. When I worked overseas as a Seagoing Cowboy, I served as a watchman on my second trip. On the boat, I checked the animals every hour, and I cracked my ribs. Even though I got hurt, it was a good experience to work on a boat with animals. Along with helping others, you get to see many other esqusite places. I got to see parts of Europe and China, but the most special place I got to see was the Acropolis in Greece. It was also special when I took a gondola ride in Venice, Italy. And these are just a few of the amazing places I've visited! Being a Seagoing Cowboy is a lot of work, but it sure is a lot of fun, seeing and learning things from all over the world.
How did I become a Seagoing Cowboy, you asked? Well, my friend Don Reist invited me to go with him on a cattle boat to Europe, and I couldn't say no. It was an opportunity of a lifetime. In Europe, we heard about the UNRRA hiring people to take care of the livestock that was to be shipped to other countries. Don and I signed up. This decision changed my life forever.

My name is STUDENT_NAME. i would like to voice my views on community service. this is why many people should do community service.
The first reason is kids can learn about themselves and others. Community service is a great ways to meet new people. Many can learn many great things about themselves and many others.
Community service is a reason for kids to get out of the house. So there not inside on a beautiful day. There lives are being wasted and someone needs to do something. They need to do something with there lives. If they don't then they will not know what to do in the real world. They will then fail in life because they will not have experience with other people and all they want is ""There Way"".
Most kids could use this so they could meet new people. For example that kid you sit behind in math class might be a pretty cool kid and he could help you study, so you can stop copying of him, you two might even like the same music.

1A04C4505577,"Some schools are requiring students to do a summer projects to assure that they are learning during their break. Do you think that this project should be designed by the teachers or students?
Teachers should design the project because they know what their students struggle on and could include some tips. Teachers are with their students the whole year so their most likely to know what each student struggles on, it may not be the whole class that struggles on one topic but the point of the project is to go over certain topics so you won't forget them. The main reason students take test are to see what they struggle on or lack knowledge in and with the teacher designing the project it will focus mainly on those topics. If the students were to design the project they could focus to much on one topic or may not include the most needed topic at all. For example, if it were a math project the student could struggle with their multiplication tables but have more knowledge on everything else, the student could forget to include the multiplication tables or they could just focus lightly on the topic they really need. Teachers could include a guide or some helpful tips to make sure that everything that is to be known about that concept will be there. Students could have payed attention to the topic but still couldn't comprehend it, the teacher could know some tips and tricks to help make it easier for a struggling student. Including helpful tips could also make it easier for the students who have learning disabilities.
Students that struggle with a concept could teach themselves the wrong thing. A student that is struggling with a concept will probably use the internet to try to learn more about it, certain websites can teach the student the wrong thing or probably won't teach them at all. Teachers will use their knowledge and what they've learned to teach the student the correct way or how they're supposed to learn it. The internet has been known to sometimes have false information, a student that doesnt know a concept very well will probably try to use this false information to do the concept and it will most likely confuse or frustrate the student and they will either do the concept wrong or won't do it at all. The teacher could give the student the correct information or lead them to the correct and most helpful websites. Teachers have been through school and college to become the teachers they are so they know a lot about every topic they teach, they can teach each student the way they should be taught. Some students might even go to a friend or family member for help and they could teach the student the wrong thing. Modern day schools might not have taught the same way as older adults may have learned it so that most likely won't help.
Teachers can tell the students how to format the project in ways they won't forget it. Students might just write down the topics and not the way to do it or they could even just write down a problem about the topic and later on forget how to do it. Teachers can give the students a certain amount of problems so they won't forget or if it is a written or typed project it could tell the students how many sentences they will need. For instance, if it is a writing project it will tell the students how many spaces they will need, when they should indent their sentences or how they should use certain words. Telling the students how to format the project could even keep the paper neat, if the students were to write all of the topics together they could later be confused on which topic is which. It could even help you focus on the topics you struggle with the most. If the project was being graded formatting could make it easier to point the teachers in the direction of certain topics. Teachers informing the students on how to format could really save time and keep things neat.

760272F05BCE,"Now a days you see everyone with cars driving to places instead of walking. There are some small towns that cars are not needed because everything is so close but other cities everyone has to drive because everything is very distant from one another. Cars are needed on a daily basis to get to school, or to get to their job but walking or even biking would be a great idea because you would not be poluting the environment there would be less traffic jams and it would reduce the greenhouse gas. Limiting car usage would be a great idea and it would make peoples life a lot better and healthier because instead of driving they would walk to take a bike.
Polution is a big problem especially in big cities because everyone is driving and the smoke the cars leave makes our environment gross. Polution is not only because of the smoke the cars produce, it can also be when someone throws plastic into the oceans and poluting the waters or having trash in parks without recycling. I think we should re-enforce the recycling systems because many people dont know the benefits to that and how better our community and even world could be. When your are driving a car and especially in big cities like New York you need a car everywhere or just take the taxi. But just taking the taxi it wont reduce the probablity of polluting the air, it will still have the same effect as if you were driving your own car. If people would just walk or bike to their job or to their school poluting the air would not be a problem just like stated in source 2. In source 2 it talks about how in Paris they would fine the people up to 31 dollars.
There would also be less traffic jams due to the limiting of car usage just like stated in Source 3. In source 3 it talks about how in Bogota, Colombia there is a program that the colombians would ride their bike skate or take the bus and there would be less traffic jams. That is a very good idea because no one likes to be stuck in traffic especially if your in a hurry to get to work or even school. Traffic jams occur because of so many cars on the road. There is a thing called Rush hour and that is when everyone is leaving their work or school and they are going home and that is when everyone is on the road and thats when their is the most traffic. But it would be much easier if you would just bike or walk or take a bus and tried to avoid all of those traffic jams. The program that Bogota, Colombia has created is something that should be done nationwide because it would help so many other countries. Thanks to that programm people would go to the park and do sports and take walks.
Source A talks about the Greenhouse gas and how in Vauban,Germany soccer moms gave up their cars and how the streets were "" Car Free"".

According to this source a person said they are much happier not owning or having a car because when Heidrun Walter, a media trainer and mother had a car she said she was more tense. Apperently this movement was called "" Smart Planning"".
Limiting car usage would be a great benefit to people and a great idea to improve Earth. Pollution like mentioned before is one of the biggest problems we have and in big cities is an evern bigger problem. Traffic jams is something that will be hard to stop because everyone is using cars and will continue to use cars because it seems like thats the fastest way to get to your location but thats not accurate because if people think that way then thats the cause of traffic jams and thats the cause of the Rush hour.

With all the stress and hard things in life we as people like to just take a minute and see what others got to say the relief of multiple opinions going and coming to you, and hearing lots of different people say this and that and the option is good and with all going on it will help the person choose a path and make a real choice for themselves in the future.
The reason why people seek for more information, is to hear what everyone has to say in mind about it. This gives that person a opportunity to just sit down and think on what is the best choice for them. Talking with Friends, strangers, and even family seeking lots of information and talking them up is a good way of deciding on whats the best. Today lots kids and grownups have a hard like on deciding, and seeking. With just asking for different opinions is whats going to help you in life. By asking more providing and knowledge will come to you. Life is filled with crazy and wild things that some people just cant control, by sitting down and just talk to someone or even more people and for them telling you your chance of what path to choice will be more advanced. More the opinions the better choice you are positive to make. going to counselor and asking your parents, coworkers or even classmates a better option is in each mind the more you think about the better the opinions will get. The better the choices just by talking to others and seeking make opinions in a good way of coming to make a better choice.
How it helps by making a better choice, with all the opinions you have theres a choice is that. What you say and get back with positive opinions there will always be a positive action in your choice. Opinions by the ones you love the better the choice will be. It will help you to know that there are different opinions that you can came and think on what the right one for you. By seeking advice from positive people your chances is very clever on what choice you make. But not everyone has a positive action in them. With multiple opinions not all will be positive there might be lots of negative energy going throw there head and what you choice on. Right or wrong, Positive or negative actions at the end of the day thats still your decision on what to do, there just giving out there opinion for you. The better and positive the action the better the choice is for you. With all to be said is that asking for more is not bad its a great ways of making a conclusion and thing on what is the best choice for you in life.

51C198B6E6A9,"Texting While Driving
Texting while driving is not good. Some people text their friends while driving and some people text for work on the road. Other people text while driving to save time.
More people have phones now and they are using them constantly. That means that texting while driving has also increased. Texting while driving should be against the law because it is causing more injuries and deaths than before cell phones were invented.
Texting while driving is dangerous. Texting while driving is one of the main causes of traffic accidents on the road. Studies have shown that cell phone texting is the cause of 1.6 million crashes every year, with 330,000 people injured in them ( tellrobert). There are probably thousands more accidents that are not reported because many drivers hide this information from the police. Injuries are not the only problem. Many people are dying because of texting while driving too. One study found that in 2016, 3,450 deaths were a result of texting while driving and is the leading preventable cause of death among teenagers now (Christopher ). The number of injuries and deaths alone is enough reason texting while driving should be against the law.
Surprisingly, there are still people out there texting and driving. These people believe that they are responsible enough to avoid wrecks and crashes (debate). Others think that since they are Americans they should be able to have the freedom to choose (debate). They think that they are above the rules . It is unfortunate that these people still text and drive when the consequences are so high.
Texting while driving has proven to be dangerous for everyone. The people who do it think they are bigger and better than other people. But why should their rights be more important than the rights of other people on the road? Shouldn't the other people on the road have the right to be protected, too? Is a text more important than a life?

When this picture was later given to the public to see it became a pop icon in a hollywood film, book, magazines, and radio talk shows too. people belive that it is a sign of life on mars and that NASA would rather hide conspiracy theorists, but really if there was life on mars NASA wouldnt hide it they would be getting funding money for a mission to futher investigate. Then on
April 5, 1998 a mars orbiter flew over cydonia capturing a sharper image of the landform it showed a martian mesa with shadows that made it look like a face as NASA said. Yet people were not happy they said it was cloudy on the red plant and that the camera had to take the picture thought clouds and could of missed alien life. So NASA then fleew over the landform one for time on cloudless day at the red plant and took anouther picture it showed the same thing as the second picture.

C290EA8C6F2D,"I agree with policy number one, that a student should be allowed to bring cell phones to school and use them during lunch periods and other free times, as long as it's off during class. Here are some reasons why.
The main reason i think this is the better choice is because, if you walk home and something happens you will need to me able to contact someone. If you weren't allowed to have phones on the compos then you wouldn't have your phone on the walk home. Also, if your walking alone you might want to call someone and talk to them while your walking home, just to make it less scary.
Another thing is, what if a family member is really sick and you want to be updated on how he or she is doing. If one of my family members were ill or hurt i would want to know what was going on every chance i could. That way if we could have out phones during lunch and other free times then you could ask your parents about them then. Instead of trying to sneak it during class and have the risk of getting it taken away. That brings me to my last reason.
The last thing i have to say about this is if we did get to have them out only at certain parts of the day no one would ever get caught or be worrying about it during class because they know that there will be time for them to look at it later on during the day. Plus, if you say that students aren't allowed to have there phones at all, that will just make them want to bring them even more.",,286,Cell phones at school,Independent,"Your principal is reconsidering the school's cell phone policy.

F52B9A0882BB,"When people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person. Seeking for multiple opinions can help someone make better choices, for they can tell you what they did wrong, see their point of view, and learn what to do.
To begin with, they can tell you what they did wrong, so you will not do the same thing. If the person wants to do something good they would ask people for advice so they will not do it wrong. They would tell them what they did wrong, so that he or she will do it right. For example, one day Generic_Name went to his friends what not to do at his wedding his friends started telling what not to do, so he did as they said and his wedding went perfect.
Also, you can see their point of view. When someone is asking more than one person, because some people do it differently than others. Not everyone look at something the same way others do the have different points of view. They ask multiple people, so the can have an idea of what to do and what not to do. For example, Generic_Name went to ask his friends for advice but all of them had different story's but they had something's in common so that gave him an idea of what to do and what not to do.
In addition, you will learn what to do. When you ask more than one person it can help you make better choice's in life. When someone is seeking for multiple opinion its because they want to make better choices, so when they tell you what not to do and look at their point of view they are helping you make better choices so you don't do something wrong. On the contrary, some people think seeking multiple opinions cannot help someone make better choices, because some people can give you bad advice and can get you into big trouble.

He also list so of th dangers that are there for people and how it could effect them if they traveled to this planet. Like how 97% of the planets atomsphere in carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid.
One reason that the author gives NASA has a possible solution to the hostile conditions. The author says "" Imagine a blimp-like vehical hovering 30 or some miles above the roiling Venusian landscape"". Like the Jet airplanes today it would travel at high altitude to fly over the dangerous air conditions. But every 30 mile above the temperatureis still a toasty 170 degrees Fahrenheit.
Another reason that the author gives is NASA is working on other way to study Venus. The author says ""Some simlified electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of Venus's surface and have lasted for three weeks in such conditions"". Would the machine give workers the time they needed to study the thing the need.

09CB71A747DF,"To whom it may concern, I have recently been enlightened on what Electoral College is all about. According to ""What Is the Electoral college?"" Electoral college is a compromise between election of the president by a vote in congress and the election of the president by a popular vote of qualified citizens. It consists of the selection of the electors, the meeting of the electors where they vote for President and Vice President, and the counting of the electoral votes by Congress. As quoted also from ""What Is the Electoral College?"" by the Office of the Federal Register.
First of all, the Electoral College should be kept because no, one region has the ability to elect a president. A certain region can gather all it's people to favorite one of the candidates, but it still won't be enough to reach a biased conclusion in the final election. The candidates also cannot count on one of their favorite states or rven regions for them to win because, with only regional or state appeal, it will become unlikely for them to be a successful president.
In addition, having The Electoral College will ensure that the larger states can't overrule the smaller state based on population. It balances the weight of more populated states to smaller populated states. This is good because now, the smaller populated states will feel that they actually have power in the Election process instead of feeling left out due to a larger population. This is also significant because now the candidates won't aim their campaigning only towards the higher populated states. They will go all around the country trying to emphasize their importance in winning the campaign.
In conclusion, the obvious solution here is to keep using the Electoral College process. It not only ensures that one state or region does not have enough votes alone to sway the election, it allows the smaller populated states to have just as big of a say in the election as the larger states. The procedure of using The Electoral college has been around for quite a while now and it's clear why. It is the most beneficial way of ensuring that the right candidate will get into office, based off of the right terms.

F73ADEA6A74B,"To the principal:
I think it is a brilliant idea for us the students, to take on a opportunity to help out by doing community service. I think it is brilliant because it would be like a win-win situation where it benefits both the community and us. If everybody gets a chance to help out the community I think we should take it! It would be great doing something to give back to our community seeing that not many people are interested in helping out. Not only will the environment become a safer place to live in but, it will also become a healthier place. What would happen if after a while no one took care of our community? For an example It's like taking care of your room, what if one day you decided not to put things in there proper places and just threw things anywhere and left it untidy? It might begin to smell, or you might even discover things missing. So taking care of our community is like taking care of own self. Doing this could be a really good deed, giving back to the community to make it a healthier place.

First reason is because it can see if your happy surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness. This can help students to be more kind to their friends because they know how that person is feeling.

32174EBD625E,"I do not belive that the electoral college should be kept as our country's voting system. The electoral college is unfair to the people, outdated and is no longer a rational method to choose our president.
The first reason That I believe the electoral college should be abolished is because we do not get to directly vote for the president ourselves. The people currently vote not for the president himself, but for a state of electors who will vote for you. The voters can not always control who our electors vote for, so in some cases, our votes may not even be contributing to the election at all. There could even be a possibilty of the candidate winning only by the majority of electoral votes. The popular vote could be completely disreguarded.
Furthermore, I do not believe that the electoral college should be our voting system because of swing states. Most of the time, candidates will spend a large portion of their time in states that will have the best effect on their outcome. Others are disreguarded and will most likely be less motivated to vote.
Finally, the electoral college should be aboliashed because of the discouaragement of minority voters. If a republican were to live in a mainly democratic state, he or she may be not be motivated to go and vote because they would feel as if thier vote does not count.

C06F12B6FC3F,"Summer can be an issue when it comes to students' abilities of retaining knowledge from the prior school year. Summer assignments are designed to help students sharpen their learning skills over the summer in order to help them thrive in the coming academic school year. One question to consider is whether these summer assignments would be more beneficial if designed by students rather than teachers, or if they should be designed by teachers rather than students. Although some argue that these assignments should be designed by students, teacher-designed assignments would be more beneficial as they would introduce the skills needed to be successful, incorporate curriculum to help students have an understanding of the course before school starts, and ensure that students are correctly preparing themselves for school.
When designing summer assignments, it is important that skills such as reading comprehension, argumentative writing, and creative thinking are reintroduced to help students refresh their memory on how to perform certain tasks to the best of their abilities. Teachers would be able to introduce those skills in the best possible ways, as they are the ones teaching the course and have a better understanding of the skills needed to be successful in the class. If students were to design the summer assignments, their own thoughts on the skills they think they need for the course are not as reliable as the teachers beliefs. Therefore, they would not be enhancing the skills they need for the course, which would make it harder to be successful in the class from the start. Teachers also have much more experience in establishing ways to improve upon these skills. Teacher-designed summer assignments would be the most reliable when it comes to specific ways of introducing skills needed in order to excel because teachers understand the qualities needed to advance in the curriculum.
Also, teacher-designed summer assignments would be the best to ensure that students can obtain prior knowledge of what the course they are going to take will include. Teachers would already have experience on the curriculum and know exactly what to include when designing the task. Students are blind to specific learning standards of the course, therefore, they would not know what to include in order to help them establish background knowledge on the subject. The best way to start off a class is with a general understanding of the purpose of the course and some knowledge on the curriculum. Teachers would be able to include that into the summer assignment to ensure that students can start off the year with a good understanding, which would help them be more likely to succeed. A teacher-designed summer assignment is much more beneficial than a student-designed assignment because teachers would already have examined the curriculum to ensure that students understand the subject before the academic school year begins.
A counter to the prior arguments is that some believe a student-designed summer assignment would be more beneficial than a teacher-designed assignment. If students were able to design their own summer tasks, they would be able to include their own creative aspect to learning and retouching on their skills. Teachers would be able to see the qualities and capabilities of each individual student to help them have an understanding of their strengths and weaknesses. However, although it is good that students can add their own creativity to the task, it does not ensure that students are correctly preparing themselves for the coming year. A student-designed assignment may not include all the necessary learning standards needed for a course such as ways to enhance skills and background knowledge on the curriculum. Therefore, student-designed summer assignments are not even close to the benefits a students would receive from being given a teacher-designed summer assignment.
Teacher-designed summer assignments are best to ensure that students continue learning to the best of their abilities. They would be able to retouch and improve upon certain skills, have a general understanding of the course, and be certain that they are properly preparing themselves for the coming school year. This coming summer, students should rely on a teacher-designed summer assignment to ensure that students can be the best academic scholars they can be in order to have a successful school year.

459F27598FA9,"Dear Principal,
I heard you were thinking about changing the policy's for athletes to play sports. I think its a good idea that you make all the athletes get a B or higher on there report card. The reason I think its a good idea is because school is generated to get kids into college so they can get good jobs but if they have a C in 3 subjects there passing but barley passing and they may not get into college. If they have a B or A in every subject they are more likely to go to college. Another reason why I agree is because athletes think that they can slack off if they have a C then its distracting to other students that are trying to concentrate on there work because the athletes will just talk and yell out in class. Are school may go down in players for sports but eventually they will learn that they cant just slack off in class they actually got to try and get good grades to play. I think this may have more an affect on the people who start in games because they want to play more then the rest of the team and they don't want to lose there starting spot because its hard to get back once you lose it. This policy will probably work better if you get the parents involved with it because most athletes have a parent that wants them to play and they will be very mad if they cant play just because they slacked off in class they will probably get grounded in till there grades come up to were they can play again. That is why I think are principal should set this policy for are school. Thank you for reading this and I hope you consider making this policy.

706F6F7F5612,"Dear Mr. Senator,
What is the Electoral College? Can voters control whom their electors vote for? Not always. The Electoral College is an unfair, outdated, and irrational process. Although many believe it is a necessity for choosing a president, it is not. I believe the process of choosing a president should be changed to the election by popular vote in the United States.
First, what is the Electoral College? In the passage ""What Is the Electoral
College"" it says, ""It is a process by which the founding fathers established in the Constitution as a compromise between election of the President by a vote in Congress and election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens. The presidential election is held every four years on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November. You help choose your state's electors when you vote for your President because when you vote for your canidate you are actually voting for your canidates electors."" But, little did the fouding fathers know it is not really a compromise. The Electoral College is composed of 538 electors. Some of them unfair ones too. A majority of 270 electoral votes is required to elect the President. In source 2 it says, ""The presidential election is held every four years on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November. You help choose your state's electors when you vote for your President because when you vote for you r canidate you are actually voting for your canidates electors.""
Second, the Electoral College is not a place, it is a process, an unfair, outdated, and irrational process. According to the passage ""The Indefensible Electoral College"" it states how, ""Under the Electoral College system, voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors who in turn elect the president."" Do you think that is fair? This process is confusing and it should be abomished. Due to the Electoral College many people get confused and sometimes vote for the wrong canidate. In the source ""The Indefensible Electoral College"" it says, "" 'Faithless' electors have occasionally refused to vote for their party's canidate and cast a deciding vote for whomever they please."" That is unfair, and irrational. People should be able to have a choice, although they let you feel like you're doing something by voting, you actually are not doing much. The Electoral College gets the last word.
Third, some argue that the Electoral College has good intentions, they support their claims with ideas stated in the passage ""In Defense of the Electoral College"" some such as ""The Electoral College restores some of the weight in the political balance to large states, the Electoral College requires a presidential canidate to have transregional appeal, or the Electoral College avoids the problem of elections in which no canidate recieves a majority of the votes cast."" Although these reasons may be valid, they're not enough to pursuade thousands of U.S citizens that the Electoral College should not be abolished.
Cat got your tongue? In conclusion, as you can see the Electoral College is not always the best way to choose a president, it is unfair, it is outdated since the founding fathers had set it up, and it is irrational. the Electoral College should be replaced with the process of popular vote.

7B000D776D89,"why should i take your advice when you won't take mine. When people ask for advice some time's it better, they ask more than one person as suppose to one person. my question is why is it better to have more than one advice from other as suppose to one person. My first advice is asking advice from people isn't bad because you can ask the people close to you they. second you can whether or not you want there help because it's your choice. My last advice is that you can ask as many people as you want. when asking for an advice make sure you get both side of the argument,
When asking for an advice from people you want to ask you'r self know it's not bad but as long as you ,can you trust them or not. Be careful making that decision because some people could be jelouse of you. They might have wanted to have the same role in the play that you got. Your stuck on whether to join the play or stay with you family and help them out. they might take advantage of you'r distress ,and offer you advice that could stress you out more. They might say that if you go join the play how will your family feel. How would it feel of they left you think about that .they could also say how will they get by if your not around what will you do ,and start to make you have negative thoughts about your self ,and more they would have put more pressure on they decision your about to make . But as to when you ask some one you trust ,and you know that even if they wanted the same role as you they would give you they best advice. They could tell you that if you go you can make more money and help out more as to if you were here they would spend more money on you because they town doesn't have high paying jobs. they might tell you not to go and say that if you went and didn't make it big and came back home will you be able to help them ,or what if you went to a dangerous place and you got harmed your family would be in more dept because ,they will have to pay for your hospital bills. with there advice you could be able to make you'r decision
My second advice is whether you want there help or not. The reason why am saying this is because if you want there help but you think you can make the decision your self when it can impact you. What i am about to tell you is from my experience, when i was picking my courses for middle school course I was debating whether I should ask my family for help. I decided not to and it cost me because when i was picking my classes i picked all A.A.P's thinking I knew what I could do . on the first day of class the teacher gave us a quiz on pythageron theorem ,and I thought that it was easy ,but i kept answering trying to solve the question i couldn't solve it I was freaked I didn't know what to do so i guessed and turned it in. When I got the test back i got 75% instead of dropping out the class, I kept on staying in the class after a while of failing my family told me to drop out ,but i didn't and i failed the class.
My third advice is ask as many people as you want, as my grand farther used to say ask as may people you need to ask before it final. what am trying to say is that is you are unsure of your self or other's you can ask as many people as you need and figure out what you want to do. When i was in 5th grade, and wanted advice i would ask five people, but i was all ways unsure. So i would ask more people for their views ,and idea's because i asked them i was more sure of what i wanted to do. So what ever you do maybe ask for help many people have different views just make sure when you ask people you know you asked as many people as you want when asking for an advice make sure you get both side of the argument, because just cause you like on side because you have all of your favorite people on it doesn't mean you have to look there way. when asking people for their advice you have to make sure you can reason with them ,and the and see things from their prospective. always look both ways because you can always miss some thing because when i was a 3 grade I would always let my ball roll down hill in our back yard.
one day it rolled onto the road i ran to get it ,and if I hadn't looked left and right I would have die because a car was coming a top speed.
in conclusion what am trying to say is by this is when asking for advice you should talk to more than one person,after all 2 heads are better than one because al am saying is asking advice from people isn't bad because you can ask the people close to you they. you can chose whether or not you want there help because it's your choice. And third is that you can ask as many people as you want. and last you can always have more than one view because you never know when you might need to take this advice to hearth ",,958,Seeking multiple opinions,Independent,"When people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person.

You probably have on its been starred in a Hollywood film, appeared in books, magazinesw, radio talk shows, even in grocery store checkouts lines for 25 years! NASA is researching this closely. The Face is just a natural landform because how would aliens make a face in the middle of Mars? Why would they? In Mars there's all sort of natural landforms so who knows?
How would aliens make a face in Mars? Why? I don't know either its kind of seems impossible. Aliens might have step on it to make it look like a Face but they would have made it on purpose. To me it does look like an Egyptian Pharaoh but back then they were barely finding out what Mars was or didn't even know about Mars. On April 5, 1998 the Mars Global Surveyor flew over to Cydonia they took pictures then times sharper than the original pictures, then when the image first appeared on a JPL website, revealing it was a natural landform. There was no alien manument after all.
In Mars theres all sort of natural landforms created by Mars weather that makes landforms look cool and interesting. When NASA send viking 1 it was circling the planet getting phtos of possible landing sites for its sister ship Viking 2, when it spotted the shadowy likeness of a human face. Thats when NASA started reseaching it. In April 5, 1998, it was proven that it was just natural landform. Through the years the face starts cracking and fading away because of the weather. The weather of Mars is usually unpredictable, but usually cold. Also the wind in Mars is pretty commen and it makes the land look like a lot of weird things!
So Mars makes all type of natural landforms and why would aliens make a face in Mars? How? I dont know either.

Vauban is making their city safer because people are free to walk around without the worry that a car will drive by and hit them.

46A92C87B030,"Summer projects are required in some schools so that students can keep learning over their break. I believe these said projects should be designed by the students and not by their teachers. One reason is students should be able to learn what they want. Another reason is the students will most-likely make their project shorter to complete which means more time to enjoy summer break.
Whenever you have a project it's always more exhaustive to complete when you are not passionate about the subject. When you are able to pick and choose the topic of what you learn though, you get inspired and are excited to do the project. I think that it is pertinent for students to have a strong passion for their work, it makes it far more enjoyable to do. For example, in my middle school, I was able to design my own project over the summer, and for the first time I actually had fun working, unlike my teacher made projects. It is highly necessary for the youth to learn attributes and skills they are personally interested in so when they get a job they know what their doing and are not filled with useless knowledge they don't need.
I also think that having a break is warranted if you are working hard, it helps rejuvenate and recollect yourself. Students need breaks and giving them an unnecessarily long project to do over their vacation takes that away from them. Families are also busy over break with traveling and seeing family members. Most of the time students lack the time to really put their best effort into their work. If you let students decide their workload and limit they will have a favorably less stressful summer vacation, giving them the rightful break they deserve.
I strongly believe that all schools that require a summer project should let their students decide what they want to accommodate their knowledge with not the teachers. Still, on the other hand, people might want teachers to create the projects, but students don't usually learn anything valuable to their selves if they aren't interested in the subject. So in conclusion, students should be permitted to mold their own summer break projects.

Paris banned people from driving there cars , up to 4,000 people were fined , so most of everybody car was impounded. to me there losing money because the amount of people that buy gas for there cars if you think about it thats a big lost how many people in paris drive cars theres going to be a big percentage of the money gone due to this car ending madness. some deleivery places couldnt even have cars so its messing up their money too.
Car Free Day I find strange because no one can drive . its too many people in the world everyone if not going to fit on the busses they have , due to this tragic people have to now walk where they have to go. If you dont have a bike or skateboard then your out of luck so since this happened no one really got where they needed to be. I think even people had to miss work for this , also the kids . how would they get to school ? to me banning cars would be the dumbest idea anyone ever made up. this world would come to a end without cars.
In America people in driving population goes up by the hour , like when you travel you go more miles than you think you do. most people in America have stopped driving and start travling by bus. with all these changes, people who stopped car commuting as a result they may find less reason to resume the habit.

F566EA761D0E,"Dear Principal,
Wanting to help your community is a great thing to want . I believe people who do community service make the world a better place, but I also believe that doing community service should be done by what is in a persons heart to do, not what the principal requires them to do.
For example, my aunt does a free pancake breakfast on one Saturday of every month at the church she attends . She felt it in her heart that she should help out the community and its residents, so she started doing this pancake breakfast. Now if she had been forced to do it, she would probably dread that one Saturday of every month where she would provide a meal for the people of the community. I don't think that community service should be a chore or a requirement.
Another example, my dad has a friend who is a pastor at a little church. Every month they have a food bank where people who cannot afford food can come and take what they need. Again this was not assigned by the church, this was not forced upon him by the city, he wanted to help his community out, which is what I think community service is all about.
I believe community service is an excellent thing, but I think it should be encouraged to do, not forced. I hope you take this int

02F01A6790C1,"""The Challenge of Exploring Venus,"" suggests that future indeavors for studying Venus, the 2nd planet from the sun and one of Earth's closest neighbors, is worthwhile because of the possibilities of exploring possible forms of life that may have inhabited Venus long ago.
Geological formations on Venus are also similar to those of Earth and by exploring those formations on Venus we could learn a lot about our home planet.
However, the author does not go beyond these assertions and does not provide ample evidence to support that exploring Venus is fundamentally worthy, the author even counter argues explaining that Venus is, and could be, a dangerous human indeavor; not to mention that it is challenging enough just to get there.
Ultimately, the author does not make a strong enough arguement to support the idea of exploring Venus for the benefit of humanity and of Earth.
The author explains the theory of having a balloon like space station that can protect humans from the deadly environment of Venus's surface in paragraph 5.
This possibility however is countered by the uselessness that the author then explains in paragraph 6 writing, ""peering at Venus from a ship orbiting or hovering safely far above the planet can provide only limited insight on ground conditions.""
It is interesting that the author does not explain that the exploration of Mars, for instance, could be a much safer future indeavor.
In paragraph 2 the author mentions Mars as one of our neighbors but then does not procede to use it in any part of the rest of the article.
By doing so makes it look like he/she intentionally did so for the betterment of his/her own idea.
This article, in the mind of the reader, feels counter intuitive because the author provides more evidence to support the idea that exploring Venus is not worthwhile.
The author explains in paragraph 6, ""More importantly, researchers cannot take samples of rock, gas, or anything else, from a distance.""
In paragraph 3, the author initially explains that the surface of Venus's ""temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet[,]"" these conditions are instantaneously deadly to humans and do not provide an argument that would support exploration of such a deadly environment.
Space exploration agencies like NASA have sent in the past, autonomous landing craft to the surface of Venus; none of which have ""survived the landing for more than a few hours.""
If the best of humanitie's technologies have been unable to conduct any worthwhile field work in the name of science and the only possible solution is to use ""old technology called mechanical computers[,]"" (paragraph 7) then how would such a computer be able to send a message back to Earth?
The author's article about the exploration of Venus is lacking in just about every available aspect of being worthwhile or viable ideas.
The author makes a good argument, but for the opposite idea that he/she is trying to explain.
By not taking into consideration the fact that any form of space exploration is extremely expensive - even more so in accordance with Venus - there is little to no good reason to explore Venus for the sake of humanitie's and/or Earth's betterment.",,532,Exploring Venus,Text dependent,"In ""The Challenge of Exploring Venus,"" the author suggests studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents.

0000D23A521A,"Some people belive that the so called ""face"" on mars was created by life on mars. This is not the case. The face on Mars is a naturally occuring land form called a mesa. It was not created by aliens, and there is no consiracy to hide alien lifeforms on mars. There is no evidence that NASA has found that even suggests that this face was created by aliens.
A mesa is a naturally occuring rock formation, that is found on Mars and Earth. This ""face"" on mars only looks like a face because humans tend to see faces wherever we look, humans are obviously extremely social, which is why our brain is designed to recognize faces.
Many conspiracy theorists believe that NASA is hiding life on Mars from the rest of the world. These people would be very wrong. If NASA found life on Mars, then they would get millions of people's attention. NASA's budget would increase drasticly, which means that their workers would get paid more. There is no good reason that NASA would hide life on Mars from the rest of the world.
So, NASA is not hiding life on Mars from us, and they are not trying to trick us into thinking that the ""face"" on mars is just a mesa, because it actually is.

4DD8BBCE5A0C,"Imagine getting told you are required to do a summer project for school but you have to come up with the whole project by yourself. Some schools require students to do summer projects to make sure they keep learning all summer. Some schools would also like to know if the projects should be teacher-designed or student-designed. Although it would be easier on students, the projects should be teacher-designed. Schools that require students to do summer projects should be teacher designed because there would be less stress for students, the projects would be easier to grade, and it would most likely be less work for teachers throughout the summer.
Teacher-designed projects would have less stress on the students. If the students had to come up with the project there would most likely be a lot of missing projects. Most high school students have jobs and sports in the summer which would make having a summer project hard. Jobs and school is hard at the same time so having a teacher at least give you and idea would take stress away. Students having to come up with the project would also be a lot harder for the teacher to grade.
Teacher-designed projects would also be easier to grade. If the teacher has the idea already ready for the student then she knows what to expect. She would also know the requirements and it would be easier to give a grade. Grading is very time consuming so things to make that easier for them is probably appreciated. The teacher knowing what kind of projects she will have to grade when school starts again will be a lot less stressful for her when grading starts.
Teacher-designed projects would also be a lot less work for the teacher. Yes, the teachers have to come up with a lot of different ideas for the students. However, it will be a lot less work throughout the summer. Some students might have a lot of questions about how to do the project or ask for help. To the teacher that might be frustrating in her break from school. Teachers like there school break just as much as students.

This could help us in many ways as to avoid miscommunicatiom often seen in classrooms and help teachers understand their students better. Let me show my thought process on why this new technology should be used in schools.
As said in the passage ""Most human communication is nonverbal, ,including emotional communcation."" This shows that having another source to either confirm or challenge your preception of what a student is feeling can help when dealing with situations that need clear communication. Many problems occur through miscommunication and this new technology can help us disyper what a student is feeling. This will allow for us to create a better atmoshpere in which students will feel understood and supported.
While people may say this could be an intrustion of their privacy as many students don't want people to know thier feelings and may feel exposed and as if they wouldn't have any privacy. "" We humans perform this same impressive ""calculation"" everyday"" this new technolgy is only helping us prove what we may already know as we can tell by looking at a face what feeling they're most likley feeling. Studies have shown that adults and teenagers use differnt parts of the brain to figure out what a person is feeling and casues huge miscommunication as they both may precieve a different emotion on eachothers face.

1D5959F82AF5,"Do you like driving? If you do you may want to look into some of these new driving restrictions. In places like Germany, Paris, Bogota, and even in the United States people are driving a lot less. In other countries driving is partially banned. For instance in Bogota driving was banned for one day. Many said it was a relaxation and even a stress reliever.
Driving you car less can help many things in multiple ways, such as the environment or even people. The more we drive the more we hurt the environment. Places like Vauban, Germany have expensive parking spaces and if you want to drive then you must buy the parking space that cost $40,000. These spaces are at the edge of the city and you must walk home if you must have a car.
In the United States we have been buying less cars ever since 2005. In 2005 we hit our driving peak when we had sold most cars and were driving the most. Now that we are in 2015 less people are even getting their license. ""As of April 2013, the number of miles driven per person was nearly 9 percent below the peak."" Sociologists believe it will have beneficial implications for carbon emissions and the environment. ""A recent study found that driving by young people has decreased 23 percent between 2001 and 2009.""
In Paris they banned drivng due to smog. They had near-record pollution, so they decided to ban driving. This was only a partial ban but it still had a big impact. ""On monday motorists with even-numbered license plates were ordered to leave their cars at home or suffer a 22-euro fine."" Then the same would apply to odd-numbered plates the next day. Congestion was down 60 percent after five days of starting this partial ban.

The only way it could have been created is by natural landform that happen way longer than when they dicovered the face. In paragraph 7 it says ""Revealing... a natural landform. There was no alien minument after all"". That states that there was no aliens involved with the face. What would aliens use to make the face in the rocks?
Scientists say that in paragraph 12 ""What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa-- landforms common around the American West"". So this means that it doesn't really have any evidence that aliens made it. This just means that it very well could be just natural landform creating things.

Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Bob Dole, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and the AFL-CIO all agreed on one thing, and it was abolishing the Electoral College. Another reason being, under the Electoral College System, voters vote for a slate of electors, not the president and in return they select the president. Last but not least, the Electoral College is unfair to voters.
Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Bob Dole, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and the AFL-CIO all agreed on one thing, and it was aboloshing the Electoral College. This was also agreed upon by many other citizens. According to a Gallup Poll in 2000, which was taken shortly after Al Gore won the popular vote, but lost the popular vote. According to the poll ""over 60 percent of voters would prefer a direct election not the kind we have now."" It is said that ""this year voters are to expect another close election in which the popular vote winner could again loose the presidency.""
Under the Electoral College System, voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who in return elect the president. Because of this there are so many questions asked that are answered very broadly due to the fact you do not really know the correct answer. For instace, who are the electors? They can be anyone not holding the public office. Who picks the electors in the first place? It depends on the state. Sometimes state conventions, Sometimes the State Party's central comittee, and sometimes the presidential canidates themselves.
Man oh man is the Electoral College unfair to voters! This may be an opinion, but it is on of many citizens who are all in agreement of it."" All of the ""winner-takes-all"" systems in each state, canidates do not spend time in each states they know they have no chance of winning, focusing only on the tight races in the ""swing"" states."" In fact in the 2000 campaing there were seventeen states the did not see the canidates at all and it was said that voters in 25 of the largest media markets did not even get to see a single campaign ad. "" if anyone has a good arguement for putting he fate of the presidency in the hands of a few swing voters in ohio, they have yet to make it....""

Many students do not want to show their emotional expression. I know people that like to hide all emotions and some like tho show their emotions even being happy, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness. They also do not want to show emotions because they are scared of what people will say or do. And they just do not want people to worry about them.
Another reason why this is not a good idea is if students do this and people see what they are feeling they may or may not try to get that person to talk to them why they are feeling that way. I know from personal experinces why people do not want to talk about their feeling is that they do not know how to talk about how they are feeling or they just dont want to talk about them.
Thrid reason why this is not a good idea is that some students may not want to do it at all ot not conitable about doing it.

I am writing this letter to you about if students at SCHOOL_NAME should be require to do Community Service or not. While some students already have community hours and some don't, I think that we should be required to have community service hours. Some many say It takes up my time, or i don't have time to do anything for the community, but i think that that's just a excuse. If all students in the school had at least two hours of community service i think that our community would be a little better. While some kids already have done things for the community like volunteer at schools, fire stations, neighbors or just cleaning up the trash around your neighborhood, others think that
Most people don't care about how there neighbor hood is or about the community, what is more important is that it helps others out and that's what community service is all about. I do think that we should be required to have community service hours, if its only one hour or two hours of service at least.
I also think that it would be a great idea at our school if we make a group of students and get together twice a week and go clean up around the school or around the neighborhood. Most schools are not IB schools like our school is, but being a IB school i think we should be required IB (community service) hours.

322B33C931CA,"Advice has been used for thousands of years but, we can never settle for one answer, why is that? many people couldn't base their answer on what one person thinks in order to form a more perfect choice. Think about it, how many times have you ordered something online and read the reviews? And how many times did you read more than one of those reviews? Because you want to get the best deal you get the advice from more than one person. It would be impossible to function otherwise, you wouldn't get many products online, a lot of food that people convinced you to eat, you wouldn't have eaten and, hobbies such as drawing and skating would be completely off the table without you forming that intrest on your own. And that doesn't happen offen, when was the last time you got a hobby without watching youtube first, or talking to friends or family. And even when you form that intrest, do you only ask one person? The point of asking more than one person is to create better desicions based on what they say, then, you can take one idea from one person and combine it with your ideas and other peoples ideas and make the best choice. This especially comes out when making life changing choices like medication changes or buying a new house. Wouldn't it be irresponsible to buy a house without consulting your wife, mom, or even your kids? big choices like that have to be talked about with other people, like friends and family. Because if they're not then the choice may be bad or unneccesary.
In conclusion, multi-person advice is neccesary to bring new ideas into the world, and help calm you when you need to make a big decision. Without them so many people wouldn't know they loved activities, I love art and skating, but I wouldn't have known that without consulting friends, family and the internet first. The advice of others is what leads our country and many others in the right direction. For example congress helps to give advice to the judicial and executive branches. Finally, in the real conclusion, the reason multi-person advice is so important, is so that we can make choices and have a higher chance of succeeding.",,380,Seeking multiple opinions,Independent,"When people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person.

B1EF45488EA7,"Why do people ask more than one person for advice?
Well I am here to tell you why so many people ask more than one person. There are four main reasons, One is Someone may know the person you talking about and knows how to help, Two if the people you talk to say the same thing or similar use that one to solve your problem, And last but not least it shows you care for that person. Alright now im going to tell you how all of these implie to a person asking more than one friend to help with a problem.
Someone may know the person your talking about and knows how to help .
If you ask a friend who knows there person your talking about then your more likely to know how to fix what happend. If they trust the person your asking that person would tell you what you should do, wether its giving them some space or being there for them and making sure there ok. Another good reason is its showing that you tust these people enough to give you a good awnser to help.
If the people you talk to say the same thing or similar use that one or sum up what they said to solve your problem.
One thing a lot of people dont understand is that if you get the same awnser or a similar one from more than one person you think well they must be lieing or theres no way thats the right way, But a lot of the time it is and you either hurt the person your trying to make up with more or your making there friends mad because you didnt listen to what they had to say. Rember your trying to help so take there advice espcially if they known the person longer.
It shows you care for that one person.
If you go asking more than one person it shows them that you care about the person you messed up with and are trying to fix what happended between you guys. Friends love seeing someone worry about there friend who was hurt or upset, they love knowing you feel bad for what you did and love seeing that your putting in effort to make up the wrongs that occured. Friends are supposed to look out for friends and your obviously looking out for them when you ask more than one person.
Now lets put everything together . Ok ok I know what your thinking "" What if they care to much and become over protective?"" well I have that awnser, Tell them you need space and if they dont listen try to ignor them and be with the people who love you and care about you. Well U think we all get the point of this essay and its to awnser why do peolpe ask more than one person and well it vairys but this is normal.

63FD0F019B15,"Driverless cars should not be something that is utilized this early on in time. Driverless cars could be a high advancement in autonomous technology, however, the safety risks and other such cons outweigh the benefits. These vehicles do not have the evidence to support that they would definitely be one hundred percent safe when driving out and about the actual roads of life. Granted that Google does have test runs that have occured on controlled courses, but these can be very very different from actual public streets. Driverless cars put our own people at risk solely because some would like to be lazy and not have to drive themelves.
Driverless cars pose a large threat to the general populace. These autonomous vehicles could potentially take hundreds of lives a year; possibly thousands. Although there may be some good things about switching to autonomous cars, there are many more bad. These cars are robotic, and not human operated. The human brain has a very efficient way of knowing when something is unsafe, and preventing that from happening. These cars couldn't notice if there were road traffic ahead, and if they were to continue driving, it could cause an accident. The same scenario goes for if there were someone walking across the road, a pedestrian.
The idea of putting a camera into this car to watch the driver is ludicrous. Privacy is a very big deal these days, and there aren't many who'd sacrifice that for anything. The fact that the driver would be continually watched whhile in the car would turn many people away instantly. Judging by the risks involved in this vehicle, it may take a lot to get it approved, and if nothing else, you should try to have the people on your side.
Another issue of these unmanned vehicles is the limit of travel. What if somebody were wanting to go on a road trip? These vehicles surely only have a specific operating range, judging by the fact that they were said to be put in place of a taxi service.

2EB9ED6FD3AB,"Phones & Driving
In my honest opinion about phone's and driving they do not go together at because both you have to use full attention on when using especially with how things are now and days. It's really dangerous when doing it driving a car because cars are this big built mobile that if you get into a crash and risk your life and or money for insurance on it. Now I think you could balance it between Phone and driving if your good at that like at a red light maybe take a quick glance and it see what it is and then back to driving or get a car that can pick up phone calls.
Now with phones people are so attracted to phones now they can't even walk straight without bumping into people now is it bad to use phones no I don't think it is but when driving is a different story you are putting your life a risk with using a phone. You are putting other peoples life's at risk with doing that too.
When it comes to cars you need your full attention when driving a car everything needs to be sharp because there is dangerous things everywhere so you need to be aware of that when driving so that nothing bad happens. You can't do that when you're on a phone because you're taking away your senses from driving.
I don't think it is a good idea at all to do it unless you know what you're doing and have a car that can pick up phone calls and does not take your time away from driving on the road and therefore can keep you safe and everyone else around and get to your destination safely.

7788EA043A3B,"Limiting car usage can affect our enviroment in so many ways. Although you may have not ever thought about it before, limiting car usage can help not only our enviroment, but ourselves as well. Let's talk about what can happen if we ditch our vehicles.
People in Germany have completely given up their cars for the most part already. Since most of their residents are suburban pioneers, they find almost no point of even owning a car. Here in America we use cars for transportation (for almost everything)! In Germany, many have admitted that owning a car makes them stressd. Heidrun Walter who is a media trainer said, ""I'm much happier this way."" The trend of not owning a car isn't just growing in Europe. Lot's of families from Chicago are abandoning their cars as well.
The city of Paris has banned driving for a good enviromental reason. There has been so much pollution in the city from smog that there was a driving ban to clear the city's air. If anyone is caught driving, they are sent a fine of 22-euro, which is $31 here in the US. Although this may seem like a harsh punishment, it has helped Paris overcome a lot of its smog. The only exceptions when it comes to driving are delivery companies and public transit.
Bogota, Columbia has jumped on the bandwagon along with many other places. This country put a ban on cars to prevent smog as well. There was a huge turnout on their part for doing this. Buisnessman Carlos Arturo Plaza stated, ""It's a good oppurtunity to take away stress and lower air pollution."" Ever since the day where they banned cars for a short period of time, there has been many other new advancements in their society. Parks and sports centers have spread throughout the city, uneven sidewalks have been replaced, rush-hour restrictions have drastically cut traffic, and new restaurants/upscale shopping districts have opened up.
Last, limiting car usage also has a great effect when it comes to getting rid of greenhouse gas emissions. Research has suggested that Americans are now buying fewer cars, fewer licenses, and overall driving less. It seems as many people are starting to open up their eyes and realize all of the long term effects that come with car overusage. Article 4 clearly states that many sociologist believe that if this pattern persist, it will have beneficial implications for carbon emissions and the enviroment. It is said that creating cities in which pedestrian, bicyle, private cars, commercial and public transportation traffic are woven into a connected network to not only save time and conserve resources, but also lower emissions and improve our safety.
All in all, there are many advantages when it comes to limiting car usage. We can help dramatically improve our enviroment and safety. More people should take into consideration about being more conservative when it comes to transportation. We can work around a lot of it by simply walking or riding our bikes short distances rather than wasting a lot of energy with cars.

D7D4F8C7FDFD,"Have you ever thought of taking classes online? Do you think you have good time management and could finish all of your assignments on time? Lastly, do you believe that students who attend online classes at home benefits them? Online classes have become more frequent over the years do due students being home schooled, don't have time during the day to go to school, or because they want to take extra classes; Whatever the reason may be, there are many students who attend online classes but is it benefiting them? I believe that students being able to attend online class won't benefit them because there are more cons than pros to this issue in a student's perspective.
One con is time management; it is a key factor, especially when taking online classes from home. This could be a problem for some students because taking online courses is nothing like taking them at school. The reason why I say that is because that I believe that in school there are teachers that make it their priority to keep students on task and make sure they finish their assignments on time. At home, there may not be someone there to encourage a student to do their school work or even finish it on time. Not having someone to help a student physically can cause the student to slack off. Even giving too many assignments in one day everyday can cause a student to become overwhelmed and not finish their work because of it. Some students have terrible time management skills and if they cannot find the time to put themselves on task, then they can end up failing school which can take a toll on their mental health.
Another reason why I believe online courses do not benefit students is because it can affect their social life. At school students are with each almost everyday, they talk, help each other, and experience all kinds of students with different cultural backgrounds. Meanwhile at home, a student is just on their laptop everyday by themselves. This can cause a student become distant with others, not wanting to leave their house, also not being open minded to other students with differences. It could even cause the student to become uncomfortable around others and become antisocial because they are so use to being by themselves.
Lack of resources in another problem. Some students cannot afford taking online classes; sometimes, students have to pay to take a certain course. They also may not have internet access at home or where ever they may be. Another one would be probably not having a laptop unless a school does provides one. Also, not having a teacher helping you right then and there. Usually, the most common way to communicate a school teacher is through emails. Teachers receive a huge amount of emails daily and some days, they cannot get to everyone and that can become a problem for students, they may become frustrated or stressed. Having lack of resources can make a student slack in school and have no motivation to finish it due to being stressed.
The pros of taking online classes I would say is being at home. A home makes a student comfortable, they don't have to wake up early, and they don't have stay at one place full of people for 6 hours. Another reason can be if a harmful virus spreads in the region the students live. Attending online classes while a crisis is going on in the outside world can be good because they won't become behind in school if they can manage their time wisely. It also benefits their safety and health. My third pro would be if a student needs to support their family or need to support themselves but also want to get their education, they can attend online classes that are flexible.
Even though this issue has its pros and cons. I still stand with my opinion that students that are able to attend online classes is not as beneficial as it should be. A student would need to be very dedicated and have good time management skills. Majority of these cons can affect a student's learning ability, social life, and most importantly, their mental health. For the potential problems of attedning online school, they need to be fixed and need effort from both, the school system and the students.",,720,Distance learning,Independent,Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing.

First of all, one main advantage of limiting car usage is decrease of pollution. In the article 'Paris bans driving due to smog' by Robert Duffer he says ""After days of near-record pollution, Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city."" The pollution had gotten out of control, and had to be decreased. Duffer also states ""Congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of France, after five days of intensifying smog . . ."" As a result of the ban, pollution decreased. Limiting car usage can decrease pollution.
In addition, another main advantage of limiting car usage is less stress. In the passage 'Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota' by Andrew Selsky, Carlos Arturo said ""It's a good oppurtunity to take away stress . . ."" Also in the article 'In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars' by Elisabeth Rosenthal, a media trainer and mother of two says ""When I had a car I was always tense.

Lastly, another main advantage of limiting car usage is the oppurtunity to promote alternative transportation. Selsky continues and says ""The goal is to promote alternative transportation . . ."" The author goes on to say "" The turnout was large, despite gray clouds that dumped occasional rain showers on Bogota"" Their attempt for promotion of alternative transportation was a success, even with violators that faced a $25 fine. Limiting car usage can help the promotion of alternative transportation.

A C average is not bad at all! It's actually the average scored of an A-F grade scoring. So many students do an expected ""good job"" on their grades. It is sometimes hard, or very hard for students to raise one grade level, especially since the school year is half way over, the sports and activities are winding down leaving no time to do so.
In addition, our middle school is very small, so we need all the people we can get on our sports team or activities. Making the cut-off a C average will cut off half of the participants from joining and already on a team or in a school activity!
This will create a difficult problem for coaches, and club leaders to have a small population on their team or in their club.
I have a friend who actually has a C average and is hoping to make the track team for the 3rd year in a row. She is also hoping that high school coaches watch her track meets to get on a team in high school, or even her favorite high school Springstead! If you change the rule she will not be able to participate in her favorite sport, or get into a further more educational and athletic school than her zoned high school Central, averaging a D grade level. Changing this rule can change someone's life.
To end this letter, my argument is to keep the rule of students to have at least a
C average grade to participate in school activities or sports in which many students have. I hope you have acknowledged this letter and change the rule.
Sincerely, 8th grade student; STUDENT_NAME",,313,Grades for extracurricular activities,Independent,"Your principal is considering changing school policy so that students may not participate in sports or other activities unless they have at least a grade B average.

It would not make sense that a face would be on Mars. I belive it is just a landform because it looks like the Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho.
On April 5, 1998 Mars Globel Surveyor flow over Cydonia and took a picture and it was a natural landform. The pectures this time were ten times sharper then the ones from the original Viving picture. There was no alien monument after all. Scientists figured it was just another Martian mesa.
On April 8,2001 Mars Global Surveyor took another picture on a cloudless summer day in Cydonia. Each pixel in the 2001 image spans 1.56 meters, caompared to 43 meters per pixel in the best 1976 Viking photo. With this images if there are any objects there you are going to see it.
What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa. These landforms are common to the ones in the American West. They remind us most of the Middle Burre in the Snake River Plain of Idaho.
I know that the second picture was taken on a cloudy day and it was not all clear. The origanal picure did have a differnt shadow also. There was however, a third picture taken and that was on a clear day and it showed that it was just a lanform. The origanal picture only had 43 meters compared to the one in 2001 that had 1.56 meters.

What are the pro's and cons about making every student do an extracurricular activity? So requiring every student do an extracurricular activity is good if the students want to make new friends or be active, but what if the parents can't pick them up in time or can't find a baby sitter? Extracurricular activities are great for being active and not just sitting around at home watching TV or playing video games. Some students have a hard time making friends or talking to other people their age so if they are around people their age more often they will get more comfortable around them and start having conversations and making new friends. But sometimes the parents can't pick up their child, or the parents will need someone to watch their younger kids because they can't afford a baby sitter so some kids would'nt be able to do an activity.
Homework is an important role too because sometimes we have too much to do within the short period of time from when we get home to when we go to bed. By the time you eat dinner, take a shower and whatever else you need to do you don't have much time for school work, so if you add an extracurricular activity into that you only have a couple hours to do the other things. People should be able to sign up or not sign up for whatever they want. You never know what its like at their house or what they're like, so if they don't sign up for something for whatever reason just let them be.
Most kids already do things outside of school like go to basketball games, play sports, make art, ride bike, play outside, hang out with friends and a lot more things. I like to go to basketball games with my best friend or skateboard, sometimes i try to draw and i take boxing lessons. I am not signed up for any extracurricular activity through the school and i am active.

Using a car to get from point A to point B is getting out of hand and unnecissary. Limiting car usage can help save money, it can also help prevent smog or other pollution, and can make humans live a healthier life style. By limiting car usage, you are changing your life style for the better.
Less car usage can play a major role in the way you live your life. One big part of your life it could change is financial issues. Without a car you wouldnt have to spend thousands of dollars on an overpriced vehical. Also you could save money from not having to buy overly priced gas, or having to fix any car issues, such as an oil leak. In the passage,
Paris bans driving due to smog , the author states,"" Almost 4,000 drivers were fined, according to Reuters."" Without all of your money going down the drain, you could spend your money in a more helpful way. With the money that you don't have to spend with car trouble, someone could by a gym membership, or they could go and renovate their house the way that they have always wanted. Without spending loads of money on a car, gas, and car problems, you could spend your money on more important things such as paying of loans.
Less car usage could also help the envirnment dramtically. Because of the ussage of cars the envinment has been hugely effected. Since the envirnment has been greatly affected, so has the people. Smog has been becoming a result of the pollution that cars cause. In the passage,
Paris bans driving due to smog, they state,""Delivery companies complained of lost revenue, while excepltions were made for plug-in cars."" Not only is pollution affecting the envirnment, but it is also affecting the way that we live our lives, and the way that we make our livings. Without the use of cars income will increse rather than decrease. Also the smog is creating a hazard to everyone who has to work, or go to school. Without the use of cars there will be no more smog, or hazardess envinments to worry about.
Besides money, and pollution, there are other important reasons why less car usage would be ideal. A main point of less car usage would be for health. The world has grown to be lazy, and as a result obesity is becoming a huge issue. Walking to work, or to school can not only help the envirnment, but also help your immune system, and weight loss. Instead of walking, another great form of exercise that will help the envirnment is riding your bike. Using these tips there will be less obesity, and less pollution, and grrenhouse gas in the world.
Even though that driving has decreased 23% in the last 8 years, it is our duty to insure that the world will once again be a safe envirnment for everyone to live in. To insure a safe envirnment, the usage of cars must decrease. If the usage of cars does not decrease our money will. Money won't be the only problem though, obesity, and also smog will increase.

E28D26173387,"Technology in society is constantly innovating and becoming more complex. Over time, different manufacturers have tried to create successful, driverless cars. People have mixed feelings towards this for many reasons including safety and control. However, these people are not thinking about the greater outcomes of what could happen with these innovative cars. Overall, driverless cars would be very beneficial to society and the world.
Driverless cars can open up many new windows for society. Companies like Google are already experimenting with this. Since there is not legislation completely prohibiting the use of semi-autonomous cars in California, Google has taken advantage of this by using their cars to aid them in mapping the world. They have used their driverless cars to help gain more info for Google Maps. Society will gain more information about the surrounding land. This is just one possibility with these new cars.
Along with gaining new information, driverless cars can help people multitask. This is also prevalent with Google Maps. As the car scans and takes pictures of the land around it, the person in the car is able to track down and record the appropriate data. People will be able to do more with driverless cars which is more efficient. This will benefit large companies as they will be able to do more with their time. However, for many this leads to problematic thoughts. People are in fear that these cars will have safety problems and that humans will lose control. In the article ""Driverless Cars Are Coming,"" the author discusses this possible problem thouroughly. There is common misconception that driverless cars will be completely automatic, but this is not the case. Driverless cars are more for assisting rather than they are for driving. The person in the car still needs to remain alert in cases where they might need to take over. This shows that the car does not have complete control.
Another major concern is whether or not these cars are entirely safe. In the article, the author also mentions how the in-car system itself is a safety feature. The article mentions how manufacturers hope to bring in in-car entertainment and information systems that use heads-up displays. Anytime the person needs to take over the car, these displays can be turned off instantly. This is something that is not availables to drivers who are texting while driving. This shows how these driverless cars may even be safer than regular, self-driven cars.
To conclude, one of the greatest reasons that society should move forward with this innovative idea is that this groundbreaking technology can be beneficial in fields outside of automobiles. If engineers can successfully create an automatic car, what else will they be able to produce? More automatic devices could be created with this technology. In this fast-paced world, emptying up time is incredibly beneficial as people will then be able to do greater things. This is something that has been proven to be true since the beginning of time. Innovations such as the printing press, for example, showed this. As technology took over the mundane task of handwriting papers, printers now had more time to complete their own duties. This lead to more efficiency as well as more time for newer innovations. This ultimately helps society as a whole, and this is why driverless cars need to become successful.",,552,Driverless cars,Text dependent,"In the article “Driverless Cars are Coming,” the author presents both positive and negative aspects of driverless cars.

613F7E6BE241,"The dangers of the use of cellphones while driving
The use of a cell phone while operating a vehicle can lead to many dangers and mishaps on the road. A driver should have the main focus of getting to their destination without the distraction of a buzzing cell phone. There are several opinions on this as to when and if a person should use a cellphone while operating a vehicle.
A multitude of drivers on the road have heard that buzz coming from their phone or a ring from one of their friends while having the sudden urge to check it. And although you might feel that you can just read a message instead of responding to it , the screen time can still take precious seconds away from the wheel leaving you in high waters. As well as putting yourself in danger, you risk the lives of other innocent people driving on roads you've made dangerous for them.
The endangerment of the loss of focus from the road jeopardizes not only the people in vehicles but also pedestrians walking the street. The instant need to check a cell phone can be diminished by stashing the phone in a safe compartment area until the driver has reached their destination. By staying attentitative at all times you can cancel out the factor of not having your undivided attention somewhere else.
Consequences of the use of a cellphone while a vehicle is in motion can abruptly harm anyone on the road. In this scenario multitasking of this event should not be permitted and can lead to a drastic damage from being unaware and disconnected from your surroundings. Cell phone usage should be enforced as It will lessen the extremities of car accidents.
All In all cell phones should not be of use during the time a vehicle is moving at any capacity. This can lead to an abundance of harm on roads and in the end cause a consequential amount of damage.

36A126CF8658,"teacher-design Vs. Student-design
Should summer projects be teacher-designed or student-designed?. This is actually a very interesting prompt, in my opion i feel like students should come up with there own summer project ideas because it forces the students to stretch there brain an and do research to complete there summer project, which keeps the brain active because the students have to plan out and do the project.
I feel as tho assigning a summer project that you have to come up with is reasonable for example when i was in elementary school i never wanted to do the big packets of work because i felt like they gave to much work out for it to be a summer break, so i stop doing them but when i was sighed to do the stem science fair i always did them because i like the fact that i could work on something that interest me. Also students tend to want to work on stuff that is self-designed then something the teacher has made for them especially when it comes to a project plus its less stress on the teacher to come up with a projects for the whole class when its 30 student to a class room just let the students come up with it.
Another reason i prefer student design over teacher is because i feel like teachers find boring topics to give us projects on and if students have to do a project on there break they can at least let us pick what our project is based on. I use to think that giving work during the summer didnt make since but as i got older and higher grade in school i realized its only for the benefit of u so Ur brain can stay strong and wont forget that your still in school because not doing anything productive all summer then going back to school is stressful it makes me feel like im in Pre K all over again.
In conclusion im with student-design not just because im a student myself but because it benefits students it helps keep there brain strong while there on break, its interesting to them and students will more likely do this because they picked it then doing what the teacher chose for there project.

234B430EDAEE,"Dear Principal,
If you played on a team wouldn't you want to have good, honest citizens?
Why would you want to play with the people who get bad grades and invariably get in trouble?
I know I wouldn't want to.
To play on a team there should have to be only the people who get good grades.
I believe that if you are on a team that you should have to have good grades and a spectacular record.
One reason why I think people should have to get good grades to be on a team is because that way you only get the dedicated students.
I say that because if they have to get a B- average you better they probably have to work hard to be on the team.
That is a good thing because then they will be dedicated to their team and their school.
Also I think it is like that in college, all the super good athletes in college have to get good grades to play.
If they don't get good grades then they can't play.
It should be like that in middle and high school.
If the athletes want to be on the team they have to get good grades.
A recent study said that if a school has this policy the school's grade point average is 24 percent higher than school without.
That is quite a significant jump up and I think it shouldn't be ignored.
Another reason I think that we should do that is because then you get good all- around citizens.
If they have to get good grades then they are dedicated to their school. Also if the athletes play then they are dedicated to their team.
When or if the school changes that policy, I think we should also add that the athletes have to have a good behavior record.
That way they have to get good grades, be an athlete, and good behavior.
Add that up and you get an all-around good person.
I believe that our school should change that policy to a B- average.
That way they have to be dedicated to their school and their team.

23CE04ED9655,"I believe that all students should not have to participate in one extracurricular activity for three reasons. The first reason being that parents might work very late and not have the time to take there kid to the activity. Secondly the student might already be overwhelmed by school. And lastly the students family might not be able to pay for the activity.
The first and main reason why I believe that students shouldn't is because the parents might not have time to take the student to there activity. Say both of the kids parents have to work late and they have to go to their daily extracurricular activity. How are they supposed to go to it. You might say that they can do the activity later or sooner in the day but, this would not work out because of sleep. Students already have to get up early but with an extracurricular and homework students would have to stay up later causing less sleep. This would make them less productive at school.
Secondly students are all ready busy with school. Making them do an extracurricular would make students more stressed. Students are already busy with school so there would be no need to make them work more. Making students do things that they dont like would take time away from things they enjoy like hanging out with friends or playing video games even playing sports for fun.
Lastly parents might not be able to afford the activity. This would be unfair to students because even if they wanted to they couldn't do any activity. This would put them in a disadvantage with other students with more money. Some sports can be really expensive, first of all you have to pay to get in the the sport, secondly you are going to have to buy some type of gear to play and then other things like if you hurt yourself playing the sport then you are going to have to go to the doctors and pay a bill.

546C0401D25D,"From reading the article, Driverless Cars Are Coming, it is a good idea to have driverless cars. They can really help with the world. It is a great idea to use these new cars because they use less fuel than today's cars, it allows betters response and control than a human, and if there is a problem the car can notify the driver.
Everyday humans use up a lot of gas. The gas that is being use harms the earth and makes it dirty. Using the Driverless car would help the enviorment more in terms of keeping it a clean place to live. In the article it states,"" The cars he foresees would use half the fuel of today's taxis and offer far more flexibility than a bus."" We can save more gas and the enviorment would be cleaner. Everyone wants to live in a clean and healthy enviorment so the driverless car would be a step in the right direction. It will also help with car accidents.
Another way that the smart cars would help out is by causing less accidents. There are far too many car accidents in the world from people who either cannot drive or they dont push the brakes in time. The driverless car controls that. In the article the authors says,""The information from the sensors can cause the car to apply brakes on individual wheels and reduce power from the engine,allowing far better response and control than a human driver could manage alone."" If the driverless car could respond faster than a person than we should have the driverless cars. It would cause less accidents and more people would survive. The driver would still be in control of the car though.
Lastly, another reason there should be driverless cars is beacuse even if some of the stuff cannot be done by the car, the person driving it can do something too. For example lets saythe driver is driving in a work or school zone and they have to slow down, they can do that without the car doing it. In the article it says,""They can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves, but all are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills,such as navigating through work zones and around accidents.""
The driver would not have to let the car do all the work. In some cases the driver is going to have to do something and actually drive. The articles says that the car can run 90% on its own. Therefore the other 10% is the driver. The driver is going to have to stay alert and be ready when problems arise.
The driverless car is a fantastic idea and invention to have. The world needs more cars like them so that the world could be a better and more safe place to drive.

You would hear snapshots all over the place, feeling like you were on the red carpet. Phones must be banned during all times of the school day, even recess and lunch. How unlucky would it be for poor RELATIVE_NAME if pictures of her got around? My principal should not allow phones at all, it can lead to violence, bullying, and distraction.
How would you feel if you were being the number one thing being talked about through an electronic device? It is difficult enough in the evening where a lot of fighting starts through phones, but during school is a big mistake. First you hear a punch and then a scream. ""Oww!"" STUDENT_NAME screamed when STUDENT_NAME punched him as if he was a pillow, went right through him. the cause of this fight was over text when student's rumored STUDENT_NAME wanted to fight which set STUDENT_NAME on the loose. Calling and texting during lunch, recess, and free times will be a big regret for the principal. Students can use their phones to cause fist fights, and harming themselves. It puts a lot of students in danger and risk.
When was the last time you heard the word bully? Advisory class, the police department, language arts class, the news, everywhere that word is being talked about and used. Well with cell phones during school this word will become a large increase. Being in use and talked about. It is a proven fact that every hour of the day a kid commits a suicide because of stuggles at school. Who would want to bring this risk to a higher level? You never know how much can spread and happen to anyone in such a short period of time at school.
The last component on which bringing cell phones into school time is such a bad idea is distraction. Normally during the day many student's now study for their afternoon science, math, french, etc. class test during recess, lunch, and free time. The usage of this electronic device will bring down grades and bring up less focus. During class even without their cellphones dream about having the device in their hands. It has become an addiction and when using it at school teachers and parents will not be happy with the results.
Bringing cellphones in school time will do nothing good besides cause even more violence, cruel bullying, and a lot of distractions. Student's will get involved with low recommended activities which will not improve student's behavior and grades. Our principal will soon see more kid's in his office and everybody's head buried into their devices not books.

93F44C7E955A,"The Facial Action Coding System is a coding program that can read emotions, some say this could help in the classroom to tell if students are ingaged in the lesson. This system was created by Professor Thomas Huang and Professor Nicu Sebe, leaders in their fields of expertise.
The usage of the Facial Action Coding System in schools to determine if a student is getting bored, tired, or angry at a lesson could be very useful. If a student were to get angry or bored during a lesson they are more likely to not pay attention and if you are tired you may not retain the information as well. If your computer could sense this and alert the teacher or change the lesson accordingly then it would give students a better working enviroment and a better chance of doing well in school. This 3D construct could also help teacher's understand their students better and help them learn more efficiently. This can also see through a fake smile and know the students real emotions which is important in case the student is trying to fake it through the leason when they really need help. According the the professional Dr. Huang, he predicts that, ""A classroom somputor could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored. Then is would modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor.""
So in conclusion, the Facial Action Coding System can read emotions and see the real emotions present. This could lead ot improvements in the classroom so that teachers and the computor can alter the lesson as needed to the specfic student and their needs. This is a good idea because it will improve the work enviroment created for students.

My name is, STUDENT_NAME. I am in the 8th grade at your school. The new policies you have created are kind of outrageous to me and other students attending your school. I run track and have a lot of friends that play many different sports. Most of us aren't making the grades that meet the standards of your policy. So i am writing a letter to you to ask you to please remove the policy.
I know you are going to tell me that you are very upset with most of the students grades, but a lot of us are trying. School and home can get very stressful, And when I have a stressful day or one of my friends do. We all like to come to our practices or something to help get it off our minds. Sports help a lot of us to relax and think clearly. Mostly to get stuff off our minds.
I pay more attention to my school work than I do sports. I always complete my homework and have it turned in on time. Its just the new policies you have made are keeping me from doing what I love. Its hurting a lot of the students too. It breaks my heart that i don't get to go to the track meets anymore, due to my grades. So now I just go home and do nothing, And who wants to go home and just do nothing ? Not this guy! Sports are like a getaway for a lot of students, And now most of us do not have that anymore. The new policies probably will start affecting my grades more than ever before.
So I'm asking you if you would please put the new policies on a low or you know you could just remove them. I'm very stressed from school and home. I have no relief anymore. But I'm not Speaking out just for myself. I'm talking and speaking out for every student in the school that feels the same way. So if you could please remove the policies I will get better.

EC145DC83EBE,"Dear state senator
I think having popular votes would be better 3 reason why I say this is because Electoral Colleges has selection of electors witch makings them vote for the President/Vice President. The second reason why i pick popular is because when it is Electoral Colleges voters vote not for president but for slate of electors and thats who picks the president. The last reason why we should vote by popular is because Electoral College is unfair.
To start off with why we should have popular votes is because Electoral Colleges process consists the selection of the electors and has a meeting with the electors where they vote for the President and Vice president. Electoral Collegeonly consists of 538 electors but majority of 270 is required to elect the President.
Another reson why i picked popular voting is because with popular votes the citizens are voting for who they want to be their President and who they want to be their Vice President but in Electoral College electors pick and vote for who they think would be the best President for instance if you lived in Texas and want to vote for John Kelly you would have to vote for slate 34 Democratic electors pledged to Kelly in Electoral College but in popular voting you could vote for anyone you wanted to and not someone who pledged that person.
The third reason why popular voting would be better is because Electoral College was unfair, outdated, and irrational and had lack of democratic and is also a turn off potential voters for a candidate who has no hope of carrying their states like them knowingtheir votes will have no effect witch makes them pay less attention to Electoral College voting.

Dear principal TEACHER_NAME,
I'm aware that you are attempting to improve the GPA of the students by taking away sports from those with a c grade average. Well you should know that won't work. Most of the kids don't even go for the sport. They just do it to hang out with one another to chat and gossip. They will just find other things to do, so they wont have to boost they're grades.
Plus most of the kids at this school don't even play sports. The students actually have jobs and chores to do. Others are occupied by things outside of school, that don't necessarily have to be good things. they could start doing things with one another that were trying to prevent.
Principle TEACHER_NAME haven't you heard you will attract more bees with honey than vinegar? Instead of taking something away why don't you offer ?

EB793B72A8C4,"Extracurricular activities are important for students, and I agree that all students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity. Students should try something new instead of doing nothing. Students can gain a lot from this experience, so I believe that they should participate in them. I think that even if students don't want to participate in these activities, they should because they can learn things that they never knew before, and I think that it could make an impact on their lives. Extracurricular activities are good for students to participate in because they can give you something to do, they can help you meet and befriend new people, and they can help kids find potential ideas and hobbies.
Extracurricular activities can give you something to do. Some of my friends go home and do nothing after school. It can get boring to have nothing to do for the remainder of the day. Participating in an after-school activity can pass time and help you to not be bored, especially if you are participating in an activity you enjoy. When I was in elementary school, I went to an after-school art club so I could pass the time doing something that I liked. I also did after-school soccer in the fourth grade, and I started playing volleyball in the fourth grade. I am still playing volleyball to this day. These kinds of activities can give you something to do instead of going on your phone and doing nothing. I have gotten more productive over the past couple of years because I participate in extracurricular activities. I believe that kids can be more productive, and extracurricular activities are a vital way to achieve this goal. Not only is it a good way to spend your time, but it is also a good way to meet people.
Extracurricular activities are a good way to socialize with people because you are participating in activities and games that you enjoy with other people. You share the same interests, and liking the same things as someone else is a good way to bond and socialize with people. I met a lot of people through after-school volleyball, and I am still friends with most of them to this day. Our team would go out to restaurants after our games whether we won or lost because we were friends, and we liked to play together. We all liked playing the sport, so it was easy to make friends with each other. I also met a lot of people through my art club because we liked to draw, and we liked to talk to each other. If you have trouble making friends, you will most likely be able to socialize and bond with others through these events. I met one of my best friends through after-school dance classes when I was in elementary school. We enjoy dancing and listening to music together. Not only are extracurricular activities able to help you get to know people, but they can also help you find your interests.
Having schools require students to take at least one extracurricular activity can help them find hobbies, and they can help students find things that they didn't know they were interested in. For example, I once convinced my sister to play volleyball. She didn't really want to do it. After school that day, she came to our volleyball practice. She ended up loving the sport, and she also plays it to this day. There are many different activities, such as theater, art, sports, science and math clubs, and the student council. Students are most likely going to find an activity they like and stick with it as they get older. Doing an activity that you enjoy can be very entertaining, and you might keep doing it in the future. I am in my school's eighth grade chorus, and I want to continue this activity as I get into high school. If you really enjoy these activities at school, you might also try to practice them at home. If you like to go to an art club at your school, you might continue to draw at home. These activities can also lead to trying to improve in your hobby as well. I continue to draw at home so I can improve. Schools give access to these potential new hobbies and activities, and I think that students should go to them and give them a chance.
In conclusion, I believe that students should be required to take at least one extracurricular activity. It is something that I believe is crucial to who students grow up to be. If students join an after-school activity, they can become more responsible. Having them sit around all day can make that person lazy in the future. They not might want to try new things in the future because they were raised that way. Giving kids these potential interests can help impact their choices in life, such as what they want to do for a job or what they want to do for a hobby. People might already have their future planned, but joining an extracurricular activity can change their views and can give them new ideas. Overall, I think that extracurricular activities are a good way for students and kids to spend their time participating in and enjoying.

Lets say you ask that one dentist that says the toothpaste is bad , now lets say you only asked him.

24BEAC89CB5E,"The Face on Mars
Have you ever thought of being a scientist at NASA or have you ever seen the Face on Mars? Well I am a scientist and I have been very lucky to go to space and see the Face in person. It was one of the best experiences that has ever happened to me in life! Some people think that the Face was created by aliens even though there has been many tests and agreements that it is just a natural landform. I belive that it is a natural landform beacuse there is proof that scientists have figured it was just another Martian mesa, there are pictures that proves it could just be formed like that because it is common around Cydonia, and there has not yet been any proof to encourage it was created by aliens.
The scientists and I have done several researches ever since we first saw the Face. Everything has yet led to prooving it is just another Martian mesa. Looking through all the pictures, everything stated that it is just a huge rock formation. The rock resembles a human head with eyes, a mouth, and a nose. I believe that after all the temperatures such as the heat and coldness, it could have caused it to be shaped like that. There has probably even been spaceships that has landed in Mars in search of investigation. The spaceships could have formed these shapes when landing there.
As you probably know, it is very common around Cydonia to have these kind of natural landfoms. Yes, it is common to have shapes and forms that are unusual such as the Face. The only difference in this one was that it had unusual shadows that made it look like an Egyptian Pharaoh. Theres not really much of a difference if you think about it. It is unbelievable that it's the first time poeple think of an alien doing this art work when they have never thought of this idea when we have found other evidence of natural lanforms like the Face.
There has been plenty of evidence to proove that the Face is just a natural landform, but there is no proove of it to be created by aliens. Looking at the pictures closely, there are no footprints, fingerprints, or marks to show any living life in Mars. If theres no living life in Mars, then how could there be aliens? I want you to think about that. There has not been any kind of creatures found in Mars which is shocking.
Now that I have explained myself of why I believe that the Face is just a natural landform, what do you think? Do you still believe aliens created it? If you do, I encourage you to do some research and tell me the reasons of why you think that the Face was created by aliens.

A recent problem that we have been facing is the school cell phone policy. I know that you are considering two possible policies and I would like to tell you my opinion on which policy is better for the student and the education matter.
Cell phones are a way for students to relax and spend their free time, but cell phones can be a major distraction, especially when it comes to education. I say that we should allow students to bring phones to school and use them during lunch periods and other free times, as long as the phones are turned off during class time.
If we do not let the students bring the phones to school at all, they will feel restricted and will alternatively bring their cell phones to school. This will cause more of an absence of mind.
Letting the students use the phones only at free times will teach them trust and respect. Students will no be distracted in class and will have a good time. This way, they concentrate on school work as well as their other interests.
This is my opinion and proposal on the school's cell phone policy. I hope you will consider my idea and thank you for your time.

608E2E406B74,"DEAR Principal,
I believe that we should be aloud to have cell phones in school as long as they are shut off until lunch or a free period. My reasons for say that it is a good idea to allow cell phones in school during school hours is because say that if you have an accident and are not able to get to a phone and you really hurt your self all you would have to do is pull out your cell phone turn it on and call either the office or your parents in witch if you called your parents they would end up calling the office for you to let them know what had happened and how it happened. Now if you didn't have your cell phone on you, you could end up being there for hours if no one was to come into the bathroom and then you would not want to be stuck in the bathroom for a long time. Also say that you have a doctors appointment after school and your mom did not tell you before you left the house all she would have to do is either call you and leave you a voice mail or she could just text you the time and were to meet her. Now if you weren't allowed to be able to have your cell phone how would you contact someone if you got hurt or if you had to meet your mom at the doctors and not catch the bus home or if you have to pick up your littler siblings and watch them after school. You would not be able to know that unless you have your cell phone because you can never rely on the office to pass along the message and then you could get into trouble if you do not get them message and your siblings are stuck were they are or you miss your doctors appointment. i believe that, that is the reason kids sneak them in so that they can stay in contact with their parents so that they would not get introuble. it would be a lot easier if you just let kids have their cell phone during school hours. so that they can check their messages or voice mail if mom called. now this is to why i say that you should be allowed to have cell phones in school during school hours.

D0279F114F87,"Some schools assign summer projects for students to finish before the next school year comes around. The purpose of this work is to push the student to grow and learn on their own time. For example, teachers give book assignments where the student must read, then write an essay about the book. The topic of the summer project may be interesting to some, but cause other students to hate the work. Teacher designed summer projects should not be permitted and forced onto students.
One reason that teacher-designed summer project should not be permitted is that, teachers don't know if the topic they chose will interest everybody. Students know what they themselves enjoy, so why force them to do somehting they may hate. When teachers assign summer projects its interrupts, and steals, the break that students need and deserve over the summer. If the project were chosen by the student then the subject would be something of their interest, and the project wouldn't be seen as such a nuisance. A students main priority during the summer should be to have fun. If a student enjoys the topic that they chose for their project then it wouldn't be interrupting the break, they well deserve, it would just be adding to it. For example, instead of reading, ""Lord of the Flies,"" students should be able to pick a book on a topic they as an individual enjoy.
Another reason that teacher-designed summer project should not be permitted is that, students dont have the time or energy for it. Students who were just learning how to write essays a few years back are now getting jobs and paying bills. Those students, society believes to be little children, are now working twelve hour shifts. As a student, with a job and bills to pay, work is very consuming of not only time but also energy. If a student does not have the time or energy for the project then nothing will get done. But if a student is allowed to pick their own topic then they will make time for it. People make time for things they like, for example, intimate relationships, sports, and friends. Student-designed summer projects would encourage the student to do finish their work, knowing that its something they enjoy.
Although some believe that if the summer project is student-designed then they wont learn anything or grow, but they are wrong. No mater what topic or subject is chosen for the summer project, or for anything in life, there is always something more that a person could learn and gain from it. Students know what they like, so they can chose the topic but in the end its still a project and its something the students must put work and thought into, pushing them to grow. When the project is student-designed the person doing the project would have more motive to finish the project well and learn even more on the topic, than if a teacher designed the project. Having the students interest in a summer project could make them want to learn more, instead of forcing them into more stress.
Each student is unique and likes different things. Schools should stop pushing them complete things that they dont like or understand. One way schools could fix this is by assigning a paper two months before the end of the school year asking for a detailed explanation of what the student wants to do for their summer project. The school or teachers could pick the way that they want the project ot be done but allow the student to chose the topic. By letting them chose the topic of the summer project it would help the students feel less stress and allow them to enjoy their summer while continuing to learn and grow.

159FA6D54C9B,"On May 24, 2001, NASA found something funny on Mars. The Viking 1 spacecraft was taking photos of possible landings sites for Viking 2. During that time, it spotted something that appeared to be an enormous head. It looked like an Egyptian pharoah, but turned out to be a regular, old mesa. It is still debated whether it was created by ancient Martian life, or whether is was just another regular landform on Mars.
My fellow co-workers and I thought this was incredible. We had just found something that could have proven ancient life on Mars. It turned out that it wasn't. Later, we figured out that it was another regular Martian mesa. We were so excited when we thought we had just found proof of earlier life on Mars. We thought we had just made one of the greatest scientific discoveries there has ever been. We were joyful when we saw the Face. We thought we found proof of ancient alien life without even looking for it.
Some people think that the mesa was actually created by aliens. In paragraph 5, it says that people thought NASA was just trying to hide all of the information. To be honest, we were hoping it was proof of alien life. We wanted to find proof of alien life. Why would we hide that information? That just doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
The Face is just a landform. In paragraph 2, it says that Marian mesas were common in the area the Face was in, Cydonia. Also, the shadows were the only things that made the Martian mesa look like an Egyptian Pharaoh. All that says is that a landform could be lucky and have some features that amde it resemble someone. Plus, how would Martians know what a Pharaoh looks like? They would be from Mars and not Earth. They most likely don't know anyone that even looks like an Egyptian Pharaoh.
In conclusion, the face is just a natural landform. It may look like a head, but that is just because of the unusual shadows that the mesa has. If my co-workers and I thought this was actually proof of alien life, why would we hide it from you? What is the point in hiding that kind of information? I'll leave you to decide that.

If you want to just do one activity or sport then choose your own one to do. Like I would pick sports because I really like baseball and I also play baseball. Play at the position that you would usually play at. Also try to go in the order you think is the easiest. do the one that makes more since to you so if you play shortstop and you also play pitcher then take turns at both of the positions. Do which one is the best for you to do or play.
If you wanted to work on a yearbook. Ask for help on it raise your hand so that someone can help you do it or understand it. Work at your own paste do what the teacher asked you to do and if someone else tried to mess you up just say no that is no going to go very well for you. Set all of the paper for it up right so that it would go well for you and it would also be easy for you. Also try your very best to do good on it and try to get a good grade on it.

The pollution made by cars could start smog to build up in major cities and suburband areas. This can become a major factor in many other developed countries. There is one way we could put a end to this and that is to limit car use.
There are countries all over the world that are starting a new trend in order to limit the use of cars. The trend they are starting is a car less suburb wich bans all cars from the community. This method is better because they build things in walking distance so there is no need for car use. This is a good way of reducing the air pollution and also a good way in saving money. this is a great move for the poeple who are jobless so they wont have to spend money on a car or gas. These suburbs are a good place to live because the air is less polluted and you save money.
This movement is also starting in major cities such as Paris and Bogota. Paris was one of the most polluted places in Europe until motorist with even numbered license plates were ordered to leave thier cars at home and the same would apply to the odd numbers the next day. As the days went on the smog in the air had reduced and also the traffic had dropped. In Bogota motorist were also orderd to leave thier cars home. When the people were orderd to leave the cars at home they started to ride bikes and carpooling to get to thier destination. The other countries saw how this helped car pollution and traffic jams they started to ban cars as well.
This movement has vehicle makers to start changing the way they make thier cars due to these events. This new trend has redudced the air pollution majorly and the use of traffic jams have dropped.

E7E7F9BA0F30,"Receiving multiple opinions from different people can help out a lot. Sometimes when people ask for advice, they don't always want to follow that specific person's advice. This is why receiving multiple opinions is better for some people. Seeking multiple opinions can help because it can allow you to understand through different point of views, It can help to get ideas on what you should do, and it allows people to understand where you're coming from. This is why people seek multiple opinions.
Seeking multiple opinions can allow you to see, listen to, and understand different people's point of views and how their advice can be beneficial in different ways. They might have a different perspective on what you think you should do, or what someone else thinks you should do, because we all think differently. Understanding where people are coming from, even if you disagree can also help you come up with one executive decision. For example, there could be an occasion where you want these nice shoes , but you don't have enough money so you go and ask for people's advice on what you should do. One person says, ask a family member for the money. You ask another person, they say steal the shoes from the store. In this scenario it allows you to think and understand what both people are trying to say and the benefits of each and then you can come down to which is a better choice. Stealing shoes from the store could get you in a lot of trouble, So the clear choice is to ask a family member.
Seeking multiple opinions can also allow people to see where you are coming from so they can try their best to give you the best advice possible. If they try to take a step in your shoes, and feel how your feeling about the situation then they can process and understand exactly whats happening and what they have to say about it. For example, if you are really sad about something and you talk to your friends about it, it allows them to feel empathy, and try to understand why you are sad, and what they can do to help you. Them seeing things through your point of view allowed them to feel what you are feeling which is why its easy and beneficial to get advice from multiple people. Especially people you trust.
Seeking multiple opinions can help you make a better choice because you can get ideas and see what choice you can make based off of those opinions. Like if you were to need opinions on what color to paint your room, people would most likely give you different colors. Sometimes multiple people give you the same opinion when that occurs in a case like this, you'd usually go with whatever people think the most. For example, if six people said you should paint your room blue, and everybody else said different colors, you'd most likely paint it blue based of what peoples opinions were. Receiving opinions in this case is very beneficial to see what people think, and gather ideas
In conclusion, There are many ways seeking multiple opinions can help you make a better choice. Seeking multiple opinons help because, you can see things in different people's point of view, you can collect and gather peoples opinions and turn them into ideas, and it gives people a chance to show empathy, and be in your shoes.",,575,Seeking multiple opinions,Independent,"When people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person.

B865F245D86B,"Dear Principal,
I am currently an eight grade student attending your school.
Some of my friends and I are currently working community services hours and enjoy doing them.
Many other schools require an amount of service hours to graduate.
I think that community service hours should be a required thing in order to graduate.
Some of my friends agree with this, but many of them don't.
The argument is that we, as teenagers, should be required to do service hours to graduate.
Many teens do not agree with this because they say they have busy schedules and do not have enough time to work service hours and want more time to hang out with friends.
Well, I do not agree with this.
I think that service hours are very important because it teaches teens to be more responsible and helps them find out where their interest are in life and what they enjoy doing.
This will also help them pick out high school electives.
Also, it is very important that teens help around the community, because it helps them grew more responsible and mature.
Community service can put teens in positions were they have to talk to adults to find out what they have to do, if they are doing it right, and if it is being done well.
This will help teens take constructive criticism from a boss, which will prepare them for a job.
The other argument is not having enough time for friends because they play sports or involved in other activities.
Well, if they are on a sports team then they are hanging out with their friends while at practices and games.
Also, you can do service hours with your friends.
They can plan a time when they all have a free night and do service hours in order to finish them for school.
After they are done with them they can then hang out.
Services hours are can be very fun if you are doing them with your friends.
If they do them with friends then they have the chance to hang out and help out the community.
I strongly think that our school should have a required amount of service hours that they have to finish before graduating.
I believe that service hours help prepare you for the future and find where your interest are and what you enjoy doing.
You are also helping your community by having your students do service hours.
The students can do them with friends and they can have fun while doing them.
This will also help the community grew and make your students more responsible and mature.

6A262FE09D0B,"You may think that the Face on Mars was created by aliens. That is not true. The Face is just a natural ladform. There is a lot of evidence to support my argument. Like it is simply just a mesa, the photo Malin took, and there are many similar landforms around the American West. Certainly it wasn't created by aliens!
It is just a mesa. First, Martian mesas were common. They were very common around Cydonia as said in the article. Second, it did look like a face. That is because of the unusual shadows that formed to look kind of like an Egyptian Pharaoh. Third, it gives an illusion. The illusion is of eyes, a nose, and a mouth. These are the reasons that shows that the Face is a Martian mesa.
Michael Malin's photo shows that it is a landform. First, Malin's photo was taken ten times sharper. It lets it have a more clear image. Second, people think that the alien markings were hidden by haze. Though on the second picture it still doesn't show any sign of alien markings. Third, on April 8, 2001 another photo was taken. That day it was a cloudless summer day. Malin's tame captured a fantastic photo. It still didn't show that the Face was created by aliens. The photos that Malin and his team took were very useful.
It is similar to the world in a way. Using photos of the Face they would be able to see if there was any sign of life. Like small homes, or shacks. Second, it is defenitly equivalent to a butte or mesa. There is so much information to prove that. Third, it has landforms in common around the American West. Gavin stated 'It remids me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho. It is similar in a way to America.
Now you know the reasons why the Face on Mars was not created by aliens. There is so mush evidence to prove it.

FC66DF75DFDE,"The Challenge of Exploring Venus
Imagine living on a dangerous but not so dangerous planet, would you risk your life on the sake of science? Venus could be a groundbreaking science exploration but is dangerous. The author makes claims suggesting Venus is dangerous but it is worth it. ""Not easy conditions, but survivable for humans"". Which I agree with the author.
The author talks about how ""no spaceship has landed there in three decades"" but,""Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life"". The fact that Venus could've had life could help us find out if other life forms live within us, that seems worthy enough. Although the temperatures do average over 800 degrees fahrenheit scientists can float above the fray. The temperature can get at 170 degrees which is survivable for us humans. ""Erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lighting strikes to probes seeking to land on its surface"". Weather conditions may be dangerous but humans will not land on its surface.
The ""atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than we face on our own planet"". Like I said they won't send their astronaunts onto the surface but they will be sent on the fray and will be more secure on the fray. ""Not one spacecraft last a few hours"". As the years go up our technology gets more sufficient and becomes safer, so scientists will be able to make a spacecraft that is able to land on Venus. ""The clouds have highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus's atmosphere"", astronaunts and scientists will stay on the fray.

A7D77A7A09E0,"The Face that is on Mars, is just a natural landform. I am here to prove that it is just a natural landform. All of my reasons will come from the passage named ""Unmasking the Face on Mars.""
I know that the Face on Mars is just a natural landform because, in the passage it is stated that when the spacecraft Viking 1 was circling it was snapping photos when it spotted a shawdowy figure like a human face on a region on the planet named Cydonia. After that though, scientisits figured out it was just another Martian mesa common around Cydonia. Next, on April 5, 1998, Mars Global Surveyor Camera snapped pictures better than the ones that Viking took. Thousands of peole waited for when the image would first appear on a JPL web site. The website revealed that it was just a natural landform after all. Finally, in the very last paragraph it said, what the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa. They are similar to landforms common around the American West. A scientist named Jim Garvin said ""it reminds him of the Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho."" Gavin also stated ""that's a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa around the same height as the Face on Mars.

34F995479008,"In the article ""Making Mona Lisa Smile,"" the author describes how a new technology called the Facial Action Coding System enables computers to identify and act on human emotions. It reads a person's facial feature and identifies their emotions. For example, if particular person sees an ad they don't like, the computer will read their expression upon it and acts quickly to make them satisfied. This technology can definitly be useful to students.
Everyday in a classroom a student will stop paying attention because they are confused or bored. In the article, it tells how the computer will try another strategy to get the student back on board with the main topic. This could be by making it into a game or maybe showing them a video that will help them understand the subject. This is an amazing technique to make sure no student falls behind.
There are so many ways that parents use to get there children into learning without any complications. Many students take online classes so they can go at their own pace. Most parents try to get their kids home schooled so they feel more comfortable with their surroundings. Some parents even get their younger children who have not been enrolled to school yet, started on the learning proccess. And although some websites might be helpful it does not always work out in the best way. With the new technology the computer, it willl be able to sense what the students pay more attention to, what the students are more interested in learning about. And with that, the computer will be able to find a way to get the students more on board with the learning proccess.
Many students have some big problems in their life and some people won't be able to help them. However, if the computer knows how to make them smile or feel better about themselves this might lead to a decrease in depression and teenage suicide events. With this new technology teenagers may not even have to worry about what is going on in the social media websites. They wiill be doing things that make them happy or satisfied with their life. This will be a major decrease in cyber bullying.

Performing community service would make a person happy as well as yourself. Community service should be an elective at many schools and be required to graduate, so they can learn maturity when they enter high school and college.
Community service should be required because it helps high school students and junior high students gain maturity. It is very important because maturity determines what kind of student you are and what kind of adult you will be when you get older. Many students who do not have maturity and are often the ones that get into trouble.

D76B29EEF706,"Dear Principal,
Grades are very important now a days and should have a huge impact on our lives, but there's no reason that the school policy should be changed so that students with a B average can only play sports or be involved with activities. That should not be the schools decision to make this policy. If a student doesn't get good grades then let the student and the parent talk about weather or not that student should play sports, or be involved in other extra activities.
Many students, are very smart when it comes to getting grades.
Most sports coaches tell there participants that if they don't get good grades, or earn there good grades then they don't deserve to play on that team, because it's not fair to the other athletics that do work hard to get good grades. Student's may try as hard as they can in a classroom, and study as much as possible, but that doesn't mean there always going to get good grades. Some students don't have to study to get the good grades they get. Where with other kids they have to study, and study, and study and maybe still don't understand what there learning about.
In school, instead of having the extra activities go on during school hours, let the group meet before school, or even after school where they will have more time to discuss their ideas. Even they could meet on the weekends or get together on the weekends and discuss there ideas that they might have. A student should not be punished in this way for there grades.
Most students, don't have the same way of learning things. Some students may be hearing learners where they hear one thing and can remember it just like that, where other's may need to see what there working on and maybe still don't understand it that well. Not all of the students brains function the same way. Some might be fast learners, where others are slow learners and you can't hold that against the kid.
I do know that if a student has any grade lower then a C- that student should not be allowed to be on a sports team, or involved with the team until they bring there grade up to a C. Grades are very important don't get me wrong, but student's need to have a free life outside of school also. They come to school five days a week for more then thirty-five hours. These students get bored out of there mind. I would rather see these students have a C average and be out on the sports field playing sports then to see these kids out along the streets getting involved with drugs and other substances that could harm there body.
Those are the reasons that I find most important why students who get C average grades should be allowed to participate in sports, and other school activities. Students should not be punished in that way for the grades that they get.

F4F8050544C6,"Cars have made an impression in human history. They have been used to get from point A to B for decades. They may help us but they also can hurt us. Gas emissions are hurting the environment and smog continues to grow. Some governments have already implimented ways to reduce these emissions. These have helped the problem and it may even be to our advantage. Many cities have already sought out ways to benefit the people that have chosen npt to use their cars. This limiting of car usage has benefited many countries and the trend seems to be catching on. In the first source, Elisabeth Rosenthal writes that it has made peope even happier than if they had had a car. It has also helped reduce traffic in normally busy streets. The most obvious benefit and advantage to having limited car usage is the fact that the reduced car use has reduced gas emissions. These many advantages may make, not using your car, worth your while.
Limiting car usage can be beneficial to the environment and it can also be beneficial to you. It can make for less stressed people. In Source 1, it describes how in a small town in Germany, many people are getting along fine without motor vehicles. As a matter of fact, some even said that they were happier without a car. Heidrun Walter states that ""When I had a car i was always tense. I'm much happier this way."" It may be less stressful because the goverment there had designed that town so that everything they could need was within walking distance or could be reched with public transportation. Many cities have already adopted this idea including New York. Source 3 has also asked people of their opinion and businessman Carlos Arturo Plaza said ""It's a great opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution."" Carlos had said this while riding a two-seated bicycle with his wife. Walking, Hiking, and even bicycling have been generally seen as a way to destress and relax your tensions. Stepping away from the car and just walking may just be the stress reliever you needed.
A usual sight to see in busy cities and on main streets is the amount of cars that jam the street alway the way up during certain hours of the day. This can become increasingly annoying to some people that can be on their way to school or job. A car-free day has had a very succesul turn out in Bogota, Colombia. Source number 3 described the streets of the capital of Colombia to be ""Eerily devoid of traffic jams."" on that day. So many people might have participated because violators would be fined $25. This car-free day was intentionally placed to promote alternative transportations such as biking or public buses and to also reduce smog. Another example of a type of car limiting was seen in Paris, France. Paris was near a record amount of smog in the air with ""147 micrograms of particulate matter (PM) per cubic meter compared with 114 in Brussels and 79.7 in London."" - Source 2. Paris took action to try and reduce smog with this simple method: Leave cars with even-numbered license plates at home or face a $31 fine. They proceeded on to the next day with the same concept but this time instead of even-numbered plates, it was odd-numbered plates. This reduced congestion by 60 percent in the capital of France.
One of the more obvious advantages of limiting car usage is the amount of emission that can be prevented from not using your car. In Source 2 it is stated that after 5 days of limiting car usage ""the smog cleared enough Monday for the ruling French party to rescing the ban for odd-numbered plates on Tuesday."" After just five days of the imposed fines, gas emissions into the atmosphere was reduced significantly enough to lift the ban. If five days made such an impact it can also make a huge impact if many more people were to start limiting their car usage. Car usage has already been falling in the United States. In source 4 it states that ""New York's new bike sharing program and its skyrocketing brdge and tunnel tolls reflect those new priorites, as do a proliferation of car-sharing programs across the nation."" This is talking about how all these factors have come to reduce car sales and car usage in general. Less cars equals less gas which would then equal less air pollution.
In conclusion, there are many advantages to limiting your car usages. You may not only be helping the environment but you may also be helping yourself. Using your car less may even make you a less stressed individual. It has been shown to reduce congestions in busy streets. It has also helped reduce gas emission. Limited car usage has started a trend in many countries and may even be a trend here. It can give us these advantages and many more.

62049767E58C,"Did you ever have a favorite sport as a child? Did you have a bunch of baseballs or soccer balls in your room? Did you ever run up to your parents asking for nothing but to play a game or basketball with you? Imagine you failed a math a test because you didn't understand the concept and your grade suddenly went down from a perfect A right down to a C. Try outs for the soccer team are next week and you really want to go. You've been waiting for it for the whole year, but then you realize you can't because of your grades.
Changing the grade requirement for sports from a B to a C is a big consideration. People with D' s or F' s obviously haven't earned the privileged to be eligible for sports, but what about people will C' s? The average letter grade for students are C' s. I think changing the average for grades to B is going to be a hard change for students.
A compromise that maybe can be done is looking at the students other grades. If a student has just one C and all A' s or B' s the rest, he is eligible for the team. If a student has all C' s, then he is probably not a very good candidate for someone who tries hard to keep up their grades.
I argue that students with C' s should be accepted on to the sports team because not everyone can get perfect grades all the time. Everyone has their moments when they didn't get the topic or were having a bad day on a test day.
What should be considered when trying out for a sports team is the effort of a student, their ability to try, and their skills. Of course it's important that students are doing well in school and that they can juggle both sports and schoolwork. For some people it's hard to maintain both at the same time and you can't always tell that from someone's grades. Students that have A' s could slip down to a D' s just by not doing their homework because they had a game that day. In that case, the students is not able to handle both school and sports.
I imagine that if the grade average was pushed up to a B to be on a sports team, students would try as hard as they could to get their grade up, but who says they haven't been trying already? What if a D student tried so hard to be on the school team, but could only raise it up to a C?

9446B19E4B04,"I am dissagreing because some reasons that really should be thought of. One of my reasons is that its the teen or the childs chocie because lets say they wanted to work at a hut dog truck they would not have a thing for that and its not there passion. That brings me to my next thing there passion there passion could be not wanting to do one of the options the principal is giving. Now my next reason is if they really cant do them they could have a bone that does not let do some stuff so like sports is probaly out of the picture. Now let me give you the reasons behind why I think the principal should not do this.
The main reason america is america is because of freedom someone should not tell you to do something thats not important. Lets say a kid is getting forced to do something like run but thats just a random man saying it he or she does not have to run at all see what I mean. Ok think about that but just imagine it at school getting forced to do it even if you dont want to. Likes lets say im a nerd and all I like doing is work but I dont have time for the other stuff so it would really affect my learning skills.
Now on to my second reason there passion this kinda brings me back the the freedom thing the principal is trying to force a hobby tho and thats not cool at all. What if they dont like any of them and they dont find it fun at all. Maybe if there was just things you can sign that would let you do it if you want would be good. My school does that if you want to do a sport or office type things they give you a pecie of paper you parents have to sign and you do too. So think about it forcing someone to do something they dont like the only thing there going to do is procrastinait.
Ok now my last reason if they cant even do it now your probaly they cant do what thats the thing the person could have something specail about they and can effect them when there trying to do stuff. I could have a forever broken arm and im pretty sure all the hoobies need at least two arms. And the fact that there is no hoobies that need no arms is dumb I cant belive one person could not think of one hobby like really.
Those are my reasons on why the principal should not force hoobies to people if they dont want them so thank you for your time and good night.

Vauban's streets are completely car free. Heidrun Walter says she is less tense and much happier without a car. Walking, bycicling, and hyking are much more eco friendly. In 2006 a trend is growing in Europe. Vauban home to 5,500 residents may be the most expieriment in low car suburban life. Car ownership is allowed but there are few places to park large garages and the edge of development. 70 percent do not own cars and 57 percent sold cars to move to Vauban.
Car pollution is at its all time high, in paris motorists were ordered to leave their cars at home due to smog. 67 percent of vehicles in France use diesel fuel. Only 53.3 percent make up the rest of western europe. passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of green house gases, and up to 50 percent in some car intensive areas in the united states. Chicago to Shanghai people tend to make their homes which is a huge reduce of green house gas emissions from tailpipes.
Americans are buying fewer cars, driving less and getting fewer licenses as the years pass. Americas love for vehicles seems to be coolig down. The number of miles driven dropped in 2005 and continued droppimg steadily. In 2013 the number of miles driven was nearly 9 percent below its peak. If this persists there will be beneficialimplications for carbon emissions and the enviroment. Last year a study was found that driving by young people decreased 23 percent between 2001 and 2009.

EE6FAC759013,"If you had a choice to make, would you ask for advice? Asking for advice is a smart strategy that can help you make a better choice but, asking multiple people for advice can help you make an even wiser choice than if you had just asked one person. Making choices can be stressful and it is important to always try to make the best choice possible. Every choice we make impacts our lives. Sometimes we are faced with difficult choices that require experience and knowledge that we don't have yet. When you ask for advice it is good to ask multiple people their opinion because it can help you get multiple different solutions or ways to make a better choice and, it can also help you see a variety of pros and cons about the options and solutions that you may have been considering for your final decision.
Having multiple solutions to a problem or multiple options to choose from can be helpful. In certain situations it can feel like there is no good choice until someone mentions it. It also helps to have multiple options just in case one does not work out the way you wished it would. It is also good to have multiple solutions because then you can combine the best ideas and end up making the best possible choice. Getting many options from multiple people is good because each person has had a different experience than you and some are more knowledgeable than others. Some people have even experienced a similar choice or have guided someone in their life who made a similar choice. For example if you are trying to choose your career path you could ask an older sibling or friend that is in college, a college counselor, a teacher or a trusted adult. All of those people have already gone through a similar choice and some have also guided people making that choice. All in all it is good to ask multiple people for advice because you can receive multiple options and solutions. Other people's advice can also help you see the pros and cons of the options that you received.
Although having multiple options is good some options are better than others. Since we know everyone has had a different life experience and some are wiser and older. People with more experience usually can give better advice. It is imperative when making a choice to analyze your options, and advice from others can help you do that. Sometimes options that we once thought were good ideas seem unwise after hearing comments from someone else. Is important to weed out the bad ideas so you are left with only good and helpful options. Sometimes we are so heavily influenced by certain people in our lives that we fail to see the flaws or incompleteness of their ideas.
In conclusion, it is important to ask multiple people for advice before making a choice. Doing this can help you make a smarter choice. You will have many options and solutions to choose from and you will be able to see the flaws in certain ideas that you may have thought were good options at some point. Asking multiple people is a wise and effective way to ensure that you are making the best choice.

A54A8A6E1AB8,"Why Doing an Extracurricular Activities Should Be Required
Middle school can be really hard you might be staying up to late after you finish your homework, or your having friendship problems, or maybe your just a little lost in your middle school career and you need guidance. There's one obvious solution, extracurricular activities! I think its amazing that councilors, administrators, and principles are making after school activities required in school. Activities are a crucial part of our middle school experience and even if its not required I believe that people should still do clubs and sports. Extracurricular activities helps people, like new students make friends, helps make people feel like they are apart of a team and have a team bond, and activities help our mental health as well.
One of the biggest reasons people join clubs is to make friends. If they're the new kid or they're just really shy. Lots of students have trouble making friends, and it's completely normal. A lot of these kids join clubs or sports teams to become friends with people that share the same interest. If you share the same interest as a friend you can talk for hours on end about something you're both interested in. Which is something a lot of kids can't do, whether it be that they're too shy, that they haven't found their best friend yet, or their friends have different interest, and thats okay, but it's also good to have friends that like that same things as you. When I was in sixth grade I was extremely shy and I didn't have very many friends, so I decided to join the track team. I met so many people that I'm still friends with now, in eighth grade. Spending hours with these people at school and then going to practice and games with them really expands the friendship and makes it so much stronger. Your friends will come and go, but the friends you meet from a club or activity will last your whole school career and maybe even lifetime.
Being a middle school student can be hard. You may not feel like you always fit in and you may feel like you really don't belong. Joining a team or a club can help make you feel like you belong. Being apart of a team makes people feel important and loved. People that join teams or clubs have groups of people by their side and it feels good to have a team have your back. Joining any extracurricular makes it seem like you have your own tiny at school family. As they're together almost all the time your bond isn't really a big friendship it feels like you are all a big family. This family like feeling is great for kids who are feeling a little lost and need more guidance in their lives. The coaches or teachers that lead these activities set good examples for the students, give them advice, and even mentoring when it's needed. The coaches and club leaders really step up and help get they're athletes or people that participate in the club back on the right path. These clubs, activities, and teams are designed to help you become you best self.
Joining a club or sport also does a lot for our mental health. In a lot of clubs there is a huge amount of volunteer work that is required. Volunteering makes you feel like a better person, but also helps someone in need. Doing something to help someone else is good for our mental health and release chemicals to make us feel happier. Sports and exercise produce similar chemicals in our brains. Working out can make us happier and more focused. When I come home from practice I'm always in a great mood and I can always sit down and do my homework well. Doing sports also helps with the amount of sleep you get and how good and deep your sleep is. As students we need the best, and as much sleep as we can get. We're growing people that go to school for 7 hours a day, have homework, and chores. School life can be exhausting, but I've noticed that when i workout, and get more sleep I'm always in a better mood. One of the reasons we're ""moody teenagers"" is because we don't get enough sleep and it's so easy to change that. Extracurricular actives effect our moods greatly and it's so important that we take advantage of the positives. Another reason why extracurricular activities are important for our mental health is because it takes our minds off of school. School is so stressful and its hard for us to deal with the stress we're facing because we're only in middle school a lot of us are still kids or we're barely teenagers. Doing extracurricular activities helps get our minds off of our school work, homework, test, and quizzes for a couple hours a day, which is super beneficial to our mental health. Doing things like running, drawing, or writing reduce stress and can someone happier.
It's so easy to get caught up by school. You should always have time to step back and take a break, and I think one of the easiest ways to do that is by doing an extracurricular activity. The extracurricular doesn't have to be athletic or academic. You could do a fun activity like Lego Robotics or playing video games. Being apart of something bigger than yourself is very important and I think more schools should start making extracurricular activities a requirement to pass or graduate, because it forms good bonds and friendships, after school activities have positive effects on our mental health and mood, and being on a team makes students feel like they matter and are important. Extracurricular activities can really change a students while career by giving them an outlet to preform and enjoy what they love. I think more schools can take notes from the schools that are making clubs and sports a requirement.

DA3B68ED05FE,"The works of a car have created wonders to people as early as the early 1900s. Now people need to understand the advatages of limting car use. Pollution has gone down in cities from not using cars and people have reported less stress, which is due to the car rates going down. Many people have argued that jobs are going to go more down then we may need, if we stop using cars, but there is always a way to fix small situations such as that.
Studies have shown cars have created pollution for the enviornment. Pollution can cause sickness and other affects that can cause a habitat to be inhabitable.""Pasenger cars are responsible for 12% of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe... and up to 50% in some car-intensive areas in the United States,""(Rosenthal,5). Though, we can fix that. Many cities such as Paris,France have experimented with the law involving cars to see if the country can have a pollution decrease and they did, within the first day. Duffer reported that on Monday Paris created a ban for the even-numbered plates and the smog was able to clear in one day's time. ""The smog cleared enough Monay for the ruling French party to rescind the ban for odd-numbered plates on Tuesday,"" (Duffer,19).
People have argued that stopping car production may cause people to lose their jobs. There is a way to fix that. Selsky reported that in Bogota,Colombia because of the car distribution slowing down they were able to make parks and sport centers accessiable. ""Parks and sports centers also have bloomed throughout the city,""(Selsky,28). With that being said without people running any of those faclities then parks and sport centers wouldn't be that accessiable to the fellow citizens. So by creating more places like parks and sport centers, and less places like car factories we would be able to limit car usage without the worry of someone losing their job and not being able to get one.
Cars have also been known to cause stress. In the article ""In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars,"" Rosaenthal quoted Heidrun Walter talking about how tense she was when she had a car. The constant worrying for gas and car bills may be a factor towards the stress in someone's life. Young adults have not worried as much for a car, making the somewhat more content. ""Mine (19 and 21) have not bothered to get a driver's license, even though they both live in places where one could come in handy,"" (Rosenthal,39).
Limting car use can cause a major impact on today's society. ""Demographic shifts in driving population suggest that the trend may accelerate,"" (Rosenthal,38). It has many advantages that people should understand. Pollution rates can go down. Stress could go down once you start limting car use.

41663F4E0666,"How would a person guess one would survive under the conditions Venus presents? Astronomers, space geniuses, and article writers alike believe that it would be well worth the risks to explore the planet. The author supports their claim that Venus is worth the risks to explore by saying that it is the closest in regards to planetary visits, the conditions it presents are not easy but survivable, and human curiosity will eventually lead us to it.
The author states that Venus has many features that are analogous to Earth. In paragraph four, the author states ""Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system."" this sentence is helpful in relation to the authors point because it states that astronomers believe that Venus used to be extremely similar in relation to Earth. It also states, ""The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters."" this sentence further proves his point by explaining the parts of Venus that are similar to Earth.
The author also states that Venus' conditions are ""not easy"", but they are survivable. In paragraph five, the author states ""...temperatures would still be toasty at around 170 degrees Fahrenheit, but the air pressure would be close to that of sea level on Earth. Solar power would be plentiful, and radiation would not exceed Earth levels."" These two sentences prove that Venus' conditions are more extreme than Earth's, but that humans would be able to survive with the technology and manipulation that exist today. The authors point is proven because it is stated that the conditions can be survived.
Lastly, the author states that human's natural curiosity will lead them to visit Venus, or do something with more or equal risks. In paragraph eight, it is stated that ""Striving to meet the challenge presented by Venus has value, not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself, but also because human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors."" This statement is proving the authors point by saying that although visiting Venus presents risks, so do many other things that humans have accomplished. Visiting Venus has both value to the planet and to humans.
The author is stating that Venus is human's best chance to explore another planet. Venus is closer than other planets, replicates Earth's conditions in a more extreme way, as well as the fact that humans are naturally curious.

Students should be allowed to bring phones to school and use them during lunch and free times. They should be allowed as long as they do not use them during class. Some students might need to use them during lunch for certain reasons. They might have to call their parents to bring them something that they might need. There are some real emergencies when we have to use our phone. Sometimes the office or our teachers let us borrow their phones but sometimes the emergency might be personal and the teachers might hear what you are telling your parents. There are times at lunch that you just have to use your phone for any reason.
Another reason why you might need to use your phone during lunch might be because of the food. Maybe you are allergic to something and you are really hungry you can call your parents to bring you something. Another situation might be that we are feeling sick during free time and our teacher doesn't believe us we can call our parents so they can come to pick us up. What would you do if you just feel really sick but you don't want to go home we can call someone to bring us medicine so we can feel better. Or maybe you forgot your homework and your teacher doesn't let you call from the office you can call from your own phone.
There are many reasons why we should be allowed to use our phones at least during lunch or during free time. That's the whole point in having a cell phone if you can't even use it until the afternoon? They should at least let us use it during our free time and during our lunch.

Every since the first cars were built, people all over the world have loved drving, owning, and working on cars. It is part of Americans life to own a car. Driverless cars will make us lazy and unrealiable in times when we need to give direction or actually drive. I think driverless cars are inferior because people love cars, millions of jobs revolve around people driving cars, and people would become far too lazy if they didn't have to drive.
First, people all over the world love cars. They love everything about them. They love the freedom they have while driving them and the feeling of independence. People love working on cars and restoring old cars to be like new. If cars suddenly became driverless, all of the things people love about cars would history.
Next, millions of jobs involve people driving. Truck and taxi drivers would lose their job to computers. This would result in even more unemployment and frustration. We would lose control on things that humans could do better. Not to mention bus drivers, how would driverless cars know when to wait on someone running late? Or if someone on the bus forgets to get off? Human drivers can remember and remind the passengers if they forget or are not paying attention.
Finally, people would become lazy knowing that they don't need to drive anymore. People would not memorize routes and get lost without the aid of the driverless car.

Voting by the Electoral College does not allow the people to have the final say. It altimately gives the elector the choice. ""The 2000 fiasco was the biggest election crisis in a century"" (Bradford Plumer, paragraph 14), it was a disaster factor. The electory went against the will of the people and voted the opposite of what they said. Whose to say something like this can't happen again soon?
Some people say that the Electoral College is a good thing. It allows a certainty of outcome and is a fair, reasonable way to vote for a president. But it is based off of trust, that the elector won't betray the canidate's party and people. Trust. Are you really going to put your vote for the president of your country in someone eles hand based off of trust?
Having an elector represent your state based off of population is ridiculous. One elector representing 500,000 people in Wyoming. Wouldn't you sleep better at night if you could represent yourself instead of someone representing you and thousands of other people all at once.

1D0ED4D5C9D9,"Dear principal ,
Students should be able to brig their phones to school and use them during lunch periods and free times, as long as the phones are turned off during class time. I understand that you may conceder the opposite idea , but you should be able to trust your students. As they get older and older even if phones were to be prohibited, it wouldn't work anyways. Our school is a democracy.
Your students and my classmates should have the choice of weather they desire to carry and use there property on their own time. You should have enough trust in them to believe that during the time that they are luring to become successful they will not use there cell phones in class. If they would decide to go against this policy, the teacher should just be able to take the students phone away either until the end of the day or until the end of class. If you school is such a democracy then the students should have a word on what you decide.
Also , if propitiation hasn't worked in your experience, then it probably won't work in the future either. When the people that make up your school are all deceiving a rule it is usually because they will take the risk to get what they want. There are too many students that are using there phones during free time anyways to have it become a rule to not use them. Not allowing students to use their phones on their own time would be overly dramatic and would not make much of a change.
Lastly, students also need to be able to have some type of communication with their friends and family. If they wouldn't have this, many of them would probably be in a bad mood or just think about other situations while they are supposed to be learning in class. Having their cell phone during free hours is a way for them to have a brake and just free their mind for the remaining time until class starts again. If phones were not aloud in this school then teenagers would have more anger bottled up and they would feel like they were having much longer and stressfully days then usual.
I understand why you would consider starting a new policy, but our students are trust worthy enough to have there phones during the day. If the policy of not being able to have there phones during school would be passed, then there would be much of a difference enyways. Students would still use there phones secretly.

1F8987BC7DAC,"Did you know the 75% of high school students do their summer assignments in the last week of the summer. Some even do it in the first week of school. This percent would decrease if the students projects were self chosen. It would help them by giving them the choice of doing what they want to do. They would be able to be more creative, be able to do it faster so they can enjoy their summer and some families money is a struggle and they can't afford the teacher directed projects so they can do what works for them.
When a project is student directed they have the freedom to do what they want and be creative with it and actually enjoy doing the project. I have had hundreds of projects in my eleven years of schooling and some of my favorite ones were in my cooking class last year. My favorite one in that class was a food truck project. My teacher said you have to make a cardboard box food truck, make a menu, and make one item on the menu. Otherwise we were free to do what we wanted. I ended up making some really good food because she said just do what you want. I also ended up getting a good grade because I could be creative on that project.
One major problem with summer assignments is that students either forget about them and don't do them or they push them off until the last minute. I am one of those students that procrastinates until the last minute to do my AP summer assignments. It makes it very challenging to do them when there is only one week in summer left and I want to have fun and enjoy the last parts of the summer. I have friends that are worse than me and either don't do the AP work at all or they do them at the beginning of the school year, but if they were self chosen they would not have the issue of not wanting to do them because they can do what ever they want and make it what they feel is good.
My final reason is more on the extreme side but I have seen it happen. It is where the teachers summer work is a large project that is simple but costly and some families that I have seen do not have enough money to do the project. They normally end up failing the project because they never did the work, but if they could do what they want for it they could've passed. Where if they were short on money and it was limiting them on what they could do if they needed to they could do a less expensive project and save their money for other things.
There are many other reasons that students should be able to do their own thing for their projects over the summer but here are just a few of the reasons that people say that they should remain teacher directed. It's that it is a lot easier for the teacher to grade based on what they are looking for because they can grade on their scale of how close it is to what they want. But when it is student choice they can be creative and have fun, the project can go faster and they can enjoy their summer for what is it and it can be more cost effective for the families that have lower incomes.",,579,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

"" Its official : the eclectoral college is unfair, outdated, and irrational."" The electoral college is not fair to voters even at the most basic level. Some states dont even get to see the candidates because they dont spend any time in states they know they dont have a chance of winning in. During the 2000 compaign seventeen states didnt see the candidates at all because of the winner- take- all system.
The electoral college does restore some of the weight in the political balance in large states. Al Gore won the popular vote but lost the presidency, over sixty percent would perfer a direct vote than have the elctoral college vote also. The vote could be very close even if one candidate wins by much in the popular vote due to the presidency vote. If there was a tie in the electoral vote the election would be thrown to the House of Represenstatives. Instead of all that work if there was only a popular vote it would be quick and simple.
Voters in 25 of the largest media markets didnt get to see a singke ad campaign because the candidates didnt think they could win there. ""If anyone has a good argument for putting the fate of the presidnecy in the hands of a few swing voters in Ohio, they have yet to make it...."".

5A937340D387,"Dear School Principal,
It has come to my attention that you have been considering changing policy on participating in school sports from needing a C average to needing a B average. In order to think in the best interest of the students, I firmly believe that this policy change would be an incredible mistake. I think that the school should definitely not change their policy.
First, the majority of students at our school that are participating in sports and maintain a C average are doing the absolute best that they can do. Schools always want students to do their best when learning, and I don't see why any student should ever be punished for that. By forcing them to have a B average, its almost like punishing children that cannot sustain above average grades, and that would be unfair to students.
Next, by punishing students for having a C average, the school is sending a message to them that a C, which is an entirely acceptable grade, is not okay. This may unsettle several children within the school walls and cause more trouble than its really worth. I'm sure that we can all agree that students do not want violence in school any more than the faculty does, and that encouraging violence in any way would not be a good decision.
Also, students often times make mistakes in classes and accidentally end up with a C average. Many of these children are normally A and B average students that might have had a problem with a test or forgotten to do homework once or twice. These children are among the best that this school has to offer, and it would be a shame to see them paying for a mistake that they made once, especially since they have worked so hard in the past.
Finally, if the policy is changed, then the number of participants in sports will drop drastically. Depending on who might be affected by this change, our school may not have enough players for each sport, and it would be a shame for our school to lose the chance to participate in sports competitions with other schools. For some students, playing sports helps keep them grounded and out of trouble. Without the positive influence that sports provide, those children may begin to give in to negative aspects of their life, and recruit other students along the way.
In conclusion, I believe that changing the policy on sports to requiring students to have a B average instead of a C average would be a poor decision. Not only do sports help keep students grounded, but they also help students focus on their grades because of eligibility. By changing the policy, it may force students to give up on maintaining good grades, and that is not what the school would want in the end. In keeping the students' best interests at heart, I think that the school should definitely not change their policy on participation in sports.

AB3053E08AEC,"Dear Principal,
I believe in Policy number 1. Allow students to bring phones to school and use them during lunch periods and other free times, as long as the phones are turned off during class time. I believe kids should have their phones during free times because if there was an emergency at school like a lockdown, the kids can call 911 and their parents to let them know that everyone is all right and maybe come pick their kid up. The same rule applies to a fire drill. If their was an emergency, a phone in the hands of hundreds of students would come in handy. Some students have those types of parents, the over protected parents who encourage their kids to take something to school at least to contact their parents once or twice a day to let their parents know they are all right. Even if taking phones to school is against the rules some kids do it. When the kid uses the phone in school, most of the time the teachers don't even notice because they are teaching a class of twenty to thirty kids and the teachers cant be focused on one particular kid or even search kids to see if they have their phones. As long as the kids pay attention in class with their phones turned off and out of site, then i think a phone would be fine in school. The kids should be allowed to use their phones during a free period because the kids aren't learning or being taught information during that time, the kids are having fun with their friends talking about teenage life. Policy two doesn't work for me because if there was a lockdown drill and nobody could get to the phones to call 911 because if they tried moving to another room to do that they would get caught by the bad guys, the phones in the hands of hundreds of kids would come in handy because then they could call 911 quietly in a safe room and get help saving their school from what could possibly have been a shootout.",,354,Cell phones at school,Independent,"Your principal is reconsidering the school's cell phone policy.

649807ACDD9F,"Dear TEACHER_NAME,
In my opinion being needed, I don't understand why students here should have to have a grade B average. Playing sports isn't really needing to have to be one a certain grade level, it's all about your fitness and how well you play for your school.
If I were a principal I wouldn't make people have good grades as they make you have now because it really isn't about how well your grades are it truly is all about your achievment. Playing sports isn't really ever on how well you do in your classes anywho because it's a sport, you play it as a team, and if you aren't that good you do it to gain fitness and become tougher. I could sort of see why you have to have good grades thought just because whenever you're playing a sport it's with a school team, so therefor you have to be a good role model for your teamates rather then getting in trouble all the time and failing every single class. If you're a good player, then act and show as if you are one. If you aren't one, then try your best to show that you can do it!
I have always wondered why the ""policy"" has to be set on whether or not you're making a B average. In my opinion again I do not believe why this has to be this way, I could understand if you were failing because that's just not really exceptiable in my book. Other then not failing I believe you should be aloud to play because the only way I would ever say no is because of a failing F. That just gives not effort. If you passed without any F's then you should be able to play a sport because you still gave effort in what you were doing.",,307,Grades for extracurricular activities,Independent,"Your principal is considering changing school policy so that students may not participate in sports or other activities unless they have at least a grade B average.

The other members and I do so many cool things in the program! If you were to join you could do these cool things with us. So you should think about joining the Seagoing Cowboys program.
Joining the Seagoing Cowboy program is an opportunity of a lifetime. While traveling you can see many landmarks or historical sites. Maybe we could see the Great Wall of China sometime! You could meet many new people in the world. Oversea you could learn many new languages like Chinese, Japanese, Italian, and many more.
If your in a Seagoing Cowboys program you could visit many cool places. You could see the Great Wall of China or even The Acropolis in Greece. While being in the program I've been to the Acropolis in Greece and I've ridden in a Gondola in the streets of Venice, Italy. You could visit landmarks and even statues of historical figures.
After delivering the animals and food we clean everything up then we have a bunch of free time. In our free time we play baseball, volleyball, table tennis tournaments, fencing, boxing, reading, whittling, and other games to help pass time. We play all these things in the cleaned out stables of the animals. We all have fun! If you were to join us I bet you would have a bunch of fun too.
In conclusion, joining the Seagoing Cowboys is fun, friendly, and fantastic! We help many people but we have fun at the same time. Everyone in the program right now is having fun.

06699F123D6B,"Seeking multiple opinions can help someone make a better choice for many reasons. People might have been in you shoes in the past, it will give you pros and cons, and it'll avoid bias.
At some point in your life you have probably applied for a job. Whether it's something small, like your pools' snack bar, or something big, like a job on Wallstreet. More than likely, you will ask someone who has been in your shoes in the past for advice, but why limit yourself to one person? If you glue yourself to one person you are gluing yourself to their path and what they did, you are not an exact copy of them. Sure, it's nice to hear from someone who has accomplished what you want to, but if you expand your options and ask lots of people who have been in your shoes, you are allowing your brain to hear multiple ways of achieving the same task so that you can find the best possible outcome for you, not them.
Whenever I make an important decision about a task or something I want to accomplish, I normally will make a pros and cons chart. With denying yourself the opritunity to hear advice from multiple people you are denying yourself to hear multiple pros and multiple cons. For example, let's say person 'A' gives me all cons about a summer job, if I only listen to person 'A' I will most likely not get a summer job. While if I choose to hear multiple options, I will listen to the advice from person 'B' who gives me all pros. Now I have options of both pros and cons to make the right decision for me.
Finally, lots of time people will have there own interest in mind. For example, lets say that you are choosing a college to attend and you happen to limit yourself to the advice of your friend who attends college 'A', they will most likely tell you to go to college 'A'. While if you ask a verity of people they will explain why college 'B' has more of what you want to accomplish in life. At some point in your life, whether you realized it or not, you were probably biased too. It's human nature! I am positive that I have been as biased in the past as you, but we shouldn't just assume that the one person we ask for advice isn't.
In conclusion, seeking multiple opinions can help someone make a better choice for many reasons. People might have been in you shoes in the past, it will give you all you options, and it'll avoid bias. So next time when you are about to make a life changing for many reasons. People might have been in you shoes in the past, it will give you all you options, and it'll avoid bias. or even what job to take over the summer, please take my advice and get a variety of people to give you options.

1424DEF8AEA5,"Extracurriculars
Is it okay to make every student participate in an after school? Things like sports, clubs, or student council.
Although other people might think that't a great idea the answer is no. Forcing students to do an extracurricular is not okay even if said by the principle. Some reasons are that the student might not have time, they have siblings to take care of, or they might not want to first off students might not have the time to participate in after school activities. Some students have lessons outside school that are paid for by their parents. There could be students who have a lot of homework and extracurriculars could give them less time to do it. They might have a part time job that needs them to come right after school. Students don't always have as much time as the school thinks they have.
Secondly if students have siblings in elementary school and they're in junior high or high school than they might need to be there when their siblings get home from school. They may need to take care of them or make sure the house doesn't burn down. Maybe they have sick family to take care of after school. They could have chores to do when they get home. There are more things that students need to do when they get home than the school thinks.
Lastly they might just not want to do after school activities. Students spend 40 hours a week in school and who is to say (except for their parents)
what they have to do with the rest of their time. What if they want to have time to hang out with their friends out side of school. And I know that you might say that they could hang out with their friends while doing the extracurricular but that's not what they want to do. What if their friends don't go to their school? How would they get enough time to hang out. Students have lives out side of school.
Should schools force students to do an after school activity? NO! It would be okay to encourage that kind of thing but it should not be mandatory. Schools don't always know their situation and when the school day is over, it's over. School can't make them do anything after that because it's not school time any more.

I believe policy 1 is the best choice for our school. Even though phone usage is a problem there are many reasons students should at least have their phones. I see that during class, phones can be very distracting, but there are also a lot of useful places for a phone in a school day. Students may need their phones to contact parents, so they can inform them on afternoon activities. Phones may also be used to ask a friend to meet up for study hall so they can work on a project.
If students have their phones and an emergency occurs then they can use them to contact their parents for transportation, or inform them of their whereabouts. For most students a phone is a sign of security that serves as a lifeline to their parents. Faculty could easily monitor phone activity in the school by making shore kids had their phones in their backpack during class.

Luke would want people to join because joining forces with countries to help other countries is something that is helping the less fortunate countries. Some peolpe just think their going over sea to help other people and that's boring,but, when your heading back home you can use the empty space that you put the supplies in for fun activities. I think people should join the UNRRA(the United National Relief and Rehabilitation Assosiation).
Next, Luke would want people to join because you never know what you might learn over sea. You may learn how to do things you never knew how to do like fishing or you might learn about the different countries you go to and you could share that knowledge with your friends when you get home. You could even visit muesems and see things you never knew existed. The things you see could inspire you to make something compared to that and it might be in a muesem one day.

553A7E9B393C,"Your principal has decided that all students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity. For example sports,work on the school year book,or serve for student council do i agree or disagree with this argument.
First off I would like to start off by saying, the principal might just want his students to have more than education. The principal just wants to have a little more fun in school instead of just sitting in side day doing boring classwork. So i should ask this, have you ever been in school and you are bored out of your mind? Well that is exactly why this principal is doing this for his students in his school.
Secondly just let me back ""up""! When your bored at your house what do you do? Well most of you would say um i play Fortnite or I play my Xbox or GTA 5 something like that. But when your at school your like please just get me out of here its so boring! So now is when im going to say that is why this school principals doing this for his student's because he dose not want his students to get bored.
Thirdly when a student gets bored they will do anything possible to not be bored. So thats what leads in to timeout slips and then it starts disrupting the class and it also stops the students from learning. So this is another reason why this principle doing this for his students. hen it gets so bad that it stops the others from learning you know its time to do something bout that. Like even some teachers have board games in their classrooms.
Fourthly that is why their are after school sports such as football,resulting,basketball,baseball,soccer,and even volleyball.

2FF01AA49B76,"Schools requiring students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break isn't a bad idea, but should the projects assigned be teacher-designed or student-designed? I personally, as a student would much rather prefer a student-designed project over a teacher-designed project. A lot of benefits come from letting students design their own projects. The continuation of students learning during their break is in fact important, however, students should be given the option to design their own projects that they will enjoy constructing during their brake. Students including my self don't always tend to understand instructions given to us by a teacher, so, who would students go to if they were ever confused about a certain task that had to be done on the projects designed by their teachers?
Students designing their own summer projects benefits students, teachers, and schools. As students are designing their projects, teachers have now saved time. Teachers no longer have to take time out of their day to plan these projects for their students over the summer. Students are gaining knowledge by practicing their creativity, planning and organization. While students are constructing these projects they're always learning something new whether it's from the research the student did or the materials used, the point is, students are benefiting from these projects as well. Schools now have teachers with more time to make the school a better place by being prepared for when the students come back from break and they now have smarter and brighter students who've been learning new things over the summer.
Yes, It's true, a student would much rather prefer not doing ANY projects over the summer, but if they were given the option to do a project of their choice that they design, they will complete it and they would enjoy doing it. No one wants to have a boring summer break and if students are assigned projects they should be at least able to design there own so they can have fun completing them. You'd be surprise about how creative students can get and that's what makes it fun for students. Students have a variety of choices to design a project, like online projects, poster board projects, try fold projects, etc. Learning and having fun at the same time during their summer break doesn't sound too bad after all.
Who or where would a student go to if they had a question about one of their projects that was assigned and designed by their teachers? Yes, now a days we have technology that helps us communicate, but not all students can purchase a device or their parents/guardians can't afford to purchase their children an electronic device. A student designed project would prevent all of those problems. It saves busy parents' time from having to drive their children to the school to ask questions about the projects they were assigned over the summer. With a student-designed project students would be able to put all their ideas on their projects with out having any questions because they designed it.",,505,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

E3D6D79EA71F,"Summertime; it is every high schooler's favorite time of the year. Summer is supposed to be a time of warm, sunny days, and endless nights. Summer is also supposed to be a time of no teachers or school, only fun. However, for many students this is unfortunately not the case. It is very common for schools across America, and even across the world to impose mandatory summer projects on their students. These projects are designed to attempt and ensure that pupils retain their knowledge over break so they will be prepared for the upcoming school year. While they may be helpful, these projects certainly put a bit of a damper on those summer nights young folk so dearly regard. Difficult summer projects loom over restless teenagers like a tyrant. It becomes easy for anxiety to replace fun-loving spirit when teachers assign summer projects of boisterous proportions. Hard projects during a time of joy are also statistically less likely to take priority over their counterpart. This is why summer projects should be student-designed.
Student-designed projects would be an ideal choice for schools to to implement because they would allow students to feel more relaxed over the summer and enjoy their break. While most definitely a debatable topic, one is inclined to believe that students work extremely hard all year, and summertime is one of the few non-stressful moments they receive. If students could design their own projects it would lessen the pressure and anxiety of completing a task that they know could impact their future. If teachers were to give their students a rough set of requirements and allow them to creatively come up with a project, not only would they be much more enthusiastic about said project, but also much more likely to put in quality time to ensure their best work is put forth. Teenagers have some of the highest anxiety and depression rates of all age groups, and summertime is the one time of year where they are not pressured by constant school-work assigned by teachers. It is unfair and downright cruel to take this away from them.
Another reason student-designed projects are beneficial is that student-designed tasks have higher completion rates. This means that if teenagers are doing something that they want to do, it is much more likely to be completed than a task they deem boring. Not a single person on this beautiful planet of ours has the exact same interests. If students were allowed to create a piece based off of one of their interests, that piece is going to get done. When you allow for passion in a workplace, the results are outstanding. For example, a student who has an interest in photography could be assigned a summer project for their ecology class. This student could then create a portfolio of different types of plants and animals they encountered over the summer. To make this project educational, they could including a listing of the different species along with some details about their respective characteristics. A differing student in the same class who takes an interest in athletics, could take specimens of grasses and dirt from playing fields. From here, they could examine the biology and impact of the different types of sports fields on their respective sports.
In all, student-designed projects are a much smarter alternative to traditional teacher-designed projects. Allowing students to designate their own projects will lead to less stress, which results in a higher rate of project accomplishment as well as an increase in quality. Schools worldwide should allow for student-designed projects if they value passionate, complete, and quality work, furthermore if they value the happiness and well-being of their students. Any educational institution hopefully holds stake in all these virtues. In conclusion, schools that require summer work should only assign student-designed projects if they want success.

66EAC5C59580,"Dear Principal,
I believe that you should use policy two because students always bring their phones to school. some bring their phones to school for important reasons like having an after school activity and needing to get in touch with their parents who are at work far away, and that is okay because some students leave their phones in their locker. But on the other hand some students abuse this and text during class when the teacher is not looking or even when the teacher is looking. Some people even have their phones with them during the school day and did it on accident forgetting to put it in their locker and then they still get in trouble if it goes off in the middle of class because the teacher does not know if the student is telling the truth or just lying to not get in trouble. If you enforce the policy I believe that then more student will listen to the policy because they now know that if they bring their cell phones to school they will be penalized. These are a few reasons why I strongly believe that you should choose policy two.

9F555ED5E03A,"Venus is sometimes called the ""Evening Star"" when it is no star at all. Venus is a planet right next to Earth. The author provides examples of the advantages of exploring Venus such as getting a better understanding of Venus, its the closest planet to Earth, and its the most Earth-like planet in our solar system. The author believes a worthy pursuit is to study Venus despite the dangers it poses.
First of all, exploring Venus would give us a better understanding of this planet and why it is important we study it. On the planet surface of Venus the tempertures average over 800 degrees, and because of the dense atmosphere most forms of light cannot be penetrated. In the article it states, ""If our sister planet is so inhospitable, why are scientists even discussing further visits to its surface? Astromomers are fascinated by Venus becuase it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system...recall that Venus can sometimes be our nearest option for a planetary visit, a crucial consideration given the long time frames of space travel."" With the author adding this in his article it proves that studying Venus could benefit the human race in the long run.
Second of all, Venus is the closest planet to Earth. This gives Earth advantages of being able to send out a spacecraft to land on Venus. The article says, ""Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size, and occasionally the closest in distance too, Eath, Venus, and Mars, our other planetary neighbor, orbit the sun at different speeds. These differences in speed mean that sometimes we are closer to Mars and other times to Venus. Because Venus is sometimes right around the corner...humans have sent numerous spacecrafts to land on this cloud-draped world."" With this in the article it shows that being able to send out spacecraft to Venus expands the curiosity and imagination of scientists wanting to explore Venus.
Finally, Venus is the most Earth- like planet in the solar system. In the artice it describes, ""Long ago, Venus was provably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Eath. Today, Venus still has some features that are analogous to those on Earth. The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters."" This proves that Venus could of been just like Earth today.
In conclusion, the authors suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despute the dangers it presents. The author gives us evidence of why its important such as, we would expand our understanding of Venus, it is the closest planet to Earth, and its the most Earth-like planet in the solar system.

You have a lot of free time after you clean the stalls, feed, water and groom the animals. With a lot of free time on your hands you have a lot of time to play games such as, Volleyball, Baseball and other games. A cool thing I have learned about being a Seagoing Cowboy is like me, If you turn 18 while on The Seagoing Cowboy progam, and you're able to be drafted, if you do manage to get picked, being on the Seagoing Cowboys Program counts as Military service.
When you join the Seagoing Cowboys you help people in need. You help people in need of food, and suplies to survive. Being a Seagoing Cowboy opens the world up to you and makes you relise that there all many people all over the world that need help. The UNRRA signed people who didn't have very good jobs or good pay and made them Seagoing Cowboys to help others trying to recover from wars and other disators.
While being a Seagoing Cowboy I had to check on the animals every hour to three hours. Cleaning stalls and feeding all the animals takes up a long period of time. You had to get down loads of bales of hay and oats which ment you had ot be strong. You also need to be careful around the ship and being on the ship, you could get hurt by one of the animals or something could happen to you like what happend to me, I fell down a slippery ladder and got caught by a metal peice hanging on the boat, I did crack a few ribs but I didn't fall into the ocean.
It takes long periods of time to go from country to country or from state to state, or even to the other side of the world to help someone in need, so you need a lot of paitcene for those long periods of time being a Seagoing Cowboy. Caring for the animals while going to diffrenet places kept me very busy, whilst still having planty of free time while abord the SS Charles W. Wooster.

Venus is the second planet from our sun, which makes it easier to see from Earth compared to all the other planets. In this article the author uses the dangers and the old projects to prove that Venus is a worthy pursuit.
The author uses the dangers of studying Venus by using past experiences of traveling to Venus to prove that yes it has its risks, but it is worth it at the end. The author uses past experiences by stating in paragraph two ""Each previous mission was unmanned, and for good reason, since no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours. Maybe this issue explains why not a single spaceship has touched down on Venus in more than three decades. Numerous factors contribute to Venus's reputation as a challenging planet for hunams to study, despite its proximity to us."" This quote helps prove that landing on Venus has been a big challenge, but scientist are willing to overcome these challenges despite the dangers. The authour also states in paragraph six that "" Scientists seeking to conduct a thorough mission to understand Venus would need to get up close and personal despite the risks. Or maybe we should think of them as challenges. Many researchers are working on innovations that would allow our machines to last long enough to contribute meaningfully to our knowledge of Venus"". This statement also helps prove the point that exploring Venus more is worth taking the risk because researchers are working on innovations to help the trips be more efficent. Which helps the author support the idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers.
The author also uses old projects to help support the idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers. The author claims in paragraph seven ""Another project is looking back to an old technology called mechanical computers. The devices were first envisioned in the 1800s and played an important role in the 1940s during World War II. The thought of computers existing in those days may sound shocking, but these devices make calculations by using gears and levers and do not require electronics at all. Modern computers are enormously powerful, flexible, and quick, but tend to be more delicate when it comes to extreme physical conditions."" This passage suggest that by the use of mechanical parts can be made more resistant or could be adjusted to pressure, heat, and other things. By tweaking this the author suggest that studying Venus is worthy pursit.
In the article the author uses the dangers and old projects to prove that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit. Also by studying Veuns there could be alot more things discoverd by that panet.

Since the principal has brought it to the schools attention that he will pass a rule that will effect the students everyday life. He wants us to chose if we want the change or not. Everyone in my school has voted and both sides are tied, so they want me to give the final say on the matter. I agree with this change because, it may provide experience in my future, it can expand my social and teamwork skills, plus it can tell me if I enjoy the club or activity that I signed up for.
The first reason I agree with the principals decision is because, it can expand my social and teamwork skills. One example it can improve my teamwork skills is by joining the student council and make big school board decisions with my team. Another example is that garden club can boost my social skills and find common interests with other people in a calm environment. And when I am older these skills will be important when you have a job of my own.
The second reason I agree with the principal is because, it will provide some experience in the future. One example is how it can provide some experience is by going to a club or activity where it explains important information about college and jobs. Another example is if I want to learn how to play chess with another person in the future then I would want to sign up for a chess club. There are many clubs to help and to guide other teens on the right path if they give it a chance.
The last reason I agree with the principles decision is because, it can tell me what I like and what I do not like as hobbies. One example is, when I was in forth or fifth grade I was in girl scouts. I did not like earning patches, so I stopped going to it. Another example is in seventh grade I found a club based on college and I loved it so I wanted to go to more activists like it.

FEE59DA64E91,"Fighting, drama, bullies, and irritated teachers are all factors of attending public school. We live in a society where social anxiety and depression are now a common problem. Everyday, somewhere in the world, a child is diagnosed with anxiety. Attending a public school can worsen the symptoms of the mental illness. Anxiety can have major effects on your body including; panic attacks, depressive spells, anger outburst, crying episodes, and nausea. Drama and fighting can be an easy trigger for a student with the mental illness, and for an unknown reason, public schools have a lot of drama. Most drama comes from bullying, the popular girls give the smart girls a hard time. The typical teenage ""movie"". Bullying is a serious matter, we lose at least 10 children a day due to bullying. When someone is mean to you over and over again, you begin to believe that it is your fault, which can cause negative thoughts in a young persons mind. The suicide rate in the past 20 years is higher than ever. Most of the recorded suicides have to deal with bullying. Doing classes from home sounds like a positive way to keep physical bullying at a minimum.
I understand waking up early, not getting enough sleep, didnt get a chance to have your morning coffee, or even you're still a little bit sleepy can have a negative effect on ones attitude. I believe teachers suffer with this reality more than the students. Their day can begin as early as 5 am!
School usually starts around 7am-8am, and when students arrive, some carry mean and ugly attitudes with them. The often take out stress or anger from other things on teachers who are already not having the best of days. In return, if being sent to the office isn't occurring, teachers will scream and fuss at the class causing a chain reaction of bad energy.
Doing online classes doesn't sound half as bad when you hear you get to go to school in your pj's. I remember having ""spirit week"" at school, and we would have special day where we did different things. My favorite day was always ""Pajama Day"". Remaining comfy and calm can relieve stress from a student, which is why school from home sounds like a pretty good idea.

Students get extremely irritated when they feel like they are being rushed in or out of a subject, which can cause a lot of hostility or sadness. I believe this can take a lot of the stress school applies away.
I do understand that with doing school from the comfort of your own home comes with some cons as well, such as shielding children from a reality they soon will face. I am also aware that not all children have such access to these things such as; WiFi, a laptop, school supplies at home, or a good support system at home. I do believe that the ""one-on-one"" time a child will receive is extremely beneficial. The student will not have to worry about being left behind or being confused. They will have the time to understand while working at their own pace. Allowing the student to have a peace of mind, not worrying or struggling in school.
In conclusion, the whole idea of school from home has both positive and negative outcomes. I believe it will help decrease the anxiety rate, and suicide rates of younger adults. I also believe it will help the graduation rate rise higher than ever. Students and teachers will have more time with family, friends, and themselves. Following the decision of home school, the time it takes the average student to complete school could be changed. Instead of the 12 year average it could be shortened due to the pace students work at with one on one education. The system definitely will have a better success rate with the homeschooling idea at hand.",,668,Distance learning,Independent,Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing.

8EBF990F1622,"So when you are making a decision you always ask other people advice and what they think. If you ask more people then you can see their opinions and have a better idea on what to do. When you ask many people for their opinions you compare it with yours and get a better and more precise answer. Like, if you are getting a shoe, then you ask other people on their opinions on what you should get. When you ask many people you have many options on what to get. You can look at their opinions and see whats the perfect shoe and get it based on opinions and advice. You should always listen to yourself and what you like but asking other people can help you think on what your decision and opinion.
When your asking other peoples opinions, your looking at what most people said. If most people had the same answer its probably a good choice and has reasoning behind it. The more people you ask for their opinions and more options you'll get. That means the more of a specific and better answer. The more people you ask the more it improves your decision. You also feel better on your decision if you ask more people,then you can feel like your doing the right thing. Let's say if your buying a hoodie, and you want to know if the hoodie looks good. You ask other people about it, and if most people say that it looks good you feel good about your purchase.
If you want someone's advice and you only ask one person, that's won't be as much as good advice if you asked many people. If you want to know what song you should listen to, and you ask one person and they tell you something way different from yours, and which you don't like. It wouldn't be a good option for you. If you ask 10 people and they give you a lot of variety you can have options. It better because if you ask one person you have no variety, but if you ask more people you have variety and options.
It's just better to ask multiple people for their opinions then one person. If you only ask one person, you might get a biased answer. If you ask multiple people, maybe a few are biased but you've still got a few other who won't have a biased answer. When your doing a experiment you do many trials because one might mess up, and if do a few trials one will succeed and will have a precise answer. It's the same thing with this that you need more than one opinion and that if you want a precise answer.
In conclusion, I think that if you were to ask someone advice, then you should ask multiple people for their opinions to make a better choice. It has helps your decision and gives you options and leads to a more precise answer.

Well if you don't know what it is it's a group of 538 people who vote for the next president of the United States. But I don't think we should vote for a president like this. Now your wondering, why dosent this guy like the way voting is set up? Let me tell what I think it should be.
First of all I think it removes our voting right as an American citizen. Some of you are probably asking yourselfe, ""how does this remove your right to vote?"" Well you see if the Electoral college votes and whoever they vote for wins. Your basically voting for nothing because the Electoral College is basically the vote that counts twords the election.
Another thing I would want to change is if the Electoral College is the main vote we should just not vote. Whats the point in wasting our time to vote if it doesent even count. I thi9nk voting should be by popular vote because it lets the citizens choose who they want there leader to be.
Finally I think If we could choose the president it would be better becuse the people would get what they want. If they dont get to choose there leader than there is no point in doing this stuff at all. This should be a real democracy and let the people vote.

C48A5F0197E5,"After reading the article, ""The Challenge of Exploring Venus"" I have been asked to tell weather or not i think the author did a good job supporting and evaluating his ideas. As i read through the text i looked for key moments that stood out. This author beleives it is right and just to continue our missions to try and explore our neighboring planet. I feel that he does a very good job backing up his statement because he has an interesting introduction, middle and end. The author also does a very good job explaining his theory through lots of detail and background. Finally, the author doesnt just use his knowledge but he goes out there and finds information from experts. To me, those are three componets that will really prove what you believe in.
The article starts out with some basic background information to get you hooked onto the topic. It reads, ""IN our solar system, Venus is the second planet from our sun. While Venus is simple to see from the distant but safe vantage point from earth, it has proved a very challenging place to examine more closely."" those few sentences hook the reader on their claim and make you want the author to prove him self. therefore, the author does exactly that throughout the body of the text. He gives detail, background and outside sources but, we'll get into that later. In the end, he raps up the text with his claim once a again and that final kicker that get any strageling readers that dont quite believe him. It states, ""Our travels on Earth should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation.""
Throughout the body the author illustrates textbook detailing and informing. He makes a claim and then back it up with information why. It is all organized very well also. Each paragraph goes over something new and intriging. For example in the second paragraph, ""Venus... occasionally the closest in distance too. Earth, Venus and Mars... Orbit the sun at different speeds. These differences in speed mena that sometimes we are closer to Mars and other times to Venus."" As you can see that quote gives one of his claims and then goes deeper into explaining it. After doing this he will turn around onto a new topic in the very next paragraph. ""On the planet's surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet. These condition are far more extrem than anything humans encounter on earth."" To make his detailing even more interesting he gave his information first and then followed it with his claim. I feel like this way of orginization kept the reader hooked.
If you remember I said earlier in the text that the author doen't just use his own brain to help hsi claim. He will go out and get help from experts known as NASA and are th eleading group in space exploration for the United States. I feel like this is always a key to underatnding and convincing your claim because it can prove that you care and that you arent the only one that believes in the same picture. Paragraph five states, ""The National Aeronatics and Space Administration has on particularly compelling idea for sending humans to study Venus. NASA's possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus."" Shortly after that he goes into detail on NASA's idea for Venus exploration. He uses their ideas toback up is own. NASA obviously is for the exploration of Venus and I htink he chose a very good company to do research on to find out more about his own claim.
To wrap up, my claim in the begenning was that the author of ""The Challenge of Exploring Venus,"" did a very good job supporting his own claim. The author did this by carefully organizing his information into a begginning, middle and end format. he also uses very good detail and description throughout the text along with ideas from a different perspective. This is why I believe he did a very good job evalutating his claim and if he were here right now i'd give him a pat on the back.

9FA8391D4B9E,"Dear Mrs. Principal,
I think students should have at least a B average to be on a sports team or participate in any other activity.
Here are the reasons why I think that and why it's bad to let students with bad grades join a team or activity.
The students might need to pay more attention in school, and sports or activities might distract them from doing their work.
I think the best solution is to only allow students with at least a B average to be on a sports team or do any other activity.
They shouldn't be allowed to unless they get their grades up higher than a C.
Kids might think that sports or activities are more important than school work, so they would just start to forget about school and not care about their grades.
They might start coming up with excuses for not doing their homework or being ready for a test saying, ""I had practice,"" or ""I was really busy last night.""
And then they are going to stop caring about their grades and how they do in school.
Students should only be allowed to be on a sports team or in any activity if they are trying their best in school and getting good grades.
You don't want kids to slack off and do poorly, do you?
I think not being on a sports team or doing any activity can hurt your school work and it will be harder for the kids to stay on task and focused.
Also, if you tell the students that have less than a B, that they aren't allowed to be on any sports team or participate in any activity unless they have at least a B, they might want to be on that team or in that activity so badly that they change their grades and do better in school.
Did you ever think about that?
And then the students can have fun and also have good grades.
I think that it's very important to get good grades because it depends on your life ahead of you in the future.
If you don't do well in school, it might be hard to get into a good college, or you won't even get into one at all.
And usually kids that start slacking off in middle school, don't do much better in high school and might even drop out which isn't the answer.
They could change into bad students and they won't know how to make the right decisions and they would fall into the trap of peer pressure.
When people grow up, whether they are good or bad, a lot of peer pressure happens and it might be really hard to say no.
I think that if you're well educated and you try your best in school, get good grades, and make good choices, you won't need to worry so much about peer pressure.
The kids that are the opposite and don't do good in school, don't care about their grades, and make bad choices, are going to get themselves in trouble.
Thank you for your concern and please think about not letting the students be on any sports team or activity while their grades aren't at least a B.
I appreciate it.
Sincerely,

6DA56FC5AEFD,"Dear Senator,
The electoral college has existed for many years till now and has been used to elect the presidents of the United States of America, clearly this form of electing a president is outdated. Senator, You must change the electoral college and replace it with popular vote because the electoral college is unfair, and irrational.
Senator you must change the electoral college and replace it with popular vote because it is unfair. This is true because under the elecoral college system voters vote not for the president but for a state senator who in turn elects the president. For example a person living in Texas that wanted to vote for John Kerry would have to vote for a slate of 34 democratic electors pledged to Kerry. On the off-chance that those elctors won the statewide election, they would go to congress and Kerry would then recieve his 34 electoral votes. Because of this system voters cant control who the electors vote for, and sometimes voters get confused about the electors and vote for the wrong candidate. The electoral college isnt only unfair to the voters but also to the men and women who are competing in the elections, for example in the 2000 U.S presidential race Al Gore recieved more individual votes than George W. Bush nationwide, but Bush won the election, recieving 271 electoral votes to Gores 266 electoral votes. This is why you must replace the electoral college Mr. Senator.
At the most basic level, the electoral college is irrational to voters. Because of the winner take all system in each state candidates dont spend time in states they know they have no chance of winning, focusing only on swing states. Seventeen states didnt see the candadates at all, and voters in 25 of the largest media markets didnt get to see a single campaing add. the electoral college is irrational because given that many voters vote one party for president and another for congress, the house of representatives can hardly be expected to reflect the will of the people, and if an electoral tie seems unlikely, consider this senator in 1968 a shift of just 41,971 votes would have deadlocked the election, in 1976 a tie would have occured if a mere 5,559 voters in Ohio and 3,687 voters in Hawaii had voted the other way. The election is only a few swing voters away from a catastrophie. This is why you must replace the electoral college due to its irrationalism.
Its quite clear State senator, the electoral college is unfair and irrational, the best arguements in favor of it are mostly assertions without much basis in reality. and the arguements against direct elections are spurious at best. This is why you must abolish the electoral college.

DB9838545463,"A boy's mother is suffering from cancer, so he must return home every day after school and care for her, assuring her that he has arrived back safely and is readily at her side. Cancer is a violent, devastating disease that deteriorates its planned target and spreads throughout the body at a rapid pace. This is an example of a student who has too many preexisting obligations, and a family crisis taking place that can't be ignored. This student may be unable to participate in extracurricular activities. It is common for a child to engage in sports and other social activities, but demanding such a thing is unnecessary and could overload them. When a student is mandated to take extra time to do something, their grades could plummet, they could gain anxiety or depression, and they could lose vital sleep.
When someone who regularly attends school goes through traumatic experiences, their grades go down the drain. They lose focus or simply give up. In their endeavor to help those in need and help themselves, they begin to view school as useless, or not deserving of their attention. Forcing students who are already under a great deal of stress to take part in more things can be their breaking point, rather than nourishment. The person could be brought to a new low: looking to drugs or alcohol as an alternative to stress. They will become dependent on such things and lose themselves. They will veer away from valuable paths that were leading towards a diploma or an advanced diploma. Studying will be hard to fit in, and the student will stop caring about their grades in the vast sea of depression. They will inevitably fail to understand the importance of educational rewards.
Depression and anxiety are similar, but not the same. They can, however, occur simultaneously and for the same reason. Anxiety is the constant fear of what awaits. Sometimes it's random and without reason, sometimes it's a debilitating disorder, and sometimes it's because the person is genuinely afraid. Depression happens to a person with a slower onset: it waits in their mind and causes them to doubt. Sometimes depression causes suicide, a very sad, final act which can't be reversed. Depression and anxiety are both very damaging to the mental health of a person, and can be caused by an inability to grasp the bright side of life. These things can happen when students are overloaded, and they can get worse over time. If someone is told they are required to do something when they can't find it within the realm of their capabilities, they become hopeless. They doubt whether they can hold their own against the mountain of depression, family problems, school, homework, extracurricular activities, and everything else that keeps piling up. Some students just can't handle the extra work, or they can't handle getting to the destination. Some students have to walk home, and they physically can't get to where they need to go for an extracurricular activity. Trying to can result in exhaustion, just as depression and anxiety can.
With all of these things the child is trying to participate in, they can lose sleep. The anxiety can keep them up at night, praying that they can complete the requirements of school. They could be praying that their mother gets through a terrible disease, or that their father comes home. They could be praying that their brother or sister succeeds in getting off drugs, and that their friend doesn't hurt them self. A thousand thoughts could be whirling through this poor person's mind, preventing them from getting to sleep. Consequently, if this person is driving, they could get into a car accident, hurting themselves along with other people. This is yet another reason why extracurricular activities can't be demanded.
These are terrible circumstances: plummeting grades, depression, anxiety, and loss of sleep. Any of these terrible circumstances could be caused or worsened because of a demand for extracurricular activities.

66418ED2289D,"Should summer projects be teacher-designed or student-designed?
On the first day of
Summer Break one is thinking about all the things he's going to be doing, like:relax all day, go on vacation, hang out with friends or family, play video games, and do non-school related things. Suddenly, he or she gets an email from their teacher saying,""I hope everyone is enjoying summer so far, over the summer you will have to do a project on what you have learned this year."" At the end of the email is the instructions the teacher says you have to do for your project. After reading the email one closes his laptop or turns off his phone with anger, because that one teacher ruined his summer.
How are people supposed to enjoy their summer break when a teacher gives them school-related stuff to do. Some teachers complain all the time about them having to grade all types of work when a student doesnt do his work. Teachers shouldn't complain because,all they had to do is not give students any work especially over the summer. Then that will make the teachers job way much easier, because they won't have much stuff to grade and worry about planning to do.
Summer projects should be student-designed because, first of all student-designed projects, our more relaxful then teacher-designed projects. Student-designed projects would show more creativeness, and is more helpful. Second, they can show how much one has learned. While teacher-designed projects are much more stressful, one will have to do it rule,by rule, by rule, one little mess up can lower your score by a whole grade. On teacher- designed projects the teacher also won't really tell who learned more, because they will all be very similar. Teacher-designed projects are also boring, because it's better when you can use your own ideas instead of someone else ideas. Teachers most of the time always give the people with the most perfectly organized project the best grade, when they dont even have good facts or anything about the project, while the people with not that good of organization but a lot of good information on the project get a lower grade.
One might ask, ""what is the reason for having a project during summer because that is when we have a break from school?""
That's just like saying,""why do athletes like basketball players practice during off season?"" If a athlete does not practice during off season, they can probably lose their skill, be out of shape,and not get any better for the next season. Just like if we dont have any projects or work over the summer we can forget how to do certain stuff, and not be ready for the next school year. I still dont agree with the idea of projects during summer though because thats what fourth quarter projects should be about. It should be about what you learned over the school year, instead of having to waste time in the summer doing a project . If one still had to do a project over the summer it should also be optional extra credit for the next school year. One shouldn't be forced to do school work over a time when you are supposed to be enjoying the summer off. One of my favorite sayings is from Allen Iverson when he said,""Practice? Your'e talking bout practice? I am an All Star and you are talking about practice?"" That is what I would think about if a teacher emailed me during the summer and is talking to me about doing a project when i should be resting. What's the point of summer if you are just going to be doing school work?

When limiting car usage it will bring down the pollution rate and help the world. Less people have been driving since 2005, as of april 2013 9 percent less than in 1995. less people are driving in the us but more people are driving in london so they have had days where no one drives but taxies and buses.
people also will soend less money if they stop driving as much because the people will not have to buy gas,change the oil in ther vehicles. maintain the ware and tare that then need everyday will only have to buy tires one a year because they will wear down slower with less miles on them. many people want buy and new cars because they will reilize that the dont need as much as they have been before.

This innovative concept has led 70% of Vauban’s families to live without cars, with 57% selling their cars to move there.

Many car companies that want to develop driverless cars talk about a world where no ever has to buy a car again because of this new and more efficient form of public transportation. This new form of public transportation would have many flaws due to humans not being in control of the vehicle such as accidents and malfunctions.
Google is one of the companies that want to get driverless cars out on the road to try and make the roads safer. But would that really make the roads safer or more dangerous? Google has tested driverless cars already and they stated,""Google cars aren't truly driverless; they still alert the driver to take over when pulling in and out of driveways or dealing with complicated traffic issues, such as navigating through roadwork or accidents."" My question is how does the car know when to alert the driver? Does it have sensors on the front of the car that detect traffic, and if so what if the sensors fail and the car continues to drive at a steady speed right into heavy traffic before the driver has time to react because he was relying on a car to alert him? The same goes for the car detecting roadwork or if a person is crossing the street or someone riding their bike falls into the road. There are too things that could go wrong on these cars to have them out on the road.
There are laws that prevent driverless ars being tested because the government believes that these cars are dangerous to pedestrians and other vehicles. If the government believes that these cars are too dangerous for the roads then why do certain companies want these cars to be on the roads? Car companies want these cars on the roads because they would be expensive to buy and they would make alot of profit if they where able to sell these types of vehicles. They are cars out now that have driverless features such as parallel parking and automatic breaking but these features have failed many times. Driverless cars are driven by computers which can malfunction like all computers do at one time or another.

D058C7DB9BA0,"When people ask for advice they normally talk to more than one person in order to make the best decision. There are many benefits that come with taking advice from multiple people. Seeking more than one opinion helps someone make a better choice because it allows one to gain knowledge, prevents mistakes, and build an open mindset.
Firstly, getting different opinions allows people to gain knowledge. In fact, most people have probably learned that you can gain knowledge from other people, and this is true. When someone takes advice from others, they become more informed about that topic. For example, in 3rd grade when we were preparing for the Reading SOL my teachers, Ms. Generic_Name and Mr. Generic_Name, advised us to use many test taking skills such as highlighting and slash and trash, and in previous years my teachers taught me to take my time and focus on the questions. When it came to the test day I took my time, and I used all the test taking skills I learned and applied them. I even scored a perfect score! Till this day, I still use all of these strategies, and they make me a better test taker. Therefore, it is important to take advice from other people because they help one grow and learn.
Secondly, seeking multiple opinions prevents mistakes. When someone listens to stories of other people they can take that experience and apply it to their own lives. Along with that, when someone takes advice they also form a better judgment. For instance, this summer when I was shopping for back to school supplies I was looking online to find a good quality backpack. After searching for a while, I found this cute black book bag with stars on it, and I really wanted to get it. However, just before I ordered it I decided to look at the reviews. When I read the reviews I found out that the book bag was too small and poorly made. I didn't buy it, and I was able to save my money. Therefore, getting multiple opinions is helpful because they prevent mistakes.
Lastly, asking advice from multiple people builds an open mind. When a variety of options are available it opens different doors for opportunities. Quoted by Generic_Name, ""Ignoring others advice creates a narrow mindset."" This means that only listening to one person's advice limits the opportunities that were available. For instance, in 5th grade when we were signing up for classes I asked my friend what performing art class I should take. She suggested taking band because that was what she was going to do, and even though I wanted to pick chorus, I decided to take band because she made it seem so fascinating. However, I ended up not enjoying band, but when I asked other people about their performing art classes, I was able to see different viewpoints and options. In the end, I decided on taking orchestra, and I really love that class. Which is why asking different people for advice helps make a better decision because it creates multiple options and forms an open mindset.
In conclusion, to make the best decisions it is better to seek multiple opinions because it allows one to gain knowledge, prevent mistakes, and build an open mindset. Therefore, if you are every faced with an important decision it is good to take advice from multiple people.",,562,Seeking multiple opinions,Independent,"When people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person.

7A425A58F136,"When making a decision, sometimes you need to get some advice, but you might not see why that's helpful. Advice is when you take suggestions or ideas from someone about a certain decision you have to make. Whether it's from a friend or family member, advice can help in many ways. The main benefits you get from getting advice are that you see another perspective, you experience varying opinions on the subject, and you see other solutions.
Getting another perspective can be helpful when making a decision because you get to see the issue or decision through someone else's eyes. Opening your mind to new ideas and opinions can help you become a more accepting and kind person, just from this one experience. You might have one opinion your whole life, but if you experience the situation from someone else's point of view, you can see that you might have been wrong. Additionally, even if you don't change your mind because of another person's points or opinions, you still are able to accept their ideas without it bothering you that you disagree. From doing this one small thing, you can figure out how to solve your problem, and you can develop as a person, which is always a good idea, regardless of the circumstance.
You should always seek help from multiple people because it can be even more helpful than getting just one person's opinion. If you get advice from three friends, they will probably all have different answers. However, after hearing those answers, you can debate the different pros and cons of each, and, eventually, you can come to a final conclusion. Whether your solution is one of theirs or some kind of combination, you were helped by asking for multiple opinions. Also, hearing various opinions can open you up to more perspectives, which benefits you in the ways previously stated.
Seeing those other people's opinions can also lead you to see other solutions to your problem. No one has to be wrong or have the wrong opinion, so when you get the opportunity to think about other solutions, it can benefit you and maybe others. For example, if you need a new frying pan, you might think you should just go buy one from the store, but your friend could have another idea. Let's say they have two frying pans, but they only need one. If you ask for their advice, they would suggest that you should have one of theirs as they don't need or want it. Because of this, you would save money and find a solution to your problem, while also helping a friend in cleaning up their kitchen. That solution benefits both of you, showing just how helpful advice can be.
In conclusion, getting advice is always a good idea as it opens you up to new perspectives, differing opinions, and more solutions. New perspectives can open up your mind to help you not only solve your problem, but to be a better person. Also, seeing more solutions can benefit you and possibly others. And finally, getting differing opinions can help you see all sides of the argument, so you can make the right decision. From thinking about these three points, you can see that there are no downsides to asking for advice, especially from multiple people.",,548,Seeking multiple opinions,Independent,"When people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person.

04906D555188,"Do you think students should have to do extracurricular activities? Because in my opinion I think not. It is quite unnecessary and uncalled for. And here is why, it cause a huge workload increase, less freedom for the kids and rides would be super difficult so the school might have to pay for transportation.
If students had to do an extracurricular activity do you think that all their school work would just go away? Because it wouldn't just disappear. Since it wouldn't go away the workload would increase by a lot, and that is honestly just uncalled for though, these kids get enough work. Also if you think about it in perspective the higher the workload the worse the grades, because you are causing the students to focus on different subjects and stuff. I'm sorry but I just disagree.
If you were to be given an extracurricular activity you would be given less time to spend your life as a kid. It takes more time and effort to do something extracurricular. So then you would be giving the kid less time to just be a kid. They would be all caught up in school that they wouldn't have time for video games or going to the park and hanging with friends. That's not what life is about. You're trying to teach these kids about life? Well that would an awful way to help your cause.
Not every kid is going to have a ride, so if the school would like to spend money on that then go ahead. But since most schools don't have the money for that they aren't going too. Lots of schools such as mine have a low budget. My principal won't spend money on anything and it is kind of sad. Also not every parents wants to leave work early to go get their kid, or maybe they're doing something at home.
So in conclusion I don't think students should have to do an extracurricular activity. It will cause a massive workload increase which is very unnecessary.

624586746EB4,"Have you ever finished a long tedious year of school and on the last day you were given a project to do over the summer? Well if thats the case, then you probably know that most schools in the united states require students to complete summer projects to ensure they sustain their efforts in their studies. The main question here is: should these summer projects remain teacher-designed, or should they be student-designed?
While having teacher based summer projects, you dont have to worry about coming up with any ideas; However, this is a project that students must complete during break. In that case, they should be able to have a say in what they do for the project. Summer projects should be student-based because it allows students to have creative freedom, work on what they want, and makes it easier for teachers.
So to start things off, summer projects should be merely student-designed, because it allows for creative freedom. Millions of students would rather not do any sort of project over the summer because it's their summer break; However, if students were given the creative freedom to come up with their own exquisite and unique ideas, then i'm sure student would appreciate that more and wouldn't mind contributing to their summer academic studies.
I personally would enjoy having this type of creative freedom.
While on the topic, if student-designed projects were to become a reality, then allowing students to choose what exactly they want to do for their summer project would great. By doing so, it will encourage students to choose an academic area that they have a high morale in. For example, say i was good in math but not so much in English, in that case i would design a math based project to keep myself from losing that academic grasp. This also ties in with the freedom that students will have if student-designed summer projects become a thing.
But most importantly, don't forget about the teachers. Sure they may get payed a good or decent salary, but a lot of the time by the end of the year their usually all stressed; especially the unfortunate teachers that are stuck with all the trouble makers. Teachers deserve a nice hard earned break too, so by letting the students choose what and how to do their project, it'll most certainly lighten their work load. From what I have witnessed, teachers seem a lot more weary and burnt out by the end of the year; they're just waiting for that nice summer break like the students are.
Finally to wrap things up, In order for students to sustain academic value, summer projects are necessity;
however, summer projects should be student-based because it allows students to have creative freedom, work on what they want, and makes it easier for teachers. Students having freedom to choose what academic course they want to do whether to strengthen or to keep the academic grasp, must become a reality. It will also help teacher out a great deal as well. Whether you're a student or a teacher, I hope that you as the reader agree with this firm statement, and hopefully this new idea will be brought into existence.",,527,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

BD88FF0A458D,"When asked to do summer projects, students normally cringe a little. But, if you let the students choose what the project should be about, then they will want to complete it a little bit more than when a teacher designs it. In this paper I will be explaining why students should design their own projects instead of teachers. Students should design their own projects because they will be more excited and eager to work on it, the projects would be better because the students would most likely spend more time on it, and lastly the students would get to enjoy more of their summer because they would get the project done and not feel like they worked super hard.
If the students were to design their own project they would be more eager to work on it. This is because the people that make the topic usually have some interest in the topic. And with interest in the topic the students would want to work and actually spend time on the project. When a teacher makes a project it is almost always less appealing than a student made project. Causing the students to not want to work on it and learn. this is why a student made project would cause the students to be eager and ready to learn more about the topic.
Furthermore, the projects would be better because the students actually care about them. See when a teacher makes the project, A student like myself would just rush to get it done and get a good passing grade then enjoy my summer. but if students made it, I would most likely spend a little more time on it causing the project to be more complete and more presentable. In return students would get a decent grade, be more informed about the topic, and get to feel better about themselves in the end.
Lastly, students would get to enjoy more of their summer. It would feel like this anyway because the student made project wouldnt really feel like a project. especially if it is a group project, it would just be like hanging with your friends in the summertime. and If you are a really eager student, you could get the project done in the first week or two of the summer then get to spend the rest of your time doing whatever you like to do during the summer.
In conclusion, A student made project would be the best option for the students. Because the would get to enjoy their summer and learn a little at the same time. and in all they wouldnt feel obligated to such a chore during the summer.

D1A866170CEA,"Do you think students would benefit from being able to attend classes from home? There is a debate if students would benefit or not from online classes? Some people believe that students would do better if their classes are at home. I believe that you can learn more if you are in a regular class than just being at home because students can learn from other cultures or more things about life with other friends, if students do not interact with others in a future they are going to be afraid to do it, and finally if you are in a regular school you can do more activities and share with your friends.
First, when you are in a school of the united states you learn a lot from other cultures. Therefore besides than world geography, you learn from your friends countries and how is to live there. Also, when you have friends at school you share your problems and most of the time you learn more things about life with them and how you can be a better person.
Second, sometimes there can be shy people at school because they do not know how to interact with others or how to start a conversation. When you do activities in groups sometimes you make new friends and talk to others became easily than before. However, if students do not learn how to talk to others in public places they are going to be afraid in a future; imagine if they need to make a presentation at work, they are not going to be able to do it because they will be afraid to talk in front of all the co-workers. Learn how to interact with others is important for your future.
Third, it is important to get involve in activities at school; activities help you with your curriculum when you apply to college. Also, if you are in any activity you can share more with your friends. However, when you get involved with activities at school helps you to clear your mind when you have to many homework or when you are stress out about your classes. Therefore, some of the activities give a lot of skills in the thing that you would like to do in your future.
In conclusion, if students do not interact with others or neither have a friend to talk with, and they do not have activities to get involved with other people; students are not going to be successful if they try in a future to interact with a large group of people.

Well I don't think I should be forced to participate in any activities that I don't want to participate in. I should be able to choose whether or not extracurricular activities are for me and what I enjoy to do. There are kids that can't participate in extracurricular activities, kids that don't want to, and kids that are already too busy to participate in activities.
I know plenty of my fellow students that aren't able to participate in extracurricular activities. These students are facing mental and physical disabilities that stop them from being able to participate in activities. There are students that have social anxiety disorder which is going to stop them from being able to engage in anything related to being near people or where they feel like they are being watched. There are students that were born with physical disabilities like missing an arm or they just can't walk by themselves which could stop them from being able to participate in any sport activity. Students also have mental problems like autism or down syndrome so they won't be able to comprehend the activities that they will have to be in.

Maybe extracurricular activities are just not they're thing. So we as students should be able to just decide what we want to do with our time whether that be staying in our house all afternoon or go play sports;work on yearbooks;serve on student council.
Some students just aren't able to participate in extracurricular activities. I know a lot of fellow students that participate in sports after school, or even just have things going on at home that are stopping them form being able to participate in activities. Students could be having financial issues which means it's going to be very hard for parents to pay for any of the fees. Especially for sports because you have to buy shoes for that sport, there are fees that you have to pay just to be able to play any sport. Students could also have after school jobs that they have to get to after school ends. Students could even have sick family members they have to take care of or, just little siblings they have to watch.

1BF9FD62E30B,"When making an important choice, do people ever wonder if they should have asked more than that one person? Do they ever wonder if that one kid they asked had a biased opinion or if people in general have different opinions? When making a big, important choice, people, especially young adults and teens, should seek more than one person's opinion. People could have different past experience with lots of things and might help people decide when making an important choice. People should seek more than one opinion when making an important choice because people can have different past experience, people can be biased, and people can have different opinions about the subject matter.
When making an important decision, lets say adopting a dog. People would want to ask multiple people if this would be a good idea or not. Adopting a dog is a big choice in someone's life and the person should seriously think this through. For example, lets say the person asks somebody who, in the past, had a dog who would always use the restroom in their house. That person probably would not recommend getting a dog. But then, if you ask a little kid who loves their dog very much and cuddles with it daily, they would recommend a dog. Now what if this individual had only asked the person with the bad dog? This person would now be denied their life time companion and emotional support. This exemplifies why people should ask multiple people before making an important choice. Now what if somebody wants to travel the world and they ask somebody about it. One person hated traveling, they were sick,got a bunch of stuff stolen from them,and got lost. This person hated traveling and would not recommend it to the person wanting to travel. This person had a bad past experience. But what if the person asked another person about traveling. This person absolutely loved traveling. They loved everything from the unique culture, to the flying in airplanes, to trying new things. This person had a good past experience with traveling and would recommend it to the person wanting to travel the world. This is another example of why getting multiple opinions before doing something because they could have different past experience. People with different past experience will have different opinions on certain matters.
People have biased opinions about certain matters. Imagine if a person is trying to open a farm, but the person's best friend hates all farmers. The best friend has a biased opinion towards farmers and hates all of them. When the person asks the best friend if they should start a farm, naturally the best friend will say no. But if the person asks someone who loves animals and the outdoors, that person would say they should open a farm. If the person had only asked the biased best friend who hates farms, they would now not have a job and place to live that they are happy with. This is one example of why people should ask multiple people before making an important choice because people have biased opinions. What if a girl wants to try out for a football team. All of her friends say that is gross and annoying because girls can not play football. This is a biased opinion about girls who play football. While all of the girl's teachers and family say that is a great idea and the change the school needs. If she would not have asked her teachers, she wouldn't be on the team. That is why you should ask multiple people before making an important choice like starting a farm or joining the football team.
People feel differently about lots of different things, whether they are small issues like shoes being ugly, or big issues like political opinions and whether schools should have dress code. What if someone wants to buy a Cadillac. Obviously, Cadillacs are expensive and the person would ask somebody before spending their hard earned money on a Cadillac. If the person asks their best friend who thinks they are ugly if they should get a Cadillac, they would obviously say no. The best friend has an opinion on Cadillacs. If the person had asked somebody who thinks Cadillacs are amazing, they would say to buy it. This is an example of why asking multiple people before making a choice is good because they might have different opinions. If someone wants to open a donut shop, but their uncle hates donuts. When they ask their uncle if they should open a donut shop, he will say no. He has an opinion of thinking donuts taste gross. But when they ask their sister who loves all desserts and will always support her sibling. She will say yes because she has an opinion of loving sweet foods and her siblings. This is an example of why people should ask more than one person before they do something. The student president might want to start a book club. A lot of students a do not like books because their teacher made them read a boring book three years ago and they have not liked books since then, they have an opinion on books from a long time ago. The teachers, on the other hand, love this idea because they think that students these days do not get enough reading time in and a book club would be a good idea. If the student president would not have asked the teachers if they liked the idea there would be no book club. This is why people should get multiple opinions before they do something because people have different opinions about things.
When people ask for advice, they should always seek more than one opinion because the people they ask could have different past experience, be biased, or have different opinions about the matter. When asking for an opinion in something, always ask different people and different kinds of people. People can have different opinions about things and be biased. Asking biased people for an opinion on something is never good so that is why people ask more than one individual before they make an important choice. In conclusion, this is why people need to get multiple opinions before they make a big choice.",,1045,Seeking multiple opinions,Independent,"When people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person.

A572EAD5ADED,"Dear principal,
I think that the new school policy about students with at least a B average can only participate in sports or other activities is unfair. The reason I think this is because most students have C averages and are great athletes. Also to some people C averages are okay. I think that most people with C averages probably failed a test or didn't bring in some homeworks and the reasons to punish them to not being in sports is absurd.
Sometimes students have a C+ and then it goes up or a C+ and they don't have time to make it up. I mean this never happened to me because I don't make C's or anything lower but telling people that they cannot join a sports team for it is so unreasonable.
Another specific reason Is that people just don't have time or can't study. I think maybe having the team a little later when students get used to their studying and planning , then grades of school athletes might get better.
The only thing I am arguing for is changing the policy from a B average to a C average because unless you don't want great athletes if so then I say you change it !",,205,Grades for extracurricular activities,Independent,"Your principal is considering changing school policy so that students may not participate in sports or other activities unless they have at least a grade B average.

63BC0E332F24,"Dear Principal,
I ,as a SCHOOL_NAME Student, think that having community work should be required. Community work will help not just the community but will also help your self. Doing a little help for the community is not something that should just be thought of as not important. It should be something that people like to do, I mean its your community the place were you live, why wouldn't you want your city to look as great as any other place.
Being a student here makes me proud to be who I am. Helping the community out is nothing to pay for just being here at this school. Without a community this school would not be here, even if it was no one wants to go to some dirty and totally nasty school. Why would you want that, when if every one helps out for just a little while your community would look great and then every one would want to go to your school or your community to live in, meaning more jobs, more money, and more families.
Now I can see why someone would say, ""Help out the community, why would I do that. I have better things to do. That's why they have jobs to clean the city."" Well that is true, but I say that if no one was to help the community why would any one want to come to a place were every is to lazy to help out the community. Which in turn will have people, say like your neighbor, who will need your help with something like putting up Christmas lights up, and you might just say no and say to hire someone to do it for you. The community is a place of friends and families growing up together, not fighting each other.

2A4221CE52DC,"The future of this world is technology, but how far can technology go? Some schools offer learning outside of the classroom by attending classes from home by going online and video conferencing. Online classes are not beneficial to students when public schooling is accessible. The environment of public school is completely different from home, the pressure in order to become better in public schools is not the same as taking classes online. Students would not benefit from attending classes at home because they would cheat, procrastinate, and not make friends easily.
Attending classes from home can easily lead to cheating. Students can cheat on assignments and exams because they have everything they need in their house in order to pass. Books and the internet can both be accessed from home without the teacher knowing the student is cheating. An exam would not show a students learning when they have the ability to access the internet to answer a question they should have learned. Although cheating is already an issue in public schooling, online classes would not lower the rate of cheating. The ability to go on the internet while no one is watching become a huge incentive to cheat. Therefore, public schools are finding ways to minimize cheating in the classroom as well. Public schooling is the best option because cheating would continue to get worse if more kids attend online classes from home.
Procrastination would become a bigger issue if students attended classes from home. Kids would not meet deadlines on time if they were to take online classes. The expectations would be lowered for students who do not turn in, or do, the work. Deadlines to assignments would be pushed back, giving students more time to do what they want to do, and papers would not represent the students capability because they rush to get it done. Having the pressure of a teacher, in person, helps motivate students to complete assignments. A teacher's physical presence helps motivate a student to do well on assignments and ask for help. Students attending classes online can not easily ask for feedback or advice on assignments from a teacher who is not in person. So, online schooling is detrimental to students because procrastination would rise.
Making friends grows difficult when taking classes from home because those students who take online classes are not attending classes with thousands of other students in a public school. Interacting with other people is how humans can gain more friends and become well-rounded. Being versatile can be beneficial in many situations like jobs that require interacting with others on a daily basis, for instance, a lawyer. A lawyer must know how to communicate and persuade the jury to agree with him. Taking online classes forces a student to become an introvert. The only communication the student would have is with the teacher through a computer. Public schools encourage students to make friends and build on experiences. Although this choice allows students to get assignments done when they are not able to attend public school, it would get the work done, but the student would not learn anything.
Public schooling is more beneficial compared to online schooling because students would cheat, procrastinate, and have difficulty making friends. Schools offering learning from a distance by allowing kids to attend classes online is detrimental to a student's success. The environment of public school is completely different from home, the pressure in order to become better in schools is not the same as classes online. Issues in public schools would only rise if students could take classes from home.

2054D2FC64B5,"Dear Principal,
I think you should let students used their cell phones during free periods. It would give them a chance to relax and talk to their friends while they can without being next to them. Also, it will give them more responsibility to turn off their phones when their free time is over. The students would be happier and be able to express themselves more if they were able to choose to use their phones.
Everyone likes to talk to their friends when they can. Letting students use their phones in school would let them do that. They would not have to be right next to the other person and they would be able to ask about school things if they needed to like homework and class work. Also, students would be able to get all of their talking out of the way so they are focused for when they go back to class. Other kids who are trying to be rude to people texting and talking to their friends on their phone would not be able to get into the conversation and get the other person upset.
It would be a big responsibility to have phones in school. Students would be able to use them during any free period they want as long as they got turned off when they got back to class. This would help teach responsibility more because there would be less phones getting taken away. Teachers would also get to see if their students would follow the rules and turn their phones off. Also, if students had to turn their phones off and they did, there would be less phones getting sunk into the classroom and used.
You can tell a lot about a person by the amount of time they use their phones. Some use them every chance they get, and some barely use their phones. Students at school would be able to express themselves more by being able to use their phones and the teachers would be able to know who they are better.
Girls and boys would be happier and even make more friends at school better then they were able to before. They'd be able to relate to other people more. There would possibly be less bullying because they wouldn't be able to see other peoples' conversations and make fun of them for what they say to their friends.
Students at schools always use their phones.

Studies show that a cell phone put drivers at a greater risk of a crash. Although drivers know the risks and dangers of using a phone while driving, people still use it because they want to use it and be able to be in touch with other people. I advise people that are driving to not use their cell phones while driving because it can be a major distraction.
The cases of fatal automobile accidents, related to cell phone use while driving, have risen dramatically over the past few years. Majority of these people are younger people under the age of 25 years old or even younger. The cell phone use while driving causes more negative incidents than positive incidents. It causes road rage from other drivers, traffic jams, and minor accidents. I think that using a phone while driving is underrated, studies show that it is more dangerous than most people make it out to be; teenagers seems to be the worst at it.
Some people think that texting on a cellphone is considered the only thing when they say ""stop using your cell phone and driving"". Using a cellphone while driving means doing everything whether it is texting or talking on the phone. I've learned a lot about using a phone and driving from researching.

Some schools believe that teachers should give their students summer projects during the break to assure their learning. However, schools should let students design their own summer projects because of fun and diversity.
Summer projects should be student designed because of the fun students can have while doing it. Students get to explore things and places and tell you all about it. They can collect rocks and shells from different beaches all around the world. Even write about the types of erosion they observed while visiting different canyons around the globe. Furthermore, they get to display their own interests throughout their work. Can tell you about the different types of acidic and base foods they cooked with. Explain the different types of paints used in the picture they created, the possibilities are endless. Students get to have fun while exploring things they enjoy for summer projects.
Summer projects should also be student designed because of the diversity teachers get. Not every project is going to be the same therefore getting to learn more about the student themselves. Having diversity means that students can express themselves more on things they may like and enjoy. One student may enjoy surfing while the other enjoys canoeing and the teacher gets to experience both throughout their work. In addition, the diverse work may cause less cheating because its each students own experience. Set work curriculum can cause a student to just copy another students work and change a few things not assuring any learning over the break. Students get express themselves through their work letting teachers get a better understanding of them and giving the teacher a diverse workload causing less cheating.
In conclusion, over the summer projects should be student designed because of the fun students may have and the diversity that the teacher may get.

E37D94F9FEB7,"In Europe, a new trend has started. Many towns have banned the ownership of cars. One town that this happened in is Vauban, Germany. In this town, citizens are living lives without a lot of stress. They enjoy riding tandem bikes with their wives and walking alone. In Paris, the act has been picked up. Since it's so popular, Paris streets hold many cars. Now that the temporary law has passed, the amount of smog has dropped dramaticaly.
When cars aren't used, lives are saved. Car accidents happen very often and oftentimes they are fatal. When you have a car, you become able to get a DUI. Owning a car can bring you extensive fines, even when you make a small accident in a fraction of a second.
With the economy the way it is, who can even afford a nice car? Bikes are much cheaper and safer for people as well as the environment. If everyone in the world stopped using their cars for a month, we might be able to save a species from dying out, or maybe slow the desintegration of the ozone layer. In Yosemite, wolves flee from the roads because of the massive amount of death it causes their species.
Suburban cities are working on making everything walking distance. On the weekends, public transportation is free. If you have an electric car or you're carpooling three or more people, you're allowed to drive in these cities. Because of these new laws that are being tested in certain areas, many people don't have their licenses. Many teenagers today aren't concerned with being able to drive, and many adults live close enough to their workplace to walk there. Although the laws restricting driving can seem very restricting, they will save lives and will give society a chance to have a smarter, cleaner, and safer future.

E9363204BCEF,"Generic_Name declared all his students must participate in one or more extracurricular activities. It's not a choice for his students to not participate. What the school's students do have a choice over is which activity they want to participate in. People will agree or disagree with his decision, but it will expose students to new views or angles of what they want to do or enjoy. Students should participate in extracurricular activities because it benefits their social, mental and physical health.
Exposing students to exciting and beneficial activities can open up a new passion! Instead of lazing over homework or moping around their house, children can be brighter and happier to get things done. When students are in an environment they enjoy, it can motivate them and brighten up their day. No one likes sitting in a classroom for seven hours. If students have something exciting to look forward to at the end of the day or the day after, it will push them to get their work done to participate in what they want to do.
In addition, extracurriculars give students a reason not to stay home and isolate themselves. A bunch of children just want to go home and binge shows or movies if they'v got nothing to go to. Especially, when they are bored. School can cause stress, so they'll want to wind down by getting sucked into their electronics. Instead, finding something as relaxing as watching a movie, like drawing, making music, reading, etc. is better for their eyes and won't cause eye induced headaches. But, the only way for them to realize that's what they like, is to expose them to it.
Also, if a student were to choose an outdoor activity it would include benefiting their mental health. Fresh air and natural light is good for everyone and wakes people up. Generally, unnatural light causes headaches, tiredness, and is known for making people lose concentration. Being indoors also can cause a trapped or caged feeling because it would be hard to get up and move without disrupting a working environment. Indoor lighting tends to feel dull and drab, not bright and happy.
When students have a closer similarity (their extracurricular activity) it can give them something in common. Having something in common helps people socialize and discuss that topic. Then, children can make friends over things they both like to do and discuss, plus they'll be able to work together on the topic. If the topic they made friends over was a sport, they can become better friends because teammates have to rely on each other during games. Having a sport as an extracurricular activity also gets kids exercising and it's not always a bad thing.
In conclusion, extracurricular activities are good for students. They allow children to maintain their physical health and grow their social circle. Extracurriculars can also benefit their mental health and get kids excited to get done with the day at school. It also gets them out of the house, but still getting to relax or have fun!

CBF4EA907772,"When people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person. One person isn't enough to help you make decisions sometimes. In some situations you just need more people to agree with or to talk to about something. It is good to ask more than one person because, the people may have more experience, make sure one person isn't joking, and to get diffrent ideas or better outcomes.
First, I would ask more than one person because the people that I'm asking my have more experience. In most situations older people are the ones to go to in situations because they have lived longer than you and most of the time been through more. In the other hand your friends can be the ones that help you make decisions too, if they know you enough they should tell you a smart decision to make. Family is always a good thing to rely on because they know more about you than your friends and I'm sure they would be willing to help out.
Next, I would ask more than one person to get diffrent ideas or better outcomes. The more people you ask is the more answers you will get. If you take the answers and see which one they're more of that is probably the better choice. If the choices add up and they look better than the other that is the choice that you should make. the choice that less or no people picked is the choice that isn't that smart.
Finally, i would ask more than one person to make sure they are not joking. Friends joke a lot so just ask more than one person to be safe. Others may be sarcastic so you may want to ask more people. Not saying that you cant rely on friends it's just that sometimes they might be joking or being sarcastic. If you ask more than one person there is not going to be a lot of people joking. Most people might know what you have been through and tell you the right decision to make.
When asking for advice to make a good choice you should ask more than one person to help you make that decision. It is good to ask more than one person because, the people may have experience, make sure one person isn't joking, and to get diffrent ideas or better outcomes.

F9F927CD8BA2,"Imagine the many things you could do if you participated in a extracurricular activity. There is a wide variety of activities to choose from. For example; Orchestra, choir, FCCLA, FCS, and FFA. If students participated in extracurricular activities, it would help them to open their eyes to new ideas and careers. So yes, I believe that the principal should have students participate in at least one extracurricular activity.
First, you could take FCCLA of FCS. FCS stands for ""Family Consumer Science"". This course will teach you how to cook, clean, sew, and live a healthy lifestyle, you would be able to travel to places like Tennessee, Florida, Texas, and more! You can compete for awards with public speaking and meet new people. The cost for these trips may be a little expensive, but it's defiantly worth you money and time! By participating in this class, colleges may notice your skill and talents and hand a scholarship over to you.
The second activity I would recommend is FFA. FFA stands for ""Future Farmers of America"". In this course, you will learn how to take care of livestock and you will travel to nearby towns and states to compete. FFA is similar to FCCLA and FCS, but the difference is FFA covers farming, taking care of livestock, and it will teach you how to be a a farmer, while FCCLA or FCS will cover cooking, cleaning, sewing, and how to raise a family.
Third, we have orchestra. Orchestra will teach you how to play either the violin, viola, cello, and/or string bass. The violin is high pitched and small, while the string bass is the complete opposite. The string bass is very large and low pitched. The cello and viola on the other hand, are a medium pitch. Violas are around the same size as the violin, and the cello is smaller than the string bass, but larger that the violin or viola. Your instrument comes with a stick with horse hair attached to it. This is called a bow. To use a bow, you have to learn the bow grip and run the bow along the strings.
Finally, we have choir. Choir has four sections split into eight. Sopranos, altos, tenors, and bass. These four groups are split into two groups each. Sopranos one and two, altos one and two, tenors one and two, and bass one and two. Sopranos are the high pitched singers, while tenor and bass are lower. Tenor is a bit higher pitched that bass, but not that much. Altos are somewhere in the middle. Some singers have a wide range and can sing from bass all the way up to soprano.
By participating in any of these activities, you could possible get a scholarship. You could make a career out of the activities. You could be a famous cellist, violist, violinist, or string bass player. You could be a famous singer and go on tour with friends and family. You could pursue a career in farming and veterinary work, or you could be a famous cook like Gordon Ramsey. Extracurricular activities could open your eyes to new careers. I highly suggest entering an extracurricular course, because you could go very far. So yes, I do believe that the principal should make it a requirement to perform in an extracurricular activity.

1359D3CCD936,"Most adults who participated in extracurricular activities say that they have helped them through their lives. Although they might have helped them, some students never had the opportunity to participate in them. My principal has decided that all students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity. I agree with him because extracurricular activities help students learn time management, meet new people, and they learn amazing skills to use outside of school and when applying for a job.
Students who participate in an extracurricular activities learn outstanding time management skills. They have to balance their school work and have to find time for practice and meetings. Also, they lean how to plan for things, and get everything done before a deadline. For instance I have to get my homework early for the days that I know I have practice or a game. Lastly, they will learn when to put their education fist and when to leave practice early to study or do their homework.
Another benefit for students are they meet new people and gain new friends for life. When doing an extracurricular activity you spend the majority of you days with them, so you end up gaining many friends because you spend so much time together. Also you might become friends with people who you might not have normally hangout with. For example I have made many new friends playing softball that I would not have normally talked to them.
Also by participating in an extracurricular activity you learn many good skills you can use when in class or even when you leave school and you're looking for a job. When doing these activities you learn good work ethics, which will benefit you when applying for a job,most employers look for a good work ethic when hiring. Also you learn how to deal with people you don't particularly like, for example you might have a coach you do not like or a teammate who you do not agree with. However you learn to work with them in the long run, and learning how to work with them will help tremendously when you have a boss or co-worker that you have to work with. Lastly, you learn how to work with a team and how to come to an agreement with them, you also learn when to argue and notice when not to.

The author did not so good in explaining his opinion. He mentions only cons through out mayority of the article.
First the author mentions that Venus is Earth's twin closest plant in term of density and sizes and closest to distance too. But this hasn't been much of help, the fact that none spacecraft has survived the landing for more than a few hours. Secondly Venus is covered in a thick atmospher of almost 97 percent of carbon dioxide making it hard for us to see through a spacecraft camera. Then on Venus suface temperatures are around 800 degrees Fahrenheit and the atmospheric perssure is 90 times greater than Earth's. The conditions on Venus are more far extreme than what a human can experiance on Earth. NASA has tried serval ways to study Venus, for example peering at Venus from hovering safetly far above the plantet can provide limited insight on ground conditions because the light cannot penetrate the dense atmosphere. Exploring Venus is a challengeing planet for humans to study.

E02460000D72,"Is Facial Action Coding System valuable to students? Do you even know what a Facial Action Coding System is? Well, it is a program or a system that was made from codes to help a computer identify human emotions. Well, I think that the Facial Action Coding System is valuable to students. The reason I think this is because your video games could have more expressive faces, your PC at home can't handle the complex algorithms, and it can reconize when a student is becoming confused or bored.
The first reason is that your video game could have more expressive faces. Some people enjoy playing video games a lot but what is the point in having this fun video game if your going to have faces that look like they are mad in the game. If the charcaters in game could show expression I think it would make a lot more people into the game. If more people like the video games just because they got expressions then a lot of more people will start buying games. Which means that the gaming stores will get more money, and then the government would get more money. So in conlcusion one of the reasons why it is valuable to kids is because it could make video game charcaters have expressions.
The next reason is that your PC at home can't handle the complex algorithms. The computer system that was designed by Prof. Thomas Huang made the program for a sufficicated computer that can handle the algorithms. Your PC at home was designed not to hold complex stuff on it, it was designed to hold simple stuff. So, if a teacher got this in their classroom then it could benefit the kids and they would probably have a PC that could hold the complex algorithms unlike the ones at the kids home. Therefore, another reason is that your home PC can't handle the complex algorithms.
The last reason is that a classroom computer could reconize when a student is becoming confused or bored. Having this system on a classroom computer would help the kids out a lot. The reason I say that is because what if there is a kid strugggling really bad to understand the problem they are working on but are too shy and embarassed to ask the teacher for help. What are they going to do then, just take a bad grade and deal with? But, if they have the system on the computers in their classroom then the computer can just read their facial expression, see they are confused, and then help them by pulling up a helpful website. Also if the kid is bored and the computer reads that then they can pull up a helpful website for the material that they are working on but is also a website that they can play games on. This shows that the coding system also can help students in a classroom if they are bored or confused.
In conclusion the Facial Action Coding System is valuable to students in a classroom because your video games could have more expressive faces, your PC at home can't handle the complex algorithms, and it can reconize when a student is becoming confused or bored. This system can help these kids in a lot of ways. I think this system will be effective and useful for students in classrooms.

First the author starts by explaining and describing the unabitable conditions of the planet. The author states that ""These conditions are far more extreme than anything humans encounter on Earth;"" Which are refering to the extreme temperatures of ""average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit"" and the ""thick atmosphere of almost 97 percentage carbon dioxide blankets."" Second he follows to counterclaim his points by questioning, ""If our sister planet is so inhospitable, why are scientists even discussing fursther visits to its surface?"" This persuades the reader to question themselves, What is so bad about Venus? or more important What is so good about Venus?

9C52EAA3F005,"Many people think that extracurricular activities are not that important and can be a waste of time, however it can benefit you in several ways just by participating in them. I think that extracurricular activities should be put in schools because students can learn new things, it can help with their communicating skills, and can improve their self esteem. Joining extracurricular activities can be a fun way to help out the school, and have something to do after school such as sports, and programs that can be a great way to spend your time. People can look for activities that suit their personality and will the most enjoyable for them to participate in through out the school year. Participating in after school programs and sports can be great way to develop new skills , it can help you out with school work or, it can keep you healthy and fit.
Firstly, extracurricular activities can help improve your self esteem. Studies have shown that extracurricular activities can make you feel good about your self by knowing how to do something you are dedicated to or, you can be learning or improving in something you would like to know how to do. Furthermore, it can make you happy when you have reached your goals. Other students in your extracurricular activity can uplift you and help you focus and succeed in your goals, better yet, a great way to meet new people and make friends.

Extracurricular activities can also help others learn about each other and their interests on the activity they chose, it can form friendships and bring their group or team together. It can help students to develop more techniques to achieve skills in their activities to become better. Specifically in sports, you need good coronation, so to improve, they practice by using techniques to increase more skills to become a better athlete.
Thirdly, extracurricular activities can improve communicating skills and develop great friendship with others. Communicating is a huge part in learning and when you learn new things you might be unfamiliar with words and terms others are using, so its important to communicate to understand whats going on. When communicating, not only does it help you, but it helps the people around you know how you feel and what you think. Communicating in partner work can help you understand things better because you might not understand someone else perspective more than the other. In extracurricular activities you use communicating skills to make a better teamwork and understand where each person is coming from.

9631D2A1BB2C,"Im going to tell you if the facial action coding system is a good or bad idea. First the process begins when the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face; all 44 major muscles in the model must move like human muscles. Movement of one or more muscles is called an action unit. Then Dr. Huang relies on the work of psychologists, such as Dr. Paul Eckman, creator of FACS (Facial Action Coding System). Eckman has classified six basic emotions happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness and then associated each with characteristic movements of the facial muscles.
The facial expressions for each emotion are universal, observes Dr. Huang, even though individuals often show varying degrees of expression (like not smiling as broadly). Using video imagery, the new emotion-recognition software tracks these facial movements in a real face or in the painted face of Mona Lisa. By weighting the different units, the software can even identify mixed emotions (as in da Vincis masterpiece). Each expression is compared against a neutral face (showing no emotion).
In fact, we humans perform this same impressive calculation every day. For instance, you can probably tell how a friend is feeling simply by the look on her face. Of course, most of us would have trouble actually describing each facial trait that conveys happy, worried, etc.
Yet Dr. Huang observes that artists such as da Vinci studied human anatomy to help them paint facial muscles precisely enough to convey specific emotions. His new computer software stores similar anatomical information as electronic code.
The Mona Lisa demonstration is really intended to bring a smile to your face, while it shows just how much this computer can do. Imagine a computer that knows when youre happy or sad. For example, if you smile when a Web ad appears on your screen, a similar ad might follow. But if you frown, the next ad will be different. A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored, Dr. Huang predicts. Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor. The same technology can make computer-animated faces more expressive for video games or video surgery. Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication, notes Dr. Huang. So computers need to understand that, too.
In conclusion the technology to read peoples facial expressions is a great idea because the computer could help students out if they dont understand the work just by reading there faces.

Thomas Huang, professor from the Advanced Science at the University of Illinos,has invented a Facial Action Coding system that allows you to identify human emotions. Its a great way to stop all the confusion and know if someone is happy to see you. Although its a great tool for everyday life, it's not a great asset in a classrom. Using technology to read the emotional expression of studuents in a classroom is not valuable becausse we should focus on teaching valuable material and its lack of accuracy.
The classroom is simply meant to learn. Evidendently, there is no reason to know what your student is feeling and not feeling.

F19F66A28B7E,"Many parents home school their kids. I would agree that if students took classes from home it would benefit them. Some of my reasons why they would benefit from home is that there would be less bullying at schools. Also, you would catch less viruses and not get sick as often. It would also release stress off students.
Bullying has become a massive problem at schools. Many teens have taken their own life because they would get bullied everyday at school. If we would home school our kids more often then there would be less bullying at schools. They wouldn't have to face that group of people that bully them or maybe just that one kid that shows up everyday to just bully your kid. Some children just forget about school in general and don't want go anymore or they just care less about their grades because what their worry about most is that bully and not about school anymore. Also, I feel that children would get their work done faster and have less stress then other students that go to public schools and they would get better grades because they have more time study. Critics would argue that if students get home schooled they wouldn't get to go out explore the real world. Also, they would fear to talk to people they don't know and only talk to people they do know and that would affect the way the interact with others and could effect the way they attend colleges or interviews for jobs or colleges. Many students feel that you don't need to know a lot of people to be happy. All you need is your family to support you in school and out in the real world. Also, your parents could help you with somethings you wouldn't understand at school. One more benefit of being home schooled is that your would spend more time with your family members and could focus more on school.
Another reason why being home schooled is a benefit is that you would not catch the virus that's going around. Many students get sick because they go to public schools. If your parents would home school you that would prevent you from getting sick or maybe you catching that deadly virus. you wouldn't be interacting with other students and that would be good for your system which means not getting sick as often. If you do get sick you would be home schooled so you could do your work at anytime and turn it in at anytime with out getting points deducted. Critics would argue that many students would get sick still. They could become home sick and would want to go out and still catch that deadly virus going around. Also, being home sick could affect the way you learn at home. Many students could say that if you do get home sick you could you just go to your backyard and just sit their and enjoy the sun for a little while. Also, you would be able to go out and where a mask which many schools don't let you do that. If you are home schooled chance are you wouldn't catch a deadly virus as easy as a public school student.
Overall, students that get home school have more benefits than public school students. They wouldn't get bullied as easy as public school students. Also, they would not catch a deadly virus as easy as public schools and many home school students would have less stress than public school students.",,582,Distance learning,Independent,Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing.

I think the school shouldn't enforce a rule for the students to do extracurricular activities because students may have things to do after school. Instead, the principal should make a non-mandatory after school program for the students who want to stay after school.
I disagree with the principal's idea because students may have many things to do after school. For example, students may have to babysit their siblings, do sports, or simply have lots of homework to do when they get home. The principal enforcing a rule on the students making them do at least one activity makes it so that students don't have time to do what they need to do when they come home.
The principal should make a non-mandatory after school program for the students that don't have out of school activities. For example, Student help, clubs, or sport related activities. That way, students don't feel like it's a mandatory extra 2 hours of school but instead, it's an optional way of taking part in school activities.

8C0EA954AEF8,"Many schools around the country assign their students projects over the summer break in order to keep them learning. It is debated on whether or not the projects themselves should be teacher-designed or student-designed. Summer projects should be student-designed because it gives students an opportunity to be creative with their work, they can learn about and create a project on their own terms, and can potentially teach many students around them.
Most school projects that I've been given, at least, were very boring and seemed more like busy work than a learning experience. For example, in my 11th grade year of high school, I was given a project in my fashion class on the types of garment pieces. The whole project consisted of tracing pictures we had seen in our text book and slides five times over. It seems extremely easy and it was, but it was a waste of 3 entire class periods, going over the same topic 3 times. If we give students the opportunity to create and design their own projects, they will be more inclined to make it creative and fun. Some may argue that students shouldn't be given free reign to just do whatever they want; however, that is not the case at all. Teachers can give some guidelines and their expectations, but ultimately students should be given the power to choose how they want to do their project.
We've all had a teacher that gives strict instructions on exactly how they want their students assignments to look. The expectation shouldn't be to show a clean cut, perfect version of what a teacher wants to see; it should be of what the students have learned and showing their creative ability. No more strict writing reports constantly or boring slide shows of information you've already learned. Examples of a good type of project include poster boards, or book reports; something that students can have fun with. The whole point of a summer break is to take a break from being in school, but the point of these projects are to keep your creative juices flowing. While education is important, at least try to make it enjoyable of the students side and let them choose.
With students designing the project, it gives teachers and students an opportunity to learn something. Yes, teachers went to college for years studying their field of education, but that doesn't mean they know everything. The projects could be a great way to start great conversations and maybe teach future students valuable information. Over my entire school career, I have learned some useful information given to me by my fellow classmates. I wouldn't know some things if it weren't for my teachers allowing us our own freedom to learn and present information in a way of our own choosing.
In conclusion, schools should be giving students the option to design their own summer projects when given the opportunity. The projects are meant to be benefiting the students rather than the teacher and giving them some non-exciting research paper is not going to help them. Giving students a leeway to being creative, design a project that they enjoy and they got to create, and being able to benefit potentially an entire classroom of students will ultimately boost a kid's self-esteem knowing he or she accomplished something even as small as a basic summer project.",,555,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

C28B8FFF66DE,"Dear Mr. Senator, electoral college is a process that consists of selecting electors,meeting of the electors where they vote for the president and vice president, and the counting of the electoral votes by congress. electoral college should not be changed to election. electoral college should be kept because it will help save the tress by saving paper, one wouldnt have to go anywhere because the electoral college is not a place,and because there are 5 different methods of choosing the president.
saving paper is extremely important. paper comes from trees and many animals and wild life have homes in trees. with electoral college one wouldnt need paper to vote, which is a paper saver. the electoral college helps a lot when it comes to selecting electors,metting of the electors and where they wil vote for the president, and vice president, and the counting of the electoral votes by congress. by saving gas one is saving money which can be used for any nessessitites.
gas now a days is extremely expensive,but with the electoral college one would be saving money because the electoral college is a process, not a place, and it doesnt require one to travel anywhere,whch saves gas and money. with the oney saved one can buy the nessessities that are needed. the electoral college offers a lot by just being a process. it helps save paper and money,whch is good for wild life and humans.
when it comes to methods for choosing the presisent and reasons to keep the method there isnt just 1, theres 5! the first method is that certainty of outcome.. it states that a dispute over the outcome of an elecotral college vote is possible and it happened in 2000,but its less likely than a dispute over the popular vote. a winning candidats share of the electoral college invariably exceeds his share of the popular vote. for example, in the elections that happened in 2012, Obama received 61.7 percent of the electoral vote compared to only 51.3 percent of the popular votes cast for him and Romney, b ecause almsot all states award electoral votes on a winner-take-all basis,ev en a very slight. method number 2 is everyone's president. the electoral college requires a presidental candidate to have trans-regional appeal. no region(south,northeast,etc)has eneough electoral votes to elect a president. method 3 is swing states. the winner-take all method of awarding electoral votes induces the candidates-as we saw in 2012's election-to focus their campain efforts on the toss-up states. voters in toss-up states are more likely to poay more attention to the campain-to really listen to the competing candidates, knowing that they are gouing to decide the election. method 4 is big states. the electoral college restores some of the weight in the political balance that large states (by population0 losy by virtue of the mal-apportionment of the senate decreed in the consitutuion. mthod 5 is avoid run-off elections. the electoral college avoids the problem of elections in which no candidate receives a majority of the votes cast.
Mr. senate you should keep electoral ollege because it saves paper,saves gas and because it shows us the 5 methods that should be used for choosing the president. the electoral college offers a lot to wild life and also to humans by savikng trees and gas, which saves us humans money that one can spend on nessessities.

F6FD47E8BDA2,"Smartphones ,like every other piece of technology,have been a two edged sword. They have fused to us. They are the ultimate tool. They have saved lives. They have also caused many deaths. One study done by teensafe. com in 2019 found 26% of car crashes are related to cell phones. Most of these crashes were strictly because of texting. In order to limit deaths and make roads safer,handheld devices that distract the driver from the road should be prohibited while driving.
The first problem is that phones take up a lot of focus. Humans by design can only do one thing at once and this can be proven by a very simple experiment. Try to pat your stomach and rub your head around in a clockwise manner. This is difficult because every time you attempt to multitask,your brain is really switching back and forth repeatedly between the two tasks. This is very taxing on the brain. This presents the problem with texting and driving. when attempting to text and drive,you take attention off of driving putting the driver and everyone else around them in great danger.
Another problem is that holding a phone in your hand physically impedes on the mobility of the driver. In every driver's manual it distinctly states that every driver should place both hands on the steering wheel. If you don't have both hands on the steering wheel,you are much more likely to be unprepared for the fast decisions you will have to make as there is much less traction on the steering wheel. This also forces you to make a greater effort in order to move the steering wheel.
Some argue that the use of phones has become essential to the average driver and that both activities require so much time that they must overlap on each other's time. I would agree with those people. I would say that the solution to the problem in that case are to only take away the use of handheld devices and allow the use of artificial intelligence,such as siri and alexa,and wireless headsets.
The problem of accidents due to handheld devices has been going on way too long. Awearness was not raised enough and people became complacent. I said before that 26% of car crashes happen because of phones,but the truth is that even 1% is too much. We can raise laws in order to stop this trend,but the truth is that this can only truly be diminished on an individual level through positive peer pressure and peer accountability.

7F2C6238F4AA,"Dear State Senator jan,28 2015
I'm not in favor of keeping the electoral college or changing the election by popular vote for the president of the united states because i've been informed that when we vote for our candidate, we are actually voting for our candidate's electors. the electoral college is a process, not a place. Our founding fathers had established this in the constitution as a comprise between election of the president. as said the electoral college consists of 538 electors. each candidate running for president has his or her own group of electors. 270 electoral votes is required to elect the president. The electorals are generally chosen by the candidates political party, but varys by the state laws on what their responsibility are. Presidental election are held every 4 years on the tuesday after the first monday in november. we help choose our state electors when we vote for our president. most states have a ""winner takes all"" system that awards all electors the the winnig candidate. After the election, our state governor prepares a "" Certificate of Ascertainment"" listing all of the candidates who ran for president in your sate with the electors too. so when we vote for our candidiate, then we are really votiong their electors. It should be that we just vote for our candidate and that be just that. the electors do the vote for their candidate, with our votes that we put for our candidate.
Richard Nixion, Jimmy Carter, Bob Dole, the U.S. chamber of commerce, and the AFL-CIO all the one the that they agree on. And its that answer i had in the begining. To be against the electoral college. They want to abolish the electoral college. But they are not alone. In 2000, taken shortly after Al Gore- thanks to the quirks of the electoral college-won the popular vote, but lost the presidency. over 60 percent would perfer the direct election. Whats with the electoral college you may ask? Voters vote not for the president, but for the slate of electors, who in turn elect the president. I want to know who picks the electors in the first place? It really depends on the state who decides. One other thing about the electoral college is that they are unfair to voters. During 2000 campaign, seventeen states didnt see the candidates at all. and voters in 25 of the largest media market didn't get to see not even a single campaign ad. So it is official. The electoral college is unfair, outdated, and irrational. The best arguments in favor of it are mostly assertions without much basis in reality.
The electoral college is widely regarded as an anachronism, a non democratic method of selecting a president that is to be by declaring the candidiate who was givien the most popular votes the winner. There is said ti be five reasons for retaining the electoral college. 1. Certainty of Cutcome, 2. Everyone's President, 3. Swing States, 4. Big States, 5. Avoid Run-Off Elections. its an arguement that the electoral college method of selecting the president may be turn off potential voters for a candidate who has no hope of carrying their state. Democrats in texas, for example or Republicans in california. Voters in presidential elections are people who want to express a political preference rather than people who think that a single vote may decide an election.
So as you can see the reason of what i had put down, the electoral college is one that im not in favor of because it being not fair. and the fact that we are voting for the elector, not the candidates who are running for president. wish that you can see it from my point of view.

I believe that everyone should be required to do community service.
The people of the school need to realize that if you do the community service it not only helps you but also the people around you.
If you were to do some community service it would be good to put on your college and/or job applications.
Just because you are not being payed to do it, doesn't mean that you can't do it. I believe that if a student decides not to do it they should be punished.
You don't have to do anything be and special, you could just start off by helping people take their groceries to their vehicle.
Maybe after they start off with the little things they will realize how much it really does help the people around them.
Once they start to get the hang of it they might actually help more often rater than only doing it when someone forces you.
Maybe if they start off at a young age they will do it more throughout their life.

64403180B6FC,"Dear Mr./Mrs. Senator,
The Electoral College is a process created by the founding fathers of America to choose a pesident by a vote in Congress and by a popular vote of qualified citizens. I believe this is not a very effective process. I think that we should go to popular vote because it allows the citizens to have a vote and it is not up to people that alread run our country and it allows the president to be chosen fairly.
To begin with, the electoral college is not a good idea becuase it allows citizens to have a voice and it is not decided by people that already run oour country. If we resorted to this method, there might be a higher voter turn out because the citizens will feel that they really have a say in who runs the country. They won't think that if they vote for one person and they win, that some lousy people in Congress will come in and make a different decision and go against the majority. This will make more and more people want to make a difference in the country. Then we will have more concered citizens and the U.S. will be a better all around country. As stated in Source two, ""voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president."" That fact is why we should absolutly not have an electoral college. Then if we don't have an electoral college then we will have a higher voter turn out. Then after that, the good ole USA will be a better country than all of the other countries in the world ccombined except for our health and education. That is just one reason why should not have an electoral college.
Additionally, we should not have an electoral college because it will then allow us to chose the president fairly. With not having the electoral college vote on a president, it would make theh voting system more fair and not based on a few people. Then when people try and figure out if they will vote or not, they will think, ""hey, my vote does matter becuase there is no electoral college to spoil my vote!"" This would make for a much better run country becuase the citizens have a voice in the government. The only reason a citizen would not vote would be if they were critically injured or they didn't like any of the canidates. This is just one of the many reasons why we should get rid of the electoral college.
In conclusion, we should get rid of the eclectoral college because it would give the citizens more of a voice and it would make theh voting process more fair. This would make the government and the country run smoothly and a lot better than if we keep the electoral college.

The founding fathers established it in the constitution as comprimise between election of the president by a popular vote of qualified citizens. The thing is the president shouldnt be picked on his personality or his or hers past, they should be judged by the changes they can make and how they can make it better for the people on the out side world. they shouldnt be voted by the fancy no good stuck ups in the office 24/7 bc half the time they dont know good, i mean look at the president we have now.
The process consists of the section of the electors, which they vote president or vice president. under the Electoral collage system voters vote not for president but for a state of elections. They shouldnt have to vote like that , why have the office men and women vote president? When u could have the citizens of state do it. The office men and women dont know what the citizens want or need. There just there to get money and sit on there butts 24/7 and do nothing but make poor decisions as a reference to our president.
The most worrying is the prospect of a tie in the electoral vote. Then in that case the election would be thrown to The House of Representatives , where state delegations vote on the president. There shouldnt be a tie and having to be thrown in to The House of Represntatives. The president shouldnt be selected by valets and posters. they should be picked based apone what there capable of and how they can change the owrld and make it a better and safer place.

F8BD33BC0C9B,"Humankind has always been fascinated with the concept of cars. Motorized vehicles that effortlessly take you from one area to another when compared to more traditional methods such as walking. Everyone wanted a car for themselves to become a part of the innovation. But as time has passed, we now realized that it was naive of us to think cars were going to revolutionize transport, as some of the more simpler ways of transport (bike riding, bus) outshined car ownership in practicality and efficiency.
Now more than ever, alternative transportation methods are being promoted heavily in order to reduce the amount of pollution in the atmosphere. A shining example of this is in Paris, France (""Paris bans driving due to smog"", source two), where the goverment took the initiative to limit the usage of vehicles to reduce the amount of smog in the city.
Paris, one of the most idolized cities in the world, was at a point where the density of smog and pollutants in the air rivaled Beijing, China, one of the most polluted cities in the world. However, after the driving ban in Paris, the city saw a drastic reduction in the amount of pollutants in the air, as it dropped down from 147 micrograms of particulate matter/cubic meter. Not only that, but Paris also saw an inprovement in car traffic, dropping down to 40 percent of what it originally was five days after the ban.
With all this in mind, how does this benefit the population without looking at the pollution reduction? This can also benefit us physically and psychologically. In Bogota, Colombia, a generally congested city, filled with traffic jams and other problems; Mayor Antanas Mockus promoted alternative transportation in the ""Day Without Cars event""(Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota, source 3). In an effort to encourage public transportation in the city of 7 million inhabitants, Mockus promoted an event in which the only form of motorized transportation available was taxi cabs and bus rides. This mean that the people took the opportunity to bike, walk, hike from one point to another. Subsequently, this also indirectly promoted physical fitness and a stress release for people wanting to take the chance to enjoy their day. As Carlos Plaza evidently states that it is a great way to take away stress, while on a bike ride with his wife. Colombia has also opened up new bike path, parks, and sports centers, which is all the more proof that this initiative is promoting physical fitness and psychological wellness.
One could argue that this revolution of alternative transportation could have negative consequences on car industries and other businesses that rely on personal vehicle, and they wouldn't be wrong. But this phenomenon doesn't necessarily have to hurt anyone, as these same industries can promote their time and resources on projects that also promote alternative transportation. Just as well, in recent years, the amount of people getting driver's licenses and relying on personal vehicles has seen a significant decline, such as the amount of young prople driving decreaed 23 percent from 2001 to 2009, or when a study showed the amount of miles driven by the average American peaked in 2005 and steadily declined since then (The End of Car Culture, Source 4). People started to see the efficiency of alternative transportation, and capitalized on the opportunity to make transportation more accessible to everyone. Whether its from the expanding biclycle paths in New York City, to the Bay Area Rapid Transport in San Francisco, these are just a few examples of the steadily growing list of cities promoting more accessible transportation.
So with all of this in mind, there is irrefutable evidence that the more simpler methods of alternative transportation to limit vehicular usage is more efficient and practical. As seen in Paris where the city saw a significant drop in the amount of smog the city contained. Or when Bogota where an event that banned vehicular usage promoted physical and psychological wellness. People opting for alternative transportation is the global phenomenon that benefits us in more ways than we can imagine. There''s no doubt that the older, more traditional methods of transportation out perform personal vehicles in efficiency.

5246D89EFDBD,"There are a lot of bright sides when it comes to extracurricular activities. Some may include college, but if you make all the students in one school participate in at least one.. That's going to be hectic. It's also going to be super stressful. I disagree with this sudden change because, an abundance of kids here have personal issues, the high school doesn't have enough room, and some kids might not want to participate.
You never know what's happening in a person's life, unless they tell you about it. Someone might have to babysit their baby brother, until their mom comes home. Additionally, some kids that go to this school, their parents don't have a car. They probably take the bus, to and from work. So how are they going to get home after school? Exactly. So not everyone can play a sport or work on the yearbook. Some kids seriously don't have time for that. You have to be considerate of other people's problems.
The high school does not have enough room for every kid who wants to play a sport. I personally run track, and I love it. But there's already too many people on the team. I get that the high school has absolutely nothing to do with the middle school, but they control our afternoon sports. And what's the point of spending more money to hire more sport coaches for the middle school when we have some next door. That's a waste of money. So, if you just let the kids who are in 8th grade and want to try out for a sport, do their thing. We could all totally avoid being on a team with 60 people in it. Not to be rude or anything, but let's be honest.. Who actually wants to serve in the student council or work on the yearbook.
When I say, ""some people might not actually want to participate."" I'm referring to the lazy students. You can't actually force us to do anything after school hours. I'm totally sure that is illegal. However, if it's something related to homework, that's a totally different story. Not many people want to do anything after school. You may not see it, but a lot of students here are depressed. Please don't even try to say, ""an extracurricular might help them."" It won't. They need to see their doctor, not you. Let us do what we want in our free time, that we legally don't have to be here at school. Y'all adults can work on the yearbook. And whoever wants to be on the student council, and whoever wanna play a sport. Let them, on their own free will.
Basically what I'm saying is, everyone has a different POV/reason on why they do or don't do a extracurricular activity. You shouldn't force it on us because you want too, without reasoning.

8542D5615740,"Most students would love the idea of being able to learn and be at home while doing it. I do think that students would benefit from doing online schooling instead of going to school everyday. One reason i agree with i distance learning is because you can wake up at a time you would like to and be able to do school at your own pace. Not having to wake up at a certain time to make sure that you can catch the bus or make it to school on time without getting a tardy or an unexcused pass for being late to school. Another reason is the passing and graduating rate would go up because children would be in their own space and wouldn't be told what to do or when to do it.
The reason why most kids do not come to school today is because they feel as if school starts to early and they dont get enough sleep. And the result of that is not being able to focus in class and and causing them to fall asleep in class. Studies have shown that the brain doesn't start to fully function until ten o'clock in the morning,most teenagers do not go to sleep until one or two o'clock in the morning. So when they have to wake up at five o'clock or maybe even four in the morning to catch the bus they wont go. Which causes them to miss important work and classes that they need to graduate.
As a teenagers,they tend to have a lot put on them at a young age. Most of them have jobs or have to look after somebody at home. That isn't including the homework and projects that they get from teachers .Working as a teenager and being a full time student can be hard because you have to balance the two of them. For example if a teen has to look after their sick grandmother because that once was their caregiver they should not have to leave home just to come to school when they can stay home and still learn the same thing they would if they were in school.
More schools should offer online schooling,or maybe even just trying it out to see how many students would actually use it and see if that makes a change in that system. I think most kids would appreciate the fact that people think about them and how they have other stuff going on in their life. Kids would be happier,the grades would appear better and it would relive a lot of stress for not only the kids but the teachers also. Because the teachers have to wake up earlier than the kids do just to be at school and teach when they can be in the own comfort of their home but still teaching. It would help a lot of people and would not cause them to drop out.
Online schooling could also be a bad thing,because most kids stay at home all day and do nothing already. So having them stay home for school could be making it worse. Having them up everyday for school is not only getting them out the house but getting them active as well. Mostly all teenagers are on their phone, in front of the television or playing video games as soon as they get home up until they go to bed. So having them going to school and not being able to have their phones in school is a good thing.
In conclusion, online schooling should be avavbile to all the schools around the world. Not only would it help the students struggling to make it to the bus or school on time it will help them be smarter and better them in all aspects. Their grades will show it, the test scores will be higher and all homework will get done. Everybody will be more focused and not distracted.

3BBF8A0059DE,"Dear, State Senator
We should change the election process for the president of the United States to the 'election by popular vote' method. This process is a lot more equal and very easy for the people.
The 'election by popular vote' method needs to become the newing presidential voting process for many reasons. When people vote today its not just the indivisual people voting its the indivisual states voting as a whole. Which in a way can cause confussion and unequality. The electoral college has many flaws inside its system, for instance ''under the electoral college system, voters do not vote for the president, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president.'' But if you had the 'popular vote' method every single person that voted would have a personal vote that counted as 1. It is aggreable to sya that ''the electoral college is unfair, outdated, and irrational.''
Even though the electoral college is widely regarded as an anachronism, a non democratic method of selecting a president. There are still at least two good reasons to keep it. One being that it ''restores some of the weight in the political balance that large states only ny populaton lose by virtue of the mal-apportionment of the Senate decreeed in the Constituton.'' And the other being that the Electoral college avoids the problem of elections where no candidate receives a mojority of the votes cast.

2F5CC78714C6,"Essay 2: phones and driving
Everyday people die in car accidents and or get injured very badly because they use cell phones while driving. It is illegal in many states and it is bad to use hand-held devices and drive because these actions could lead to vehicle crashes. Drivers should not be able to use cell phones in any capacity while operating a vehicle.
One reason drivers should not use cellphones while texting and driving is because it is illegal in most states. If drivers are caught using their cellphones while driving they will be forced to pay a fine. Fines can cost from $20 to $250 dollars depending on different aspects. This fine is supposed to intimidate people when they use a cell phone while driving. People need to take caution of their surroundings so there are no wrecks; therefore, if you look down at your phone even for just a second a lot could happen which is why you need to be more alert while driving.
Another reason why not to use a cellphone and drive is because there are alternatives to cell phones that are much less dangerous. For example, the earpiece can be used to accept calls and to talk into this way you can keep both hands on the steering wheel. Do not have both earpieces in so you can listen out for other vehicles and your surrounding. Another hands free device is a car kit, if you do not have one in your car you can always buy one. Car kit is basically a touch screen radio and instead of texting you can voice your text to the carkit. It is okay to use your phone as long as your car is in p (park).
In conclusion, you should not use a cellphone while driving because it is illegal, it can lead to vehicle crashes. There are alternatives that are safer than cell phones when on the road. If you normally answer calls or texts when driving, stop and think about your life and other peoples life that you could put in danger before answering that phone call or text.

D08E02A84446,"Dear TEACHER_NAME,
Many students enjoy participating in sports and activities after school. They look forward to it and possibly have a deep passion for a particular sport, activity. It may be a good thing that they have something that they enjoy fairly well but in my opinion I think school is way more important and should come first. I agree about changing school policy that students may not participate in sports or other activities unless they have at least a grade B average. Although many students may have a grade C average I think they can improve and bump up their grade to a B.
To begin with, one reason why I think students education should come first before a sport or school activity is so that they can learn for the future and be able to get a good paying job when their older. The school sport or activity may be fun but students can pursue it after they have at least a B average grade. Having a decent education is highly important and I don't think students take it seriously because they're focused on the sport/activity.
In addition, if students are so focused on something else that they aren't getting good grades then it isn't setting them up well for in the future. They won't be able to get a good paying job when they're an adult. Without a job you don't have money to take care of yourself and provide for yourself. Also, you can't just rely on somebody else to take care of you your whole life, that won't work.
Not to leave out, if students would just simply focus on getting good grades in school they will do extremely well in their adulthood. They could have a elegant house, snazzy gadgets, go on exotic vacations, buy whichever car you desire getting, basically you could be living a extraordinary life. I think that's way better than relying on someone else to take care of you, buy your food, clothes, things you (want), not need. I'm pretty sure you'll have to be really lucky to find somebody to do that for you!
In conclusion, I agree that students shouldn't be able to participate in sports or school activities unless they have a B grade average. In order to graduate, go to college, have whichever job you want or would like you have to have close to perfect grades. Without going to college it will be fairly hard to find a job that will give you good money. You'll have to work your butt off in order to take care of yourself especially your family. Education is SO important and students need to pay more intention in school, not be distracted by sports or other school activities.

C03E6E1AF049,"Have you ever wondered why people ask more then one person for there opinions. Or what are the advantages are to it. There are lots of ways you seeking different prospective but i am going to give you three of the main.
The first reason I believe asking people for advice is good because. When asking more people you can get a new view of others perspectives. Then from there you can ask anther person to see what he or she think. For example if you are doing a project and you are stuck you can ask a friend for his or her opinion on it and possible you can get a different stet of eyes on your topic.
Anther reason seeking multiple opinions can help someone is by.
If you are not sure about what you should do you should ask someone before you don't do it because if it is something bad that friend can save you from doing it. For example if you and your friend are doing something bad you should ask a person next to you if what you are doing is allowed. I f they said it to you now you no that what you are doing is wrong and you should tell your friends that we should not do it and leave.
Finally, the last reason asking multiple people for advic e. The more people you ask the more information you will get because every person you ask has a different opinion. For example when i asked my friends about a Certain topic they all have different saying into it that is why is is important.
inconclution those are all the ways asking people for advice is good next time are stuck make sure you ask at least one person you never know maybe that can help you a lot ",,305,Seeking multiple opinions,Independent,"When people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person.

Also if the principal let us have our own time to use our cell phone then student wouldn't have to argue about it because if we student can't have our own cell phone out then the teacher or staff shouldn't either because it wouldn't be unfair to some student who have cell phones cause they can't check their cell phones. If we have lunch time to use our cell phone then student would really be glad and thankful to the principal for letting us do this kind of stuff. Cell phones are a good help for us because cell phone can remind us if we have to do any home work or check online for anything that we cant find, and the computer/laptop would take a while to load up and start the program but our cell phones would be faster for us to look for some of the home work or school work that we couldn't find. If we turn off our phone during class and only use them for a certain amount of class period then it would be good for us student and what happens if our parents have an emergency for us and we didn't check our phone, sometimes it might be a big emergency for them to text or call us because what if someone in our family broke a bone or pass away, cell phone may be a big help if we need them. Also cell phone can be a help to check our phone or call our parents to remind us things we need and maybe our parents can remind us to bring home some books or some home work for our younger brother/sister to do when they are absent .

E0D39920E805,"Smartphones are one of the best inventions of all time you can almost do anything you need or want on one. Sometimes people are so into these smartphones that they don't pay attention to their surroundings especially if you are using them while driving. Using your phone while driving is not and will never be safe. Not even at stop lights because if you aren't paying attention to your surroundings you can ruin the experience for others by not going when you are supposed to.
If you are anything like me, you like to use your phone a lot and you spend hours on it daily. That's completely fine but if you are using your phone to change a song, check Instagram, etc. While driving you aren't paying attention to what's going on around you and you can hurt yourself or others with you. Phones should never be used when driving it's dangerous not even just for you or the other people in the car but also the people around. If you aren't aware of what is going on around you can crash into another vehicle and you might end up being fine but then they end up dead and it would be your fault and you would get charged with vehicular manslaughter. Respect the law they are in place to protect people from reckless stuff like this.
There are laws in place in order to stop people from using their phones while driving so that they can keep people safe.

40F9DCD1794D,"I disagree with this because the principal shouldnt have to make everyone do at least one extracurricular activity. My reasons on students dont have to do a activity because some students might have anxiety, work around the house, or homework.

Some students do work around the house like some kids live in a farm and they have to take care of animals, and some kids might babysit their siblings. The principal dont know some of the kids went through in their life. For instance, some kids probably got abused, homeless, and foster care. So the principal should ask about how they feel about they feel about the changes of the school activities. Most students dont like sports because coaches push them a lot or there not interested. When a student is behind in school and they have to make up work it takes them time. Some kids dont have time for yearbook or student council.

My experience there was very unique and full of adventures. I made a lot of animal friends. I would recommend this trip to anyone who likes to travel and likes to take care of animals.
One reason you people would like to go there is because there are a lot of animals there. Some of them including horses, young cows, and mules that are shipped overseas. So, if you like animals, you should join Seagoing Cowboys.
Another reason you should go there is because as a Seagoing Cowboy, I have traveled overseas many times and the reason is because of cattle boat trips. I have went on them nine times. I have also seen Europe and China. Although, seeing the Acropolis in Greece was a special visit for me. Also taking a gondola ride in Venice, Italy, a city with a lot of water. I also toured a castle in Crete and marveled at the Panama Canal. So that is another reason I enjoyed joining the Seagoing Cowboys.
Last but not the least, I loved when we played games. We usually played after the animals were unloaded. We played baseball and volleyball in the empty holds where the animals had been housed. We also played Table-tennis, fencing, boxing. We read too, these were all the things we did to help pass time.

757C4090BE0E,"Dear Principal,
I feel that you should require each student to perform at least one community service task each semester. This would help students learn responsibility and sacrifice by having them give up their free time to help out their community. The services they do could be as easy as reading to people with disabilities. They could also clean up the highway, or help remove graffiti.
Many of your students are already doing these things and more. They also feel that it would be good for the school to aid the community. Some of them don't even go outside of their neighborhood while helping. It's just so easy to be a helping hand!
Requiring service community tasks may not help all of the students to become more responsible, but it will make many of them think more about helping others. This is good for them in the long run, for when they become adults. Many jobs require talking to and working with other people. Responsibility will make it easier to do your job. And making sacrifices is something that you are going to have to do sometime in your life. Whether you become a parent, or a teacher, or even a doctor, you will have to give up some of your time and maybe even something bigger. Having students perform community service tasks will only help in this area.
Of course, you will anger some students by doing this, but there will never be a decision made anywhere about anything that will make everybody happy. And only one task per semester isn't much. It's so much better than having them do at least four a year, or something like that.
Thank for using your time to read this letter. I hope this helps you in making your decision about requiring your students to be helpful in our wonderful community.

48F2F2876E3D,"In this article about ""Driverless Cars"" i feel it could be a problem having cars on the roads that isnt operated by an actual person. There could end up being a problem with the driverless cars if they arent ready but the developers dont know if a problem has occurred til its out on the roads. I would think that the developers would wait for awhile just to make sure that nothing major could happen with the car whenever it is out on the roads and hopefully wont cause damage. Some people might be fascinated with cars that could drive themselves but it could be dangerous because without a human operating the vehicle it could crash and damage our community.
Some positive reasons for having driverless cars is that it would be easier and better for people to have them. In movies, they have driverless cars which people think are really cool. If they have driverless cars in the future and something goes wrong, they have sensors so that the driver knows if there is a problem and they have drivers seats that vibrate when the vehicle is in danger, which is a great thing to have, especially if you almost back into an object or another car. Using a driverless car could also be a new way to actually make driving a vehicle fun.
If the driveless car developers wait for another 10 to 20 years on having them on the road, it would be better and much safer because the more time they spend working on them the better it will be and the less problems and damage there will be.
Also, before 2000 we didnt have the mapping, sensors or computers but now that we do we should spend more time try to fix the issues that they have. If you use mapping on a driverless car, it might not work as well as you might think because what would you do if it gets the address wrong and ends up taking you to the wrong place.

There is something so exciting about being behind the wheel because you are the only one in control. Being able to drive your own car car feels awesome. Driverless cars do not get you that same feeling as if you were in complete control. I am against the development of driverless cars, because the driver isn't in control, technology screws up, and who's to blame in the scene of an accident?
There is something so satisfying about being able to drive your own car. Knowing you are in complete control can be a little scary.
Being the person in control can make you more responsible and aware of your surroundings. Driverless cars are not like that, even though they can alert you when there is complicated traffic, you could still doze off or be in the middle of watching a movie. When Google can make cars completely driverless what is the point of ""keeping your eyes on the road"" if the car is already doing that for you.
Technolgy today is very impressive and has come a long way, but still isn't as perfect as the human senses. If you are ""driving"" down the road in a driverless car and you fall asleep.

Well it is a driverless car, right?, so the driver should be able to do things that normaly can't be done when driving. The company of the driverless car might say it was the drivers fault becasue they were asleep or texting. In general there will be conflict between who's fault it was.

1EDE0A7134BE,"Why if someone needs advice they make a choice to go to multiple people? Is that what you would do?
In my opinion I think that going to different people to get advice is good. Your probably wondering why ?
Getting advice from different people is good because different opinions could change your mind about something. If you need advice about relationships, friendships , getting along with someone, and or parenting you should go to people who have experienced things the same as you. When you ask one person for advice their advice may not always be the best choice for you but asking people if your option is a good option that could make you feel more positive about your decision.
Another good reason for asking many people is because it could lead you to better ways to solve issues. Lets say someone is trying to fight you. Would you want one person to tell you advice about a situation that is very serious like that ? You wouldn't want to take the advice because you are trying to get advice to solve the issue not advice to make the situation even worse than what is already is. If you cant find different friends to talk to maybe you could get different trusted adults to vent to them about somethings thats happening. Advice from different people may impact your life because your going to need advice in life all the time. I think that you can get advice from people can be wrong too but getting bad advice can make you think that your idea wasn't as bad as you thought it would be.
This paragraph is going to be about why getting advice from different people can be good and or bad.
Getting advice from different people can be bad because some peoples opinions can make a situation bad. It could be bad people the group of people you talk too is trying to set you up to get picked on becuse they dont like you. They might also try and tell you the wrong advce to try and mess the friendships you have up when you and someone are not on good terms. But there are many pros to getting advice from different people. Another good reason is getting advice from other people may want you to help give advice to people when they ask you to help them , or even if you see someone down and they look sad you should give advice and tell them to ask other people because they may not be sure about what you told them.
My last paragraph is going to be about talking to people that you trust to get advice. Talking to people about advice is big because what you may need advice about may be something you don't want everyone to know about. If you go people that you already know gives good advice are good people to look up to , not only because they give good advice but also because you know what you are talking to them about is private and you know that they keep things private when it is needed to be .
These are my reasons why I think getting advice from different people is important to do. Always get advice from different people",,547,Seeking multiple opinions,Independent,"When people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person.

2976B22ED93F,"Dear Senator,
Many people might agree that we shouldn't have an Electoral College at all, since most of the time it doesn't seem to work at all since of instead just voting on the person or candidate you would prefer, you instead vote for a slate of electors instead of the prefered candidate. This is not the case, however, and in fact, the Electoral College does seem to function. It can be proven in two simple reasons on why the Electoral College still works- certainty of outcome and the simple fact that it's everyone's president.
Foremost, the certainty of outcome can eaisly prove why the Electoral College still works. If we even do go to a system where we actually vote for popular vote, it would work as well as we do right now with the Electoral College, since there will be more disputes on popular vote than on the Electoral College. In Richard A. Posner's article on the defense for the Electoral College, he states in his first reason on why their would be much dispute over popular vote than on the Electoral College, and why it's less likely to happen on a Electoral College. He states ""The reason is that the winning candidate's share of the Electoral College invariably exceeds his share of the popular vote."" It's true, after all that the Electoral College's votes exceed over the popular votes. It could be also said that even if the government actually switches to popular vote, we know it would work since it does not exceed how on Electoral College votes go, which can be also seen as a simpler process of voting. On another note, in some cases, there can be ties between two candidates, as seen in 1992's Election between Nixon and Clinton on the popular vote. To summarize, the certainty of outcome is far greater in the Electoral College rather than the popular vote due to sheer number of votes in the Electoral College.
On a second note, the fact that the american people can vote enough that it's everyone's president is another reason on why the Electoral Colllege does work. The Electoral College works by havng the winner win trans-regionally rather than just focus on just on region that just favors them and only them. So instead of one region getting the candidate that prefers and focuses on only them, everyone can have a candidate that will focus largely on the nation's issues rather than just a specific part ot the country. For example, let's say that the largest population of people in a regon in the United States is the south (not saying it is or isn't, it's just an example). The south is mainly republican, so they will only vote for a republican that will focus majorly on the south. It is unfair for the rest of the regions, such as the Northeast, Middle, Pacific, and other regions of the United States, since they are mainly democratic (not really, it is used as an example) who would want focus on their region as well, too. In Bradford Plumers's article on why the Electoral College should be gone, he states that the electoral college is unfair to voters, since most candidates did not bother with the states they know they have no chance of winning at all. There could be an easy counter argument against this, since those states have probably already made up their minds on who to vote for, like a democratic candidate visiting Texas (where it's mainly republican), they know who Texas is going to vote for, there is no use in trying to convince them when they have already made up their minds, same goes if a republican candidate tries to convince the democratic California, they already know there is no use in reasoning and convincing when someone has already made up their mind. Also, someone can easily counterattack most of the arguments brought up in th Plumer's article, since this was written before the 2004 election, and it has been a decade already, plenty of things could've changed during the course if ten years in politics. In order to make a greater argument against the electoral college, one must have an updated list of facts in order to back it up, as certain things could've changed during a certain course of a decade. During the course of a decade, we seen how affective the electoral college was during the 2004 elections (people who disagreed during the 2004 elections and also agree that the electoral college doesn't work at all have to see the events that transpired before the 2004 elections and the promises made before it also), the 2008 elections (again, if the people disagreed on how the electoral college worked at that time, you would need to look at how people saw change during that time and the amount of younger citizens voting at that time), and the 2012 elections as well (also again, if disagreeing with the electoral college is reasonable at that time, you would need to look at how people reacted at that time and how different events before the election affected the outcome). In a final note, the electoral college is the vote on the people's president is true, and withholds it since it can focus on rather than on one specific region, but the nation as a whole.
In summarization, the electoral college should be kept due to the simple reasoning of certainty of outcome and the voting on the people's president. The reasoning of certainty of outcome can be applied here is due to the simple fact that the votes for the electoral college are far more greater than the votes for popular vote, same goes to the voting on the people's president, since it focuses on the entire nation rather that just one region of the country. Senator, we should be able to keep our electoral college, as it proves effective during the recent elections, and can certainly prove itself useful and reliable during the next elections to come.

DC55E9D28966,"Could you ever dream of never having to drive a car again? Well that dream might be closer to reality than you think. Recently Google and a bunch of other manufacturing companies have been trying to make that dream posible. They are invisioning a public transportation system. That they think would be more safe than having a human behind the wheel.
I would honestly love to live in a world where we didn't have to drive anymore. According to Google their semi-driverless cars would use half of the fuel a normal car would use. I mean come on who wouldn't like to same money on fuel. Now the only thing these cars lack are that they are not fully driverless. Which means you would still have to keep your hands on the wheel at all times incase you need to take control of the car.
How much would one of these cost? Imagine all of the equipment one of these cars have, and how expensive these cars would be? They have tons of sensors a rotating laser on the top of the car so it can locate its surroundings. Despite how expensive these cars are I think they would make the world a lot better. I mean if you have smarter roads and smarter cars then you wouldnt have to worry about accidents.
These cars have seats that viberate when their is an alert. Their is also a windshield display that will alert you as well. Before an error occurs the car will tell the driver when to take over. These cars would be much better on smarter roads. But when you look at it they would have to modify every road and thats to expensive fro reality.

The reason behind this is, he thinks more people will have more ideas, It would help his confidence, and it's always nice to have people looking out for you.
Many people find themselves seeking out advice on a day to day basis. Be it for that assignment you forgot to turn in, or that one sock that you just can't find no matter how hard you look. It's in the human nature to seek advice, or consulting on something they can't figure out. And sometimes people talk to more than one person about there problem. Cause, when someone's in a complex situation, multiple outlooks on it could be applauded. If multiple people are saying the same thing as the last, there is a higher chance of it being the right thing to do. In a way, it's like fact checking.
Some times people when seeking out advice, aren't exactly looking for a solution to there problem. But are looking for closure. Maybe there nervous about there upcoming test, or concert. And just want a helping hand that believes in them, there isn't much better for confidence than a group of people that believe in you. Another reason one might seek out advice from multiple people, may be to have more people looking out for you.

You could be trying to gain more confidence, or just want to know people are looking out for you. All reasons are fine, as long as people are willing to listen.

81D2AB7CB91D,"In ""The Challenge of Exploring Venus"", the author claims that studying Venus is worth the possible risks and dangers, because as science evolves technology and experiments should evolve too. Venus, also called Earths's ""twin"", could be a planet that was actually visited by humans and make the innovation of technology even greater.
The author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite dangers, because Venus could have been at one point our most Earth-like planet and may eventually become a planet that is able to sustain life. Venus had at one point contained similar characteristics like that of Earth, and could possibly be an opportunity for sending a human to another planet which could advance technology enough to sustain life there. The author states, ""Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like earth...Venus can sometimes be our nearest option for a planetary visit"". The fact that Venus could have possibly sustained life in the past means that there is a slight window of opportunity for it to sustain humans and be ""our nearest option for a planetary visit"" again.
Although Venus has harsh condtitions such as a surface of 800 degrees Fahrenheit, an atmospheric pressure that is 90 times greater than Earth, erupting volcanoes, extreme earthquakes and a large amount of lightning strikes, it would still be beneficial to experiment and gain insight on the planet itself and to help innovate technology. The author believes that there will be a benefit to studying Venus because of the positive future it presents for science, ""Strivng to meet the challenges presented by Venus has value, not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself, but also because human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors"". Experimenting on Venus can lead to experiments on bigger things like other planets, more complex questions about life or ""intimidating endeavors"".
In conclusion, If humans can get to the point where they can land safely onto Venus and make it to where life can be sustained, it would open a door to new projects and a better understanding of our solar system while at the same time presenting courage to start new ideas and go through with them.

20E2A9554CFD,"School is a stressful place for teens nowadays. Having to look good, having the best hair, keeping up with friends, or just trying not to start trouble. With these things always plaguing the back of their minds students can hardly stay on task or get to work. But with modern technology there are now more options; using the internet online learning is possible just from staying at your own home. Doing this will reduce students being stressed out from being at school and help keep them focused. Having the option to take classes from home using online or video conferencing will be beneficial for students.
Teens always stress over the littlest of things, so if they were at a place where they are most comfortable it would help them stay calm. Most distractions in the classrooms come from students worrying about themselves wondering what the other students think about them. This takes away from their focus and keeps them occupied in their mind about something completely irrelevant and not about the class. Allowing them to stay at home and take classes from there, they don't need to worry about that since their is nobody to judge them.
Online classes have more usage than just getting rid of classroom distractions. It also provides a way for students to still be learning with issues in getting to school. Missing class is damaging to students learning and because unforeseen events can happen at random times, these problems are unavoidable. It could be weather, sickness, a problem within the school, or there being traffic delaying school buses and parents dropping off kids. With the usage of online classes however, it would help keep students learning even if their is a problem outside of their control.
Now, some people may say that because students are at home they can still get distracted from other things around them. This is a good point however, the benefits still out weigh the negatives. Students will always be distracted by something but being at home all they need to focus on is their work and not their peers around them. Mainly phones are a huge problem but with the help of parents or guardians they can keep their child away from distractions when it's time to work. Now that they are away from all of those problems they can completely stay on task with their work and complete it proficiently
Regular school should still be an option but allowing students to have the choice to choose online classes will help those who believe it would help them more. Even students who believed that simply going to school would help them more could still find benefits from using online classes.

6A290D8D6729,"Dear,State Senator
The Elelction of our country's leader is a huge deal. I am writting to you regarding the Electoral College and why it should remain as part of our Presidental election process,The Electoral college allows balance in our elections,As well forces candidates to have regional appeal,and gives people the power.
What if there was no majority vote or if there were to be a tie? the likeliness of this happening with the Electoral College is very low compared to the likeliness of this happening in a Popular vote. Electoral College vote likely exceeds that of the Popular vote.(source 3 paragraph 18)The Electoral College also gives the Larger states a chance to balance out what they've lost in representation in sanate by the constitution meaning they get to express the peoples voices better maybe as well as the small states who have the right amount of senate per population. Balance is very important in all things for a succesful country if the states aren't happy with the amount of voice and say they get in the federal government then we as a country may face instability as a whole.
Presidental canidates are to earn their place and prove why it is that they have what it takes to succesfully run our country. Candidate must earn regional appeal, although no region as the power of Electoral votes to decide the election,it is important that the candidate has is liked by all regions. trans-regional appeal increases the chances of a succesful president, a president who shows intrests in all of his countries interest is a succesful president.(source 3 paragraph 19) A candidate has to seek electoral votes in all states but espeacially the key ones where the voters actually understand their responsibility and actually listen to the campaigns.
This countrys strongly believes in the peoples voices and their input in how their country is ran. the Electoral college gives that power to the people, it allows the people to express their opinion on who thei leader should be. Even thoguh the voters are actually voting for the electors and not the candidate it still gives the people enough control over their government which prevents a tryranny.
Many may argue that some voters aren't well educated and don't have the knowledge need to make the right choice and that they might get confused and make the wrong choice. But this isnt always true because the candidates make sure to focus on the Toss-up states which can define an election, and these are the people who really focus on the camppaign and unedrstand their resposibility to make the right choice as a state.
The Electoral college with out a question should remain in our countrys system, it keeps the balance in all states and strengthens us as a coutry, forces all candiates to have regional appeal to become succesful presidents, and follows our countrys basis a government for the people and by the people.

There are many things that can benefit from community service, there are also many things that can not be beneficial. One of the things that can benefit from community service is responsibility.

The Importance of Seeking Multiple Opinions Before a Decision
Nowadays online shopping has become more and more common, resulting in the majority of people to refer to the web when purchasing items. However, the items shown on websites may not always be parallel to what it is like in real life. Making a first-hand decision can often lead to something that is unwanted, not satisfactory, or a waste of money. To prevent this, people should seek multiple opinions to help them make a better choice now and possibly in the future. This is why asking advice from more that one person is beneficial and how it helps someone gain the confidence to know that the decisions they make are correct.
Most of the times the choices someone will make causes an effect on another thing. When a bad decision is made, this can lead to circumstances that someone would rather stay away from. For example, a person has spent money on something they wanted, but later realize it was bad quality and it was not what they expected it to be. This does not only put them in a place where they have something that is disliked, but now they have also wasted their time and money when that item was bought. Instead, that person should look up that item to see what other people had to say about it or ask peers who have purchased that item their thoughts on it. This will not only bring them to a choice that they will not regret, but it will also save them from wasting time and money.
The choices someone will make are usually decided on their point of view, meaning that their decision are based solely of what they think. When someone goes to multiple viewpoints, they can see the different perspectives on how people view things. This will lead them to be more open-minded on what they choose to do. Having a more open-mind can then lead to better choices and wisdom for the future. For example, if someone knows that a specific company provides low quality items, they can know that in the future they should not buy items from that company. This means that what a person learns from making a good decision from others opinions now, can also help them make other better decisions in the future.
Many say that you should ""follow your gut,"" but this can lead to many difficult positions. Instead, someone should always seeking multiple opinions to help with choosing what to do because it can insure that they make the best choice. When a person makes a right decision, this does not only give them a decision that they will not regret, but it will also save them from wasting time and money. Choosing the right thing to do now can also help them in the future when making decisions related to their past scenario. The decision someone makes might seem small on the outside, but truly when a good choice is made, this can change a persons life for the best. That is why making a right choice is important, and a person can only make the best decision when they have talked with more than one person.

279E53FA45F6,"In the passage, ""The Challenge of Exploring Venus', the author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit for scientists. The author includes many advantages and disadvantages in the passage. The author is very good at explaing why and how we can acheive this goal. He also explains his stance very clearly, offering advice and explaining both sides. Venus is very much alike to Earth, yet scientists have yet to truly understand the planet. While there are some challenges that his idea presents, there are more benefits and advantages. Exploring and continuing to study Venus would benefit us greatly, both in the present, and in the future.
The author says that studying Venus would be beneficial for many reasons. One being that Venus is very much alike to Earth. The author states that ""Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system"". He says that both planets share many important qualities that we as humans, need for survival. He states that ""Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of like, just like Earth"" and ""Today, Venus still has some features that are analogous to those on Earth. This information shows that Venus and Earth are similar and with more knowledge about the planet, they could possibly visit Venus in the future.
Another reason why Venus should be further explored is to further our knowledge and our basis of understanding. The author says in the passage that ""Human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors."". He also says that ""Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation"". This is very true. Struggles and obstacles in our way or obtaining knowledge should not prevent us from continuing forever, but should motivate us to find another way to acheive our goal. Although there may be obstacles that seem impossible to overcome, scientists can and will overcome them. Continuing to study Venus will acheive just this concept.
How we are going to visit Venus without getting injured by the elements is simple. Although Venus has many obstacles that will make it hard for us to come in contact and learn more, NASA has a great solution. The author says that by creating a type of vehicle that could hover just over the Venusian landscapes, scientists would be able to study Venus safely. Being at a certain height above the planet would prevent unsurvivable conditions and make it bearable for humans to be there. The author does say however, that because they are so high, their vision would be limited. This idea is favorable and definetly acheivable in the near future.
In conclusion, studying Venus is a very worthy pursuit. The author gives many benefits for the continuation of studying Venus and he also gives reasoning as to why and how we can do it. He supports his idea very well with immense amoun of evidence to back up his claim. The universe is hugely immeasurable and Venus is the next door neighbor to Earth.

F197689A74A7,"Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.
Completing a summer project allows students to refocus more quickly when school starts again and ensures that skills students learned during the previous school year remain sharp.
Additionally, the completion of a summer project provides for a phantasmagoria of success throughout the upcoming school year.
However, most of these summer projects are teacher-designed rather than student-designed.
Summer projects should be student-designed because students learn differently, can explore their passion, and can show off their unique skill set.
Obviously, students have different learning abilities and may learn differently from their peers.
For example, students who are classified as auditory learners would not succeed on a hands-on project to continue their education because they prefer verbal explanations or videos to learn.
Additionally, some students are visual learners; they may require to see another person's work in order to complete their own.
Therefore, assigning these students a hands-on project would not be beneficial to their education.
When different learning styles are taken into consideration, it is evident that each individual student is aware of how they learn; consequently, they should be able to devise a project that fits their unique learning style.
Furthermore, assigning a student a project that does not interest them would make completing the project seemingly unbearable.
Students would choose topics that interest them if given the chance to design their own project.
For example, a student who is particularly interested in automobiles would not wish to complete a project on the effects of cow manure on the pollution of waterways.
They, in turn, would not take this project seriously, which would be detrimental to their grade.
Additionally, giving students the opportunity to design their own project would allow the teacher to see each student's passions.
This would benefit both teacher and student because the teacher would learn about the student's interests on the first day of school rather than through awkward ""getting to know you"" activities.
Giving students the ability to design their own projects would allow each student to be excited to explore their interests and present their passions to the classroom when school starts again.
Some would say that allowing the students to design their own projects would cause an issue for the teacher to grade it because each student's project would be different.
However, allowing students to design their own project would give them the ability to show off their specific set of skills.
For example, students who are gifted in vocal music would not succeed on a project that involves woodworking, and vice versa.
Students should be given the opportunity to share their gifts with the teacher so that future projects could be set to their strengths rather than their weaknesses.
On the issue of grading these projects, teachers could evaluate the amount of time and effort that appears to be put into each project rather than using a cookie-cutter rubric.
Students would be more successful on a project that showcases their skills than if a teacher designed the project for them.
Grading these projects would simply take a more evaluative angle from the teacher.
When one considers that students have individual learning needs, wish to complete projects based on their passions, and are more successful completing projects that emphasize their skill set, then one can see that students should be able to design their own summer project rather than complete one that is teacher-designed.
Allowing students to design their own summer project would, consequently, prepare and excite them for the upcoming school year where they would be able to present findings that are unique.
This would then build momentum for the remainder of the school year.
Although projects would prove to be dampening to the students' summer break, completing a project that explores their interests would be less gruesome than a teacher-designed project.

In my opinion, with a lot of hard work and problem solving, driverless cars could become the next big thing.
There are many things that have been done to make this idea become reality.

With modifications on these resources, they could potentually work. Of course, the driverless car will not be 100% driverless. The driver would need to be alert and ready to take control when needed.

60772C514A37,"Summer Projects?
In life you are pushed to improve from day to day why not work in the summer to help better your learning ability. Summer projects should be made by the teachers. Students know less about assigning projects then teachers. Teachers would make the project more reasonable, it wouldn't be a project that has no meaning, and they would make it fun for the students. Teachers are taught to assign students projects they had to go to school for a long time to be able to teach. The most i've seen a teacher assign for a summer project is just reading a book. Firstly teachers would assign projects with meaning.
Teachers would try their best to make a project meaningful for the summer. They will take time and make sure the projects helps them improve students learning abilities. Students would just assign a project that is like draw a picture or do five math problems for the whole summer. Just so they don't have to do work in the summer because they think have better things to do then learn. Although it will be extra work for the teachers I dont' think they would mind making their school better by improving the abilities of students. Other people may say it's a bad idea. Studies say having year round school or even summer work will improve test scores and makes kids work harder. Summer work is a great idea. Secondly assigning a project with no meaning wouldn't help the students improve.
If all teachers made up projects for students during summer it will help them to improve, but they will have some sort of meaning even if its just reading a book. Studies show that thirty minutes of reading a day will improve your vocabulary and your writing ability. Many students don't like to read because they think it is boring. From personal experiences reading is really fun and has helped me improve in many ways. I've only been reading for about nine weeks five days a week and i can see the improvements already. Reading is the perfect project you can take a book anywhere like: on the beach, in the car, on a plane, and on a boat. Reading will also make you have less screen time during the summer. Last, teachers would make projects enjoyable for kids.
Teaches go to college for many years to be able to teach. Each teacher has a different style from one another. Most teachers has this sort of charm to them that makes them entertaining for students. Thats why Teachers should make the summer projects. Teachers have a way of working with kids to make them happy or to make them have fun. Teachers should make the projects for the summer work.
Many people see summer work as a chore. Summer work can really help you but a teacher should be the one assigning it. Teachers would assign something meaningful, something that had meaning, and teachers go to college for many years. Teachers should be he only one assigning work. Students can suggest a project but should never come up with one.

While other students may disagree with this rule I strongly agree with this new decision. This new rule can help students later on with life skills or just finding their passion. The new rule can also help the school with task such as making the yearbook and making sales.
My first reason I agree with this decision is that students can use the skills from their classes later on. If you take a language class it can help with communication to other people that dont speak English. If you want to work on computers when you get older taking a computer class can help. Using skills from the classes you take can help later for jobs when you are no longer in school.

89A1E2B6F0A1,"As a student, I strongly, wholeheartedly disagree with this decision. The idea of forcing kids into an extracurricular activity is absurd and unreasonable. The principal, who is supposed to be the 'leader' of the school, forcing everyone to do something they don't want to do is a dictator-like move. Here's an example for you: Let's say Dictator Kim Jon Un decides everyone in North Korea has to stay after work for an hour to paint portraits of him. Sure, a portion of people may enjoy painting, but overall everyone is going to loathe the extra hour because they don't want to do it. That's exactly what you're doing. Now here's why you should never choose to do this to students.
First of all, students have tons of responsibilities. Besides working hard at school five days a week, students have to do homework and study for tests, for seven classes! They also have chores at home that their parents need them to do, in order to keep the house clean and functioning. Many students even have to work to support their families, even after doing all of the other responsibilities I mentioned previously. It's just not fair that you would force them into something else. Older students may be tasked with taking care of a pet or younger sibling, having to come right home after school and being busy all afternoon and evening.
Keep in mind, these are just a mere glance at the responsibilities they have to do every single day after school. Do we really need to burden these children with something else?
Parents of students may not want their child to stay after school. Students may not be able to get a ride home due to their parents working or lack of buses. This would inconvenience everyone. Students have extracurricular activities outside of school as well, and others have a tight schedule that would crush them if they had to cram one more thing in. Requiring them to do an extracurricular activity would be the straw that broke the camels back.
I personally don't think the principal has a right to do such a thing. You cannot keep students after school against their will. Once the bell rings at the end of the day, and they leave campus, you don't get to control them anymore. Forcing ever single student to participate in an extracurricular activity is despicable; you are forcing everyone to do something against their own will. You may think that you're ""helping"" them by giving them a light push, and you're not completely wrong. Not every student is going to loathe going to an activity, but let me tell you, should you do this, there are going to be kids who will suffer.
I also believe, and many would agree, students should want to participate in extracurricular actives. I know how it feels to be forced to do an extracurricular I didn't want to do, and I was miserable. Throughout the entire school day there was a pit of dread in my stomach that wouldn't go away, until I was finally free from the prison they called an ""extracurricular."" I had zero interest in it, and after it ended it discouraged me to try out other activities. To this day I still struggle with trying new things, all because of that one bad experience brought upon me by people like you, people with the power to make decisions for me.
I know that this essay is not going to completely change your perspective. This is one paper, it's not that significant. You may read dozens of other papers with completely different ideas. Though, I at least want you to think about how the decisions you make affect those around you. Think about the prompt i've been given. Imagine you were the principal. What decision would you have made before reading this essay? What about after? Was I, a child, able to change your mind?
If I was, or you agreed with me from the start, I'm glad that my words hold meaning and have power, because it's something I lack. If I wasn't, and had you been the principal, you would've chosen to force every single student to do an extracurricular, I just hope you know that not only have you wasted my time, but your time. My objective was to convince you otherwise, and get you on my side. Though, whatever your stance on this is, on my side or not, just know that you have the power. No matter how many papers I write, no matter how many points I make, in the end, you will get to choose for me. So think twice before you make decisions like that-- where you get to choose for others. Think about what else is going on in their lives; all the other things they have to do. If you got nothing else out of this essay, I at least hope you got that, because at the end of the day, you will get the final say, because you are the adult.

87055E1EDAC2,"The Sun is blazing, the sky is blue, and school is out. What more do students want? Once summer starts school books are thrown to the back of the closet, never to be seen until the next year. This worries schools since when students aren't learning during the summer then classes have to be provided for students to relearn everything they forgot. This led schools to develop summer projects so that their students will learn during the summer. However, issues started to arise of how they should be designed. Some say teachers should design it and others say that students should design it. Although teacher-designed summer projects would help set guidelines so that the students can learn as much as they can, student-designed projects will let the students showcases their creativity.
When designing the summer projects, teachers most definitely would set guidelines for students to help them, when they get stuck. However, what teachers don't realize is that by setting guidelines they are really restricting the student's creativity. They are limiting what the students can do and for the students to get a good grade on the projects, they would base their entire project on those guidelines. Which would mean they aren't really learning. These set guidelines would correspond with the topics that the teacher assigns. The assigned topics would focus on the materials the students need the most help in. Which in reality is forcing the students to learn. When someone is forced to do something they aren't interested in doing, they wouldn't usually put their full effort in to completing that task. This is the same for students too. By forcing the students to do these projects and not letting them chose what topic to do, the students wouldn't put all their effort in the project. This represents that the students aren't actually learning. This would be the opposite effect of what the summer projects were intended to do.
If the students were to, however, design the projects instead, then the issue of them not learning would be avoided. By making the students design their own projects, they are able to showcase their own creativity and develop new skills. Most students, during school, have a difficult time demonstrating what creativity they have. However, by giving them this chance to design their own projects the students can really put their full heart into it since they would actually have interest in the topic. By being able to design their own projects students can also develop new skills, like leadership. Leadership is when someone is able to take charge in a difficult situation. The students would be able to represent this when they have to take charge to develop their own project based off the topic they chose. Having the ability to showcase their own creativity and develop new skills, students would be able to fully grasp what their learning. Schools then wouldn't have to worry about assigning classes so the students can relearn everything they forgot, since when school starts in the fall students would be ready to tackle new topics.
When it comes to demonstrating why students should design their own projects, schools should look towards the science fair. The science fair is a student-designed project that every student has to do, at least once, in their high school or middle school life. The science fair makes students pick a topic that their experiment would be based off of. When picking the topic, the student is showcasing their creative side since they aren't restricted on what topic to pick. During the experiment process, students are able to develop research skills for when they have to write their background paper on their hypothesis. Since they would need to find respected articles that relate to their hypothesis. Students would also be developing their leadership skills since when doing their experiment things can go wrong and they have to take charge and figure out why. At the end of the science fair process, students can then really grasp the understanding of the scientific design process and how to develop a well done experiment. This would all be possible since the science fair is a student designed project. If the teacher were to design the project and pick the topics, students would have never been able to fully understand the scientific design process.
Schools should make the summer projects student-designed since it allows students to showcase their creative side. Even if having them teacher-designed would help set guidelines the students can look back at when stuck. By having teachers design the projects, students are going to be restricted and aren't going to be able to really learn since they won't be putting all their effort into the project. This would all be avoided if students were to design the projects themselves, because they won't be restricted and instead they would put all their effort into the project. At the end, students would be developing new skills and getting to actually learn. A perfect example is the science fair, where students are made to design their own experiments so that they can understand the scientific design process and how to properly make a experiment. Schools should trust their own students for their own learning at certain times.

926AD76F8E36,"Summer vacation is a time of rest, relaxation, and recreation for public school students across the nation. However, this break is also well-known for creating significant academic setbacks for these students and causing them to struggle in their return to school. To solve this common issue, many schools have started to require their students to complete a summer project in order to maintain their academics outside of school. Although these projects would be more educationally beneficial for the students if constructed by the teachers, the summer projects should be student-made because the students are more likely to enjoy the project, there is a higher probability of the students completing the project, and the efforts of the students to do a high-quality project are increased.
To begin with, the summer break projects should be constructed by the students because they are more likely to enjoy the project. In today's society, many students enjoy creating things that they thought of themselves and were not assigned by a teacher or parent. Consequently, if these projects were created by teachers, the students would say that the topic that the teachers selected for the project was not interesting enough and would not be as motivated to complete the assignment. If these projects were created by the students, they would not feel forced to do the project. Instead, they would leave for summer vacation already anticipating starting this fun and exciting new activity. In conclusion, schools should allow students to create their own summer project because the students are more likely to enjoy it.
In addition, the allowance of a student-constructed summer project would increase the probability of completion by the students. If the students are permitted to complete a project of their own invention, their motivation to do it will increase because they are guaranteed to enjoy the topic of the project. Teacher-constructed projects are not likely to suit the interests of each of their students. This results in a percentage of the students not enjoying the topic of the project, losing motivation to do what was assigned, and eventually not completing the project at all. This can be avoided if the topic of the summer project was student-selected because each student would be doing something that they are interested in. To conclude, students should be allowed to select their own summer project instead of the teachers selecting it because their motivation to complete the project is guaranteed to increase significantly.
Finally, schools should permit students to pick their own summer project because the chance that students will construct a project of higher quality will increase. Students completing a project that they are interested in are proven to spend more time and effort on their assignment. Forcing students to construct a project that they are not interested in is the easiest way to receive a low-quality project. In order to prevent students from creating an unambitious and lazily-made project, schools should permit students to choose what project they will be doing. This ensures that every student is doing something that they will be guaranteed to enjoy. To summarize, the allowance of student-constructed projects increases the probability that schools will receive high-quality projects on their return.
In conclusion, the summer projects should be student-made because the students are more likely to enjoy the project, there is a higher probability of the students completing the project, and the efforts of the students to complete a high-quality project are increased. The projects mandated by these schools will create a new generation of inquisitive and ambitious students. The students who complete these interactive and enjoyable projects are more probable to enjoy school on their return and have an increase in motivation and ambition regarding their academics. Allowing the students to construct these summer break projects instead of the teachers is the best possible decision that America's schools could ever make for the future generations of today's society.",,644,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

6F30A0A740AA,"Teachers has given students an option for summer school, either they design their own project or the teacher design it for them..Students should be allowed to design their own summer project because they will understand it more, get it done right, and you will take your time on it.
If students design there own project for the summer then they will understand it more. I say that because you go to summer school to get help that you couldn't get during school. So of course you will want a teacher to design a project for you to do. But if you find a project to do yourself you will see its much less complicated than the teachers. Plus you want have to listen to the teacher orders because its your own design.
Another reason why is you will get it done right. If you designing your own project you shouldn't mess it up, it should be perfect. You have to trust in your self that you can do it right. I made a project on cars once I got a A+ on it because I designed it myself so everything was perfect. Everything you do is not going to be perfect but when its your piece of work it should be close to A1.
Lastly if you design your own summer project you will take your time on it. Lets be honest, most time when a teacher gives you a assignment that you don't like you will rush through it. If you are designing your own assignment then you will learn to take your time because you would want perfection to come from your own work. For example you won't have to worry about rushing on your research, finding your resources, and even decorating it. Everything is on your own time.
In conclusion students should design there own summer projects to make it easier on themselves. They won't have to rush, it will be more understanding, and it should be a perfect project. Teachers want you to do things their way but sometimes you have to do your own thing. So after you can enjoy your summer break.",,352,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

6726B4680CA6,"With the principle's new rule the school days are getting longer and longer. I disagree with this rule because instead of benefiting the students, it hurts them. By implementing this plan it brakes a rule because schools are not allowed to force students to stay after school unless it's for punishment reasons. When the students are told that they must choose an activity, they are most likely not going to try their hardest and excel. I believe it is wrong to force students to participate in an extracurricular activity out of school. The problems I see with this are that the pools of new students joining sports team and taking the spotlight away from the athletes, the new enforcement does not teach,improve, or prepare us for life, and the issue of transportation.
One of the reasons that this new plan is not ideal is because of the way it takes the spotlight away from the star athletes. By allowing anyone who wants to be on the sports team on, that makes the game not as special for the people who have been practicing for months. An example of this would be an amazing basketball athlete who has practiced, trained, and learned for years having to play with regular people. People who barely know what they are doing and messing around to take away the specialty of the sport and stealing their court time. By letting anybody play in sports it ruins records and can lead to many lost games. It may also result in harsh feelings between the athletes and non-athletes.
Another issue is the new rule is not teaching,improving, or preparing us for life, which is what school is all about. Also, by implementing this plan it forces kids to stay after school and continue to work hard and think without having a any reward, such as a good grade. Getting good grades and learning is the whole reason of going to school, by making us take an extracurricular activity it does not go with the purpose of going to school. A sport or club is not going to help me get a job unless I am a leader, which will be much harder to achieve if so many students are also in the activities.
The last and most important flaw in this plan is the way of transportation. Many families, especially those in poverty, have one car for the family of rely on and the bus is there only form of transportation home. Another reasons students might not have a ride is because lots of parents are still at work. By forcing kids to stay after school it is putting some in danger and parents in a horrible situation. They have the choice of possibly losing job to pick up a student or having their child walk far distances. Since all of the extracurricular activities are not on one day, sending the buses a few hours late does not solve this predicament.
Overall, this plan has many flaws and is not beneficial to the whole school community. I would suggest strongly enforcing extracurricular activities, but never make them mandatory. By making sports open to anyone it takes away the importance and difference from the star athletes. Another thing is the extracurricular activities are not teaching me and improving me for life and none of the work is graded, so it doesn't matter. Finally, the transportation of the students after school is an issue, without buses some kids can't get home. I do not support this plan and I predict it would not be successful.

The more people you ask, the more opinions you get from them, which, could lead you in a good direction. When you ask for advice, the most wisdom you could get is from family, your friends, or a counselor.
Asking people for advice may be good but asking your family is more helpful.
Since there your family, they might know whats best for you and what your going through.
They can help you out by asking if you wanted advice for a mistake you did or something that you want to accomplish.
Asking an older or younger sibling may help too.
Asking can help because most people are more closer to their siblings than their parents.
Getting advice from your family may be a bit more helpful because they can tell you the mistakes they have made in the past and for you to not make that mistake.
When they tell you the mistakes they've made, they will also tell you how you can learn from it. Your family may have given you advice, but also taught you to never give up even when times get hard.
Another person that can give you a different from of advice and wisdom would be a friend.
Friends are truthful so when you ask them for advice, they can give you their honest opinion.
when you ask for someones opinion, they are obviously going to tell you what they think and how it will impact you.

57E8161AEF27,"I think It's a really good idea, And students they will benefit with this idea, Bacuse they don't have to travel to school eveyday, it will be a better option taking the classes only or video conferencing because is soo much easier. And i think is more beneficial beacuse i dont think, Students would want to travel eveyday to school and back.
I think students they will benefit with this idea, because they are not going to spend that much money, In traveling to school eveyday. It will be so much easier taking classes only, because students will have more free time to do their own things, after they're done with all their schoolo work at home: for example; if the students works it will be a better option of taking classes only because he/she will have more time in getting ready for work, and been on time to work.
Reasons why I say it will be a better option taking the classes only or video conferencing, It's because students they don't have to worry, about gettig in trauble for been late to school, Because if students will travel to school schoool, there will be a high posibility of not getting to school on time sometimes it can be for many reasons; for example: traffict issus, parents they might get sick or any other reason, It will be really hard for this students if schools wouldn't offer away to study and learn at home, schools they make it easier for this students who aren't able to come to school, Myself as student i think this is a really good idea made by the school, Bacuse it gives students the oportnity of study at home when they aren't caplable to show up to school for this type of reasons.
I am agree with schools that offers distance learning as an option for the students, Because some students don't have the ability as others students, That has the oportunity of riding the bus to school everyday from Monday to Friday, This students who takes online classes is because they really need it, And they don't have a way of getting to school eveyday , It might be more difficult for them , because they might not have someone to explain them as well as a teacher. Another reason why i think some students students take only classes is because some classes that they like, some school don't have them, and they really want to know about it, Aslo sometimes parents look trought schools to see the classes option they have online so they can apply to see if their sons can takes those classes online to learn about it. One of the major reason why student take classes online sometimes is because they don't have enaught credits, so they have to take classes online, Becuase even if they come to school they won't be able to graduate because they dont have all the credits needed, Some students don't live near the schools to come all the way to school so they decide to take the classes at home.",,494,Distance learning,Independent,Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing.

129B6269E8D3,"In the article ""The Challenge of Exploring Venus"" the author claims that the idea of studing Venus is a worthy persuit, even despite the dangers we may face. The author of this article, however, did not support their claims efficiently enough for others to also support that idea. I know that based on the lack of detail, value, and the previous issues we have face while studing this planet, all prove the authors lack of effectivness aswell.
The author of this article gives us many facts about the planet itself, but not why it would be a worthy persuit to travel there. An example of how the author does this multiple times is how in the concluding paragraph they do not give the examples of our benefits in the exploration of Venus. The author informs us that ""Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation"". The authors reasoning alone show no real support to the idea of why its worthy.
The lack of value and reasoning show that the trip would be a waste of time. The authors' thought on value is that there is insight there to be gained, but did not provide evidence to what that insight may be. The author also said it will lead us to ""equally intimidating endevors"" but that is likley not the fact, these will just take many of our resources and give us no real benefit for our future.
The many previous issues that we have faced while researching this planet prove no point in why we should go there.

AF3A719533E9,"Hey you! Do you want do something good for your school, or even your community? Well it sounds like a plan. Our principal here at Generic_Name, has decided, that all students must participate, in at least one extracurricular activity. With this decision I agree for three reasons. I agree because it will keep kids busy, out of trouble, and help some of us with our social life.
Being active everyday is a huge importance in life, especially fro us and while we are young. And sitting at home on social media is not going to help, so join a sport, to keep you active for at least an 1 hour or more. If you are going through some personal issues, doing an extracurricular activity can take your mind off of that. So for these reasons keeping our bodies busy is good alternative, rather than being bored.
To have a well organized goals set throughout life, is very organized. If you are someone who gets in trouble a lot, think about setting goals for yourself. For instance, you could set a goal for ways you can keep yourself out of trouble and even getting negativity out of your life. Therefore doing the right thing is never wrong, so do something for the school, that could help you set a better pathway for your future goals. Sometimes there are people in your life that could be a bad influence on you, and to let them go out of your life is better for you than them being there and ruining your bright future.
In high school having your career plan is a good start in life. With the start of your career path, the first skill with that is communication. As a result of a good career, having a social life in high school is important. Joining Student Council Association (SCA), playing a sport, and presenting a project in class, is all where great communication can come from. For example, if you are in the SCA you have to deliver important upcoming events, new changes, and plenty more information for your peers. Now think to yourself. . . "" Do I want a great career or not?'
So with the principal's decision I agree to his decision he has made. Just think about it, doing more is always better including being occupied, staying out of trouble, and boosting your social life. The reasoning for my agreement is because it shows some people do actually care about us, and to me I find that very important.

2FAE6DFF45F1,"Imagine being in the comfort of your home learning the material for a class while being stress free. Your learning environment plays a big role in how much learning you actually do. The more difficult the class, the more comfortable you should be while taking it. Students would benefit from being able to attend classes from home because they can learn at their own pace and it can improve their character and work ethic.
Students often benefit entirely from learning at their own pace. It has come times where teachers speed up their lessons to get caught up with the curriculum which is not beneficial for the students. Students do not respond as well to unfamiliar material when they feel rushed so they tend to give up. Also, in a room of twenty or more kids students lack the one on one help needed from the teacher. In harder courses full understanding is a necessity for students. Online courses or video conferencing from home on these difficult courses gives you that individual attention without causing the disruption of others. Being behind in a class while struggling to understand the material and turn in assignments on time can be very overwhelming and stressful. In the end it will do more harm then good. Distant learning can take you one step at a time with no rush into full understanding of material for a course.
Taking a class from home can improve your character and work ethic. When you attend class from home you do not have a physical teacher there to monitor you; therefore, the lack of dictation will cause you to be more responsible in regards to staying on task and being efficient with your work. While in the comfort of your own home, you will have to decide how productive you will be in getting your work done and what you choose to do will show your character as a person. Your integrity will be challenged and your work ethic will increase because you have to be productive on your on terms.
There will be many moments where you face distractions or procrastination. Some may even say you will not get the proper help you need; however, those same distractions and procrastination feelings can still occur in the classroom with a teacher. The environment change is the big difference in the act on taking lasses from home. People may be more productive in an environment their more comfortable in. The learning habits of each individual are different. What may work for one person may not work for the other. What one person takes as to be easy may be very difficult for the other. Home held courses can ensure that your personal needs in regards to the academic field in a particular course are met despite of everyone else's preference.
Distance learning can be beneficial in so many ways. People often find it in their best interest to take this route.

F9E1CD296FF3,"Are cars beginning to go out of fashion? Over the last few years, fewer and fewer people are getting their driver's liscense, and less people are buying cars. That's because walking or taking public transportation where you need to go can be more beneficial than driving. Using alternative transportation decreases stress, lowers air pollution, and eliminates the cost of owning a car. These reasons are causing people to eliminate personal vehicles out of their lives.
To begin, using alternative transportation can lower stress. Millions of people around the world face the same problem every morning and afternoon: traffic. Traffic jams cause people to be late for work, causing their stress levels to go up. Stress can lead people into depression or become tense. Eliminating a car from someone's life can allow them to be happy. Instead of driving, many people are starting to walk to work, or take a public bus to where they need to go. If more people begin to stop driving, the roads will be less jammed, which will lower road congestion, leading to less stress. Getting rid of your car can be a key element to eliminating stress.
Second, walking or taking a bus lowers air pollution. In France, air pollution was so bad, the government set a one-day ban on driving motorvehicles. Instead, residents could take public busses free of charge, or walk. Anyone who decided to drive their vehicle on the day they were banned, faced a $31 fine. Another city in Colombia also started a similar campaign. Government officials in Bogota, Colombia set a one day ban in the city called ""the Day Without Cars"". The turnout was large, people rode busses, rode bikes, or walked to wherever they needed to go. This eliminated traffic james, and lowered air pollution. Violaters of the ban had to pay a $25 fine. Other countries surely will soon do the same thing.
Lastly, the cost to own a car is far too expensive. Buying a car leads to many problems. the cost of paying off your car after you buy it can overwhelm many people. Having to pay hundreds of dollars every month to repair your car or pay for gas can lead you into debt. Many individuals have become homeless because they can't afford to pay for the things they need, such as a car. Without a car, you save thousands of dollars you can use to pay off other things you might owe.
To conclude, using alternative transportation instead of a car can be very beneficial. It lowers stress, eliminates air pollution, and eliminates the expenses of a car. More and more people are beginning to outlaw cars from their lives, and it is helping the world as well as themselves.

E20909405FED,"There are many advantages in limiting the amount of car usage. Many people seem to believe that if you do not drive everywhere, you can preserve the land and it is proven to reduce stress. Another advantage would be that the government wouldn't have to spend as much money on highways and other transport. There is a lot less congestion, and polution without the use of cars. These are all good examples of how ruducing the use of cars could be very good for the environment.
To expand on the theory that a car-free cities are a lot better for the environment, we can say they preserve lands and cause stress levels to be reduced. In the first article, ""In German Suburb, Life Goes on Without Cars"", Heidrun Walter is quoted explaioning that he is ""much happier"" without a car in his life. He also states that when he did have a car, he was ""alway tense"". This seems to show stress levels going down, but that is only one example. In addition to stress levels, land preservation was also brought up. It is stated that without cars, roads and suburbs would be nicer and better for walking. Without cars, cities are also considered denser. Researchers are trying to conduct an experiment with a no car city and see how different and ""better"" life would be, to get more facts about it.
Next, this car-free world could help save the government money. Studies shouw that in recent years, eighty percent of appropriations have gone to fixing and preserving highways for cars to continue driving on them safely. In additon to that eighty percent, twenty percent was provided for all the other ways for transportation, for example, buses. Without cars, we would be saving the government eighty percent of their money, holding on to the idea that areas would be kept in good shape without cars driving on them! Thats crazy!
Lastly, polution is a HUGE factor in this idea. Without cars, we would have a lot less polution and smog. In France, they have a few car-free cities and they states that without cars, sixty percent of smog levels went down in only 5 days! Fuel is blaimed for a lot of polution dailey and without cars, we could have a cleaner air and city in only a few days!
In conclusion, car-free cities could be a very good idea for some cities. We can make the air better, having less smog, spend less money, and have nicer land. These are only a few of the advantages to having a carless city. Even the limition of cars could help the environment in all these ways, you don't have to cut them out completely!

She is a piece of art, so why does this old painting become art? Well if we talk about the mastermind or understand what he is saying, then that may anwser some questions. It can also make us reconsider the technology that we have today.
According to a computer program mona Losa is ""83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry."" In other words the Mona Lisa's intention was actually supposed to make you happy, but why does this make him want to start the program? Well he noticed the way that the computer was detecting her emotions and to began to wonder about science in computers.
The author learing about him then began to think of how it could be changed and what it could do. the author though
Maybe if you smile it could show the happy adds. If you were sad however, there could be diffrent adds as well. After thinking this over and over the author began to think of other things like how video games expressions could be more alive.
Then came the idea of how this could happen and what could be changed. The author mentions that it can't be easy for a PC to just go and reconize it off the bat, but if it were to be programed with basic steps then it might work.

8290407C0F6B,"Most students do not like homework over the summer, so it can be difficult to get students to do the work. Many schools just give students a generalized project to keep their brains working. If you got students involved in the choice of their homework, they would be more likely to really work their brains on it. Schools that require projects over the summer should be student designed because it will increase enthusiasm and expand variety, students will go into more detail, and cheating will be decreased.
First, if schools made summer projects student designed, it would increase enthusiasm and expand the variety from the students. For example, Generic_Name who loves outer space is more likely to put effort and research into a project about space than he or she would about the water cycle. Each student has their own interests, and the best way to reach the minds of all students is to let them design their own project. The originality of the students should not be diminished by putting their creative ideas in a box because we want a generalized subject. Teachers also don't want to read the same report over and over 30 times. Student designed projects would allow the grading process to be more interesting for teachers. In the event a student discovered something very interesting, you could actually do something with it.
Also, student designed projects would improve the likelihood of students going into more detail. Students want the opportunity to expand their knowledge in topics that interest them. Why not let them teach themselves and you something along the way? Students doing a project on something that doesn't interest them would be a vague and boring version of something that could be chosen by the student. In the science fair people aren't given a topic, they are told to run free with all the ideas they can think of. That's how a summer project should be.
Finally, student designed projects would decrease the level of cheating. Student designed projects wouldn't allow for the same cheating as teacher designed projects because the ideas would have to come originally from the researcher. You might think student design versus teacher design has nothing to do with cheating, but there are many reasons as to why this is a component. Say you are a big vacationer and choose not to do your project until the end of the summer, you might just call up a friend and ask them to share their ideas with you. With teacher designed projects, that is very easily done. If you chose your project and did all the research on it, you would be less likely to give up all the information to a lazier student.
Schools should have student designed summer projects because enthusiasm and variety increase, there will be more details on the projects, and cheating is less likely to happen. Students want to have fun over their summer with as little stress as possible. Giving students the chance to design their own projects would not only get their brains working but would allow the research to be fun. Turning a task into an exciting opportunity for learning is what would happen if projects were student designed.

9677669AA32B,"Summer is usually where I have most of my fun. I am always working, playing football, and hanging out with friends. Usually I dedicate most of my free time to things I love doing on my break, but sometimes when I have to do school related things, I like when I get to pick the summer project rather than the teacher to pick it. I think if the students get to pick the summer projects they want to do, it will probably lead to a better and more exciting project rather then a boring project which was required to do.
I think if most students get to pick the summer project they want to do, they will find their topic more interesting, therefore making the project more enjoyable. If the summer projects become more enjoyable, students would actually want to them and not forget or ignore the projects until school starts back again. Especially since students are on summer vacation, most students will not do anything school-related or even the projects, but if they do it on something they enjoy, they would likely do it instead of slacking off. Students who tend to hate school may do projects if the projects are based on something they like or something they find interesting. Most students would actually have a passion and might even enjoy the projects they get to pick to do in the summers.
I also believe the students will have more fun doing summer projects they enjoy rather than what the teacher picks for the students . Since students have more freedom and more say on what topics their summer projects will be on, I think the students would put more effort and more excitement into the summer projects. Projects that tend to be interested by the students can lead to a better projects since the students actually know the topics they like and choose those topics to do summer projects on them. Making summer projects more enjoyable could lead to students maybe liking school due to the freedom they get to pick went they choose their own summer projects instead of the teacher assigning the topics. And since the students get to pick their own topics, they will have more passion doing the projects, therefore leading to better projects and grades for the students and easier grading and less work for teachers.
Lastly I believe that if students go to pick their own summer topics for their projects, they will finish it quicker and get it over with as soon as possible instead of waiting last minute to complete the projects. Since the students get to pick their projects, they would be able to finish it in no time due to their topic being interesting and their topics being enjoyable. Since students would most likely pick a topic they enjoy, their knowledge of the topic might be big or they might do a lot of research due to they wanting to find new information out, thus helping them finish this project easier and faster than other projects. Some people think that if teachers gave out topics for summer projects it would be more educational and better, but these people are wrong because if the students got to pick out there summer project topics, they would be able to enjoy it a little more and it would be more enjoyable to the students. Also if the students got to pick their topics for their summer projects, they would probably get it done with quickly so they could be able to do a lot more activities like hanging out with people or play sports or even work and since the topic they picked was something they had interested in, they would be glad to get it over with.
In conclusion, all these reasons that were stated in this essay are good reasons on why schools should let the students pick their topics for summer projects instead of the teaching picking them out for them. Letting the students pick what topics they want to do for summer is an easier way to make the projects more exciting and better learning for the students. People should care about letting the students pick their topics because if they want to research more about a certain topic, this will allow them to able to research it more in depth and help the knowledge of the student grow more.

But the other bad part about it is some students are lose it most likely. And also i dont think that the teachers are gonna wanna grade a whole bunch of papers on the first day back .Its summer no every kid is gonna be focused on a project from school. The smarter thing to do would be to give the students the project on the first week back from summer break . so that way the students would not really have a choice but to do the project. Back to what i was saying,students should design the project so that way they get to make it how they want colors,designs and,etc. And if the students design it that might make them wanna do the summer project. If teachers design it students might no be as interested in doing the project because its not some thing they made on there own so it doesnt have any meaning to them .

FF9FBDF88EAF,"The author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the danger. Throughout the article, the author supports this claim very well. The author gives a few real benefits for exploring Venus. The author continuously tells us, the readers, about advancing technology thanks to human curiosity. The author even gives problems and solutions to explore Venus.
At the end of the article, paragraph 8, the author says, ""Striving to meet the challenges presented by Venus has value, not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself, but also because human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors."" This means that by exploring Venus, we will gain knowledge and be prepared for future missions with similar conditions. Paragraph 4 talks about Venus's past like how it ""may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system."" With knowledge of Venus's past, we could not only learn about Venus more, but we could use that information and compare it to Earth to predict some of Earth's future. That is how Venus's benefits outweighs its dangers.
In paragraph 7, it talks about NASA's interest to study Venus. In doing so, NASA is creating better technology and pushing the human race further. ""For example, some simplified electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of Venus's surface and have lasted for three weeks in such contitions."" With advancing technology thanks to the interest in Venus, we can now create objects that can survive over 800 degrees Fahrenheit on Venus's surface for three weeks. That is how studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers because we advance with the study.
Throughout the article, many problems are brought up with solutions. For example, paragraph 3 talks about Venus's dangerous conditions that aren't fit for humans, but in paragraph 5, NASA believes they can solve this problem by allowing scientists to float above the chaotic conditions which would allow humans to go to Venus and study it better. Paragraph 6 introduces the problem that humans wouldn't be able to gather a lot of information if they are on a ship orbiting Venus because of its dense atmosphere. In paragraph 7, the article says, ""systems that use mechanical parts can be made more resistant to pressure, heat, and other forces."" Paragraph 7 gives us the solution to the problem in paragraph 6. This in turn can also relate to the fact that our technology would advance thanks to the planning for Venus. That is how the author supports his claim by giving us problems and solutions to explore Venus, which negates some of the dangers.
With insight from Venus, advancing technology, and solutions to problems, the author supports his claim. The author tells us about benefits of exploring Venus. The author tells us how technology would advance thanks to the curiosity humans possess for Venus. The author tells us solutions to problems which negates some of the dangers.

23C653E16CC8,"Venus is the second planet in the solar system from the sun that precedes Earth in the planetary order. This planet is often called Earth's ""twin"" and the ""Evening Star"" of the universe because of its brightness and relative similarity to the Earth. In the article, ""The Challenge of Exploring Venus,"" the author presents facts and figures that one could use to determine whether studying Venus would be an advantageous pursuit even though it would not be very safe. The author focuses more on the drawbacks of exploring Venus, hence the title of this work. The author does not strongly support the idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit due to his extensive reasearch on its toxic living conditions but does acknowledge the benefits of its accessibility from Earth.
Compared to Earth, the author has found that Venus in less less survivable for humans. In the early years of space industry, numerous spacecraft have embarked on missions to the planet, but they were not able to return home. Unlike Earth, Venus has an atmosphere that is ""almost 97percent carbon dioxide"" with a surface temperature averaging ""over 800 degrees Fahrenheit"" and an ""atmospheric pressure [that] is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet""(Paragraph 3). Due to these extreme differences in temperature, pressure, and air content, Venus would be fairly inhospitable for humans. Usually when NASA launches missions to other planets they are trying to find alternatives habitats for the human race in the event that they cannot survive on Earth. If humans will not be able to withstand the conditions of Venus it is no longer a good option; therefore, it is not worth looking into since the author provides evidence that Venus would not be a useful living environment in the future.
However, the author has also found that studying Venus could be beneficial considering its proximity and similar geographical features to Earth. The Earth comes right after Venus in the solar system, making it fairly close given the long time frame of space travel. Astronomers have discovered that it was also previoulsly one of the ""most Earth-like [planets]"" as it ""was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life"" (Paragraph 4). Venus also ""has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters"" (Paragraph 4). In the event that Venus became a viable option for humans to inhabit when Earth collapses (as mentioned earlier), humans would have already been exposed to some of the landscape there. Although this would make Venus more assimilable, its similarity to Earth does not outweigh the dangers that still come with the planet being an unknown land changing from its previous state. With this evidence the author provides an advantage to exploring Venus, but it does not hold up against the established points about Venus' overall uninhabitability.
Throughtout the article, ""The Challenge of Exploring Venus,"" the author presents infomation for exploring Venus being both beneficial and harmful, but he elaborates more on the reasons pointing to the dangers that Venus poses. Compared to current conditions of Earth, Venus does not possess the necessary qualities that would make it a valuable reserve for potentially sustaining human life forms. The author is better able to address the disadvantages of studying Venus because of the extensive research revealing the planet's present volatile state instead of benefits from its similarity to Earth. Therefore, the author fails to thoroughly prove Venus' worthiness of exploration.",,578,Exploring Venus,Text dependent,"In ""The Challenge of Exploring Venus,"" the author suggests studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents.

EB29E13CF6D7,"With the increasing use of technology in our modern society, we are able to communicate with people all around the world and create a united global community.
But with all the technological advances in today's society we often tend to stray away from our more traditonal practices. One example that comes to mind is school, with technology and the internet becoming more accessable to others, schools are now considering offering online classes that students can take at home. While some might support this idea, arguing that the comfort of home creates the perfect environment for students to learn. I have to disagree.
I feel that distance learning would not benefit students. While I do agree that a home setting would make students feel comfortable, it can be argued that comfort was never a necessity when learning. We come to school to be in a learning environment full of discomforts that keep us on edge and focused, we are rarely ever relaxed. As I am writing this right now there is a student next to me who keeps chewing very audibly on his finger nails. It is in this situation that I am more motivated to finish my work and to get out of this room, as he is making me very uncomfortable.
But to only base my argument on one aspect of my learning environment would be foolish. We must also consider the distractions we may have at home. While our schools and classrooms are designed to have minimal distractions in them, our homes are not. Often times I find myself sitting in my room trying to do my homework, but more often than not, I am distracted by objects that are cluttered on my desk. Now you could say that this argument is very situation based, but there are plenty of other things that I can list off. Things like family, friends, pets, and cell phones. There is also the fact that there are no teachers at home to keep us in check so that we don't get distracted. As a student with a learning disability, I often find that my ADHD pulls my attention away from my work. But never in my twelve years of being in the education system, have I found myself more distracted in a school setting, than a home setting.
There is also a problem with the way of learning that online classes mandate. By looking at a screen and reading or watching videos, students aren't as engaged as they would be if they had a class discussion or socratic seminar. Students learn not only by teachers, but also by sharing ideas with each other and building upon what their peers say. One of the best ways of learning is through communication and sharing ideas. I specifically love learning this way as it is what a real world setting would look like. A group of minds that either agree or disagree on a topic all coming together to rationalize and create one centeralized idea. The kind of learning where all a teacher has to do is stir our minds so that we may learn on our own. A computer can't do that, all it can do is collect information, not create. We do not learn from computers, all we do is relay the information that is given to us, that isn't learning, it's just memory. Online classes do nothing but exchange the experience of learning and coming to school for the comfort of staying home.
While I do feel that technology has tremendously improved the learning experience for students, I feel that too much of it could end up hurting more than helping. The problem with computers is that they all ""think"" the same way, while students evidently do not. You just can't replace the learning relationship between a student and teacher, or a student and their peers, with something that is artificial. You cannot replace the perfect learning environment filled with simplicity, for one that is littered with distractions. Finally, you cannot recreate the discomfort of audible chewing noises, in an environment that was tailored specifically to comfort you.

0D359BCEE452,"By the author of this topic is really persauding by true facts where it makes u think. Can we really live on venus the normal way or a new way? During all this time all the best and expert sciencetist are working together to test a method nd see if we can live on that planet without dying or not producing food or water or even shelter. While testing we figured out that Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar system, even though Mercury is closer to our sun. Beyond high pressure and heat, Venusian geology and weather present additional impediments like erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lightning strikes to probes seeking to land on its surface. So that is why I think during the proccess on living venus or in the future testing methods if we could live pn venus or see if we can grow crops or bring like equiment to test samples on we can evole on this planet near us. Even the thought of going to a new planet is a big turn of events because we dont know how its atmosphere works or gravity or air/oxygen or weather climate change or anything but we are learning about it really fast where we have to make a high expert group of people to risk their lives to see if we can produce our species or our tech,food,citys, or even animal life in conculsion to make sure that we sure we dont make the smallest mistake to screw up the plans for us to live or visit venus in future but in mean time we have people training to become the best of the best for this secret peoject if it happens.

Have you ever believed something that wasn't true? I have, but before you believe it you have to find out if it's true or not. In the article it says the ""face"" looks like it could have been a Martian mesa. Also the shadows and the lighting could be making it look more like a face. There for if the NASA wanted to go there to get evidence it would cost them a huge budget.
What if the ""face"" was a Martian mesa? It could be one. The NASA was watching it through the years and figured out it looked like it could be a Martian mesa or butte. It was also very common to see Martians around the Cydonia, just this one had unusual shadows that made it look different from the other ones. It could all just be a natural landform that looks like a face.
The shadows could be making the Martian look like a face. From the angle where they took the picture. The picture could have changed how the picture came out. The human mind can form shandows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and a mouth. Some people said it would be a good way to engage the people and attract attention to Mars. Some people can just be fooled by them and thinking it really is a face.
To get evidence from Mars to see if it is really a face would cost NASA a huge budget. Just to go to Mars is a lot, but to go there and get evidence from there and bring it to Earth is a lot. It also can effect the way back to Earth and be dangerous. They don't stop at Cydonia so they would have to plan it out and get all the supplies they would need to get there and get the evidence they need.
People will believe almost anything anyone says. You just got to have evidence to know if it's true or not. There are so many things to make the Martian look like a face. Like meteriods could of hit it and knock off a piece of it. They could of just got the wrong side, lighting, or shadows of it. So before you believe anything anyone says make sure it's true and not just something made up. ",,400,The Face on Mars,Text dependent,"You have read the article 'Unmasking the Face on Mars.'

444BAFC4DB80,"All over the world you see people playing football, soccer, basketball, and many more. the reason for this is many people enjoy staying active. No teenager would want to stay home doing nothing but tedious work or chores. It is a fact that 75% of teenagers have an after school activity they do. In school some students are in an average of no higher than a C, but others are highly qualified to get better grades. The C average students are expecting to try their hardest at sport as a backup in a good collage. Relying on your responsibility, dedicating to get better, and succeeding to get into a better college are reasons why principals should allow for all grade average students to play sports.
To begin with, relying on your responsibility is a great highlight in sports. For example, the series of charmed. Three sisters commit themselves to fight for each other and each others lives. Going through harrowing experiences against evil forces they still rely on their responsibility and preserver like hero's to their community. Teenagers will act the same toward their sports. They will try their hardest on their school work, but also on their sports. Therefore, gaining back on your responsibility helps students with their sports.
Moreover, a student dedicating themselves to get better. Historically speaking, when the declaration of independence was taking place in the united states. We had to dedicate ourselves to gain our property from the British. To make everything better we had to go through rough times and allay ourselves back on track. Many students do the same now in present day. No one would like to see one of their students fail at one thing and not trying at the next. Students all over push themselves to do better, don't let them try with out getting something in return.
Additionally, succeeding to get into a better college are main examples. ""Rules of the Game"" by Amy Tan illustrates determination. This is about a young girl who ends up being a master in chess. She puts all her gut into learning more and more about the strategies in chess. She wants to place herself into a well known tournament and succeed into making herself proud. Many students want to feel happy that they can at least do one type of sport right and get a good scholarship because of it.
In Summation, Relying on their responsibility is one example of what students are meaning to do. They also dedicate themselves to get better and want to succeed to get into better collages. Just because their average is not as high doesn't mean their qualities in a sport are not well. Let them do sport and get a relief out of it, it will make them proud and try harder in school.",,465,Grades for extracurricular activities,Independent,"Your principal is considering changing school policy so that students may not participate in sports or other activities unless they have at least a grade B average.

Us humans are the major problem in this situation, we don't see that we are taking what we have to an advantage. To our factories, cars, or even trash. The main one that is causing our greenhouse gases to rise is our Power plants, but following behind the power plants are vehicles. Cars have become a major impact in our lives, from hurting one another, to hurting the place we live on. Car-free cities are going to help make a big, helpful change in peoples lives.
In the city of Vauban, Germany 70 percent of the families do not own a car. Vauban is called a ""car-free"" place, cars aren't allowed on the streets of vauban. Many people sold their cars to live in vauban, all around vauban wants a healthy way of living. Vauban allows car ownership, but the cars are only to be parked in two places which are the garages. ""When I had a car i was always tense, I'm much happier this way,"" Heidrun Walter said. It is a much healthier and less stressful way of living, new ideas will always come in handy. The United States Enviromental Protection Agency is promoting ""Car Reduced"" communities. Hopefully they get someone to tag along with this promotion, and get supporters to enforce it.
Bogota, Colombia is going on their third straight year of a ""Car Free"" city. They are wanting to reduce smog, so buses and taxis are permitted. ""It's a good oppurtunity to take away stress and lower air pollution,"" Carlos Arturo claimed. There was a consequence to the ones who didn't follow the rules, which was a $25 fine that they had to pay each time. Eventually, Two other Cities in Colombia, Cali and Valledupar, latched on to the idea of a ""Car reduction."" You see many people walking, running, riding bikes or skateboarding. A lot of people like this new idea that people are going by, it's an great way to step foward to save the earth and its problems.
Over time, Americans haven't been buying cars, driving less, and over years less people get their license. America is hitting its driving peak, The number of miles driven peaked in 2005 and then decreased signifigantly since then. Not many can afford a brand new car, or the insurance, most people are unemployed and dont work at all. Cars have been around for a long time, but over that time period it has caused major life impacting issues. ""Different things are converging which suggest that we are witnessing a long-term cultural shift,"" said mimi sheller. Many people aren't aware of this ""Car Free"" idea, which is an disadvantage. If this idea was spread through televison, newspapers, or even social media many people will pick it up and take it into consideration.
In an overall sum up, it is better to live ""Car Free."" You wouldn't have to stress yourself out about gas prices, fixing your cars, or your world becoming a big ball of heat. If Transportation and power plants are the two major impacts in our lives, we need to knock one out. Until, we can get some second options on power plants our best choice is to forbid cars. We have many other options to get around our city, running, walking, riding bikes or etc. The ""Car Free"" idea is very creative, not many people would take inisuative to help make the world a better and safer place. With an exception of a few, buses and taxis will be there for long distance trips. Cars caused a huge impact on our lives, but hurting us and our home which we call earth.

F2FA27A84BE6,"Dear Principal,
I am an 8th grader here and I believe that the new policy that you are considering is a wise one. The students in our classes seem to be struggling through the day, but have so much drama outside and in of class.
This athletics program has a positive appearance, making sure that the students have a healthy body, and providing enough exercise. I feel that this is like an optical illusion. Although the gym is completing its duty of providing the exercise needed, the kids are having more of a social life instead of a more productive workout. I can understand that they can talk to their friends and have a good time, and I am not trying to protest against that, but the attitude and the unwillingness to understand classes outside of gym are not their free time seem to grow as the school year progresses.
Drama is carried outside of the gym and into classrooms and even passing periods. Some of my classes last year had so much of this, I couldn't even learn much during the class. Sometimes our classes would stall as the teacher tried to explain to them the reason not to interrupt. Due to the lack of learning in the classrooms, they have a negative correlation with their overall grades and the gym attitudes.
I can see that the ""popular news"" coming out of the gym is always running through their minds, like, ""someone is going out with someone"", and ""they broke up!?"" This also prohibits their mind to think during class, and sometimes it leaks into the classroom; starting up a totally unrelated seems to come out a lot when that happens.
I do not want to seem unfriendly to these fellow classmates, or ranting on them. I just want to express my logic in what I see happening in the classrooms, and explaining why I believe your new policy is a good one. Thank you for taking your time to read my letter.

It's different, it could possibly help students, and it can change a direction in school period.
As a student its easy to get bored in class, even when we're on our computers, as stated in paragraph 6, ""..if you smile when a web ad appears on screen, a similar ad might follow. But if you frown, the next ad will be different."" That doesn't only help at school but anywhere, because we hate ads, also stated in paragraph 6, Dr. Huange says, ""A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored."" This is can be a big time help to students in school.
Another way this can help students is by possibly making them get to know new friends. If two or more students found alot of things in common they thought no one else would, or they never expected that person to like the same thing they like, it could possibly make new and unlikely friendships.

The first reason for doing an extracurricular activity is because you can have so much fun. For example, if you decide to do yearbook then you can go around your school to take pictures. You can also do volunteer work for your school games. Whenever you are out most of the time you are having fun. If you are with your friends then that's even more fun.
The second reason is that these activities can teach you new things. Say if you never played a sport before and you decide to join a team then this can teach you how to play. Learning new things can help you improve your curricular for school. You're also opening up a window that never been open before. Learning new things can also be fun, just give it a try.
The final reason is because you can make new friends. In my opinion, everybody needs friends or at least somebody to talk too. For example, say you chose to join a boy/girl scouts and nobody there knows each other that is a good opportunity to make new friends.

8EA275CFABF8,"Imagine a world when all you see is people sitting in their cars and not paying attention to the road ahead of them. That seems very scary to me. I believe that driverless cars are not a good idea or the way to be going for the future. Driverless cars could lead to many fatal accidents and also many injuries.
My first argument is that technology always seems to fail. When you get a new iPhone, sometimes not everything is right in the phone or something is messed up from the start. If we had driverless cars in the future, technology would be the key function to make the car work. What if the technology failed like what seems to happen many times to iPhone users. I think having driverless cars is putting too much belief and risk into technology. You can never say when a problem would quickly approach or is about to happen, it just happens. If a problem just happened in a driverless car when the driver wasn't paying that much attention to the road, many accidents and fatalities would be on the rise.
In conclusion, I think the idea of driverless cars are very unique and out there, but as of right now and the technology we have, I could not put my full trust in a driverless car.

0CAF8CEA967C,"Everyone has to make really hard choices in life and they don't know what path to choose. There are times when you need help and don't know who to ask. Instead of just asking one person who may or may not help you, ask multiple. When you are receiving advice from different people you are making a decision yourself instead of one person telling you what decision to make. Seeking multiple opinions when asking for advice is beneficial because you can have more options and more knowledge.
Firstly, asking multiple people for advice creates more options. Each person you ask will give you different advice. Every individual has different experiences and opinions. When you ask different people they could give you completely different answers. As a teacher if you ask an elderly man if technology should be used in school, he would probably say no, whereas a younger students would completely agree to use technology. Ask a variety of people of all different ages and occupations so you can get different options for which advice you will choose to follow. In conclusion, asking multiple individuals for advice will create different options for you.
Next, asking different people for advice creates more knowledge. Each person has learned different things based on their career and interests. The more individuals you ask the more knowledge you get. If you want advice on what to feed your baby, then ask multiple people to get the most knowledge. Your grandparent will tell you what they fed their kids and your older sister might tell you what the baby book she read said. Each individual has knowledge on different subjects, so you can get the most amount of knowledge and make your own choice.
In conclusion, more options and knowledge are the benefits of seeking advice from multiple people. When you ask multiple people their opinion you are making your own choice instead of letting one person make your descison for you. Every choice in your life affects who you are, so each choice counts. Every person is biased in their own way, and the more opinions you get the better the choice you can make.

678247627A95,"I am against the value of using the Facial Action Coding System because some people may try to hide a feeling like be upset or sad because they don't know how to tell someone why and how they feel. Just because they are hiding what they feel doesn't mean that someone can take new technology and found out what their feeling, because if they wanted people to know how they felt they would.
On the other hand if you use the technlogy you could change a lesson if a student was becoming bored or confused to help them do better in school. This technology could help more students pass classes so they can graduate. But some may not like the thought of someone being able to look at a computer and finding out what they are feeling.
They need to respect what people feel and not try to figure what is wrong because they didn't want to tell. If they found out they person may get upset and by confused at what happened. Using this could cause people to be disapointed in what people are feeling. This could cause people to get angry at others. Just because the technology exists doesn't mean that you have to use it.
I believe that the Facial Action Coding Stsyem shouldn't be use. This is because people may not want others to know want they feel, if they did they would tell them. But if they just told they wouldn't need the Facial Action Coding System. Some students may be struggling with things and may talk but what they are feeling but if they are confused they could just ask for help.

D58A10234F6A,"Say there is a big test coming up that affects your entire future and you want to know the best way to prepare for it. Your sister tells you to not do anything about it, saying you will pass anyway, your mother tells you to study the entire night before with little sleep so you have it all crammed in your mind, and your father says to study, get good sleep, eat a healthy breakfast, and believe in yourself. You take your fathers advice and ace the test. But if you didn't get multiple people to give you advice, you would be stuck with your sisters, which really isn't the best guidance ever. I believe seeking multiple opinions on the matter you would like advice on is important because you can hear from other experiences, you can hear from wiser people, and you can compare and find an in-between if you don't like any of the advice you received.
First off, if you ask multiple people for advice, you will receive some from people with different experiences. If you ask for advice on how to fly a plane, asking a pilot with experience would result in a better answer than someone that has never even gone to the airport. The same thing goes for passions and hobbies. They will have enough experience to help you get quality advice. So asking multiple people for advice to get someone with experience is important.
Another point I'd like to make is that some people may be wiser or more well-educated than others. It may come off as rude, but its a good point. Asking a toddler for a good book to read would have a much different outcome than asking your grandfather. This kind of ties in with my ""experience"" point as well, as younger or less wise people may also have less experience. Asking multiple people for advice to get an educated person is also important.
Lastly, what if you do not like any of the advice you received? Well, with multiple points to work off of, you can find a compromise for yourself. This also works if you like all of the advice you've gotten. If you don't like any or if you want it all, you can compare all of the advice you've been told and do the best thing for you. So yes, getting multiple views can help by getting ideas to work off of.
In conclusion, seeking and receiving multiple opinions and advice can be, and is, very important. It is important to find someone with experience. It is important to find someone with wisdom. It is very important to compare answers you've gotten to see which one you like best, or create your own depending on what you like from the advice.

Math because when you go to a store and you got to buy something; you need to know what amount of change you should get back. You need to know if your getting the a good deal or not? The basic adding, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Language because the way you talk to people. Using the correct gramercy when your writing on an application for a job. That is very important when your applying for a job so you can get paid so you can buy your own food and pay for your house.
History to know background to where your at and what your doing. Science by knowing what is in the ing of your food to see if you would die or not. Also to know what the stuff your using in your everyday job is just to know hoe to use to.

0E550CD08832,"The electoral college in many peoples eyes is a good thing but, there is a majority of other people who would much rather have a more direct vote because all though one president got the popular vote among the voters, the electoral votes count differently. One direct vote could count for ten votes or it could count for two votes and most people would rather have their vote count as just their vote. Electoral votes in a lot of peoples minds is just unfair all around. One president could be the favorite among the voters but the electors the president has to back him up with electoral votes could maybe not be as big as another presidents electors and its pretty much, in many peoples eyes, giving the least popular among the people president an easier way to become president.
Adults that vote like knowing that their vote really counts for the person theyre voting for. That is why people would much rather have a direct way of voting than the electoral college, which is taking one vote from one person, and say there are thirty electors in that one slab for the person you voted for, and giving that person thirty votes for the person they want elected. People find this way of voting unfair because they dont like the fact that the person they voted for could get the most popular votes, but the number of electors there are for the person is not very many, so their votes count as less than others do. Many feel that they are being deprived of their right to vote because one person could be voting but they get 10 votes while another peson could be votin and only get 6 and its not equal for all people.
People who vote for a president that gets the most popular votes, and they dont win the election, can start big disputes among the way the elections are carried out. When a president wins only the electoral votes and not the popular vote, many dont feel like they are actually their president. Most people would prefer direct voting because it actaully makes everybodys votes count equally and everybody has equality. Winning electoral votes doesnt show that you won because the majority of people wanted you to win, it shows you have many supporters to give you more votes through the electoral college.
Direct voting would be a better way to vote so that everybody felt like their votes really counted towards who they voted for and that they arent getting cheated because one president has more electors supporting them. The electoral college is not based on equality because everybodys votes count differently due to supporters or electors who are pretty much the ones getting the votes. fixing the way people vote and how they vote can change the way some people feel towards the preident no matter who they are. Let the people vote for who they want and not the electors because it would make more people more open to vote than there are now.

The landform is a Martian mesa or butte that is common around the planet Cydonia. The shadows formed around the mesa makes it appear as if it's actually a real life Egyptian head.
Judging by the ways the conspiacy theorists said it might be an evidence that life exists on Mars, and saying NASA is hiding it is just wrong. The theorists still don't have enough evidence to prove it is a real life face, and that it was created by aliens. NASA actually does research, not them (using fake facts), and that NASA would never do such a thing.
Yes, the face did appear on television, books, magazines, a movie, and haunted a checkout line for 25 years, but this doesn't mean it is a real face. The later photos (1998, 2001) would look different than the 1976 one because it (the mesa) changed too much, and that it was revealed in a JPL web site in 1998 that it was indeed a natural landform, and it reminded fellow Chief Scientist Jim Garvin of a natural butte that takes the shape of a lava dome in the Snake River Plain in Idaho.

I think that student have a b average. I believe that they should have a C or B average to play sports. I say so because if the student goes out for a team with one point off from a B average and the have a C average then they might be hurt. With a B average they are doing good but no disrespect a C average isn't failing so why not make it that as well.
Now if the kid had a D average they should be taken off the team they are on so they can pull it up and not get low grades again. Most kid think that if they had again in the middle of school the have an excuse to not do their home work but that their fault. With a C average kids can work hard so they don't drop down to a D.
Another reason that you should make it a C average is so the team at the school wont get dropped from any events. With most of the kid with C' s the school may not have any events for kids to try out for. With that the coach might not have time to try out the kids for the team. some coaches might not even let the kid try out.

The computer sowftware that can define our emotionsis now that people use in work or even at school use.
Imagine the world with the computer software that can read our emotions that will be very amazing.

E1DDD9115527,"Hello everyone. Today I am going to talk about the disadvantages of taking a home school program, one of the down sides of taking a home school program, it would be the students effort,and development of skills, and abilities. students develop many skills throw classroom work such as communication, team work, and leader ship. when a student works in groups they learn new ways of solving problems,and learn the values of working as a team, and with the home school program a student won't develop the same skills in fact that would affect them later on.
many times students compete to be the best, to finish faster, to get better grades,because they wanna stand out from the others. but when a student works alone there most likely going to give less effort and there going to feel like there doing the best that they can,when there not. for example when a soccer player or football player is trying out to get in a team for the first time they think i am good i can do this. but when they see the abilities of others. they wanna work hard to be at there level because he know that there better than him.
but that gives him motivation to prove and challenge him self to see what hes capable of.
the fact that students get to work in groups is amazing because students learn from each other and it becomes less stressful. for example when a group has to do a project everyone is going to have a job, and everyone can share there points of view to make sure everything is at its best, and working in a group makes everything easier and it cut the amount of time to finish. and working alone it would be more stressful because the student has to do more work, and he wont see all the problems when other people could.
even tho theses students that will love to do the job at home they know participating in class helps a lot to remember what they have learned. and its easy to say when a student is home it wont put as much effort that a student in classroom because he will take a lot of time to finish his work when in a class room the students have a time period.
in conclusion a student thats attending to classes is going to be more successful than a student thats taking classes at home because of the simple fact that the student that is in the class room is participating on activities and working with other students, learning new ways to solve problems. and the student that takes home school its not developing the simple skills of communication, team work and leader ship because hes going to have to work and do things on his own.",,451,Distance learning,Independent,Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing.

I believe that there should not be such thing as an Electoral College. I feel it is not fair to our country. When people vote they vote for who they want to win and think is best for their country but in the end, it all does not matter because the Electoral College makes the final descision. If its our country, we should be able to vote for whoever we want and who ever gets the most popular vote, wins.
I also agree with Bob Dole, ""Abolish the electoral college!"" It is unfair and irrational to our country. When you think about it, If 3 people: one for each member in the House Of Representatives and two for your senators, it could be unfair. What if those three people are going for Republicans? and the majority of their state that they represent votes for Democrats? it would not be fair to the rest of the state because they all wanted the opposite of what the Electoral College wanted, so the Electoral College basically gets to make the final decision of who they want in office.

A87882E3DD41,"I would like to begin telling you on my specific reasons of hating this subject, some kids need the exercise and can't get it anywhere else. It would probably raise each of the students grades considering the fact that most kids are overweight and need to lose it. Which would cause an academic change in their lives. Some kids may need help in their schoolwork but also need to fix their bodies. It is important to stay active or you can die young and not be able enough to think in class. If your son was sent to their licensed physician they would be lectured on saying that they are not staying active. Many things can happen if you don't stay healthy like lack of thinking and many other things like fatigue, nausea, weight gaining ,etc. I've learned many things over the years and its been hard but I've been working out more outside of school. Maybe you should allow all kids to workout in school no matter what their academic standards are. I think that your selfishness is bringing kids home to video games and not any sports thus making it harder for them to succeed in life. But the kids still need to get their grades up but imagine a star quarterback on a football team imagine he has no one or place to go to his life revolves around football he might get a scholarship to go to college but his grades are slipping and he has no money for a tutor, then what is he going to do. You should resign as a principal and see how it feels to have no money. You should take that into consideration. There should be a student council meeting with many of the football, basketball ,and soccer players and you should hear what they have to say according to this matter if you don't want to attend then what does that make you? I'll tell you what it makes you, it makes you a hypocritical coward considering the fact that you might have played sports when you were younger. When you used to play did you feel good playing or did you stay home. If you were poor i could see that it's hard living that way but you need to grow up and face life and grow mentally and physically. It could be the possibility of ADD .

07AB5218B889,"Would you believe that my principal, the proud representative of Generic_School Middle School is choosing to force students to stay after school for no less than one activities regardless of my or any other kids feelings? Sadly you would have to believe me because that is the truth. Instead of implementing a beneficial policy to school grounds our principal choose to take away students freedoms. I know for a fact that other students feel the way I do. I believe that this is a complete mistake making this decision because, it adds to the mountains of stress students already receive, it will conflict with students interests, and the idea that this is forced upon students is something that will not make us proud or happy to go to Generic_School.
One of the major reasons why this is a terrible policy is the amount of stress that participating in an extracurricular will add. Students already have large amounts of stress due to balancing homework, projects, studying for tests, S.O.L's, and getting enough sleep every night. Also, if students stay after for a club there interested in there is no guarantee everyone in that group is as nice as you. Teens can be major jerks and sometimes can put you in an bad situation. I wouldnt want to be forced to stay after school in an unsafe and uncomfortable environment. I have stayed after school many times and it has not been enjoyable, theres always at least one kid that has an issue with everyone that looks at him/her. A mandatory policy like this increases the number of opportunities for bullying to ac cure. I wouldnt want to be forced to stay after school in an unsafe and uncomfortable environment.
Another crucial reason why this policy should not be instated is the conflict with students interests, outside of school, it will have. Students have many interests outside of school, if another activity were to be forced onto them it would affect there current schedules massively. I am currently participating in four activities outside of school, an additional one would through me off completely. A lot of kids including myself have a bit of a routine on a daily basis, this policy will mess up my routine. Also, what if there are know clubs/activities that a student is interested in?. Are they supposed to just tough it out and waste two hours their time doing something they dont enjoy. After school programs last from 2:30 to 4:30. Sometimes I get dropped off at my stop at 6:30 and in the winter its dark out by then. That leaves me maybe an hour of homework if i'm lucky, because I most likely already have something going on. As it is the school grading system is unfair, because if someones writing is truly brilliant but they did not follow the rubric the will get an F, While somebody whos writing is very dull and boring will get an A. The last thing students need is less time to do schoolwork.
My third and final point on why this policy is a big mistake is the fact that this is forced upon us. If theres one thing Teenagers dont like its got to be rules that limit what they can do. It is nice having the option to stay after, I would not to be forced to do so. A policy that has been instated at Generic_School is the phone policy. It states that kids mayn not be on there mobile device at all during the school day, this has increased the number of students using there phones, even more people than before the policy. The reason why teens shoplift is because its taboo, there forced to not steal, so they then steal. A country in south America is experimenting with a new law were cocaine is legal. It has actually decreased the amount of people using it, by making it legal it gave people less pf a reason to do it. My point is that if students were forced to stay after it would cause rebellion and protest and negative attitudes among the students.
In conclusion, A policy that forces students to participate in at least one extracurricular is a tremendous mistake because it will negatively impact students by adding to there stress, conflicting with there interests outside of school, and forcing this upon them.

And why is it good that u ask other people for their opinion is because it can help people feel good about theirselvs and what i mean by that is most of the time no one cares about your opinion or theres and asking them for their opinion can really impact their life a lot because you probably brighten their day by putting a smile on their face.

1A88DC345340,"Dear Principal,
I think that phone policy one is the better choice than phone policy two. I think that the first one is better than the second one because students will like it better and that students will probably not listen to the second policy if that is enforced. Students will like policy number one a lot better than policy number two. Most students with cell phones will like to keep their phones with them at all times just in case their is an emergency or if they are afraid that somebody will steal their phone. As long as they can use it during sometime in the day, most students will be satisfied and they can concentrate more in class, knowing that they can use the phone sometime in the day.
Another reason why I think the first policy is better than the second is because the students will probably not listen to the second policy. Some students will probably have their phones with them anyways during class. To the students it will be safer to have their phones with them and maybe just to be rebels, they will use it during the lessons like texting or playing games. Also, it will be better if you give what the students want or else they might think this is not a good school. So I, an anonymous student, am speaking for all the kids that have cell phones thinking that it is better to allow students to bring phones to school and use them during lunch periods and other free times, as long as the phones are turned off during class time.

A057440C16FE,"Put this in perspective: a technology that could depict human emotion. Luckily, Dr. Huang of the University of Illinois has created this new technology called the Facial Action Coding System, which enables computers to identify human emotions. He used this new technology to depict the emotions of Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa. The uses of this technology are endless, but one specific use could be in the classroom.
The use of this technology in the classroom has potential to be very valuable. For instance, if a teacer is teaching and a student is confused or bored, there is a way to teach that specific student in another way that may benefit him or her. Depicting these emotions would be done by way of computer. There would be a classroom computer and when it picked up confusion or boredom, it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor. The technology benefits the teacher and the students.
One special use of this technology is how it can modify the lessons being taught by teachers. People are all different and learn in a variety of ways. Some people are visual learners and some people can learn just by listening. The technology can use the different models of teaching to benefit each student.
Because of Dr. Huang, the Facial Action Coding System could be used in places all over the world but in particular, the classroom. His technology can change the way of teaching and create more opportuinities for students to learn. Also, the modifications of teaching students can be done to fit each student and how they learn.

FD5347E3C97B,"Back in the day getting a car was a right of passage into the adult world, now it just seems silly to get a car. Biking, walking, trains, buses all seem be taking the place of cars. Why? Seems to be the big question that car companies are asking. An here are the answers new towns are being constructed all over the world where car are unnessacery, also new programs to show other ways of transportaion, but also for less population.
The Europeans seem to be taking ton the idea of a ""car-free"" life. In Vauban,Germany they have created a community where street parking, driveways, and home garages are geberally forbidden. 5,500 residents live within a a rectangular sqaure mile, making it more compact and more accessible for public transportantion. This makes stores a walk away, there is a main street, rather than a distant high way. Vauban, is an example of a growing trend in Europe, United States, and elsewhere. They are separting suburban life from auto use, a start of a movenment called ""smart planning.""
Bogota, Colombia is starting a program that is spreading to other countries. Millions of Colombians hiked, biked, skated, or took the bus yesterday. This is the third year cars have been banned, using only buses and taxis, these are only trasportantion permitted for the Day Without Cars. In this captial city, the goal is to promote alternative transportation and reduce smog. The turnout was large even with the rain showers, ""The rain hasn't stopped people from participating..,"" said Bogoto Mayor Antanas. And for the first time two other cities are joining the event. The day without cars is part of improvement campaign, they have constructed 118 miles of bicycle paths, the most in Latin America.
In Paris they have started to enforce partial driving ban to clear the air of smog. On Mondays motorists with even numbered license plates to leave their cares at home, and on Tuesdays odd numbered licenses plates must do so as well. If they use their car they will get fined, 4,00 people were fined that Monday! This new plan of action is due to the intensifying smog in Paris, that monday 60% of the smog was down. In the Untied States less people are starting to use cars, not because they will be fined but because a change in culture. Many sociologist believe that a decrease in car usage will have beneficial implications for carbon emissions and enviroment.
To conclude limiting car usuage seems to be a trend around the whole world. The advangtages of less car usuage, is they are building communties where cars arent nessacery, making programs to show there are other ways of trasportant, and less cars means less smog. The whole world is starting this new trend of less cars, you never know cars might not be a thing 50 years!

Dont get me wrong this invention would be cool but it would be dangerous to all of us.
Okay so you want a driverless car right, but you have to be able to be ready and drive it when the car needs help..
Are you kidding me if you wanted a driverless car, you want a driverless car.
You dont want to be ready for when road construction is about to happen and have to drive, you want to have the car drive the whole time.
I know this is kind of lazy to say, but people want what they payed for!
They dont want a car that only drives half the time.
If you want to sell a driverless car, it has to be all the way, a driverless car.
Car makers should make cars the same way as they are making them now.
They way they have it now is great, unless something happens and cars can fly or something.
The way that cars can stop by themselves is amazing.
But having the car to do everything is to dangerous.
All the laws would change because of this, and they would have to make new ones.
There would probably be no cops. So, so many jobs are going to be lost.
Then what are the families going to do?
The cost of these things would be outrageuos!
Some of the cars now are really expensive, imagine how they will be when these things come out.
These cars would not even do anything because only the wealthy can buy them.
So what is the point when only a few people can buy them.
Unless they make it insanly cheap, which i do not see happening.

Some benefits are the reduction of traffic, a smaller chance of car crashes and injuries, reduction of polution and appreciating whats around you already instead of being couped up in a car. People now are replacing driving with riding bikes, hiking or walking to where they want to get to or just car pooling with a friend.

After this was done, the congestion went down 60 percent, after 5 days of smog in the air. The reasons why France did this was because they blamed the amount of gasoline coming from the cars. The smog got out of control so they decided to limit car usage.
In America, the reduction of car usage is also going down. People are depending more on biking, or walking to their designation or catching a ride with a friend.

94ADD986E4CA,"Driverless cars had always been only a fantasy.
However, recent developments in transportation make this fantasy a possibility.
Still, people question whether the development of said ""drierless cars"" would be beneficial or detrimental to society.
In the article, ""Driverless Cars are Coming,"" the author's report on the growing developments on driverless cars shows a more positive than negative trend for the future of automobiles.
Examples from the the article attest to this observation.
The creation of a driverless car represents a stepping stone for the evolution of transportation to motorists, futurists, and manufacturers alike.
In the third and fourth paragraphs, the author gives readers the history on the development of autonomous cars from customized tracks to ""Google's modified Toyota Prius.""
This brief history of the innovation of the automobile shows readers the already impressive progress that researchers had accomplished so far.
By comparing present driverless cars such as ""Google's modified Toyota Prius"" to the very first autonomous prototype tracks such as General Motor's special test track, the author enables readers to appreciate how far humanity has gone and how close humanity was to being able to construct autonomous cars.
Later in the article, the author informs the reader of BMW's ""Traffic Jam Assistant.""
Although the traffic jam assistant can ""steer, accelerate, and brake themselves,"" ""this means the human driver must remain alert and be ready to take over when the situation requires.""
The BMW Traffic Jam Assistant shows the extent to which automobiles can drive autonomously.
Although the car still requires the full attention of a driver, the BMW Traffic Jam Assistant serves as proof of researchers' accomplishments over the development of ""driverless cars.
As seen in the various accomplishments that might be able to make driverless cars a reality, the construction of a truly autonomous car would be remembered as a landmark of human achievement, a final stage in the evolution of the autonomous car.
Although autonomous cars appeal to the public eye, the introduction of driverless cars bring about some concerns from the law.
As ""Most driving laws focus on keeping drivers, passengers, and pedestrians safe,"" it will be imperative that the possible construction of these autonomous vehicles be flawless.
People to this day still doubt the reliability of the driverless car as seen how ""it is illegal even to test computer-driven cars"" in some states.
However, the current automobile technology was centered around the safety of the passenters as seen when the author quotes, ""in this way, the in-car system is actually a safety feature.""
When explaining the purpose of the google car, the author states, ""The Google car simply announces when the driver should be prepared to take over.""
The fairly autonomous Google car was developed for the sake of making roads of the future safe.
Based of the trend in the developments of the autonomous car, the cars of the future will not only be more technologically advanced, but the cars will bring about a safer environment for both drivers and pedestrians.
The reliability of the autonomous car should not be of concern to skeptics as the cars will continue to evolve to suit the needs of the driver as ""safety is a big concern"" to developers.
""While the driver watches the road, the car watches the driver.""
In the article, ""Driverless cars are Coming,"" the author's reports on the hopeful introduction of the ""driverless car"" presents a positive trend in the future of travel as the fiinal development of the first autonomous vehicle would be both a memorable and benefical achievement.

First teachers could end up losing their jobs. All of this stems from what has happened in history. Take factories as an example, factories used to be full of people making and producing everything, but the recent surges in robotic workers has left many without jobs that would have otherwise been a great livlihood. This same thing could very well happen to teachers with little to no warning.
Second off there are people that are affraid to have cameras or video monitors on their children because they are known to have been hacked into and can lead to crimes including kidnapping and robbery. Adding this sort of computor facial recognition software could increase hackability of a schools network or technology. Sometimes hacks can go undetected for days or weeks at a time and once you find out it has been happening it is suddenly too late.
Finaly it would be a huge change for everyone that is currently enroled in pulic schools. Once you reach students above grade 4 it could be a struggle to get them on a different ""type"" of learning such as a computor program that can mold the lesson to a persons emotions. You also lose a sort of connection to the teacher. Most people remember certain teachers for certain reasons, whether they were funny, told stories, truly cared about students, or were just overall a great teacher, but all of this would be lost because no computor at this point has TRUE intelligence, some may mimic actions of intelligent life but none has achived it yet.

7ABE298D9C05,"I believe the summer project should be student-designed because every student learns differently from another, it will express students creativity and originality, it will make it more enjoyable for students.
The student-designed summer projects will show how every student learns differently from another. Their are many ways to learn information. Student's can learn information through watching a video, reading, or even experiencing it in real life. After gathering their information, students can make a poster, a presentation, a news article, a website, or even write a song about it. The students will show the teacher the best way they learn through their choice in the project.
The summer project will also express students creativity and originality. Students creativity comes from their imaginations. Their imagination is filled with their interests and the things they are passionate about. For an example, I'm really passionate about dance and I want to learn more about the history of dance. I will make a project on the history of dance. I will use the information I already know about the subject and research more information. Every student 's project will be original and creative in their own way because everyone has different interest and ideas.
Summer break is a time for students and teachers to have fun with family, friends, and to go on vacation. They won't be thinking about school. The summer project is a great way for students to continue learning during the summer. It will be more enjoyable for students to pick the idea and the way they present it. I think this will have more students participate in the assignment and be eager to learn during the summer.
The teacher-designed summer project is also a good idea because it makes it easier for the teacher to grade the same project. It will also make it easier for students to know what their idea is and how they are going to present the project.
Over all, I think the student-designed summer project will be a great way for students to learn and present something they are passionate about through a creative way.

D94F579CFD16,"Dear Principal,
Many students do not have a B average, instead many have a C average. They are trying very hard to reach that B, but sometimes it just doesn't work. Today I ask of you to at least let those with a high C average, 75+, allow to do these sports or other activities. If you do this, the liability that the students will try harder to at least reach that 75 will be higher.
They will try their best in every way, and you will have less people failing classes, maybe. Plus, there are classes that are difficult to do. Everyone has a strong point in a subject, and their weak point. For example, some one can be really good at math, but in science they are struggling, and already having a tutor trying to help them, but sometimes a tutor just can't help them. We try hard, we some times fail, but were at least trying.
You know how their is always that one child in every class that will always be the bad one. When I say bad, I mean the one kid that always goofing off, making funny jokes, and disturbing everyone. Wells their are several reasons for why that person does that. One reason, their just not good at that subject, and so they don't care what they get, and start to goof around.
Grades are the scariest thing to get. Especially when you have a specific grade to reach. Some parents will get mad, if their child has a C, and they would just push that child, telling him or her all these great things that could happen if they have an A or B, or they will tell their kid about how they were in the past. Then when a child gets an F, the parents become more pushy, they don't meant it, but they just want their kid to have a better future. Since this is happening children have only been struggling, because their constantly being pushed to do something better when they really don't want to. They are not relaxing enough. They are not having time to themselves to enjoy their own life, instead they are cramming their nose in a schools book reading. I'm not saying that shouldn't read, but it should really be just for a short time, like 10 minutes.
I ask of you to at least let those with a high C or above be able to participate in sports or other activities. Well at least try to do it this way, and if it doesn't help at the end of the year then you can go back to doing the B average. Just remember to consider how other students are. Watch them through the hall, listen to them, and see what they are doing. Adults can learn a lot from a kid if they actually payed attention and viewed everything the way the child is does.
Sincerely,
A fellow student",,488,Grades for extracurricular activities,Independent,"Your principal is considering changing school policy so that students may not participate in sports or other activities unless they have at least a grade B average. Many students have a grade C average.

920E71AABE39,"Policy 1:
My idea might become true. I want cell phones during free times at school. Like at lunch time, passing period and any other free time. If we could text during our free time we could plan events for after school with parents. Also just ask other students what homework do we have in different classes through out the day.
If we have cell phones during free times. The students would be more socially active. Also we could use math and other applications on our phones to help use with our homework. This would improve homework scores and other types of work in our classes through out the day. That can help
The places we can have our cell phones out. One place is at lunch. We spend about 30 minutes at lunch. I always see people doing homework when i am eating. So if we could use cell phones at lunch then we could use the built in calculator on our phones to help use work out problems.
Another place would be our passing period. this is where we can socialize with other class mates that we cant talk to because our locker is so far away from their locker. Also we could talk to parents about school events after school. Like if we had practice after school but coach didn't tell us. then we could text our parents and tell them. That is a very good reason to have cell phones.
Now there is a problem with it. What if people over use the privilege and use there phones during class time. Well here is the solution, right before class everyone takes out there phones and turns them off. Then they will give them to there teacher and she will put them in a box on her desk. But if you don't you stand a risk. If you get caught then you will have a Friday school, and also a letter grade taken down.
The schools in America need to let students have their phones during school. If they do they can get better scores on homework and other activities. The can be social with other people. Parents can know what their kid is doing after school and during school. This is a great idea and shouldn't be put aside, that is why i am writing this.

All of the world allredy knows that it was a huge rock formation with human charatictics with shadows giving it eyes,an nose, and a mouth. It was just tooken at the right place at the right time. It was just another conspiracy theory waiting to erupt.
The only reason that NASA hasnt told the truth is because do now how much fame they are getting off of this right know. They knew it was a rock from the beggining. So even on April 5,1998 when they got caught red handed from a picture they took ten times sharper then the viking they kept the story going. They even went as far as saying that the aliens had errased it. LIke how far will they go with this thing. All of this because of a huge rock and a mistaken picture. So when people still wanted more and NASA did to they tried again hoping for a mirical. They still wanted more out of this rock. The only reason NASA didnt shut this down was because they need the fame and money. This picture ended up becoming a pop icon. It starred in a holloywood film,appeared in magizines,radio talk, and shows. Whey would they think of shuting it down. So they led people into thinking that this was some alien race marking. So when things were dying down they hoped for another miricle and sent anothe spaceship up into spacejust to show people it was just a rock again.
So out of this rock they ended up getting a couple years of fame and a very large fan base. To this day Nasa keeps the roomer going around. I think this picture was just and accident that turned into a trophie for NASA.They made sure to make the most of it but knew they couldnt hold it for long. They knew it was a perfect story to spark a conversation between thousands of people so theybrought it out just to do that.

The question is is there really life on mars. The images shown from 1976 could eassily convince someone there is life on mars being that a single human has not ever been to mars before.
This dosn't necasarily mean anything though. Then they took an other picture of the so called face on mars in 1998 it came in clearer now becouse we had created new technolgy that lets us take better pictures. Then finally as techonolgy as we know it has become greater it takes better pictures now so in 2001 N.A.S.A took an other photo of the mysterios face. It turns out its not even a face it was just a land form.
With the new technology there was no dobt it was just a landform ""so, if there were objects in this picture like airplanes on the ground or Egyptian-style pyramids or even small shacks,you could see what they are!"" As stated in paragraph 11. It is just a landform like land forms we have on our planet we have the grand canyon for instance it just so happens mars has some landforms of its own and it just happens to be a landform clasified as a mesa landform common in part of the american west. So dont let hollywood get to you with there myths and spooky tales the real evidence prooves its just a land form.
It is fun though to dream of it as a sing there is other life beyond us but for right now it is just a landform on mars. If your still not conviced let me explain more the reason that we had not came across the landform as soon as we had discovered mars is becouse we don't cover that area that often but it is shurley not aliens. Look at the time capsale at the beginning of the arcticle from 1976 to 2001 it clarifies more so you can see the image better it just is a peice of land perhaps the image that was taken was just clouds casting a shadow that made it apear as a face.

4.97E+11,"A summer project is suppose to show teachers what you learned over the past 9 months in his/her classroom. that's why they invented the project and some students never do it which could hurt their grade at the start of the first nine weeks. Students should not be able to design this project because some students might make the project too easy and some students might just be lost and confused after the fact that they got help from a teacher.
The first reason why students shouldn't be able to design this summer project is because students would just make the project about an easy subject like art or gym and it might not be so helpful to teachers. students like to sleep in class or be on their phones and most of them students are going to be the ones lost on how to do this project which is 50% of students in each classroom. If the students were allowed to design the summer project it would fail because student lack the skills needed to create the project they don't know what to make the project about and some of the students still wouldn't do the project because they feel as if they learned a lot already during the school year. If you want students to design the summer project the teachers should give them rules to follow and a list of things that are inappropriate for school and not allowed to be on the project. many students would continue to struggle with school work if they design their own projects because its not helping them get better on that subject for school.
Another reason why teachers should design the project is because they would help the students get better with the subjects they struggle on the most in school. teachers can design projects to help students get better with work in school and if students where to be in control of this project they would make the project about something off topic or something that is not about what they learned in school. the whole reason for this project is so that students can show the schools what they learned over the years and show them that they are still learning over the summer time and not just playing around. Im still a student and i want to graduate and summer is three months away if my teachers were to give me a project and tell me to design it i would make it about my favorite subject in school which is history but some students like to play around and skip class and school to hang out with friends so they don't learn anything and when it comes time to do the project they are confused and lost on how to do the project the point is if students don't want to do the school work in school what is going to make them do the summer project so some students are going to take a zero for the grade because they don't care about their grades or the school.
The project should be about what students learned not a copy of their friends work. some students like to share thier work with others and it could get them both in trouble. the point is some students are going to cheat off each other so they can get a good grade on the project if they was to be in control of the design. teachers should give the students a list of things that are good for the project to be about because if they dont they are just going to be turning in some work that isnt about school work they learned or even school at all. Teachers need to be the ones to design this project just like all the other ones they made why would they switch it up all of a sudden now?.

I think that the principals shouldn't make all the students to perform community service, because maybe it would be good for other people, but some students don't have the time to do that, because maybe they need to take care of their little brother when their parents are going somewhere and can't take the children with them, and they don't have the money to pay a babysitter or the don't have any related to take care of them. Maybe the students don't want to do it, because they can't do it, because they want to hang out with their friends, go to the movies, or go to the park and play some kind of sport, or maybe they want to hang out with their girlfriend.

78668D3769A3,"Over the past 4 decades cell phones have evolved extremely.
Nowadays people use their phones for just about any and everything. Things such as texting, calling, playing games, booking appointments, even checking latest posts on social media and much more. Cell phones started to become a problem when people were just looking down at their phones while crossing the street. Something that could be fixed. Now, people are choosing to use their phones while driving which has become an issue and is very dangerous. Which puts not only the driver in danger put others as well.
Each day people are dying or being injured from using their cellular devices while being behind the wheel. Each year 421,000 people in the United States are injured due to a driver being distracted by their device. It's more common for teens and young adults to text and drive (ages 18-24). 14% of fatal crashes are involved from texting and driving in this age division.
In 2017 the ""Hands Free Law"" had been issued. Which means drivers are allowed to use hand free devices only while being behind the wheel of a car and being completely free of a device. Although people may think the hands free law has prevented less accident it hasn't it only makes people have the urge to reach for their devices even more. 11 teenagers die every day due to texting and driving. Teenagers are 400% more likely to get into an accident from texting and driving. AT&T's Teen Driver Survey found that 97% of teenagers think it's dangerous, while 43% of them engage in the activity anyway.
In conclusion I strongly disagree with texting and driving because it puts more than one person in danger. I feel as if you need to use your device while behind the wheel of a moving vehicle be mindful and pull to the side.

4EACC56E424C,"Many people around the world believe in the benefits of distance learning. In fact, various schools throughout the country have began to offer distance learning as an option for their students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing. Attending classes from home is detrimental to a student's education because of it encourages distractions, limits interactive activities, and prevents social development.
One reason distance learning is detrimental to a student's education is its encouragement of distractions. Often times a student's home is the place where they are most comfortable, but it can also be where they find the most distractions rather it's a sibling, pet, or electronic device. Students struggle to focus and obtain information when they are surrounded by a pool of distractions. Learning in a classroom provides students with a quiet, distraction-free space to learn while also providing them with the tools that they need to be successful. It is also a place where students can learn information through interactive activities.
In addition to a distracting environment, distance learning provides no hands-on activities for students which can be very detrimental to their education. Many students tend to be visual learners and benefit from interactive activities. Past studies have shown that participating in hands-on and interactive activities increases the amount of information that students are able to absorb. When working from home, students are simply working straight from a computer screen without any visual explanation for the information they are learning. This prevents students from getting the hands-on experience that is so beneficial to their educational success. A classroom with an educator allows a student to participate in hands-on activities, receive explanations, and collaborate with others.
Additionally, prevention of social development is another major reason of why distance learning should not be offered to students. When working from home, students often isolate themselves, only communicating with their educator and family. Distance learning prevents the character and social development that would normally be received in a school environment. Coming to school allows people to communicate with peers and teachers while developing a wide variety of social skills. When working with others, students are able to develop communication and leadership skills while learning how to work hard and how to be patient with their fellow peers.
Others might argue that distance learning provides students with a comfortable environment for learning. In reality, one's home is too comfortable of a place to successfully learn. Distance learning can be very detrimental to a student's education because it creates a distracting environment, disallows hands-on learning, and prevents the development of important life skills. In all, this feature of online learning should not be allowed for students because of its detriments to educational success.

All students should do at least 1 extracurricular activity. It keeps them occupied, it's fun for students, and it can benefit the teachers too.
Doing an activity can take up any unused time in a students break after school. All extracurricular activities keep students occupied. Instead of sitting around on your phone after school, you could be playing outside doing sports with your peers.
Another reason students should do extracurricular activities is because it's fun! You get to choose any activity that'd fit your likings and hobbies. Maybe sports aren't your thing, so you could take a photography club or become a part of the student council. You could also become a part of a club that just plays board games all day.

Lastly, extracurricular activities can give a helping hand to teachers and administrators. Any type of volunteering could help out different people in your school.

646F2F3D2BAF,"Phones and Driving
Cell phone use while driving has become the largest cause of automobile crashes over the last two decades. Using a phone while driving can cause distracted driving and even worse car accidents with fatalities. With drivers being distracted, it decreases their awareness on the road and leads to more car crashes. According to the United States Department of Transportation, in 2017, distracted driving claimed 3,166 lives in that year alone. Mobile phone use while driving distracts drivers in two ways; physically and cognitive distraction. Although many laws have been set in place in order for cell phone usage while driving to be banned, many ignore the law and still use cell phones. With this information being concluded, many feel as if drivers should not be able to use cellular phones while driving in any capacity.
There are many benefits from decreasing the number of drivers who choose to use their cell phone while driving.
In different states there are different cell phone law variations, but all do the same, they intend to prevent drivers from driving distractedly. Although, these laws are set in place, many do not adhere to and follow these laws. Furthermore, no state has banned the use of cell phones while driving, just adamant enforcement and strict restrictions. For example, fifteen states enforce the handheld cell-phone use law, which prohibits all drivers from using hand-held devices or cell-phones while driving. In addition to laws being put in place, if caught being on a cell-phone while driving, there are fines put in place.
On the other hand, there are many precautions that should be followed to prevent the use of cell phones while driving. Firstly, keeping your cell phone out of arm's length reach it should prevent the use of it. Secondly, if in a situation where a text message must be sent out, do it before driving and let whoever is being texted that you will be unreachable for a certain amount of minutes. Also, silencing a cell phone could be the difference in a life or death situation. Lastly, simply just keeping your focus on the road and not anything else could save a life.
Although cell-phones have detrimental effects on driving, they also have helpful factors as well. Many cell-phones have GPS systems that many people use while driving. Also, rideshare companies use cell-phones as a way to find riders and the drivers even use their cell-phones for GPS reasons. Furthermore, cell phones allow their users to make calls in the case of an emergency. For example, in the case of a serious car accident, where time is of the essence, cell phones are there for paramedics to be contacted immediately. Lastly, being able to use your cell phone while driving, permits you to be able to call authorities if they witness suspicious activity they have seen while driving.
Finally, using your cell-phone while driving has its' pros and cons. More importantly, its' cons. Cell phone related car accidents and fatalities continue to increase despite the legal legislative action by the states' government that prohibit specific cell phone related activities while driving. Regardless of the educational attempts about the risk of distracted driving and cell phone use to warn the general public, many refuse to abide by the law. In conclusion, drivers, in any capacity should not be able to use their cell phones while driving.

""Well, I don't know. I know a friend who started a clothing company last year, and went out of business because no bought her products! The only customer she had was me."" Mrs. Generic_Name said. ""That's unfortunate, well thank you for answering my question."" Generic_Name said. ""No problem my dear."" Mrs. Generic_Name said. ""Hey Generic_Name!"" Generic_Name said, ""How is your cell-phone business going?"" Generic_Name asked, ""It's going well, I sold twenty-five cell-phones in one day."" Generic_Name answered. ""Wow that's incredible!"" Generic_Name remarked. ""Why do you ask?"" Generic_Name asked suspiciously, ""Well I was thinking of starting a lemonade stand business, and I need your opinion."" Generic_Name said. ""Okay, I would recommend you to start your business because it's fun and you see satisfied customers."" answered Generic_Name. ""Thanks!"" Generic_Name said. It is important to ask people for their opinions because they help you to make the best choice, give advice, and share experience so you know what to expect when you make the decision.
First, we should ask for advice because they tell us the best choice. whether it is from experience or not, they can tell us their opinions and tell us what to do and what not to do. Maybe their business has gone out of business because they couldn't sell enough products or they didn't do something specific. For example, when Mrs. Generic_Name's friend started her clothing business, she didn't get any sales because her clothing prices were probably too high. No one would buy clothes that are more expensive. They wouldn't need to buy clothes that are way too expensive.
Secondly, you should listen to them when they tell you advice. Take the advice they give you and use it. The advice could help you with anything. You can use advice everyday. For example, my dad told me advice to do my homework and not procrastinate because later on, the homework will just pile on and I'll never be able to finish it even if I take eight hours during the day, I'll never finish because of the amount of homework I have to do is so much.
Lastly, when people share their business experiences when they started their own businesses, it's important to listen because it can help you when you end up in a situation that happens frequently like, when you don't sell enough of something or make enough money that you need and you might have to go out of business. Other entrepreneurs can help you when that situation occurs.
""Hello, you are my first customer."" That's lovely said Generic_Name's first customer. ""Would you like strawberry lemonade or regular lemonade?"" Generic_Name asked. ""I would like regular lemonade please."" Answered her customer, ""Okay that would be thirty cents."" Generic_Name said. ""Oh wow that's a reasonable price for a cup of lemonade!"" Her customer said as she was taking a sip of her drink. ""It's delicious!"" ""Thank you, come back next time!"" Generic_Name said.

But this year is different the students are designing their own projects. Students are relieved that they can choose their own project because, it gives them freedom,allows them to express their creativity, and convince.
However,teachers projects are the outline to assist the students for success. Teachers are there to educate the student through everything ""I'm here to train you, not hurt you"" from Jackie Chan(Karate Kid). The training is like the summer project to start the foundation for the future. Teachers formulate an effective summer project for the students because, they're reliable, preparation for the future, and introduce an formidable task. Freedom is quite important to everyday life, so why not in projects as well.
Firstly, the students have freedom in their projects. Students could pick topics that interest them to formulate a project into it. Students could relate to ""now I do what I want""(Lil Uzi).The song is quite literal to the freedom for the project. The freedom aspects is very uncommon in assignments, during summer usually students would have to read a book of the teachers choice and write an essay about it. Students having a choice and freedom is unique to choose there own project. A student with special skills could demonstrate there talents and natural abilities.
Secondly, the students are allowed to express their creativity. Students with skills set could demonstrate their talent in there project. For example a student that is good with technology could add effects to the project and have no limitations from the teacher. Students are like magicians ""magicians don't reveal there tricks""(Inspection) every student could have a skill set that they're not showing which is why they're like magicians. Students that are able to demonstrate there creativity is game changing in there project. Theres a saying that time is the foundation of life.
Thirdly, the students convince for the project is very important. Students can complete there project anywhere he or she goes. Average students tend to go on trips during the summer to explore and create family bonding. While they're on the trip they could also complete there project because it's in there own rules and convince. Students value there summer vacation time so convince doing the project is very important. ""you have to treat time wisely""(One Piece) students wouldn't want to miss a trip because of a project that there teacher assigned, so students would prefer the convince to do there project when ever and where ever.
Finally, students would appreciate to demonstrate what they're best at, there time over the summer break, and express what ever they want.

Driverless Cars Would Be Positive Aspects Due To The Fact That They Use Half The Feul Of Today's Taxis , They Offer Far More Flexibility Than A Bus Would , And Many Other Aspects . Driverless Cars Would Have Negative Aspects Do To The Fact That The Driverless Cars Can Not Navigate Work Zones Or Go Around Accidents Without A Driver .
My First Reason , That They Use Half The Feul Of Today's Taxis , Is Because Who Wants To Keep Causing Global Warming By The Gases That Come Out Of Your Car ? In Order To Even Have Driverless Cars We Have To Have An Earth To Keep Them On . Global Warming Is Basically Over Heating Our Earth And Is Caused By Many Things Including The Gases That Come From Cars . Using Half The Fuel Of Today's Cars For A Far More Better Transportation Sounds Pretty Good To Me .
My Second Reason , They Offer Far More Flexiblity Than A Bus , Is Because Buses Have Certain Routes And They Hold More Than One Person . I Assume That The Driverless Car Would Be A Mix Of A Bus And A Taxi Not Physically Though . Meaning It Would Pick You Up Wherever You Are Like A Bus And Taxi But It Would Drop You Off At An Exact Location Like A Taxi . Only Its A Far More Upadated Version Meaning Its Takes Half The gass We Use Not & Can Do & Go More Places Then Buses .
But Driverless Cars Have Some Negative Aspects As Well . One reason That They Are Negative Is Because They Cant Navigate Work Zones Without A Driver. So If Your Riding In A Driverless Car It Doesnt Know Where Work Sites Would Be Causing Traffic Jams And Maybe Even Crashes . Everyone Wants To Know Whether Their Drive Home Will Be Safe Or Not . Because There Is No Way For You To Inform A Driverless Car That Work Zones Are Ahead If They Dont Have A Driver .
Last But Not Least A Driverless Car Is Not Able To Go Around Accidents Without A Driver . This Means That The Driverless Car Would Either Do Three Things If Confronted By A Accident . It Would Either Cause A Big Traffic Jam , Cause Another Accident , Or Even Cause Angry Citizens . Everyone Knows An Angry Citize Is Not A Nice Citizen. Then If There Is Already A Traffic Jam Due To The First Accident And A Driverless Care Cant Get Around It , That Would Cause A Huge Traffic Jam .
All In All Those Were My Reasons Why Driverless Cars Are Both Positive And Negative Aspectd .

A4F6C07D57FB,"The author of this article, "" The Challenge of Exploring Venus,"" he starts off by telling us about the planet. He included some fun facts like it is one of the brightest points of light in the night sky. But later on he gets down to his main point studying Vensus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. The author then stating numerous of challenges and risks that Venus gives like corrosive sulfuric acid, a thick atmosphere of 97% carbon dioxide that blankets venus, how the average temperature reaches 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and that the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet. Earlier in the article the author states to us how, "" Humans have sent numerous spacecraft to land on this cloud-draped world. Each previous mission was unmanned, and for good reason, since no spaceraft survived the landing more than a few hours.""
Further on in the article the author starts to support his idea progressively more. Starting in paragraph 5 he starts to use evidence on how big space administrations like The National Aeronautics and Space Administration or further known as NASA is coming up with more ideas and technology that will create a more safe supporting conditions that will with hold the hostile conditions that Venus holds. A little bit into paragraph 5 the author claims how they invision a blimp like vehicle that hovers 30 or so miles above the rolling Venusian landscape. This invention will not allow us to be able to touch Venus's surface and will only be able to provide limited sight on the ground conditions but will avoid all the unfriendly ground conditions. At the end of paragraph 5 the author states to us that "" Solar power would be plentiful, and radiation would not exceed Earth levels. Not easy, but survivable for humans."" From that last sentence right there it proves to us that it is survivable for humans, but it is not easy. After hearing that sentence that the author used to help support his idea.

7A86A98F3909,"Facial Action Coding System is a potential and valuable way to read students' emotions while in class. Through the use of this technology, it could bring forth various opportunites. The system could open doors to the genuine thoughts of students to let adults better understand a view into their minds . Utilizing this technology will illustrate a positive change to the school by giving instructors insight to a students mental health, engagment with certain topics, and learning style.
The mental health of a student is a vital piece of information that a teacher should know. In the text, the author states that, ""Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication...So computers need to understand that too"" (Alto 6). By writing this, he conveys to readers that the software can process your emotions. Therefore, if a student demonstrates a pattern of unhappy emotion, an administrator can then speak to the student and find out what might be going on in their home life or if they need to see a counselor. If a computer could give insight to happy or sad emotions, what other emotions could it detect?
The knowledge of how a student learns or the level of engagment they have within the classroom is a key component to modifying lessons and ensuring the most enriching education for a certain individual. Within the article, Alto inserts a quote from Thomas Huang, a professor, in which he says, ""A classroom computer could recongnize when a student is becoming confused or bored"" (Alto 6). This means that opportuinities for a student to get a more indivualized education increase, and teachers will have the ability to revise lessons in order to adjust to level of understanding majority of students have. It would also create a tremendous chance for the students who are falling below average to be identified and recieve the propering tutoring needed. Would these new adjustments then lead to a better understanding of learning styles?
Each individual in a classroom has a unique way of learning that requires attention and adaption on the lesson in order to fully let the student reach their potential to excell with their education. The author claims that the technology could, ""...modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor"" (Alto 6). This gives the information that the system could be able to analyze the way students learn, and give access to various learning styles of their student. This would enable them to then adhere to the students education needs, and therefore open doors to make break throughs with children that had been struggling.
There are many factors to consider when contemplating the use of this technology in the classroom. Although, the overall result of putting this system in place would be positive. The ability to detect students emotions will enable instructors to teach more attentively to each indivdual student, causing the childs achievement level to rise snd their education to strengthen. Enriching education and making it personal to the student will in time increase passing test scores, the number of college graduates, and literacy rate.

Driving is dangerous for those who don't really know a lot About it. You have to be sharp on the look about. What if a kid runs out to get his ball and you don't pay attention because you were on the phone? That would be devastating for your and the kid's family, having to act like you really wasn't on the phone lying that you didn't see him. All because they were on to phone and couldn't wait till, they were at a full stop to check it.
I think that's the only time you can check your phone, and I'm not talking about checking your whole social media accounts. I mean just making sure no one texted you or missed an important call. If you do pull in anywhere and check, if its that important you wouldn't put anyone else's life in danger. Its all safe or not safe at all and I don't care how long you've been driving anything can't happen to anyone. You can't de greedy and pick yourselves over a kid or young person who might have had something great happening.
Its never okay to check your phone while moving your vehicle. A lot of people lose their life's and others because there being irresponsible and just can't leave there phone alone. I hate driving and seeing someone texting like put it down before you run into me. Also, there are so many injury's and deaths because of it. There are almost 390,000 injury's each year and one out of fours car accidents are based on texting and driving.
Should a person text and drive? Really don't you think its all up to them because I don't. those are the reasons why I wouldn't want no one texting and driving its dangerous, and immature. I think everyone should just listen to the rules. Especially if you think about it, a law that could save your life or anyone else on the road. I think people shouldn't text and drive.

108CCC90A2FB,"Dear Principle,
I think that is an excellent idea making students have at least a B average to participate in any sports or activities during school. If you keep this policy, it can really help the students to do better at two things! I think students need education before free time because when you go to college, you cant just show up and say I want to play football and just leave, you will get kicked out! I think they need students to understand the importance of what you need in the future, not jut now. For example, if you play football, cool but that probably wont get you anywhere in life. Out of this school I bet only one student will actually go through with it and turn it into their future in to NFL football out of all the fifty students. I also think if you get students to work first then they will even have more fun playing then before because after they work they get it all done and don't have to worry about teachers making them make stuff up like they probably were before. If students could just play football and not worry about their grades, they wont have anything to do in life. I also think students will pick fun over school so if you give them the work before they can do anything, then they will eventually learn some good stuff to having a B.
After knowing some students had nothing to do in life because they were working on sports than school, I would be ashamed. Its not right for students to suffer when principles can take a charge. And for some girls, they are really into volleyball but you need to know all different school related stuff for those skills. If you did horrible in school and kept failing then decided to get out of school, then you cant play sports either because they're apart of the school. And for basketball, for the plays, you need to know math in order to do anything! If they don't care about their education or math, they will also do horrible in sports so you need school. But for students, if you don't have to do something that's school related, then people aren't going to do it so you have to make it a rule to be a B average at least.
Actually a B isn't that hard of what you are asking, it isn't an A like its impossible to get. Its just asking for the same effort some students out into their sports.
I think before this gets passed onto next generations, we have to change it now before more students live it.
Students might only get the B average to play sports but its better than a C because at least you know they are still learning to get that B for quizzes they have to do. But i think that will be a great idea to make it a B average. Also at this school we have activities that students love.
I like being in the club No Place for Hate and i understand if my grade is a C i wouldn't be able to do it so I will make sure I don't get lower than a B even so I can be in the club because I like it. It is also kind of an award, a privilege to be in certain clubs and if you cant still keep your grades, you loose it till you get your grades up again. In the later run, I think tons of students would be thankful for the principle actually standing up to the students. Making a B average to any sports or activities is a great idea. It can really help students out. I know sports is a big thing, I even like sports and the activities we have but its not going to be easy for us in high school or college so we need to get prepared before it is too late.

In the passages say ""The Electoral College process consists of selection of the electors, the meeting of the electors where they vote for president and Vice President, and the counting of electoral votes by Congress."" (Source 1, by Office of the Federal Register) I think the people should vote for the president they want to rule the country, also i think is unfair because people have a voice and they can choose for whoever they want. ""Under the electoral college system, voters voe not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president"" (Source 2, by Bradford Plumer) Why voting for slate electors when you can vote for the president right away, it is a wate of time. As the passage was saying ""The Electoral College is widely regarded as a anachronism, a non-democratic method of selecting a president that ought to be overruled by declaring the candidate who receives the most popular votes the winner."" (Source 3, by Richard A. Posner) This means that Electoral College prosses is out of age and non-democratic.
Some people might think that the Electoral College is right. ""The Constitution as a compromise between electon of the President by a vote in Congress and election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens."" (Source 1, by the Office of the Federal Register) This shows us that the electors are better qualified than ordinary people, they know what the country needs and who is better to rule it.
Indeed, the Electoral College is unfair and a waste of time. who will know what is better of the country than the people who walks in it everyday, who has seen what is going on and who is fighting for making this country a better place for the future.

D03194D9A636,"Driving while using a cellular device is very dangerous, but it can be useful at certain times. The use of cellphones ranges from informational, to recreational activities. The use of cellphones during driving can be catastrophic not many people have the skills to watch the road and their phone at the same time. The fact of the matter is that it's too dangerous to let people use cell phones while they drive, the accidental crashes that happen each year would skyrocket. I advocate for a ban of drivers using cellphones while driving.
""Approximately 660,000 drivers try and use cellphones behind the wheel of an automobile"" according to edgarsnyder. com. This is extremely risky as not being focused while driving can lead to death by car crash, not just for the driver at fault but everyone in the crash. The drivers of America need to be attentive when operating a vehicle because of: pedestrians, stop signs, public and or private property, cars, trucks, etc. The mortality rate of people in car crashes are very high, and the property damages done are very extreme, not to mention that it can cause problems later in life as well. Overall it's not even worth the trouble to use your cellular device while driving.
To look at the perspective through another person's shoes is the key to understanding why this is true. The thought of leaving this world or being the cause of someone else leaving this world is enough for me not to even think about using a cellphone while driving.

A0F853DB728E,"Let the people vote! They know what they want, so let them have a say. Let them have what they want. The state senator should change the voting system to popular vote, because you're giving the American people what they want, it gets more people to participate and vote, and it lessens conflict.
To start, the senator should change the voting system to popular vote, because it gives the people what they want. If we rely on the Electoral College to elect our congress, presidents, senators, or whatever then what are the people voting for? People vote for who they want, so wouldn't make sense to elect the canidate with the most votes, since thats what the people want. Say there were two students running for class president, PROPER_NAME and PROPER_NAME. PROPER_NAME got 75% of the students votes while PROPER_NAME only got 25% of the students votes. In the end PROPER_NAME wins the election, because a group of teachers voted she should be president. Thats how the electoral college acts, like their vote counts more then the peoples.
To add on, they should change the voting system to popular vote, because it gets more people to participate and vote. Many people are not going to waist their time and vote for the canidate they want, when most likely that canidate will not even get elected. This will effect the whole process, if there is a decrease in people voting. To encourage people to vote give them hope that the canidate they vote for will have a shot at winning the election. They should not have to think my vote does not matter. They should feel like they actually have a say in the election.
Lastly, changing the voting system to a poplular vote can lessen conflict. When people see that who they are voting has a great chance at winning, but does not get elected, lets just say there can be outbursts. People usually start to protest in what they believe is fair. To decrease insidents like this give the people a fair vote and fair election. The people should come together and fairly vote on the canidate they want to be elected. For the benefit of the American citizens, let them know they have a voice in the elections, do not take their freedom of speech away from them; give them what they want. Yes we can vote!
To conclude the voting system needs to be changed to popular vote, because it gives the people what they want, it will get more people to participate and vote, and lastly it lowers conflict.

94C2AC40437B,"Dear Sir/Ma'am,
The idea of not letting kids participate in sports or school activities is on some levels a good idea and a bad idea. There are many ways it could be a bad idea, for instance, some kids might not be able to and if they aren't able to participate then the program won't prosper, which means that the program would serve as no use to the school. It is also a bad idea because parents could look forward to seeing their child out on that field or on the court playing a sport they use to play growing up. Parents that take the time to go to their children's activities are very good parents and would like to see their kids grow up to play one of those sports. It is also a bad idea because maybe basketball or soccer or a sport or activity is all that is keeping that kid out of becoming a criminal.
The idea could also serve some benefits. The fact that some kids couldn't do what they love would make some break down and do all their work to maintain that B average. That alone could be all the school needs to boost test scores. Some kids would probably say that they don't care if they play a sport or participate in any activity, but you would have a vast majority that like to do what they love and doing what you love is what you do best, isn't it?
There are more bad consequences than good, so if it were me i would just leave it the way it is. I mean a C average is better than a D or F average isn't it? So I and many others would say to leave it the same. You are the principal and we are the students. All you want to do is make sure we get a good education. So for the sake of us and our school, please leave it the way it is. Maybe all we need is someone to sit down with us and tells us just how important it is to just do our best. That we don't need to be a genius to get through school that all we need to do is listen to the teachers and do what they say and do it how they show us. Then it wouldn't make it so hard to get through school.
So in conclusion, make an educated decision based on what has happened with other schools that have done the same thing so that way you won't make the wrong decision. You are our principal and we know that all you do is to benefit us. So when you make a decision then just make the decision to leave everything the same. Its done wonders for this long so it should still have some wonders left to work.

E5C8A407F6EE,"Summer is a sweet, warm time full of pool parties, ice cream trucks, and forgetting what it feels like to be in school. Although it is a lovely break, it often poses problems for both students and teachers when the students come back to school unprepared. This is why the practice of assigning summer projects has become very popular; they assure that students continue their education while they are out of school. However, there is a debate on whether the students or the teachers should be designing the summer projects. It is very clear that the teachers should be designing summer projects because they can prepare their students for their future classes, and if students were to design their own projects, there would be severe issues.
Teachers should design summer projects because they can prepare their students for their future classes. Although the students do not know the exact route that their education is going to take, teachers often have a very good idea. Teachers know what their students need to work on, and may be able to assign projects geared towards particular students to help them succeed in the future. This could be significantly more beneficial to the students than students arbitrarily choosing a form of assignment that is unlikely to improve their skills. A specific instance of a teacher assigning a helpful summer project would be if middle school students had decided to take research biology their freshman year of high school. A teacher could assign a summer assignment to these students because she would know that there are vastly increased expectations and responsibilities in high school biology compared to middle school science. The summer assignment could be crucial to help introduce the rising high school students to the formats and expectations of their new class.
Teachers should certainly design summer projects because if students were to design them, there would be significant issues. One problem posed by students designing their own summer projects would be that students might design projects unrelated to what they are doing at school. This would not harm their education, but it would certainly be a waste of time and energy if students were to arbitrarily choose their project and dedicate time and effort to it, and in the end have it be useless to helping them further their education; this is especially wasteful in the context of being able to put that time to something else productive. Another problem posed by having students design their own projects is that their projects may not be stimulating or challenging. Even if students managed to design experiments relevant to their schooling, it is unlikely that the project that they design will stimulate a higher level of thinking than they used previously.
Although they may concede some of my points, supporters of students designing their own summer projects might argue that if the teachers were to design the summer projects of students, then the students would likely care little for the topic chosen and put little effort into their projects. They would argue that students should design their own projects because they would be enthusiastic and excited to learn about something that they chose that interests them. Although this argument has its merits, it is flawed; teachers realize that students do not put effort into projects that they are not invested in, so teachers have methods of getting students to become invested in their projects. One method to encourage students to put effort into their summer projects is that teachers will design the framework of a project, but let the students individualize it and research what interests them. Another method of encouraging students to give effort is making their summer projects a school grade for the next year. These provide incentives for student interest and investment in their work, which yields more positive results. Although those advocating for student-designed experiments have some good points, it is still very clear that the outcomes and positives of teacher-designed experiments far outweigh the negatives.
The education of the young is important to society, and it must not be interrupted or stopped. Summer assignments are essential in keeping this continuity, and it is essential that people are interested in the education they are being given. However, letting the disinterested choose what their education consists of undermines the education system as a whole. It is important that students take interest in learning, for a drive for learning and understanding is how new knowledge comes about; however, it is important that teachers set the foundations for how education is executed so that their students can thrive in the future.",,757,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

On paragraph eight of this paasage it states that faces don't lie. while I do think that is true I do not think we are at a point where this technology can be accurate enough for us to be able to determine our emotions. Although I do not think it is accurate right now I do believe that in the future technology will able to accurately read our faces and find our emotions and this article shows why and how it is possible.
The first way that this passage shows us how emotion reading is possible is by bringing us an example in paragraph one of the Mona Lisa. The paragraph says that she is 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry. This example right here is meant to show us how the technology can work but brings us more questions that we hopfully get answers for. In paragraph three lots of backround information is given to us so that we can get an idea on how they were able to determine what the emotions of the girl in painting are. the author talks about the main emotions humans show and how technology can now allow us to mimick the muscles that humans have in their face and the movments they can make. In paragraph four the author elaborates a bit more on the technology and how it can be used to search for those mixed emotions. The author cites quotes from Dr. Huang, one of the main people behind the project, in order to give insight to the readers who may not fully belive that reading emotions through technology is possible. In paragraph five it states that if everday normal humans can also read at the very least the basics of human emotions based on how a human looks. It could most certainly be possible for a computer to do it but better as well. In paragraph six Dr. Huang talks about the possible futures this technology can go with more advances. He says that if your computer can read your emotions it can help a student with their homework or exlcude ads that do not appeal to that person. He also discusses about how versatile the technology is and that it can be used in order to improve the facial exressions for characters in video games while maintaining a more realsitic look that many video games have. In the last two paragraphs it shows how you can try to recognize some emotions yourself like a computer would.
I do think that this technology will go somewhere and has the potential to be able to with the rate that it is going.

A8683674019F,"Dear Senator
The Electoral College was created by our Founding Fathers. They put this in the Constitution to make electing the President of the United States fair and equal to all the citizens in the United States. The Electoral College should not be changed no matter what. To go against the Constitution would be to go against the nation, for we were built on the leadership of our Founding Fathers and the guidance of the Constitution. This Contitstution was created so that the people have more power than the government. So I strongly believe that the Electoral College should stay the same. It is the governmet that needs to change. There is nothing wrong with the Electoral College, it is just the ones that run it. So if there should be any change, it should be the government that should change, not the Electoral College!
The Ectoral College is a compromise between the election of the President by a vote in Congress and by the popular vote of the citizens. When the voting starts the electors come to a meeting place and vote on who they want as President. After the meeting, there has to be a majority of two hundred seventy electoral votes for the election of the president. The electoral College is as I have said it before is fair and equal to all the citizens in the United States. To take this away now would be a catastraphe, because that would mean that all the other presidents in the past would not have even been our Presidents, the history behind them would be rubish and not even true. Some states may have a ""winner-take-all"" sort of thing but they are together and voting together as on state. Some of them may vote for the other one but the majority of them is for one person. Some of the states believe that it is not even worth it to have a ""winner-take-all"", because they think it is unfair. Then after the presidential election comes the ""Certificate of Ascertainment"" which is a list of all those who ran for President and there respective electors.
The electoral college has been around ever since the Constitution was created. It may be unfair now, but if there would have been any changes to the Constitution it would have been done then instead of now. The Electoral College was probably a great idea when the the Constitution fisrt started out. Then the years have gone by and now we want change. Well I see that the Electoral College can be unfair but it is also fair in it's own right. Because of the fiasco in the year of two thousand about the abolishment of the Electoral College, it has left a scare in our nation about the government, because you guys are giving out the information on the candidates to late or not at all. That SUCKS, for most states because they may not even get one advertisment about the candidates any where or even a commercial on T.V. If the vote for the abolishment of the Electoral College does happen, then there is nothing that I can do about it, but you can still change your ways. You can make it fair and not irrational. Even send the ""Certificate of Ascertainment"" earlier than you have done before now. This is a nation of freedom and peace, how are you trying to keep the peace with other countries if you can not even keep the peace within your own?
The government is the real problem, not the Electoral College. It may be unfair, because the majority of the people may have chosen one person while the electors may choose the other. Then when they add it together it is there vote that counts more than the peoples. If the government had only done the right thing and elected what the people wanted, then no one would have a problem with the Electoral College. It is stupid that the government is listening to what we have to say but not hearing it completly. The Constitution is a document of equality for the people. Not the government. If our nations democracy is a democracy then they should listen more to what the people have to say and not what the government has to say. If the government would do this then things would run more smoothly within our country and there would be less conflict.
This nation is a nation of freedom and peace. Not for a bunch of people who are power hungry. The Electoral College is fair and equal, it is the government that is not. If the government would only change for the better then there would be no problem. This nation is still young compared to all the other countries. They have gotten all there issues taken care of, but we have not. The reason is that some of the officials are power hungry and do things to take care of themselves and not others, but some are not and they want to make this country better. Those are the ones that should stay and not the power hungry ones. They make it fair. So I strongly belive that the Electoral College should stay the same, and that the government should be the one to change.

Studying from a distance won't do us any harm, but maybe actually visiting Venus could hurt us. It could hurt us because we don't know what could happen. Exploring isn't always worth seeking, especially causing a disruption to mother nature.
There's no harm on studying planet Venus from earth. Living on Venus or visiting, that shoudn't even be a consideration. ""A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus. On the planet's surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet"" (Para 3). Venus is too hot to even consider visiting for a personal study as a human. Venus is known for it's volcanoes and powerful earthquakes. ""Beyond high pressure and heat, Venusian geology and weather present additional impediments like erupting volcanoes, powerful; earthquacks, and frequent lighting strikes.."" (Para 3). These reasons vould be because of how close Venus is close to the Sun and is the hottest planet in the solar system by far.
Other reasons why studying Venus from afar is a best choice is the fact that it would be a difficult task to fly human out for a study. ""...because most forms of light cannot penetrate the dense atmosphere, rendering standard forms of photography and videography ineffective. More importantly, researchers cannot take samples of rock, gas, or anything als, from a distance"" (Para 6). Landing on Venus and studying would be hard becasue of the unstable conditions. Not due to weather, but due to how spaceships would act on the Venus because of the geographical features.
Even though these opinions are true, many scientist believe this mission could be done. Weather isn't too bad for humans to visite the planet reseachers say. ""At thirty-plus miles above the surface, temperatures would still be toasty at around 170 degrees Fahrenheit, but the air pressure would be close to that of sea level on Earth. Solar power would be plentiful, and radiation would not exceed Earth levels. Not easy conditions, but survivable for human"" (Para 5).
Many scientist are creating ways to make it possible for humans to land on the planet. ""Many researchers are working on innovations that would allow our machines to last long enough to contribute meaningfully yo our knowledge of Venus"" (Para 6). Despite the risks, scientist and researchers are working hand in hand to figure out a way to make it possible to land on Venus.
Even though scientist are finding many ways to land on Venus, it is a very hardful and long study that might be able to contruste or not. Either way this can hurt many people.

3ADF2D3323BE,"TEACHER_NAME
Allowing students to use cell phones at school is alright as long as you don't use them in class. The reason why I say this is because when you are in class the teacher is teaching and if you start using it, it's disrespectful. Also, you'll get caught and your phone will be taken away. When you start having free time or lunch period, then its alright for you to use your phone because nobody is teaching you. My opinion is that its better off if we can use our phones while having lunch or break time, so nobody can tell you to put your phone away or take it away from you because its our time to do whatever we want to do.
Using phones in class is really disrespectful and you'll never learn anything in class. If you are in a middle of a class, your teacher is teaching and suddenly you have a phone call or text. you shouldn't pick it up. Ignore the phone and stay with what the teacher is teaching you about. Also, you shouldn't leave your phone on in class because then its easier to concentrate what teacher is telling you. If your phone is on then your phone will vibrate, ring, and bother you. Then the phone's noises will urge you to pick it up.
The bell ring's and its time for lunch or break time. Now, finally you can use your phone. Nobody is going to bother you and no teacher will be teaching you. So, now you can do whatever you want. Look at the text your friend gave you or call him. Also, no teacher or principle will come up to you and take your phone away because it's your time to do whatever you want.

4B6C254FEE39,"Imagine waking up to a call in the middle of the night saying you lost your loved one in a car accident because they decided a text was more important than their life? Texting while driving increases the risk of an accident 23.2 times compared to unimpaired driving which is a sobering statistic provided by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute in 2018. Using the phone while driving has spread throughout the nation, and with people being so impatient in today's society, texting and driving has had damaging effects on people and their families. Phones have become a key part of our lives but it's our job as people to know when and where to use our phones especially as drivers. Driving while distracted by the phone can affect everyone involved physically, mentally, as well as financially.
Driving and texting is something very common, but a serious problem with detrimental effects. The main detrimental effect could be physical. When a person texts and drives, a person could cause an accident, which could not only endanger themselves, but it could endanger others.
According to the National Safety Council, ""Cell phone use while driving leads to 1.6 million crashes each year."" These are deaths added to this already hectic world that could have been easily avoided.
Not only can texting while driving affect a person physically but it can also affect a person mentally.
While physical damage to a vehicle or physical injury to a person can often be resolved in a matter of days or weeks, emotional damage may last a lifetime. Author and blogger Rebecca Goldfarb recently categorized the types of emotional damage as shock, anger, guilt, anxiety and depression and even post-traumatic stress. Goldfarb added many people who are involved in an accident as either the driver or as the victim often need to receive professional care if the difficult emotions are lasting longer than expected.
The final way in which driving while distracted may negatively affect a person is financially. According to the website big AZ BIG Media, there are six types of costs that may happen following a car accident. The first two immediate financial costs involve the repair of personal property and the costs with healthcare and medical treatment. The second two financial costs involve possible legal fees and an increase to car insurance. Finally, the last two costs involve the loss of employment (income and benefits) and the possible cost of a career change if the person cannot return to their job.
In conclusion, texting while driving is not a wise decision. Texting while driving can negatively affect everyone involved physically, mentally and even financially. Oprah Winfrey summarized this point on April 26, 2010 on her website with these words ""But this is a real problem we can do something about and get immediate results. All we have to do is hang up or switch off. It really is that simple. Once we do that, not another son or daughter will have to die because someone was on the phone and behind the wheel-and just not paying attention."" The solution is simple, don't text and drive.

secondly , it will teach the student responsibility .how? well the student will learn that some things just wont be fun in life. for example cleaning up trash on the floor may not be as fun but it teaches the student responsibility. also it assures them that they should do what is best for them. cleaning on the streets may make them realize that they should clean there room also. don't you think that is true?

3F1F0EDF0BA4,"The Seagoing Cowboys program is a once-in-a-lifetime trip that will change your life, just like it did mine. It was a spontaneous change of my life! I had a great time knowing that all the work I was doing was saving lives and helping others, and it made me look at things at a whole different perspective. I still learned more about livestock, even though I am a small-town farm-boy. I learned that life isn't perfect for everyone, and that I was taking my living conditions for granted. These things have made me a better person.
It moved me to see all of these people living in ruins. Tatthered clothing, rubble everywhere, mass graves, dead/injured livestock, and people were starving to death. The Seagoing Cowboys got over to Europe (and Asia) and reversed a lot of this. It came to my attention that we, Americans, are taking our lives for granted. This was a relatively easy realization to make, as things are in ruins.
I am more sensitive to problems people have and now know that I'm an animal-person. I now look at things through a more ""maybe it's worse"" perspective. This has made me a better friend, better man, and more well-liked. I have made no regrets since my return. I think that once you see someone living in these conditions, you reach out to everyone a little more.
If I could, I would do it again! If you try this, you will leave knowing you made a difference. The people who save lives doing this are heroic.

Why do you think that, well I have some reasons that explains, why most people ask more then one person.
One of the reasons is that you are not shore about the advice this person gave you and you ask like your grandpa.
And your grandpa says the same thing now you be more convince of what the first person tolled you. also you be like that person was right of what he told me and later you be asking him for more advice and he will be Abel to help you.
The second Reason is if someone you ask dose not know the other person might know what advice to give you Also it can help you a lot and if you don't believe this person you go and ask some other Peron and after you will realize that the advice was a great advice and you will feel better.
Also the third reason is that one person can have more expierense then other you can ask a kid of your age and they might not know what to say. But if you ask a adult they might know but mostly the persons that might know more are your grandparents. because they have lived more in this world and a lot of stuff might of happen to them so that why. I think that the persons that knows more about advice are your grandparents your grandma your grandpa or maybe your mom or dad but mostly your grandparents.
So that what I think of that why you should ask more then one person I give you the reasons aged One is because more then one or two persons or even more can convince you of the advice the first told you. Two is if the first person you told dose not know maybe the other person can know what to say to you. the tired one is that one person has more experience then the other one like a senor can know more then a kid well he defenetly knows more then a kid because a kid just stared living his life and a adult and a senor have been living more time then a child perhaps yes a teen can know more about technology but a adult has more expirens those are my reason you should ask for more then one person oppinon so you can be shour of the advice and yourself.",,426,Seeking multiple opinions,Independent,"When people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person.

DDFF2C1D1A58,"In the article, ""Driverless Cars Are Coming,"" the author presents both positive and negative aspects of driverless cars. After personally reading this article, I believe a driverless car would be a positive impact on the road today. The article mentions many positive things including fuel efficency, crash proof, advanced safety sensors, and an understanding computer that knows when driving is too difficult for its self. I believe that driverless cars will become a positive impact due to extreme environmental safety, driver safety, and intelligent computer understanding.
In the first paragraph, the author states that, ""The cars he foresees would use half the fuel of todays taxis and offer far more flexibility than a bus."". In our environment, we have had many mishaps dealing with cars and the pollution they cause to our environment from the day they were made. When the author states that the driverless cars would use half the fuel as that of a taxi, it brings hope for the environment that so far no popular vehicle could provide. The cars will not only be protecting the environment, but also humans.
The author informs us that the driverless car has gone ""half a millon miles without a crash""(P2) which is a major factor when it comes to the health and well being of humans on and around the roadways. The author continues to talk about Google's modified car that, ""needed a whole lot of sensors""(P4) and ""had become more advanced to detect and respond to the danger of out-of-control skids""(P5). To a beginning driver like myself, a car can be very overwhelming with everything and one you must beware of. The driverless cars are decked out with sensors and cameras to do exactly that. All of the sensors and montiors will help the driver and passagers continue driving without the worry of an accident unlike how driving is now. The driverless not only have smart sensors, they also have smart minds.
The driverless car comes with an extreme amount of sensors for protection but the car is also so smart, it understands when driving is beyond it's ability and that a human must drive in this area. The author tells us just how smart these cars are, ""They can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves, but all are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills, such as navigating through work zones and around accidents.""(P7). The driverless car is not exactly driverless yet, but it is due to the important promise that anyone in or around the driverless car will be safe.
In conclusion, the driverless car is more fuel efficent and environmentally safe compared to the vehicles we drive today. Not only is the driverless car safe to the environment though, it is also safe to all passengers and pedestrians. The driverless car has many sensors and cameras so that when it is driving, it is as if an aware human is driving instead. The driverless car does have its limits though but it is not afraid to admit it. When roadways become too difficult of the car to drive its self, the car informs the driver when his/her turn is to drive. The driverless is a fall proof, safe car to be driving on our roads today.

I agree with the first policy. I agree because i think that it is a fair deal that students can bring their cell phones but they have to turn them off during classes. It is fair because teachers wont get mad and complain about us using our cell phones in classes. I understand that it can cause a big problem on our free time but where i come from in my mind is that what if something happen to us or to the school. Teachers cant watch all of the children they don't know what will happen. All the teachers cant let all the children use their phone if its an emergency because i would believe that its over 200 students in the school that we are in.

We students have been hearing stories of you taking away sports unless we have a B average.

It is a great idea it will further some students academically it should give students' s who need help more time to focus on their work. The students might study more so that they can pick their scores up to be one of the students playing and not having to worry about grades because they have it in the bag.
It will encourage students to put more effort into their work. If students see that all they need is to push a little more and they will make it, most of them will. If I was not making good grades by a mere couple points i would just try a little harder to at least say I tried. It is even better when you can say "" I made it"".

7B77B6E76249,"Dear Principal,
Students are going to always text and call each other; they can't get enough of their little, beeping, mechanical devises. Banning them is just going to make students find other ways to use their phones. This is why I propose to allowing phones to be allowed during lunch and free times, not during class. It would be more efficient in getting kids out of trouble, having them focus more in class, and less phones being taken.
Getting in trouble is a kid's worst nightmare, whether it looks like it or not. Cell phone abuse can be a bad problem-maker for kids, unfortunately. If we let kids mess around with those gadgets at that time, it might make them not want to use them as much during classes. Who knows, maybe we might get lucky and they wont get into trouble at all anymore.
If the student gets out the urge to text earlier, then they would have no problem focusing in class. They learn more listening to the teacher then by finding out how boring it is in their best friends class is. One of my teachers has had this problem before, so she actually sent the students a text, telling them to focus! how she got their phone numbers is beyond me. Maybe we should also let teachers text in class as well!
I have had my phone taken during lunch when I needed help on something and my friend was there to help me. but instead of getting my problems solved, it got my phone taken away. If we allowed students to use lunch as an opportunity to use phones not just to text but for important stuff such as homework, then the school wouldn't have to worry about the overdose of Blackberry's. Parents also get mad when they find out their child's favorite toy is taken away not only at the child, but at the school itself. Now there's a way to help ease up their mind.
If we allow students to use cell phones during lunch and other free times, the children will continue to learn but without a distraction and their finger-tips. Isn't that a policy we can all agree on?

97D41DF89A0B,"When the word summer comes into people's mind, they think of going to the beach, amusement park, hang out with friends and visit another country. Even though summer is designed to be a break for people after working for a long time, schools may have an alternative motive. Schools would assign summer projects to either students or teachers but the ones who need the most would be the students. I know students themselves don't like to do anything in the summer, but it's necessary to maintain what they have learned and to prepare for the coming year that may or may not be a challenge. I've seen such students in my grade who have completed their projects and are ready to journey through the storm.
During a break, whether it be a summer, spring, or winter break we don't just take a physical break but a mental break as well. With this mental break, our minds are drifted into our own fantasy away from education. This can be good for students to have a break from school that takes up most of our train of thought and not to have enough time to enjoy themselves. However, when the break is over, most students return to school being lazy and tired to learn. In addition to being lazy and tired, students as well may have forgotten most of what they have learned during the year. Now imagine that for a summer break that is two months long with no assignments or projects to complete; this would have students to be mindless zombies who aren't ready to return to school and may have difficulty readjusting to the system. Summer projects designed for students would keep their thinking cap on for a while to maintain what they have learned throughout the year and return to implement their own knowledge into the new material they learn.
As we all know each year of school, work, or life brings their own challenges for each of us. In students case it would be school mainly that they would have to deal challenges such as new learning materials, longer assignments and short projects. With no student-designed projects for the summer, students may have more of a challenge to be prepared for the coming year since they have their brain laying in bed. Usually student-designed projects are assigned for upcoming 1st graders, 2nd graders, 3rd graders, etc. With these projects students will have an idea what to expect a bit for the next coming year but to be ready for whatever come to them and complete it easily.
Overall, students would be the ones who need this assigned project to maintain what they have learned and to prepare for next year. Even though there may be others who argue that summer is meant to be a break for students and that teachers are the ones who should be assigned to the project since it's their job and they must know what they should do for the next coming year. I can understand those counter claims but teachers could be able to plan out during a school year instead during summer because teachers also need a break. Even though summer is meant to be a break for students, it would drain their brain from what they have spent months learning and not be ready for the coming year. I know that students want to have a break with no assignments or projects, but with them they could be successful in the long run.",,580,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

Many people think that outliers in every situation is a good thing; not in this case. I do not believe that driverless cars is a good idea. I believe this because of false advertisement, reaction speed, and liability
When I think of driverless cars, the first thing that I think of is that this vehicle will get me from point A to point B without me having to worry about anything. That is where the false advertisement comes in."" In fact, none of the cars developed so far are completely driveless. They can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves but all are designed to notify the driver when the roads ahead need human skills""

373F73E9E830,"Dear Principal,
I think that this new policy is generally a good idea. Many students feel that they need to focus more on their sports than on their schoolwork. If they are told they cannot be on a team unless they have good grades, it will encourage them to do better, let them focus on what they need to do, and learn to balance out their time. All are good skills to have in our lives.
First, this policy will encourage better grades and habits. Young people like being on a team and cooperating with others. If they need to do well in school for this to happen, all the better! Then, everyone gets what they want.
Next, it will apply focus in our lives. The youth of today are always being distracted by the technology we have created. In most cases, technology helps us achieve educational goals, but we cannot concentrate on school if we are listening to music, playing video games, or chatting on the social websites. Sports are important in our lives and we want to keep it like that.
My last reason is balance. Time is a wonderful thing to have, if used properly. Balancing our schedule out helps to keep us on the right track. This concept is arguable, but consistency in a person's young life helps with consistency in future jobs. Having time for schoolwork, sports, fun, and responsibilities is always a good thing and will keep teens on the track to where they want to be.
As I said before, all these concepts are arguable, but it is my belief that organization and balance is a good thing for us. This new policy would enforce that idea and give incentive for better habits. Whether it's used for encouragement, focus, or balancing time, it will help.

06FD663140DF,"Should we keep our method of choosing the president? If so there's 3 reasons for why we should: we would have certainty of an outcome, states will have equal voting rights, and we would avoid run-off elections. Those are just a few good reasons for why we should keep our method for choosing a president the same.
The certainty of an outcome will always be there in the Electoral College. Even when a canidate receives more votes than other candidates while not receiving a clear majority of votes. There could always be a dispute over the outcome of an Electoral College vote but that wouldn't mean that there couldn't be an outcome. Even though there's a very rare chance of there being a tie in the outcome since theres 538 votes there would still be an outcome.
Even though the bigger states should have more voting rights than the smaller states it's equal for a couple reasons. They all get Electoral votes, but the large states get more attention then the smaler states because they have more electoral votes then the smaler states do. It also restores the political balance upon states.
We could also avoid run-off elections by keeping the same method. If you win the majority in Electoral votes then there's pressure for run-off elections when no canidate wins a majority of the votes cast. That's why we have our nation to vote for the president, because they effect the matter alot just by putting in one vote.
Those are just a few reasons for why we should keep the same method for choosing the president it's by the outcome and the votes. The reason for why we let our nation choose is because we like for them to be involved with who controls them in every wich way.

D0D8311DFC48,"I would pick Policy one because to me it is easier if you are in sports and need to get a hold of parents and if you don't have a cell phone at school then it would be hard to reach them on away games. I can understand why some principals wouldn't want there students to have cell phones but for the kids it is much easier.
If I was the principal I would only let the kids have their cell phones during lunch and not other free times because if they have their phone during recess then that cuts away from their time of exercising.
Most kids text during school even though it isn't allowed because they think that they should be able to.
I can see why they don't want you to text in class because it would take away from the academics and then you wouldn't get as good of grades. Most kids that I know would text during study halls and lunch.
I know that it is against the rules to text during school, I only text during lunch and I never use to.
I rarely do it right now but if I need to talk to my mom or something then it should be alright to have it in your locker and text her off of it.
I don't understand how some school aren't even allowed to have their phones in school because it defeats the purpose that they should be able to call their parents. And what I understand about that is that they don't want people texting while they are in school but that really wont stop them. Most kids never even listen to the rules in school.
I can see how that would affect them in many ways but do you see how many kids would get a detention or get kicked out of something for not following the rules, most kids if they do it more then once they are more likely to do it again.
But back to the cell phone issue, at SCHOOL_NAME
we don't have that much free time the only free time we would get would have to be at lunch and every other day at recess or if you would count a study hall a day free time then that would be it.
Our school is pretty lenient on the rules though.
Last year I was carrying my phone on me and I couldn't change the alarm and I forgot to take it out of my pocked so then it went off once and I got it taken away from me and I didn't get it back until the end of the dance. Then that exact same thing happened to me a month later in the same class and I didn't get it taken away because either the teacher knew me more or she just decided not to.
But I know some people who do text during school and it doesn't effect their grades.
But to some other people it really does.
So if it was me trying to pull that off I would fail miserably because I'm not the type of person that would multi-task very easily. I would tell them not to do it or else they wouldn't be able to get good grades or then you could have them do it and see where their grades go, like an experiment.
Then you could decide if you want them to keep it with no phones in school or you would be able to have them do it in their free time.

7044BE538016,"Dear Florida Senator,
I feel as if we, as Florida citizens should be able to change election by popular votes rather than Electoral College. I understand that The Electoral College is a process that consists of the electors, the meeting of the electors where they vote for President and Vice President and so forth; but you don't understand how it is affecting the citizens. We are the people that vote! I am against the Electoral College process because it overrides popular vote, voters aren't really voting for president, and the process is unfair to voters.
To begin, I am against the Electoral College process because it overrides popular vote. For example, in 2000 when Al Gore had more popular votes than Bush yet fewer electoral votes, he lost the presidency. The popular votes is what really counts because its the actual citizens voting not the electors. In contrast, The Electoral College is a non-democratic method of selecting a president that ought to be overruled by declaring the canidate who receives the most popular votes the winner. The Electoral College process is forgetting that the popular votes is what really matters.
Futhermore, I am against the Electoral College because voters aren't really voting for the president. For instance, if you lived in Texas and wanted to vote for John Kerry you'd vote for a slate of 34 Democratic electors pledged to Kerry. The process isn't even trustworthy because the presidential candidates can elect themselves. Under the elecoral college process voters aren't voting for president but for the slate for electors.
Finally, I am against the Electoral College because its unfair to voters. For example, during the 2000 campaign, 17 states didn't see the canidates at all. Canidates don't spend time in states they know they know the have no chance of winning. This is unfair because voters should know who they are voting for. Voters in presidential elections are people who want to express a political preference rather than people who think that a single vote may decide an election.
In conclusion, The Electoral College should not be used because it overrides popular votes and voters aren't really voting for the president. Also because Electoral College is unfair to voters.

If they miss a few votes the wrong person could be elected as president. I would rather them keep it the same because its simple, faster to calculate, and easy to read.
I say its simple because you just have to count the votes and make an elctoral vote and then if u have the most electoral votes for that state it mean that you won the vote in that state. At the end it matters who has majority of the electoral votewhich is 270. It'sbasically the same as how much states you've won to see who will be elected as president.
I also think its faster to calculate because when you do electoral votes you would see how many electoral votes yu have out of 538. The majority of electoral votes is 270 so, If you have majority of the 538 votes you will be elected.
It's easier to read electoral votes because you are adding and subtracting only 538 people, but if you are counting from popular votes you would have to add up millions and billions of votes that would be miscounted.

D6B4B647FC25,"You ever get a project that you have to do and you never know where to start? School's ending, you and your best mates are talking to each other, deciding what to do in the summer and finally relinquishing the fact that you've made through the school year again. However, there's always that pesky thing that you fear most, school work during summer break. Maybe it's beneficial to you, and they want to make sure you aren't behind in a class or fail next year. But what kind of project is it, is it a do it yourself or a ""do it yourself""? So you're naturally stuck, sitting there at your desk, thinking about how to get this over with so your mom can turn back on the internet to your room. Or so you think, you wouldn't have to be, if your teacher told you what to do, and you finish it without a second thought and it's off until the cows come home. Summer projects should be teacher designed due to most students not wanting any work over break, students might get huge amounts of stress, and students can take less time finishing it.
Rarely students want work over the break, most don't want to think about school work. Yes, work is work and you still have to finish it because school, but no kid wants to think about work during their own break. If it were teacher designed, at least they have some sort of guideline to follow so they just have to use a little bit of their brain. For example, if it were teacher designed, students can look what at they have to do, finish it, and go hang out with their friends. If it were student designed, students would have to think about what they have to do, finish it, and by the time they're done, summer is over. No one wants to have that happen to them, because they want to enjoy themselves and save the project for maybe near the end of the summer.
Stress, something that comes naturally, and something you should not obtain from an outside source. If students have to do their own project, their stress goes up by a lot. When students go out during their break, let's say to the mall or something, they have to remember in the back of their head that they have that project to stress over about. Stress is still going to be there whether or not it's student-designed or teacher-designed, but at least with teacher-designed, it would be a lesser amount of stress unlike if it were student-designed. For example, if students were out hanging with each other, then one realizes they have to go home and finish their project. They get home, pull out their project and if it were student-designed, they'd be stuck there all day, worrying about the project, which adds to more stress. If it were teacher-designed, students would finish in a heartbeat and go back to hanging out with their friends, because students don't have to know what to do, because the teacher told them, what to do.
Time, a very limited resource that you either waste, or spend wisely. It is not something you should be spending on thinking about a project. Both teacher-designed and student-designed take time, teacher-designed just takes less time. You could very well spend that time on doing what you want to do with your time, not something you don't want to do with your time. For example, if the project were teacher-designed, you can finish it whenever you want to finish it and it'd take less time, if it were student-designed you would have to think about it more, which takes more time, so you wouldn't be able to do a good job on it if it were at the end of summer break. Whenever I receive a project, I always say ""why do I have to do this,"" if it were student-designed. If it were teacher-designed, I'd say ""Oh, a project, well at least I have something to follow,"" Also with student-designed, no examples, so more time wasted trying to figure out what to do.
So you finally finish your project, but at what cost? The amount of more work you had to do, the amount of more stress added, or the amount of more time wasted? At least if it were teacher-designed, you can get rid of those mores and it'd just be a negligible amount. So why waste extra time when summer break should be time to yourself, and why worry about thinking on what you should do, when your teacher already thought out for you? Don't waste yourself worrying about some project that you have only yourself to rely on, have a project that's already thought out for you, you just have to finish it.",,804,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

6FA60DAF689D,"Texting and Driving Essay
Driving alone can be very dangerous. But driving while using your cellphone is deadly.
Looking down at your phone for 2 seconds could change your life really quickly. Driving distracted can be as dangerous as driving while intoxicated.
Most people don't realize the dangers that come with texting and driving. Texting and driving can be as bad as drinking and driving. According to ""arrivealivetour. com"" ""In 2015, there were 3,477 deaths and 391,000 injuries for Texting and driving."" ""For drunk driving there were 10,265 deaths and 290,000 injuries."" Texting and driving had more injuries than drinking and driving. This shows that Texting while driving can be compared to driving drunk which would seem more dangerous. Most of the drivers were teens. Teenagers are more likely to be in an accident due to distracted driving.
When people are driving they don't think twice about being distracted by their cell phone. All it takes is a couple of seconds to get distracted. Those couple of seconds could change your life and the people around you. It's better to use the hands free feature in your car while driving. This will at least help from not looking down at your phone.
Most states have laws that help against distracted driving. You can get a ticket for driving while using your cellphone. This has helped bring awareness to distracted driving and maybe even have saved someone's life. 37 states have a ban on all cellphone use while driving. 48 states have a ban on texting while driving.
As our technology increases the risk decreases. Many people use their hands free feature in their car or they use a wireless headset which reduces the need to have to look at your phone. When you get a text message you should wait until you are able to stop and then look at your phone and respond. This would reduce the accidents and deaths over texting and driving.

864C2D595DF7,"Many students want freedom when it comes to learning. In order to assure students are developing their knowledge over the summer, schools are requiring students to complete a summer project. Many argue whether these summer projects should be teacher-designed or student-designed. Despite the majority of the school year being teacher-designed, summer projects should be student-designed because teachers will assign an unnecessary amount of work, students can incorporate personal interests, and they can work on what they need to improve.
Over break, some teachers give out a copious amount of work to complete. An example of when teachers assign an excess amount of work is shown when a teacher assigns multiple packets of work to complete over winter break. Students rarely get any free time because of the mass amount of homework. Over the summer students should not have to deal with the stress of completing assignments that fill up the whole break. Another example of teachers giving too much work is shown when kids have to stay in and work on school-work instead of playing with their friends. After a long, challenging year of school students deserve a break to refresh their minds. If the summer projects are student-designed, the length of the assignment will be appropriate. Giving the student the right amount of time to learn as well as have fun. Students need a break from learning, furthermore, if teachers design the project they will not leave students with much time to enjoy summer.
Too make the summer project more enjoyable, a student-designed project will enable the ability to incorporate ones own interests. When someone gets to work with their own interests they tend to become more passionate, for example, when an athlete gets to write about their favorite sports team he will be able to easily complete the assignment on a topic that they already follow. Allowing students to include their interests will allow everyone to relate to the project. As a result more students will finish their projects on time. A student-designed project will give the student freedom with the way they express their knowledge, for instance, the student will decide how his project will be presented whether it be PowerPoint, poster, and many more. This gives the student the ability to choose which format they are more comfortable with. On top of being comfortable, they can show off their skills and creativity with whichever option they choose. To include every individual, a student-designed project will allow people to work with what they enjoy doing.
An advantage of using a student-designed project is that students are able to work on the classes that need improvement. Furthermore, this student-designed project can be used as a way to practice topics that the individual has a conflict with. With a teacher-designed project they have no way of knowing every single students weak spots. If students get to design their own project based on previous history, it will ultimately lead to better grades. Another benefit of being able to work on classes that need improvement is shown in the example of when a student misses a unit of learning due to unfortunate circumstances and is able to make-up the learning in the summer. The summer is the perfect opportunity to work on previously missed assignments. Using a student-designed project gives students the ability to be able to work on what they need to know rather than being forced to work on an assignment that the teacher offers. Students should design their projects because they are able to grow on the subjects that need improvement.
Overall, summer projects should be designed by the student because teachers may give out too much work, students can work with their personal interests, and student can choose a topic that they need more practice in.
Giving students their freedom on how they learn is very important, as everybody obtains information differently. Hopefully students will be able to design their projects and assignments throughout the school year as well.",,657,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

F35BE53F93D9,"When you are having a hard time making a decision, you often go to your friends or family to give you advice on what to do. When you seek more then one person for advice, you are getting different opinions and different answers to the question you have. It is always a good idea to ask more then one person, because you never know what the person has gone through and what type of advice they will tell you. You may be wondering, what is the point of asking advice if all you are going to get is different answers to your one problem. When you ask more then one person for advice, you are going to get different answers out of all of them because, they may have more experience in life then you, they understand you better, or they just know what you are going through.
When asking someone older then you for advice, you may get solutions that you could ever think of. The reason for this is because, they've been alive longer then you. They know how life works and how to find solutions out of nowhere. People older then you often give the best advice or opinion because, they've been your age and know who to get pass what you are trying to get pass. That's why people often say parents give out the best advice. So next time your arguing with your parents just remember that they are probably right, because they've done it themselves already, and they are the people that care about you the most.
Some of the best advice you can get is from someone who has been in your shoes and knows how to handle it. This doesn't nessicerly mean that person has to be older then you, your friend could've gone through the same thing that you are going through right now. That is why getting the advice from a friend, that has already done what you are trying to get done, is one of the best. They don't only know what you are going through, they are also around the same age as you. Getting advice from one of your friends that is around your age is probably the best feeling you could get while getting advice because, you know they have been through it and if they can do it, you know you can do it too.
You could ask a million people for advice and everyone would give you different advice and opinions. But when you ask the person who has just gone through it, they will not only give some of the best advice, they will also giver you some of the most useful advice. The people that know what you are going through are going to want to help you the most. They will tell you ways that they have gone through the problem, what advice they got, and what and what not works. If you are seeking advice to get out of something like depression, suicide, etc., the people who have been through it themselves know how hard it can get, and they know what type of advice is the most helpful for what you are dealing with.
The best thing that you can do when looking for advice is asking multiple people. Whether they are older then you, understand you, or even know what you are going through, they all with give slightly different advice. When asking multiple people you are getting different views of the problem that you are trying to solve. Everyone came up in a different background and have dealt with things of their own. That's why people will give you different advice, because they have been through different things. Getting all these different opinions and advice from so many different people can only make you better and get through the problem even faster. Next time you are looking for advice from someone, make sure that you ask many different people with different backgrounds, so you can make the best decision you can make.

DB6C27832C62,"Many conspiracy theorists say that The Face On Mars is proof of alien life. Some even say that NASA is trying to hide evidence of aliens. The face is nothing more then an illusion though, caused by shadows. Although technology was not advanced when the first photo was published, more recent pictures have proven that this is nothing more then a crater with shadows, creating eyes, a nose, and a mouth.
In 1976 when the first photo was released people quickly began to theorize that alien life was on Mars, but this is simply not true. The picture was taken in low resolution and was very blurry. The Viking 1 Spacecraft was circling the planet searching for landing sites for The Viking 2, when a landform that resembled an enormous face was spotted. This enormous two mile long ""face"" is nothing more then a mesa.
In 1998 a new picture of the mesa was released, but people were still not satisfied. Since it was winter while the mission was launched there was a thick haze over the Red Planet. Many think that NASA is trying to hide evidence that there IS lifeforms on other planets, but this is not true. We as scientists wish to share information on space with the public, but we will not spread false rumors about alien lifeforms when there are none.
On April 8, 2001 we launched another mission to take a more high-resolution photo. Since it was summer there were no clouds to hide the mesa. Mars Global Surveyor rotated 25 degrees to center the Face in the feild of view. They then took a photo using the camera at maximum resolution. After all the hype about alien life on Mars since the first photo was released, it was clear to see that the Face was nothing but a mesa.
After years of research and three missions to take photos of Mars, it is clear to see that the Face was no evidence of life on another planet. The Face is very similar to something like on Earth. Although the mesa has not proven there is life beyond Earth we as humans still do not know what is beyond.",,361,The Face on Mars,Text dependent,"You have read the article 'Unmasking the Face on Mars.'

In 1976 the Viking 1 sent a picture of a supposed face. NASA, shortly after getting the image, then made a false testimony stateing that an alien carved face is on Mars. The now famous image of Mars took a name The Face. Now twenty-two years later NASA tries again at a picture of The Face. The picture turns out good, but a cloud blocks a part of the image. The people aren't happy and they get NASA, three years later to get another picture, and it it shows no evidence of an alien carved face. The talk of The Face soon dies down.
So to sum up what happened, in 1976 the Viking 1 sends a picture of a ""face"". NASA states that this is an alien's doing. The image recieves the name The Face.

9F516900789A,"Imagine going to a friend for advice and your friend unknowingly gives you horrible advice and you make a bad decision! One decision can change your life and if it's really important that you are right. This is why you should go to multiple people for advice, so you don't make the wrong choice. If you make a bad choice it hurts you not them, so you need to make sure you make the right decision. I think you should get multiple peoples advice before acting on something because people have different opining's, some people just give bad advice, and some people you just can't trust.
The first reason you should ask multiple people for advice is because people have different opining's. Sometimes there isn't a clear right or wrong choice and it just all comes down to what different people believe. If you only go to one person they will only share their opining which is only half the story. This is why it's important to get multiple peoples advice because you need both sides of the story to make a good decision for yourself.
My second reason you should go to multiple people for advice is that some people give bad advice. Some of the people you will talk to will not know what there talking about. They will give you bad advice that when you act on will hurt you one way or another. That's why it's important to go to multiple people because if the first person you talk to gives you bad advice the second person will clear things up. I know this from experience because I once went to my brother for advice, but when I told my mom what his advice was she told me how wrong it was and what the right choice was.
My last reason you should go to multiple people for advice is because theres some people you just can't trust. As much as you want to deny it they're people in this world that wish you harm and want you to fail either to help them or to make them feel good. One way they try to do this is by giving you bad advice and if you don't go to multiple people you will take there bad advice. Remember one bad choice can change your life, so taking that person advice can even send you to jail.
You should ask for multiple peoples opining because people think differently, some people don't give good advice, and there are some people that want you to fail. So the next time you need advice make sure you go to multiple people.

0A2A6855DE4F,"Sports have been a big part of school for as long as we all know of. Do you believe it's a good policy to remove those with failing grades off of their sport's team? Having to change a policy a such as removing students with below a B grade average is a important thing to do especially if your player is not doing so great education wise. It can help them pick up their grades. It is also a good consequence to show that without good grades, you are not allowed to play.
The policy of removing those with low grade average off their sports team is a good idea, because it helps your student stay on track and pick up their grades. Being excused from a sport event due to grades, can show the student that he or she needs to spend less time practicing with the team and more time getting better grades. I, being a sports player, know that without grades, I cannot play a game or attend practice. This gives you time to make up missing assignments, get extra credit, get a better grade, and continue doing that sport you like to do.
This policy is also good because you need to give consequences to those who do not do well in school. Yes, getting in trouble with coach is bad, but school is important. Without a great education, the chances of becoming a professional athlete become very slim. You need grades, and good practice to make you a great player and a great student.
Having good grades, reminds me that I can create a better future, and not worry about being excused from my team.
Many of you may agree with my opinion about this policy, but I know some of you may have some concerns. Maybe one of these concerns is that your student won't proceed with getting good grades. Well the solution to that is simple, no grades, no play. I understand, as a athlete myself, having to be excused due to grades is bad and can get me a little upset. But I know, without my grades, I won't be allowed back on the team.

Although there are many consperacy theorys, all have been proven wrong becasue it is just a heap of martian material. These theorys have been proven wrong by the pictures, the fact that the shadows give it the charectaristics of a face, and the reason it is not photographed much is not the Goverment, and N.A.S.A hiding proof of alien life. It is simply the fact that we do not pass the face often since 1976 when we first glimpsed the face, Alien existance theorys have spiraled into being both well know, and well conceived. The only problem with these ideas are that the pictures do not support those ideals. There are clear pictures that with out a doubt show no strange markings, or proof of an alien race. These picyures just show it how it is, A Messa.
Furthermore the face is just a large hill. The shadows, of some of the crevaces give off the apperance of being humanoid. Charectaristics such as eyes, nose, and even a mouth appear,but it simply a trick of the light.
As for the people who say Nasa is just ""covering up"" the fact that alien exist or have existend, are simply mistaken. The reason the Face is not often photographed is because we just do not passover the Face often. There is no alien life on Mars, or at least none that are affiliated with the Face.
In conclusion through the hard facts, and evidence of pictures, the shadows mistaken for human features, and the fact that our rover, and satalites just simply do not passover the Face often, support the fact the Face was not created by an alien race.

6DA050124183,"School is a seemingly never-ending obligation that constantly demands the attention of students all across the nation. Since school is so demanding, missing a day of school could severely harm one's education. If a student misses a day of school, they could miss a key lesson that would have prepared them for a test. Missing school can be unpredictable. A student could wake up sick one morning and not be healthy enough to go to class. Although, if a sick student felt healthy enough to go to school but was still had an illness, the school could deny the student from entering the school for fear that the student could accidentally spread their sickness. However, there are students that simply do not go to school. They may believe that school is a waste of time for them. There are schools that offer distance learning. This provides students the ability to attend a class from their home through a video conference or online connection. Students would benefit from being able to attend classes from home. Distance learning would give students another way to become educated by their teachers as well as lessen the issue of students missing school.
Distance learning provides students more opportunities to learn. If a student can't make it to school, they could attend their class on a laptop or tablet and still receive their deserved education. In some cases, students can learn more efficiently while in the comfort of their own home. The school may be a huge distraction for a student. Sometimes, other students in a class can pull another student's attention away from the material that they should be learning. There are others that prefer to work alone and learn faster by themselves. If a student is falling behind in a subject because they can't work as well in a classroom, they would benefit from attending their classes from home. Allowing students to attend classes from home would increase the opportunities for students to receive the education they deserve.
Giving a student access to attend their class even while being sick would be extremely beneficial for that student's learning. Sickness is a major reason why kids in school fall behind. When someone is sick, depending on what illness they obtain, their body needs plenty of time to recover. No one should push themselves to go to school if they feel unwell. However, if they feel like they have enough energy to learn but are still to contagious to attend the classroom, they could attend their classes online. This provides the student time to recover from their sickness and receive learning. A student could also be involved in a car accident or an injury that prohibits the students from walking. Instead of just staying home and missing out on their classes, they could join their class through a video conference and be able to receive their teaching. Offering distance learning to students who cannot attend class would heavily benefit their lives.
Some might say that distance learning would not be beneficial for students who do not wish to attend school and accept the education that they deserve. They might say that allowing students to attend their class from home could lead to some drawbacks. Since there are students who simply do not wish to attend school, they could abuse this privilege. Instead of being required to come to class, they could join online and use the comfort of their home as a distraction. They could be on their cellphones at home and act as if they are listening to the teacher over a conference call. Others might also say that distance learning is not an efficient way for kids in school to learn. Teachers would have more responsibilities and therefore a higher chance of more stress. Students would not have the same teaching experience at home than if they were at school. To others, distance learning could not benefit students.
Students can benefit from being able to attend class from home. All students deserve an education, whether they are at school or at home.

I have, at the time I couldn't decide on what to do for my school science fair project so I immediately went to go ask some friends. Doing this gave me an assortment of different ideas. When asking around for ideas I had got to see every ones point of view on how they saw the project going. Them telling me what sounded like good ideas made me see from their side of the story.
Additionally, seeking advice from a large amount of people can help you notice what works best for you. If you were to do a project, would you do something that you could not do? Getting advice from people helps you see what works best for you. Iv'e noticed that when people do something they are not good at they tend to quite before they even start. Since you are getting advice not all of them are going to apply to you, so choose what does apply to you.
Finally, getting advice from multiple peoples opinions keeps your brain active. Your brain works through all the ideas you have been given and maybe you have made a few of your own during the process. The human brain is constantly active but seeking advice from a variety of people and then including your own; really gives our brain a challenge. All these ideas we have gotten helps our brain to come up with our own ideas for our selves.
In conclusion, seeking multiple opinions from others is helpful. Doing all these things helps use see what our own potential is for ourselves. Many people are out int he world to help use come up with ideas such as teaches. These are some of the reasons why seeking multiple opinions are helpful.",,407,Seeking multiple opinions,Independent,"When people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person.

83810CEDAE01,"In ""The Challenge of Exploring Venus,"" the author explained many reasons why studying Venus would be helpful and advantageous to us as humans and scientists. Especially since Venus is the planet most like Earth, this would benefit Earth's knowledge at how we could study and explore Venus and grasp the research it would reveal. In Paragraph 8, the aouthor wrote, ""Striving to meet the challenge presented by Venus has value..."" This quote means that Venus is valuable, yet challenges face the journey.
In Paragrpah 4, the author compared how Venus was like Earth a long time ago. The author described how Venus seemed to possess analogous features to our planet, like valley, mountains, and craters, except the long time frames to Venus are a crucial consideration. "" The value of returning to Venus seems indisputable...,"" though in Paragraph 5 the authour explained how NASA had a possible solution for the problem of traveling safely and Venus's hostile conditions.
NASA introduced an idea of a blimp-like vehicle hovering over Venus; the vehicle would remain floating above Venus's surface to remain away from the storms. Even though Venus has unavoidable dangers, for exmaple, the erupting volcanoes and powerful earthquakes explained in Paragraph 3, we will come prepared for the challenge.
Paragraph 7 states that NASA is working on different approaches as to how to study Venus so far off the ground. Safe in the hovercraft and away from the high pressure and heat and sporadic lightning strikes, scientists discoverd there was no possible way to collect the samples of rock, gas, or any component of Venus without getting out. The scientists sought to conduct a mission to bust the bubble of safety dispute the risks. Simplified electronics made of silicon carbide were tested to have withstood the chaotic surface of Venus for up to three weeks. Mechanical computers would also serve an important role now, just like in the 1940s, by making calculations with gears and levers that do not require electronics at all.
Overall, the point made across by the author of this passage was that even though studying Venus will definitely bring problems and challenges, there are loopholes and many ways to solve the solutions. Science is worth the risks, especially since it is for our planet and can better our understanding, so finding ways around the problem, and even facing them head on are our only solutions better comprehend Venus, and other planets in our solar system as well.

Kids need extracurricular activity, A lot of kids brains are not all the way devolved yet so there for they can't think like an adult. Most kids play sports and things and some kids just sit and play games and watch TV all day long. Think about if they see what the good kids are doing and see them doing extra work they might follow behind the bigger person and get their work done. The principal is right for extracurricular activity so we can become better and would get out and do more stuff.
Some kids think when they hear the word extra thats its going to be a lot of work when it might not be and they are to lazy to get up and do something,plus to try and put in work. Some kids need the work to become a better child instead of getting older and not knowing what to do. When you get use to being a lazy child it goes into you adult hood and you become more and more lazier and don't want to go and get a job to be able to feed yourself. You might have a family thats hungry and you might need to go out and do a extra thing to get food. The person will remember,when you was in school and didn't want to do the extra activity and it will mass with your mind.
A child would probably think the same way, but sometimes you might need to handle yo business even if you dont want to do it. extracurricular activity doesnt have to be work it could be anything like,camps,helping the homeless,donating money. Some people might need to get use to extra stuff cause when the kids get older they are going to want to be able to be smart and be able to read. sometimes you never know what can help with your life so gotta make it count. Some kids might think it's dumb but i think its good to be on a higher level you could even get a good grade for it.
To be a kid at this school its a good school,Im pretty sure that the principal wants the kids to be great coming into a huge world, so to be able to do that we will have to take reasobilty. I want extracurricular activity because you can learn a lot of stuff in a little period of time. When its extra work or an activity take it cause in the long run you wont regret it. Its the first time the principal has wanted this for the school and its property for a reason,If you not good with decisions this should be a good one.

64BD20F9CCC8,"What do you like more home schooling or regular schooling. Learning from home is very benefitful to have it,it gives people calm cool vibes,you can focus more also if you get sick then you have different options to keep learning also you get done with homeschooling before regular school. Even though that some people like learning from home they miss out on so much like field trips, friend's and so much more but learning from home is very benefitful and i'll tell you why.
At home there not that many distractions so more than likely you are focused on what you're doing. So when you're doing school work its just you the computer and someone whos is teaching. It's great to have the one on one with someone it helps very much and it gives another reason to stay focused. Focusing is everything when it come's to school work. Some people work a lot better when there's no one around. And the reason why i said that because a pole was set for if you worked on school work better if there was no one around vs people around. The percent came to be about 55% percent of people said they worked very well when no one was around and the other 45% said they like working on school work around people. And again it just prove's that someone people like working on school work when no one is around so doing school work at home for 55% percent of these people would give them a place to be focused.
Getting sick is one of the biggest problems with school's. When someone gets sick for a long time they so stressed when they come back to school. distance learning can solve that if there is not that bad where they can't get on a computer thats understandable. For the one that are just sick or staying home for a injuries they can have a option to go online and be able to do it there school work from video conferencing or line work. It's just an alternative for people who are sick and want to do school work or have injuries.
Home schooling is a lot faster to do than regular school. Home schooling can be done in three to four hours other than the eight hours of school not mention you get out earlier in the year then regular students. Well that depends if your doing everything you need to do of course. If your really into it you can get your course's done within a few months and be done with that year. Home schooling is good if you like getting to the point. it's a great learning experience and also dont worry saying if i do home schooling am i going to get into college of course home schooling goes of the same grading as regular schools goes off of so dont worry.
With home schooling you feel mean different things and can experience it as well. your in a quiet place and your focusing and your just one on one with teacher so you get to grow as well with the teacher and learn new thing's. It gives you more options when your sick or you have an injuries. It's just always great to have that back up so if you ever get out of this you have that backdoor you can go through. And with home schooling you get done two times faster than regular school who would not like that and you get out sooner. Just home schooling is just something to have a backdoor to or you want to stay more focused or you just want to get faster.

366BB66B5A89,"""Do you think students would benefit from being able to attend classes from home?"" Yes, there are many kinds of students that can not attend school due to many reasons. Distance learning is a good tool to use in school systems, because it helps many students keep learning and stay educated, but also holding the ease of learning high while at the comfort of their home. And finally, their are many perks of being at home rather than at a school.
Many students arent able to attend school for many reasons. Some being, they have been sick for weeks on end, and they need educational help so they can stay on track in school. Some students might be injured in some way that prevents them from going to school, and that could be anything from students being in a full body cast to students with major concussions. And lastly, for the students that are away from school for an elongated period of time. For example, if a student is in the middle of a move there is an amount of time where the student isnt in school. They can still learn with the assistance of their old school and keep the knowledge up while in transition.
One of the main reasons why online distance learning is so good, is the students are in a place where they feel comfortable and focused to do their work. Home is a place where they can be alone, do their assignments, and not worry about all the mini distractions that a public school classroom will bring. For the few students that learn better with one on one leaning, some schools offer video conferencing. Schools are limited to a time frame to get work done, but if your not in school you have the whole day to work on assignments without the worry of it being homework.
Lastly the best part about distance leaning is the perks of being home. If your at school, you either eat school lunch or you pack whatever you can fit in your lunchbox. But if your doing school at your house, who says you cant eat whatever you want. Another perk is breaks, In school you dont get many breaks, if any, while in the classroom. But in the other hand, At home all you have is time. That said, lastly, if you finish all your work early you are done and school ends early.
In conclusion, If a student can not make it to school for a period of time, online distance learning is a no brainer. The pros outweigh the cons buy a mile. Schools should start to implement this very useful tool into their school systems to help students stay educated even if they can't make it to school.

0A058E762E78,"Driverless cars would not be a great idea. There are many issues and concerns against the development of these cars. There are reasons why people have a driver's license. It makes having one pretty obsolete. All the work people have done for them and the practicing of driving will no longer be needed. The driverless car seems to be a lazy way of transportation and can cause problems on the road. The driverless car can cause and have problems such as navigating through roadwork or accidents and laws about faults.
The driverless car can have problems fucntioning and navigating through roadwork or accidents. So far they are not yet perfected in going completely driverless. Someone still has to be behind the wheel in case of something the car cannot do. The closest thing they have to driverless is not as one would expect. The cars can only do so much. As stated in the article, they still have to alert the driver to takeover whenever the car cannot do it itself. This is not very efficient considering its called a driverless car. The cars would need to be completely self aware in order to surpass these obstacles like road construction or accidents that have occured on the road.
The way laws would work are not yet established and if someone were to be in an accident, who would be at fault? This is another issue concerning these cars. Laws pertaining to this subject would need to be made. If someone were to crash the blame would be on the driver, of a normal car. When you birng a driverless car to the conversation the question then becomes, was it the driver or manufacturer of the car. As stated in the article traffic laws would change and new ones would be added. This branches off to more problems with the manufacturer and driver. The driver could make the argument that the manufacturer's vehicle is defective, and that is why they crashed. The manufacturer could say that the driver let his guard down and was too careless. Either way laws would be of concern.
The driverless car can be seen as a good thing, but the problems and defects it still has are a big concern. The car can have problems navigating through roadwork. It can also struggle driving around an accident that may have occurred nearby. There would need to be new laws and changes to the already made laws.

A28E9B475935,"My mother always said, ""You will never learn if you stay at home, go to school to learn more things."" Math, English, history, and science are some classes that students need to learn. If students take classes from home, then student will not learn so they will not benefit from it. Students will not benefit if they are able to attend classes at home because student will gain less exercise, students will get less social communication, and student will be less focus.
Many claim, students will benefit if they are able to attend classes at home because they will feel more comparable. However,students will not learn anything even if they feel more comparable at home. Clearly, students will not benefit if they are able to attend classes at home.
To begin, students will not benefit if they are able to attend classes at home because students will gain less exercise. For example, Generic_Name, who attend classes at home before, said that he will get less exercise, now that he goes to school he gets more exercise than before. To further detail, two friends, Generic_Name and Generic_Name, both attend classes at home before, they would both say that they would gain very little exercise before going to school. Clearly, students will not benefit if they are able to attend classes at home because students will gain less exercise.
Additionally,students will not benefit if they are able to attend classes at home because students will get less social communication. For example,
Generic_Name, a girl who use to attend classes at home, would not communicate much with other students at first, after some time she is able to communicate with other students. To further detail, Generic_Name, would talk very little to other students because he use to take classes at home, after a while he would talk to other students. Clearly, students will not benefit if they are able to attend classes at home because students will get less social communication.
Lastly, students will not benefit if they are able to attend classes at home because student will be less focus. For example, Generic_Name ,a student who attend classes at home, had to difficult time focusing on the lesson at home, some later she began to understand the lessons. To further detail, Generic_Name had a terrible time focusing on the lessons when he toke classes home, he said that his surrounding was very distracting. Clearly, students will not benefit if they are able to attend classes from at because student will be less focus.
To concluded, student will gain less exercise, have less communication experience, and will be less focus on lessons are reasons why students will not benefit if they are able to attend classes at home.

16FE5612C66E,"Phones & Driving
Today, the majority of humans own and operate cell phones on a daily basis. A growing body of research shows that driving while using a cellphone can create dangerous distractions. However, many states do not have bans against the use of phones while none have forbidden the use of hands-free devices. Opponents of the idea claim that cellphone bans are difficult to enforce while others claim that drivers also engage in other distracting activities such as eating, listening to music, and arguing with their children. Nevertheless, a review of the statistics indicates that cell phone use, even hands-free increases the likelihood of fatal incidents which provides justification for the bans.
Hundreds of research studies across the world have highlighted the various risks of cell phone use among drivers. Having conversations on a phone while driving increases the likelihood of fatal incidents by 400% (Walsh et al. 1896). Therefore, cell phone use creates more risk than other distractions such as reading billboards or having conversations with passengers. A study sponsored by the Harvard Center of Risk Analysis concluded that use of phones while driving contributed to 6% of crashes (Delgado et al. 17). Texting and driving also present a significant problem especially among the younger generations. Research shows that drivers using mobile phones decrease their visual scans of the road, have a higher probability of weaving in their lanes on bends, and have slower reactions to hazards due to having one hand off the wheel.
The act of conversation itself also creates a distraction. While focusing on the road requires a certain amount of cognitive processing, the complexity of conversations also engages cognitive resources. MRIs indicate that during driving, people exhibit extensive stimulation in the parietal lobe of the brain mainly associated with spatial processing. However, when performing dual tasks, such as having a conversation, activity in the temporal lobes rises significantly signifying processing of auditory stimuli (Fitch et al. 712). The rise in temporal lobe activity corresponds to a large reduction in parietal-lobe activation which indicates that conversations require more attention which is diverted away from the driving task. If a driver chooses to prioritize a conversation, then it reduces their focus on the road, thereby increasing the likelihood of a crash. While some may argue that the use of hands-free devices reduces the risk of a crash, research provides contradictory results. A study on the cognitive effects of talking on cellphones concluded that while participants often crashed while chatting, drunk drivers had reduced likelihood of a crash (Lipovac et al. 136).
Current legislation on cell phone use while driving is limited as legislators do not acknowledge the risks of both hand-held and hands-free cell phones. Moreover, opponents of the motion claim that such laws are unenforceable due to the resources required to monitor all drivers. However, a review of a person's billing records can determine whether they were using a phone while driving. Moreover, aggressive enforcement may also deter other drivers from risky activities.
Despite the risks associated with cell phone use while driving, most states remain hesitant to implement appropriate bans. Statistics indicate that cell phone use accounts for a significant portion of car crashes due to the limited focus on the road. Bans would work to increase awareness of the dangers in addition to reducing fatal incidences.

FAB1ECF9140E,"In the article ""Driverless Cars Are Coming,"" the author presents both positive and negative aspects of driverless cars. I am against the development or these cars for many reasons, such as safety, costs, and time.
I am against the development of the driverless cars because of the safety. In paragraph 9, the author states, ""If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at faultthe driver or the manufacturer?"" If a buyer of the driverless car were to get into an accident with the driverless car they would fight that the manufacturer should take fault because they were the ones who created it. Deciding who should take the fault would cost time and money. People should be focusing on the safety of the poor and the people that are dying for reasons that humans have created rather than focusing on funding driverless cars and their safety.
Driverless cars would cost money. in paragraph 6, the author states, ""Radar was a device on a hilltop that cost two hundred million dollars."" If just the Radar costs 200 hundred million dollars, imagine all the other sensors that would have to come with the car. Also in paragraph 4 the author states that the driverless cars do indeed need more than just a couple of sensors, ""For starters, they need a whole lot of sensors."" Sensors are needed to ensure that the driverless cars know where they're going, How the road conditions are, the different speed limits for different states or even countries, and the weather to indicate how fast they should be going. Those are just a few examples of the needs for sensors. Too much sensors costs too much money for the people of the world that have more important needs.
Driverless cars need constant attention at this time and are not completely driverless. The author tells us that the driverless cars are not completely driverless in paragraph 7 stating, ""In fact, none of the cars developed so far are completely driverless."" In paragraph 7 the author says, ""This means the human driver must remain alert and be ready to take over when the situation requires."" Why would people fund driverless cars if we would have to give constant attention as we do to nondriverless cars. it would just be a waste of money watching a car drive itself only in certain situations. In paragraph 9 the author states, ""Presently, traffic laws are written with the assumption that the only safe car has a human driver in control at all times."" The manufacturers of the driverless cars would have to go through so many people to change the law and that could take time that they would not have because of the money they have put into this project.

4596F3FF46D4,"Senator of Florida, im writing you today to address the issue about keeping the Electoral College or changing it to election by popular vote for the president of the United States. Let's start off, by pointing out that the Electoral College is an antique, and we should upgrade, also there could be many issues when using that method and many not wanted decisions can become official. Let me guide you through this important topic, and help you make this fair for everyone.
Like i pointed out before, the Electoral College is very old, Richard A. Posner stated "" The Electoral College is widely regarded as an anachronism"" back then everyone was okay with not having a say on who runs our country, but now and days people want to be part of it and want to help decide and know that there opinion matters. With the Electoral College, the people don't make that decision, they choose electors to choose the president. It is not democratic and is also not fair or equal because only certain people are being heard. Our choice as a whole should matter more then the electors. (Richard A.Posner) "" In 2000, when Gore had more popular votes than Bush yet fewer electoral votes."" this is called the disaster factor and was the biggest election crisis in a century stated Bradford Plumer. Let's take a moment and let this sink in.
not only is this unfair but so many things can go wrong it. For example, the electors can always defy the will of people. Plumer also stated "" back in 1960, segregationists in the Louisiana legislature nearly succeeded in replacing the democratic electors with new electors who would oppose John F. Kenennedy.( so that a popular vote for Kennedy would not have actually gone to Kennedy.) .... ""faithless"" electors have occasionally refused to vote for their party's candidate and cast a deciding vote for whomever they please..."" As you can see, nothing is forcing the electors to vote for their party's candidate, this method is putting the decision and our future in their hands.
there is no other way around the fact that the Electoral College has to go, is unfair to the presidents and us, the people. everyone should be heard and not have to depend on anyones decision. I hope with this letter the debating stops and your not on the fence about what method should stick and your certain about why elections by popular vote should be our way of picking our presidents.

92B3507F1C12,"In the article ""Driverless Cars Are Coming,"" the author presents both positive and negitive aspects of the driverless cars. The cars would be very helpful in controlling accidents and collisions. The driverless car cars are still developing to be completely driverless but for now they still requires a person to be prepared to take the wheel to navigate through an accident or a road block. In the following paragraphs I will explain the pros and cons of these driverless cars.
The cars use cameras and sensors to model the cars 3D surroundings. A combination of the cameras and sensors help the car mimic the skill of a human at the wheel. A person must always be aware and ready to take the wheel when problems occur. If someone is on a long car ride inside one of these driverless cars they would most likely become bored and wouldn't be paying any attention to the road. If a problems were to arise and the drivers is asleep or not paying attention when the car needs the driver to take over the drivers reaction would be delayed and an accident could occur.
Say the driver was not paying attention or sleeping and the car got into a wreck is it the drivers fault or the manufacturer's fault? How would you know who was at fault? I feel the cars will never be fully safe because a computer cannot fully mimic a humans reactions, a human may know better what to do than a computer in certain situations, also in certain cases it could be the other way around.
There are certain laws in place to protect drivers, passengers, and pedestrians. All traffic laws are written assuming there is a human driver. Many states do not allow the testing of computer driven cars. More states will allow computer cars as soon as they are reliably safe. Law makers must consider that new laws need to be put in place to cover liability in case of an accident to protect both the manufacturer and the people involved in the accident.
These computer driven cars will make daily life easier. Just imagine never having to buy a car again but calling a computer driven taxi to pick you up. As long as these cars are safe and reliable they will be a part of our everyday lives. These cars will lower the accident rates and keep people safe.

I think kids should not have to do community service. I think kids that have committed a crime should be forced to do community service. Also i think that if a kid volunteers to do community service then they can, but i do not think a kid should just be told to go pick up all the trash around the city for no apparent reason.
I think that when someone commits a crime they should be forced to do community service because it will teach them not to do whatever it is that they did again. The child should be given a task and a certain amount of hours to do this said task.
I also think that if you volunteer for community service that should be aloud. An example of this is if there was graffiti on a wall in the city i think a group of kids can volunteer and paint the wall and cover the graffiti.
Another opinion i have is that you should not force the kids. What if they have things to do such as sports or other activities.

05C8C18D341B,"If some schools require students to do summer projects over their break, how can one insure that students will complete it if it were designed by a teacher? Students never want to do work over the summer, but if its a requirement it should at least be something that intrigues them. If the project is teacher-designed many students probably wouldnt like the assignment that the teacher assigns them over their break. which leads to a possibility of many students not doing the project at all. Students dont want to have a project that'll be confusing and time consuming to them. They would rather have something that can be productive and fun. A student-designed project allows for: students to be more interested in their project, to have a project designed by students will be more intriguing, and students can work together creatively to create something that'll help them to continue learning over the summer.
Many students like doing things that interest them, it makes them enjoy what they're working on. If the summer project is student-designed. It will be something that they create, not something that a teacher made up and gave to their students to give them a hard time over break. It's indeed a way for them to learn but its not how a student would want to learn. Students want to learn during their break with something that doesn't bore them. They want something that can keep them entertained and want them to keep learning. overall a student learns better when they're fully committed to it and want to put their focus on, especially if its designed by them.
Almost all teachers know that students enjoy working together, students are very creative and intelligent, thats why having them design a project like this strengthens the reasoning behind why these summer projects should be student-designed as compared to being teacher-designed. Does one really believe that students enjoy doing projects that are designed by a teacher, no, students enjoy doing things their way, something that can relate to them and understand a lot better. For example, a student would prefer working together with other students to create something fun for them to do over their time off, as opposed to being restricted to do work over summer by ones teacher, with boring ways of learning; therefore, leaving students demoralized. Students always perform well when on topic and working together, if a students can come up with something creative together. It'll make them feel comfortable with completing this summer project; furthermore, allowing them to continue learning through a unique, fun, and creative assignment.
In conclusion, a student-designed project would: intrigue students, make them more interested in it, and it allows them to work together. Having students design a project for them to do over the summer would increase student productivity over their time off. Therefore enabling that student to continue learning and maintaining their intellect. Most teachers try to relate to students but they cant, having a teacher-designed project wouldnt be as a effective as having one designed by a student. The amount of creativity that a student has in ones mind is overwhelming. Students work best with others and together they can create enjoyable tasks for themselves. The probability of a student doing a student-designed project is much higher as compared to a teacher-designed project.

D7445DE18A83,"Have you ever heard of FACS? FACS stands for Facial Action Coding System. This type of technology can supposedly read your facial expressions. When I heard of this I wanted to believe but I just couldn't. I didn't think it was valuable enough to consider. I found too many flaws in the system from the article ""Making Mona Lisa Smile"" by Nick D'Alto.
In this article I found many things that I need to point out. The article states ""New software has been developed that improves accurracy in perceiving the emotions of others. The reason I include this is because there is a key word that some of us might skip over. The word that they use is improve. But before in the passage they claim it can detect the emotion. Now it is saying it can only improve on what we as humans can do.
What is not right about it either is it only includes major muscles, 44 to be exact. But thats not the point, the point is that it doesn't include many small features in the face. So this system isn't as accurate as it sounds. The small features if they included them would make it more accurate and then they could make the claim that it is 100% accurate.
In paragraph 6 they do have an ok point. The passage states that ""A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored. Then it could change the lesson."" If this was the case you would still have many students that would get bored for any lesson. Those computers aren't garunteed to teach them the standards that mybe the state requires. We haven't even talked about expenses. This must cost a fortune for a whole school and some schools would be left out of this. They wouldn't be given the same education of many other students around the United States.
So to wrap this up I don't think it is very valuable to have this in a classroom setting. Maybe in the future we might be able to have something like this where everything is changed. With the circumstances right now no way could this work. Too much effort has to go into this and technology is getting out of hand anyway.",,375,Facial action coding system,Text dependent,"In the article ""Making Mona Lisa Smile,"" the author describes how a new technology called the Facial Action Coding System enables computers to identify human emotions.

F949490671FA,"Whenever we feel lost or lacking in information to make a decision we often find ourselves asking questions to help understand the topic, just like many of history's famous philosophers or scientists. Such as the famous Amelia Earhart who questioned her society and its many leaders and their sexist beliefs, and the prodigy Albert Einstein who questioned his colleagues and fellow scientists about their mathematics and science theories. Both were inspired by asking themselves a question and still tried to find a better and more refined answer to support their decision and came out on top, and becoming heroes in history. Therefore, seeking multiple opinions really can help someone make a better choice by processing both sides of a topic, and receiving more information.
Seeking multiple opinions gives us two sides or more, of each topic we question. One example would be if the earth is flat or spherical in shape. Although this topic hasn't been fully debated yet. We could fully understand why both sides are so defensive by asking about their opinions. Hearing what both sides have to say can also shed light onto smaller debates that could have a bigger impact on the whole entire issue. Unfortunately, asking for other's opinions can also have some downside effects. Such as false information or too much bias to uphold that statement. Nonetheless, asking for others opinions can still help us understand their side of the topic, and quite possibly what they know that we don't.
We can also obtain more information about a topic by seeking multiple opinions. Not only do scientists and philosophers gain from more information when seeking opinions, but even the mightiest and greatest leaders of history, such as Gandhi who questioned his country and learned of an imperialistic Britain that was corrupting their way of life. When we question many others about their opinions we are given insight into what we missed or had forgotten in the past. Although, when asking others we receive a lot of things that we don't understand yet, so we tend to look it up on the internet out of curiosity and the burning questions we have. Unfortunately, even the internet can't give us all the right answers to our questions, and this will often lead us in the wrong direction.
You'll realize that the one small topic that you may have chosen out of the infinite possibilities, has given you a large amount of answers. By asking one question you came up with hundreds more, and your knowledge on the topic may have been much better than when you first started by asking that one little question. Which proves that seeking others opinions really can help you make a better choice by giving you both sides of the topic, and receiving more information.

You might think that something is boring but then you end up liking it. Just like how I never thought I would like basketball but I tried out for the team. Turns out I do like basketball and I think I'm pretty good at it.
Have you ever wanted to try something new but don't know where to start? Well, join a club. You get to meet new people and you get to try something new. If you think you like something else better you can always join that club. You might even be surprised by how much you like it.
I have sometimes thought that I would never play basketball. My parents always thought softball was my sport. Until I saw my brother playing basketball and thought that it looked fun.

78AF7BDB9CE8,"Many students tend to forget or struggle when their teachers assign them with projects over the summer. Students should design their own projects because teachers don't know what students do over the summer and students want to have fun and want to enjoy it more than having to still do school work. This lets students create a project that will allow them to manage how much time they can set into doing school work and have more time enjoying their break. Letting students choose helps them by setting it at a level that they can work at without struggle and make it easier for them.
Students creating a student-designed project will allow them to manage time better with what they can work on during the summer and have more time enjoying their break. Most students like to travel over the break and sometimes they can't do it abroad and don't have much time when they come back. For example: ""I went to El Salvador with my father and he lives in the country side, in his house he doesn't have wifi but does have cable. Coming back I only had five days to do it before I had to go back to middle school."" Students wouldn't be able to do any school work because they could probably not have internet access and want to enjoy their time visiting.
Students can design their project and making it easier by doing: a summary over a couple of simple novels, do a short essay over a easy and simple prompt, do research over patterns in nature like, looking at moon patterns for two weeks or observe temperatures for a period amount of time and do a study on it when they come back. For example: "" I had a simple project to recorded what the moon looked like at night, every night for a week and draw it. This was easy and simple for me to do and i still learned a lot from it from observing that the moon slowly phases through each night through its cycle."" Even doing small simple projects, students can still learn and discover new things because they don't have to stress about it and its something most students should be able to do.
Someone might say, Teachers select projects that they think is good for students and it's better for a teacher to have control over it because they know their students best, expects them to do their best, accomplish it and that challenging them is good so they don't forget what they learned; however, that's not the case, really what teachers don't know sometimes, and what makes students have a hard time or take a long time on projects is that, teachers want to assign projects to what they think their students can do and put them at a challenging level or a process that takes a long time but students want to have it simple over the summer has they don't have class with other students and don't meet their teachers anymore so they can't ask for help. Students don't need to stress out over the summer by what their teachers assign, letting students decide lets them be creative and discover with what they chose to do.

There are laws that are meant to keep people who are allowed to drive cars safe. ""Most driving laws focus on keeping drivers, passnegers, and pedestrians safe, and lawmakers know that safety is best achieved with alert drivers,"" says the article ""Driverless Cars Are Coming."" This quote is saying that drivers who are more alert are lesser prone to accidents, and breaking drivng laws. How can a driver be alert if cars drive themsleves in the future? ""Presently, traffic laws are written with the assumption that the only safe car has a human driver in control at all times. As a result, in most states it is illegal even to test computer-driven cars."" It is true that in most states it illegal to test drive cars for safety reasons and concerns. These states are trying to keep the people safe, and do so by not allowing self-driven cars. There are facts that prove that selfdriven cars are not a bad idea, and people have been working on imorving them for years.
Some people are really looking forward into the future where there are driverless cars. Google has been working since 2009 to create such a car that would change the world. Google has been testing out such cars to see what they can do to improve them. ""Their cars have driven more than half a million miles without a crash,"" accordining to the article 'Driverless Cars Are Coming.' They have even packed the car with sensors to help detect problems. Other companies are also in the race to create the first working driverless car, and some have seen very good success rates. There are others who have seen the negative side of having these cars around.
Now, the driverless cars sound easy to work. People can just lay back and enjoy a peaceful ride. The truth is that that is not completly correct. The article ""Driverless Cars Are Coming"" states, ""The Google car simply announces when the driver should be prepared to take over."" That means we still have to be in alert for situations the car can not handle. Who would want to sit in a car having to stare at the road, but not do anything to enjoy the ride? Nobody should have to be subjected to that. These new driverless cars do not sound very dirverless or fun to be in.
Cars that can drive themsleves don't sound very safe, or even fun to be in. These cars have been worked on for many years now, and there is no telling when one will be finished. Most states have already passed laws fobidding to even test these cars. So, why should the people be allowed to even drive one? There is a good reason behind this; it is becasue they want to keep us safe. These cars could have problems that we can not detect becasue we are not in control of them.

ADD81915FD58,"In the article, ""The Challenge of Exploring Venus"", Venus is explained to be very dangerous, harsh, and challenging. In this article, the author suggests that Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers that it presents. While the author does explain the harsh matters of the situation, he still supports his ideas and reasons on why Venus should be worth exploring.
In the article, the author states that, ""Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts, but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation."". This quote has good meaning and reasoning on why the author feels that Venus should be worth exploring. With this quote, it is noticable that the author believes in taking risks. In this case, the author believes in taking a risk this big and challenging because it is greatly fascinating by astonomers and it will provide a great amount of knowledge that was once never known before. It will provide a sense of accomplishment, not just for NASA, but for everyone who wants to know what is living on places outside of Earth.
The author states, ""At thirty-plus miles above the surface, temperatures would still be toasty at around 170 degrees Fahrenheit, but the air pressure would be close to that of sea level on Earth. Solar power would be plentiful, and radiation would not exceed Earth levels. Not easy conditons, but survivable for humans."". With this quote, the author is showing how he does understand the difficulties and dangers of going up and exploring Venus. The author is listing a challenge but still comes back with a reason why Venus should be worth the pursuit. In this quote, specifically, the author thinks the pursuit is worth is because humans will still survive that challenge. It may be harsh, but it can be accomplished.
In the article, the author also states, ""More importantly, researchers cannot take samples of rock, gas, or anything else, from a distance. Therefore, scientists seeking to conduct a thorough mission to understand Venus would need to get up close and personal despite the risks. Or maybe we should think of them as challenges."". In this quote, the author is stating that if scientists want to know more, explore more, and seek more about Venus, then they are going to have to get very up close to it. The author is stating that yes, it will be dangerous, but it should be thought of as a challenge, not given up on. The author feels that a challenge like this should be accepted.
In this article, the author feels that Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers that it presents. The author ends with this statement, ""Striving to meet the challenge presented by Venus has value, not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself, but also because human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors."".

Another reason you should become a Seagoing Cowboy is that you get to see and experience lots of the world. When I was a Seagoing Cowboy, on my nine trips, I got to see many parts of Europe and China. The most special parts of my trips were seeing the Acropolis in Greece, and taking a gonola ride in Venice, Italy. When you join the Seaging Cowboys, you will get to see much of the world like I did.

1561823BC14C,"In ""The Challenge of Exploring Venus"" the author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents and how he was saying different things about how Venus is and was shows that he really does have an interest in studying Venus and he defends his argument well because he goes into detail on what he wants to do and what he wants to know.
Although the passage is having to do with exploring Venus theres nothing much said about them doing things because they failed multiple times and by the looks of it I don't think its going to happen because of how the author talks about Venus.
The author seems to be doing everything he could to actually try to explore Venus despite the difficulties they are having, that even if it is dangerous the author will still try to do something about it.
In my opinion I think what the author's doing is very dangerous because he doesn't know what the outcome is going to be, it could go both good and bad because there is a possibility that anything can happen, as said in the article though, they are only looking at sending technology to try to explore Venus not humans so it wouldn't be as dangerous and I think thats why the author is still open on exploring it and not giving up so he can try to find some answers to what hes been questioning.
In the last paragraph (8) the author states that the challenge presented by Venus has value because of human curiosity because it will lead them into many equally intimidating endeavors and just basically saying to think of it as an imagination but at the same time something you can do and want to achieve.
In conclusion if the author thinks that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit then that's what hes going to go for, some people are also curious on that and so the author trying to do that will be helpful to others and himself and if he does succeed others will be satisfied with what the author came up with besides the dangers the study presents I do think that it will all be worth it at the end of the day, because that's a goal they've been trying to accomplish for sometime now.

BBE5305DAE8E,"Have you ever done a summer assignment? Would you rather have it done your way or the teachers way? Summer projects should be teacher-designed because the project will be more focused on what will be learned in class, the project will be more structured to what they're looking for, and the project will be useful to the student.
However, some people may argue that if the project is student-designed, then the student would be more engaged. For example, in ninth grade, the English department demanded an essay written during the summer. When the teacher started collecting papers, I was one of two students who turned in a paper. Almost all the students didn't do the summer assignment. So if the summer assignments were student-designed, then more students could perhaps be more involved. Nevertheless, there are other viewpoints to consider.
To begin with, the project will be more focused on what will be learned in class. For example, in seventh grade, my English teacher required that you write a paper about what you did during the summer. I didn't know what kind of writing she was expecting, but with this essay she was able to tell what we needed to work on. Summer projects should be teacher-designed because teachers will focus on what most students need to learn. This is only one reason why summer projects should be teacher-designed.
In addition, the project will be more structured to what they're looking for. For instance, just like on the writing SOL, there are directions; they are looking for something specific. They are looking for a thesis, transition words, and more to see what you've learned. When you include all those elements that the grader is looking for, you will pass. Summer projects should be teacher designed because you can do all the things that they expect out of the project and you will get a good grade. There are more reasons as to why a summer project should be teacher-designed.
Finally, the project will be useful to the student. Consider as an example, I read about ""the curve of forgetting."" In short, over time, you forget things at an exponentially increasing rate if you don't review the materials you learned one day. The purpose of summer projects are to make sure students keep learning over their long break, so that they don't experience this ""curve"" as much and keep it almost as fresh as when they did learn it on the first day. The project will be useful to the student because they will use this learning in the classroom when they return to school. The claims and evidence stated above all lead to the same conclusion.
In conclusion, teacher-designed summer projects are better than student-designed summer projects because it's more tailored to the class, it's better for the grader and the student, and the information learned will be used in the class and future classes in the same subject. For summer projects to be teacher-designed matters because we need useful learning. I want you to think about if there was a time when you had to do a summer assignment where it was up to you to decide everything.

According to source 1, 12% of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe are from passenger cars. In America, there can be up to 50% of greenhouse gas emissions because there are a lot of people that own cars. An advantage of limiting car usage would definitely be decreasing the amount of greenhouse gases. Also in source 1, a German suburb had entirely banned cars. One person even mentioned how much happier they were since moving to a community without cars.
In source 2, the auther discusses how Paris banned cars for several days due to the amount of pollution. The source even states that the smog rivaled that of Beijing, China. Beijing is one of the most polluted cities in the world. Unfortunately, simply banning something does not stop people from doing it. So, in order to make sure people did as they were told, Parisians were fined 22 euros, which is thirty-one American dollars. To make things simplier for people, public transit was free of charge.
Similarly to Paris, Bogota, Columbia has one day where everyone goes car-free. As stated earlier, not everyone follows the rules when it comes to things simply being banned. According to source 3, violators in Bogota face twenty-five dollar fines. Thanks to the one car-free day in Bogota, 118 miles of bicycle paths have been built. To a lot of people, use of cars damages the environment, so days where everyone goes car-free really do matter and should not be pushed aside as unimportant.
Limiting car usage would certainly decrease the amount of pollution in the atmosphere and other parts of the environment, even if only a little bit.

The Mona Lisa is a painting that dosent show much of an exprestion within her smile, but we can somewhat make out that she is somehow is smiling but with another expretion with it. Fpr according to the computer softwar, the Mona Lisa is mostly happy within the picture but also has other fellings like disgusted, fearful and angry. What most people don't understand is that the software has identified that there are more to what meets the eye of an expretion in life. After having many sciencetist look into this, many have found that by making a smile has to create some kind of an exprestion that we can identifie without technology itself. not all emostion can be identified but at least there is a way to show them through actions.
What I say is that the technology that we us today is not always what we need in life to find out about a simple smile where we can just feel and see it with our own eyes.

7B9DF5C4ADBD,"Many people hid there emotions while others are very open. When someone smiles does that really mean they are happy or is it just a mask conceiling their true emotions. Not many people are very open even with themselves. When times were simplier people how either hid there emotions or speak freely about them. Now in this new day and age a man named Prof. Thomas Huang of the Beckman institute has created a machine that can tell what you are feeling even if you are hidding it.
I am for the value of using this technology to read students emotional expressions. The reason i am for and not against is because this machine can actually save lives. For those who pretend to be happy and are actually depressed they the machine can pick that up and that person/student can get the help and teatment they need. This can help because this machine can detect ""happiness, surprised, anger, disgust, fear and sadness.""
This can be found in paragraph 3. With this new technology it observes the face that will look at your face and look at all the muslces in the face and calculate it to see how you are feeling even if you try and hid it. Everthing is about the muscles in your face that can conduct how you are feeling. In this article it talk about how they tested this by using video imagery where they had people use a computer and they would flash pictures and the device would examine the face to see how they were feelng. They had did this a few times to test it.
In conclusion, they should use this to read studnets emotions because they maybe depressed and it could save lives.

B3B624F3F792,"Facial coding is cool, but it is not valuable in a school setting. Why would one ever need this at their school. Students do not go school to get their emotions checked, they go to learn about history stuff or about anything else. Also we do not know if this computer will truly work on a human because they only talk about attemping it on a painting not a live physical humans. Also how can one produce something so complex that a PC can not even keep up with it. To one it might might be cool, but in reality it is not that interesting for school use.
Why use a computer? Using a computer to find people's emotion is uneccessary because Alto mentions the brain does this calculation everyday with even more acurracy and it will help build comunication skills and put oneself on a deeper level of thought. There is a person that this boy likes or has a crush on and he wants to talk to her, but he doesn't know what to say. Later he notices that she is obviously down about something, and he walks over to her and says ""Hey, are you alright you look kinda down?"" This is the skills we need to work on we need to not rely on computersand learn to read emotions.
While people agree and disagree with this idea the opposition has some good points. If there is kid that has been mentally abused or is depressed. Having this imagery can really help get students to open up and talk about it, so they can prevent what is happening. Another thing it can do is help depict the mood of a painting like previously stated in this article by D'Alto. Also it could help teachers more on understanding their students so they can buils a more positive and stable relationship. By knowing what people are feeling it could effect the mental state of the mind and body and not cause stress.
Overall the effect to this product would be not having the ability to actually depict how one is feeling without using the coding system which could make human intereaction almost artificial.

Although the computer cannot read how you really feel because sometimes people lie about what they do and dont like. So just because you rate that website a 7 doesnt mean you like it you might just want them to think its a good website. The computer would have to be very reliable and trusting for it to be valuable. The students these days is hard to tell because they just don't care anymore. If they don't care then there is no way to tell if they like something or not.

So in my opinion no I don't think they should use the technology to read emotions because it will make things more expensive and less people will buy them.

Extracurricular activities that students can participate in are Sports,Student Council,and Yearbook.
Sports are a big part of schools all around the world since it has many advantages. One thing that sports can help in is helping students stay active throughout the day. Doctors recommend staying active because the body becomes stronger and healthier. Another benefit ,believe it or not, is that Sports can help students work better together. People say theres no I in team thats because in order for a group of people to come together they need to improve they're teamwork to be successful. This extracurricular activities is suitable for many people because of the variety of sports that there are. It takes time for someone to find what they like to do,but because of all the choices students can try different sports until they find one that they enjoy best. One thing that I like about sports best is that they have endless opportunities for you to enjoy yourself.
If Sports isn't your thing you can try Student Council it also has many things to offer. In Student Council you have the chance in meeting new people all the time. The council requires you to work and talk to many people to help better the school and other students daily lives. As you grow older you'll acquire many life skills all student council will do is improve those skills to better prepare you for the next chapter in your life. Think of student council as an office they both have similar ways of running and getting work down the only difference is that they're on different scales. The thing about student council is that they do many things but a big role they play is helping others. The council does many projects to help students and the community like donating,holding fundraisers,and community service. Student Council plays a big role in school,students,and the community if you're the type of person that enjoys helping others Student council is just for you!
On the other hand many people say that an extracurricular activity takes your time away or is a waste of time. The reason for this is that many activities are held after school instead of school hours. However this is not true,nor correct,because extracurricular activities were not designed to take and waste students time. Students will be able to still be able to enjoy and relax during their free time. This is because the activities only take away a small portion of a students daily life plus there are some activities that are held during school hours like yearbook allowing students to take it as a class.
Every school has a wide range of clubs or activities,so that all the students can choose one to their liking that way they can enjoy it other then having to take something they have no interest in doing.

I think that we should not keep the Electoral College and change to election by popular vote for the president of the United States. One main reason why i think we shouldnt keep the Electoral College is because the congress men that vote are in replace of us as citizens and our votes. The Electoral College is what we might call the diaster factor. It is unfair to many citizens because democratic electors can easily oppose their vote and vote for a different president. For example, new electors opposed for John F. Kennedy but in reality the vote didnt go to him. Another issue with Electoral College is that voters vote not for the president but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president.

A9D4A57ADCBA,"Many people have at least one activity that they love, care about, or are passionate about. School helps many kids find out their strengths and weaknesses. I believe that our school should make it mandatory to do an extracurricular activity. This will benefit students tremendously. If these activities can help students expand their social skills, get new opportunities, and let them have some fun at school, then I think our schools should have this requirement.
First, we are going to talk about one of the reasons why the students should be required to be part of at least one extracurricular activity. That reason is sociability. If someone that is shy joins a club that they are interested in, they might talk more because they are in their element and where they feel the safest. Being in a club can also give kids the opportunity to make new friends. Students can learn social skills from working in groups within the club, or working with the whole club. Students might feel like they fit in more if they are in an activity where mostly everyone has a common interest. Depending on the club, there are multiple different ways that doing an extracurricular activity can help a student expand their social skills.
New opportunities and getting to explore different interests are a great benefit of doing an extracurricular activity. Students can learn about something they never knew existed. One time I was at a camp and they made us choose an activity that we wanted to try. I chose wood burning, and I had a learned a plethora of things that I did not know before. If the camp had never made me choose something to do, I would have never learned about wood burning. This very closely relates with the extracurricular activities. Students can get exposure to different types of activities, and may even find a new hobby that they enjoy. Next, we will talk about the third reason why I believe that we should make the activity mandatory.
The third reason why students should have to do an activity is so they can have fun. For many kids, school is work and stress. If they have a club to look forward to at the end of the day, it can make school more enjoyable, and maybe even more fun. It is also relaxing to have an activity that you get to do with your friends, and not worry about homework or tests. Some extracurricular activities may have fun projects or activities to do that students can enjoy. If a student is doing an activity that they enjoy or have an interest in, then it is likely that they will be having fun.
Having fun, learning new social skills, and exploring different clubs/activities are just some of the many reasons why our school should make extracurricular activities mandatory. These activities can lead students through a journey of self-discovery, and can benefit most of the students. I think it is the right choice to make all students do an extracurricular activity, and doing so will let kids enjoy some of the things that they care about and are passionate about.",,521,Mandatory extracurricular activities,Independent,"Your principal has decided that all students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity.

534B7D65F1BC,"Summer is a long vacation where students take break from all school works and have time for themselves and it should be student-designed. This can even allow teacher not to have so much work to grade and they themselves can go on vacations also. Students shouldn't be required to complete summer projects, because it's a time for students to spend time with their families, have experience in job or volunteer for clubs, and have time for themselves.
During summer breaks student get to spend with parents go on vacations, visit families in other countries and take care of their siblings. They get to have fun with their families for example, go in a 5k run, go to the museum, which can let them get closer to their famllies.
Students get to have job experience or volunteer for other clubs. They can even have interest in something which is a great opportunity for them to know their future career and it's very important for every student. They also get to know work ethics before they get in there future career. For example they can babysit which can give them the experience about babies if they like them or not. They also get the opportunity to get a job and save up for college, which can help them become responsible.
Summer it's a time for students to have time for themselves. Students do not really get time for them and it's becoming a difficult thing for them, because to all the school works and school stress. They get to have their own time, like hanging out with their friends, going cool and relaxing places or going for therapy. There is a poem that state that, "" all work and no play, makes a person doll. No work and no play makes a person lazy."" There is times to work and there is time to take breaks. Students can't be working all the times, they have to get time for themselves especially their social life.
Even though student summer breaks are for student to relax and get experiences for other job, however, it some student play all the time, have fun and not even read a book or revise the lesson he or she was thought before the summer break. This can can cause a student to forget everything they've learn. It can also cause students to be lazy and not wanting to go back to school any more. For example a student can play a game called play station by the time summer is over the student can get addicted to it and he or she will focus on the game more than his or her studies.
To sum up, summer projects should be student-design and let them explore around the world or wherever they want to go and relax their brains. Teacher should also time about it.""

F9BE4676CA35,"""All students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity.""why? well because it helps you a lot in the future or now so the principal is right on letting every student do an extracurricular activity.
To me each student actually should participate in one or more activity. Because it helps you mentally and emotionally,and helps you get collage credits and be healthy. Many research has proven many reason why people should do at least one activity to help you benefit in life .Research has proven people who have done sports most likely wont have heart attacks or won't even have breathing problems or mostly any issues.
How it helps you benefit in staying fit or healthy or both is well playing a sport can really help you lose weight .help you be more active like for example playing baseball,basketball,track or even being a cheerleader and many other sports can help you a lot more then you think, because research has proven a lot that people who are more active are people who are benefiting from it a lot .
Another way it helps you is emotionally is because you get distracted and you dont think about the stuff that is stressing you all the time. you know you have a break from what is keeping you stressed because you are having fun. for example of having a way to distract yourself isn't just sports its working with other like helping out the councilor, helping out in making the yearbook, helping around in the school and not being just about you when your just thinking all about you well that is the problem. Instead of have all the students separated you can put all of the students each in different groups everyday that way people get to know each other and have fun .
collage credits also matter and playing a sport or just helping around the school would look amazing on a collage application . Extra activities would make a lot more collages be interested in you and most likely be interested in giving you a scholarship. You mostly get into a great collage because all the extra credit actually helps you get noticed by a lot of collages because they aren't just looking for people who have good grades they are looking for people who actually are more outstanding. Like grades are great, but how can you handle being nice . Have certain thing taken care of before anything . well how you take certain things serious because if you can't take your own high school classes seriously how are you going to take care of your classes in collage .Also collages are seeing how independent you are, and how well you do around others .
Having all the students do one or more extracurricular activity will benefit them so much of a lot of reasons why actually so you should try it out .Also because it doesn't hurt you to give it a try .

5D438CA4AE18,"Did you know that some students are giving up going to school all together and still getting their diploma? This is because some students are opting to take online classes from the comfort of their own home rather than going to school. Although some say it may be easier to concentrate when working from home, learning online from videos can be much harder to understand, and it can be difficult for a student to learn on their own without being able to easily ask questions.
Learning online can be very difficult. I often find myself trying to use websites such as Khan Academy to help learn material that I missed in class, however it rarely ever helps. These types of websites can be helpful to practice material that was already learned, but are not very effective for teaching it. It is easier to learn in a classroom where you can consult a teacher if you have any questions or need help understanding something.
In addition to that, it could also be challenging to learn by oneself without any help. At school, students can study with each other, explain things to each other, and work together on worksheets and projects. A student taking online classes is largely on their own to learn the material assigned to them. Students learning in a classroom can ask their teacher a question and get a detailed and specific answer, but if a student learning at home were to have that same question, the videos they learn from may not answer it and a quick Google search may not give the correct answer or not give an in depth answer.
A lot of people argue that learning from home and taking online classes can make it a lot easier for students to concentrate as they would not be bothered by other students, however there can be just as many or more distractions at home as there are at school. Students could wind up on their phone or playing video games and wasting a lot of time when they could be learning. In a classroom, a teacher would quickly stop any students who are goofing off or using their phones, but at home there wouldn't be anyone to keep the students on task. Even if their parents were home, they can't keep a constant eye on them all day long. It is better to learn in a classroom because there will ultimately be less distractions.
All in all, it is better for students to go to school because they can work together and ask each other questions, ask the teacher questions, and avoid the difficulty of learning from videos online. Classrooms are an all around better learning environment and being taught by a teacher is more effective than learning online through videos.",,460,Distance learning,Independent,Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing.

C1F52F0473A1,"The principal has decided that seven hours of school isn't enough. Now he is making everyone do at least one extracurricular activity every week. The students aren't given a choice, they are being forced to use their own time, not during the school day, to participate in an activity they may not want to do. Students should be able to choose what they want to spend their free time doing. It can be damaging to students if they are not able to choose how they want to spend their afternoons after a long, hard school day. This plan can cause many negative effects on students like getting less sleep, worse grades, and many other negative consequences.
With the principles approach, students will have less time to complete their assignments. Going to an activity will take time that can be used for things like completing homework away from the students. They will have less time to complete their homework, which means they most likely will stay up later than normal and get less sleep. This can cause the student to focus less and do worse in school, and can also affect their mental health A more reasonable approach would be to promote participating in extracurricular activities. That way, more students will join, but it will be their choice. It is not fair that this valuable time is being taken away from them.
The principle's approach may sound positive at first, but looking into it shows it can be very unhealthy for students.

Essentially when thinking of traveling from and beyond, we should not be limited by dangers or even the doubts of such exploration, buy we should expand and exceed to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation that comes from exploring such subtances in space. The true reason for us to examine Venus is for the innovation and progress in science that comes from it and how Venus is the closet planet to have identical features as earth.
Even if our sister planets are out of the question for examination due to dangerous conditions, astronomers are fascinated by Venus since it has the potential to be the most Earth-like planet in our entire solar system. The text states that, ""The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters."" This quote indicates that Venus has similar features to what Earth has; therefore, Venus is the nearest option when looking at planets that are similar to Earth and also the consideration that we have a pretty long time frame for space travel. There aren't many options for a safe and scientifically mission, so this is our best option for porductive wise for us in the space enviroment of exploring. This is one solid reason for the author to say that the trip to Venus would be a worthy pursuit, but would have dangers to it, but we will be able to expand our innovation in the science world.
NASA has a plan to allow scientist to go to Venus with a blimp-like vechile which whould hover 30 feet above the Venusian landscape letting them examine the features of Venus. The quote provides, ""At thirthy-plus miles above the surface, temperatures would still be toasty at around 170 degrees Fahrenheit, but the air pressure would be close to that of sea level on Earth."" The quote indicates that the scientists may feel toasty with that 170 degrees of Fahrenheit on them, but the pressure that is psuhed on the would be the equivalent of the sea level which is on Earth. Overall, these are not the easiest conditions, but it is survivable for humanss to live and stay productive in the task at hand. This is another solid reason for the scientist to travel to Venus and to expand there knowledge and space innovation as well, even with hazardous conditions that are presented during there examination.
By having the will and courage to travel and observe the features of this planet, which has the potential to be similar to the planet that we live on, Earth, we are able to expand our thoughts and innovation of space and able to progress in our space knowledge as a whole. Even though there will be dangers that are presented during the journey, you will be protected by science itself, with its blimps from NASA or the will for observation in comparing Earth and Venus's features.

I think you should use policy 1 for several reasons. If someone needs a ride after school and there are no cell phones, there will be no way to communicate with your parents or get any help.

As you are well aware, elections in the United States are of extreme importance. Therefore, it is vital to have the best system possible when electing officials. Maintaining the current system of Electoral College would be a fatal mistake to our country. We must elect canidates by poular vote alone.
According to the articele
The Indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong by Bradford Pulumer, ""At the most basic level, the electoral college is unfair to voters. Beccause of the winner-take all system in each state, candidates don't spend time in states they know they have no chance of winning, focusing only on the tight races in the ""swing"" states."" Americans who are voting the the next president should have the right to hear what canidates have to say. They may be the only one in their state who is not a democrat, but shouln't their vote still be heard.
The article also states that, ""Perhaps most morrying is the prospect of a tie in the elctoral vote. In that case, the election would be thrown to the Houise of Representatives, where sate delegations vote on the president."" Shouldn't the American people get to decide who their president is?! We fought a war so that we would be able to govern ourselves. If the House of Representatives are allowed to choose our president, then why did why fight the war againg Great Britain? It isn't right.
Though the article

Yet that has happened very rarely."" The opposition even admits that the President may not be who the nation wants as their leader. That should never happen.
As you see Senator, Electoral College must be abolished by any means neccessary. To keep such an unjust system goes against the very principle the America was founded on. ""We the people..."" It was not ""We the government..."" or ""We the rulers..."". How can we claim to be a nation of liberty when the citizend are unable to determine who their president should be.

663555E90485,"Dear Principle,
I have been informed that you are thinking about making the requirement to play sports a B
grade average. I think that this is a bad idea for many reasons. Most of the kids in this school only have a C grade average which means of the kids that might want to play sports this would not be good for them because that could mean that they cant play sports anymore and that could disappoint a lot of people and even some parents. If this happens it could mean people leaving the school and are school's sports teams might not be as good as they used to be because some of the good kids only had a C average and they could not play sports anymore.

I think that Policy 1 would be the better choice and her are my reasons. The first reason i think u should use policy 1 is because a lot of kid use the phone for many different reason's like for example kids use there phone's to play game , get on the internet, text and also call and many more reason's. My second reason that i think that Policy 1 would be a good use is because what if a kid has an emergency that the school can't handle then what? , but if that kid had his or her phone the could call there parent to came and solve the problem that the kid had. and my final reason is that it would be a good use because that a lot phone now got calculators in and a lot of mathematic equipment in side that can help you for math.

5CBABB7D3A65,"Yes I do think students would benefit from being able to attend classes from home because some students prefer to be home school instead of attending class because that might be the best way for them to learn. Some students may like having a video conference or online class about their school work. For example i know this one student that is home school and she said that she loved it because it's super easy for her to catch up on all of her work and her missing assignments she even have a teacher that comes to her house to help her and guide her. I know that some online classes can be kinda hard and frustrating but real easy .
if you take your time and read through it but you also have to make sure that you stay on track with your modules are you will be behind on all of your work. The good thing about having online classes is that it is self pace and you can submit your work and assignment when you are ready. Honestly i think that all schools should offer distance learning classes as a option because it will help a lot of students out with their grades and everything. For example i take a online chemistry class and it is very hard and frustrating for me i'm very slow on self pace but i always try to get my work done as quick as i can chemistry is not a easy subject but i get through it moral of the story is that online classes is really helpful for students that have self pace.
I know that some students love having online classes definitey if you are a upper class men it's helps a lot with having less classes and school work some studnets be behind on there work assigments with self pace i'm a slow worker i take my time doing my work even though i be getting confused on some stuff i be behind on a lot of work but i still get it done i might turn it in a couple of days later but it will still be complete even though i will get some points taken off.

D9B85CAE8834,"Dear State Senator
Should the Electoral College be kept in favor? The electoral college does avoid the problem of elections. Well on the other hand, Richard Nixon,Jimmy Carter, and Bob Dole agreed to abolish the elctoral college and change to election by popular vote for the president of the U.S.It is unfair to the voters because the electors elect the president. Also, not only are the voters voting for electors,they are voting for the canidate's electors when they think they're voting for the canidate. Choosing a president should be elected by the popular vote of people not electors.
To start with,the president of the United States should be elected by the popular vote of the people. The president is there to guide and lead the people. The citizens of the U.S should have the right to vote for who they think should be president. For instance,some residents have a feeling that their votes don't count.
To add,it is unfair to the voters because the elctors elect the the president. Eventhough the electors represent your state,they don't let the people choos who they desire for president. When voting for president, it shouldn't be all about the electors. The Electoral College even has the possibility of turning voters away that voted for a canidate that has no hope for supporting their state.
Further more,the electoral college does avoid problems. Meaning,a canidate cannot receives a certain amount of the votes cast. For instance, when a canidate has more votes than other canidates while not receiving a clear majority oof votes.

31465D2CACDF,"Computers are one of the best inventions ever made by humans because they have enabled everybody around the world to connect to the Internet. The Internet fuels most peoples lives because of the sheer amount of accessible information about anything and everything. However, should we let computers start making their own decisions? Thomas Huang is the creator of a computer software that allows computesr to read human emotions using 3-D modeling and analyzing muscle movements in the face. At first glance, this appears to be an interesting concept, but there could be several downsides to this type of invention such as overall practicality, implementation in today's society, and even safety and security issues.
First of all, is a software that can read our emotions actually useful? There is potential for this type of software to be used on people for occasions such as a interrogation where the suspect could be lying and the software could detect a quivering lip. On the other hand, this type of software is most likely not going to make it into the homes of the people which presents a business problem. Their solution is to introduce the software into schools to be used for enhancing the learning experience. Dr Huang describes how computers in the classroom could ""recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored...then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instuctor"" resulting in a better learning environment for the student. The issue is, not every student needs this, and many will prbably disagree with having this software implemented in their school. So, this type of computer software has few areas that it will probably be used causing it to be less practical than it originally seems.
Secondly, how will FACS (Facial Action Coding System) be implemented into a society that is normally unwilling to new changes regarding their technology? People want improvements, but they don't want change. For example, when an application has an update most people update it without giving it a second thought because the newer it is the more likely it will be ""better"" than the previous version. But, when a new phone comes out with plenty of changes people are skeptical and wait for their friend to buy it before they consider purchasing one themselves. So, as a result, people will most likely be skeptical of a software that is able to read emotions because it is something new and no one has any experiences with it yet. This causes FACS to seem like a software that won't be implemented or at least widespread for a long time.
Lastly, will the common person feel like their privacy is being invaded with this new software? For FACS to work the user must have a camera or some kind of scanning device that is able to detect individual muscles. A highly accurate scanning device in the common home will most definitely scare some people out of having this type of software. For example, some people believe that they are already watched through their smartphone camera even though they don't have any form of evidence of such actions taking place. A natural fear of invasion of privacy is part of human nature and cannot be changed. In paragrpah seven D'Alto, the author, mentions that FACS can detect a fake and a real smile which only solidifies the softwares scanning precision. What if someone was talking with their boss using their computer and they lied to protect their job? Although this kind of action should result in that person being punished or fired FACS could use the camera on the computer to see that they were lying and report it to the person's boss or company. Now, this situation is impractical and hopefully it never happens, but the idea that FACS has the ability to use a camera in the home to do whatever they want is scary and will drive people away from using it.
In conclusion, FACS will probably be used for specific tasks only, but it is interesting to ponder the potential for similar softwares in the future. The main problem that Dr. Huang will face is trying to show the people the trustworthiness of the product. If there is too much skepticism from the people it simply won't be found around the world and rather only in more secluded places such as labs or research facilities for testing purposes. In the future, other softwares will be created and maybe they will have the potential to impact the world in influential, innovative, and successful ways.

E9572AFBB5A5,"Dear Principal,
I think that students should be required to do community service because helping others is a good way to build character.
Doing community service makes you feel good about yourself because you have helped accomplish something or make a needed change in your community.
It is good to help people that are less fortunate than you because it shows you're caring and compassionate.
Helping people in the community will show students what other people have to go through and deal with, which will help them to be less selfish and not take so many things for granted.
I think students should be required to do around 2-3 hours of community service annually because if students have sports or other after school activities they might not have a lot of time to perform community service.
I think every student is perfectly capable of performing a couple hours of community service.
Students should do a type of community service that helps a topic or idea that interests them.
For example if a student likes animals they could volunteer at an animal shelter or if the student enjoys cooking they could volunteer at a soup kitchen.
Students may think that performing a little community service won't help change the world at all, but even helping someone in a small way can make a big difference.
Helping your community will make students better, more admirable and more respected people.
Students who volunteer when they're young are more likely to continue volunteering when they're an adult.
Then when they get married or have children they can show them how good it is to perform community service.
Students should be required to do community service because I believe it will help them become a better person.

A8477186CCB4,"This essay will have many reasons to why the ""Face on Mars"" is just a natural landform created with the use of shadows to form what looks to be, a human face. Some people believe that the Face on Mars was created by aliens or any kind of life on Mars, and NASA is trying to keep the public from knowing.
The first reason is that it has been confirmed by NASA that the human face is just an illusion! This illusion created by shadows gives it the appearance of a human face. Now some people may believe that NASA is saying that it is an illusion because they want to hide that they have been given a sign of life in space. Most people do not know that if there was life on Mars then NASA would benefit, which I will speak more about in the next paragraph.
The second reason to convince you that the ""Face on Mars"" is just a landform is that if there was life on Mars, it would be no secret! NASA would financially benefit from life on Mars. Think of all the publicity NASA would get and how much money that would bring to them, they could fund a lot more programs and projects.
The third reason is that we can not question the power of the technology they have at NASA. NASA has taken several looks at the face and each time the results are the same. They have extraordinary cameras and photography technology at NASA. What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a mesa, most common in the American West.

A0938A136F0A,"Students should not be allowed to take distance classes at their schools. Being at home, taking classes on a computer all day is not good for you. There are many problems that occur when you get no social interaction in real life. It is important to make coversations with people in person, the amount of work completed would decrease, and there would not be as many memories made.
The importace of in real life interaction is huge! There is a big difference between talking to someone face to face, and talking to someone over the internet. Many people are not scared to say whatever they want on the internet, while in person they are very timid or hesitant to express themselves. Making students go to school and interact with people helps them slowly break out of their shell and become more willing to talk to people. But if students stay at home and take classes and never talk to people, it would be nearly impossible to break out of that shell.
The amount of work that is completed and turned in would drop dramaticly. If you think about it students hardly do their homework, so why would they do classwork at home? They would not and this would lead to a drop in grades. A person that is for the distance classes could say that they could attend class even while they are sick. But even if that is true if they are too sick to go to school they will probably not pay attention to the class thats on their computer.
A big thing they would miss out on is the memories. There are so many times where someone messes up something and the whole class starts laughing, or the teacher assigns a fun class activity that makes the whole day better.

I remember when I was a little girl my dad would take me to go the park every Sunday to pick up litter. He would always tell me ""It's very important to help out your community.""
Now he works on the weekends but, I still go every Sunday. There are so many reasons to do community service. It help the community you live in, it can teach you new things, also it shows you what things are really important.
It helps your community more then people realize. The little actions can influence other people and eventually become bigger actions. It also helps our planet, by picking up litter your helping to stop and animal from chocking on it. Also if you help paint a neighborhood and clean it up then the people will be happier too. With happier people just makes it a better place to live in.
It can teach you new things. You could learn how to make things out of recycled cans, paper, anything. It will teach you that community service helps everybody rather then just yourself. Nobody just does it and never learns anything or nobody would ever do it. It can teach you how to make other people happy and make things better for everybody.
Community service shows you some things that are actually important in life. Rather then the new shows on T.V. Nobody likes to live in a dirty place so it can show you how to keep things clean. You could start a tradition like my dad did with me, you could do it with a family member or friends. It shows you how to put other people before yourself and how to make others happy. You will learn new things every time you go.
All in all community service is a great way to show people many things. They could help their community, learn new things, or even find out what's really important in life. Without community service the parks would be discussing, there would probably be more wrecked neighborhoods which nobody wants to live in, life wouldn't be as beautiful.

It allows students to get a job and help out there family if needed. They wouldnt have to stress about going to school everyday and not be able to work. It frees up more time for other activities as well. They can do sports or take extra classes.
Thats why i think its good that some schools offer distance learning. It benefits a lot of students that need the extra help. It gives them a better chance to finish school early. Attending classes from home would also be a lot safer now in days then school. Thats why distance learning is the best option.",,241,Distance learning,Independent,Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing.

B18624117239,"Dear TEACHER_NAME,
Cell phones are an important thing in today's world.
Most people have one.
While cell phones can be distracting, they are also very helpful.
Since you are reconsidering the school's cell phone policy, I believe that the best possible policy is Policy 1.
Students should be able to have their cell phones in their free time at school.
Students sometimes need to be in contact with someone over something important.
They also could desire talking to their friends with their cell phones.
They could even if bored, just play games on their phone.
Those are some examples why cell phones should be aloud in free time at school.
Cell phones can be a bad thing at schools though, because they can get very distracting.
Recently, there have been many accidents due to people being distracted by cell phones.
Some examples of these accidents are people walking into things and many car accidents, all caused from someone being distracted by a cell phone.
It is even said that when a driver is distracted by a cell phone, it is worse the driving under the influence.
While cell phones are good, they can be very distracting.
If cell phones are used properly and at the proper times while at school, they should be fine.
If a student is caught using their cell phone in class, their teacher could just take it up for the rest of the class.
The only reason a student should be allowed to use it during class is in an emergency.
Otherwise, using a cell phone in class would be unacceptable.
Though cell phones can be bad, I still believe that they are more good than they are bad.
It is important to keep in touch with people.
If you don't see a friend at school, you could call them and meet up at lunch.
Policy 1 would be the best policy, and the more popular out of the two.
From Your Student,

5402D8B83297,"Summer projects should be based on student designed. The students will be able to decide what they want to do, how they can do it, and it will give them time to decide what there project would be based on. Most students tend to actually do work when they are allowed to chose what it is. Students usually like making their own decisions. It helps them focus much more better and they will be having a great way to show the teacher they know how to do projects on their own.
One reason why I think student should design their project is because some students travel to another country. Sometimes to go visit family or to have new experience. If students are able to design their project they can make it based on If they went to a different country. They will be able to learn about there culture and how it is different from where the student is from. If they visit family from a different country they can have a little interview with there family and they can turn that into a project. It will give them so much options on what to do there projects on. Being able to pick your own project is such a better experience because you will be learning new things.
Another reason why I think Students should design their own projects is because teachers sometimes give their students a complicated project. Some students won't be able to understand what they are supposed to do. based on not understanding what the project is about they will end up giving up and not doing the project. Students making their own designed project would mean it would cause them to have to think more. They would have to gather a lot of information to make sure their project is good and filled with details.
Therefore Teachers won't have to do so much work. If students decide their project they would have to come up with many of decisions. Students would have so many great memories. Just by this one project many of things happen over summer it would be a good idea to use their experiences from summer on there project. As a student myself I would rather be able to pick my own project. It would let me learn new things and have much more better experience.
In conclusion, Student should be able to design their own project. It would be fun for them to learn new things especially when it's by there decisions. They are able to think hard and decide what to do their topic on.
They would have to put in much effort to be able to get a good grade. Teachers wouldn't have so much grading to do. The teachers will also be learning new things from the students.

E6593B7BFBEB,"The Facial Action Coding System would be a great addition to everyday school life. This computer system can help with several things from elementary school to college. This could also change the way the world works forever. The FACS can easily be an important part of our education society.
The first and most effective thing FACS would impact is student's attitudes in the classroom. If FACS was active on all of the students computers, it could detect their emotions to influence them to get back on track and focus. It could also simply just keep the concentration going about the lesson being instructed. ""A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored,' Dr. Huang predicts. 'Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor"" (D'Alto 6) . This can improve the interaction in class and can also improve many students grades.
If FACS was implemented into schools, students would feel more involved in the lecture, and pay attention more while being extra alert. Students will also be more knowledegable due to the fact that they are taking in information and really getting to learn about it, instead of just trying to find the answers that will satisfy on a worksheet or test. While feeling more involved, alert, and learning a lesson with full attention, this will impact grades greatly. This will help even more students proceed on into the next step of education, which is college.
FACS would benefit in grade school and would most definitely continue to help students in college. College can get difficult, but FACS could influence to keep students focused when they seem to become overwhelmed by their expressions. If students are impacted by FACS when they are younger and proceed on to college while continuing their education, there then comes a career. FACS will help in high school to get you to a college of your dreams, also best fit for your major. Then in college, it will help you focus and be actively listening and learning about your major to help you find a career that best fits you and your abilities. If everyone could have the opportunity to have the career as what best suits them, they will have an easier life and being more helpful to the people around them.
If FACS started being used in elementary school, proceeded to middle school, and so on in high school; it will teach students the habit of fully paying attention in class and being active. It will improve grades greatly. It will also help college students stay focused, even when times seem to become difficult. They will also already be influenced to stay active and fully aware of the lesson in class. If a student has well listening skills and is knowledgeable of their major, they will find the best job for theirself. If more people began to find jobs that benefitted them, and they were happy doing it, it would impact more than just students, it would impact the whole world.

013692FA66AF,"Dear, TEACHER_NAME
I am an eighth grader in your school and I love the school. But lately there has been talk about community service and how it affects student life and if you want it as a school wide activity or a choice for any one who wants to do it.
Being a student i have a view on this situation and how it could be possibly resolved.
As a student i have a lot of projects and work to do in school and out of school.
The problem that many people would have with community service being mandatory is that it would be added inn with home work and even a job that some people could have. It also would be hard to fit this in to any schedule or to not do one thing because of it. There for many of us that would be stressed and have many things to do Because of it.
An idea to help you add community service to our schedule is have a sign up for people who want to do it or have it as an extra credit opportunity for the history and language arts classes this would help many kids to get better grades and be more involved in there community when they wanted to be. it would also be structured and would be more enjoyable to the person that got the finished community service slips
One more suggestion would be to have a school wide day when every on goes out and does community service once a month. It would be fun to do it with your whole grade and friends also you would have more motivation from people you know. ( Charity events would be good to)

I agree with the principal 100% that students should not be allowed to participate in any sports unless they have a B average. It's good in so many ways. The students would work hard, many people would be passing, and the teams may win and strive to be the best. That's why I agree with the principal.
Maiden students would study harder. I say that because many kids at my school loves sports. On the other hand just loving sports want take you any where in life. So if those student really love their sport and would want to continue to participate then trust me so that they will actually do their work and take school more seriously. That would also look good on the school behave, if every single student in that school is making no higher then a B. So that's one reason why I agree with the principal.
In the second place, for those who play sports they wouldn't have to worry about if they would have to take summer school or anything because you know that if you're playing sports then you are also passing. Also this new rule might actually make student enjoy school and wanting to come for every reason. In addition if those sport minded people actually receive a good education in both middle school and high school then more collages would ask for them both academically and for sports. So then it will work out best for the students as well.
Lastly when those students play in the game they will probably be bring on their ""A game"". Only because they would feel though as if they work hard in the books, then they deserve to win. And if they don't want to be tired before the game or practice they might strive to get all of their work done in class. Then they will be happy to bring home the trophy and the report card with all A' s and B' s. That's the other reason why I agree with the principal.

C6EF9DDBAA4C,"Put yourself in a position were you are a student at school and you principle recently announced that every student is going to have to take an extracurricular activity like sports, working on the yearbook, serve at the student council, etc. How would you respond to this and what would you do to defend or argue against it. I argue against it and say that all students should not take an extracurricular activity because they maybe have interest into it, be clueless of what do to in the activity, or maybe have more important things to do instead of that activity. In my paper hopefully I convince you to argue against why students must participate in extracurricular activities.
First thing I say a student in some case may have no interest into the activity because he has experienced it before and didn't like it or had a bad experience. For example if the school has only three sport activities like baseball, soccer, and football the student just wants to do a sport. The student doesn't want to do football at all because he couldn't throw as far as all the other kids and got bullied for it having a really bad time. And since there is a little amount of sport activities he will be a lucky guy if he got baseball or soccer. The next day he finds out everything has been filled for soccer and baseball and he doesn't want to do anything else either than a sport so he just has to choose football. What would you do if someone bulllied you for not doing something properly and be afraid to do it again.
Second thing is maybe the student has no clue in what to do the activity he chose but has to try to do it because his parents think he should try something new in something he or she doesn't like but just wants them to feel happy. If the student joins a science club but enjoys doing coding on computers he or she has to try to do it because he wants to make his or her parents happy. Also the student parents do a check up on him everyday to see what he or she has learned in the science club but doesn't know that much in science so the student can't say much about it. Eventually the student gets tired of it and tells his or her parents he or she doesn't like it but its to late for the student now, every other club is full and can't take anymore now he just has to deal with it. If you were in this situation were you didn't like something and you wated to change it what would you do?
Third thing is if a student has more important things to do like study for a test, finish a big project, or finish late homework but at the same time he wants to practice soccer because he wants to become a soccer player when he or she grows up what can he do to balance things out between school and sports. If there were more activities throughout the school that had both in this case like one week about working on school and another on just sports that would be his or her top choice. So he is going to have to make a difficult choice and both of them can lead him or her to bad things if he doesn't do one or the other. How would you handle this situation of balancing important things out.
In conclusion I argue against it and say that all students should not take an extracurricular activity because they maybe have interest into it, be clueless of what do to in the activity, or maybe have more important things to do instead of that activity. All I'm saying if you want to make students take extracurricular activity mandatory have more clubs than you can think of so each student can be satisfied or rearrange students after the process of them selecting clubs.

when you give people adivce they think more about the situation.
3 good opinions to tell people that is make bad choices is make your mom proud, play sports, and stay away from negative energy.
The first good opinion is making your mom proud. and what I mean by that is focusing on your school work and not getting in trouble inside and outside of school. There are a alot of people that is smart but just hang with the wrong crowd and that crowd get them in trouble.
The second good opinion is playing sport. When playing sports it keep you out the streets and the wrong. It also keep keep you out of trouble and it leads you up a good path in life. When you are good at the sport you play you can get a scolarship but you can not mess it up for your self because you want to hang with your friends.
The last good opinions staying away from negative energy.
When you do not stay away from negative energy it can get you killed or in jail. When you stay away from the negativity you do not have to worry about people trying to harm you. Focous on school and get As and Bs but even if the negativity is in your school just walk away or say "" I dont feel like being bothered"". Then you will not be around that negative energy no more.

106B97B0C429,"When scientists first saw the face, they figured it was just another Martian mesa. Martian mesa's are pretty common in Cydonia, and this is the only one that had unusual shadows that made it look like an Egyptian Pharaoh. After NASA looked at it for a few days they let it out to the public. Scientists believed it was a huge rock formation that just ""looks"" like a human head. Then, they said that the shadows made it look like it had a nose, eyes, and mouth.
The first web site the Face ever appeared on was JPL web site. It showed a natural land form, and no alien monument after all. However, Alien Researchers believe that since MGS had to peer through whispy clouds to see the face that alien markings were hidden by the haze. Because of this, Mission controllers took a second trip. They took better pictures than the Viking photo and had great results.
Garvin was the Mission Controller in command and he points out that that things in a digital come up three times bigger than the original image. He also says, ""So, if there were objects in this picture like airplanes on the ground or Egyptian-style pyramids or even small shacks, you could see what the were!"" He tells us that this is rule of thumb and that he knows what he is doing because this is his job.

""A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus. Even more challenging are the clouds of highly corrisive sulfuric acid in Venu's atmosphere."" The author also claims that Venus is very hot like flaming hot, over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and that is one of the main reason why it's so challenging to land on Venus. ""On the planet's surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 time greater than what we experience on our own planet.""
The reasons on why scientists are still discussing about Venus today is because Venus is the only planet that use to look like earth with its rocky terrain and with that Astronmers are fascinated.

Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system.""

8C8AC3D7768E,"Aliens may or may not be real, but if they were they could not make this. I know this is just a natural landform. Yes it is weird that this landform looks like a face i agree with that, but saying aliens made it is just crazy. Here are some reasons on how i know and can prove that aliens did not make this.
First if aliens did make this how could they make it. They had to have some kind of machine or something they couldn't have just built it with there hands. So if they did make it we would of seen how like some machine like i said before. Also they would of left some kind of foot mark or something they couldn't have and not left a single mark.
The second reason is if aliens made it don't you find it weird that it looks like a human face. Where or how would they get the idea of making it look like our faces. The only way they could do that is if they went to earth and saw our faces there and if there aliens on earth NASA would be the first to know.
The third reason is in unmasking the face on mars it says in paragraph 12 ""What the picture actually shows is the martian equivalent of a butte or mesa-landform common around the American West."" Then to prove it even more it says this. ""It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho."" ""That's a lava dome that takes the form of an islolated mesa about the SAME height as the face in mar."" So that just said that these ""faces"" are common around the American West and I'm pretty sure aliens are not on earth. So unless aliens came to earth made a face and then left without NASA seeing it would be impossible.

F1CE49620429,"Dear Senator,
The Electoral College should not be the deciding vote for the president of the United States of America. Every popular vote of the people should be counted towards deciding the next president. If America is a democracy and in a democracy people pick the leader then every citizen's vote should count, not just the majority.
First things first, only a few states have taken action towards my claim. Those being Maine and Nebraska. These states have made a ""proportional representation"", which is unlike the ""winner take all"" that the other 48 states have adopted. The text states ""Most states have a winner take all method system that awards all electors to the winning presidential candidate"" (What Is the Electoral College?7).This portrays that with the ""winner take all"" method various amounts of U.S. citizen votes have gone unaccounted for.
Multiple occasions have dimmed the surface of our elections where their voices aren't heard. The author says ""faithless electors have occasionally refused to vote for their party's candidate and cast a deciding vote for whomever they please"" (Plumer 11). Going into this further, that means that one person can disagree with hundreds of people's votes for his own vote of the opposite party. Also, if a tie was to occur int the total electoral votes then the outcome would be put into the hands of the House of Representitives. If the people were to vote in the first place this occurance would have never came close.
On the other hand, it is much harder to calculate the total number of the popular vote being that there are millions of people voting. It is much easier to count and not dispute over a hundred or so votes than a million. But, having people know that their vote doesn't make it to actually voting for the president makes them not as ethuisiastic about voting. The text says ""no voter's vote swings an election""(Posner 23). This explains why only about one half of eligible American voters voted.
In conclusion, America is a democracy, which means people elect the president, not a elector but the people. The author states ""The electoral college is unfair, outdated, and irrational."" (Plumer 14). This further explains that electors cannot make decisions without being biased toward their party. Also portraying well, the feelings of many Americans who feel the same way.

1EF3F333D2C4,"Some schools offer distance learning as an option fro students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing. I disagree with students being able to have distance learning at home. students could do nothing at all, get in trouble, and not have good experience with people if decided to go to college.
Students could do nothing at all if their supposed to be home learning. A couple examples: opportunity to play around, be lazy, and loosing education and knowledge. Teens are not responsible at home to learn. Most dont even do homework at home s why have students have control over it. Adults needs to manage that. Teens brains arent fully developed so they dont take much serious. They like to play outside, play video games, and sleep at the wrong times when students are supposed to be working. Students would just loose their education just worst then most do at school.
Another reason, students get in trouble entirely to much. Imagine having them not in a classroom learning, but instead not taking control for themselves and messing around outside a school on a daily. Could break laws like speeding through traffic, being a daredevil doing things that could get them in jail and loosing their chance to graduate on time. Having them home isnt a good idea and doesnt help them. Some student need to be taught directly to them or just in a classroom. It is known that when taking a test, quiz or classwork another teacher takes kids out of the classroom to another class that needs to helped direct or read to them.
Finally, students wont have good experience with people if they decide to go to college. Individuals wont know how to interact with other students and could be teachers too. A student does to college and is in a big class that has 200 other students in it and that has to present a project. Being home in the pasted years is disturbing to their work ethic and other students is peer pressuring them and rushing them, but their so afraid to go on with their project. College is an experience where you have to communicate with people. Wanting to be in clubs, sports you cant communicate because you were at home and not in a classroom doing work preparing you for the real world.

70BDFAE53B55,"The first reason is because i probabably less challenging to the people the vote reguraly because they can do i on their opinion and nobody elses. This is because how the votes are scored normally is how the people voed and how many they each have this type of voting process works where they have their opinion on what each person thinks instead of just voting. As you can see using this type of voting is a lot easier for people so it not as is as just putting and vote you can use your opinionss as well as voting.
The Second source states that how and why is the Electoral College the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong. This is probably because of how much they want this system to work instead of all different types of votes they can just have it all as one as a whole which would make it a whole lot easier on all the people that do vote. Then when they do vote they know how to express why they are voting and how they are voting to see how much easier it i to vote this way.

Some poeple think the Face is hard core evidence of life on mars. Meanwile, defenders of the NASA budget wish there was an ancient civilization on Mars.
The face on mars is a natural landform. Mars has powerfull winds just like we do on earth which if the dirt gets built up on rocks it can cause a face looking shape. The face is just a maountain with craters up at the top which makes it look somewhat like a human face. Mission controllers prepared to look again. ""It's not easy to target Cydonia,"" says Garvin.

But not everyone was satisfied. The Face on Mars is located at 41 degrees norht martian latitude where it was winter in April '98- a cloudy time of year on the red planet. The camera on board MGS had to peer through wispy clouds to see the Face. Perhaps, said skeptics, alien markings were hidden by haze.

B3D863372D3A,"Since Henry Ford made the first Model T, people have been obsessed with the idea of transportation. This idea has evolved into many things between then and now. We now have entire sports dedicated to cars and motorcycles, cars powered by alternate energy sources, and many other novel concepts that have taken the world by storm. However, there are many potential advantages of limiting your use of our precious automobiles.
One of the first reasons that you should reduce your usage of cars is found all around us, in the environment. Some statistics of the current amount of damage we cause by using our cars like we do include that fact that passenger cars are responsibel for twelve percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe and up to fifty percent in some areas of the United States. Imagine if we could reduce those numbers? David Goldberg, and official of Transportation for America (a fast-growing coalition of hundreds of groups in the United states), said ""How much you drive is as important as whether you drive a hybrid."" There are some places that are taking this concept to heart. One example of this is in Bogota, Columbia, where on certain days every year, a Day Without Cars in the captial city leaves only buses and taxis with permission to be on the roads. Despite the rain on the third time the event took place, the turnout was still great. There were even other cities, Cali and Valledupar, that took part in the fun. Municipal authorities from other countries came to Bogota to see the event and were enthusiastic about what they saw. The country of Colombia has made a concious effort to reduce their carbon footprint since the mid-1990s. Bogota has seen the construction of 118 miles of bicicyle paths as well as parks and sports centers have also cropped up. This also in turn resulted in an improved economy as new restaurants and upscale shopping distrcits have cropped up. The current President of the United States, Barack Obama, has also recently unveiled ambitious goals to curb the US's greenhouse gas emmisions. Wouldn't it be great if we could all help the environment out by reducing our usage of cars?
How great would it be, if at the same time as leanding the earth a helping hand, you were able to improve your own happiness? In Vauban, Germany and several other places globally, this has already begun to take effect. The people of this city are part of the ""Smart Planning"" movement. This experimental community on the outskirts of Freiburg, near the French and Swiss borders, is taking reducing autombile usage to a whole new level. Seventy percent of Vauban's families simply do not own a car. Heidrun Walter, a media trainer and a mother of two living in Vauban, said ""When I had a car, I was always tense. I'm much happier this way,"" as she walked the verdant streetes where the swish of bicycles and the chatter of wandering people drown out an occasional distant motor. The ""Smart Planning"" movement isn't just restricted to this place though. It is merely an example of a growing trend in Europe, the United States, and elsewhere to separate suburban life from auto use. In Bogota, businessman Carlos Arturo Plaza said as he rode a two-seat bicycle with his wife, ""It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution,"" on a Day Without Cars. Some may still say though, ""How if by giving up my car, will I be happier? I will have to find some other transportation mean and potentially have to wake up much earlier than I already to get everywhere. That seems more stressful to me."" However, due to the recession in the US, many people are having to do adapt this type of lifestyle out of necessity. Many can't afford new vechiles but still must get to work somehow. Even after the recession ends, many sociologists believe that many will not return their previous way of life.
Finally, there are already many plans in place to reduce automobile usage. At the
Mobile World Congress in 2012 in Barcelona, Spain, Bill Ford, executive chairman of the Ford Motor Company, laid out a business plan that shows how impractical or undesireable it will be for many to own a vehicle. He also proposed partnering with the telecommunications industry to create ciries in which ""pedestrian, bicycle, private cars, commercial and public transportation traffic are woven into a connected network to save time, conserve resources, lower emissions, and improve safety."" The Environment Protection Agency as well as legislators are promoting the reduced use of personal vehicles by working to induct a new six-year federal transportation bill, rather than previous ones that have devoted about eighty percent of the appropriations have gone to highway improvements and the remaining twenty percent to other transport.
To wrap everything up, there are many reasons that everyone should try to reduce automobile use. For one, it will help the environment, it will increase general happiness, and finally, that there are plans that are already in place to make it more feasable for people to adopt this new lifestyle. Whether we will see a drastic change or not, we will not know until we try. But that all starts, with you.

People have long dreamed of cars that drive themselvs, but most people dont know that google has had them sence 2009. Those cars arent compleatly independent, they need a persion to control them, or rather ""help"" them, like on high trafic areas, or around crashes. there are many advantiges and disadvantiges to the automatic car, but should we have them? Well, there are many reasions we should.
Its no surprize that every single car is as save as phisicly posable. At google, there cars have drove half a million miles without a crash. thats because every car is compleatly loaded with sencers to keep that from happening, let alone the persion in control of the car. another amazing feature this car has is that you can not use the automatic drive without both hands on the wheel, so the driver must pay atenton. That also makes it imposable for texting at the wheel.
Its no secret that aoutmatic cars are the future, with its advanced safty features and its convenence. All this car really needs is suport.

38A2C791ECDD,"Some of us couldn't imagine going to work without a car. Well in some parts of the world, they are completely getting rid of cars. There are many advantages of not using cars all that much, some like, there would be a lot less smog and polluted air. People's moods may change, and there are plenty of other ways of transportation.
To start off, Paris has had near record pollution. There has been times of five day intensifying smog. The smog rivaled Beijing, China, which is known to be one of the most polluted cities in the world. Just imagine what that is doing to our ozone layer. Cold nights and warm days caused the warmer layer of air to trap car emissions. So if we stopped using cars for a while, maybe the smog around the world would start to clear up, and maybe if we stopped using cars for even longer we would be completely smog-less.
Secondly, people would probably start to be in a better mood and feel happier. Driving a car can be stressful and even sometimes intense. Heidrun Walter says ""When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way. She walks the streets of Vauban. The chatter of wandering children drown out the occasional sound of a distant motor.
Lastly, there are so many different ways to get from place to place. In some Colombian cities they have replaced pitted sidewalks so people can ride their bikes instead of drive. In Bogota in the mid-1990s they began to make bike paths, to this day it has seen the construction of 118 miles of bicycle pathways. In New York there is a new bike sharing program that is skyrocketing. People needing to get to work can walk or take public transportation, they can even car-pool with a friend or another family member.
To conclude, laying off the use of cars could be a pretty good change to our environment, to us, and to other people and even our health. Walking, riding a bicycle and riding on public transportation is woven into a connected network to save time, conserve our resources, lower the toxic emissions to the air, and to improve our safety and the worlds safety.

50D262EA8ADB,"In ""Making Mona Lisa Smile"", the use of Facial Action Coding System technology to read the emotions of students ina classroom is valuable.
This is shown through the author's description of the benefits of being able to read expressions of students, as well as the increased understanding of emotions that can be uncovered due to this technology.
Recently, Prof. Thomas Huang and his colleague have developed ways for computers to better communicate with humans through a program designed to calculate noverbal human emotions.
This technology has proved able to recognize expressions of humans, and so has expanded the frontiers of human communication with technology.
In particular, this advancement could provide benefits in the education system.
The reading of expressions in studnets would prove beneficial to the educational process of understanding what content best suits a student's learning ability.
Dr. Huang predicts, ""A class Room computer could recognize when a studnet is becoming confused or bored... Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor"" (D'Alto 6).
This shows how the technology would allow a computer to effectively ""recognize"" a students emotions, and correlate or ""modify"" the corresponding lesson to better fit his or her learning.
It would provide an ""effective"" tool for intructors to be able to better understand what their student needs in order to succeed.
Expressions or feelings such as ""confusion"" or being ""bored"" would allow teachers to better invest time and effort in teaching topics that best fit with these emotions, and so it would help make teaching easier in response to the needs of students.
The technology would also continue to increase knowledge of human emotions through interpretation of the many expressions such as nonverbal communication.
In turn this would help with the education of students, as an increased understanding of human feelings would allow the system to acknowledge issues or needs that specific students have.
Being able to match their emotional abilities with the best subject for them to succeed in would be an option.
This would provide teachers with a system that best maximizes potential and limits issues in the classroom that involve expression or emotion.
D'Alto writes, ""Eckman has classified six basic emotions - happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness - and then associated each with characteristic movements of the facial muscles"" (D'Alto 3).
From this we can see that if implemented, this technology could help identify primary human emotions such as ""happiness"" or ""anger"".
This would allow computers to identify ""characteristic movements"" and translate this into emotion.
With this technology at our disposal, we can better understand how people in general portray their feelings through the anatomy of their face, and better understand the identity of these emotions in the physical aspects of expression.
This understanding would in turn allow students and teachers to better understand their emotions, and so best match their tendencies to educational programs or classes.
Continuing with the idea of better understanding emotions in the technology would also prevent issues relating to student behavior such as academic honesty or problems with stress or anger, as understanding the emotional expression conveyed by students would help implement systems to better prevent these unwanted actions.
For instance, the author writes, ""But in a false smile, the mouth is stretched sideways using the zygomatic major and a different muscle... To an expert, faces don't lie; these muscle clues are sometimes used to spot when a ""smiling"" politician or celebrity isn't being truthful"" (D'Alto 8).
This is an example of the increased benefits of this technology, and particularly pertaining to education, it can be used to detect whether students are being honest or ""truthful"" through their expressions.
Although it is not guaranteed, the technology would still provide another option in understanding what studnets feel or what they are truly going through.
It would allow schools or instructors to change their teaching or development programs in order to relieve studnets of unwanted emotion, and it would also help benefit the disciplinary system, as being able to detect true emotions could help distinguish one issue from another.
Overall and in conclusion, a better understanding of human expression by technology provides an improved tool for instructors to help with the learning and development of students, as this allows them to fit learners' studying emotional tendencies with that of the best option or way of teaching.",,698,Facial action coding system,Text dependent,"In the article ""Making Mona Lisa Smile,"" the author describes how a new technology called the Facial Action Coding System enables computers to identify human emotions.

1E9381C4D69A,"Imagine a world where there is no traffic or loud motor from cars passing by. Think of all the benefits that would come with less or even no cars on the road. Well in the city of VAUBAN, Germany they have almost completely knock out all the cars in the city. The city has car-free streets allowing more flow of commuters on bikes and walking. 70 percent of the families have no car with 57 percent that sold their car just to move there. Heidrun Walter feels much less tense now then when she owned a car. However some may ask ""How do you get all you produce or go shopping?"". Well VAUBAN is one step ahead because all the stores are within walking distance, rather then travling down highways crowded with daily commuters, and there are some public transport still make there way around town, such as the city's tram. One major problem with cars is the emmisions they let out. Now in cities like VAUBAN where there would be at most two cars on the same road, it's more of a minor porblem. But in cities like New York, where the streets are crowded with cars, it begins to cause many problems. The emmisons are known as greenhouse gas and can often choke a cities population. Now in a city like Paris how would people limit smog, and car emmisions. They chose to limit the cars, causing the separation of commuters driving days by license plate numbers being even or odd. They enforce this limit with a fine of 22 euro. Of course this took a little getting use to since it came so suddenly causing four thousand driver to be fined and 27 had their cars impounded simply becase they didn't like the fine. Now most people were probaly not to happy to be getting fined, however the statistic showed that the limit was working and traffic that was down 60 percent. However it wasn't completely the commuter fault, since france had a tax policy for gasoline many people prefered to use diesel which was about 67 percent of the vehicles. Even though most of the traffic was down by 60 percent, Paris still has more pm then most erupean capital such as Brussel's 114. In BOGOTA,Colombia they took the idea of a car free city with a different approach. Instead of outright, banning cars or placing limits on days certain people can dirve, they instead banned all cars for a day excluding buses and taxis. However instead of outrage by the public many of the colombians just walked, biked or took some form of public transport. Since the begining of the project in the mid 90s over 110 miles of bike paths have been cvonstructed within the city. Another benefit is the uprise in sports and park areas, restaurants and shopping districts, since people have more time to see things they like or want. Now most of this eassy is about orther cities in different contries, but what about us, the USA. Obama has revealed his plans to lower the greenhouse gas emissions. But it seems the people have already thought ahead as statistic show less cars licenses and driving over the years. Some say it was due to to the recsession since many people were to poor to afford a car or just didnt need one since the didin't work. Mr. Sivak's reasearch has proved that getyting a car is no lopnger a proirity but instead something you get if you have moeny. He states. Mine 19 and 21 have not bother to get a driver's license, even though they both live in places where it would come in handy."" Even statistic show the between 2001 and 2009 young driver population has dropped 23 percent. The cars we use today are slowly edging their way out of our daily lives, and with the help of some laws, limits or outright bans cars will soon become a thing of the past.

First reason why I think we should use technology like this is because it says that, ""even though individuals often shwo varying degrees of expression like not smiling as broadly."" This means that if we start using this type of technology we can figure out if a person is good or bad. Another reason why we should use this technology is because it says, ""Of course, most of us would have trouble actually describing each facial trait taht conveys happy, worried, etc."" This could mean that even if you might know what they feel you could most possilbe be wrong because if they look happy that does not mean they are actually happy they could be sad in the inside of their body.

After that all the information of the list will be send to the Ntional Archives as part of an official records of the presidential election of that year. So in conclusion I belive that the Electoral College should be abolish for an option, because it causes many problems and those problems lead to confusion and arguments that will make look bad the US goverment.
The Electorla College system give no the votes for the candidate of the election, but to the electors that they will choose who the new president would be. The electors could be anyone in sates convections, in states party's central committee, or sometimes the presidential candidate would choose their electors. So to give more infromatiohn to my concerning, the single best argument against the Electoral College is the disaster factor. in the 2000 fiascop was the biggest election ciris in the century. Consider that the state legislature are responsible for picking the electors, and those elector could decide what to choose. Electors sometimes have refuse to vote for their candidate or party's candidate, and choose whoever they like. It happen whe Vice President Richard Nixonvalidate only his oponet's electors. MOost of the time they fear of a presidential tie, so that it would be throw to the House of Represntatives ,each vote from there it represent 500,000 voters. So the election is only away from catastrophe and problmes to the candidates, the electors and the House of Representatives. So to many the Electoral College is unfair to the voters, because od the system ''winer-takes-all.''...
Many candidates know they are not going to wim, so ther prefer to not make their capaing in the media or around the city, many people even have never see them. So the information gives the conclusion that the Electoral College is unfair, out of date, and to irrational. The best conclusion to these current problem is to abolish the outdate Electoral College.
So if you tink not to abolish the current system, the Electoral College gives an anachosim, a non-democratic method of selecting a president. Each party selects a candidate that their trust and want no nominee. There are five reason for retaining the Electoral College, but also it lacks of democratic issues , and not liberal or conservatives reasons. Firts, a certany of outcome ,
a dispute over outcome over the Electoral College vote .
by giving the electoral vote ti gives more oportunities to a candidate to win in popular vote. The slight plurality crates and oportunitie to the candiate to have a abetter outcome.
Second , the Electoral College needs a presidential candidate. So a solid favorite candidate give oportunity to him. Third the winner-takes-all method give even more better oportunites to the candidates as they get all. Fourth the bigger the satte the better chances are to win the presidential election, a victory of a bigger produce chances to get more electoral votes that boost the numbers. So finally in fifht the Electoral College avoid problems of elections in which candidates received a majority of votes. So in the finally conclusion you can infer that the Electoral College have problems but also got good parts.
In the end people may think is good or bad,but if you see its ups and downs it have betters good tyhings but still it gives arandom outcome to one of the candidates it could be the favorite or the competition. So is better if the Electoral College is abolish for tis ramsom outcomes.

5AAE43F07F55,"Have you had to make a really hard choice, and you keep second guessing yourself? Well, everyone feels like this at some point in their life. It's just if you want other people's opinion in your decision. There are many positives in other opinions other than yours. You should listen to them.
One opinion is not good when you want to make a good choice. Multiple opinions can help you find out what you really want to do, to make it a good choice. Here is an example, you are picking your classes for next year and it's a big year too, 9th grade. You are struggling to pick your last elective, you ask your family what to do. They tell you to do what you like. The next day you go to school and you ask all of your friends. They tell you to do what you love, band. So you go home and think about it, and come to the conclusion that you do love band so you go ahead and pick that as your elective. For this example you can clearly see that when you ask multiple people about what you should do, They tell you their honest opinion and it helps you figure out what you want to do.
Why is asking more than one person good? There are many reasons why it is good to ask more than just one person if you are wanting them to help you make a hard choice. One of them is, it opens your thought process, so if you are thinking a little bias on something. They can make you think about the other side of the problem. Another positive of have more than one opinion is, in the end result you will be happy. Even if it is not what you had expected, you will still be happy.
Some people dont talk to others when they feel a certain way. So lets say that your friend had her heart broken by someone, and you are have trouble with your relationship too. You go to them for help, and when you ask they give you all of their personal experience. To them it feels really good to open up to everything that had happened to them, and at the same time they are helping you. Sometimes you are helping a lot more than you think, not just for yourself but that friend.

86D79F272847,"In discussions about whether summer projects should be student-designed or teacher-designed, one must first define the two terms. On the one hand, student-designed projects are defined as projects designed by the students. On the other hand, teacher-designed projects are defined as projects designed by the teachers. Although summer projects that are student-designed can be beneficial to the students, the advantages of teacher-designed projects outweigh the advantages of student-designed projects. Therefore, summer projects should be teacher-designed.
Student-designed projects can be beneficial to the students, but the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. An advantage of student-designed projects is that the student will be more creative with their project, because it is designed by themselves. Therefore, students are more likely to complete the assignment. A disadvantage of student-designed projects is that the student will take advantage of the student-designed project and make it easier for themselves. The students will not challenge themselves, which will cause them to work less when they could be working harder. Consequently, the students will not learn over the summer. For example, if I was given a project over the summer that is student-designed I will most likely make it is easier for myself. Since it is summer break I would not want to do any type of difficult school work. Another disadvantage is that the students may not design a project that has to do with what they are supposed to be learning about. The students could easily go off topic. For example, if I were to be doing a summer project that is student-designed about history, which I should be learning about during summer break, I could easily go off topic and turn the history project into a science project. Therefore, summer projects should not be student-designed projects.
Teacher-designed projects are very beneficial to the students. The advantages of teacher-designed projects outweigh the disadvantages. An advantage of teacher-designed projects is that the teacher will challenge the students which will cause the students to work harder. The students will actually learn from the teacher-designed project since it is designed by the teacher. Another advantage of teacher-designed projects are that the teachers will design the right work for the students. The students will not go off topic since the teacher already has instructions for the students. A disadvantage of teacher designed-projects could be that students would probably not complete the assignment possibly because it could be difficult for the students to complete. The teachers may possibly make it difficult so the students could challenge themselves which is a good thing. Therefore, summer projects should be teacher-designed.
In conclusion, the advantages of teacher-designed projects outweigh the advantages of student-designed projects. Schools should require students to complete projects that are teacher-designed so that it will assure that the students will continue to learn during their long summer break.

7903205CD088,"Dear TEACHER_NAME,
I think that having cell phones at lunch periods and at other free times such as locker break would be better in ways students could communicate with other class mates with work needed to be done and needs help reviewing, but having cell phones at school could tempt other students to text or call their parents to pick them up for early dismissal or a feign sickness.
Having cell phones at school would be crucial to school functioning because students would abuse the rule and do unneeded things at school such as ""sexting"" sending hurtful messages through other people to start a rumor.
Some people might get in fights and grades would probably decrease because people would be obsessed with texting.
In a worst case scenario the school could get sued by a student getting a white slip, detention, ISS, suspended, or expelled and disagree about doing the wrong thing they did or if they where given it through ""hard feelings"" between a teacher and a student.

62A5873FD2BC,"Throughout a students educational experience, they have the 3 month break at the end of each year that allows them to have time off and have a break from the intense rigor of school. Although, the break can better be purposed by having assignments to further their knowledge during this time period. These projects can best be designed as student led so that students can have more creativity and imagination towards the project, specialize one topic based on future educational interest, and ensures that students have the resources they need to complete the assignment.
From Kindergarten through grade 12, each student is given a curriculum to follow and learn for a standardized test at the end of the year; student led summer projects would allow for a broader outlook on their schooling education and explore topics that would not be looked at otherwise. A student who only learns about their immediate community and ecosystem can gain a broader perspective on society after completing a summer project about an ecosystem in another region of the world. The additional thought and imagination put into a project like this would be hard to complete in an organized project created by a teacher. Furthermore, students commonly bored during one project that a large group of students have to complete. The rules and rubric which have to be followed deprive the students of exploration and investigation which is crucial for a successful education. Allowing for students to find their choice of exploration and then present it in a unique way brings a complex ideology about interesting topics. Not only is the content of student led projects productive, but so is the way of deriving that information. Commonly, classrooms follow a strict set of rules to ensure each students safety, but those rules come with a cost. The rules cause students to think in one way, act in one way, and test in one specific way. A summer project which gives students space to compete based on their creativity allows them to break out of those boundaries and complete what they want to complete.
A students future college path can also be benefited by student based summer projects due to the option of focusing on their desired topic. As students age into their final years of high school, many already know the path they want to take in college and ultimately their occupations. Giving students an option to focus and research on these topics will not only allow them to understand more about the topic but also build their application to give them a better chance at getting into respected schools. A student who wants to explore the medical pathway might use the summer project as a chance to see what the field is about. That student might shadow surgeons or pediatricians and then analyze and report their findings. The alternate option of teacher led student projects would not allow for this type of unique opportunity. Using the report of their findings, a student can better apply for prestigious college opportunities, scholarships and programs through their past experience that gives them a step up from their competing applicants.
Lastly, the guidelines given to the entirety of the public schooling system leaves students in lower socioeconomic situations to not be able to complete certain projects. The student led project system allows students to find a topic that is accessible for them rather than one that has a large demand for expensive purchases. Certain projects specifically in the science department, require an excessive amount of resources making them hard to obtain out of the school setting. If the teacher led projects would require students to purchase these goods, difficulties would arise in regards to the ability for all students to have access and an abundance of these items. Although supplies may be given through the schooling system, a work space might be difficult to obtain as well. Choosing a project that not only gains the students interest but also allows them to complete it with ease displays the benefits of student led projects.
Projects that can be completed during the summer should be led by the students desires and aspirations as it will gain allow for the most success of the student. Student led projects show most effective through the ability for students to use their imagination, research a topic they might study in college, and complete the work productively and efficiently.",,728,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

Therefore I agree that students should engage in extracurricular activities because it teaches then responsibility, time management, and it is fun and benifitail to do.
First off doing something other than just school can teach kids responsibility and time management.
Doing a sport for example. To do this you would be completing school work and the sports work,so you would have to be able to complete school work on time then focus on the sport you're playing. The way to do all of that is to manage your time with school and activities to do all of your school work and keep your grades up. Doing a extra activity requires responsabilliy and dedicating time.
Secondly extracurricular can be fun and healthy for kids. You never know what doors will open for you by taking a chance. By playing a sport could take you in to a profetinal league. By joining school council could take you in to politics. You just never know what opportunities will come your way by doing something new. finding opportunities can be fun and uplifting. over all doing a extracurricular make you a more well rounded person.

E353EF820872,"As technological advancements increase, it is becoming easier for people to work and complete daily tasks from home. Whether it be joining a video conference or ordering groceries to one's front door, people do not need to leave their house nearly as often as they had in the past. Not only does this affect adults, but can also affect students trying to learn. Many schools give the option to allow students to learn from the comfort of their own home; however, learning from home is not nearly as useful as learning in school. Students with the ability to attend classes at a school would not benefit from attending classes from home because of the interactions made with real people.
Students can develop important social skills when at school. There are some skills that people cannot learn by someone teaching them. The only way to get or practice these skills is to learn from experience. This means one needs to be put in a situation where this skill is useful and try their best to learn from the experience. Learning to be social and to interact with others are some of these skills. The perfect place to practice these important skills is at school, where one is constantly surrounded by their peers. While at school, students are constantly put in situations that force them to interact with other students. Skills like these can be useful in future jobs and in a multitude of different situations in life. If students did not have to attend school to take classes, then they could grow up completely lacking these crucial skills. In order to prevent this anti-social future, students should go to school to take classes, where they benefit more.
Additionally, students learn more by directly interacting with teachers. Teachers are crucial assets to the future of the entire world. In order to continue advance society in many different ways, teachers are needed to educate children, teens, and young adults. To allow students to grow and develop in the best way possible, students need to have close and meaningful interactions with their teachers. Online or on a video call, students do not learn in the same beneficial way that students do in school. They do not receive the important interactions with their teachers. This leads to a lack of truly understanding and learning the material being taught. The only way to obtain this understanding is for students to have meaningful interaction with their educator. In all, students benefit far more from being educated in a school because they directly work and interact with their teacher.
It is important that some students, ones with disabilities or restrictions making it difficult to attend school, have access to classes from their homes. It is not fair for those who struggle to get from class to class or those who cannot get themselves to school to lose out on their educational opportunity our country gives them. In order to achieve true equity, it is only right that these students are given special exceptions. Even though learning online is not as beneficial to students as learning in person, for students that cannot go to school, a slightly limited education is much better than no education at all. However, this does not mean everyone should be able to learn at home, online, if they do not like going to school. Special circumstances should be made for those who need it, as allowing everyone to have an education is vital.
Everywhere around the globe, students should not take the opportunity of learning at a school for granted. Children, teens, and young adults truly benefit from interacting with their classmates and teachers. Even though online classes are very important, especially to those who cannot get to school everyday, what is learned in an actual school is far more significant for growing students. Now, the advancement in technology, like leaning online, is extremely useful for almost everybody on this planet, but humans cannot forget how to be social and how to interact with each other in real life.

4AB030046F42,"What do you do on your free time? Many students are involved in extracurricular activities such as sports, working on school yearbooks, or helping out as the student council. I think extracurricular activities is something that students should participate in because it would help students to balance their time, they would aslo stay active, and it can help students to get into collage.
One reason why I think students should participate in extracurricular activity is because they would learn to balance their time. With school work, family plains, and extracurricular activities in mind students are forced to balance them all. For example, when I was in elementary school I didn't have to worry about balancing my time because I didn't have much going on. Now that I'm in middle school with a lot on my plate, I have to make a schedule to balance things out. With extracurricular activities it would help students to practice balancing their time now, so that it would be easier as they get older.
The next reason why students should involve themselves in extracurricular activities is because it would keep them active. When students have a lot of time in their hands they tend to feel bored, so they procrastinate. For example, when my friends and I have a lot of time we tend to not use it productively, but wast it instead. This causes us to loose track of time. So by participating in extracurricular activities, students would be busy.
The last reason why I think extracurricular activity is something students should be involved in is because it would help them to get into college. Now a-days colleges not only look at grades when accepting students, but they also look at activities they did outside of school. With extracurricular activities on their college application, students are more likely to get accepted to a college compared to when they don't. For instance, a boy who graduated at the top of his class applied for his dream college. On the other hand, a girl who was also at the top of her class was applying for the same college. The college looked at both students' college applications and accepted the girl. The school accepted the girl because she was able to keep her grades up while participating in extracurricular activities.
In conclusion, I think students should participate in extracurricular activity because it would help them to balance their time, it would keep them active, and it would help them to get into college. Although, some people would disagree for reasons such as it would be too much things to think about, or that it would be tiring I still strongly encourage them to at least try one extracurricular activity.",,447,Mandatory extracurricular activities,Independent,"Your principal has decided that all students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity.

1D917FDFADF7,"In ""The Challenge of Exploring Venus' The auther says that stdying Venus is a worthy persuit despite all the dangers because it is Earth's ""twin"". Venus is the planet next to Earth and sometimes it is the closest to Earth. Mars, Venus, and Earth all orbut the sun at different speeds so there are times when Mars is closer to Earth and other times when Venus is closer. Venus is similar in size and density to Earth.
There are signs that show there once was life on Venus. These include features of rocky sediment such as valleys, mountains, and craters. Our nearest option for a planetary visit is Venus because of all of its features. The atmosphere of Venus is different than ours because it is very hot. If scientists want to be able to visit Venus they would have to hover about 30 miles over the surface to avoid the dangers of the ground. The air pressure is close to the sea level of Earth, it is not easy conditions but it is survivable. The atmosphere is so dense so the forms of light are limited.
So in conclusion, studying Venus is dangerous but a good idea. Venus has many characteristics of Earth and shows clues that there was once life on Venus. There's also dangers to studying Venus because the atmosphere is different than Earth and not what we are used to. I think we should continue to study Venus considering the similarites to Earth.

5054EC6BA14D,"In this essay im going to give you my opinion about the electoral college. My first reason is i dont think a few 100 people should pickk the president, i think the entire nation should pick the president. secondly we dont even get the chance to vote for a president we get to vote for a slate of electors. ur votes might not count. Those are my reasons.
I dont think a few 100 random citizens should pick the president, i think the people should beccause what if the entire nation votes for one person but, the few 100 people vote for someone else. With only a few hundred electors a rich person could bribe them into choosing who they wanted and it could be someone who got no votes. It is unfair this country has 100s of millions of people and to leave it up to 370 people is proposterus.
Secondly we dont get to vote for the president and the electoral college says oh well they voted for him so lets pick him, no we vote for slate of electors who vote for whoever the they feel like and sometimes there random people.
Thirdly you votes dont count lets just say u live in texas and wanted to vote for for john kerry youd vote for a slate of 34 democratic electors pledged to kerry. On the off chance that those electors won the state wide election,they would go to congress and kerry would get 34 electoral votes. Who are the electors? They can be anyone not holding public office.

To begin with, playing a sport is a good way to be more energetic. Playing a sport can help students exercise. Students might do some warm up games, do some work outs or they can practice at home with their families. Playing a sport can also help students get healthier. Students get more energetic, eat healthy food, and get in good shape. Playing a sport can help students do better things. They could run faster, get stronger, and it can help them do better in class
On the other hand, playing a sport is bad for some students. Students might get sick for being outside. If is winter and students are playing outside all day they might get sick from the cold or if is spring they might get sick from pollution. Some students might get injured. Students might break their arms or legs for playing with others students that are bigger than them. Some students might not be good at sports. Students might suck at soccer, football, or basketball and they won't play.
Even though playing a sport is bad for some students, they can still play. Even though students get sick they can still play. If some students get sick they can get medicine and go back to play.

C9C6D699BCEA,"Dear Mr. Senator,
It has come to my, as well as many other's attention, that the presidential election is something that could potentially have disasterous outcomes. You, and many polititions like yourself, have been using a system called the Electoral College that people such as Richard Nixon, Bob Dole, and Jimmy Carter have been suggesting to demolish for years now. Personally, I find it quite alarming that although this process has been with us for all of this time, we have found the flaws yet still continue to take the risks. This is not simply about picking a president anymore, this is about the freedom of America.
All in all, the Electoral College at face value seems like a good idea for choosing a winner. It seems to make sense that we would choose electors who the president trusts that would elect him president, but when you think about it, something feels rather off. First of all, the general public places their ballots in the appropriate box believing that they are voting for their ideal candidates. In reality, however, they are voting for their electors instead. Most people who vote are unaware of this factor, and the lack of information pertaining to it is unsettling. Not only that, but the electors are not chosen by the people. Does this not contridict ""By the people, for the people?"" Where exactly do these people fit in?
Furthermore, the electors cannot always be trusted with voting for their respective candidates. This is something referred to as the disaster factor. While most who are picked by the candidate themself are trustworthy, electors are people who are not in office, therefore may not be as trusting. Electors are an uncertain factor and in some complex cases, even two slates for electors can be sent which could create a hectic mess. If you are going to vote for a president who you wish to win, and your vote goes to an elector that won't come through, it takes all of the power away from the people and places it right back into the state's hands.
Another thing to consider when pondering the validity of this process is the potential of a tie with electoral voting. In this case, the election would be in the power of the House of Representatives, and the representatives from each state would decide the winner. We have had many opportunities for a tie during the elections, one even being the difference of 5,559 in Ohio and 3,687 in Hawaii. The problem with this is the loss of power within the nation. Once again, the people will no longer have a say in the voting and the energy it took them to decide on a candidate and go out to vote will be for virtually nothing. The people will no longer be represented. If something like this were to happen to our country, surely people from every state would be outraged.
Now, you may be thinking to yourself, why should I be worried? Sure, it is unlikely to get a tie in the electoral votes. However, something as huge as deciding the leader of this country should not have even a single flaw in it. Horrible and unexpected things happen everyday, why couldn't we get a tie as well? Now, the main problem with getting rid of the Electoral College is the possibility of run-off elections. In defense of this, the Electoral College is the main reason that we have run-off elections in the first place. It prevents people in certain areas from voting because they feel as if they will have no say in the final result. Even if people still voted for the fun of it, it was only because of chance or political preference. With an election by popular vote, the chances of a run-off election would be significantly lower as people would realize the power they had in deciding it.
As you finish reading this, I ask you to consider all of the points I have made. I am certain that choosing to elect by popular vote would have more benefits than sticking to the old and flawed plan, the Electoral College. Endless proof points to the conclusion that this theory is correct, as the process of picking electors to elect the president is redundant and confusing. Finally, with all of the things that could go wrong, using a new system would be one step forward in making our nation even greater.

1EDE60604F6F,"Phones and Driving
Should phones be acceptable to use cell phones in any capacity while operating a vehicle? Today, we will basically cover why people should be able to drive and use their cell phones. Nowadays, with all the technology some cars are capable to drive on their own. Tesla would be a company that has started this whole new thing called autopilot.
Autopilot is an advanced driver assistance system which has lane centering, adaptive cruise control, self-parking, the ability to automatically change lanes, and the ability to summon the car to and from a garage or parking spot. If you were to have that feature the car basically drives itself with asking you every 30 seconds to 2 minutes to grab the steering wheel and move it side to side just a little. Tesla has also announced sometime in 2020 that the car will be able to detect stop signs, cross-walks, stop lights, etc,. Which means the car is fully capable to drive itself anywhere you put the navigation to take you and you could fall asleep to your destination.
In addition, the Tesla model 3 has been tested and said to be one of the safest cars in the world with many of its safety features in the cars system. So if you're capable of purchasing the car then I think you should be able to use the phone while driving sense the vehicle is driving to begin with. But if you can not purchase the vehicle I think you should be able to use the navigation system on the phone and have it set up to where it's not dangerous to look of the road for a second as if you were checking how fast your going. Most people can not afford that car and they drive older models of cars which don't have all the new technology in their car and all the extra luxury.
In other words, phones should be allowed for some people to use while driving, while others can not. It really can not be unfair because if it was really important for them to use the phone while driving they might think I should work harder in life to be able to do all their things while driving. So people should and should not be allowed to use their cell phones while driving. ",,390,Phones and driving,Independent,"Today the majority of humans own and operate cell phones on a daily basis.

7BE3FAF66A0C,"Dear state senator,
I think we should end the Electoral college because it is not fair to each american. It's not fair because voters can't control who they pick, and the person they vote for end up losing the presidential election. Even though our founding fathers established this act it doesn't mean it benefits our country.
The electors are chosen by the candidate's democratic or republican's party. Some states has a ""winner-take-all"" process. When that process is over and the candidate win the presidential vote in that state, it then shows which electors will represent your state. Although this would seem like a good way to vote I disagree. It is unfair to everyone.
It would be a lot easier for every citizen to just make their own personal vote. For an example, back in 2000 Al Gore had way more popular voters than George W. Bush who had a higher number of voters due to the Electoral College process. I think every state should reconsider picking the electors because they always seem to defy us. Losing the Electoral College can also avoid any mishap in the future. What if there was a state that had equal number of votes? what would happen then?
It has been stated that over 60 percent of citizens would rather vote towards their candidate they select, rather than going through the process. congress should consider the thoughts and opinions that us voters have. If they wish to not do so the candidate with the popular votes could potentially lose presidency.
In conclusion to the eyes of the government it may seem like a proper way to vote, but to us it's unfair. You should abolish the Electoral College for good so we can elect the right candidate who deserves presidency. In order to get rid of this process we should take a single vote from every citizens.

088F2E69E2BB,"In this article, the author presents us with facts about what makes Venus dangerous, and why we should try to study it despite the danger that comes with it.

Safety is the number one priority in all scientific research, and I don't think this author provides enough reasons why studying Venus is worth the risk. Furthermore, when he does provide his reasons they are quickly proved wrong by himself in later paragraphs, which lowers his point immensly.
The author writes a lot about the challenges of going to Venus, and what makes Venus so dangerous. Yet, he barely provides any information on why it is important to go there. In paragraph 3 he writes, ""...such an environment would crush even a submarine accustumed to diving to the deepest parts of our oceans and would liquefy many metals."" He also writes about the extreme temperatures, 97% CO2 atmosphere, sulfuric acid clouds, and things like erupting volcanoes, earthquakes, and lightning strikes. All of these challenges and dangers in one paragraph, and not even one reason why we should face these challenges and go there. In the next paragraph he says, ""Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth."" He also go on to provide more information about how similar Venus is to our own planet, but still, no good reasons why we should spend money researching this planet. When you are talking about visiting a planet as dangerous as Venus, you need a lot of good reasons to go there. However, this author is lacking in his reasons, which makes him sound unprofessional.
Without providing a lot of research, it is hard to agree with what the author is saying. He does not do a great job of proving his point that Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. In paragraph 5 he writes, ""NASA's possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus would allow scientists to float above the fray. Imagine a blimp-like vehicle hovering 30 or so miles above the roiling Venusion landscape."" At first, this seems like a viable solution to the dangers of Venus, and sounds like a good way to safely research the planet more closely. However, it's quickly shot down and is identified as a less than desireable solution in the next paragraph by the author himself. He states facts about how we wouldn't be able to capture photographs from this distance through Venus's thick atmosphere. He also points out that we would not be able to retreive samples of rock, gas, or anything else from this distance. This is the only good possible solution to the dangers of Venus that the author has presented thus far, and he debunks the idea almost entirely in the very next paragraph. This is a terrible way to convince the readers of his opinion; that, despite the risks Venus presents, it is a worthy pursuit to study it.
In conclusion, the author presents more ideas that go against his point, than ideas that acually support it. He does a terrible job of supporting his ideas, and when he has a good point, he quickly proves to us himself that it is not a good idea at all.

The first claim is that a blimp-like ship could hover over the planet at a safe area to achieve more information anout the planet and atmosphere. The temperature would still be hot and crazy, but it would not be as hot as the surface of Venus is. Also the pressure would be safe and would not kill anyone like it would on the surface of Venus. But the only probelm with this idea is that the people can not get any physical samples of rock, gas, and any other material on Venus. They would only be able to observe from the ship that is hovering over the planet. This idea would work, but the information that we would get wouldn't be as helpful as acturally going onto Venus's surface
Another claim that the author gives that we could try is that, scientist have made simplified electronics made out of silicon carbide already that can survive up to 3 weeks in the conditions Venus has. Along with this is by looking back into older technologies and how strong and stable they are. And how we can incorperate this into ships and other things that could travel to Venus safely. This would work but it wouldn't last forever and would eventrally melt and or something would happen to the objects that are preasent. This idea would work up to a certain area and would give us only limited information that we could obtain.
The author is all for exploring Venus and that we should try harder and focus more on the exploration of Venus. The author does give some decent claims about how we could take it into action. But the claims he gives don't really show how we can get to Venus. The claims that the author has given in the reading are well but together, and they seem like they would work up to a certain extent. In the reading the author makes it seem that we should put all of our time into exploring Venus, and he gives many reasons why. And what information we would gain out of exploring Venus. The author gives many helpful ideas that would not be as dangerous as just going to the planet's surface. Overall the auhtor gives his support to the exploration of Venus, and his claims are very well towards that idea as well.
In all not just the author thinks that we should explore our sister planet Venus. There are many people that have thought of this idea and that we should work towards it. Venus is a very interesting planet and has many things that have yet been discovered about it. Overall the author fully supports that claim that we should further explore Venus for many reasons that would be successful to us and help our knowledge grow.
Venus is the only planet that could've looked like earth many years ago, and still has many similar features to this day with earth.

A247A5FCE34B,"dear principal:
i have noticed how you have changed the school policy. i respectively disagree with that. i understand that you expect good effort in class, but i just can not agree with your rule. a lot of great athletes have a c average, but if you wouldn't let them play, our teams wouldn't be as good until they got the grades up.
people should have the right to do what they want even if they have a c average. in my opinion, a c average is still passing and it is better than a d average. i think as long as they are passing they should be able to do what they want. if kids cant be in football and volleyball and etcetera then school classes would be more kayo tic. some of the athletes in our school are very active, but have a c average. if the school board didn't let them play, class disruptions would be at an all time high.
i am strongly against this new policy of the school. i would like the class disruptions to stay at a minimum. some athletes can be really distracting when they don't have the motivation keep them quiet. i, as a concerned student of the school would kindly ask not to enforce this school policy. to me only bad things can come from this. i strongly urge you to reconsider this new policy.

24AB166876CE,"It is pretty much guaranteed that a majority of people will be assigned a project in their lifetime.
Among those people, a good amount get assigned a summer project, in order to stay educated over the long summer vacation.
On most occasions, summer projects are designed by the teacher, who already has a set plan on what they want their students to learn.
There are many advantages to doing a summer project that way, but summer vacation is the best time for students to show their full potential and creativity, and design a project themselves.
Summer vacation is the peak of student creativity.
The mind is truly set free as students embark on different adventures of their own, like traveling.
These experiences could provide ideas, and influence the student on their project.
Not only traveling, but hanging out with friends or family could help influence a student's project.
Even though a project designed by the teacher is already planned out, it does not provide the student with a good chance to be creative. The amount of opportunities and fun to be had while on break could potentially be a playground for the student's mind, which then blossoms into pure creativity, ideas, and a very good summer project.
If students designed their own projects, there would be a large amount of difference and diversity among them, which is a great chance for students and teachers to learn more about each other.
An example a science fair.
Everyone studies something different, but you learn more about them and their topic.
The fact that each student is able to let their mind run wild and design something different from everyone else leads to new healthy learning experiences.
Although a teacher designing the project could benefit the teacher, like knowing what to look for, having students design the project is advantageous for students and teachers alike.
A student designed project is beneficial on the whole, and is a perfect learning experience.
Letting a student design their own project is truly letting them shine.
It is a chance for them to show off skill and interest.
If a student is allowed to choose their own topic or design the project the way they want, there is no doubt that they will excel.
For example, for a reading assignment, if you let a student choose their own book instead of one chosen for them, there is no doubt that they will finish it much faster.
A teacher could provide a very good topic and format, but if a student can pick for themselves, it will surely turn out good.
If they pick their own interests or their preferred format, they will make the most of their summer project.
Finally, a student-designed project is good for a students grade.
Letting their topics and formats be chosen and planned out by them will let them succeed tremendously.
Even though a teacher-designed project does make it easier and quicker to grade, there is a good chance a student would not be as interested, and the student would not do their absolute best.
Not only will it greatly help their grade, but they had full control and fun while making it.
Although teachers can plan out a very good project, a student-designed project is a perfect opportunity for all.
A student can show their creativity, skills, and interests.
A student can be different and learn more about others.
A student can get a better grade and have fun and complete freedom while doing it.
Truly, a student can put their full potential and full focus into an average summer project, and create a masterpiece.",,574,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

I understand that some people in this world do not care about our community at all, but it is very important to at least try to change it. Requiring students to do community service will make keep our community a clean and safe environment. Therefore, I believe that community service should be required for students at school not everyday, but at least maybe twice a week.
By doing this, you and everyone else who participates in this should be rewarded, but at the same time take responsibility to keep on making this place better for everybody. Some students may help with tutoring other students who needs help with schoolwork or something along the lines of that. Other people go around picking trash up of the ground and putting it where it belongs and trying their best to keep our environment clean.
Today, we still have people going around throwing trash on the grounds. I myself, have experienced people putting trash on the grounds and leaving it there. It hurts me because everyday I look at how much work people put into making schools, office buildings, restaurants, and etc. I hope that you have learned a lot from this and go along with requiring students to do community service no matter what it is they are doing.

Great strides have been made in the exploration of Mars. It is quite possible that within the next few years, astronauts will be visiting Mars and and studying the Red Planet in person. Such advances hve not been made in the exploration of Venus however. The environmental conditions of Venus have made it impossible for humans to make on the ground exploation of Venus a reality.
The third paragraph of the article gives a great host of reasons why we should not explore Venus. On the other hand, the reasons to visit Venus are, dare I say, lacking. The author points out the highly corrosive atmosphere, the extreme tempuratures, and the sky high pressure on the surface of Venus. They aslo point out that because of these difficult conditions, noone has ever been able to land even an unmanned spaceship on the planet without it being melted within a few hours.
The evidence to support going to Venus is average at best. The strongest argument given by the author is in paragraph 4 where they say, "" Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system."" This may be true, but I think the author has still given insufficient evidence for why it would be benificial to explore Venus. It may be possible in the future that new technologies allow us to explore Venus, but for now I think we should wait.
In closing, sometime in the forseeable future, it may be more possible and logical to visit Venus. In our current situation, I think it would be much more benefical to advance our technologies enough to where we can land on the surface and get a close look around.

66F80E57BA95,"Online classes will never be a permanent replacement for a physical learning environment. There's an ongoing debate over whether or not online classes are more beneficial to the student than a real classroom. Some may state that online attendance is more efficient because of a more comfortable environment, the ability to call from anywhere, and it provides easier academic access to those with disabilities, but this is not true. A physical classroom creates a better learning environment and prepares students for their future goals.
There are a variety of reasons why a physical presence is more efficient. Being in the company of other students helps to develop more reliable social skills. Others are more willing to socialize with another student in the same room rather than talking to a computer; therefor, creating beneficial friendships. There are also many social clubs and activities provided by the school to help open up new social groups and further develop personalities. Additionally, many schools tend to apply better support to those who attend face to face. For students who physically attend school, teachers can offer a more intimate teaching setting and provide one on one support for a specific question. Like the social clubs, schools also offer special programs dedicated to providing special support to those students with learning disabilities that may not be available online. Physical enrollment also supports better planning for attendees. School keeps students on a tight schedule, with multiple classes in any given day, forcing them to spend their time wisely. Peers may also support planning by checking in with other students' grades and projects.
There are further reasons why online learning is not as efficient. Physical attendance removes the unnecessary need for technology and the issues associated with it. While attending a class online students' computers may die causing as much as a whole lesson not to be heard. It is also naive to assume online classes can be attended anywhere in the world, as many places do not have public access to the internet. In addition, the student teacher relationship improves upon assignment efficiency and works best with face to face interaction. Students with a excellent relationship with their teachers are often provided more engaging and comprehensive lessons that encourage students to do their best. Teachers are also guided by the way the students learn whether it be physically, auditory or visually; in turn, improving the environment in which they're taught. Furthermore, working with peers enhances students codependency forcing them into new experiences. This prepares students for adulthood where they will have no choice in if they want to work with others or not. Group projects may also allow insight into peers perspectives of the given task or subjects of the world not provided by existing friends.
Real classrooms prepare students for the future by providing more efficient learning environments. This is the case due to the ability to build strong social skills, solidify planning, and create reliable relationships with others. Many state that online learning helps those with disabilities, provides a more comfortable environment, and can be accessed anywhere in the world, but this is not true.

F284AE52B3E1,"Dear Principal,
I think you should have a requirement that all students should have to do a certain amount of community service that they need in order to pass the grade. Even if its just painting a bench or helping around the school. I think students should care more about the community and not just about themselves. Maybe if it just for about fifteen minutes once a week, go to a soup kitchen and help out or go to the beach and pick up litter after school. Even if they see litter on the ground just pick it up to be nice to the environment and the community.
I feel that students don't care about the environment, but they would if they knew the future was in there hands, they would help out more. If they did help out then the world may not end so soon or when they are adults they may not regret helping the community because the community would be in better shape. Everywhere they look, there will be no litter, because they did a good job helping the community and they would teach there kids to help out to around the community. If they didn't help then the world may end sooner or they may regret it when they grow up. Also soon they will not be able to swim in the ocean because there will be to mush pollution in the water. I know that i wouldn't like that, so that means a lot of other people wouldn't like it either. Also there kids wouldn't help the environment so the world would get even more polluted.
Also if they help out around the school then maybe if there kids go here then they may have a better education because they don't need to worry about the community or the environment.
This is why i think you should have every student do a least 90 minutes of community service. For the world ends up better. You should make it for they don't pass the grade or something if they don't do the service.
Thank you!!
Have a great day!

Students can benefit from distance learning by keeping up with school work, It can increase their knowledge of the topic, and even impact students perspectives on school.
Students often miss school, therefore it causes them to fall behind in class. Distance learning can prevent them from being behind in their school work. It is a way students are allowed to miss school for a reasonable reason, but also be caught up and attend classes from home. Online classes can be very beneficial to the students or even video conference of the topic they're missing out on. This can help them get through their whole school career, they wouldn't have to be stressed with all the school work they missed. Students would not have to stay after school as late to make up so many classes and hours they missed by not showing up for one day.
Distance learning could increase students knowledge. Some students have trouble learning new topics in school, It could be because they don't understand it. As a student myself, Learning new topics can be challenging for me. Some students are visual learners and need to see how to do things in the matter of their learning experience. Video conferencing can be a way to understand the topics they learn in school. Other students may just want a little more guidance and that can be solved through online classes or video conferences.
Schools that offer distance learning can impact students perspectives on school. If they're falling behind or failing this could be their ticket to success. This could benefit them to graduating high school and going off to college. Distance learning can be a way that can impact students and others to never give up on school. As a student, They are challenged to seek new information ,share ideas,and experiences to understand our changing world.

AE84AD104718,"Dear Senator,
I am not alone when I say that I'm not in favor of keeping the Electoral College. According to the Gallup poll taken in 2000, over 60% of voters prefer a direct election, but Congress does nothing to change that. Keeping the Electoral college is unfair to the people of the United States. We should not keep the Elctoral College because, when Americans are voting, they are not voting for their president but for a slate of electors; the legislature is responsible for picking our electors not the people; and the process of a tie in the Electoral College is too unfair to the people.
When Americans are voting for a new president, they want their opinion to count. The popular vote explains what the people wanted for president, but that's not what the people are voting for. When we are voting for president, we are instead voting for a slate of electors; they in turn vote for the president. Voters can't control who the electors vote for, and this gives the a small say in voting for the president.
In the 2000 presidential race Al Gore received more individual votes thjan George W. Bush, but Bush won the election due the amont of elctoral votes over powering the popular votes. This completely goes against what the people want. The state legislatures are responsible for picking our slate electors; these electors have the right to defy the will of the people. Electors have refused to vote for their party's candidate and cast a vote for whomever they please.
During a presidential election, one of the most worrying things to receive from an electoral vote is a tie. When there is a tie, the election is sent to the House of Representatives. Due to the fact that many voters vote one party for the president and another for Congress, the House's selection will barely reflect the will of the people. Their votes can be the complete opposites of the people's vote. You could help us bring an end to the Electoral College.

7CE8F3872E67,"I think that they should not change the Electoral College because it tells us what kind of president we will have in the future and what kind of changes he will make. The Electoral College consists of 538 electors and a majority of 270 electoral votes is required to elect the president. You see this is something that happened a long time ago the founding fathers established it in the Constitution as a compromise between election of the President by a vote in Congress and election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens. This is a system that makes sure that we know what kind of president we are putting in the white house and what are things to make this state a better state to live in and to have a good job. Under the 23rd Amendment of the Constitution, the district of Columbia is allocated 3 electors and treated like a state for purpose of the Electoral College. The electors are generally chosen by the candidates political party, but state laws vary on how the electors are selected and what their responsibilities are. The president only haves four years, it is held every four years on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November. When you vote for your state they have a thing called winner-take-all system that awards all electors to the winning presidential candidate. However, Maine and Nebraska each have a variation of proportional representation. When the election is done they have a thing they do called Certificated of Ascertainment it lists all of the candidates who ran for president in your state along with the names of their respective electors. The Ascertainments are then sent to the Congress and then to the National Archives as part of the official records of the presidential election.
In the article of The Indefensible Electoral College its trying to ask you why even the best laid defenses of the system are wrong and it tells you why. What have Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Bob Dole, the U.S. chamber of commerce, and the AFL-CIO all, in their time, agreed on? They were trying to abolishing the electoral college and they were not alone, according to a Gallup poll in 2000, taken shortly after Al Gore thanks to the quirks of the electoral college won thwe popular vote but lost the presidency, over 60 percent of voters would prefer a direct election to the kind we have now. This is the thing that can not be changed because this is a system that we can pull up see what they were elected for and why they were voted president and how many times. It helps us how we can choose the right president or the right vice president. In 1960 in Hawaii, Vice President Richard Nixon, who was president over the senate, validated only his opponents electors, but he made sure to do so without establishing a precedent. This happened a long time before i was born. You see only one state can casts only one vote in Wyoming,representing 500,000 voters, would have as much say as the 55 representatives from California,who represent 35 million voters. In 1968,a shift of just 41,971 votes would have deadlocked the election;in 1976, a tie would have occurred if a mere 5,559 voters on Ohio and 3,687 voters in Hawaii had voted the other way.
In a article i read it says that there are five reasons to keep our despised method of choosing the president. There are called Certainty of Outcome,Everyones President,Swing States,Big States, and the final one is Avoid Run-Off Elections. Each one tells us how choosing the president and shows us a map how it works and we can see which state shows a breakdown of the number of electoral votes given to each state. This is something that can help us understand how to vote and how long they will be the president or the vice president i think that we should not change the Electoral College because how would it work without it and how would we pick the next president. This is a hard thing because it would take time to discusses it with the senators and it would take a lot of votes to agree or disagree to the idea. This is why i think that they should not change this because its been around longer before i was born.

907CA5724D42,"""The Electoral College is a process, not a place"". It was established as a compromise between election of the President by a vote in Congress and election of the President by a popular vote elected by the citizens. But people such as Bradford plumer are staring to think even the ""best-laid defenses of the system are wrong"". While others believe we should keep our ""despised method of choosing the President"" said - Richard A. Posner. but in all reality the Congress should keep the Electoral College as a way of electing the presidents and its candidates, even though it could use some updating.
The Electoral College should be kept as the way of voting for the President and his/hers candidates. ""Despite the lack of democratic predigree, its all pratical reasons, not liberal or conservative reasons."" says Posner. A dispute over the outcome of an Electoral College vote is possible, but its not likely than a dispute over the popular vote. Basically its a certainty of an outcome, Now understanding the fact that the electoral college voters vote not for the president, but for the state of electors, and over 60 perecent of the voters would prefer a direct election. Only because the people believe the electoral college is unfair, outdated and irrational to the voters. People can see what the ones against the electoral college are upset about, its true, it is the electors who elect the president, not the citizens who vote. But each party selects a slate of electors trusted to vote for the party's nominees, and that trust hardley ever betrayed.
Ones against have said ""the large states get more attention from presidental candidates in a campaign rather than a small state"". They also have said ""the winner of the take it all system in each state, candidates dont spend time in states they know they have no chance of winning, seventeen states didnt see the candidates at all, including South Carolina and Rhode Island.. they didnt even get a single ad"". But the electoral college restores some of the weight in the political balance that the large states lose in population.
Plumer strongly believes to abolish the electoral college. This year he already expects a close election in which the popular vote winner could lose the the presidency yet again, but the electoral college still has its defenders.. In his arguement he would call the electoral college a ""disaster factor"". The only disater factor on the electoral college is that its not a modern sense.. When you vote for a presidental candidate your actually voting for a slate of electors. The Electoral College needs to be updated in the method of selecting a president.

F468F20B31EE,"[Phones & Driving]
Technology and driving are a very dangerous pair they have taken so many innocent lives because people's faces are glued to their phone. In 2016 263 teen's age's (16 to 19) were killed by distracted driving. The NHTSA estimates that every day 660,000 drivers use electronic devices while behind the wheel. That's a lot of lives at stake because people are careless and can't just pull their eyes away from their phone's just to drive down the street.
In 2018 about 4,637 people died in car accidents related to distracted driving, by using cellphones. The technology of today has evolved or progressed to where there are so many new gadgets and apps that were constantly looking down at our screens. We also are always taking picture or videos while trying to drive and if you aren't recording yourself then you're probably trying to pose for the camera. Even when u don't like to drive and text or do whatever on your phone there are always going to be friends or family that encourage or want u to do something on your phone while driving. Out of all the crashes in the world 26% of those crashes are caused by texting and driving.
My reason for writing this essay is to agree that talking or being on a device while driving is dangerous. Here I will list my reasons for it being dangerous. First off it puts yourself and other drivers in harm's way and possibly hurt badly or even killed. That's you should put your phone away when driving or do whatever you have to do on it before you get on the road. Secondly you should think about the consequences before you do it such as, if I do this will it harm me and my drivers, or people in the vehicle with me. Even if you are a cellphone addict you should think about others before you drive and text.
So for the conclusion of my essay I will end it by saying this driving and text is a very bad way to hurt yourself and others on the road so if you care put down the phone, and put your eyes on the road. The world would be a safer place without people texting and driving and not paying attention to the road and their surroundings. We ask that the people that are texting and driving to please stop, because they are killing or are putting peoples children on the road in danger. I along with a bunch of other people feel distracted driving has to stop now. ",,451,Phones and driving,Independent,"Today the majority of humans own and operate cell phones on a daily basis.

9E6F70058AC8,"Advice is usually used when a person needs help choosing something or wants to know what they need to do next. I think that seeking multiple opinions help but not at all times, what if someone ask what dress should I wear and one person says ""the pink one"" and the other person says ""they yellow one."" Asking for multiple people's opinions helps because if he or she is stuck in a complicated situation, others could help them out by providing their opinion. The more opinions that person gets, the better the choices he or she makes, the less opinions the more harder it is to make up the decisions. Someones opinion is not always what he or she would like to hear or maybe its a great opinion that that person loved but its all about what their asking, when people give others their opinion it more than likely for a good cause, or to help them out.
Some people's advice or opinions could be the exact opposite of what that person was asking, but thats because its their opinion they could say whatever they like. Thats why talking to more than one person is a great idea, because the more opinions that are received the more better choices. For example, go around and ask people what shoes do they like, then one person comes up and says ""ew those are ugly"" it may not be a nice opinion but its what they think. Sometimes their answers may be offensive to them, but it depends on what they are asking but that person will have to get used to the fact that not everyone is going to agree. Everybody is most likely all going to have a different answer, it can't all be the same because not everyone thinks alike. A wise person once told me ""great minds think alike"" to me that means smart, rich, poor, or dumb anyone could have a smart mind and think completely different.
Opinions are called opinions for a reason, because it doesnt matter what they say because its not true, a fact is true because its proven and opinion isn't. However it could sound brilliant to that person but not be the answer to what they are asking. Having multiple opinions help he or she make better choices because it allows them to try new things and explore what others tell them. Possibly if they take others advice it will cause them to have a more likely chance at doing bigger and better things in life. If we didnt ask for any ones advice or anything we'd all probably be stuck on what to do next. Everyone is different and has different opinions and ideas, but its still a good thing to ask others what they think every once in a while.
One persons yes could be another persons no, but no matter what anyone else thinks you should always do what best. At times he or she can't always help themselves, so every now and then they should ask for help and help others also. Making better choices is the main point, and it happens by exploring and asking questions about the world, people should ask themselves questions to get where they want to be in life.

489CCED96F76,"Distance learning is becoming more and more popular as the rise of technology continues. It is now possible to take classes from the comfort of your bedroom, rather than having to go all the way to school. At first thought, this may seem like a brilliant idea; get the same education you would in a classroom without the need of actually going to the classroom. However, there can be many drawbacks to this design of learning. Although distance learning offers a source of education from the comfort of your home, it can impede on your learning and ability to recieve a quality education.
The first reason why distance learning should not be implemented is due to the fact that there are too many distractions for this system of education. At home, you are able to have your TV, cell phone, and all other sorts of modes of technology that can distract you from your learning. This is in contrast to school, where you are not allowed to have your cell phone and there are not many things that can distract your learning. It has been statistically proven that students do not do as well on exams when they have their phones on their desks as when phones are put away and out of sight. It is very likely that if you have these types of distractions at home while you are taking online classes, you will be drawn to the distractions and will not be able to learn as well as in a classroom.
Another reason as to why distance learning doesn't benefit students is because of the social aspect of school. At school, you are exposed to up to hundreds or even thousands of other students that you can interact with and become friends with. Students are able to talk to each other in between classes, at lunch, before school, etc. But with distance learning, this social aspect becomes limited. At home, students are isolated and do not have the ability to talk to or communicate with their friends. School is not only about learning; school is also about being able to work collaboratively with other people and learn valuable teamwork skills. These skills are able to help you in the future, whether this is in the workplace, or just a hobby that you enjoy that involves other people. With distance learning, you cannot easily collaborate and work with other classmates as easy as if you were in a classroom with them.
The final reason for the downside of distance learning is the limitation of classes that are available. In learning online, there are just some classes that you aren't able to take as opposed to as if you were at a normal school. This would include gym, tech ed, and home ec just to name a few. Students are not at the disposal of the equipment and supervision to do what is necessary to complete the tasks needed for this class. Take home ec for example; in the classroom, there are many ovens, pans, blenders, and other cooking supplies that are needed to learn how to cook that a students may not have at home. In addition, there are teachers at school that are there to watch over the cooking process to make sure that a student won't burn or injure themselves while making food. At home, there is not this type of supervision that is required for home ec.
These are just some of the reasons that distance learning may seem to good to be true. Another is the fact that with online learning, you are not able to have that face-to-face, 1 on 1 interaction that you can have in person with a teacher while at school. Yes, distance learning is helpful for some people that cannot travel to or do not learn as well in a classroom environment. However, the negatives outweigh the benefits for this type of learning. If there are advancements in the future that enable a more interactive and socialized way of online learning, then maybe it should be implemented. But for now, this is not the case and distance learning is not as beneficial as classroom learning for students.

439F5C311FE2,"Google has always been there for us when we need a fantastic search engine or when we need to figure out what special holiday it is, but little did we know about there lastest invention! Google has been seeking for a better technological future since 2009 with there latest peice; the smart vehicle. Although, this great thought has come to life for the world to visualize, I don't really believe that this invention is as great as the world may see it to be.
For a place which is already called ""Lazy America"", why would this nation want to progress the other lands thoughts on that belief? The fact that there are cars being made for the laziest of people who don't have the moments of time or ability to sit and drive to go from one place to another is upsetting. These cars are being made for the people who rather text, eat, (etc.) and drive than pay attention to the road. Google had mentioned that their cars must have ""the human driver..remain alert and be ready to take over.."", but Google is trying to get around that problem so the car is totally self-operated. Not only Google, but many other vehicle companies. For example, in paragraph ten, it states that the ""Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Nissan plan to have cars that can drives themselves by 2020."" What does this prove? Does this show that America's self worth is our inventions? No, I believe that this shows how unbelievably lazy this world has become.
Secondly, Although this autopilot car may caught the heart and the eyes of everyone who has heard about this invention, I'm positive that these cars could not be afforable to the people who want them most. Because of the amount of time and money that it took to research how to make these cars, it would cost lots of money to replenish those funds and there is only one way of doing that for those vehicle companies and for Google; selling their cars for higher prices. For this reasoning, many of the lower classes and comfortably living middle classes would not be able to pay for the cars. In paragraph one, it talks about how ""the car he{Sergey Brin} foresees would use half the fuel of today's taxis.."" and cars, which is good for our planet and good for the ozone, but if the only people who have these cars are the rich, which is low in numbers of people as a whole, what difference would it make if the many people who cannot afford these smart cars are still giving off these gas fumes and pollution into the air? Many people think about how this will affect the human race and how great of an invention this is. Yes, this invention may have its perks, but it wouldn't make a difference for those who cannot afford the first downpayment of these cars.
Lastly, the amount of regulations and laws that have to be overturn would take many, many years for these cars to even be legal to drive in many parts of the world! ""Traffic laws are written with the assumption that the only safe car has a human driver in control at all times."" I firmly believe in this. They say this because when a human driver is always operating the vehicle, they are forced to pay attention for the sake of their lives or others.
The narrator of this article that ""..special touch sensors makes sure the driver keeps hold of the wheel"" at all times, but even if the human driver is holding on and behind the wheel that does not mean that they are paying attention 100% percent to the road ahead of them, which happens to be a scary thought. Many people fall asleep behind the wheel when the car is fully operated by them alone, so this would not stop many people from falling asleep.. Especially if they don't have to do anything to drive! If those many alert sensors do not alert the sleeping person, that may be trouble. Getting that passed through traffic laws would be difficult; Even for Google!
Although Google has been there for us for about a good decade and a half, helping us with our internet needs, that doesn't mean that they need to continue to move forward with something like this. The smart car, may be a pretty new thing to gaze and gauke at, but is it safe for our everyday use? Would it be safe for our newly founded driving teenagers, who already text and drive?

E45CEA133E14,"Vroom, vroom goes the 1998 Chevy Impala next to you at the stop light. Driving has become apart of culture that is standard to the developed world. But the culture is slowly changing because the driving epidemic is becoming limited. Cars can be very expensive, harmful to the environment, and troublesome. Limiting car usage can help the environment, help finances, and reduce stress.
Cars are defined as metal cases with lether seats powered by gas or diseal. Gas and disel are fuels that are harmful to the Earth and can cause harmful emission and greenhouse gases. These gasses can cause smog, or smoke and fog mixed together creating a grey cloud of unbreathable dense air. Smog is very harmful for the environment and can heat the Earth which is not the ideal for the human body. In France, smog, caused by car emissions became unbearable, thus causing the entire city of Paris to ban cars for five days. According to Robert Duffer, ""Congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of France, after five days of intensifying smog"" (Paris Bans Driving due to Smog Paragraph 14). Therefore cars and its horrible blow can cause a blanket of harmful reactant. Cars can also cause greenhouse gases which is when the heat of the day and the cool of the night trap in the harmful emissions of a car. These greenhouse gases can also heat the Earth and can harm humans. Elisabeth Rosenthal states, ""Passenger cars are responible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Euorpe...and up to 50 percent in some car-intensive areas in the United States"" (Car-Free Cities Paragraph 5). In effort to save the Earth and the human race many cities and communties have adotped car-banning, reducing the amount of population caused buy cars.
A 2014 Lincoln MKX runs about $45,000, which is the equvialent to the salary of a high school teacher annually. Cars can be very expensive to buy, maintain, and to fuel. The price of oil is about $2.45 today. But over the past few years gas prices have fulcutated up to almost $4.00 a gallon. The average driver might buy gas every two weeks at 20 gallons, that equals $116 a month for gas. The money used to fuel the car has turned into a gas bill, not to mention the sparatic mishaps that can happen while on the road. Cars today have become an invesment instead of a luxury. Although, ""transportation is the second largest source of America's emissions,"" does not mean it should remain. The advance in technology and resources has allowed people to reduce the use of cars, and ultimately save themselves money. For example, many people have co-workers that live near one another. Thus, both persons can carpool on alternate days. Mimi Sheller suggests, ""the Internet makes telecommunting possible and allows people to feel more connected without driving to meet friends (End of Car Culture Paragraph 35). It is much easier and cheaper to carpool, take the bus, or take the subway. Limiting car usage would save money because more young people are ""interested[in driving], but it's not a prority."" Therefore, parents do not have to spend $30,000 on a new car for their 16 year old. ""A study last year found that driving by young people decreased 23 percent between 2001 and 2009,"" which is putting money back into the pockets of parents and public transportation companies (The End of Car Culture Paragraph 39).
Road rage is the disease the that overtakes a person when another person is driving idiotically. Road rage is sitting at a green light at a complete stop because the person in front of you is too busy texting their BFF. Road rage is caused by driving. Driving can cause stress because cars are out of your control, traffic is out of your control, and time is out your control. When things are out of control, human nature is to panic. Driving is not the time nor the place to panic. Limiting car usage can reduce the effects of this stress caused by driving because there would be less people on the road, less traffic, and less crashes. Heidrun Walter says, ""When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way"" (Car Free Cities Paragraph 3). Less cars means less drivers which then means a safer environment for pedestrians. Less cars means less traffic which means no more road rage. Less cars means less cars because there are less reckless drivers grazing the road. Limiting car usage can also make people come closer together because it forces them to interact in order to get around. For instance, instead of hopping into you 2013 Camry you call an old friend who happens to work on a different floor of your office building. This interaction can spark a new realtionship and brightens your day. Cars and driving causes stress because it is out of control, but if cars are limited then the stressed caused by driving will be reduced.
Road rage, smog, and tickets, driving is the mush pot of the many problems of this world. Limiting car usage can save the planet, save money, and save you blood from boiling.

D496BF3A284F,"One day you principal decides that all students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity, this can range from sports to running for student council. This may sound great at first but once you analyze the situation and realize this may not be ideal for all families, you will see why this idea should be expelled right away.
To begin, the main question we should be asking is why, why are these students being told they have to participate in these activities?
Not only should we be asking why, we should be asking;
What would happen if they don't?
From family matters, money issues, transportation, to school work,, there are many reasons a student may not be able to participate in these activities.
To further explain my reasoning, all people have families, and with these families comes matters and other issues that need to be dealt with. For example, if a family member in this students' life happens to pass away, is the school going to tell this child to get over it and come do their activity? Or say these parents dont pay for some sort of child care system and they give this responsibility to the eldest child, are the schools going to punish these children because have to take care of their younger sibling? From slight examination, this doesn't look to good for the schools.
If the schools are going implement this mandatory rule, how will they make it so all kids can participate? This leads to my next statement,
Will the schools provide transportation to the students who may need it?
Speaking on personal experience it can be difficult for students to get a ride home after activities when their only source of transportation is their guardians who may be unable to pick them up for reasons such as working, inability to drive, and many reasons which would make it near impossible for the child to get home. Also it can be quite embarrassing to ask for a ride home everyday. This can also lead to another major problem, kidnapping, the schools may be unaware as to whom the child is going home with and that can lead to a serious problem and a possible lawsuit on the schools hands. Furthermore, if the school are serious about this plan then they will be responsible for making sure every child is safe and has a stable way of getting home.
To continue on the topic of schools providing, lets talk about financial issues for the students and the schools as well. Not only will the schools have to give up an exponential amount of money to provide resources fro these activities, the students will too. More often than not, the guardians of these students have to give up a good amount of money in order to participate in this activities, and often times the schools forget that not everyone has the same amount of financial stability. This can lead to the student feeling left out when their classmates have stuff they nay not be able to afford, or in other instances, bullying. In order for each student to feel included the schools will have to pay for all of the resources.
All of the previous points may sound bad, but this upcoming one should persuade you on its own. From family matters to financial issues nothing really compares to what could be happening to these young people if they are forced to do these activities. While these activities may be fun, each child has to eventually go home to complete any school work. With this gargantuan load of waking up early in the morning, attending school for eight hours each day, going to their activity, and then going home to do more school work can induce an amount of stress no one under the age of 20 should ever endure. While reading this you may be wondering about the students who voluntarily do these activities, they choose to participate in this and they can better plan out their schedule and balance their work. However if this idea is put into action these students won't have much of a choice.
When you are given a good chunk of the facts, do you really want your child to have to worry about being kidnapped, being excluded by their classmates, or endure an unnessasary amount of stress at a very young age? Do you want your child to be unable to focus in class because of the large work load that's being dumped on them? If not, it is your responsibility to tell your school districts that you don't think this is best for your child, and they should be able to live as a child.
In conclusion no child should have to worry about juggling these tasks nor should they be worried about going missing, being bullied, or any stress that can mess with their mental health or their performance on school.

7628CCDFDC3A,"Anytime someone goes out in public they are more than likely on camera. Technology is becoming more and more advance every day and it has a lot of good benefits. This article talks about a new technology called the Facial Action Coding system. The use of this technology reading the students expressions in a classroom is valuabe because it can adjust lessons to their need, can tell if something is wrong, and can read almost all emotions they are feeling.
The use of Facial Action Coding is valuable in the classroom because it can adjust lessons to the students needs. In the article the author says "" 'A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored...then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor.' "" This show that this technology would help all students learn in a way that benefits them and not be confused in class, but afraid to say anything. Each student learns at their own pace and by sitting infront of these computers they can learn and actually enjoy learning.
Having this type of technoloy in the classroom is really beneficial because it can tell if something is wrong. In the article it states ""They even indicate the difference between a genuine smile and a forced one."" This show that if a student in the classroom is being bullied or going through bad things at home the computer can read that and send some type of alert out to the teacher. This benefits the student because they teacher would be able to sit down with them and help figure out a way to solve his/her problems or how to seek help.
Using the Facial Action Coding technology in the classroom is very valuable because it can read more than one emotion they are feeling. In the article the author states ""She's 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry."" This shows that when a student sits infront of the computer it will analyze every part of their face to find how much they are feeling of each emotion. Reading all their emotions is quite beneficial because if they suddenly get very angry or sad they teacher could be notified and they could be pulled out of class to ask what is wrong instead of causing a big scene.
Finally, the Facial Action Coding may have its flaws, but it comes out on top with pretty good benefits especially for students. Putting this in classrooms could save a lot of bad things from happening and help our sociecty grow stronger and more intelligent. Giving this a try could be the beginning to a new and better future for kids all over.

900A879708F0,"Many school systems now offer an option of attending online classes either in conjunction with a students school year classes or during summer break. Though this opportunity may presumably appear to provide many advantages, there are many typically unacknowledged resulting consequences that lead me to argue that this type of schooling does not compare to hands on learning in the classroom. Students would not benefit nearly as much from online classes than in the classroom as it allows easy potential for students to struggle to comprehend material but lack teacher assistance, education at home provides far more accessibility to distractions and cheating than in a supervised classroom, and requiring students to spend long hours comprehending difficult material can become increasingly straining and taxing on both the mind and body.
Online courses are not beneficial to students learning as without an educational professional present to guide them, students can easily struggle to comprehend difficult concepts. Generally one may assume the ability for students taking online courses to work at their own pace makes it more valuable than structured and scheduled lessons in the classroom, but this is usually not the case. I myself enrolled in an online geometry course during one summer and although there were occasional scheduled conference calls, a majority of the course was done independently and free of assistance. Working at your own pace isn't so appealing once a student has been presented an overwhelming amount of difficult material to learn with no other guidance, requiring many more hours dedicated to struggling to comprehend material than if they had a qualified teacher present. Additionally, these courses usually require a specific amount of learning to be completed each day, so the idea a student can leisurely complete assignments is a huge misconception. Although I recognize other students experiences taking online courses may have been different than mine, the structure of my class is a good representation of what most of the other online courses in my county would have been like.
Another reason online classes are not as beneficial as they may appear is that students face constant distraction and opportunity to cheat at home than if they were in the classroom. It's easy to think there would actually be less distraction in the quiet of your own home than classrooms that can sometimes be full of loud and troublesome students, subsequently making it hard to focus at times. However, schools often implement strict regulations on phones, food, and talking as they know how much these things can be a distraction to a learning environment. At home with no teacher supervision, students may find themselves easily distracted by electronics and the accessibility to get up and do other things in the comfort of their own house. This results it it taking even longer to get through material and presents the risk of students missing out on important information. Moreover, without teacher supervision it may become tempting for the student to cheat on assignments as it is far more easy to get away with and there would be no one present to enact consequences. I've heard many student discussing taking online courses for the sole purpose that they know they can find answer keys and other materials to cheat online. In my particular situation, only my midterm and final exam were monitored in a public setting, leaving opportunity for other students to cheat on any test, quiz, or other classwork assignment. I agree cheating is inevitable in any educational circumstances, but it is far more prevalent in unsupervised situations.
Lastly, online courses typically require a large amount of material to be learned each day requiring long hours at the computer and subsequent negative health effects considering the strain on the students mind and body. Although this isn't accurate for online classes done in conjunction with the school year, the summer geometry class I took often resulted in me working on the computer for upwards of eight hours everyday. Excluding the obvious result that it was a great sacrifice of my time, this amount of length on any electronic results in long term damage to health. One can argue students are on their phones for many hours anyway, but in combination with having to read a screen for hours, the student must also be actively trying to learn difficult material, which becomes extremely straining on the eyes and taxing on the mind. Additionally, even taking into consideration that many school systems now implement technology in the classroom, this is still far less than a consistent full day on the computer required by online courses. By taking an online course, you agree to sacrifice your time and health.
School educators were trained to provide the best possible education for a student, and by eliminating that invaluable resource by taking an online course, you have know placed an unqualified student in charge of their own self directed education. Any presumable benefit provided by an online course, has a subsequent consequence that is usually not considered. To this day I regret enrolling in that geometry course, as it moved at too fast of a pace to where I consequently find myself struggling to grasp those concepts today. Online courses simply cannot effectively supplement for a students present education in the classroom. Taking online courses does far more harm than any good to students by allowing easy potential for students to struggle to comprehend difficult material without teacher guidance, education at home provides easy accessibility to distractions and cheating without supervision, and long hours of comprehending massive amounts of material can leave the mind and body drained and exhausted. Teachers will always provide the best possible learning experience, and students should always take advantage of that resource.",,946,Distance learning,Independent,Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing.

I just want to say if the average is got to be a B then if mostly all the jocks have C average there no one going to be playing because all the jocks are C average. But if you want to put it as B average then do it but i just want to let you know that if you do then mostly ass the good jock or whatever sport there good at they wont be playing until they bring the grade up to a B average.
Everyone likes sports but if you change the average then its not going to work out because all the good player are not going to be playing if you want the school to look bad but at the same time your trying to make it better for us but then all the slackers at the school. They will ruin it plus i don't want to go to a school that has a team at sports that are doing horrible at it i want this school to look good but at the same time look smart.
But i think it will work out either way it goes hopefully because this school great but you have too look in our shoes and be like we want win every sport but yet we have to have are grades up. So i really think its a good thing what your doing but at the same time no.
I think we should have like a vote on if we should have a rule of playing sports having a B average. What if non intelligent kids are not smart but they can play very good at sports like kids from other countries don't speak English and are not smart with English but they are good at sports but the really want to play but they don't have a good enough average.
So to be honest i don't think you should do that rule but at the same time i think its a great rule but some kids just wont out the effort in to have good grades.

First, the author talks about Venus is almost like Earth's twin. In paragraph 2, he states how Venus is similar to Earth in many ways. One way is how they have similar sizes and desities. He also says Venus is sometimes the closest planet to Earth.
Second, the author states the challenges and solutions to them. In paragraph 3, he states that, ""On the planet's surface, temperatures average over 900 degrees Fahrenheit..."" His solution is to fly above the surface where its still pretty hot, but nothing compared to the surface. He also states how the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than Earth's. His solution for that is also flying above it because high enough would be similar to Earths
Third, the author talks about how NASA is working on ways to vist Venus. In paragraph 7, the author states that NASA is testing things in atmospheres similar to Venus's. So far, they've stayed in a few weeks before being destroyed. He talks about how mechanical computers could survive it.

30E611671A72,"Have you ever wondered about space travel? Maybe even on planets that might be closer than it seems? What if it was one of them in The Milkyway Galaxy? You might be thinking about Mars but you may think too yourself ""We've already explored alot of Mars."" But what if I told you that Venus is the planet we are talking about visting? The author in the article, "" The Challenge of Exploring Venus"" agrees with exploring one of our planetary neighbors Venus. It's conciderd Earth's 'twin', We have tecnology that can help us explore the planet, and that studying Venuses atmosphere atmosphere can help us lern more abut our sister planet.
Venus is known for being one of Earth's ""twins"". Venus is known for it's density and size that is quite similar to Earth's. ""Astronomers are facinatedby Venus beacuse it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system. Long ago, Venus was probaly covered largely with oceans and could have supported forms of life, just like Earth."" (Paragraph 4, Challenges of Exploring Venus). Astromomers are saying that venus is very similar to Earth, by its size and that in the past Venus might have had life forms on it and that might be a good reason why it would be a good reason to explore Venus.
Another reason why exploring Venus would be a good idea is that we have the proper tecnology to go and explore our sister planet. ""NASA has one particularly compelling idea for sending humans to go study Venus. NASA's possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus would allow scientist to float above the fray... blimp-like vehicle hovering 30 or so miles above the rolling Venusian landscape."" (Paragraph Five, The Challenge of Exploring Venus). With the tecnology to be able to fly over Venus and using a blimp to help humans fly over the harsh conditions of Venuses surface. So we have the right tecnology to fly over Venus and safely get humans from Earth to our sister planet Is another reason why we should start exploring Venus.
A final reason why we should explore Venus is that we know about Venuses weather and condisons are harsh and we know how to help explore the planet. "" a thick atmosphere of almost 97% carbon dioxide and clouds are highly containing sulfuric acid... Venusian geology and weather present additional impediments like errupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lighting stricks to probes seeking land on it's surface."" ( Paragraph 3, The Challenge of Exploring Venus). Scinetist are discovering Venuses waether like conditions and the planet's conditions. With knowing these we can make tecmology that can help us explore the planet. And we can study these weather conditions and learn more about our sister planet.
So traveling to Venus is a good idea to travel to Venus even though the conditions on the planet are not so welcoming and the resaoning for traveling there is that, the planet is Earth's ""twin, we have the correct tecnology to travel there and we know a lot of the planet's atmosphere and how we can take that to help make human travel safe to get from Earth to venusand how we can help humans survive the conditions that come along with Venus.

ECE1DAD2A886,"Would you want a software to track your emotions? Facial Action Coding System is now enabling a computer to identify human emotions. This would allow your computer to read students emotions by weighting the different units to identify mixed emotions. As proven by Dr. Huang who studied human anatomy using the muscles to precisely convey emotions, I think this is a great idea.
First, by using Facial Action Coding System this will allow teachers and staff to know how a student is feeling during a test, or assignment. If a teacher knows how someone feels when taking an assignment they might go easier on the student in class, and give them extra chances to do the assignment at another time. Teachers don't always know what a student is going through. Every student is prepared to be ready for a test in a certain way. Some students often take a longer time than others. The recognition of a facial espression could easily tell a teacher how they were feeling about it all along.
Secondly, most students go through a lot at home, or even in school. Many students are diagnosed with many mental stabilities such as ADHD, ADD, anxiety, and so on. The guidance administration can help a student who has these mental stabilities by seeing how they feel while they do assignments, and tests. Seeing how a student feels would give them the chance to get help, and have them seperated from the room to help them focus on certain things. Not all students will come out about how they feel; Some keep to themselves and don't want to talk about there problems.
Finally, a computer seeing how you feel could make your day better. If your computer sees that you are sad it might put up a funny ad to make you laugh. If your computer sees that you are angry it might put up a calming, or soothing ad. If your computer sees that you are faking a smile it might put up something that will make you turn your fake smile into something real. Like Dr. Huang stated "" Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication. So computers need to understand that, too.""
In conclusion, the new technology called the Facial Action Coding System that enables computers to identify human emotions is a good idea.

Excuse me TEACHER_NAME i disagree with the policy about the sports and activity.
I don't think that the students with a B grade average should be the only ones to play sports and participate in the activities. What if the students with a C grade average are not athletic and don't want to participate in any activities that will take place. I don't understand the big deal. Some of the students with a grade C average are very athletic or like to participate in the great activities that our school will have. Maybe u should change your policy about the sports and activities. Maybe u should change it to a grade C average.

With a strong upcoming of the future, many car company have been working on cars that can help the economy grow into a huge future. Google being one of the biggest company's to make a car that can do this. This is my opinion about it.
As of right now the driverless car is still needed to be worked on. It can only go 25 miles per hour and still need humans to be aware of what is going on. If a human is not paying attention there will be an accident waiting to happen. I believe driverless cars should not be illegal in any state and I think this will greatly help towards the future. I understand the pros and cons of this and I think there are more pros to this than cons. So I think we really should allow this to happen but not to take over the full car game.
Google is a big enough industry to fund something like this. But a lot of states illegalized it but we all know the country is known for making things that shouldn't be illegal illegal. I hope Google continues to fight the system and get stronger so this could be something new. I believe that Google can fight back and push for this to happen.

I think that students should be legally permitted to be able to bring their cell phones to school. a few reasons I think this way are: it would be resourceful, time consuming, and a little bit of freedom to help us as students learn how to be responsible.
One reason I think the way I do is because if a student for some reason is to have an accident or some kind of emergency and they do not have their cell phone on them or at school then it could be every difficult to contact their parents. If their parents do not have the school's number then it shall be very difficult to contact them. However, if this student were to have a cell phone then their parent(s) or guardian(s) will have their child's number saved into their phone so it would be very resourceful.
Another reason i think this way is if school is to let out early and instead of having a humongous cluster for everyone to use the one or two office phones everyone could pull out their cell phone and contact their parents. Although, some students shall not have a cell phone then they could borrow one of their friend's phones and be able to contact their parent(s) or guardian(s).

68989269D0E2,"Dear Principal,
Cell phones allow us to talk to others from a distance, text each other messages, and used for pure entertainment. But are they really important enough to bring to school? Or do they cause more trouble than they are worth? Personally, I am siding with your second policy. cell phones should only be used for calls about transportation, whether you need to be picked up at a later time, bring a friend home, etc. But can't you use the school phone for that? Cell phones should be banned from school because they can get stolen, cause disruptions, and prevent learning.
First, cell phones are everything to teenagers these days. Some teenagers, however, may become jealous if one of their friends has a new shiny phone when their phone is all scratched up. Phones getting stolen is not an uncommon issue. Since the memory of a phone can be cleared, students are willing to get the next best thing, even if that means stealing it from a friend. Therefore, if students did not bring their phones to school, stealing is avoided and students can stay happy with the phones they have.
Next, when a student's phone rings, it causes quite a commotion. Disciplinary action is withheld and the student is left depressed and phoneless. However, the other students will be left laughing and the phone ringing is all they will discuss for the next few minutes rather than the day's lesson. Because this occurs daily with students, Policy 2 will make this disruption will no longer occur.
Lastly, students won't learn with cell phones at school because they are too tempting. I myself see students put there phone between there legs and text while the teacher isn't looking. Also when a phone goes off, all the students will be concentrated on is the ring rather than what the teacher is teaching.

1C29F0363194,"Are you passionate about chess, football, or debate? Luckily, most schools have clubs for those activities. Extracurricular activities are very helpful in the success and improvement of students. All students should be required to do one or more extracurricular activities. When doing and extracurricular activity, students can learn new skills, meet new people, and grow awareness for a cause, issue, or group.
Students want to learn about things outside of what they're testing for, and extracurricular activities are the perfect opportunity to do that. There are activities where you can learn to bake, sew, play chess, play basketball, or even learn about other countries and cultures. Students should be required to learn skills outside of History, English, Math, or Science. Students should have more opportunities to learn about life outside of those subjects. Adults might not use polynomials or graphs every day, but they most likely cook every day, so students should have an opportunity to learn how to cook.
Another reason extracurricular activities should be required because you can meet new people. When I first moved to Virginia I didn't know anyone, I was scared and didn't have any friends. By doing extracurricular activities, I found a great group of friends that are passionate about the same things I am. One of my friends recently tried out for our school play, she got in, and now she is much closer with everyone involved in the play. After spending many weekends and days after school in the drama department, she made many new friends and grew closer with old friends too.
Extracurricular activities also grow awareness for illnesses or groups. If it weren't for fundraisers, I wouldn't know about illnesses like ovarian cancer, or dementia. Many schools also have a diversity club where students can raise awareness about different cultures and embrace their differences. Diversity club can ensure people that it's okay to be different and that no one is the exact same. Through the partners program at my school, I learned that special needs people are still people and that you should treat them with the same respect you would give anyone else.
All in all, Some people think that we shouldn't be required to do an extracurricular activity, but I disagree. I think that all students should be required to do at least one extracurricular activity. Extracurricular activities teach students new skills, like chess, help students make new friends, and grow awareness for many issues.

9EBE1DC9D4A7,"Students are like baby chickens. They need a leader and proper guidance to ensure they prosper in life. Teachers can be and usually are that mother hen for their students. This applies to many circumstances whether it is in school, during the summer, or even after college. Planning projects in the summer, a perfect time for students to grow and expand their knowledge, is an area that most teachers are experts on. Some people may say projects given during the summer should be designed by the students. However, summer projects should be teacher-designed because students cannot be held accountable and need guidance.
Summer projects should not be student-designed because students are not trustworthy. The majority of students will search for an easy way out and try to make the project as simple as possible. This is completely divergent to a teacher's mindset. They enjoy pushing students out of their comfort zone so they have a better chance to improve and grow. Students cannot be held accountable to design a summer project that will challenge their mind because of their lack of motivation. In addition, students are not responsible enough to be bestowed with the task of creating their own project. Without a doubt, they will prioritize relaxation and fun over learning and hard work, especially in the summer. As a repercussion, it is a waste of time for the student and teacher, since the student did not put forth their best effort. Some people may say students should create their own summer projects so they can take the initiative and learn to be independent. However, they are wrong because students cannot be held accountable for their actions due to their lazy mentalities. Teachers benefit from challenging students, which is why teacher-designed summer projects ensure that students continue to learn.
Another reason teachers should design summer projects is because most students still need assistance and guidance. Teachers are more experienced in life and share their wisdom with children. Nevertheless, they know what activities and projects stimulate the brain and help students learn better. With this additional knowledge, they are better suited to plan and organize projects. For many students, their brain continues to develop and their pre-frontal cortex develops last. As a result, they rely on their amygdala, which is why they do not have the best decision making skills. When asked to create a project, some students do not know where to start because they need guidelines to accomplish a task. For this reason, teachers are always there to help and give guidance. They look out for their students and give encouragement because they want what is best for them. Many people say that schools should give students permission to design summer projects as a way to give them more freedom and allow them to express their creativity. Although, they are incorrect because students still need guidance since they do not have as much experience compared to adults and for the reasont that their brains are still developing.
Clearly, summer projects should be teacher-designed due to the lazy mentalities and ongoing brain development of students. Children cannot be trusted to create their own project because they will not challenge themselves enough, especially compared to a teacher. Students still require guidance because their brain is still developing and teachers provide beneficial wisdom. It is essential that these projects stimulate the brain so student continue to learn over summer. Without a doubt, teachers should definitely create summer projects because if they didn't, students might be robbed of a prosperous future.

If students are able to text, chat, call, and play with their phones and with other people, no one would learn anything anymore.
Nearly all the students would be immersed in their cell phones, and with the cell phones available, people could search the web, go online, play games, listen to music, practically everything, right there on their cell phone.
I assure you that if you let people have their cell phones, average grades would be lower than if they didn't, as not everyone one would be paying attention to the teacher's lecture, power-point, video, etc., but instead they would be secretly texting each other and searching the web or playing games.
It is very easy to hide a cell phone while using it.
It could be in a book, or under a desk.
And yet, these are not the only issues.
Some of the students here don't have as much financially as other students.
The cell phones will arouse jealousy and lead to stealing.
If you have this rule in place, you can potentially be accounted responsible for lost or stolen phones.
If you are seriously considering this, don't let students have their cell phones at all.
They would not need to pay attention in class or learn anything, instead, they would just need some WiFi to look it up on their phone.
Don't allow students to have their cell phoned on and in use every day.
If you truly care about your students education at this school, you will listen to this, and ban all cell phone use.
So what shall it be. Do you care about your students, or not?
Sincerely,
One of your students",,290,Cell phones at school,Independent,"Your principal is reconsidering the school's cell phone policy. She is considering two possible policies:

Many of the people in this passage talked a lot about making some of the cities more dense so more people could and would walk to any place they needed to go with out spending a fortune on the way to where it is they need to go. near the bottom of the main passage the writer talks about the ""Enviromental Protection Agency"" discussing this topic as said,""Many experts expect publc transport serving suburbs to play a much larger role in a new six-year federal transportation bill"" it is quite obvious that the people spending so many efforts trying to pass this rule really care about the enviroment and all the beings in it.
Not only have local people in the US have been interested in taking care of the enviroment by keeping cars alienated from the situation. The second passage talks about Paris banning cars from being driven and ho wharmful it was like, ""After days of near-record pollution, Pars enforced a partial driving bannto clear the air of the global city"". Though a smart idea, it was quite hard to enforce due to the large amount of fines written which were about ""4,000"" who didn't see very fond of the idea of not driving to where they need to go. Though over time this problem did slightly and temporarily solved it's self, another counrty has gained the title of, ""one of the most polluted cities in the world"".
Beijing China has just been placed in the worst type of economy and climate, because of the, ""cold nights and warm days caused the warmer layer of air to trap car emissions"".

These high deisel emissions was due to commercialized revanue and mass shippments of various products sold everyday nonstop. this also includes overseas and aircraft shipping which actually does make a difference not only just polluting the air and land but also the water.
Some of the places spoken of use a special event to introduce and promote the idea of not being able to use your automobile for a certain time, but in a few Columbian cities they practically have a festival about it, and some of the people even push the idea and construct walk lanes, smooth sidewalks, restaurants, and shopping districts. Even our own New York City has a ""bike-sharing program"" which helps the enviroment, the city, and maybe even the person, but some of the people who keep their licenses still give off more than we could get in. something that definitly boosts the car emissions is all the new technology that more and more car-makers are coming out with these days.

7DEC1A5C316D,"Dear senator
I would like to ask you to please change voting regulations from the Electoral College to popular vote. The Popular vote would work much better because voters are not really voting for a presedent we are voing for a slate of electors.
The electoral college is unfair, outdated, and irrational. An example of this is in 2000, Gore and Bush were canidates, and when the votes were counted Gore have more popular votes but less electoral votes then Bush, this was the forst time that happend sence the election of 1888. Another example of the electoral college regulations being unfair is in 2012 when Obama recived 61.7 percent of the electoral vote as opose to only 51.3 percent cast for him and Romney. And a nationwide tie with electoral votes is possable because of the number of votes is 538, its an even number although it is highly unlikely.
The winner-take-all method of awarding all electoral votes to 1 specific canadate is unfair aswell because as we have seen in 2012 the canadates focus mainly on serton states because all states are worth a diffrent amount of electoral votes. Such as California being worth 55 votes and Washinton state being priced at 12 votes or New Mexico being at a total cost of 5 votes.

A827D5DE2309,"When school ends, and summer break begins, some schools require students to complete summer projects. These projects are to make sure students continue their education outside of school. When teachers design the projects, students are more challenged with the work they are given. However, a student-designed project is a much better choice; Students are more likely to do the work designed by them, students will have less of a hard time, and students will feel less stressed rather than having to do a more challenging project.
A project designed by a teacher can be dreadful enough, let alone the fact that the project is over break. Student-designed projects are more likely to be completed due to the simple fact that the work would be more enjoyable for students. When a student gets work that they are able to enjoy, they will complete it. Most teachers do not give out work that a student could enjoy, they just give out boring work. Some students enjoy the work when there are more interactive activities within the project, and some students do not get much done when it is just the work itself.
When students enjoy the work, that means they are not having a hard time understanding and completing what needs to be done. Students feel good and more confident in the work they do when they understand what they are doing. If a student has a hard time comprehending what is being taught, they tend to become indecisive and would choose to not turn their work in. Student can be nervous at times, like when they want to ask for help. Most students just try to either figure out work themselves or just not do the work. Making the projects student-designed can help students be more confident when it is on work they do not have a hard time on. Students work better on work they are confident on, and on work they know they are capable in doing.
School can stress a lot of children out. Making them continue doing work can add on to their stress if it is something they feel incapable of doing. Giving students the choice of designing their project can give them the benefit of the doubt, because the project is still what the school wants but just at the rate of what the student can do. Stress should not be something a school wants their students to have.
Summer break is the time for students to enjoy themselves. Students should at least have the choice on how their project is designed. All year the teachers had a say on what their work would consist of. The students should have a project they could enjoy doing, and not feel forced to do a project they would have a hard time on.

8C4C4B2F2366,"Everyday we see people getting advice from others. People always go to multiple people to get advice on their problems. Getting different opinions can help you by seeking another perspective, how will they respond to it, and what they feel about the situation. Some ideas are better than one.
A person who goes to multiple people get a different perspective on their problems. Seeking different perspective is a good idea because people are saying the opposite things based on what the others had said. For example, I have a friend who ask different people for advice because it can help her on the situation her friend is in. My friend went to all the people who could help her, and she ask for advice on what can she do to help her bestfriend stop being depressed. Each person had a different perspective on the situation. One of the people who helped her said,""You can take your bestfriend on a walk to clear her mind."" The other person said,""You can have a sleep over at your house, so she can have fun."" Each person perspective is very different and that's why you can ask different people on how to handle the situation.
Getting advice from multiple people can help you because you can see how will they respond to it. Sometimes people go see how others will respond on their problem. For instance, I go ask my mom and dad a question on a problem and I will see how they will respnd to it. I asked, ""When people are in a relationship, why are they constantly fighting all the time?"" My mom was the first to answer and she said,""Why are you asking that question?"" Then my dad was the second to respond and he said, "" I do not know how to answer that."" Each person you ask, has a different response.
The last thing about asking advice from others is how will they feel about it. Feelings from others are very different because no one has the same feelings about something. In addition, my cousin goes around asking people, ""Why do people on earth do different things than others."" One person she had ask said,""I just think they trying to get attention."" The other person she ask said,"" People just act the way they are."" Each person have different feelings everyday. Some people have good days and others have bad days. So no one has the same feelings about something.

4.28E+11,"Driverless cars can sound like a wonderful idea to most people, knowing they won't have to drive themselves anywhere anymore. They may even think that since it's driverless they can just sit there and play on their phone, not paying attention to anything on the road. Is that really as safe as they say it will be?

If that were in every car you buy now, I dont think we would even need driverless cars. That little modification to a car can make a big difference.

In the driverless cars, a system would be powering and driving your car. What if that system malfunctions and/or has a glitch? Would it be the individuals fault or the manfacturers fault? This question has many different answers from different individuals. My answer would be that it would be the cars fault. It's not the individuals fault that the car had a huge malfunction in the system, it's the company's fault. The individual wasn't even driving the car to begin with. Now, if they make it to where the person can still control the car while the system is driving it, that's a different story.

I am a student at your school pondering about should student should play sports if they have a B average well, i' m against that reason. Saying sports make some students better at school. One reason is that students that play sports manage their time better than people who do not play sports because, students who do play sports or have other after school activities have more on their plates than others, they have to practice, they have to have homework, and they maybe have to help their mothers with their baby brothers.
My second reason is that people who play sports have better grades for example people who do play sports the coaches support them at everything they even help them with their home work take it from me I have seen it myself the coaches even come to the class room to check up on their players not just their star players but every player!
Another reason is that people who never played sports our nervous they do not no what to expect but their team mates have their back every step of the way and encourage them to move on and don't quit or give up they help them move on.
Also talent scouts can help them get it into new colleges so they will not be on the streets, being in jail, or somewhere else who know' s what will happen to them. I have experienced good sportsmanship myself so

BDEEF1C21803,"Dear, TEACHER_NAME
I'm against the possible policy change because most students have a grade average of a c. I'm against this because most student learn different ways so for some students its easy and for others its hard. This happens because everybody mind frames are not the same as others some are more advanced than others are and some are much more slower than the others. With this being said most of the people on a sports team average a b or c because its hard to maintain a grade with all of that on your hands.
If this new policy is made this might bring down most of the athlete's of our school because their average is right at a c or a little higher. This will stress the children out because they will be worrying about their grades and performance as a player. This may stop children from joining a sports team because they know they can't manage their grades and a sport so they just don't try at all because they are discourage by their bad grades. Sport teams will become smaller and smaller because of this policy about the grades because some people can't take trying to handle two things at one time our even the basic work. This may cause for schools to cancel sports all together.
The reason why im against this is because this isn't fair towards the students because everyone isn't made to be smart or dumb but they are here for a reason and the reason mite be for sports. That would be unfair for only smart people to play sports just because you can't make the grade doesn't mean you can't participate in the sports of your school.

The opportunity to go to school is one that should never go overlooked, especially when there are people around the world who are denied the chance for education. As Americans, we are incredibly lucky to be able to attend schools in our developing years. Online school is a growing trend across the country. In my county, one can take a class or two online throughout the school year. Some people use this as an opportunity to get ahead on graduation requirements; others use it to clear up space in their schedule. Regardless of why people choose online school, it is a wonderful opportunity for students to have. Students would benefit from the opportunity to take online classes because some kids have a tough personal life, online classes teach responsibility, and the world is quickly evolving into the technological age.
Sometimes life throws curve balls at you. It is impossible to predict what will come next. At any moment, someone could be diagnosed with a medical ailment that takes them out of school. When this happens, the opportunity to learn is stripped away from a child. With the inclusion of a program that allows students to attend class while not being on campus, these kids can still have the chance to continue on with their studies. Another example would be a child dealing with mental illness. As a person diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety, I know what it is like to feel too scared and too low to leave your house. During my sophomore year of high school, my father suffered a stroke. My world was completely shaken up, and the last thing I wanted to do was go to school. The combination of my turbulent home life and my raging mental illness caused me to spend many days out of school. I fell behind, and my grades suffered the consequences. This led me to fall into a deeper hole of mental illness; not even my grades were going well. Taking things day by day, I've done a lot of healing. I come to school most days, and my grades are as good as they've ever been. With this being said, I still have my struggles with mental illness. My family, along with the help of my doctors, has been pushing for the county to allow me to finish off high school through online school. This process has not been easy, but I am very lucky to be in an area where online classes are already offered. I am not the only teenager with mental illness, so I am sure there are other kids going through this. If more schools had a virtual classroom opportunity, it would help thousands of children in the long run.
Taking an online class requires a level of discipline that not all students have. You are in charge of logging into class, doing the homework, and making sure you understand the material. Being able to take an online class would teach many kids responsibility, and it would also instill a strong work ethic. If you didn't pass the class, you wouldn't get the credit. I feel like many students could learn from the opportunity to be in charge of their class. This prepares for college, where there is consequence for missing class. When kids are too used to relying on their teachers to keep them on track, it can lead to bad habits and poor work ethic. Because of this, online school should be an option to more students.
There are many people who do not agree with the idea of online schooling. The most prominent concern would have to be that the internet does not allow for the hands on, intimate learning experience one can get from sitting face to face with a teacher. It is proven that the best way to retain information is to write it down, pen to paper. Though this is true, it is important to take into account that the world around us is changing. As we move through the 21st century, more and more of our surroundings are digital. I myself have experienced a major shift in the school system; most of my school work is completed on my county issued Chrome Book, for example. The library is full of E-Books, companies do their work online, and there are jobs centered entirely around being on a computer all day. It is evident that there is a climate emergency on Earth, and the use of paper is not helping. Online classes would reduce the amount of paper waste schools go through, and would also limit the amount of paper needed. This has a positive impact on the environment, and I think it is important to take these things into account.
Overall, it is clear to see that there are major benefits found in an online school system. Students can benefit from the ability to stay in school, even when life gets tough. They can also learn what it means to be responsible, and practice living in our world of technology. For these reasons, I believe that schools should offer an online learning program.",,859,Distance learning,Independent,Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing.

FE40A50DF994,"My name is Luke Bomberger, and I just got back from an amazing trip from being a Seagoing Cowboy.
I got to help animals recover from World War ll, and this trip was an amazing, and beautiful adventure. This program is hard work, and I know that some people aren't interested in helping animals, or working hard.
But, this is a really good program that I want to tell you about.
Maybe by the end of this article you will be convinced to join this program with me.
What did I have to do on this trip you ask? I had to help animals recover from World War ll.
This was a fun job, because even though this was hard work the animals are fun to play around with. If you don't take this job those animals won't have any body to take care or play around with them.
I know some of you don't really care for animals, but what's better: watching you favorite Tv show or helping poor animals recover from World War ll ?
The animals are a great part of this experience, but do you want to know what I really loved about this trip? I adored all of the tourist attractions on my way to China, and the great experience this was.
The cattle-boat trips were unbelievable for a small-town boy like me.
Seeing the Acropolis in Greece was special.
I loved the gondola ride in Venice Italy, it was beautiful to see the streets of water.
When I toured that excavated castle in Crete, and marveled at the Panama Canal on my way to China, it was amazingly beautiful.
I was bored with my high school job, so I took this job.
I was not bored anymore.

160D4AE46A61,"Dear TEACHER_NAME,
I believe that students should be able to play sports even if their grade is below a B. I think the students should get to play unless they are failing. School sports is a great way to get kids out and about. A lot of kids in our school don't get enough exercise which leads to obesity. School sports also boost a lot of kids self esteem which helps with their social life, and its makes them have more confidence with in themselves. Grades do matter a lot but this is a chance to get kids up and school sports don't last the whole year, they just last for a few months. Which in the mean time gives the kids a chance to bring up their grades. I think if kids have a C but they are trying their best you shouldn't hold them back from doing something that they love.
I think that doing school sports could decrease the amount of obesity at our school, but if some of those obese kids have a C or lower then there's no way for them to get exercise if they don't do healthy activities at home, this is giving them a chance to get up and chance themselves to become a healthier person. You shouldn't stop them from participating in something that is a healthy choice and a great opportunity to participate in a school activity.
Also kids who feel like they don't fit in really would enjoy doing school sports because they get the chance to experience working with new people and making new friends. i think that they enjoy going from hardly being noticed at all to being one of the starts on the basketball team. They will be happier and feel better about themselves because just something simple like that can make a huge difference to a kids feelings. Grades shouldn't matter if it is making someone feel good about themselves.
In conclusion i think that you should reconsider your idea. I believe kids need the chance to experience making new friends and feeling good about themselves. Also kids need to be active. So many kids are getting fat these days because they sit and pay video games, or eat junk food and watch television. School sports will help with all of that. Grades shouldn't matter as long as the students are passing all of their classes.
Thanks.

8799ED61A608,"It should come as no surprise that the secret to scholarly success is to stay one step ahead of the competition. Recognizing this, many schools have opted to assign summer course work to ensure their students start the next year strong. However, they often face the dilemma over whether these assignments should be designed by teachers or by the students themselves. Despite the possibility of kids slacking off, student-driven summer work will prepare students for a future in their chosen field and ease the stressful workloads of both teachers and students alike.
The stress of a high school environment is all but increasing, and has been for decades. This trend has been documented extensively over the years, and all these studies sum up to high-schoolers, on average, being exhausted, overworked and overall unhappy on a daily basis. Teachers are not spared either, as they face the same struggles their students deal with day in and day out, often for no more than a substandard salary to say the least. Therefore, it makes sense for schools to do anything in their means to ease the burdens of a rigorous academic climate. One of the best ways to go about this would be to allot responsibilities of designing summer work from teachers to their students.
Another advantage of this proposition is that students will be able to take control of their own educational futures. The thought and effort they put into their summer work will directly manifest itself in their scores. Those who perform poorly will score poorly, whereas those who take it seriously will reap the rewards. This is the best way for teachers to measure the academic integrity of a class, allowing them to hone in on students who need assistance the most over the coming school year. As an added benefit, students will be pushed to learn other essential skills such as time management and independence which will certainly come into play later on in their lives.
Perhaps most important of all, students will have the opportunity to pursue an area of study of their choice. An individualized approach tailored for and by each student on their own is sure to make learning a more enjoyable and productive experience. In contrast, a standardized assignment designed to fulfill the needs and wants of each unique individual in a class at once amounts to nothing but stress, frustration and apathy towards what could have been an indispensable tool for students' future careers.
The advantages of a student-driven summer project far outweigh the potential pitfalls of such a program.
Those who would be inclined to laze their way out of assignments will find ways to avoid doing work no matter what, so why impede the success of the majority due to the inevitable actions of the few? Hopefully soon enough academic institutions will come to their senses and adopt such policies which provide unlimited benefit to all involved.",,481,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

3389995864AB,"In the article ""Driverless Cars Are Coming,"" the author presents both positive and negative aspects of driverless cars. After reviewing this article, I have formed an opinion of being for the development of these cars. They will create a more efficient traffic system, the cars are safe therefore creating safer roads, and even though the car is doing most of the work, humans still have full control over the vehicle.
Many car companies have discovered different ways to improve traffic efficiency. For example, ""In 2013, BMW announced the development of ""Traffic Jam Assistant."" The car can handle driving functions at speeds up tp 25 mph, but special touch sensors make sure the driver keeps hold of the wheel."" This creation was designed to imrpove traffic drastically.
Driverless cars are proven to be safe by many research programs. With it's motion dection sensors and human-brain-like technology, self-driven cars could not be more cautionary. A lot of the technology is very advanced, for example from Google, ""it [the car's feature] uses laser beams to form a constantly updating 3-D model of the car's surroundings.""
Creating a full view of anything the car should be aware of in it's surroudings.
The thought of eventually having no control over today's advanced techology scares many people, however, with the self-driving driverless cars that is not something to be worried about. Although the car does do a lot of the work, incase of an emergency or in any case where only the skills a human mind can surpass, the people in the car have full control over the vehicle. ""They can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves, but all are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills, such as navigating through work zones and around accidents,"" says BMW.
To conclude, I believe that supporting self-driving driverless cars will improve our future for the better. Whether its because of increasing traffic efficiency or creating safer roads. Also, knowing that humans will still have access to all controls having to do with the car, why wouldn't the human race want to acquire driverless cars?",,345,Driverless cars,Text dependent,"In the article “Driverless Cars are Coming,” the author presents both positive and negative aspects of driverless cars.

Working from home would be very beneficial to Generic_Name, because he wouldn't have to worry about being around other people the whole day, which is a big part of his anxiety.
Generic_Name had always been an outstanding student, until her mother got into a horrible accident paralyzing her. Her mother isn't allowed out of the house unless she is with a trusted and trained adult for this type of situation. Generic_Name has taken care of her everyday since the accident happened. Her grades were suffering and she would always fall asleep in class, because she would stay up all night to make sure her mother was okay. Going to school everyday for 8 hours makes her very anxious and forces her to text her mother all day to check in. If she was home-schooled, she would be able to be with her mother all day, and still be able to succeed academically.
Some would argue that kids need to be exposed to social situations at a young age and that it benefits them to be forced into socializing. While this is valid, it's still very stressful to have to do something you don't want to do or aren't comfortable with. In addition to that, the students might become lazy and not do all the schoolwork they're assigned when they're at home. They could easily get distracted and not complete what they're supposed to. They need to have people around them to encourage them to get everything done on time and accurately.
Overall, having to go to school everyday is very stressful for kids with busy lives, disabilities, or that just can't handle all of the pressure that is put on them on a daily basis. Public schools are just too much for young people to handle at such a vulnerable place in their lives. They should be out enjoying their childhood instead of being forced into going to some place they probably hate everyday. Kids can still get their education without having to physically go to school and be uncomfortable for twelve years of their life. Homeschooling is beneficial to everyone and should be more common and accessible.

Dear Principal,
I understand why you are reconsidering our school's cell phone policy. I know it can be extremely distracting to have someone texting or talking on the phone behind you. I believe that cell phones should not be completely banned from the school, but to let students use them during free time or lunch periods.
Students should at least be able to have their cell phones in their free time because of many reasons like athletics or extracurricular activities. If cell phones are banned from the school, students that are members of teams or clubs might need to call their parents to tell them what time to pick them up or even to tell a parent or guardian that they have a game or meeting after school.
If students have a study hall then I think they should be able to have their cell phones. Many students just roam the hallways during their study halls. It would be just as beneficial to have them sitting at a table texting or checking their e-mail online.
Lunch periods are a time for students to talk to their friends. If they could have a cell phone during that time they could talk to other friends from different schools. They could also be available to call a parent to ask for lunch money or a project they forgot at home.
There are many benefits to having cell phones during students' free time or lunch period. It is important to kids to stay in touch with all of their friends and if cell phones were available, they could do that. I do not think that having cell phones in certain times of the day would distract students from their studies. I think it would just give them a time to take a break from studies for a few minutes. It would help them focus more on their schoolwork during class instead of wondering how many new text messages they have received. I hope this letter has made an impact on your decision. Thank you.

The Viking 1 captured a mesa land formation that resembled a face not a martian made artifact. In 1998 a MOC team captured a picture that proved the ""Face"" was a mesa land form. Then agian in 2001 another team captured a picture of the mesa with a Mars Global Surveyor agian NASA came to the conclusion it was a mesa.
In 1976 a Viking 1 camera captured a bone chilling picture of what looks like a face. As scientists studyed the picture they came to the conclusion that it was an oddly formed mesa that resembled a human face. After they let the picture out to the public the popularity of this mesa sky rocketed it haunted the world for twenty five years before NASA did another expadition to prove it was a mesa.
In 1998 a GOC team captured a picture of this so called face. After further exsamination NASA found the face to be a land form commonly known as a mesa. After studying the mesa the group of scientists compaired the face to mesas in Cydonia, the area the face was found, they came to the conclusion the face was really a mesa that had a peculiar formation.
Then agian in 2001 skeptics lead NASA to do another expadition to capture another picture of the phonomanon. After finding the same evidince as they had the past two times NASA ruled it a mesa. Skeptics had no way of saying the face was anything but a mesa. NASA had proven it three times there was no denying it, the face was a land formation that was rather common were the pictures were taken.
Now NASA could be wrong the pictures could have been edited to contain the secret that there was life on mars. NASA could have tampered with the photographs to mislead the public. But life on mars would be good for NASA, the fact that we are not alone would get NASA the funding to start all kinds of expaditions that would help the United States in the Space race to mars. If there was life on mars NASA would have trillions of dollars to fund there research on the planet. This proves that NASA's findings were correct that the face is a mesa that looks oddly like a human face.
After reading this you should realise the face is nothing more than a mesa land formation that was blown out of preportion. The media took a simple fact and turned it into a alien artifact this concludes the fact that the face was a naturally formed mesa nothing less nothing more.

7172C3C82401,"Many people or specially teenager around the world does not have the opportunity to go to the school because some of them need to work to pay their bills and what they need. This is a great idea for all of those teenager because they can be able to attend classes from their home and learn after work,but the mos important thing is that they should get education. In my opinion is too bad for those teenager who have the opportunity to have their parents which means that they pay all their bills and what they need. For those teenager is bad idea because they have all the time to go to the school and learn faster than those who did not have the opportunity.
First, for those teenager who live in the United State is very difficult to attend the school because some of them came here to work. However, they have the age to be and attend the school but they were to force to work because most of them support their family in their country. In my opinion this offer that some schools are giving is an amazing idea because now they can learn from home by online or video conferencing. The school is very important for the human becuase nowaday if you have more education your value is higher but if you don't have education in this country your value is very low. Therefore, these people need to make good use of these big opportunity because if they achieve to get education they will get a better job,too.
Next, life is very weird sometimes because the people who is attending the school they does not want to go to the school and all of those who doesn't have the opportunity they want to attend the school. I had have the opportunity to meet guys than they have everything what they want but they do not like the school because they prefer to go to another place to smoke,drink alcohool or something like that. they are getting bad habit. Furthermore, they are leaving the time to pass and wasting it and then, for those guys is reallybad idea because they have all the time to learn faster than others.
Finally, the eduacation is very important for everybody because with education you can get a better job and also to get a better future. In my case, I really struggling with school because I work and attend the school so, I know that it is very hard to do both things at the same time but at the end I know that I will be a successful man and that's why I never give up I just have my head up and I trusth in God that he is giving me strenght to keep working hard and I will get my diploma. After that first God I will keep working for my future.
In conclusion, all the opportunity that come from us is fine because the opportunities just come one time. This opportunity that some schools are given to the students is really good because when they get sick and they can not go to the school they can do it from their house and do not loss classes and be able to be really with the classes. As before I say the education is very important to achive goals in life. For those guys who does not have the opportunity to attend school
I just could say that they need to strunggle very hard. In life nothing is impossible if god close doors is because he is going to open another one much better.

1FA0FEE9D92E,"Dear principal,
The change in the sports policy is very naive, and it will not bring up student's grades, but bring down the performance of the sports teams. Some students who are talented at sports have a hard time with schoolwork, and getting a C is the best that they can do. A C is average, and if a student is average then it doesn't make sense to punish them. I think if a child can excel at both then we should encourage them to do so, but we must be reasonable. The coaches should realize that schoolwork comes first, and most coaches do, but the teachers can't expect an average student to do better work than they can possibly do before they participate in an activity that they care about. School should be about helping the students excel in all areas of life, and extracurricular activities help them to be well rounded, and gain confidence in themselves. The students are the politicians and scientists of tomorrow, but they are also the future sports stars, artists, and writers. If you cut a student who is doing their best at school then you will lose a athlete, and gain nothing from it.

06DDAA4EB60C,"Dear, Principle
I disagree with the new school policy you are trying to change because it isn't fair to the students of your school. It isn't fair that you want to change the sports activity unless these students have a grade B average. Many of the students that are involved in these sports activity have a grade C average. If they don't have a grade B average they are not allowed to participate in these school activities. It would be very hard for them to keep up with a B average for the rest of the year.
Not many students would be able to be in these after school activities because of their grade average. You wouldn't have that many students in your sports activity either if they don't have a B average. It's not fair to change the school policy now that you only have a C average.
These students who are in these activities would not be able to be in them anymore. Some students might be very good at some sports and they would not be able to join because of the new school policy you are trying to be approved.
If you do change it, it won't be fair to the other students who try to keep that average and still be able to be in the schools activities. For some students it take a while to learn a new topic and they might be really good at something else. They would not know because they wouldn't be able to try out for that sport. They might even have a C average and they wouldn't be able to be in that sports because they might have not succeeded at having a B average.
For other students they are not just good at sports; some have a talent at other things like art. But they would not be able to at least try to be in an art club because you have change the school policy. Only students that really good at their school work would be able to join these activities that they are good at.
Once again if you do change this new school policy you would be unfair to the students and you would not be giving them a chance by not letting them participate at what they might be best at the most. For some students they might not have been able to keep such a high average for these students.

2C276911E448,"Summer projects must be designed by teachers or the whole thing will be pointless. It is said there are many contraversial points that would lead folks to not taking a side on whether students should design summer projects, or if teachers should. However, projects need to be designed and assigned by teachers because it will set the standard of validation, express uniqueness and diversity, and reduce chances of cheating.
First, having summer projects designed by teachers sets the tone on what the outcome should look like and how well a student must do. This prevents student's from simply waiting until the last week of summer and sloppily making a project that is eventually accepted by a teacher. Also, this action will assure the continued process of students learning while on summer break. The whole point of summer projects is so the students keep their minds fresh and ready for the next year, and If the students design the projects, that may not happen.
Next up, teachers will find expressions of uniqueness and diversity in the results they recieve from the students. Every kid is different, and a teacher should be able to recognize that kids best interests and strongest characteristics. With that being known, teachers can design and assign summer projects accordingly. With every kid either working on a project that includes something they are comfortable with, or something they might need to work on more to be successful. This also reveals the different mindsets and creative skills a classroom holds, while a student designed project may just be basic and super boring.
Last, the amount of cheating is bound to decrease when projects are designed by students. If a kid designed his own project over a span of a couple months, there's a big possibility he may cheat. These kids may also ""accidentally"" choose the same topic to work on all summer. There are endless possibilities and ways for a students to get away with the easy way out. Which is why, when a teacher assigns different topics and types of projects to a wide variety of students, it reduces cheating. This ultimately does help the students learn how to try new things, even if they aren't familier with it.
Although this may be true, many believe that when teachers assign and or design summer projects for students, it will come out boring and no fun. People also believe it won't bring out the creative side in a student. But, the understanding of a student being creative and crafty is how they handle something that is thrown at them. The creativeness that lies in a student is how they can transform something out of their interest into something they can enjoy. Teacher designed projects bring out the capability of a kid and what that kid can truly do.
All in all, summer projects are genuinely more productive and useful when designed by a teacher. It gives the students a chance to be creative and show unique skills, reduces the amount of unloyal actions such as cheating and working together, and it sets the standard for a student to meet. To all teachers who will read this, I advise you to keep the power in your hands. Bring out that student's inner strengths and challenge that student. One day, that student will thank you for not letting them take the easy way out.",,558,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

Driving is a privilege because of the inherent risk and responsibility we all need to assume out on the road. When you choose to text and drive, you're threatening every single driver around you and placing more value on that text message than yourself and your fellow drivers.
It can be hard to grasp the dangers of texting and driving, but once you know the facts, this hazardous habit starts to become a reality. When you're engulfed in a texting conversation, it's easy to forget you're sharing the road with other people. In just the 5 seconds it takes to send or read a short text message, you've already zoomed past the length of a football field with minimal attention on the road ahead. Would you want a family member or friend to be on the road with someone so oblivious to the traffic around them? Remember, every time you get behind the wheel, you're entering a shared experience with mothers, fathers, friends, and children.
No driver wants to think about being responsible for a traffic accident that takes his or her own life or the lives of other motorists or pedestrians. Nevertheless, most drivers still use their cell phones while operating their vehicle. While taking a phone call is dangerous enough, the advent of text messaging made cell phones even more incompatible with driving a car. Reading or sending a text or email takes both eyes off of the road, your mind off the task of driving, and sometimes both hands off the wheel.
When you're behind the wheel, you should always be considerate of other drivers and remember you're putting your life at risk while texting and driving.

Could you live with the knowledge that your decision to pick up your phone while operating a vehicle caused someone to suffer a life-altering injury or be killed?
While driving, you should always be focused on getting from point A to point B. Having any kind of mobile device in your hand while driving puts your life at a major risk.

A89EDCE829DA,"Why exactlly should one spend there time in the Seagoing Cowboy program? Being in the Seagoing Cowboy program is a progam you should participate in. Just think about the many horses and cows that are harmed and need our after help after a war. This experience is a great one and you should try it.
Traveling is a big part of this amazing program, you get to see so many many historic sites and arcitecture. Being able to cross the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean by boat is pretty cool. One of the times this was used was in 1945 after World War II ended in Europe. Also in 1945 the Seagoing Cowboys helped after the Pacific War had ended.
After world War II ended many countries were ruined to help fix this 44 nations joined together to form the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA). This is also a very good way to help in a fun way. The Seagoing Cowboy program saves many animals who would have else not made it through that deadly war or natural disaster. This is the program made for people who love animals. There are always cows or horses on board that are being rescued.
There is always work to be done as well. So, if your strong and like to work that could be a plus. Haybales and grain always need brought up from lower holds of the ship. Stalls always need cleaned and there is always work to be done. Sometimes you can catch a break on the way to another port and then you can relax.
So why should you join the Seagoing Cowboy program? Well for one reason, your helping so many animals and people too.

2E161B99DEE3,"So many planets to choose from. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to visit one? What about living there? Me too! The planet Venus could possibly be our next home. It has said that Venus still has Earth like feautures, Samples can be removed from the planet and with improvement of the rovers and other crafts they could gather more information to make living there possible. In the article the author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents, and in this essay I will go further into depth about how that is a true.
Astronomers are so fascinated with the with the planet Venus, considering that the planet possibly could have been the most Earth-like planet in the solar system. According the article it states that,"" Long ago, Venus was porbably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth. Today, Venus still has some features that are analogous to those on Earth. The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar feautures such as valleys, mountains, and craters. Furthermore, recall that Venus can sometimes be our nearest option for a planetary visit."" This shows that Venus could have possibly been just like earth years ago , but still has those same Earth traits left behind. These left over sources can make for surviving on the planet.
NASA has also come up with a possible solution for sending human life to the Earth-like planet with out being in danger. According to the article it states that,"" Imagine a blimp-like vehicle hovering 30 or so miles above rolling Venusian landscape. Just as our jet airplanes travel at a higher altitude to fly over many storms, a vehicle hovering over Venus would avoid the unfriendly ground conditions by staying up and out of their way. At thirty-plus miles above the surface, temperatures would still be toasty at around 170 degrees Farenheit, but the air pressure would be close to that of sea level on Earth. Solar power would be plentiful, and radiation would not exceed Earth levels. Not easy condtions, but survivable for humans."" This shows that NASA is trying to create a reinovation that could help humans survive the hostile conditions of Venus.
Many researchers are working on innovations that would allow the machines to last long enough to gather sources from Venus. According to the article it states that, ""Some simplified electronicas made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of Venus's surface and have lasted for three weeks in such conditions. Another project is looking to an old technology called mechanical computers. These devices were first divisioned in the 1800's and played an important role in the 1940's during World War II. The thought of computers existing in those days may sound shocking, but these devices make calculations by using gears and levers and do not require electronics at all. Modern computers are enormously powerful, flexible, and quick but tend to be more delicate when it comes to extreme physical condtions. Just imagine exposing a cell phone or tablet to acid or heat capable of melting tin.
By comparison systems that use mechanical parts can be made more resistant to pressure, heat, and other forces."" This shows that researchers are searching for a stronger metal or material that can widthstand the pressure and heat of Venus when landing , so that they can gather information.
In conclusion the authors suggestion that ""Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers is presents"" is evaluated thoroughout the article by him explaining that Venus could have been just like Earth decades ago and it still has those same Earth traits, there could be a possible solution for humans to fly over Venus while being able to survive the critical conditions of the planet, and making it clear that researchers are searching for a new material that could widthstand the extreme conditions.

B3BBBAE51416,"Dear Mr. Principle,
We as students both like and do not like community service. At times, we might enjoy it because it helps us feel important and useful in our community. At other times, we don't like it because it does require a lot of time and some of us do not have that kind of time. We have things to do like; Homework, chores, cleaning sometimes projects and everyone has other things to do that not everyone does. Other students however, are just plain lazy. During their day all they do is lay around and watch television and play video-games and use there cell phones. This is a very hard decision to make on weather students should or should not be required to do community service.
I think that students should be required to do at least some community service. It helps build friendships, love, respect, and decency. Kids nowadays don't do anything to help their fellow man. They rely too much on other people/things doing it for them. I think that it would help better kids' relationship amongst each other and help better the relationship among human beings. By making kids do community service, they will understand that they cannot rely on machines working for them and they will learn important moral values. This, over time, will lead to a beautiful America filled with; Love, Friendship, and no pain and poverty.
What will happen if students don't do community service. There will continue to be hate and racism and wars over who is better. The education of children will lower because they rely on machines and technology to work for them and do their work and they will not learn anything. They will eventually do nothing and we will be over ruled by technology. Children will not be able to make friendships amongst each other creating hate and violence. Hate and violence go hand in hand and eventually creating a stupid and pointless war. This will lead to unnecessary death of our youth. Forgive me for exaggerating the truth a bit but this is true and a possible future for America.
In conclusion, it would be a terrific idea for kids to do community service. community service will strengthen our friendship, our moral values and help those who are in need. Imagine a world where everyone can get along and there is no pain or suffering. Isn't that beautiful?
How can we get to this you ask? We can start with making our youth do community service and help the less fortunate in reaching a healthy and safe future.

if a students take these extra activity's, If a kid dosn't want to do it then don't force them to, if a kid is doing a sport out side of school they should not have to do a sport in school and make them quit there sport that they are already doing one, it could over work the students.
If a student dosn't want to do the extracurricular activity's then why do you have to force them to do it. If you force the student to do it then they wont try if they don't like the thing there doing and fail. students should have the ability to chose whether or not to chose a extracurricular activity because if they dont want to do it they dont have to.

F63F47E95B90,"First of all studying venus isn't a bad idea wanting to explore the deepest point of venus can change history and life, we can figure out many secrets that venus has and what kind of life form could be on venus because in every planet their's always something that hasn't been discovered. Venus is a planet that will soon be explored NASA has been sending spacecrafts to land on venus but they still don't make it,
For three decades many factors contribute to venus reputation and has been a challenge for humans to study, even thoe 97 percent of carbon dioxide blankets venus and clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in venus atmosphere and a temperature of 800 degrees fahrenheit and atmospheric pressure that is 90 times greater than what we expirence on earth those conditions are way to extreme that humans don't encounter that on earth
Another reason why it should be studied more and have future plans that someday people from NASA will land is that because many astronomers believe that venus may have once been the most earth-like planet in our solar system and that venus was onced probably covered largely with oceans and could've been many forms of life in venus many many years ago.
Many scientist are looking for a way to get samples of rocks,gas,or anthing else that they can use to find out more about venus but they cannot do that. many researchers are working on innovations that will allow machines to last longer so they can get enough samples for them.

DD0F3E7B4DDE,"If you want good advice would you rather have the good advice because of multiple people's ideas or be lazy and only ask one person for advice and it will be a more likely a mediocre opinion. When asking for multiple opinions on a subject you most likely can thrive in what the advice was for. When people ask for advice,they often talk to multiple people because of better opinions,different ideas,and most people when asking for advice they would not be lazy and ask multiple people.
When people are asking for advice,they often talk to multiple people because they might have a better opinion because they could have thought of something that you have not come up with and that could help them majorly or it could help them in a minor way but it still helps them. When I ask for advice I want to find a common idea throughout all the people I ask because that could a common and a better way to do the thing I am asking for. The opinion could be smarter and move thought out because people give different advice. When giving advice you tell them most of the time what you would do in there situation and based on your experiences that makes your answer. When you are getting opinions you can build trust with that because they can use there advice and it works they can now depend on your judgments on certain things or maybe everything depending on the person. In my experience when I use the advice that a person has given to me it helps form a bond because I know I can trust that person with there judgment on that certain subject. In conclusion when people ask for your advice, they will most of the time talk to another person about it also but they do it so they can get a better opinion because of people thinking of something you haven't,smarter or more efficient opinions,and can build trust with a person because they give you a better opinion.
When people ask for advice,they often talk to multiple people because everybody might have different ideas or opinions. When getting different ideas it can help you because you can see in a new and different perspective and a new outlook and there advice could mean something totally different then what you thought it meant. When I learned about a new perspective I looked at different things in two perspectives and now if people ask for advice then I become more versatile became of the depth I have in this area and I can look at it two ways. There is always another method and that is to combine both ideas and or opinions together to make one really good piece of advice. If I were to combine two ideas that are both good the opinions on it will not be the same as having one piece of good advice because of the value each one has and the importance that each one has and combining two good piece of opinions together they advice can give more help and is going to be a efficient and it will be better advice. When you start combining opinions together it starts to become a habit and it will be a good work habit because when you are working in groups you can get better feedback to the bettering of the group. When I started asking for different opinions in group work or group projects it helped me better than someone else just doing it for me then the group has different ideas thriving and making it a successful project or piece of work we are doing. In closing when people ask for opinions, they often talk to multiple people because they want different ideas and or opinions because they can get a new perspective,they can combine ideas,and they can create good working habits.
People think that just one person is enough to ask for advice but what if the advice is not good and it very one sided or a mediocre advice? If you ask for advice and the advice is not good then asking only one person is a lose-lose situation and then you start to lose trust in that person because of the failed advice and then something might happen since the advice has failed. If you ask multiple people what they say you can combine your's and there's and have a more than decent advice then have a set up to fail advice. If you are being lazy and only asking one person for advice it is more of a lose-lose situation then a win-win situation because of the failure that is awaiting you and even if the advice works it will not work as well as asking multiple people for the same advice. I have only asked one person for advice before and the advice ended up not working and then something bad happened after because of only asking one person and evidently I found out that asking more people is more efficient and better than asking only one. In summary when people act lazy and only ask one person instead of asking more there is more of a loss then gain and that is why asking the same question to multiple people are efficient.
I believe that you should ask multiple for advice before making your final answer. If you ask for advice you should ask multiple people because of the better opinions,the different ideas,and most of the time people will not be lazy about asking for advice. I believe that when asking for advice for multiple people it helps you understand in different ways and helps you grow on your way of thinking and in a way makes you more knowledgeable.",,954,Seeking multiple opinions,Independent,"When people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person.

I believe that you shouldn't make community service mandatory because some people don't want to do it ,or they don't have enough time to do it.

45BE83DEE3ED,"In the article ""The Challenge of Exploring Venus"", the many risks and rewards of going to Venus are disscused. Venus is the most Earth-like Planet in our solar system and many scientists believe it might have supported life in its past. The author supports their claim that travelling to Venus would be a worthy pursuit very poorly by providing more negatives of Venus-travel than positives.
This poor support of the argument can be seen from second paragraph. The author describes how the unmanned missions to Venus have only been able to survive for a few hours. It is also stated that ""not a single spaceship has touched down on Venus for three decades."" No positive effect or example was used leading to the idea that if even unmanned spacecrafts cannot survive than manned spacecrafts certanly cannot survive. This is an example of how the author does not support the claim well.
In paragraph three, the atmosphere of Venus is explained. Phrases such as ""far more extreme thatn anything humans encounter on Earth,"" and ""such environment would crush even a submarine accustomed to diving to the deepest parts of our oceans and would liquefy many metals"" do not help support the idea that exploring Venus would be a worthy pursuit. If nonliving metals would be liquefied, who knows what would happen to flesh and bone.
In paragraph four and five, positives of Venus travel are finally given. Very quickly after this however the author goes back to the negatives of travel to Venus. One of the only ways of survival on Venus would be using blimp-like vehicles. In paragraph six this way of travel on Venus is exposed becuase ""most forms of light cannot penetrate the dense atmosphere."" This would mean that photographs and videos could not be taken becuase of the lack of light. Also since humans cannot be on Venus's surface, no rocks or samples could be taken. This would make Venus-travel not worth all the risk.
In the very last line of the article, the author wrote, ""Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation."" Risky and dangerous tasks should not be pursued just so that the immagination can be fulfilled but so that humans can gain meaningful insight on life and the universe.

Almost 4,000 drivers were fined for driving with even numbered license plates. Twenty seven people had their car impounded because of their reactions to this fine. Car emissions were cause because of cold nights and warm days. Some people blamed fuel as a tax policy favor diesel over gasoline. Everything was going bad with vehicles and tax policies.
Less cars around the world would cause less problems. There wouldn't as many vehicle fines as there is now with less vehicles.

DF3129DC1969,"Phones and driving
I believe that despite the good that comes out of phones, they also have some serious cons when it comes to driving. 11 teens each day die due to using their phone. Not only are you risking your own life while operating a vehicle while texting, you're also putting other people's lives in danger. Using your phone while driving is a distraction no matter what the situation is. You also never know if the person in front of you could suddenly stop so having your phone out could lead to an unnecessary crash. There are a few reasons why cell phones shouldnt be used while driving. There are just so many dangerous things that could happen that are associated with the use of a cell phone and driving.
Driving decreases the amount of attention you have on the road which increases the amount of crashes. If you are driving 60m/h your car is moving 16 meters per second, so just a few seconds that you dedicate looking at your phone could result in a serious crash. Just reaching for an object like your phone is just as dangerous. The act of a conversation is also still a distraction. The act of a conversation creates a depth of though which takes away from the attention you should have on the road.
Luckily today we have things like apple carplay which you can use for urgent situations which reduces the amount of accidents. Over all, phones should not be used while operating a vehicle and if the situation is so urgent then it's safer to just pull over and take care of the situation. Doing that will reduce the amount of crashes each year. If we learn to prioritize the amount of things done while in a vehicle then it will save so many lives. We all need to understand the real dangers we put ourselves through along with other people while using our phones or any sort of technology while operating a vehicle.

well, some friendships are made by internet, outside activities, and others by being neighbors for a long time, however, the most lasting and common friendships are the ones you made at school. Therefore, you spend hours, days, months, and years being socially with the people around you, but what if you don't want to attend to school, and decide to take classes from home?
At school, you don't only made friends and memories , you also earn and learn good advices, and you see different perspectives.

this is one of the reasons why people doesn't want to attend to school, and choose online classes.

As a student at this school I understand that their have been problems at school involving cell phones and you are interested in changing the policy on cell phone use during the hours of school.
I have looked at each policy and I believe that it is a better option to go with the first policy to allow the students to bring phones to school and let them use them during lunch and other free times.
The reason that I think this plan will work better, is because sometimes students need to call their parents to tell them things and that would not take away from the education that the student receives since it would be on the student's own free time and not in class.
I also believe that the second policy to not let students have cell phones at school could put a student in danger if he or she needed to call for help.

61607C674FA3,"Although the school system has advanced quite far in recent history, there are still plenty of clear problems with the way children receive their education. Many students are constantly stressed out and are not truly learning the material because of it. Additionally, each student may have a different learning style, so it is not helpful to teach them in large groups with the same methods. The recent innovation of FACS (Facial Action Coding System) can be utilized by schools to vastly improve the way children are educated.
Many issues with the education system could be improved upon, if not completely eradicated, with the use of facial recognition technology within classrooms. As mentioned in paragraph 6 in the article, FACS can be used to recognize when a student is confused. Schools could take advantage of this technology to notify teachers when a student is struggling with material, and help them get back on track. This would allow teachers to adapt their teaching style to best suit each student. Furthermore, all different ages of students today are constantly stressed out with the massive workload that is forced upon them each day. One of the many consequences of this is that the students may not actually be learning the material beceause of how focused they are on the responsibilities they have for other classes. A facial recognition system such as FACS could be programmed to detect when a student's facial expression demonstrates stress, and notify the school so they can proactively help the student cope with this stress before the situation worsens. This will help the student relax and focus better.
The potential of this technology is huge, as it could be used to improve every student's life, both inside and outside of school. If schools were to have the ability to help students with any material they don't understand the first time and asist them in coping with or eliminating stress, it would make the experience of going to school much more enjoyable. This would motivate students to do their best to be successful in school, which would drastically improve their life, as well as society in general. If all schools manage to overcome the technical and monetary difficulties of implementing FACS in teaching, it would benefit everybody in many ways.",,377,Facial action coding system,Text dependent,"In the article ""Making Mona Lisa Smile,"" the author describes how a new technology called the Facial Action Coding System enables computers to identify human emotions.

I believe that policy 1 is a better policy because cell phones will keep us busy at times and in the free time we need to still be busy. As long as we don't have them out in class, we should be able to have them, but if any student tries to text or even just have their phone out in class the teacher has every right to take it away. When the teacher takes a phone away she can determine how long she takes it and she can make it were the parents have to come in for the students to get it back. But if we are at lunch the teacher can not take them away. And if we hear about a club or a sport that we want to do while we are at school and if we wait until lunch we could text or call one of our parents so they know about it and we don't have to go down to the front office to borrow that phone.

373296FE6FB4,"Would you ever dream of a taxi cab that has no driver and can drive you around? Google is making cars that require no drivers. Although this is a very neat idea, it is extremely expensive. This idea would work if all of America was urban land and not so many non urban areas. I think driverless cars are one of the biggest wastes of money we have came up with so far.
Driverless cars seems like a good idea and all but i dont think it is necissary. All it does is cost more and more money that does not need to be spent. We would have to buy sensors for all highways across the world which would be extremely expinsive. This is money we do not have and we dont need to spend money on this anyways.
Experts say that the will need roads that are embedded with electrical cables. We also thought of the idea of magnetic roads, but to have magnetic roads that make our cars work we would have to do massive upgrades to our highways. But this is too expensive, so we have to make the cars smarter rather than the roads. To do this we need tons of sensors, a rotating sensor on the roof, and a GPS reciever. All of these also costing a whole lot of money.
Making driverless cars is a bad idea in my opinion, but if experts are set on making them then they probably will. Driverless cars will cost us an enourmous amount of money. They will need to heavily modify highways, cover the cars in all sorts of sensors and cameras, and test them thousands of times to make sure they are safe.

242E9BA55C0C,"Distance learning is an ever-growing way of reaching students that are unable, or unwilling, to attend a traditional school. Creating a way for students to attend classes from home is a very practical and useful innovation, and through it, many students will receive education that they might not otherwise get. By implementing computer learning on in a widespread manner, students from all backgrounds and economic standpoints will be able to learn and succeed. Students will also be able to stay up to date with schoolwork if an illness or other injury prevents them from going to school for long amounts of time. Distance learning can also help those who are unable to access a school, such as rural families.
One of the leading arguments for the cause of widespread poverty in inner cities is poor education programs. In areas such as Generic_City, schools are understaffed and underfunded, leading to very high dropout rates. Families that can afford to, send their children to private schools, often costing thousands of dollars per year. Distance learning could solve this problem. By creating a county wide virtual learning database, students can pursue their education without having to be in school. Although some of these students may not have access to a computer, libraries are available for those driven and determined to better themselves.
There are many cases in which an injury or illness precludes students from going to school. Both physical and mental health issues can result in the inability to attend traditional school. Distance learning could be a lifesaver for these students. By giving them access to lessons, homework, and tests, they are able to stay up to date and current, even if being out of school for several months. Car accidents are a leading contributor to students having to stay home for long periods of time. Injuries to the spine or head can result in limited mobility or capabilities for extended amounts of time. Because of this, students often have to graduate later than planned, which can jeopardize college acceptance and scholarships. Through distance learning, students can stay engaged and up to date with classroom activities, and lessen the impact of missing school for extended amounts of time.
Rural areas in states across the U.S. often have very low standards of education. Due to people living very spread out and secluded from one another, school systems are haphazard and low quality. Students in rural areas also often have to help out with either a farm or a business and are unable to attend school during a traditional school day. This is where distance learning plays a part. Through the use of computers to access video lessons, students can take classes on their own schedule and from their own homes.
Although distance learning seems like an ideal way to learn, there are several downsides to it. One of which is a less flexible curriculum. Due to lessons being in video form, teachers are unable to tailor lessons to fit the needs of particular students or classes. This can lead to students being unresponsive and not being able to learn the material due to the way that it is presented. Because of this, students may have to seek out additional resources to fully understand the material that is being presented to them.
Distance learning is an exciting and innovative form of learning that is being put into place around the world. Through the use of online lessons and videos, students who do not have access to traditional schools are given a chance to learn. Distance learning gives a voice to those who are often overlooked and forgotten, and gives them a way to better themselves and succeed. Though not without it's flaws, distance learning can be very beneficial to students taking classes from home.

77C96D44E42C,"In this essay I will be explaining reason from my own point of view and from the story on why I do not think that these kind of vehicles should be created. I will give and back up my reasons on why I disagree with the making of these cars and also state items that were adressed in the passge that I agree with on why these type of cars should not be manufactured.
I disagree that these type of vehicles should be created for many reasons. The main reason is safety. Sure the cars will be able to drive by them selfs at time but that doesn't mean that they will never make mistakes. On a rainy day say you have the car drive by itself for a bit and you just lean back and relax for an hour or two. At any point between the 1 to 2 hours that car could say malfunction and crash hurting you and any other person inside that care. Weither it is just a little fender bender with another car or you total both of the cars and critically injure someone. My secondary reason is explained in the passage we were given to write about. Technology in cars has been growing in cars for the past couple of years varly rapidly. But as the author of the passage states the technology may not always be reliable of efficient in situatuions. The author also states that they car will have the human driver take control if coming to a constructuin site or a school crossing. What if at this time the human driver fell asleep while letting the car drive itself and doesnt tkae conrtol of the car at the correct time and crashes or hurts somebody.
Another reason I disagree withthe making of these kinds of vehicles is also explained in the passage. In paragraph 7 the author states something that I agree with completely. The author states in this paragraph that say someone let their car start to drive by itself and gets into an accident with another car. WHo is to blame for the accident, the human driver or the manufacturer who built the automatci driving system in the car? If you ask me I would have to say both the human driver and the car manufacture's are to blame. The human driver is to blame because if he or she were to be paying attention to what was going on around them they would have been able to react and see the oncoming car and could have possibly been able to avoid collision with the other vehicle.
Tyring to make cars more technology efficient is going to become a big concernin the furtre I think. Now a days we have things like the in-car phone system which myself and the author of the passage find to be very helpful and adds a little bit better percentage to teh safety of drivers when they are not trying to text and talk on their cell phones while driving. Adding this like self driving and automated brakes to cars can cause more safety issuses because they might not always work every time you try to use them.

Without a phone how would you call 911 if someone have a wreck and need assistance right away? Things always happen when you're on the road, you can only control the way you drive. Not the way others drive.
Most people don't know there way round the whole entire world. It's not fun to be lost. So directions is the key to stay on track. We don't want to stop people on the road to keep asking them questions. You may say ""Why not just use a map""? Maps are confusing for some people. Not everyone is like that though some people rather go old fashion. Also some people might not have extra money to buy a car GPS. If you have an app on your phone for free, why pay money out your pocket?
Weather is important while you're driving. Some weather be to savior to drive in. So checking it frequently is important. Weather can cause accidents and everything. How else you're going to check it while traveling? The radio may tell you but what if you miss, what you are going to do then?
Seeing all should of changed your mind. If not changed your mind it made you rethink things. Just remember using phones while driving is okay. We should be able be to use phones while we are driving.

D8DBF197A624,"Summer break. The most sought after break by any student at any level. Days spent by the pool, hours of hanging with friends, and nights that run into the morning. Summer is where all knowledge learned during the previous year goes down the drain. To counter this, teachers assign summer projects. These projects are normally easy but require much time. Summer projects should be teacher designed because they prepare the student for the next year, the teacher knows what is being taught, and it gives the student a baseline of what he or she knows.
Summer projects are designed by a teacher that the student will have next year. These projects need to incorporate what will happen in the upcoming year. Many first units include what was included in the summer project. Summer projects help student get ready for the new year by giving students an easy, slow paced, and minimal effort project that will help students in the long run. These projects are often worth points and can boost grades when quarters or semesters are ending.
Teachers know what is being taught for the next year. They can design the assignment to reflect what will happen. Students can't do that. They don't know what is going to be taught or how the teacher teaches. If a student were to design the project, they would make it have little to no relation to the upcoming class. Students during the summer are lazy, I speak from experience, and the last thing they want to do is school work. When they design their own work, it is sloppy; lazy; and unrelated to the class.
Lastly, the summer project gives an honest and unbiased evaluation of what the student already knows and what they don't know. The assignment is students' first test, and students can give themselves an honest evaluation of themselves. How much did I have to Google? Did I ask my friends for help? How long did it take me? These are all questions that they can ask themselves. These questions and project will show how much work they will need to put in during the school year.
Some might say that students can prepare themselves better for the school year than the teacher can. They don't need to have the teacher to assign them work. The weakness in that argument is that students are over confident in their abilities on what the know and don't know. As a student in high school, I constantly believe that I am smarter than I truly am. Students will think they know more than they really do and will already be behind before the school year starts.
Teachers design these projects to help and prepare the student. It gives an honest evaluation of students' abilities and knowledge. More teachers should assign summer projects to keep students' brains engaged. This helps them prepare for the next year while also seeing what the teacher wants. The teacher knows the subject better than the student; teachers should assign summer projects not students.

BBDA39C84AF7,"Having different opinions for advice is a good thing. If someone asks multiple people advice on a problem then the outcome would be their is different answers for different people. When they get different answers from different people then they can narrow the most logical answer from the different people. Finding multiple opinions is the best way to correct or enforce your idea or create an idea. That is why having multiple opinions on a subject is a good thing.
If you go up to one of your friends and ask for some advice. Then, you ask someone else about that same advice. After you will probably get a difference in opinions. Although it is good to have multiple opinions your not always going to get a straight answer. like if you ask someone something that they are well knowledge in, and someone who is least knowledge in. Who do you think the best person to ask about that subject is would be. the well knowledge right well not entirely just because they are well knowledge about it does not mean that they are experts in that subject. The less knowledge person could know something that the well knowledge person does not know so that is why having multiple opinions is not entirely good.
When someone gets different opinions on a subject then they will try and narrow the opinions down in a logical manner. Like if someone has 5 candidacies and they ask each person separately a majority of the candidates will have different answers. So, if someone has both of the same answers then the person who is asking will probably lean more to the similar answers. Just because the people go towards that answer doesn't mean that it is logical.
If a person has an idea or needs an idea about something they are going to want to get advice about something. If they have an idea then they can either change the idea or enforce there idea from the different opinions. If they don't have an idea then they can get ideas from the peoples advice. That is why having multiple perspective of an opinion is good.
Giving advice to people can work because of a difference in opinion. If someone has a difference in opinion or a friend has a difference in opinion then giving advice and explaining it thoroughly can really help someone. like if someone asks a friend to give some advice to them. Then talking about precisely what they are looking for can help to expand a brooder view on how that person can help there friend.
Having a difference in opinion, to find a way to decide on different opinions, giving advice, and deciding on changing or enforcing ideas. It all has to do with how having multiple people giving advice is a good thing. though sometimes having a difference in opinion it is not perfect it is not all that bad to have different opinions. who ever asks can narrow the idea which can enforce or maybe change the outcome of the idea.

2AFDDA4D5D6F,"I disagree with you that it ""The Face Of Mars"" was formed by aliens. I think it is a landformation that just happens to look like a face. From 1976 to 2001 we have found zero life on Mars. We have made many missions to it and we still have found nothing. Besides those reasons i still disagree with you about it and i do have proof of my reasons why.
The article ""Unmasking the Face on Mars"" tells me that scientist Jim Garvin was one of the men that took the picture of the ""face"" inApril 8, 2001. After Jim takes the picture and tells everyone, ""So, if there were objects in this picture like airplanes on the ground or Eygptian-style pyramids or even small shacks, you could see what they were!"" Jims says this because, each pixel in the 2001 image spans 1.56 meters, compared to 43 meters per pixel in the best 1976 Viking photo.
Also there are unusual shadows to make it look like the landform has eyes and a nose. The shadows also made it look like an Egyptian Pharaoh. But you have to remember that these are shadows and they dont tell always make out to what things look like. Sometimes your shadow makes you look taller than what you really seem to be. Shadows also dont always make you look the same either.
Plus Martian Mesa, are common enough around Cydonia. This could be just another Martian Mesa. Also if NASA wishes there was an ancient civilataion on Mars, why would they hide it. If they even thought that the ""face"" could have been formed by aliens im sure that they would want the world to know of there discovery.
In other words im sure NASA would let people know if they even think that the ""face"" could have been formed from aliens.

F36AF3EF5FA8,"Imagine if you had to do an extracurricular activity at school with no say otherwise. Extracurricular activities are meant for a fun, optional, learning experience. Most schools offer activities for student interests. Students like the option of extracurricular activities because they can participate in their interests if they want to but it isn't mandatory like most other things in school. I disagree that students should be forced to do extracurricular activities because students should have the choice of what they want to do, most students are busy with other things outside of school, and students may not be interested in what their school offers.
Students shouldn't be forced to participate in extracurricular activities because they should have the choice of what they want to do. Schools offer activities so students can participate in things they want do, not have to do. Being forced to participate in things a student doesn't want to do can stress them out. Most things in school are mandatory so students like not feeling the pressure of being forced to do something. Making students participate in extracurricular activities can have benefits too. It would make them go out and do something and help them learn new skills. In the end multiple downsides outweighs a few benefits. While there may be benefits to forcing students to go and do something, in the end they should have their own choice of what they want to do or not do.
Another reason why students shouldn't have to do extracurricular activities is because most students are already busy with other things outside of school. Forcing more upon them would stress them out and make them dislike school. Students already dread each night they go home because of all their homework so making them have even more to do will over stress them leading to depression and lack of effort. While it is good to challenge students to help them find their full potential, overworking them can lead to problems with their health and efforts during school. Extracurricular activities are supposed to make learning fun and help students learn new skills, not make them dread every day of school. Overworking students when they are already busy leads to anxiety and stress which is why extracurricular activities shouldn't be mandatory.
The last reason why schools shouldn't force students to do extracurricular activities is because some students may not be interested in what their school offers. Extracurricular activities are supposed to help students discover what their interests are, not force them to do things they don't care for. Extracurricular activities are supposed to help students know what they might be interested in doing in the future. If a student doesn't have interest in any of their schools options, they shouldn't be forced to do them. Some students may only have interests in things they can't do at their school. While some students might have interests that their school offers, not everyone does making it unfair for everyone to have to do an activity. If schools make students do things they don't want to, they will start questioning if their schools cares about their opinion or interests.
In the end, students should have the choice of whether or not they want to do extracurricular activities since some are busy with other things and others aren't interested in what is offered. Overall, I have proved why I think students shouldn't be forced to do extracurricular activities. Between being forced to do extracurricular activities and having a choice, having a choice is definitely the right answer. I chose that students shouldn't have to do extracurricular activities because they should be able to make their own choices, even if it isn't always the best answer.",,613,Mandatory extracurricular activities,Independent,"Your principal has decided that all students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity.

32834C842C36,"Do you honestly think that from reading the article "" Unmasking the Face on Mars"" and from reading theories and looking at pictures of the face that it is a real face? Honestly people it is a natural landfrom. If you look at the three pictures taken in the years 1976,1998, and 2001 you see that it is very blurry at first, but then throughout the years you get a better look at it. As the years go on the ""face"" loses its shape and doesn't look much like a face anymore. The landform is cracking and it looks from the sky like a mound.
My first reason I think that the face is just a landform is that the way it is indented, it could be a mountain or a tall hill. If so, then you could see how between the years 1998 and 2001 the face could have had an avalanch or a simailiar situation happen to it. Cracks form and it looks like by 2001 the left side of the face has a huge indentation in it. If you look closely in the 2001 image taken from the spaceship ""Viking 1""
if you look at the outline of the face's shape, you will see how it kind of slants up like a slide. That is reason to beleive that the Face could be a hill, or a mountain or even a small or large mound.
Okay so econdly, do you believe in god? If you do then did you ever think that since god created everything, that he might have created this so we could study off of it and learn scientific facts. He could have put it there so we can study it and learn and eduacationally grow smarter with this. Another scenario is he put it there so people who want to be scientists or astronauts, that they could see this out in space and have a deeper curiosity for the thin they love and are interested in, whether that is space, or landforms or astrophysics. You never know it could happen.
I can see how you might think that this face structure is not a natural landform. You never know it could be a mound put there covering dead bodies. I know it sounds gross, but think if there is or was another species out there living on mars. Aliens or extra terrestrial creatures could have buried important objects or heirlooms to them there or have buried family or other creatures who have passed on there. You never know, but I can see why you might think that the face is not a natural landform. If I think about it too much my curiosity is kind of wanting to believe all of the unknown stuff such as history or mysteries unknown and veiled by this ""face"" object.
It could be a landform of mysterious identity. It could be a mound of buried treasure or bodies. We may never know. As it says in the passage,"" An enormous head nearly two miles from end to end seemed to be staring back at the cameras from a region of the red planet called Cydonia"" [1] This face object may just be there to arise our curiosity.

CB8523849A13,"A world without cars is kind of hard to imagine right? Well not for most countreis anymore. Cars are becoming less and less desirable as the years go on. The peak was in 2005 and then has been slowly decreasing. Younger people like the ideas of cars but don't really need one. New York has subways, taxi's, and others are carpooling to destinations. France has alreayd issued a ban on cars and has even had certain cars banned on certain days. For instance, even number car plates could not be used for driving on Monday's, odd number plates were banned for Tuesday's. This was to help reduce the amount of smog in the French air as they rely mostly on diesel rather than gas. In Vauban, Germany street parking, driveways and home garages have been banned from neighborhoods. You could now only buy a house with a garage for $40,000. This cause more people to stop using cars, and others to sell them to live in the upscale neighborhoods. Many of the Ford and Mercedes car dealerships are considering changing their train of car producing to the newer ideal of intertiwning public transportation with the up and coming ideas of bikers on the rodes, and people using buses and subways instead of their own cars.
In Paris the smog in the air was soon thicker than it was in Beijing, China the citied known for its polluted air. Soon Parisian officials enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the smog. Monday's, motorists with even-numbered plates had been ordered to leave their cars at home or get a 22-euro fine, which is also $31. The same requirements were set in place for odd-numbered plates the following day. The first time this new ban was enforced nearly 4,000 dirvers were fined. Some even had their cars impounded for thier reaction to the new fine. The amount of traffic was down 60 percent in the capital of France, after the five days of an intensifying smog. The smog was caused by cold nights and warm days that caused the warmer layer of air to trap the car emissions. Diesel fuel was, of course, blammed as France has a tax policy for diesel fuel over gassoline. 67 percent of vehicles in Frane, compared to the 53.3 percent average of diesel engines in the rest of Western Europe. Paris would typically have more smog than the other European countries with the percentage of diesel fule they use daily. Paris had 147 micrograms of diesel per cubic meter last week compared to 114 in Brussels and 79.7 in London. Delivery companies lost revenue, but this starte an exception for plug-in cars, hybrids, and cars carrying three or more passengers. Soon the smog had cleared anouth on Monday for the ruling French party to take away the ban for odd-numbers plates on Tuesday.

EF160D7F80A4,"Dear TEACHER_NAME,
Cell phones have always been a big conflict when it comes to school policies.
Many schools have a no phone policy. Other schools only allow cell phones during free times, such as lunch or between classes. I believe that students should be allowed to use cell phones at school during free periods. They provide valid communication, allow students to have more freedom, and shows that the principle has respect for her students.
Cell phones at school provide a way of communicating with other students. Say that OTHER_NAME was trying to find his best friend RELATIVE_NAME at school. Well, all OTHER_NAME would have to do is send RELATIVE_NAME a text asking him where he was. Then, RELATIVE_NAME could simply reply that he was out by the fountain at the front of the school, so OTHER_NAME could meet him there. Another scenario where your cell phone could be used at school, is if one of your friends is at home, sick, that way you could text them their assignments after each period. These are just a few ways that cell phones can be used for communication at school.
Freedom is a huge concern with middle and high school students. Allowing them to have their phone at free times gives them the perfect amount of freedom. It's just enough to please them, but not too much, so that it'll get them in trouble. Who knows? After a while the students could get tired of using their phones at school. At lest try to provide the students with freedom, and if that doesn't work the policy can be changed.
Almost everyone in the whole world wants respect. Especially teenagers struggling with a identity. Allowing the students to have their cell phones shows them that you have a certain respect for them. They'll be grateful that you allow them to have their phones. They will even start respecting you more if you have a respect for them. So, show your students respect and allow them to use their cell phones. I can guarantee that they'll return that respect.
Sincerely, ",,346,Cell phones at school,Independent,"Your principal is reconsidering the school's cell phone policy. She is considering two possible policies:

D8C47A7C4F39,"What comes to mind when you think of the word school? Do you think about waking up early, going to boring classes, and lots of tests and homework? Well what comes to mind when you think about online schooling at home? Do you think about lounging in bed, eating whatever you want whenever you want, and doing work only when you feel like it? That's how most students think about these two different types of schooling, but when you think about it, is going to school really that bad when compared to online school? When looking at the big picture, I don't think that students would benefit from being able to take classes at home because there is less social interaction, there are more distractions, and there aren't as many fun experiences.
I feel that if students were to take online classes at home, they wouldn't get to learn how to collaborate with their peers. A school environment is essential in that it teaches students how to collaborate with peers and gain leadership skills through projects and assignments. These are skills that are important for the workplace and for working with people throughout life. School is usually the place where most people meet their first friends and learn how to talk to and deal with those peers as they grow up. I feel that online school takes that aspect of socialization away from students and doesn't allow them to put themselves out there because they're always at home. With that being said, it is also easier for students at home to turn to social media to communicate with others, which can be dangerous because they don't really know who they're interacting with.
I also feel that taking online classes at home could jeopardize students' learning because being in the comfort of their home will make for more distractions that wouldn't be available in a classroom, such as T.V., phones, video games, etc. Students will be more inclined to use these things because they are readily available. When taking classes at school, students don't have access to as many distractions because most teachers don't permit the use of personal technology in the classroom. Students are also more inclined to procrastinate and slack off when they take classes online because the teacher isn't monitoring their work, whereas in a school classroom, the teacher is in the room making sure that the students are completing their assignments on time. I know from personal experience that students are more likely to work when they are in a working environment, so I think that it wouldn't be beneficial to have them work at home.
Finally, I feel as though online school makes students miss out on some fun experiences that happen at school, such as after school clubs and activities that might provide students the opportunity have great experiences and bond with the new people they've met, field trips to museums, colleges, and amusement parks, school dances, which provides chances for them to go out and have fun with their friends, etc. Online school doesn't give students any outlet to do these activities as a group. Although the students might be able to do these activities on their own time, doing it as a school and seeing everyone united and having fun together gives a sense of belonging, and it makes them feel like they're part of a team.
Although the thought of online schooling at home is nice, I feel that it's important to remember that going to school makes students more well-rounded and provides them with many more opportunities. Students get to start to venture out and learn more about the world they live in and the people in it. I believe that school will give students unforgettable experiences, good or bad, that will teach them essential life lessons.",,632,Distance learning,Independent,Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing.

In this essay I will be talking about if people should be able to be on their cellular device while they drive or should they not be able to? In my opinion I don't think we should be able to because there are many dumb drivers without phones in their hands and the good drivers turn worse with one in their hands. More car crashes will happen and more deaths will come with it. I just don't think putting another distraction in drivers hands would be the best option for the road.
To start off this essay I believe having any type of electronic device while you are operating a vehicle is a distraction and can cause wrecks and deaths. No type of electronic device should be in the drivers hand only type that should be allowed is the phone holders that are legal that clip onto your A/C vents but shouldn't be texting on it only phone calls and the driver should always have both hands on the steering wheel as you drive.

CA78C2D08935,"Phones & Driving
What is the most distracted form of driving? Cellphones have caused a great amount of car accidents in America. What causes distracted driving is be anything that keeps your attention away from the road. With everyone having their own electronic device it can have great effects on people and their families. Using a phone while driving is more likely to cause an accident than drunk driving.
Drivers often get distracted by many things. They can be distracted just by a manual device like a phone. Some even visualize a distraction that keeps their eyes off the road. There are even times drivers let their minds wander from driving. However, texting leave a driver especially teenagers to be effected by all these types of distractions.
Teen drivers are inexperienced and ill-mannered which makes them more likely to be involved in an accident. Out of most activities related to cellphones texting is the largest cause of distracted driving. Each year almost 390,000 car related injuries are caused by a teen that was texting and driving. When answer a text at 55 mph a driver's loses attention to the road for about five seconds. This is about the same time to cross a football field.
Cell phones can be dangerous for everyone. 1 out of 4 car accidents are caused by texting and driving. 21 percent of teen drivers that were in an accident were distracted by their cell phones. Even with hands free devices you could not increase safety. 94 percent of teen drivers understand the dangers of texting and driving. However, 35 percent still admit to doing it anyway.
In conclusion, drivers should not be able to use cell phones in any capacity while operating a vehicle. Out of most cell phone activities texting is the most dangerous. It's every driver's job to not use any device while driving. Before, you drive any vehicle it's important to end all activates on your phone.

DCB80D17A96A,"Many people are not in favor of keeping the Electoral College. Many prefer changing the election by popular vote for the president of the United States since the Electoral College is unfair. It is. The electoral college is unfair in many ways and we should change it to election by popular vote for the president of the United States.
One reason why the United States should change the election to popular vote instead of the Electoral College is because the states aren't all equal and electoral college isn't fair. In the Electoral College, California has more of a say than Georgia. California has 55 electoral college, while Georgia has 16. How is that fair? ""Because of the winner-take-all system in each state, candidates don't spend time in states they know they have no chance of winning"" (Plumer 13). This line tells us that candidates stay out of states that they know they won't win. Say there was a candidate campaigning, they will most likely focus on the states that have the most electoral college, like California or Texas. They won't go to states that only have three votes. That's not fair to the states that have a small population. ""It happened in 2000, when Gore had more popular votes than Bush yet fewer electoral votes"" (Posner 6). If electoral votes wasn't a thing, Gore would be president. He's the candidate that won most popular votes, meaning that he got the most votes in the nation. ""Can voters control whom their electors vote for? Not always"" (Plumer 10). Not always? What's the point of voting if the vote won't even count?
Another reason why the United States should change the election to popular vote is because the popular vote will be more precise and it's much easier. There could be less ties, and the candidate that everyone really wants as president will become the president. ""Gore had more popular votes than Bush yet fewer electoral votes"" (Posner 16). Gore was the candidate that everyone wanted as president. It just doesn't seem fair that the candidate that won popular vote, isn't or wasn't the president.
Overall, the people should change the election to popular vote for the president of the United States instead of using a system that is unfair to the states and the people.

I do not think that you should make it mandatory for students to perform community service.

The reasons for it being a good idea is it gives experience for the future,helps prepare you for the future and helps you figure out what you like.
First things first getting experience is very critical to do before leaving school and going into the big world. Its good for applying to jobs and generally preparing for what you could do. This could ,also help by showing you what you might be good at that you didnt know you where or help you to get better if your not good at something or dont know how too do something. Participating in after school or even in school activities could help give you just that. It will really help for future events.
Next thing is that participating in school activities could prepare you for the future. It doesnt seem like a big deal to be participating in school activities, but it is. Knowing and learning more things about different things outside of school gives you options for what you could do n the future. it also gives a chance to learn about things you might need to use in the future. This also gives a good idea of what it might be like in the future and could very much help along the way.
Lastly participating in school activities helps you learn about you. school activities are there for that reason knowing what you like is the most important thing. knowing who might wanna be someday is also important. these activities are there to help you figure that out by finding out what you like and who you wanna hang out with , and how you work etc. what you like doing is apart of these activities and what they are made for.
In conclusion knowing more about you, getting experience and preparing for the the future arent bad things to start doing. participating can simply change your future. This can change who you become and effect what you do one day. You might even find that what you thought you wanted to do or who you wanted to be you dont want that anymore.

952CB87D4897,"In the vast idea of being right or wrong, an individual can easily be swayed or unsure whether something is just the way they wanted it. In this case, and many others, seeking outside advise or help can solve this problem. Not only can seeking help create a better understanding for the person who was unsure of something, but it can also relieve stress and anxiety, which is a major component of a decision about to be made. Also, a further benefit of asking for outside help, is for the well-being of others. If this decision could affect the lives of other individuals, its only common sense to be one hundred and one percent sure before making that decision, and what better way to be one hundred and one percent sure than asking the advice of others.
Seeking understanding is a huge skill that many don't have and is a skill many should develop. Asking someone a simple question like ""Is this good to go?"" can truly impact someone's mindset of how to deal with problems, and can give them strong advice of how to handle the problem they currently have. Multiple pieces of advise would make an even bigger impact on a person and give them more understanding of what others think. Because of this they will be more prepared, and have a different mentality for future problems. From my personal experience, I can relate to having others critic and check my work because I know the helpfulness and understanding I get, can make a real impact on me.
It has been proven that stress only causes harmful and emotional side effects to individuals. So, why not remove it? That is exactly why simple checks on your work, or something you may be unsure about can make a real impact. As stressful as everyday human lives can be, there's no harm done in taking a little out of your time to ask others about your situation and how to deal with it. Being more sure on something can cause an individual to worry less and end up making better decisions. Maybe you have a huge decision coming up like a proposal. You need to be absolutely sure and know it in your gut that this is the right decision to be made, and asking others can help you know that you are making the right decision or you are making the wrong decision. The more advice someone has, the more confident that someone can be, and can have less stress going through with that decision.
If you live by the motto ""Put others before yourself"" it is critical to understand that the decision you make could negatively affect others, as well as yourself. An example of this is smoking marijuana. By doing this, you could be causing others to be doing it as well, just because you are doing it. You could be at a legal age, but marijuana is still bad for you as well as others. Asking your friends if they are okay with it and if it is a good decision, can cause you to realize that in the long run, it is a bad and not a thought-out decision. Like said before, other people's lives are also important and seeking help before a decision, to make sure that it is good and well-thought out, can make a true impact in others. Also, as modern day society is getting bigger and bigger, and people are becoming more reliant on safety, it is extremely important to ensure and provide safety for each individual, and asking for other's advice can ensure you that your decision is safe and responsible.
All people strive to do what's right, whether it be doing right toward others, or to yourself.
Doing right toward others and yourself doesn't just mean getting good grades or achieving an award, but it means doing the right thing. Asking others for advice can ensure that you are doing right toward others and yourself. When doing this, you can seek out understanding of the problem you are facing, which can be an important skill for people to have. Throughout asking others for advice, you can relieve stress by knowing what you did was right, and you can be assured that what you are doing is safe and responsible, which won't have side effects that could harm or hurt others. A simple skill, asking others for help or advice, can truly make in impact in others and yourself.",,743,Seeking multiple opinions,Independent,"When people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person.

To begin, driverless cars are being designed to be used as a transporation system. Today all forms of public transportation are driven by people. Those people are entrusted with the safety of their passengers. Having driverless cars as a form of public transportation would be unreliable and use more gas, because more people would need rides.

This is one reason why driverless cars are not beneficial.
Next, the driverless cars have had so many malfunctions. So far, driverless cars can only handle speeds up to 25 miles per hour, which is not even fast enough to driver in neighborhoods. The can steer, brake, and accelerate themselves, but need human skills for navigating. This means that the human driver must be completely alert at all times. Today, there are so many distractions already behind the wheel. These distractions, such as texting, would only increase if the car was doing most of the work. And while the driverless cars have many types of sensors, there is no guaruntee that they would pay attention fast enough to stop an accident.
Finally, driverless cars will need new traffic laws. Presently, traffic laws are written in the assupmtion that human drivers and in control at all times. Having the car in control would cause problems as to who was at fault. If the driverless car to malfunction, would it still be the owners fault? New laws would have to be made to cover liability and insurance for damage. Also new laws about getting licenses. All drivers education classes would have to be different and people that already have licenses would need to learn how to operate the new driverless cars.

F1982187FCC1,"Students-designed projects should always be assigned even during the school year. Students-design are more understandable that teacher-design. Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break. Should these summer projects be teacher-designed or student-designed? Projects should be student-design so they can relate more, showcase your creativity and skills, and be more exciting for the students.
Even though, teacher-design projects will be able to test our knowledge. They are not made for children the way a student- design would be. Student- design projects will relate to students more because it will be base around us. We will have total control, unlike how sum teacher-design projects have rules and guidelines that stop us from being fully open. For, example i had to do a essay about my summer adventures. I chose to write about the time i visited my grandparents in Florida. A few days went by and my teacher wanted to talk to me. She wanted me to rethink my essay because she did not feel any excitement reading it. I didn't agree with her because i always had fun with my grandparents. We would feed the sea turtles, go on night walks at the beach, and go to the board walk's carnival. She still felt as if i wasn't meet the project requirements. This project played a important role in my grade, so i accepted it and rewrote my essay.
In addition student-based projects will show how creative we are. This will give students the opportunity to show off their talent and ideas. Teacher- designed projects do not always allow students to show what they are fully capable of, it only shows what they want to see. Such as, my friend Generic_Name had to do a portrait for her finals in art. She sketched an amazing portrait with a lot of details, so she could show her skills off. This was very risky, to much detail could throw the sketch off. Her adviser thought that she should do something simple to ensure she will get an easy A. Generic_Name wanted more that a easy grade, she wanted her artwork to inspire people and to make a mark, so she went with her idea instead. Now her paint is hanging in the museum of art and is displayed every month downtown.
Next, Student-designed projects will be way more fun and entertaining for students. Every year we receive projects that are boring and does not interest us. Teacher-designed project have no personality and are way to formal. Students-designed projects can be more funny, silly and excited, it can bring happiness back to school projects. For example, two teachers, Generic_Name and Generic_Name assigned the same project. Generic_Name gave her students a teacher-designed project, but Generic_Name didnt. She let her students chose their own project and gave them a rubric of what she would be looking for. Generic_Name class's project still related to science but was personalized. It showed that they really tried and had fun doing this project. She had never seen so many smiles on students faces as they presented their projects. It showed her that she made the right chose.
In conclusion, these are all the reason why we should get student-designed projects. It is showed that student- designed projects can help and motivate students. Projects should be student-design so they can relate more, showcase your creativity and skills, and be more exciting for the students. In the end this will be the best for students.",,575,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

The limit of car usage in any places of the world would have an effect on every one . It could be good, it could be bad. But when it comes to the envirenment, limiting car usage can even help prevent certain problems that people don't realy pay attention to. Prolems like pollution and the government wasting money in highways for cars than trying to find safer ways for transportation.
Like many factories, cars give out bad smoke from the pipe under the back of the car. When that smoke goes in the air and get mix with the air, it would create pollution. Now the pollution would create bigger problems like the rise of the greenhouse gas emission and it could also create global warming wich could lead to much worse stuff that I would not get into. All you have to know is that global warming could lead to the destruction of the earth.
In France, their government decided to enforce a driving ban to clear the air of the global city. Based on facts cited in source two, the city of paris was near-record pollution. On my personal experiances, I know what car smoke can do to people. One of my uncles died in Haiti because he inhale too much car smoke. It knind of messed up his lungs.
People are suprisinly over the crisis of cars. But apperently the government deosn't realise that, since based on source 1 it stated ""80 percent of appropriations have by law gone to highways and only 20 percent to other transport.

84FFEF07FB0D,"There are many questions about the mystery of the ""Face on Mars."" The article states that the picture of the Face is "" the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa--landforms common around the American West."" More information about the ""Face on Mars"" is in the following statements.
It has been scientifically proven that the Face is nothing more than a rocky landform. Although it may seem to be formed my aliens, the Face truly is just a natural rock formation. There is no actual evidence of life on other planets. Why assume that just by a mesa? The Face is made up of shadows. You too can probably make shadows that look like something it is not.
NASA has taken photos at different pixel sizes. Not everyone agrees with NASA's statement because they truly believe that NASA is hiding information from them. Talk about the Face began after some people decided that it would be a ""good way to engage the public and attract attention to Mars."" Afterwards, many conversations and arguements were about the Face. It became a pop icon once it reached across the nation. Many people paid attention more to what they were watching rather than what they were told by NASA, the people with the facts.
Conspiracy theorists began saying that NASA was holding out on them by not saying the complete truth about their discovery. Much goes into a discovery that shouldn't go without apreciation. Scientists still held onto their beliefs and avoided correction by a few simple facts. The time that the first picture was taken could have been a perfect time that the sun was creating a shadow. I believe that the Face is just shadows that are made by indents on Mars.

44DDD4D88456,"A project during summer vacation! summer vacation was suppose to be about having fun not doing boring old school work. Some schools require students to do projects over the summer. While some may say that the projects should be teacher designed, because the teachers know what they want the students to learn about. The summer projects given to students should be designed by no other than the students themselves. Students designing projects themselves will lead to many positive things, first students will actually do these summer projects, secondly they will be more engaged to what they are learning from this project, and lastly they will learn more about what they like personally.
To start off, if their summer projects were designed by students they would actuallly do them. Alot of times when the teacher assigns a project many students won't turn that project in at all. This results in conflicts such as bad grades. Most times students don't do these projects because they are not intrested in them. Summer is on of the biggest breaks students get from school, so why would they wanna spend it doing projects for school that are boring. Students share intrests, so if a student were to design a project that was educational but in common intrests of those around them. The other students would actually do this project because it's something they like.
They may even come up with partner projects that will help with students social skills. This Allows them to open up about things they don't understand about projects when they are in the class room.
Secondly, student designed projects will allow students to be more engaged in their projects. There is no kid anywhere in the world you can get to engage in something they don't like or want to do, unless you force them to do it. Well same goes for summer projects if a student doesn't want to do it they will not be engaged in it. Not engaging in things such as projects can lead to sloppy, messed up, and badly graded work.
This doesn't allow students to show teachers what they are really able to do. Other students know what their fellow peers strong point and weaknesses are. They can design fun and intriuging way to learn but also have fun while doing their summer project. When they do design fun projects like this it will let these students become engaged in what they are learning.
Finallly, student designed projects will allow the student body to learn more about their intrests personally. The whole point of school is to learn about the world and learning skills we will need when we grow up. Along the way you will learn youe strong points and your weaknesses. You figure out what you like and don't like doing. Taking your strong points and intrests to poin you in the direction you should go in. A project that's student designed for their own personally intrests will allow them to grow. They will learn all they can because that project will be something fun and engaging about something they want to know more about personally. This will let them flourish in the field they want to learn about.
In conclusion, Schools requiring students to do summer projects should let the projects be student designed. Students know what their peers want to know about. These projects will be more student based so they will actually do them. Activities they want to learn about is where you will find the students to be more engaged. When projects are designed by students it will be about topics they themselves are intrested in, allowing them to learn more about these topics.

1230F23889EE,"cars are everywhere these days, and they are commonplace among us. getting from point a to point b almost always involves using a car. but there is a different method of transportation emerging and that is public transportation. there are many benefits to public transportation including reducing emissions, having less cars on the road, and improving cities. this one far-fetched idea is now coming into the spotlight.
in cities like chicago and new york, the skies are dark and gloomy and pollution is in the air. the main contributing source come from emissions from cars. limiting the usage of cars would help to clear the skies and stop some pollution from filling the air. the quality of life would then be much better in these cities. ""after days of near record pollution, paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city."" paris needed to ban cars because the smog and pollution in the city was getting out of hand. if there were fewer cars in the city, this type of problem would never be an issue here or around the world.
traffic is always a big issue on the roads around the united states and the world. limiting car usage would ease the traffic and make roads a lot safer. when the car ban was in place in paris ""congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of france, after five-days of intensifying smog."" when less cars were out on the road, accidents would be greatly reduced and city highways like the ones in chicago, illinois would be much more manageable. there would be more money to work on roads since the traffic is reduced and the roads would also stay in prestine condition for longer amounts of time. events like car-free day have already had big impacts in other parts of the world and the impact would be even greater in larger countries such as the united states. ""it's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution."" having less cars on the road would benefit our society in more ways than one.
quite a few years ago, ideas such as public transportation becoming mainstream seemed pretty far-fetched. well today, those ideas can help buisnessses and whole towns limit car usage. when cars are used less frequently, the areas that have more frequent usage will be cared for even more. new sidewalks, restaurants, and shopping will emerge throughout cities and be a huge advantage. caring for roads have little benefit and putting money into public areas will help out cities tremendously. ""parks and sports centers also have bloomed throughout the city; uneven, pitted sidewalks have been replaced by broad, smooth sidewalks. new restaurants and upscale shopping districts have cropped up."" using public transportation instaid of cars will greatly improve cities.
cars have been around for a long time and have served us for many years. now, reducing or getting rid of them seems like a viable option because emissions will be reduced, there will be less cars on the road, and cities would be improved. this task of getting rid of cars may seem hard to do but the infastructure for it is already in place. public transportation is already in larger cities such as new york and chicago and it can easily be installed in smaller towns and communities. the advantages such as less pollution and more greatly outweigh the minor inconvienences. smart planning is the best option to encompass all of these ideas. "" it seperates suburban life from auto use, as a component of a movement called smart planning."" smart planning is not only the wisest opportunities and advantages of limiting car usage for now, it is also meant to help future generations have a safer and cleaner world to live in.

996FD5290FB3,"Dear state senator,
The electoral college is an unfair and irrational, and should be abolished immediately. The fact that the race for president can end in a tie is completely absurd. Also the fact that popular vote can mean basically nothing is dumbfoundidng. In a country of democracy popular vote seems like a it would be standard. popular vote seems like the best idea when it comes to a country for the people.
The electoral college is highly unfair to voters. Presidential candidates dont even have to visit all of the states to win the elections. The representation that the smaller states get is unfair. Presidential canidates will only visit states with a high number electoral college representatives because the states are known as ""swing states"". Swing states greatly influence the outcome of the election because they can hold the most power. If a state such as texas with 34 electoral votes was to have the same amount of power as a state with a much smaller population than the electoral college would seem much more viable.
The electoral college state representatives do not have to vote with that states popular vote. Al Gore, in the 2000 presidential election, won the popular vote but still lost the election(Plumer 9). The fact that a canidate can win the vote of the people but still lose the election is horrifying. How can you trust a system that works against what the United States of America is about. It completely takes away the right of people to decide what goes on in there goverment. The fact that the electoral college state representatives do not have to vote with people is highly unfair.
There is one crucial flaw in the electoral college, the election can end in a tie. In 1976 a tie would have occured if just 5,559 voters in Ohio and 3,687 voters in hawaii had voted the other way(Plumer 12). If we were to switch to a system were all states including the District of Columbia get one vote then the election could never end in a tie. Although this still seems highly unfair to the voters because the representative could go either with or against the popular vote the election could still never end in a tie solving the amjor flaw. What was to happen if we did have a tie? It has not yet been desided because it never has happened and that is a major problem.
The electoral college is highly unfair and should be disposed of immediately. The electoral college is biased towards the larger states,has major flaws that can only be fixed by getting rid of the system and does not give a fair view of what the people want. The system was poorly thought out and needs to be replaced.

Venus seems like it would be very challenging to explore and the author gives many reasons why it would be so difficult. For some reason though he doesnt really list any benefits to exploring Venus.
Throughout the whole story the author is just making Venus sound like a horrible place.

Again he is describing Venus to sound like an awful place, so why would you want to explore it. Another good claim he makes is that, ""since no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours.""
Why would you go explore Venus in a space craft if all of them were destroyed. If it where me i would not want to explore Venus, the author has given me plenty of reasons not to.
Throughout the story the author does list at least one benefit to exploring Venus. In the story he writes, "" it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system."" Yes i can agree that would be a great reason to explore Venus, but here are the downsides to that. Venus now is not like Earth, it is more like a destroyed Earth.

The author also mentions,"" Venus was probaly covered largely with oceans."" All those oceans that may have been their are gone now. Why would we explore a destroyed Earth?

Being a Seagoing Coyboy let's you have the time of your life by having amazing sights. One time while I was there I got to see the acropolis from ancient Greece. If you join you might just be able to see amazing places just like that. Also I got to have the benifit of seeing Europe and China. One of the most amazing thing I got to see was in Venice, Italy the street of water. So you should become a Seaging Coyboy because you have the benifit of seeing amazing sights and views.
Being a Seagoing Coyboy can give you the opportunity of helping people in need and that is very important. You can help them if they come right off of the war you can go help re-build their towns or suppling them with animals to help. Also you get to bring food suplies to help them recover from a war. Helping people is very important so that is just another reason why you should become a Seagoing Coyboy.
You may think you will have nothing to do while you are on the ship. Well that is not true. Some of the things you can do is play sports and other activities like baseball, volleyball, table tennis, fencing, boxing, reading, and whittling. Those activities help pass time while you are at sea. Also other things you can do is do your chores on the ship like cleaning the stalls where the animals stay, feeding the animlas, and watering the animals.

We are in the era of technology, and we depend on technology very much. Nowadays, it is rare to find a student without a cell phone. Students bring there cell phones to school even if they're not allowed, so I say that students should be allowed to use their cell phones during free time only. They should bring their cell phones for emergencies, help on assignments, and relaxation.
I myself have a cell phone, but I only use it after school to call my mom or sister, and I am sure that many other kids have a cell phone for that purpose too. I know that schools have plenty of phones available, but they might not let you use it unless it's a drastic emergency. I consider forgetting your homework or backpack an emergency, but the office may not think so. You may have ripped your pants, and you need to call home for some new ones. You don't was to be wearing ripped pants all day long.
My second reason for bringing a cell phone is that many cell phones have internet. The internet is useful when you are doing some last minute studying or you want extra help on an assignment. You may say that the internet provides websites that should not be used during school, but it's during free time, so they won't be disturbing the class. Free time may be boring, so you may want to go on a chatting site or play games on your favorite website.
Many cell phones have the ability to store music. Research shows that music encourages creativity and your imagination. You can listen to music before a writhing prompt or art class to get some ideas of what to paint or write about. This may improve your grade because the art or writing came easy to you. Music also helps some people concentrate on their work because it relaxes them. Kids that usually cause trouble can be relaxed and calm after listening to relaxing music.
As you can see, cell phones work for many purposes. They come in handy when you have an emergency, you need some last minute studying, or you just want to relax before a test. So come on TEACHER_NAME. How can you not allow cell phones after reading these reasons for allowing them.

3671DB5110C0,"Dear Principal,
I think students who have less than a B average should be able to do sports, because doing sports teaches us students responsibility, and self discipline. It might not seem like it to you, but coming from a student who enjoys sports, I know how it makes most students act, and feel.
I think you should at least give the students a chance to show you that they would be able to get their grade up so they could play on teams and show their pride for their school. I know I enjoy getting out there, and just playing what I want to play. It motivates me to do my homework, study for tests, focus more in class. That seems to be one of the problems why you don't want students doing sports, because you want them to focus more on their work, well, I'm not sure that would be the best idea.
A lot of students find it irritating that they can't play because of their work, or grades, or something like that. And It makes them not want to do any other work. I'm sorry if this sounds rude, but I am just trying to let you know how the other students would probably feel about this. I just don't think it's fair that some students wouldn't be able to play because of a grade. Maybe if they had a failing grade then I would say no they shouldn't be able to play. But it's not a failing grade and you should give them the chance to show themselves that they can focus on their work, and still play the sport they love to play.
Yes, some students might not be as devoted as other students to get their work done, but definitely most students would think that if they can't play a sport then they better get their work done. It's just depends on the kid, but I know most of us teenagers would definitely try for that spot on the team if we just got the chance!

9673DC993C25,"In many parts of the world, cars are used on a daily basis. People use their cars everyday to get to work or any other place they go. These people should probably consider limiting their car usage. There are advantages to it and it can be beneficial.
The limiting of car usage can be helpful to them and their city's environment. I think that the people should limit their car usage because it can lower air pollution and air pollution is one of the biggest problems many cities or countries in the world are facing. This is because those citizens use their cars too much and they don't limit how much they use it.
On source 3 a businessman from Bogota, Columbia says that its a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution.
In addition, citizens from every state and country should limit their car usage because they don't have to worry about traffic. These citizens should walk, take a bus or ride their bicycles to where they go.
It can also save them time and avoid the trafficjam in the streets and it might help them get to their destination faster. Source 3 says that
Colombians hiked, biked, skated, or took buses to work during a car-free day leaving the streets of the capital city eerily devoided of traffic.
More over, citizens should limit using their cars because in some countries around the globe many people are cooperating and taking the advantage of limiting their car usage.
In some countries from Germany, there are families that do not own cars. On source 1 a media trainer and mother of two said that when she had a car she was always tense and now she's happy the way they are car free. In the city of Paris, Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the global city . The usage of cars have created smog in different countries including Paris. In source 2 it says that motorists in Paris with even numbered plates were ordered to leave their cars at home or suffer a $31 fine.
In conclusion, people from all the countries and cities of the world should take the advantage of limiting their car usage. It can benefit them by avoiding traffic if they ride their bicycles or walk, spending money on gasoline and get to where they need to go faster. Another advantage would be to avoid air pollution to the environment and city and help making it a better place by being a great and considering citizen and limit the amount of car usage.

Extracurricular activities, are for people who want to be in that activity, or feel interested in it. If student's aren't interested in that activity, then why should they be forced to do it? How would you feel if you had to be on the basketball team but you don't even like basketball?

Lastly, if students had to take a extracurricular activitie, students wouldn't get a break from school.

I know people are going to be like, "" How am i going to get to work?"", "" How am i going to do this and that with out my car?"", but if you sit down and really think about it there are some very good reasons why us fellow citizens should limit our car usage.
On paragraph 3 source 1: In German Suburb Life Goes Without Cars, it says "" when i had a car I was always tense. Im much happier this way, a media trainer and mother of two as she walked verdant streets where the swish of bicycles and he chatter of wandering children drown out the occasional distant motor"" in this quote it talks about how a mom is going green and starts walking and bicycling instead of driving every day. If you drive everyday you lose alot of money thru out the year spending on gas, car repairs etc. and you pullute the air, now a days the air that we breath is getting worse and worse by the years passed but we could fix it if we limit our car usage. With going green and limited driving you could start walking and get good excersise, our world to day not doing so good and one main reason is because of pullution and obesity. You could knock both of those out by just simply walking to the store instead od drving and losing gas. Cars are graeat dont get me wrong, they have been the a big impact om our world but it changed over the years as people started buying cars and gas prices and oil prices are going up, we should all just go green for a while.
It will help if you just stop drving one time a week, that will make a impact to our society.

Dear Principal,
I believe that the idea of allowing Students to bring phones to school and use them during lunch periods, and free times as long as the phones are off during class time is a great idea. Many Students Today get in trouble for using their phone so by making it an option to use outside of class time may limit the amount of students getting into trouble. Common consequences for cell phone usage In modern day schools, are Warnings, confiscation of the device, and lastly confiscation and a parent or legal guardian must get it back for you.
By using this new cell phone policy, Parents and students could be relieved from stress.
There will always be those students who are going to text anyways no matter what during Lunch/Recess. Therefore Policy #2 wouldn't be such a great idea. Students who get their phone taken in school by an administrator or teacher, may react in anger or aggression, leading to a bigger problem like talking back to a teacher, or starting a fight out of anger. which would of course have bigger consequences, In Conclusion Policy #1 is better because it has a good effect on both students and teachers.

7BBC565EFE33,"The Electoral College is a system that should no longer be used because it is based on an outdated system from the first years of our country's independence. It would be much more beneficial to use the popular vote as the final vote. One reason is that one canidate can get more votes, but still lose the election! Another is that many states never get to see the potential president speak, as to make their descion. Lastly voting would be easier to count and to understand for citizens and those who work the election.
In 2000, the electoral college failed to properly represent our country's people. More people voted for Al Gore, but Bush still won the election. In the states where Bush did win, it made the people who voted for Al Gore insignificant and their votes would never again be considered. Even if in every state a paticular canidate won by one vote, that person would still get every electoral vote, because they won the state, this is mostly an issue in large states. This is unfair to the losing canidate because their voters never really got a chance. If it was a popular vote, voting would be much more direct and easier to understand. Citizens might even be unaware that they aren't really voting for the president, they are voting for their electoral college representative. With popular vote, there would be no more confusion, and no more worrying about comparing the two voting methods.
Another reason is that some states may never get a chance to see their potential president speak. Potential presidents tend to go speak in swing states, or states that may vote either for them or for their opponent, since it is based on the states vote not the individual people. When a president goes to speak in a swing state they are convincing people that it will be a better choice to vote for them, not the other canidate. If somebody lived in Rhode Island, for example, they would never get the chance to see their potential president speak, therefore they would have to make their descion based on television speeches, newspaper articles, etc.
Also states that tend to vote one way or another often do not get visited because there is no point in trying to convince a state to vote for you that is definitley already going to vote you, to vote for you, and vice versa. Swing states with high populations are really the only states that are visited. It is no promise that the potential president will go to every state or even every region, but they will more likely than not visit different states than they would have before. If popular vote decided who would become president, it likely would no longer be true for presidents to only visit swing states.
Last, the entire election process would be much more simplistic. There would be a whole group of people who no longer would have to be a part of the process, and the less people, the less mistakes. Also each state could still add up their votes, then add all the state's votes together and voila, the president has been chosen, by the people. There would be no more arguments as to who really won the election, as in popular vote versus electoral college. Also there would be much less of a chance for a tie, the more numbers the less each number is worth. Overall, the electoral college adds unecessary complications to a potentially simple system.
The popular voting system would still be difficult to take care of, but much better than the previous system, the despised electoral college. Throughout the years we have seen twice where our course of history could have been radically changed, with a different president. The popular vote system would increase the power of the people, allow more people to see the president speak, and get rid of unecessary complications and confusion of the electoral college.

1B2E72AE87B6,"Should students be able to use their phones on school property? Well, it has came to my concern that you are doubting the students but, if you ask me, I would say policy 2 because of 3 very specific reasons that I will be talking about. I believe students should be able to use their phones during their free time so that they can do the following:
1. Be able to make important phone calls 2. Use it to help you as a educational resource 3. Contact teacher Twitter accounts
Well, my first reason is being able to make important phone calls. This is my first reason because I know what it feels like to not have a phone and need to make a very important call. Sometimes you don't have another choice and you have to go to the office and use the office phone. Then, in a couple of minutes, there is a very long line in the office just to use the phone! Phones are very necessary at school, so please, let them use their phones.
My second reason is to use it as an educational resource because you can use it as a calculator, dictionary, thesaurus, etc. There are thousands of ways that you can use a phone educationally. For example, if your teacher needs help looking up a word or something, you help her out by looking it up on your mobile dictionary. That is another great reason why students should get to use their cell phones.
My third and final reason is that students can also access their teachers' Twitter accounts. That is very important for students because they can access their homework anytime. For example, when you are sick, you can go to your teachers twitter account and be caught up on your homework. That is pretty much it!

Using cars to reach a destination causes pollution according to experts, who are correct. According to paragraph 5, ""experts say, is a huge impediment to current efforts to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions tailpipies...Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe...and up to 50 percent in some car-intensive areas in the United States."" Because of this there has been efforts in the past two decades to make cities safer and easier to breathe in. A city that faces these pollution problems is Paris, which made authorities to prohibit driving. ""After days of near-record pollution, Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city."" This is the right thing to do because after this law was implemented there was less congestion. ""Congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of France, after five-days of intensifying smog."" Pollution also has more of an impact depending on the tempertaure and day. ""Cold nights and warm days caused the warmer layers of air to trap car emissions."" Also there are cities where using cars are near impossible, because of the laws that the governmental officials had enforced. An example of a city with these laws is Vauban, Germany. ""Street Parking, driveways and home garages are generally forbidden in this experimental new district on the outskirts of Freiburg, near the French and Swiss borders. Vauban's streets are completely 'car-free.'''
However, There are advantages when individuals drive less. Owners of the public transportation have taken action. They subilminally convinced drivers to reduce pollution and dangerous accidentals by offering free transportation. ""Public transit was free of charge from Friday to Monday."" When this was taken into action, smog was cleared in cities. ""The smog cleared enough Monday for the ruling French party to rescind the ban for odd-numbered plates on Tuesday."" When individuals drive less they are exposed to new activities that they have never experienced when driving. People can experience activities in places such as in Bogota, Colombia. ""In a program that's set to spread to other countries, millions of Colombians hiked, biked, skated or took buses to work during a car-free day yesterday, leaving the streets of this capital city eerily devoid of traffic jams."" The main goal for this was to advocate other transportation in order to reduce pollution. There are also other factors that can substitute the place of driving. A suggestion was made by Mimi Sheller, who is a sociology professor at Drexel University and director of the University's Policy center and Mobilities Research. She said that ""The Internet makes telecommuting possible and allows people to feel more connected without driving to meet friends."" Also that ""the rise in cellphones and car-pooling apps has facilitated more flexible commuting arrangments, including the evolution of shared services for getting to work."" Bill Ford, who is the executive chairman of the Ford Motor Company has also suggested factors for safety and transportation. ""He proposed partnering with the telecommunications industry to create cities in which 'pedestrian, bicycle, private cars, commercial and public transportation traffic are woven into a connected network to save time, conserve resources, lower emissions and improve safety.'""
Using cars for transporation is mostly a problem, even if authorities have enforced a law for it, if it causes pollution or even danger in cities. But, it can only be a good thing if individuals are limiting the usage of it.

Established in 2006, it prohibits street parking, driveways, and home garages, allowing car ownership but limiting parking to large garages on the development's edge, costing $40,000 per space. This innovative concept has led 70% of Vauban’s families to live without cars, with 57% selling their cars to move there. Emphasizing “smart planning,” Vauban is a model in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, a critical factor in combating global warming. The district, home to 5,500 residents, showcases how suburban areas can be more compact, accessible to public transportation, and less car-dependent.

29710DAB0A1A,"""The Search For Venus""
Venus is know as a planet, sometimes called the ""Evening Star"". It's even called the earths twin because both Earth and Venus have the closest terms of density and size. even sometimes closests in distance, but scientist have to realise the danders of Venus, ""its proven a very challenging place to examine more closely"" reasons why is because due to the thick atmosphere of 97 percent which is carbon dioxide that blankets Venus.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), is planning to send humans to study Venus and learn more about it.
There soultion for them to be able to do this is that due to the hostile conditions of the surface of Venus would allow scientists to float above the fray, example like they said ""imagine a blimp-like vehicle hovering 30 or so miles above the landscape."" which what they would be doing if they were to float above it. The only bad thing about what they are trying to do, is the dangerous conditions.
Its far more extreme than what any human has encountered on Earth. Reasons why is because Venus has clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in it's atmosphere. It's temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmosphere pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet.
It would be best for scientists to study more on the planet of Venus and on how the atmosphere works, and how we can adapt to it'senviorment if we can even adapt to it with out anything bad happening. Which we do have the technology to do all this, but it will take time to make sure everything should be how it should be so that things are capable of the planets atmosphere, like a rocket ship that could be launched to Venus.
Like for example if NASA just built a rocket ship and launched it to Venus without knowing the outcome it could end bad. Reasoning to this because they might not have knew the temperature of the planet, or maybe not even know what the atmosphere is capable of doing to the ship or the humans if they were to go on a mission. It took years to study Mars, and NASA is still finding stuff out about Mars to this day.
They said ""just exposing a cell phone or tablet to acid or heat capable of melting tin."" What they are saying is that if we do not study Venus enough a mission could go really bad which will no be good nor NASA. Due to what we didn't know about the planet. Just sending out a ship to Venus with out not knowing what can happen would never be a good idea, better safe than sorry.
The author is right about his ideas that studying Venus would be a worthy pursuit despite what could happen, because they can take the time to study more and more and figure what the planet is like, no matter how long it might take to reach the planet and get to get up closer to the planet wihtout anything going wrong.
Not every planet is the same, and why isbecause how the solar system works. Like Mercury its closest to the sun and the planet is not capable of having life living on it due to how hot it is. So it's a good idea for scientists to study the plants before just making a mission to Venus.

CA79F1AAB238,"Wow! That middle school in San Bernardino has a basket ball and soccer team and they all have C' s and D' s. A. Our school should have sports teams because it gives us a chance to demonstrate our athleticism. It also helps us meet friends from our school we didn't even know were here. It might even give us a chance to win trophies for the school.
The first reason is that it helps us show our athleticism and keep us in shape. If the school decides to band sports, mostly all the kids will have to be sitting down in a chair trying to get a higher grade. This will cause Americas youth to not be in shape and not have any physical activities in school. Even the famous people in the world didn't have good grades while they were in school.
Another, reason is that we meet new people from different schools or even from ours. While the school is traveling the city playing different schools we meet new kids and play as a team to beat them. When we win it also gets us closer to winning a trophy. This year we didn't even know the basket ball team and now every body knows them. Almost the whole school goes to see them play in games away from here.
Principals and teachers think they will save money on banning the sports to lower level kids but they are wrong. They will still have to pay for the people that are still on the team for uniforms and sport balls to play with. If the principal doesn't change any rules they will pay as much for the whole team than just half of it.

9AF39AF24661,"Cell phones are a huge part of society now. They are used everywhere and anywhere you go; school, home, to the store, park, mall and more. As a student i think that cell phones are important to have at school just in case of an emergency or even if you want to contact your parents.
Policy 1 is to allow students to bring phones to school and use them during lunch periods and other free times, as long as the phones are turned off during class time. Policy 2 is to not let the students to have phones at school at all. In my opinion I think that policy 1 is a very appropriate rule. Lunch is a time where you can sit down chat with your friends, eat and if so, use your cell phone. I don't think that that's a distraction because they're so many people already talking about things, yelling, laughing, and more. You can also call your parents if you needed to ask about something. I know that I have to call my mom or dad a lot to get permission to go places and do things. If your phones are turned off in class they shouldn't be a problem because you won't be texting, playing on your phone, or it won't be making any sounds if you got a call or a text.

3687CDF4389C,"Phones and Driving.
Majority of people have phones and have a vehicle that they use dailey. Should people use their phones while operating a vehicle? The answer is no people should not be able to use phones during operating a vehicle. Using phones while operating a vehicle is dangerous. The phone distracts people from doing what they need to do.
Phones are technology that people use for everything. Phones can engage a person on a high level scale to where people a lot of times don't even know what they are doing. Phones carry a lot of things for people to use like apps, social media, and face timing. All of these things on the phone distract the person using it and they are just stuck in the virtual world and they barley enjoy the real world because they are in their phones too much. These points are valid because people will use their phones while operating a vehicle.
Using phones while operating a vehicle is very dangerous for the persons safety and others. Using a phone while operating a vehicle is already illegal so that's also a main reason not to use the phone while driving a vehicle. People can not use phones during operating a vehicle because they will be too distracted and they will not pay attention to the road or area they are going to. People should not be able to use their phones while operating a vehicle it puts other people in danger and you do not want to be hit or do the hitting.
People will suffer if they use their phones while operating. Say for an example you are on your phone while driving and u hit a person with your car the first thing the cops are going to ask you, is what where you doing. And you would say i was on my phone and you would go to jail and for a long time because it's illegal to use your phone while driving. While all that is happening your going to be thinking and regretting that you pulled out your phone while driving and if you killed the person then you would probably be in jail for life and no one wants that. So people should not be able to use their phones while driving.
No one should be able to use their phones while operating a vehicle. It's illegal already you don't need any more trouble because bad consequences will happen. It's dangerous for the driver and the people around.
The phone distracts very hard to the point where the person using it doesn't pay attention in the real world. People should not be able to use phones while operating a vehicle.

You are also best friends with a girl named Generic_Name, who starts to become jelous becuase of how much time you are spending with Generic_Name, so she tells you to make choice him or me. now you have two choices to make eithier to stay with Generic_Name or go with Generic_Name you do not know what to do so you ask for advice from friends, family and neighbors and they tell you something diffrent but you are happy because now you have diffrent opptions to choose from than the ones you had in mind.
When people need advice they should talk to more than one person because they might get a better alterniative choice than what they had before, or they could see what their neighbors,friends and family would do in your situation, or they might give you great tips that you could you in the future.
The first reason people should get advice from more than one person is because you might get a better option than what they had mind, like for instance lets go back to the story ,and lets say the child was gonna tell her friend off by telling her that she was a loser and that she never liked her anyways or that she should cry herself a river and build herself a bridge and get over the fact that she spending most of her time with Generic_Name. But instead you sat her friend down and tell her that she did not mean to spend all her time with Generic_Name or you might even go out to lunch togather and talk about whatever was bothering you. Which would be a way better outcome than the first exsample.
The second reason people should get advice from more than one person is because it is better to hear what your neighbors, friends, and family would do in your situation because you might not agree with the first advice you get. For exsample lets say the child in the story asks her neighbor what she should do and they tell her to punch the girl now you may or may not agree with that but you always have your friends and family but maybe your friends tell you to leave Generic_Name your other friend and stay with Generic_Name but you do not like that choice either, so you go to your family and they tell you to do what you think is right so you think about it and you sit your friend down to talk.
the third and last reason you should get advice from more than one person is because someone might give you tips that you could use in the future. Like maybe your aunt has been through what you are going through and wants to give incouraging words like let your heart deside not your friends or you will know who is best for you. Or maybe your grandma tells you that if your friend can't be happy for you then she is not a good friend which you could use when you are older like if someone cant love you then they are not the one for you and that you will find the right person oneday maybe not right now.
Inconclusion getting more than one persons advice is best because we do not know everything and depending on only one persons advice can be quite unsettling at times so leaning on other people opioions can help a lot now we might not like what one person says but thats why we always have other peoples advice to usecso we should use all the advice that comes our way.",,617,Seeking multiple opinions,Independent,"When people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person.

6504F77A1674,"Some student would love to work on school work at home, due to the lack of sleep and possibly health issues. Working from home can teach students what its like to be independent and responsible. Some students wake up to being home alone in the mornings, some students have parents home or siblings home in the morning. Online classes would help students work at their own pace, along with teaching them how to be responsible. Some kids are just not motivated to get up in the mornings to go to school and deal with the same situation over and over again. As one of those students i feel as if online schooling would help the kids who are having a hard time getting up in the morning, to go to school and deal with stressful and anxiety inducing situations.
Students who have a hard time finding a reason to get up in the morning, hard time finding motivation, would probably prefer to do their school work at home. Some students and social anxiety, some suffer from depression, and some suffer from sleeping issues. We need to keep in mind that not all students are the same and all have a personal life to include some issues here and there. Some students may have tried to talk about this and no one has acknowledged their idea, which causes them to be more stressed and feel dismissed. Being one of these students i would also like to share that doing school online may be more stressful to some students, but others would much rather deal with the stress of doing online school than go to school and feel dismissed.
Students have to go to school and deal with people bullying them, and deal with other students that have no respect what so ever. Some kids dont want to be around that or have developed problems due to having to deal with bullying or feeling alone and dismissed. Many kids get up in the morning and face all of that head on and dont speak on the issue because they want to get it done and over with, but little does everyone know that a person can only take but so much of the same thing before it becomes a major problem not only for them, but for others as well. Students and kids should have to feel the way that they do growing up into an adult, some people say ""you're learning how to be an adult.""
Students, to include me, would feel way more comfortable working from how, rather than coming into school and dealing with the same situations over and over again. The skills it takes to learn online would help older teens and young adults learn what its like to be responsible for your own things, without teachers giving them the free pass. If you dont have something you need for online school than you cant learn, causing you to fall way behind and more likely to redo the class.
Not only will students learn the importance of being responsible, they'll also learn the importance of time management. Young students should be able to learn without feeling like they have no choice. Students who are on the line of becoming 18 and up should be able to have a say in their education.
We also have to keep in mind of students home situation, if the student is becoming or is 18, we need to think about their home situation. Some of them might not have a home or parents to help them. If they go through the school they should be able to do online schooling. With that being said I feel as if student should be able to choose to finish high school online, as well as be able to express why they'd feel better off doing online school. A student choosing to do online school seems so much better than a student choosing to drop out in my opinion. I feel like the online school option would reduce the number of drop outs by a lot.
Students would feel like they have a say in their education along side being heard.

73A7CE028611,"Dear TEACHER_NAME,
I believe that your first policy, the one which students are allowed to bring phones to school and use them during lunch periods and other free times, is the best policy of your two choices.
I believe my in my opinion because it allows students to have a sense of freedom in the school. As long as students know that, they must turn off their phones during classes, I believe there wouldn't be a problem. This is a great idea because with this, less rules are set to be broken, because students know that their conversation will be open for comments once they reach lunch or a free period. This will make students a little more patient and focused during class. Along with this it allows the students to be more social without all of the yelling and screaming throughout the hallways during their free periods and lunch time. Due to the fact, they can simply send a text message or call a friend.
Some reasons why I believe that this idea wouldn't succeed is due to the fact that some kids may not be able or ready to handle the responsibility of having a phone, and may forget to turn it off, and then have a phone ring in class. Then this will give reason to the teacher to take their phone as punishment. However, this is only an assumption.
Now my reasons for the second policy, and why it wouldn't work. I have doubts in this policy because students may need their phones for after school activities and other emergency reasons. This could often lead to kids having a hard time communicating with parents or friends when a ride is needed. I also believe that to enforce this policy you may have to go through drastic measures to enforce such a strict rule. Such as investing in a metal detector to prevent phone entry into the school, which would costs money, limiting the funds for educational purposes.
These are all of my reasons in why the first policy for students of our school is the best way to go in my opinion.

Without the Electoral College, the president might not be thoughtfully voted in. The Electoral College exists for the congress to decide who becomes president and vice president. In the society we live in today, many of the young are voting for who promises stuff that they care about, but not the candidate who is the most qualified and truthful. Congress examines all the information and chooses who would represent the United States the best and who would run the country with an iron first and improve the nation.
If Congress didn't use the Electoral College system, the nation could go corrupt. The ""popular vote"" could be only by a few votes, and the other half of the nation could get extreamly angry and rebel in protest. This could possible start another civil war. By keeping the Electoral College, this would not happen. The country votes, and that counts a little towards the new president. Otherwise, the country is satisfied with the Electoral College system and is used to it by now so won't get upset if who they voted for isnt chosen.

0B25AA5D6644,"Imagine being in a classroom full of loud students. You wouldnt get much done. With that being said dont you think that giving students the opportunity to take their classes at home? Although some students need ""hands on learning it should still be an opportunity. It sounds like a fantastic idea to me because some students work better alone and around no one, and it could also help students stay caught up and work at their own pace, and it would show how advance some of the students really are.
To begin with, some students work better by alone and around no one. Some times being in a classroom can be difficult for students. Most of the time its really loud and no one is really paying attention which can be hard for the students really trying to just get their work done and pass the class. Not saying that it has to be completely silent in a classroom for everyone to focus, but imagine being in a class where the students talk the entire period or continue to get in trouble, it would be hard to stay focused and get everything done right? When students get around other students they tend to do things to empress one another which can make it very hard for other students to get their stuff done. Meanwhile students could be at home doing their work. Just picture how much you could get done in a shorter time span at home by your self! A lot right? The only way you could get distracted at home while your doing your work would be if you distract yourself.
In addition, it could help students work at their own pace. Have you ever been in class and the teacher starts going to fast and your too busy trying to catch up that you end up not knowing what your doing? So wouldnt it be just wonderful if you could stay at home and do your classes online and just have video conferences. You could work at your own pace and go as fast or as slow ass yo please. Even if you felt like you need help or if you even had a question you cold still get in touch with a teacher that would be very willing to help you with whatever you need help with. For example at my school we have an online class called Plato which is something the school uses to help students make up any classes they need to make up at their own pace. Its not as bad as it seems, the whole course is do at the end of the year which gives you year to work on it whenever you feel like it. Students would get so much more done if they could work at their own pace. In a classroom full of students everyone works different some people work faster than others. Every students is capable of doing it but some just dont work as fats others, so giving them the opportunity to their work at home, and at their own pace is a marvelous idea!
Last but not least, it would show how advance some students really are. Being in a classroom can be very difficult especially when it comes to seeing how much your students really know. For example my freshman year in high school i had this friend named Generic_Name, everyone in that class though he was so smart he did all of his work and even turned in om time. Near the end of the year when we were testing everyone had submitted their test except Generic_Name, and when he did he had got the lowest grade in the class, when the teacher asked him hat happened he couldnt give her a reasonable answer, later we fond out the he had been cheating his way through her class and he couldnt cheat on the end of the year test. Now for his sophomore year he takes an online course for that class and hes actually doing much better and his grades are great. Now that he gets to work at his own pace and gets to do his work as he pleases hes doing way better! When you let students get the hang of what their doing and work how they want they tend to d better and make more progress. Scientist read that 89.7% of students that take their classes online tend to be more advanced.
Now that you know how beneficial giving students the opportunity to take classes online is you can agree with me because, some students work better alone, and around no one, and it could help students work at their own pace, and it would show how advanced that student is.

80619550D955,"Dear TEACHER_NAME,
I think that community service is very important and students need to be reminded of that. But its also very time consuming so I believe students should have a choice. You should get parents and community members to sponsor a club for community service. It could be named ASCC or After School Community Cleanup. I personally think the whole problem behind community service with kids is that they believe that it can only be cleaning up litter and such, but we need to remind them that it can also be going to a nursing home or putting on a concert for kids with cancer in the area. Not only would this help out the community but it could be a way to socialize out of school and do work at the same time. Just imagine if the track and field area had no litter at all, if there were multiple trash cans instead of three or four, or even helping make a second loop to pickup children. But see not all children might be able to participate as needed because either they are too little, have a sport, have a doctors appointment or even be allergic to the material your working with. If you do decide to put this club into action Tuesday and Thursday right after school would probably be the most effective and convenient. This is just some of my ideas, so just think about it.

2E25F9F0DED6,"The twenty-first century has been nothing but a blessing for America's school systems, introducing technology that keeps students engaged and excited about learning. Such resources have expedited and enhanced students' education in a way that has never been witnessed before, exemplified by distance learning. Distance learning allows students to ""to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing,"" meaning that they no longer have to get on the bus every morning, spend seven in an unfamiliar environment, and then return home to complete their assignments. Students will benefit from distance learning (DL) because it provides them with greater freedom and allows the teacher to give more attention to each individual's progress; since similar systems have already been implemented, attending classes from home is almost guaranteed to be successful.
One of the greatest benefits of DL is the amount of freedom students have in choosing how they want to learn, which environment they desire to work in, and how they want to pace themselves. During their first few years in school, students are often taught the three types of learning: verbal, auditory, and hands-on. With the comfort of one's own home, or other work environment, they have the freedom to choose how they would like to go about learning without disrupting the rest of the class's progress. Not only can they exercise their own way of learning, but they can also select where they would like to work; those who are introverted may not feel comfortable working in a school or public environment, whereas others may feel the most productive when they are surrounded by people, such as at school or the library. Thirdly, since less time is being invested in maintaining the class's order or learning the material as a group, students can utilize this time to either move ahead of the class or spend more time understanding the material. While conferencing may be conducted at specific times, other assignments can be completed at one's own time and ease. One of the best ways to ensure students' productivity is by maintaining their comfort and willingness to work, and providing them with the freedom to learn in different ways, work in different environments, and pace themselves as they please.
Not only does DL allow students to feel more comfortable interacting with the material, but it also provides teachers with a chance to give each individual more attention and organize more assignments or lesson plans to further enhance the learning experience. Teachers will receive more time to monitor students' progress rather than bring order to the class. As a result, teachers can use this additional time to delve deeper into individual students' progress, providing each with digital feedback and one-on-one assistance that may not have been possible in the classroom. Students can directly benefit from this attention in that they could ask the teacher for help, catch up with the curriculum, or seek ways to move past the rest of their peers. While many may argue that, presently, digitized systems have been implemented to watch over students' progress, the truth is that teachers are required to spend time in class as well as their personal time to do this in addition to supervising the class; working outside of school for no extra income could be a disincentive for teachers, resulting in inadequate monitoring. It is crucial for teachers to have the extra time, as a result of introducing DL into school systems, so that they can serve and benefit each student individually and thoroughly rather than superficially.
Logically, it appears that DL will probably be greatly beneficial to its users, but its success is almost guaranteed because it has already been implemented among many school systems and has proven to mesh well with students' learning. Firstly, America's schools have digitized most, if not all, assignments and class material, allowing for easy access anytime and anywhere; this has made working from home significantly easier for students who are sick or who have gone out for vacation. One such example is Google Classroom, a resource that allows teachers to provide their students with direct access to assignments and extra materials whenever and wherever necessary. While convenient, many indicate that DL will negatively impact the interactive learning experience, but what these people fail to realize is that technology is equally, if not more, interactive than the assignments provided in the classroom. Since most of these assignments have already been digitized, the working environment should not be of a concern as long as the assigned tasks have been completed. People have also mentioned their concerns about cheating on tests or assignments due to Internet and phone access at home, but teachers have already begun combatting this issue with newer programs that deny access to any other sites and that monitor the student's activity throughout. The only limitation to DL that may detract from its success is the students' access to electronic devices; while LCPS provides their students with personal devices throughout the school year, other school systems may not have sufficient funding to do the same. In such cases, it may be best to either keep these individuals in school or find an alternative method of giving students access to the curriculum, such as providing textbooks and worksheets rather than video conferencing. However, overall, DL is mostly guaranteed to function successfully, especially in Generic_City, thanks to access to technology and resources.
Distance learning may not be in widespread usage today, but it will prove to be tremendously beneficial for students, in that they will have more freedoms and receive greater attention. The ideas, resources, and research are all present. Now, schools just have to make the switch.",,938,Distance learning,Independent,Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing.

I am 100% sure policy 1, as my view as a big texter, will be the best. Do the teachers need to be offended if it's lunch period, and someone's texting? No, they should not be offended if that happens. How about in the hallway? Once again, no.
Think of it like this, you got a test back, 105% (because of extra credit) you cannot wait to tell your family. The bell rings. You go out to your locker, grab your phone and text your parents. They are so excited their child turned out bright. Well, I have gotten tests back where the score is up with the other students' high scores, out of my grade. And I want to tell my mom, so bad.
The cell phones would only interrupt free periods, and lunch. If that even makes sense. Which it doesn't really. Or how about this scenario: You told your friend, who we're going to call RELATIVE_NAME, who lives in a different time zone. Your friend thought RELATIVE_NAME's story was just awesome! RELATIVE_NAME sees the email, (about it being a great story. She's home, at the time) and you're at school with your friend who said it was awesome! Oh Gosh! She wants your friend to see her ""thanks"" so bad! She emails your phone (simple phones can do email functions) you're in free period and get a text/ email saying: Thanks, and other things about how happy she is, about it. Your friend sees the text and gets happy, as well.
I wish I could do that, because my friend, RELATIVE_NAME, would love to say thanks to my friend, who wanted to text her last night because the story sounded really good. And she's almost out of school, now, and I am at school. Also you will be remembered as the principal who let cell phones be used during free periods and lunch.

FA8735E99D14,"In 1976 a surveyor caught a absurd picture coming from the face of Mar's planet. By face, it was literally a face. NASA didn't know how to explain but with the explanation that it was a mesa or some other landfiorm on the surface. Is it or is it not? Many people think its aliens, but let's look at the big picture. There is pure evidence that what you're seeing is a landform and I have some examples.
After close survey of the "" face "" NASA has concluded that what we are seeing is a mesa. In the text it says, "" What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or a mesa-landforms common in the American West."" That is proof that scientists who specialize in this wwork confirm that what we are looking at are just mesas or buttes.
But really if there was aliens on MArs then we would've seen some evidence by now. If aliens built this then why didn't we see any tracks or signs that the aliens built this thing. NASA has taken photographs of the moon and Mars many times. In those times if there was alien life then I would think that their would be some sort of sign that leads us to believe that we are not alone.
Everyone knows that the alien theory is just fun in games. People just let those kinds of pictures out mainly for the enjoyment of the people. In the text it says, "" The authors reasoned it would be a good way to engage the public and attract attention to Mars."" That shows that NASA just released this photo so that the people would have some entertainment theorizing what this is.
Another big piece of evidence was shown in this story. In the text it says, "" Scientists figured it was just another Martian mesa, common enough around Cyodnia, only this one had unusual shadows that made it look like an Egyptian Pharoah."" Thats the sole cause. It was just a mesa that was photographed at the right time. If the shadows weren't there then it would just look like a regular mesa on Mar's surface. Also if you look in that picture you will see other mesas or landforms surrounding it. So that tells you that that area is full of landfroms.
In conclusion, there is so much evidence showing that this was just a landform. And if you still believe that thi is aliens then you need to look at the facts. Aliens might be real but we need to find evidence that they did this before we go and say that they did.

24A7D362E0CF,"""HONK! BEEP BEEP!."" ""Hey! What are you doing!? You're causing a traffic jam!"" What causes a traffic jam? Cars. They get us from point A to B for sure but, do we really need to rely on them that often? I don't think so. As we limit our car usage, the air pollution lowers, fewer car accidents happens, and road rage? Gone.
Limiting car usage have many benitfits, such as the air pollution lowers. In some countries, for example Paris, they ban driving due to smog. fter near-record pollution, Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the gobal city. As of that Monday, they would fine motorists with even-numbered license plates a 22-euro fine($31). The effect of this was that public transit was free of charge from Friday to Monday.
In Bogota, Colombia, millions of Colombians participated in a car-free day leaving the streets traffic jam free. It was their third straight year cars have been banned with only buses and taxis permitted. It didn't stop people from participating even though gray clouds that dumped occasional rain showers on Bogota. ""It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution"" said a businessman Carlos Arturo Plaza as he rode a two-seat bike with his wife. This campaign began back in the mid-1990s. Without cars, parks and sports centers have bloomed throughtout the city. They even fixed the uneven pitted sidewalks and replaced them with smooth sidewalks. A city of 7 million, rush hour have dramatically cut traffic as they have their car-free day.
As for the United States, President Obama's ambitious goals to curb the United States' greenhouse gas emissions. Recent studies shows that Americans are buying fewer cars and getting fewer licenses as each year go by. Another study has shown that there has been a large drop in the percentage of 16- to 39 year-olds getting a license, while older people are likely to retain their licenses as they age, Mr. Sivak's research has found. Without cars, people are expected to walk more and car pool with friends or take buses. This will dramatically decrease greenhouse gas and air pollution. In Barcelona, Spain, Bill Ford, executive chairman of the Ford Moter Company, has laid out a bussiness plan where they create cities in which pedestrian, bicycle, private cars, commercial and public transportation traffic are woven into a connected network to save time, conserve resources, lower emissions and impove safety.
In conclusion, by not driving a car, air pollution lowers, fewer car accidents happen, and no traffic jams. From different sources, different effects happens when cars are banned. In Paris, smog is a thing in the past, no traffic jam for a city of 7 million in Bogota, and in Barcelona, public transportations are connected and is faster to get to point A to point B.

44AA492BFED7,"Dear Senator,
What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of the Presidential elections? Do you think about the complicated eloctoral college or the popular vote? As an average citizen who is not in politics i immediately think of the popular vote when it comes to the Presidential elections. Why do we have the electoral college anways? Shouldn't the people be able to decide who the president is not the state legislature.
SO therefore instead of the electoral college we should just stick to the popular vote.
As an American you have certain unalienable rights, and the act of voting is one of them. So if its our right to vote than we should be able to do it not other people. The electoral college isnt that safe either. In 1960 as stated in the text, when President Kennedy ran for office segregationist in the state of Louisiana nearly succeeded in replacing the democratic voters (elected by the people) with voters who would have voted against Kennedy. Or in 2000 when Al Gore won the popular vote but George W. Busch won the electoral vote and caused the biggest election scandal of the century. These are just a few examples of instances where the majority has won but the electoral college has caused an issue in the election. I am unsure of your preferences over popular or electoral but who the majority of the American people decide should become the President. We shouldnt allow some 538 politicians out of some 3 million citizens to choose the President. The American people should choose all of us not 538.
Though our founding fathers decided that we needed a system to decide the President instead of letting the people decide times have changed. Scandals have taken place, and issues have risen. But yet we still use this process even though we have an election all it does it we elect a select few to represent us. Why cant we just pick right away? The Constitution of the United States of America is based off of a democracy where the people run the government through our elected officials. Nowhere does it say that we elect people to elect the president. That doesnt sound like the country electing the president; it sounds like a few ""qualified people"" electing the president.
So Senator I ask you that you make a motion to eliminate the electoral college. All it does is take away our rights as citizens to elect our officials. It has caused many scandals as well. So please I hope you can agree that we need to eliminate the electoral college and only use the popular vote.

3321A3E87AD3,"I do agree that some students would benefit from online classes, but not all of them would. There's people that learn better if they are in a classroom with a teacher standing in front of them. There's also people who struggle to listen correctly in the classroom. Those are the people that would heavily benefit from an online course. All of their distractions are eliminated and they can turn the volume up on their laptop if they struggle to listen. There are benefits from both being in a classroom and being in an online classroom.
Since I agree that some would benefit, let's talk about why it's only ""some"". If you are like me, you would rather be in a classroom with other students who are learning the same things as you. Therefore, you can ask them for help if you missed something or just have a conversation on the topic. Just talking to others about what you're learning will grow your knowledge on the subject and you might even teach them a thing or two. This will also give you a chance to talk with the beautiful girls in your class!
So, why are they both beneficial? I've never taken a class online, but it must be nice to bring the class wherever you want. So, if you're an on-the-go student, I would look into online courses. Anxiety is a big thing these days and I've heard of many people with ""classroom anxiety"". They are actually afraid to go to school and I cannot think of a better cure for that than online classes. On the other hand, people in the classroom can speak on the subject and teach each other new things as I said before. You have the luxury of asking the teacher for assistance. Being in a classroom also improves your people skills.
We all know there is good and bad that come from online courses. These are some reasons why people think there is no good coming from it. You may not get the full learning experience from looking at your laptop rather than having someone with all the answers speaking to you and making you write them down. You have no social life while you're learning and you can't speak with classmates to learn more or get answers for a homework. If you're online learning, everything is on you! There is little help that comes with online classes rather than a real classroom.
All in all, I agree that some students would benefit from online classes. Those who are very independent and portable would love online classes. I feel that there are more students who would rather stay in the classroom and converse to learn more. It's all about what each person prefers. Online courses are not for everyone but are definitely a great option.",,467,Distance learning,Independent,Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing.

E9415526F0C1,"I think that if technology could read students emotional expressions, it would make things easy to find out if someone is upset, mad, happy, and much more. So if someone was to be depressed and they do the best they could to hide it from many people even their family members or friends. So what im tying to say is that if technology could actually help detect those types emotions it could stop people from hurting them selfs. Because many people have comittide sucide due to depression or hate, so if the technology could read the students emotions or anyone one else's then it could prevent stuff like suicide or someone going after someone else. Technology could help people find ways to stop things like that from ever happening so I think the value of using technology like that could help many people out and save a life, a whole lot of lives.

It is obvious that this type of technology can not only help others understand students emotions, but possibly help the students who are feeling a certain way. I think that using this technology to read the emotional expressions of students in the classroom is valuable.
Having technology that can help show how a person is truly feeling is hepful in so many ways. For example, helping a person out who is feeling sad. A student in the classom is normally good at hiding their true emotions or how they are really feeling, but with this technology, a teacher could possibly help this student out once finding out that the student was upset or bothered with something either inside or outside of the classroom. Another way this technology is valuable is by being able to notice when a student is flustered or angry about not understanding a certain part of what they are learning. Not only can this technology determine one emotion, but can determain mixed emotions. This could help a lot when a student in the classroom may not fully understand a topic they are learning but say they understand it completly.
Having the chance to use this technology can help students further understand the subject they are on, because the teacher for sure recognizes that the student may not understand it.

Many people say that it's the closest planet to us however, every planet spins around at a different speed so one might appear closer than another.

F8CDAD03758D,"Principal TEACHER_NAME,
I feel that we the students should be allowed to bring cell phones to school. Some students need cell phones because their parents need to know when they get out of school. Parents pick up their children from school when they leave. Suppose that a student has to suddenly stay late for basketball practice. If the student doesn't have a cell phone, when the parent comes when they usually do, the student won't be there to be picked up. Thus, resulting in the student not having a ride home.
Students should be able to use their phones during free time. Now with all the social network sites like Facebook and Twitter, students want to be able to be updated on what's going on. Also students like to surf the web and go on Youtube and do other enjoyable things. The students would get a chance to text or email other friends that may not be at the same school. I feel that it will give the students, like myself , a sense of independence being able to use phones.
Now I know why you may want students to not use phones. Students can cheat on tests by looking online or texting. Also you don't want students to text during class and other times when they shouldn't. That's why after lunch and free times you should do a cell phone check to see if the students turn off their phones. If you were to find at least 50 phones on, then you can take cell phone days away for a week. To me that sounds like a fair exchange.
All in all I hope you decide to go with policy 1. It is a better and more fair choice for the student body. Please take this letter in consideration. Thank you.

4660CE6F0FB5,"Dear Principal,
My name is STUDENT_NAME.
Many people argue that students should be aloud to play sports even though they don't have a B average or higher, there are many reasons why I agree with this statement and why I don't.
A couple reasons why students should have a B average or higher in order to play sports are because they should be rewarded if they are doing well in school and keeping up with their grades.
Students need to learn responsibility and they won't learn it if they are able to play sports with a bad grade.
Many students think that they have the privilege to do extra curricular activities no matter what.
That doesn't teach students to be responsible or appreciative.
If students have good grades and do other activities it will make them think that everything in life isn't easy to get and you have to work hard to get what you want.
There are also several reasons why students should be able to play sports with a C average.
One is that kids need to be active for their health and it builds self-esteem.
Students also meet new friends and interact in a way that they never did before.
Some students with a C average don't have as many friends as others students with higher grades and this is because they are unable to play sports for their school and meet new people.
It would be nice if everyone all had great grades but that's not how life works, so a decision has to be made whether or not to let students with a C average participate in after school activities or not.
I have made a decision after evaluating these results and I hope you will agree with me.
I have decided that students should have a B average or higher to participate in after school activities.
I think that it would be best for all students to learn responsibility and learn to appreciate a reward.
I think my decision is a good one and I hope that you feel the same.

E7D7A233ED11,"When people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person. If someone was to have an issue, they could ask a group of people they trust like their family and hear their opinions to help them out. Getting multiple opinions can help someone make a better choice because you can compare and see which one you like best, if you hear something more than once, you are more likely to start agreeing with what the person says, and maybe the people you ask have gone through the same thing and you can predict the outcome of the situation before it happens.
For example, you can compare and see which one you like best. Someone could give you some advice that seems kind of sketchy but if you don't ask anybody else so then you might do what they told you to and the situation can end up even worse than what it was when you started. A better choice would be to not just ask one person but instead asking many different people to see which one you are most comfortable with and that suits you and your personality. Say you were a shy person and you ask someone that's almost the exact opposite of you and the advice they give you is kind of bold and out there which isn't who you are so you would ask another person who might have a more conservative piece of advice and choose to listen to them and everything works out because you were more comfortable with the conservative idea which you may not have gotten unless you asked more than one person.
Another example is, if you hear something more than once, you are more likely to to start agreeing with what the person said. Say you were asking your friends opinion on something you want to get and they all start saying that is was pretty and that it looked good, you would be more reassured to buy that item because more than one person said that they like it. Studies show that people will agree with or do something if more than one person says it. When you hear the same piece of advice more than once, your brain encourages that piece of advice because hearing it over and over is a sign that maybe it will work and that you should listen.
The last reason is, maybe the people you ask have gone through exactly what you are going through because then you will be able to predict what's going to happen if you do take their advice and see what the outcome might be. If you were to ask your mom to help you with getting a boy to like you and then you ask your aunt or your grandmother but after you ask them what the outcome was and your aunt was the only one who ended up being with that person, you would do what your aunt said instead of your mom and grandmother because their advice didn't work out in the long run and your aunts did.
In conclusion, asking many different people that you trust for their opinions can help someone make a better choice because you can decide on which piece of advice fits you and your personality best, you might hear it twice so then you might start agreeing with what that person said to do, and asking many different people can help you predict what might happen if you were to do the same thing that person did.

DE1F754CF5BF,"Driverless cars sounds like a good idea, but if you really think about it, is it really? A car that can drive itself could come with many other problems. Personaly I don't think its that good of an idea. In the following paragraphs I will be explaining why I am not for driverless cars.
Basically driverless cars are controlled automatically by like a computer. Think about all the times you've had an issue with things messing up with your computer or cellphone. If smartphones have technical problems some times, what makes you think a smartcar won't? Imagine driving on a busy street or a highway and something going wrong with the car and you not being able to control it. Someone could end up seriously hurt, or dead.
In the article it says how the car would still need the drivers assistance in situations such as navigating through work zones or around accidents. I feel like because this car is designed to steer, accelerate, and brake for themselves the driver would be less aware while on the road and if for any reason needed to take charge of the wheel they wouldn't do it fast enough because they are not being as focused on the road as they would be with a normal car you drive yourself.
Also, if these cars were to start being more used there would have to be more laws made in order to cover liability in the case of an accident. They would have to see who would be held responsible, the driver or the manufacturer and that just makes everything more difficult. There would have to be a lot of work put into these cars being able to be used.
I don't think technology is advanced enough for a driverless car to be completely safe. Cars controlled by a person aren't even completely safe, a car controlled by a computer definitely isn't. The technology could fail and people could end up severly hurt. There could be many problems for the drivers and manufactures of these cars.

5F897C00DB43,"The idea of using facial recognition technology to identify how someone is feeling is a new one. It is also a preposturous one. You cannot fully understand what someone is feeling by looking at their face, and attempting to do so is an invasion of their privacy. Facial action coding systems should not be used in classrooms.
The idea that you could fully decipher what someone is feeling based on how they look is absurd. You cannot decide for yourself how someone feels based on the movement of their muscles. For example, if someone looks sad, you cannot just decide that they are sad, just because they look that way. If a machine decides I look confused, does it really have the right to change what I am learning? To understand how someone is really feeling, you have to first ask yourself why they might be feeling that way. Once you understand this, then you can determine what is happening. A machine cannot read minds. If I am confused about one thing, the machine does not know what. Not to mention that people often feel varying emotions at varying times of the day. I might be sad one minute, then laugh at a joke the next. I might not understand something, than understand it in the next second. The machine might automatically change something I understood based on a few seconds of confusion. This is not efficient or helpful.
To read someone's emotions based on their facial expressions is an invasion of their privacy. Let's assume this machine can accurately decipher someone's emotions based on muscle movement. What if you don't want people to know how you're feeling? If I am confused about something, and I am embarrased about it, suddenly the whole word knows. It should be up to the student to decide whether or not they want to seek help, not some magical machine. By forcing students to share private emotions, you run the risk of making them less willing to go to school. Who would want to go to a school where everyone knows how you feel at all times of the day? That would affect learning severely, and would definitely do more harm than good. Hindering learning in an attempt to better understand students is not worth it.
Using this software in classrooms would be ineffective, and even if it did work, it would be a huge invasion of privacy. This software should be used on paintings and nothing more. It is not accurate enough to do anything other than hold back human learning. This software is not fit for classrooms.

49DAFCE2F2C0,"""A cowboy who rode the waves"" is a story where there is so much going on with so many people.
The main character in the story is ""Luke Bomberger"" he works two part-time jobs one at the Grocery Store and the other at the Bank. He has a friend named Don
Reist whom asked Luke to go to Europe with him. They would be riding on a cattle boat with 335 horses only. The reason they had to ride on a cattle boat was because World War 2 just ended and most people animals and buildings got destroyed. They were shipping animals over to Europe so that they could have their animals back. He just turned 18 before they left so he was old enough to help out. Since they had all of the horses he helped out with taking care of them they each had to be fed and watered two or three times a day. He was really good at taking care of all the horses because he used to help out on his aunt's farm with all of the animals. He had trouble sometimes when the storms would be super bad and it would make the boat rock with the bad waves. One time he was going to report back to the captin with the news on how the animals were doing because he was on nightwatch and he slipped and fell off of his ladder. When the boat started tilting he went slididng down the deck of the boat and amost went off board. He didn't go off board luckily because a metal bar stopped him from going two far but he did suffer from broken ribs and have to take some time off. On the trips back to go get more animals the people he was with would play games with him and they also got to see amazing sights on their way there and back sometimes even on the way there is they weren't too busy.
Most of the time this is what happens but his story is really interesting. Most people think it is a horrible idea to do this but I think it's a great one because you get to help people. It is nice to do something like that because most people are less fortunet and things that happened in Europe can happen to them and maybe even you when you don't ever expect it.",,401,"""A Cowboy Who Rode the Waves""",Text dependent,"You have just read the article, 'A Cowboy Who Rode the Waves.'

In this paragraph will be talking about the young man on his way to eroup Luke Bomberger. Some people say that it was dangerous but I say he did a heroic act by bring cattle and horses to war torn countries. Now we think why he did that for so long, it wasent money, fame, or even for himself. No he did that selfless act for those people who had nothing left after war war 2. If you ask thats why he did it to help those women, men, and children, of china germany italy and all sorts of places that were left in ruins.
In this paragraph will be talking about Luke's claims. Such as he knew it was an opprotunity of a life time. That is supported by parts of the story were he may have to work but has fun in between his hard work. Like when in italy he visits such places like Crete or the Acropolis. There were also bad times like when he fell of that slipery ladder and broke some of his ribs in a storm and almost fell over board if it wasent for a small metal bar holding him in.
For a second lets talk about the time he spent overseas. We look at the fun he had in his nine adventures. Such as when he first visted Greece. He went to the Acropolis, soon after he visited the Panama Canal. Those were just some of the places that he got to travel not includeing Venice or Crete or even China.
In the end all you can say about Luke Bombriger is that he tried to help people. He was so selfless that even broken ribs couldnt stop him form doing whats right.

1683314A34F5,"I think that the new technology, FACS
which stands for facial action coding system is valuable. Because knowing how others are feeling can help develop stronger relationships and bonds with friends and family. And can also help a person console another person if they are feeling sad, lonely, and angry, even if the other person doesn't show their true emotions/ feelings.
And the technology FACS
can recognize different human emotions such as sadness or happiness even if the person's face doesn't have any emotion or expressions on it.
And we could also learn more on how our emotions change from time to time and why they change.
And could help develop better ways for humans and computers to communicate.
And it would help people that have trouble describing each facial trait that conveys happy, worried, and other emotions like that.
And it may help with teaching students. Like, say if a person is bored they probably won't learn as much as someone who isn't bored. Or that if someone is confused they don't really learn anything and it doesn't really help them focus either. But someone who isn't confused or isn't bored will likely learn better than those who are confused or bored.
If it is something that the student likes or is intersted it they will likely listen and probably won't be confused nor bored. But if it is something that they don't really like or it isn't interesting to them then they may not pay attention to it and may get bored and/or get confused.
And may help people learn and grow well.
And also if the person learning doesn't really like the lesson or is not interested or is bored or confused then the computer can change the lesson to something that the student will probably like and not be bored or confused with anything on or in the lesson. Or the computer can suggest something else or another lesson for the student to do to see if they do better in the lesson and enjoy it more and focus more.
It can improve education and how well students know everything and can encourage good attitudes and positive things in the present and the future.
Also, it can help encourage people to talk more often and make friends and to also encourage people to help others and things like that.
And maybe advise teachers in a way to make the lesson their teaching more enjoyable and helpful by playing games or letting students have a group of partners to help them and such.
And may help students have better grades/ do better in school and maybe even do better in extra- curricular activities such as sports.
And help student focus on the things they need to do. And help the teachers to make lessons where it will help the students learn better and be more fun for them.
May also inspire people to work harder or more and do different things and come up with new or different ideas and such. And may even motivate the person to do something that they want to do or accomplish.
Possibly even to pursue goals and/ or dreams . And technology can help us with a lot of different things like understanding how things work and other things like that.

The idea of making kids do community service should have opinions of other people the parents, and the kids and the school staff not just yours.
Some parents have to pick up there kids and other family traditions and or family mater .
Alot of kids do sports and threes a lot of coaches. To taking them out of there sports would not only be unfair but the coaches would not get paid .
The school staff have a life to so having to take care of kids and teenagers after hours would interrupt there personal time or time off of school .
Kids don't like come to school now what makes you think they will want to stay longer after sports or even before sports .
What I am saying is not only do kids already have the right to volunteer and help but its should be there right to choose if they want to or not. Start a club instead of making the whole school do it and garente that the club will get out of school to go clean up the state, county witch ever

E6D105874F5D,"Dear Principal, 2-17-11
I really think community service is a great thing in life, it helps the community become cleaner, makes more people want to join, and also community service can provide a better place. When people do community service it really shows how much they care about the world. Also when people do work around their community people start to enjoy walking outside and seeing this wonderful place and not no dirty place with garbage everywhere you look, and with the help of everyone joining together this place can be great.
Community service is a smart thing to make everyone do in the school because it makes the community look and smell a lot cleaner. This is because if one person can help the community out by just cleaning up some garbage it can only make it better and then maybe more and more people will join them and next thing you know, day by day the community is just getting nicer and nicer. With all this nasty garbage on the ground, please make everyone help out, this place is going to come along to be the best place known to man.
Also, when a lot of people start to do something it makes a lot more people interested in the thing they are doing. And if more and more people join this place is going to look a lot better than it is now. So, make it your choice but think about all the good things that can make this place a lot better. Without community service the community is just going to get worse by the minute, kids are going to be throwing the garbage on the ground, spitting gum onto the new sidewalks, and also many other things that can destroy our community.
Last is that community service can make our community a better place. I think if everyone in the school helps out with the community, this place will end up in your brand new fantasy dream. Also, it can provide a better place because all the dirty candy wrappers, the litters everywhere you walk will be decreasing faster and faster. With the help of everyone in the school, this object can really come out to be an amazing place.
In conclusion, i think that you should really take position and make the community service a thing at school, and it will help the community become cleaner, makes more people want to join, and also community service can provide a better place. So with the help of community service this place can turn very new in just a moment of time. Also when people do work around their community people start to enjoy walking outside and seeing this wonderful place and not no dirty place with garbage everywhere you look, and with the help of everyone joining together this place can turn into one of the best places in the world.

A091ADA0095F,"School has notably been one of the best years of a person's life. It has provided people with lifelong friends, partners, and memories. Recently, however, there has been a group of people speaking out about how schooling from home is the better option. Students should get their education at school because interactive projects teach better than computer assignments, the student would acquire more social skills, and teachers would have a better opportunity to educate and connect with their students.
The first reason why students should attend school is because interactive projects teach better than computer assignments. Projects give the student the opportunity to break down the subject and really understand it. For example, a student might be assigned to create a model of a plant cell. The student would then have to start at the first part and have to understand what it looks like and what it does in order to make an accurate model. Computers provide only a picture with no opportunity to understand the subject on a physical level. School is also the only place a student would be able to complete a physical project because there is no way to turn it in from home. As one can see, interactive projects educate a student better than a computer assignment.
The second reason why students should attend school is so they develop or improve their social skills. At home, there is nobody to socialize with. School is, of course, full of people that matches the student's age and interests. Conversing with others teaches children what to say, what not to say, and how to act. The social skills they learn can be directly used to make connections with friends or coworkers later in life. These skills are essential to living a happy and healthy adult lifestyle. It is obvious that attending school would teach students better social skills than staying at home.
The last reason students should attend school is so teachers have more of an opportunity to teach and connect than the student being at home. Many people would say that one of their teachers from school was a major influence on their life. At school, teachers can connect face to face, and through that strong bond, more learning will happen. The computer at home would make it seem that the teacher is just another program and they would not be as motivated. Teachers would also be more motivated to teach well in front of a classroom rather than a computer camera. It is apparent that students attending school will give the teachers a better opportunity to teach and connect with the students.
The main point made by the opposition is that learning from home is not as stressful as getting up, getting dressed, and going to school on time. These exact tasks teach students how to be timely and responsible. These two skills will be needed in order to maintain a job as an adult and even when their still in school. Learning from home will not support these skills nearly as much as they need to be. It is also important to learn how to access these skills when stressed, so the little stress a student endures at school is actually beneficial to them.
Students should be required to attend school because hands-on projects allow a student to learn more than an assignment on the computer, attending school provides the student the opportunity to gain social skills, and the teachers could connect and educate students more than through a screen. The future of America starts in every school, not home. School is necessary to ensure that society keeps moving forward. If the adults of tomorrow are not taught correctly, than the impact would be bigger than just an individual. Communities should urge their school districts to discontinue this poor education plan, and fully implement the requirement to attend school and learn along side their peers who will change the world for the better.

637F17D96F48,"Some students are born gifted in sports, or whatever they have a special talent in. This is not always the same with student's grades. For some students, good grades come naturally, as if they don't even have to try, but for some students, getting a C grade may be an accomplishment. Now, what if the star of a sports team had a C grade and was really trying their best in school? the team would be much worse. I'm not saying that all kids who play sports get bad grades, but what if the ones who did were the best of the team, or maybe even the whole school? The sports programs would crumble due to a lack of players who could not achieve a B average.
So, some changes that could be made to this policy could be: the player's grades must go up at least 2 grade marks (not letter grades) if the student's average in a certain class was a C or below. this way, it is more achievable for all students with all types of grades. Also, the principal should take into account the average grades of all the students who play sports. Someone can't just snap their fingers and give a failing student a B in their classes, some students are not able to improve their grades so drastically.
Although using sports as a motive to get better grades in school is a good idea, it may be too much to ask for some players on the team, so a goal more adapted for each student would work much better, so the school could examine each student's weak subjects, and make a plan individually for each subject or whatever type of schoolwork is giving the student the most trouble, and give each student their own requirements to qualify.

F0740AF01F22,"Mercury is closer to Earth's sun, yet Venus is the highest temperature planet in the solar system. This temperature has presented many difficulties trying to put a person on the planet. Landing someone on Venus has not been succeded yet. Many scientist and astronomers are working on creating a spacecraft that will hold together, although all of the dangers that are presented. In the text of ""The Challenge of Exploring Venus"" it shows many dangers and reason not to put a person on this planet, yet if they succeed the outcome would be much greater and rewarding. Studying Venus is a pursuit that should be taken. The outcomes of previous attempts to put a spacecraft on Venus have been unsuccessful. The previous trys have only survived a few hours long. It only takes one very thought out and well planned try to be successful. It would be a great place to reach and put living organisms on. Venus has many dangers although astronomers are trying to put a person on it.
Some of the dangers may seem unthinkable to put a person through but NASA is working on a spacecraft that will protect the person. They have so many advantages that are helping them succeed. The planet used to be covered in oceans and other forms of life. The text states, ""Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth."" This shows that it has similarities to Earth and has water and used to have other living organisms. The danger of not having any water or being able to hold any kind of life form is not there.
The temperatures and the terrain of Venus are both dangers and good qualities. Although the danger of having such high temperatures around 170 degrees Fahrenheit the air pressure is around the same as Earth's. The text states, ""At thirty-plus miles above the surface, temperatures would still be toasty at around 170 degrees Fahrenheit, but the air pressure would be close to that of sea level on Earth."" This shows the air pressure would be subseptable for a human to land and be able to breathe. With the right spacecraft the temperatures can be avoided and would not be an issue.
Venus has similar terrain and weather conditions as Earth. The similar features include rocks, mountians, valleys, and many more. The text states, ""The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountians, and craters."" This shows that the surface and ground are similar to Earth. This also shows great potential to land a spacecraft there. The extreme weather conditions on Venus is also similar to the ones on Earth. The text states, ""Beyond high pressure and heat, Venusian geology and weather present additional impediments like erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent ligtning strikes to probes seeking to land on its surface."" This shows that the weather conditions are similar, so this would help the manufactures of the spacecraft be prepaired for the conditions and help build a better craft. Although there are many dangers with every advantage the Venus is still a good planet to try and put living organisims on.
In conclusion, the studying that is being done on Venus and the more found out the less dangerous the mission will be. The advantages are much greater than the dangers. If they are successful then there will be another planet for people to live on. The similar weather conditions is a tremendous advantage. There being water already on the planet and the possibility of living organisms being on the planet shoes that it is possible. The possibilty of something great over rules the possibility failing.

6C633E9AAFC3,"Have you wondered what could happen when using a cell phone while operating a vehicle? Using a cell phone while driving can lead to various disasters and should not be done at all. Not only are there various disasters but there are also various consequences.
To begin with if you're on your phone while driving it increases your risk of crashing and dying. It also puts the other people in the vehicle at risk and the people outside of the vehicle. It also can bring financial problems to the people involved if a wreck occurs.
There are only a few occasions where phone use while driving should be tolerable. If there is an emergency where you must contact the police, then yes you should use your phone. Or if there is a family emergency then yes you should use your phone. If it isn't one of those occasions, then you should not use your phone in a vehicle at all.
Lastly allot of people listen to music through their phone while driving. Changing your song should not be an excuse. This is because it still takes away your attention from the road to pick the song you want. Before you start driving you should pick a song and just let the rest shuffle and put your phone down. If caught on your phone while driving, you should be fined depending on the setting you are in.
This will conclude this passage on driving and using your phone. Remember that there are allot of consequences to it and re-think about doing it. I encourage you to learn more about this topic and I encourage you to tell your pears about the consequences that could happen so that there will be less people using phones while driving.

Venus once had oceans and was covered with structures like valleys and mountains that we have here on Earth. The risk is high, but the reward is even higher.

46018A418B66,"Have you ever thought about why you ask multiple people for advice? For instance,you wanted to know how to play volleyball but you don't know how so you go,and ask one of your family members that played the sport,and turns out your mom played. She tells you to be yourself and don't be scared,and then tryouts came and you did what she said but it did not work so now your upset,but then you go ask the coach yourself and she give you the best advice. She tell you what you need to work on and how to serve good then you take her advice, and it works you have an better chance to make it on the volleyball team. When people ask for advice,they sometimes go to more then one person because they have a better chance,or they feel like it's bad advice,and they feel like it won't work.
First,I said the main reason why people ask more then one person is to make sure they have a better chance at achieving their goals. I say this because people who ask for advice they need help achieving a goal that they had in mind, but they can't do it because they feel like the advice that you given them is not going to work. So they try another person who they think can make their goals happen. I also said this because I was in the same situation as other people I had to tryout for cheer leading. I never knew how to cheer so I went home and asked my mom and sister because they were cheerleaders before, and I thought that if they were cheerleaders before then they can remember some of the things to get me on the team. I listen to them closely so I wouldn't mess up,but as soon as I got on the court and did the cheer the teacher said that it was good, but it wasn't good enough to get on the team after that I went home and cried because I thought that I did good ,but then I had and idea to go and ask the coach for some help and she did. She helped me so good that I actually made the team I was really happy and ever since I thought twice about who to ask for help.
However,this leads me to my next reason of why people ask more then one person for advice. It's because they feel like the advice is bad. The reason I say that is because people who know good advice between bad advice know what path to take, but for people who listen to the wrong advice it can take them down the wrong road. I say this because people who listen to bad advice will get themselves in trouble with many people. For example let's say that you go ask a person for some advice how to make money. They give you the advice,but the advice sounds wrong in so many ways,but you still take your chances and do what the person said to do,and then you get in trouble. Because you listened to somebody who wanted you to do their dirty work,and who knew you were going to get in trouble by the police. Now your in jail, and they are asking you who told you to this, but you remembered that you were not supposed to tell anybody the name of the person because you agreed online. That you would keep the person who gave you advice anonymous, and you didnt want to break another rule so you sat in silence until you realized what you actually did. Then you started talking turns out that person has a criminal record and you were now apart of his trial.
Therefor,this leads me to my last reason of why people ask more than one person for advice. it's because they don't believe that it will work. I think the reason why people think the advice won't work is because someone already told you something, and it didn't end well ,or you just had things happen to you where you tried everything but nothing seems to work out. This can actually happen to anyone who is always second guessing their selves. For instance say that I ask you for a little advice for my project and you tell me to do a electric car project but then I tell you that I don't have the right things for the project, and then you stop helping me because I complaining,but it's not my fault I was just trying to tell you that I need the materials for this and when we made it I got an F because it looked to easy and this why people are afraid of asking people for advice.
In conclusion people should always seek more options because some people will listen to advice that tells you to bad things, and some people would listen to anything at all. and they should also seek more options because it can actually get you somewhere if you think that your not getting any progress and also not all advice is bad for you just because it might sound bad does not mean that it is some people really want to help people who needs it. and this is why when people ask for advice,they sometimes talk to more than one person.",,896,Seeking multiple opinions,Independent,"When people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person.

I agree with the decision to change the C average to a B average to be eligible for any extra curricular activities, because it may increase the over all effort of a schools performance. It may even be a step to encourage more effort in the classroom, and of the person themselves to be a better person.
Changing the school policy might result in viewer students trying out for sports or other extra curricular activities. There might be an increase in a students effort in school to do better, due to the fact if they do not have the required grades, they may not join any activities. I believe that grades might even improve in the overall class average. It may also help to encourage more students to do extra curricular activities that can motivate students to do their best in school. It may even be good to encourage this now by keeping their good grades, so that later in life they may
Changing the school policy might serve as a motivator to other students, to do better in school. To get the best effort out of any student, you require a very good motivator. Sports or other activities that might help their future, will get more students to do their best efforts. It will especially help those students if the motivator is something that is fun and if it is something they love to do.
It will be very good to change the policy because it will bring out the best of ever student to do better in school.

ACF0A39D73D8,"Texting and Driving Policy
A driver should not have a phone in his hand while driving because it can turn into a bad situation. People now with this new technology are getting new phones every year. People shouldn't be able to have their phones in there cars for any purposes unless its an emergency or if someone is in the passenger seat. Cell phones should never be used while driving, because they can cause accidents.
People nowadays are on their phones while driving, which is not a good thing to do. Cell phones should never be used while driving, operating equipment, or in any situation where they can cause accidents. Although some people support using their phones while driving, there is evidence that driving, texting, and talking on the phone is a dangerous thing. People's conversations can cause an accident and turn into something unpleasant. If People text while driving, they can hit another pedestrian while just sending one text or answering the telephone.
Driving while texting is a dangerous thing to do because it can cause deaths. Texting while driving can harm or even kill a person, unless a person has a Tesla or any other car that can drive itself. According to Livescience, ""cell phone distraction causes 2,600 deaths and 330,000 injuries in the United States every year."" Also, at any given time, ""10 percent of teenagers who are driving are talking or texting"" (Livescience). This research indicates that thousands of people are dying and injured by looking or using their phones.
Anything can happen in seconds just by looking at a cellphone screen when driving or operating equipment. When a driver is distracted by their phone, they can cause accidents as well as death to themself or others. People say texting and driving is similar if not worse than drinking and driving. Both can hinder the ability to properly drive or maintain the rule of the road. Several states have banned phoning and texting while driving, particularly for new or inexperienced drivers.

18DFC8ABFA92,"Students . . . imagine being able to wake up for school in the morning but not have to leave the house, this can become a normal reality for all students enrolled in school if they were allowed to take their school courses online. People work better in an environment they are most comfortable in, which would be their home. Students would benefit from taking classes from home by being in the comfort of their home, not having to find transportation, nor having to interact with people in person if they're shy or antisocial.
Being in the comfort of their home can benefit students when working. If Generic_Name was in a school where he got bullied and picked on for his extremely small size then he would not want to be there but rather, somewhere where he feels safe and comfortable. When Generic_Name tries to do his work, all he would think about is what the other kids are saying about him or what they'll make fun of him for during lunch. When Generic_Name goes to school and has to sit in a chair all day in class, he obtains back problems. If he were at home he could sit on his bed and move around to stretch out his body to stay loose therefore, making his back not get any aches. Students being able to work in a place they're most comfortable could make them more productive.
Not having to find transportation to school would make things tremendously easier on students. Generic_Name's parents both work away from home for the Government in Generic_City. and her house is in Generic_City while her school is in Generic_City, 30 minutes away, so there isn't a bus that comes to get her therefore, she either doesn't go to school or takes an Uber, when her parents can pay for one. If Generic_Name could take school from home then she wouldn't have to miss so many days and her parents wouldn't have to pay for Ubers most of the days. Generic_Name lives 1 mile away from her bus stop, that she's supposed to walk to every morning but, she doesn't want to walk alone in the dark and her parents can't walk her because they have to work so, they try to get family members to drive her to school but most of the time they're busy. If Generic_Name was able to take her classes from home then she would'nt have to worry about walking in the dark in the mornings, where she feels scared but instead, she would'nt have to leave her house for school. Students being allowed to do school from home, would'nt have to find transportation, when they don't have it.
Students who are antisocial and don't want to interact with people, would'nt have to, if they took school at home. Generic_Name doesn't like to talk to people in person because he gets nervous and then blacks out, like when Generic_Name asked for his number during lunch break at school and then he fainted in the middle of the Cafe. If Generic_Name could take school at home then he would'nt have any problems with getting nervous then blacking out or fainting. Generic_Name doesn't talk to anyone because she gets very awkward around any new person she meets and embarrasses her self, like when Generic_Name asked what her name was in Science class and then she farted on him and fell out of her chair and onto the floor. If Generic_Name could take school from home then she would'nt have to socialize with any new people and embarrass her self. Antisocial students being able to take school from home would allow them to only have to interact with their family, that they already know, and no one new to them.
By being in the comfort of their home, not having to find transportation, nor having to socialize with people in person, when they dont want to, students would benefit from taking their school classes from home. Students can be more productive in the comfort of their home rather than in a public place, like school. Students without transportation to school, would'nt need to struggle to find any if they took their classes from home.

6FA07BBCDE53,"Cars, they are used for many purposes including taking the kids to school, going to work and many others but have you ever thought about what vehicals are doing to the Earth or the people on the Earth? Well cars have to use gasoline or diesel to move that is just how it always has been but these fossil fuels are actually poluting the Earth, and making the air we breath very ""smoggy."" If we can limit our usage of our cars there can be many advantages including having cleaner air to breath, more excercize, and also less expenses. Humans could survive without cars if we give it a shot.
Take a deap breath outside, what do you smell? Listen, what do you hear? Cars honking? A loud engine of a diesel truck? Well most likely because cars have been around for a long time and without them how would people get to work or school, but have you ever thought about what these cars and trucks are letting out of their tailpipe? Source 1 ""In German Suburb,Life goes on with cars"" says that there has been ""a huge imediment to curent efforts to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions from tailpipes"" these greenhouse gases are clogging up our atmosphere and our air. Without cars air pollution would go down emensly, and would be a big advantage. In Paris there has been ""near-record polution""- ""Paris bans driving to to smog"" By: Robert Duffer.
Now a days when people hear excersize they would run and hide but it's mostly because we have all these vehicals that can take us places without the dreaded walking or running. Americans today can get a cheeseburger in minutes through a drive-thru in their vehicals but have you ever imagined life without a car, in Columbia on "" The Day without Cars"" as said in "" Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogata By: Andrew Salsky ""Columbians hiked, biked, skated...to work during a car free day"" and even ""parks and sports centers also have smooth sidewalks"" which has ""dramatically cut traffic; and new restaurants...have cropped up"" The car free day has made excersize a little easier, and now with smoother side walks and more sports centers people in Columbia can have more opportunities to take a walk.
When you have a car its not unusual to have to go get gas atleast once every one or two weeks, but these expenses can pile up when you have to buy gas or even the oil change of your vehical. What if you get in a accident will your insurence cover it, cars and trucks take a lot of expenses and it can be hard to pay for it all and when President Obama gave the ambitious goal to lesson the greenhouse emissions last week ""Americans are buying fewer cars, driving less and getting fewer licenses as each year goes by"" -""The End of Car Culture"" By:Elisabeth Rosenthal. The usage of less cars can has a great advantage on your wallet.
As said in ""The End of Car Culture""- ""Pedestian, bicycle, private cars, commercial and piblic transportation traffic are woven into a commercial and public transportation traffic are woven into a connected networkto save time, conserve resources, lower emissions and improve safety.""

""Street parking, driveways and home garages are generally forbidden in this new experimental district on the outskirts of Freiburg, near the French and Swiss borders"". Says paragraph two in the article ""In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars"", some people may find this scenrio strange but its actually becoming more common. Many countries all over the world are starting making either a ""car free day"" or on certain days, making people pay fines for driving.
First, an example of a ""car free day"" is in Paris, France. This city has typically more smog than other European capitals. ""Last week Paris had 147 micrograms of particulate matter per cubic meter compared with 114 in Brussels and 79.7 in London, Reuters found"". After days of near-record pollution, Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear air pollution of the global city"". Monday motorists with even number license plates were ordered to leave their car at home or suffer a 22-euro fine ($31)"". The same would apply to odd number plates the following day"". The congestion went down sixty percent in the Capital of France, the smog cleared enough monday for the ruling French party to rescind the ban for odd numbered plates on Tuesday.
Secondly, another example of a car free day is in Bogota, Colombia. ""Millions of Colombians hiked, biked, skated or took buses to work on car-free day"". This day in Bogota has been celebrated for three years straight now, ""where cars have been banned with only buses and taxis permitted for the Day Without Cars in this capital city of seven million"". The goal of this day is to promote alternative transportation and reduce smog.

In conclusion, countries all over the world are trying to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and smog. Paraguay, France, Colombia, and even America is trying to get people to use different types of transportation and reduce smog. So citizens all over the world should just for one day not use a car.

D3CFD3E68F27,"A wise person once said,""Education is important but the human mind must not be too overwhelmed and stressed."" He or she basically stated that education is important but a working human still needs rest. Well my principal wants all students to participate in extracurricular activities. Most people disagree with the principal because students have to go through seven long hours of solving the quadratic formula, memorizing the United States court system, and writing down scientific formulas. They don't need to be obligated to do more activities out of school. I disagree with the principal forcing students to participate in extracurricular activities because students still have other activities out of school to do and they need some rest and downtime after seven long hours of learning.
Students still have other activities to do out of school. Kids can be participating in sports teams, karate, dancing, and many more. Adding extracurricular activities will interfere with these activities happening out of school. To add onto that having extracurricular activities to go on with the activities happening out of school can put too much stress on a young child's mind. For example, I play for two basketball teams out of school, if I were obligated to participate in extracurricular activities my schedule would be overlapped and crazy. I would be overwhelmed and I might even have to miss some practices because I would have to stay after school everyday.
Students need downtime and rest after a long seven hours of learning. Students have to go through the pain of doing algebra problems and memorizing scientific formulas for seven hours almost everyday. Usually when they get home they still have do homework that was assigned. Although students should work hard they still need some time to rest, relax, and just have some downtime. For example, I usually get assigned homework everyday. If I were forced to participate in extracurricular activities I'll be exhausted and I might not even turn in my homework in time.
In conclusion, I think the principal should not force students to participate in extracurricular activities because kids have other activities to do out of school and they still need time to relax. Making students participate in extracurricular activities would overwhelm them because when students arrive home they still have to do homework and the activities happening out of school such as sports teams and dance clubs would be overlapped.

If the parents don't want their kid staying for extacurricular activites then they shouldn't because what if the parents have something to do with their kids afterschool or they have a doctors appointement.
Majority of the student body at our school doesn't know how to play sports. The coaches at our school put people on the team that doesn't know how to play. What's the purpose of having a team with people that don't know what is going on during the games. If the students dont want to play something the shouldn't be forced to do something they don't want to do. Sport require effort to put yourself on the field and not mess up in front of the coach so that you would be able to make the team and not be embarrassed to not see your name ont the paper while eveyone that made it is celebrating.
In my opinion the student council is not something we should have at our school. A lot of the student body gets upset because the president promises something and it never happenes and then it turns in a big rivarly between everyone. We learn abut politics in our geography and i think the us as the student body shouldn't be worried about politics as much because then the student body will think that it is ok to do what the politics do and say.

Todays society does not have many cars because people have more technology today like cellphones and laptops. Several people that dont have a car either can't afford it, use a cellphone and walk places, or ride a bike places. Not everyone has the joy of driving a car so they don't bother trying to buy one. The newer cars are way over priced and noone is going to want to over pay for a vehicle. Ever since 2005 the amount of cars getting sold has been steadily dropping. When 2013 hit, the numbers of miles driven per person dropped 9% and was equal to the amount in 1995.
First, The percentage of people driving on the road went down because of the expense of the newer vehicles. The ones that were unemployed had no way of getting a new car because they did not work. Some people just did not have a good paying job to where they could be able to afford a new car. Every year more and more people loose their job so when they need a new car they will not be able to get one because they will have no money. Because of the expense of cars now the rate of ownership per household went down severely. The more the price the cars go up the lower the rate for people buying cars. Car dealerships are never going to sell any cars if they keep raising the prices.
Secondly, the people that have to sell their cars to buy a house should not have to do that. Everyone needs to have some kind of transportation but they cant with the prices of everything now a days. The prices should not be so high so people can afford to have a car for transportation and a home to live in. The world is not getting treated fairly especially the ones that are trying to get a job and noone will hire thems so they are not able to afford a car and a car payment. Noone should have to walk places to get anything because people make fun of them and there shouldn't be any judging. There are reasons the people without transportation have to walk and i believe that should change. The world should be better than what it is right now, there are so many disrespectful people in this world that think they are rich. People should never have to give up their vehicles or house for anything.
Finally, Todays society is going down because the prices shot up like a rocket these past few years. People are severely suffering because of them going up extremely quick and that should have never happened and i believe it needs to be fixed as fast as possible. The ones that are trying to get a job deserve to be able to afford a car but since noone wants to hire anyone they cant afford anything. Then, the ones selling their cars is not good they need to have a way of getting around especially if they have kids that needs to go to school or the doctors. The people suffering should not be suffering since they are trying the best they can.

0ED884A28D3B,"Phones & Driving
Majority of people use and own cellular devices which are used on a everyday basis. Drivers should not be able to use cell phones in any capacity while operating any vehicles. Using a phone is not safe for the driver or if applicable any passengers that are in the vehicle.
While driving a cell phone is a distraction. When operating a motor vehicle your full attention needs to be in the vehicles , the surrounding of the vehicle, and the road ahead. A cell phone is an immediate distraction to a driver because their focus shifts. If a driver receives a text and is able to read it their attention and eyes are now at their phone an not on the road which can cause a accident involving another vehicle with passengers in it or simply an accident with them and the passengers they have with them.
If people are able to use phones while driving it would increase the accident rates , slow down traffic , and cause more deaths and injury's. Driving requires your full attention and awareness. You need to always be aware when your driving and if your focus is on your phone your now not focused on the road.
Using your phone while driving not only is putting everybody on the roads life at risk but yours to. The accident would put you At-Fault whether you get injuries or not and therefore it would be a lot of damages you would have to pay for , especially if you were in a wreck with another vehicle or possibly multiple vehicles.
Having phones while driving isn't safe for the driver , passengers or any other moving vehicles on the roads. Using phones while driving is dangerous and should be illegal and people that take action in this crime should be strictly punished.

6.15E+11,"You ever wonder if there are any benefits on being home schooled? Schools are offering students the option to be able to take their courses from home but what good does it do? In reality, having students attend a school is a far better option. By having students attend a school they are able to gain social, collaborative, and different learning skills.
Being able to gain social skills will ultimately helps one's life. By attending a school Students are able to break out of their shell and be able to express themselves in many different ways. Presentations would build their communication skills that could help them in the future for a job interview or a meeting at work. Students would start to get comfortable with the idea of presenting to an audience and would get to speak to them without an issue. Schools also allow students the opportunity to meet different types of students that might end up being their friends. From past experiences having someone to be with throughout a school year is honestly a great moment. Not only do students get to have fun and be kids but they get to watch each other mature, which would strengthen their bond. Students are able to build off of experiences they have went through or from others so they could grow from them and try to better themselves.
Collaborative skills is a great ability for students to have. Schools do provide the opportunity for students to grow their collaborative ability and make it their own. For example, there is a high school course called ""AVID"" which teaches students to use their collaborative skills for questions they dont understand. Students ask questions that might lead them to find an understanding of how the question should be answered. Students also do a lot of presentations with group members for college researches. AVID's main goal for students is to frequently ask questions that they might be confused about. As I mentioned earlier, students being able to work in groups really allows them grow in being able to take a role in their work. Their leadership skills would also be developed giving them responsibility.
A school's teaching ability would improve a student's life by them learning how to build their skills and how would students apply them to their everyday lives.
Schools provide different learning experiences students may benefit from. It is known that each teacher has their own way of teaching their class. Some students may not like the way certain teachers teach but those are usually the ones that stand out the most. By having students struggle in a class they are improving their rigor. Taking rigorous classes would improve their learning skills which students could apply for other classes. Also, students could learn different learning methods from their teachers. Some teachers may have their own methods that may be easier and less time consuming. But, there are students that may have a hard time to be in that sort of situation. There are students that may face mental health issues that may be the reason why they are considering being home schooled. Students may not be able to handle a classroom environment, which is a good reason for them to have their course be taken at home. It would benefit students being able to learn in a comfortable environment for them.
In conclusion, allowing students to attend a school environment would benefit their lives in many ways. Schools do provide students an environment where they could benefit in the future is the school's main goal. Students are able to experience many different events that could change their lives for the better. Schools do provide the platform for students to be able to live a successful life.

783BF2A32C8E,"Some school offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing. In my opinion attend classes online is a good option for student. In this essay i will explain why I am agree that student attend classes online and I will give some examples.
In my opinion classes online is a benefit for student because many student have to work for support parents. Take classes online can be excellent option. Student can take classes before go to the job or after. They have more time to do homework and have fun. In my case I took one class online during summer this class help me too much because i dont have to take two maths classes during the school year. Another reason that take classes online is a good option for student because some student dont have car to drive to the school or collage. This is a big problem for most of the student. They don't have a person who can take to the school. Attend classes online can be easy for those student because dont have to drive to another place. They can take classes at home in computer.
Attend classes online is a good option for student who can't pay the whole school year or collage. They can pay one or two classes online for year. After this students have to work and save money for another classes. Many student choose this option because they don't have to pay all classes in the same time they have time to pay each class that the student want to take. Also many students who want to go to the school or collage live by they self. They have to pay rent, telephone, food and another stuff. Those student who live bye they self have many responsibilities and is difficult to take classes at school for all day. For those student is benefit being able to attend classes online because that classes online can be just one or two hours per day.
I think attend classes online is a benefit for student who have a busy schedule at school. They miss a class that they have to take before the school year end. Student can take this class online during that school year at home. Also online classes is a good option for student who don't have time to go school because they have baby's. They have to be at home to take care of that baby's. Most of the student who have this problem have the opportunities to be a professional taking classes online at home.
In general attend classes online is benefit for student. They don't have to go to school for all day. They can take classes online at home. Online classes is benefit for students who have to work, students that don't have money for pay all classes at the same time and for students who have baby's. In my opinion for those student that I am ready mention, attend classes online is the best way to learning . All people can be a professional no matter if they can't go to school. Student can take classes for one or two hour and them make homework or go to the job. Also attend classes online is benefit because we can take this classes in the day when we have time.",,549,Distance learning,Independent,Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing.

DD611D7D21FB,"Dear Principal,
I STUDENT_NAME have yet again do agree with you. students should not be able to play sports or participate in other activities because we should not just come to school for any thing. We come to school to learn not just to do work to just get by. Many of you boys and girls play basketball, cheerlead, run track, play football ect... but lately have you looked at your grades. Teachers come to school early to teach and you should come to school to learn.
One reason i agree with the principal new policy is because students do not want to be in a class room and feel that they are not learning. In life its not just all about doing what you can to just get by. Bad graded on a report card is not success its also not a good thing to score low in a class or to just not want to learn period. Being dumb is not a good thing. Yes students should not be able to play in sports or be in other school activities if they have a c average if they can do good after school why cant they prove that during school hours.
In addiction, i do agree to the principal because why do so good at a game but not during the hours that you are at school. in my opinion i really do not think that if your graded are bad then you should not participate in all the after school activities, because you are just wasting your teachers time to come to school and teach you. we need to do our job so they can do there's.
Further more, i do agree to the principal new idea of not allowing students to play sports or participate in all of the after school activities because why come to school to take up space and to breath air. don't waste your time in the morning to come to school and do that. being in all the after school activities is not going to help you pass. keep in mind that do well in school can take you a lone way in the future.
Hence, i STUDENT_NAME does agree with the principal on not allowing students to participated in after school activities because teachers need to do there job and we do to, also there is no point in wasting time, if you can do good after school; do well were it really counts.

89E73E0B8EF5,"Students should have summer projects; however, it should be student-designed rather than teacher-designed. Having a teacher designate and choose one's project for them can be a very confusing or frustrating moment for a student, especially if they have no idea or no enjoyment for the work which causes most students not to complete the task. Also since it's during the summer, there's a really high chance that the student will possibly forget about their project or just not do it if it doesn't interest them. Which brings up to this statement, students should design their own summer project because they'll show more interest and effort in their work compared to a teacher chosen topic, everyone project will be different and unique, and there would be a better chance that the work would be done and completed.
A student who has more control and more of a saying in what they'd be doing would boost their motivation to accomplish their self-given task. Basically a student will show more effort on their project since they are working on something that catches their eye and excitement. Having a teacher choose a student's project can possibly compromise the grade and production of the project because they'd find it a lot more hard and difficult to complete, especially since there will be little to no connection between the student and the teacher during the summer break. Yes, students will have a lot of time to complete the work given from the teacher; however, there might not be much progress done if the students aren't being directed/guided and told step by step on what their teacher expects from them and how the project should be represented. In this case it'd seem like a better option is to leave the students into leading their own work.
Having a student design their own work can open up their creativity to understanding what they can do to make their work seem appealing and fantastic. Usually people would use this has a competition to out best their fellow peers work, which can lead to blowing away their classmates and teachers mind away when they've completed the project. The students creative work can has well be a positive boost toward their grade of their project and can enlighten their peers or others on creative ways they can improve or enhance their projects in the future; furthermore, if everyone had done their projects in a teacher design way then majority of the work will look either bland, the same, or maybe even seem plagiarized. Which should conclude on why students should take control with their own work and amaze everyone on how creative they can get when they're doing something they enjoy.
Finally, there'd be a higher rate of completion because the students would want to show off their hard work and dedication they've put within their projects during the summer. After all the work they had put in, the students will feel satisfactory and accomplished that they'd want to turn the work in to the teacher; however, if the students were instead forced into what their teacher assign them it will leave them uncertain or unsatisfied about what they did, which leaves to a positive or a negative pathway. Having it one of the 2 ways could affect the students mood/mentality and effort in work to put into future tasks. So with that giving the fact, students feel more pride and accomplishment with what they did on their own terms rather them someone else's terms, would increase the rate of completion and satisfaction.
Teachers should view this has a way for students to take in charge of what they're researching about. In the end maybe the teacher will even find out something new in a interesting way of learning about it; furthermore this could also be a good opportunity for students to express the topic that interest them among their peers with their self-made project. Which brings the statement once again, students should design their own summer project because they'll show more interest and effort in their work compared to a teacher chosen topic, everyone project will be different and unique, and there would be a better chance that the work would be done and completed.

4EEC2BC4E65C,"Attention fellow citizens! Like most things, cars have it's advantages and disadvanteges. Cars have developed more problems from the usage on a regular basis. Limiting car use in cities can reduce the issues related to vehice usage to a minimum.
To begin, many cities have already set limitations on automobile usage such as Vauban, Germany and the outskirts of Freiburg near the Swiss and French boarders. Freiburg has actually banned cars except for the main thouroughfare and a few streets on the edge of the community.
70 percent of people in Vauban do not have a vehicle and 57 percent sold their car to move to Vauban. As we all know cars take a toll an the atmosphere itself by adding greenhouse gasses to the atmosphere. 50 percent of greenhouse gasses in the United states are emited through cars, but on the other hand cars are responsible for only 12 percent. It seems to be that the car-less cities tend to be declining the negative effects in the atmosphere.
Next, Paris took the no-car rule to another level by banning all cars, depending on the day, to reduce conditions in the air quality because of the emitiones from the vehicles. A thick smof loomed over the city because of the gases produced form the automobiles. Drivers with licence plates with even numbers would not use their cars for the day and odd cars would be off the next in an attempt to redice the smog. After numerous days of reduced cars the smog began clear from it's usual state.
Also, another city that's cutting down car usage is Bogota Colombia. Bogota has created a ""car-free"" day to reduce the harmful gases created by cars and to encourage alternative forms of transportation. Anyone driving a vehicle would be fined $25. The turnout was big with many people participating showing reat results on the atmospheric conditions above the city. Another great thing that came out of this is the enthusiasm it brought to other countries who wanted some thing like this to encourage other formes of transportation and reduce pollution.

CF0869D8847B,"Dear Principle,
I have been hearing a lot of talk about how you are going to change the school cell phone policy.
I think that you should allow students to bring phones to school, and let them use them during lunch periods and other free times.
I don't think they should be on during classes though.
I also think the other kids at school will agree with this and follow the policy.
Here are some reasons why I strongly think you should make this the new cell phone policy.
One reason I think that the new cell phone policy should be policy one is because then kids still couldn't have their phones out in class.
So i mean they aren't going to do anything bad or cheat or anything.
Plus then they would be able to use their phones during passing times and at lunch, so they wouldn't feel the need to use them during classes as much.
It wouldn't really be better fort eh students because if you ban phones kids are still going to bring them and use them so it is just pointless to use that policy.
And that is why i think the new cell phone policy should be policy 1.
Another reason I think the new cell phone policy should be policy 1 is because if you use policy 2 students are still going to bring and use their phones at school.
Their parents gave them a phone for a reason... to use.
So that is what they are going to do.
They will just secretly use them.
I know that maybe you think that it will work but it really wont if they really want to use their phones they still will.
That's why i think you should use policy 1, they still wont be able to use their phones during class with that one.
The last reason i think you should use policy 1 instead of policy 2 is because students would like this better.
I know that!
They could than communicate with their friends, their friends that don't go to the same school as them.
When you were a teenager your friends are the thing that keep you going, right?
Well that is how it is now, they needs to be able to talk to all their friends all the time.
In class they are busy and working and doing all that boring stuff.
At lunch students want to talk to all their friends and the cell phone makes it possible.
That's why i think you should choose policy 1.
So you can see that policy 1 would be a better fit for teenagers.
I hope now you can understand that.
So please pick policy 1.
It would make all the students very happy! Thank you for your time! ",,451,Cell phones at school,Independent,"Your principal is reconsidering the school's cell phone policy. She is considering two possible policies:

this community and its people can really make change in the environment. students can also help the young and tutor them. not can it only help the little ones but out can also save time for the teachers. other volunteer work can be fedding the hungry ia soup kitchen or donating food to them. in the communiy eldery people can also use help. students can help the eldely with stuff they cant do foe themselves. another tasks can be painting over the graffiti in the street walls. students can spend their time helping the communits and not on the street.
this change can really help and benefit the community .so please consider rthe idea.

Dear Principal of SCHOOL_NAME,
You know you have heard what kids have been saying right, about if we should be required to do community service or not? Well I have friends that support both sides of the issue, and they are constantly bickering at one another, and is just want that to stop. So before you read this letter think to yourself, should i make kids do community service ? Well after you read this letter, your decision will most likely be yes, i should make kids do community service.
As I stated up top, i think you should make us do community service, even if we don't want to. One reason why you should make us do community service is so that we know kind of what we want to be when we grow up. By doing community service, it opens up opportunities, and different choices that we never knew we had. So say someone has their mind set on being a professional athlete, but then gets the urge to be a firefighter? Then he can do community service to see if that urge to be a firefighter was a legitimate idea.
Doing community service also builds a person's character. I say this because what if someone was mistreated all of there life, wrong place at the wrong time, you know what I mean. So community service lets those type of people get away from their life, and help other people's, thus resulting in building character, and thus further resulting in a changed person for the rest of their life
In conclusion, I am for making kids do community service. I am for this for a few reasons. My first reason for this is to make kids figure out what path they are going to be headed down in life, and maybe even change that path to a better one. Another reason is that community service builds character, and it can also result in the changing of somebody's whole entire life. So after you read this letter, I hope you can see deep down inside your heart that making kids do community service is only a good thing. And I am sick and tired of hearing my friends argue all the time. So if you are going to make a decision, I think almost everyone at are school would hope that you would make a decision sooner rather than later. So i guess also see you at school Mr. Principal.

EBBC9006CE52,"In 1976 NASA'S Viking 1 Mars Global Surveyor had taken a picture of a face-like form on Mars.
The area that this was found in is common for having these types of forms.
This land form was found in Cydonia, a region on Mars.
This form on Mars is a natural land form, although many people thought it to be created by aliens.
This thought had sparked sudden interest into the people about Mars, when it was released to the public.
Scientists had further looked into it and found it was just a land form.
However, somone had still thought that this was created by extra terestrials because they knew it was winter in Cydonia, so it was cloudy.
They stated that they thought the clouds could have blocked off many features of this land form.
They also thought that if you had taken a clearer picture then you would see many other features explaining that another life form had created it.
The same picture was later on taken in 2001.
This picture had many more pixels to show an HD picture of the object.
This updated picture showed a much more smooth and almost dome-like formation instead of a face.
This led many scientists to believe that this is a natural land form.
Some of the rock's features still had resembled a little bit of a human face.
Before NASA could know for sure wether this was natural or not they made the face on Mars a priority to take more pictures and find where it is and when they did, they had found that yes, it was just simply a natural landform.
In conclusion, NASA had seen a face on Mars and couldn't figure out what it was so they took more pictures as the technology advanced.
This allowed scientists to know for sure that this was a natural thing.

9638A0515968,"There is a new technology called Facial Action Coding System. This Coding System can identify your emotions. Dr. Paul Eckamn has been classifiying six emotions."" Eckamn has classified six basic emotions happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness."" ""-Then associated each with characteristic movements of the facial muscles.""
They have started useing this technology in schools now. ""A classroom computer could recognize when a studen is becoming confused or bored."" ""Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor."" After reading this information from the article, I think we should have this type of technology in school. It could really help the kids who do not talk to their teacher at all. But there is also a downfall of useing this type of technology.
Some of the bad things that could happen is the computer misreading the kid wrong. Therefore, giving him wrong information about what ever he is learning about. It is also very expensive. The worst thing that could happen is the teachers who went to school their whole life trying to become a teacher, they are now jobless. What is the point of paying somebody to teach a student when there is now a computer in their school to do it. That is one of the major negative things from this technology.
Some of the good things that could happen is the student actually learning. There are many students who just sit in the back of the class not talking, but when a computer can do it for them they will probably learn a lot more. They don't have to say one word because when the computer feels that you are sad/happy it would change the subject.""For example, if you smile when a Web ad appears on your screen, a similar ad might follow. But if you frown, the next ad will be different."" It can really tell how the student is feeling and their emotions at that current time.
In the end, we can take a few positives and a few negatives from this. In the long run it would be better but in the short run it wouldn't. Students will be a lot more smarter but a little bit less social. Teachers might be jobless but the students will probably have a better education and will just be smarter in general.

I think this type of technology is great to read students facial expressions. Because if a student is feeling sad and the school didn't know the school can help that kid if there is something wrong. They could figure out weather that kid is always bored in a certain class so maybe the teacher can make the class funner. They can use this technology to see if a kid is angry in a certain class and that the school can ask why the student gets so angry in that class like is he getting bullied or he just hates the class. Im all for this technology i think it's really cool.
But there are also the negatives to this technology. Lets say a student dosent want anyone to watch him when he's trying to do work or when he's at home doing stuff. Students don't want their privacy invaded. If students don't want people to know what feelings they are going thorugh then maybe they should'nt do this.

0A373C01EAD7,"I believe students shouldn't have to participate in any extracurricular activity. Here is why I disagree, some students have to go home and take care of a sibling or grandparent, a student may have had a bad day or they might not have time to stay for the activity, and many students already stress enough with school. So why make it worse?
One reason why it shouldn't be necessary is, many students have to take care of their sibling or grandparent. For example, a student might have to go home and make food for a younger sibling because their parents are working and it is their job to care for them. Another example is, a student may have a grandparent that lives with them that is not very mobile or they simply can't take care of themselves.
A Second reason why it shouldn't be necessary is, a student may have had a bad day at school and they probably want to go home but can't. For example, failing a test can be very hard on students sometimes because they know it might affect their grade which could instantly ruin their day. Another example is, some students don't have time because they might have a sport outside of school or they might have a family problem and need to get home once school finishes.
A Third reason why it shouldn't be necessary is, school is very stressful for us students because we are expected to learn everything very quick and to have good grades but sometimes we just need time to relax. Another example is, forcing a student to do an extracurricular activity like a sport or serving on student council can make us start dreading school more than we already do.
These are the reasons why I disagree, students shouldn't have to participate in any extracurricular activity because students have siblings or grandparents to take care of, having a bad day or having no time for after school, and school make students stress a lot.

BE26EC99E7F5,"Emotional expresions of students in a classroom are valuable because they show what they feel, as well as actons do. It would be awesome if this creations would be created because when a student is bored, their face will change they way of a lesson if needed.
Studens emotions are valuable because they express how we feel, like if friend dies, our face will show that we are sad. If we do great on something, like winning a contest, our face will show that we are happy. Our teenage years are the most important because we have alot of different emotions, that change our lives.
Another reason that students emotions are valuable is becease we are growing up. Growing up is hard for parents, but it is hard for the kids too, they have to deal with the parents strict rules. Emotions are what makes you, me , and everyone else. Our emotions tell us who we are, what we like, how we feel.
Emotions make character in every circumstance.
The text states "" For instance, you can tell how a friend is feeling simply by the look on their face."" We have 44 muscles that make us unique, but they all show the same emotion. We can try to hide our emtion, but there will always be one person who can tell what emotions you are really feeling, that person is you, your parents. When you make a certan face, only you know that feeling at the moment.
If you have real freinds they bring you up when your down, only because they see your emotions.
In conclusion student emotions are valuable because, emotions make character, they also change lives, they make you, you. and they leave an impact. they show what you feel. They also show if you disagree with something. Those 44 muscles in your face makes you unique, nothing can change that, thats the best part, God made no mistakes, he made you in his image. People try to hide their depression, when they do it gets worse, only because they didn't tell anybody.

04C90EF1C88A,"In the article ""Making Mona Lise Smile,"" the author describes a wonderful technological advancement called the Facial Action Coding System (FACS). This technology allows for computers to analyze a human face and determine the emotion, or emotions, that person is feeling. With the help of this new software, Professor Thomas Huang, of the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science at tge University of Illionois, and Professor Nicu Sebe, of the University of Amsterdam, were able to determine that the Mona Lisa is 83% happy, 9% disgusted, 6% fearful, and 2% angry. This outstanding innovation can be very beneficial to society. They have created something that can not only help us have a better understanding of the body, but can also change the way we communicate in drastic ways.
With FACS we, as people, will be able to better understand the anatomy behind joy, depression, anger, all of it! We will have access to parts of the brain that millions of scientists have never understood. FACS creates oprotunity for discovery far beyond what we already know. For centuries scientists have been asking, ""What makes a happy person happy?"" and ""What is causing all these mood swings?"" With these advancements applied, we can know when a change in mood happens and use brain scans to figure out where and why this is happening.
""Communication is key!"" That's something we all hear all of the time but no one seems to be any good at. The suicide rate is out of control and the divorce rate is crazy high. Using FACS we can deminish these numbers! A simple understanding of the emotions another human is displaying can change, and save, lives. If we have the technology to understand what a person is feeling, then we can fix things before they completly fall apart. We can offer solutions to the problems that people are facing everyday simply by understanding how they feel and what is causing their hurt. This technology could be the difference between wether or not your parents stay together or your friend jumps off a bridge. That is why I believe this technology should be immediately incooperated into society. It can save lives, it can save love.

93F5F89369D9,"Can multiple advice's benefit your choice on what to do? Most people believe that multiple advice's is better than just one advice. When people ask for an advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person.
Asking for advice to multiple friends is better than one because of the following reasons. When someone asks more than one person they all can get a different response. The person who said their advice might say why they said that about their certain response. If people only ask one person, they might say the wrong thing to do. When I ask someone for an advice, they sometimes might tell me to do a wrong thing. After, I ask my friends for advice and then when they give me the advice, later on I think on my own what is the right thing to do. I think about what everyone said and the reason why they said their responses, then make my decision on what I should do. Questioning advises to friends gets their point of view of how they might see things. Their point of view will make you think of the situation and to make a correct choice. When I ask peers for an advice, later they tell me what they would do and why they would do that so then I start to see how they are thinking. Seeing different point of views is good because I can see the good and bad things about a choice. Lastly, I have to think what is the best for me and see the best point of view to see if I might the correct decision.
Advice from best friends is better than just friends! Asking friends for an advice is better than some person that doesn't do good things. Best friends are the best choice to ask for a advice, even better than just asking regular friends! When I ask for an advice I mostly go to my best friends first, because we know each other well and tells me the right thing to do. My best friends know me so they will advice the best for me. My best friends help me make the right decision. Best friends tell you the truth about what choice to make. They even tell you the good and bad things for both sides of the answer. I trust more best friends than friends because some friends just lie to make you do the wrong thing unlike best friends help you to do the right things. Best friends even help me up if the decision I made was bad, but its not always like that for peers. Peers can help me for an advice but not like a best friend because they really do try to help me.
For these reason I believe that multiple advises are better than one. Also, best friends are the best choice to pick for an advice. More point on views is better than one.

A2E37BB8E275,"Since the beginning of time, humans have been known to ask for advice from more than one person, whether it be for the best way to cook dinner or for the best method to conquering a country. Recently, it has been questioned as to why people ask multiple people for advice. Asking multiple people for their opinions on a topic could waste time and effort if the topic turns out to be a bad choice. However, going into one thing based off of a single person's opinion could potentially waste more time. Instead, seeking more than one opinion can help people make better decisions because everyone thinks differently. First, hearing people's experiences gives someone accurate information. Second, creating a survey showing the pros and cons of the subject could give someone an idea of what the subject is about. Finally, getting a variety starting programs could allow people to understand what their current level is at. Knowing this, asking multiple people for their opinions would allow someone to understand the topic and create a confident decision.
First, hearing of someone else's experience could benefit the beginner. If people were to start a game without looking at reviews, they would not know if that game was good or bad. Reading the reviews would allow the player to understand if the game would suit their taste or if it is not worth their time. A second example would be of an author making a realistic fiction book based on soldiers experiences during a war. The aspiring author could ask veterans of their experiences in the military or the battlefield to get accurate information. If the author were to ask only one veteran, they would only get one person's opinion and not everyone else's. However, asking for multiple opinions would allow the author to write about what an average soldier felt during their time in training or war. Hearing everyone's experience in a subject would allow one person to get an understanding on the topic instead of hearing a single opinion.
Second, getting a better viewpoint on the topic would allow someone to get a more unbiased opinion. Asking just one person of their opinion on a book is not enough. Instead, asking more people would allow someone to see what type of book it is. Elaborating on this, someone might tell their friend they dislike a romance novel because they do not like romance. However, the friend could ask another friend who might say they enjoyed the book because of the plot. Creating a survey on the topic could also help the reader graph out the pros and cons of the book; having a good story line and a bad romance. The survey could also show the reader if the book is a good fit for them depending on what the reader likes to read. Making a survey based on people's opinions on a subject would allow someone to understand if the subject is good for them.
Finally, if the person has decided that they want to start learning the topic, getting advice on how to begin from different people is a good way to learn. For example, learning how to program. If someone were to want to program but did not have anyone to guide them in the beginning, they would not know where to start. Getting one opinion might not help either; the starting point the person gave might not help their friend because they both have different methods of learning. However, getting different sources of learning could help a person learn how to code. For example, the first person someone asks for advice from might have a difficult program that is above one's skill level. However, that program could be used for a later time when a person reached that point. The second person someone could ask for advice might have a better starting point because they both started to program with the same amount of initial experience. Receiving different sources would allow someone to try out new methods of learning and seeing which one benefits them the most.
To make the best choice, people talk to more than one person to get different opinions on the subject. Hearing of multiple people's experiences could benefit other people because it allows them to understand the difficulty of the task. Getting a survey of everyone's opinions could tell a person what the general viewpoint of this topic was. Finally, asking for the best ways of how to start would allow them to receive the best education. Asking for advice from multiple people could give a person a better perspective on a topic and decide whether or not they want to spend time on it.

Luke joined the seagoing cowboys after he graduated highschool. While Luke was on the ship his job was to clean up the spaces which had the animals in it. Sometimes his job was to check the animals every hour. Luke says that ""it was the opportunity to see or do different things. Besides helping people.""
when the ship arrived at different places Luke would explore the areas and go try different things. For example, he went on a gondola ride in Venice. Another example is he toured in a excavated castlein crete. My final example is that Luke marveled at the Panama canal. Luke also saw Acropolis and China.
Luke also found time to have laughs on the ship. The crew members and Luke after cleaning the hold would do sports. Such as, baseball and volleyball games. The would also do table-tennis tournaments, fencing, boxing, reading , writing, and whittling. They also did boardgames.

7D6824D0C102,"The Electoral College is a process put in place by the founding fathers as a compromise for the election of the President. It is a combination vote of the Congress and of the citizens of the United States. The Electoral College is on of the most disputed political topics right now. The electoral college is a proper method for electing presidents because it forces presidential candidates to have transregional appeal and it rules out the possibility of an election where neither candidate recieves the majority of the votes.
The Electoral College doesn't allow a candidate to win by gaining their electoral votes from one region. As stated in source 3, ""no region has enough electoral votes to elect a president"" meaning that if a candidate were to only campaign in a region that they knew would vot for them, then there is no possible way they would win. For example, in 2012 Mitt Romney was a favorite in the south so he had no incentive on campaigning heavily in other states because that he had won the south over completely. Not only did he not win a major electoral state, Florida, but he also didn't campaign in ohter states for which he gained no electoral votes. Even by some chance that they win, there is a very small chance of them being reelected because the regions that they didn't campaign in will feel disenfranchised and that will cause them not to vote for the president again. So if a candidate doesn't camapign in all regions that doesn't mean he won't win the election the first time, but he is likely to lose the reelection.
With the Electoral College process in place, it rules out the possibility of an candidate not winning the majority of the votes. For example, their have been two elections where a president only had 43 percent of the popular votes, which some people would think that would be enough, but the those presidents had the majority of the electoral votes which is what caused them to win. Even though there is a slight possibility of this happening, there are always those couple of states that are last minute decisions and are called ""toss-up states"" because nobody ever knows who will win that state over and it might be a state like Louisiana, who only has 8 eletoral votes but 8 votes is enough to break a tie and even win the election for someone.
On the other hand, some people might argue that the Electoral College method might turn off potential voters due to a candidate showing that they have no interest in carrying that state due to what party that state carries, but no one voter can decide an election, and that is because the voter doesn't vote for what president they want, but for what electors they want who in part will vote for the candidate. Though they have a valid arguement the Electoral College is still the right method for the job.
In conclusion, the Electoral College is the proper method because it forces presidents to campaign in multiple regions and it rules out the possibility of a tie in the election. The president is suppose to rule for the people and some people might not vote for a president just because they don't like them but with the Electoral College the right president wins.

C08F1994B248,"Offering distance learning can be extremely beneficial, depending on the child. Some children often feel safer at home than they do in school. Often times this can be due to bullying, mental disorders, or the desire to be at home with people they can trust. Children might also benefit from having one on one conversations with their teachers. In a public school, children might be nervous or scared to ask questions, give answers, or put themselves out there when they need help. An environment that makes sure a student is comfortable, will ensure that all questions are being answered. Finally, the education provided to a student at home is no different from the material public school students are learning in a classroom. Personally, distance learning seems like the perfect choice for students who have a hard time learning in a public school environment. These children have the opportunity to obtain a personal connection with a teacher, they are still getting a good education, and are more comfortable at home than in school.
When a child does not feel safe at a public school, this can distract their ability to learn and think. Many adolescents are bullied, which can cause a variety of mental disorders. Bullying disturbs a childs thought process and mental health. Mental disorders are becoming a larger problem than ever. Children can be diagnosed with anxiety, depression, and anger issues. These problems can all stem from being in a public school. When a child is at home, they do not need to worry about the bullying as much and can focus on their school work. Being around people that make you anxious will hinder your ability to retain knowledge. All a child will think about are these people who are making them feel sad, anxious, or angry. If a student decides to learn from home, they have the chance to ignore the people or things that make them feel bad and focus on their education.
Children who are in an environment that make them feel safe can often go out of their comfort zone. Often times, students do not ask essential questions becuase they are scared of scrutiny from their fellow class mates. This can leave a gap in a students knowledge of the topic. For example, if a student is learning a subject that is tough and their questions are not being asked, true comprehension is not being obtained. Being in a one on one setting can give a child a better chance at asking essential questions. Another upside to learning from a private teacher is the personal relationship that is gained. When a teacher better understands you, they have the chance to teach the way that a child needs. In a large class room, the teacher does not get the chance to teach every student individually. All children learn differently, and some can not learn any other way. When a teacher better understands the student, they can teach the way that the student will benfit from the most. The teacher can also get to know a student on a deeper level. Having a connection with a teacher is extremely difficult in a large classroom. When a student and teacher can connect, the chances of the student being more enthusiastic about learning is higher. The students drive to exceed expectations is also higher. Being in a one on one setting gives the teacher a better chance to understand the student and what the student needs. This also gives the student the chance to better understand the expectations of them.
The children who are taught from home are also recieving the same education, if not better. The cirriculum and subject matter is the same as what they would be learning in a public school. These children also get the opportunity to take the subject at their own pace. If they need more time digging a subject into their brains, they can get extra time. This might not be the same for public school students, because all students move on together regardless of anyone getting left behind. In public school, if a child does not understand the material, there is not much time for a teacher to review a topic before they have to move on. When it is just the student and teacher, the student can ask as many questions as needed and the teacher can answer the questions that that student has. Some children are slower learners and others are fast learners. It is hard to have to follow someone elses learning style and still have to understand the material being given to you. Often times public schools have programs for the slow learners and the students who need extra help with test taking, but it is not enough. These programs at public schools can help students with test taking, but they do not ensure that the child is learning everything they need in the classroom.
The distance learning program seems like it has many positive outcomes. In contrast, I do not believe this program is for everyone. Many students benefit from being in a larger, more social environment. For the students who can not handle public schools, this program is the perfect choice. It provides each child with the chance for an equal education, while getting the extra help they might need.

I personally feel like it's a bad idea to create this car, even though there are some good points to it.
I get car sick, and I'm sure many people in this world get car sick too. I have found that when I drive, I don't get car sick, one reason it that I'm keeping my mind busy and focus on driving. With self driven cars I would not be driving, so I'll get car sick, I would rather walk to my destination, than get sick and dizzy because of driverless car. However, you're probably thinking ""I don't car sick."" So letting me move on. Everyday someones computer crashes, phones freeze, or their eletronic device's battery runs out. What does this have to do with the car? Well, I'm glad you asked. If this is a driverless car it is a known fact that it'll be electronic. So imagen you're driving in the high way when you're car manlfunctions and shuts down. If you can't get you're car under controll quick enough you'll crash right in to the person in front or beside you. Technology is known to fall apart and malfuntion all the time, so most likely this driverless car will cause more accidents.
This idea of a driverless car is not all bad. There are some good things about it too. For example, texting and driving will be less dangerous, drunk people will be able to drive home without worrying about crashing, or if there is a traffic jam, you don't have to worry, because the car will provide entertainment for you. It's the future now. Of course everyone wants to take things to the next level. I just don't think we're ready yet.
In conclusion. driverless cars are a bad idea because they'll cause more car crashes, make people lazier, cause many people to get car sick, including myself, and it'll do more bad than good.

FF3F4514BF85,"Everyone in this world has probably wanted to try something new and extravagant, but they probably want someones opinion on the activity before they go off and try it on their own. When most people ask for advice they're like why should I ask, who cares, well here is some reasons why it would be good to ask for advice. You could find someone who has experienced the activity first hand, someone could maybe even help you create a brand new opinion you have never thought about, or the advice could help you with your take, or opinion on the activity. All of these things will definitely help you make the right decision in the end.
One of the first things you could do if you needed some advice is ask someone who has been through, or experienced the activity. You could ask them how it was, what you did, or even simply is it worth the money or time. Another reason this is a good idea is it can show you the good or bad outcomes. You can ask the person to elaborate on the topic a little more if they can to see if your'e actually interested in their experience with the activity. This option will definitely help you in the long run when you make your decision.
When asking for advice, people will have plenty different takes on what will happen. This may cause someone to bring a new opinion into your head. This could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on how you take it. If you handle it well you can more likely understand the other persons point of view on the activity. Something else a person can do is convince you to change your mind. Now this can be a big one because they could tell you a story or a myth about how something could go wrong, because grant it people are less likely to go somewhere or do something if they hear a horrifying story or myth.
Finally something else that could happen while asking for advice and trying to make a good decision is someone could just simply agree with you. This is probably either the most helpful one or least helpful one. It can be very helpful if the person your'e talking to will help you add more detail, or another possibility would be they can give you new ideas, with a different point of view, but have the same main idea. One of the more negative, or least helpful things someone could do for you is agree and walk away, and if that happens you can just go find someone else to talk to.
In conclusion, I belive these ideas will help you make the right choice in the end. From asking someone who has had the experience, to someone helping you create a new opinion, or someone even just elaborating on your topic.

41CAD080DC9D,"Dear principal,
I strongly believe that you should choose the first policy. One reason is that, even if you ban cell phones from school students will still be bringing them to school no matter what. Also, if there were to be an emergency in the school, I don't believe that there would be enough phones at the school to inform each parent at once. Next, cell phones wouldn't cause a problem if each student were to turn it off in class and then be able to use them at lunch.
Each student should be able to bring a cell phone to school so that they can carry it around in case of an emergency. For example, lets say that someone breaks into the school during the day and the students are in danger. There would not be enough time to call each parents, but if students were to have a cell phone they could call or send a text message to their parents telling them what's wrong. Also, if you ban cell phones, I know that there are students out there that enjoy getting in trouble, but if u were to not ban them, the students wouldn't feel the need to be a pet peeve.
Then again i strongly suggest you choose the first policy due to emergencies and the need to save yourselves from getting mad at students if they bring their cell phones to school. Please consider my suggestion and thank you for your time.

B7EF8F40B761,"Phones and Driving
Nowadays in modern society there are many ways to interfere with safe driving conditions. More specifically something that a numerous amount of people us in their daily lives. This object is a cell/smart phone and it can determine life or death. There is a time and place for these devices but the road is not one of them. Yet, like every problem there is a solution and the solution to this problem can be fixed by heavy law enforcement.
The majority of people own or at least have seen a phone. Those devices have become more common over the years. These devices can become addictive and can lead to bad choices. For example, if you are driving and you get a text most people's reaction is to pick up the phone and look at the message. Even if you think it is harmless you could be in potential danger.
There are many dangers on the road already. Cell phones usage only makes worsens the fact that there are risks on the road. For safe driving conditions you have to keep in mind that if you use your phone while driving that text could be your last. Help out your community and become a safer driver.
When people ignore the fact that they are not just endangering themselves but also drivers. That means the law enforcement needs to step in and take action to correct it. That would be the most effective way to simmer down this issue of cell phone usage during a vehicle operation. No texting and driving laws will definitely get into people's head.
In the end you can make a difference. You can help by not answering that text or call while driving. There are many dangers on the road like new drivers and weather conditions so take that into consideration.

D4F826201416,"Some schools do require students to do projects over summer break, however i do think they should be student-designed. The students should design a project that they would be interested to do, but the teacher would have to revise the project to make sure its a project involving school. Also the teacher can see work that the students picked and chose to do, and the teacher could learn more about that student.
The students project should be about something that interests them in their life. The teacher would still make sure its an appropriate topic to do, but for the most part the student should pick and choose what he or she will do. I remember in elementary school my teacher assigned a summer project called, ""All about me"". Even though she picked the topic to the project me and the rest of the students had to really put together the project because it was a personal project that was about ourselves. It was a fun project to do for the most part. I got to put all of my work on a poster board; i talked about my favorite hobby, sport, and color. I also talked about how many sibings i have and their names and ages. It was a good project to do over the summer because it wasn't too overwelming.
A student-designed project lets the teacher know more about that person an how he or she does their work. Students would most likely pick a topic on something easy, but i dont think thats a issue. The students should pick something that they dont have to sit down and think too hard about. It's summer time they dont want to sit down to do a school project during the summer and have to stress about how they dont know how to do it and they just end up not doing it because it was too hard and overwelming. Everyone knows when they get frustrated when their doing something important they just want to give up because they feel like it wont be good enough. Thats how i feel when a teacher gives me work to do and i find it difficult and not interesting i just wanna give up and not do it.
When students are on their summer break mostly everyone goes out of town or their working, so they dont really have a lot of time on their hands. The teacher should atleast let their students do the project in however form they want too as long as they complete the task, i dont think they should be counted out for how little the project is when its completed. As long as the student has all the right points on his or her project they should get a completion grade for even starting it over the summer break; the time where everyone should be relaxing and just having a good time, not doing a school project in the middle of summer break. Like who wants to be out at a resort somewhere for vacation and all of a sudden you remember you have a project that is a lot of points due right when you come back from break ,like thats a lot of stress. It would be so much easier to do a project you picked yourself because you would already know what your gonna put down on your project. You wouldnt have to think so hard on one task.

We're still researching on the real idea of what is may have came from in the pass years. Also, many says it may be a reflected or shadow from something. Other scientist conclude that it may be just rocks in a hug formation which resembles a human head formed by shadows or dust giving illusion of eyes, nose ,and mouth. They called it ""The Face on Mars."" Most of the commuication of it started in a Hollywood film. Appeared in books ,magazines, radio talk shows , even hauted grocery store checkoutlines for 25 years.

I do not feel that these consequences are necessary to get your point across. There are other ways to enhance the B average level that do not have consequences like these. You could require teachers to stay and work with the children who have a lower average than most separately from the rest of the children on certain times or days. So as you can see this policy should be changed and rethought due to the reasons in this letter. Thank you, and i hope you recon sitter this policy change.

D1C348E61565,"Texting & Driving
Everyday around the United States studies show that one out of ten people are killed by drivers that are distracted by their phones and about 1500 are critically injured. One of the most dangerous and distracting things you could possibly do is texting while driving. It is very dangerous because people who text and drive are putting extra attention onto their phone and that takes away their sight of the road which raises the chances of that person losing control of the vehicle which can cause a fatal crash that can injure the driver, injure another person or even kill the person. When a person is using their phone, their thinking about everything else besides concentrating on their surroundings and driving.
The statistics are very poor, because according to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) in 2011 3,331 were involved in car accidents and unfortunately died because of a distracted driver on his phone, and 387,000 were severely hurt in vehicle crashes. Also according to a recent search by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute revealed that drivers who are looking at their phones are twice as likely to crash or come close to crashing than those who are paying attention to the road. These statistics are becoming more regular as people start to use their phone more and more everyday, especially those of younger ages.
For this reason it is extremely that we find different ways to terminate this terrible habit of texting and driving. To me I think that one of the best ways to cut this habit is to just turn off your phone while driving. Doing this will keep the driver focused on the road and not the buzzing and ringing the phone makes, this will also stop the driver from texting. Another way is that there are actually apps that can disable your phone while you're driving and another app that can text that person and tell them that you're driving and you'll text them back later. These are some great apps that we can use to our advantage and stop our habits of texting and driving. A great way to stop looking at your phone is that if you have a friend or another person in the car, have them check the phone while you're driving so you don't have too.
Something that is highly important is that a lot of the states have begun to pass a couple laws that orders drivers to completely stop texting and driving. But we need to be profound: none of these laws will work efficiently if the people of the society don't understand that texting while driving could have immaculate consequences, not only for the people driving but also other bystanders and innocent people. In my opinion I don't think that answering your phone is more important than your life and other people's lives. Using your phone can wait until you get where you need to be.

4D0233F6C1E8,"The face on Mars is a very interesting thing. It looks like a human head but there is now way it could be because it is two miles long. Some people say that is was made by aliens. NASA says that it is just a rock formation that happend naturaly. There are many arguments for both sides. I'm going to tell you the arguments from the side that says it is just a natural rock formation. This face on Mars is a natural rock formation because, if it were made by aliens than when they got close to it they would have saw things that would be unatural. Another reason is it looks like buttes and mesas that we have here in the United States. Lastly we have been studying this for twenty five years and never before has an alien came up and said, ""Hi I made this"".
The first reason why I thin that this was a natural formation is that we have gotten realy close to the formation and never have we seen any aliens or even any buildings other than the face. On April 8,2001 it was a cloudless summer dday in Cydonia, Mars Global Surveyor drew close enough for a second look. We had to roll the spacecraft 25 degrees to center the Face in the field of view, said Garvin. Malins team captured an extraordinary photo using the cameras absolute maximum resolution. Each pixel in the 2001 image spans 1.56 meters, compared to 43 meters per pixel in the best 1976 Viking photo. This proves how close they got to the planet and they never had anything happen to the nor did they see anything. Thust proving my first point.
Another reason this formation is natural is that there are formation in the United States that have naturlay occured. Buttes and mesas look very similar to the face on Mars. This is what NASA says about it ,what the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesalandforms common around the American West. It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho, says Garvin. Thats a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars. This shows that there are very simmilar things to the face in our world today. Thus proving my second point.
Lastly we have been studying this thing for twenty five years. NASA has been taking pictures of it for a long time now and they have not found any signs of life on Mars. Some people would say that NASA is hiding stuff. NASA would not hide stuff like this for many reasons. Here is what they say about it. The Face on Mars has since become a pop icon. It has starred in a Hollywood film, appeared in books, magazines, radio talk showseven haunted grocery store checkout lines for 25 years! Some people think the Face is bona fide evidence of life on Marsevidence that NASA would rather hide, say conspiracy theorists. Meanwhile, defenders of the NASA budget wish there was an ancient civilization on Mars. Thus proving my third point.
So in conclusion there are no signs of alien life on the planet. This is how NASA concluded there point. Michael Malin and his Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) team snapped a picture ten times sharper than the original Viking photos. Thousands of anxious web surfers were waiting when the image first appeared on a JPL web site, revealing . . . a natural landform. There was no alien monument after all.

Not very long ago, I like many before me, got my liscense at the age of sixteen. That day will forever linger in my mind everytime I put the keys in the ignition. As a young driver, my saftey is always a concern. I learned the true aspects of saftey in my drivers education course, and saftey has been stuck in my mind since. If we create a world where us as humans are no longer in control of saftey, are we not creating an unsafe world?

771C8CAD2E80,"Dear TEACHER_NAME,
Helping the community is very important, and I'm sure many people think that. There are many citizens that volunteer for community services such as picking up litter, tutoring children, helping in soup kitchens, etc. As important as community service is, I do not believe it should be mandatory.
Many students have other extra curricular activities, and jobs in or out of the house they must participate in. Therefore, I'm sure these students don't have the time after school to do community service. If those kids had to do community service, it would most likely add stress to their lives and give them less time to do homework, so their grades could begin to slip. On the weekends is when kids relax and have fun with their friends and family, so it wouldn't be a good idea to make community service time on the weekend.
But, if you really think it's a good idea that kids help their community, maybe in some classrooms, teachers could put a donation box where kids could donate money to a local organization. The class with the most donations can win a pizza party, or a trip somewhere - maybe a trip to the organizations headquarters to see how everything works?

A1CDD5F607CF,"Take a moment to imagine what it would be like to know what the people around you are interested in. Wouldn't it be nice to know a lot of them held similar interests in comparison to you? Studies show that friendships tend to last longer when you're around people who like things that you like. I believe that the principal's decision to have all of the students participate in an extracurricular activity would be a good idea because it can help students learn to organize their time, help them find people with similar interests to make friends, and it could physically, and mentally, strengthen the students.
In order for one to survive as an adult, you must learn to organize your time. When doing extracurricular activities, because it is outside of school (most of the time) it is helpful to know when you have things planned. This way, a student could get work done for school, go to baseball practice, and still have time to go shopping with their friends. As an adult, you must schedule meetings, or interviews for jobs. Doing extracurricular activities would be great for the students; After all, it could help them learn to organize time for the future.
However, time isn't the most important subject when it comes to these activities. I believe that doing extracurricular activities would help students find their ""people"". I personally have done multiple sports, and currently have many interests such as, band, art, and swim. I have found that within these interests, I have made more friends than I could have if I didn't express them. I have held onto more relationships that date back to when we met in something that we liked, rather than something we didn't. Your ""people"" could also end up leaning you in the direction of different jobs. They could help you find things that you like, because they like the same things.
Finally, I believe that it could physically, and mentally strengthen the students who participate in such activities. When doing sports, I can confirm that you will most definitely become more physically able if you happen to like the sport. If you'd prefer to work in a group, by doing things such as band, yearbook, or student council, colleges might look to accepting you because you have the mental stability to work in a group. This could help the students with in-school activities such as projects.
I believe that the principal's decision to have all of the students participate in an extracurricular activity would be good because it can help students learn to organize their time, find people with similar interests to make friends, and it could physically, and mentally, strengthen the students.

Well, I got some answers for you! There are a couple of different reasons why you might ask for someones opinion. These reasons might be to see their point of view or to get more opinions.
Every person has an unique personality. With an unique personality comes a new perspective. A different perspective can be good because they could have ideas that you never even thought of. You can even work together with the other person, so that you both have new and original ideas.
Another reason why someone might want to ask people for advice is to get more opinions. Lets say that your having a birthday party. You love chocolate cake, so you bought one.

5153133CE3CA,"Dear Principal,
I think that all students should be required to perform community service. I think this for many reasons. Doing community service will be a great role model to younger ones. It will help influence them in the best ways yet. Participating in community service will also help students get into a great college in the future. Last but not least, helping the community is a great way to be involved. If you do not play a sport, or attend any after-school activities, community service is the way to go! Community service improves people's knowledge of their community and its people.
The thought of community service may not sound fun at all, but when you dig a little deeper, it is magnificent. First, what is the community? The community is everything and everyone around you. Even the people you do not associate with. Community service is volunteering to help out peers and others around you. Students should be required to participate in community service because it gives them a chance to learn how to help others out. This will help develop social and mental skills. The more they help out, the less there is to do around the community. Next thing you know, the park that used to be filthy and smelly is clean as a whistle! Four hands are always better than just two.
Helping out the community not only gives students a chance to learn about how to help out and socialize more, but also a chance for them to attend a remarkable college in the future. Colleges have many requirements; some may include involvement with the community, and others include school involvement in clubs. Having a record of community service will be perfect. With everyone pitching in to help out the community, everyone will become a better person.
Being a better person means being a role model for your peers and siblings around you. Helping out the community will give them the opportunity to see what it is like to help out. When they see that, they will become influenced and plan about participating in the future. Doing more for the community is always best. Whether it is picking up trash that people have littered in the local park, or it is cutting the grass at the public library. It is all apart of helping the community. Students should do this because it is a great experience. They will have new knowledge on ways to help out the community and ways to become a better person.
So why should they be required to do community service? Well, community service has many definitions, but it always leads up to one thing. Helping out the community. It is all apart of life. Being involved will get you to many levels. You'll become a better person and a respected volunteer. Do not only do it for respect, but also for honor and pride in yourself. You'll feel great. You will feel like a good Samaritan. You have lent a hand to your community and you deserve a great pat on the back. The local park is now cleaner than ever and your public library's grass is freshly cut and green like the crayon. Students becoming involved in the community will benefit everyone. It will cause a chain reaction to others in the community. People will say, ""Wow!"" ""What a great improvement!"" I'd like to join. They'll volunteer and so on so forth. All is well the ends well. Community service will lead to many levels of success.

80D5ECB994F3,"Dear TEACHER_NAME,
If you want a student's honest opinion, I say that you let the kids use their cell phones at any free time as long as they put it away during class. I'm sure that you know that many students use their phones during class, and a lot during lunch. So if you let them do it at any free time, they won't be occupied to do something with it i class. They will be focused in class because they've already done everything that they need to do on their phone, and no longer require its use. Also, they'll respect you more and think of you more as a cool principal who c they can respect and follow directions from. I know that being cool isn't what you're supposed to do in you're job, but the students will listen to you more. If you set up a stern yet fair policy saying that students can use their cell phones at any free time as longs as they don't have it out during class, they will listen. They will think that's it's a fair policy. Also you need to tell them that if they do have cell phones out in class, that they will be confiscated until the end of the week, no exceptions. They will then be feared into not using their phones in class, and will not take them out. So you see, this is a win-win situation. The students get to use their cell phones, which they love to do, and you get better students out of it because they will pay attention in class because they won't think of using their phones. As long as you and all the teachers stick to the plan and don't make any exceptions, the policy will work. It's like shooting fish in a barrel. Also, you could ask several students if they would obey the policy if you started it. If the ,majority say yes, then instate the policy. But do the survey before you start the policy. Also, you can hold the students accountable, because if they put their names on the survey, and they said yes, and then get in trouble, you could add on more consequences because they bribed you into getting something that they wanted.

0A1890ABABEB,"""Love for exploration"", ""keen to try new activities"" and ""always on the lookout for an adventure"" are mottoes that no longer describe the human race and now belong in cheap inspirational posters sold for a few dollars on amazon. Let's face it, our whole species does not deserve to take credit for the hard work and intellectual genius a few humans exhibited when making major world-changing discoveries, but it does. We consider ourselves ready for adventure, exploration, and discovery, when most of the youth of America spends time locked away, stuck in a rut, performing the same activities every day. However, even though I deny the fact that currently most of us engage in exploration, I affirm and stand by the belief we can change. There are multiple ways through which one can learn to crave for the unknown, and one of them is by implementing it into our school system. Therefore, I stand by my principal's decision of mandatory extracurricular activities, for I know the concept of exploration in itself, the access to experiences one can't normally get at home and the encouragement of social interaction with peers who share your interests, are key steps in the process of growth.
Nowadays, kids, teenagers and even adults do not explore activities as much as they used to. The excuses one might give for this are all some variation of ""Oh, I simply don't have the time anymore!"" to ""I am just too tired and don't want a bigger workload."" These claims, however, don't justify our situation, for most people do have free time even if it is to a short extent and this is especially true when one is referring to kids and teenagers. The true cause for this type of lifestyle is no one other than ourselves and ""our ferocious love of the 'known'. It is easy to stay stuck in cycles, but it is hard to dive into new hobbies on your own since the majority of people like 'easy life'. Mandatory extracurricular activities are the 'hard exploration of new hobbies' implemented into 'easy life' because most teens are used to going to school and not used to discovery. Some might argue the change to their school schedule at first because it disrupts their 'norm' but they will get used to it, and many will come to accept this as a new part of their life. The goal is to make discovery of the new the norm, and that can easily be achieved through this change.
Secondly, the 'new' we are striving to get can hardly be found at home. Clubs are specialized on a subject or type of art and often have unique equipment which enhances the learning of it greatly. It is a privilege to have the access to this equipment, and making the most out of it should be important. This also relates to the fact that many might not be inclined to try a new activity without having the guidance of a teacher or professional. With clubs the encouragement increases, and that is a key-part of wanting to try the new experience in the first place. As an example, consider art. There are multiple online courses an aspiring artist might try, but they could potentially be discouraged by it since it is not as an engaging of an experience. In an art-club however, a teacher is there to help you by providing materials, encouragement and also knowledge, making one more inclined to try out the new activity.
Finally, it encourages social interaction in an online and person-to-person aspect in a growing world where it is needed, and lacking. Through extracurricular activities, one might not only find more friends, but they will find friends whom they share interests with. There are two reasons as to why that is crucial for a growing teenager. The first being, 'it's nice' and the majority of people like friends, and the second being that it enables for mutual growth and also encouragement in the pursue of said interest. Sociology (social science) shows that a person who particularly enjoys an 'out of the norm' activity such as coding might be discouraged from pursuing it if peers they interact with do not pursue the activity themselves. An extracurricular activity helps you find people who perform the same activity as you, form connections with them, and prevents you from being discouraged. This can also apply to online environments. Many might argue, ""Wait, isn't our lack of person-to-person interaction coming from social media itself?"", and my answer is that yes, but no. People seek online interaction because it is easy to find others who share your interests and passions, but in result, they sometimes end up eliminating a chance for real life relationships. However, extracurricular activities on themselves help improve the problem, because not only will you have more time for real-life talking, but if you really enjoy the activity, you might seek people which talk about said interest and turn your online experience into something semi-educational.
Extracurricular activities have a huge, positive effect on us and are therefore, crucial . We need exploration to grow as a society and the earlier we learn to realize this, the better. Some schools such as Generic_School have already implemented this ""mandatory"" rule because of the great benefits it bring to students. It allows us to grow and explore new interests, encourages us to pursue said interests by providing us with teacher support and also need material, and they help us make connections by meeting others who are like us and have similar goals and objectives. However, it doesn't end there. It is in your power to continue to explore your current interests and discover new ones for extracurricular school activities don't last forever. So if one truly want to follow amazon's inspirational posters, you must remember that it is mostly your choice. Don't tell yourself ""I don't have time"" and dont be afraid of a bigger workload, the pursuit of an interest is rewarding, and enables opportunity. Who knows, maybe you can become the next genius whose intellectual property wants to be stolen by the whole human race.",,1017,Mandatory extracurricular activities,Independent,"Your principal has decided that all students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity.

117FFA9B4B12,"Dear Principal,
I have heard that you are thinking of changing the grade average policy from C average to B to participate in school activities and sports.
I absolutely love this idea but it could hurt our sport teams and our activities. It could hurt them because at least half of them have a C average which means they wouldn't be able to play and it could effect our school team. Our school events for sports are a big thing I mean a lot of people like to come and watch but if we were not that good because some of our kids were kicked off that would be sort of lame. For example, if our best player and also our biggest player did not have the grades to play he would be kicked off and we would not be that good.
I would like if it stayed as a C average to be on the sports teams because out teams would stay the same and be good. If you did bad on one test and it dropped your grade to a C that means you could not play and that's not fair. I don't think that's fair because everyone does bad on at least one quiz or test. I would be really bummed if I couldn't play a game or two because i did bad on one single test.
If they did change the policy I don't think it would be helpful because our sports would start to go down.
I think that everyone expects to much out of us kids, were just kids. When your a kid I thought you were supposed to have fun, mess around, and do stupid things? All I have to say is please keep it simple at a C average and it will keep everyone happy!

0802AEA16E9F,"Dear Principal,
It has come to my attention that you are considering a policy change in the schools athletics program. Under this new policy, students with a below B average would not be allowed to participate in athletics. Personally I agree with this idea. I believe it would be beneficial to the students and the school if this policy were enacted.
First, I think it would help the students now, and later on in life, if they were required to maintain B's in their studies in order to remain on a school team. It would encourage them to raise, or sustain their grades, further helping them succeed in life. Also, many colleges do not accept students under a B average. In order to further their career as a student-athlete, they will need to maintain their grades. This responsibility primarily falls on us.
For many student-athletes, it is highly unlikely that a career of professional sports awaits them. In order to succeed in the current, and extremely competitive job-market, they need to graduate from a university, or maintain decent grades throughout high school. Students that fall behind in their studies due to the athletics program may not be able to find a job after high school.
This is why I believe our school's policy should be changed. To benefit our students now, in college, and eventually in the job market. I believe we should enact this policy to preserve our student's, their grades, and their success in life. I believe we should hold academics above athletics.",,251,Grades for extracurricular activities,Independent,"Your principal is considering changing school policy so that students may not participate in sports or other activities unless they have at least a grade B average.

06FC98543F31,"The Face, confusing and causing many arguements with others asking if it is a form of alien life, or just a natural landform. Many conspiracy theorists believe it to be an image of civilization of Mars. NASA, on the other hand believes it to be a natural landform. The Face is most likely a natural landform because of the formation, similarities with other landforms, and common sense.
The Face 's formation helps prove that it is a natural landform. A few days after the new photo of the face, NASA unveiled the photo with a caption reading,"" a huge rock formation. . . which resembles a human head. . . formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth."" This interpretation helped show that the Face was possibly a natural landform.
The similarities with other landforms also helps prove that it is a natural landform. Jim Garvin, cheif scientist for NASA's Mars Exploration Program stated,""It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho. That's a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars. Garvin is saying that it is very similar to another natural landfrom which would support the evidence that the Face on Mars is a natural landform.
The last distinct things that proves the Face on Mars is a natural landform is common sense. Many conspiracy theorists state that it is a sign of new life, but is that really what it is. In April 5, 1998, Michael Malin and his Mars Orbiter Camera team snapped a picture ten times sharper than the original Viking photos. Thousands of conspiracy theorists, and web surfers were eagerly waiting when the image first appeared on a JPL web site, revealing a natural landform. This proves that common sense can play a keen role in porving that the Face is a natural landform.

The Face is one of the hardest problems to debunk, whether you are a scientist, or an average person just wanting to figure out the problem.

DABEF78A3A24,"The author presents a strong argument suggesting a worthy pursuit to study Venus depsite dangerous endeavors, however, his statments regauarding un-reliability on current technology, the necessary actions to conduct research, and numerous failed attempts to reach Venus greatly outweigh the good outcomes of this mission. Venus is considered the planet that is most similar to Earth. The passage explained that scientist speculate if there was once life on Venus considering it incredible geographical and size similarities to earth. Although further research could test their theories, Venus has very extreme weather conditions harmul to man and other objects. A closer look and gathering of evidence is expected to make this mission a success. However, modern day technology is barely able to keep up efficiently by just the use of humans. These issues are far too risky to consider pursuing.
Venus has features such as mountains, craters, and even valleys that are also seen on Earth. According to the article, its atmosphere is 97% carbon dioxide with temperatures averging 800 degrees Fahrenheit. Atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than Earth with can crush nearly anything that tries to reach its surface and even liquefy metals. The second paragraph discussed how spacecrafts in the past barely lasted a few hours and since there hasn't been a spacecraft sent there in more than three decades. This evidence shows that despite the success of reaching Venus, we are not even close to even slowly progressing and fixing smaller issues with spacecrafts traveling there and back to Earth. By not providing evidence of some sort of pregression or steps closer to considering sending humans to Venus, the author weakens his arguments over the better outcomes of conducting research.
Conducting research requires numerous forms of evidence, samples, test, etc. In paragraph 5, the author makes suggestions of creating a spacecraft to sustain temperatures of at least 170 degrees Fahrenheit and levitating thirty-plus miles over the surface to observe the planet. Although this may be the most safest and efficient approach, he even stated that it would require getting ""up close and personal"" to collect samples. The whole idea is to reach Venus and collect data to compare to Earth and Venus' previous history. Without being able to collect samples, the author weakens his argument to study Venus despite the dangers it presents.
Lastly, modern day technology is known for its speed and cinvenience to access information. In paragraph 7, the author discussed how electronics we simplified to last at least three weeks in simulating conditions to Venus. He explained, ""modern computers...tend to be more delicate when it comes to extreme physicakl conditions."" He supported this claim by informing readers that older technology, mechanical computers, have been re-evaluated and seem to have better calculations but involve levers and such. This weakens his argument because it would mean that this mission wouldn'tt be helpful if the right technology can't be utilized to help calculate and evalutate information.
All in all, the author makes very good claims as to why NASA should continue to pursue further research on Venus. It would help determine if there was previous life, if it once operated as successful as earth, and if Earth could potentially be headed in the same direction. However, the extreme weather conditions, actions necessary for research, and un-cooperative technology make this pursuit seem far less worth it considering how danger it is for humans and even the spacecrafts sent to examine the planet.

52779E469111,"Why do people ask multiple people for their opinion? Shouldn't they just trust one opinion? People sometimes ask for multiple opinions to help them with a tough decision. It can be difficult to make choices for yourself sometimes. You can give someone advice, but they would ask other people what they thought too. Seeking multiple opinions can be beneficial to a person making a decision because it gives them more options, multiple points of view, and helps them make the best decision.
The more options the better when it comes to making choices. When people ask for advice from multiple people, they get more options of what they could do. Having more options is better for the person trying to make to choice. For example, if Generic_Name asks me for my advice on which running event she should do. I might say the two-hundred meter, but Generic_Name might say the one-hundred meter. After we both give her our opinion she has to choose. It it important to get more options before making choices. The more options people have the better choice they can make for them self.
When people have a decision they need to hear other peoples advice. If the person making the choice doesn't ask other people for advice they will follow what they think is right, even if it is wrong. The person making the choice would think it is right because that is their side of it, but if they ask other people they will see more than their side, and might not follow their own advice because they realized it was wrong. The person only realized they were wrong when they asked the other person for advice. Also when a person ask other people for advice they see what other people would think of them depending on the choice they make. When people see what other people would think of them sometimes it influence the decision that they make. When they ask for advice it shows them more points of view.
When people ask multiple people for advice they get more options and more points of view, but it also helps them make the best choice possible. When people ask for advice it shows them that their first choice might not have been the best. it also helps them get more options, so that they can make the wisest choice of what they should do. It can be difficult for a person the choose what they think is best for them, but the advice that is given to them really helps them make the best choice. People should always ask for multiple opinions before making a choice because it is very beneficial to them as they make the choice. Asking for multiple opinions will help the person make the best choice.
In conclusion, it is important for people to ask for advice before making a decision. Asking for multiple opinions is helpful for many reasons. The advice they are given will give them more options of what to do, show them more points of view, and it will help them make the choice that will benefit them the most. When someone asks you for advice try to give them advice that will benefit them the very most. It is important for them to get good advice to make the best possible decision.

FFF964B8ACC0,"Dear Principal,
I understand that you are debating between two policies about cell phones. One of which would make the students very happy. The other would be popular with teachers and staff. Each policy would be popular with one group, and unpopular with the other. Both policies have their pro's and con's.
Policy one would allow students to have their cell phones out between classes and during any free time they have. This would be very popular among students. They like to be able to text or call anyone and talk to them. This would make the school day more enjoyable for the pupils. On the other hand this could lead to a higher percentage of cheating. students could text their friend the answers to a test in a class the student just had. This would upset teachers because they have to focus more on cheating.
Policy two would not allow students to have their cell phones at school. This would focus students more on school work. there would be less distractions. This would also not raise the percentage of cheating. However pupils would not like this policy. They want the freedom to text or call their friends. This would make the school day less enjoyable for them.
Weighing the pro's and con's of each i decide to pick the second policy. Students don't need to text their friends in school. What kids need is a good education. They cant do that if they are texting their friend about what they are doing after school. It may not be popular with the students, but it is the smartest decision. What ever they need to say, they can wait until they seem them or are out of school. That is what I think, at least.

413AE4A36667,"Ever thought of how clubs could benefit people in any sort of way possible? Like how does it help people rather than waste their time? Well, joining clubs are actually extremely helpful to students. They should participate in extracurricular activities because it teaches them life skills, helps them manage their time, and it helps with their stress.
Joining an club can teach these students many different life skills, such as teamwork. Teamwork is not something everyone learns throughout their lives. Some people are taught by their parents, but most of the time, teamwork is taught to people who experience it. Extracurricular activities often teach people how to succeed by working together. They teach it by forcing the students, in a good way, to work together. This is important because teamwork is a life lesson people must learn to excel in life. What I mean by that is, humans wouldnt even been alive if there wasnt someone there to help them. People work together in ways to create amazing inventions because of it. For example, if cavemen hadn't worked together to hunt for food, then we would've not even be here on this Earth. Teamwork was in the human nature long before any of us were alive, and it has proven to have advance the human race in all ways possible.
Participating in extracurricular actives require a lot of time management and responsibility. This is a great for students because many dont learn how to manage their time correctly. Managing time is probably the hardest skill to learn. It requires planning, and actually doing what was planned, and most of us would forget that we even had something up in our calender if not for time management. Having an activity can help get us to realize to keep track of time. How? By making people panic when they forget about the club that they signed up for. Time management also teaches the students responsibility. It teaches students responsibility by having them keep track of what they are doing next, and how much time to take on it. By participating in a club, it can help students become more responsible.
Aside from responsibility, reducing stress is also another one of the major point to join a club.
Stress takes a major part in a students life,but it also acts as a major issue for a lot of students' health. Many would get rid of stress by surfing the internet or sleeping. But isn't that just a major waste of time? Instead, they could join clubs that actually benefits then, rather than waste their lives. Joining a club can majorly benefit a students health by taking off all that stress.
Activities such as sports or student council can help take their mind off of things, and just let them focus and have fun. It is proven that clubs help students to manage their stress through activities and games.
Reducing stress could also help with the students' concentration on other things. Without stressful thoughts, students can concentrate better on school work after they finished their club's.
In the end, joining a club or an activity is very beneficial to students. Extracurricular activities could teach students' teamwork by working together with other people. It can also help them by helping them manage their time and teach them responsibility. Joining an activity can help deal with a lot of stress, and help the students' concentrate better on school work.

DB9DFF9D847C,"Every school contains extracurricular activities, from sports to clubs to the student council. These after school activities were created to entertain those students who wanted to learn or have fun with others while in a safe and comfortable environment. Although most schools don't force participation, it would be extremely beneficial if they did as extracurricular activities teach how to cooperate with others, allow students to explore things out of their comfort zone and meet new people and shows the crucial importance of time management.
Learning teamwork and cooperation with your peers is an important thing to learn all throughout middle and high school. Being on a sports team or in a competitive club can show students how to work with each other and communicate accordingly. For instance, when on a sports team like volleyball, teamwork is essential. Each member plays an important role but that role cannot be correctly executed unless the other members are assisting. The hitter depends on the setter to give a sturdy and high set in order to spike the ball and score a point, and the setter relies on the defensive line to give a high and straight pass in order to provide a good set. Communication and cooperation with one another is vital and can overall teach the players many lessons and prepare them for the future.
Furthermore, extracurricular activities can also allow students to get out of their comfort zone to learn new things and meet new people. Schools contain numerous different clubs, one for each different crowd a student might fall into. There might be a club for music, books, movies, the environment, writing, or science and math, etc. Making sure students must participate in one of these clubs or activities can give them the push they need to realize a hobby they might not have known they had or meet a new friend they would have never talked to outside of the club. When I was new to my school, I didn't know anyone to well but once I joined cooking club, I learned many new things while participating and met brand new students too.
Although some might argue that they might not have time for this after school activity because of homework or chores, this decision made by the school can give students the chance to work on their time management. Time management is one skill that is very hard to achieve but is used almost all throughout your life. Managing school work, with the extracurricular activity, and whatever else they might have at home can allow students to work on this skill and apply it to real life.
The decision stating that all students must participate in extracurricular activities can overall help them when it comes to their future. Giving these students the opportunity to socialize with peers and enjoy themselves can benefit them in too many ways to count, educating them and further preparing them for what's to come after high school and even after college as well.

B9E4540497AA,"Do you think students should have the option of taking classes at home online of by conferencing video ?
In many cases there are some peoeple who believe that this is a great idea. I agree with this becaus it lessen the number of conflicts at some schools, there would be less worries about students missing school, and teachers would not have to worry about students skipping their classes
First of all, i agree with this because it would lessen the numebr of conflicts at some schools. for example, in most schools there are students who think that bullying others is the best way to feel good about themselves and to show other students that they are not jus less of a person as the student they are bullying. So if school were to make online school an option it would stop manny kids from getting bullied. Next, many students have cell phones and most of the time they are on social media and this is one the biggest things that cause problems and most students tend to bring them to school. In other words, when students have arguments of the cell phone or social media they carrryon to schools and due this there are many fights. Although, students will still have conflicts on social media if they were to have online classes, and video conferencing there would be less fighting at schools and more learning.
Secondly, there would be less worries about students missing school. For example, in many cases there are a lot of students who only transportation back and forth to school is the bus and sometimes students either miss the bus or oversleep and they will not have a ride to school. but if they were to school on line they would not have to worry about getting on the bus. Next, some students just do not come to school at all because they jus do no like their schoolenviroment. In most cases like this students parent are most likely going to have to be put in the middle of this because it their child and they could possibly get into a lot of trouble. In other words, if students are skipping school becasue of the enviroment maybe if they were giving the option to do school at home it would be better because the very comfortable and maybe it would be more easier to learn.
Lastly, their are many young ladies who have babies and its hard for them to go to school everyday. For example, in many situation like this young ladies tend to miss a lot of school. in other words, when girls have babies they have to been out fo school for six weeks so they can fully develope due this they will way behind because of the thing they missed but if they were giving the option to do online school it would be easier for them because they would be all caught and not left behind in many things.

39DCB6EF34D9,"I don't care what google does for driverless cars, I think they may be good for a small town such as Berne, but there are a lot of cons to this whole issue. I think it would be fun to have cars we don't have to drive ourselfs but an issue with that is what if we do get into an accidnet in a bigger city. I'm nuetral on this topic because they aren't truly driverless ars if they still need a driver.
I don't particularly care if we get driverless cars or not. Kids have been waiting to get their license for generations, if we get driverless cars does that mean the age of legal driving decreases? Would children be able to drive, if so that's not too fair. Those kids would miss out on learning these skills to drive that everyone else had to learn.
I don't know if driverless cars is a bad thing or a good thing, but I'd rather stick to my littly chevy car. I say this becasue, I have to stay awake for either car. If i were to have a car that drove itself, I'd sleep in the back of my car until i had reached my desination. But if I'm needed to navigate through rough areas then I'd rather drive the whole way to my desination. I understand that these cars would give you a form of entertainment to keep you occupied while in the vehicle, but I'd fall asleep and wouldn't wake up when the car needed me.
It is handy though, a car like this, but one would have to wonder the cost of a car like that. Probably something none of us could afford to buy. But it would be nice to not have to worry about other cars, although when you come to a stop, although it has sensros on the car, does it sense the other driverless car? What if that car in the other line isnt't driverless and the driver decided to wave you along and let you go first, what would the car do? Does it truly function probably at an intersection?
I dont particularly care about this kind of car, I learned how to drive and I'd rather just do that. Although thus driverless car sounds safer, I'm sure it would make less mistakes than I do, I don't quite trust it. Reason being is the issue with other drivers at an intersection, or the age of legal driving, then the not paying attention part of sitting in that car.

01604A97F0C3,"Every person needs some form of transportation.
For most people that form of transportation is a car.
Cars are used not only as transportation but are also used for recreation and competiton.
Self-driving cars may take away from the recreation and competition parts and make the hobbies of many people become non-existant.
One could argue that roads would be safer with cars capable of driving themselves, but the reality is a computer is no replacement for a human brain.
A computer with all the little circuts and fuzes it has is not able to make a decision that solves problems beyond the one it is currently faced with.
Therefore car accidents will stil loccur and when an accident does occur who is to be held accountable?
Who wil pay the cost o fthe damage? ""Who is at fault- the driver or the manufacturer?""(paragragh 9)
One cannot simply say that the the dumbest car is the one to blame.
Nor can he or she say that the drivers are at fault if they had no control over their car.
Driving can also be used as an escape.
Some people race their cars as a hobby and others just enjoy a nice Sunday cruise around town.
Either way they are not driving so they will not find the refuge from day-to-day life they seek.
What would be the fun of going to a track and sitting in a car you love and then have it drive itself around the track.
Pushing a car ro its max and diving into corners and accelerating out of them is what makes driving fun.
Without the roar of an engine reving at eight thousand RPM and the squeal of tires barely golding on to asphalt what would racing a car be?
A major issue with autonomous cars would be that of cost.
As the founder of the Google Car Project said ""Radar was a device at the top of a hill that costs two hundred million dollars.
It wasn't something you could buy at Radio Shack.""
The U.S. cannot afford a road system that will put us deeper into the sixteen trillion dollar hole we are in.
The price of cars would also rise making them for only people who could afford them.
A car with a higher price tag means a smaller market will be able to purchase them and less money is to be made.
Less money made means less money spent by the employees and that will make the economy worse.
Creating cars that drive themselves will take away from the hobbies of many people.

I was a small town boy and had not got to see a lot of the big world that we live in.

I also got to ride in a gondola in Venice, Italy.

When the draft board found out I was being a Seagoing Cowboy, they told me to do that as my service.

BE479C796811,"THE SEA IS CALLING ME AND YOU
To Whom It May Concern,
Have you ever met someone who is or was a seagoing cowboy? Well, if your awnser is no then it's all about to change. Hi my name is Luke, and I am a seagoing cowboy. I really want to encorage other's to become seagoing cowboys because we need more people to complete the jobs. So come on out and serve your country with the seagoing cowboys!
First of all, I have multiple reasons why should join us. Like its a lot of fun. Ok, so you didn't hear this from me but some times after we drop the cattle off we like to go into the empty stalls and play games like tennis and volley ball. Due to that this job really dosen't feel like a job at all. If you like to have fun and take care of animals then a seagoing cowboy is the right job for you. Also, this is a once in a lifetime chance. When I was offered this deal I jumped on it immediantly because I knew that if I didn't that I would never get another chance like this again. Plus, you probally wont have to join the military. For me this counted as my service.
Futhermore, we do many things in this program such as take care of animals. I get to go down everyday to feed them and I always am able to pet and play with them. As I said before we also play many games to keep us entertained because we have alot of time on our hands. So everyday is like another mini party. As you probally know we have to drive a huge boat filled with animals across the ocean. So we alternate drivers. We always want to make sure that everyone gets a chance to have fun and sleep. But, even though were making amazing memoriess all of us need to do are fair share of the work .
Finally, I have many memories of my own to share. Starting with I made a record by heading out on a cattle trip 9 times! Maybe you could also set a record? I know that I have made it pretty clear that I have had fun. But I have also gotten my share of bumps and bruises over the years. Beside that is no match to the pain I felt before this job. Here I feel safe and in my old life I didn't. I was working 2 part time jobs. One at a grocery store and one at a bank. Plus I didnt get very good py and I wasn't happy. But now I am. Everyday is amazing thanks to my job that is so great that it dosen't even feel like one.
So in conclusion I love my job! I think that you should try it out. If it dosen't sound appealing to you then just give it a spin. I really do belive that you will like it as much as I did. Maybe you can set a new world recored! Or maybe just a pearsonal one. But which ever record you want to set or what job you pick, just pick the one that makes you happy. Dont go out and do somthing boring like I did at first. Just find what you love and do it. You only live one life one time. So why not live it to the fullest?

Dear Principal,
I believe that policy two is better than policy one. You should consider allowing students to use their cell phones during lunch periods and other free times.

Also, because the students aren't learning during that time and there's no reason why we shouldn't be able to use them. I think that we should allow them during lunch time also because if a student forgot something for class they can text instead of calling. Also, if they need to give there parent's a reminder of something or they changed their plans for after school time. I believe that they should use them and they would be turned off during class time.

748AF6AED4DB,"I believe that students should complete summer assignments even when they are not in school, provided that the assignment is provided by the teacher. This is due to the fact that many students would try to create easy assignments to do that require little effort, the assignment would not be relevant to what the teacher had in mind, and that it would be incredibly difficult for the teacher to gauge how much the student was actually learning about the topic chosen.
When students are given the liberty of choosing their own projects, many students will try to create very easy projects that would not challenge them. Summer projects are supposed to be mentally challenging for the student, which would be provided if the teacher designs the assignment. If a student creates the assignment on their own, it would be of a far lower quality of project unless the student was very academically minded, and cares to challenge themselves. Many students see the summer as a time to relax, and not do any work, which while that is a valid point, as students need a break after 9 months of school, as they believe they deserve it, especially after exams are over. The point of summer assignments though is to help a student remain prepared during the summer, as they might forget everything that they need after 3 months off.
Another reason that students should not create their own assignment is that it most likely will not be relevant to what the teacher is expecting. When students are given the freedom to design their own prompts, many would choose topics that they are interested in, such as sports or certain activities, such as going on a walk. Those prompts have a tendency to turn into a 'what I did over the summer' project, which is very likely not what the teacher wants from a student's work. Sometimes a teacher may want that style of project, but more often than not it is more academically minded than that style.
A third reason for a teacher to create summer assignments is that they are most probably being graded, and if a teacher gives the students free reign to invent their own assignments, it will be almost impossible to grade. The style of project would vary greatly, and it would take a teacher far longer to grade than if all of the students were given similar assignments, such as reading a book, and writing an analytical essay on it. What the teacher could do if the students desired a little bit of choice would be to give them several prompts to choose from, and allow the students to then do an assignment based on that. I myself have done summer assignments in that style, and they cause far less problems than from what I've heard from several friends who've had assignments that they get to decide.
Teachers should design assignments to be done over the summer instead of students, because if a teacher is giving the students assignments over the summer, they expect to not have a bunch of random prompts thrown at them, instead they wish to make it very easy to grade, as well as giving the students a challenging yet doable experience over the summer, while at the same time making it relevant to the class that the project is being assigned for.",,556,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

B6F03D0CEABE,"Students know their capabilities. During the summer some schools decide to make teacher give students summer projects, to help keep their mental capabilities up. While students may not like this whole process there has been discussion on whether or not they should be student or teacher designed.
Teacher may want to have them design them because they think students would make it extremely easy which is fair. Though I still believe that students should be the ones to design it. Some of the reasons being that they were already given tons by teachers, they need to be independent and also to make sure teachers don't worry they can make guidelines.
People have to know when to take a break. Students throughout the school year have been taught many things by teachers which we are very grateful for. Though with it we have been given hundreds of assignments and projects all made by different teachers. So instead of stressing during the long break they can finish the project at their own pace and even have fun with what they designed.
Making students do yet another teacher made project when it's supposed to be their break will not help the students out, it will mainly make them upset and think it's unfair. So to balance that out having them design their own project would make it more entertaining for them and less stressful so to speak.
Let them grow up. After each year of school is over they go onto the next, and during the summer they should be challenged with a self designed project to help them be more independent. With this they are able to get themselves mentally ready for the upcoming school year. Each year gets harder and being tasked with this will give them the experience of handling things alone and figuring out exactly how to manage it. Meaning that they will learn helpful skills about time management, responsibility, and independence. These also help them outside of school for certain situations like social events or job interviews when they need to be by themselves and they will know from this how to handle it accordingly.
Teachers are more experienced. With people that think that teachers are the best option for designing the project I do understand why. Students are young and may just want to take the easy route by not putting much effort into it. While teachers have experience making projects and understand just how hard each component will make it. So using a middle ground will help teachers let their kids be independent. By letting the teachers give students a guideline on what exactly the project should or should not have, will let them feel secure about them finishing it. The guideline would explain the things needed for it and how it should be graded, and letting students know how it will be graded will help immensely when design it.
It will also help the students to figure out ideas for their design instead of them just being completely out in the open. So making a guild line will make both the teacher and students feel more secure and confident in the project being designed and completed.
Schools have to understand students better. With summer based projects being designed by the students they are able to have some fun doing it while also learning skills that are needed for both in school and out. Doing so helps them learn how to be independent and makes it so teachers will let them as well. So I do think that summer projects should be made by the students, because it helps them to learn independence, know when to take a break, and then let teachers know that they can do it but a little help at the start doesn't hurt.

0B8629C697D5,"Anybody should be able to vote like teenagers,and aldults because the Electoral College is a process,they consists of the selection of the electors,and at the most basic level, the electoral college is unfair to voters.
First,
The Electoral College consists of 538 electors. A majority of 270 electors votes is required to elect the President. Your state's entitled allotmentof electors equals the numbers of members in it's Congressional delegation:one for each member in the House of Representatives plus two for you Senators.
Second,
The Electoral College avoids the problems of elections in which no candidate recieves a majority of the votes cast. For example, Nixon in 1968 and Clinton in 1992 both had only a 43 percent plurality of votes,while winning a majority in the Electoral College.
Third ,
It can be argued that the Electoral College method of selecting the president may turn off potential voters for a candidate who has no hope of carrying their state-Democrats in Texas,for example, or Repuublicans in Claiforina. Knowing their vote will have no effect, they have less incentive to pay attention to the campaign than they would have if the president were picked by popular vote.

DB3351F815E2,"New software has been created to determine the facial expressions of students. It uses technology to give data as to what emotions someone is feeling such as happiness, sadness, and boredom. These technologies are possibly going to be used in classrooms to help students learn better based on their emotions towards the lesson that they are learning. However, the use of software to determine the emotional expressions of students in the classroom is not valuable to the students learning experience.
To start, in order for this new technology to work, students woukld have to constantly be watched by cameras that read their expressions. This is said in the text when it says, ""Using imagery, the new emotion-recognition software tracks these facial movements,"" (D'Alto 4). One can see from this that the students would always have to be watched and their facial movements would all be recorded. This could be an issue of privacy for some students if they do not want to constantly be recorded. It also makes it easy for outside threats to hack this system and watch students or get personal information from the videos. Emotion-recognition software can also be expensive for schools, especially since it doesnt work on normal PC computers. The text states, "" Your home PC can't handle the complex algorithms used to decode Mona Lisa's smile,"" (D'Alto 7). This shows that normal computers that students would typically use cannot support this technology, making the school buy the technology that can support it. This would be a costly job and if the school cannot pay for it then the students would have to and some families may not be able to afford it. Lastly, students facial expressions may not directly correlate with the emotion they are feeling towards the lesson that they are learning. This can be seen in the text when it says, "" A classroom computer could recognize when a stuent is becoming confused or bored,"" Dr Huang predicts. ""Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor,"""" (D'Alto 6). This exemplifies that the schools want to use this technology to help students learn more effectively by using technology thats like a teacher. For some students this may cause trouble if they make facial expressions, but it's not about the lesson. Such as if a student is told something by another student and the student looks confused, the computer might see that and think they dont understand the lesson. Then it would modify the lesson for the student even if the student understood it just fine. A teacher would be much better at understanding the students emotions in a certain situation than technology.
Students need to be able to learn on their own and to communicate with teachers on how well they´re understanding what they´re learning. By using facial recognition technology, its taking away their communication skills. There are many flaws to the facial-expression technology that make it a bad candidate to use in schools. It´s certain that there are plenty of good uses for facial expression technology, however using it in schools is not one of them.

2B2BA9FC021C,"Dear Principal,
I think that you should not require all students to perform community service. I think this for many reasons. One of the reasons that i think that all students should not perform community service is because some people might not have time to do community service. For example if a student is interested in their sports career and they have to do community service they probably won't have time for their sports career. Another reason is that people might not be in the condition to do community service. For example a student might be disable in any way and they might not be able to do things that community service requires. Also one of the most common reasons is that they might have other things to do. For example they might have to do chores.
I have many more reasons why you should not require all students to do community service if i was to tell you all of them i might be here all night but one thing i have in mind for you to do is give extra credit to the people who do community service because they actually care about the community.

489F5F100D9C,"How scared would you be if you looked to your right and you saw no one at the steering wheel of the car next to you? Well many car companies are working on driverless cars for the public. This technology although imperfect at the moment has been around for years. It stated in a article that, ""Google has had cars that could drive independently under specific conditions since 2009."" However, driverless cars are dangerous and should be banned because they are not completely driverless, legal issues if there was a car crash, and the technology is still too insufficent to be trusted.
First, the ""driverless"" cars are not completely driverless. For example in an article it stated, ""They can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves, but all are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills, such as navigating through work zones and around accidents."" With this information we can see that ""driverless"" cars are still not completely driverless. This can make it dangerous if the driver is not paying attention, when attention is needed. This could be fatal if the driver failed to get to the steering wheel in time.
Secondly, the legal issues that would be created by this new form of car would be catastrofical numbers of laww suits. The question of who would be responsible is a difficult one. In the text it stated, ""...if the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault-the driver or the manufacturer?"" This question does raise a lot of legal issues. Many states in fact have already banned this car. It stated in the text, "" As a result, in most states it is illegal even to test computer driven cars, California, Nevada, Florida, and the District of Coloumbia have led the country in allowing limited use of semi-autononomous cars..."" As you see many states have banned these self driving machines, obiously for good resons, because of all the law suits, legal issues, and because they are dangerous.
Finally, The technology is still too insufficent to be trusted with the lives of innocent people. When the technology is still not fully tested, and can't full keep passengers safe then they shouldnt be trusted. In the text it stated, ""The car can handle driving functions at speeds up to 25 mph, but special touch sensors make sure the driver keeps hold of the wheel."" This shows how insufficent the technology is today. If the technology can't drive the car by its self, then it shouldn't be trusted, because drivers are distracted as it is. So these self driving cars would almost never need human assistance, and the moment they did drivers would be so distracted they would not be able to react in time.
In conclusion, these dangerous driverless cars should be banned because they are not completely driverless, legal issues if there was a crash, and the technology is still to insufficent to be trusted. Maybe in the future with more advances in technology these cars could be trusted. The legal issues would cease if the cars were certified they were safe.

8C3943289925,"Dear Principal:
I think you are correct in saying that people aren't allowed to play sports without a B average.
Even though many students have a C average many students also have a B average or even higher.
If kids are barely passing without playing a sport how are they supposed to pass if they do play a sport. When people are getting a C average and playing more then the people getting an A as an average it isn't fair for the people working their hardest to get the A average. I think you should raise the mandatory grades to a B average.
The first reason is because if the people are barely passing when they aren't playing a sport how will they pass when they are playing a sport.
For example: since basketball practice takes over two hours after school how are the players supposed to do their homework without staying up till midnight, and if the kids stay up till midnight they won't be rested and won't do as good in school.
Another example is the day of a tennis match the players might have to be there for more than two hours as well.
The second reason is that even though a bunch of kids have C averages about the same number of kids have a B average or higher. Even though a C average has the most kids if you add the number of B average and the number of A average kids together you get about the same number of people.
The third reason is that it isn't fair to an person that worked their hardest to get a B average or higher to sit the bench to a person that slacked off and barely got a C average.
If you look at the starting five for the boys varsity basketball team their grade point average is lower than the bench's grade point average which isn't fair to the players on the bench.
For these reasons I believe you should raise the average to play sports to a B average. Most importantly if the kids are barely passing without playing a sport how will they pass playing a sport.
The second reason is that the number of students getting a B average or higher is about the same as the number of kids with a C average, and lastly it isn't fair to the kids that did their best to get a B average to sit the bench while people that slacked and got a C average play.

Disadvantages about the technology is when and where will this be the best time to use this technology in the outside world? Would this technology work best in public? Probably not in my opinion, because why would people used this out in public? True it may help when people are in danger, but not using the technology proper, yeah, that's just a waste of money.
Another thing to mention is that this technology would only work in computers for right now. Students can detect other student's emotion with this technology. This would be a good use in group projects, but other than that it's basically useless. Not trying to be rude or anything, it's just that who has the time to use this technology? People are allow to use it but they'll probably not use it properly.
In conclusion, I think that the new techology(Facial Action Coding System), is pretty useless. Who has the time to use this? When or where can this be used?

If it was not for the electoral college Gore would have won the election. If this country really is a government by the people and for the people then the government would get rid of the electoral college.

3214BA8B26E6,"Dear Mr. Senator,
After reviewing information about the Electoral College, I believe that the Electoral College should not be used in deciding or electing the president of the United States.
""Under the Electoral College system, voters vote not for President, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the President."" The sitation before states that it is not the President the voters are voting for, it is actually the electors that the people are voting for, who in turn will vote for the President. This situation does not allow for the people to directly vote for who they believe will be the best President. It is really in the hands of the electors who will become President.
Secondly, after realizing that the number of electoral votes decides if you beome President or not, the Presidential candidates are going to want to focus on obtaining the most votes as possible. After determining which states they ""have in the bag"", the candidates are going to put their campaigning efforts toward the ""toss-up"" or ""swing states"". Here they will have to compete in a tight race between the other party to sway the voters of the state to vote their way. This method of campaigning in the swing states doesn't allow for much campaining in the big, numerous votes states. An example of this would be that during the 2000 campaign, almost 20 states did not see the candidates at all as well as campaign ads. With the Electoral College system in place, Presidential candidates are focusing more on obatianing the ""swing state"" votes and not so much on supporting and visiting the states and people they know they have.
Finally, the system of electing electors who then vote for the President can be considered unpredictable. This being because the electors could at any time defy the will of the people. These shady electors, also known as ""faithless electors"", can deny to vote for their party's candidate and instead cast the vote for whomever they desire. This shows that it is not the people's choice, instead the choice of the elector. Also, the state legislatures are responsible for choosing the electors. This could cause an issue where the state legislatures are choosing electors who will vote for their party. Let's take it back to the 1960's where an example of this corruption almost took place. Segrigationists, or people who favored racial seperation, who were state legislatures in the state of Louisiana nearly suceeded in replacing the Democratic electors with new electors who would not vote for John F. Kennedy. This would've caused the popular vote to go to Kennedy's opponent. For the many reasons listed above, the Electoral College could be considered unpredictable and in some cases... shady.
Overall Mr. Senator, I believe that the Electoral College should not be used to determine who becomes the President of the United States instead they should use popular vote. This being because the people are not directly voting, the candidates are just focusing on getting the votes and not on the people. And lastly because it can be considered unpredictable with the ""faithless electors"" and bais state legislatures. In the words of Bob Dole, ""Abolish the electoral college!""

260D9A25B1C9,"Dear Principle,
As you may already know, community service is in many different forms of work, and many different people perform them. Some ways include, picking up trash, helping the elderly, and maybe even planting flowers around town. A lot of people love to help the environment and help keep the world beautiful. Many do it for punishment, weather you're a prisoner or it's court orders. Community service is just a way to help out in a lot of different ways. And i believe that you should not make us as students perform this not willingly.
First of all community service is where you do something nice basically, and if you have a bunch of kids that do not want to be there, the job either won't get done or won't be what you expected it to be. A lot of time and effort can go into doing something such as simple as planting flowers, but you have to have that drive to do it, that want. You won't be able to see the flowers beauty if a kid doesn't want to be there and wants nothing to do with the project.
Another reason is that most of the time, community service is a punishment. Prisoners pick up litter all the time, and by kids doing this against their will they'll think maybe they did something wrong or think as themselves as a prisoner because they have to do this. No kid wants to do something community service related if they could be playing video games. Yes, maybe a little service won't hurt, but i still don't completely agree with the idea.
Lastly, kids should just enjoy the time they have as children while they can, not picking up trash or reading to the elderly. Part of being a kid is having fun and doing what you love to do, and i know that most kids do not love doing something like service. Sometimes, kids do make mistakes and are ordered to perform service instead of going to prison or jail, but no harm no foul. No misdoing, no punishment. That's my out look.
Community service is a great way to better yourself, but i do not agree with you making us as students do this. You teach us to be creative, how can we be ""creative"" if you are making us miss going to the movies or keeping us from playing guitar?

Seeking multiple opinions can help someone make a better choice because that person will learn from their mistakes, someone else's advice could be beneficial in the future, and the advice you receive you can use to help others.
When you seek advice from others, you can sometimes learn from your mistakes. When you fail at something, just ask a companion or family member for some help.
When they tell you what you can do, just use that advice and you will never mess up again. But, if their advice doesn't work just don't use it. At the point where their advice doesn't work, just ask someone else for their opinion.
If someone gives you advice, you should use it for the future. Another person's opinion on something could be beneficial later on in life. If your friend gives you really helpful advice, use should use it the next time you have that problem. That's what I do in most situations. Your friend's advice will be so memorable that you will never forget it.
Every time you get advice from someone, you should try to remember it. Later on in life you can give that advice to someone else. Besides, helping others is a good thing to do. For instance, if you come up on a problem that you cannot fix and someone tells you how to fix it you should remember that. Then, if you see someone struggling with the same problem, help them out.

91CD65156E4B,"Dear principal,
I agree with you 50% because if a student has a low grade, and participates in school sports, their grades could drop even lower because they might not be able to finish their homework. The other 50% goes to: you should also let students know ahead of time when a sport is coming up, so they can get their grades up and be in the sport of their choice. I also think you should try that the parents should be able to say if their kids can be in sports if their grades are low; you probably wouldn't get as many complaints from parents and students that way.
I think that it would be hard to have a team sport because most of the students in the school have a grade of C or lower. For example: If RELATIVE_NAME had a C, and was close enough to a B, but couldn't get his grade raised by try outs. Don't you think you'd get a complaint from RELATIVE_NAME or his parents knowing that he was working so hard to raise his grade and was very close to a B, but still had a C? Because some students work so hard to get their grades raised so they can be in the sport, but sometimes they can't get them raised in time.
I think that it would be a good idea to also try to bring the grade down to a D because a C is still passing. If you lower the grade expectations then you'd have less complaint and more kids trying out for team sports. Also, I think it'd be hard for students to raise their grade in so little time without knowing in advance. For example: RELATIVE_NAME has a C and wants to tryout for cheerleading. She has a week to bring up her grade before try outs start; but the day of try outs she gets a bad grade on a test and drops her B back down to a C. Don't you think letting kids who did bring their grade up, but it dropped back down, participate in sports?
Another example is that RELATIVE_NAME had a B, she tried out and made it, but the next day was called into the principals office. He told her that her grade had dropped and she can't participate in that sport. Thinking about that; don't you think it'd be unfair to tell students that can't be in a sport once they've made it because of a silly bad grade on a test or paper or homework assignment? Think about how many hearts you could break, and how many kids could possibly hate you by the end of the year.
Many kids have been doing these sports for many, many years. Do you really want to tell someone they can't be in a sport due to a bad grade? Remember, it is a good idea, but it's also hard for students to keep a B average grade or bring up their grade. So, find different ideas on this, try them out and see which one works best.

CA0D04C09E69,"Imagine that you have started going to a newly built school and the school system has decided to set aside money to fund for extracurricular activities and sports. Your principle has decided that all students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity or sport. Do you agree with this? Personally, I believe that students should not have to participate for a few reasons: These activities can cause students to become injured or sick, they cost money and can take time out of a parents work day.
As we know, sports and other activities can be fun, but they also come with risks. Students can become injured or sick. If a student becomes injured, they may need medical attention or maybe even a surgery to help them get back to normal. This may also affect their daily life because they may need help carrying items or walking correctly. If a student is sick, they could spread it to other people or possibly affect their work in and out of school.
Our parents work very hard to make the money that they have. Extracurricular activities cost money, whether it is for a field trip or sports equipment. Unfortunately, many families in America don't make a lot of money and I see that as being another problem with the principle's decision. Field trips are also another fun part about extracurricular activities but some parents don't have enough money to send a child lunch to eat or even to be able to attend.
When it comes to work, our parents do a lot. They often will do anything to provide for their family. For example : A mom works double jobs to be able to provide basic needs for her kids and pay the bills every month. When students have sports or extra activities, this can cause them to have to leave work early for pick up or have to work over time for missing it.
Extracurricular activities and sports are not for everyone. In conclusion, this is why students shouldn't be required to participate in at least on extracurricular activity or sport because students can become injured or sick,the activities cost money and can take time out of a parents work day.

6D7FF613393A,"It is two forty-nine, and Generic_Name has to wait only one more minute for the school day to end. He was looking forward to having his first baseball practice of the fall later that night. The bell rings, and Generic_Name begins to cheer loudly.
""Generic_Name are you excited for science club today?"" said Generic_Name, Generic_Name's best friend. Generic_Name froze, and had remembered he had science club for two hours after school today. Generic_Name began panicking, and started asking himself questions.
""Am I going to be late for practice?"" ""Will I have time to finish my homework?"" Then Mr. Generic_Name, Generic_Name's last block teacher, began to pack up his things, getting ready to leave work for the day, before Generic_Name said, ""Mr. Generic_Name, why are you leaving, isn't there yearbook club today?"" Mr. Generic_Name let out a disappointed sigh and began to unpack all of his things. This is how life would be if all students had to participate in after school activities. I disagree that all students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity because it won't provide students the time necessary to complete their homework to the best of their abilities, many students participate in sports outside of school, and teachers will have to spend more time after school directing clubs.
The first reason I disagree that all students must participate in extracurricular activities is because it won't provide students the time necessary to complete their homework to the best of their abilities. If a student participated in a club that extended their school day by two hours, that is two hours fewer that the student has to complete homework. There are some days where a student will receive homework for every subject, and if my principal took away my time do my homework, I would be furious. Also, when students don't have the time necessary to complete assignments to the best of their abilities, they race through it to complete it and risk earning a failing grade. If a student feels stressed and overwhelmed by their homework because of an after school club, they should have the choice to not participate in the club. Homework is practice for later assessments, and if the student does not have time to practice and prepare for the quiz or test, they will never learn what they need to and will not succeed on the assessment.
The second reason I disagree that all students must participate in extracurricular activities is because many students participate in sports outside of school. Some students play at a level where they are practicing several times a week. For example, if a middle school student has baseball practice at six o'clock, and their after school club ends at five, not only will they have to rush from school to practice, but may be at risk of being late. Coaches of competitive teams find it frustrating if their players are late to practice. A student can also become very exhausted from a long day at school and may not perform well with an exhausted body and mind. An athlete must also be dedicated to their sport outside of practices, which means working to get better after school. Student-athletes have to find a balance between their schoolwork and their sports, and this can be difficult if a club is being thrown into the mix as well.
The final reason I disagree that all students must participate in extracurricular activities is because teachers will have to spend more time after school directing clubs. Teachers spend hours a day grading papers outside of school, and some still struggle with completing this. The last thing a teacher wants to do is have a few hours of grading papers cut off their day so they can direct a club. If a teacher has an hour and a half less to grade papers, then that is a few hundred assignments left without a grade. These papers begin to add up, and before they know it, they have 5 stacks of assignments that are being graded at two in the morning. Not only will the teacher have to supervise the club, but they will also be tasked with planning what the members are doing at every meeting, on top of planning for what they are teaching their students throughout the normal day. A teacher is still a human, and can become stressed out by all this extra work they have to complete. All of this extra work for them takes away the valuable time they can be spending with their beloved families.
The bell rings, and Generic_Name goes soaring out of the door, to his locker, outside to the bike rack, and begins his peaceful bike ride home. He can not wait for baseball practice and to see all of his teammates again. As Generic_Name arrives home, his mom calls to him, ""I made you a smoothie, it's on the counter."" Generic_Name sits down and opens up his laptop, and begins working on his history presentation. When he was finished, he was sure that it was the best work he had ever done. A couple of hours later, Generic_Name arrives at practice, and is so enthusiastic to see his teammates. Generic_Name was thrilled to be back on the ball field! This is how a student would feel without the stress of having to participate in a club. They have time to actually perform well on homework and projects, and can enjoy their life as a kid.

6F101B276EB1,"Although cell phones have not been around for a very long time, they have become a key part of our lives.
People use their cell phones for just about everything such as: texting, talking, schedule planning, internet surfing, etc.
Sometimes we can even do two or more of these things at the same time.
Unfortunately, people are also choosing the wrong time to be using their cell phones: while they are driving.
As a society, we have become so focused on how much we can do at one time that we are willing to risk our personal safety as well as the safety of others because we can't put down our cell phones.
When driving, sometimes it is difficult to focus on the road which makes it easy to forget that the roads are shared by everyone and not for your exclusive use. Other drivers on the road take notice of drivers on their cell phones whether they want to or not because of the hazards they create. Erratic driving is something that we all get quite worked up about, especially if it makes us late or is otherwise a direct inconvenience to us. Scott Clark, veteran web business strategist and the owner of the consultancy BuzzMaven Labs, says ""[He] came within inches of a bad accident because of a young driver being on the phone and crossing three lanes of traffic at 45 mph."" Drivers are also tailgating you because of, again, the inability to maintain a constant speed because they are on the phone. Clark warns of ""[...] the rusty red Camaro [tailgating] the minivan full of kids."" Drivers who use cell phones while driving are also highly dangerous to pedestrians. A young woman killed a pedestrian on a bicycle while she was texting on her phone. She may not have intended to end that person's life, but she made the poor decision to drive and text which she has to live with for the rest of her life.

D9C7239183B8,"Many schools require students to complete summer projects to make sure they are still learning during their summer brake. Do you think they should be Student-designed or teacher-designed?. They should be student-designed because it gives students a chance to be creative,they can learn something they are interested in,and finally lets them have fun with their projects during the summer.
Although some people may argue that letting the students choose their own projects would lead to them either not doing it or to them choosing the easiest subject and finishing it in a day or two,But there are other view points to consider.
First,Letting students choose their own projects will let them be creative. A lot of students like to stand out and be different from the rest of their peers. As many people know not every student is the same and not every student thinks the same way. So they should let the students express themselves in their projects and even teachers will get to see a whole other side to their students that they never knew they had. For example,every artist in the world are expressing them selves everyday with their art and millions of people love it,and do you think that a teacher assigned that art work to them?.
Secondly,Students will be able to work on something they are interested in. Many schools and teachers force kids into learning something they dont want to learn or have not interest in and that is why they dont retain any of the information. I understand that not every subject they need will catch there attention but when it comes to something they have a choice in learning most kids will choose what they are really interested in. Why? because we as people don't like it when someone tells us we have to learn this or do this assignment and when they do they are not going to do it with effort,why,because they don't like it or have interest in it. When they let the student choose what they want to learn then they will do it with passion and lost of interest because they like the subject and really want to learn more about and so they will try their best and they will learn new things about a subject that they never knew before. For example,Kaka was one of the greatest soccer players in the world,winning many champions of Europe and many others,and his parents were lawyers and wanted him to become oneas well but he had no interest in it. No matter how much his parents tried he didnt find interest in it until he started playing soccer and he loved with a passion and so his parents let him do that. So letting their son do something that he found interest in it led him to become one of the greatest soccer player the world has ever seen.
Finally,it lets the students have a little fun with their projects and during the summer. Now these students are still kids and still need to have fun during their summer brake because they did jest go thought months of learning and when they finally get out they have to learn even more. Plus if the project is teacher-designed then they are going to feel like they are back in school but if they choose what they wanna do for their project then they can have fun while doing it. Like i said in the above argument they will be learning something they have interest in and you never know with kids they can come up with some weirdest and funnest things for their projects. They are able to do many experiments for their projects when they dont feel obligated to do it and can jest do fun things that get it done.
In Conclusion,summer projects should be student-designed because it gives students a chance to be creative,they can learn something they are interested in,and finally lets them have fun with their projects during the summer. because of the reasons listed here,Students should choose there summer project. also these kids are our country's future and they need to know that expressing themselves is ok and letting people know what they want is also important.

9421C2BAB52A,"I think that the new software, the Facial Action Coding System, is actually amazing and wierd at the same time. It can be interesting towards some people and not to other because it can make people feel uncomfortable.
Read peoples emotions without the persons consent might make them feel quite vulnerable or uncomfortable. Dr, Eckman has only classified six basic emotions. Happiness, suprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness were the six emotions. I think that are more than just six basic emotions that need to be taken into consideration. I do agree when Dr. Haung said, ""Even though individuals often show varying degrees of expression."" Caculating the extent of someones real emotion or expression is very difficult for trained professionals to actually get how a person might be feeling, so how can a computer know? I think just by measuring the persons muscles on their face it can just be a fake smile just looking like a real smile. Using this technology in different locations and settings could be very helpful. If the prodect accuratly can measure exactly how a person might be feeling.

5731B20FE69D,"Most teenagers are eager to get their license, but with the amount of cars being bought and used declining, it seems as if most don't mind not being able to drive. While it may be extrememly hard to not own a car in our society, there are many advantages of limiting car usage.
Pollution has always been an issue in our world, mostly because of cars. Diesel fuel was blamed for ""near-record pollution"" in Paris, and driving was banned to clear the air. Because cars cause so much pollution that it forces us to ban them, it is therefore causing us to slow the buying on them. As of April 2013, the number of miles driven per person was nearly 9 percent below where they were in January of 1995. This may be because most Americans cannot afford a car these days, but not owning a car will definitely not burn a hole in our wallets.
Not only are cars consuming of our space (with a car comes a garage), they are comsuming of our money as well. Gas prices have been and are currently rising, which makes it very difficult for some car-owners to pay for other important necessities in their lives, such as children.
Limiting car usage has also made an impact on some people's mood. In Vauban, Germany, 70 percent of families do not own cars, and it has been more than beneficial. Media trainer and mother of two Heidrun Walter says ""When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way."" For example, you might have had a bad day, or are upset about something and are driving home from work. Your anger channels into your driving and causes an accident. This all could have been avoided if we cracked down on the usage of cars.
Overall, cars have been very beneficial for our society, but we get even more benefits if we stop using them.

The reason why the use of this technology would be very valuable is becuase,imagine a computer that knows when your're happy or sad.

First, She's 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry. No that's not your science teacher, grading your latest lad assignment.

Imagine if ""A classroom could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored,"" Dr. uang predicts. "" then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor."" The same technology can make computer- animated facs more expressive-for video games or video surgery.
Second,""Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication,"" notes Dr. Huang. ""So computers need to understand that, too."" Your home PC can't handle the complex algorithms used to decode Mona Lisa's smile. But we can write down some simple instructions that ""encode"" different emotions. Eckman has classified six basic emotions- happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness- and then associated each with characteristic movements of the facialc muscles.
Third, ""The facial expression for each emotion are universal,"" observes Dr. Huang, "" even though individuals often show varying degrees of expressions""(like not smiling as broadly). Using video imagery, the new emotion - recognition software tracks theese facial movements- ina real face or on the painted face of Mona Lisa. By weighting the different units, the software can even identitfy mixed emotions(as in da Vinci's master piece). Each expression is compared against a neutral face (showing no emotion).

DD586A625C89,"January 24th, 2011
Dear Principal,
In my opinion, I strongly believe that cell phones should be turned off and put into people lockers during the school day other than allowing students to have their phones at lunchtime. In this generation, too many kids are using their cell phones in rule breaking, grade declining ways.
First off, if students are allowed to have their phones on at lunch, it would just encourage kids to take their phones into their class and text their friends while missing important information. We all know that this is already a big problem here. If the new rule is made, the no cell phone rule wont get any 'better'. In fact, the problem will just slowly get worse until texting in class gets out of hand. If cell phones are allowed in school just during lunch, it could be in one kid's mind thinking, ""If its allowed at lunch, then the teacher wont be so strict on texting in class."" Once one kid starts flipping out the cell phone in class, other people will catch on and turn on their mobile devices too. In a matter of months, it could lead to more detentions, more suspensions, and more angry parents. So think, what is the positive of having cell phones even at lunch?
Another reason why cell phones shouldn't even be allowed is the lingering question, ""Why do kids need to text in school when their friends are there?"" Sure, using your phone outside of school to contact your friend is reasonable. But If you have the same class with your buddy, you don't need to pop out your cell phone just to get the buzz on who's dating who. In other words, cant you talk to your friends at lunch time? That is the main reason why lunchtime was created in schools- to talk to your friends instead of using the alternative cell phone. Also, if cell phones weren't allowed in school and teachers really cracked down on the new rule, it would stop kids right in their tracks from attempting to get their cell phones out while they're learning about the Louisiana Purchase. Overall, this rule would set a great example for kids and teach them that cell phones are a distraction and lead you out of school. This would be a win-win situation.
In the end, cell phones are really meant for outside of school and immediate emergencies. At best, i recommend that students should have their cell phones off and in their locker during the school day.

883D374AC02F,"Have you ever wanted to do something but where to lazy to do it? I agree with Making kids participate in an extracurricular activity because it would fix this problem by making kids participate. One reason why Being forced to participate in an extra curricular activity could benefit these kids is because it could make them more have more hobbies and goals. The next reason why making them participate in extracurricular activities would be good for them is because they can find new activities that they enjoy and become successful of them. Another reason why forcing them to participate would be good is because It could allow them to develop better social skills and become a better person.
One reason why forcing them to do activities would benefit them is how they could develop new hobbies and goals. For example, when I started swimming my parents forced me to go to practice even when I did not want to. Now I am a competitive swimmer and enjoy going to practice because I have goals that I want to accomplish. This example shows how making someone participate in something can sometimes benefit them by giving them new hobbies and goals. Another example is when my parents signed me up for the river hawk running program at my school and I did not enjoy running. But now I have made running one of my hobbies and I will try out for my high schools cross country team. This example shows how I was being forced Into running and started out not liking it but now I do. These examples show how being forced into doing something can benefit you by giving you goals and a chance to pursue something.
The next reason why I think making students participate in an extracurricular activity could benefit them is because they can find new activities that they enjoy and then become successful in them. An example is how my parents forced me to swim and now I will be on TV swimming in Florida at the national level for my age group. This example shows how I was successful and because I was forced to be a swimmer I made it on TV. Another example is how my mom forces me to go to school and I have become a successful student and have been getting all A grades. Another example of how making students participate in an extracurricular activity could make them more successful Is how my brother became a successful piano player. My parents made him start taking Piano lessons and now he has become great at Piano and may try to become are school Piano player. This example shows how my brother became successful by my parents making him start piano. All of these examples show how It would be good for the principle to make the students participate in an activity because it would make them a more successful person.
Another reason why making students participate in an extracurricular activity could benefit them Is how they could develop better social skills and become a better person. An example of this is when I was in fourth grade and I did not like to talk to people. But when my parents signed me up for a activity after school that would help go around helping people and do food drives I became involved with the program and started to talk to people finding ways to help others. This example shows how I developed better social skills and I became a better person by helping others. Another example of how extracurricular activities help develop my social skills is when I joined my first Triathlon team I had work hard to keep up with my team and cheer for other teammates. This example shows how I was using social skills to cheer for my teammates and why extracurricular activities could benefit students.
I agree with Making students do extracurricular activities. One reason why I think making kids do extracurricular activities would be a good Idea Is because they can develop new hobbies and make goals for themselves to achieve. Another reason why I think they should be forced to participate in an extracurricular activity is because they could find new activities that they enjoy and become successful in them.

But is it the best choice for students be allowed to take school online. Students would benefit form being able to attend classes form home because they can pick their own time when they start, have more choices of classes and can still learn during crises.
Picking what time to start school would be a benefit of why students should be able to attend classes from home. For some students it could be hard to wake up at six in the morning to go to school because, of that some teen fail classes. It could be because, they were working all night to help their family with their money problem. With online school student could now start school at ten in morning and have a job later in the day so that they still get job exertions and help their family. It will also get rid of the problem of not being able to go to the bathroom and being hungry during class. Now they could just get go get a snack or use the bathroom. Some may agree, that Student will juts waste their time doing something else. However, with online school parent would be able to check when their kid log in in and for long and also what they have done.
Having more classes to choose form would benefit students taking classes form home. Student would able to pick form more classes online then in school. For example, a kid want to learn about how to build a car or robot., now they can pick more classes based on what they what to do later in life. Schools can not have every avablie classes because of space, but with online now they could take classes that would help them in the future. Also, most adults do not thing that things they learned school were helpful like for example why do we need to learn about pie in math. It would better if there was more classes to choose form help them out in college. Some may agree, that student would take all the easiest class to finish online fast. However, some student may need to take easier classes. One reason could be that they have a learning disable so it is harder for them to learn. also could that they want to not go to college or just want to go to trade school ,so do not need all the harder classes.
Students would benefit form being able to attend classes form home because they can still learn during crises.
With the Coronavirus out there right now school are scambing to find away or student to still learn while not spreading the virus. The humans who where already learn for home do not have to worry about nothing and it is also harder for them to get the virus. With diseases and viruses school are one of the fastest ways to spread them. will it take is one kid to have the disease to it around spread the whole school and then everyone gets it. With online school it would be harder for kids to get the disease. Some may agree, that there other ways to spread disease too. However, there are other ways to spread them, but schools are the biggest way. With schools gone it would take way longer for disease like the Coranavirus to spread around the world.
With being able to pick our own time when they start, have more choices of classes and can still learn during crises are reason why Students would benefit form being able to attend classes form home. If we do not act now another virus could pop up and stop student form learning. Also with a limited of choices of classes more and more people will just think school is useless.

Dear TEACHER_NAME,
I think policy one is better. Which is to allow students to bring cell phones to school and use them when they have free time. I agree with this policy for many reasons. I think its both fair to the students and the school staff. As for the other policy, policy two, I'm going to have to disagree with that policy. There is no point in making that policy anyways because, students are still going to bring cell phones to school even though there asked not to. So I would, and most of my fellow students will also agree with policy one.
One reason why policy one is better is because students need cell phones. For emergency's and other use. And if you try to make cell phones banned from school it will anger both parents and students. Some students need it to stay in contact with their parents and others need it for music, texting etc.
Policy one states that cell phones can be used during lunch and free time. It's very disrespectful to text or call someone in class while the teachers are trying to teach, but policy one says that cell phones can't be used during class time. And I'm sure that if students get to use their phone during school hours while they have free time is more than enough which will prevent them from using it during class.
Over all, I think that's its best to enforce policy one. I would rather to use my cell phone during lunch or free time but not using it at all is very uncomfortable. And I'm sure students will respect that policy more than policy two.
Sincerely,

A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus. Even more challenging are the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus's atmosphere. That sound dangerous, and it is dangerous because it could hurt and possibly kill someone.
Venus is our sister planet. Some call us twins because of the sizes we both have. But, Venus is the closest to the sun like Mercury is the first panet next to the sun. So Venus is the warmer part of our sisterhood, and Earth are the cold part of our sisterhood. It's sort of like Venus is Anna because of her warm personality. And earth is like Elsa, because of her frozen powers, so she is extremely cold when it comes down to things. Earth at the moment is like Elsa because of its winter landish time of the year.
To be truthful, trying to go to Venus is a good way to learn more about the planets and to see if there is any living sources out there in the galaxy. But at the same time it's a good way to get killed.(not saying you should do it for the fun of it or for suicide.)
You should at least make some sort of suit that is safe for acid to hit it and so it doesn't melt your suit. It will be pretty cool to finally go to other planets and explore them.

27E6536433B9,"Everyday you see kids participating in football, baseball, basketball, and other extracurricular activities, it is part of the balanced day for most kids. Extracurricular activities are important and enjoyed by most, but I believe children should not be forced to do activities like sports or clubs. Even though extracurricular activities are important they are hard for some to do. Many parents and kids nowadays don't have time for these activities with all the work and homework they have to do. Also some kids have disabilities or mental disabilities that cause problems when they are trying to do activities like football or yearbook club. In my opinion forcing extracurricular activities on kids is wrong because some parents and kids don't have time, and some kids with disabilities or mental disabilities might have trouble with rigorous activity.
In schools all across America kids have homework, it's unavoidable, children have to work hard no matter which school they go to. Homework is a required part of school and some schools give more homework than others. In schools that offer AP level classes students have about 4-5 hours of homework each day, giving them no time to do extracurricular activities. Kids are stressed with this work, and putting other activities on top of it is just creating more stress. Parents don't have time too because the average workday takes up most of their time, and driving kids back and forth from each activity can really mess up a parent's schedule. An average workday for parents is about 8 or 9 hours and work is hard and demanding for most parents. This is why the principal should not force kids to do extracurricular activities because some just simply don't have the time.
In many American schools kids are burdened by a disability or mental disability. These disabilities cause some kids to have trouble with school work, focusing, and completing simple tasks such as writing with a pencil. This is why it would not be beneficial to force these kids to do extracurricular activities. The rigorous work of clubs like a math club, a yearbook club, or a reading club would overstimulate some of these kids. It would lead to tantrums, fits, and bad behavior from some of these kids, and it would distract the other club members from their work. Extracurricular activities like baseball or football would not be beneficial for them either because some of these kids with disabilities have trouble throwing a ball, standing up straight, and walking if it is a serious case. While it is not a bad thing for kids with disabilities or mental disabilities to join a club or sport, it is just harder for some of them to do extracurricular activities because of their underlying issues.
This is why I believe kids should not be forced to participate in extracurricular activities because while they are beneficial they are hard for some. Extracurricular activities cause issues for parents and kids with no time, and in some cases they force kids with disabilities to do things they cannot do. For example, some parents have work from 8 am until 7 pm and this would not allow any time for drop off and pick up. Also kids have a lot of homework, opening up little time for kids to do extracurricular activities. Lastly some kids with disabilities and mental disabilities just don't have the capacity to participate in extracurricular activities. Many say that extracurricular activities should be required, but I feel forcing all kids to do them is wrong. I can't believe the principal is even considering doing this, but what do you think? Should extracurricular activities be required?

8A10A65857EE,"Have you ever needed good advice? Just ask a lot of different people for good advice. If you're going to pick something out, a lot of opinions will help.
you might make a bad choice without asking for advice, you don't want to make the wrong choice either, you can also add on to someones advice they gave you to get a better outcome, getting a lot of advice will also make you more confident.
You want to get a lot opinions and advice to make the best choice. Let's say you want to get a big smart dog breed but you only ask one person for advice on your choice. You might get a good or bad answer. They could think a certain dog breed is good, but turns out it's just, not what you wanted. But if you asked multiple people you'll have a better outcome. A lot of people will probably mention same dogs, like a German Sheppard or Great Dane. There is an upside to only asking on person for advice though. It's faster, asking only one person or no one is easier but the outcome won't be as good. If you asked a lot of people instead, the outcome will be much better.
Getting a lot of different advice is good because you don't have to just use one persons advice you could use multiple. You could be going on a vacation and not knowing any good places to go, or places in a city you could going to. If you have an idea where you want to go like somewhere sunny, warm, cold etc. if you ask multiple people, they'll probably know a few places. Same with if you ask one person, but you're only hearing it from one person, it doesn't give you a lot of places to go. When you ask a lot of people some will probably be more specific and say good restaurants and other places or activities you could try. Then you'll have your full plan with a whole bunch of different places you could go and enjoy.
Lots of advice can make you more confident. Maybe you're trying something new, like a new sport. One person could leave some things out, but if you ask multiple people, another person could say something one person left out. People could give you advice on what equipment to buy, or if there's a certain type or size of ball you need to buy for your age group. If you ask multiple people, at least one will help you practice and teach you the basics. Then when you go to the actual practice you'll be ahead of your teammates or ahead of the new ones. This would help a lot of people because people usually nervous to start something they've never done before. People might think you're really bad and not don't anything about what you're doing. People might yell at you and I don't know someone who likes being yelled at.
In the end it's your choice if you want a lot, a little, or no advice. I suggest you should get the most advice you can get. There are so many reasons for getting advice, It makes you more confident, and you have an idea in what you want to do. You know you're going to make a good choice and you can create your own plan with other people's advice.",,562,Seeking multiple opinions,Independent,"When people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person.

F2D460AF3FEF,"The use of cell phones in a vehiclesaaaaaaaassz
Gas and fire don't mix, so why should cell phones and the operation of a vehicle. In the essay I will be expressing my thoughts on using a cell phone while operating a vehicle. You will learn the statistics of how the majority of car crashes are caused by cell phones. I will discuss how cell phones can cause reckless driving. We will discuss ways to prevent ways of crashing while using your cell phone.
The statistics show that nearly 1.6 million crashes happen every year. Every year within those crashes 390,000 people are injured. One out of four times those crashes happen is from texting. I have a story to go along with the statistics.
A friend of mine was driving to go to the gym. On his way to the gym his father kept calling him, but he refused to use the phone while he was driving. So his dad kept calling and he thought it must be urgent. So he picked up the phone to call him back and within the first 30 seconds he crashed. Luckily it was just a minor crash and he was alright. That just goes to show you how distracting they are.
Besides speed, the most common reason for reckless driving is caused by cell phones, mainly texting. Driving requires your undivided attention, but when you're texting you're giving over half of your attention to your phone. Yes there is a hands free law that you can use but your phone still needs your attention to use the hands free law. It's like my friend's story he didn't pick up, but once he did he wrecked.
You should never be using your phone while driving. It could harm not only yourself but others too. that is why it is so important to be safe and not even think about touching your phone. All of your focus should just stay on the road.

Mona Lisa is 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted and 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry. Mona Lisa is a Painting that is drawn by the use of color painting and other handful material, when humans are drawing with their hand and feelings it shows the facial expression and emoyion of the drawing. Technology cannot be used to express humans feelins or emotions, even with what is installed in it.
With the use of technology, the facial expression and emotion of Mona Lisa and even other drawing emotions and feelings cannot be expressed because technology has no feelings or emotions, also emtoins cannot be calculated, ""Hold on! Can we actually ""calculate"" emotions-like math homework? And how can a computer recognize the subtle facial movements we humans use to express how we feel?"".
Technology cannot express feelings to human, so it cannot be used to calculate human emotional expression.

The use of technology to read emotions expressions of student in the classroom is not valueable because technology can never calculate the feelings or expression of humans.
In conclusion to the use of technology to calculate humans emotional expression. Technology cannot calculate humans expressions because humans emotion and facial expression varies from time to time and based on what there are seeing and feeling at the moment, so technology cannot calculate human expressions.

9ABD5B7DD107,"Dear TEACHER_NAME,
I have just been informed that you have been thinking about changing our school policy so that students may not participate in sports or other activities unless they have at least a grade B average. I understand your concern about us student averages and educations , but I think that it would be a little harsh if you were to change the rules because some students really do try their best, and still end up with an C average. I personally think that you should change the rule to that if you have a C average and missing work in that class then you shouldn't be able to participate in sports or any other after school activities. But if you have a C average and no missing work then your able to participate in after school activities.
The reason I think it should be done this way is because some students turn in all their work and still end up getting a C, because they got a bad grade on a test or something. I'll admit that most students do play around and do not turn in work, but end up getting lucky on a test or something along those lines, and still pull out a C average in that class. That in which them should not be rewarded.
I also do understand your concern about some students not understanding the material that is being taught to them. if that is to be the case them the student's that are having trouble or need a little help, they should come to an adult. They should not just sit in class and pretend they understand what they are learning and end up at the end of the year failing because the did not have the courage to ask for help. But that would not be all the students fault. Our teachers should be more open and inviting to the students. I'm not saying the teachers should become friends with the students, I just think that the teachers should be come friend with the students. The students should just be comfortable enough to open up to the teachers with out rejection.
So in conclusion I think that the rules should be changed but not to where we students have to have a B average to participate in after school activities. The rule should be changed to where if you have a C average but no missing work you can participate. But if you do have missing work in the class that you have a C average in then you can not participate, because that shows that did not do your personal best in that class. This is why the rule should not be change to where you have to have a B average to participate in after school activities.

I think you should not make the average grade from a C to a B to participate in sports.
I think you should not do that because many students maybe trying their hardest ever but is still struggling to get a higher grade in school. Also if you make the average to a B it may make some of the students work harder, but you would maybe lose almost all your players on that sports team, since most of them have C' s in their grades. And also some of the students would not get a scholarship on that sport they are playing because you raised the average to a B. Also some of the best players on teams sometimes has the lowest grades out of all the players on that sport they are playing. In my opinion I think it would make a lot more students happier if raised it to a low B. Or even maybe a high C. Maybe u should maybe leave it alone.",,168,Grades for extracurricular activities,Independent,"Your principal is considering changing school policy so that students may not participate in sports or other activities unless they have at least a grade B average.

DC0D4BED5690,"Cell Phone Policy response
I believe that the policy you will put into effect should be policy number 1. I agree that students should not be allowed to disrupt their learning by answering calls or texting in class. I do however believe that as long as teachers keep them from being used in class when the learning is going on, they won't be as much of a distraction.
First of all, I would like to defend my decision by saying that learning goes on in classrooms, during class. During free time, time in between classes, and lunch, there is usually no learning or educational content being taught. So, my point is: How can cell phones disrupt learning during the times when there is no learning going on? I understand that we should be kept free of distractions such as cell phones during the time when attention needs to be on learning, and not on incoming calls or texts, but when students aren't learning anything, they should have access to their phones.
Another reason that I feel policy #1 should go into affect instead of policy #2 is that when kids at school aren't allowed to bring phones to school, kids won't have phones going to and from school. For some kids, those times when they leave school are the reason why they even have cell phones; they have them so that they can contact their parents if they have a sudden change in after school plans such as tutoring or practice for sports or fine arts. Having phones in school makes it much more convenient for students who need their phones to contact people for these reasons.
Third of all: I didn't want to bring this up, but there are rule breakers. if you ban phones, it is almost inevitable that some kids will bring their phones to school anyway and use class time to do things such as texting under their desks. These things would be even more distracting than receiving calls during classtime and might c",,334,Cell phones at school,Independent,"Your principal is reconsidering the school's cell phone policy.

F497369C41C2,"We all hide our emotions at one point or another but, what if we had the technology that could detect whatever were feeling despite if were trying to hold them in or not. The Facial Action Coding System or FACS is just that piece of technolgy that is capable of detecting any given emotion. Dr. Huang inventor of this software has even modified it to were it can find out any emotion or emotions all at once. It's been questioned should this kind of technolgy be used in classrooms for students. The Facial Action Coding System is valuable to students in the classroom because, if any student is having troubles on the actvity at hand the Facial Action Coding System could detect that modify the prompt and make it easier for the student to then understand. Second, this software could help you better understand someone and their well-being being able to see exactly what's making them happy and what's making them upset. Third, it's better way for human and computers to ""communicate or interact"".
Anybody couldn't say that they haven't had problems understanding something at any given point in time. Simpily because, everyone can't understand everything right away with no problem/obstacle getting in the way weither it being how the words are phrased or if the vocabulary is too hard to comprehend. FACS could solve this issue right away. As presented in the passage ""Dr. Huang predicts, then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor,"" therefore making it easier for the student or user to understand what is being asked or written. Solving probems much quicker than the instrustor could explaining the information piece by piece.
Understanding emotions when communicating with someone is key. Yet, we might not recognize all that are being distrubed to us. Another great reason for FACS to come into play. As stated in the passage ""you can probably tell how a friend is feeling simply by the look on her face. Of course, most of us would have trouble actually describing each facial trait that conveys happy, worried, etc."" This is all very true we can't comprehend every emotion that's more dull or hidden. So why don't we get a little help at recognizing more emotions. With FACS we can better understand someones true feelings inside and their well-being. This can than lead to possibly help solving some of the persons unsolved issues and other ""troubling thoughts."" Helping them become of the better verison of themselves.
In our generation today technolgy is something that we live and breath. It's important that we become familair with technolgy and being able to use it properly and effectifly. ""Huang and his colleague are experts at developing better ways for human and computers to communicate."" Now isn't this perfect? Huang can help us better understand computers and help computers better understand us. If students will be using computers 24/7 why not have the proper setup for them. If the software gets used in the way it's meant to it can overall have a positive effect towards the situation. After some time the computer can develop how the student or user works and operates and what they can understand and can not. Having a large postitive impact. Greater increasing the student's grades, confidence, and potentional in class. Allowing them to fully understand the content be covered better than they would ever before.
In conculsion, the Facial Action Coding System or FACS is valuable in the students classroom because, it can modify the content of the information to be better understood. Being able to see and recognize more emotions for peers. Lastly it can help the user better ""communicate"" with the computer.

C36FC4CCA47F,"I personally, think that it would be a bad idea to use this kind of technology in shools to help students learn. This is mainly because of errors that the computer could make, or other outside factors. If the program makes changes to the lesson due to facial expressions alone, then it would make an unbelievable amount of mistakes. In case you still aren't sure what im getting at ill explain in more detail below.
First lets just ignore the outside factors and I'll talk about just the flaws of it telling emotions based completely off of facial expressions. Im sure that I am not alone in saying that no matter how I'm being taught I will, without a doubt, be bored. If It detects this then it will try to switch to a way of teaching that it thinks that I will enjoy. The problem, however, comes when I'm bored with that way as well. Because it would keep switching, it would be almost impossible to learn anything due to the program changing how the lesson is tought every five minutes.
Now lets ignore the problems with the facial recognition not working properly, and focus on the outside factors that would make putting this in our schools a disaster. Lets say that you hate a the way it is currently teaching the lesson. Then out of nowhere you see PROPER_NAME over in the corner fall out of his chair and smile, meanwhile your computer is sitting there thinking, ""Oh boy, the human really likes it when I teach this way!"" and decides to teach like that more often. Well now that kid is stuck learning that way until the program can take a hint and change it. Now lets explore the opposite effect. Lets say that the program has been doing an amazing job teaching you, but your cat died yesterday so you are verry sad. The Program now thinks that it is doing a bad job teaching you and decides to cross that method of teaching off of the list and try another one. Now you aren't learning as well as you could be otherwise.
In conclusion, I think that it would be a horrible idea to utilize this technology in our school systems.

The people have gotten to depenent on cars and it just can't be that way because the gas used to power the cars are whats causing so much pollution and we need to stop that.
For places like china that has the most population in the world since a lot of poeple use cars over there, it made china the most polluted country in the world, which is never good pollution can cause serious problem that we the people do not want. All people have to do drive less and walk more or just drive less you don't even need to walk, but the less we drive the less polluted our world can be the better it is. People in Europe who live in Vauban, Germany which is a suburbed area, most of the people there dont use cars; 70 percent of the families that live in Vauban do not use cars and 57 percent of the 70 should there cars to move there. A population of 5,500 people, more than half of them dont use cars; now that sounds crazy but it works the area is less polluted and that life style is being adopted around the world in attempts to see if we the people can be less dependent on our cars and use them less.
Places like paris have banned driving because of to much smog in the air, and people who cantinued to drive got fined for 22-euros ($31) and more than 4,000 drivers got fined and there cars impounded for their reaction to the fine. Also in places like Bogota, Colombia they have a day were people are not allowed to use there cars besides buses and taxis and violaters were to face a $25 fine. That helped promote alternative transportation and reduce smog. Other columbian cities have also adpoted this no car free day and are using it to also help with smog.
People do not need to stop driving all around but we need to start driving less to prevent smog and pollution, the less we drive the less polluted our world is, and it takes everyone to do that. In the United states there is a study were every year less people are driving and getting there liscens and that right there is a start.

If the principal makes use do after-school activities im going to join a club or maybe try a new sport like volleyball or maybe i could even try flag football.
Therefore, the principal does not have the right to make us do any sort of sport because the last time i read the handbook i didnt see anything about having to do 1 extracurricular activities, but on the other hand if i wasnt busy after school i would most likely try out for the soccer team because soccer is one of my favorites to do at school because sometimes i get to play with my friends.
I hardly disagree with this whole argument because it would feel and look like regular school all over again even though we meet on different days the school will still be very packed full of a bunch of kids and the school will have to pay the lunch ladies and the bus drivers extra money.
In conclusion, i believe that the principal should just let the kids try out for sports that they want to try out for and not have to force them because they are not only hurting us by putting pressure on us but they are alao hurting the schools budget.",,259,Mandatory extracurricular activities,Independent,"Your principal has decided that all students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity.

EDDFFD34DBD4,"Is it better fro you to ask for more advice or less? In my opinion I believe that the more advice your gaining from different sources is crucial and here are a few reasons why i believe that.
The first reason is that the more sources you talk to it's more likely your going to get more advice then just talking to one source. On top of that if you talk to more sources they will most likely have different opinions from one another. Along with the other reasons the more different opinions those sources have the more advice youre taking in so you can make a smarter decision for yourself.
the second reason i believe it is better to talk to multiple source's is the decision the more advice you gain from the sources makes the decision a lot easier for you to make it would also help you make the correct decision. From experience it's a lot better to get more advice than a little amount. I needed some advice about a game to buy so i went to one of my closest friends he told me to get a game that he had and it would be super fun if we both played it together. but i was pretty hesitant of just buying the game because i didn't think i would play it very much because it didn't seem that interesting to me so what i did was went to a couple more of my other friends and they all suggested a different game than what my best friend suggested but they all suggested the same game everyone else did though and since they all had the game i went with the game they suggested and now i play it almost everyday with them.
The third reason i believe it is smart to talk to multiple source's for taking in advice instead of just talking to one source is opinions. The source's could have different opinions if you talk a lot different sources you might hear something you didn't even think about and that could change the solution to your problem for the better or for the worse. Like with the video game situation listened to my other friend's game suggestions i would had wasted my money on something i wasn't going to play i did listen to my other friends opinions i bought something i want to play. so you see that even strange suggestions can help make a decision on if you want to buy or sell or maybe even keep something. but like i said different suggestions can have a great impact on what your decision may be because without my best friend's suggestion i wouldn't have gone an talked to my other friend's about what i should buy.
Those are three reasons why i would talk to multiple different source's and get there advice instead of just talking to only one source and getting a microscopic amount of advice compared to the amount of advice i would get talking to multiple source's.",,501,Seeking multiple opinions,Independent,"When people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person.

AB831D6AD78A,"Once a year Summer break comes around, the time of year every student is looking forwards too from the moment it end till the minute it begins. Yet some schools believe that their students need to continue to study, and learn over this long break. Summer is a time that has always been advertised as a time to go on vacation and put down all the books for a series of weeks to have fun. Yet for some students this isn't an option some teachers assign rigorous assignments for students to complete which can completely control and ruin their time off. By having students plan their own summer assignments, students can still excel and be ready for school when they return, and have that ideal Summer that isn't behind a book or keyboard.
Giving students the opportunity to create, and design their own Summer work opens endless opportunities and can actually inspire learning new things inside and outside of the standard curriculum. By having majority of students elect a certain amount of peers to create these assignments for them, which would give a students insight on how much work we should be given, and how flexible it should be. Teachers still will have to approve of the work created and revise if, and as needed to make sure it is adequate and follows the curriculum to prepare students. With all of this said and done, many arguments can arise about how elected students could give minimalist work because they feel pressured by friends and other peers to make it easy, which is all more reasons teachers should still oversee the process, and decide if it is fair or not.
If schools eventually decide to let students design, and assign their own Summer homework this could still come with much skepticism, being a new concept means it could come with some minor flaws to be discovered. Yet with the proper determination and open willingness to change both students and teachers can benefit and be ready for the new school year when they return with the newly founded knowledge they need to succeed in their new year, while having their ideal vacations and spending time with their family instead of being behind a book or keyboard.",,371,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

E4E9CB27B89F,"Do you think is valuable to read the emotion expressions of students in a classroom?
I believe using technology to read emotional expressions of students is valuable because you can identify how they are feeling and learn their emotional expression. Is also valuable because you can tell if it work well or not. This is a way of testing this new technology and using it. Is to see everyone emotion such as happy,sad,angry,excited, shocked, etc. This is also a good idea to use this technology so they can identify if the students emotion is real or fake.
""A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored."" The purpose of this technology is to identify each emotion expression. You can see the students emotions even if they are trying to hide it. The article also said that ""new software has been developed that improves accuracy in perceiving the emotions of others."" Is a better way for humans and computers to communicate, also can calculate.
Teacher can help the students by identifying their emotions because it will make them feel better. This technology will be so useful because you don't have to worry about looking at students let the technology handle it. Is valuable because it shows how they feel their expression and emotion."" The technology can identify six basic emotion happiness, suprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness. ""The technology can associated each with characteristic movements of the facial muscles.""
The article said ""the process begins when the computer constructs a 3D computer mode of the face, all 44 major muscles in the model. What the technology does is first it identify the emotion expression then is match with the characteristic movements. Each facial expressions emotion are universal stated in the text. Is valuable because the technology can also identify mixed emotions, it can do alot of cool things. It is believe that humans perform the same impressive calculation everyday, which is true.
In conclusion i really believe that using this technology to identify students emotion expression is valuable. Not only does it help the teachers but i think it can really help the sudents too.
The most valuable thing from the technology is identifying multiple emotion or mixed emotions. This technology can also be really useful in the future becasue it has tons of things it can do.

9158A6D098B7,"Limiting car usage has lots of important advantages. By limiting car usage, we can, lower harmful greenhouse gas levels, reduce smog, and improve our environment and society. It wont happen immediately, but i do believe that if we start to limit car usage, that it will greatly benefit the world.
To begin with, cars cause a lot of the problems we are having with harmful greenhouse gas. ""Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emmissions in Europe... and up to 50 percent in some car-intensive areas in the United States."" (Paragraph 5, Source 1) Greenhouse gas emmisions are extremely harmful to the atmosphere. The greenhouse gases harm the earth's atmoshphere and we as humans, need the atmosphere to protect us from harmful radiation. By limiting car use, you are technically saving the planet and everyone on it.
Second of all, cars cause smog. Smog is extremely harmful to breathe in and is also bad for the environment. For example, in Paris, France, the government enforced a driving ban to alleviate the thick smog. After a few days of less cars on the road, the smog cleared up! (Source 2) This proves that if we didn't have cars in the cities that have smog such as Beijing and Paris, then smog would be much less of a problem and cities would be a much more healthy and safe place to live. Therefore, limiting cars results in less smog.
The last reason that limiting car usage is beneficial is that it will improve the environment and society. ""Parks and sports centers also have bloomed throughout the city; uneven, pitted sidewalks have been replaced by broad, smooth, sidewalks; rush-hour restrictions have dramtically cut traffic; and new restaraunts and upscale shopping districts have cropped up."" (Source 3) This shows that by reducing car usage, it has helped the city's economy and created a better place to live for its citizens. Bill Ford, executive chairman of Ford Motor Company, envisioned a world where personal vehicle ownership is impractical or undesirable. He saw a world that would ""save time, conserve resources, lower emissions and improve safety,"" (Source 4) This shows that by reducing car usage, the environment and society can be improved drastically.
All in all, I strongly believe that by reducing car usage, we can make the world a better place. By doing so, we can limit harmful green house gas, reduce smog, and change society for the better. These are only a few of the advantages of limiting car usage but you can already see why it is such a good idea. I hope you can take this information and make the world a better place.

3DCB4591B077,"After the long school year ended, a regular students that goes to Generic_School would think finally its summer break. Some students would have a job or would go to summer school and some students would be out on vacation to Hawaii. Unfortunately, not all students get to have a free summer break. There are schools out there that require their students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their summer break. There are debates on who should be the one who gets to design the summer projects, teachers or the students themselves. Students should be the ones who design their summer projects because as students they always have to follow instructions and rules so they should be given a little more freedom over the summer break.
There are students out there that wont feel comfortable or inspired to work on certain types of project that the teacher might have assigned them to work on over the summer so if the students get to design their own projects teachers would get to know their students way of leaning and their creativity therefore it benefit the teachers.
Students should get to design their own summer projects because they always have to follow instructions, rules and always listen to the teacher for the whole school year so shouldn't they design their own project over their break. Throughout the school year, teachers assign homework, project and give out tests and quizzes and as students, they always have to be on task and complete all the assignment to get a decent grade. So by the time summer comes students want a break, and they should get that break after all that hard work throughout the school year. Teachers shouldn't get to coose the type of projects their students get to do over the summer as long as the project is indeed school appropriate.
There are students out there that wont feel comfortable or inspired to work on certain types of project that the teacher might have assigned them to work on over the summer. There are students who are introverted and would hate to talk in front of the class, yet throughout the school year teachers assign them to present and talk in front of the class, some teachers call it ""getting them out of their comfort zone"" but what if that student was just uncomfortable with the topic that they have been assigned such as feet fungus for health class and having them present about it and hearing all types of whispers and giggles throughout the class, it would make anybody uncomfortable. There are projects that teachers assign that just won't work out very well for certain types of students.
If the students get to design their own summer projects, it would make it easier for teachers because they would get to know their students way of learning and how creative they can get. During the last quarter of the school year at Generic_School, art students get to have this really big and fun project, the best part is they get to pick what they want to do weather its painting on a canvas or drawing with charcoals they get to be as creative as they can be and can even mix things up!
its a great way for teachers to find what their students favorite topic was and what their students ahve learned because it would reflect in their students masterpieces everyone gets to see what thier classmates have done, and the best part is hearing everyone explain their project, where they got inspired and how they got inspired, it showed how everyone has a different thoughts process and ideas.
Everyone have different ideas and ways of doing things same, with learning there are students that would learn better a certain way when there are students that would learn better the complete opposite. It should be the students choice on what they want to do over their summer. If the teacher assigns a project for the students to work on over the summer, the summer is most likely ruined for most, so students should be the ones who design their summer projects because, as students they always have to follow instructions and rules so they should be given a little more freedom over the summer break. There are students out there that wont feel comfortable or inspired to work on certain types of project that the teacher might have assigned them to work on over the summer so if the students get to design their own projects teachers would get to know their students way of leaning and their creativity therefore it benefit the teachers therefore, If the teacher did design the students summer project, students wouldn't be as motivated.

C32DE5F18B26,"Do you think all kids should have to do an extracurricular activity for school? I think having extracurricular activities is good to have in schools because it gives kids the chance to do different things they want to do. I also think schools should encourage students to do extracurricular activities. However, I do not think students should be forced to do an extracurricular activity at school because they might be too busy with there school work, they might have an after school job, and they could already be doing an extracurricular activity outside of school.
My first reason why students shouldn't be forced to do extracurricular activities is because they might be to busy with school work at home. Teachers give out a lot of homework in each class and some students need a lot of time to do it. Making them do an activity after school, that they probably don't even want to do, might give them a hard time because then they might not get there homework done. If they manage to do do the activity and get there homework done then they might get to bed later than usually then they will not be able to do there best the next day and all the days after.
My second reason why students shouldn't be forced to do an extracurricular activity is because they might have a job after school. Even if the activity that student joined only meets once a week they still might need to work that day and can't request off. They also might have the job because they need to help provide for there families. You never know what a student goes through outside of school.
My last and finally reason why students should not be forced to do an extracurricular activity is because what if they are already doing one outside of school. A lot of students are already doing something they want to do outside of school and if they get forced to do an extracurricular activity in school they wouldn't have enough time for the one there doing outside of school. They shouldn't have to quit one they might have been doing there whole life with friends they love to start a whole new one. It wouldn't be fair to the student.
In conclusion, students shouldn't have to do extracurricular activities because they might not have time to do one because of personal reasons. They might have to help provide for there family because there parents can't, they might need extra help with school and have a tutor help them everyday, or they might already be doing an extracurricular activity outside of school.

According to the article ""Paris bans driving due to smog"", it says that ""After days of near-record pollution, Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city."" What Paris is doing is correct they want to get rid of the smog and the only way to do it is to get rid of the cars. Paris has more smog then other European capitals. Somes other type of trasportation a person can take instead of cars are hiking,skating, take a bus and also walking.
In the article ""In German Surburb,Life Goes On Without Cars"" Heidrun Walter states ""When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way."" Having a car is always stressful you always have to think if your car needs gas or your always stuck in traffic. Without a car we don't have to worry about things like that. Not having a car is always helpful for people's body, they go out more for walks and that helps them be more active. in the article ""The End of Car Culture"" they are asking them self ""Has America passed peak driving?"". In these year there are not some many cars in the streets as there used to be. People perfer to take a bus or ride there bikes to work.
Using a car can also be a benift. How can people get to places that are far away, not by walking or not taking the bus. What happens if the theb route your taking dosen't go where you need to be. The perfect solution is getting a car. You can car-pool your friends. However the gas price keeps going up. All the money you spend on your car bill.

Dear principal,
I do think kids in the school should do community service. I think that because children should do some kind of physical work. they could do something active to keep them occupied instead of doing something they are not supposed to do. Things like this will keep the kids out of trouble. I think tutoring little kids is a good thing to help them get better at whatever they are working on. Its better than having nothing to do. cleaning up litter is good for the environment.
In my opinion It is a good thing to do with your free time.
other good things to do with your free time are doing extra work at the school. Work like help clean up the lunchroom after school. It is better than going home and playing video games and wasting your time. other people should start to know Its not always about what they want to do.

803FCF571644,"Are principal decided to have all students participate in at least one extracurricular activity. Lots of students agree with his decision and others do not feel that he is right. I agree with his decision because extracurricular activities put students farther ahead academically and teaches them life skills.
The first reason I agree with this decision is because it puts students farther ahead academically. Doing activities like sports and year book club teaches problem salving skills like thinking ahead that will help student in school. For example, if your in a football game and you decide to change your play after looking at the other teams defense you were learning to think ahead. Also, doing extracurricular activities teaches students to learn from their mistakes. For Instance, if you were part of the basket ball team you could look back on the games you lost and learn how to get better. This helps in school because you could look at a test you failed and find out what you did wrong and how you could get better.
The second reason I agree with this decision is because it teaches students life skills. One skill extracurricular activities teaches is how to work with others. For example If you were part of the year book club you would learn to work with others to Finnish the year book in time which is a useful skill to know. Another reason is because it teaches you that life is not easy and you just have to push through it. An example, is if you were in year book club and you were falling behind you would learn how to get it finished in time. That is a good skill to have because in real life you will not always get all the time you what to Finnish something.
In conclusion, I believe he made a good decision. It is a good idea to have students do extracurricular activities because is puts students farther ahead by teaching problem salving skills and how to learn from you mistakes.

722C2FA2FA0E,"Texting and driving is a serious issue, around 10 teenagers die daily from texting and driving. With over 500,000 drivers admitting to using a cellphone while driving, and at least 25% of those being teens our future generations are growing more irresponsible on the roads. Car crashes are the main cause of death for teens considering texting and driving is over five times more likely to cause an accident than drunk driving. With the increase in people who text and drive the risk of being on the road also increases.
Distracting driving is the cause of over half of all car accidents and is most commonly found in ages 16-19. Parents need to be teaching their children the importance of staying focused behind the wheel. Parents need to make sure that their kids are staying safe on the roads and safe around other drivers. There are multiple car trackers that parents can access to track their kids on the roads and some parents even prohibit taking a phone while driving
Future generations are continuing to text and drive regardless to the numerous laws restricting distracted driving. A lot of teens continue to text and drive even though most of them are familiar with their states driving laws. However, most teens are not aware that distracted driving is more dangerous than drinking and driving and fail to see that their phones reduce their reaction speed and hand eye coordination behind the wheel.
If the countless driving laws that restrict texting and driving don't stop you from checking your phone behind the wheel then think about the risk you are putting on yourself and all the drivers around you. For a lot of drivers who struggle staying off their phone, they can start off by simply turning off their phone and putting it in the console. Other features like Bluetooth and do not disturb mode also help drivers keep their eyes on the road.
So if you ´re thinking about responding to your friend while driving, just simply wait until you have time to respond. There is no point in risking you and everyone around you over a stupid text. Just turn the phone off and wait until you ´re done driving to ensure the safety of all drivers and decrease the risk of a fatal accident.

One reason I think you should be a seagoing cowboy is to help the nations by giving them more things they need such as food, animals, and more. I think helping the nations by doing this in the war will contribute to them so they could win if I give them the things they need to win the war.
Another reason I think people should join is to have fun. I say that because while you are at sea you could explore different places around the world. While being a seagoing cowboy, I visited places like Europe and China while i was working as a seagoing cowboy. I also went to Greece to see an Acropolis, and I even went to an excavated castle in Crete. When the animals are unloaded you could play many things such as Table-tennis, baseball, volleyball, and many more in the empty holds where the animals were.

44588DAF5A33,"Extracurricular activities come in many different types, whether it be joining the football or softball team, or becoming a student council member, or even being a part of the yearbook. Most of the time extracurricular activities are a choice, you can do them or not do them. But, what if you had to do an extracurricular activity, you would still get a choice of which to do, but is that still the same. I think that making extracurricular activities necessary will strengthen, the school and everyone in it.
Extracurricular activities are one of the best things about a school, because your able to choose something else to be focused on, but it can also help the school to and keep all the activities thriving. If extracurricular activities were mandatory, then more people would join and the activities would not end, because sometimes if there aren't enough people to join, that activity would sees to exist for the rest of the year or season. But, that problem would probably only effect sports. If more people worked on the yearbook, then the yearbook would finish quicker and it could be full with more cool and interesting things. Most of the sports teams would also fill up fast. If you had to join an extracurricular activity, you would probably find a new passion for something you were never interested in before. If their were more people on the student council then the school would get a lot more student influence. All of this would really strengthen the school.
Some of these activities, like drama and sports, take place after school, and if you had to stay after school frequently then it would give a lot more wiggle room for your parents to pick you up. Some parents work when there kid's school ends and they don't have time to pick them up. If they were to not leave for another hour or more, parents can stay at their job and not worry about their kids. It gives more time for parent to get work done at home or at work and this doesn't have any disadvantages for you or your parents. Also, being a bus driver can be very stressful, and with less kids on buses because of their extracurricular activities, bus drivers can have a better and Safe drive without kids yelling and misbehaving behind them.
When students have extracurricular activities they have something else to focus on then their school work and that balances out their stress and anxiety. It gives them something else to think about and that usually decreases stress, but you can over think all the stuff you need to to and that can give you more. Mostly you will be in a better mental state. If you joined a sport it can strengthen your physical health to, and I don't really have to explain why.
Extracurricular activities are a great think because it gives you a choice, but if that decision get taken away from you, it will probably benefit you in many ways. And you can still get some choices you can make about it. It will strengthen your school, your staff, and parent, and most of all yourself.

E4196C7BE2AF,"In life the only way to get ahead in life is by learning. The means of obtaining the knowledge has changed throughout the decades since the coming of public education. Now, with technology most importantly the internet kids are able to obtain a respected education from the comfort of their own home via online school. Students who are able to achieve their diploma from home with online school will have a way easier time from a kid who goes to school.
The comfort of someone's own house is a common commodity most take for granted. There's something sacred about that feeling, a piece of mind almost, that sets a person at ease. This is a main focal point of the online program, the stress free relaxed environment that comes with being able to stay home all day if one so chooses. Being able to take classes from home also relieves stress on the parents of the house who aren't having to rush to send their kid off to school everyday and all the hassle that comes with everyday nuances like those. This also tags along with the point of having an easier schedule students who take online aren't in classes for eight hours a day miles from home. These kids who do online take less classes than average students and take them for a fraction of the time. This idea of comfort also gives kids who are made fun of or bullied to thrive in an enviroment where they feel okay. This also applies just to the kids who just dont fit in or have that social anxiety and can't handle such a large scene full of thousands of kids they don't even know. Online let's those kids have ther safety and securtiy they need in their head to do what needs to be done and ont worry about al the excess drama that inevitably comes with being in highschool.
In this country a person can be dirt poor and homeless not a thing to his name but still have his freedom. Freedom is an important factor to as why kids prefer online to traditional public school. They can take their classes at anytime of the day and have the power of having at least the choice of choosing when they take their classes. They have the freedom to do whatever they please while in class, if a student wanted to fold laundry and make lunch while learning calculus so be it he can if he chooses, which is why freedom is if not the main a very prioritized benefit for kids enrolling into online classes. Along with that freedom another right a man or woman in this country will have is his or her protection. Security comes with that ability to stay tucked away in your own home where nobody can harm you. This also goes the other way around though, if this kid is constantly involved with fighting, bullying, or harassing other students this makes the student body better by having him at home getting his work done and not messing with others.
The best feature that comes from online schooling is efficiency. Kids are able to work through much more of a curriculum and retain knowledge much faster through online school than traditional high schooling. This is in part due to the fact that the classes are general smaller or even one on one lessons that are more student based than curriculum based. Online school focuses more on the students than the agenda which feels to be the opposite of public school. This gives kids the power to work at their own pace, which for the kids who learn the material fast and work hard the ability to meet requirements much faster and graduate from high school sometimes a year earlier than their peers.
Students who attend online classes do benefit greaty compared to the kids who dont in a tradtional high school.

55BD1573CCB6,"The summer assignment is a term that middle school and high school students know all too well. Not all students are assigned a project to complete over the summer, but for those that take higher level classes (a decent portion of modern high school students), there is typically some form of work that they must complete through the summer months that relates to the course they will be taking. It has been argued, though, that summer projects are far too strenuous on students, and that, if the students had the power to synthesize their own assignments to complete through June, July, and August, it may warrant less work and a generally easier time for them. However, summer assignments are better off being designed by the teachers themselves, as teachers are experts in the subject(s) they teach, teachers possess a higher level of skills in creating projects and assignments, and an inadequate project put together by students may lead to an undesired grade in the class, as the students would not be nearly as well prepared.
At the core of every class is the teacher; teachers are masters in their field, and are highly trained to answer whatever query or insight is thrown at them in their class. To put it simply, the teacher is the one who knows the material better than anyone in the room. For example, just about every teacher within the United States must obtain a degree in teaching from a four-year university, as well as extended classes in the subject that they would like to teach. Many teachers do not stop at a four-year degree though, and continue their training through a graduate program. Quite a large part of a teacher's time and life in general becomes dedicated to this training. An extensive amount of effort is exerted by these colleges and schools, as well as the teacher, to instill the subject material into the teacher's head. It is the job of the teacher at this point to relay their extensive knowledge of a subject to the students. Many teachers become knowledgeable because of their background as well; a physics teacher may have a father who is an aeronautical engineer working at NASA, or a science teacher may have a mother who is a biologist at a genetic engineering company. Because of what these teachers have been exposed to through a large portion of their life, they have gained a further understanding of the subject they will teach, and have an open attitude to learning more about it. Teachers become experts of their field, and have the knowledge necessary to assemble a project or assignment to be done over the summer that will prepare the students for the class. A student who is assembling a summer project would never possess nearly as much knowledge as a teacher has of expectations or standards of the class.
With this extended schooling comes not only a further knowledge of the teacher's subject, but an attainment of skills in designing projects and creating assignments. As mentioned above, many teachers obtain four-year degrees in preparation for their careers, but often their degree is not in the subject they teach, but in the actual field of teaching itself. These degrees teach the essential skills necessary to educate students, and one of these skills is creating assignments. Teachers spend extensive amounts of time putting together worksheets and project rubrics, pulling material from numerous sources. What better person is there to assemble a summer project, to prepare you for a class, than someone who has undergone extensive training in putting together projects and assignments? It is important to consider, though, not just training, but experience as well. Every school day, students are assigned some form of an assignment or project to complete to further their understanding of the subject, which in turn means that every school day, there is a teacher behind each one of these assignments, creating them for the students. Teachers spend large amounts of time putting together the right assignments for their students, and with this comes a mastery of the skill. Creating projects for students is one of the core tasks a teacher must do every single day, and it would be quite contradicting of a teacher to free the job of creating a summer assignment for students, to the pupils themselves, who may have never even planned a hangout with friends, or a basic schedule of their day.
As previously mentioned, students are obviously not experienced in the skill of creating an assignment. The common sophomore or junior in high school is anywhere from fifteen to seventeen years old, and has likely never faced a situation in which they had to prepare a curriculum or a rubric for someone to complete that pertains to a specific subject. If they were given the task of compiling an assignment of a subject (that they have not learned and are not extensively knowledgeable about), the outcome would not work in favor of the student. Not only would the project likely be of low quality. but the results reaped by the student from the project may set them up for failure in the class. Another important perspective to consider is the work ethic of students, or lack thereof. High school students are not disciplined enough to sit down and put together a school assignment for themselves that, not to mention, will eat into their time away from school during the summer. This would result in a sloppy project and a deficit in the student's future performance in the class.
Every school throughout the United States, and the world in general, should aim to have strictly teacher-designed summer projects. The prospect of student-designed projects could have disastrous outcomes for the students themselves. When comparing a knowledgeable and well-trained teacher's project with an uncoordinated and inexperienced student's project, the answer should be nothing but obvious. For the sake of the student, and for the sake of common sense, no summer assignment or project should ever be student-designed.",,997,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

EDE0E6181F61,"I feel like this would be very useful technology for helping many people in the near future. By having the Facial Action Coding System (FACS) we could tell and understand so much more about the human body that we don't already know about.
The FACS would help us in learning about how exactly how someone is feeling about something or someone. Say, if they could exactly explain how they are feeling we could use the FACS to figure out their emotions. We could also use it in classroom as paragraph 6 says. ""A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored. Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor."" We would finally have the technology to help people who don't understand or are to shy to ask how to do something in the class. The computer would recognize that facial action and go more in depth to help the people who don't understand. Yes, it would make people lose their jobs and bore the other students who already understand the topic but we're still in the beginning faze of the FACS. By using the system we would become way more advanced and learn how to fix these problems. It just takes time to go over and fix. Imagine if we didn't have facial expressions. We wouldn't understand each other and the world would be bland but we do in face have facial expressions and we use them. We've grown adapted to having such a skill but some people don't know how to tell or just can't tell very well. We now put it into technology to help those people and ourselves!

I think that you should let the students bring their cell phones to school and let them use them during lunch and other free time. And then if they don't turn them off during class or if they get caught texting or playing games with their phones they should get them taken away. If they get there phones taken away they should get them after class. If they get it taken away again they should have to get them after school. Then if they get taken a third time their parents should have to come and get them.
I think if you let them bring their phones to school they would be much happier. Because if you don't they would probably find something more loud and annoying to do. I believe that if do this it would save allot of frustration and complaints from students and teachers.
I think that most students would be reasonable enofe to agree with these terms. Because it is better to have them for some of the time then none of the time.

I think that you should change the grade average to a B average for students to play spots is because many of the students averages are a C average.

If you keep the average the same then students wont try as hard because they know that it doesn't have to be that high of a grade.
I also think that if you change the average some students may not attend sports because they may not feel like they can do it, make a B or better, But it also could give them more self confidence that they can make a better grade.

40FDE82C864D,"To the principle,
I believe that a B average requirement to participate in sports or other extra curricular activities is not a good idea. I know from personal experience that sometimes a student is unable to do better in a certain class or two. Sometimes a student turns in all of their work, tries their hardest, and pays attention during instruction and a lesson the teacher is teaching. But, even when a student is doing this, they are not able to get a higher grade than a C.
Many people have certain ailments that are not helpful when it comes to learning. For example, some students are dyslexic and some students have learning disorders. Of course, not everyone has a disorder that hinders them when they try to learn.
Often, it is unfair to blame the student with the low grade when there are other students in the class that constantly disrupt and bother and cause problems. Isn't it strange that students do all of their homework and it turns out as an A+ but, when they do their school work and finish it in class, it ends up being a low grade? Hasn't anyone suspected that it could just be the fact that they pay attention and do the work given to them but they can't achieve a higher grade because they are incapable of ignoring the annoying troublemakers surrounding them?
I do agree that with some students earning F's and D's it's because they do not complete their work and do not try to pay attention. For some of them, this is because they are being influenced by peers in a wrong fashion. Other times it's because they don't want to listen, don't want to learn, and don't want to get a good job in the future because they don't care about anything beyond ""I want to be like my friends and everyone else."" Sometimes, yes, I would have to agree that straight D and F students should not participate in extra curricular activities.
No, I would have to say, over all, that I don't think it is wise to force students who are not failing and keeping an ok grade to keep away from activities that they feel happy doing. Just because everyone wants higher school grades doesn't mean you have to inflict judgement on people you don't even know. ""You can try harder"", ""You can do a lot better than a lousy C,"" How do you know? How do you know if these students can do a whole lot better? Do you know each and every one of them?

80D1357B10A0,"Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing. While some people benefit from staying home, others may prefer the school atmosphere. Either way, it's mostly about personal preference and if it helps in the long run. There shouldn't be a reason to be forced to do one thing or another so having a choice is good. Therefore, students would benefit from taking classes at home because it runs through their schedule and it makes task a little easier.
One thing that is a problem for students nowadays are their schedules. Students have other task other than schools like having a job. Students the older they get, start applying to get hired so they can have money for personal reasons. Sometimes, they might get unreasonable hours and since they have school, it could possibly backfire. A lot of teens may work up to late at night which takes a toll on their sleep and school work. It could even be a point that the student can't do any school work at all and might fall behind. However, if that student took classes online, its a possibility their jobs wont get in the way of their studies. If they could organize the schedule that could benefit his school work and job at the same time, it would help in a big way.

Another example could be taking care of siblings. Lets just say their mom has to work late so that student has to take care of their bother and sister. The student can't be at school and at home at the same time. There would be no way around that its one or the other. Because there would be nobody who can take care of the kids. Some people could say to just drop them off at a daycare but some people might not have that type of money to spend. Others might say that they could hire a babysitter but that might not work either. In this situation, school seems to be affecting him in a huge way. If he managed his schedule accordingly, he'll have time to take care of the kids and focus on school at home at the same time. Which would mean less stress in total because he'll have time for both kids and schoolwork.
There's people who have different ideas about this topic. They believe that students who take online classes would not benefit at all because the student isn't getting that ""hands on learning experience"". However, thats not the case with this topic. Some students don't have to learn hands on. There's different types of students in the world that prefer other ways of learning. Since the critics probably learned it that way, they believe everybody else should learn it too and its completely wrong. Thats not how students should benefit. Its all about what makes them comfortable to the point that they can do their work as smooth and as quickly as possible without any problem or confusion.
In conclusion, students who feel like the school environment isn't for them, should just take online classes. There should be no reason to put that much stress on a student when they have daily lives like other people. There's more to life than just school and people don't understand that. The toll it can take on somebody is ridiculous. It's already hard enough in school and plus doing other task outside of class is very stressful. Even though students have a choice to take online classes, it's not talked about often. In total, the ratio of kids going to school except for staying home is huge. Its honestly not that common. However, if its anyway it could be discussed with the school board, it might affect how students are today in general. With all the time the students have on their hands, it's would be way more manageable then ever before. Some people in this world are would probably never understand that issue. They need to do an experiment on which students are more successful. With the results of that experiment, they could take what they got form the experiment and change how students are in the future.",,726,Distance learning,Independent,Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing.

BAC9D8631137,"Have you ever wanted to learn to take photos? maybe get a taste of managing a community? How about building a hovercraft with wood and shower curtains? Well then you should sign up for a club! extracurricular activities or clubs are programs sponsored by a set of teachers that allow students to experiment and try new things and experiences that you can't normally take a class for. I believe that participating in an extracurricular activity should be mandatory for all students.
First of all, you can get insight on what you might want your career to be. For example, taking a class on CPR, basic first aid, or how to respond to an emergency might make you realize that you want to be a nurse or doctor. In the club I've taken, its a computer support club. It's shown me that in the future I want a position that involves a team, a place where I can take charge, and can fix technology problems. This shows that clubs might help narrow down job choices, with more specific subjects that broad classes can't really hit home with.
Furthermore, it could help you learn about a class that you just couldn't take because of a full schedule. An example of this is me actually. I'm interested in learning photography, but next year i'm taking Spanish and band and as such, I have to pass up on photography. However, if the school had a photography club next year, I could sign up and get a foundation on developing my hobby of photography so I could learn on my own time! this shows that clubs are the perfect opportunity to have fun with the classes that you missed out on for more important things like languages or band. This shows that clubs are perfect to help students who's schedule is just too packed for the average student
Building off of that, Clubs could teach important life skills. A few good examples are serving on the student council could teach you how to be an active member in your community, which is an amazing skill to have. Cooking club teaches you how to cook, which is literally a vital skill needed to live. Technology clubs can help you fix your own problems in a world where technology is becoming more and more important and more jobs are opening up to fix said technology. This shows that clubs not only are for fun, but they can help you live a better life overall.
Ultimately, clubs can help you pinpoint your career in life, get a taste of that one class you never got to take, and even provide you with skills needed to live in the real world. if you want to get more involved in your clubs, then you can always sign up for one, or think about sponsoring a club of your own to kick start the process and provide other with the tools for success.

I heard that you were deciding whether to require all students to perform community service.
Everyone has their different opinion on community service. Some people think that community service is very important, while others feel that it takes up too much of their time, based on what I have heard from my friends.
My suggestion is that I feel as if community service should be a requirement. Although some students find it a waste of time, it would be good to have everybody helping out their community. I feel that if the students are required to do community service, they might end up enjoying it and changing their views on it. Chances are they might end up feeling good about themselves after doing a good deed for their community. Plus, there are many different ways to serve community service. I think that the students that feel as if its a waste of time might find something they can do to help out their community and enjoy at the same time.
I think it would be great to have everybody helping out with their community and making it a better place.
Please take some time to think over my suggestion.

The idea of enforcing community service on all students is a good idea. I believe that it is a good idea because everyone should be taking a part in making the world a better place.

The decision weather to enforce all student to do community service is a fabulous idea. Many of the student at our school already do community service, but by enforcing this is will push us kids to get involved. Not only will this benefit the student's it will benefit the people in town.
It is not like your asking to go out and do community service for ever. You are just asking student to get out and help out, which might be as simple as picking up garbage on the side of the highway, or volunteering at a nursing home.

2158A5D15F84,"On May 24, 2001, about 25 years ago the NASA's viking spacecraft was circling the planet. It then spotted a human like face. It was huge! It was nearly two miles long. It looked like it had been staring back at the camera from where this picture had been taken.
The face is clearly a natural landform. When Mars Global flew over Cydonia for the first time, Michael Malin snapped a picture ten times sharper than the first photo. When this picture was taken it was a very cloudy day. This means that the camera had to peer through all the clouds to get this good of a picture. But skeptics say that the aliens images were hidden by the haze. That cannot be true becasue if the aliens were hidden we would not have such a great picture of the faces. That completly shows that there is proof that this face is just a natural landform.
This is a great natural landform and it is very questionable at first, if this could really just be a natural landform. But knowing that the NASA has went out more than one time and taken pictures of this face really does show that it is not aliens. Not only have we taken pictures but we have proof.

551EABF9838C,"Driverless cars are the wave of the future. Some people may be skeptical of this futuristic idea, and it may seem abstract to some minds, but we need to put away our fears of change and embrace the innovation and technology that is continuing to drive us through the 21st century. We will be seeing driverless cars in the very near future and it's important to hop on the bandwagon in order to help progress our generation. The devlopment of driverless cars is important for the convenience of everyday life, progession of technology, and increased safety while driving.
Driverless cars will bring so much ease and convenience. No longer will we have to worry about finishing work and having to eat a quick breakfast while driving, or having to manage children in a car while simultaneously paying attention to the road. ""Further improvements in sensors and computer hardware and software to make driving safer are also leading to cars that can handle more and more driving tasks on their own."" The advantage of not having to constantly be paying attention to the road could significantly help the driver by allowing them to focus more on what's going on in the car, and less on what's going on around it. While some people may be less afraid of their own car driving than potential mishaps of cars around them, smarter cars also have functions that ""quickly get the driver's attention whenever a problem occurs."" This would allow people to go about their business, but help us to be aware of what's going on around us when it's necessary, overall making driving more efficient and convenient.
Another positive aspect of autonomous cars is the overall progression of technology. ""In the 1980's, automakers used speed sensors at the wheels in the creation of antilock brakes"" and not too long before that cars themselves were developed. With the current rate of innovation and invention and cars being able to ""steer, accelerate, and brake themselves"" already, there's no doubt that eventually we will have cars able to drive 100 percent by themselves. These types of groundbreaking ideas coming to reality, pave the way for other such inventions and tehcnology to surface. There is no reason to stop the development of driverless cars because it would only be slowing the development of the human race.
Humans are an easily distractable species and the emergence of smarter cars would not only be more convenient and groundbreaking, but also ensure more safety of drivers while on the road. Sensors are what make driverless cars able to drive on their own, and they ""allow far better response and control than a human driver could manage alone."" This is a huge advantage to our safety because a quick glance away from the road could mean missing something fatal and sensors are able to alert you the second something goes awry. This is done by use of ""heads-up displays"" and ""such displays can be turned off instantly when the driver needs to take over-something not available to drivers trying to text with a cell phone."" Cell phones and more importantly texting while driving is one of the main causes of deaths while driving and to allow people to be occupied while driving could mean the difference between life and death. The displays shown when something is wrong on the road also ensure nothing is being missed by the eyes of a driver. All in all safety of passengers is the largest issue car manufacturers deal with when designing a car, whether people drive it or it's driving itself, and the responsibilty that these driverless cars are able to take on is monumental, and we should continue to let it grow to further ensure the safety of people everwhere.
As I see it, the positives of the devlopment of driverless cars much outweigh the negatives. They bring convenience, technology, and safety into a world that thrives on all of those things. We don't want to sit back and stop history from happening, but be the ones who help to drive it forward. Driverless cars are the thing of the future and embracing their devlopment will only better our lives.",,693,Driverless cars,Text dependent,"In the article “Driverless Cars are Coming,” the author presents both positive and negative aspects of driverless cars.

3CE85742FADE,"In the passage ""Unmasking the Face on Mars"" the Face was not created by aliens, it is just a natural landform. For one, the Face resembles land forms on Earth. Two, NASA is a professional agency, why would they not tell the truth. Three, the images themself prove that the Face is just a natural landform.
The Face resembles landforms on Earth. In the passage it says ""What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesalandforms common around the American West. It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho, says Garvin. Thats a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars.' Some critics may argue that the landform is not like the others; however, it is similar to the land forms on Earth. Plus, there are tons of land forms on Mars, so why would this one be any different.
NASA is a professional agency, why would they lie. In the passage it says ""Some people think the Face is bona fide evidence of life on Marsevidence that NASA would rather hide, say conspiracy theorists. Meanwhile, defenders of the NASA budget wish there was an ancient civilization on Mars."" Therefore, why would NASA keep that information from the people when it would actually benefit them. If NASA says that the Face is just a land form and only looks like a face because of the shadows, then it obviously is.
Besides, the images are proof that it is nothing more than a natural landform. After all, seeing is believing. The images progressively get better and better. Some people may argue that the when they took the picture in ""April 98a cloudy time of year on the Red Planet. The camera on board MGS had to peer through wispy clouds to see the Face. Perhaps, said skeptics, alien markings were hidden by haze."" But that cant be true since NASA eventually went out and took an even better picture in 2001, proving that the Face is nothing more than a natural landform.
In conclusion, in the article ""Unmasking the Face on Mars"" the Face was just a natural landform, it was not created by aliens. The Face resembled land forms on Earth. NASA is a government agency and would not lie about it, since it would overall benefit them. Last but not least, the images are enough proof that it is nothing more than a land form.

B87E8822B2D2,"Cell phone use should not be legal while driving, it causes many accidents even fatalities. Drivers become careless while driving when using cell phones. Cell phones cause distractions while on the road. Drivers do not pay attention to the road, which causes accidents to happen. The most prevalent distractions are texting and talking on a cell phone while driving. Cell Phone use should not be legal while driving because it will help prevent more accidents and also prevent more deaths. People become distracted while driving when they use cell phones.
Drivers are too busy talking on cell phones to pay attention to the road. Even the act of just dialing a cell phone can be dangerous. This increases the crash risk by 3 times. This is one of the worst distractions drivers can have, Due to the fact that you are not paying attention to the road. The driver's hands are not on the steering wheel which causes you to lose control of your car. This increases the accident risk highly. This is only one reason why cell phone use while driving should be illegal.
The next reason cell phone use should be illegal while driving is due to texting. This causes the same problems as just dialing a cell phone. Drivers are too busy focused on their screen to pay attention to the road. They are also too busy thinking about their responses and what to say to pay attention to other drivers on the road. Since it usually takes two hands to text, the drivers have no hands on the steering wheel. This distraction causes the most fatalities. This is according to a sign over I-355, which states, ""857 traffic accidents caused last year due to texting. This is just another reason cell phone use while driving should be illegal. Drivers however, underestimate their risks of getting into an accident while using their cell phone on the road. Companies also have this break with reality. They promote things like hand free devices, even though those have been shown not to eliminate the risk of getting into an accident. ""Device makers and auto companies acknowledge the risks of multitasking behind the wheel, but they aggressively develop and market gadgets that cause distractions.
They acknowledge these things happen but they still market things that will cause distractions and increase accident risk. Cell Phone use should be illegal while driving. The worst are texting and talking on the cellphone while driving. Both inhibit driver awareness and increase the risk of getting into an accident.

756D1A1C92B8,"Today we as humans live in a society that is controlled by the advancement of technology and as certain things become easier to access, we seem to get distracted by the objects we have at our disposal. Problems in our society become self-evident as statistics show the accidents that happen due to our carelessness. The purpose of this essay is to show the reader as to why cell phones should be prohibited to be in use while conducting a motor vehicle; therefore, I will state and point out facts, statistics, and different sources to support my claim.
The first argument in my essay is the amount of damage that occurs during conducting a vehicle and using a cell phone at the same time. Throughout many years, the toll taken on by drivers has increased greatly. New statistics show up every day as to why accident are occurring on the road. This leaves an increase in death rates as motor accidents can result in injury and death. Laws have been set in place to prevent these accidents; although, there is a change in the rate of accidents, people still decide to use cell phones. A change must occur in order to lower the rates of accidents caused by cell phone use. This could be the most known and dangerous reason as to why cell phones are a harmful distraction during driving.
Although using a cell phone is harmful to a person while driving, sometimes in the case of an emergency, one must use their cell phone in order to receive calls. And to improve the chance of proper navigation through roads, navigation systems allow for easier access to reach certain locations when driving. There are many reasons as to why cell phones could be useful; however, they are greatly outnumbered by the cons. Even if it's to receive a call or text, the problem is not the cell phone itself but ones conscience to obscure their focus from the road. As this is the reason as to why accidents happen in the first place. And as much as we want to reduce these accidents, we must take a priority on to our driving by ourselves setting a restriction as to when we can use our phones while driving.
In addition to my statements, although cell phone use can benefit the driver, we must still restrict any type of use until we can lower the rates of death and accidents connected to each other. As this is the only way we can fully change the situation we are in right now. More strict laws should be placed in order to combat these dilemmas. However, this will not be an immediate change in our society as some will rebel against the new laws that should be placed to be stricter, but it is a step in the right direction and a good continuation in change the social standard of using cell phones while driving. And soon in time, we will see a change in our society all together.
In conclusion, my stance in the argument on cell phone use while drives stands where I have shown in this essay. I hope you can agree with me as to why I believe in the change this will bring to our society and change the rates in accidents making our cities, town, and roads safer for everyone. This changes is a great feat that we can achieve as long as everyone is on the same page. Together we can relieve our worries of driving with care-free people driving beside us. We make our roads safer for everyone. The facts that I have stated in this essay are self-evident and require support from everyone in order to change our stands on cell phone use while driving.

93AE46205ED2,"To the principal of this school,
I feel that policy 2, which states that students are allowed to bring phones to school and use them during lunch periods and other free time, as long as the phones are turned off during class time should we chosen.
My reasoning behind this is that there is no harm if the students have their cell phones out as long as it isn't in class. When the students are in class they are learning, but when they are outside of class, they aren't and they don't have work they need to focus on and complete.
I feel that if students have phones out during lunch and breaks, nothing would change. The only difference you would see is the student having their phones in the hall ways and outside. The students would still be doing their work in class the way they always do because phones are still not allowed in class.
Most students today have phones and feel that they shouldn't be banned at school, I personally feel that they should only be banned during class. Here at school we are told to keep our phones in our locker but most of us don't, including me. I don't go on my phone during class but when I'm not in class, I know that I would like to be on my phone since there is nothing to do.
This is only my opinion but I feel that many others would also agree with me. Please take the writing above into consideration.

2579DC590809,"Dear Principal,
Policy 2 seems to me like the best idea. Policy 2 allows students to learn. Students do not yet know the value of their education so it would be wise to not allow phones at all.
Policy 1 doesn't sound like a good idea. If you allow students to have their phones at certain times in the day, then most students will just use their phone discreetly throughout the day. Some students might have a different lunch time than other students and will try to text someone that is in class. Well I can hear you trying to say that students will have their phones turned off, now how many students would actually do that?
Policy 2 keeps the phones away from most students. I'm sure you will have a couple students that don't follow this policy, but that is what discipline is for. Cell phones are a big problem at school. Students want to socialize more than they want to learn. Now cell phones are becoming an even bigger problem. This new revolution is called internet and gaming phones. Now students can get cellular devices that have games on them. What is more distracting than a nice, fun flash game in the middle of a seemingly never-ending, boring class?
The internet is another big problem because if students have their phones during a test then they can look up the answer to a question on the internet. Sure you can set up a WEP key for the WiFi, but kids can still get internet through 3G or 4G coverage. Some phones do not even need the internet to get answers to questions, they just have apps for it. This could turn into a giant problem because finals would no longer be about what you learned, but more about how fast you could look it up on your phone. You cant have that kind of cheating on SATs or other important tests.
I think a no phone policy would be ideal for the school. Not just because it would keep students from getting too distracted, but also because it would keep students from cheating on important tests. The look of the school to parents and government officials is key so you don't want students walking around texting all day. You have to keep up your test scores and phones would not help that. Overall Policy 2 sounds like the most solid and smartest plan.

C6C21C855774,"Most students would love to stay at home instead of going to school to complete their schoolwork. However, having to do work for school at home can turn into a disaster easily if a student gets lazy. Even though some say that students would benefit from being able to attend classes from home because it gives them more flexibility, students would not benefit from distance learning because they would be less socially active and aware, have undeveloped time-management skills, and find it hard to motivate themselves to get their work done while being home alone.
First, students will most likely be less socially active and aware. If they do not go to school every day, a very likely circumstance is that they will not see their friends every day either. Not seeing and interacting with their friends could make them depressed or even feel left out if they happen to be the only one not at school. Next, students who are doing online school do not experience and learn to handle all types of people. In comparison, every day at school students have new experiences with different people that students participating in distance learning would not have. These experiences build character and social skills needed for life. Also, students never learn how to control their own bad habits for the sake of being polite to other people if they sit at home by themselves all day. In conclusion, if distance learning is accepted, students will become more antisocial and socially awkward.
Next, students attending regular school have chances all day to practice time-management skills, unlike students who participate in online school. Students who are in distance learning have all day to complete their work. If no activities or scheduled meetings exist, the need to manage work disappears. Also, no end-of-class deadlines exist, which means that students in online school never learn how to finish an assignment in a limited amount of time in a classroom full of other students. Failing to practice completing work with a time limit in an environment that could have distractions would not set students up to succeed in college. Lastly, students who go to online school never have to go in early before class to talk to a teacher about work they do not understand. Since this activity might be needed in college, smart students are practicing it now. Unfortunately, distance learning students do not get a chance to practice this habit due to never being at school. By not practicing going to school early, they will never know how to get their work done early the night before in order to wake up early while still maintaining the right amount of sleep. In conclusion, attending online school would not fulfill a student's need to practice their time-management skills.
Lastly, it would be hard to gather enough motivation to get all the work done as an online school student. Although they have all day, procrastination might arise and keep them from starting their work until that night, even though they had been doing nothing the whole day. All procrastination does is grow and spiral, so a student might even push back their work by days because they feel like they have plenty of time. If they went to school, they would have assignments due the next day and a teacher to answer to if the work did not get completed. Also, online school lacks a teacher sitting right in front of them and instructing them on what to do and when to do it. Everyone feels more motivated when an adult is telling them what they need to do by a certain date. Moreover, if the online teacher said the work was optional, the online students might not have a reason to complete the work. They might feel like because they never see the teacher, the teacher would not ask them about the assignment. This occurrence will eventually start to hurt the students because they will end up with less practice and might not do as well on the assessment. In conclusion, staying at home all day instead of going to school makes it very hard to find motivation and avoid procrastination and excuses.
In conclusion, online school will end up hurting students because they will not be as social, not have as many chances to practice their time-management skills, and have trouble motivating themselves to accomplish their work. If students decided to go to online school, they would all be bored and unmotivated. To stop this change from occurring, encourage students to physically go to school and tell them how much fun it will be to be around friends all day.",,772,Distance learning,Independent,Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing.

E8E27F3D811B,"Dear Principal,
Community service is a very helpful thing towards the community, if its cleaning up after a high school game or planting a tree it will all have a positive outcome. I think it would be a good idea to have us do community service because there are a lot of things that need help being done and there are so many kids at school. If they all work together they could easily clean up a school step by step. Some children fail to see the opportunity that you are faced with and do not recognize that they could take ten minutes from their day for a good cause. I see why you are struggling with this decision, some kids might act up and also write letters to you about why we should not have to do anything. Others want to help the town, and show that they care. I personally would love to help you out.
I do not do community service a lot and only have once during school one year, but I understand that some things need done from time to time. During school my teacher had us go out to the high school football stadium and clean up after the past nights game. We went through the stands and picked everything up and placed it in plastic bags to dispose of. The trash was everywhere and it seems it was going to take years. Then after that we picked litter up near the school and in brush. I found it amazing how fast we finished the huge task because of the amount of people participating. I believe that if everyone from the school helped, they would finish rather quickly.
Sincerely,

FF31066811BF,"Phones and Driving
Using your phone while driving, everyone knows it's illegal to do this. Using your phone while driving is dangerous thing to do because your looking at the road. You can't see where you're going or what's in front of you. This doesn't stop people from being on their phones though. In some cases though being on your phone for an emergency can help you be aware of where you need to be at that time.
Being on your phone posses a lot of danger for you and everyone around you. One person alone can cause a car rekt if they're on their phone. Because of this laws are put in place, but sometimes people will ignore those laws and be on their phone anyway. Causing a car crash or themselves panic a bit and speed up and nearly hit the car in front of them. Pretty much when you're driving, don't be on your phone because if you hear a car rev their engine you might think that the traffic is finally moving and hit the car in front of you because you were on your phone not paying attention.
You should have very low phone usage since you're driving. If someone calls you while you're driving and it's a emergency, you shouldn't stay on the phone for long. Staying on the phone will cause you to focus more on the phone, without you being careful like you normally would when you're driving, because you're trying to get somewhere fast since it's an emergency.
Instead of being careless of others around you, take your time when trying to get to that emergency, be mindful of what you're doing. You should never be on your phone and drive even if it's an emergency because you're caring about the other people around you, you just care to get to that emergency fast.
In some cases though being on your phone can be 'helpful' in a way. Let's say you're on your phone and you get a text, you're going to look at the text regardless even if you're driving. When looking at the text, make sure you've stop stopped somewhere to look at it or in this case when you're driving, look to see if any cars are around you. Obviously texting while driving is the worst thing you can do. So when you're going to text while you drive make sure you look to see how many cars are around, stay mindful of your surroundings, and if possible try to find a spot and stop so can see the text without endangering anyone else because you're not looking at the road.
In conclusion to being your phone when driving. You shouldn't do it even if it's an emergency or you just want to check your social media feed. You put yourself and everyone around you in danger because you're paying attention. If you decide to go on your phone though make sure you're stopped or at least almost no one is around you. Pretty much just stay off your phone when driving to keep yourself and others safe. ",,523,Phones and driving,Independent,"Today the majority of humans own and operate cell phones on a daily basis.

9E3359EBC812,"Long distance learning: An option that some schools offer, as an alternative to an in school classsroom environment. While most would think having an in school education is more benifital, having a schooling option that you can take at your own pase and in a comfortable evironment is more benefitial to a student. At home schoooling provides many comodities that an on campus school would not, allowing a student to have a better, more well rounded education.
While being on campus with a teacher for schooling can help with in person learning, most students will not get the one-on-one support needed to fully understand the curiculum. This is when distant, or online, schooling becomes helpful. Student have the oportunity to get the help they need for their teacher, without having the interuptions of a classroom environment, that can distract teachers and students. Most teachers do not have time to individual explain the lession to each student, so distance learning is an chance for a student to expirence this.
In schoool learing allows students to have structured time where they, each day, have certin time devoted to certian classses. While this may help students who need to have time planned out for each class to work, this does not benefit students who are struggling in one more than another. For example, a student might not struggle in english, but they do in math. And with the structured times of classes a student might not fully understand the lesson in a class period, causing them to struggle. But with online learing, classes can be taken at the students pase. So, if a student is struggling in math and not english, they can devote more of their time on a math lesson. They can even extend it if needed.
Learning inside a classroom means that the teacher is teaching on average about 28 students a class period. This mean that a teacher in not able to cater to each students individual learining style. But with an online classroom/ school setting students can have the oportunity to be taught in ther individual learning style. This may be through visual, audio, or textile learning. All of these can be used as an individual learnign styles in a one-on-one setting in an online environment. For examplpe, if a student is in a classroom and the majority of the students learn through visual examples, that is what the teacher will use. But the minority of the class may learn through texitle, meaning that they are not getting the full support and comprehension of what they are learing. But in an online stetting, the full lesson would be based around a students individual learing style so that they can get the most comprehension out of each leassion and gain the most of their educationl expirence.
The question of if students could benefit from online schooling is a simple one to answer. With online schooling, student have the opportunity to learn at their own pase and with their own learning style. Unlike in a class room on campus environment where studend learn in a group setting, all at one pase, and with one learning style. With learning online students can get personal and individualized education that can benifit them further in life. Students who do distant learing, whether that be online oor by video conferencing, have a more benificial education there their peers who have an on campus, in school education.

EA23D3F94AFF,"There are several different benefits of limiting car usage. Diesel fuel from cars tend to polute the air, so the less people use cars the less air pollution there will be. People will walk more than they did before with the limitations of car usage. The roads will also have less ""congestion"" or car traffic. These benefits are very helpful in many ways as to why car usage should be cut back for a while.
Over the years, air pollution has become a big problem everywhere. It basically poisons us with the air we breathe. When you have restrictions or limitations on car usage, it will help a lot because the less toxis chemicals you have in the air, the healthier it is for everybody, and the more safer the environment is.
Another benefit of limiting the car usage is people will walk more than they ever had before. For example, you usually don't walk unless you really have to, like when you're going shopping, walking a dog, or walking in school. But when you have a car and you're trying to get to a destination that's walking distance, you'll tend to get lazy and just drive that short amount of distance instead. We as humans don't walk until we actually HAVE to. Other examples as in, going to the grocery store to pick up a few things, walking the dog, mowing the lawn, etc. So the limitation on cars will help SO much more because it will actually MAKE people walk.
When you live in over-populated areas, congestion happens a lot. Congestion in this situation means car traffic. Congestion is very time consuming sometimes because the more traffic there is, the less time you have to complete a task you were planning on doing. Less cars on the road is a very good benefit to limitating car usage, a benefit to time, and a benefit to people on every level.
These are some of the benefits of limiting car usage. The air we breathe will be less polluted by a LOT, people will excersize and walk more, and there will be less congestion (car traffic), which will save more time. These benefits will help everyone in many different ways. ",,370,Car-free cities,Text dependent,Write an explanatory essay to inform fellow citizens about the advantages of limiting car usage.

The face on the red planet ""Cydonia"" changed over time. If there was life on Cydonia the face wouldnt have changed like it did. In 1976 it looked like a shadow face. 1998 it had a white tent to it. 2001 it had racks like a rock. The face would had stayed the same if there was living life on it.

The method of which the leader of this country are selected by the people is by popular vote. Therefore, the best way, the right way of selecting the president and vice president are by popular vote.
Starting of with that the electoral college is unfair. The electors might know more about this country and they think they know what is the best for these United states but they do not. The peoplr know best, the people knows what is actually going on. Just as Bradford Plummer stated in his article""the best arguments in favor of it are mostly assertions without much basis in reality""(source 14).

These elector dont know about all the small things that thousands of people are suffering from.
People want to have say in their country. If the method of choosing the president was strictly by popular college the people would feel as if the country is not theirs and if they are being controlled. The people who live in the country need to agree because if not then kaos would start to happen. People would protest and this country would fall apart bit by bit. Richard A. Posner said ""to feel that their votes do not count, that the new president will have no regard for their interest, that he really isn't their president""(source 19).

students, indeed yes need their education and they need to learn, that is why if a teacher just hands them a project and say here you have to have this complete before you come back after summer break. that will knock the interest level down a lot for students. when its summer break i love to go off and have fun with my friends and family, we always are out doing something weather it be hanging around the house or off on a trip somewhere, other students dont do this and it is honestly really cool, last summer my girlfriend and i went down to nags head with her family, i had the most fun time while we were down there, even though i accidentally left my wallet at her house.
Students learn best when they are on their own and/or out doing something, the teachers already know what to do about a teacher designed project and that i do believe is why some students dont get along with the teacher. Teachers want to help kids and kids that have troubles listening or learning, i'm not saying that teachers dont listen because you have some of them that do, but, unfortunately teachers dont interact with students as they should so a student designed project would make it a lot more entertaining and interesting for the teacher because it allows the teacher to sit back and read about who that kid is, what that kid likes, and how that kid acts, it shows a lot of that and it is really helpful for the teacher to actually understand the student that is doing the project and know how his or her lifestyle is, i agree, students should come up with a student designed project over the summer.",,374,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

551064A99CC3,"Twenty five years ago something funny happened around Mars.
NASAs Viking 1 spacecraft was circling the planet, snapping photos of possible landing sites for its sister ship Viking 2, when it spotted the shadowy likeness of a human face.
They call it ""The Face.""
The Face is very interesting.
Many people could have different opinions about how the Face could have gotten on Mars or how it was made.
Your opinion could be that either aliens created the Face or it is just a natural landform, but you would need to have reasons to back up why you believe so.
Aliens have been believed to be real, but others do not think so.
There is no real proof yet, but many scientists and other people are still trying to find clues and details about aliens on other planets.
This leads some to believe that if aliens are real, that they could have created the Face.
How could aliens create something as complex and interesting as the Face?
Aliens could not be that smart.
To think about it being a natural landform, it is pretty complex, but it may just be the way that we are looking at it and are seeing it.
The way we see the Face all depends on the way you are looking at it.
Scientists have named it ""The Face"" because that is what it looks like, but maybe if someone else looks at it, they would not even see ""The Face"" at all.
They may see something completely different.
If you think that aliens created ""The Face"" first see if there is anything else that aliens may have been thought to create or where they came from.
If there is no proof to aliens, then how could they have created something?
And so on April 5, 1998, when Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia for the first time, Michael Malin and his Mars Orbiter Camera team snapped a picture ten times sharper than the original Viking photos. Thousands of anxious web surfers were waiting when the image first appeared on a JPL web site, revealing ... a natural landform. There was no alien monument after all.
What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesalandforms common around the American West.
It almost reminds scientists of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho.
Thats a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars.

CEF0C5CAF87F,"Many people thought that the face on Mars was created by aliens. I do not agree with that statement because there is no evidence supporting that theory. However, there is evidence supporting that the face is merely a landform that was created naturally. Throughout the article, it shares ideas from NASA, which is the foundation that discovered the face on Mars in the first place.
The first statement that the article makes about the face being a natural landform is, ""New high-resolution images and 3D alimetry from NASA's Mars Global Survey spacecraft reveal the Face on Mars for what it really is: A mesa."" This one statement shows that NASA, one of the biggest names in space industry, believes the face is only a mesa. The people back in the Jet Propulsion Lab must have been surprised to see such a startling sight, but luckily NASA provides more information to show that the face is only a simple landform.
The text provides a caption from the message unveiled by NASA. The caption states, ""huge rock formation... which resembles a human head... formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth."" This exact caption says the exact proof that the face is clearly just a rock formation. Every person should already know how shadows can, well, cast shadows that may give illusions of other objects.
Some people that believe in aliens may say that it would be crazy to think that a rock formation and shadows could form the illusion of a face, but I've seen shadows that are casted when the sun hits them just right. Isn't it completely logical that the sun could hit the shadows to fill the holes in the rocks? I sure believe so.
The last quote I would like to give as my evidence is, ""As a rule of thumb, you can discern things in a digital image 3 times bigger than the pixel size, so if there were objects in this picture like airplanes on the ground or Egyptian-style pyramids or even small shacks, you couold see what they were!"" This single statement shows that the cameras they were using to the maximum resolution, would in fact show if there was actually an alien artifact on the planet. But the strongest possible photo showed no ancient alien artifacts. It only showed a natural rock formation with shadows that formed what appeared to be a face.

I think the principle should not allow students to have phones at school at all. I think that is a better decision then allowing students to bring phones to school and use them during lunch periods and other free times. I think that because that may affect the students learning and education. For an example a students was texting another student of something that happened in a different school.
Then she told her what happened, but she didn't tell her everything because the student has to go to class now.
Today was a really important lesson, but the student didn't pay attention at all because she wanted to know what happened next and she was wandering and dreaming.
She didn't pay attention at all and when she took a test the test had some questions that had to do with that lesson, but guess what she failed. The other student was in class when she was texting. She didn't pay attention because she was busy texting and also that affected the other students learning and education and she also failed the test because they also had a really important lesson that they needed to know.

741FFFDDE817,"Todays society uses automotive vehicles almoat everyday. When they go to work, to go to school, to go shopping, for fun, or anywhere they wanna go. Smog has been building up from the cars pollution for a very long time. Using Vehicles less will decrease smog, improve people's health, an will be better for the earth. Using automotive transportaton less will help everyone an everything in the whole world from humans to the air we breath, from animals to the grass they eat.
However, using vehicles less will decrease the smog amount all around the world. Smog affects everything so decreasing it will help everyone an everything out greatly. Banning cars for a day or bannins odd-numbered plates for just one day would help out tremendously. In France they have banned odd-numbered an even-numbered plate numbers for one day each on different days. "" The smog cleared enough Monday for the ruling French party to rescing the ban for odd-numbered platwa on tuesday."" So even banning vehicles one day can have a huge impact on decrasing smog. An it also clears up congestion on the roads.
However, by using automotive transprtation less it will improve people's health. Walking, skatboarding, riding bicylces, or running will all imrove your health. If you had to go somewhere you could walk there an it would imrove your cardio. If you do this in a large city for one day a great majority of people would participate. ""In Colombia, a program took plase an millions of Columbians hiked, biked, skated or took buses to work."" That would greatly take a impact on the smog ratio. And all of those millions of people who participated got plenty of excersize for the day to improve their health.
So, by using automotive vehicles less it would tremendously help the entire Earth. Smog affects pretty much everything. The air that all the humans and animals breath in is polluted. The air is polluted so it affects the grass an vegetables that animals an humans consume for energy. It affects the trees that give off fresh oxygen so we can continue to breath. ""It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution."" Not driving would take away traffic jams therefore, people would not stress as much an also traffic jams cause a gigantic amount of air pollution so not driving would greatly help the entire Earth that we live on.
In conclusion, using automotive transportsation less would greatly help reduce smog build up, improve everyone's health, and it would tremendously help the Earth. It would lower air pollution so that the air we breath in would not be harmful to us. Even if we just banned cars for one day the whole Earth would be a lot cleaner.

F2D6B8E26072,"In my opinion, driverless cars are going to be a positive thing for people. The driverless cars have been improving throughout the years,they will be more safe, and they will make us more alert when driving.
Driverles cars have been on the road to progress for a number of years. They have been upgraded to figure out what does and doesn't work. For example, in the text it says, "" For example, in the late 1950's, General Motors created a concept car that could run on a special test track. The track was embedded with an electrical cable that sent radio signals to a receiver on the front end of the car."" It also says, "" These smart- road systems worked surprisingly weel, but they required massive upgrades to exisiting roads, something that was simply too expensive to be practical."" This evidence shows that the driverless cars have been tested and improved throughout the years.
Another reason why I think driverless cars are a good thing is because of safety. These driverless cars have sensors that help the car and the human be in control of it. In the text it says, "" The information from the sensors can cause the car to apply brakes on individual wheels and reduce power from the engine, allowing far better response and control than a human driver could manage alone."" This evidence shows that these sensors can help the human driver drive more safe. Another piece of evidence is that in the text it says, "" The google car simply announces when the driver should be prepared to take over. Other options under the consideration are flashing lights on the windshield and other heads-up displays. Manufacturers are also considering using cameras to watch that drivers are remaining focused on the road. While the driver watches the road, the car watches the driver."" This evidence shows that the more they are working on driverless cars, the more ways they are finding ways to make them more safe.
My last reason to why driverless cars are better than others are because they make the drivers more alert when driving. In the text it talks about how the driverless cars will not be completely driverless because there is still human control needed. In the text it says, "" but the special touch sensors make sure the driver keeps a hold of the wheel."" Also it says, "" They can steer, accelerate and brake themselves, but all are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills, such as navigating through work zones and around accidents. This means the human driver must remain alert and be ready to take over when the situations requires."" This evidence shows that the driver must be alert and focused, not slacking off and not paying attention.

The way people get in a car crash is when they driving and looking at the cell phone to text people back they look away for a good amount of second that a car can switch to their line and because the person on their cell phone they would see in till it is to late. people shouldn't use their cell phone because most death are because or the cell phone.

The Facial Action Coding System improves accuracy in perceiving the emotions of humans and detects how people truly feel even when they are trying to hide their emotions. Facial Action Coding System would be effective and valuable in reading emotional expressions of students in the classroom because;
Classroom computers would be able to know when they need to modify the lesson when they notice the students look bored or confused and that could make learning more effective to students. ""A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored, then it would modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor"". This shows how learning can be made much more easier and fun.
The facial action coding system would be effective in classrooms because it would make computer-animated faces more expressive when teaching. ""The same technology can make computer animated faces more expressive for video games or video surgery, most human communication is nonverbal including emotional communication"". Sometimes muscle clues might be wrong because sometimes people might not be able to indicate a genuine smile and a forced one but facial action coding system would be able to detect when students are happy and when they are lying.
""Most of us would have trouble actually describing each facial trait that conveys happy, worried, etc"".

0BAA5F009116,"Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break. Students should design these projects to let the teacher see how creative students can be. Also to show the diffrent ways students can use their mind to comlete the project in the course of the their break. In some cases students will not want to do any work over their break, but if these students can design the assignment and do what ever project they want to do they will be willing to do the work. Furthermore, students being able to design a project for the course of summer break will help students learn how to complete a task they assign themelves and will help students be able to set goals and accomplish them in the future.
This form of learning can assist students in being creative and opening up the mind to new things. Those qualitys help expand the information you know and can benefit you in the long run. These things form a intellegent mind thats why I feel its a need to try and do new things to learn. For example, there was a time when I was told by a teacher to try a new method in reading that I come up with because she said thats something to make you remember what youve just learned ,and ever since then I have always been open to new things and ideas when it comes to coming up with a new way of learning. Therefore, I always try to incourage others to do the same because its something that strenghtings you, opens the mind, and makes you a smarter individual.
Using your mind in diffrent ways stimulates students brains and Creates new pathways for information to be shared. This is a way to get a better understanding of ways you can look at certain situations as a student. For instance, you might not like the way things are going in class but if you were to sit and think of better ways to handle the problem it will show you that thinking in diffrent ways can make a problem a blessing you just have to be willing to put forth the effort. trying is better than not trying and that can make a big diffrence in your life and how you live it. It takes being diverse on how you think to become a great student.
Students creating their own project for their summer break is one of the best things you can get a student to do because they have to think and use diffrent ideas to complete a assignment that they choose. Its important to understand the importance of this because it will give them something to do to remember what they learned from school in the past year while they are on summer break, so they can't forget any information that is needed for years to come. Also will be alot easier for them to accomplish things in the future due to working in the summer nights through school and this will highly benefit the students and their future. Thats the reason I think this will be beneficial to anyone who attempts.
Another reason is that it will prepare the students for a heavy work load in years to come. For example, being in highschool and later going on to college is not just a walk in the park its hard days and long nights to accomplish something bigger. Students doing this at a young age will have them ready for the highschool and college lifestyle. Also will give them something they can never loose and thats the dicipline you get from doing obstacles like this because it keeps you from getting distracted and helps you focus harder on the project and they all starts with you aswell so its the dicipline you aquire from doing things like that.
In conclusion, students are required to design their own project they are to complete over the course of summer and create it by themselves. I agree with this because it can give the students important qualities that they only can get from doing something like a self made project and can benefit them for their future. Doing certain things in life are only to help you learn and grow and doing a project like this will help you be able to multitask and do things a different way then you see everyone else doing. Therefore students designing their own projects can help and benefit them to be a better individuals in the future.

Though the Electorial College is not fair for individuals because, who they have elected are not really being accounted because congress takes vote determining who the next president would be. The change from the Electorial College would be more favorable by the citzens in Florida even in the country because it gives more of a comfort knowing that the election is a 50/50.
In the state of Florida there are many retiries and elders who have moved from all over the country to join our warm weather, many of them have a lot of political views on the leader of our country so it would be best if they had the chioce and knowledge of knowing that their votes would be accounted for, they would not having to worry if it would be fair or not. Though there are also some retiries that do not care at all about any of this mumbo jumbo and would rather just relax in the sun. Though if there wasn't election based on popularity then the elders would not have the benefits they would like such as more retirement funds, or better health care benefits.
Election by popularity should especially be approved in all states because each states should have the abitlity to vote for who they want instead of living in hope for who they they want to win. Also the small states may be outruled by the votes from larger states such as California, Florida and Texas. The ""winner take all"" system isn't really a reliable way to determine the leader of our nation.
Back in 2000 there was a disaster factor which involved the Electorial College and it is known to be one of the biggest election crisis of the century which shot hate to the democratic electors because John F. Kennedy was opposed by the electors but he still won by popular vote. The Electoril;a Collge is very confusing because the time being wasted to elect a president is rather lost waiting in line to just check down a name on a piece of paper.

1D92661C7CB9,"The idea of driverless cars is extraordinary and could be a great plan and a great source of entertainment. Who would not want a car that drives by itself? The idea is great but it could potentially bring a lot of bad baggage along with it. The world does not need driverless cars because it is unsafe, defeats the purpose of driving, and is a waste of money.
Driverless cars are very unsafe. In the article it talks about all the things they can do, for example, it can steer, accelerate, and brake all by itself! Somehow, someway this is possible, but is it consistent is the question? Throughout the article they talked about tests they did and the results that came with the tests. While describing them the author used phrases like, ""It worked well."" Only one paragraph in the article they were 'for sure' that it worked. For someone to drive such a car they should have specific clarification that they would be safe while inside this vehicle, and they can trust that they have no worries and that this car will do 80% of the work for them. Also, if the car does most of the work for you, then what is the point of having a car?
Driverless cars defeat the purpose of even having a car. All of the processes you go through as a teenager with getting your permit or license is diminished, and in a sense you did all that work for nothing. The point of driving is having a quicker way of getting to the places you need to be instead of walking, biking, etc. In paragraph 10 it says that an automaking company named 'Tesla' is making a car that can be on autopilot 90 percent of the time. Ask youself, why would you waste your time on getting a car like that when you can ride the bus, train, limo, or taxi that would do 100 percent of the driving for you? That would just make me feel like I'm wasting my money on senseless things.
Driverless cars are also a waste of money. Automakers spend millions, maybe even billions of dollars making prototypes of these cars and testing them. Every time one of the test cars do not work they have to go and make a new one which is money that could be used for something a lot more efficient. The automakers to this day are still doing this, which is throwing money out the window. But not just the automakers are wasting their time and money, if people were to get this car they would be wasting their time and money also. People would waste thousands of dollar on one car that is pointless. Rich or poor this would be a senseless investment, because there are cheaper ways to get where you need to go. Taxi's, limos, buses, and trains are all great affordable ways of transportation. The automakers could find something that is a lot better and cheaper that could change the world.
Driverless cars is again a wonderful, awesome idea. It would definetly have a lot of popularity and publicity but is it really worth it in the long run? The automakers can find a lot of things that could change the world, and this is something the world does not need.

The debate is about whether or not the imprint on mars's platform that appears to be a face, was created by a natural cause or by an alien. I had done some scientific study on the situation myself, being that I am a scientist and I believe that the imprint was indeed made naturally.
some eveidence to back up my claim would be that in paragraph 12 of the article i used as a part of my scientific study is that what the picture actually shows is the martian equivalent of a butte or mesa. This reminds another scientist named garvin, of the middle butte in idaho. A middle butte is a lava dome that takes form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the face on mars. This is proof that the imprint was made naturally and not by an alien because lava domes are made naturally which is what the face on mars is.

FF020ED4A1D4,"I believe that the so-called ""Face on Mars"" is actually just a rock formation that appears to be a face because of low-tech cameras from two decades ago. I'm going to explain why I believe that my claim is correct.
First, it is clearly obvious that the face only appers as a face because of low resolution cameras and odd shadows, as you can see from the most recent photographs of the rock face. Even in the 1998 picture it is pretty clear that it is not in fact a face but is just a rock formation. The clouds obscure some of the face in the 1998 picture so it might not be conclusive, but the 2001 picture proves it.
Also, if there were alien life of Mars, that would skyrocket NASA's budget to get to Mars because the public would be going crazy and the whole world would want to know. If there were alien life on Mars and NASA was the administration to discover it, the whole world's eyes and wallets would be on them, expecting them to put some men on mars to try to make contact with the Martian life forms, thus winning the race to put astronauts on Mars.

F3C35E790698,"Whether we have our license or not, we can all relate to the stress of the daily commute. As of the past century, cars have been one of the most efficient ways to get from point A to point B. Now, mainly due to air pollution, there has been a noticeable decline in the amount of cars used for travel. The advantages of limiting car usage include less stress, less air pollution, and an overall improved society.
The stress of traffic and the constant pressure to be on time would be significantly reduced if people chose other means of transportation such as riding a bike, taking public transportation such as the subway or bus, or walking. Source 1 shows just how effective decreased car usage can be. It describes Vauban, Germany, a small suburb community in which there is virtually no car usage. Many citizens report being less tense, as everything is made within means of walking- distance.
Another cause of stress from car usage is the effects it has on the atmosphere. Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of the greeehouse gas emissions in Europe and 50 percent in some car- intensive areas in the United States.(Source 1) Paris is an excellent example of just how much car usage has had such negative effects on the atmosphere. Source 2 explains how Paris was so smog ridden it rivaled Bejing, China. Paris then placed limits on car usage until the smog cleared enough for the ban to be lifted.
Not only does decreased car usage help the planet, it helps society as a whole. Source 3 describes Bogota, Columbia and how it celebrates one day a year of no car usage. The city has found that not only has this policy helped claear the smog, but it is enthusiastically endorsed by the citizens. Most peole turned out to see the bike races, despite the occasional rain showers. This has caused two other Colombian cities, Cali and Valledupar to join the event. Bogota has seen the construction of 118 bike paths, the most of any Latin American city. It is not just the government endorsing decreased car usage but people themselves. Source 4 points out how the number of miles driven per person was 9 percent below the peak. There are various explanation for why people are driving less, one might be that the internet makes increased telecommuting possible and allows people to feel more connected without having to drive to them.
It is evident that we are witnessing a major cultural shift, possible degressing, but in the best possible way. The decreased incline to drive has resulted in less air pollution, a less stressed population, and an improved society overall.

First, Some students can not come to school everyday because they have a full-time job and their parents do not support them. For example, Many students do not have the same opportunities than others students so, they have to become independent. As a result, they have to leave from their homes and to find a job so, they sacrifice to study because they don't have time to come to school. With this option, they can go to work then, they can take their classes at home after work without to feel pressure by their responsibilities.
Second, This option can avoid the absents for students don't like come to school. For example, Some students don't like come to school and they prefer stay at home because they are attacking by schools' bullies. These students feel more confident in their home than in the school and, they believe that this option is the best way for to solve their school's problems. They also prefer this option because they are shy and they don't like to speak or to do presentations in front of the class by the students make fun of them.
Another reason for this option can would help many students is the students have kids and they can not come to school by their kids because they don't like that another person take care their kids and they prefer stay at home with their kids than come to school.

3FD62131C5BC,"Dear Ms. principal,
I have heard that you are thinking about changing the policy for after school activity's that you have to have at least a B average. I do not agree with this change because many students who are participating in these school activity's are trying their hardest to get C' s and if you take away their after school activity's they might just stop trying all together.
Many of the students in this school depend on these activity's to get them through the day. They might not have the best at home life, and they like that they can get their mind of things while playing basketball or at book club. To some students these activity's are their life's away from home, to some its the only reason they even come to school in the morning.
If you say that they must have a B average many will think that they can never get there and many will just quite before even trying. I understand where you are coming from thinking that this will just make the students try harder but many are already under pressure to keep there grades at a C and they will just break if you put this pressure on them . Maybe you could make it a C+ average that way yes the grade will come up but they wont seem like its to much pressure. Even just talking to these groups would do something telling them that they are leaders of this school and they need to lead by an example.
I think you are only looking at the bright side of things but think about if you do this and people just quite the teams and club then what are you going to do? What about those few smart kids who acutely care? Are you going to keep book club with one student? Are you going to have basketball team with 10 players? Or are you going to have to tell those few kids that you can't have these clubs and teams anymore just because you wanted to push the students a little farther. The students are already trying hard and they are pushing themselves but there is a limit to everything.
Please think this over before you decide about changing the policy. Students at this school need the after school activity's just because they aren't the best in the classroom doesn't mean you should take away the things they love. I fear if you do some students will just stop caring about school at all , then what would you do? You have no way to make them care again because guess what? If you take it away and they let their grades drop they will never care enough to get them back up even if you change the policy again. I hope you see our side of it to, I know basketball is my life right now and I don't know what i would do if you took that away from me because I have no where to run after this. My parents are done with me and so are my grandparents , this team really has turned in to mine and many others family away from home please don't take this away.

9F398ECA9C9B,"I do not beleive that the author justifies their statement of ""Venus has value"" in paragraph 8. The author does not explain the pros of exploring Venus as well as they explain the cons of why we should explore Venus. Why do I think this? Well the autor describes the deadly, hot and thick atmosphere of Venus, stating that the reason exploring Venus is worth the risk is because ""Venus still has some features that are analigous to those on Earth."" Well, does that justify spending millions or hundreds of millions of dollars on a rover or a spacecraft to explore it? I don't beleive so.
It's quite simple to explain why Venus does not need to be explored or closly examined from high up in it's atmosphere. The pros do outweigh the cons in this aticle, here is a quote from the author: ""On the planet's surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet."" That temperature is obviously deadly to humans, and that is a major risk when it comes to spending millions on making a rover that will only last up to a couple hours just to get a glimps on the planet. Or maybe just to get a couple pictures. The author does not go on to say how exploring Venus with genuinley benifit the human race. The author simply explains how scientists are curious about the planet and what is on it, I do not beleive that satisfying our curiosity will help anyone. This is a quote from paragraph 8 of the article that states: ""Striving to meet the challenge presented by Venus has value, not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself, but also because human curiosity will likley lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors.""
Now, to add on to the last quote I stated from the article, the author does not state what the human race would do with that ""insight"" that we would gain about Venus, they just state that we would have insight. well then I would ask the author, what is the point in the insight if we wouldn't be able to do anything with the insight that we have gained from the exploration? All that we would gain from spending millions on sending a spacecraft to Venus would be meaningless insight and the feeding of our curiosity. When there are many bigger issues to be solved here on Earth. For example, the crisis that is curently happening in Venesuala, their government is shut down and millions are starving, some familys have resorted in digging through the trash for food and we could help them, but instead we want to spend money on gaining ""insight"" about Venus? Which the article states that Venus is too dangerous to go to anyway. It angers me that half of New York could be underwater in the next thirty years from global warming but we are worried about getting a small peek into the world of Venus.
I do understand why Scientists would like to go to Venus, it would be a great acheivement for humanity. But I am a firm beleiver that our planet should come first, after all, we do only get one Earth, that means we must take care of it. Maybe one day when Our problems down here are solved and we have the ability to really gain benifits from Venus then I will want us to explore more. But for now I'm sticking to the thought that our planet comes first. In conclusion, no, I do not beleive that the author of this article did a good job at explaining why studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers of it. Because in the end it's not just the dangers of going to Venus that keeps me from beleiving that we should. It's the problems that we are facing here on Earth that are far more important.",,666,Exploring Venus,Text dependent,"In ""The Challenge of Exploring Venus,"" the author suggests studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents.

If the amounts of cars being driven/owned reduces we will come to plenty of advantages in manys ways. Human Health, abilities, and living spaces will all benefit from being car free !
Less cars makes the area less compacted which allows more space for side walks and walk ways to be built into the small town that have a high population.

Without all of the car infested thing such as spoken there will be appropiate space and routes for public transportation and makes things and place s more accessible.

Not mentioning many more abilities that will come to hand when we become car free. Becomming car free environments is a very important task also for health reasons of everyone. Riding bikes, hiking, and walking will all come a part of everyones daily activity if not while being publically transported.. Smog is also a big issue hear, agreed? For example, in Paris, there smog percentage went down 60% because they are going through the process of limiting ownership of cars.

63F4D4192E13,"A new technology called the Facial Action Coding System is described by the author of the article ""Making Mona Lisa Smile"". This system enables computers to identify six of the human emotions. This technology should be used to read the emotional expresiions of students in a classroom, because it is a very valuable technology.
Firstly, we should have this technology because it would help explain how people would be feeling on a certain subject, lifestyle or in everyday life. ""Eckman has classified six basic emotions-happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear and sadness."" Since Dr. Eckman has programmed these emotions we can better understand how someone is feeling without having to ask him; each emotion inflicts a facial muscle movement which is recognised and is catagorized as an emotion.
In addiotion, we should have these identifiers because it could help students learn better. ""A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored... then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor."" This software could help someone who is easily distracted. This technology could find a way to help with this person, and the coding system could produce a lesson that this person can listen to and understand it because it was made for them.
Also, the Facial Action Coding System can help teachers and staff. Some students do not show what they are feeling. If this technology can figure out facial expressions then the teachers will know who is having a bad day, the teacher could then talk to this person privately and see how they are doing. ""According to the Facial Feedback Theory of Emotion, moving your facial muscles not only expresses emotuions, but also may even help produce them."" Since studies show that if a student smiles they could have a better day. The teacher could recognise that someone is feeeling down so they could say a funny joke and sprout an emotion into a particualr student.
In the final analysis, we should have the Facial Action Coding System in school because it will help students feel better and learn better. If a student does not want to go to school then they probably do not want to learn either. If this system can make someone's day then students would want to come to school, and teachers would then have students who want to learn. ""Making Mona Lisa Smile"" is a great article and the technology that is included in the article may be the next big thing. The first step for the coding system is to use the technology to read the emotional expression of student in classrooms. This technology can help a student throughout their school work.

196B4ED6FA4F,"I do agree with making students do one extracurricular active such as sports, clubs ,and teaching program it would make the school healthier, kinder,and smarter. The student body at my school isn't very healthy, smart, or kind. Most of the student body isn't very involved with the school and that needs to change. Having student do things such as sports, clubs, and teaching program would change the student body as a whole.
First, most students at
Generic_Name are in as much shape as a billboard, they arent very active. By making students sign up for a sport would change that, not only would it make the student body healthier, but also it would bond the school. Sports could even pay off in the end for students but also schools. The way sports can change a school are endless but you can't have a sport team with out students. By making students sigh up for sports you are not only grantee a sport team but also a healthier and kinder school.
Second, Sports aren't for everyone maybe students want to become smarter or kinder in their school and community. Students could do that by joining a club like the F.O.R club. Students could also help their school by joining S.C.A
both of these clubs are very active. They are active in both their community and their school. Having students join clubs would benefit the school in health but it would benefit the schools community. If students were to join clubs the schools would be a safer and better place for both students and staff.
Third, some are students that aren't very active in both sports and the community. Those students could join teaching program to help benefit students. Those students would also be benefiting the school too. These student would most likely want to be come teachers. This program would benefit them, other students and the school. It would benefit them because they are getting early teaching skills. It would help teachers by not having them teaching program student when they could be making lessons and by having smarter students. All around this program would make the school a smarter place.
Is making students join one extracurricular active a good idea? Yes it is both students and the school would benefit from this rule change. The schools sports teams, clubs, and teaching program would be booming. When you have people coming to your sport, club, or program you can do bigger and better things. All around the pros out weight the cons that is another great reason the make the rule change. The schools health, kindness, and smarts would be greater than ever.

Students shouldn't have to be forced to do something and they should and will have the personal freedom to choose whether or not they should do one.

Not just students, but everyone should have the personal freedom to what they want when they please, as long as it doesn't break any laws. While it would be good to have every student participate in an after-school activity, they shouldn't be forced to do one. It's better to have the all students participating in an after-school activity statistic come naturally, not have it be forced on them through an unfair and authoritarian rule.
The students are responsible and mature enough to make their own decisions on this topic.

4EFC8F589A83,"Knowledge, it is one of the most powerful things in the world. How do people gain knowledge? They gain information from their mentors, teachers, coaches, parents, and older siblings. People are always learning something new everyday, from how to do long division to how to make friends. The school districts are creating projects for students to do over the summer so they can continue to learn while out of school. Although some say that teacher-design is better and more effective, student-design actually can benefit the students more by opening up their imagination and also expands their creativity.
Summer is mean't for fun and laughter, not being kept inside all day working on a project the teacher assigned over summer break. The whole point of summer is being away from school and having a vacation. So wouldn't students prefer to do a project about something that they are passionate about? Indeed, studies show that when students do school work that they choose and are passionate about their work ends up being more creative and overall better performance. Students are just growing up and in school they aren't allowed to truly express themselves because they are either too shy or the class doesn't discuss their interests. Teenagers only want to do and listen to what they want, they don't want a teacher giving them homework over summer break not even to mention that it is not something they enjoy. Creating a summer project that the students can create on their own with their brilliant minds will not only increase there productivity level, but also make them love school more because they get to do something that inspires them.
However, students grow up doing what they are told by their parents and teachers. Having a teacher planned project can be very beneficial because students more times than not, when doing something they don't like, they end up getting offtask or going the easy way out. That is why they need to have structure and guidelines. What ends up happening is when a student is struggling they procrastinate or end up not doing it at all. This branches from when students have difficulty coming up with their own ideas and are stuck trying to figure out what to do. That is why having a teacher based project is more effective because students are given what they need all they have to do is complete the assignment.
In conclusion, students grow up with an endless imagination and one day eventually it dies when they grow up to become adults. That is why a student-design project can end up being more beneficial than supposed to having a teacher assign the students a project where they aren't going to have fun and in the end will probably forget what the project was about. Students learn better when they do something that interests them and benefit more from that then to do a project about the presidents.
Having a teacher-design project has minimal benefits, that is why having a student-design project, which opens up great minds and can help students comprehend better what they are learning when doing something they enjoy.",,519,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

19A01FCD9C30,"To the principal:
Students should bring their cell phones to school and only use them during free periods and lunchtime because using phones is important; it's used for emergencies, calling other people that are in different places, and chatting with your friends from separate places. Cell phones are the important devices that are ever invented, and they are used to save on trees. Back then, people had to write letters and send them to their friends, family, and businesses.
Cell phones may cost a lot of money, but they're important to use, and you can call your parents from school if you are getting ill, and you want to use your own phone instead of the nurses' phone. Cell phones are like travel phones, you can keep them in your pocket when traveling and use them just in case you need them. I know that cell phones may be obnoxious to use during school since they have ring tones, but they are useful.
Cell phones are the new telephones, because telephones are at-home phones, and you can't take them with you when you are traveling, and besides, telephones are getting old and people would want to have a device in their pocket while in public. Telephones might have more messages than a cell phone, because people are barely home and they might have longer work shifts.
When people are at work, they are wondering who's calling them on their telephones and they might worry that they missed a call. People who are at work might be thinking about getting a cell phone instead of worrying about their telephone from home. We know that people don't like missing important calls, and they hate checking their messages. Telephones aren't made for texting like cell phones are.
Students may also want to check appointments on their own when using their cell phone, so their parents won't have to remind them about scheduled appointments, and they can remind themselves on their own.

EF478C3A8264,"If one person told you that you were dumb, but everyone else thinks you're smart, would you believe just that one person? Of course you wouldn't. That ideology goes the same for advice. It's better to ask multiple people for advice than just one person. It can help you differ right from wrong, it can make you more confident with your choice, and everyone has a different perspective on life.
Firstly, it's important to find out what's right and what's wrong. Asking a lot of people for advice can help you see what your peers believe in. Asking older, wiser people for advice is a great way to learn. Older people have went through more experiences and have true reasons for what they believe in versus a more younger, inexperienced person. To give an example, say you broke your mom's favorite vase. You ask only one of your friends about it, and they say, ""I'd lie so I wouldn't get in trouble."" This is what this one person believes in but say you ask more friends and family. They all say being honest is better than lying. You obviously take the others advice and don't get in a lot of trouble. You then learned a good life lesson for the future.
Another reason is that this can help you become more confident with your choice. It's very stressful to be put in a situation that you don't know the answer to. You can feel boxed in, paranoid, and even depressed. Asking one friend may help with your situation but you may still feel insecure about you choice. When you ask several people and they all give a great explanation and reason, you can feel better about the situation and let your brain relax. Let's think about the last example I used. You broke your mom's vase and you feel terrible about it and feel afraid your mom will get angry at you. When you asked your friends and family, they all told you honesty was the best choice and your mom shouldn't be angry with you for telling the truth. This would make you feel less stressful about it and help you do a right thing.
Lastly, everyone has a different perspective on life. Everyone sees the world how they want to see it. A glass half-full kind of person sees the world with optimism and on the other hand, a glass half-empty kind of person sees the world with pessimism. In other words, some people see life as a lesson while others see it as a harsh reality. Their point of view is shaped by what they've experienced in their life and how they feel about those experiences. To use a different example, say you did something illegal and asked your friends what you should do. Everyone might give a different answer and it may be no help at that moment but later in life, you'll learn that everyone has different beliefs and feelings and you'' be wiser about what you should do.
In conclusion, asking multiple people for advice can help you know what's right from wrong. It will help you feel confident and less stressed with your situation. It also teaches you how everyone has different beliefs and we should value others advice. Asking more people for advice is beneficial to you and can help you form a better choice.

A4BBC75728EF,"Dear Principle,
The students of our school heard that you may be considering making changes to our school sports and activities because of grades. My piers, as does myself does not agree with this change that may be made. You and all of the teachers know that some kids strive to do well in school so they are able to be apart of other things. Some of the kids are more athletic, musical, and creative then academic; therefore it would not be fair to pull it away from students who are now trying their best in school because of outside activities. Yes, some people may have C averages, but if this is showing their best work then I think you should be encouraged that they are working to their highest standards.
It is not fair for students to not be able to afford outside sports to now have their way of playing be cut. Yes school is mainly academic and most people should focus on that, but I believe that it is important to have other activities. I have played soccer and track for the school. It was good for me because I got to know more people that went to our school and socialize. We all know that school is not the place where we want to come and have no friends. This is why it made a good time to enjoy school while still getting an education. Gym is a class that is mandatory in our school system, but you do not get to work as a team as much as sports. It does make sure you are in shape but it is not as much fun as other sports you are able to play.
This is why I think that if you want to play sports, then you should have a C Average. Even though sports do take up time, they will know that they need to do well in school. Pushing themselves physically and mentally I feel will get them ready for the real world. High school sports are also important for college if that is what you want to focus on. School should be about what you want to do in the future and not just all grades now. It is important to have good grades, and if sports are what is pushing you, then I think it should be acceptable. Thank you for your time.

Venus is refered as the to the ""Evening Star. The nickanme is misleading since Venus is really a plant in our solar system, Venus is the second planet from our Sun.""Astronomers are fascinated by venus because it may have beem the most Earth-like planet in our solar system. Venus is often referred as Earth's twin. Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth."" Venus seems to be a fairly interesting planet to look into when put into the consideration that it was earth like with its rocky sediment surface, valleys, mountains and craters.
""Solar power would be plentiful and radiation would not exceed Earth levels. Not easy conditions, but sirvivable for humans."" If the people on Earth were in a end of the World crisis colonizing Venus would not be bad idea. Since the evidence of past life on Venus is right under the noses of the people of Earth it would be tough but not impossible.
Although the risks for exploring will be tough the real challenge will be to land on venus.""Peering at Venus from a ship orbiting or hovering safely far above the planet can provide only limited insight on ground conditions. Venus would need to get up close and personal despite the risks."" NASA is working on studying some appoarchs on how to get to venus. ""For example, some simplified electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulation the chaos of Venus's surface and have lasted for three weeks in such conditions.

Developing new technology is coming soon and as more time passes the more advanced it going to become and the goal to reach Venu's surface grows closer than ever before.
In conclusion aiming for landing of Venus is worth it, because of the invidence given on the planet. But there is also this hidden curiosity about Venus that can be off putting. Just because Earth may not have the technology right now doesn't mean humans should give up on the thought of exploring Venus.

1306DBD7573C,"Do you think students should have to participate in an extracurricular activity? In my opinion, they should. I was in an after school activity, and it benefited me. Students should have to participate in, at least, one extracurricular activity because students learn how to work together as a group, it can help them connect what they are learning to the real world, it can teach them valuable lessons, and it can help students make friends.
Learning teamwork is very important. When you go to apply for a job, teamwork is a good skill to have. Also, in school, when students work with other students, they are showing teamwork. For example, on the school sports teams, they have to work together to win the game. Teamwork is a spectacular skill to have.
Another reason students should participate in after school activities is because it can help them connect what they're learning into the real world. For example, a student who works with the yearbook club helps them connect their writing skill to things other than just writing a short essay. A further example is if a student participates in the STEAM club, they are using science, technology, engineering, art, and math into something they can connect the materials to. Knowing how the skill students are learning connects to what they might do out of school might help them want to learn it.
A further reason is that it can teach students valuable lessons. Some students may be used to always being focused on one thing. If one of these students joins the school play, however, they would learn to focus on every detail. For another example, a student might be used to working on one topic, so joining an extracurricular activity may help with that. Also, being in an after school activity could help with developing social skills as well.
My final reason is that being in a after school group helps students make friends. Making friends is hard during a school day, especially when you're always moving classes. Even during a class, students are so focused on their work, they will not get the chance to talk to the people around them. When students join an extracurricular activity, making friends is easier. In these groups, you stay longer, most of the time, than in a class.
Being in an extracurricular activity benefits students by teaching them teamwork, connecting materials of learning to the real world, helping them learn a lesson that is important, and giving them a chance to make friends.

Hello this STUDENT_NAME and I want you to require community service for our school. I believe that community service is a good thing.

F82FA4181D92,"When we think of break, whether it's Spring, Summer or Winter, we tend to think of it as something where we can relax after a long period of work or school, however, during these breaks, many of us play sports, have jobs or preform other activities during this time off. It's important to keep in mind that many students preform various activities when discussing a summer assignment. Some schools offer up this assignments, that way students are able to learn during break. The question isn't whether summer assignments are necessary or not, because having prior knowledge going into a class is important, but rather the question is whether the summer assignments should be be comprised of questions made by teachers or questions made by students. Having questions created by students, will make the summer assignments much more useful.
If you ask any student who pays attention in a certain class about the way they feel about that class, they're sure to give you a wide array of emotions that they felt toward certain topics or units. For example, if you ask a student their thoughts on unit 7, they are able to tell you if it was hard or easy and if it was on the difficult side, they would be able to tell you what kind of questions confused them. having this foresight is very important when creating questions, you are able to give other students more exercises for the questions you think are more difficult.
Another reason why it is more beneficial for students to create summer assignments rather than teachers, is because teachers tend to over prepare students which could become damaging. ""Overprepare"" can mean that you know the bare minimum and more, which does apply to teachers summer assignments, however, knowing too much unnecessary information can make you forget important information. Overcrowding summer assignments with non vital knowledge can also be discouraging to students, and it will make them not want to attempt the work.
Overall, having student created questions will benefit other students taking that class, because, at the end of the day, students understand what it's like to be a student. A student is not just a person who attends a form a schooling but an actual person. Students need time for sports, jobs they may have, or even just socializing and hanging out with friends.

E49A2A338F6F,"SO YOU WANT TO BE A SEAGOING COWBOY
If you're reading this article, I'm guessing you want to be a Seagoing Cowboy. It's an interesting job. It doesn't require any special skills or years and years of experience. You just have to know how to take good care of animals and not get seasick easily. It's not that hard. Read on; I'll show you why.
There are a lot of great reasons to join the program. Here are some. When I was a Seagoing Cowboy,(Yes, I was!) along with helping other countries get back on their feet, I got to see awe-inspiring things, such as the Acropolis in Greece and the Panama Canal on my way to China. Taking care of the animals wasn't that hard. Sure you had to clean the poop-ridden stalls and carry up heavy bags of oats, but the animals made great company. On rides back home, you could relax and play games with the rest of the crew.
Being a Seagoing Cowboy could be dangerous, too. Once, after making my hourly report to the captain, I fell down a slippery ladder and almost went overboard and died! Luckily I got away with only a broken rib and more caution. People in the countries we aided could've been hostile. Seas could've been violent. Storms could've broken our ship to bite-size pieces. Fortunately, none of that happened;most of my trips were safe ones
When I was a Seagoing Cowboy, it opened up the world to me. I saw that the world wasn't all sunshine and rainbows, like the little me thought. The world was full of unfairness and was my job, everybody's job, to help stop it. I stepped up to do my part by joining the Seagoing Cowboys. Do your part. Join the Seagoing Cowboys program today.

136B9BDB53E0,"Student are given summer projects, so they can keep needed information and skills when they are out of school. Though many wonder who should make the projects in the first place, the teachers or the students. It is undeniable that teenagers need autonomy, but teachers could do more with summer projects. They could prepare students for the next year, lessen the need to rush student learning and make students more comfortable in the class.
Many would say that teenagers need more autonomy, so having them do their own project would be better for their development. This fails to note that many teenagers already have things to do over the summer, and it would be a more of a bother to make them design a project themselves while also having it be on topic. A teacher designed project would give students a better understanding of where the class project expectations are, so they can attempt to meet them better at the start of the year.
Teacher made projects can give students an idea of the course that they will be taking once school begins. They could do research on topics and math reviews as an example. The students would be able to accurately get something to do over the summer to prepare, and it would be significantly harder if they had to do that on their own. By having the teachers design the projects, it makes a direct way for a student to prepare.
Teacher made projects would also lower the need to rush at the start of the year. The time students need to learn is a constant worry in schools. If teachers could get students ready to start off the year well, it would lessen the need to rush students into review. This helps teachers plan out their classes in a more effective manner, and it helps them have more control over the students preparation. The extra learning time would also help make up lost time from school days unexpectingly getting canceled. Teacher made projects would be a significant help to their planning and organization
Lastly projects made by teachers will make class better because a more confident group of students will enter their classroom on the first day of school. They will know more on the class, as well as on it's topics. This will help the class run better and make students more confident on what they worked on over the summer. Instead of them worrying about if their project was the right thing to do, they can know that they did prepare in the way the teacher intended.

The use of this technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is not valuable because it won't have any affect on the students, it will cost a lot of money to build, and it will be completely useless.
The use of this technology won't have any affect on the students. Many of the students nowadays will not be surprised by this idea. This explains why the use of this technology won'þ affect the students. Another reason, is that if the use of this technology goes to the schools many students won't care. This also helps explain why the use of this technology won't affect the students. The students and their physical emotions towards others aren't important to them.
Having the use of this technology in school will cost too much money to build. The cost's be a lot to program in each computer at very school. This explains that the school budget will be oout of hand. Also constructing a camera that detects emotion in a 3-D face model will be the most expensive piece to the computer.

Firstly without drivers there would be less accidents. Now since since not everyone would be able to afford using them there will still be accidents butz the number will be drasticly reduced. Since the car is driving itself there is no way that the driver can drive recklessly therefore greatly reducing the number of car crashes. So even if one of the drriverless cars gets into an accident it would be the manufacturer's fault because they are the ones hat are really driving here. So overall a lot safer than what we have now.
My next reason is that these cars a lot more gas efficient. The reason I say this is that they would always obey the speed limit exactly. Doing this should cut down on the gas used and therefore be much more efficient. In the long run this sabes everyone money except the gas stations.
Lastly this should decrease the need for insurance. In the article they said that these would be more like a taxi service so if they are taxi than no need for people to have insurance on cars. If everyone used these than no more need for car insurance at all. Which in turn saves even more money for people. So overall very good cost wise for people.

317BC7AD88EF,"""The Cowboy Program""
This isn't just any type of cowboy program, this is a cowboy who rode the waves. I think it would be good for kids to come helpout at this program. It can make you smart and learn about things you might not know.
This boy named Luke went with his best friend. His life totally changed. I'm now going to tell you why you should come. What they did their was they helped people. The boy boys played fun games like, table-tennis, fencing, boxing, reading, whittling. They did that to help pass time.
Being a Seagoing Cowboy was much of an adventure. Now here are some places they went that I think you might like. It took the group two weeks to travel across the Alantic ocean. They went to China which took a month. Also the program went to Greece to get their Military service. For World War ll in 1945, they went to Europe.
Now I'm going to tell you things they did to help out that you might like to do, if you like to do chores. Luke served as a night watchman. Also he went and checked on the animals every hour. Also to keep Luke busy about the animals is they had to be fed or watered two or three times a day. Another thing is bales of hay and bag of oats had to be pulled up from the lower holds of the ship. The stalls also had to be cleaned.
Lastly I'm going to tell you why Luke went on this ship and why you might want to. Luke went on this trip because he wanted to help out is best friend. Also he knew it was possibly the only chance he would ever get to get to go. Another reason is Luke thought it might be good work him. I think he also went on this trip to help out 44 other countries to recover their items. This was a very important job and Luke did a good job. I bet if you tried this, you would too.
Do you think you would ever want to go on this trip? I would, it sounds like you have to do work, but you still can have a lot of fun with the trip.

27D3919AEAE2,"When people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person. This seems rather odd to us to ask someone else rather than ourselves what choice to chose, but asking some one else for advice is actually very important and effective. Seeking multiple opinions can help you make a better choice because some people are wise, you have many different opinions from other people to choose from, and you might not like the choice you thought of.
To begin with, seeking multiple opinions can help you make a better choice because some people are wise. They may have been in a same or similar situation you may be in, they learned what they saw and is telling it to others along the way, they have greater wisdom about the world, having strong and thoughtful advice as well as being trustworthy people who would not try to steer others in the wrong direction, and they can pull or convince you to go into the right way to being a better person, in fact, some books and movies actually teach this lesson to the audience so they can learn it. All in all, you should get advice from people who are wise and are not on the bad side of life.
Next, you have many different opinions from other people to choose from. People from all the countries in the world see one thing or action different from how another person thinks, some have good outcomes while others have unhelpful outcomes, others might not understand what you are telling them so they might guess and give the wrong answer to you, singling out some of the advice given will make the chances of having a good outcome even greater, and people who known what their talking about, are often correct and suggest better pickings. To sum up, it is very good to have multiple opinions from others to see if one of their advice is better than the other.
Finally, you might not like the choice you thought of. It could end in an unpleasant outcome with bad consequences, your opinion could make you fall in with the wrong crowd of people, there is a high chance that stress will come to anyone who struggle with coming up with something to do, this may also cause you to have little confidence when you can not come up with advice for yourself, even though, it is okay to not know something and it is also fine to ask or talk to someone who dose know it, and do not try to come up with advice to something you can not do or know very little about. To warp it all up, if you come up with advice that dose not sound very wise, please ask another person so they can teach you the right way so you can be safe.
In conclusion, s eeking multiple opinions can help you make a better choice because some people are wise, you have many different opinions from other people to choose from, and you might not like the choice you thought of. You should care about this because many young kids and adults often do not ask others for advice because they do not know any better or refuse to ask another person they do not known to ask them for advice to do or not to do something, end up doing it that might get them in trouble or even get hurt. So that is why advice giving by people is so important because it steers those into the right path and get them up on their feet. So if you plan to hear or give advice to another person, tell them something wise a easy to understand so they could possibly pass it on to others. If you do this, then you will feel very confident in yourself and give advice where ever you go. If you do not do this, then you will not know what is right or wrong from another persons advice and you will likely not live a great life where you give advice but instead deny advice.",,686,Seeking multiple opinions,Independent,"When people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person.

51E211998DF0,"Dear TEACHER_NAME,
Technology has grown a lot over the years. We now have computers, laptops, cell phones, and now even cell phones that are like having a mini computer in your pocket.
Cell phones are a strong advancement. Most middle school children have them, flip phones side kicks, I personally have an Iphone. My question to you is, why is it that if cell phones are such a big part of our lives we cant bring them to school? I know that you probably bring a cell phone to school, so why is it that we cant? I think that we should be allowed to bring our cell phones to school, but that's not to say that i think we should to be able to use them in class. Cell phones can be distracting at times, so I think that we should only be able to use them during lunch or even during our own free time. Why is it called free time if were not free to do what we want? What if there's an emergency at home or you need to take the bus home and you didn't know? You wouldn't have known. You wouldn't have known because you cant have a cell phone in school. As long as the phone is off during class it does no harm to you and no harm to me, which means that there is no reason why we shouldn't have them. With phones like mine which is broken i don't have a ringer or vibrate it does not make a single sound, I don't even know when I got a text, unless I check it. I leave you with this technology has grown a lot over the years, why cant technology in the schools do the same?

They found a bunch of horses first with a number of 335 horses and enough hay and oats to feed them. Luke made nine trips which was the most of any Seagoing Cowboy.

7D83374556C1,"Knowledge is power. This phrase holds true even till today, and will most likely hold true for all of eternity. The more knowledgeable a particular person is, the more power they posses. Now it is no mystery that the public school education system has and is failing many of this country's youth, but what is a mystery is how to solve this conundrum and fix America's public education system. One of society's most powerful tools is the internet, so why not use it to help educate our youth? Some teachers have seen this resource and decided to take advantage of it and help educate their class with various online videos and websites. But why not take it one step further, and use this marvelous resource to our advantage and help teach students online? Some schools have taken the initiative to do precisely that, and now offer classes online for students to take, also known as distance learning. Distance learning benefits students by allowing them more flexibility and versatility to learn, adds more positive options for learning, and removes certain restrictions and concerns that come from having to attend a physical location for an education.
Life is extremely unpredictable. Anything can happen that might withhold a student from being able to attend school, ranging from a fatal car crash or something as simple as pressing the snooze button a few too many times. Sometimes life dictates that going to school isn't going to happen. By allowing students to move the classroom from their classroom to their house, they are able to have more flexibility and versatility in their lives and receive the proper education they require. Online classes makes getting an education easier for students. Why wouldn't that be a positive? If classes start at 7:30, students may have to wake up as early as 5:00 in order to get themselves prepared for the day. If a student doesn't take the bus, online classes free up the students parents, and allows them to have one less responsibility in their, possibly, extremely busy day. It also saves them money, whether it be for gas or for a taxi. It frees up the student, by giving them the opportunity to not have to get dressed. It may take 30 minutes or even an hour for a student to shower and get dressed, but by removing this routine, that is an extra hour that the student is able to sleep. Many argue that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but by requiring students to attend a class somewhere else, many students sacrifice eating, in order to arrive to class on time, yet online classes can help students enjoy the benefits of breakfast. Online classes make students lives more flexible and versatile by allowing them to decide when to take the class.
One could argue, that the internet is the greatest resource available. Unlike a book, information on the internet can be updated and corrected, without having to print and buy an entirely new book. The internet is also free, and provides various explanations that can cater to various different people and their learning styles. But many teachers restrict their class, by not taking advantage of this marvelous resource. While in class students must learn by any means the teacher uses, and if the teacher fails to explain a certain topic, the student suffers. In class, students can not search up a subject on the internet, it would most likely be a disaster if they could. Many students don't even ask questions, because they are afraid of humiliation, and if they do, they do not continue to inquire if they are still confused because they don't want to frustrate their teacher or look unintelligent. With the internet, this doesn't occur. Users are able to ask the ""dumbest"" questions imaginable, free of judgment. It also allows them to be more thorough, thus allowing them to better understand the subject and content better. All of this is possible with online classes, because students can rely on the internet to get accurate information, explained to them in a multitude of ways. If they don't like one websites explanation, they can look at another. The internet provides a variety of different websites to learn from, thus, allowing more options for students. Some could argue that a person could teach better than a book or website, and while this is true to an extent, online school doesn't remove the teacher, it only allows for another option, which is always a positive. If students still want to go to class, they still can.
Having brick and mortar institutions comes with its restrictions. Whether it be a bank or a school, having institutions online makes life easier. Classes are held at a certain time period, and while this may be a plus for some, this definitely comes with restrictions. If a student doesn't arrive on time or misses the day, there is nothing more that they can do. With online classes, students are able to still learn and possibly learn even better than in class. Another issue many schools face is harassment, and online classes can help with this as well. Even though it is important for students to learn how to act and react in social settings, if a student is being harassed by a group of students, they now have the option to be able to avoid them altogether. A classroom is restricted by the teaching style of a teacher. If students aren't compatible with a teachers teaching style, they have to figure out a way to solve their problem on their own. Online classes remove the middle man, and allow students to learn on their own.
Education is vital and key to the success of any nation. If humanity hopes to survive, it must be able to adapt and learn to evolve the systems already in place to try and improve society, such as the education system. By using one of humanities greatest accomplishments, the internet, schools can vastly improve, in turn, improving society as a whole. Distance learning is beneficial because of the flexibility it allows, the opportunities it offers, and the restrictions it disables.",,1024,Distance learning,Independent,Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing.

9DB1AA4819AD,"Many schools around the world offer long distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing. Schools will offer this if school has been temporarily shut down or if the student wishes to take a course the school does not offer. While a few number of people believe online school is unhealthy and wrong for students, in reality, online school provides many benefits and programs not offered by regular school. Online school has changed education for the better and made learning more accessible to people across the world.
In case of emergencies, schools have been known to close school and have the students learn online and do their work at home. If any diseases are running rampant or the school has a internal issue, schools tend to rely on new technology that will allow teachers to teach their students while they are in the safety of their home. Recently, the corona virus has been a problematic issue in my school area. The schools have closed one day off school to teach the teachers that if an emergency arrives and the students are not able to go to school, they will be able to teach from long distances and classes can resume as normal. Instead of a natural disaster or disease closing down school and stopping schools from functioning, educating students would continue without fear. The new age of technology not only increases the amount of information, but makes it more accessible.
Online school students also take online classes to get credits for classes their local schools do not provide. Current public schools do not offer every single class to satisfy every single student. A way of students going around that issue is online school. Online school provides almost every single course a student would want to take, from culinary classes to advanced mathematics. For example, my friend Generic_Name, a member of my school's Cyber Security Club, had just passed Cyber Security Fundamentals and was looking to move on to the next unit. However, my school did not offer Cyber Security 1, so Generic_Name talked to his councilor and was able to take the class at home using an online course and receive credits on his diploma. Online school provides more information, classes, and options to students who seek a broader education.
Critics argue that online school takes away from the personal experience of school and offers a way for kids to not go to school. While online school does take away party from the personal experience you would get at a public school, online school makes up for that with video conferencing and direct communication with the teacher and other students. Critics say online school kids use online school as a way to get out of going to real school. That statement is false, most students that take the online courses do this so they can work at their own pace and learn things not offered by his or her public school. Online school widens the range for students to learn and provides an alternative method to taking classes and learning in general. Students learn at different paces and online school gives students the power to work at their own pace without fear of falling behind in a class.
Over the past five years, online school has had a huge impact on learning and accessibility of information. It has become detrimental to a great number of students and a beneficial resource to schools across the world. It helps schools in crisis, provides more curriculum, and lets students work at their own pace. Without this resource our education system would be crippled and our students would suffer. Some may believe online school is anti social and negative for students, it is undeniable that online school provides millions of benefits and programs not offered by regular school.

8B5B15211390,"There are multiple reasons why seeking other opinions can help someone make a better choice. The first reason why looking for multiple opinions can someone make a better choice is because people have different approaches to different situations. Another reason is because when getting more opinions people can build an overall idea of what is better to do. The last reason is because people think differently so keeping an open mind and listening to other opinions can help people think of their situation differently and make a better choice.
When people get multiple opinions they hear other people's way of thinking and their approach to a situation. People tend to look at things just one way even when trying to have a different point of view themselves. It's hard for people to see things differently on their own. Going to someone else for help can help people see another point of view and help them make a better choice because they have heard another person's way of looking at things. When people look at another person's way of thinking, they may find a better solution, helping them make a better choice.
Having multiple points of view can help a person build up an overall idea of what to do in their situation. They may reflect on all the other opinions they have received and see things differently. When viewing things differently people may find a better solution to problems. This can help someone make better choices since they aren't looking at things from one perspective, instead they're looking at multiple sides of a situation. This will help them think of a different and better choice.
When people keep an open mind and try listening to other people, they have a higher chance of making a better choice. Only taking one perspective into consideration may affect others due to someone not thinking of them at first. Therefore, having a second opinion can help them make a better choice because another person may think of other things or people that may be affected that someone had not thought of at first. A person may also bring up a different point that hadn't been thought of at first which will help a person with their decision making process. When it comes to decision making, taking other things and people into consideration will always help make a better choice.
In conclusion, it is better to find people to go to and get their opinion when trying to make a choice rather than making a choice without a second point of view. It will allow people to have another opinion and make a much better choice because it had more thought put into it. Getting other views will help people make a better choice when things are well thought out. Without another person's perspective, the choice someone makes may not be the best and may affect others negatively.

5441B7ECF4ED,"Have you ever come home from a rough day at school and just wished you had something to do that would take your mind off of your stress? Many students deal with this problem on a daily basis, and there's a way to fix it. Extracurriculars for students should be required in schools because they help reduce stress, improve time management, and look really impressive when applying for schools.
Extracurriculars are an amazing way to help reduce stress for students by taking their mind away from their problems. Students often get overloaded with schoolwork and it can cause many problems emotionally and mentally. Recent studies have shown that kids who don't take sports or music outside of school are more likely to get depression or anxiety. If extracurriculars in schools were mandatory, less kids would get overwhelmed by stress.
Not only do extracurriculars help reduce stress in students, but they also help improve time management skills. Time management is a very important skill for kids not only in school but also for their lives in the future, and extracurriculars are a great way to teach them. When students have school on top of sports and other activities, they have less time to get everything done during the day. This causes students to learn ways to get their work done as soon as possible and fit everything into a small amount of time. Students with good time management skills tend to perform better in school because they never procrastinate on studying or homework. Many studies have been done on students who take extracurriculars compared to students who don't, and the results have shown that most students with extracurriculars have higher grades. If more kids took extracurriculars outside of school, they would improve their grades as a result of improving their time management skills.
When applying for colleges there's one thing that's really appealing about an applicant, and that's their extracurriculars. When a student takes multiple extracurriculars outside of school, it makes them look very skilled compared to other applicants. This can boost up a student's possibility of getting accepted into the school they apply for. Studies on colleges and their acceptance rates have proven that kids who were involved in more activities were accepted over students who weren't. The more skills you have, the better you look compared to someone who doesn't have as many. If schools required their kids to take extracurriculars, larger amounts of their students would get accepted into colleges.
Obviously, it would be very beneficial for schools to require their students to be involved in extracurriculars. Students would be less stressed, better at managing their time, and have a higher chance of getting into college. Extracurriculars are a great way to improve a student's life, and every student should want to make their life as amazing as possible.

0F5879D60008,"Driverless cars have many advantages and disadvantages. A few advantages are easier transportation for older people, handicapped and mentally challanged, also there will less accidents once the cars are completely driverless. Some disadvantages are how expensive the cars are with all the new technology and mechanics all around will have to learn an entirely new method of fixing cars.
The transportation of older people, the handicapped and mentally challanged will be one of the greatest triumphs. Once a person gets old, their senses deteriorate causing them to drive slower and possibly cause accidents. With the handicapped it will give them the feeling of driving again, more so with people who have lost their ability to walk and can not transport themselves. Finally, with the mentally challanged, they will experiance driving themselves without causing danger to other people and will not have to completely rely on their parents or care taker to tote them around everywhere. With the driverless cars, the new technology will make it safer for these types of people to get around and still have others around be safe as well.
On the other side of the spectrum though, there are many disadvantages to having driverless cars. One being, the cars will be very expensive, they have so much new technology that goes into them and so many safety features. The price will set many back from trying to buy one and what would be the use if only the people who did not need them, had them? Next, many mechanics will have to learn a brand new method of fixing driverless cars, more so all the types of sensors and trackers. The learning process can take many months to someone who needs it fixed right now and will set many other from trying to be a mechanic.
To end off with, there will be fewer accidents once driverless cars are all around. The sensors will take away the need for the driver to stopgo and yeild to tother vehicles and pedestrians. This will be a big leap from how many accidents we have each year and revent untimely deaths. This is also big for people who text and drive or drink and drive. The risk for drinkers and texters is greatly reduced if not prevented from driverless cars.
Finally, the driverless cars has multiple advantages as well as multiple disadvantages. many advantages are old people, hanicapped, and mentally challanged have a way to get around and fewer accidents.

29F61F8EACF0,"When people go to others for help they often are strugiling with a important decision or a tragity. They might go to the people they know best, or a theripist or teacher. Another reason to go to multiple people for advice could be that one person may be better at giving advice than others. If someone gives you bad advice it could make you go down the wrong path or make the wrong decision. You should only go to people you can trust for advice becuase they will give you what would help you specificaly.
When asking for advice, going to multiple people for the same question could give you different answers that you could pick and chose from to find what would be most helpful for your situation. For example, when I ask for advice I might go to a parent, a friend, a teacher, and a guidance councler with the same question. With the information I had gathered I could decide what would be most useful for me. When I was applying for my highschool classes, I asked my mom to help me, I asked my highschool sister what she would recomend, I asked the guidince councler, and I asked my peers. With the information I had recieved, I chose the classes that I thought would be most suitable for me.
If someone is suffering from a tragity like the loss of a family member, freind, or pet advice could be very important and could really help change the way they are feeling about the matter at hand. When my dog passed away a few weeks ago, I went to multiple different people for help. Everyone I talked to was very supportive and made me feel better about the situation. without going to multiple people I might not have been able to recover from the incident as quickly as I have been able to.
If you are ever strugiling with loss are a decition getting help could be very benificial. It worked for me many times in the past, and it has helped many of the people I know.

FF410031A764,"Does your school have extracurricular activities? Are you in any of them? Most schools in America have extracurricular activities on or off school grounds. The problem is that more than 50 percent of students dont engage in those activities. My principal wants that to change he is making extracurricular activities mandatory and i agree. 3 reasons are extracurricular activities can be fun, they give students a wider career path, and they can keep students open minded. I will explain why extracurricular activities can be fun, how they widen students career paths, and how they keep students open minded.
For my first reason, extracurricular activities can be fun. For example when i first entered sixth grade i had nothing to do. I was not in any sports and i wasnt engaged in extracurricular activities. That all changed when my friend convinced me to join soccer, my life changed for the better. I never knew how fun soccer was and i probably never would have if it wasnt for him. Students think that just because somthing looks boring it is boring, that is not always true and it can be the exact opposite.
For my second reason, extracurricular activities can widen a student career path. It can happen in two ways, the student discovers they have a hidden talent or they can find somthing they really like to do. When i was in seventh grade i had a friend who was really good at photography. You would never see him or his camera seperated from each other. So one day i told him about the yearbook club and he thought it would be great if he joined. He was so good at it he became the vice-president of the club within weeks. Ever since that day he has tried to get a career in photography.
For my third and final reason, extracurricular activities can keep students open minded. For example when i was in fifth grade my school got a number of sports introduced to it and tennis was one of them. I was already into basketball and i was never interested in tennis. I played basketball at home and not at school so when the school said all students must pick one sport i picked basketball. They didnt let me because there was already to many people so i picked tennis. I did not want to try somthing new but i didnt have a choice. When i went to my first practice i loved it, I never thought it would be this fun. Being in a new sport really made me experience somthing else and from that day i ws never afraid to change.
People may disagree but extracurricular activities are amazing. I explained how they can be fun, how they can change students career paths, and they can keep students open minded. Many people dont know how fun it is to be in an extracurricular activity and i encourage people to join one. now you know why i agree with our principal and how his opinion can change people for the better.",,508,Mandatory extracurricular activities,Independent,"Your principal has decided that all students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity.

4F2C6D1D9AF1,"I agree with the principle because it can relive stress, helps the school and teachers and lastly helps you out as well. I agree that every student should participate here is why. It could relive stress because there are stress free activities to do like drawing writing things in your journal or anything else that makes you relive stress. It helps the school you are in by doing the yearbook you would help teachers and staff members because they would have to do it because there is a team of students doing it already. Teachers would be closer to the students and bond and also know will also know there student a lot more.
If you are planning to play sports for the school if you win a major game or a championship your school will be said and many people would either want to go there after what they saw or they could see how your school is for education and go there. If you are talented at a sport or activity or hobby colleges might start looking to see if they want you. For example if you are very artistic and can draw very well a art school might want to take there offer for ten thousand yearly. Or if you are best in the football team and can throw far and catch colleges want you or even better they will give you a scholarship so that you could go there college for free for 4 years. That was only a couple of examples on what could happen.
It could help you in the future. You could make friends in these activities they could become your soul mate be your best friend until the end they could help you when your down or they can even become wealthy ans share there riches with you. It will prepare you for the future. It could be practice for a job you might want like for example the yearbook is practice for the newspaper. Or football on a high school team could be practice for the NFL. You could find a new hobby you might think you like drawing but when you try it you might like it. Those are some ways these activities could help your future or better prepare you for the future.
Its helpful to the school and staff and fun for the students. We could be closer as a school because everyone in the school will have a part to do if your in any class. More activities could be made because more people would ask for a certain activity to be made. since everyone is doing something we could ask if we could get more things like no homework for a day. Its not harmful unless you are doing a dangerous sport like football,soccer baseball and more. So everyone could a part in helping the school.
Others might say its a waste of time because not everyone wants to do it or wants to be a part of it. I personally think its a great idea but some people dont have the time or energy to do it. Its mainly meant so that everyone knows each other and that the students and teachers or students and staff memebers would be closer as well. My final thought about this whole thing is that its a great idea but not everyone it suited to do it and it would take a lot of work to get everyone to do it.

I do believe that community service is important but I do not support the idea of forcing students to perform community service. Yes, it cleans up the environment but not all students or kids are interested in doing community service. Most children believe that that's why we have Garbage men to pick up our trash on a certain day of the week. Those who have time on their hands and perform community service to help our world become a better place that's good for them and we are pleased to know that we have citizens that care about the kind of world we live in. Some or I'm sure that most children do not care to help the environment, they might choose to go hangout with friends or play video games. As for the children who do not perform community service, you should at least conserve water, recycle plastic bottles and aluminum cans. When you litter , you're not making the world you live in a better place. You are polluting the own world you live in and breathe from. The principal should create a program to help save the environment and to keep our oceans and the oxygen we breathe, clean.

EA4E657091C9,"You should join to help and say I helped that country. I think you should because there are things you have and other people don't. I also think that it should almost be a requirement to help people to go to heaven. I think alot of things should because I am like that.
I think a lot about others believe it or not. I love other people and apparently Luke did also. He understands the true meaning of love. He even knew it was an opportunity of a lifetime to help people in Africa,Asia,Haiti, and other places like that he had to understand that time is too valuable and other people give that time away to you to make you a better person and he is using it that way. Not saying this is all good there is downs too. Every rose has its thorns.
It is a lot of time that people spend with others. It was better for Luke I think because he was a good person. He had a heart of steel to make himself not say no to miss out on people in his family to go help other families. I think that was the best thing to do for anybody. He missed his mom,dad,aunt,brother/sister,nephew/neices,and his other friend to go help other people. Which makes me wonder if he's a Mason.
I know that he had to miss out because that was so much time taken up ,not wasted but taken up. He spent 2 weeks on each trip and then did it 16 more times! Reasons not ot would be. You could die in fog. I'm not sayin I wouldn't go but I wouldn'tlike to have the thought of dying in my brain. I bet more than once or twice he thought of dying and cried.
I know I would go but I wouldn't go 16 times because of the fact. There are sharks,squid,octopi,and plenty of other animals. The oceans are the most unexplored places on earth. People die millions of times a year because of the ocean and I have a high paranoia level so my paranoia would keep me on my toes. I would be so scared at times. There are 60 foot sharks named megalodons and can swallow me whole. There are plesiosaurs confirmed in the pacific. There is a six gilled shark that is 20 feet long. almost all sharks can taste a drop of blood 400 yards away. If they swim underneath a boat with 335 horses and 1 of 335 is bleeding or in labor. (the tissues and blood)I would die. I would probably have a heart attack.
I can't stand my paranoia. My friend was going to let a train go over him to prove he wasn't scared but I put a little paranoia in him because under a train gets hot enough to crystalize a rock and make it look like silver. What would it do to my friend. Back to the water.
Plesiasours started as lizards. Lizards have a third eye. It senses changes in lighting. Ripples and vibrations shift lighted areas. Horses make alot of noise and stomp alot. Stomping causes vibrations.
I was swimming in a river and I thought about rivers monsters when a log touched my legs I freaked out! I swam as fast as I could screaming ""jeremy wade jeremy wade""I was out of the water and on my grandpas house boat. I said hit the sand dam. From then and on I never went past clear water.
I don't think about stuff like look down its a log or stuff like that. I almost pee my pants when I see a spider. I think its because of me watching national geographic channel everyday and knowing what every animal does and how it hurts you.
I thought one time a jamaican cockroach could kill me .At the time I was three or four. My finger now was about as long as this cockroach. it stood up and it ran towards me. I was in my moms work and there were alot of animals there so I ran into the pig room. That was the day I figured out my mom would get me a mexican rat.

Your principal has decided that all students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity. Do you agree or disagree with this decision?""
Extracurricular activities are some ways that students use their free time after school. On average, about 65% of all in students in Virginia participate in a extracurricular activity such as a sport, club etc.. I think that all students should participate in one extracurricular activity because it will help students with their college applications, students can find new interests, and students can meet new people.
Firstly, it will help students have a better, stronger, college application. Extracurricular activities are a strong factor on college applications. According to one of the admission officers at Harvard University,
""students are 10x more likely to get into an ivy league or higher ranked university, if he/she has more extracurriculars on their application.""
Many colleges like to see extracurriculars on an application, rather than not.
Second, students are gonna be able to find new interests. Students are more likely gonna find their passion for something if they do an extracurricular. Helping students find their passion in something can help them take classes with their interests and help them improve in that skill set required for their passion. In my experience, having extracurriculars helped me find interest for many of the things I love today.
Lastly, extracurricular activities can help students meet new people. Meeting new people is probably the best part of doing extracurricular activities. Extracurriculars are good for students to meet others that share the same interests as them. For example students who tend to be more quieter and to themselves can have an easier time opening up to new people they've met if they like the same thing, and this can lead to them creating lifelong friendships with them.
Conclusively, helping students with their college applications, students finding their passion, and helping students meet new people are reasons why principals should require an extracurricular activity amongst all students. These extracurriculars can benefit a students school, and social life in a positive way. Requiring students to do an extracurricular of their interest can lead them to enjoying arriving and being at school more than before. Extracurriculars can also highly affect a students future in many positive ways.",,367,Mandatory extracurricular activities,Independent,"Your principal has decided that all students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity.

You can hear other peoples opinions and get new ideas of what to do and things that you should not do from hearing other peoples experiences.
Listening to other people for advice can help you find new ways to do something. Lets say you need help to build a porch. You are asking your friends for advice on how to build a porch. Most of them said to use nails to build the porch when you were using screws. You tried the screws to build the porch which did not work. You use your friends advice and use nails which leads you to actually building the porch. If you hadn't asked for all of their opinions you might have never thought of using nails.
Asking for multiple opinions can also help you decide what would lead you to a better outcome. Lets say you need help with on how to greet someone. You ask multiple people to greet them with a smile or with a frown. Most of them said a smile because when someone greets you with a smile it makes you feel happy and welcome. The people that said a frown said they had a bad experience and made the person uncomfortable. You go along with the smile and end up making a new friend because you greeted them with a smile.
Asking for multiple advice may just make life easier and help you move forward. Lets say you were debating to do your homework that is worth five points.

068F206FE4F8,"Dear Principal,
I think that the new regulation of only being able to participate in sports or other after school activities if you have at least a b average is a good idea. Kids need to get there grades up and in high school you are not allowed to be on a team unless you keep up your grades so teaching them to do that know is a grate idea. That way by the time we get to high school we will be used to that staidly of only being able to do the other activities if we keep our grades up to standard.
Another good thing about this policy is that less kids will be goofing off during class and more will be concentrated on there work and studies so that they will get at least a b average so that they can be able to do the things that they would like. More kids will make principles honor roll or even just honor roll and will be able to take higher classes because they are keeping there grades up.
That will also better prepare us for the rest of our life. When we are looking to go to collage most collages want people with better grades than a c average so because of this rule we will start getting into the habit of getting those good grades and hopefully that will carry on with us threw out high school and even on. Once we go on and get a job we will ( or at least most of us) still have the same work ethic and will work hard and do well. Instead if this was never a rule some of us would have never had to try to get a better than a c average or have a better work ethic.

504FFF4C522D,"Phones and driving
Distracted drivers kill one in ten people everyday in the United States and injure 1500. Texting is one of the main distractions that cause these drives to kill and injure people. While texting you aren't focused on things that matter like the road and that causes these types of accidents to happen. People don't realize how serious this is, the driver might lose control of the car and their reaction time won't be fast enough. In 2011, accidents involving a distracted driver killed 3,331 people.
Habits like texting and driving are important to break. An example of a simple solution to this problem is to simply turn off your phone, it will block out buzzers or vibrations that will tempt anyone to check their phone. Many states in the United States have already passed the no texting and driving law. People still believe that texting and driving is no big deal and have confidence they can text and drive simultaneously. However. Lots of teens spend 15% of their time not in their lane.
With the advanced technology we have today, we should be using voice activated responses and apps to tell people when someone is driving and they'll get to them shortly. Preventing texting and driving can be a simple problem to overcome but very difficult. But if everyone works hard to make it happen we could be saving many lives everyday. If the situation is so important to put someone else's life in danger then why drive at all? Because in reality one text or call could wreck it all.

0E24F8C90CFB,"Some students may think that taking classes online is the best thing for them. Meanwhile, the other half of students think going to school suits them the most. I think students would benefit from being able to attend classes from home, because it would be easier for them to stay focused, give themselves as much time as possible, and get to know what the best and correct choice is for them.
Majority of the time kids struggle focusing in a class full of friends and strangers, which causes them to lose focus in the assignments they're given and start having conversations with other classmates. Some know that they're the type of person that can't keep their mind in one certain place, so their minds wonder off into a whole different planet. Meanwhile the other half of students know that they're capable of staying focused no matter what the situation is. Doing work online though, prevents all of that from happening. It gives students time to think about what exactly it is that they're doing and need to get done, and prevent any mistakes from happening on a certain task or assignment. Staying focusing is very important, if students stay focused then they'll get things done in time or even done before the actual due date or time, and not have to worry about doing it later on.
Giving them enough time as possible to get tasks done is important. Most teachers will give you a certain time limit to get things done, which of course will cause them to get it done in the certain amount of time they were given so that they get it all done as quick as possible. Online on the other hand, can also have certain due dates and times that you have to turn work in but you're more relaxed and calm about things because you have more time in your hand and can think things more in depth, instead of just having to think of things right out of the top of their heads. Doing things on their own time and paste is best for any student, they can find it easier to concentrate and don't have to think oh no I still haven't finished this, or it's almost time to hand it in but i'm barely done with the first section.
As students spend more time alone, they sometimes tend to think about what's best for them as an individual. Some might say that, they work better independently, because they know they aren't able to handle being around other students 24/7, losing their ability to focus, or just hate being around people in general because they know what others are capable of. Whereas, other students may think the opposite and feel like they can work being around other people no matter what type of situation they're in. Just working alone can get them to really go in some deep thinking about what's the best descision for them and know what's going to be the best choice in the future or even in the present.
In conclusion, I think attending classes from home has plenty of benefits, like giving students more time to think, having a lot more time to focus, and getting to know whats best for them. Just imagine being in a class full of 100 students everyday, all talking at the same exact time and yelling across the classroom trying to get friends attention, what would you do?

Google's driverless cars have been driving since 2009 under specific conditions. The cars have driven more than half a million miles without a single crash. Even though Google's smart cars are truly driverless yet they still have not been in a car crash. If a drunk person where to drive a normal car most likely that person would crash and hurt or kill themselves and people around them but if they were to be in a driverless car the car would just drive the person home with no problem. I believe if more people were to buy these cars when they come out then the amount of car crashes would go down.
These cars would be more useful. With letting the person in the car do something else while the car is driving. It would allow people to get things done while the car is driving for you. This car will be very useful.
With theses reasons and more I believe that people should be supporting the development of these facinationg cars. The smart cars will improve the public transportation system, there would be less crashes, less people dying nad geting hurt, the cars would be more helpful.

Although this topic is an on-going debate I do not believe that drivers should be able to use their cellular devices to a certain extent whie driving. What I mean by this statement is that drivers should be able to use their phones if a gps is needed, however only with a phone holder in the car. Also, people should be able to make urgent calls here is three reasons why i think people shouldnt be able to use their cellphones because you can cause traffic collision. Also, it puts not only the driver in danger but other drivers also. Its also ilegal to be on the phone while your driving. The government made a new law the hands free law.
The hands free law is a new law in the united states the hand free law is all drivers operating a moving vehicle on any highway of the state are prohibited from holding an electronic device while driving. Also, NO TEXTED WHILE DRIVING! Another one is no watching videos, movies and etc while driving. If you break a law their are always fines that you would have to pay so if its your first time breaking the hands-free law the fine is $50.00 the second time you break this law the fine will be $100.00.

Sometimes humans can show many emtions and we might not know whet they are for example there ar ethe simple emtions such is happy, excited, sad, anger, but then there are other emmtions where it might be mixed like happy but sad or angry and sad and sometimes emtions we might not even know what they are and that when the Facs comes in to see what emtion someone might be feeling. There can also be a hiddin emtion within someone when someone might seem happy they might show it on the outside but in the inside they are probly feeling another emotion. One way Facs can be very helpful is by knowing wether that person is going thru some stuff for example a person could be thinking about commiting suicide but nobody would know until their facial expression shows that and it might not be a sad facial expression it could be a diffrent one but with the Facs it would be able to tell someone right away what emotion they are feeling.

I'm STUDENT_NAME
I really think that student should be able to bring their cell phones to school during lunch time. When class start i think the cell phones need to be in the locker or if they don't have a locker they can turn them off while in class.
Because after school some kids walk home by their self and need a cell phone to call someone to watch them or pick them up. Cause a lot is happening these days its not safe like it use to be. I think long as they keep their phone off it will be ok. Or either they put them on vibration it will be cool or give it to a teacher so they can pay more attention.
Or they can keep them on but make sure they really low cause ring tones can mess up your mind while you or make you forget what you was going to put down for a answer for a problem. Then if a student don't do what is told they get their cell phone took and a call home. I really think that going work instead of a student trying to be on their phone during lunch or even class. Some students don't feel right without their phone cause they got to walk home or a rapist stay down by the school or down the rode from them. I have a cell phone cause a rapist stay down the rode from me and he be everywhere in you don't see him sometimes. So some parents want their kids with a cell phone cause they don't see the worst.

43A4DCBC26BB,"Imagine if all students participated in an extracurricular activity. That's a crazy thought, but also a very intelligent one. A huge population of students do go to after school clubs and sports, but what about the ones who don't because they are to shy and don't have many friends. If the principal is making all students participate in after school activities it will be an excellent idea because, students will find new friends, the clubs will keep students active and off their phones, and they can learn new things and experience new activities.
First off, since all students have to participate in after school clubs then they can make new friends. If they see someone not talking to anyone then they can go over and introduce themselves. Students will also be able to hangout with friends they already have. This would be really awesome for kids who are shy. Having to do a club will get them out of their comfort zone and push them to make new friends. The next thing is, getting to go to these activities will keep students active and off their phones. Most adults would say students are like bears in hibernation. Once they go into their rooms they don't come out unless they need food. Now students won't be sitting inside they will be able to get out of the house. No phones will be allowed so students won't have their eyes glued to the screen for any longer than they should. This idea will also keep students thinking about other things than social media. They won't have time to worry about if their new post got more likes than their friends post. Lastly, they can learn and experience new things. In sports they can learn to cooperate with a team, and work on their sportsman ship. Having to do a club will also help students find new interests. They could do a Science club and realize how much they love it when they see something explode into a puff of air with a big popping sound, or when an experiment makes a massive sticky and disgusting mess. Having to do a club will also help students learn more about working. Instead of sitting at home having their parents do everything for them, they will learn how to do it themselves.
In conclusion, if the principal is making all students participate in an after school activity it's going be a grand idea because, students will make new friends, they will be active and away from their phones, and they will be able to learn and experience new activities. Not every student is going to agree with this because they would rather play on their phone or computer, but if the principal really enforces this idea then it will happen. A flaw in this plan is that students might not show up and never come to any of the meetings and activities. Yes this is something that could be an issue, but if the teachers in charge of the clubs gave out consequences for students who continued to skip every meeting without an excused absence, than this will work.

7DBD4EBDC0E6,"Phones and Driving
The use of phones has grown tremendously to the point that people feel as if they can't survive without them. It's bad to know that our phones are becoming more and more of our lives and that people can't take their attention off of them for minutes while they are on the road. I personally don't think people should be able to use phones while driving because it delays everything as in the way people drive how they are at stop lights and all of that. Many bad things have come from people driving and texting so I dont think it should happen that people can excess phones while driving.
There are many delays when people are on their phones. If they drive you can pretty much tell if they are on them because, it will show they will sit at the stop light longer even after the light turns green and they drive slower. You have to remember to when you are driving like this it puts others at risk of kids if they are playing and you don't see them because you are on the phone it will put them at danger if you do something. A lot of drivers that do this don't think of it as a risk because it benefits them but it truly is because, its putting every one in danger including them because their attention is altered and the person in front of them may make a sudden change.
I was looking at a document and it said that texting and driving is comparable to drinking under the influence if not worse and I could see that because when they are on the phone they swerve and slow down and their attention isn't on the road at all. People who are texting while driving are 23% more likely to crash their cars. This percentage is equivalent to that of the average person who has drunk four beers and then began to operate a car which is scary because, I am on the road pretty much everyday and to know that these people are out there too is terrible. If phones are worse than drinking I feel that it should be illegal to be on your phone while driving because, it is illegal to drink and drive so this should be too.
In conclusion, I don't agree with being on your phone while driving is right and it should be banned. A lot of bad outcomes can come from a person being on their phone. It's very sad to think about what could happen. People have kids and still drive with them for example my cousin does it and it's sad that she can put her selfish needs to the side for one minute to focus on the road so her and her baby can get to where they need to go safely. My mom always says I think about myself and others which is good because I always analyze everything for everyone and I want everyone to be good so if I need to get off my phone for a few mins for a safer drive I am fine with that.

Some people would even say it is the best way that we can all get an education, but it does not work for everyone.
It has been stated time after time that we are all different from one another, but does the traditional system actively support our differences?
For some students, learning from a home environment can be beneficial because it takes away the pressuring environment of school, as well as providing parents with a better understanding of what their child is learning and how well they are doing.
Learning from a home environment can be beneficial because it takes away most of the social pressure associated with school.
Bullying at school is mostly unavoidable in our traditional school system.
Even though the traditional system encourages our students to speak up when they are being bullied, not everyone speaks up.
Although online bullying is another real issue that many students face today, it can be easily shut out by limiting the use of social media if the student is at home most of the day.
Technological learning can provide parents with a better understanding of what their child is learning and how well they are doing academically.
With the student at home most of the day, parents have a better understanding of not only what their child is learning, but their preferred learning style as well.

C641540D00F1,"Driverless cars were bound to be coming soon. Can you even imagine a time in the future where you don't have to drive your own car? As time aged so did our technology by getting more vast and advanged. I am very against the new development of these new cars because I think they're not safe at all. A human should alsway have to drive on their own because anything couple happen. One minutue with your eyes off the road, a sensor being read wrong, alerts not going off like supposed too, or even the wrong alert going off. There are even many differen't laws that were pasted in different states to not allow driverless cars. You just never know what could go wrong and you'll simply have no control over what happens.
Driverless cars sound like a pretty cool idea right? Just think about it a driverless car? No way right?
You don't have to be contol over the wheel at all times. You can just sit back and let the car do what it's supposed to do. Eating breakfast on the way to work in the moring instead of wasting time at home. There countless amazing reason why this would sound like a marveless idea but then again you have to sit back and think about you and everyone else around you saftey.
Technology will always need a humans help for anything. Think about your phone wouldn't opperate without you assistance, computer, even a stero the list goes on and on. Think about your car driving by itself, what if you take your eyes off the wheel for about thirty senconds thinking your okay to grab something out the back seet real quick. Then something with the car went wrong? The you most likly would be ending up in an accident. Just for taking your eyes off the road for juts thirty senconds. Think about back into the stories it says to get the driver's attention quickly is to vibrate the drivers seat or flashing lights on the windshield to alert the driver but what if the driver doesn't have a quick respond like right away? Then boom, you crash and now you want to blame the manufactoring company. It woul just be better if you were awear on what's going on, on your own.
Technology isn't always perfect like just like humans, they tend to malfunction here and there. Looking back into the stories it talks about sensors being out on the cars. Have it ever came across your mind if a sensor read wrong? For expample, your pulling out of a parking spot and your car doesn't alert you fast enough that there is a car coming and the other car isn't paying attention. Now whose fault would that be? You'd blame the manufactoring company even if it was probaly your fault. It would just be a better idea to not put yourself in that situation.
People in other states are still waiting for the law to be passed like California, Nevada, Flordia, and many more. They're not even allowed to do test driving and stuff like we do everywhere else that's legal. They made it illegal for a very good reason and I believe it should stay that way. There are too many poeple on the road driving everyday and they would like to feel safe. They don't want something going wrong with the cars and accident everyday. They're doing fine with regular cars now, just be better off if everyone stayed that way.
You always have to be thinking about the poeple around you instead of just yourself. The car might be driving smart but poeple drive like idots. Think hard about your safety before getting these cars. There not a one hundred percent guarentee. Yeah the cars sound like a really good idea and a fun new way of driving but it coould be really danergous as well. Therefore, you have to put your saftey and anyone elses safety first.

That president would lose the elecetion even though he technicallly had the most votes. We should change the process into popular votes for the president.

In source 1, ""In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars,"" residents of the ""upscale community"" of Vauban, Germany, have become ""suburban pioneers"" and ""have given up their cars."" Although in many cities around the world it is unimaginable to give up your cars, it has become increasingly beneficial towards the environment and community. It is said to be ""a huge impediment to current efforts to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions from tailpipes,"" as cars are responsible for ""12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe, and up to 50 percent in some car-intensive areas in the United States."" Planners are now taking the concept to ""suburbs"" where ""stores are placed a walk away, on a main street, rather than in malls along some distant highways,"" thus making the car-banning residential friendly, and environmentally helpful. Not only will the limiting usage of cars be beneficial towards the community, it will also be beneficial towards your mental health as said by Heidrun Walter who stated ""When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way.""
In source 2, ""Paris bans driving due to smog,"" residents of Paris are also seeing increasing advantages ""after days of near-record pollution"" when Paris ""enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city."" within ""five-days of intensifying smog,"" ""congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of France."" If five-days can have a significant beneficial impact, imagine what a month can do, or a year, or even a decade towards the restoration of the environment.
Similar to the previous cities in the sources mentioned, Bogota also participates in a ""car-free day"" as stated in source 3, ""Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota,"" where ""millions of Colombians hiked, biked, skated or took buses to work,"" ""leaving the streets of this capital city eerily devoid of traffic jams."" In this ""Day Without Cars"" campaign, ""the goal is to promote alternative transportation and reduce smog,"" and its goal is being reached. By banning the usage of cars ""it's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution,"" said businessman Carlos Arturo Plaze. Along with many other advantages such as the ""blooming"" of ""parks and sports centers"" ""throughout the city; uneven, pitted sidewalks have been replaced by broad, smooth sidewalks; rush-hour restrictions have dramatically cut traffic; and new restaurants and upscale shopping districts have cropped up,"" as stated in the article.
Last but not least, in source 4, ""The End of Car Culture,"" ""recent studies"" have shown that ""Americans are buying fewer cars, driving less and getting fewer licenses as each year goes by,"" and ""if this pattern persists... it will have beneficial implications for carbon emissions and the environment."" With a decreasing amount of citizens driving, Bill Ford, executive chairman of the Ford Motor Company, has ""led out a buisness plan"" that will ""create cities in which pedestrian, bicycle, private cars, commercial and public transportation traffic are woven into a connected network to save time, conserve resources, lower emissions and improve safety."" The decreased usage of cars will have an everlasting positive impact on the environment.
In conclusion, although living in a world free of cars is a world many of us can never dream of, it has shown to lead to significant advantages towards traffic, pollution, and the overall community, which can be seen in the cities; Vauban, Germany, Paris, France, Bogota, Columbia and the United States -- as stated in the sources ""In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars,"" ""Paris bans driving due to smog,"" ""Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota,"" and ""The End of Car Culture.""

In the article it states that ""Each previous mission was unmanned, and for good reason, since no scapecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours"" (2). Also it exclaimed that the ""temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet"" and ""Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar system"" (3). So it is very hard and dangous to send any kind of big technology to Venus, without it getting destroyed; let alone sending a human and explecting them to make it out alive. Even if we were able to send a probe to Venus, the article explains that ""Venusian geology and weather present additional impediments like erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lighting strikes"" (3). While there are thousands of reasons for NACA scientists to give up on finding information on the planet of Venus, they still are trying new ways to make it up there, despite the dangers.
Scientists find it crucial to continue in their research, for several reasons. The main reason is becuase, ""Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of size, and occasionally the closest in distance too"" (2). Which makes it important to use Venus to learn more about our own planet. ""The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters"",which is one of the reasons it is so earth like (4). Also it is important to learn more about Venus becuase we currently contain little knowlege about Venus becuase ""researches cannot take samples of rock, gas, or anything else, from a distance"" (6). For these reasons it is important for NACA and other scientists across the world to continue to try and gain a more vast arae of information.
In conclution, while Venus has presented many obsticles for scientists to get around, they find the prize of great value. Although Venus is extremly hard to explore because of its ruff teraine and extreme temperatures. Scientists find it to be of great value because of its Earth like appeal and its unknown information. Therefore, scientists and NACA will continue to atempt to gain more data on the planet of Venous despite the dificulties.

25269EB7FE0D,"Dear Principle,
I believe that all students should be given the privilege of being able to use their phones during lunch. As long as we do not use them during the day and turned them off it would be no distraction the class or the teacher trying to teach it. This should be a good policy because it would not be distracting, it is a good way of talking to our friends, and it would get rid of the need to move table to table to talk to all of your friends.
Cell phones would not be distracting during lunch because the lunch room is loud enough as it is, it would not disturb anyone. You cannot distract anyone lunch because they are talking to their own friends and not paying attention to anyone else.
Furthermore, the only thing to do at lunch is eat and socialize with your friends and that what you would be doing when texting. It is the same thing.
Furthermore, cell phones should be allowed at lunch because it is a more efficient and convenient way of talking to our friends. This would decrease the unnecessary yelling and overall loudness of the room. Therefore, making it easier on the staff, lunch ladies, and student.
Lastly, cell phones would be a good thing for us and everyone during lunch. because it would get rid of having to go back and forth from tables to talk with your peers. Most lunch staff find this annoying for reasons i do not know, but if we were capable of texting each other we would have no reason or excuse to do this.
Cell phones during the day would be a serious distraction to everyone in a learning environment because of the ringing, buzzing, and irritating sound of your fingers typing in words. However, it would benefit everyone if we had access to our phone during our free period of time.

If one person tells you to do something but 10 others tell you not to do it you're more likely to listen to what the 10 people say instead. Me personally i think it helps to ask more than one person too see what everyone else thinks because people think way different than eachother so most of them are going to have something else to say. When just one person gives you advice they could have to clue what they're talking about and you would probably think they're right because its the only person you have asked.

When you are driving for a long period of time your legs will eventually get tired and you will have to stop at rest station.

DC430F1F553A,"My principal has decided that all students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity. Some of those things students can do is sports, work on the school yearbook,and serve on student council. I agree on this choice because it can help students in many ways such as making friends, having fun, and can look good on college papers. Those are only some of the reasons extracurricular activities are helpful.
Being in extracurricular activities can make it easy to make friends. One example of this is when i joined soccer, i didnt know anyone so i had to make new friends. That helped me become much less nervous around them. so i can now joke and hang around them instead of feeling left out. Making friends can also help with having fun.
Having fun can come from making friends just like i did. One example of this is when i play soccer i can have a fun time with my friends as we win games. I liked being able to have fun with my friends at soccer because it helped build teamwork and a fun experience i will never forget. Another benefit of having fun and friends is it can look good for college.
Doing extracurricular activities can help with college too. Extracurricular activities can help you go to college by giving you scholarships for things like Wrestling, Baseball, Football, and American football. These scholarships can get you into colleges for free as long as you are in a sport or, they have a set amount of year you can use that scholarship.

The Electoral College are the votes that elect the President depending on the majority votes. The Electoral College should be kept because it induces the candidates, it restores some of the weight that large states loses, and avoids the problem in which the candidate recieves the majority of the votes.
To begin with, the Electoral College should be kept since it induces the candidates. for example, to many of candidates are running for President. People don't know on who to vote on. The Electoral College eliminates most of those candidates. "" Voters in toss-up states are more likely to pay close attention to the campaign- to really listen to the competing candidates."" (Source 3) People want to know what these candidates offer to them. They want to vote for the best candidate. When they vote, the Electoral College decides on the majority vote of the state. The Electoral college should be kept since it induces the candidates.
Furthermore, the Electoral College should be kept since it restores some of the weight that large states lose. For example, since there are big states, there is political problems in what the people want. Large states have a lot of voters. The Electoral College should be kept since it restores weight to the large states.
Finally, the Electoral College should be kept since it avoids the problem in which the candidate recieves the majority of the votes.

9608614D166E,"About a month ago, I had a chat with my friend during play rehearsal about her distance learning. She had been absent from classes since first quarter, but would show up for almost every rehearsal; after I was certain it wasn't my imagination, I decided to confront her about it: ""Where have you been?"" I asked, ""I noticed you haven't been in Musical Theatre class, but you still show up here. Is something wrong?"" She laughed and told me that nothing was wrong, and she was just distance learning. Her response prompted me to ask her several questions about how that would work. Admittedly, I was a bit skeptical of it at first, but I quickly learned that learning from home has its benefits! Many students would benefit from distance learning.
In my little interview with my friend, I learned why she personally began attending classes from home: near the beginning of the school year, she became very overwhelmed by the workload it brought and began having severe panic attacks, sending her into a downward spiral that prevented her from getting her schoolwork done. Fortunately, school administrators recognized this and recommended she try distance learning. She was glad they did, because up to the day of our conversation, she had been learning from home ever since, only going to school occasionally to take tests or submit projects that couldn't be submitted online. She told me that she benefited from taking most of her classes at home, because she didn't have to face the pressure of keeping up with her classmates, for she could just learn at her own pace. This allowed her to focus on her work and enjoy coming to school for rehearsal; she and school administrators expected that by April, she wouldn't need to stay at home anymore.
Something she told me that really amazed me was the fact that my friend was doing great in Musical Theatre. I didn't think distance learning would be beneficial for the class, because most of it is performances and workshops, where students learn ensemble numbers, workshop each other's audition pieces, and perform those auditions in front of the class. The fact that my friend was taking Musical Theatre from home goes to show that, even for a class so dependent on the presence of other people, students can still perform well while learning a majority of the curriculum in someplace other than a classroom (or, in the case of a Musical Theatre class, a black box).
My friend helped me realize that distance learning is more useful than it may seem. For example, even if it is helpful to be taught by a teacher in-person, I may find it difficult to keep up with lectures or notes, because of distracting friends, cold classrooms, and the inability to go to the bathroom whenever I want. Sometimes I need more time to process the topic for the day, or I may need to relearn the material in a room where I can adjust the thermostat. These are all benefits of learning at home!
People who don't have an official distance learning plan administrated to them still take advantage of the good work that comes from learning outside of the classroom. Chances are -- you already do that, whenever you spend your time at home to review your notes again, ask your sibling for clarification, or watch some educational videos on YouTube. Distance learning, officially administrated plan or not, helps students like you, me, and my friend learn at their own paces and from the comfort of their homes.",,589,Distance learning,Independent,Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing.

131DA85211F7,"When looking for important advice you usually have a ""go to person"" and then multiple people around you that you ask what to do in the problem you are having. Talking with more than yourself, one other person, or five other people is an amazing thing to do because if you only talk to one person about your troubles than they may get annoyed with you or could be a fake friend. When you have more conversation with people are what you are think you can see both perspectives, you have more knowledge to what you are talking about, and lastly, improving your life skills. If you have something on your mind always look to talking with family and friends about it, even if you have different point of views.
You may not think about it all of the time but you are very bias to what you like including, food, drinks, pets, names, school, you name it. You can do it whenever, it is like asking someone if they like dogs or cats better, most people are quick to jump to the answer and that is bias towards the animal that they like better. When you talk to other people even that are not like you, you can see why other people like dogs or cats and their pro's to it. It's just like taking a poll in the classroom or bar graphing who is wearing a different type of shoe, but you are taking the knowledge and exporting it into your decision. So, next time talk to other people so your not bias and you get to see the positive and negative of your decision.
Have you ever heard of the quote ""The more you know the better you are off,"" Unknown. That quote is one-hundred percent true because you gain so much more brainpower when talking to others. Most adults when they are having a hard time deciding something they ask other adults, and that usually brings down the negative part. What they don't understand is when you ask a kid they can turn your idea into something brilliant that you may of never thought of. Taking to kids is even more smart idea to do when it is something fun because then you can bring their fun into your idea and make it more exciting. Next time don't just talk to people your age, talk to everyone around you.
There are so many skills you need for life out there you can't count them all. It just happens that communicating with people is a huge life skill. More outgoing people don't even blink at the option to go and talk to someone when shyer people need a little help, and seeking other peoples opinions during school or outside of it is a great way to get people out of their shell. Talking to someone is more then a life skill it is a everyday skill and that is why it is so greatly important. The best way to improve at it is to do it.
The next time you want advise talk to more than yourself, one other person, or even five people. While you don't need to go and talk to everyone off of the street or who you walk by you don't only want your thoughts in your head.

Maybe even reward them perhaps with a free one hundred or whatever you may have in mind. Don't you think that sounds a little bit more reasonable, Mr. Principal? For example, its three pm the students are just getting out of school to go clean the sides of the street. A student has three assignments he needs to complete before the end of tomorrow but he's stuck here cleaning until six-thirty pm and by the time he gets home its seven already and his parents tell him its time to start getting ready for bed. Now the student has three incomplete assignments that's three zeros and could cause him to fail for the six weeks, and its all because he had to perform community service. Just think, all the parents and conference meetings you will have to go through because of angry parents. Mr. Principal, please don't force our students into doing community service.

F2B0AA10A7C9,"Dear senator of Florida,
In my opinion of the Electoral College, I think we should keep it. Many people would most likely say I am wrong to think that way or I am just a kid and I have no idea what I am discussing, but I really think we should even though it has some flaws, here is my three reasons why.
First, it was established by our founding fathers. The ones who fought in battle against Britan. They sacerficed their lives to get us where we are today. Its not just a law, its what connects us to our ancestors and its what makes us unique from most nations voting systems today and back then.
Second, Though most will complain that we are not actually voting for president, but that we are putting our time and effort into voting for a slate of electors who then vote for president. Even though there is no rule against them not voting for the president of your choosing, most of them will vote for him since they are on his team and have pleged themselves to him. So really there is a very high chance of them voting for the president you want. I say they have done a very good job for such a stressing carrier.
Third, It has been going good so far. There are'nt wars taking place outside our homes like in some countries. Our Republican and Democratic parties are gracious in victory or humble in defeat. Yes there are some flaws in the system but thats just human nature. None of us are perfect and we never will be. We will make mistakes and we just got to live with them because there going to happen whether we like it or not.
This is my three major reasons why I think we should keep the Electoral College. I hope you found them intresting and will take the words to heart.

Image you are in a classroom and an emergency occurs, and there is no one else to help you, what do you do? This is why cell phones are important to have at school. I am writing this letter to explain the importance of cell phones at school. I hope you take time out of your busy day to read my letter and take it into consideration.
First off, cell phones are not cheap. students also treat them like it is there child. would go nowhere without them. This information, I feel can teach good parenting skill for later on in life. students should keep them off in school, but they should be able to care them around like little children they will be able to have once they reach adulthood
Secondly, cell phones are a great way to communicate. This is a great way for students to communicate with other students all over the school. This would help students with studying and would make sure that no student is left out by his or her self. cell phones can be a great boost to self-esteem all over the school. This would reduce the amount of bullying and would give kids a real chance to make good life friends.
Lastly, if a emergency where to happen to a student at school. Other kids would be able to call for held if needed and would even save a kids life.
If a student would have a cell phone without emergency contact number, then they should not even be aloud to have a cell phone in the first place. So say one of your kids had an accident at school wound' t you want the to contact you.

2945D26BEE91,"Bang! That was the sound of a drunk driver just hitting your car. Did you do anything wrong? No, but this guy did because he was under the influence while driving. So many people every year are killed in car accidents. Not only drunk driving but just driving mistakes by people. Do no let yourself feel guilty and miserable for the rest of your life because of one mistake you made. If you had a driverless car there are no mistakes to be made!
Driverless cars are the way to go. There are so many fantastic reasons why driverless cars are good, but I will just tell you the main points. For one of the most important features of all, SAFETY. Safety while driving is a huge concern in our society today. With people driving drunk or sedated or maybe people just make a driving mistake. Sure it happens but do you want that kind of guilt for the rest of your life? With this safety come a lot of things. One being your parents assurance. They no if you have a driverless car that you will be just fine because of the features it has. This puts less stress on them which is ALWAYS a good thing.
Less stress is always a good thing. Whether it is for your parents or if its for you. With the driverless car you can minimize your stress. One simple way is to get caught up on what you need to do while it is driving. Did not get enough sleep last night and are stressed you may have a bad day at school? Then take a nap on the way there and let the car do the driving. Maybe you forogt to do your homework or did not study for a test. With a driverless car it is very simple, you can get more stuff done!
You will always be able to get your stuff done with a driverless car. Lets say you had a rushed morning and could not get your daily breakfast in. Do not risk an accident by trying to eat and drive at the same time. Be a smart individual and have your car drive while you eat. You may also talk on the phone while your car is driving. You forgot to wish your sweet old grandma a happy birthday and are already in the car. With a driverless car it would be perfectly fine to call your grandma while the car is driving itself. One more reason is to enjoy the scenery. You may go on vacation and are driving through the Rocky Mountains. Why miss the great view and once in a lifetime experience? Have your driverless car drive while you soak up that view.
Driverless cars will be a lifetime experience. They will also save you money. I say this because they will not make mistakes like the average person. How many speeding tickets or objects have you backed into? The driverless car will not speed or make traffic mistakes. This being said means that there will be more money in your pocket.
With a driverless car mistakes will not be made. These low occurence of mistakes will not only save you money, but make the world we live in a safer place. Less percentage of wrecks would be a main statistic on why you should get a driverless car. Having a car that drives itself will prevent drunk driving and many traffic mistakes. Do not feel guilty for the rest of your life because of a common mistake or a bad decision. Go and purchase a driverless car and make the world a better place.",,607,Driverless cars,Text dependent,"In the article “Driverless Cars are Coming,” the author presents both positive and negative aspects of driverless cars.

ABF484B46756,"Imagine this: You are an adult looking back at your schooling experience. Were you in any clubs? If you were, chances are you have fond memories of that time. However, does that mean extracurricular activities should be required at school? Many people have strong opinions on the topic. Extracurricular activities should be required.
One reason why clubs should be required in school is that being in a club provides skills that are extremely helpful throughout life. According to Brian Scott, an expert on youth development at the University of Social Sciences, extracurricular activities in school are some of the best ways that the youth can prepare to enter the working world. Scott explains that this is true because after school activities give kids further experience with important skills such as communication and team work. Furthermore, a study conducted by the Department of Youth Development found that 87% of adults who participated in extracurricular activities in school thought that being in an extracurricular activity gave them skills that helped them later in life. One possible reason why extracurricular activities could have helped people after they have completed their schooling experience is that it gave them important skills and character traits such as perseverance or good communication. All things considered, extracurricular activities give those who participate quality life skills.
Another reason why after school activities should be required is that it gives the participants helpful experience. Evidence for this is found by the University of Statistics who conducted a study that found that 76% of people who were a part of extracurricular activities during their school experience thought that the experience from those clubs is helpful to them in their careers. Some ways that clubs can help in careers is it can give students experience in their chosen career path. Examples of clubs that are best at providing experience specific to future careers is the math club where students can participate in competitions or the newspaper club where students can practice for journalism. The experience students gain from joining extracurricular activities in school can also be helpful when applying to colleges, if students choose to go down that route. According to the board of applications for the prestigious College of Law, one of the top things they look for in an application is what extracurricular activities the applicant participated in while in school. One member even said, ""I value extracurriculars even more than the grade point average when I am decided who gets in."" As you can see, the experience gained from clubs in school has many benefits including college and job applications.
Another reason why extracurricular activities can be beneficial to students is that it gives students an opportunity to make new friends with similar interests. The Department of Youth Statistics stated that one of the best ways for students to make friends is by letting students choose what activities to do and pairing those with similar interests together. That is exactly what clubs do. Furthermore, it is proven by the University of Psychology that when students have a healthy amount of friends, they are less likely to fail their classes and more likely to succeed. Based on that, extracurricular activities can cause students to be more successful than their peers who do not partake in those activities.
However, some people argue that students should be able to choose whether or not they want to participate in extracurricular activities in school. They cite people such as Jessica Grant, a professor from the West Virginia University of Psychological Studies, who said, ""when people have a choice in what they do, they tend to feel the benefits much more than those who are forced to do something."" While that might be true, students who are required to participate in at least one extracurricular do have a choice in what club or clubs they join. That choice is explained well by Dr. Matthew Brown, a professor of psychology at the University of Washington State who said, ""even when students are required to participate in something -- either a class or an activity -- they still always have some sort of choice, whether that is what activity to do or what mindset to have."" Using both sets of logic previously stated, when the students choose what club to participate in, they will experience the largest amount of positive results.
All in all, a requirement in schools should be extracurricular activities. Clubs give students important life skills and experiences, as well as new friends. If clubs are required, then young adults would be much more prepared to transition out of school and in to the working world.",,754,Mandatory extracurricular activities,Independent,"Your principal has decided that all students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity.

AB127AC65E33,"Dear, Mr. Principal 2-1-11
I think students should not perform community service because it would seem like they were getting punished for something they didn't do. Doing community service would take too much time from doing school work students rely need. If students decide to clean up the community then they should be able to do it. If a student were to do something to brake the rules then they should be sentenced community service as a punishment depending on there crime. for example if a student were to start a fight the student should do a number amount of hours doing community servis. The students that chose to clean their community should be provided the tools to do the job because they don't have to do anything and some kids cant afford to do so. for example if a student needs a tool the city should provide it.

28CA29BE678E,"If your principal ever said that all the students in your school had to participate in one extracurricular activity, what would you think about that? I don't think students should have to participate in any extracurricular activities because students would want to relax and get more sleep, students could finish projects and homework, and students might be afraid to do extracurricular activities because they think that they could get hurt. There are a lot of reasons why I don't think students should have to participate in any extracurricular activities so I will explain all of them.
Students might want to catch up on sleep that they missed the night before or relax after a long day of school. This is because it would help students brains refresh or reboot by giving them a longer break. Some students also stay up too late working on long/short projects and homework that their teacher assigned so they don't get enough sleep that day. Because they don't get enough sleep, they become tired, which affects their moods during the school day and causes them to not only feel tired, but depressed and angry. Sleep really affects students ability to focus and finish their work on time but if they have to do an extracurricular activity after school, then that will make them more tired and will take away the extra time they get to catch up on sleep and relax.
Students could finish up unfinished classwork or work on extra homework and big/small projects. I get a lot of class work in each of my classes during the school day and I end up having an extra page of unfinished classwork to work on and when that all adds up from each of my classes it turns into homework. I can't imagine if I didn't have time after school to work on this but some students don't have time after school and all that homework adds onto projects that teachers hand out. If students have to do an extracurricular activity after school, then they won't have any time to hangout or spend time with friends.
Students could get hurt mentally or physically from extracurricular activities. If students wanted to be part of making the yearbook and they messed up on drawing a picture in it, they would be picked on or made fun of for their bad drawing. School bullies might even start to pick on you or physically hurt you. If you decided to do sports you could be made fun of for your size, if you're good or bad at that sport, or if you're weak. If you decided to do sports you could also physically hurt yourself like your leg, arm, hand, finger, ankle, etc.
I think overall students shouldn't have to do any type of extracurricular activity. It will take away the extra time they need to relax and catch up on sleep, the extra time they could use to finish unfinished classwork and homework, and limit the safety of their body and thoughts so they don't get any injuries or negative thoughts. I hope you agree with my decision about why we don't need extracurricular activities and the negative impacts they could have on us.

Principal (last name),
With all do respect I am against your idea of not letting kids play sports if they are not on a B average. I don't think it's fair because a B average means ""good"". A C average is average. If a student has an average letter grade they should still be able to play or participate in sports. My reason is a student could easily fail in a class if they didn't care. But, if a student has a C average letter grade then it means that the student is showing that him or her is at least having to show some effort. Rather It's doing homework, doing good on test/quizzes, or even getting a decent grade on in-class work.
When you take away sports from students, you are taking away some students time to be active and express themselves. Also when you take away sports you could be taking away a students social time with peers.

Many blind people are very independent and rather do things on their own so now they would be able to. Deaf people would not need to worry about being able to hear the ambulance or police when they are on their way to an emergency. They would also not need to worry about not being able to hear children playing around in the streets for saftey issues and the honking of other cars. That also goes for blind people. People of all ages would also be able to drive a car and not need to rely on someone else for support, even though there would still be an age limet for certain poeple to be able to drive the car but it would be much more safe.

7429789954ED,"In a lot of schools, students usually have to complete a summer project to continue learning over break. Most of the time, students have to read a certain, designated book and do a handout with it. These summer projects should be student-designed because it can be more enjoyable and creative. Nobody looks forward to wasting their summer working on a school project when the whole point of break is to get away from school and work.
Having students design their own on project makes their minds more creative. It gives them the opportunity to think of cool ideas and to build off of them. Students will be more motivated to do the project if they get to choose the layout of it and design it all by themselves. When teachers give young adults the chance to do their own project, it makes every bodies project more diverse so a lot of people will not have the same ideas or layouts. Student-designed projects give young people more freedom and opens their minds up to the world of new ideas.
Likewise, after having to go to school and doing work on a day-to-day basis, for about ten months, is exhausting. Once students finally get out of school, they feel freedom. Having a whole two and a half to three months of no school, no waking up early, and no assignments, is one of the best feelings ever. The whole point in having a break is to get out and away from school; where all people ever do is work and learn; and getting to relax. Having to complete a teacher-designed project at the end of a break just does not sound exciting or even remotely fun. Some teachers will give an assignment to the class and make it boring and difficult, to the point where students just push it aside until last minute. Every student learns differently. Some will need a more organized and basic project and others may like to create their own and have fun it. Allowing students to design their own projects is reasonable because it can reach a certain learning level that a specific student may need and at their own pace.
Additionally, teachers may disagree with these statements because they want projects that are easier to grade and go over. If a teacher is receiving over one hundred summer projects that were student-designed, he or she may feel overwhelmed and it may take a longer time to grade. All teachers teach differently, just like all students learn differently, so having teacher-designed projects for over the summer can be a simpler task for the teacher. Although teachers want students to learn over break by doing projects, I am sure they want a break too from grading papers and assignments or being flooded with them once school starts back up again.
The end of each school year is the most exciting time for a lot students and teachers because it is finally break time.

I get the daily benifit of seeing sights in Europe and China like the Acropolis in Greece. I've also rode a gondola in Venice, Italy! What else is on your bucket list?

149E8C278863,"Going to school and learning can benefit students in a lot of ways. You get to see your friends and be with them while you learn. It's a lot better than being at home and learning from there. Being present in a school is one of many reasons why learning at school is better than learning online or via webcam. A big part of education is being face to face with your teacher and taking in all the knowledge their providing you. Learning online can be a struggle for some students. Having a teacher present and helping you learn in person is something many students benefit from. For example, math is a subject that involves a lot of problem solving and can be very challenging to one learning. You have to workout problems and write things down in order to solve the problem. Some students aren't skilled enough to hear how to solve and then do it themselves. Less skilled students need the teacher in person showing them how to complete the problem rather than telling them how to solve it. That's how it is with all subjects, not just math. Students can benefit way more from a teacher showing them how to do something instead of telling them how to do something.
A conference over the phone or a webcam and online education can be very tricky. Phones and computers don't always work. At times they can stop working and shut down. If that happens then you won't be able to learn at all. On the other hand, going to an actual school and learning is way easier than that. All it requires is a chalkboard or a white board and a marker and your good to go. Teachers don't have to rely on a computer or phone when their teaching in a classroom. In some cases teachers will you use a computer to show a video or a program for students to learn from. but that doesn't mean they have to stop teaching at that point. Meanwhile, if a student is at home learning or on a conference with a teacher and your phone and computer stops working then you have no other choice then to stop working. It could happen once and have a student miss out on a lot of education. Online education or a video conference isn't a reliable way of learning. However, a student can always rely on going to school and having a teacher ready and prepared to teach.
There's visual learners and there's learners who can succeed by hearing. A visual learner wouldn't be able to learn if they did online education. They would be setup for failure because the school didn't organize the education around the student. Making an option for a student to learn from a video conference or online is a risk schools would have to take. Some students could choose that option but end up failing because they didn't know how well they learn online or from a video conference. Another risk with that option is some students might take advantage of it and choose it so they can stay home and not participate. Some students may choose the option of learning online but instead of doing that they could do other things. However, if they go to school then they have no other choice but to learn. They also wouldn't be allowed to do anything but learn because their is a teacher present and can monitor everything they do. Offering those ways of learning as an option is a huge risk. Students could take advantage of it and fail the whole purpose of allowing those options. Schools could get a lot of hate for it if the students use them and don't follow the rules. No school should ever want that happening to them. That's why there are many risks in allowing students to learn through an online or a video conference.
Going to school and learning is a much safer option than learning online or through a conference. There's a lot more benefits and many great things that come with it. Students are setup for success by attending school rather than learning online. They also have a higher chance of succeeding. Some students may do better learning online than others but it's still better going to school and learning. It's also a much safer option. I know I would do better going to school and learning. I would get distracted by my phone or video games or tv and then I wouldn't get any work done. If I'm at school I know I would get way more work done than I would if I was at home. Teachers are able to help me with my work and also keep off my phone. I often procrastinate while I'm working at home and it's hard to focus in that type of work enviroment. Meanwhile, if I'm at school teachers are there to keep me on track and help me on my path to finishing all of my work. I think I can speak for most students when I say that. We all love doing other things rather working on our work and if we can find any opportunities to get out of doing work then we will. Online education and a video conference are very easy to get out of if your not at school with a teacher watching.
Some might say that if your learning online from home your parents can watch you or supervise. Yes that's true but some students may go to their room and work or say their working when they're really not. For example, one may be doing their work one moment and the next moment their doing something completely different. Once again that's another reason why going to school is a much safer option than learning online. Even though some students can succeed learning online others can't. Teachers shouldn't have to waste their time only teaching a couple students in class when others are at home learning. Having to go to school and being face to face with a teacher learning from them can benefit students way more than learning online or through a video conference can.",,1031,Distance learning,Independent,Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing.

6DFF43AD5171,"Dear Principle,
I think we should have cell phones in school all time but have to be put on silent and in your pocket.
It would be nice to use phones during lunch time and free time.
But the phones to have to be turned off during the day because we could just put them on silent and know one would if you have it on or not.
What's it going to hurt if you have it on silent or if you could use it when the teacher is not giving incrustation to the class.
Because cell is another way to communicate with you friends instead for calling them you could just text them.
Also at lunch you could just text your friends with out going over to them and talking it's much easy to do that.
If the teachers don't let you have your phone in class that's dumb because people love there cell phones and use them all the time and teachers take them away because your not supposed to have them out but if you could have them when she/he is not talking or doing a lesson so we should be allowed to use them in those reasons and if them give homework do the homework first and then use your phone as long as you have permission to use them.
So really both of them are not the greatest policy's in the world I don't agree with either one of the policy's I agree with the one I just wrote, just not having phones in school is dumb and only having them your at lunch and other free time that's boring.
Come on if the teachers have them out why cant we?
Are there just better than us and can do what they want.

I think community services is necessaries because some kids just throw things on the floor and that in my opinion is bad manners. Some kids don't know what littering can do to our planet.

Doing community services will make you feel good and people will think of you as more of a good person. I think that everybody in the whole school should do 20 hours of community service. No matter if it is at school or pick up trash or even helping out around the house if u don't already do that.
Some kids don't want to do it because it is kind of boring but it is all ok and fun in the end. Think about it u helped out some one that really did need it. It is better than sitting at home all day doing nothing or just watching television. The only thing is that when can you do it. Well after school help out at your old school by helping the after school program. Or some thing like that.
There are some many different ways of community service. You can help out you next door naboheir or you can help out at school or you can simply help someone take there food to the car, when your at the grocery store.

7F1905176793,"Do you think that people would rather have the popular vote for the president of the United States or the Electoral College? If some of you guys dont know what an Electoral College is, then it is a process, not a place. The process consists of the selection of the electors, by the meeting of electors where they vote for President and Vice President, and the counting of the electoral votes by Congress. Now that you know its basiclly like your not even getting to have a chance at what you want, and not even a chance at getting to say what you want. That is why you would agree with me on the fact that we no longer should have the Electoral College. The voters & people in our country should strongly agree with having the election by popular vote. I think this because the Electoral College is unfair to voters and also the people in our country. Their are many of reasons on why I chose for it to be changed. One reason is because letting it be by popular vote might decress the conflict between people when one doesn't get what they want also might help the election be more equal. My next reason on changing the Electoral College is because if they run close then more people would be intrested and want more to do with the public election. It might even help the states from having conflict beween each other, and that would help our counrty out alot!

Venus is a challening planet to study because of the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus's atmosphere. The temperature's average is over 800 degree fahrenheit and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater then Earth. In the article it says, ""not a single spaceship has touched down on Venus in more than three decades."" This means that no human can survive the landing for more than a few hours because Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar system. The weather on Venus can cause for volcanoes to erupt and powerful earthquakes to occur. This shows how Venus is a dangerous planet to visit.
Venus is a worthy planet to visit because Venus still has some features that are analogus to those on earth. It has a surface of rocky sediment and includes features like valleys, mountains, and craters. In the article it says, ""Venus has been the most earth-like planet in our solar system."" Venus was covered with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like earth. This is why Venus is like Earth's twin. NASA has an idea for humans to study and visit Venus in a safe way by going in jet airplanes. The jet airplanes would travel at a higher altitude to fly over many storms. A vehicle would avoid the ground conditions by staying up and out of their way. The temperature would still be high about 170 degrees fahrenheit but the air pressure would be close to that of sea level on earth. This can help humans survive. This would be a safe way for humans to visit Venus.

398D1E26AA89,"Dear Principle,
I do believe all students should be required to do community service. It keeps the community clean and looking better. I don't think however that they should have to do it every day I think it should be twice or maybe three times a week. Because as kids we have lives outside of school so we really don't want to pick up trash every day. I remember one time when I was in fifth grade we had to go outside and pick up the playground because people were making a mess of it. It wasn't really torture but I wasn't bothered by it I mean it was actually kind of enjoyable. If the principle allowed them to do community service during school hours it might not be as big of a conflict. But if you make them come in after school to do community service it might result in a problem. Because there are other things that we would like to do, for example we would rather spend time with our friends or family. I just feel like if you're going to make kids do something at least reason with them a little.

7BC672095230,"For many students, summer is a time to relax their minds after their strenuous school year of homework, projects, and exams. However, many schools implement summer projects to keep young students' minds sharp. Whether summer reading, research projects, or vocabulary, schools highly encourage their teachers to implement summer projects onto their students. When constructed by the teacher, summer projects allow students to reach their full potential due to is close relationship to the curriculum, the academic foundation it provides for the upcoming school year, and the equal amount of work for all students.
Firstly, teacher-designed projects are designed by those actually teaching the subject. When teachers create the summer projects for their students, those students in return are given a preview of what they will be learning during the school year. Commonly, students enter a course unsure of what exactly they will be learning. They might expect for their year to focus on one subject whereas the curriculum may only briefly cover it. When students receive teacher-designed projects, the students are familiarized with what to expect out of their course. For instance, history teachers may assign a research project of a specific time period. With specificity provided by the teachers, students gain clarity on what they will be taught in their new classes. Aside from showing students what they will be learning, teacher-designed projects also teach the students.
Because schools encourage teachers to implement summer assignments to better prepare students for the upcoming school year, these projects serve to ease students into their courses. For instance, prior to my junior year of high school I received a teacher-designed project in my AP Biology course. With junior year being my first year of AP courses, I was unfamiliar with what the class would entail. Fortunately however, the project designed by my teacher provided me a basis of what I would begin to learn in Fall and the depth of what my understanding would need to be. Although a long project, I learned vocabulary terms and studied biological processes which became useful throughout the school year in the class. Through completion of the project, although inexperienced with such high level classes, I entered the school year confident and ready for my college leveled assignments. With my understanding of the content I would be learning, I also earned time-management skills as I knew how much effort would be needed for the class. Despite as a student I found the summer assignment to be tedious, those teacher-designed projects fully prepared me for my intensive class load for my junior year of high school.
Although some may argue for the student-designed projects, unfortunately certain students may take advantage of its given flexibility. With increase popularity of sports, jobs, and extracurricular activities, among high school students, certain students may not put in all of their effort for projects they create for oneself. Where students with a full schedule may complete the project at the bare minimum, other students may design long, elaborate projects. When students are assigned teacher-designed projects, students work at the same level. By taking in account both ends of the spectrum, teachers design projects at a middle ground to create assignments with a proper, realistic amount of work doable for all of their students.
With schools having the goal to assure continued learned during the course of academic breaks, teacher-designed projects are ideal in achieving this goal. By teachers developing projects for their students to complete over break, students gain confidence in the upcoming school year. Through these projects, teachers help students develop skills necessary for their classes. Despite the implication of impeding on students' summer vacation, schools mandating teacher-design projects assure students are well prepared for their return in September.",,611,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

13EBA3BE41C2,"Have you heard of the photo taken in 2001 that revealed a strange, unusual, ""Face on Mars?"" In 1976, NASA's Viking 1 spacecraft was circling Mars in search for a landing spot for its sister ship. During the look for a site, the spacecraft noticed something that resembled a human face. This discovery brought up a huge debate between other NASA scientist and conspiracy theorists. The people thought that the Face was a confirmation of life on Mars, but we scientist can ensure you that the Face is just a natural landform. The picture captured of the Face on Mars is just a natural landform because Marian mesas are common around where it was spotted, Mars Global Suveyor confirmed there was no alien monument, and high-resolution images from NASA revealed that the Face is just a mesa.
The Face on Mars was discovered on a red planet called Cydonia. When Jet Propulsion Lab seen the photographs captured by the NASA's Viking 1 spacecraft, they figured that it was just another Martain mesa. Jet Propulsion Lab came to the conclusion that it was just a mesa because in the text it states, ""Scientist figured it was just another Martian mesa, common enough around Cydonia..."" From this the reader can infer that mesas are often found on this planet. Not only did Jet Proplusion Lab believe it was just a natural landform, Mars Global Suveyor also believed it was created naturally.
On April 5, 1998, Mars Global Suveyor confirmed there was no alien monument after all. The spacecraft flew over Cydonia and also captured a picture of the pop icon, the Face on Mars,. The Mars Global Surveyor took a photograph, but ten times sharper than the original photograph from NASA's Viking photos. This picture sure proved that there were no alien monuments. However, people believed it was too cludy to see clearly. Therefore, a high-resolution image from more recent technology offically confirmed that the Face is just a mesa.
Mission controllers from Mars Global Surveyor prepared to take another look at the Face on Mars. On April 8, 2001, the spacecraft flew over Cydonia again and captured a photo as clear as day. Jim Garvin, chief scientist for NASA's Mars Exploration Program, said,"" Malin's team captured an extraordinary photo using the camera's absolute maximum resolution."" This photograph showed that the Face on Mars is equivalent to landforms found around the American West.
In conclusion, the picture captured of the Face on Mars is just a natural landform because Marian mesas are common around where it was spotted, Mars Global Suveyor confirmed there was no alien monument, and high-resolution images from NASA revealed that the Face is just a mesa.

49E85AF686E1,"In the article ""Making Mona Lisa Smile,"" the author is decribing how a new technology: the Facial Action Coding System, is enabling computers to identify human emotions. The use of this technology: to read the emotional expressions of students, is not valuable. Even though human have simaliar muscles to show the same emotion each one does vary a great significance.
In paragraph 6 of the article Dr. Huang made a bold prediction ""A classroom computer could reconize when a student is becoming confused or bored,"" This means to him that a students emotions can be completly read by a computer scan. This doesn't seem logical in any means at all. Have you ever watched your classmates facial expression change from confused to them understanding completely in the blink of an eye? Im sure you have. If a computer reads your confused facial emotion in the middle of a lesson right before you understand it, it will change making you have to reset your brain to relearn what you were the the bridge of mastering.
In paragraph 5 a sentence contradicted the article ""Of course, most of us would have trouble actually describing each facial trait,"" if this is true then why would an artifical intelegence be able to read emotions better than a human who experiences the similar emotions? A real life example is when someone is really good at looking like they don't care. This is a hard face to read because some people just naturally have it at all times. With a piece of simple technology how would the scan be able to look past the same face with the same emotion at all times? It most likely couldnt and would be uneffectful in the end.
In paragraph 6 another outside of the box thought was put into words from Dr. Huang ""Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication...So computers need to understand that, too,"" The problem with this is that computers don't understand things, they are programmed to do what they are told. Only alive things ""understand"" which means to learn. If we put a program in our computer to read emotions then the computer will most likely only read that exact facial expression.
The use of technology to read emotional facial expressions of students in a classroom is not valuable because it is to far fetched and unpractical. This is because we have teachers, emotions change constantly, emotions are sometimes hard to read, and computers can't ""understand"" how a human is feeling a all times.

This would enable Teachers to adjust thier teaching style and make it easier for the student to understand the subject. Not only would it help the teachers, but the entire class as well. Teachers would be able to see if students needed individual help or if they needed to go over it as a class again.
As said in the article, ""A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored."" This also supports the fact that this technology could be valuable in classrooms. Not only the teacher could be able to change the lesson for a student, but the lesson itself could change for the student. This would make the student be less bored and more excited and enjoy the lesson that they are currently learning.
As technology evolves, we will use it more and more for the better use of people. This could possibly be the first step for making school a better place for students to enjoy learning.

One reason is''Dr. Huang relies on the work of psychologists,such as Dr. Paul Eckman, creator of FACS (Facial Action Coding System).Eckman has classified six bisic emotions--happiness,surprise,anger,disgust,fear,and sadness--and then associated each with characteristic movements of the facial muscles.''There have six bisic emotions on computer can help us to recognize the subtle facial movements.

32A121824D02,"The author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents because the planet itself is dangerous. Venus is the same as the Earth, I mean it is reffered to as Earth's ""twin"", but there both the same only because of the density and size. Both planets do have the same shape and density, but planet Earth is much more safer than Venus.
Venus has a thick atmoshpere, so it makes it harder to breathe. For example, in the text it says,"" a thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus. Even more challenging are the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus's atmosphere."" It's impossible for somoene to even live on Venus because of it's own atmosphere.
Exploring and studying the planet Venus is actually challenging when you think about it. People tried to study about the planet, people have tried to explore, but in the end, it ends up failing. For example, in the text it states, "" since no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours. Maybe this issue explains why not a single spaceship has touched down on Venus in more than three decades. Numerous factors contribute to Venus's reputation as a challenging planet for humans to study, despite its proximity to us."" This is explaining how bad the planet really is.
No spacecraft can even touch the ground on planet Venus. The reason why no spacecraft has touched down on planet Venus is because of the clouds itself. For example, in the text it explains,"" the clouds are highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus's atmosphere. On the planet's surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmoshpheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet."" Venus has a temperature of 800 degrees fahrenheit, while Earth's highest temperature is at least 110 to 120 degrees. So planet Venus is very hot, that probably explains why no spacecraft can land on the planet because it's so hot in the planet that the clouds trap all that heat inside.

ECBACB8EABB8,"Dear State Senator,
I am in favor of changing to election by popular vote for the president of the United States and I know I'm not alone on this one. ""Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Bob Dole, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and the AFL-CIO all, in their life time agreed on? Answer: Abolishing the electorial college!"" That's not enough well, ""Over 60 percent of voters would prefer a direct election to the kind we have now."" 60 percent is more than a half, now it says over 60 percent which would be past 60 percent. Remember the disaster factor , it is unfair to voters, and what if there is a tie in the electoral vote.
First of all, lets just take it into thought that it is unfair to voters. How? Well, ""Beacuse of the system winner-take-all system in each state, candidates don't spend time in states they know they have no chance in winning, focusing only on the tight races in the ""swing"" state."" In 2000, the campaign that was going on, well 17 states did not see the candidates at all. Also, including Rhode Island and South Carolina. What about the fact that, ""Voters in 25 of the largest media markets didn't get to see a single campaign ad."" Not even one. Some might say that it doesn't matter if they have a campaign ad or not, believe me, I've heard it before. Having a campiagn ad shows people what you want to do, how you want to help, how you want to make a change, ect... I don't understand how unfair it can be to people.
Second of all, what would happen if there was a tie in the electoral vote? Well then, the election would be passed to the House Of Representatives, state delegation vote on the president. ""Because each state casts only one vote, the single representative from Wyoming, representing 500,000 voters, would have as much say as the 55 representatives from California, who represnt 35 million voters."" The election is only a few swing voters away from catastrophe.
Third of all, lets just go back to memory lane and revisit the
Disaster Factor . This was the single best argument against the electoral college. ""The Americans people should consider themselves lucky that the 2000 fiasco was the biggest election crisis in a century;the system allows for much worse."" State legislatures are technically responsible for picking electors. ""In the same vein, ""faithless"" electors have occasionally refused to vote for their party's candidate and cast a deciding vote for whomever they please...."" Want that to happen again now?
Thank you for reading and understanding my point. You have an opinion and I respect that, but I also have one too. Sometimes they just need to be heard. So lets just say that it s unfair to voters, there could be a tie, and lets not forget the Disaster Factor. ""The electoral college is unfair, outdated, and irrational. Have a good day.

82C4862891EF,"The topic of driverless cars can be seen as problematic or innovative to many people. Although, while the current driverless cars aren't truly driverless they could become more innovative than problematic. The driverless cars that have been created in the past have accomplished many different things. Even though they can't drive in some sticky situations (such as work zones), they're progressively making their way towards that. Sometime in the near future, we could possibly never have to drive again.
The accomplishments from driverless cars are almost countless. Google's Toyota Prius could constantly update a 3-D model of it's surroundings, along with sensorys, a GPS receiver, and motion sensor. Those things made this Prius much more capable of driving itself than most motor vehicles. BMW also made a ""Traffic Jam Assistant"" that was capable of steering, accelerating, and braking itself. All of these innovative ideas are leading people closer and closer to having a driverless vehicle.
Even though there is not a car that can be completely driverless, there are some ways to stay entertained while ""driving.""

502AE921603A,"Can you imagine living in a place where there is no driving? It is an amazing thing to think if every person doesn't drive in one big city that it saves so much pollution going in to the air. Another thing to think about is if everyone in a city didn't drive and walked everywhere, more people would stay healthier by staying in shape. Some people think that owning a car is more stressful than just walking everywhere. If you don't own a car you don't have to pay for insurance, don't have to pay for gas, and don't have to pay for repairs when something goes wrong in a vehicle. To me it sounds like there is a lot of advantages in limiting car use.
One solid reason why not using cars as much is the pollution going in the air. In Paris, France motorists with even numbered license plates were ordered to leave their cars at their house or else they would be fined. The next day odd numbered license plates motorists had to leave their vehicles at home. It was a hardship at first to get people to follow these new rules, but after about five days everything started to cool down. The pollution had dropped 60 percent in Paris which is exactly what the city was looking for. Limiting the car usage didn't just save pollution from going in the air, but also there wasn't as much traffic as there usually was. It also made Paris a safer place to be outside and not damage the citizens lungs. The capital city of France also made transportation free Monday-Friday to help the cause. Soon enough people that had both license plates could drive on the same day.
In Bogota, Colombia they do a car free day that is becoming popular in that part of the world. It is awesome to think there are 7 million people in that city and none of them are using a car. People that violated this goal on this day were charged a $25 fine. People from other countries came to see how this day worked and they loved it. The mayor of Asuncion, Paraguay said ""These people are generating a revolutionary change, and this is crossing borders."" You can just imagine all the benefits of everyone not using a car in a city for a whole day. Restaurants and parks would be visited and used more and everyone would be getting more exercise. All in all this idea was genius.
As you can see limiting car usage can help out the area big time that it is taking place. It is better breathing air, businesses like restaurants and parks would be used more and grow steadily, and the city would be taken care of better.

7F523261B071,"Dear Principal,
I think that your proposal of being, that students who do not have a grade B average can not play sports is a good idea. Being or participating in sports or other activities is a privilege and you need to work hard to get that. However, I know that many students have a grade C average and if they want to play in sports then, maybe we should have more tutorials and tutors. I know that every ones expectations is to get a B or higher. Having a C or below average is a terrible feeling to have and that if students keep on participating in sports with those kind of standards then, the rankings of our school will eventually plummet. Of course many teachers do not want their students to fail and retake the grade.
Many students do not like your idea but, I do. Education comes first and if students do not respect that then, they have no reason to play in sports or extracurricular activities. To me, having a C average is not my expectations. If you do not propose this rule then, people who make it to the team with a grade C average will eventually start to keep on thinking and focusing about it, and they will be distracted with their school work. As i said, participating in sports is a privilege to everybody and that if they do not focus on their education at the same time then, they will struggle as years go on. Actually, I believe that commended performance students are better in sports than those who are near or at failing.
I think that this rule should be put in effect to our school. It is a great idea and that if you do put this law in effect then, maybe when people who have a C average, and who want to participate in sports, then maybe they will work harder to make next year's team. What I mean is that if people who have a grade C average and who want to be in sports, eventually they will want to work harder, so that next year they will make the team with a grade B or above average.

021823AF0384,"Schooling and learning is essential for the development of a child, but learning in the comfort of their own home is a different story. Many students don't like the school environment of a specific schedule, little to no freedom, and boxy, prison-like rooms, but they do appreciate the ability to learn everyday. Distance learning could be very beneficial to those who are missing class, those who tend to act out, and those who are more comfortable at home because of other barriers.
Virtual learning and online classes could be beneficial to those who are unable to attend school. It is very hard for students to maintain the learning track they are set on if they are not in the physical building where they are getting educated. If a student is sick or traveling, they have to make up their work once they get back, and if they were gone for some time, that work can pile up. Through distance and virtual learning, the students would be able to attend class online. If they are sick and in bed or at the hospital for a few days, they would still be able to learn at the same pace as their peers. These conferences or online classes would help the students with their workload once they got back as well. Many missed days results in mounds of make up work, but the distance learning could help reduce that amount significantly, especially if they sit in to all the classes and do all the work real time. If a student, or a teacher even, is traveling and they cannot make it to the specified class, they would still be able to obtain the information without falling behind. They could video chat in or follow along with online notes in real time to hear or give an explanation.
This way of learning could help benefit those who tend to act out in a schooling atmosphere. Delinquents and trouble makers tend to repeatedly act out since they know that there are, most likely, going to be little to no consequences. They could be pressured by those around them, or they could be bullied into doing what they don't want to do. Teachers would then develop a dislike for the student, and they would try to get them in as much trouble as possible since they keep disrupting the class. Distance learning completely takes these scenarios out of the picture. Those who act out would be isolated from the pressures and repetition of the previous acts, and the teachers would not have the ability to develop a dislike for the student based solely on actions. This could help the student maintain their focus on school instead of thinking about acting outcaused by the social pressures and atmosphere. This could even help them dwindle down the acting out and the disruption since they would be removed from the specific trigger in the classroom, whatever it may be.
Distance learning could also benefit those with learning or social barriers. Many students now a days get punished in class for not paying attention or being distant if they have mental issues or a learning deficit such as ADHD or anxiety. Some students are forced to sit still for hours on end as their teachers do not let them get up and move around since it is a disruption to the class and their teaching. If these students were at home or somewhere else, they would be able to move freely and not interrupt the classroom; they could still learn at the same pace as everyone else without facing consequences for things they can't control. This could even aid in improving the want to learn if the students with these barriers knew there was an other option besides just sitting in a classroom for seven hours a day. Some students do not believe there is a way to maintain a proper education and try to mange their mental health, but this could be a huge step in the right direction for those who are choosing one over the other. They could learn and improve on their own time whenever they felt fit enough to work instead of being forced to come to school to sit still and learn things that they aren't even going to retain since they couldn't pay attention in class. This opportunity allows the students to progress at their own pace, but it still pushes them to do well and thrive in a different environment.
Understandably, students could take advantage of this system by just saying they are sick to sit in on a class from the comfort of their own bed, but this could be very beneficial for the others who physically can't come to school or who can't learn in the schooling environment without getting punished. The amount of students that this could benefit is marginally bigger than those who would take advantage of the system. Some parents don't let students take mental health days or stay home sick because they have a heavy workload, but if they knew about the ability to continue learning while they are at home instead of missing out and doing a bunch of make up work, they might be more inclined to let their child stay home and learn from there instead. Distance learning could be very beneficial to those who are not present in class, those who are troublemakers, and those who have mental illnesses or learning disabilities.",,905,Distance learning,Independent,Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing.

56F4DD4B33D1,"After the reserch I have done I think that changeing the system would be a good idea because of the following reasons, its not really fair because your not actually voteing for the president, but for a slate of electors, also becuse of the candidates are more focused on the bigg states, and the swing states.
The first reason that changing the system is a good idea is that lots of people think that it is unfair. Like in source 2 by Brandford Plumer, ""If you lived in Texas, for instance, and wanted to vote for John kerry, You'd vote for a slate of 34 Democratic electors pledged to Kerry."" but if the electors dont win the statewide election he wouldnt get the votes, so its like your vote didn't even count. The winner take all system is unfair because your actualy not choosing your own president.
The next problem are the big staes. The candidates dont spend many time is the small state because they now that those votes won't really help them win so the go to the bigger states where they now they will get more votes. In source 3 by Richard A. Posner says "" a large state gets more attention form presidential candidates in a campain than a small state dose."" For example in 2012 obama won the votes from florida, get got 29 electoral votes. But if he were to go to a small state and won he would only get a few votes, so its not fair for the smaller states and it's not equal.
The finall issue are the swing states. Candidates focus more on the toss-up states. In these states they spend more time and give out more information because in these states the people really pay colse attention to the campain. The candidates dont spend any time int the staes they now they no chances for winning, that why durind the 2000 campain, seventeen states didn't see the candidates at all!
In response, based from the followin informatom given I think that The Electoral College is unfair, outdated, and irrational. It should not be the elecotal votes that matter it should be the peoples votes. Also some states dojnt even hear from the candidates because they are busy with the big staes and trying to win over the swing states.

DEEB40F3A79D,"Dear Generic_Name,
I hope this letter finds you and the school staff members okay. The reason I'm writing this letter to you and our school staff members its because I would like our summer projects to be designed by the students. I believe summer projects should be students-designed because that helps students to have the opportunity to express their opinions and ideas about their previous school year. Most students travel out of the country or state. The 30% of the students stay home and prefer to spend time with family and friends.
Students have the opportunity to express their thoughts about their previous year. For example during my summer break I love to write about my previous school year experience and think about what were the wrong decisions I made during that year that helps me to set a goal to do it better the next school year.
Most students travel out of the state or country. For example my cousins, they love to draw and describe what they see in each state or country every time they travel, they love to talk about their experience in each state which is a good things because they are really communicative with school and the community.
The 30% of the students stay at home during their summer break and they prefer to spend time with family and friends. For example my brother stays home most of the time during the summer break and most he invites his friends to come over, they spend time playing with their PS4 but also they like to write letter to members of their family like grandparents etc: also they love to do animal researches so based on that they are able to take notes, make observations and make comments about animals in the forest.
Thank you for taking the time to read my suggestions and I hope I did convience you that summer projects should be student-designed.
Sincerely,

363F69979EAB,"Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home of way of online or video conferencing. There's an ongoing debate over if students should or should not attend classes from home. There are those who argue that students should attend classes from home, but they are wrong. Although some may disagree, students should not attend classes from home.
There are a variety of reasons why students should not permitted to attend classes from home. As a student in high school I understand that it is hard to make friends, so by going to school with other students I, like other students, have been developing these social skills that will be needed in the future. Throughout my years schooling there are multiple events that the students will have to show these set of skills: presentations, speeches, projects, all things that will never be experienced from at home schooling. With social skills there are people, and interacting with them can be joyful, when having a good time. Students at my school enjoy spending time with each other during sport practice especially. Practice for sports or electives are entertaining because you get time to do something that interest you and some time to relax from a stressful day at school. When apart of a team, band, or choir there are games and performances that are not able to be taken part of when home schooled.
There are additional reasons why students should not attend classes from home. All students have a different learning tactic, for myself it is through music. Not all student can be home schooled because they are not able to learn through a computer and fully understand the lesson being taught. When this occurs the student is expects to contact a teacher which is not always possible. When I am in need of help with a lesson in my classroom I can simply walk up to my teacher and get clarification on the lesson; however, when you are home schooled it is not that easy to where you can do that.
Even though some may disagree, students should not be allowed to take classes from home. Students should be prohibited from taking classes at home because they can not develop social skills, may not be able to get the extra help needed, can not experience taking electives and being in programs. There are those who argue that students should be able to take class from home, but this is not true. Ultimately, students should be able to experience school with other students and make memories that will be cherished.",,427,Distance learning,Independent,Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing.

it has my attention that are school should have online classes and it could benefit us and everyone that dose't go to school any more. If there is a bad storm maybe they drop out and they don't have time any more should have online class for the extra help and it could be a step to a better future.
My reason are the long snow days and other weather problem online class it could give us the chance to take are time and not be rush by other people on online class.It could help student that don't have time for school any more because of work or they got a problem being at school. Maybe a student has to go out of town be of a family emergency but they don't want to get left be hind of the other people in class. They can do online work while they are way they could also ask there teachers for help online and do a video conference and it would be good because the student is getting a one on one lesson and can befit them.
Some people need this if there miss a class credit and they need before graduation it can help them. If they have a full schedule on the school day they can take it online so they can catch up and make it on time for graduation. a lot of people might what to finish school but they don't have the time any more online classes could help balance there schedule. many people want to take a class for the hack of it for a extra credit for maybe an advance diploma or if they just want to get out school faster and graduate. A lot of people would have a lot of time or not a lot of time because of work online class would be helpful for a lot of people.
Online class is the step to good education it could help people get jobs or save money for schools so teachers could have the extra cash for teaching students. Maybe there could be a person that can further are technology and help other people in schools. Online class could get people out of minimum wage and start earning more money. It could also make it a lot easier for people that are home school the information can just be proved online.Online class is a step to a better future and education for people.

2F76D50DCF47,"When people ask for advice, they sometimes ask more than one person. Seeking multiple opinions can help someone make a better choice because more opinions means more reasons why you should or shouldn't do something. Another reason you should ask multiple people is because if you have more reasons, you can choose which ones you like or dislike. Also, when you make your decision, you can make it with every perspective of the idea.
Let's say two people are having an argument on whether math or english is more important and they ask you to be the tie breaker. You have until tomorrow to make you decision and you decide to ask for other people's opinions. Many people think that math is more important than english. Their reasons are that math is in everything you look at from tables to school to video games. Many think that english s better because you can communicate from large distances or at all without it. Some think that math is more important because you need to at least know simple addition to do a lot of things. Some others believe that english is more important because you need to know english when you grow up. Multiple opinions can help you make a decision of why you should say math is better or why english is better.
Now that you have your reasons, you can start to eliminate what you don't agree with. You decide that you don't need to know math because that is what calculators are for. Then you decide that you don't need english to communicate through a text message. You can just abbreviate and misspellings are corrected by auto-correct. Now that you put in your own opinion, you have less choices. The final choices are that math is in everything and english is necessary when you're an adult. When making a decision, remember that your opinion is what matters most. Most likely when you make your decision, someone is going to ask you why. You need to say why you so, not why someone else thinks so.
Finally, you make your decision. The people who were fighting come up to you to hear your decision. You chose math, You reasoning is that math is everywhere and there is no escaping it. You say the smartest person in the world could be terrible at english and still be the smartest. The best author in the world could be terrible at math, bet then that person would never know what people think of their book because they can't figure out how many people love the book. Your decision is made through multiple perspectives and your reasoning is valid. The argument is over and you may feel proud. Now you know that next time this comes up, you can give your honest opinion.
Advice is important. Advice from multiple people is more important. The advice you get from people can persuade you to do or don't do something.

35C1EF0AD877,"Students want summer to be homework free, and not have to worry about summer projects. Most students will agree that summer is meant to give the brain a rest. Meant to give students time to have fun, be free, and enjoy the few months before school starts up again. Although some may disagree, schools should require summer work for students.
Students will come back to school from summer completely refreshed; however, if they don't do a summer project, they will feel lost. Some schools require a book report, or some sort of homework from some of your classes. Those book reports and homework keep you from forgetting the essentials in learning. The point is to make sure that there is some educational activity, and assure that students won't forget basic resources. Becoming lost mentally can feel like being dropped in a random part of the world. Without having some sort of tracker to keep students focused over the summer, students would feel lost and confused when they came back. Recovering from being confused and lost is easier said than done. As classes continue to progress, not knowing what happened before is brutal. Summer projects help prevent that with continual learning.
Assigning the projects to students can show the teacher many things. Summer projects can show the teacher what type of learner their student is. They can show what they've learned, their capabilities, and how much effort they put into their work. Teachers want their students to pass, and care about all of their students. Summer projects are ways to learn about their students and follow their progress. Summer projects help students get prepared for the lesson they will learn. Students being prepared for an upcoming lesson is essential in order to not make the students feel confused at the beginning. A strong start to a school year can determine the rest of the year. Students don't know how much a summer project has taught them until the year starts. When the student understands the lesson being taught, the school year will come much easier.
Summer projects are frowned upon by most students. Although some may disagree, schools should require summer work for students. Students not feeling lost and keeping a influential mind set during summer is essential for a good school year. Teachers assigning the projects and learning their students writing and learning methods is key for helping students in the future.

DD0929BB46D0,"In order for a student to develop their abilities, they must be provided with the same opportunities as other students, taking classes from home is just another way for a student to learn, it shouldn't impact their education at all, there can be plenty of reasons that this could happen, some students might have a disability or may be unable to attend school.
Currently, in the modern age, accessing education online has become easier than ever. Now a person can log in on the internet and research or learn about any topic. Because of this, many schools and colleges have offered online courses for those who are unable to attend an learn face to face. Just because of this minor factor, students who attend school online should get the same curriculum as the students that don't attend distance learning.
Distance learning can be very effect under certain circumstances. One being is that the mentor can speak with the student one on one giving them their full on attention. This can be an effective way to help them where they struggle most. Since most classes often include 20 other students, the factor at which the instructor can help others goes down exponentially. Even if the class is filled with other students all of them have the comfort of their home to keep them relaxed, many students would rather prefer to study in their home than school just because of the comfort that is given up as a cost.
Learning from afar doesn't necessarily mean that the student attending is lazy, there could be other factors that effect their decision. A very large one is accessibility, many students that want to go to their dream school can go on the fact that it could be out of reach because of the location the reside in. Accessing those classes online is a good alternative for someone to learn. One other example is a disability or inability to attend school. Most children or people that attend school from home most likely have had an incident which led to them being unable to travel. Because of distance learning, even though they are stuck at home, they still get the chances a normal student would be provided with the exception that they are not at that school or college in person.
In conclusion, attending school from online is a great alternative for those who can't attend physically. It provides the same opportunities that a person would receive from a real school. They will also have that sense of accomplishment that is achieved when they graduate or successfully complete an assignment.

First, you get to help others in need. It was felt amazing being able to help those who were hurt in the war. I also got to visit beautiful Europe and China. It was unbelieveable too seing the Acropolis in Greece. Taking a gondola ride over wonderful Venice, Italy was breathtaking. I also had a tour through a castle, how great is that? I was also marveled by the Panama Canal on my way to China.
If you enjoy animals, you'd love this job. While on the two week trip crossing the Atlantic, the animals kept me very busy. I got to feed and give water to them about two or three times a day. But, stalls had to be cleaned.
It was always fun on board, especially on return trips because I got to play baseball and volleyball, which were held in the empty animal holds. We did many other activities, like table-tennis, fencing, boxing, reading, whittling, and other games.
Mainly, this experience made me more aware of people of other countries. This awareness even lead to my family generously hosting some international exchange students.

282920A19940,"Dear TEACHER_NAME,
Community service is a great thing! Helping the community in any way is considered a good thing, and I think it's great that some students are doing this on their own already! But you and I both know that there are other kids that could care less about what goes on where they live, or how it needs help. And that's why I have a proposition for you.
I think that every student should be required at least one hour of community service each semester. Because everyone should be involved in the community, and the community could always use some help! No matter if it's picking up trash along the roads, or assisting at a an elderly home, help is always good.
Now of course, there will have to be proof that each student did their hour. I think the best way to do this would just simply be a signature. All we need is a slip of paper that the student can fill out, telling what they did as service, and for how long. Like, say, a student worked for two hours a soup kitchen. Then one of the workers at the kitchen could sign the students slip.
For some students, that one hour will be something they do just to get it over with, and then wont even think about again until next semester. For others, they'll do their one hour, and then maybe five extra hours after that.
And for those people, I think there should be a reward! The reward could be that for every extra hour each student does, they earn a homework pass. I'm sure if you decided to move with that idea, you'd have to get the teachers consent, though. Or maybe the reward could be a party at the end of the semester for the people that worked extra hours.
Needless to say, if there's a reward involved, most likely there will be more people willing to work extra hours. And eventually, those same people who thought, ""The community is fine. I shouldn't waste my time trying to make it any better than what it already is!"", will realize what kind of good they can do for others around them on a daily basis!
Sincerely,
STUDENT_NAME

F5B7F5E745A0,"School is a lifelong proccess. Every student everyday should be able to go to school and learn something new. Students have to improve their independent credibility in order to succeed in life so they must keep learning, even on break for example, summer. Every school year, there are breaks such as winter, spring, and summer break implemented into the year which allow students to relax. While on break, some schools require students to complete summer projects in order to keep them learning while some does not. With the school that does, students sometimes are allowed to design their own project while other times, the teacher have full authority. I feel like summer projects should be student-designed because then the students would have more control over what they want to do, it will promote self-leadership, and it will create a happy student and a healthy environment.
Students want control, they want to have the ability to choose what they do. If they have control, then the chances for them to complete the project is higher instead if it is teacher designed, it will probably get done last minute. Having the project student-designed also will relieve the pressure students have because then they do not have to worry about going off topic because they would be interested in what they do and stay on topic. Another reason why summer projects should be student controlled is because students will be more interest and will create positive impacts contributed to the project since the students will not get bored because it is their self-chosen project. Following a self-chosen project, it will allow a high, successful completion rate. With the students in control of their own summer projects, they would most likely promote leadership into themselves and the willingness to work.
Another reason why summer projects should be student designed is because it will give the students a chance to take leadership for once. While in school, students must listen to teachers, whether its homework, classwork, or projects. Having summer break, no teachers are around students and if students choose what they do, then it will promote self-confidence and leadership as it will help them in the future. It is very important to develope leadership in anything anyone does because it will make them more responsible for what they do and have integrity towards life. Also, having the project student-designed, it will encourage them to learn, either by themselves or with friends. Leanring by themselves creates a independent hard worker because at the end of the day, the only person someone can rely on is themselves. If students decide what to do, they might even choose to work in a team, which is another important process in life because somewhere along their life, they need to be dependent on a team and having a leader, things will take a right turn. With success being in play, it will create a happy, friendly student.
Sometimes teacher-designed projects are not really a bad thing because some students are not as hard workers and might not complete the project. It allows teacher authority to come in play because some students will not take authority themselves. Another reason why somtimes projects should be teahcer-designed is because sometimes, student might go off topic on what they chose causing them to get a unwanted score; so, having teacher projects, it will constantly be in their mind that this is a project my teacher assigned so they must stay on topic, whether the project turns out good or bad. Finally a project student-designed will have a fantastic result, the result being a healty, strong, happy student. A happy student doing what they want, chosing how they want the summer project to be will create them a healthy mindset. It will make them feel like they are not being forced to do anything and that they are doing it out of their own will. It is also important to let the students decide because someone cannot always make the decision for the students, they must move forward.
In conclusion, schools requiring students to complete summer projects are not a bad thing, but only under acceptable conditions for example, letting the student decide how they want to do their project. Overall it is summer break and there are no teachers around. The students should feel relieved and actually want to do what they do and have meaning in it but they must be in control. Leadership is an important role in life that everyone should develop in life in order to succeed and it must start at a young age, being able to make the right decisions and being responsible for it. A student-designed project, not only give them a chance to develope the leadership they need, it will also create a healthy mindset, acknowleging what they want to learn and implementing them into a school project and to share with peers. At the end, students are students and they will do what they desire, with a healthy mind, them having control and choosing what to do will result in a remarkable end product.

5356F912E48A,"In Koea, there is a old saying that says ""Don't catch the fish for the kids, but teach them how to catch it."" It means challenging itself is the only way to improve and it is better for people to learn for themselves instead of getting help on everything from other people. Some schools reuquire summer project for students during the break. Some teachers design the projects for their students, but some let their students to design them. Hoever, the summer projects should be student-designed for students' creativity and remembering the content.
First, the summer projects should be student-designed because it helps the students to improve their creativity. When students design their own unique project, they have to come up with personal idea to imply on the project. Since they need their own idea, students have to think more about the theme, content, type of project, and all the things that they might want to put in the project. This process helps the students to think a lot deeper than teachers giving specific directions which helps to improve their creativity.
Second, the summer projects should be student-designed becuase it helps the students to remember the learnings. When students design their own project, they need to remember and understand what they have learned during the school year well enough to evaluate into a project. It requires them to think about the contents for a long time and go through the notes or text books for informations. This process helps the students to reorganize the informations in their brain which eventually allows them to have longer memory on the learnings.
However, even though student-designed summer projects help students to improve creativity and remember the content, there might be people who does not agree with this statement. Some might say that it takes too much time and effort to design the projects themselves and summer break is the time for the students to rest, spend time with their own family members and friends, and use their effort on extracurricular activities. However, they can arrange their schedule to make time for the projects and they can decide whether to make the project big or small. Other may argue that students might have hard time doing the project since it is not instructed. However, it is true that people improve and grow when they challenge themselves. It is better to have challenge for the students, which is the self-designed project. Also, since the students can design the project, they can design it to their own aility.
Since it helps the students to improve their creativity and helps them to remember the lessons better, the summer projects should be student-designed. Challenging themselves is the only way for them to improve and have more experience. It is the better way of learning.

Getting advice from lost of people help us get through some bad hair days or tough situations, like fights with your loved ones. Seeking advice from more than just one person is helpful for solving situations because it gives you different opinions, helps you figure out what opinions most people agree on, and what you might not want to do in certain situations.
Getting advice from more than just one person gives you a lot of opinions. Everyone has their own way to handle situations or problems. So some people's opinions can be very similar to yours or the complete opposite. This can open up your mind on not just one problem, but many more in the future. It can be as simple as what chips should I get? Your friend might say a chip flavor that you would never try in a million years, but you try it out and turns out you like it! This opens up your mind in situations and how to handle them in different ways.
Another thing you learn is what opinions most people have in common. You hear a lot of advice from people but some of advice can be extremely similar to each other. This can help you find a good way on how to fix situations. It shows what most people agree on, and usually that is what can help you solve your situation the best. You tend to use advice that most people agree on so asking multiple people help you with what to do in tough situations.
Lastly some of the advice you receive you just don't think fits you or the way you like to handle things so you ask more people. Say you have drama between you and someone else, someone you ask might say fight that person but that's not really the way you want to handle it. So instead you ask more people for what they think you should do. This can help bring your mind to how you want to fix a situation. Everyone handles situations differently so this will can give you ideas on what to do and what not to do.
Seeking advice from multiple help you in many ways such as, giving you different opinions, what opinions people agree most on, and what not to do in certain situations. This really helps you clear your mind on how to solve a problem correctly and how you want to solve it. It also can narrow down ways you could solve a conflict.

C002A99091B1,"Sports?
Should the principal takeaway sports for people who have a C average? I think that you should only take sports away for kids with a D average. You should give the kids who are passing school the ones with the privileges. Kids with C' s could be trying really hard to pass and maybe that's the best they can do. i believe that kids who are passing school should get do to do things that they enjoy because they work hard at school and should get some kind of reward. I think kids with a D average need to try and work harder for what they want.
Although all kids do enjoy sports i think kids at school should have a passing grade to participate in after school activities. For example if a child has a an A-B average those children should be able to have there choice first, then the kids with C average could see what sports are left and pick.
Even though all kids should get do to sports its a matter of ho is can do sports and juggle a sort. There are some kids who cant handle school so i dint think that if they cant handle school they cant handle school and a sport. to be on a sports tem]am you have to be able pass school as well.

You're not just assisting a car you are driving the car still. It isn't 100% on its own on the road you would still have to help steer at certain spots.

29F53618A9F7,"Dear Principal,
I think we should make it required that all students perform community service. Some people may think that it takes too much time, but i don't think so. Yes, it does take time away from things you want to do, but helping people in need is probably the best way out.
Taking part in community service helps people in need or helps the community in general. For example, we could help clean up litter on our school grounds to make our school look amazing and make it better for the environment. The school could tutor the elementary kids with math and reading.
Community service is a awesome way to show that you care about your surroundings. We can show that we care by planting flowers in front of the school, picking up trash, recycling, and many more. If we all work together and try to make an effort then we can do community service all the time.
Making community service required sounds like a good idea to me. It could help people, the environment, maybe even the world. People aren't even trying to do it today. Making it required could help that. It could push people into helping others. Eventually we could not make it required and it wouldn't be a problem, they would see that community service is fun and it makes you feel good inside.

by the Office of the Federal Register, ""The Electoral College process consists of the selection of th electors, the meeting of the electors where they vote for President and Vice President, and the counting of the electoral votes by Congress."" Basically we vote for our electors which then they vote for the President which seem to be working just fine why change it?
There are many resons why people are in favor of changing the Electoral College for popular vote. In the article
""Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong""
by Bradford Plumer he asks ""Can voters control whom their electors vote for?"" Then answers himself with ""Not always."" This may be true but voters do get to vote for thier electors and it is the voters job to vote for the one they believe will choose the right president. The people need to put faith in thier electors, and even if the Electoral College was changed to popular vote they would have to vote for the president and put faith in him or her to make the right decisions for them, is they same basic thing but having electors are just another step.
""The Electoral College restores some of the weight in the political balance that large states (by population) lose by virtue of the mal-apportionment of the Senate decreed in the Constitution"" This was stated in the article ""
Five reasons to keep our despised method of choosing the President""
by Richard A. Posner. This is a very good point he made, the larger states get more attention than the smaller states when it comes to popular voting in presidental elections because they have a much larger population giving them more votes.
When it comes to popular voting there have been times where no canidate has a mojority cast of votes and the Electoral College Prevents that problem. In 1968 Nixon received 43 percent pluraltiy or more votes than the other canidates but still not receving a clear majority of votes in the popular votes same with Clinton in 1992 but they both won majority in the Electroral College, so there was no need for and run-off election.
I believe that we shouldn't change the Electoral College for popular votes the way we arevoting now is working just fine and it makes it so larger states like Texas don't get more of an impact on the election because of thier population than smaller states like Rhode Island. Also the Electoral College prevents Run-off elections. Even though some believe the Electoral College as an anachronism I think that the Electoral College is still a good way of voting.

7727F4D58387,"Dear principal,
We have heard that you would like to change the school policy of allowing students to play sports only if they have a B average. I really think that this is a good idea. Some students just don't try because they think are big shots at sports, but if you make this the new policy all student will have to try in academics to be able to play the sports they love. It will bring up the school's GPA and will get more student to actually try in school. Maybe it will actually get people to think for themselves instead of following what other people do.
All those superficial football player, baseball players and cheerleaders will actually have to try if the want to stay on the their teams. They will have to study and pay attention during class. They will have to take time out to do homework. If they don't, they will never be able to play their favorite sports.
Our school's GPA isn't really to high. We don't have a lot of student like the other district schools. Our school is a town school so we only have as many kids as our town has. That wouldn't really matter if our town wasn't so superficial or if more kids cared about school. In our town people don't like coming to school. All they care about is ""Jersey Shore"" and what's in or out in fashion. That isn't what life's about. It's about getting as far as you can and doing great things. Maybe that would be the case if this school policy changes.
Most people get sidetracked into following what others do instead of thinking for themselves. This is not to be ment literally. When you go out with friends you really don't make time to do homework because you might get laughed at or mocked, so you just stay hushed and do your homework rushed later. If our schools policy was changed all students would have to make time to actually try and do homework. Hopefully it would be easier to stand up for yourself in what you want to do.
Having our school policy changed would not only bring up our entire school GPA but it would actually make people try in school. It would also probably give people more confidence to speak up for what they want to do. Not only would this be a great idea this would benefit everyone in our district.

Although you might feel comfortable at home,doing your school work from home can be a big distraction rather than doing your work at school. Some schools allow students to attend classes at home but doing than can cause laziness and can be disturbing to the brain. Students should not be allowed to attend classes at home because, students might get more distracted if they do their work from home, students might understand better if their at school, and you can get physical help from your teacher.
To begin with, allowing students to do there class work from home can be distracting. For example, Generic_Name has really good grades and his behavior is astonishing so his counselor and his teacher decided since this was happening he could take his classes from home. Generic_Name and his parents thought this was a great idea until two weeks later when his teacher and parents started to see his grades drop. Generic_Name's parents were beginning to think it was his teachers fault, but it was Generic_Name's fault, he was so distracted by video games and other things he didnt really make time to do his school work. So if Generic_Name would have stayed in school his grades would have looked the same.
Another reason, students might understand better. There are some students who might not understand something, but there to scared or shy to come out and say it. so allowing those who dont really talk to stay at home and take there classes at home what makes you think that they want to be stared at through the computer. For example Generic_Name is a very shy person but she gets her work done. She often struggles with her class work she feels that if she takes her classes through a computer screen it will attract more attention to her an she would be laughed at.
Then, you can get physical help from your teacher. There is nothing wrong with getting help from your teacher, but even then if you take your classes at home how is the teacher going to help you it would be harder for the teacher to because, she might not know what you need help on. You might feel like your going to disturb the class just to ask for help from a computer screen.
So although schools might think it would be better to take your classes at home remember that, students might get more distracted if they work from home, students might understand better, and you can get physical help from your teacher.

D1200B924E51,"Dear, senator
As a student learning more and more about the world we live in I understand that there has been problems deciding weather or not congress should continue to use the electoral college the elect our nationals new or future presidents. I believe that the race for presidency in just a huge game and the electoral college is just a great tool that is used in this game to find a faster way to win. But some people probably don't even know how to use it which is why the problem was arroused.
Taking aways the electoral college is like playing a game that have no obsticles nor opponents to challege you. Nothing in life is fare or cheep and by only using popular votes is to cheat the candidates of the true experience of running for what they want. If you or me were to run for president I'm sure we would want to have the oppertunity to use the electoral college to our advantage.
I believe the electoral chollege should continue to be used and nothing hsould change about how our stong nation selects our leaders because with change comes new obsticals and with those leeps and jumps comes errors. To change the way something has been done for such a long time would be like asking to distroy something and rebiuld it all the way back from the begining. I think that as a nation these problems are nothing to us, Why creat a big problem out of a simpler problem when we can just let it be and work our way arround the problems we face together.

DCEFAC68750A,"Schools all across the nation are requiring students to complete projects over summer break. Research shows that these assignments are extremely helpful to a students learning power. Although there are benefits for completing these summer projects, students and teachers are conflicted with one major underlying issue. Should teachers design the assignments, or students?
From personal experience, teachers should definitely design summer projects for students. When I was in the seventh grade, my science teacher gave us a project to complete over the summer, but there was no strict topic on the assignment. Our teacher told us, ""complete this project over summer break and be sure to come up with a creative design for your assignment."" Given these vague directions, students created poorly structured projects that included little, to the very least of science material within their work. Why were their projects created so poorly? It is simple, over summer break the last thing on a students mind is school work, but when assigned a project that allows the student to design it however they desire, their work will inevitably lead to a disaster.
A recent study showed that students who were assigned a project that was designed by a teacher increased the likelihood of having higher grades when the next school year started. The logical reasoning behind this conclusion is because teachers know what topics the students should focus on over break. Teacher designed projects challenge a students intelligence by enabling them to put in time and effort into their work rather than putting in little to no dedication at all. For example, if an individual was given a teacher designed project about pollution and how it affects our world, the student would be required to put in as much effort possible into the specific topic that is assigned, rather than creating a sorry topic of their own.
Given this information, hopefully schools all across the nation will continue to assign teacher designed projects over the summer. By doing so, it is certain students will learn more, be more attentive on a specific topic, and enable them to do their absolute best on any future assignment. Please take the time to share this issue with as many individuals as you can to fight against this growing problem.

Now this is a pro or con sustain,not every kid is gonna commit to going. So there's pros and cons in this I know that but deciding if its something I truly believe in then no.

Students should perform community service as for it goes a long way.

I went around and threw away litter trash in near by neighborhoods and mine. Off course it was time consuming but it help me realize to take pride in where I live and make it look better. Not many people do that now a days. This possibly get you into a career by help others and go far enough to a point where you could invent a car that doesn't run of anything but your own thoughts.

7B078F57DA7D,"Many schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break. Usually these projects are designed by the teacher to either help review past information or to introduce new information to the student. Most of the time these projects are not completed by many students. Summer projects should be designed by students because students who have already taken the class understand the basic knowledge to be successful in the class, students understand what other students will and will not do, and students know what the teacher expects of you.
Students who have already taken the class understand the basic knowledge to be successful in the class. For example Generic_Name, who has already taken Prerequisite Calculus the past year, knows exactly what they learned throughout the year and what basic knowledge she would have liked to know before she began the class. She could make a detailed assignment with all the information needed to be fully prepared for the class while the teacher can only speculate what the students know or dont know. With this information students will come better prepared to the first day of class because they already know what to expect and have viewed some of the information in the, student made, summer project. Another example of students understanding the basic knowledge to be successful in the class is when they all fail the test based on the summer project including, the ones who completed the project. Many of the students believe that the project did not help them fully grasp the concepts presented in it. With their new found knowledge of what is expected to be known on the test they can now help other students by giving them a summer project that will help them understand the concepts fully. This will keep students from having that first test be a failure and have to work the whole entire quarter to bring it up. Also with this information from former students they will be better prepared for the more advanced topics, now that they know the basics. Even if the teacher is able to make a summer project that helps the students understand the basics, they still don't understand what many students will and will not do.
Throughout the summer many students have multiple things to do including sports, work, and hanging out with friends that they have not seen in a while. Students understand this and realize what another student will and will not do. For example Generic_Name, who has recently taken AP Physics, was unable to finish his summer project because he does swimming, basketball, and soccer over the summer. He did not do the assignment because it required him to sit down for multiple hours at a time, that he did not have, if he wanted to fully understand the topics it was going over. Generic_Name and many other students would be more likely to complete the project if they were able to make the project have multiple small sections that can be completed in a half hour instead of 5 hours. This will allow the students time between activities to complete the project, making it more manageable. Many teachers do not understand the limited amount of time some students have over the summer for school work. Another example of students understanding what other students will and will not do is Generic_Name who has a very short attention span, and was unable to finish the 50 page summer project. Many students believe that if they were to shorten the project students would be able to complete it and have better results on it. With this shortened project students will be encouraged to complete it, knowing that it will not consume all of their free time over the summer. They will also show more work and have more quality work because they have less to do. This will allow them to understand the topics more and be more successful in the class. Even if the teacher was able to make a project that all students were willing to do, former students know what the teacher expects of his/her students.
Students who have already taken the class know exactly what the teacher expects from a student in order to have an A or a B in the class. For example Generic_Name, who is taking Prerequisite Chemistry, has failed almost every test and quiz in the class, but fully understands the concepts being taught. Soon he realizes that the teacher expects every bit of work to be shown for every single problem. This includes showing the formula before you even start your work. Knowing this a student would be able to inform another student of this in the summer project. This would allow the students to prepare to show all their work on the tests and quizzes by practicing on the summer project. Many teachers try to make an example on the first quiz by taking points off for students not showing all their work. With the student made project other students would be prepared for this and not fail by forgetting to show all their work. Another example of a student knowing what the teacher expects is when the teacher makes all the work optional including the summer project but, still expects you to know the information. In the summer packet students will be able to inform other students of what information is important to know going into that first week of school. This will allow the students who complete the assignment to be prepared for the school year. Even if the teacher helps the students by telling them the more important information on the packet students who have already taken the class know the basic knowledge needed to pass the class and know what student are willing to do.
In conclusion summer projects should be designed by students because students who have already taken the class know what the teacher is looking for in the students, and know the information needed to pass the class with an A. Also students understand that many students have very limited time to complete a huge assignment over the summer; therefore, they will account for that while creating the project.

7E026B760EA0,"Dear Principal ,
I think you should change the policy, because students probably don't get an ""B"" just like that cause of there grades or low, and some kids play good for sports, and other kids would like to join.
First, thing I have to say about that is that some of this kids grades are low, but they be trying hard to pull up their grades but it won't wroth it cause you want let them participate because you want everybody that has an ""A"" or a ""B"" average. Another reason, why because students would look at you, and say ""we tried "", and it would not be right to see other students playing.
Secondly, reason because people that you say wont participate in sports can really play good, and probably will be something in life, but they could not play cause of you.
Lastly, other people would like to join instead of the people that have that good grade. Because students don't want to be in the class rooms all day just doing work or any other thing, instead of having fun with the other kids, and talking to their friends.
Conclusion, change the policy because other people would like to join.

548A58E068EB,"Day after day you do the same thing, nothing new happens and all you do is participate in the classes you have to take.
Well now your your school is allowing you to decide what activities or clubs you want be a part of, they are letting you decide.
I believe students should participate in an extracurricular activity. It will allow students to try something new, expand their opportunities, and meet new people.
You can't live life doing one thing everyday, it's not healthy. If you really like something and you do it everyday that is great, but it just isn't good for your body.
It can affect you mentally and physically.
Everyone must try to exercise all parts of their body and not just one part.
Another reason is that students might be scared or predict they won't like it.
How do they know it will be bad?
I remember my mom made me take a Lego building class in third grade and I thought I was going to hate it, and I did at first.
The reason I did is because I went into that class with the wrong mindset.
I needed to go in with a happier attitude.
So the next time I did and it was actually really fun.
Taking that class help grow my love for engineering.
Now I take a robotics class and plan on pursuing my love of engineering all the way through high school.
Never judge a book by it's cover.
Give something new a try and maybe it will turn out great.
An extracurricular activity will help increase opportunities.
It is not good to just have one skill or practice.
It is cool that someone is really proficient in one area, but jobs want people to be proficient in a lot of areas.
They like people with a variety of skills.
Having that after school activity or even activities will help create new skills.
It is the school giving you a new set of skills.
Also, some people might think that they are going to pursue one topic, but realize they like something else.
My father told me that he wished his middle school had as many extracurricular activities as mine.
It took him all the way up to his junior year of high school to realize he like construction and civil engineering.
Our schools give us so may opportunities and ways to broaden our horizon, so why not take advantage of it.
Extracurricular activities are great ways to meet new people.
In my first year of middle school I participated in a running club.
I liked to run, but I had no idea who was in the club.
To me everyone was complete strangers.
We would do buddy running which is basically where you both run at the exact same pace and push each other to go faster.
My buddy was Generic_Name I didn't even know his name for the first week.
One day I decided to talk to him and we instantly became friends.
After that running became so much easier and we both improved are mile times by a lot.
If I didn't try to talk to Generic_Name that day I would be short one best friend right now.
I am positive that if any student participated in a club they would have to talk to someone new at least once.
And they might find that someone to be the funniest kid ever or the nicest.
They will never know until they join an after school activity.
Students should participate in at least one extracurricular activity.
It will help to find new career paths and hobbies, increase a persons opportunities, and make new relationships.
If a school is giving you a chance to have all of the thing I have listed, why wouldn't you participate in an after after school club.",,601,Mandatory extracurricular activities,Independent,"Your principal has decided that all students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity.

7C9C2DF37B67,"Driverless cars have many postiive and negative effects and ideas that they could have on our world.
The driverless car that Google cofounder Sergey Brin invisions ""would use half the fuel of today's taxis."" (P1)
This would allow for the United States to purchase less fuel and in the end prevent us from spending so much money.
These kind of cars would be a great help to anyone making a long distance trip.
You could begin your trip one day and fall asleep and have driven several hours.
The idea has been tested by many different companies and is still being developed to this day.
Driverless cars would be a great benefit to the people of America, it would allow for people to save money on gas, and not have to worry about crashing because the car would drive itself.
With all of the sensors and other driverless cars, it would seem that the manufacturers could prevent accidents.
I believe that driverless cars could be a great benefit to this country, but they cannot replace all cars with them.
We still need fire trucks and police vehicles to keep people safe, but they would have a great impact on our nation.
One way that some companies are making driverless cars is by using ""smarter roads."" (P3)
General Motors for expample designed a concept car that could run on a special test track.
This track would send radio signals to the front end of the car.
Another way that some companies are trying to make driverless cars are by using sensors.
Google modified a Toyota Prius with ""position-estimating sensors, a rotating sensor, four automotive radar sensors, a GPS receiver, and an inertial motion sensor."" (P4)
Google used all of these sensors in different ways to begin to develop their own version of the driverless car.
The driverless car has been attempted by many different companies and each one has their own version with their own flaws.
Driverless cars seem to be a thing of the future, but in reality it could be here before we know it.
With all the different technology and all the money some of these big companies have it is a wonder the driverless car is not invented already.
The different companies have designed driverless cars now that still require the assistance of a driver.
The cars can brake, accelerate, and stop by themselves.
""All are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills, such as navigating through work zones and around accidents."" (P7)
This allows for some people to argue that driverless cars are not reliable, and it is not that at all.
Driverless cars have no way of knowing what to do in a situation like that.
The smart thing is to have the driver take over in that spot and would prevent a potential accident.
The problem with this is that the car needs some way of notifying the driver if he falls asleep.
Some designers have thought to use a vibration in the seat to alert the driver.
The Google car for example has a voice that announces when the driver needs to take over.
""Other options under consideration are flashing lights on the windshield and other heads-up displays."" (P7)
One big argument when it comes to driverless cars is the potential for an accident.
The worry is that if the technology in the car quits working and the car crashes, who do you blame?
To me it seems like the manufacturer should be blames since they designed the car with the technology that failed.
The driver had no control over the technology, he just had to wait until the car needed his assistance.
This argument is one of many when it comes to driverless cars and it is an important one.
If the car crashes somedbody has to get blamed and if the driver is not actually driving why would he get blamed.
This could be one debate that pushes back the release of the driverless car until someone comes up with a compromise.
In conclusion, I believe that driverless cars would be a great benefit to our country as a whole.
I assume and hope that a company will release a driverless car in the next few years to allow me to experience such a thing.
It would be like a roller coaster.
You do not know how you are going to get where you are going and do not know how bumpy the ride will be but it will be an adventure.
That is what intrigues me the most about driverless cars, the adventure that is coming.
""Tesla has projected a 2016 release for a car capable of driving on autopilot 90 percent of the time.
Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Nissan plan to have cars that can drive themselves by 2020."" (P10)
This just makes me even more excited for the release of driverless cars, it could happen in the next 4 years.
A driverless car would be a great invention and would allow the United States to make money if they were able to produce it and sell it.
Driverless cars are coming to us soon and they are going to excite many people because of the technology put into it, and also the seemingly magic wayt hat it drives you.

I wondered if anyone ever thinks that cell phones would become a way of life. I wondered if anyone has ever been told that talking or texting on a cell phone while driving could be your last call or text to anyone. Cell phones are our way to communicate. Without cell phones we don't feel important. Cell phones and driving allows people to show off to their friends while driving.
If a cell phone can easily distract a person while driving than why are they in such big demand?
Cell phones and driving just don't go hand and hand. If you turn on the television there is somebody talking about the best cell phone company in America. Telephone companies should have some responsibility when it comes down to texting and driving. The telephone companies have commercials that make a person feel like they have to have the latest phone, with the latest techniques, and the best 5G plan. If people would just sit back and look at how my grandma said she wrote and visited family members growing up in the country. Do you know how far a country mile is from my house? A country mile is a long way. It would take me at least an hour to get from my house to my grandma's house in Columbus, Georgia. If I wanted to go to my grandma's house in Albany, Georgia I would be walking for at least two days or longer to get where I am going.
If cell phones are so great why anyone hasn't came up with a device to turn the cell phone off automatically when driving. Now that would be technology in the making! If telephone companies and car manufactures could come up with a smart car that would be something to drive. Just imagine riding down the road and you have to call your friend to let him know you just saw his girl riding wither mom in the car right next to him. All of a certain the cell phone goes completely dead when you try to text or make a phone call. There is no sound and no light on your cell phone. Technology would be great if that would happen while someone is driving and texting or talking on the cell phone, the phone goes completely dead.
2020 has proven to be one of those years we'll never forget. The texting and cell phone law went into affect in2019 and I still see people driving and talking. The law is supposed to punish those people holding a hand device like a phone in their hands while driving.
It's funny, the same people who are enforcing the law the police are the one's driving and holding a held hand device in their hands while on duty. Well, I see the police are the ones breaking the law by holding a hand held device while driving. . So, who is supposed to enforce the law that we cannot have any mobile device in our hands while driving if the policies breaking the law as well? I guess that is left up to anyone who wants to follow the law. People are dying each and every day from texting and driving. It's simple, just drive and talk later. I know people are going to say, ""I'm letting my friend know I am on the way."" Didn't you just call your friend to let them know you are on the way before you left the house? I feel that laws are made for a reason and they should not be broken by anyone. If no one is following the law than why do we have a law?
It would be so simple to just put the phone down and drive. Simple to just put the hand held devices down and drive in order to save lives. JUST PUT IT DOWN!

Those who disagree with student's physically going to class state illnesses and social anxiety are important factors, but this is not true.

Going to school is important for a multiple reasons. One being is that the student can meet new people. This encourages them to be outgoing. Because of this, strong friendships can grow. Attending school can also grow ones social skills. Social skills are needed in most careers to be successful. Additionally, they can learn how to deal with other peoples success and failures. One can be inspired by others. In school different people form different walks of life come together and build strong bonds that could last a lifetime. Consequently, this helps one broaden their horizon.
There are further reasons why physically attending school is important. If one is home schooled they might not be able to participate in sports, even through they might enjoy the sport. Sports can be healthy for a students allowing them to pursue something they are passionate about.

Our founding fathers decided to establish it, It's a weird system to follow though. No matter who has the popular vote, over fifty percent of the votes, will not win because of this system. I believe the people should truely decide on who becomes president, not a system.
When we vote, were just picking someone to vote for us again. If thats true then whats the point of voting? Over 60 percent of voters now would perfer a direct election because the ones who get over fifty percent of the ""peoples"" votes seem to lose just because of this system. John F.

People are realizing that votes aren't what they seem they are anymore, people in California and Texas stopped voting because they believed their vote had no effect which is close to the truth. More and more people are not voting, the main reason is this system.

The kids can use their cell phone after school but not anytime during the school hours . Policy one states that kids cant use their phones in class but can use them during lunch hours. Still i don't go with policy one because kids can easily text answers back and forth. Its as easy as the kids remembering the test or quiz questions and asking him or her about it and then going back in class and getting it right. That is no fair, that is just cheating.
Also, i believe policy number one is wrong because maybe there is some kids at school who don't have phones. Then the people with phones will make fun of the kids without phones. This is just bullying. Policy number one can lead into violence and many types of bullying. Some things or examples of things that could happen during policy one would be like a kids taking pictures and sending them all over the school and just making kids feel bad.
Policy number one is definitely wrong. I believe that policy number two is good because all the nonsense kids do on their cell phones can happen after school. It doesn't need to be around the school environment. Policy two i think will make many students mad, yes. But is it always happy times? No, school inst suppose to be for fun. It for learning or the education that matters. The cell phones being allowed is going to bring down the learning instead of helping it out and making it better.

Another reason this would be a good idea is if a student isnt having a good day and they are upset and the computer recognizes it, then the computer could transfer them to a page that could cheer them up and put a smile on there face, which could help them get through the school day. It could also send a signal to a teacher that could lead to help from them. Another reason i suggest this tool is if a student gets very upset about something and the computer notices it, then it could help a teacher get a councelor if the student is having problems at home or with other people in the classrooms. The Facial Action Coding System could also come to help for students who might be suffering from depression and no one noticed the computer could help.

0DE08F4053C5,"I believe that there is no merit in requiring students to take part in an after school activity. I find that it is not beneficial for students to take part in activities outside of school. These activities give students no particular academic advancement or benefit. This time could be spend doing other things outside of school, for example sleep, homework, and extra help. Students also need time to themselves, so they can do the things that they enjoy. They want to have fun, and i am sure that there are more enjoyable things to do than spend more time at the place that students dislike the most.
First of all, most of the after-school activities give no benefit to the students. For example, yearbook will not help someone with their math exam. If you sign up for basketball this wont help with your science test retake on Monday. The time students waste on after-school activities could be better spent on this that will give them academic advancement or success. This will not give students the extra sleep, study time, or free time, this will only deplete it. There is no benefit in wasting more time at school where you wont be learning anything. I believe that students would appreciate it if the after-school activities were optional rather than mandatory. This would give students the option to attend and not the inconvenient requirement.
My second reason is that this time wasted on after-school activities could be used for better things. For example, extra help from a tutor so the student will be prepared for their exam. This time could also be used to get some sleep, which not only the students gravely need. Family is also a huge part of a students attitude inside and as well as outside of school, the student can use this time to spend with their family. The students acquire a substantial amount of homework every day, the tie after school ends is vital for students, because they need to complete the work that they acquire, which can be done more efficiently at home. It is simply unnecessary to require students to waste their time attending after-school when they have better things to be doing.
Finally, most students don't particularly enjoy school, they find it boring. The time after school is important for students, They can do the things that they enjoy. For example, They can play sports, play games, and they can spend time with their family, but the students can only do those things if they have the time. Having fun is not the only thing that students can do when they get home, they also have work to do. If the time is wasted at school the student wont have the time or energy to do the things that they enjoy doing. The students deserve time to themselves so I cannot agree to a proposal that disrupts that. I believe that this is not the best decision for the students, Because they will not have the time to enjoy themselves.
So in conclusion, I disagree with the principal requiring students to attend after-school. It gives no particular benefit to the Student.

0FC825C2C41F,"Dear TEACHER_NAME,
The year is 2011, almost every kid in the 8th grade has a cell phone. If we could only use it when we aren't in school than what's the point? If kids were able to use their cell phones in class, it would allow children to focus more in class and they would respect the rule of turning their phones off in class.
I believe that it would be a good idea to fallow through with policy number one. During free periods and lunch hours, there is no harm in allowing students to use their cell phones. Because there is no headphones that go along with cells, students will be able to hear the instructor during an emergency situation or any situation. In fact, according to scientific researchers, when children have a full break at school with the technology that is given to them they will be able to focus more in school, because they were given access to their cell phones.
Last year when my brother was fighting cancer, I wanted to check my cell phone every second of the day to make sure my mom didn't text me to tell me something went wrong. Because I was not given the privilege to check my phone, I could not focus on what was being taught to me. I was too worried about my brother, not being able to know if he was okay. Also, if we were given cell phone use children would be able to communicate to their parents with out disturbing people in the office. Every time I need to call home to tell them my practice or game was cancelled, i feel like I am intruding in the offices business. If we were able to use our cell phones it would also be a faster way to communicate with people in or outside school. Because it is a free period or lunch there is no way that we could cheat in class or be disrespectful or rude by using our cell phones.
If kids were able to use their cell phones when they aren't in class, they will respect the rule about having cell phones in class and they will accept the privilege given to them.
Because we don't have cell phone privilege in class now, children use their cells in class. Covering them with a book or texting below their desks. If we had the opportunity to use our cells during out free periods, kids wouldn't need to use their phones in the class. They would accept the challenge of trust that the teachers are giving them and move on to fallow the rule. If teachers check that the phone is off during a regular class or even take them away during a test, there would be no way to cheat during the exam. In fact, if teachers take away the cell during a quiz, the student could do their exam and then get their cell right back after class. Both the student and the teacher would be happy.
According to teen magazine, ""It is the parents idea to give their teen a phone. Why should the teacher take that right away?""
If children were allowed cell phones in school, they could focus better and class, and they be able to respect their teachers rules better knowing they are trusted enough to have their cell phones in school.

multiple opinions
Have you ever asked someone for advice but it didn't work out? That's why it's always good to ask more than one person because you can get variety of choices and It means unique and different opinions.
For example you wanted to go on a trip for summer break to Florida but the tickets are sold out so you ask your family for some advice. Some say Generic_City, Generic_City, or china. now you have some different ideas to choose from for your trip in summer break.
Can help you make better choices
Let's say your at a water park and you had a 12 foot-long sandwich from sub-way. You and your friends after decide to go down a water side so you ask one of your friends if you should go with he says yes. you ask your other friend if you should he says no because you won't feel good after. This why asking more than one person can help you make better choices because people have different view of things. This can also help you by getting you out of trouble because asking other gives you a different type of perspective a different way on how to handle things.
Different point of view ever had problem and needed help or needed a different view of things? well you can by asking for others advice this helps because you can get a different point of view of the problem and different ideas on how to handle it. for example Generic_Name has a history test in a week and he's not sure how to handle it so he asked his friends. His friend Generic_Name says to make a mini quiz for him self and see how he dose. His other friend Generic_Name says just make a study cards so Generic_Name went home that day and look at the different ways he can ace the test.

4A131BB88756,"Evolution is an factor of life that effects us all in some way shape or form. As we get new ideas, and put them into pratice we are supporting this factor. With the evoloutinon of cars, going from mauel, to driver less is not only a great, and intuitive idea but also a major part in the evolution of automobiles. I feel as though we should support this advancement for it would prove benifical to a overwhelming number of people. Though I support this idea, I do see the risks, and potential problems that would accompany such a machine. But in my opion the benifits out way the risks.
How many people have died, or have been injured from automobile accidents? The answer generates, a massive amount of concern, and anxiety, though we are the most sophisticated spieces on earth, we also tend to make alot of mistakes. According the the article, self driving cars have gone nearly half a million miles without any major, or minor accidents. That is not only impressive, but also reasuring, well at least to me. Now im not saying that because of this fact the pearson inside the car should go ahead, and take a nap, because machines can't do everything for us.
When i was learning to drive my Grandfather, made told me that when your on a express way the best thing to do is to through it in crusie control, and take a nap. Of coruse this was a joke, when driving the driver must always be alert for possible incursions. I feel the same should be said for self driving cars, for their some road conditons that the car itself cannot handel. The article refers to certain times when the driver should have to take over such as; when construction is taking place, or when navigating around a accident. The driver may not have to drivew always when in one of these cars but when situations such as the ones previously metioned arise,I feel the driver should take the wheel.
To many lives are lost do to driving while under the influence or ""drunk driving"" the alcohal in the drivers system affeects the respons time and, critical thinking skills, wich in turn causes major threats to both the driver, and others around them. Now the question is should someone who is drunk be abel to drive a sekf driving car? My answer is no, because the car may still need the driver to operate the vehical through difficult situations the car itself can't navigate thorugh. I metioned some situations earlier, of when the sober, and normally functioning driver would need to take over but would it be safe to have some one who is drunk to drive through a work zone, or around a accident? So before the driver enters the vechile they should have to be abel to pass a breathalizer test to let the car drive on its own.
Now I know that in my introduction that I said that I was pro self driving cars, but all through out my bodies I talked about how many regulations there should be, but thats only cause I seeboth the benifits, and the dangers. Yes the world should be open to the idea of self driving cars but the world should also note that this isn't a way to completely get out of driving for good, and we also should realize that driving while were impaired is a bad idea wheteher or not the car can drive itself.

F20FACCF5373,"Dear Principal,
On your subject of deciding to make all the students do community service as a requirement I would like to give you my thoughts on what I would do if I were in your position. To me I don't think that it should be a requirement. For reasons soon to be explained! Although I do think that you should encourage community service often!
The reason I believe that you should not make it required is because of some student unwillingness. Usually I have found that when people are doing community service people find it rude when the person helping out is grouchy or doesn't think that they should have to be helping with it. This can sometimes make people unhappy with the service of the help and may not want it again which may cause people who actually want to do it be unable to help later on when they volunteer to.
This means that if you force the students who do not want to be helping out of the community on there free time it may cause them to do the things people wouldn't like. I personally know that I can end up being rude to people when I am forced to do something I wouldn't like. Now this leads me to my next point.
I believe that you should be encouraging the students to be helping out the community often. This will get students who will be willing to help out in a good manner to do it. That will cause the community to be happy with us children and it will benefit all of us.
I personally do not end up helping out all that much in our community, because often I do not find the jobs fun. There is one job I have always enjoyed though it is called Feed My Starving Children. Going to this place with my friends from my church was really a great time. I think that if we went to a field trip to a place like this that is a fun way to help out the community it may get kids excited to help out around town!
Here are some of the things you do at feed my starving children if you are considering this. The main goal is to pack up food to send to starving people around the world example Haiti. You have people take positions packing different foods required in a good diet in a certain order in a bag. You also have someone (has to be an adult) seal the bags shut with a little machine they have. Then they are packed into boxes that will be shipped to the different places. I warn you that this is a Christian organization but they will not make anyone who does not the follow the religion pray at the end with them or anything of that sort! I do think this would be a great idea.
I would like to thank you for reading this and taking your time on it. It means a great lot that you may consider my idea's. This is your choice though and I will take no disrespect if you do not agree with me. Thank you again please choose well (I am sure you will)!

89CFF87ACA7B,"Summer assignments are the bane of any student's desire to enjoy the three months of freedom from school. However, they are critical in order to ensure that the student continues his or her education while not in school. With this in mind, these summer projects should be designed by the teacher to allow for more a more in-depth education about the subject when the school year starts up once again.
The point of summer projects, first and foremost, is to ensure that students gain or retain requisite knowledge for the course. This means that the student is trusted to enrich himself or herself with the required knowledge to complete the assignment. One example of such is the summer assignment required for AP Calculus BC at Generic_School. Students were required to complete a 16-page packet that covered all of the material that was covered the previous year: parametrics, polar coordinates and systems, limits, derivatives, applications of limits and derivatives, trigonometry, and so on. They were then expected to take a test on all of that material two weeks after the school year started up again. The purpose of this assignment was to ensure the student retained the requisite knowledge before progressing further into the school year. This meant that only two weeks were required to review the material from the previous year, allowing the class to progress at an accelerated rate because the students had already displayed mastery over the previous year's material.
Another example of a summer assignment ensuring that students gain necessary knowledge prior is the summer assignment for AP English Language and Composition. This assignment differs from the previous example in that it focused more on educating students on how to compose and analyze well-written pieces of literature. Students were required to read two books:
On Writing by Stephen King and
Educated by Tara Westover.
On Writing , a memoir about King's life and a guide on how to write, taught students about how to compose meaningful writing, covering aspects like cognizance of tone, diction, sentence and paragraph length, visual appeal of the text, conveying detail properly, and so on. Students were required to create a ""writer's toolbox"" just as King did in his book, listing out seven tips in King's memoir and seven additional tips that the student had learned from previous experience. Such tips included not beginning a sentence with a conjunction, weaving simple, compound, and complex sentences to make a piece of writing more appealing, creating a sound structure for an essay, and keeping the audience in mind when writing. Students were then required to apply those skills in analyzing the rhetorical choices of Tara Westover in her book,
Educated . Students chose two aspects of writing that they found from reading
On Writing and analyzed how Westover used those aspects to create her autobiography. This allowed students to learn how to analyze a piece of literature from a rhetorical perspective rather than a literary perspective. Because students had this introductory experience, they were able to conduct rhetorical analyses at a more in-depth level during the school year.
Summer assignments, annoying as they are, are definitely useful tools to give students the opportunity to establish foudational knowledge for a course they will be taking when the school year starts once again. As such, these projects should be designed by the teachers of the course so they can move at an accelerated rate or spend more time speaking about smaller details or more complex ideas within the course. A student would not be able to craft such assignments because summer plans, vacations, and other priorities would take precedence over further education. Thus, it falls upon the teacher to ensure that the required knowledge is gained for the course before the start of the school year.",,621,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

If we were to change the way we elect our president im sure citizens would be more pleased with the over all outcome. People vote on who they think is best fit to represent them and give them the best over all outcome. When using the ""electoral college"" you are not voting for the president but you are voting for a state of electors. It would be easier to simply allow presidents to get the popular vote in order to make the election more fair all around. The ""electoral college"" is unfair to voters because of the winner-take-all system. It is time to change our voting methods because the ""electoral college"" system is outdated, irrational, and unfair to citizens.
When people place their vote they belive they are putting in a vote for the president they choose, not for a slate of electors. The ""electoral college"" is a very non-democratic way of selecting your president. In a way the government is deceiving their citizens by the way our voting method is set up. When people vote they feel a sense of independence because they are allowed to choose who they would like to represent them in congress. But instead once they place their vote it goes to electors rather than a simple vote towards the one they selected. If you were to change the way people's votes were counted it would be easier and faster to elect a president and get him into office to fix world-wide problems.
In all three articles at least one section has made it clear on their opinion to abolish the electoral college. Figures such as Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, and even the U.S. Chamber of Commerce have agreed on abolishing the electoral college. When voting for president you are voting for a slate of electors, but do we even know who these supposed electors are! Are votes are being manipulated and we are not even aware of who is doing it. If we can not vote for are president without going through electors we should be able to vote for the electors who are voting for are president. It is only fair that we have some say in everything that is going on. When votes are being placed we should be informed of all that is going on.
If you were to vote for your favorite tv show but your vote had to go through twenty different people all with different opinions you would be frustrated. Now imagine that scenario but with something extremely more significant than a televison show, the president. You are trusting possibly the next four years of your life with strangers in which you have never heard of before. It would only be fair if we could simply change the system to popular vote rather than electoral college.
If you switch to popular vote more people would be more likely to vote because they could have more confidence about their vote. They would feel free to make their own decision and trust it would not be tampered with by a stranger. People deserve a fair vote and with the popular vote that is what you are giving them. Because every living being deserves equality. Changing the system would not only be helpful for citizens but helpful for the congress. Instead of having random members of congress choose the president they can work on serious issues around the world. They can stop worrying about foolishness and do their jobs.
In conclusion changing the way people vote is easier for everybody. It saves time for electors and it gives people a chance to see who they are really voting for. Presidents would have to go to each state and appeal to them in order to get a vote. I belive that is what we need. They would be required to actually work for a position in office rather than speaking on whjat they are going to do and paying someone else to elect them. We should have faith in our president and know who we are voting for before we cast our vote. This system seems more fair and more modern to the twenty first century. This is a system most Americans would agree with. So to end my argument I simply say think before you act and truly try to do whats right.

6B0F04C32E08,"We live in a world where transportation is a must and most of the people around the world rely on themselves to get from A to B. Don't get me wrong there are some that choose public transportation opposed to privet/self transportation. They both have something in common, both are adding more pollution to the air, car accidents have the number one death rate, and they both add to taxes. Many countries are comeing up with a solution to all of these problems. Most countries are wanting to cut down the amount of automobiles their citizens are using on a day to day basis. Here are some reasons this could be benificial to you! Cutting down the amount of automobiles being used on a daily basis would take less money out of yor pocket and would be better for the enviroment, and it would be healthier and safer.
More and more countries are taking action to stop the large amout of cars being used daily. One way they are doing this is by having car-resticted areas, like in Vauban, Germany, ""Vauban streets are completely car-free..."", (Source 1: In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars, Elisabeth Rosenthal). By doing so, you wouldnt use your car very often or at all. This will reduced the amout of money you will have to spend on gas, car repair, or it could cut out the cost of buying a car entirely. More and more people will not have a need to buy/use a car and that will be extremely benificial to the Earth. This is because their will be less pollution and smog being produced by the running cars. Pairs, France is a big contributer to smog and they are now reducing the amount of allowed cars on their roads, ""The smog cleared enough Monday for the ruling French party..."",(Source 2: Paris bans driving due to smog,Robert Duffer). Paris has now lowered the amount of smog in their cities signifigantly.
With less pollution and smog life for the people will be a lot healthier. Just think about how much cleaner the air will be. Also, by not using a car you could walk or bike to your destinations and that will also be very benificial to your health. By not using cars, public thransportation, or just staying off the road in general you are cutting out the risk of being in a deathly car accident. By doing so life will be much safer. You will also cut out the stress and worry of driving. ""...When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way,..."", (Source 1: In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars, Elisabeth Rosenthal).
In the end, cutting down the amount of car and public transportation being used will be very benificial to everyone of all ages because it will take less of your money to get to your destinations and will cause less pollution which is better for the Earth, and it is much safer to be off the road ,as well as, healthier to walk or bike to your destinations.

FFC02BE9D865,"With the bounds of educational technology growing and expanding every day, new learning oppurtunities for students appear every day. For example, distance learning is a new program select schools offer that serves as an option for students to attend classes from home online. But is distance learning have greater benefits than being in the classroom physically? In fact, online schooling can be very hit or miss, and doesn't provide means of hands-on learning, personal assistance, and social enviornment that the true school classroom has.
For many classes, the ciriculum requires more than just readings from a textbook. Group activities, experiments, and other forms of hands-on learning simply can't be executed by just one student and their computer. Classrooms have the physical advantage in comarison to distance learning because they hold the unique resources necessary to bring a teacher's lesson to life. Many students require experiments, labs, and interactive work to truly learn and understand the topic. Online classes are usually limited to multiple choice questions and eduational videos. In this circumstance, a physical classroom has the upper-hand in thoroughly presenting a lesson.
One of the most important aspects of education is being able to attain personalized help almost immediately in your time of need. Whereas with distance learning, if you have a question about a lesson or assignment, you have to email your teacher and wait for a response. Most likely, by the time you receive a reply, you will have already moved on or forgotten about the lesson's contents entirely. Additionally, it's near impossible to be able to solve a students inquiries through an email thread. More often than not, getting help on a topic you don't understand in your online course can be more frustrating than understanding the topic itself. Whereas in a classroom, a teacher can come to your aid as quickly as you can raise your hand. Then, the teacher can provide a physical or verbal demonstration to clear up any discrepancies from the lesson. While online learning can be efficeint, it truly wasn't built with challenged students in mind.
When partaking in an online course, you are left alone with your computer and very few outside sources to guide you. Not being able to have the social enviornment of a classroom can be detrimental to the student's learning cycle. Having classmates you can receive help from can be endlessly beneficial to learning a new topic. Not to mention, group projects build character, social skills, and a sense of responsibility; all things that distance learning wouldn't be able to grant you, working alone. The social structure of a classroom is necessary to create a positive learning experience.
While online schooling can provide varied learning oppurtuinites for students nationwide, the difficulties outweigh the benefits. In regards to hands-on learning, personal assistance, and social enviornment, the physcial classroom is the method the executes these conveniences the greatest.

AA45F6AB9AA9,"A extracurricular is something you do out of school or maybe it's for a team in school but is something to get you to socialize , meet new friends,being active ,finding something you actually love to do and keeping you entertained
But for some people they do see it in that way and may feel like that is a way to get people out of there comfort zone . That's why if my principal decided to make me do an extracurricular activity I would disagree because some people are too busy and could cause stress, or they don't want to do an activity at school or they already are doing an activity or they not a very social person and thats why I would disagree.
One reason I would disagree is because some people are just way to busy and if principle makes them do an extracurricular activity that might cause stress to them and that could be adding more to their schedule which would be a struggle to maintain all of work I may have to do already especially as child . For example is someone has an activity out of school like dance on Monday and the principle makes them do another activity on that day it would be hard for them to stay after for that activity if she have another place to go already , and that's why that would be adding more to there schedule and would be hard to maintain another example is maybe I have a lot of school work I have to do or I have to study for a test and you don't have time to stay after for an activity that could also cause stress .Thats one reason why I disagree to making people do an extracurricular activity .
another reason I disagree is because some people aren't interested in what the school offers and if the principle makes them do something they don't want to do that would make them feel like they are forced to pick out of options they don't like . Say for example my school only offers basketball ,track and cheer leading ,but I really want to do soft ball that could be forcing me too do a sport I would not like to do . For another example say your school offers languages for and extracurricular activity like french and Spanish but he/she wanted to learn another language that would be be hard for me because maybe I only wanted learn language. That's another reason why I do disagree with making people do extracurricular activities.
The last reason I disagree with making people do extracurricular activities is because maybe i'm he/she is not a very social person and they do not like to meet new people and they are very shy it could make people uncomfortable and nervous .For example he/she is made to join an activity and they feel left out because everyone else has friends and are talking too people they make them feel bad because they are not a social person. Another example is say that may not be a very athletic person and thy have to participate in a sport that could also make them feel like they are forced to do something they would not like to do and make them feel uncomfortable as well ,and thats why I disagree with making people do extracurricular activity .
In conclusion that why if my principle made me do an extracurricular activity I would disagree because he/she might not want to anything in school or he/she are to busy or they not really social people ,and making people do extracurricular activity could cause stress, and more to there schedule and making people feel uncomfortable .That's why strongly disagree with making people do extracurricular activities ",,619,Mandatory extracurricular activities,Independent,"Your principal has decided that all students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity.

17D5674286DA,"Limiting car usage is a good idea. Limiting cars usage it a wonderful idea for many reasons. most people have the ability to live there life without cars, this would help cut back on pollution, and for most people it would be cheaper. Although some people may see this as a impossible way of living some of us do not.
To begin, people can live without cars people have done it before us and eventually people will do it after us. As shown in source 1 these people in Vauban, Germany have given up a life of cars for a simpler much quiter life in the suburbs. Life in this city has been condensed down into a one square mile area where people are able to go on with there everyday lives without having to get into a car to go somewhere. Life in this city is does not go completely without cars if these people need to leave the city they can simply walk to their very own parking space in the parking garage right on the outskirts of the city. these people have the ability to keep there cars but they have to buy a parking space when they buy there house you also generally wouldnt need your car unless you were going on a long drive that required you to leave the city. There is also the fact that there will be a day soon when we run oout of fossil fuels and what is a fossil fuel? gas. there will soon enough be a day where we dont have any gas and we will not be able to drive cars everywhere that we want.
Next, this would be one of the most effective ways to cut back on pollution. as shown in the 2nd source paris was struggling with a very bad polution problem that they needed to deal with. Paris was having the same sort of problem that beijing, china is having and beijing is the most poluted city in the world. so they banned all the cars that ended in a even number on monday and a odd number on tuesday. Just doing this for one day cut the amount of pollution in half. Imagine our worldwide polllution levels if driving was limited. The second largest form of pollution is cars so limmiting driving could even drop cars a few ranks back. Every part of getting to fossil fuels that fuel our cars is more and more pollution. gas is a very large pollutant and it causes alot of problems for our nation and one day there will be no more gas.
Furthermore, limiting driving would almost be cheaper for the people as talked about in source 4 less and less people have been getting there liscenses and driving cars because it isnt needed as much anymore. there are more ways of public transit that people are taking advantage of such as the mans son who takes the Bay Area Rapid Transit instead of driving his car. some might say that taking these other forms of transportation might take longer and yes they might be right but they are also much cheeper instead of having to pay a large amount of money to first, buy a car and then, buy gas. which the gas prices only seem to be going up lately. They have the ability to buy cheep tickets for the ride on the train or maybe a bus. As i spoke about earlier we will one day run out of fossil fuels. Gas is a fossil fuel and leading up to the time where we wont have gas anymore the gas will just keep getting more and more expensive because the less gas we have in our community the more that it will cost. also the more that people will want it one day most of us will not have the money to drive cars not because of the cost of the car but because of the cost of the gas.
Coming to a end, there are many other ways to travel other than buy a vehichle and some may be easier for you cheeper for you or better for the environment so why keep on hurting the environment when you could simply make the world a better place by just not driving a car. there are many reasons to limit driving but we could easily do it because people can live without cars, it would help the environment and cut back on pollution, it would also be much cheeper.

42BDAA30E0DE,"Dear TEACHER_NAME,
Getting students involved in community service is a great idea! By doing this students will have the opportunity to help people in need, help the environment and feel good about doing things for their city. I think all student should be required to do at least 10 hours of community service each year and in this letter I will convince you of that!
By students performing community service it gives them the opportunity to have fun by helping the environment. For example, if all the students from each grade got together and went somewhere in their community and planted trees, that would be a great learning experience for the students and teaching them about how global warming is effecting our planet would be a great way for the teachers to encourage the children to do more with helping the environment.
Next, by children performing more community service it gives them the chance to help others. For example, students could go on a field trip to a local nursing home or a homeless shelter and sing Christmas carols to the residents around Christmas time. I would have loved to have done something like that in school but it was never required that we do community service so it was not done. Also by doing this, the residents would enjoy it and would talk highly about the school.
Finally, by children performing more community service students might feel good about themselves for helping others and the environment. Who could not feel good about helping others and making a difference? By feeling good about themselves students' self esteem level will increase and they will always remember what they did to help someone else and help the environment.
I hope my reasons and examples have convinced you to require all students here at SCHOOL_NAME to perform community service. I think helping save the environment and helping others are so important for young students to do so that whenever they are older they will also wish to do community service.

41553A472563,"In this article of ""Making Mona Lisa Smile"" it talks about how a facial recognition software can detect your mood. It is brough up in paragraph six that this software should be introduced into classrooms. Classrooms are already getting technologically advanced and are gaining more expenses from this as well. Adding Facial Action Coding Systems to students' computers will just add unwanted price increases, pointless space takeup, and more complexity to computers in our classrooms.
Adding this Facial Action Coding System (FACS) will just add on to the expenses that schools are already putting into place just to add on to the technology that people are trying to push into schools. If a school of lower income tries pushing this system, taxes and school payments will be greatly increased on parents that might not even want this system at all. Although richer schools may be able to afford this software, it will definitely take money away from sections of the school that actually might need attention such as athletics or even music and art classes. Money saved from not buying a software that is just a want and not a need can fork money over to parts of schools that actually need the money. This software is not a necessity and if bought, can take away money from areas that need attention. Not only is the price not needed to be added to, but this software may not even help students in the classroom.
Students in schools with enough money to give students their own laptops usually have used a lot of money on these already expensive devices. Laptops in schools are most usually used to help students who are sick at home to stay connected to their teachers to get assignments. Other uses for the laptops range from eliminating paper and also researching. The FACS software just adds another layer of complexity to the laptops. In paragraph six, the author talks about how the software can see your reaction to ads on screens and adjust new ads to this facial expression. Not only can you be frowning for other reasons than your computer, but if you are doing schoolwork, why does it matter if you are mad or happy? Laptops are to get work done and get through school to help you research and understand topics more. Laptops are not for fun but are tools to help you succeed in school by helping you learn topics applied by the teachers. This software could be extremely helpful at home, but at school it just makes the laptops more complex than they need to be.
If a laptop is being used in school, it is being used as a tool to eliminate paper and help teachers connect to students on a higher level. These laptops are already complex enough to have several tabs at once, documents eliminating paper usage, and also have online textbooks. Some students who are not very educated in technology may see some information gathered and used by laptops to seem very confusing and maybe even frightening. Adding this FACS to laptops at schools will just change how students are seeing their laptops and can be switched around by students making faces at it. If a student is very sad and looks at the computer, it may make things happier and more colorful, but what happens when somebody is very happy? Will the computer turn dark and very bland to make them sad? The software will add another layer to these already complex devices that is not needed. The software may be a want in the eyes of people trying to make school more enjoyable, but this software is merely useless in connection to learning experience. Even with all of these negatives, there are some positives in that some genuinely sad individuals using this software can be cheered up and will actually begin to pay attention to their screens. This software has many negatives but at the same time might actually be used for good in schools that can afford it and still have money left over.
All in all, this software may be helpful to those outside of classrooms, but in reality it may be too expensive for some to implement into these already expensive devices. FACS at its worst will be a price increase, an unneeded software, and a system that will add complexity to these laptops. But, FACS at its best can greatly increase moods of poeple who have acquired this software in hopes of it increasing moods and helping students focus. This software should be relatively unexpensive which will give schools the ability to talk to families about implementing this software into laptops to help students learn. If a school can afford this software and it is approved by families, this definitely can help students focus unless this is too expensive for schools but is added anyways. To conclude, this software is somewhat useless in a way but it is completely up to the school corporation and the families of the school to decided if this should be implemented into our daily lives.

8E1908F2616E,"Dear Principle,
I believe that students should be performing community service because it would really help the environment. It does not matter if they are picking up the litter or tutoring others, as long as they are trying to help the environment.
My first reason why students should perform community service is because it would help the environment. Then if other people see the students doing community service they might want to help too. Now wouldn't that be terrific? Just seeing others help out makes me want to do more for the environment.
My next reason on why students should perform community service is because it can save lives. For example, the amount of garbage we throw out every day adds up very fast. Soon the whole world will be filled with garbage and we will not have any place to put it. Then people could get very sick from just breathing in the fumes. I really hope that you take this into consideration.
My third and final reason on why students should perform community service is because it gives them something to do. Kids often go home and just sit on the couch and watch television. If you consider having a student community service program I know for a fact that I wouldn't just go home and be lazy, I would get all geared up and go out to find someplace that might need a little more cleaning up to do.
Now please consider on getting a big group of students to help out the environment.

1BDDA880A886,"Have you, as a parent, teacher, guardian, etc ever noticed how distant us students are from eachother? Yes, we have close friends we see outside of school, but other than that we dont actively participate in anything other then school together. Its sad to say I personally have known my classmates for almost two years now, and I still have yet to know half of their names. This needs to be fixed as a community. If given the choice it is likely that majority of the school would not choose to do this, and it has come to a point where there shouldn't be a choice. Students should have to participate in at least one extracurricular activity because, students will learn better sportsmenship and collaboration skills, it may fix the issue of too much electronic device usage, and our school as a whole will be more familiar with eachother.
A main reason why sudents should be required to participate in at least one extracurricular activity is because, we will learn better sportsmenship and collaboration skills. From firsthand experience I have witnessed students discouraging eachother when their opposing team wins on multiple occasions. For example, in gym class we could be playing volleyball, basketball, or even kahoot in other classes, and the way students react to losing the game is horrific. They might throw a fit, use unkind words, and put down the winners in all the ways they can. Students also have a hard time collaborating with their classmates in group projects, talking with their tables about the current topic, and helping eachother out when we dont understand content in class. Having to play in sports games will teach us how to lift eachother up even when we arent ahead or ""winning"" the game. Another example is that if we were to join things like student council, clubs, etc we would learn how to talk to eachother as a group/team rather than doing everything individually.
Another way having to do an extracurricular activity could be used as an advantage is that it may fix the issue of too much electronic device usage. After a long day at school we are all so ready to change into comfy clothes, jump into bed and go on our phones or watch tv. Hours may pass by without us even noticing, and before we know it, its time to sleep. I do this, and even the thought is noticebly unhealthy. Having to do one sport or activity if its once a week, everyday, or for even just an hour would help. Keeping ourselves busy prevents us from having an excessive amount of screen time. Not only that, but being active also takes a part in maintaining a healthy body and lifestyle. Even if some clubs invlove being on a computer, its way more beneficial to our community than sitting around staring at a screen all day.
Lastly, all students, and our school as a whole will be much more familiar with eachother.
As said earlier, even though we have all walked in the halls and seen eachothers faces for more than a year, I dont know most people, and most people dont know me. Joining clubs, sports, or any activities will introduce us to new people, we could make new friends from our school and other schools, and we'd even be more familiar with more teachers/coaches. This doesn't mean we have to be friends with everyone, but even slightly knowing the people we see everyday, and who we will mostly continue to see throughout highschool would be nice. Meeting new people is always a good thing we should strive for. Knowing more people might just come in our favors in the future.
In conclusion, most children would think of this decision to be unfair since we are in school all day, and after that bell were on our own time, but none of us realize how fun it could potentially be. I think that in order for us students to be actively engaged in more things to come, we should be needed to particpate in at least one out of school activity. Again, I think this because, we could learn to have better skills like collaboration, sportsmenship, leadership, etc, we will have other things to do besides being on a device all day, and we will all be more familiar with eachother at the end of the day. I definitely think that there should be an option on what type of activity/sport we should do, but I also agree with the fact that this is needed to make our school a better place to be, at least for right now.

146ED0274FC7,"Dear State Senator,
I believe that the Electorial college should stay because without it the U.S. would get out of control with voting. We need the Electorial college for so many reasons. Some of the reasons are so that we can vote and keep all of congress and our President in order. We need this mainly for voting, sometimes I can admit that not everything this Electorial College does I agree with. But for the U.S. reasons for staying as one we need this more then ever so that we can vote and so that we can have president and all our different congress people too.
But like I said at the top that there are some cons to this agrument, if we should or shouldn't have the Electorial College. Some things that bring conflict to this whole process is that some peoples votes wont have effect in the voting for who becomes president next or not. All votes should count, because if they know that why should we even vote if some peoples don't count. It is like we want that president who ever it is at that time to win and no votes even matter. This part is disappointing in the last paragraph of the Article.
It says ""...for example, or republicans in California. Knowing their vote will not have effect..."" Going back to what I said up in my second Paragraph, everyone needs to have their vote count. Everyone deserves a chance to say who they want to runa certain part in the U.S. should and should'nt be. Hello? Remember freedom of Speech whatever happened to that.
If Congress keeps this up people can get mad and riot about that or do bad things to harm people or congress. We need everyones vote to count no mater what. We need everyone to have a choice or say in there votes because they are voting for that person because they think that they are best to run the country or a certain roll in congress. So it may seem really crazy to think we need this but we really do so that congress doesnt fall and then conflicts come. We need this to have everything in congress and the people of the U.S. to run corectly.

6F72C00FFB71,"DEAR MISS PRICIPLE,
I 100% disagree with this new policy idea of yours for many reasons.
Many students get there home work and protects done but they get like a C grade average on the assignment. It is there choice to redo it or to talk to a teacher if they want or need a good grade. But I don't think you should punish them with sports! say if one kid did an assignment with a friend and they had to go up in front of the class and do it together but your friend was acting like a total spas and dropped your grade to a C (when it was an A) they should do sports but give them time to redo it.
However if one person has a D or an F in math, science, health, or social studies then you should talk to them. See why they have that and how they can improve in that class. And if they don't have that grade up in 2 or 3 weeks talk to them again and maybe kick them out if they arnt doing anything to improve or show that they are making progress don't punish the kids who have an A or a B and even a C.
some people find it hard to fit all this room into homework studying tests and quizzes. so if they have a C that's because they might not have time to do so. some people have school, dance, friends, lessons, sports , piano and etc.
If you go up to 50 students i bet you at least 38 will say and give you an excellent argument on this discussion and say that you as a principle and others of the school faculty should NOT allow D and below grade average to participate in school sports and if they have a C give them lots of time on there hands to redo and update the grade report.

I think kids should be allowed to bring them to school and use them during lunch and passing periods because if they have a problem in or outside of school they would have a cell phone to call 911 for example if their walking home and they see a fire they would be able to call 911. And if they would have some free time to text during lunch maybe they wouldn't text during class.
Incase of an emergency student could actually save some ones life for example there's two kids in the lunch room and one of them starts to choke and the other one could call 911. And after lunch period their cell phones would be off and the teachers wouldn't have to worry about kids texting in class.

Electoral College
''.
To begin, you as the state senator have to keep the ""
Electoral College""
(""The founding fathers established it in the Constitution as a compromise between election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens."")in paragraph tree from the article ""
Does the Electoral College Work?
""by the Office of the Federal Register it says ""the Electoral college consists of five hundred thirty eight electors. A majority of two hundred seventy electoral votes is required to elect the President. Your state's entitled allotment of electors equals the number of members in its congressional delegation: one for each member in the House of Representatives plus two for your senators. . . ."" it is easier for us to select the electors and the electors pick the President. in paragraph five from the article ""
Does the Electoral College Work?
""it clearly explains that they all have their own group so therefore they know whats going on and what they all offer.""Each candidate running for President in your state has his or her own group of electors. The electors are generally chosen by the candidate's political party, but state laws vary on how the electors are selected on what their responsabilities are . . ."".
In addition,i am not saying that the
Electoral College is right in everything because
Electoral College has its difficulties too,just like choosing the popular vote for the President. for example
Electoral College . . . their difficulties are that ""Under the Electoral college system,voters vote not for the President,but for a slate of electors,who in turn elect the president. If you lived in texas,for instance, and wanted to vote for [John] Kerry, you'd vote for a slate of thirty four Democratic electors pledge to Kerry. On the off-chance that those electors won the statewide election, they would go to congress and Kerry would get thirty four electoral votes. Who are the Electors? They can be anyone not holding public ofice."" so that is pretty bad but yet choosing you own President would'nt be okey neither because it would be harder and no one can give Presidents the ideas and the presidents would have to come up with the ideas alone.

EE5022C8157C,"The principal has decided that all students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity. Do you disagree or agree with him that all students must participate. Because 1 out of 5 kids do not have extracurricular activities at there school. I agree because the kids can learn some thing new, have help on a topic, and to have fun.
My first reason is that the students can learn something new. When they stay for a new club they can make friends and learn the new skill that the club is teaching . The club is a good way to learn some new things, make some new friends, and learn how to use this skill in life. When you join a club you will learn to love it. For instance not a lot of people came to Girls Who Code until we started to tell everybody how nice and fun it was. Now people are racing for spots in Girls who code. People who come to Girls Who Code will learn about programs and how your favorite game was made.
My next reason is that the students can get extra help in the many of clubs. Some of the clubs such as homework club can help you study. The school provides many clubs to help you with all of your topics. When you come to certain clubs there will be tutors there to help. The tutors are your fellow students that show up to help there class mates. When you stay after to get help your grades will go up by a lot. When they do you will be proud of them that you came too homework club.
My final reason is that the students need to have fun in the clubs. when the parents leave ore work the student is home alone. when the stay after they can hang out with there friends. The different clubs have different activities for the students to learn and have fun. Some kids just want to hang out with other kids. Students have to have some time relax and have fun in the clubs.
In conclusion all students must participate in a extracurricular activity so they can enjoy the clubs that the school has to offer. When they participate in the clubs they will be more ready to learn about that subject.

A4436AA84662,"There are several advantages in limiting car usage. It helps the environment, lowers the chance of crashing, removes stress, and also congestion.
A reason why limiting car usage is beneficial is that it helps the environment. In source 2, France reached several days of ""near-record pollution"". This is mainly because of the substantial numbers of cars in France. Since France is dependent more on Diesel rather than gasoline, it emits more pollution causing smog to be more evident. In paragraph 14, it states, ""...[The smog] rivaled Beijing, China, which is known as one of the most polluted cities in the world."". China has far more than triple the population of France. Yet, France is able to reach the same level of smog as China. If an abundant amount of people continue to drive cars as the way they do, every country is going to have the smog problem Beijing and France are having. Also possessing so much smog is a safety hazard being that it limits your ability to see from a distance.
In addition, limiting car usage can reduce stress. In source 1, Heidrun Walter, a media trainer and mother of two, said "" When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way."". In source 3, Carlos Artuto Plaza quotes "" its a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution"". It is not only one person who can vouch on the reduction of stress by limiting car usage. A woman in Germany and a man in Colombia can both agree on the idea that limting car usage reduces stress. When you dont drive a car as much you have less things to worry about. Like, Fearing the possibilty of crashing, running out of gas, dealing with traffic, and several more problems. If someone drives less you would have less stress (in theory). The idea of stress reduction is an amazing advantage someone recieves if they limit their car usage.
Reducing car usage can also lower congestion. In source 2, ""Congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of france, after 5 days of intensyfying smog..."". The implication of limited car usage brought the congestion down 60 percent. That is a major advantage since there is a decrease in the number of cars on the streets. This reduces traffic and allows people to reach their destination sooner than they would if it was more congested. The drop in congestion means that there are less cars on the streets so there would be a lesser chance of crashing. This is a factor that can reduce stress. The reduction of congestion is a positive product of the limitation of car use.
In closing, the limitation of car usage gives the advantage of aiding the environment, reducing the likelihood of crashing, stress, and congestion.

A way that driverless cars can be a negative thing is because people are not in full control of the car. What would happen if the car all of a sudden starts doing something wrong and the driver can not do anything about it? In paragragh number 7 is says that the car can do a lot of things on its own. ""They can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves, but all are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills, such as navagating through work zones and around accidence.""
Also if people were interested in buying the diverless car would an average person be able to affort it? In paragragh number 4 it clearly says that the car needs many tools and special equitment to be able to be a driverless car. ""Google's modified Toyota Prius uses position-estimating sensors on the left rear wheel, a rotating sensor on the roof, a video camera mounted near the rearview mirror, four automotive radar sensors, a GPS receiver, and an intertial motion sensor.""
Not only would the car itself cost alot, it would also take millions to be able to fix all the roads in order for the car to be able to drive on the roads. In paragragh number 3 it states that the car requies magnets in the road to be able to read the messages in binary code, but would be too expensive. ""These smart-road systems worked surprisingly well, but they require massive upgrades to existing roads, something that was simply too expensive to be practical.""
Finally one of my biggest concerns is that if the driverless car does not need the driver at all times would it make it easier for younger kids to get in the car, start it, and take off? In paragragh number 7 it says that all it takes is the drivers hands to be on the wheel for the car to go. ""The car can handle driving functions at speeds up to 25 mph, but special touch sensors make sure the driver keeps hold of the wheel."" Since the driverless car can do alot on its own the car could make it easy for a young child to get in it and leave while not being watched properly.
In conclusion, I belive that people should keep driverless cars off the road for many reasons. For example, people are not having full control of the car. The car may not be afordable to the average person. It would take millions for the road to be fixed and be able to have driverless cars to work on the roads.

Drivelss cars aren't really driveless. At certain points they will need the drivers assistance. This can lead to many accidents. In paragraph 9, the text states ""most driving laws focus on keeping dirvers, passengers, and pedestrians safe, and lawmakers know that safety is best achieved with alert drivers."" The sentence proves that driveless cars may not be completely safe. The driver could depend on the car to drive itself and not be paying attention which can result in accidents. In paragraph 9, it also states that it is illegal to even test computer-driven cars. Something would not be illegal if it's comepletely safe.
Another reason driveless cars should not be developed is becasue they can cause the drive not to pay attention. Driveless cars would be like phones. They made driving and texting illegal because it made the drivers not pay attention and caused many death and accidents. The same result can come form drivelss cars. They can be a great distraction becasue the driver would think that the car can drive itlsef and they would not pay attention. From that conclusion, in paragraph 9, the question ""If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault- the driver or the manufacturer"" would come up. Who would be responsible? If the driver belived the car can drive itself and the techonology failed, it can lead to death because the driver might not be paying attention. The driver would think the car doesn't need a driver and when the techonology fails and the car spins out of control, many lives could be lost.
Driveless cars would also cost more money in many things. The cost to buy would most likely be more expensive. If drivelessc cars started being in use, there would need to be new signs that fit those specific cars. Driveless cars would aslo need specific shops and equipment. If something goes wrong you would need to get it fixed and the technology used makes it more expensive. Fixing a car is already expensive. You have to buy whatever it is you need to fix and then take it to a shop. If something in the techonology of a driveless car goes wrong and you need to get it fixed, it will denifitely cost more.

Dear Principals,
You know how these texting in class and calling and being not responsible... Well I think that policy 2 is the best policy. This reason is because students can be more focused on their work more than phones , students want be distracting other kids , and most importantly is that they need to have a good GED when they get in high school. I think we should have a election. I know back in a few grades I used to text and everything but I have learned my lesson. I have had bad grades and you don't want that. But the main thing im trying to get to here is that, texting should not be allowed in class like what policy two said. I think that is jus plain dumb. Im just trying to persuade you to not let texting go on during class. Also im conserned about my other class mates.
Well I hope if anyone else writes you . That they feel the same way I do . Well got to get back to my school work. That is what's best for me!

6AC162B7BF45,"Dear Principal,
I understand that you are debating two different possible cell phone policies for the school, I believe that you should chose the first of the two policies. For me being a student of the school it is quite obvious that kids need their cell phones for contacting parents, being able to use their own property, and contacting people at different events after school. Kids and teens need their cell phones for thing after school, like going to friends houses and school basketball games, if you used policy two instead of one the kids couldn't contact their parents and ask to stay after school or go to that friends house and that would cause havoc with dismissal.
A second reason for cell phones not to be banned is because the phones are kids property, if you take that way from them they will feel they have no rights as students and will tend not to like you and respect your other rules. Also if you say kids cant have their phones in a middle school or high school, chances are that more kids will use cell phones at school because kids at this age like to rebel.
I also think that if a parent buys a student a cell phone and pays a monthly fee for it, that student should be allowed to use it when he or she needs to use it weather it is at a friends house, on the bus, or in the cafeteria. If a kid needs to find a friend at a after school basketball game or football game, if they are not allowed to have a phone finding that friend will be very difficult. Also think about this, a kid is going to a science team meeting after school, the previous day the teacher said to bring a certain item to the meeting. The child going doesn't remember what that item is so he or she pulls out their cell phone and texts a person who is also on the team and they come to the meet prepared, if policy two was in affect the child would have to go to the meet unprepared and make his or her team suffer at the meet. Policy one could also improve the academics in you school, because kids would be happier so they would do better and kids could text each other to find out the homework and then they would get better grades and you would look like a better principal to the students and other officials because your school would be getting higher grades then before. I really hope you take my concerns and ideas into consideration.

9B9931DF9439,"Schools offer a large variety of ways for their students to attend daily classes. Many schools offer online classes and video conferencing, which have become a wide spread in today's society. Online classes have shown to help students to obtain their education off campus and has shown to be a very recommended option throughout schools. Online classes help students who are sick, help students without transportation to school, and can be taken when schools are closed.
When schools are closed down due to unexpected weather or holidays, online classes can be taken during the time. Students will be able to complete their work and move on to the lesson, no matter how many days school is closed. When its election day is held, some schools must close for students so that the building may be used for voting. Sudden natural disasters can shutdown schools for a large amount of days or perhaps cause destruction to the school which will result into months of absents. Online classes help students gain the information they miss out on and can move through the school year much faster.
Sickness can make a negative impact on schools and effect students ability to attend their classes. Sick students will be able to complete their work at home so the won't have to face the problem of unfinished school work the next day. If a sick student shows up to school, many of the other students health and wellness can be put in grave danger. With sick students at home finishing their classwork, schools can have a safe, clean, and germ free environment for all other students.
Lastly, many students find it difficult to arrive to school without a way of transportation. Some students live out of a school's designated bus area, which makes it challenging for those particular students to come to classes. With online classes, there is no need for transportation when the student can complete their work right on the foot of their bed.

People think the face is ""bona fide"" evidence of life on Mars. Those people say that NASA would rather hide evidence of life on Mars, say conspiracy theorists. Few scientist believed the Face was an alien artifact, photographong Cydonia became a priority for NASA eighteen years after the mission ened.
Jim Garvin said that they felt that it was important to the taxpayers, so they photographed the Face as soon as they could get a shot of it. In 1998 Mars Global Sureyor flew over Cydonia for the first time and snapped a picture ten times sharper that the original.

The face was found in the region of the red planet called Cydonia. It is very hard for NASA to get the picture because they have to angle the satalite just right. I am not trying to be pestimistic but, NASA has seen landforms on Mars before and the article says,""the mouth, nose, and eyes are allusions caused by shadows"". The facts just dose not add up to their being life on Mars.
This face is just a landform. There are many ways this landform could have happend. For example, a duststorm, astroids crashing on the planet, or underground volcanos. These are all examples of how the face could have been created. The article says it was caused by butte or mesa. Time for everyone to come up with a new theory!
This face was found in the area Cydonia. One day the aircraft Viking 1 was circaling the plant and found the face. Could you imagine the scientist face when the aircraft reported it back. A few days later they released it to the public. Lots of people were confinced that it was caused by some kind of lifeform, but really it was not.
It was hard work for NASA to get the picture because they had to rotate the aircraft at 30 degrees. This was not easy because if they went to far Nasa would miss the face. If they did not go all the way around Nasa would still miss it . It had to be perfect. It could have been 29 degrees, one of, but it did not matter it would still miss it. It had to be perfect. NASA finnaly got the picture and proved that there was no lifeform.
The nose, mouth, and eyes are caused by shadow illusions. They might have been formed by astroids crashing there, but are most likely shadow illusions. These illusions are caused when the Mars acsis are tillted a certain way and the sun hits it. This is most likly how the shadow allusion happened. This is what scientist says caused the illusion.
In conclusion there were many ways for this landform to happen. Do not think this was caused by some kind of life form because there is not enough proff.

F3E8A109AE05,"I believe that the use of techonology to read student emotional expression is valuable. It be awesome to read somebody's emotions thorugh a machine. it would tell you alot about what a person is feeling and thats important to know. their are many excellent and well reasoned examples of why this technology is valuable.
My one reason i believe this is valuable technology is if somebody was feeling depressed and was not willing to open up to anybody that individual could do self harm to himself. If they know how that individual was feeling maybe they would have helped he/she. in the passage it says "" a classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused and bored"". Then Dr. Huang says"" then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor. This technology could become really usful for many different situations. Thats one of the reasons of why this makes this machine so valuable.
The creator of FACS[ [Facial Action Coding System] Dr. Paul Eckman has ""classified six basic emotions"". The machine can read happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness. this type of technology can aid and solve world wide problem. For example what if an individual person or more were having issues with a certain subject at school but dont know how to ask for help. The Computer would make "" 3-D computer model of the face"" and they can anaylze what they might be feeling about the subject. then thats when the help comes.
Another example is reading different emotions is some how very important. It can be used against people who have commited crime. An example is if a person who murdered somebody and nobody knew if he was being honest or not, the machine can read his emotions and has a better chance to tell if the person is lying or not. It can be used for celebritys and politician as said in the article. This can identify many human being feelings and it doesnt take to much time.
In conclusion their are still many reasons why i believe this technology is valuable. This type of technology would be nice to have around and would be really usful.

70FA14CF404C,"Dear principle:
I personally think that students are to be required to do community service. It helps the community and everyone in it. It helps them care for others and their feelings. They should also do community service to let them know that helping others is better than helping themselves. Also, one last fact is that colleges look for children that have done a lot of community service.
They will help the community and the people in it by them giving food or shelter to the hungry or the homeless. They learn also that they are not the only ones and be nice and generous to others. They will learn that the needy really need help, especially during winter and tough times like now. This is one reason they need to do community service.
Another reason to require community service is that they will learn to care for others and their feelings. When they know that they are not the only ones and that they are more fortunate than a lot of others than they will learn this. The children usually get selfish if they don't know how many people are less fortunate than they are. This the second reason for them to do community service.
Another reason for doing community service is that they will learn to help others more than helping themselves. They get selfish if they think that nobody needs that thing they want, so they will take more and if there is someone needy, they lost that thing they wanted. In addition to becoming selfish, they will lose the ability to respect people that went through things that the children probably couldn't like the concentration camps, and live to tell what happened. This was yet another reason for children to do community service.
My last reason to do community service is that colleges look for the children that have completed a lot of community service hours. A lot more colleges are giving scholarships and even just recognizing people that have done community service, voluntarily. That is my last reason for children to do community service.
Children will regret it when they grow up if they did not partake in community service. They will lose the ability to respect others as much, they will not care for others and they will not help the community.

The reader needs a thesis, without one the reader is not going to be able to have their opinion on a topic swayed. The author's current attempt at a thesis statement , ""While Venus is simple to see from the distant but safe vantage point of Earth, it has proved very challenging place to examine more closely,"" does not state what side they are on clearly. Their best declaration of the side they are on is in their very last paragraph. The author wrote, ""Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation."" This is a very strongly worded thesis, but would have been much better if placed in the starting paragraph. Their side on the topic was acknowledged, but not as well as it could have been if they had set up their thesis correctly.
Beyond the thesis, the author used many counter-arguements in their writing. This is one of their strong suits, acknowledging both sides of an arguement is one of the best ways to convey your opinion affectively, while still being able to keep opposing side of the arguement interested and have their minds open to change. The author is for the exploration of Venus, but consistently chooses to bring up the problems that doing so faces. The author writes about the difficulties about exploring Venus, because of the planet's extreme environment. They opposed their own side in paragraph three by saying, ""These conditions are far more extreme than anything humans encounter on Earth; such an environment would crush even a submarine accustomed to diving to the deepest parts of our oceans and would liquefy many metals."" This is an affective strategy, because people who may oppose exploration to Venus may say something similar to this. The author is arguing their own point to establish reliability and trust amongst with people who favor not exploring Venus. The author showing that they see the problems with exploring Venus shows that they are open minded and open to their mind being changed, and this will in turn have the reader do the same.
Furthermore, the author was able to affectively state rebutals and reinforce their own opinion with facts. From the example stated earlier, regaurding the extreme conditions in Venus, the author was able to provide a logical solution to the weather without using any opinions. The author wrote,""NASA's possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus would allow sceintists to float above the fray."" The author then goes onto describe NASA's plan in full depth, and going into fine detail about the floating contraption that would suspend the astronauts safely above the harsh atmosphere of Venus. They then state, ""Not easy conditions, but survivable for humans."" The author is displaying a solution for the conditions, and even the minor flaws it has. The author going into detail about the solution for the extreme conditions in Venus and even conceding a bit when saying, ""Not easy conditions but survivable for humans,"" helps argue their point. They affectively refuted the counter-arguements by using factual evidence in their rebutal, and deemed themselves trustworthy by the opposing side by even conceding slightly on a few issues.
The author of ""The Callenge of Exploring Venus"" did a fair job when arguing that Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. While the author did accurately present the dangers and solutions for the dangerous parts of exploring Venus, they failed to create a strong thesis. The author exceeded when giving factual information about the topic to help the reading get on their side of the arguement; do to them struggling to get across their position on if Venus exploration is worthwhile, some of the provided information they gave was not used to it's full potential when changing the reader's opinion.",,774,Exploring Venus,Text dependent,"In ""The Challenge of Exploring Venus,"" the author suggests studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents.

F905CE2A775A,"Dear Principal,
I think cell phones are an issue in school because sometimes there doesn't seem to be all that much learning going on. I believe that our school should use Policy 2: Do not allow students to have phones at school at all. Students come to school to learn, not fiddle around with their phones.
Cell phones are just too distracting. While they are useful at times, like calling a parent after school or for emergencies, students shouldn't be messing around with them all the time. If kids were allowed to have phones they would be texting a friend in study hall, instead of using that time to be doing homework or studying. Plus not all students would follow that rule- some would be texting in class to their buddy who is in lunch or something. Imagine all the trouble it would cause. How are we to learn anything with the distraction of cell phones?
So even though cell phones prove useful at times, they can also be a problem and ruin our learning environment. So, which shall it be? Cell phones? No cell phones? I think learning would greatly improve if we got rid of cell phones in school once and for all.

I read your policy's on the internet so i am going to respond in my best opinion. I think if you don't let students have phones in school, then their be no point of having rules. yes i know that students text during classes but their are kids what can you do. But if you let them have phones and use them during free time. Then the kids will call and text each other on the whole school. Then that will be bad, and they will still don't have any education and will not pass their classes. So my guess is to not have cell phones at all or their will fail at school and in life.
but if you let them have phones the you will be the most popular and cool principle of all time. But if you don't then they will hate you for ever and do bad stuff to you. So what do you chouse popularity or the education for the kids. But my decision is no cell phones

If you'd like to make more frineds, there's all sorts of ways to meet new people. In this program you're able to do just about every one of them. The first new people you're going to meet are your fellow crew members on the ship. Then when you get to the destination you meet even more people, whether it's strangers on the sidewalk, or even an army crew waiting for their animals.
Traveling? Definetely! I've traveled to so many places. Some of my favorites are Greece, China, and Italy. My favorite part about Greece was the Acropolis. On my way to China, I saw the Panama Canal.

4907E85DC78A,"Asking more than one person for advise can be goo because, everyone has different thoughts and experiences so different answers from different people will help with whatever you need advice about.
Even if the person dose not completely agree with you.
Firstly, When making a choice you have to pick between two different things.
Most of the time its a rather hard decision. picking one thing is never easy so as a human you ask someone else for there opinion or advice.
They may have a different opinion or maybe even the same but you may not completely trust just one opinion so you ask another person what they think.
After, asking another person for their advice which may help you to come to a conclusion an make a decision based off of what you were told and what you think is best.
Asking for advise could be for better of for worse, maybe even something as simple as what shirt matches your pants the best. Weither the problem is big or small you can always ask for advise.
Second, Look at it like this, lets say you ask your mom for advise about a boy an then you ask your best friend.
Obviously their both going to think different things you mom isnt going to want to see you get your heart broken and your best friend is going to want whats best for you. They both might think the same thing which would help you realize that maybe that boy isnt to good for you.
If their opinions are different then you might want to ask third person to break the tie or just take the first advise you get and move on.
Lastly, Some people may prefer their own opinion or advise in some situations.
Not all decisions can be made alone someone needs help at some point. They may think they make better choices when they make them alone also not all problems need help and can be solved alone. Then again, some people do work better when they are alone. Asking multiple opinions can be helpful or just plain out pointless. If the person you ask for advise thinks the same thing as you then it was point less to even bring them into something that couldôve been solved your self.
Asking another person may just bring up your confidence because they have the same opinion as you do, if they disagree it could make you think, èam I making the right decisionè.
In conclusion, Making a decision can be hard and confusing an you may not always need advise. Asking another person for advice that you just cant make a decision on can benefit yo or be pointless and help at the same time.

If I was a alien I would not want to be found because who knows what they would do to me I would be so so frighten its not even funny. The other reason why I dont think it has anything to do with an alien is because where is that face from? Is it from an alien or human? How to we know if its even a face it can simply just be a rock that looks like face we do not know sure. For all we know this picture can actually be fake.

4D8AD3F0A341,"The Electoral College gives certain states, based on their popularity, a number of how many of what I guess can be called ""points"" that will go to to the candidate that gets the most votes for themself out of that state. Now whether that is a good idea or not is completely based on your own opion which you can decide. But I disagree with the Electoral College, even though it did take me a while of thinking I came to the conclusion that an all out popular vote is more effecient when it comes to voting for a president than the electoral college, and there is three main reasons that swung me to side with popular vote,
First of all, when you get right down to it the Electoral College just doesnt give perfect accuracy on who does actually get the exact most votes. Some people cant completely grasp this fact but imagine that there is Florida, Alaska, and Montana. The first candidate, which we shall call John and the second, Bill, are going for these three states. John beats Bill on Florida 5,000 to 4,999 and John gets all 29 electoral votes because of that, tough luck for Bill. Luckily for Bill he sweeps over John in Alaska 100 to 0 and Monatana 100 - 0 and gets 3 points from each state which gives him 6 points total. So now by popular vote Bill would win with 5,199 votes against John's 5,000. But since Bill only has 6 Electoral points because he still lost Florida, which was the state John won and got a whopping 29 points from, Bill will lose his campaign to John 29-6 because thats what the amazing ""wonders"" of the Electoral College are. Which beasically sums up how in 2000 Al Gore lost to Bill Gates even that Al Gore had more overall votes.
The Electoral College also makes candidates have to strategically plan out their campaign so they can focus on big states and swing states only. If a candidate knows he will not win a certain state he wont even focus on it because it would be pointless, even if he changes maybe a couple thousand voters' minds, it wont get him a single point if he loses that state 5000 - 15000 whereas with popular vote changing the mind of people so that you get yourself from having 10% of California's overall votes for you to 30% means more votes than literally all of Alaska's eligible voting population. So that drives candidates away from states they wont win and they go to states known as ""swing states"" that dont have a specific party that they vote for every election, and they will attempt to win these states votes the most because those points will make the biggest difference.
The final thing I'd like to touch on is that the Electoral College system takes so many peoples idea and erases it. We want our vote to mean something throughout the whole campaign, but it doesnt matter if you are one the few democrat supporters in an overall republican dominated state because when your state loses 5000 to 150, poof! There goes your vote floating off into oblivion because it doesnt matter now, your one vote doesnt stand a chance against 50 going against it according to the Electoral College. We want our vote to count for the candidate himself not be part of some majorly flawed point system that someone thought would help somehow when picking the right candidate to become the head honcho sitting in charge of The White House, Our Country, and be the overall leader of our military forces too. So we need our vote to be heard and for it to actually count, even if 5000 more people disagree with 2500 in the same state, those 2500 votes should actually count towards something instead of being overrun and erased by the 5000 which will earn some candidate a couple of points for their campaign.
Now after all this not only has my own opinion strongly changed in favor of popular vote but I hope yours has too. Electoral College just doesnt provide that actual perfect accuracy of who wins that popular does, it forces presidents to only visit and campaign in certain states that they have a chance of winning, and it takes citizens votes and throws them down the drain if more people in the same state vote differently. It just makes you sit and wonder whos idea it was to accept this system.

E7BC2C9DDC6E,"On May 21, 2016, Christina Mays had been told by her doctor, that she would be expecting her first child. Excited and anxious she decided to text her husband the good news. David Mays was delighted about the news and responded with a sweet message. It is not clear whether Christina saw that sweet message before her car slammed into the back of a truck while merging onto the highway. From the lack of response, David became worried. He attempted to call Christina and left several messages requesting to hear her beautiful voice. But to no avail he could not reach her. David knew something horrible had happened. Christina, a beautiful twenty-year-old was dead. Police ultimately deemed texting the cause of her fatal car crash.
Although the police found evidence that texting and driving caused her untimely death; the likelihood of a car crash increases drastically with the occurrence of distracted driving.
Distracted driving occurs anytime a driver takes their eyes off the road, hands off the wheel or sometimes just simply being a teen carrying too many passengers.
Distracted driving is a huge problem, although it is not due to cell phones alone, they are a huge contributor. Taking your eyes off the road, even for a second, can be risky. Because operating a cellphone takes the drivers attention off the road, long enough for them to veer into other lanes of on-coming traffic. Because of this, it only takes a split second for this type of distracted driving to become a fatality. For this reason, it is necessary for drivers to focus on driving only and leave their cellphones in their pockets.
Secondly, text messaging requires you to visually and manually use sometimes both of your hands; it is by far the most frightening distraction used by not just teens, but adults as well. Most vehicles are considered a weapon. Consequently, they can cause extreme damages during a crash. This is why it is never safe to take your hands off the wheel, even to answer a call. As a result of this, some states have chosen to pass laws prohibiting motorist form using their cellular devices while operating a motor vehicle.
Lastly, most of us realize that social media rules the land. In this day in age, if it's not recorded it didn't happen. Seeing that teen drivers lack experience while driving. Consequently, means that they require more focus than experienced drivers. Therefore, carrying too many passengers while trying to operate a cellphone is hazardous to all parties involved, including innocent bystanders. Studies have shown that too many passengers can be a huge distraction, especially while using a cell phone.
In conclusion, texting and any type of distracted driving seems to be a social issue and will possibly take individuals awhile to change or completely stop. Hopefully people will understand sooner than later, that multitasking while driving is dangerous for all.

AA079BC1923D,"Schools preach to always have the students best interest at heart, which they demonstrate on a daily. A way for schools to best show they care for their students personal lives is by providing the option of distance learning for those unable to attend school. Distance learning, the chance to take their studies wherever they go to ensure they are always learning and receiving their proper education, would improve the lives of many. A program like this would be the beneficial for the students who have struggled with having to place school on pause to deal with a life crisis. All universities and schools should work to implement this option for their students. Although some may believe otherwise, distance learning should be offered because it accommodates all of students varying situations and is available in easy access to all.
The first reason that distance learning should be offered is that it accommodates all of the students varying situations. Famous social media influencer Annie Leblanc opted to take distance learning after leaving her home state, Maryland, in order to travel to Los Angeles,California in order to work on her acting career. Annie, known for her family YouTube channel Bratayley, chose to embark on the journey of acting, and although she was successful booking a main lead role in the Brat series Chicken Girls, she was determined to also complete her high school education. The compromise that she was offered was online schooling or distance learning where she was able to complete her courses from across the country at any time of day, especially while on break on set. Another person who opted for distance learning when they were unable to attend school, is my twenty-two year old cousin Generic_Name who, through using Generic_School's online graduate program, earned her masters in Psychology. My cousin has always been a studious person who worked hard in school to always improve her education, and after graduating in the winter of 2018, decided she wanted to continue her studies by earning her masters degree. However, at the time she was a a full-time employee at the company Constellis where she worked a nine-to-five. She knew that actually attending classes on campus would be difficult to incorporate into her schedule, so when introduced to the option of online schooling, she was beyond delighted to be given the opportunity to complete her education in the way that best accommodated her situation. Giving students the opportunity to chose distance learning at times where life throws them a curve ball is beneficial for it helps the student to benefit from their time.
Distance learning being at easy access to all students is the next reason for why it should be offered. One of the requirements of graduation that a student must meet at Generic_School is completing a personal finance course at some point in their high school career. In order to meet my requirement I chose to complete the course online during the summer while I visited my grandmother in Generic_City. Being able to take the course online was ideal for me because I was able to work on it at anytime I desired, for I always had an accessible device on hand that I would take out whenever I had time to spare on the course. Distance learning was not only beneficial to me on those hot summer days, but also in the case of a harsh winter storm that led to an extended period of closed school. Since the Generic_School, the school I attended while living in Generic_City, chose to change their curriculum to it being offered via an electronic device, my homeroom teacher, Generic_Name, was able to continue our lessons easily during the three week long break due to the harsh snowstorm. Each student was able to access the the proper programs at home where they completed the assignments from the comfort of their beds. When it was time to return to school, the distance learning helped keep us on schedule, and we ready to continue from where the online classes left off. Distance learning is equally beneficial for the teachers as it is for the students because it can be offered in response to a situation occurring that is unplanned for.
Arguers of this debate would say that distance learning should not be offered to students because it would be easy for a student to become unmotivated if not put in a classroom where ones teacher is continuously monitoring their work. While this is understandable because the students would be in the comforts of their home rather than in a school building, and would be required to complete assignments that they otherwise would not if not forced to, this argument is false. Students would still chose to complete their assignments and meet the deadlines, for the work that they are completing would still be a grade. Personally, when I was required to complete my online personal finance course, I remained motivated and dedicated to earning high marks. What I understood from my situation was that this online course would be a test of my success, and I took it just as seriously as I would if I was completing the course at my base school. Students would be just as motivated, if not more, to complete their distance learning, for they would be given the chance to complete the course on their own time in a comfortable environment to them.
Distance learning should be a choice to all students for it accommodates their varying situations and is always at easy access to them. Society has evolved immensely throughout the last couple of years to were if a student was required to complete distance learning, because they are unable to attend a normal school, they would be surrounded by all the necessary resources for that to be possible. Students should not loose their right of education because life left them unable to be in attendance at school. Distance leaning would benefit these students greatly, so why would one not offer an alternative solution and help improve their lives if it is possible?",,1006,Distance learning,Independent,Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing.

The Face on Mars is actually not a face but a natural landform for the following reasons, the facial features are just shadows, there isn't any real proof that aliens created it, and scientists have research that is proof of it not being alien-made.
The first reason is the facial features are just shadows. It would be nice if it was actually nad by an alien. Sadly, it isn't true. It is proven that it is actually just a huge rock formation. (Paragraph 3) ""The authors reasoned it would be good way to engage the public and attract attention to Mars. (Paragraph 3)
Secondly, there isn't actual proof that aliens created it anyways. There isn't any proof that aliens are even completely real. It is said in the article ""Perhaps, said skeptics, alien markings were hidden by haze."" (Paragraph 8). So, they do not have any actual real proof.
My last reason is that scientists have done research to prove that aliens did not really creat this face in Mars. Scientists had seen this photeo in the winter of April '98. Someone would have to peer through the camera through wispy clouds. (paragraph 8).
The reasoning for believing aliens did it is that people want to believe. They want to believe that another race of people can exsist. Maybe the aliens are jsut sending a message that they are real. Wem will never really know for sure sadly.

D826F951D496,"The desire for mobility has always been a driving force behind human innovation. Though they are a far cry from the boats and wagons of early human history, driverless cars provide a natural progression of the techology humans use to assist in movement. Not only does the creation of driverless cars foster the innovative human spirit, but when in use, driverless cars also increase the ease of driving on the person behind the wheel, as well as helping improve safety on the roads, causing driverless cars to be a positive development in the eternal human quest for freedom of movement.
Driving can be a task that is in turns difficult, as the driver attempts to maneuver through complex traffic patterns or around work zones, and dull, as the driver zooms through long stretches of open highway. Driverless cars aim to assist with both. Although the general manifacutring consensus is that driverless cars are by no means driverless - in most cases they must still have a human driver - the technology in the cars can assist the driver and make driving an easier task (Driverless, 7). In most cases, driverless cars are able to automatically ""steer, accelerate, and brake themselves"", taking the mundane out of driving (7). However, the driver is still necessary during times where the car is unable to fully process the situation, such as in work zones, and around accidents, still giving the driver a role in the operation of the car (7). Although these situations can be more strenuous, driverless cars, like most newer cars, have other ablilities such as anti-lock brakes and other sensors, which help detect problems with the way the driver is moving the car, and help prevent driver-related catastrophies (5). These improvements not only make driving safer, they put less stress on the driver, as the driver need not worry about making small mistakes and causing major problems when they know the car is watching out for them, leading to a more relaxed driver.
Driveless cars, in improving the traditional driving experience, also improve the safety of driving. Driverless cars have sensors which allow them to monitor when the car and driver may be in danger, and react to situations like ""out of control skids or rollovers"" (5). These precuations which the car takes allows for a ""far better response and control than a human driver could manage alone"", causing less accidents in autonomous vehicles versus driver reliant vehicles. Furthermore, driverless cars remove driver impulsivity from the equation. With driverless cars, things such as road rage and traffic voilations would be a thing of the past, preventing many accidents and making for safer roads.
Driverless cars are an imperative in modern society, as they improve the driving experience, as well as improving safety on the roadways. Human society is reliant on constant motion, communication, and contact, and driverless cars help foster these relationships between people, not only by allowing people to move from place to place more quickly, but also by improving psychological health, with decreased stress from driving, and by preventing injuries and deaths due to road accidents.

When Luke went he would be helping horses, young cows, and mules being shipped over seas to a new locatation he had to help gather suplies, animals and many other things supplies to help out things that had gone wrong also 44 nations joined together to help them out.

2F60025ED6D0,"Dear Principal,
I don't think we should force kids to do community work because some kids need a lot of time in order to do homework, kids have after school activities, and people have to go to religious events. Some people have their kids go places with the parents for a lesson or a surprise.
Firstly, most kids need the time to do homework for the reason that's just how they work. On certain days kids might have a lot of homework and not enough time to get it done, and adding a community service to the equation would make matters worst. If they cant get the homework in their ordinary time schedule, then how would kids get the required community service done and then the homework. I know I need most of the time to do homework, so if I were to get a community service, I might not have enough time to do my homework. Many parents don't have time to do choir after coming home from work. So if parents don't have enough time to do choirs and work, that means most kids really don't have enough time for community service and then homework. I wouldn't want to mess up the balance between time and school.
Secondly, many kids have a after school activity like basketball, running club, track, football and many other things. If kids can barely manage after school activities and homework, kids couldn't be able to fit community service into the schedule. Kids can be stressed from doing to much of those things and not have enough time. I know when i had football games and practice, I had to manage my time by doing all of my homework as soon as i got home. I know most kids can't fit three things in one day. It might be difficult to manage three time into an 7-8 hour time period when one thing might take 3 hours and then another thing takes 4 hours giving kids only 1 more hour.
Lastly, Some people might have an religious study to go to after school. My church has Weekday night bible study. I have barely any time to do my homework before i have to go to bible study. Most kids might have trouble with having too many things to do in one day. I know I had trouble making it on time on bible study nights. I had to stop going to bible study in order to fit football and homework in that day.

ED3DFE4AB197,"Dear Principal,
I think students should have to do community service if they act up in school or if they not do there homework. They should only have to do community service if they don't do there homework all the time. If they forget once they should be able to slide and get away with anything. Some kids fight in school, there the ones who should have to do a couple of hours of community service a day. I say that's the only they will learn. Also, they should have a volunteer stand thing set up, if they want to do it they can, but if not they don't have to if there one of the good kids out there. That would also take time out of school, so that would not be a good thing. The other kids would be in school why there out doing community service, or unless they have community service on the weekend. Then you could not be sure that everybody would show up. Everybody has to have there schooling you can't get anywhere with out all your schooling now a days. The state also makes you go to school a certain amount of days a year. I think community would be a good thing tough because people just toss there trash right out there car window. Also, the student could plants flowers and make everything look pretty.
Maybe community service would help kids grades also because there mind would be on objects relating to school. I say it would also keep kids safer. I say it would keep kids safer because they would nit be out parting with there friends, or gone out and trying drugs or little things like that. Community service would be a great thing if you asked me. Everybody else has different opinions than other people. I don't think the students that would have to do the community service would be to happy but it would be there fault for not doing the homework when it was due, or acting up. I think they should have a week to get there work in before they get put on the community service list. If they guess on there homework i say they should get there amount of community service doubled. Also, they should have a rule if they don't do there homework so many times, like if they have to do community service every week they should make them come and do it every weekend also. I say that because if they don't like doing there homework they mess up there plans by having community service then it wont hurt to mess up there weekend. There parents would not be to happy with them and the school for making them do that on the weekend but like I said it was all there fault, every bit of it. Also, they should have to go around to each house and ask the people that own the house if they need anything done. That's not meaning go out and talk to strangers. That would just be your punishment. I think community service would be a lot better than gone out and getting a fine, for something crazy. Everybody thinks differently than other people.

764BF089CE9C,"Summer assignment is a term most students would be appalled to hear about. For some, however, the concept of summer projects helps to ensure that students are continuing to learn and develop their education over the break. Due to the conditions summer work is assigned under, it poses the question of who should be designing the assignments, teachers or students? While teachers may have a broader understanding of the subject matter that their students will need to know and work on over summer, it is the students who should be assigning summer projects as they better understand which subjects they struggle in, know their own work schedule, and are able to make projects which appeal to their own interests.
First and foremost, students have a much better understanding of topics which they struggle on than their teachers do. Since teachers do not always understand the problems a student might be facing in class, it may lead the teacher to assign work which ends up becoming meaningless to the student and a waste of time for both student and teacher. Work assigned by students, on the other hand, may be much more personalized towards problems which students face inside their classes. This personalization of summer work for students ensures that while they learn new topics, they are still able to reinforce and improve in topics which might have caused many issues in the past.
The work schedule of a student is incredibly difficult to track. As such, if teachers were giving summer assignments, they might not be able to account for the massive diversity in the work schedules of students. Student designed summer projects would be much more effective as a learning tool, as students would have better judgment of how quickly any given student could complete their work, thus enabling students over the summer to learn at their own pace. By enabling students to learn at their own pace, they would not feel as rushed as they normally would when completing work for school, which in turn would result in students completing much higher quality work and getting more out of the learning experience.
Since all students are different, most students will not have the exact same interests. Under a design made by teachers, summer projects might end up dull or uninteresting towards many students as a whole, whereas student designed projects can appeal more to the interests of most, leading to more academic success overall. Under a student designed summer project, students can feel more involved in their assignments, and as such, will be more likely to choose things which interest them. By having students design summer assignments, they can select subjects which maintain their interest in education and provide for the improvement of previous lessons.
Teachers are not omnipotent. If they were, students would be able to find much more joy in an education experience much more personalized to their interests. Instead, throughout the school year, students are forced through a multitude of tasks which may not be up to par with their expectations. This issue, however, does not need to exist during summer projects as well. Under a student designed summer project, students can find much more interest in content which they otherwise might never learn, improve on subject areas concerning to them, and provide an adaptable schedule which matches their own work schedule, thus providing a better educational summer experience for everyone.",,561,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

4D1755B1E482,"School brings unforgettable memories. To all students get good grades and have time for their selves is something students want through their life. Many students prefer to stay home and take their classes online. It can make a lot time for student to have for their selves. Also, can affect to learn an important skill in life such how to communicate and have friendships with other people. Although some may believe otherwise, have friends, clubs, and fun flip trips prove that students such consider to attend their school and not be home all the time.
Having friends can make a student learn from each other. For example, I was offered an option to attend classes from home, and through all my elementary school years I spent my time at home study. One day, I decided to have my classes in school with other students. I learned some many things that I have never thought of learning. I got to know new people beside my family. Making friends was of the best things, and I never realizes having friendships is to get to know each other. School is not only a place to learn, but making relationship with other people and learn have to communicated. Some people may believe that friendships can be unhealthy, cause bully, and depression to students. In the other hand, students such not isolated their selves from people, having a friend can make a big different in a students life, and learn how to communicated with one an others.
School have many clubs that student have created to help others. In my school, there are many clubs that help with collecting food, clothes, or supplies to give to the people that need it. Other clubs show new ways to make a better community and help the environment. Me, like a student participated in this activities is something very wonderful. This is a privilege of attend school with others student, we get to come out with ideas to make this world a better place to live. Some may disagree in this ideas, but have a places such like a clubs to get together, and shared opinions about how to make our life more activate in this world. Therefore, student are the future and getting to know each other it can make a different in society.
Get to go to school flip trips and explored new experiences. Almost every school had made a trip for students to have fun and learning something new. It could be a trip to a museum, a park, or historic places. In my life experience, this trips can be very fun. It's better being visiting a place than reading a textbook that related on the topic. Being home school may not give student to participated in this activities with other students. They probably have more time to get out and got to trips. Would this be fun for those student without having the opportunity to spend time with other students, and make a memory that may stay for rest of their life. People would argued about this, but being studying with other students is way to built unforgettable memories. In other words, go in flip trip with other students and spend time together can make student life more happy.
In conclusion, one point in life we look back for those unforgettable memories, and we smile at the special moment, we had. Taking classes from home can be benefit for some students. In my opinion, I disagree in this position because student need to built up friendships, participated clubs, and go out in school flip trips. Spending time with one an others can help student to be better to communicated with others and be more confident to themselves. It get student to be ready to see the world at head of them.

Many people are doing community service. In my opinion students should be required to have community service. It is a great way to show support to your community. This could help students to become better people. Cleaning litter could help the environment.
The first reason for community service is that it will support the community. Most people would feel like doing the right thing. It would probably be less crime. For example helping others could change someone's mind set. They'd feel as though they had a purpose which is to help.
Second of all, it helps students become better people. Helping the community can become a habit. Tutoring a student can change their future. They can become successful one day. The person you taught might recognize you for their success.
Finally, cleaning litter can help the environment. For example cleaning around the school makes it more presentable. It also leaves a good feeling that you have done something great. It shows leadership and character. This could come in handy one day.

5C4554F1B319,"Avantages for limiting car usage is a real eye opener. Giving up your cars and walking your kids to and from school and then walk to work is alot of exercise. Also it helps out with the enviroment greatly. Some people even say it makes them feel better or less tense ""when I had car i was always tense. I'm much happier this way,"". This was said by a mother of two and a media trainer.
The pollution caused by cars is a pretty big deal of why we have pollution. In paris they have even partially banned driving. If they do drive then they will get a thirty-one dollar fine if you have an even numberd license plate. Then the the next day it would be an odd numbered license plate ""On monday motorists with even-numberd license plates were orderd to leave their cars at home or suffer a 22-euro fine ($31).The same would apply to odd-numbered plates the following day.""
Some countries even hold programs every year addressing this situatuon. In Bogota,Columbia they hold a car-free day. Where Colombians either walked or rode bisicles or they hiked and took buses to work that day. This program was held for three years straight and who ever violated this program was to be finned with twenty-five dollars.""BOGOTA,Colombia--In a program that set to spread to other countries,millons of colombians hikes,biked,skated or took buses to work during a car-free day yesterday, leaving the streets of this capital city errily devoid of traffic jams.""
It helps a lot with exercise I believe. A lot of americans are obeiest because of lack of exercise. This whole idea will certainly help out alot with health and exercise. If you just walk from your house to a block away thats helping your legs and cardiovascular muscles get stronger as well. If we do eventually have an car- free day i believe that pollution and obiesity will also go down.
Also the gas prices will go down and we wouldnt have to borrow oil from other countries as well. If we wouldnt drive so may cars and everyone rides bikes and walk we wouldnt need gas stations and things like that. It would also help with people being fined and not being able to pay for it. It would help D.U.I's since you wouldnt be driving while you were drinking and causes of deaths when a drunk driver hits someone else.
Over all I feel this is a great idea to look into. You would be cutting down on the pollution and gas prices. You would also be cutting down on peoples health like obesity and breathing in hasardious smoke fumes.

32D963437AAA,"Our world is changing. People try to improve things we use most in daily life. Cars is a highly used mode of transportation and Sergey Brin is on a quest to improve daily use of cars. Many positives and negatives can be found in the use of driverless cars. I find that if something is not good, make it better. If people find many flaws in driverless cars, then I see a need to improve it. I think the idea of a driverless car should be futher developed until the positives clearly outweigh the negatives.
I think that driverless cars could be very valuble in the future. The driverless car comes with many benefits. One of the major upsides of a driverless car is hypothetically safer than a car with a human driver. Human drivers are subject to drunk driving, sleeping while driving, and overall human errors. In a world of all cars being driverless cars, commute from destination to destination would be more efficient. The estimated time from place to place would be more exact as cars would be traveling the quickest route consistently. People would also be traveling legally at the right speed. As it says in paragraph one, gas expenses would also go down. When the car knows where it is going, there is no route to get lost on, therefore less distance traveled, less money spent on gas. People can also pay a lot of money towards fines and other crash related expenses. Ideally, driverless cars would eliminate the penalty of speeding and would hopefully eliminate the expenses of a crash. However, the idea of a driverless car is still in the making.
Driverless cars can also come with various disadvantages. One of the most obvious downsides of a driverless car is price. The price of a driverless car would be insane. In paragraph four and five, the passage mentions the various sensors needed in order to mimic the ability of a human driver. It also says, ""Sensors are nothing new, of course."" However, cars with these sensors in them are known to cost more than most cars. Not to mention the act of adding many more sensors which would continue to the raise the price of this vehicle. Another downside this passage brings up is the idea of liability. In a perfect world, we would like to imgaine a perfect car that would never get in accidents or collisions. However, we know that accidents are possible due to pedestrians, bikers, natural reasons and more. So liability comes into play when an accident is on hand. Depending on the situation, who is to blame? There is yet to be laws made in order to determing this question, but the idea of driverless cars remain the same.
Driverless cars need to be improved, investigated, and developed more before they are determined to be logical modes of transportation for our world today. I think the idea of a driverless car makes sense, but much more research needs to resolve these negative downsides. In order for the driverless car to product the people want, the price would have to be reasonable and the saftey of the passengers would need to be ensured.

7E558B4E7009,"Seeking multiple opinions is always better than only getting one. Having different people look at your problem offers new solutions others might not have thought of before. Only getting one opinion isn't reliable because that one person could be biased in one direction or might not be as experienced as others. While only asking one inexperienced person may lead to bias, multiple opinions could lead to new solutions to your problem.
Asking multiple people is better than only asking one because the one person you're asking could be inexperienced with the topic. Some people are more experienced with some topics then others. For example, some students are better at math and science then they are at English and civics. If you needed help with civics class then you shouldn't ask those students because they aren't great at civics. Asking multiple people for their advice is less risky than only asking one person who could be inexperienced with the topic.
Another reason you should ask multiple people instead of one is because they might be biased. Bias is when a person is leaning towards one side of an argument because of something personal. If you ask someone who is biased in one direction then you won't be able to hear the other side of the argument. For example, when people are called for jury duty, the government chooses people that are unbiased toward the topic. By asking multiple people for their advice and opinions, you would be able avoid bias and hear both sides of the argument.
Not only is getting multiple opinions more secure than only getting one, but getting multiple opinions could also lead to more advice and new solutions for your problem. Not everyone thinks the same, some people are sure to come up with solutions that others haven't thought of. You only get one solution by asking only one person while the more people you ask, the more solutions you have to your problem. The more solutions you have, the easier it is to solve your problem.
Seeking only one opinion is not as good as seeking multiple opinions. While the one person you're asking could be inexperienced with the topic or be biased, asking multiple people for their advice is more secure and should get you more solutions.

Bologna and cheese! Pepperoni and pizza! Peanut butter and jelly! These are all things that go together. What doesn't go together it's texting and driving. Cell phones have become so commonplace that people don't see how much of a danger they can be. Cell phone use should not be permitted while driving. Cell phones should be stored away/out of reach while driving a vehicle. Some of the reasons cell phones shouldn't be allowed while driving include distraction for the driver, leading to increased deaths or increase accidents.
Distracted driving accounts for approximately ""25%"" of all motor vehicle fatalities according to the website Teensafe. com. Teens make up the largest group of distracted drivers. Because of their inexperience accidents involving teen could most likely involve in death. Cell phones are a major cause of distracted driving resulting in more than 400,000 injuries and 4,000 deaths each year according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (www. geotab. com) Drivers can also get distracted by eating or drinking, worrying about the radio, reading directions, talking/texting( anything that has to deal with cell phone use.)
Road rage also accumulates with cell phone use because being on the phone while not paying 100% to the road could lead to accidents which could lead to a road rage between drivers. 50% becomes aggressors due to the driving habits of others. Unsafe lane changing because of drivers being on their cell phones. People who text while driving are 6 times more likely to get into accidents than those who drive while intoxicated. More than half of drivers will experience road rage in their life.
There are those who will argue that cell phones aren't any better than any other distractions such as playing with the radio or looking for something in the car while on the road. Both distracted drivers and road rage are common to each other. Road rage is apart of cell phone use just like distractions during driving in an vehicle. Use of cell phone can take an individuals eye's off the road for anywhere from 30 secs to 1 minute whic can result in road rage from cars close by the driver who is distracted. Cell phone use is a part of distractions for drivers which can cause road rage and an conflict between drivers.
Cell phone use while driving is a major distraction which can result in road rage and/or an accident. For many reasons cell phones and driving do not go together. Drivers need to be focused and alert while on the road. Drivers lose focus when they are worried about answering their phone while on the road. Phones while driving are hazardous for everyone.

786C86C9ACFE,"Dear Senator,
I am astudent from Lakewood Ranch High School in Bradenton. I have recently been informed about wanting to make certain changes to the election process. I am not of an age to vote, yet I am informed about how the election process works and the role the electorial college plays withing it.
The electoral college is a proces, not a place, which consists of 538 electors. During this process the public casts their vote for their favorite candidate. The votes are added up in each state and whichever candidate has got the most votes is for whom the state's representatives will vote towards. Each state's number of representatives is determined acoording to polpulation with California having the most electorial votes at 55. Electors can change their votes for whomever they'd like, yet it is highly unlikeley. In order for a candidate to win an election he or she must obtain 270 votes out of 538.
Some may argue that the people's votes don't necessarily influence the outcome of the election since electors can still change for whom they vote for, so they request that the popular vote determine who becomes president. This idea implies that all eligible citizens in the U.S. to vote in the election when truth being over half of the nationwide population does not cast a vote, with the leading cause being apathy. Also it is implied that all citizens are informed about who they vote for. During a presidential campaign, a political party will put most of their efforts in ""swing states"", these are the states with the most electors. This means that people from smaller states will recieve little or no information about the candidates causing the citizens to cast a blind vote.
The main reason of why the electorial campaign should determine who wins instead of the popular vote is the public can be too easily influenced. If a particular candidate is preferred in certain areas, the population in or around that area might be influenced to vote for that individual. Also people can be peer-pressured into voting for someone they might not agree with.
In my opinion the U.S. population is not ready for that kind of responsability. The electoral college was established to help the election proces run smoothly and it has worked for decades without any major flukes or flaws. So why change now?

I would recommend using ''Policy 1'',because students bring their phone to school anyways.
If you do allow students to use their phone at school at free times they would like school a lot more. Especially teens they would love the fact that they can use their phones at school during a free time. A lot of students today get in trouble for bringing their phone to school.
There are some good reasons for students to bring their phones to school. Here's three examples, example one, they might for get their gym clothes, so they'll wait until a free time to call their parents to drop their clothes off. Example two, a student might get hurt at school and no one is around, all they'll have to do is pull out their cell phones and call their parents . Example three, A student might stay after school for tryout's or something and didn't tell their parents. Instead of having their parent worried sick about them they can call them and tell them where they are.
If you use policy 2 students will bring them anyways. The more trouble students get in , the more work you'll have to do. So let them bring there phones to school. They'll love it! If you do allow them to bring there phones to school they'll text there friends and tell them about it, Then there friends are going to move to your school.

A603DBD5D182,"Have you ever wondered how professional athletes got their start? Extracurricular activities have a part in that. From football teams to science clubs, students are participating in life changing events. Students create special bonds over these activities, which makes them so important. It is a good idea for principals to require all students to participate in extracurricular activities. These activities are a good way for students to be introduced to one another, they open up opportunities for these kids, and it gives these kids something to look forward to.
Extracurricular activities are a great way for students to meet and bond with new people. Some students are far more shy and reserved then others may be. There are kids who are sitting by themselves every day, and are constantly alone, but having these kids in a school club or activity could really help them with making friends. Schools are constantly getting new students, but these kids might not adapt as well as one might think. Being the new kid is always hard on students, and is sometimes very scary, but having these kids participating in extracurricular's could help students meet new people and begin friendships. Students might be having a hard time fitting in at their school. Being a part of a club where they are surrounded by others like them could help them realize they are not the only people who struggle, and they have people to rely on. Extracurricular activities could have a great impact on a student's social life.
These activities have opened up countless amounts of opportunities for these teenagers. Some families might not have enough money for their child to play on a professional sports team, but these kids are given the opportunity to represent for their school teams. School sports teams can help kids accomplish things they could only dream of, and it can become a treasured experience for them. Students can get the kickoff to their career with extracurricular activities. Athletes in high school are often scouted out by recruiters for college teams, which can end up with these students playing in national leagues for a living. Teenagers can put on their job resumes what they accomplished throughout their high school sports career, or even on teams like the debate team. Accomplishments as big as winning state and national championships, or as little as winning a game can help managers get a sense of who you are. Extracurricular school activities have a higher value in different ways throughout your life.
Students often have nothing to look forward to as they go to school, but having extracurricular activities gives them something to be looking forward to. Some sports teams or school clubs like to hold after school practices or meetings that are mandatory for the students to attend. Kids might be waiting to go to their football practice, or their team meeting, throughout the day, so they can work hard after school and see their teammates and friends. On occasional weekends, or in some cases every weekend, their team might be playing in a game or going to a competition, which causes students to become excited. Some of these students are very dedicated to what they do and when they go out to compete or to play they give it everything they have, and they feel very accomplished if they become the champion. Some of these kids are not getting out of the house very often, but these activities, like sports, give them a reason to. They might not be leaving their house because they have nowhere to be and nothing to do, but playing sports gives them a reason to become active. These activities are the reason some kids enjoy going to school.
It should be required for students to take at least one extracurricular activity. These activities have created many benefits to a students daily life. Shy kids learn to open up to others and to talk to people, while others get opportunities opened up for them. Most kids enjoy these activities, and look forward to them. In the future, more schools should be opening up to extracurricular activities, and make sure all students have the opportunity to be a part of one.

10BE8DD83F81,"Summer is the season where students like to have nothing but fun and relaxation. During this time, expanding your learning capability in subjects like reading, science, history, and math is never a bad thing. Some schools in the United States are now requiring that students complete summer projects during the break to ensure that students are not getting far behind. But this raises the question of if students should design their program, or if the teachers should design the program. Teachers should design any and all programs designated for students because students are not always trustworthy, teachers have better insight in knowing what each student needs to achieve, and if a student chooses, whose to say they have not picked something they have already completed prior to summer.
One factor in why teachers should design the program is that students are not always trustworthy. When teachers designate programs in the summer, they set up programs that are for educational purposes. To most students ""educational learning"" is playing Fortnite all day until they win a battle. Or calculating how many miles it takes them to drive from work, home, a party, and back. For example, a young man by the name of ""Generic_Name"" was well known in the Generic_School community. He was a football, basketball, and lacrosse player who was class president the first three years in high school. As president, one of his major duties were to plan the student summer program, and he knew that the summer program was meant to be educational. The teacher sponsor of class council decided to show up at one of the program meetings one summer day before senior year, and to his surprise, he found out that Generic_Name ""summer program"" was a summer long improve tournament.
What some students fail to understand, is that teachers know exactly what they are doing and what each student needs to achieve. As everyone knows, not all students are the same. Whether that is in the way they learn, look, speak, or comprehend. Another student that was popular in the Generic_School district named ""Generic_Name"", was always strong in most subjects except science. So during his time at his summer program, the teachers always gave him science stuff to work on, while also adding his strongest studies here and there. Generic_Name friend Generic_Name was a strange case. Generic_Name was smarter than Generic_Name by a landslide, and that is saying a lot being that Generic_Name was a genius. Generic_Name pretty much passed any test you threw his way, but Generic_Name, his AP Spanish teacher, felt that he could be better in Spanish, even though he finished with a ""B"". He had to give up his swimming camp with Michael Phelps, just to spend the summer practicing Spanish with Generic_Name. As a result, he got a perfect score on his AP test, and came to college with six credits just from that class.
Being a kid, you are born into a terrible skill of being sneaky and sometimes getting away with it. If students were able to design programs during the summer, how could it be known that it is not a program they have already completed? Generic_Name was the first third and fourth grader to complete all 12 multiplication tables in under a minute at Woodbrook Elementary School. Because of this, he needed to do something different for his summer program, but because he was able to choose what students had to do, he completed the same 12 multiplication tables year after year. He even had the nerve to put on his college application that he has been in charge of and participated in math camp for nine years. And of course, the Business school of Generic_School accepted him.
Now what is not always true is that every kid are not capable of designing their own summer program. In fact, there is a great amount that would not only help themselves, but also help others in excelling in their learning capabilities. But facts are the facts, not every child can be trusted. And what hassle is it to have a teacher be in charge of designing when they already get paid to teach? Some people will not understand, while others will, but in reality, the help from an adult can go a long way!",,709,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

33FFF620DDD8,"Cars were invented by Harrison Ford to allow humans to have easier and safer access to transportation.
Cars and automotive vehicles were designed to enhance safety and allow passangers to efficiently arrive to their destination.
Cars were engineered to be driven, powered, and handled by humans, not to be self automated devices.
Humans as a whole should not have automated cars. Having a trasnportation vehicle that is soley reliant on detectors is not a safe way to travel from place to place. Whether the distance is near or far, accidents are always prone to happen, and those chances only increase with a human not in complete control behind the wheel. The article states that ""the human driver must remain alert and be ready to take over when the situation requires,"" but can this really be achieved when the driver has the ability to become more distracted, stop paying attention, or even fall asleep when the car is being dirven for them? Having a self driven car allows many more opportunities to be distracted while on the road, and it is not garunteed that the driver will immediatley snap back into attention when human control is needed. If the car is unable to handle itself in dangerous or unknown situations, should people really be letting the car drive on a road where there are many unpredictable factors? The article says ""flashing lights"" and ""vibrating seats"" will notify the driver when danger is near, but this is simply not an efficient or probable solution if the driver were to be asleep or distracted, which would give anyone a slow reaction time. ""...safety is best achieved with alert drivers."" Haveing a self driven car would simply make the driver much too reliant on the vehicle they are in.
The world is becoming too dependent on technology, and if we allow ourselves to be driven by an object that was invented for us to drive, we are only furthering this conflict.
Becoming too dependent on technology has made us oblivious to the world around us, so just think how worse that could be if we allow cars that give us room to be side tracked while on the road with a countless number of individuals. If automated cars become a reality for everyone, what other things will we let do the simplest things we can do ourselves? The text states ""Can you imagine a time in the future when no one buys cars because no one needs them anymore?"" This statement simply is not true in the context of self driven cars. We will still have cars, we will just fail to know how to use them ourselves.
Cars are a widely used object world wide, but not everyone can afford them. The cars we have today are expensive, so what will the cost of a new, self driven car will be? If the goal is to ""...release a car capable of driving on autopilot 90 percent of the time"" becomes reality, there will only be a select demographic of people who will be able to afford these cars. The more cars companies and manufacturers make and the less cars people are able to buy, the more in debt these companies will be in. Neither party will be benefiting from self driven cars.
Some individuals would argue that we as a society and race need to push ourselves forward and take advantage of the new technology being invented so we can take the next step into achieving greatness. This is a very broad notion that can only pertain to certain inventions and situations, the automated car not being one of them. Allowing all technology and inventions to take over our lives will only result in the lack of knowledge of how to take care of ourselves and the people that surround us.
We need to learn to become more independent on the things that are handed to us in order to keep the humanity we have. This is what seperates the living beings from the computers we come in contact with everyday. Others would even argue that the self driven car is safer to handle and will enhance the protection of others, but how can this be true if faulty technology is inevitable? Faulty technology will also result in confusing and frustrating lawsuits, as demonstrated in the article. ""If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault- the driver or the manufacturer?""
We simply cannot rely on computers to do all our work for us, it is impractical.

8A63149E402C,"Going to school back and forth can be exhausting and inconvenient so wouldnt distance learning be a decent alternative? No, distance learning would not benefit the student because it would make it harder to make meaningful relationships, the courses would change, and it would be easier to become distracted during schoolwork.
My first reason for why students would not benefit from distance learning is that it would make it harder to make meaningful relationships. For example in my own life I have made some of my best friends through the public school system. In third grade I met a kid named Generic_Name and over the years because we went to the same school we became close friends and he even hooked me up with a job last summer. In seventh grade I had a less than desirable English teacher whose monotone voice made him sound like he came straight out of a charlie brown cartoon. Because of him I met a guy named Generic_Name who I quickly befriended because our shared hate toward our English teacher, and now I get a free movie sometimes when Generic_Name is on staff at the Regal movie theater, who I never would have meet if we didnt go to the same school. On the other hand there are people that believe it is possible to be connected and make new relationships online, and even though it is possible to do so their reasoning is flawed due to the fact that it is always easier to make new relationships through face to face physical contact. Someone who exemplifies this fact perfectly is my friend Generic_Name who I met in middle school. In middle school Generic_Name was my best friend, but this changed when she moved and her parents decided to have her take an online schooling program. While she does well in the course she has told me that she misses going to a physical school where she can actually see people because it is harder to make friends due to the nature of the online course and because of the online course whenever I do get to see her she is way more socially awkward than she used to be. All in all distance schooling not only makes it more difficult to make meaningful relationships but because of the lack of those meaningful relationships it makes it even more difficult to learn the intricacies of social interaction.
Another reason for why students would not benefit from distance learning is that the nature of the courses that we take would change for the worse. For example In my ninth grade biology class we had to dissect a frog and organize it's organs. During the assignment I learned more about that frog than I could anywhere else because of the hands on nature of the assignment. This just goes to show that if we started using distance learning courses they would miss out on the hands on portion of learning. On the other side of the argument there are those that believe the hands on portion of learning is not very important, and that might apply for some people however buy in large the hands on part is extremely important due to the fact that everyone learns differently whether it be auditory, visual, or hands on. Someone who demonstrates this fact excellently is my friend Generic_Name. I met Generic_Name sophomore of high school in my chemistry class, and during this class we were given a lot of lab assignments with a paper packet to go with it. During these assignments I would understand most of the work given to us while Generic_Name was a little more lost, and while I tried to help him through the packet he could never fully contemplate the complex design of the stapled pieces of paper, but this all changed once we got to the hands on section. As soon as we got to the hands on portion of whatever lab we were doing it was almost as if he was a completely different person, I would stand back and watch in awe as he took perfect measurements, solving complicated math equations, and just dominating the lab overall. So in the end distance learning would not only take away amazing hands on activities but by doing so would prevent us from learning how we learn whether it be Auditory, Visual, or hands on.
My last reason for why students would not benefit from distance learning is that it would make it even easier to be distracted from working. For example whenever I am at home doing my math homework and I am getting particularly bored with it it is very easy to ""take a quick break"". This could mean anything from a two minute glass of water or a five hour nap depending on how I am feeling. So if I took a online course I would have to face this same dilemma with every assignment I am given. On the other side of the fence there are some people that believe that they are very studious and would never have a problem like this. While I get where they are coming from, their reasoning is still wrong because even if they are the most studious person in the world that temptation to become distracted will still always be there. Someone who demonstrates this perfectly is my friend Generic_Name. Generic_Name is probably one of the most hard working people I have ever known, not only does he take high level courses for his age but he also does track all while being home schooled. Not only will he deny every offer of a hangout but he will also stay up way later than he should just to finish his latest assignment, but even though he does all of these things I will occasionally catch him logging into Minecraft when I know he shouldnt be, and because of this he usually has awful time management skills. This just goes to show how distance learning not only makes it easier to become distracted because of how convenient it is but also how it enforces bad study habits because of the lack of a classroom.
Distance learning in theory is a great idea because of how convenient it is, but the main reason why distance learning would not benefit students is because of how convenient it is. So to sum up schools should stay the way they are and not offer any distance courses because of how it would change what we are able to learn.",,1084,Distance learning,Independent,Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing.

65E9951C2D75,"What is the Electoral College? The Electoral College is a process ,not a place. The founding fathers established it in the constitution as a compromise between elections of the President by a vote in congress and election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens. In the United States people select a president every three years. They would either select their president by Electoral College, or by the most popular vote.
Voting by Electoral College is not safe at all,they should change it to election by popular vote for the President of the United States. When you vote by elecoral vote it is never guaranteed that they are going to vote for who you wanted to vote for. They might even change their mind at the last second ,so you never know what they are about to do. Some rich people can pay them to buy off their votes. Then ,boom you lost a vote it might result to a tie or lost. According to paragraph 11 ""In the same vein,''faithless"" electors have occasionally refused to vote for their party's candidate and cast and deciding vote for whomeverthey please..."". You never what could happen ,it is like taking a very riskfull risk and every votes matter .Just one vote can make a very big difference. Further more,voting by popular vote would give you a better chance of getting your candidate to win .When you are the one that elects the President you feel more confident and good .You'll know that you voted for the one you wanted to win and the one that you think that will change everything the way you wanted to. Also ,you don't have worry about anything else ,like people going in the voting box and taking the votes out. Once you vote ,your vote is immediately safe.
In the other hand,voting by Electoral College benefited us .Obama which is the current president of the United States wouldn't probably be president if it wasn't for them. Accordind to the last article ""In [2012's ] election ,for example ,Obama recieved 61.7 percent of the electoral vote compared to only 51.3 percent of the popular votes cast for him and Romney....'' That means their votes helped Obama win. Also' the Electoral College avoids problem of elections in which no candidates recieves a majority of the votes cast. Winners take all methods in awarding electoral votes for what they've done.
To summarise my reasonnings Electoral College votes should be change to election by popular vote for the president of the United States. Peoples should be allowed to vote on their own.

1777FB4DAD97,"It's a simple decision. Between a master of a profession who has spent 4-plus years honing their craft, and a child too naive to understand the complicated things in life. To exercise full understanding and demonstrate significant levels of mastery, summer projects should be created by the teachers themselves and not the students. Lack of effort, poor management skills, and incompetence as to what knowledge must be gathered all lead to the students' demise in creating a summer project tailored to them. As much as students want to manufacture their own vessels of learning, it only feels right that they allow the trained professionals to handle it.
A big reason as to why students shouldn't be allowed to make their own summer projects is because of the season. With all the fun and activities students may be experiencing over break, they won't have any willingness to quit and sit down to do schoolwork. That's why if a student were to design their own project, I can only envision a project so obnoxiously easy that anyone can do it. An example of the laziness of students would be this one moment in 7th grade. A friend of mine realized that he hadn't done the summer assignment for the previous year, which was to read a book and provide a summary. What he thought of instead was to pick the easiest book imaginable, Dr. Seuss, and write his report on that.
Furthermore, students are oblivious as to the specific pieces of information that will be needed for the following school year. If a class the previous year was in math, than a student-designed project on 2-step equations wouldn't be able to accurately prepare them for whatever rigorous curriculum (matrices, per say) is being presented the following year, therefore not growing. This is because they lack the understanding as to what exactly the following course is going to emphasize. This is countered by presenting teacher-designed summer projects. By having a trained individual develop it, the required knowledge necessary for the student to comprehend is presented in a way where the student is not only able to reinforce their knowledge, but also expand it.
Finally, the penultimate reason as to why teacher-designed project are far superior than student-led ones is because of time management. Plenty of students are masters of procrastination, putting off one assignment not due for awhile then cramming and stressing a day before the due date. I myself am guilty of this. If a summer project created by student it assigned, then the belief of the student is that of ""Oh, I made it tailored to me so therefore it won't be hard at all to do."" This ideology creates a maelstrom of anxiety that is fully unleashed as summer winds down, as the student hasn't even touched it. An exhibition of this ticking time bomb was a personal experience that occurred not too long ago. A 10 page history paper was assigned to my class and I in early February. I wasn't worried at all, as the due date had been set for the first week of March. This lack of worry snowballed and created an avalanche of haste, as in the 3 days prior to the due date I was forced to sit at my computer and subject my self to the cruel and unusual punishment of essay writing, often 3 hours at a time.
In essence, it would be an absolute catastrophe if summer projects were designed by students. Students lack the expertise in making assignments difficult enough to produce growth, understanding the level of intelligence they need to meet for the following year, and time management. All summer projects should be left to be designed by those who get paid to do it, teachers.",,622,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

And the technology that is being used for it is amazing and very useful. in the artical it says that ""They even indicate the difference between a genuine smaile and a forced one.""

Because the expressions are the same for everyone. another amazing part about this invention is its ability not only to read the persons face and emotions. The computer can read the emotions on a picture or in a painting.
For example they used the Mona Lisa ""It's the subject of Leonardo da Vinci's Renaissance painting."" This opens up even more doors into what this invention can be used for. If it can read off a picture or a painting then they can use it to find out so many other things in history on other paintings or photos. This invention is amazing and truly a revolutionary peace of equipment.
So i conclude that this invention is a great tool for many things and it will be used for many great things to come. This will change the way some people work and how they do there everyday tasks. This can branch off into so much more then just reading someones face. It really will revolutionize and change a path for the future if they build off of this invention in the right way.

0F9E444C9DF7,"How do you feel about school itself? Im guessing your not a big fan, but what if your principal said that every student has to participate in one extracurricular activity? Your probably not on board yet so i'll tell you some reasons why these activities could better you and the school. Extracurricular activities can make you new friends in school, they can help you find a hidden talent, and it can make you enjoy school more.
So how can these activities make you friends? I'll tell you. For example, if your not certain who signed up for the same thing as you, you might meet new people who have the same things in common with you. You guys both could be really good at something and thats what you talk about. Another thing is if your on a sports team the players and you could go play whatever sport outside of school. Even in school, during practice it wouldnt be nerve racking because you guys all know each other.
Everyone has a talent, just others show theirs better than others. Well the extra activities could bring out the best in you and your abilities. If you play basketball, but you dont do it that serious why not try out for the school team? Who knows you might make the team and do really good the season and then the next season you can come back better than ever. Lets say your struggling in math and you really need the extra time to do good, But after some time of the help your one of the smartest people in the class and you help people who were in your shoes.
Not a lot of people like school. Believe it im with you im not a huge fan of school myself but i still manage to enjoy it a little bit. You see, if you and some of your friends joined the same club or did the same activity do you know how much fun that would be? All of you could talk and do something you guys might enjoy like sports, yearbook, and the student council. One more thing is what if you really wanted to play for the school basketball team but your grades are holding you back? Well everyone has to do an activity so you could play and enjoy it with your friends. That doesn't mean dont worry about your grades because that always comes first.
So would you be on board with this idea? It will get you new friends, help you find something inside you that you didnt even know was there, and it will make school much more enjoyable. I think every school should use this format for these 3 reasons i stated. Even though picking something you might not be good at or you dont know is a learning curve you could still have a blast with your friends.",,479,Mandatory extracurricular activities,Independent,"Your principal has decided that all students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity.

41A3FC274B69,"""Hey Generic_Name are you going to the movies today?"" asked Generic_Name. ""Hmm I don't think so I have to go talk to my sister about something"" replied Generic_Name. It was the end of the school day, and Generic_Name's sister Generic_Name was going to pick her up from school. ""Hey kiddo how was your day?"" asked Generic_Name. It was okay I guess"" answered Generic_Name. Generic_Name asked Generic_Name, ""What's wrong?"" ""Look I was wondering if I can ask you something"" said Generic_Name. ""Sure what's going on?"" replied Generic_Name. ""So I wanted to go to the movies today but, I didn't want to go because Generic_Name was going to bring her new friends and, her friends are really mean to me and I don't want to tell her"" said Generic_Name. ""Look you have to tell her friends to back off and to leave you alone"" said Generic_Name in anger. For some people it's hard to make the right choice. Sometimes they don't know what to do so they ask for advice. When asking for advice to more than one person is helpful because you can see what people have to say to you advice, you can agree to some of the advice they have to give you, and some people might know the answer to your problem because they went through this situation.
To begin with most people have different opinions to people's problems, but that's a good thing because you can ask multiple people to your own problem. You can go and ask so many people and hear what they have to say. Everyone has different opinions which is good but you know a great thing about asking for advice is that you can choice which one you would take. An example to this is a kid named Generic_Name who as dealing with a big problem so his girlfriend was cheating on him, but he really didn't know what to do about it ,because he loved her so much. So he went off to ask so many people for their opinion about this. Generic_Name heard a lot of different things, he heard that he should stay with her and forget about what she did, to leave her and never talk to her, and just to talk to her and confront her. At the end of the day he knew what choice to pick because he heard many people's opinions, and he knew the right choice. This was just by hearing them, that's why you should listen to what people have to say.
Another problem that can help you when asking for advice is you can agree and disagree to what everyone has to say. That's the best thing if you don't agree with them you can say why you don't agree with them. Also its just not going to be disagreeing and agreeing with one person but multiple people. An example to this is Generic_Name who hate's helping her bullies with her homework. She always has to help her bullies with homework and she still hasn't told anyone about this problem. One day she wanted to tell someone so she told her mom, and she said that she should tell them to leave her alone, but if she did that they wouldn't stop. So she didnt like her mom's answer so she she asked her friend, Generic_Name and she said to not do anything and leave it alone. Generic_Name didn't like that answer too. She asked her grandma and she said to tell a teacher, this was the answer she knew she needed and she took her advice a went for it. Generic_Name told on them and they left her alone, she knew she made the right choice but she was disagreeing to some of the things that didn't sound right. This a great way to get you choice by agreeing and disagreeing tell you know which one is the right choice.
The last thing is asking multiple people for advice is good because if you ask people for help they might of had this problem too. It's good to see people had the same problem as you and they can help you. A reason to this is Generic_Name who had a problem to when she had a friend talking behind her back and still hanging out with her was a issue she had. She knew she had to tell someone, she told her mom, her aunt, her grandma, and her sister. Generic_Name asked all of them and none of them had this problem expect her sister. She was taking to her what happen and how it ended. Generic_Name was happy that she knew what to do because someone went through this. So what she had to do was tell her that she doesn't wasnt a friend who lies to her and talks behind her back. She said this and never talked to her again which was said but she knew what to do because someone went thought this, it helped her a lot.
""Hey Generic_Name can I talk to you for a little bit about something"" asked Generic_Name. Generic_Name replied ""Sure what's up."" ""So your friends have been taking bad about me and I don't like that, your friends are so mean to I dont know how you like them."" said Generic_Name. ""Oh I didn't know that I thought that they like you it"" replied Generic_Name. ""Um they don't but I don't want hang out with them just you like we use to"" said Generic_Name. ""Me too I don't even like them too, thank you for telling me"" said Generic_Name. ""Yeah me too"" said Generic_Name. ""Um why did it take you so long to tell me"" asked Generic_Name. ""I needed to know how to tell you so I asked helped for many people"" answered Generic_Name. When asking for advice from multiple people is helpful that's why we should ask for help when we need it. It's okay to ask more than one person it helps a lot, just how it helped Generic_Name.

There are times that in the classroom, students do not want to do their work and the teacher does not know how are they feeling about the work she is giving. That is when the teachers can find out what the students are feeling. The teacher can also use this program for assignments for the students.

968C5FD61184,"I honestly think that Policy 1 is a more reasonable choice than Policy 2. Policy 1 gives students the freedom to have their phones on school grounds and use them, but not the distraction of using them in class. In my opinion, Policy 1 is a better choice. Not being able to bring phones to school would mean students may not be able to contact Parents, Guardians, or other family members that they need to contact.
A student may need a way to get home but without having his/her phone they would have no way to contact someone to pick them up. Also, Policy 1 gives students socializing time without being late to class. Teachers wouldn't have to take up phones and distract the rest of the class because a student was using their phone. Students would have the opportunity to talk to people that they can't meet up with in the hallways, or after school.
I think teachers and students would benefit from Policy 1. If you chose Policy 2 i honestly think that students would bring them anyway and use them during class, causing them to not pay attention and make bad grades. If you enforced Policy 1 most students wouldn't be using them in class, for they can use them in free time and during lunch. Having the opportunity to use them in free time would make students more motivated to finish their work, and get things done.
There's a chance that students would fail because of them using their phones in class, and not paying attention to what's being taught.

C1BDFD85234D,"There is no ""face"" on the planet Mars in the Cydonia region. I feel that it is people's imagination coming to life in strong arguments. Although it isn't a face, people are still making a big controversy over the Face on Mars.
First of all, in 1976, when the picture was taken, technology wasn't the best, so it could have been some lack of better technology that could've made it look like a face. In paragraph 10, the author states, ""Each pixel in the 2001 image spans 1.56 meters, compared to 43 meters per pixel in the best 1976 Viking photo."" Also, in paragraph 11, the author says, ""So, if there were objects in this picture like airplanes on the ground or Egyptian-style pyramids or even small shacks, you could see what they were!"" These two quotes state that the improvement of technology has proved that this isn't any Martian-made object.
Secondly, the 2001 camera's high resolution allowed a closer and more evidential look. Again, in paragraph 10, the author states, ""Each pixel in the 2001 image spans 1.56 meters, compared to 43 meters per pixel in the best 1976 Viking photo."" This quotation's second reason proves that the camera could zoom in closer and get evidence to support that the formation is not a face.
Lastly, the formation is just a natural landform called a ""mesa."" The author says, ""Scientist figured it was just another Martian mesa, common enough around Cydonia, only this one had unusual shadows that made it look like an Egyptian Pharaoh."" In comparison, paragraph 12 claims, ""What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa---landforms common around the American West. 'It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho,' says Garvin. 'That's a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars.'"" Both of these quotes tell us that scientific research proves that the Face on Mars is fake, and that it is actually a mesa.
The Face on Mars in the region of Cydonia is actually a mesa. I feel that the Face on Mars is causing too much of a controversy. I hope that as technology improves, we can get better views on the landform to get better evidence that it is a Mesa and not a Martian-made face.",,392,The Face on Mars,Text dependent,"You have read the article 'Unmasking the Face on Mars.'

Its about making friends and connecting with teachers and be more responsible. Also one importent thing about school is that its free. Online classes are expencive,hard to get used to,and impossible to work at home. This is why attending online school wont be worth it.
First of all,.online classes can go up to 150 to 200 dollars. So, some students cant afford the classes. If you want to get online classes, you must get a job and work for weeks just to pay for online classes. When you can just go to school for free. Also if you do get a job it will affect your work at school and it will affect your job. So. is it worth it?
Secend of all, students can not focus when they are at home. Cant work on your homework because your little brother is crying nonstop? Just imagine doing an online class for 90 minutes at home. Also, home is a place to rest,have free time,and spend time with family and friends. Home is not a place for school.
Lastly,online classes can be hard to get used to. You have been in a class room this hole time in school. Now you have to get used to something new. Change can be hard on students. But,now they are all by themself in there house learning how to get through this online class. Where theres no one to help you but you. I am taking an online class in my last year of high school. Its hard. Its really hard. You wont understand what to do and what not to do. Because there is nobody showing me how to do it. Its just a 3 minutes video and now i have to wright a 3 page essay.

Teachers at school can help you to get through the class. In online class you dont know if you are doing something right or worng. There is no one to giude you but yourself.

Many students would like to play sports but have a C average, they would like to have a career in sports but are unable to because you could only play if you have a B average. That is unfair to them because they are good athletes but can's get their chance to shine because they have C' s so I say that it should be a C average because they're passing their classes and want a reward for that, and the reward is to play sports. I say you should let them play so they can get what they deserve.
Many kids play well in football, soccer, basketball etc. and would be good for the team but are unable to do good for their school. Do you really want that, for your team to look bad because they don't have good athletes? I say let them play and make this school look good. I know you would want that but right now you're making this school look really bad because the teams aren't doing any good. Let them play to make them and the school shine like it never has. Change it to a C average and the teams would be really good and this school would be one of the best. They're doing their best in classes and they should get rewarded big time like let them play on the teams and they would make you proud.
This is your chance to make this school shine so don't let it pass take advantage of it and let them on the teams. People miss their chance to shine and these kids are missing their chance because they are unable to play. Do you want to take that from them, their joy in life? So don't make a fool out of yourself and don't make this school a shame. Let them play so they don't miss their chance to shine, let them take advantage of it not let it go to waste. If they miss their chance, it wont come back they would never see it again and would never shine and are unable to make their families proud of their children.

D9AFEF8F5C41,"Summer is the time for most students to take a well-deserved break, and to relax until the next school year arrives. However, the question of whether or not students should have homework during this time is very relevant, and many can't seem to find a consensus on the multiple aspects of that question. One part of said question is whether or not projects should be teacher-designed or student designed. There are many advantages and disadvantages in both viewpoints; however, one is more logical than the other. Summer projects should be teacher-designed because they would be more challenging and relevant than student-designed projects, effectively keeping students brains active over such a long break. Being teacher-designed also enables students to have a glimpse of what their future classes for that school year looks like, and enforces a more equal and realistic standard on the actual work itself.
One advantage of having teacher-designed projects would be the aspect of challenge and relevance that it would bring in opposition to a student-designed project. The teachers certainly have the credibility to assign work specific to their class, while many students (if given freedom to design their own project) may not have an idea of what to do or how to start. The challenge of potentially new material also helps keep their brains fresh, and sparks a sense of interest towards the class. Having teacher-designed projects is also useful in reviewing material for classes that may have more levels. For example, many students forget basic algebra that they learned a couple years before taking Algebra II. Being given a project or homework from the teacher to guide them through re-learning some of that material would be beneficial not only for keeping their brains sharp, but for the helpful review for the class that comes with it.
Although one might say that it's unfair to do work over break and that the students should have the ability to choose the work they must do, it is less practical to operate in such a way. It is much more beneficial for the students in the long run to be able to keep their minds sharp over break, because it is easier to ease back into school and is helpful in becoming more intelligent overall. As a student myself, I have experienced summers where I have had summer homework, along with others where I have not. It was much easier to get back into school when I had summer homework to keep me occupied during the summer, and there was also a sense of accomplishment that came along with finishing it. Having the tangible assignment and deadline was also something that forced me to work on it and not procrastinate. On the flip side, if I hadn't had those certain restrictions it would have been much more difficult to me to work on and complete the project. Realistically, if projects were student-designed, it would also be much more difficult for teachers to accommodate every student individually and keep the criteria equal if they were to give them too much freedom. Therefore, it is just simply easier and more practical to have one guideline provided from the teacher.
Another advantage for the students is the fact that they would be able to have a glimpse of what the work for their future class entails, allowing them to have more flexibility in determining whether they would want to continue taking the class before the school year begins. It is generally easy to pick up on a teacher's way of teaching/the difficulty of the class when assigned summer projects directly from the teachers themselves. This allows students to have the option to switch to a higher or lower level if they find that the work doesn't match what they were expecting. If students were to design the project themselves, it would be much harder to pick up on how difficult the course actually was, which could be an unpleasant surprise at the beginning of the year.
Overall, the mere practicality of having teacher-designed projects outweighs the advantages of having student-designed projects. It is more beneficial for both the students and teachers as they come into the year feeling a little more prepared for the class. Looking forward, we should strive to implement (or re-implement) summer homework in schools because of the advantages of keeping a sharp mind and having more flexibility with the classes. However, we also must keep in mind that there should be certain restrictions on what the teachers can assign so that students can enjoy their break and not be overwhelmed or stressed by a sheer mass of work to complete. Generally, it is important to keep the minds of the students active in order to help them ease back into the school year easily.

920DC8B0BC4E,"The author supports the idea ""that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit dispite the dangers it presents,"" by telling us why we need to know, how it affects us, and how we will. This is something that has been well thought out by NASA and they always know what , why and how they are doing something. The author uses insite from NASA to support his idea. By doing this the author has shown us the importance of Venus.
First, the author gives us reasons why we need to know this. The author says, ""Often referred at Earth's ""twin,"" Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size, and occasionaly the closest in distance to,""(paragraph 2). This means, if Venus is that closely connected and similar to Earth then we can learn and adapt. They continue to find new discoveries in order to keep our civilization in tacked, and surviving.
Second, they explain how it affects us in our ordinary way of living. They answer the question of, If it is so dangerous why study more? They found that it could have been another Earth once. I know this because in the text it says, ""Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system...The planet suface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountins, and craters,""(paragraph 4). This means that by studying it no matter it's condition we can to learn about it and why Venus is in the condition it's in, maybe to even prevent it for Earth.
Lastly, the author supports their idea by telling us how we are going to uncover more information without loosing more. They explain that NASA has a theory that sending anything electronic to it will die off within hours, where as sending parts from the 1800's - 1940's won't. I know this becaues in the text it states that, ""NASA is studying other approches to studying Venus. For example, some simplified electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of Venus's surface and have lested about three weeks...These devices were first envisiond in the 1800's and played an important role in the 1940's during the war...but, these devices made calculations by using gears and levers without electricity...By comparison, systems that use mechanical pats can be made more resistant to pressure, heat, and other forces""(paragraph 7). This means that hypothetically NASA could send older tech and find a way to uncover more information.
Therefore, the author supports his idea, ""that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents,"" by giving us multiple reasons why we need the knowlage, how it affects us and how we will accomplish that. First, by telling us that Venus is like our twin planet and learning what happened we could adapt. Secondly, by showing us that we are can prevent our own downfall.

1A23AD385E6D,"Man kind has always invisioned a magical future. A future that includes time travel, flying, and driverless cars. The basis for a plethora of T.V. shows and movies has been based on these very ideas. What if one idea of this imagined future was closer than thought possible? Driverless cars are no longer an idea for the future. Driverless cars have become an idea of the present. In paragraph 2, it states that since 2009, Google has had cars developed that can drive themselves under certain conditions. Driverless cars may face some difficulties, but the pros do outway the cons. I believe that driverless cars should be made because they allow safe multitasking for the driver, give safer conditions while driving, and set the bar higher for future technological goals.
The cars deemed as the future allow endless possiblities for productiveness with the driver. The self driving cars let the driver catch up on paperwork, or let them make an important call. The cars could also just be nice for a relaxation time. This wouldn't be considered a safety hazard because manufacturers working on this driverless car are involving notifications for when the driver is needed. Dr. Werner Huber, a BMW project manager, states how they would deal with difficulties involving this in paragraph 8. BMW is working on making driving interesting, so that the driver wouldn't just get bored as the car drives itself. Some manufacturers are working on bringing in display boards or some type of information system to make it interesting. But when the driver is needed in tough conditions, the displays are turned off and the driver is notified when needed. Every concern is listed with a solution in paragraph 8.
The car overall becomes safer, rather than just the action of multitasking. With regular cars, the driver has to keep eye for danger themselves. With the driverless car, it is involved that the car informs the driver when they are needed or if a rough situation is ahead. The driver would be notified by some type of sensor. The sensors have been around since as early as the 1980s, as stated by paragraph 5. The sensors in the car can cause brakes to be applied and can reduce power from the engine. The car would have a greater response and greater control than a human driver ever could. Paragraph 5 tells about the sensors and tells about how improvements for sensors are still underway to this day. In paragraph 7, it states that a driver can take control also, and will be needed in tough situations. Drivers can still have a sense of control over their car.
Driverless cars also inspire others to shoot for high goals in the technological field. Every technological advance has been inspired by some other tehcnological discovery. Just recently, a new fad had come along called hover boards. But these hover boards weren't the ones seen in the Back to the Future franchise, these hoverboards were inspired by them, but didn't exactly hover. Still, the creators of this type of hover board were inspired from a different technological idea. Great strides in technology or ideas for technology make us want to move further. In paragraph 6, Sebastian Thrun, the founder of the Google car project, stated, ""There was no way, before 2000, to make something interesting. The sensors weren't there, the computers weren't there, and the mapping wasn't there. Radar was a device on a hilltop that cost two hundred million dollars. It wasn't something you could buy at Radio Shack."" His basic idea, was that as time went on and technology got intensely better, so did the technological ideas. These self driving cars could inspire even more magnificent ideas for the future.
In conclusion, these cars not only let the driver mutlitask safely, they just in general make driving safer. These cars could inspire the greatest invention in history. Technology is based off of other technology. The pros for self driving cars outway the cons for a plethora of reasons. Driverless cars are closer than one thinks, and are safer than one thinks. In paragraph 10, it states that Tesla has a release date for 2016 for the driverless car and Nissan plans to have cars that are driverless by 2020.

94B72A7C1E6B,"Dear State Senator,
Ever since our founding fathers established in the constitution that the president and vice president votes were determined by electoral college, the founding fathers made a good decision. Electoral College is a process where electors gather for a meeting and count the electoral votes to determine the new president and vice president. The United States should keep Electoral College to determine the president and vice president rather than a popular vote because Electoral College avoids run-off elections, and Electoral College is more fair than a popular vote.
To start off, Electoral College should continue to determine the president and vice president voting rather than popular votes because electoral college avoids run-off elections. If somebody was running for either president or vice president and they recieved thirty percent in popular votes, nobody would know if the person with thirty percent popular vote would win the election. Electoral College prevents confusion by producing a clear winner. For example, in source 3, the text reads ""Richard Nixon in 1968 and Bill Clinton in 1992 had only forty-three percent of popular votes but both had three-hundred and plus electoral votes which made them win the election"". The president and vice president make sure our country is running well and that we as a country have no problems. If we were to determine our president and vice president by a popular vote, whoever could kiss up more to the voters would win the election even if the person running doesn't meet up to the qualifacations of the person they are running against. Avoiding a run-off election is very important because no canidate recieves a majority of the votes cast. Also, if a popular vote was how the president and vice president were decided, not as much people would pay attention to voting because voters have less incentive to pay attention to the campaign of the people running for president and vice president.
Furthermore, Electoral College should continue to determine the president and vice president voting rather than a popular vote because Electoral College is more fair than a popular vote. In 2008 when Barack Obama won his election to become the 44th president of the United States, he didn't win by being the popular canadite, Obama won by his passion to make this country better than it already is. For example, in source 1, the text reads ""The electoral college consists of 538 electors. A majority of 270 electorial votes is required to elect the president"". That way of electing the president is more fair than a popular vote because you need 270 electors to say yes to make you president rather than people making you president by if your popular or not. Electoral College is what keeps our elections fair. There is no other way to elect somebody president becuase no other method will be this successful than Electoral College. After all, Electoral College has been the way to elect the president since the constitution was created. Popular Voting is a bad method if were used to determine the president and vice president because somebody who is running for president can manipulate people to think he or she is a good canidate for president when they really aren't.
To conclude, Electoral College should continue to decide the president rather than popular votes becuase Electoral College avoids run-off elections, and Electoral College is more fair than popular votes. Why should we change the way we elect president if this method has been working for over 200 years? Electoral College should continue to decide the presidency for years to come because it works so well. That's why Electoral College will stay as the way to elect the president.

Why would you ever think to jump in the first place?! You would have died!"" ""I guess you're right,"" they say. ""I should have thought about that."" They walk towards me, thank me for saving them, and walk away. Multiple opinions on a matter like this are so important because you could save a life. I say that seeking multiple opinions can help someone make a better choice because multiple views are good, it gives them more outcomes to think about, and it can keep them safe.
First off, multiple views on a matter are extremely important. They can help someone look at their issue a different way. It helps them see their problem in a different light which helps them solve it quicker. It can help their overall mood if you decide to help them. They'll know that someone cares about them and wants to help them in any way they can.
Second of all, multiple views gives them more outcomes to think about. Every action has an outcome, good and bad. Multiple views can help open their eyes to these outcomes. If they didn't think of a certain outcome that would be the worst one, then another opinion is crucial. They could make a really bad mistake if they don't think of a certain outcome on their problem.
Finally, multiple views on a matter can keep someone safe. If the person is trying to decide whether or not to do something stupid that could get them in trouble and they ask for an opinion, then you can keep them safe. Telling them to not do the stupid thing, might just save their life if they could've been hurt. Keeping someone out of trouble is also great. Whatever they were going to do could have got on their permanent record and hurt their chances of getting into the college or job that they want.
In conclusion, multiple views are very important in life. They could save someone from hurting themself and getting into deep deep trouble. It can help with stress of an important decision. It helps a person think about what could happen if they decide to do a certain thing. I conclude that multiple opinions can help someone make a better choice because multiple views on a matter help greatly, it gives them more outcomes to think about, and it can keep them alive and out of trouble.",,435,Seeking multiple opinions,Independent,"When people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person.

The third reason i agree with kids doing extra activities is. That its more healthy for the kids mentally and physically because. When they are around people doing positive things on a daily.

Advice is something you seek, and search you can ask advice on anything it can be advice for you hair, advice for you dog, doctor advice you can partially ask advice on anything. When people are searching for advice they usually ask more than one person, I think thats best, because you can see from different points of views. I think only taking one persons advice may not help you find a solution or a make a good a choice, another positive thing about asking advice is you can also learn something new or meet someone new.
Asking multiple people is better than asking one person for advice, because only asking one person may not get you the advice that is best needed. Asking multiple people for advice is something that can help you find a quicker solution. There are many positive sides when asking people for advice, like having different points of views that can give you tons of ideas and information for the advice that you are looking for. When you are gathering all these opinions you can discover new information and the advice you are looking for.
There are many positive sides when asking multiple for people advice. When you ask people for advice it could be a stranger, a family member, a friend.

CA290993DFBA,"Many students and teachers think that taking online classes are bad for the students and the school. The reason is that the students might not take any notes on what the teacher is saying. The other reason is that students will often get distracted from the lecture the teacher is giving to them. Students cannot be benefited of taking online classes because students might not take notes and that the students might not pay attention to the teacher.
Students might not take notes while being on a class that is online. For example, at school, students take notes because they are being watched by the teacher, so why would they do it if they are not being watched by the teacher; the students would not care about the notes. If the teacher is on the screen, but cannot see if the student is taking notes; most likely there are not because the students won't worry that the teacher could check them. Students should take notes when they get information about a topic, so that topic could stay in the mind of the student if they write it and they also try understand the topic from the notes. Teacher's won't even know there students are taking notes because it's online they cannot see them. also the students might not be paying attention.
The students might not pay any attention to the lecture the teacher is giving to them. For example, when a student looks around the classroom, but not at the teacher, they will miss valuable information that is needed, so it's like the same when it comes to online classes; information will be missed by the students. Missing information when distracted is terrible because students might miss out on what is going on in the class, might miss on something on they have to do, and miss on how to do there work. Students should pay attention; no one likes to miss any key information; therefore, students need to look at the teacher to get more information as needed to do an assignment. When students don't take notes, they will not only miss out on some key information, but might panic on how to do a problem on the assignment they were given.
The students cannot benefit from taking online classes because the students might not write valuable information in there notes and they might not pay attention to lecture that teacher is giving to them. The students won't take any notes because no one is watching them take the notes as the teacher goes on lecturing. The students could miss valuable information because they are not paying attention to the teacher, and the students might miss on how to do something in a assignment. From not taking notes to note paying attention is the reason why there cannot be students taking online classes because teachers might not know what the students are doing and students might not even care about all of this.",,491,Distance learning,Independent,Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing.

1CCC679F54A2,I think that the policy shouldn't be changed. Sometimes students have there ups and downs depending on what they're learning about in class. If they have a grade C average then an adult should talk to them and help them find out what it is they're having a hard time on. Whether it's tests or quiz's or maybe even homework. If they are having a hard time with tests and quiz's find a good way for them to study. If it's getting confused on homework or not getting it done to get help before going home and plan their time to do the hard homework first and the easy last because you would have all the time you need to do the hard and then the time left over for the easy. Also they could go to their teachers and maybe stay after school for extra help. If there's a test or quiz coming up then stay after so they can help to make sure they have everything they need to study. During study hall students could go study in the hall or even make flash cards on facts or vocabulary.,,191,Grades for extracurricular activities,Independent,"Your principal is considering changing school policy so that students may not participate in sports or other activities unless they have at least a grade B average.

6A916423AA6A,"For one to grow one must know their own problems. This phrase is there to help realize that we as a student must take a stand of our own. Teachers are there for us to learn to grow and not to make all of our educational choices. There are certain decisions that we must take in order for it to work. Therefore, I believe students should be able to choose their own summer assignment in order to encourage students to participate in the assignment as well as help them grow.
Students would be more willing to participate in these summer assignment if they had the freedom to choose what they will be learning about. One example of that would be when I get my summer assignment that's written by a teacher it doesn't really help me get in the mood to do any learning. My goal was always to finish it when the time comes. Unfortunately this isn't only me, whenever I talk to my peers about these summer assignments they have almost the same response and some don't even do it at all. This indicates that these assignments are not getting students to be more enthusiastic about learning and some don't even care to participate.
Learning should encourage us to grow, not only in school but outside of school as well. There's a certain amount of support a teacher can provide to a student. When there are constant rules involved most students exactly follow those rules and forgets what the important part. This tells us students don't try to go beyond the guidelines and don't look for the bigger picture. Furthermore, following certain rules doesn't make us really learn; it's just there for us to not go below standards. Most of the time students are required to follow guidelines and not really think outside the box. We live in a society where is guidelines everywhere; these guidelines aren't really getting the students to be creative rather it's preventing their creativity to flow.
Some might argue that students might be choosing easy assignments for themselves that isn't challenging enough. That might be the case for some students, but even then they are still learning. The whole point of summer assignments is for them to learn. Even if they are trying to take the easy way out they will find them learning more then what is necessary. Rules will be applied by themselves when they will start assigning themselves and will be learning about it.
In conclusion; yes, there might be some loophole and some risk that we are all taking will be taken, but if school don't take the chances we will not have the space we need to grow. When it's the students themselves that designed the assignment they know they are responsible as to how to do that assignment. Not only is it encouraging them to be better students but also helping them learn to take responsibility and be encouraged to learn.",,487,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

F4072681B524,"A Seagoing Cowboy is a cowboy who travels overseas to a different country and take animals/supplies there that they are in need of. This job takes a lot of work. You have to watch all the animals every hour, clean their stalls, and feed them. This job does take a lot of work, but it is a unique experience one will never forget. You get to Help other countries in need after the war, see amazing countries and sights , and have fun with new friends you get to meet while traveling. It is a great experience.
After World War ll, several countries were left in destruction. This meant that someone needed to help fast, and get the people food, animals, and other supplies that were needed. 44 nations came together as UNRRA, also known as the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration, and hired ""Seagoing Cowboys"", like myself. We help deliver horses, young cows, and mules to the countries in need. It feels so great to help other people, and I will never forget all the smiling faces I saw when I arrived with their animals. It is a wonderful sight.
When you visit several countries, you never realize how wonderful and amazing they can look, even after a war! Places like Europe, China, Greece, Italy, and the list countinues. After we deliver the animals, we get to have a little bit a of fun before we go back, so we get to go to tourist attractions, and popular cities in the country. I was able to take a gondola ride in Venice, Italy, where the streets are made up of water. I also got to see the Acropolis in Greece. Those trips were pretty special! There are so many great things to see and do in every country, so no matter where you go, you will have a great adventure exploring the cities, and having a ton of fun!
While being on a boat, traveling to a country, you have to watch over the animals every so often. That is not the case on your way back, when the animals are gone from your boat at the country you just visited. Since the animals are gone, you can do whatever you want to do to make the time pass. We do things such as table-tennis, volleyball, boxing, fencing, baseball, reading, and more fun games. You really can't play things games without people to play with, which is a great way to make friends. Since you probably don't know the people working with you, you can get to know them, and make new friends. This is one of my favorite parts of being a Seagoing Cowboy, because without becoming friends with your co-workers, you job isn't fun. It's a great way to open up, and whats more fun then going over-seas with your friends and having a good time?
In conclusion, becoming a Seagoing Cowboy is an amazing experience because you get to help others in need after the war, see amazing places/sights, and have tons of fun while making new friends with the people you work with. You will have so many great memories of your time at every country.

47F7E409D879,"Did you know 4/5 people when asking for advice they ask more than 1 person to get different opinions? When we ask people for advice we tend to seek for more opinions to help us make a better choice. I will talk about why this could benefit your overall decision. For example, seeking for more opinions from a diverse selection of people could benefit you because it would give you a advantage to see pros and cons more and really do research on you major or simplistic decision, Also asking for more than one opinion would help because it would guide you to see who will support you through changes and who will not agree with them, Finally you would also have a better idea who to ask advice for for upcoming or later on major or tiny life decisions. In conclusion those reasons listed are beneficial when asking multiple people for advice.
One way that asking for more diverse opinions is beneficial is because it will show you a vast majority in pros and cons things that may be reasons for the decision but also showing the not so great differences. For example, when someone comes up to you and ask what they should do today you think of everyday activities but you think in depth of why they should do that activity for it may be exciting but draining in energy mapping in your head pros and cons. Another example on why asking more opinions from a large group is important in seeing pros and cons is because, you can envision the similarities in different situations like seeing pros and cons you also see similarities. Lastly, A reason why asking for more than one opinion is important is because you can compare unalike decisions and compare them to one another helping you to get a wider verity in decisions helping you to make the right one.
Secondly, Another reason on why it is very beneficial asking multiple people for advice is important is because it will indicate you the people who will support you through changes in appearance, attitude, etc. Initially going through changes can be hard even if they don't change a lot about you can still leave you venerable to a lot of self damage like insecurities. By asking people you will start to notice a lot or a little majority of people who asked my think of you differently as a person. Secondly, you start to see the people who would not support leaving you will the people who will stick by you through and decisions in life. Also you notice a lot of backlash from people and it may be harsh or may build you stronger but always your are left with the people who are unconditionally supportive of you. In conclusion, by asking a larger verity of people it would benefit you by making decisions is useful because it would guide you where your supportive resources are.
Lastly, A reason on why you should use the method of asking asking a large verity of people when it comes to advice is you would understand more who to turn to on decision making. An example of this all around the world written in books, religious books, themes in stories, and you may have been told this. But when you ask for an opinion on something a wise person would have told you the right thing because wise people have been through the same thing at a different point in life. By getting results by different people on opinions on what you should do may open your eyes and show you people that are open minded that have came across a struggle like you may be trying to overcome. For example, people seem to turn to god by preying. A lot of people may turn to nature to seek a opinion on a path to become happy or any emotion you want to feel. But also I have seen people turn to loved ones and old traditions. In conclusion, by seeking more then one opinion and basing your results on more opinion are helpful because they help you see who you can turn to for more advice in different period point struggles.
In conclusion, when we ask for advice we seek more than one opinion from different people. It may benefit in time because it would give you a advantage to see pros and cons more and really do research on you major or simplistic decision, Also asking for more than one opinion would help because it would guide you to see who will support you through changes and who will not agree with them, Finally you would also have a better idea who to ask advice for for upcoming or later on major or tiny life decisions.

For must students they dont really look forward to doing project but if you give them a chance to do it on their own they might get into it.
First, designing your own project as a student it give you something to look forward to in the summer. Most students stay home for the summer with nothing to do. So, if you give a student a chance to design their own project for the summer it give them a chance to do something. Students would be able to explore more if they design their own project. With exploring their not sitting at home eating a bag of chips watching Netflix they are actually being active and moving around.
Although, most teachers believes it is a bad idea for students to design they own project because they believe they will not take it seriously. It actually the opposite half of any schools in the world may have students who is into art or into designing things. It would give students a chance to express their own creativity. Most students love the thought of making their own projects. They would learn more and discover more with making their own project and designing it the way that they prefer it to be.
Also, letting students design their won project would let them discover more. With discovering they are able to learn more and see thing that they never seen. Example say your in are and you art teacher give you a summer project. And that project is to take a pic of what you think expresses people in the world. You would have to get out your comfort zone to do that like going outside. it would also be a better way to communicate with people to gain information for your project.
Furthermore, teachers would want for their students to take on that responsibility to prove that they are ready to work for their grade. It would also give kids the feeling that they are capable of taking on the responsibility of proving to there teacher next year that they are responsible. Kids have a hard time showing that they can do stuff in a responsible manner. So, giving kids that responsibility of designing their project it's letting them know that it is their job to make sure they have everything they need for the project and knowing that they are capable of doing that. It would teach kids that even though it is summer your still able to learn and have responsibilities.
With that being said it is a good idea for kids to be able to design their own summer project because they are still learning. And they would have something to look forward to when summer comes.

One reason to join is that you help animals travel from one place to another. You will be helping European and Asian countries recover their animals, food supplies, and more. You will visit many countries helping them recover and saving animal's lives as well. And I was happy with what I was doing.
As I said in the first paragraph you will travel to many places. You will able to have some free time when you are at a country because I got to travel to Crete and see an excavated castle and also marveled at the Panama Canal. It was fun to travel all over the world to help people.
On this trip I learned my way around a few countries and how it feels to help people just because you want to. You might get hurt along the way but at least you are doing what is right. By doing this I was drafted into the military when I turned 18 and when they learned that I was on a cattle-boat trip, they told me to just keep doing that for my service. So as I did I saw how much distruction wars could do. By that I became aware of what people need.

903F83DFF8BE,"The usage of summer projects is an undermined technique that schools implement to educate their students. It incorporates an application process to subjects and topics learned in class, to real-world settings. For many students, this process of application is enough to instill certain topics into one's memory. Thus, to ensure that students receive a meaningful and valuable summer project, teachers should have the ability to design and construct these assignments. The reason for this is that teachers effectively utilize summer projects to introduce new topics, have a better understanding of the curriculum and subject, and can emphasize certain topics that are vital for students to understand.
Many students might find the first quarter of a new school year a bit cumbersome; however, with the aid of a teacher-designed summer project, students can establish a better academic foundation before entering the school year. This process of learning a topic before it is discussed or taught in school has may psychological and academic benefits. In the book
Talent , the author describes the educational process as a learning curve; for our purposes, only the first and second stages in this process are critical to understanding the effects of teacher-designed projects. The first stage of this curve is the data gathering process, where a person begins to input and understand the information into one's conscious thinking: this is typically the longest and most difficult phase in the learning curve. The second stage of this curve is the application process, where people now have the ability to translate their newly acquired knowledge to a real scenario. A majority of students might not know this, but the first step in this learning curve is what students experience in a classroom, which is why students might not fully grasp a topic the first time it is taught. Connecting back to the prompt, the teacher-designed projects act as a catalyst to this learning process, where students aren't starting at the bottom of the data gathering curve, rather, they have already progressed through the first stage of learning. With a general foundation, students have a better ability to digest the information given during class. Moreover, this state of being a faster learner has many psychological benefits; the most important one being a confidence and morale boost. Essentially, feeling that you have this supernatural ability to easily absorb information boosts your confidence in the class, which, in return, increases your productivity in that class. A teacher-constructed summer project ensures that students can begin this learning strategy by introducing new topics that will be discussed during the following year.
An important notion that should be addressed is that most students do not have a developed understanding of a subject's curriculum. However, teachers are trained and knowledgeable about the course curriculum, and have the ability to tailor the summer projects to the academic standards the students are expected to uphold. The issue with having a student-designed summer project is that the students might not have the ability to distinguish between topics that are less or more important. On the contrary, teachers posses the ability to guide their students to topics that are beneficial for them to understand. In other words, by allowing teachers to design the summer projects, students gain a better understanding to where the teacher is directing them throughout the new academic year.
Despite the evidence listed, some students are still not satisfied with having a teacher-designed project during the summer. The major claims they use to corroborate their defense is that the projects designed by teachers are not interesting enough or they do not necessarily appeal to the students' interest. First, it should be noted that these are very sensible and valid reasons to why someone might not want a teacher-designed summer project. In fact, when people to do not enjoy a certain task, they loose motivation to complete it. However, it should also be noted that teachers consider this claim when designing their projects. Personally, I have always received flexible summer assignments from my teachers, where they have allowed students to add information and topics they find interesting to the overarching theme of the project. Teacher-designed summer projects have the ability to make space for topics that students might find interesting, while also directing them towards important topics and ideas that will be addressed in the following year.
Like any logical argument, the good and harm of both teacher-designed and student-designed projects should be juxtaposed. For teacher-designed projects, there benefits include a smooth transition into new topics, outlining important topics and ideas, and a tailored focus to the curriculum. The only major disadvantage to teacher-designed summer projects are that it might not be interesting for the student, which is not always the case. On the contrary, student-designed projects have the benefit of being interesting to the desires of the students themselves. However, student-designed summer projects have many disadvantages including a less reliable topic focus and a meandering project objective. Furthermore, it is evident that teacher-designed summer projects are more beneficial to the students than student-designed summer projects are.

I say no to community service but we do need some one to clean it up. I think that is should be volunteer work for people who need extra credit. I think that it would be bad to do that because there is home work to do and if you don't get it done you get in trouble and get a bad grade.

0F1830D67AF9,"How can students benefit from taking online classes? I believe that taking online classes or video conferencing with a teacher is more benefiting than taking classes at school. Teachers at school need to teach a whole class instead of just one student, because of this, online classes are a more of a one-on-one way of teaching. A one on one way of teaching helps the student focus only on the subject and the teacher, this can improve a student's skills. Students would definelty benefit from taking online classes instead of physical classes.
Taking classes from home is much more efficient than taking classes at a school. Online classes are much faster than classes taken at school, students can start with online classes anytime of the day, while classes taken at school would make students have to wake up early and and drive all the way to school. But with online classes students are able to quickly go on the computer and start learning. Students benefit from this because they are able to move with the lesson at their own pace. The more the student knows about a subject, the faster they are able to master with the lesson and move on with their day. As a student I know that sometimes classes taken at school can move a little slow and I know that other students feel the same way. Classes taken online helps student who feel like they are going slow in school by making them move on their own pace.
Stress can have a major effect on a students' mentality. The more stress a student builds the harder it is for them to be able to focus, taking online classes could help students with stress levels. For example, students find it hard to wake up early and go to school for seven hours a day but online classes provides aid with that. I know that waking up early is a could get repetitive, online classes usually don't require you to wake up early and start learning. Something as simple as getting the sleep you need could positively have an effect on students' stress levels. This allows online students to be able to focus on the teacher and the lesson.
Taking online classes helps students focus more on college. The time spent on online classes is significantly smaller than time spent on school. Students taking online classes are able to focus more on college applications or entrance exams. If student are able to focus more on college then it allows them be able to figure out what major they want to take and what university they want to attend. Seniors or juniors in school might find this a much better option because students are able to focus more on college instead of school work and homework.
On the other hand, building a connection with a teacher helps with teacher recommendations for college. But online classes can improve a students writing and communication skills. Having a one-on-one conversation with a video conference teacher can improve a students skills by just having a teacher to ask questions to. Going to classes at a school can also help student with such skills. But online classes can bring out the best in a student due to the one-on-one conversations.
Students would definelty benefit from taking online classes instead of physical classes. Online classes is not for everyone but I believe that taking them can benefit the student in many ways. Students can benefit from online classes by reducing stress levels, being able to become more efficient with school work, and being able to focus more on college. In my conclusion taking online classes or video chatting with a teacher is much better than going to school. This is why I conclude that students can improve their skills from taking online classes.",,629,Distance learning,Independent,Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing.

BE94CF981273,"My oppinon on driverless cars is that i dont like it. It just makes it more easier for people to not do anything. Even drunk drivers wont get pulled over anymore because they would have that to drive them. Cops cant do their job of pulling people over anymore after they do this so cops might loose jobs cause they would have driverless cars. No one would be buyong cars anymore because of it fuel would be used half as much for it. Televison and movies have been fasinated by cars that could drive their selves. Under specific occasions google has had cars driving since 2009. Their cars have been driven more half a million miles without a crash. They arnt truely driverless yet they alert the driver when they need to take over the wheel when traffic is really badd or going through road work. Futurists believed the key to developing self-driving cars someday isnt just the smart cars its smarter roads. How much smarter did the cars ned to be? in the 1980s automakers used speed sensors at the wheels in the creation of antilock brakes. within a decade those sensors had become more advanced to detect and respond to the danger of out of control skids or rollovers. The information from the sensors could make the car apply brakes. In 2013 BMW anounced the development of traffic Jam Assitant the car can handle driving functions at speeds up to 25 mph,But speacial touch sensors make sure the driver keeps hold of the wheel. They can steer in traffic and other road construction. This necisates the car being ready to quickly get the drivers attention whenever a problem has occured. Why would anyone want to drive driverless cars,because its easy on you and you dont do anything anymore since they did this. Displays can be turned off instantly when the driver needs to take over something not to the drivers trying to text with a cell phone. In this way the In car system is actually a safety feature, and saftey is a big concern. Most driving laws focus on getting the passengers,drivers,and pedestrians safe and let know the law makers that in these cars are safety.

457BDFC312A8,"Based on the four sources, car usage should be limited in some way. Smog in Paris and other cities have governments placing restrictions on when and where citizens are allowed to drive their vehicles. A German has a certain city that bans cars and other places, such as Bogota, Columbia, have ""car free days"". These give citizens of nearly every country a thought of why drive when i can walk. Some expert sociologists even believe we are out of our peak car buying years and into one that is less vehicle extemsive and more stress free and relaxed.
In Paris, smog forced many citizens to stop their driving all together. The pollution was so overwhelming that it rivaled Beijing, one of the most polluted cities on the world (Duffer). Car emissions put Paris' parculate matter scale off of the charts. Pullotion is a serious issue, especially when it affects millions, such as those in Paris. Other places have gone so extreme to ban cars in certain cities. Vauban, Germany have given up their cars to live there. Most citizens agree with Heidrum Walter's words of ""being much happier [without a car]"" (Rosenthal). Her understanding of a life without a vehicle is a crutial turning point in todays society and even limit air pollutions, not unlike those of Paris or Bejing.
Experts say that the United States ""love affair for vehicles seems to be cooling"" (Rosenthal). Many Young citizens aged under 25 seem to have no desire for a drivers license. As of April 13, 2013, the number of miles driven per person were down 9 percent from the peak of car buying sales. We are experiencing a long term cultural shift (Rosenthal) and will likely see dramtic changes in the future. Major cities , like New York and San Fransico, have transit and subway systems put into place for this very reason. More car pooling and public transit seems to be the way to go.
Not only does driving less reduce air pollution, but it decreases unwanted stress in many different situations. Many cities and countries around the globe agree with this and are all headed that direction. Vehicles seem do be on the downhill portion pf their lifespan. Take the initiative and protect our world. Less driving and less pollution reduces stress in even the best of us.

2AF2200F56AC,"When seeking advice, many people refer to a variety of people with different perspectives. There are three reasons that would explain people's tendency to ask for multiple opinions before making a final decision. When we seek advice from more than one person, we do so because it shows us different viewpoints on a matter, provides us with more clarity of what we aspire to achieve, and we know that different people will give better advice in certain situations than in others and we shouldn't rely too heavily on any one person for a matter that they might not be familiar with.
First of all, the fact that no two people will provide the same opinion is inevitable given the fact that everyone comes from a different background and is taught to handle things differently than someone else. If one asked someone's advice and did not take the time to seek a variety of different opinions, they could not be certain that the advice they are being provided is right for their particular situation or that it is relevant. For example, if one broke their mother's favorite lamp and asked their best friend what they should tell their mother, that person is making the mistake of relying on only one person to give them advice in a matter that could need more than one opinion, like their sibling's or their father's. Based on that example, someone could be given bad advice by one person therefore risking making a wrong decision, but with more than one opinion, that person can increase their chances of making the decision that is right for them. Of course, there is also the matter of simplicity and liking. In these cases, asking advice from one person is not likely to provide us with the simple answer we're looking for. Furthermore, anyone seeking advice has a higher chance of being satisfied with their options and their outcome if they ask for more than one person's guidance.
Next, asking for multiple people's advice gives a clearer perspective on what one should aim to achieve or do. If someone asked their parents where they should go to college, they are likely to be given a biased opinion based on which school their parents attended or where they want to see their child go to school, but if this person asks their teachers for an unbiased opinion, they can get a clearer idea of what they could achieve. Advice from only one person could result in the person seeking it being confused or making the wrong choice because of having only listened to one person when others could provide simpler advice. In brief, the main issue with asking the opinion of one person is that the person in need of counsel would end up misunderstanding the person who provided advice or doing something that one told them to do, not to help them succeed, but for the other's own pleasure. So, to make the right decision, it is wise to ask more than one person for advice.
Lastly, seeking the opinion of someone trusted or believable in most cases is not always likely to provide the right advice in other circumstances. As in most cases, some people are better at some things than others. For this reason, relying on one person for everything comes with disadvantages. For example, one person could be amazing in English, but terrible in math. The same thing applies to seeking advice or opinion, like if one always asked their religion teacher what they should do because they trust them to give them moral advice, but then one day they came to ask them how they should study for their upcoming science test, and the religion teacher couldn't provide good advice because they studied to become a religion teacher, not a science teacher. For these reasons, one must be able to determine how the different people they know could help them (or not help them) based on their situation.
In conclusion, one has the best chance of reaching their goal if they refer to more than one person when seeking advice. The reasons that support this are that we can access a wider variety of opinions and viewpoints, can clearly understand what it is we are trying to obtain or achieve, and we can ask different people with different strong suits for the advice we need according to our circumstances.",,728,Seeking multiple opinions,Independent,"When people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person.

75C4CC1ABECF,"Student Extracurricular Activities
One thing that connects students and schools all over the nation are the wide range of fun and interesting after school programs, known as extracurriculars. Schools offer lots of extracurricular programs that interest students hobbies and talents from sports, such as football or basketball, to clubs that help out and benefit the school, such as school council or leadership and unique clubs that students share a common interest in such as Harry Potter club or running club. Although extracurricular activities are just as beneficial to a students educational experience as in-school classes, students should be able to have the option to choose whether they would wish to participate in the activities. Forcing a student to participate and serve in these extracurricular programs will deter the quality of the programs, decrease student welfare, and make students even busier than they already are, leaving them no time for other activities outside of school.
If the option to opt out of joining an extra program is stripped from students, the qualities of the clubs can and will decrease. If a student chooses to participate in an extracurricular on their own time, the student will be excited and enthusiastic to engage in the program. Whereas if a student is forced to participate in a club or program, they will be the opposite, and likely will be put in a negative mindset where they believe that they are forced to be there. It's important for students to have the choice to participate to where students feel enthusiastic about the club and happy to be there.
Requiring students to join an extra activity at the end of the day will also create unhappiness among students. Students are already required to be at school and work for 7 hours a day and 35 hours a week. The extra activities at the end of the day can add on up to 4 hours of extra time to the already long school day, making it up to 50 hours per week. Some sports practices even go until 7:30 PM and also require students to meet on the weekends. Students are already exhausted and unhappy with the current school day, and forcing an extra 15 hours a week will have a devastating effect on the previously unhappy students.
Many students are involved in extracurricular activities that are not school sponsored and are run by an organization outside of school. If school forces the students to join an activity, it will take up more time. It will leave students with no time for their other not-school related activities, yet another forced school related thing taking time out of the day that isn't school. Forcing students to join a club will create the same effect homework has on students. They will form a hatred for clubs, just like many students have for homework, because it leaves them with less and less out of school time.
In conclusion, schools should not allow students to choose whether they would like to participate in extracurricular activities because it can decrease the quality of the clubs, create unhappiness among students, and cause students to be even more busy and leaving students unavailable for other non-school related activities. Giving students the freedom to be able to choose whether they would like to participate lets students have more power. Taking away that power and putting just another thing thats forced on to their plate will cause students even more stress and discomfort.

9550CC8FE928,"Asking for more gets you more. If you ask for advice than you need more than one mind . For example If you work together you can get what you seek for. Asking for advice has more wisdom in it, and the more information the better the advice. Without asking you can not get a lot of things done in life. There are so many ways to get what you want the more you put effort in the better the results will be.
To add on to get the best advice you need to work together and because of that you can get the wisest and smartest advice. Working together gets a lot of things accomplished you can learn a lot form each other and your group can fix your mistakes. Working together is more effect than working by your self, because some people have more wisdom or some people are smarter and all combine you can get the best advice. Seeking for advice from people is like reading books the more books you read the more knowledge you get. If you do not ask people or work together than you will be lost in life for example when you go some were new and if you are lost you can ask people were the directions are. Thats the same thing with asking others for advice.
Also one thing is that wisdom can make a lot of things better in life. It can help you with more than you wish for, another thing is that the more wisdom the better the results will be. Asking people for advice can give you a lot of wisdom and the more you ask the more your advice will be. Wisdom is a key in life just by saying a couple of words can give a lot of influences thats why its important to talk to others so the advice they give to you can be better than the one you made.
Another thing is without information you can not get simple things done in life, but with a lot of information than you can get a lot of things done in life. Talking to more than one person is better, the reason why is because you are seeking advice and you are also getting more information. With a lot of information the advice will become better because than the advice will have some knowledge in it. When you do something wrong and you can fix it and then you will learn from it which will get you information. Same thing with people all over the world they make mistakes and they fix it. So in conclusion the people who have done a lot of things in there lives are the smartest ones with the best advice to give out. One thing is that books and humans are similar. You can't know the information without opening the book or talking to the person, sometimes it might be good or it might be horrible, but the more you go through the more infromation/advices you will get.
To sum it all up talking to more than one person is better than doing it alone. The more people the more knowledge the more knowledge the more wisdom. Talking to more than one person is helpful when you are stuck on something you can ask others for help or when you are buying something you can ask others which one is the best choice and then you can learn from that person.

8EEB5226121C,"Dear Mr. Rubio,
My name is PROPER_NAME and I am a concerned youth.
The electoral college system is archane, confusing and disruptive to the constitutional democratic republic that is the United States of America. Voters are thrown off by this system and are often completely over-looked in an election. For a country that was built on the ideals of freedom and fair representation, using the electoral college system isn't right.
Firstly, canidates running for president need a majority of 270 the 538 electors to win an election. Thus, they focus more on winning swing states such as Ohio, rather than winning the approval of their constituents. This immediatly shows faults of the electoral college. What kind of government is running the world's super-power? One that ignores its people and bombs governments of other countries for doing the same thing? The electoral college takes away from the value of the vote- a right for which the United States of America was founded. The electoral college may have had good and just intentions, but isn't effective or fair now. Also, with the embarrassingly low voter turnout the USA has already, having a confusing, old-fashioned and unfair system of electing leaders will only decrease the amount of citizens that actually go to the polls. Studies like the one published September 1st, 2012 by the American Research Institute, have shown that the average American person doesn't know very much about their country and how it works. Those that do are a minority. So, why would the government that is supposed to be looking out for, protecting and listening to its citizens still use a system that only deters already ignorant people from participating in elections?
Secondly, the electoral college (in addition to putting down the voter) has been proven to be faulty. Like the 2000 election with George W. Bush, with Clinton in 1992 and Nixon in 1968- these men all had less of the popular vote, but were president. How? How did they become the Leader of the Free World- the Free World that gives everyone the right to vote for their representitives- without the popular vote? Without the blessing of their constituents? How were these men sworn in without the backing of true democracy?
The electoral college.
This system goes against every democratic ideal in the United States' foundation! And yet, it is still how president after preseident is put into the Oval Office- sometimes wrongly as explained above.
The electoral college is wrong. It just is. There are no valid arguements for it. It puts down the voter and, in a sense, makes them obsolete which, in addition to being extremely hypocritical, is just not right .
Mr. Rubio, I am a citizen of this great country. I don't break the law, I don't burn flags, I love my nation and I care deeply for my fellow Americans. You are a United States Senator. Shouldn't you feel the same way? Help to abolish the electoral college. There are only benefits for the corrupt, not for the citizens.
Mr. Rubio, help to abolish the electoral college if you believe in a strong America.

5459D1AEA59F,"There are lots of pros and cons when discussing teacher designed summer projects or student designed summer projects.
Some pros of teacher based summer projects would be, there's help whenever its needed, more motive to work harder since the teacher is pushing you.
On the other hand, the cons would be simply paying the teacher a lot of money to work with the student.
One could argue that the teacher would be willing to do it for free, however that is economically irrational we have to assume everyone is rational.
Although having a teacher based summer project would be very assisting to the students, the socially optimal route would be the student based summer project.
In today's society, there's lots of ""hand holding"" with students and they arent able to adjust to the real world lifestyle as easily as they could be.
Forcing students in the habit of being independent is beneficial because when these students have to go to college and get a real job later in life, they'll be familiar with the situation and they'll know how it feels so that way the amount of stress put on them is minimized.
Kids working student based will also help them not rely on getting help from a teacher all the time and they'll be able to learn material in class with less assistance.
These students will exit the project with more applicable skills that they will carry on for the rest of their lives.
In the aspect of economics, hypothetically if the program is teacher based, then these teachers will need to be compensated for their tutoring.
For every single student to have a teacher beside them would be a lot of money spent by the school.
The argument could be made that the teacher would do it for free, however that is unlikely since they're on summer vacation.
In the long run, the alternative of having the kids do these problems by themselves without teachers is the best route for them to develop in dependency and have the school save some money.
Detoxing and having time off is important for teachers too, not just students.
In the event that a student gets stuck on a question and doesnt know how to solve it, there are solutions.
The student can ask his/her parent to help them or, the teachers that are on summer vacation can make videos of how to solve the problems that are assigned on the project.
If one teacher makes one video that explains everything, then that saves everyone the time and money.
instead of every teacher being assigned to a student and have them work it out, one teacher can make a video that helps all without them even being there!
In conclusion, the student based project would be most beneficial to society in the aspect of economics and independence of the students.
While the students persevere and develop skills of independence, the teachers can enjoy their summer break free of distractions.
The summer assignments all students across America must complete are merely assignments to keep us ready for the school year, therefore teachers dont need to be involved in assignments that arent meant for students to accel in.
The students will return to the classroom far better off with the student based project as opposed to the teacher based project.

D5D31918A943,"The Dangers of Phones and Driving
The number of fatal crashes caused by cell phone distracted driving in 2017 was 434 (""Facts and Statistics: Distracted Driving""). The amount of fatal accidents from the use of cell phones while driving has only gotten worse through the years. Ever since cell phones have become more advanced and more popular, the danger has increased. It is hard enough to stay focused while driving but phones make that task 10 times as difficult. Even something as simple as changing the song or answering a text for a split second while driving can put yourself and others at risk.
Teens play a big part in all of this, being the most likely to use cell phones on the road. Teenagers are not as experienced drivers and think that driving is a task they can take with ease. Although driving might come easy for some, that does not give room to be distracted. I personally witness cell phones being used on the road daily. My mom and my dad both use talk-to-text while driving and my boyfriend holds his phone in one hand while driving with the other. My friend and I almost got into an accident the other day because she was using her phone. Nowadays society is far too attached to technology, especially phones. Not only are teens learning that using phones while driving is acceptable from their parents, they also think that breaking the law is nothing to stress.
In mosts states it is illegal to even have your cell phone in your hand let alone be using it or talking on the phone while driving. If the law is not enough to persuade people to stop using phones while driving, the dangers of killing people should. Close to five thousand people died due to cell phone related crashes in 2018 (Texting and Driving Statistics 2019, thezebra. com). Even if someone is not on the phone themselves, someone else on the road could be. When someone decides to use their phone while driving they are not only putting themselves at risk, they are endangering every other person on the road. If they look away from the road for even one second and become distracted, they could crash into another person. There could be children in the car that die from the crash, or a pregnant woman. Lives are constantly at stake while in the car, being distracted only makes things worse.
Cell phone use behind the wheel reduces the amount of brain activity associated with driving by 37 percent (Cell Phone use while driving statistics and texting and driving facts, teendriversource. org). Teenagers just starting to drive and adults already driving should take preventative measures to be more safe on the road. They could finish a call or text before they begin driving, leave the phone alone while stopped, and put the phone on silent or do not disturb when driving. Most phones now have a driving more that will mute notifications and send a text back to inform the person they are driving. Even if someone is not driving they can still help. If they call someone who happens to be driving, they can say they will call them back later at a better time.
Society as a whole can and should be better and form good habits by not using a cell phone while driving. Distracted driving is a serious topic and the deaths need to be decreased desperately. The safety of people's lives are nothing to take lightly. Even if someone does something as simple as changing the song or answering a text, that automatically puts them and everyone around them in danger. We all need to do the right thing by following the law and give up phones while driving.

D9C076040D83,"What do you think it would be like to tell others emotions with just a quick look? Well, with the Facial Action Coding System, FACS for short, you can. It quickly scans your face and tells your emotion. This shows being helpful for finding out friends emotions, showing the mindset in our classes and showing hidden feelings also leading to a glimp of mental illness. The real question now is, how will this be helpful in the classroom?
In the classroom, students show certains signs of how they feel. In paragraph 5, the text says "" ..you can probably tell how a friend is feeling simply by the look on her face."". Often when we are sad we frown or our eyes water, or when we are happy we smile but, just because we smile doesnt mean we are genuinely happy. The FACS has been classified the many different muscles in your face and has classified six basic emtions,as explain in paragraph 3. A quick look and we can understand if your happy, sad, or even bored.
While we are busy learning often times, we can zone out or we can be confused but not speak up about it. No worry, the FACS is here to help teachers understand how you feel. In paragraph 6 the author says "" A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored."". Later in the same paragraph it states "" Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor."". This shows the FACS has more of a use than just telling emotions, it can help you understand ways to make your classroom entertaining. It can also help you realize how fast certain students are working, or their mindset which they may keep hidden.
As humans, we often hide our true feelings. We may struggle opening up to others about how we feel out of fear of rejection or looking weak. Towards the end of paragraph 6, it says "" Most human communication in nonverbal, including emotional communication. So computers need to understand that,too."". The FACS is able to detect multiple different emotions. It can not only tell the basic happy,sad,or mad, it can tell confused, bored, or depressed all just by using muscles in your face. This can let us know how students really feel when they walk in. It can give them a glimps into what they may have going on with them mentally, giving more awareness in mental health. This can help save students.
The FACS can come as an important tool to both teachers and students. It can show students how to react to their friends feeling a certain way. It'll give teachers ideas as to how to make interesting yet, entertaining lessons for their students. Lastly, if can give us an idea of how the other around us truely feel and way to help them. The FACS can be very helpful for students now and caring for toward into life.",,492,Facial action coding system,Text dependent,"In the article ""Making Mona Lisa Smile,"" the author describes how a new technology called the Facial Action Coding System enables computers to identify human emotions.

4FD4CE18CCDF,"I think seeking multiple opinions would be better, because you can actually view multiple perspectives and then decide which one is the best. For example, you can make a list of pros and cons to see which one you like the most. Or, you can take a vote on what to do. You will also be able to listen better and be more supportive of other people. You will as well as compromise better with multiple people rather than one specific person.
For example, let's say someone wants a dog. He or she is going to have to listen to many people's opinions about having a dog. One person could say, ""Having a dog is a very big responsability. So don't get one unless you ready to take on the risks for it."" Another person could say, ""It's really easy to own a dog. All you have to do is feed it, wash it, play with it, take it out on a walk, and clean it's mess."" After he or she listens to both people, he or she makes a pros and cons list and decides which side has more and which one is the best.
Another example, someone wants to play a sport, but it can be too dangerous. One person says, ""Don't do it. It's not worth risking your life and slowly dying in the hospital."" Another person says, ""Do it! It's not only fun, but it can also help you be more cooperative and you are being active."" Again, someone can agree with both answers, so that's why people need to compromise, to both get what they want.
One example of a compromise, you want to watch the new movie
Billy Madison.
However, you are underage. It can work out if you ask someone if he or she has ever seen the movie. If yes, ask he or she if there's any scene okay for your age. If yes, you will probably be able to only watch the movie once. Otherwise, you are goind to have to wait until you're at the age.
Another example is, you want to stay up. However, your parents never let you. You can talk to them and see if they can let you stay up for at leat just one night. If you're lucky, you will probably be able to stay up during the weekend. But never on a school night.
That's why I think seeking advice from multiple people is a better choice. Not only it will help you more, but, it can also teach you how to deal with real-life situations. Also compromising and making a list will help you with that. It will as well teach people how to listen better and be more supportive of others. Then you decide whether if it's right or wrong.

C1D354F07E03,"It's the Tuesday after the first Monday in November, can you guess what it is? It's election day! Every four years, nearly every person in America will vote to choose a new President, or do we? Yes, we live in a democracy where we can vote for who runs out country, but do we really make the descision? The Electoral College is a phase where electors, of a candidate running for president, come together and decide for who is the President, Vice President, and include the countings of the electoral votes from Congress. The person who runs for President has a select group of people known as electors, which are typically chosen by that person's political party. Is this who we really vote for, and is it fair? This should be eradicated.
By using the Electoral College, we don't directly vote for our own President. We vote for his/her's electors. It's them who really choose who leads us, not us! In ""What Is the Electoral College?"" it states that ""...when you vote for your candidate you are actually voting for your candidate's electors,"" meaning we aren't actually voting for a President, just his/her's electors. It could literally be anybody, not holding public office. This is not a direct way for us to vote for who makes the descisions around here. In ""Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong,"" it claims that ""...over 60 percent of voters would prefer a direct election to the kind we have now."" Sixty percent said that! That's incredible.
The electoral votes are just unequal. The states that are bigger would obviously get more electoral votes than, let's say Maryland. California would have more votes than Maryland because it i smuch bigger. The House of Represenatives has its own unique way of handling that, and they're going just fine, we don't need another. It just isn't reliable, the numbers and percentages would be all boggled up. This country is based on equality and liberty. and there is no equality in this.
The Electoral College is much too confusing. Sometimes voters could be discombabulated about who it is they are voting for. Sometimes voters can't control who the electors vote for. This is both confusing and frustrating for anyone who thinks they voted for someone great, but the electors change that. In ""Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong,"" it says that ""Under the electoral college system, voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president."", meaning that we don't choose for ourselves, they do.
Some could say ""its anarchy"", or that ""its not democratic"", which could be true. In ""In defense of the Electoral College...,"" it states that ""But each party selects a slate of electors trusted to vote for the party's nominee...however it is entirely possible that the winner of the electoral vote will not win the national popular vote."" This means that even though you vote for a person, it's probably a fifty-fifty chance your person will win. It does also help release the stress of worrying about a run-off election, and avoids the problem where no candidate receives a majority of votes that has been cast.
The Electoral College is not the best way to vote in our beautiful country. It can be decieving and confusing. Though it may have one or two advantages, the list of things that can go wrong with it are of plenty. It is unfair, and could turn nasty. It should be abolished. Make America more equal.

Making the grade to a C grade average will help the school and the students. It will let more students go on the team, that makes the school look good. The students will tire hard to have a C grade average. Besides a C is not bad, its an aright grade if you ask me.
Say a students is a good all rounded student and he's on the school soccer team with a 80%. He missing a week of school because he's sick and gets a C.

Students at out school have been informed you would like to change the school policy of participation of playing sports while maintaining a B average.
I agree completely with your consideration of the new rule.
It would be a very smart idea, helping students keeping their grade up as an incentive for them to play the sport of their choice.
Requiring students maintaining a B grade average to play sports is a great idea.
It is an incentive for the athletes to play the sport they love, while representing our school at the same time.
It teaches kids that in order to do something they love, there might be something they need to do to earn there way into the sports they would like to play.
It also is a good idea because they will be getting good grades.
Getting a job later in life is a good incentive for student too.
While getting an education, you get good records and good grades.
It all can be used for your future.
Because you can get a better job and a good college scholarship for sports, just because you were aloud to play that one year of middle school or high school.
One reason it may be not so good is because basketball, or baseball, or track, or any sport is really good exercise for people. If you limit the kids being able to play, it limits your team, and it lessens the fitness for those kids.

089CDCA504A1,"Dear school principal,
I think you should go with Policy 1 because the students might need their cell phones after school, and during free times incase of emergency. The reasons for an emergency would possibly have to be ones such as ""Your parents got into an accident."" or ""Somebody robbed your house."" If the students don't have their cell phones during this time, then they will have to come home and either find their house destroyed and things missing, or their parents not home and in the hospital.
Students may also need their cell phones for after school rides. Like if their parents won't pick them up and they need to tell them, or a different relative is going to take them home. If the students were not allowed to bring cell phones at all, what would happen if one of them was the last one to go home and somebody held a gun to their face and told them to get in their car? These students would need to call 911, but if they don't have their cell phones, they would be in some big trouble.
Sometimes during school the students might have a lockdown incase of weather conditions like a tornado or hurricane. Then they would have to call their parents to make sure everyone in the house is safe.
Other reasons the students might need their phones is if they forget something at school and they need their parents to bring it right away. They might not be able to use the school phone because there is a line of people waiting to use it, or someone is already using it.
What would happen if a crazy person came to the school and shot students? The other students would need to inform their parents about things like this so they know they're safe. Most people in the world care about their children and their safety.

15EAD0CC9F3D,"Think back to the last time you attended school and how tedious it was progressing through each day. Chances are you quickly grew tired of the monotonous cycle every week, and would prefer to have an easier and more efficient way to learn. Luckily, students have no need to worry over this with the recent introduction of a new learning method, and that is through online or video conferencing. This outstanding idea has allowed an immense amount of people to learn even though the numerous amount of obstacles facing their way, be it poor health or even just being away from school for a definite period of time. With this new way of processing the knowledge one would normally learn in a school environment, it has proved itself to be a great alternative to the normal learning process. This is why I conclude that students do indeed benefit from attending classes at home, since it allows for an efficient and easy method of learning the courses one would normally obtain all the while being in the comfort of a distant area such as their own home.
School is indeed an essential part in the development of one's mind and future. However, it's not the perfect solution for everybody, as some people produce a higher performance rate when it comes to learning at home through digital methods. A common reason would be the people who aren't as socially adept in comparison to the others, and encounter some difficulties learning in such a public area filled with a large amount of people. They would usually work better in a more secluded workplace such as their home. I can personally attest to this myself, as I've occasionally resorted to partaking in online conferences, as on occasions, I would have difficulty learning in an area with people I lacked the determination to interact with. This doesn't just only include social aspects though, as even people with poor health, like the common cold or even more detrimental illnesses, will find it very beneficial to learn through virtual means. Having the ability to partake in classes and obtaining the same knowledge as your peers while being in a different area as them, makes you feel like the illness never was there in the first place at all. This allows the users to learn at the same, or sometimes even faster pace than regular students in schools.
Online learning can also help people who just need to complete work that they would've have missed due to personal reasons, such as a family trip to another state. Normally, when they return back to school, the students would encounter a myriad of incomplete work that had accumulated over their course of inactivity. The pile of work would be required to be completed if they wanted to maintain their grades all the while having to simultaneously obtain the current information and tasks the teacher was distributing to the rest of their peers during that time. As you can see, this can prove to be physically and mentally taxing for one's mind. With the introduction of online learning, it allows for the students to be able to accomplish their work virtually, which allows them to keep up with their peers and have a smooth transition back into their school without the hassle of what I stated previously.
Although there are numerous benefits to learning digitally, some people are still doubting online education, One prominent reason why some people would still have some doubts, would be that not learning in a regular school environment isn't quite as beneficial or effective in contrast to the average student learning in the school area itself. However, this is quite the opposite, as virtual education provides many benefits that even normal schools would most likely be not able to help. For starters, online courses allow for better understanding between one another, as methods such as video conferencing eliminates the background noises that makes it difficult to for the student to converse with the teacher and vice versa. If video conferencing isn't a preferred method of interaction, one can simply just type out their responses and inquiries they may have to the teacher, which makes it an efficient and clear way of understanding what they're trying to say.
Furthering explaining on why the concept of online learning is actually beneficial and effective on the student, understanding something in school varies and depends on what kind of teacher they have, and their method of instructing. On the other hand however, online courses are usually uniform with how they teach people, as they have clear and typed wording while also providing the users other forms of information sources to further develop their knowledge of the subject. This makes it easier for the viewers to follow and have a deeper understanding of the given concept, as they can simply backtrack onto the previous sections of the course without requiring the hassle of requesting the teacher to explain a concept again verbally, which often promotes tedious work ethics with teachers having to explain or rephrase the idea repeatedly until the class understands the idea before moving on.
Online education, although fairly recent, will bring forth a new wave of educational tactics and support for the students that will surely provide an immense amount of education support to multiple generations. Even through a myriad of obstacles, like their health or simply just finishing missed work, virtual courses will greatly help a wide pool of people with different types of problems to accomplish whatever they're trying to do with great success. Although there are still some who doubt the benefits the online courses provide to the users, I firmly believe that they will gradually realize how this will actually promote a clear and effective workplace. Looking back at how much society has grown to utilize the online classes, I can only wonder, how many lives had changed for the better? Would they've been as successful had it not been for the online classes they took?",,993,Distance learning,Independent,Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing.

CEF86741E2C5,"The Electoral college has been around for a long time but, do we really need it? Is it your votes that affecting your next president. Under the electoral college it is not. The electoral college says that voters do no vote for the president but for a slate of the electors, which elect the presidents. We need to kept the voting process we have now so that way we don't arguments throughout the states. In the electoral college yoor vote is sent to someone not holding public office.
When you vote you are getting a slate of the vote and to feel that their vote does not matter, that the new president will have no regard for their interest,is he really your president. The way we vote today is not that best we can do in some ways. I think that we need to have all the voters votes count towards the president that they want. We should let the people vote for who they want and not for someone else to vote for you. The constituiton says ""We the people, By the people,For the people."" So we should vote for who we want to represent us. The electoral college is based of a winner take all method of awarding electoral votes induces the canidates.
Another factor that is wrong with the electoral college is that bigger states like Californa get more votes than Columbia. So for example, say that Californa gets 45 electoral votes and then Columbia has the same amount of voters vote for the president they want they will only gte about 5 to 8 because of the state size. Once again restating that we need to vote for we want to and have everyone's vote coung not just the votes added up and then shrunk to electoral votes. The electoral college does have some help in some ways like in a run-off election. The electoral college help control that and produces a clear winner.
The elecoral college does some advantages too, but it still has disadvantges. The electoral college is the president wins by popular vote. The electoral college has a total of 538 electors but, sometimes the electors don't always listen to their voters and vote for who they want not who the state wants. The president has their own group of electors which have been chosen by the canidate's political party, but certain state lwas vary on how the electors are selected and what their responsibilities are. The election is every four years on the first Tuesday of November, which gives you time to think who you want to be the next president and cast a vote, but with the electoral college your vote could not really count. Have knowing that your vote may not count will make you upset and rethink about voting.
In conclusion, the eletoral college has some good things that does help us but, it has bad things too that make is sadband angry.

""Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instuctor"". Can you imagine of how student problems can solved, now with this new piece of technology?
However, a good side may also have bad side. Technology is still growing and becoming more useful then ever, we use techology everywhere, for daily life plans,communicating,playing games even shopping. With those pros, come with cons, technology also has become a tool for unkindness like cyber bullying, not only that.

Yes, their are simple remedies, like put your computer away with the top down, or when your on soical media.

In a conclusion, my point is now, that scientists want computers to
""'calculate' emotions"" . Hackers COULD find a stronger way, to make things dangerouse for people by reading their emotions through the person's private computer (unless this idea only stay in school sytems).

0A5FBB44DC50,"The requirement of some schools to have summer projects in order to continue the learning process during their break as left an ongoing debate. To solve this issue, the wonderful people who gave me this prompt have stated two different outcomes. Allow teachers to design projects or allow students to design their own projects. Based on my assumption, even though allowing students to design their own project would be fantastic. I strongly agree that teachers should be held responsible for the creation of projects during the summer, because students don't have the proper knowledge/experience, a greater challenge will be opposed to students and encourage unmotivated students when they are put in charge.
My first reason as to why students should not be placed in charge in response to making projects is that they will not fully understand the true characteristics nor have the proper experience to commit such task as a teacher would. For one, teachers of all kind have been legally certifited by the federal government, had additional practice at their academic college/university and had encountered the problem of designing a project multiple times.
The teachers design will likely to be more presentable is my second arguement. With having more experience and having a brief knowledge about where each student stands in terms of their struggles, teachers are able to identify the exact design that would proportionally match their difficulties. Which ops a greater challenge towards students.
Assigning a formal student the task of completing a design for a project will tend to typically be unmotivating for the student. For an example, let's suppose that you as a student were given the access to design a project of any kind from your own choice. You would most likely suggest something that is easy to achieve while still granting you an ""A"". By making students decide, the outcome would be very uncertain. In some cases, the design will be unacceptable in the preception of the teachers view.
Even though allowing students to design their own projects over the summer would be a wonderful idea in students eyes, the advantages of teachers designing projects would out weigh that of the students, and I so strongly encourage/believe that the arguement of teachers being responsible is better for the design of the projects because students don't have the essential experience, a greater challenge will be opposed, and unmotivate students when they are in charge.

Ask anybody about how they learned how to drive they can tell you like it was yesterday. There shouldnt be driverless cars because its too dangerous and elimates many things.
When you learn how to drive its a fun and exciting thing. You gain memories from that such as the mishaps you have while learning. You bond closer with whoever is teaching you. It even motivates you to do good in school and save money because once you learn you want your own.

304F363557F4,"What would you think if technology was made that could tell every emotion someone has, at any time of day? Well, pretty soon you may know first-hand, as our current technology is actually well underway to reaching that level. As of right now, a new software has been developed that can percieve emotions in others faces, using several different variables. It is known as the Facial Action Coding System, and judge six different emotions. The question is, how does such a machine work, and how can we know if this machine holds any value in a classroom setting?
Before taking a further look at whether such an ability is needed in classrooms, it is imperative to first understand just how the Facial Action Coding System works. It starts by analyzing the face and constructing a 3-D model of it, so that the 44 major muscles in the face can be easily captured. Then, the system labels slight muscle movements -known as action units- in the face and uses those to calculate emotions. As of right now, there are six classified emotions to compare the facial muscle movements to: Happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness.
The question is, how does this machine gather muscle movements as a certain type of emotion? How that works is the human body has similar facial expressions for certain moods, such as raising eyebrows when surprised. These are automatic in just about everybody, making it way easier to gather emotions. If someone were to, for example, tighten their lips, near everyone could understand the possible tension and anger from the person. Thanks to the easy understanding of facial patterns, the machine can too!
The science of facial mucle patterns may not be completely understoood, but there currently are ideas that maybe making certain faces can change your mood! According to the Facial Feedback Theory of Emotion, moving your facial muscles not only displays emotions, but it may help produce them as well! This is due to the empathy that may occur when imitating someone's facial patterns, even if one is unaware they are. With this information, we can understand the complexity of human emotion a little better, and possibly gather a conclusion from all of this that goes for this technology in schools. The question is, just what have we gathered and understood so far?
In conclusion, there were several take-aways from this article. For starters, the machine can evaluate six emotions, which are happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness. It does this via the understanding of the human facial muscles and the different ways we physically convey emotion. And not only that, but when someone may be only appearing as an emotion/set of emotions, they can subconsciously mold into that emotion. From all of this, only one sound conclusion can be made. The use of this technology is valuable in classrooms, as well as outside of school, due to the fact that it helps to recognize facial emotions in students and teachers alike so that they are more aware of their surroundings.",,505,Facial action coding system,Text dependent,"In the article ""Making Mona Lisa Smile,"" the author describes how a new technology called the Facial Action Coding System enables computers to identify human emotions.

She wished she had gone back to do more activities when she was younger, but there was no turning back now. Participating in activities are very important for every ones future. If someone doesn't participate in something, they wont only get a possibly scholarship, but also might not get the dream job they have wanted. Principals should make people participate in activities such as a club, sport, or student council
It is good to have social interaction with peers. If someone stays in the house all the time, not going out anywhere, then they might not have a good chance at getting into a collage they wanted. Participating in extracurricular activities might give someone extra points for collage, or make them look good for a collage. On the other hand, if people don't do extracurricular activities they might not be accepted in many collages. It is very important to do exracurricual activities while someone still can!
Certain jobs may check someones background to see what they have done for a living, but if they haven't done anything except for playing video games all day, they might not get the job.

AF637B7047FB,"My principal has decided that all students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity. In my opinion this is a great idea. This requirement will hopefully increase the amount of learning opportunities, through educational extracurricular activities. Exercise, through physical or sport related extracurricular activities. Or even this one extracurricular activity will improve a students social skills, through team building or just working with other people on something in hopes that they make new friends. I believe that the student requirement to have at least one extracurricular activity is a good implement because it can provide extra learning opportunities, increase physical fitness, and improve student social skills.
I believe that being required to do an extracurricular activity will provide more learning opportunities. One way that doing an extracurricular activity will provide more learning opportunities is where you have school sponsored, after school activities made to help you in school or in specific subjects. One example of an extracurricular activity is the ""Homework club"". The ""Homework club"" is an after school extracurricular activity created to help you with subjects you are struggling in, assignments you dont quite understand, or school work that you are unable to do at home. This educational club comes with free tutors and teachers that will hopefully be able to answer any question you have and help you with any assignments you need assistance on.
I believe that being required to do an extracurricular activity will increase physical fitness.
One example of a extracurricular activity based around physical activity is ""Weight room"". ""Weight room"" is an after school extracurricular activity based around physical movement and fitness. This club meets up after school to use the Robinson weight room. The weight room is a smaller gym based around work out equipment. Some of this equipment includes ,stationary bikes, stair climbers, rowing machines, basic weights, bars, and dumbbells ranging in weight. The people in this extracurricular club prosper to increase their physical fitness and become healthier.
I believe that being required to do an extracurricular activity will improve a students social skills. There are numourus extracurricular clubs that dont base around education and fitness and these clubs, I would say improve a students social skills. One example of this is the after school tech theater club. This club comes together for about a month to help with the technical side of a Rambunctious theater show. In this club you get to meet new people and are able to help out your department. There are many departments in this club ranging from sound technician to costume and makeup technician. To join this club you have to submit an application and select what department you would like to be in for the production. This department requires team work with your other technicians and I think that this club is a good way to make new friends and teach better social skills.
In conclusion If the principal were to implement this requirement at my school it would be beneficial. These extracurricular activities would greatly improve it's student's, individually but it would also improve the entire school as a whole. Through these activities you will find a way to become more healthy and fit. You will have access to more learning opportunities and I believe that you will even find yourself making new friends through these clubs or sports you find yourself doing. If the requirement to do one extracurricular activity was implemented I would not oppose because I know that it can provide extra learning opportunities, increase physical fitness, and improve student social skills.

B87D9BCAD703,"Dear, Florida Senators
I believe that the Electoral College is a good way of voting for a President and Vice President because the founding fathers established it in the Constitution as a compromise between election of the President by a single vote in Congress. The Electoral College consists of the selection of the electors is the meeting where the electors vote for there President and Vice President. Plus the majority of the 270 electoral votes is required to elect the President of the United States. The United States entitled allotment of electors equals the number of members in its Congressional delegation. One each of the memebers in the House of Representives plus two of your Senators. In our state, each citizens have there own group of voters that vote for a President and Vice President of there chose. Some even vote for candidates that are going for a person running for President or Vice President. Our state's Certificates of Ascertainments are sent to the Congress and the National Archives as part of the official records of the presidential election. '
Under the electoral college system,voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president. If I lived in Texas, for example, and wanted to vote for [Adam] Pis , I'd vote for a slate of 34 Democratic electors pledged to Pis. On the note, that those electors won the statewide election, they would goto congress and Pis would get 34 electoral votes. There are a lot of questions that people ask, who picks the electors in the first place? It depends on the state that some citizens are living in because some states can have picked electors and some dont even pick electors so, it must depends what state the citizen lives in.
Perhaps worrying is the prospect of a tie in the electoral vote. In that case, the election would be thrown to the House of Representatives, where state delegations vote on the president. Because each state casts only one vote, the single representive from Wyoming, representing 500,000 voters, would have as much say as the 55 representives from California, who represents 35 million voters. Its hard to think about this but some are right, abolish the electoral college!

Dear Principal,
I believe that Policy 1 is a better option.
You should allow students to bring cell phones to school and use them during lunch periods and other free times, as long as they are turned off during class time.
I believe this is a better option than not allowing cell phones at school at all for a few reasons.
First, cell phones are good to have in an emergency.
If something bad happened at school, it would be nice to text your parents to tell them what happened and they would feel much better to know you are safe.
Also, what if a student misses the bus, if cell phones are not allowed at school at all, than how would you be able to tell your mom to come pick you up?
Another reason why cell phones would be good to have at school would be if an after school activity was cancelled and you need to tell your parents that you will need a ride home, it would be so easy to call them from your cell phone in between classes.
There is nothing wrong with using cell phones at lunch, as long as you keep them turned off during classes.
Teachers could set rules against having them on in classes, such as taking your phone away when you are caught with it on during class.
That would help kids to follow the rules.
One more reason why cell phones are a good idea at school is that it would be nice to text your friend across the school during free time or in between classes.
For example, someone has a friend in seventh-grade across the school.
She forgot her math homework in the cafeteria.
Her friend is right by the cafeteria and is on her way over to the seventh-grade hallway.
It would be very helpful if she could text her friend to tell her to pick it up for her and save her the trip.
There are lots of benefits to being allowed to have cell phones at school.
It would make life so much easier and make many people happy.
That is why I believe Policy 1 is a better option than Policy 2.

Over the years many people have complained that voting for a president of the united states is unfair. That they fell that someting should be done to change the voting system. In the articals given to me i have read some resons to keep it and to abolish it. In source one the electoral college is a process, not a place. the founding fathers astablished it in the constitution as a compromise between elections. For the president by a vote in congress and election of the president by a popular vote of qualified citizens.
The electoral college consists of 538 electors but if a majority is 270 electoral votes. Under the 23rd amendment of the constitution the district of columbia is allocated 3 electors and treated like a state for pourposes of the electoral college. You are choosing an electors when you vote for president because when you vote for a canidate u a really voting for your candidate's electors. There are some little things that need to be done to fix it a little like fir example the part thats stats that smaller states have barly no power and that most presedents dont even wory about then becuse they don't make muche of a difrance. Each party selects a state of electors trusted to vote for the party's nominee (and that trust is rarly betrayed). The other problen that is with this system is that the winer takes all when the are may poeple that vote for ether for the republican or democratic if the oponunt has more votes they won all the electors and the oponunt does not get any votes from that state so its like you didin't even vote.

0EE6F614F2F0,"Have you struggled and asked someone to help? People often do this to search for the answer or an alternative. Seeking more than one opinion can provide someone with better choices because it gives them a new perspective and can better themselves.
One way multiple opinions helps to get better choices is gaining a new perspective. First, someone with the help of others can find out new and improved ways to solve the problem. A new way to solve can lead to a completely new and beneficial solution. This can result into the right choice to make. Secondly, someone who knows more than you about a subject can reinforce their idea, so the opinion seems better and more reliable. For example, if someone asked an old science professor about the parts of a plant cell, the professor will be able to answer that question confidently and reliably because they've been teaching science for a long time. This proves that getting an professional opinion can help others with their choices. Thirdly, peers could influence perspective and help with better choices. Others often trust a close and helpful friend rather than a random person. Overall, looking at a new perspective can better someone's choices by finding a new solution, getting professional guidance, and gaining the help of fellow peers.
Another way of improving the choices others make is to strengthening themselves by listening to others. People can improve themselves and the choices they make by listening to constructive criticism and feedback. For instance, I asked people to review my project and I was told some feedback. I learned from that experience, improved my abilities and I now make the right choices when I work on projects. Not to mention, people can help make better choices by getting emotional support from others. Someone could be going through a rough time and not making the best choices, but they can search for multiple view points from others. This can result in people helping that person out and leading them to conduct better choices. Lastly, people can help make improved choices by gaining motivation. Motivation from others could help someone keep pushing forward and make correct choices, so that they can improve and learn. In conclusion, getting multiple opinions can improve someones choices by listing to feedback and criticism, getting emotional support, and gaining motivation.
Getting a lot of ideas and opinions can give someone better choices and opportunities because it gives a fresh view point and can improve ones self. People consult other people to find better choices and in doing so, usually benefits the people involved. All in all, an open perspective and improvement in themselves is why gaining multiple opinions helps result in good choices.

8E4BBBA4018F,"Students think of school as a stressful and challenging obstacle. The amount of work put on them causes them to think that school is not a place for them. School is supposed to be a place where we can identify our future career path. Having these classes can help students think of school as a nurturing environment and not a terrifying world of homework. I definitely agree with the principals choice of making a mandatory extra-curriculum class, since it can have a lot of positive effects on the students. Having these extra classes will help the kids control their mental health and help them pursue their future career goals. It will also encourage them to try new activities.
Having extra-curriculum classes will help the students control their mental health. School can be very stressful and this is one way to overcome the stress. These classes will help them forget about the other class for a while and relax the body. For example, for students who enjoy to do art and work with their hands freely, pottery classes are excellent. Pottery class can help them forget about the stress they had in their other classes and let out the stress in a calming way. Next, students take tests as a terrifying piece of paper and that can make them worry for the whole day. The extra classes will help them forget about the test for a while and clear their mind. Science has shown that doing an activity that we enjoy can help us do better on the test, since we have a clear mindset. An example is I had my writing sol and circles quiz on the same day. I had two major things to worry about and that was really scary. Once I was done with my writing sol I still had band and math to go to. When I went to band, it helped me forget that I had a math quiz today and cleared my mind before. When I headed out to math and started taking the quiz I thought the quiz was really easy and I don't know why I was so terrified of this quiz. Finally, the extra classes lets the brain stop taking in information to just rearrange the ideas and to relax it. Having so much information in the brain can cause the student to forget important factors. If a student is playing a sport he or she enjoys like soccer, taking a class on soccer can not only let the student have fun, but also relax the brain and be free. The extra curriculum activities can help fix these three mental health weaknesses.
Secondly, these classes can help pursue their future career goals. Some students already know what they want to go into when they grow older and they want to take classes that will help them lead up to their dream career. Letting the kids have a mandatory extra-curriculum class can help the kids lead to reaching that goal. For example, if a student wants to major in culinary arts, doing a cooking class would be good. It can teach him or her new skills that will help him or her get better. Another reason why extra activities help pursue future goals is the classes will go deeper into the topic the student wants to pursue. If a student wants to go into Microbiology, they not only have to take life science, but they need to take a class about biology. This class can go even more deeper about microbiology. Taking these classes or activities can go further into the knowledge of the topic. Lastly, for students who don't know what career path they want to go through they have a chance to see what they might like. Having these classes opens up a wide variety of activities that students can do and they can see if they enjoy it or not. Depending if they like it or not they have a choice of going through that pathway in the future. As shown, having these different classes can help pursue or find future career pathways and goals.
The last reason why we should have these extra activities or classes is it helps us try new activities. Some students are very quiet and are a introvert. They don't really talk to people much and they keep their thoughts inside most of the time. For someone like them having these classes will help them open up more and try something new like being part of a student leadership council. Another way these activities help us try new activities is they will help the student see their likes and dislikes of a topic. For example, I never enjoyed sewing and during seventh grade we had to take FACS which was a class where you learn about family, cooking, and sewing. When we came to the sewing topic I wasn't very interested with the machines and the idea of sewing in general. Once we started our first project which was building an ear bud pouch I started to enjoy doing things with the sewing machine. I soon fell in love with sewing and one of my likes is sewing. This shows how trying somethings can be positive. The final reason that extra classes help us try new activities is it can open up many ideas or thoughts about the activity and opens up pathways to go through in the future. For example, if a student tried leadership council and enjoyed it, they might want to continue being a leader and become a lawyer in the future. In conclusion, this shows that having these extra classes can make students try something new and different.
I agree with the principals choice that each student must participate in at least one extracurricular activity. Having these classes will have a big impact on the students, such as controlling their mental health, pursuing their future career goals, and encouraging them to try different activities. Having the extra classes will help the students have a better view of how school is and why we come here. ",,1009,Mandatory extracurricular activities,Independent,"Your principal has decided that all students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity.

0D29A98FE8FB,"When you need advice about whether you should go with the pink dress or the blue dress, or what kind of dog you should get, you might want to ask multiply people for advice. I believe that it is smarter to ask multiply people because you might not like the answer one gives you, it's good to have a back up plan, and it's good to have multiple options of what to do. Asking multiple people for advice is a great way to weigh out your options and decide what works the best for you.
If you are trying to decide the best way to break up with your boyfriend then you might ask a friend. If that friend says to just go up and say it to his face and not care about what he feels, you might not think that's the nicest way to break up with him. You would want to ask someone else for advice about what to do because may not like the answer to you got. Another friend might say to go up and slowly ease him into it. See when you ask multiple people you can get another opinion if you don't like the first one.
Imagine you need a dress for the dance on Friday. You ask a couple of your friends what dress you should get. They sent you a list of dresses and you decide that you like the navy one. You go to the store and they tell you that they are all sold out of the navy dress. Normally you would be screwed, but then you remember they sent you a whole list. You also liked the pink one so you decide to get that one. When you ask multiple people you can have a back up plan if one doesn't work out.
Say you want to get a dog. You ask all of your friends what the best dog is and why. They come up to you and tell about how well the are with kids, if they bark a lot, if they are hypoallergenic, how big they get, and how playful and cute they are. You look at all your options and decide the best dog for you is the toy poodle. When you ask multiple people you get multiple answers and more options to choose from. If you only asked one person then you wouldn't get all the information about all the dogs you might only get information about one.
In conclusion, I believe that it is important to ask multiple people for advice. You can have multiple ideas for if you don't like one or for if you need a back up plan. It's also important to have multiple ideas for great big decisions.

6D21E6095A62,"Many schools are starting to offer online schooling for students. Students or teachers may believe this can be a very beneficial program. However, I believe that online classes can be difficult or tough on a student. Students some times need an actual teacher showing or explaining to them face to face content, others take extra-curricular activities, and many students may even forget they have an online class.
First, not every student can learn by just one explanation, many students need a teacher showing them or explaining how to do something. Take for example my cousin, She's taking online classes but has a difficult time learning the material because she doesn't understand the explanation they are giving her. Her struggles with the material is there because she doesn't have an actual teacher explaining why such ans such are like that. Not many students have the capacity to learn off of the words of a website. Many students need that extra help, whether its a different way of learning or just a better explanation.
Secondly, A large amount of students take extra-curricular activities. Many are in an art club, Spanish club, and maybe even drama. The struggles for taking an online class for those would be a large amount. For example, The time I took an online class for art, it was terrible, either I didn't know how to transfer my painting to the computer or I just didn't know how to draw the picture. Extra-curricular activities would be difficult to learn without the extra help of a teacher.
Lastly, Students can even forget they have an online class. Many have jobs, others just like to sleep, they'll forget they have a class online and forget to turn in the work. For example my cousin, she sleeps a lot, By the time she wakes up she realizes that her assignment was already due. Online classes don't send out reminders of the assignment so any student can easily forget and fall behind the rest of the class.
In conclusion, online schooling isn't very beneficial. I believe that it can be tougher and more difficult on students. Many need a teacher to show them face to face content, some take extra-curricular activities, and majority of the students forget they even have an online class.

But you cannot do these while driving. You can kill someone if you're not focused on the road. we have become focused on how much we can do at one time that we are willing to risk our personal safety as well as the safety of others because we can't put down our phones. Using a phone while driving is dangerous to the driver themselves for some good reasons below according to the law.
1. Its illegal 2. You are much more likely to have a wreck 3. Texting and driving puts all the drivers sharing the road with you at risk, too, because you are unable to navigate the road while looking down at the phone in your lap.
According online 11 teenagers die every day due to texting and driving. Teenagers are 400% more likely to get into an accident from texting and driving.

I have noticed you are weighing two possible alternatives for cell phones in your hands.
You might think turning cell phones off will help studying in class, but if someone needed to call their parents how would they?
If you were already in school forgot something at home or had to stay after, would they use the school phone or would they be stuck there and left?
As a non-phone user it would be very difficult to contact any of my parents or sisters to pick me up.
If you give students time during lunch and other free time you and us, the students, will get what we want.
If you don't give students phones at school they might still use them anyways and say that
""it was an emergency.""
Phones do cause problems so I see if you disagree, but students hardly change.
Students are always trying to communicate no matter what you can't stop that.
Limiting students is going to be better rather than telling them ""no phones.""

876DA6B76DDF,"Summer has always been seen as the well deserved break from school that students deserve. However, for many advanced placement students, summer can be filled with projects and homework to prepare them for their rigorous courses. These rigorous courses can be honors, advanced placement, or dual enrollment classes offered by the school district. Summer homework has become the distinction between academic and higher education options. The question remains, is summer homework more beneficial when it is designed by a teacher or by a student. Although students have the advantage since they took the course themselves while the teachers seldom take part of the tests or classwork, teachers would be better equipped in making summer enrichment projects because teacher are far more educated, have made many projects for students in the past, and have most likely taught the course in the past. These reason showcase why teachers are better at making projects for the summer than students are.
It is a fact that teachers are more educated than students are. Teachers have completed years of college to be able to teach in a classroom. Students have not even complete high school compared to the numerous years of education teacher had to go through. Teachers also have to go through a apprenticeship and learn from a teacher after they achieved their college education. During this apprenticeship, many teachers watch and learn as older teachers show them how to make a project that can be best suited for their classroom. This amount of work makes educators more than capable of handling making a summer project for students. Students are not as educated as teacher are. Teachers went to college to learn and be able to educate. Their education makes them more than qualified to make and grade summer projects that they assign to students. While many students have no idea where to start in terms of making a project, America's educators have been learning these skill for generations. These reasons on education are why teachers are more qualified to make summer enrichment homework than high school students.
Many teachers also have years of experience making projects for students to complete. Teacher across America have been making projects for students to complete for years. Projects arent new and teachers have been making and assigning them since day one. While many students have not once made a project for multiple peers, teachers have been making assignments and projects for years. Education alone should make teachers a far more appealing group to develop and assign projects and summer work for students to complete to understand the course. This amount of practice comes from their education and their time as teachers. Many students have no experience at all with developing and making assignments, this is a teachers job. This is why that experience alone and be the factor why teachers are more qualified to making summer projects than students are.
Also many teachers, have taught the same class or at least the same type of class. Many classes, such as the advanced placement classes, have included the same teacher for most of their careers. This is the most important factor. Since teachers have been educating in the same fields and classes for the majority of their career, they know the material and curriculum of the class. This, opposed to a student who mostly likely only spent a school year in the class, makes educator qualified to be able to assign and grade summer projects. Students merely have attended the class for only a school year while it is apart of a teachers job to understand and master the curriculum of the course. Teachers know what is on the tests and what you need to know to be successful in the class. This is why teachers are far better at making summer projects than students.
While many teachers have taught the courses, the students are the ones taking them. Students are the ones who have to study and do homework for hours and sometimes the information is not relevant for the exam. Teachers have not had the same point of view as students have today. Students at the end of the year know what they need to know to be successful in making summer projects and assignments. Although these are very valid points, they do not account for how qualified teachers are. As already mentioned, teachers have gone trough years of education, teaching the same class, and experience of making projects. Between students, who no little about the course compared to teachers, and educators, who spent years to be the best teacher they can be, teachers are far better at making summer enrichment projects. Many students are ill-equipped and ill-advised on making summer projects for them and their peers to complete and have a basic idea of the course itself.
Teacher are more qualified to make summer project because of their extensive education and apprenticeship, their time making projects in the past, and time spent learning and mastering the course. These reasons, among many others, showcase way teacher are the best at making summer assignments and projects for honor students across high school in America. Although students have the point of view of seeing and participating in lessons, taking the tests and exams, and doing the classwork and assignments, it is not comparable to the advantage that many teachers have when education students. At the end of the day, teachers are the best to plan and make summer projects that can prepare students for their upcoming class. It is up to the teachers to teach and the students to learn the topic of the course.

principle of SCHOOL_NAME
I know that you are thinking about cell phones i think we should be able to use them while it is lunch, after school, or before school. We can use cell phones not just for texting calling, and games we can use them for our education.
Not everyone uses cell phones in class and i think it would be fair if they were able to bring their cell phones to school, and turn them off.
Students in class will like to use their cell phones for many things, but they know that they will be taken away for being used in class or in front of a teacher.
the only downside to me is moms will have to spend more money when it comes to the phone bill.
I f students use them in a bad to often then the privilege should be taken away from them.
On the other hand some people do use their cellular phones for bad things like texting, and internet so that could be the reason you wouldn't allow cell phones.
even though we use cell phones every day at school should not be the place for phones school is for learning. Not for texting on phones.
If cellular phones are used the school could get in trouble for letting students use them.
It would also ruin our reputation as a school so don't allow cellular phones.
in the end cell phones should not be used at school because kids would get distracted by them and not learn the things they need to .
cell phones do three bad things to the body first it rots your eyes. Then you get stuck texting forgetting proper spelling. Last it gets you in trouble for not having good grade in school.
Allowing cell phones at school is like allowing kids to bear arms they both will eventually ruin a kids life.
The kids in our school have more than enough time to use phones, and if you let them use it at school they will become more defiant, and disrespectful so TEACHER_NAME

E4426C4EBD19,"Dear State Senator,
Many people today have very strong oppinions on why or why not we should keep the Electoral College. I am writing to you today to tell you some of the reasons why the Electoral College should not be used anymore.
The Electoral College, like most things, has room for error. However this is the type of error that you want to try as hard as possible to avoid. Any error here could lead to the false election of a President and Vice President. Now maybe the falsely elected President and Vice President have some wonderful ideas on how to help our country as a whole, but in carrying out their wonderful sounding plans, may have to hurt or cut back other resources to do so which could hurt us. This is just one example of how the Electoral College can go wrong.
The Electoral College has been used for many years and has become an anachronism. We consider ourselves a democracy yet we use a non-democratic method of selecting a president. With the Electoral College comes the certanty of outcome. The winning candidate's share of his/her Electoral College usually exceeds the share of the popular vote. The Electoral College requires the president to be a candidate with a trans-regional appeal. Any candidate with regional appeal is very unlikely to be succeful as president. The residents of the other regions will most likely feel disenfranchised and that this candidate is not really their president. The swing states tend to pay closer attention to the campaigns and to really listen to what the competeing candidates have to say. The residents in the swing states tend to be the most thoughtful voters. In the Electoral College, they try to restore a political balance between the large and the small states. With the Electoral College you avoid the problem of an election where no candidate recieves a majority vote which would complicate the presedential election process.
All of these reasons are great and everything but there is always going to be a flaw in the system. Some believe that is is the people who vote in the presidents, however, all we are doing is electing the slate of electors who are are the real people who elect the president. In the Electoral College there is a disaster factor. The electors chosen could always defy the will of the people. These electors can be anyone who does not hold public office. Voters cannot always control who their electors vote for and some voters get confused about the electors and vote for the wrong candidate.
The most worrying part though is the prospect of a tie in the electoral vote. If a tie were to happen, the election would be thrown off to the House of Representatives, where the state delegations would vote on the president. Due to the fact that each state casts only one vote, one single representative from Wyoming, representing 500,000 voters, would have just as much say as the 55 representatives from California, who are representing 35 million voters. The House's selection can hardly be expected to refelct the will of the peple in the states. The elections can be only a few swing voters away from a catastrophe.
The Electoral College is unfair to the voters in its most basic level. Due to the winner-take-all system that is in place in each state, the candidates don't spend as much time if any at all in the states they know they have no chance of winning, and spend most of if not all of their time on the tight races in the 'swing' states.
Like everything it would take some timw to get used to the changes and I understand that. I also understand that election by popular vote has its flaws as well. It is time to change from an outdates, irrational, and unfair method. Thank you for your time and consideration about this. I hope you consider changing from the Electoral College to election by popular vote.

EFE31525B288,"My mom receives two emails, one for hockey, and one for football. Now I have to choose hockey or football, both are expensive, so I can only play one. The next day I walk up to my friends for advice, before school starts, on what sport I should play. I like to ask what others would do so I can get their opinions on what I should pick or do. It is good to talk to more than one person for advice because you can hear from other's personal experience, hear what others would do, and they can help list the Pro's and Con's about your choices.
When I have to make a choice it helps to hear from personal experience from others. One reason is you can hear why they did that choice. I like to hear what motivated them to make that choice, and if it was a good motivation. My brother played football because he though it looked fun and he wanted to try something new. Another reason it helps to hear from personal experience, is if they liked what they choose. It is always helpful to hear the outcome of after the choice was made, and if they were grateful or regretted the choice they made. My brother was grateful for playing football because he made more friends and learned a new sport. A final reason why it is helpful to hear from personal experience is, so you can find out if they would or wouldn't recommend it for you. Before making that finale choice, it is always helpful to see if they would recommend it. If they recommend it great, that means that they think you would be happy with that choice. If they don't recommend it that is okay, but I would not make that your final choice because they think it won't be the best option for you. My brother would recommend football for me because he knows that I like to try new things and I like to run. It's always great to hear personal experience from someone if it was good or bad. It is always appreciated to hear what others would do, even if they don't have personal experience.
When asking others for advice it is great to see what they would chose ,if they had to choose between those options that you have to choose from. It's helpful to hear their reason behind the option they would choose. When I asked my friend ""Would you rather play hockey or football"", she said "" Hockey because she loves to skate and it just seems like a fun sport to play"". When I asked another friend the same question all she said was"" I would play football,"" She didn't even give a reason why.
What is the point of choosing an option if you don't have a reason to back you up. That just shows you're picking an option for the sake of picking an option. When people share their opinions they influence your final choice. When you add all the opinions people gave you it can help you make the right choice, therefor influencing your final choice. It's always great to hear what others would do, and why they would make that choice.
I also find it helpful to make a Pro's and Con's list, It's even more helpful when you make it with someone. It always helps when listing things about what is good about the choice. That list gives you a sense about why you should pick it and why it is better than the other choice. One good thing about hockey is that you get to learn how to handle a hockey stick. When making a Pro's and Con's list, you have to include the bad parts about your choice. One bad part about hockey is that you have to be good at ice skating. Once you list the bad parts about both sides it gives you an idea on why you shouldn't pick that choice. When you make this list with a friend or family member, they can help with coming up with things to add to the list. Even though this list isn't giving you a straight opinion, it is still helpful. Once you look at both the Pro's and Con's together it can help you get an idea on what you are going to choose. Making a Pro's and Con's list can be really helpful, it can be even more helpful when you do it with someone.
It is good to ask more than one person for advice because you get to hear their opinion on what they would do, they can help list the good and the bad on each choice, and you can hear what they choose when they had to choose between those options. Asking for advice is really helpful than just picking a random choice with out any advice. When you ask for advice from someone you can never go wrong.

D2C7D096655F,"I agree with the principals decision that all students should participate in atleast one extracurricular activity, it helps students learn new things, make new friends, and have a break from the daily stresses of school. In todays tough and rigorous education system, students of all ages come home stressed, worried, tired, and upset. The goal is not just to learn anymore but to succeed and ace every single exam. I believe that if everyone had a relaxing and enjoyable activity with no grades or stress, school would become a much more enjoyable place for students, and become a healthier environment for students to successfully thrive in.
This decision will help in four aspects of the students health; academically, physically, socially, and mentally. Academically, like mentioned in the previous paragraph, is greatly improved. Students need a break from the constant testing and late night studying and hours of homework. Personally I know many, many students who are up late at night and up early in the morning, cramming for their many school projects. An activity for them once a week would greatly reduce their sky high stress levels and lead to a better education. For example, I personally know that when I'm extremely confused or worried with my school work, all it takes is ten minutes outside and I feel a lot more calmed down and ready to focus and tackle my homework. I strongly believe that adding this program will rise so many students grades up by a lot.
The next aspect is how this is physically beneficial. Every day students are cooped up in their classrooms, in their uncomfortable chairs, straining their eyes. Once middle school begins you can say goodbye to recess, and when high school starts you begin ninety minute classes. The sitting around for hours on end just gets worse and worse as the workload increases. Those who choose to play sports can make sure to get in their healthy amount of excersize and stay fit and active. Those who do an art class or take pictures for the yearbook are still up, moving and stretching, this is crucial to a growing students health after sitting for seven hours. Students deserve the opportunity to get up and move around because many are sore and tight after sitting for so long. It may not be easy to realize but just giving them that hour of movement after school is so, so beneficial to their health.
The last two aspects are mentally and socially. Mentally has been touched on already, the brain needs a new activity, a break from the constant learning, to explore new paths and try new things. Expand the boundaries of you mind in ways you don't in school. However another aspect of this is emotion. Happier, more social students can usually perform better because they have things to look forward to after school that keeps them positive throughout the day. Some students who are having trouble making friends, or are new to the area can now find a whole group of people to spend time with, and better yet all these people have the same interests as them. This can really benefit some lonely students. It can really make the difference for their grades too, when they become a lot more outgoing. I remember one year, a new girl moved to our school and was rather lonely, she joined the musical, got the lead, and by the end of the year had lots of supportive friends and fellow theatre enthusiasts cheering her on. It was great to see how being a part of something really helps you expand your friend groups and meet people you would have never spoken to if not for the activity. It goes to show how positivity and a better outlook help keep up your energy to really engage with your classes and teachers.
In conclusion, it is crucial for a students proper development and overall educational experience that they are given a break from the demanding tasks of school to enjoy themselves. To give themselves some time to relax, and simply do what they enjoy while meeting new people, learning new things, becoming healthier, becoming happier, and more prepared to conquer the next day of school. I truly believe this decision will greatly benefit the overall health and well-being of all students.",,717,Mandatory extracurricular activities,Independent,"Your principal has decided that all students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity.

The article, ""Making Mona Lisa Smile,"" by Nick D'Alto, introduces the idea of being able to decode human emotions to help students. A software that understands students' emotions is an undoubtedly valuable technology. Students around the world would be helped in a new and improved manner if they used this innovation. Technology used to read emotional expressions would be very helpful in classrooms because it would help students progressively learn.
A piece of technology that detects students' emotions would assist students and teachers in and out of the classroom. Every student learns at a different pace.

'Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor.''' The previous quote demonstrates that the computer software would help students learn in an adjustable manner. After the students' emotions towards the assignments are detected, the assigment would be modified to help the student progress with their understanding of the subject.
In fact, the computer software would not only help students while in class, but it would also help students afterschool. For example, the software would allow students to complete and understand computer homework. This would help the student learn even when a teacher is not with them. Furthermore, teachers' jobs would be made easier. Even if students have further questions, they would always be able to go to their teachers.
Lastly, a software that reads people's emotions would be an extremely valuable tool for students and teachers in classrooms. It would allow students to learn at their own pace and way. In addition, they would be provided with additional school help. In fact, their teacher's would benefit from this because they would get help teaching.

FEBFD34B8021,"In this reading, the author is talking about exploring venus, but all his evidence speaks differently. I believe the author does not support the clam that Venus is a worthy pursuit because the evidence given is mediocre. He contradicts himself in many paragraphs proving why we shouldn't send people over, and has not given any reason why we should go over there.
In this short persuasive article, the author does not pursuade at all. In paragraph two, the backround of Venus is given, but it's not stated why its important to visit this planet. ""Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size."" The only valid reason givin in this short story is when it is said in paragraph 4, ""Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system."" This statement gives no reason for traveling and researching Venus except for the fact it used to be like Earth.
Though it is said Earth is one of a kind, this article states Venus is the most like Earth planet they've ever found. That could be a valid reason to explore and consider inhabiting, but it is proven with evidence that Venus is inhospitable and would serve no purpose in researching and visiting. In paragraph three, it is said, ""On the planets surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet."" These conditions are said to be inhospitable in paragraph four.

This evidence says the planet is almost impossible to visit and collect data on, except in the fifth paragraph, it is a very long explanation as to how we could even study venus. This is then contradicted in the sixth paragraph by saying photography and videography are ineffective because of the thick atmosphere, and no samples would be possible because the ground conditions are too bad for humans, and even metal.

DE499912068F,"When you are in seek of some good advice, is just one opinion really going to suffice?
Deciding between the wrong and right choice is challenging and may even be a little frustrating, so naturally, you are going to want to ask guidance from multiple people. collecting advice from multiple sources is good for your decision making because different relationships interfere with others opinions, You can find people with the same interests as you to get advice from, and when you ask more than one person it feels way more confirming.
Getting advice from people who have different relationships with you may affect who you ask and the advice you get. If you want advice on your relationship with your mom, spouse, or cousin you probably don't want to ask your mom, spouse, or cousin for advice about them selves. For me, personally, I like to ask my friends relationship advice about my family and ask my family advice about my friends that way no one knows I am asking for advice about our relationship but I still get all the opinions I need. Relationships get messy when they cross paths so asking multiple people for advice will really help make sure you are making the right decision.
your probably like well what do you mean by crossing paths, I mean when one person has a relationship with someone and you have a different kind of relationship with the same person. Thats why I think asking many people with different relationships with you is so important.
like many of you I have family, friends, and family friends and depending on the advice i'm looking for I will go to the people who relate to my problem the most but sometimes it is good to get an outside opinion from people who don't relate.
When you need advice about a relationship you go to the people closest to that person and the people closest to you but if you go to someone totally opposite of those ""requirements"" you may get a perspective you never thought of before. Having different opinions when it comes to relationships is all about perspective so get all the opinions and don't be afraid to ask for those opinions from anybody.
If you ask multiple people about a interest that you share you can keep progressing and getting better at that interest. When doing a hobby the easiest opinion or advice source is probably going to be the people who also share that love for the hobby. I love to do anything that has to do with design weather it be fashion, homes, or even the perfect lay out for my locker, my mom also shares the love for design but has a very different style then me and my friend likes to design to but has a very different style as well. I ask advice from many people weather they have the same style or not so I can get all perspectives. If your hobby is watching sports and you are trying to decide what your favorite sports team is going to be that is perfect time to ask many different people with many different team preferences for advice.
My dad likes the Redskins my mom likes the Seahawks and 90% of my friends like the Eagles, So if I only ask my mom I might not have made the best decision but if I ask everyone and compare and contrast than I will probably make a much better decision. collecting information from everybody that you ask and then think about it is always better than settling for advice from one person.
There are certain things that you need more than one opinion for or more than one person giving you advice. When it comes to something like appearance people arent going to want advice from there grandma so they might ask there mom but when you think about it she has to say you look good shes your mom so you ask your friend. Asking multiple people for advice about appearance is for, in my opinion, comfort that you actually do look pleasing so in this case multiple opinions is very important. Another example of something that people always need assurance on is are they good at something meaning once again you need opinions and advice to make the right decision to keep going or stop with that particular something. Again you probably should not ask you mom "" am I good at football"" she will probably say yes but ask advice from a coach or a teammate so you get comfort.
The last thing people always need advice on to feel comforted is being accepted by others for this I would say get advice from anyone because no matter what there are going to people who dont accept you. If you ask multiple people for advice on the subject it will be easier to come to terms with the subject and you can accept it. Being assured you have something or you look like something needs way more advice than just one person.
It is good to ask more than just one person for advice because you get more perspective and insurance. you need to realize the people who have different relationships with you, have the same interests as you, and need comfort in advice like you do are great people to go to, to get advice. Asking anybody for advice or and opinion will automatically make your decisions more correct or easier but asking multiple people will be more effective. When you need advice always ask more than one person. ",,932,Seeking multiple opinions,Independent,"When people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person.

E74F2616693B,"To: TEACHER_NAME,
Kids theses days have cell phones, and they also bring them to school. I think that you should let us kids use our cell phones during school because some kids will still use it anyways during class if you don't let us use it during school. I think that you should let kids use cell phones during lunch, brunch, and our free time because it is our free time and even though we are still in school we might get bored when we have free time. So when ever we get bored when we have free time then we can use our cell phones to text or call our friends or our parents. I think that it would make life a lot more easier during school if you would let us use cell phones at school. Even though school is for learning, during our breaks we are not learning anything. that is why I think that we should be allowed to have cell phones at school. If teachers want to they can also maybe have a container where they keep all the cell phones during class and when the class period is over then they can just get their phone from there. I think that is a good idea because then there will not be any kids texting, calling, or playing games on their phones they would just be working on their work. Plus there is a good side to having cell phones during school. When you are stuck somewhere and cant get out you can call someone on your cell phone to help you. Also maybe when you forgot a homework assignment at home or a project then you can just call one of your parents up for them to drop it off at school. Now that you have read my letter i hope that you will considerate changing the school policy to allow cell phones to be allowed during school when we have our free time.

Everybody wakes up with different emotions everyday , those emotions that we have gives us an idea on what type of day were going to have , so we give off a look that tells somebody if were happy , sad , or angry . Face expressions tells another perosn how you are feeling today , so they know how to come to us to have decent conversation . In this essay i am going to explain how face expresion is important and talk about how computers can read students emotional expressions .
Imagine being in the computer lab when all of sudden you log on to do your research in the computer can recoqnize your emotions by using the camera to look at yor face . And by scaning your face the computer can tell that your not having a good day or , having a bad , or just maybe can be sad . Will that make you feel awkward ? , Do you want your compurter knowing how you feel everyday you log on ? , well i am going to tell you my opinion , in the artical "" making moan lisa smile "" they specififcally talk about how computers can read your emeotions , by scaning your face expressions I ceratinly feel like that is its great idea because , it would make me feel better if im havinga bad day , that the computer can read my expressions. I mean would if a fellow student doesnt have any friends to talk to if there havin a bad day , well the computer can identify there emotions and give off and alert to the teacher who can talk to that student , that will help alot in school .
In the artical "" Making Mona Lisa Smile "" is stated that , the facial expressions for each emotion are universal , so that gives us an idea on that the problem is universal . It also stated that "" We human perform this same impressive calculations everyday , you can probably tell how a friend is feeling "" . That tells us that if we humans have the same expressions everyday it would be easy if a computer can do the same ,because were feeling the same as yesterday and we can easily recoqnize how a friend is feeling . Tecnology can be easily read how a students emotions are . it also stated that "" The mona lisa demostraion is really intended to bring a smile to your face , while its shows just how much a computer can do .
I know reading all this makes you feel a little awkward because who would come up with an idea if computers can read students emotions , I mean should a computer really care ? , to answer yes because just as a teacher they should care how your feeling because they can make you feel better , give you a little talk for the day . If your feeling sad , or if your just to happy for the day , they can calm you down .

The new software will help in many ways. One way is it will tell use if a student is okay. This will tell if they are making a fake smile to say that are fine, they really not. They could be having problems in there house or something like that.
The software can tell witch muscle is being used. That is how it know if its a fake smile or are a reall smile. This will tech the students a face muscle. It will help tham later on how to tell a reall smile or a fake smile.
Can the software upgrade? The students will proabley try to make it better. During the project they will learn stuff about the software. Later they will know what to do if it breaks or when they will creat a software.

They gets us concerned by stating the perrils of exploring venus. Then they state why the audience should be interested in exploring Venus, and proceeds to counter the perrils by stating technological advancements being made to lessen the extreme environment on Venus.
The author shows the perrils by first stating the dangers and compare them to intense atmospheres on Earth, such as how the ground temperature on Venus is over 800 degrees fahrenheit and would instantly melt most metals. Another example that he gives would be when they states that the gravitational pull of Venus would crush a submarine that was meant to explore the deepest depths of the ocean at Earth. One more example of this would be when says that staying above it is still a danger because of how hot and unbearable it would be. Those are the situations that he has listed.
After saying all the dangers of exploring Venus the author decides to mention why scientists are still attempting to explore the dangerous planet. An example would be that Venus is very much like Earth. In the article the author mentions Venus and Earth having many of the same features, such as mountains and valleys as well as evidence showing Venus possibly containing water and oceans. Another thing the author tells us is that the planets orbit at different times, so at times Earth may be closest to Venus, and other times we are closer to Mars. Those are all reasons why scientists wish to explore Venus further.
The author, after having told us the conditions and reasons to explore Mars goes further. The author then states technological advancements being made to help survive the conditions on Venus to obtain samples and such. An example the author gives us would be mentioning A device that would lessen the conditions on Venus to make it at least tolerable. Another example would be creating a lab that would create the same atmosphere as venus so scientists could create machines capable of surviving the harsh environment. Those are all examples stated in the text.
After stating the perils, the motivations, and the advancements towards Venus, the author is able to canvey their message in a clear and concise way.

Teachers make the work to complicated and it is hard to do without a teachers help. Students can make it easy for themselves because they can make or find ways to make it simple and easy. Students can go on websites to gather information or have a sister or brother help maybe parents. For me a student i think it easier to have my own design because the teachers stretch the assignments they make u add supporting detail or show your work or all that extra information that we dont need.
Honestly i really dont think we should have summer assignments because whats the point in having summer break if we are assigned school work. If i want a job how am i supposed to complete these projects another reason why i think it should be student designed because if i am working all day then i can base my project on that where as a teacher would base the projects on stuuf that i wouldnt be able to have time to write about or create or grab information. I feel that if we are going to have to do work in the summer then we should be able to create our own projects not assigned teacher projects.

16DEF72E220A,"Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing. But I don't think that it would benefit from being able to attend classes from home. Because, there are many reasons that the students could not able to learn home by yourself in online; which are that some problems, and communicating. Also there are more position to I disagree and agree with this argument.
Firstable, I think the students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing, it would not benefit for the studehts, because of the students could have some question that they don't know. And if someone who dont' teach with them, they cannot learn that more understable. And they migth cannot catch up their late works, because of they don't help anybody. I have an examples of that the girl who has taken an online classes, and she didn't go to the school, because she thought, the online class is better than to learn subjects and it doesn't have to do that everyday and she can study her subject whenever day she could. But she have to her exam in the school, and she didn't study as well as can't catch up her study work. Now she stopped to take an online class in the home and go to school. So, in my opinion, even thought the online class is giving you as more free time but if you can't study by yourself, It couldn't help you that learn.
Also, the students can't communicate with other students. It means that the student can't study with other students that they can't make some friends and could not be an active just like some other students. Also, it will be impact their behaviour that they'll be more lonely. Because the students behaivior is always changing and easy to get used to their environment, especially the high school students. Therefore, i disagree to attend classes from home by way of the online and video conferencing benefit for the students.
On the other hand, the online class is not really useless thing that for the students. Of course, It should be has some advantegious way to attend online and video class, which are it helps that the students could be more mature and more focusing on their work. And they have more free time because the student doesn't have to this everyday as a school, they can do that whatever time to working on it. So, we don't have to hold one point of view, we should try that two other sides. For examples, the every students are different way to study, we don't have to demand to do only one way, they might be more interest with the online, video class and the other students could be more enjoy to attend this class. Consequently, every students who enjoy that much, they could take that class much easily to study in their home.
In conclusion, I think students would benefit from being able to attend classes from home, but not all of students, because they all have a different way to study and somehow the student will need some help to support their what they are studying. In that case, students might be trying to give up to study alone. Therefore, the student might think very well to thier option to to attend classes from the home.

I think that working at home would not benefit student's, reason being home is more comfortable and relaxing .Working at a public school can help you get opportunity's with friend's or teacher's like a job or college career. Public school is more efficient because, other students can help you out on work and at home no one is there to ask for help. Talking to a teacher in person can be so much more helpful then on a computer . Staying after school is a big benefit to people who prefer public school because you can get work done that is needed, but at home I feel like you can't get the same help you need on the work.
Working from home can have its benefits like being with family more often. Working from home can be challenging for some people because home is more comfortable therefore the student would become more lazy and get bad grades. One thing about working at home is you would make your own schedule which could be flexible to your own time. Students who work at home would have no one to help them out with work outside of class which would be hard on the student
Students who go to public schools will benefit more then the students that work at home. Public schools bring more opportunity's as distant learning would not get as many .

I think that promoting this idea for a grade B average for sports participation is not what one would call fair.

Another problem from this policy might occur. The re-enrollment rate might drop.

F54672352542,"Should Schools Allow Student-Assigned or Teacher-Assigned Summer Projects?
How many times have teachers assigned summer projects, yet you only get half of the students' projects? Aren't you tired of getting only half your students' projects and having to chase students down to complete their projects. When will you learn students aren't interested in teacher-assigned projects. Why not give something else a try, like student-assigned projects. Instead of teacher-assigned summer projects, why not try student-assigned summer projects. It allows to student to be creative, work independently on projects like they will in future, and get students interested in their projects. For schools to assure students continue learning effectively over the summer they should allow summer projects to be student-assigned.
Schools allowing student-assigned summer projects allows students to design and customize their own projects to their own interest. Being able to allow students to pick a topic you're passionate about gets students interested in their summer projects. Since students are allowed to pick their own topics, the project is on something that they're interested in. Students have a chance to choose a topic they have an interest for or are passionate about. Therefore, this sets students up to become immersed in their summer projects. Student-assigned summer projects allows students to explore new topics that can spike interest for students to pursue a possible, future career path.
Having projects be student assigned allows students to work independently on projects as practice and preparation for independent study projects for college. In college student-assigned projects or independent study projects are assigned often, especially in STEM fields. To help students prepare for college, student -assigned summer projects will give them a preview as to what it is like to do an independent project. Students all ready feel high schools don't prepare them for college, but student-assigned projects can get students that needed preparation for college. Schools allowing student-assigned projects are helping their students to receive necessary preparation for college.
Some educators and students believe that teacher-assigned projects are the better choice over student-assigned projects. They think it will give more structure to the project, projects will explicitly follow the curriculum, and students will know exactly what they have to complete for the project. However, all teacher-assigned projects do is stifle creativity, lose student interest, and cause students to become more dependent on teachers for ideas. For example, whenever I have teacher-assigned projects I get excited about the project, but I forget about the rubric. Once I remember there is a rubric to be followed, all of my creative ideas for the project dissipate because they don't follow the rubric guidelines. Student-assigned projects allow for more creativity, students aren't bound by a rubric.
Schools should allow student-assigned summer projects, since it allows students to open up their minds and become creative thinkers. Teacher-assigned projects stifle the creative young minds of students. Assigning independent student projects allows students to independently explore their interest, prepare them for college, and lets students use their creative brains to learn.

A majority of 270 electoral votes is required to elect the president. With that being said that is just like saying you are choosing a president by the most popular votes. In paragraph ten it says under the electoral college system , voters vote not for the president but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president.To me in the passage the bset argument for you to keep the Electoral College is the electoral college is less work than having everyone vote and round it off for a president to be elected.

D10B149161A1,"Starting with the end of World War II, cars have been a cultural hub all around the world, with businesses and even entire economies relying on the production and sale of cars and car products. However, after over sixty years of a car based global economy, the use of cars is beginning to slowly decline. With the decline of car usage, we see decreases in greenhouse gas pollution, a more relaxed living style, and the dawn of a new era of culture and economy around the globe.
Several major cities around the world have attempted to lower car-use through laws or even annual days devoted to reduced car-use. In Vauban, Germany, seventy percent of the population does not own a car, and fifty three percent of that population sold a car to move to Vauban. Vauban has condesed its suburban layout so that everything is within practical walking range for the most part. They have also discouraged car-use by making parking only available in two places, ""Car ownership is allowed, but there are only two places to park-large garages at the edge of the development, where a car-owner buys a space, for $40,000, along with a home"" (Rosenthal, paragraph 2). Vauban has reported drastic reductions in greenhouse gases. Passenger cars are responsible for twelve percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe, and up to fifty percent in the United States. The Environmental Protection Agency in the United States is promoting ""car-reduced"" communites in order to cut down greenhouse gas emissions, and legislators are acting on the issue. Experts claim that public transportation is beginning to play a larger role in suburbs, and a larger budget is now being given to public transportation instead of highways. Paris also has reduced driving to reduce smog, but they did it through laws. After suffering record-breaking pollution, Paris enforced a partial ban on driving. On Monday, even-numbered license plates could not drive, or they would be fined twenty two euros, or about thirty one dollars. On Tuesday, the same thing applied to odds. From this driving ban, congestion was lowered up to sixty percent in the French capital. Throughout multiple global cities, these reductions of car-use have had a significant impact on greenhouse gas emissions, and more cities are beginning to join in.
Along with the benifit of reduced greenhouse gases, car-reduced societies also have a more relaxed living style. In Vauban Germany, citizens have claimed that they are enjoying a more relaxed life with much less stress. Heidrun Walter was quoted in Elisabeth Rosenthal's article ""When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way"" (Rosenthal, paragraph 3). Andrew Selsky's article on car-free days in Bogota, Colombia also states that people enjoy the relief of less stress when they don't use their cars. ""'It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution' said businessman Carlos Arturo Plaza as he rode a two-seat bicycle with his wife"" (Selsky, paragraph 24). If a drop in car-use leads to a happier, healthier life style, this will most likely set off a cyclicle action of car-use reduction to relief of stress and back to car-use reduction. As more people realize this potential benifit of reducing car-use, more people will beginning to join the population of reduced car-use.
The vast empire of cars that began with the end of World War II has reached its peak and is beginning a steady decline. For nearly seventy years, cars and car products have been a cultural and economical stimulant in both developed and developing countries. From the Model-T to the Buggatti, cars have been percieved as the thing to have over radios, television, and other mass media. Now that they are becoming less used, culture will slowly begin to shift to a different source to hype about. The production of new models of cars and new types of cars will slow and eventually halt all together. As well as culture evolving to a new phase, economy will also undergo major changes. Economy all around the world has been stimulated by auto industries, and international trade has been influenced heavily by it. For example, foreign cars are driven in America more often than domestically-manufactured cars. Now that car-use is declining, the economy will suffer a major crash in stocks in the auto industry. Although this crash will harm the economy, the ever-changing population of Earth will quickly find some new innovation to obssess over and the market will quickly recover and improve on this new product. With a new culture and economy, the world will be in a new era, a new age of living.
With the decline of car usage, we see decreases in greenhouse gas pollution, a more relaxed living style, and a possibilty of a new era of culture and economy around the globe. As the problems with cars are found, people have and will continue to resolve the problem by reducing car-use. The Earth will become healthier with a nicer atmosphere, the population will lead happier lives, and culture itself will transform with the end of major car-use.

This innovative concept has led 70% of Vauban’s families to live without cars, with 57% selling their cars to move there.

NASA has been researching Mars for years looking for living things. Nothing was ever found. So, why believe there was ever ancient civilization on Mars, if through out all the research, nothing was ever found. Some still disagree and believe that there is new life on Mars.

63C087C70C54,"When asking for advice, whether at school, work, or even home, it is often better to ask more than one person so that you have more than one opinion. This can help you make a better choice because you get to see a different point of view and you're opened to new ideas and possibilities, you can choose the option that is best for you, and, in general, your end result will be more reliable.
Seeking multiple opinions can help you look at the problem through a different point of view and open you to new ideas that you may not have thought of before, which can aid you in fixing that problem in the long run. If you have a dilemma and are unsure on how to fix it, ask for advice! The people you question will most likely give you an option that you didn't think of, and if you try it, who knows? Maybe it will work out.
Asking for advice from multiple people is also useful because you can choose the option that appeals the most to you. Let's say that you are picking out a dress to wear for a school dance, you are having difficulty choosing between two of them. You ask some of your friends, your mother, father, and sister. There is a slim possibility that they all prefer the same dress, so you get the chance to see through their eyes when choosing the dress. Your mom might not like the open back on one of them, while your friend might like the pattern the very same one! But you can make the final decision, you are in control of which advice to take.
Advice comes in many shapes and sizes, asking more than one person for their opinion is very helpful when it comes to advice. A reason for this is that the end result is going to be more reliable and factual. If you need help on a homework question, you should ask multiple people because one person could be wrong. If you ask multiple people, then you are bound to get the right answer from at least one of them.

75B94E37D75A,"Using the Facial Action Coding System would be valuable in a classroom. Many students often get bored, distracted, or just lose focus when being taught a lesson that doesn't interest them. Of course you can't just not learn the lesson, since you are learning because it will come to use later on. Therefore, I believe that with help from your computer screen, you could stay on track with your work.
Often times, teachers use different teaching styles based on what allows their students to learn most effectively. With the Facial Action Coding System, computers could do so, too. For example, say you're reading an excerpt on the computer and it's not really on a topic that interests you, most students would immediately lose attentiveness to the reading. This is not a good thing, especially if the information was important, useful, or for a grade. But, with the Facial Action Coding System, this problem could be solved. The system could be used to spice up the learning, or keep the teaching style stays the same way if the student is staying attentive.
Many people learn in a different way. Some students are more effectively taught by learning visually, others hands-on, and some verbally. The Facial Action Coding system could recognize these based on students facial expressions. If the student is looking focused while seeing a diagram, the system could see they're a visual learner, and keep teaching the topic in that way. Otherwise if that doesn't work, the system could see if the student's emotions would change based on if they could listen to the information instead of reading.
Based on the positive characteristics of the Facial Action Coding System, I believe we should have the technology at school.

E7988483480F,"Dear Principle,
I do not think the idea of students who don't have a B average not being able to play sports is fair.
Some students don't do well because of a certain problem or disability that they have.
Also, many kids are overweight or have nothing to do in the afternoons when they get home from school and most kids' parents' work in the afternoons so sports are usually a really good extra curricular activity to have to keep them busy.
Also when colleges are looking at student's applications they look for extra curricular activities along with good grades. If a student makes very good grades and also does sports and other activities then the college would most likely choose them instead of a student whose grades are not good and that student doesn't have any sports or activities.

The author suggests that studying venus is a great chance to learn and find new things and supports alot of theses claims by giveing some great support on why its a good idea. The author starts by explaning that venus is referrd to as Earh's twin in maney cases cause its the closest planet to the Earth in terms of density and size. Venus also nickednamed the ""Evening Star"" is one of the planets closest to the Earth in distance as also Mars is in that distance aswell. All three planets are around and orbit the sun at different speeds says the author in paragraph 2.""Often referred to as Earth's twin Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size and occasionally the closet in the distnace too"". ""Earth,Venus,Mars,our planetary negihbor,orbit the sun at different speeds"". The author starts giving his part on why we should study and travel venus by saying its the planet the may have once been the most Earth like planet in the solar system long ago and was probbley covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life just like how earth is today. Venus still has some known features that still resemble Earth today like the planet haveing a rocky sediment and includs things such as valleys,moutains,craters. Altho Venus does seem nice its very dangerous to travel there and is not safe for humans at the moment. Scientest have sent numerous spacecrafts to land on Venus but no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours. Venus also has a thick atomosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide that sarounds Venus. The even more challeging thing is the clouds that are highly corrosive of sulfuric acid in Venus's atmosphere and the fact that the planets surface temperature is over 800 degrees Fahrenheit makeing these far more extreme than anything humans encounter on Earth as said by the author in paragraph 3""a thick amtosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dixiode blankets Venus"".""Even more challeing are the clouds of highely corrosive sulfuric acid in venu,s atomsphere"". Traveling to venus seems too dangerous but the author gives some ideas on how we can possably make traveling to Venus safer. One of these ideas come from The National Aeronautics and Space Adinistration also known as (NASA).This idea is for sending humans to study Venus NASA,s soluiton to the harsh Venus conditions of its surface is to make a blimp like vehicle that would hover 30 or so miles above the planet. This would allow scientists to avoid the unfirendly ground conditions of Venus and with the only minor problem being the air would still be a little hot at 170 degrees Fahrenheit but the air pressure being close to Earth at sea level.

The people who will use this and succeed properly are a very minuscule amount. Kids who are taking solely online courses will not pay very much attention to there instructor, and they will find easy ways to cheat on exams and tests; they can look things up on the internet with there computer or phone, or have there notes sitting right there while taken the tests. Only a very small amount of people will actually learn and retain what they have learned by means of online classes especially at the middle school and high school levels.
If kids are taking solely online courses they will miss out on so many things they could experience by going to a regular school. They will miss the human connection between the teacher and student, and student to student connections and interactions. They will miss the opportunity to make mistakes and being able to learn and prepare for them better. Home school kids tend to be more introverted and not very good with interacting with people. Going to a physical school and having day to day human interactions helps you just as much if not more for the real world as does learning a subject. If we change to online classes kids in the future will not be well prepared to deal with problems regarding two or more people they may be working with. Online schooling will turn us into introverted machines, rather then regular human beings that have the chance learn, grow and interact with others.
Someone may say you can prevent cheating on tests and quizzes by having a camera on while taking them. I would say to that, no one likes having big brother watching them do things constantly let alone taking an important test without having every action you do read to determine if you're cheating or not. They may say that it gives kids more time in the day to things and takes stress off of them. I would agree but then again, you need to be stressed once in a while in order to understand from it and help you become better. I would say the majority of kids have plenty of free time now; considering sports and extra curricular activities are down in the country. Kids just waste there free time.
Taking the social element out of school and putting school online and in the home away from people, is the worst thing that can be done. We already have a whole generation who can't deal with there problems because they grew up in a box; it would only make things worse when you completely take out the human element in school and taking away the chance for kids to have relationships, make mistakes and figure out those mistakes on their own.

CC82A1D80D1A,"Have you ever wondered what your life would be like if you did not have to drive as much. Maybe you didn't have a car at all. A small experimental suburb in Germany is tooling with the idea of a no car life style, along with many cities in the United States where a car is not a neccesity. Paris however has banned car usage all together, becuase of the amount of smog produced becuase of the automobiles. This could marke the end of car culture across many countries, exspecially the United States. There are many advantages to not owning or using a car, some of them may just cause you to get ride of your car.
A small suburb in Germany on the France and Swiss border have given up on their cars. ""Street parking, driveways and home garages are generally forbidden in the experimental new district on the outskirts of Freiburg."" The streets of this small town are car free. The twon offers a tram that runs through the downtown, and a few small streets on one edge of the community. The town cannot bain cars altogether, but if you own a car the only place to store it is in large garages at the edge of the town. One space can cost $40,000, the cost of the space comes with the home. Only 70 percent of the population in Freiburg owns a car and 57 percent sold there vehicle before moving. Germany isn't the only country with this type of movement. The United States is promoting ""car reduced"" communities. This will cause increase demand of public transport to the suburbs surrounding big cities such as Chicago and New York.
Paris, however, is the first city to prohibit driving altogether. ""After days of near-record pollution, Paris enforced a partial drribing ban to clear the air of the global city. Drivers where asked to leave their cars at home or risk a fine of 22 -euro ($31). Almost 4,000 drivers where fined. Diesel fuel was blamed becuase France has a tax policy which promotes diesel fuel. Almost 70% of drives have diesel vehicles. Delivery companies complained of lost revenue, but exceptions where made for hybrids and electric vehicles. The public transit was free of charge during the bane.
""President Obama's ambitious goals to curb the United States' greenhouse gas emission, unveiled last week."" American now is has fewer car sales, people driving less, and there are fewer and fewer liscences each year. Americas love of motor vehicles seems to be subsiding. People are driving about as much as they did in 1995 which is 9% lower then the peak in 2005. Some people may blame the lack of cars and driving on the reccession. On the other hand people were buying less cars two to three years befor the reccession even hit. If this pattern presists sociologist believe it will be eneficial for cabon emissions and the enviorment. This is becuase transpertation is the 2nd leading cause of carbon emission. This could have negitive effects on the automotive companies but they are already rebranding themselves as mobiltiy companies. This allows them to have a broder range of personal vehicles. Cities like New York have established a bike sharing program. This allows people access to bikes accross the city instead of taking a taxi. Many of the young people accross the country have not even bothered to get driver's liscenses. Driving decreased by 23% between years 2001 and 2009. They instead plan activites where they can walk or ride a bike.
The age of the car may be coming to an end. Communities have started promoting a car free life style. Made othe ways of transportation avaliable. The younger people in the community have quit driving all together. Wether becuase it is good for the enviorment or a choice they had to make becuase of the city they live in. Transpotation is evolving into a public affair, not a personal one. The automotive industry may take a hit but in the long run this could be beneficial for our planet.

D6B9D9C293B4,"Exploring Venus has been a challenge that humans have been striving to explore for over three decades. In my opinion I believe that someday humans will colonize Venus but not anytime soon so there is no point in continuing to study it. In this article ""The Challenge of Exploring Venus"", the author claims that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers. I believe that the author did a great job with their claim and that they used many details to support their claim but they did not go into detail on the cost of these studies. The article is about the challenges and drawbacks from being able to explore Venus and the precautions that are needed to be put into account when trying to explore it.
As I have said, I believe that Venus will some day be explored and colonized. However I do not believe it will be any time soon due to the fact that there are hundreds of different drawbacks and challenges that are needed to be strategized before we can take a living human up there. Some of those challenges and drawbacks that are needed to be taken into account are that we do not have the necessary equipment to withstand the atmosphere on Venus made up of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets as said in the article. In addition, there are temperatures that average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit on Venus. Those temperatures are beyond anything that has ever been created to withstand heat.
In reality, anything that is sent to Venus will probably be melted and destroyed before even landing on the planet. I say this because the atmospheric pressure of Venus is 90 times greater than Earths. I can support this because in the article it says, ""These conditions are far more extreme than anything humans have ever encountered on Earth; such an environment would crush even a submarine accustomed to diving to the deepest parts of our oceans and would liquefy many metals."" Even if Venus was once the most Earth-like planet why keep sending unmanned spacecrafts to Venus. The only thing that scientists are accomplishing are a few results on how to modify their spacecrafts but they are wasting their money on something that probably will not be accomplished in their lifetime.
In conclusion, Venus is one of those planets that humans are so fascinated by but it has many drawbacks and dangers. Therefore I do not agree with the authors claim but I do believe that they did a great job with using details to support their claim. In my opinion, due to the drawbacks and challenges that need to be solved in order to even land on the planet Venus, I believe that exploring Venus is a complete waste of time as of right now.

Asking three or more people for their opinions on something will be a more accurate and better way to make a choice or get advice, than asking one individual for her or his opinion. When your in a situation that requires you to make a difficult choice, than seeking multiple opinions will give you a better chance at making the right decision. Your answer wont necessarily be wrong if you ask one person, but it'll more likely be wrong than correct. I think seeking multiple opinions is a great way to decide on something your not sure about, because it gives you a better chance at making the right choice, more choices to choose from, and your gonna be more confident about your answer.
Asking multiple people for their opinions will give you a higher chance at making the right decision. Having a better chance at making the right choice is something everyone wants. A higher chance at making the right choice will make you feel great. Your choice will almost definitely be correct if your parents agree with you. At the end when you make the right decision you will be happy and satisfied with your self for asking multiple people for their opinions.
Having more choices to choose from is great. If your not sure about any of the choices that you came up with, than you can ask for other peoples opinions which will give you more decisions you can make. You can ask your friends or family to help you make a decision if your not sure. You also have your teachers that can help you out, and give you more helpful tactics. If you have a lot of choices than you will at least feel good about one or two of them. thats why I think having more choices to choose from is great.
Feeling confident about your decision is important. If your not confident about your decision, than ask the people around you for their opinions. They might agree with you and support your answer. If they agree with you than you should be confident about your answer. You shouldn't loose your confidence only if a few people disagree with you, because there will always be people who agree. Confidence is the key to everything.
I think seeking multiple opinions is great because you will have a higher chance of your decision being correct, more people will agree with your choice, and you will feel confident at the end. I like asking multiple people for their opinions on something, because sometimes they have ideas that I feel more confident about than mine.

Citizens don't always have control over whom the electors decide to support. This is a problem because voters are sometimes mislead with the electors and vote to elect the opposing candidate. In the year of 1960, those who supported segregation were extremely close to having electors that supported Kennedy replaced with new electors that supported the actions of segregationalists. These people attempted this because Kennedy would never actually recieve the popular votes if the votes were to be in favor of him.
In the sense that some might argue that the Electoral College is perfect the way it is, this is an invalid statement because the people of America don't realistically have a say in government decisions.

F37464EF4C66,"What is The Electoral College? It is a process the founding fathers established in the Constitution as a compromise between election of the President by a vote in Congress and election of the President by a popular vote of qualified cirizens. The process consists of the selection of the electors. Most states use a ''winner-take-all'' method that awards all electors to the winning presidential candidate. The Electoral College is the method we use for voting and selecting our president's.
Thanks to the quirks of the electoral college-won the popular vote but lost the presidency. Over 60 percent of voters prefer a direct election to the kind we have now. Therefore I think that we should change to a popular vote. Over 50 percent of the people agreee, and I think that should be enough proof. This year voters can expect another close election in which the popular vote winner could again lose the presidency.
The problem with the electoral college is that you voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, wwho in turn elect the president. For instance, if you lived in Texas and wanted to vote for John Kerry, you would vote for a slate. The slate containing 34 Democratic electors pleged to Kerry. Most likely those voters would probably win the election because Texas is a big state and a high percentage of the people voted Kerry.
The Electoral College requires a presidential candidate to have trans-regional appeal. No region has enough electoral votes to elect a president. Just as Romney was a solid regional in the South, has no incentive to campaign heavily in those states. This causes the method to be difficult to chose a for sure winner. Usually elections are always close.
The Electoral College restores some of that weight in the pollitical balance that large states lose by virtue of the mal-apportionment of the Senate decreed in the Constitution. The method may turn off potential voters. Especially for a candidate who has no hope of carrying their state. Democrats in Texas and Republicans in California. I think that we should changeb to a popular vote method. Either way, people should be encouraged to vote because every vote counts.

I think that students should not be able to use or have phones present during the school day. It is something that kids shouldn't worry about during the school day. phones should only be used in schools in the event of an emergency. Cell phones may cause problems in times that the student is working and will prevent he or she from completing their work.
Their is always the argument that cell phones may help students get rid of stress by talking to someone when no others can hear. That they could talk to friends that across the school or to another school. This could a chance for them to hang out with a friend that they cant see during the school day.
This could also have many down sides. This could lead to a increased risk of having cell phones away for saying stuff that is not needed or allowed to be said in school. This would increase the risk of student getting ISS, OSS, or even kicked out of school for not needed behavior. It could also lead to fights. Even cell phone theft or misplacement of a cell phone.
I hope that you will take what I have said into consideration. The school will stay a more friendly place to be. Their will be no unnecessary disruptions. The kids will be better off with no cell phones allowed to be used in the school building.

F4B8EF210070,"Dear Principal,
Community service can be very rewarding to a students life. Many think of it as boring or stupid, but it can have a lot of positive effects on a persons personality and social life. Community service can create, in some students, respect and responsibleness that was not acquired before. In the end, it could help them learn the skills they need for their dream profession. It also makes the student more of a possibility for scholarships to a certain college or university with service hours on their application.
Very few teenagers actually participate in community service, and most who do don't do it often. This is because most students believe that it is a waste of time and takes away from the time they could use to play video games or hang out with their friends. In my opinion, if you make the service seem fun more students will get involved. Also if they are allowed to be with someone they know or are friends with they are more than likely to want to participate in whatever community service is being performed.
I believe community service can become useful and I strongly agree that it should become required of all students.",,200,Community service,Independent,"Some of your friends perform community service.

The atmosphere of Venus it too thin it lets too much heat into the planet. We wont be able to survive. How do you now we will have enogh oxygen on venus to live.
First, the planet Venus it toohot for human life to survive. Venus is the second plantes from the sun it's too close to the sun for us to even try to make it there. Also no one knows how long it will take us to get to Venus wonder if the spacecraft run's out of oxygen. If it run's out of oxygen everyone will die before theyy make it to Venus, but wonder if they do make it to Venus it might not be a lot of oxygen to breathe in because the planet is so hot. Then wonder if there no water you need water to survive ecause Earth is a liquid based planet,but Venus is not.
Secondly, how do we no if the spacecraft will be able to take that type of heat. The palnet surface temperatures on Venus average over 800 degrees fahrenheit I know that's way too hot. That type of temperature is beyond of what I can imagine I know Earth's surface is hot, but not that hot. Venus atmosphere is 97 percent carbon dioxide I think it's like that, because it's so close the sun. The closer you get to the sun the more radiant energy it gives off and too much radiant energy can be bad. Like how do we know that the spacecraft will still be getting singnal from Earth, because wonder if the eletronic gadgets over heat and just give out because the planet is so hot.
Lastly, they say that venus is our twin planet. I don't see how it can be our twin planet because it so hot and it's very radiant. The planet Venus has a rocky sediment and icludes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters. Earth and Venus can be twins because Earth is not rocky it's a liquid based planet. Venus has a thin atmosphere because the heat keeps it's so hot and thin it can't get a break to even expand. But Earthis not as close, so Earth's atmosphere is a little bit thicker the Venus's atmosphere. Venus might also have some harmful chemicals. I say this because how do we know what's on the planet its could be all types of harmful gases from the sun. We never know what's there on Venus or what could happen if we go.
In conclusion,
I think Venus not is a worthy pursuit because of the dangers. Venus is too hot for human to live on it's too close to the sun. The atmosphere of Venus it too thin it lets too much heat into the planet. We wont be able to survive. How do you now we will have enogh oxygen on venus to live. We don't know how long it will take to get there and how much supplies we will need to take and what supplies to even take. It's al ot to think about before we could eventhink about living on Venus.

4DFD2B09DC1C,"Hi my name is Rashaad, Do you ever wonder what seeing venus whould look like? Or is it a worthy pursuit of dangers? Well today im going to tell you but first i am going to give you some backup information about our lovely twin venus. Venus is one of the brightest ponits of light in the night sky. Venus also has an nickname becuase of its brightness which is called the evening star. Venus is often refferd to as the earths twin becuase of its terms of density and size and sometimes the closest. But venus tempatures average over 800 degrees farherint and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than on earth. That is some background information so you can get an idea of what venus is.
But the real problem is that venus has a worthy pursuite of dangers heres why as in the text it says that,¨Humans have sent numerous spacecrafts to land on this cloud draped world. Each previous mission was unmanned,and for good reason,since no spacecraft surivived the landing for more than a few hours.¨ This shows that venus is very dangerrous not even a space craft chould land on it. Now lets find out why. The reason why venus is so dangerous becuase A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent of carbon dixoide blankets venus. Also on the planet´s surface averages about 800 degrees Fahrenheit and the pressure is like 90 times grater than on earth. This is problay why not a single spaceship has touched down on venus in more than three decades.
The author uses great detail to back up why studying venus is a worthy pursuit of dangers. becuase in the text he shows use the dangers that are already on venus and how it is super hot and that the weather is very diffrent from earth i can support this becuase in the text it states that,¨Beyond high pressure and heat,Venusian geology and weather present additional impdeiments like erupting volcanoes, powerful earhquakes, and frequent lighting strikes to probes seeking to land on its surface. this shows that he is giving us proper details to show why studying venus chould be worthy of being dangerous .But thats not all The National Aeronautics and Space Administration has one compelling idea for sending humans to study Venus. In My opionon that is a sucide mission becuase we don´t even have that good of technolgy for humans to barley even have any oxygen to breath on there.
But the study of all this may not be left behind becuase humans want to explore all of the planets one day so this is good but dangerous trying to study Venus. But im going to give you some more information about the studying of exploring venus. So there solution to try an test this study out is to have a blimp like vehicle hovering 30 or so miles above the rolling venusian landscape. But they say it whould still be hot it whould at least be 170 degrees Fahrenheit. But a vehicle hovering over venus whould avoid the unfriendly ground conditions by stying up and out of their way as it says in the text. But NASA is working on other approaches to studying venus. But they have tired lots of exermeints as it says in the text like this one we it said that, Some simplified electronics made of sillicone carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of Venus´s surface and have lasted for three weeks in such conditions.
But the moral of this essay is to show you that the author had some good detail to show that studying venus is dangerous and a good thing if we find some things out. but all of this like the weather one day we are going to find out how we can fix all of that and how we are going to get better technolgy to fix all of this up so we chould land on mars safely one day. Also don´t forget that NASA is still doing some research on the planet so problay later in the future we might have alot of things to problay to help us with alot of things in the future.

Well one if NASA keeps saying that there is nothing there its just a face then yeah its just a land form shapped like a face. NASA would get a lot of money if they found some life form on a planet so they wouldnt keep it quiet. There are many land forms that look like that. So if the MGS on the planet kept looking it would find more land forms that looked like that. If it was an alien how is it still alive. All living things need water to survive. So wheres the water at? Also the people found beter cameras to use to take the picture. It was much clearer and you could tell it was just a land form. Michael Malin an his team messed up the first time because when they took the picture it was winter and very cloudy on the Red Planet. The camera lense had to look through shallow clouds to see the face. So some people said the alien face was hidden by haze. So Micheal Malin and his team tried again in April 8, 2001 to take another picture. It was perfect because it was a cloudless summer day in Cydonia. The picture was clear perfect nothing could have told you that, that was an alien face. Some even said it looks like something here on earth. Either a pyramid in Egyptian time or maybe even a mountain. You can make up myths and say that its an alien face, but all the facts say that its just a land form.

F6C05963F191,"Dear Principal ,
I think the school cell phone policy should be (policy 2 ) , ""Do not allow students to have phones at all "". I think this because a lot of things can happen if students do use their phones during school. Things can happen like cheating , bullying , & other kinds of things. I think i would like to bring my phone to school and text but we have to think about the other side , the "" what if "" . Here are some examples why the school cell phone policy should be policy 2 .
If you let students bring phones to school , maybe one of the students didn't study for a test he's spouse to take . So when he's taking a test , he texts another student who may give him the answers. This is called ofcorse , cheating. If this students cheats , he will not learn anything & he's not only cheating on the test he's cheating himself. Also if he does it then he might get other people in the class to do it to .
Bullying is a big deal at schools. Perhaps someone has a phone with a camera on it , & this person is near someone that they don't like or that they just want to ""play around with them"". So this person takes a picture of him\her and puts it in the internet and writes nasty stuff with it too. The picture can be of this person in gym ,changing or even at lunch eating. Not only can this person take pictures of other students . They can take pictures of staff members or anyone in the school. This will not make our school look good in any way. I learned when ever you post a picture on the internet it never goes away.
I think letting students use the phone will make a distraction to their education. It can distract them for studying which means bad grade on a test. They can be to attach to their phone and not care about anything else that is going on. A
And finally it can start drama. Teens hate drama , they try to avoid it a lot or some other teens may like to start it also but if someone student has their phone and starts texting her friend and gossips about someone else in her class, says something nasty and mean. This can cause a lot of drama , which can involve the school & even the police.
There's many ways having a cell phone at school may be a problem . I'm not going to lie it may be fun to be able to use your phone , but some people are not responsible enough. I think not having a phone in school , well not using your phone is school would be the best idea.
Thank you for taking your time to read this letter. I hope my opinion helps.

6F9173D54DD8,"Imagine you are a high school junior anxiously awaiting your college applications. One night you get home to find three college application letters. You are accepted into all of them, your dream school, an Ivy League and your local in state university. Before making this huge decision do you only talk to your parents, your friends, your teachers, alumni, or all of the above? Believe it or not it would be healthiest to ask multiple opinions before making your final decision. When people ask for advice they often talk to more than one person. A study found that talking to more than one person before making a important decision can help create the best one. Seeking multiple opinions can help someone make a better choice, because it highlights diverse perspectives, provides verification of other advice and can sometimes even stop a dangerous choice.
Seeking multiple opinions can help someone make a better choice by highlighting diverse opinions. Considering that I am only in eighth grade, I haven't yet been in charge of very large choices, however when I was entering seventh grade I had to choose whether I wanted to take seventh grade math or seventh grade math honors. At first, the choice overwhelmed me, I was worried that I would make the wrong choice. Then I started to get multiple opinions on the subject. My parents told me I could handle taking honors, my older friends told me the class had been easy, my teachers told me it would be difficult to skip a year of math. Ultimately the choice was mine, however without their different perspectives I wouldn't have been able to the best option for myself. Other people and other perspectives are a huge part of our world and our decisions affect their lives too, so our decisions should include their perspectives too.
Seeking multiple opinions can help someone make a better choice by providing verification of other advice. About a month ago, me and my parents talked about applying to a Generic_School summer camp called Generic_School. The camp was expensive but it meant that I didn't have to take a gym class freshman year. My parents said that if it meant that I could take another elective and it would make me happy they would love me to do it. I'll admit I was a bit skeptical, until my close friend told me almost the same thing. Having multiple of the same opinions can verify other ones and make you feel stronger about a decision. A study found that people normally feel stronger about their opinions if they have been told by society that it is a popular one.
Seeking multiple opinions can help someone make a better choice by stopping sometimes dangerous choices. Suicide prevention has found that before most people commit suicide they will exhibit signs, often by talking about suicide to loved ones. In most cases the suicide victim talks to multiple people. A recent study found that in cases where a person talks to multiple people, they have a greater chance of survival, considering someone might notice these signs. Like this, before making a dangerous choice, if you ask for multiple opinions there is a much more likely chance that you will get the help you need and create a better choice.
Seeking multiple opinions can help someone make a better choice, because it highlights diverse perspectives, provides verification of other advice and can sometimes even stop a dangerous choice. This means that when you have a big decision, getting multiple opinions is beneficial to ultimately making the correct decision.

Then you get the reader wondering how do we study a planet we can't even land on. The text states "" NASA's possible solution to the hostile conditions on the suface of Venus would allow the scientist to float above the fray."" Then the author compares that to flying above storms in airplanes today. This would allow the humans not to get hurt while testing Venus. The author has given the reader a good way to see how it would be possible for scientis to experiment on Venus. That is another way he makes it seem like a worthy pursuit.
Last of all he makes a point that this step would not just gain insight of the planet, but it will allow us to target bigger task.

This alows the reader to devolop a sense to what might happen after they experiment on Venus they will start on another dificult task.

0FC32E083BDE,"Why do people need advice? Typically it's to make the best decision possible. Now some people only ask for one opinion on their situation because it's easier to only listen to one person, but this isn't helping you make the best decision. People should ask for multiple peoples opinions instead of just one person. Different people have different ways of life, different ideas and opinions, and different experiences.
Everyone has a different way of life. One person might be rich while the other might be poor. Obviously these two people probably have different opinions on your situation. Any person could. Many people have different mindsets and different styles of living. One person might give up easily, while another pushes through. Then there might be a person who doesnt give up or push through, they find a different solution. The way you live your life alters your mindset. Thats why its so interesting to hear others advice and their opinions.
Everybody has different ideas and opinions. No one person is exactly like the other. My parents are very different from each other, but that's why I love getting advice from both of them. My mom is more of an pessimist while my dad is a realist. They have completely different outlooks on life, but both outlooks help me make the best decision possible. Although people can have similar ideas they are probably different in at least one way. So I encourage you to find advice in the diversity of two or more peoples thoughts.
Different people have different experiences. If you ask a person for advice they might not have gone through what you are going through. On the other hand if you ask multiple people you have a mix of experiences and maybe some that are very similar to yours. You get to have the option to listen to someone who has been through what you're going through and hear about what they did or didn't do. You can also learn about what regrets that person might have from back then and apply their experience to your own life. Even if you get advice from someone that hasn't gone through what you are their lives have formed them into who they are. They may have been through more than you know and their advice could be the best out of every ones. Just because everyone has a different life doesnt mean that they can't have similar experiences, and even if they don't have similar experiences that doesn't mean that they cant give great advice.
Some people only get one opinion on a situation while others get many. Multiple opinions is better than one though because everyone has different ways of life, different ideas, and different experiences. Next time you need to make a decision ask many people for their opinion.

And sometimes you have to have certain requirements to play ,and some people can't make those requirements. But theres also a due that people have to pay so thats why some parents don't let there kids play sports.
Finally the conclusion is that the principal should not make kids do sports or join a club ,because it is a hard time for the parents and the kids to do a sport and worry about a different thing. So some school should not make a students do something that they don't want to do. And the last thing I want to say is that you should never force a student to do something that they don't want to do.",,225,Mandatory extracurricular activities,Independent,"Your principal has decided that all students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity.

In the article it says ''Striving to meet the challenge presented by Venus has value, not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself, but also because human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors.'' Based on this sentence from the article I know that the author believes that studying Venus will better humans understanding of the planet and give them knowledge of its surface. According to the article the author believes that there is no limit to meeting challenges no matter the dangers and doubts. I know this because in the text it says ''Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation.''
The author says that NASA is working on other approaches for studying Venus which means they are willing to take the challenge along with the dangers that come with studying Venus. Because of this I know the author thinks studying Venus will better the future.

Why does the author even support studying Venus? Venus's main atmosphere my be over eight hundred degrees Fahrenheit but just above the cloud such as Earth there is a much calmer atmosphere. Thirty-plus miles above the surface, tempertures drop to around 170 degree ,but the air pressure returns to about the air pressure around sea level on Earth. Solar power would be plentiful and radiaton wouldn't exceed Earth level. Not easy conditions to live in but survivable for humans.
Finding another place to substain human life is a nessisary thing because of the growing population on Earth ,and the ever present threat of gobal warming.

53093659491E,"Dear Principal,
I think all of the students should be required to perform a community service project because it prepares students for a career, it helps them learn that making peoples lives easier can benefit them, and it teaches them to take after themselves.
Don't you just think it's annoying to not have much kids do the community service project just because they don't want to? All of the students, including myself should be required to do the community service project. My main reason for this would be that it prepares them for a career when they get older. A job has almost no difference between it and community service, the only difference is that a job you get paid to do. So if they do the project, why not give that person a reward? Every hour that they work with proof of doing so, he or she should get 5-10 pieces of candy every hour they work on the project, thus making the project like a career. And instead of only once a year, make this project more like a career by making the project a regular thing that you have to do every 2-4 weeks.
Also, this project might help them learn that if you make other peoples lives easier you can get benefits of helping. A student could get regular working hours on raking their neighbors yard for instance. If a student chooses to help someone they know it could build up a friendship with that person, they could start making money when they aren't doing the community service project. For example working at your dad's work scrubbing bathroom floors could earn you the respect of the people there and you get rewarded for your efforts.
Lastly, this project helps kids to do this kind of thing on their own. At your house your mom and dad make you do your chores when you get home from school, right? I think the community service project promotes the idea of doing these things without your parents asking you to do them. Also, it can motivate kids to get up and do their morning chores without the parent ever waking them up.",,359,Community service,Independent,"Some of your friends perform community service.

First, i say you should join this prgram because, you get to see people from different countries. You also get to expierence what its like to be on a cattle boat and meet new people that have joined the program as well. Maybe you might even get a special job on the cattle boat like being the look-out. You also get to be out on the beautiful sea.
Secondly, there are the opportunities of sight seeing, and exploring, you might also see ruins of places. Luke Bomberger got to go dight seeing a bit and see Venice,Italy while taking a gondola ride and the streets of the city were filled with water. You might even be able to go for a swim, now wont that be a splash.
It might be a long trip but it would be worth it. Its fun to explore and see new places so enjoy the opportunity while it lasts or just say yes and start your .

885BB9CEB593,"Understanding the exact emotion of a human being is a giant leap for the science community, and I say that we should use this technology in classrooms. The relationship between students and teachers is strong, but how does a teacher know that a student is paying attention or just lying to try and end the discussion sooner? Student faces are hard to understand by just simply looking at them, some could look bored but are actually paying attention or the opposite could be happening. Using such technology could improve the understanding of student reactions, such as helping the teacher know when to modify the lesson for the student to better understand, and it could even improve the learning of future doctors and surgeons taking medical classes.
Lessons in certain classes can be very difficult for every student to understand. Some are fast learners and catch on before others, others might need the lesson to slow down just to get a grasp on what is really being taught. Using the Facial Action Coding System could really improve the understanding in teachers of who really gets the lesson and can continue and who doesn't understand and just really needs more help. As mentioned in paragraph 6 by Dr. Huang, ""A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored... Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor."" Schools around the world are using technology more and more every day, so installing such a system to help understand confusion and boredom could be very useful for schools everywhere.
Doctors and surgeons need to know as much as they can gather from the human body, in which they learn all they know in classrooms. Having this system in classrooms could inprove the future of the medical field, starting by understanding which muscles control a body part and how the body reacts. Students taking these classes can use the program to learn how the face modifies itself to show emotions, from joy to sadness. As mentioned in paragraph 5, even artists such as da Vinci used anatomy to create art by studying how the face moves and shows emotion. Using this program can help doctors expan their knowledge of human anatomy rise to the next level.
Everyday, people use their emotions to express how they feel,and using that in the classroom can really improve relationships between the peers. Explained in paragraph 5 once again, humans use calculations to figure out how a friend is feeling, but we can't tell the exact muscle causing that emotion. Using such a system can improve relationships between friends and help people have a better understanding of how a person really feels.
Human emotions are difficult to understand all over the globe, but using this program in simple places such as the classroom can improve the atmosphere and make learning topics a breeze. Teachers could better understand how a student is reacting to a lesson and modify their teaching methods so everyone can understand. Students trying to get a medical degree can use the program to understand which muscles are used without having to disect a person or take years to learn something that can be found out in mere minutes.

D198D8C43AD0,"Introduction
Kids already spend there whole day at school, why do they have to do afterchool activities?
I think that students should not have to do participate in after school activities,Because school is very challenging already. Nevertheless it will cost them time out of homework,sports,and could lead to stress . kids have there own opinion too. In general after school activities should be a responsibility not a duty.
More Stress
Most kids in our age already deal with stress. Image what would staying after school to do something you don't like to do will do to most of the kids that are stressed out. More than 63 percent of people are stressed out in my age according to studies. Afterschool would just make It worse, mostly If you dont like any of the activities that they run. Finally I really disagree with this topic,because I have stayed after before in my school and I didn't really like it,I thought it was a waster of time,cause it ended at 5 and we get out at 2:15.
Lack of time
We all know that one excuse that we all have used before it's called ""I didn't have time"". To be honest with you I think that this would be a waste of time for some people,and super crowded. Mostly everyone wouldnt really participate cause they would be complaining that this is a waste of time. Also people might not take it seriously and skip it or find a way out of after school activities. In my opinion kids should be doing what they want to do like, watch TV,play sports,hangout with friends,and much more. It could also effect teachers plans and grading time and there whole schedule.
Conclusion
In general after school activities should be a responsibility not a duty. People in my opinion dont have to be force to do stuff they dont want to do. Kids also have stuff to do outside of school just like every other person. In conclusion I think this after school decision wouldnt work out because people would find ways out of staying after school.

5C9E6CCEAF57,"Sometimes when people are trying to make a decision they look to their peers for their input on the situation. Some of the benefits to looking to others for help is you will get a variety of opinions, more knowledge about the topic you're making a decision on, and different perspectives of the situation.
In the end this can make it easier to come to a final decision.
Getting opinions from multiple people can greatly impact your decision. Other people might think that you should deal with the situation a different way then what you were planning to do. this can open up your eyes to other options, you may decide that you like their suggestion better than what you had originally planned to do. Some people also might have already experienced the situation that you are dealing with, this will give you input from someone who has already been through the same situation, you can compare this with what you are dealing with. They would also be able to tell you how they handled the situation and how the people around them responded. From there you can use what they have told you about their experience and maybe do the same thing as they did.
Asking more than one person for advice can also help you make a better decision. Some people might have a lot of knowledge about the topic you are making your decision on. for example lets say you are trying to decide where to go on your camping trip. The first person you talk to could have only gone camping once but the fifth could have been going camping for years. This person would know a lot about camping and all of the different camping sites; which ones are good and which ones are bad. If you had only talked to that one person than you could of picked a terrible camp site and had an awful overall experience but because you talked to more than one person you ended up getting more knowledge about campsites and had a terrific time camping. Over all you are able to make a more educated decision with other opinions.
Getting different peoples perspectives is another benefit to asking multiple people for advice. The situation could look different from different perspectives. Talk to other people about what you think you are going to do, get them to tell you what they think of your decision from an outside point of view. Getting multiple people to do this will give you a wider variety of peoples perspectives it may help you realize how your decision will impact other people. which This will help you make a more conscious decision.
Concluding I think that looking to others for advice is a great idea, It will give you a variety of opinions, more knowledge about the topic you're making a decision on, and different perspectives of the situation. Other people may have been in the situation that you are dealing with and you would never know that if you didn't reach out and ask for help.
You also may not have realized the impact some of the decisions you are making impact on others.

This idea keeps you and some of your classmates out of trouble, also it helps you meet new people, and you can find something that interests you.
First, this keeps you and some of your classmates out of trouble. When there at an extracurricular activity there somewhere good instead of somewhere bad. Like in the movie Brian Banks, if he was at football practice instead of with the girl he would've never went to jail. The people your hanging around in your activity are going to be good people, so you don't get drawn into the badness. Instead of going to detention your in your activity so you keep out of trouble.
Next, you get to meet new people. If you're shy than this is an opportunity for you to make new friends. You can also meet somebody that is good in a class that you're not good in. For example, say that you're having trouble with writing and you you meet somebody that has an A in writing, you can ask them for help so you can have an A in writing also.
Finally, you can find something you may be interested in. If you go into an activity that you've never done before you might come out of it wanting to come back to it the next day. Also, you may find a job that you're interested in related to the activity you did. For instance, if you do pictures for the yearbook then when you got older you might want to be a photographer.

Posner, the authors of the article discuss the pros and cons to having an electoral college. The citizens of the United States would be more pleased if the electoral college stayed as opposed to it being ebolished.
To begin, having a electoral college will be better for the nation and people.
for example, the article ""In Defense of the Electoral College: Five reasons to keep our despised method of choosing a president"" the article states ""A dispute over the outcome of an Electoral College vote is very possible- it happened in 2000- but its less likely than a dispute over the popular vote."" this claim provides a true statement on reasons why we should keep the electoral college. This statement means that disputes are less likely with their method and their is a certainty of an outcome.
Although keeping the electoral college is a valid idea, there are some problems associated with keeping the electoral college as well. Of course, there are difficulties with in the curcumstsance where we keep the Electoral Collage opposed to disspose of it. the article ""The Indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong"" by Bradford Plumer, Plumer made several claims opposing of the electoralcollege, such claims include ""At the most basic level, the electoral college is unfair to voters"" and opinons like ""Its official: The electoral college is unfair, outdated, and irration"". While Plumer did put his point across as to how the system is unfair we must take into consideration how it is more reasonable and appropriate, in ""in defense of the electoral college: five reasons to keep our despised method of choosing the president"" the article states that ""The Electoral College requires a presidential candidate to have transregional appeal"" which is fair and less stressful.
in summary, the best option would to keep the way things are rather than changing things up and and creating a more stressful, unorganized system. Although Plumer made accurate claims as to some of the faults in the system, there was far more proof in keeping the electoral college and keeping things the same.

CAC42EC32F44,"Have you ever forgotten to do your homework because of distractions at home? These same distractions apply to online classes. If students attended classes online, it would not be beneficial because it is difficult to focus, it is difficult to afford, and it will make you dependent.
Taking classes at home is very distracting. Everybody has distractions at home, whether it is electronics, family or your pets. Electronics are distracting to students in many ways, for instance: your phone is a great example because it can be used to communicate with anybody. It can also be used as a gaming device which can be pretty addicting to some people. Family is distracting to students also. Many students in high school have a younger sibling who can be very distracting because they require so much attention. Some students may have a bad relationship with their family. This can lead to stress and anxiety which will make it hard to work at home. Pets can be distracting for example: if you are a student taking an online course and your dog needs to be walked, this will take away valuable learning time that you most likely paid for. This leads to my next topic which is money.
Students who are less fortunate can not attend these classes. Online courses usually cost money to maintain. These courses can be very expensive and students who are less fortunate would not be able to afford to take a class. Students should not have to sacrifice their own education due to low income. Schools can provide students with laptops but they can not provide students with internet. Although it may be easier to work on a computer, many students can not afford them. Laptops can be easy to lose or to have stolen and are very expensive to replace. Schools should keep teaching on paper because it is affordable.
It will make you dependent on electronics in the future. Students who grow up using a computer their whole life to learn will become dependent on it. A computer can teach you many things and can also do your work for you, but the best way to learn is to have a hands-on experience. The easiest way to figure out something you do not know is to search it up on Google. This will make learning much harder because you have a computer that can give the answers to you. Nothing teaches you better than your mistakes and you will not see advancement if you have something doing your work for you. These online courses take away the opportunity to work with others in person.
Schools should not introduce online courses because they can be distracting, expensive and dependent. As a student who has grown up in poverty I find online courses harmful to society.

10D09AB4D6C7,"Extracurricular activities have been a controversial topic of discussion for decades. Parents, teachers, students, and principals have felt the need to express their opinion on the implementation of extracurricular activities. I attend Generic_School, a place where students have many extracurricular activities to choose from, all of which take place after the school day is over. Some choose to attend and others choose to abstain. I partake in them occasionally, but I tend to go home once the final bell rings. That was before my principal decided that all
Generic_School students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity, whether it be sports, yearbook design, student council, or something else. This decree has denied the freedom of choice to not only me, but hundreds of other students at my school with regards to extracurricular activities. I strongly disagree with the decision of my principal on this matter because forcing students to participate in extracurricular activities exhausts students and tremendously decreases the time that a student has to complete schoolwork assigned to them.
Generic_School students should not have to regularly participate in extracurricular activities because rather than giving students time to relax, it depletes their energy. Generic_School students are tired as it is. To understand how fatigued they are, allow me to use an example of someone who is exhausted without the addition of extracurricular activities to their schedule: me. I wake up at 5:50, board my school bus at 6:30, attend school from 7:30 to 2:15, get home at 3:00, and do homework for four hours before eating dinner and going to sleep. Add three hours to the mix and I am going to bed at 11:00, giving me only six hours to sleep. Not seven, not eight, not nine, and certainly not ten. Following a routine where there is only time for six hours of sleep decreases concentration, slows thinking, damages memory, and can even stunt growth during puberty. Generic_School students cannot simply adapt to the new conditions. No middle school student can. That is why Generic_School students should not have to chronically attend extracurricular activities because it hurts students more than it helps them.
Generic_School students should not have to consistently partake in extracurricular activities because rather than giving students a sacred time and place to complete schoolwork, it massively decreases work and study time. At Generic_School Middle School, there is a particular extracurricular activity called ""Generic_Name's Work Zone"" or ""WWZ."" WWZ is a place where students are able to sit down and complete schoolwork. Those that attend for the sole purpose of doing work choose to do so at Generic_Name's Work Zone rather than at home because WWZ is a silent work area, which should aid concentration. The problem is that most Generic_School students who attend do not come there to do work or to study but to instead play games which can distract those who are trying to work. Trust me, I know from experience. I could not do more than 30 minutes of work before being sucked into my cell phone. WWZ lasts for an hour, only half of which I used for work. That is why I stopped going. However, I do not have that option anymore now that I must participate in at least one extracurricular activity and somehow make time to work without being distracted, however difficult it may be. That is why Generic_School students should not have to routinely attend extracurricular activities because it takes work and study time away from them.
I strongly disagree with the decision of my principal because forcing Generic_School students to participate in extracurricular activities wears them out and decreases the time that a Generic_School student has to finish assigned work. First of all, extracurricular activities melt a student's energy and can negatively impact a student's health and well-being. Second, extracurricular activities lead to students being distracted, ultimately depleting work and study time. Extracurricular activities were supposed to be a way to help students complete work, come to school happier, and get better grades. However, force-feeding extracurricular activities to Generic_School students will not produce the desired effect that my principal hopes it will, and that is a fact.",,685,Mandatory extracurricular activities,Independent,"Your principal has decided that all students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity.

34B565833A33,"Summer projects have always been a sticking point for students and teachers alike. The battle has raged on for years about if summer projects are an effective way for students to learn, or if they are just a waste of time. Most students do not like summer projects at all because they aren't designed for the student specifically. Instead, teacher's design a project that they think will satisfy the most people in a given class, and for that reason my position is that summer projects should be student-designed. This is because it gives more tailored assignments to fit the students wants and needs, it lets them explore something they may be interested in, and it lets students choose their own workload.
Rather than designing a project specifically for one or two people, the teacher's goal is to make a project that is designed to be completed by an entire class. While this is less work for the teacher and students, since they are not creating their own assignment, it has many drawbacks. For one, it is very likely that what the students need and what the teacher thinks they need don't line up. This causes conflict between the two groups, with students coming to hate summer projects because in their mind, it's just another generalized school assignment for them to finish up at the one time they feel they can get proper rest. It also causes conflict between the student's current teacher and their teacher next year. These teachers are very likely not working together to make a summer project, so your teacher next year could completely disregard the project that the other teacher gave, and you would have done all of that work for nothing. If it was a student-designed project however, not only would it be something that the student is actually interested in and wants to work on, it would lessen the workload of the student's teachers, as they have one less thing to worry about in their giant pile of stuff they have to do. On top of that, the project can be fitted to that student's wants and needs, by removing certain sections that they wouldn't be able to remove if it was made by a teacher. They can also add their own spin on the project and do it the way that they want to. Those are just a few examples of how a student-driven project can be adjusted to fit them specifically.
For many teacher-designed summer projects, students are usually given one topic to work on. Students do not have a choice: whether they like it or not, they have to work on that one topic. With a student-designed project, they get the freedom of choosing their own topic. This opens up worlds of possibility for that student, as they can now choose something that interests them, not their teacher. This is very important because many students note a major lack of interest in summer projects, so this could be a way to get students more involved. Of course, this subject has to be in the scope of the class. For example, you can't work on a project about the anatomy of a polar bear in a US History class because that topic has nothing to do with US History. So while students aren't given complete freedom with their topic choices, they get a lot more than if the teacher made the project. That's why its important that students work on something that they're interested in.
Teacher-designed summer projects are designed to be finished in one way only. Usually, there is no room for students to cut a section out or do the project a different way because if they don't follow the teacher's instructions then they could lose points for it. With a student-designed summer project, the workload and structure of the project is chosen by the student, not the teacher. This means that students have more power to change the assignment in a way that they believe they can finish it more effectively and churn out the highest quality project that they feel that they can produce. They also have more power when it comes to revising and editing their projects, as they have no guidelines set by the teacher on what they can and cannot do. For those reasons and more, control over workload is a valuable asset for students that is only had with student-designed projects.
In conclusion, summer projects may always be a sticking point for both students and teachers, but there are ways to improve things on both sides. That was is through student-designed projects. Because they are tailored to the students, are interesting to the students, and allow students control over their workload, they are the far superior way for summer projects to be done. It may not be the perfect solution to an issue like this, but it is far better than teachers deciding what they feel is best for students. Teacher's may think they know what is best for their students, but at the end of the day the students have lived with themselves their whole life, while their teacher has likely known them for less than a year. The student knows themselves inside an out, while the teacher gets a surface view of that student. Something needs to change, and the only people that can make that change are me and my fellow students.",,897,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

54C2B6E93C2F,"In the passage ""The challenge of exploring venus"", the author talks about the studying of venus and it's worthy pursuit despite its danger. The author evaluates and supports this idea by stating facts . He talks about the planet and gives examples.
While giving examples he asks questions for you to think about while reading the rest of the passage.
The author supports his idea that exploring venus is a challenge by stating that no person who has landed there has lasted more than a few hours. Which is proving why it is a challenge because it is dangerous . Although it is the closest planet from earth the passage states that ""not a single spaceship has touched down on Venus in more than three decades"". Venus is 800 degrees Fahrenheit and a thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus. That can kill you at any moment because you can burn to death and you are breathing in bad air.
The author states that ""These conditions are far more extreme than anything humans encounter on Earth; such an environment would crush even a submarine accustomed to diving to the deepest parts of our oceans and would liquefy many metals"".
The author is saying that yes earth is dangerous and that we could die here but going to venus is a bigger risk and could kill everyone that went. But, if we only send two or three people up they could see how dangerous it is . If they survive they would be able to tell us what equitment we would need to go back up there and study safely.
""If our sister planet is so inhospitable, why are scientists even discussing further visits to its surface?"" The author is stating that scientist are putting peoples lifes in danger and are not finding diffrent way to study this planet. The author also states that ""The value of returning to Venus seems indisputable, but what are the options for making such a mission both safe and scientifically productive?"" The author is simply asking if they will try and come up with a safer way to study venus than just keep sending people up who obviously are not going to make it.
NASA has been studying different and safer way to study Venus. It may be able to help scientist study Venus a safe way and not kill multiple people. In the passage it states ""For example, some simplified electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of Venuss surface and have lasted for three weeks in such conditions."" This supports the author by saying that the challenges are bad but there is also can also be a solution is people try hard enough. It also can help scientist study Venus the safe way.

A47EBEEF081E,"Summer projects can help students continue learning during summer break. However, there is a debate on whether they should be designed by the teachers or the students. I think they should be designed by the teachers for several reasons: teachers' experience will help them create more engaging projects, teachers will know what their students struggled on throughout the year and will be able to address those topics in the project, and teachers will assure that the project is on the student's grade level.
First of all, teachers have way more experience creating assignments than students do. This superior knowledge will help them create a project that will go deeper than the surface level, which students might not be able to do if designing their own project. This more in-depth project will be more engaging in the students and should help them learn better over the summer break.
Second, the teachers have been with the students for at least a year. Throughout the year the teachers have been seeing what topics students are doing well in or what topics they need more help with. If a student is struggling in a area, then the summer project should be about that topic to ensure that the students jumps back into learning prepared. If a student were to design the project them self, they would want to make it about easy topics or topics they are already good at, not the ones they really need help in. Having teachers create the projects will ensure that the most needed topics are covered and will help students get back to learning with less confusion.
Finally, If a teacher designs the summer project it will definitely be on the student's grade level. While a student might be able to create a project that they would enjoy doing or is engaging to them, they will most likely make it easy for them self which will hinder their learning. A summer project should challenge the student's knowledge on their grade level, and only a teacher can ensure that that happens. A on grade level project will properly challenge the students without being to easy or to hard which studies have shown to be more effective for the students learning.
Overall, summer project should be constructed by teachers and not students because the teachers can make the projects engaging, specialized, and on grade level. Students will learn better over break, come back to the classroom with less confusion, and will learn more effectively. While it might be fun for the student to design their own project, students should be given the best possible opportunity for learning and only a teacher can guarantee that. That is why teachers should design summer assignments rather that students.

So for us to be able to do that we must do what some countrys are already doing..... Limit the amount we drive our cars.
In Vauban, Germany they have given up their cars. Vauban's streets are clear of cars, even clear of parking spaces. There are only two places to park, a large grage at the end of the development, where you have to pay $40,000, along with the price of your house. Experts say that this is one of the first real major ways peopl are trying to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions for cars. In the United States, in car-intensive areas, cars casue up to 50% of all greenhouse emissions.
Also, in Paris they had to ban driving because of the smog. Because of the amounts of pollution there was Paris inforced a partial driving ban in attempt to clear the air of the global city, there was a 22 fine($31). In Paris, close to 4,000 drivers were fined, and 27 cars were impounded for over reacting to the fine. Bogota, Colombia, has ""No car day"", whic millions of Colombians found other ways of transportation such as hiking, walking, riding bikes, or public transpot vechials. The goal of their ""No car day"" is to promote alternative transportation and reduce smog. Violators faces a $25 fine. ""It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution,"" said Carlos Arturo Plaza. Also, two other colombian cities joined ""No car day"" Cali, and Valledpar. ""These people are generating a revolutionary change, and this is crossing borders,"" said Enrique Riera, the mayor of AsunciÓn, Paraguay.
The number of miles driven peaked in 2005 and dropped steadily after, according to research as of April 2013, the number of miles driven per person was near 9% below the peak and equal to where the country was in January 1995. Just shows the we as a group are starting to relize what effect we have on our enviroment.
iDeas such as theses lead me to belive our beauitful Earth will live on if we all agree to drive less and use other ways of transport. its not that much to ask of you, if its a beauitful day out grab your bike not only well it be good for you but also for your enviroment.

2D624D740570,"I think that limiting car usage is great for the environment. There are a lot of benifits that come from it. If we use car less then greenhouse gas emissons will decrease and thus cleaning the air of smog. Some of the benefits that limiting car use is that: 1. it decreases poisonous smog, 2. lots of cities in the world are doing it, 3. and last but not least it could promote other ways of travel. Its about time that the world start changing some harmful habits.
To start of, Reducing car use is very effective when trying to get rid of smog. In some cities such as Paris, smog is a big pollution there. In Paris they even went head to head with Beijing,China which is known as one of the most polluted cities in the world. Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of this globally known city. by enforcing this, some days cars with even numbered license plate could drive. The next day odd numbered cars could drive. If you were caught then you were fined. so by paris doing this congestion was down a whopping 60% in Paris after just 5 days.
This would cut down greenhouse effects tremendously. So far reducing car use sounds pretty good.
Furthermore Paris isnt the only place in the world to do this. Bogota,Colombia in a program that's set to spread to other countries, miliions of Colombians either hiked, bike, skated, or took a bus to commute around the countriy to their destination. This is known as a car free day. This car-free day left the streets of the capitol void and empty of rush hour traffic. Even the U.S. goverment is considering the international event that is also helping the environment at the same time.
Another thing to reduce greenhouse gas is if people would find a more alternative way of transportation. City buses could count as an alternative,because think if a bus could seat 30 people. Think if all 30 people had their own car, then the emisson amout would substantialy increase 30 vehicles rather than 1 vehicle . Other ways of transpotation are things such as bikes, skates/skateboard, or just walking. none of those alternatives release any type of emissions.
In a way not using cars sounds great in many ways,but there are those people out there that rely on the usage of cars to transport themselves such as anyone with physical handicaps. Maybe this is the start of something new but what happens to this earth is all on us so it what we dicide to do with it rather we wont it to last or we can just let it go and lose the one planet we have left.

E680D448BBA4,"Everyone always say ""listen to your heart"" but getting opinions from others on a topic is better then thinking of ideas yourself. Advice is really helpful for people who have a hard time making decisions and people who struggle to think of somethings on there own. I think that seeking multiple opinions is a good options because it can impact your decision on a topic, you can compare both of the different view points, and you can combine all off the contrasting ideas to create one big and great thought.
Peoples advice can change your perspective on a certain topic. When thinking of what you will eat for dinner to deciding what college you want to go to, just one person can change you mind on your decision. I am going into high school next year and picking out my classes is extremely difficult and not easy to go through alone. Thats why I be sure to ask my parents and close friends ""Should I take honers biology?"" or ""What electives should I take?"" I get there opinion on what I should do and it really helps impact on me making a better choice.
Whenever I have a hard decision to face I usually get multiple opinions and compare my ideas to theirs. I ask my mom, dad, sister, and close friends how they feel about my viewpoint. I then take what they say into account and compare all the the different viewpoints to find the flaws and specialties about them. This is a great method for me because everyone has a different opinion on somethings and hearing what other people have to say about my topic really gives me a lot of perspective when deciding.
Getting a numerous amount of different kind of viewpoints, it can be a lot to handle and take in, but adding all the good word from your peers can help you make one good decision. For example your faced to decide what book to get for your English project. Your best friend says you should get a fiction book but your mom says you should get a book about dogs. Your probably saying ""Always listen to your mom!"" but instead of throwing out your friends idea you can combine the two opinions and wined up getting a fiction book about a cute little dog.
I do believe that seeking multiple opinions is a good option because it can impact your decision on a topic, you can compare both of the different view points, and combine all of the opinions to get one big idea. So what if your faced with a decision you dont know how to handle it. These three different ways can help you when coming to make hard, frustrating, and confusing decisions.

First thing is that scientise have to overcome the many dangers of Venus.

Then scientise have to find a way to make their machine last longer.
Do to how the temperatures on Venus are ""800 degrees"" and the machine would be melting to the that kind of heat. NASA is working on a solution to that problem by testing different type of meltal like a ""electronics made from silicon"" have lasted three weeks in a ""simulation of the chaos of Venus's surfaces."" NASA have also look into ""old technology called mechanical computers."" ""These devices make calculations by using gears and leavers and do not require electronics at all"", so they would better for the suface of Venus.

It also not so good towards the principal. It would make me feel forced and oppressed to do this activity. I'd feel obliged or it feel like a chore more than fun and intriguing. The principal look like a tyrannical ruler to the students.
Also it called
EXTRA
curricular activities. Infecense on extra which means not reqiured or more time. It should be our own time to use however we want and not to be consumed by these

I am writing this essay with the porpuse of desagreement with the idea of providing this ""benefit"" to the students, this is a way of making students lose interest in school because they might think that they don't have to take the conference every time and they willl think that they can do it whenever they want which gives to think that they aren't prepare for making good decisions when it comes with schools classes. In my opinion this is an opportunity that the schools gives to the students to drop out of high school considering that students are teenagers and they don't have the same amount of responsability than adults in most cases.
As a student I desagree with this option. We need to be able to communicate, create good group work, and meet people and I can assure that most of the students will ended up leaving this classes when they half way done. Being with more students make classes fun, helpful and even more interesting, students sometimes needs to have a adult teaching them and having a conversation face to face instead a computer taking to them.
Taking classes online is a benefit when you know how to manage time for example: My brother is a college student who is getting his master degree in Genetic Engineering some of his classes wasn't a requirement that he had to take them inside school so he decide to take them online so he can have more free time when it comes with work and school. He made a study plan which consist in spending one hour each day so he can focus on his online classes which helps him to study for every single of his classes.
My friend Generic_Name is a senior on high school and she decided to take two of her classes online so she can have enough time for work, school activities, and graduation plans. She has been overwhelm with all her activities and assignments which it made her drop out of one of her two online classes, she said she felt like she couldn't do it by herself which it made her start getting bad grades in her school classes. Later she decided to take those classes in school so she can have her classmate help her in case she get stuck in a topic. I think this opportunity can make students get stuck and give up on school which it can't happen because we are the future.

99F1B5CB9A4E,"Dear Senator,
I think the Electoral College works very well and it is very organized. As stated in the passage ""What Is The Electoral College?"" it states that the founding fathers established it in the Constitution as a compromise between election of the President by a vote in congress and election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens. This compromise is very important because it was created by the founding fathers. It should remain at it's place and it shouldn't change to popular vote elections.
Popular votes can most likely end up in a tie and it turns into a crisis. The Electoral College can also become a tie, but it normally does not happen. Also popular votes are not used an it is not organized nor established. The Electoral College was created by important people. The Electoral College is a slate of electors those are what the people are voting for. I think this is good because the electors are proffesional trusted people. Those people will know what candidate is better for the people.

I don't think its right that your changing the school policy. Are school has had the same policy for the longest time and now you want to go and change it. I don't care if I get in trouble, and I don't mean that disrespectfully, but your wanting to here my opinion on this situation and i'm going to tell you.
Why must students have at least a grade B average to participate in school activities and sports?
Are school was just fine the way it was. Most of the students here are very smart athletically and academically. But now your telling the students if they want to join any sports or activities they have to have a grade B average. That's going to be really tough on many of them. What if there's going to be a big test on Friday and a big basketball game? What are the students supposed to do? They can't stay at home and study they'll get kicked off the team if they don't go. But they can't just go to the game because then they'll bomb the test and get a grade C average. And if that happens then they'll still get kicked off the team. Then you never know there's a good chance that either they'll stop trying at school work and fail or try harder. Do you want to take the chance though? I know i wouldn't.
So, I think in my opinion and most of the other students you should keep the same old policy. Keep it at you have to have a grade C average to participate in any school sports or activities. We all liked it that way. If you decide to take my advice and keep it the same then i'd bet that we would have the best school athletically and academically.

Besides the fact that youre releasing toxins into the air driving is also dangerous and you can harm other people if youre not careful. There should be limited car usage for multiple reasons. It is much cheaper to ride a bike, in some places when you own a car you have to pay seperatly for a garage to put it in and you also need to buy a car and cars are not cheap. Riding youre bike places is better for the enviroment and will save you money that otherwise would have to be pent on a car and putting gas in it. Also if there is limited car use then the green house gas emmision could be lowered. Another reason is that people who are driving are likely to be tense and when you're on a bike you could be much happier than driving a car everywhere.
When you own a car there is alot of maintnence that goes into the car. Also when you own a car you need to put gas in the car. In places like Germany there are very few places to park a car and they also have to pay to put it into a garage. Owning a car could be a very costly deal and it would be much easier to ride a bike down the street to the market or other places that you need to go.
The green hosue gas emission in the United States is up to fifty percent. Driving cars everywhere is ruining our enviroment. We need this earth to last as long as we can and polluting it is not going to help us. Riding your bike places is an efficent way of transportation it may not be the fastest but it will get you where you need to go without polluting our earth. Driving cars is not only polluting our earth but it is also killing people, irresponsable drivers that drive under the infuence have killed dozens of people. Riding a bike is much more safe.
It is said that allot of people are tense when they are driving and that giving up driving has made people much happier and less stressed. When you give up driving you also give up the stresses of driving and makes you hapier.

39AD2FCCD35E,"I think the principal should require community service. This is because if teaches life lessons and it is good for the community.
To begin with, I think the principal should require community service. This is because it teaches life lessons that will help you in the future. For example, I volunteer for community service at a place called PET. This stands for Personal Energy Transportation. It is an amazing thing to do. You build all-terrain wheel chairs for handicapped people all over the world, but mostly in third world countries. The wheel chairs have three wheels and are designed to go through deep sand, over sharp rocks, and up and down steep inclines. In this workshop, it teaches teamwork, and makes you more mechanically minded. It is also a very courageous, bold, selfless thing to do and it will really change someone's life. Another example is that people sometimes down want to do certain activities because their boring. With required community service that will have to do things that they normally wouldn't do. By doing these things they build character and self esteem. This will help them in the future with doing homework, getting into a good college, and even with wanting to do community service again. This is why our principal should require community service.
In addition, I think the principal should require community service because it is good for the community. It help the community in times of need. For example, when you are driving down a busy road or highway you see people throwing bags, cigarette buds, and even clothes out windows of their cars, not worrying about were they end up, in sewers, on the sides of roads, even inside animals. There are some types of community service that actually pick up all this trash around a city. This is important because it teaches character and it makes the city look better and more professional. Another example is that it community service could help other people in the community. There are elder homes where people drop off their elders that can't take care of themselves and people take care of them there. Some workers use this for community service or that is even their job. It can help you in the future to teach you how to take care of elderly people and it even help the community so the people that work out in the city don't get slowed down by having to take care of them. It could also make the elders feel wanted and feel comfortable in a new home. This is why our principal should require community service.

1287FB93CF6F,"Dear Principle
I think that it would be a really good idea to make students do community service because, they can learn a lot of things in life, it will also help them with meeting people in life. You should require students to complete students to complete about a total of 30 minutes of community service per day. They should have to do this for a grade kind of like reading logs that are due weekly. Here are the reasons why i think they should have to do this.
The first reason would have to be about learning life experiences they could learn about how bad some people treat earth and how much litter is all over it. They could maybe start a anti-litter group. They could get kids that are in the group from all over the world and, they could even get those kids to help clean up earth.
Another reason is that they could help tutor younger kids or help out in elementary school and help out the teachers. This would also help them in life they might get a since of pride knowing that they might have just changed a little kids life. They might even want to become a teacher when they get older.
My last and final reason is that they might also be able to volunteer at a vet. They could help save a animals life. I know a lot of people that love to be with animals and take care of them. They might grow up to love animals and maybe become a veterinarian.
Those are my 3 reasons on why i think you should require high school students to have to do community service.

75852347F2EF,"I think that driverless cars aren't an appropriate idea for this time period. There are multiple reasons why I believe this. We would need to do a lot more developing on roads, we would need to put an abundance of sensors in the car, there would need to be new laws made, and there's no practical use to a driverless car.
Firstly, there are very few roads in America, let alone Indiana, that would be suitable for a driverless car. Many roads have unexpected twists, turns, and dips that no sensor would be able to make a fast enough reaction time. If the sensors stopped working, or if there wasn't a fast enough reaction time, it would cause multiple wrecks. If we had to fix a majority of the roads for driverless cars, taxes would go up to pay for it. Nobody would want to pay that kind of money, especially when most people wouldn't be able to afford a driverless car.
Secondly, there would need to be an abundance of sensors in the car. Sensors aren't necessarily a bad invention for a car, but people shouldn't solely rely on them. Multiple things could go wrong with the sensors, sometimes without the driver or car even knowing. If the driver doesn't know that a sensor isn't functioning, they could be relying on it to mimic them at the wheel. Multiple wrecks could happen this way, and the only person to blame would be the driver with the driverless car, because they're the car who had their sensors malfunction.
Thirdly, there would be too many laws that would need to be changed and added. Paragraph nine says, ""Presently, traffic laws are written with the assumption that the only safe car has a human driver in control at all times."" A human driver is needed to make these laws and to enforce them. There would have to be new liability laws, and there would be conflict with the manufacturing company. Technology is the not the subject that should be at fault in this situation. The person who should be at fault is the driver, because the driver would be putting themselves, and everyone on the street at risk for driving a car that they are not in control of.
Lastly, there's no practical use for a driverless car. Driving is a privledge for young adults and adults. People are not given the right to drive, but they're given the privledge. There couldn't be anything more important for a driver than to focus on driving. If driverless cars are released to the public, what would people do while their car is being driven? They could sit on their phones or do something that wouldn't be worth their life or someone elses. Manual cars have been around for an abundance of years, and they've been doing just fine.
To sum this up, I believe that driverless cars are not worth the risk, or money, in people's lives.

I have been Home Schooled for 2 years during Middle School and it really helped me focus and improve myself in so many ways because I didn't feel like I was feeling constantly stressed, i worked on my homework and school work more which also helped me develop the skill to get it done in a timely manner and not put half of the effort into my papers and Research. Research shows that 71.8% of student that are home schooled have a pay of $20 dollars or more for there starting job.

63714646F1F4,"Dear Principal,
You have changed the policy of the school so that students can only play sports if they have a grade B average or higher. I think that you should highly recommend changing this policy back to having a grade C average to be able to play sports. I have a few reasons for this suggestion ,and I hope you see this situation from a different perspective.
First of all, our sports teams here at our school don't have that many people participating in them as it is. Most of the students that are interested in the sports have a grade C average. If you make it so they can't play we might not even have sport teams. The kids would be outraged and so would the parents.
Second of all, if we change the policy to a grade B average I think that it would cause students' grades to drop. There are students who want to play sports who are struggling as it is to get their grades to a C average. If we bump up the grade average, there will be some kids who are motivated to get better grades, but others, who are already struggling to get a grade C average, to give up. It could increase the good grades or it could diminish them. Do you want to take the chance?
Lastly, if we have no sports teams, the popularity of our school would go down. Without a sports team we would be losing kids who are athletic. Losing kids in our economy could cause the school to shut down. Students would then have to go out of their way to get to a different school. There would be no public transportation available for them, kids who walk to school would not be able to get to school because it would be too far away, and parents who take their kids to school would be using more gas. We should be trying to conserve gas, a limited resource.
In conclusion, I think that changing the policy would only worsen our school academically and in sports. Keeping things the way they are could push the athletic kids who are struggling with grades to strive to be on the team without thinking it is an impossible task. A loss of sports teams could cause school popularity to drop and threaten the closing of our school. Please consider changing the policy back to the way it was before so that we don't have to worry about what could happen. We know how our old policy works, and we know that it works well. We don't know what could happen if we change the policy. Please, don't take the risk. Th

09AE5FE4E4D9,"Were you ever in a situation where you didn't know what to do, so you asked for someone else's advice and or opinion? If so, did you seek the opinions of multiple people or just one person, and do you think seeking the opinions of multiple people could help someone make a better choice? I believe seeking multiple opinions can help someone make a better choice because you get to know about different peoples experiences, you know about more possible outcomes, and you gain more knowledge about the whole situation.
Asking multiple people for their opinions or advice will benefit you more than just asking one person. I think asking more people about a decision you're making will help you make a better choice because maybe they were all in the same situation as you, and they could all offer advice that will help you in different ways. Different people will give you different pieces of advice based on their personal experiences, and it may not be the same for everyone. You will also be able to hear about more peoples experience's, which should help you be more prepared to make a choice. Before I started middle school, I asked my older cousins and friends about which classes they recommend. I listened to multiple peoples opinions, and decided which classes I should take. I couldn't take all the classes everyone recommended, so I took the classes that more than one person recommended because they had similar experience's that were all good.
Listening to different peoples opinions and experiences will inform you about more possible outcomes. Everyone that offers you advice could tell you something totally different, and that just tells you about how many possible outcomes you should be prepared for. Before a big test I ask my friends that have already taken it about how it went, and if they think I should prepare more by studying a certain topic. If my friends scores surprise me then I can infer that the test was either very hard or very easy. Asking more than one friend will also help me make a better choice on whether I should study a certain topic or not.
Seeking someone else's opinion will also help you gain more knowledge on things you might not know much about, but seeking multiple people's opinions will help you gain even more knowledge than one person alone could provide you. Having all that extra knowledge should definitely help someone make a better choice. Before my cousin went to college she asked many people on what major they recommended for her. Many people told her about their majors', and how it went for them. Since she asked so many people for their opinions it helped her learn more about different majors, so she could make a better choice about what major would be best for her.
It just makes more sense to me for people to seek the opinions of multiple people to help them make a better decision. I believe seeking multiple opinions can help someone make a better choice because you get to know about different peoples experiences, you know about more possible outcomes, and you gain more knowledge about the whole situation. It also never hurts to ask people for their opinion, and if you want to make the best choice possible it's best to ask different people for their advice.",,560,Seeking multiple opinions,Independent,"When people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person.

55B0C90197A0,"Imagine you are looking for some advice and you need someone to talk to you, that's where your friends and family come in. There are lots of people to give you advice in life or school such as your teachers, family, friends, etc. Seeking multiple opinions from different people can help someone make a better choice because they give you facts and more choices for you to choose from.
When the people you care for give you their opinions of advice to choose from, one of those opinions could be the right one. Sometimes life can be difficult and confusing, that is why you have people around you to guide you through the right way. Let's say one day you want to commit a crime and your family finds out, they will give you the right advice and talk you out of it. Every one of your friends will need advice someday, whether it's at school or at your house, and you will be the one to give them good opinions to help them make a better choice. For example, you have a friend who needs a way to study better and she thinks the best way is to cheat, well, you need to talk some sense into her and tell her to get a study buddy or hire a tutor. Cheating is never the answer, there is always a way to help someone make a better choice before they regret doing something that could get them in trouble. When people ask for advice and you give them multiple opinions to help them make a good choice, those opinions also make them better people. However, there are some people in the world who will convince you to do the wrong thing, and you can't let them fool you into making a bad decision, this is why you ask more than one person because there is someone who will tell you the correct thing to do. A good example would be that your friend encourages, convinces, and influences you into stealing a $5,000 car and if you didn't do it, they would never talk to you again, even though you know what you're doing is wrong and illegal. Finally, your best friend tells you not to do it because you know what the consequences will be if you do steal the car, and your opinion made her realize that she is choosing the best choice which is not stealing the car. Your friends and family will always be there to give you great opinions to make better choices.
Everyone you go to for advice will not only give you their opinion, they will give you the facts, as well. The facts are the most important part to making a better choice because opinions are just what people feel you should do, the facts tell you what is gonna happen if you do the wrong thing and what'll happen if you do the right thing. For example, lets say that you want to say mean things to your teacher because she didn't answer your question, but if you do say mean things to her you know that you'll either get in school restriction, suspension, or you'll get expelled, so since you know these facts, you know that it is wrong to say those things and you will not do it. If anyone ever needed advice, you'd have to give them facts, too, not just opinions because letting people know how you feel may not stop how they feel they should handle stuff. Lets say that I really want to buy a new video game but neither of my parents let me, so I steal cash from a wallet that fell on the floor and use it to by myself the video game. Then, my mom sees me steal money from the wallet and tells me what she thinks I should do, but I don't care what she feels, so I buy the video game with the $20 I stole. Since she didn't give me the facts of what would happen, which is going to jail or to court, I bought a video game with stolen money. When you do something that is bad, you always regret it, and look back to the facts your friends/family told you, and wish you had listened to them. Another example would be you needed to make some money, so you're selling a concert ticket you found in your moms purse, which is illegal and you've been warned not to do it again, and you got caught by the police again. The policeman takes you to jail, then your parents bail you out, and after all that, you wish you had listened to the police the first time, and when your mother warned you to stop doing it. This is why facts are super important when it comes to making a better choice because you look back and wish you had made a best choice.
In conclusion, I say that seeking multiple opinions will help someone make a better choice because if you ask a lot of people they will make sure that you make the right decision and it will also make you a better person. Remember, if someone asks you for advice, you have to give them the facts about what'll happen if you make the wrong decision, and lots of ideas on what to do. There is always someone to help you, and like I said before, lead your friends and family down and through the correct path.",,919,Seeking multiple opinions,Independent,"When people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person.

D5FC154349CA,"Dear Principal,
So it is widely known on the school that you are planning on changing the school policy so that only students with a grade B average will be able to participate in sports or any other activities. I don't know if you are aware or not, but their is a wide variety of students at our school that have only but a grade C average. It wouldn't be fair to those working hard to maintain a steady grade, even if it is difficult for them, because they want to play a sport or take part in an activity. Changing the school policy would only apply more pressure on students to do better in their academics. Some people would go to the extent and could make it, but school isn't always easy for everyone. For example, let's say a student who enjoys playing football is working hard to maintain his grade C average, even though algebra is difficult for him and the time he doesn't spend on the field practicing, he spends at home with a tutor. Now let's say you do end up changing the school policy, algebra is still going to be difficult, he might even need to spend more time with a tutor, and he's going to have to spend the time he would usually spend on the field, at home with the tutor. Some students might not even be able to meet those requirements, activities wouldn't be as full, there wouldn't be as many people playing sports.
On the other hand, this school policy change could help out students. Since the grade average requirement would be bumped up from a C to a B students are definitely going to have to work harder. This could help out on the school's overall academic scoring. There would be more B grades than C. Since students are willing to work up to a C grade average just to play sports or be involved in an activity, they would probably even work up to a B just for the privilege. Sometimes you may just have to give students something to work for, something to make the struggle worth while, and that prize in this case would be sports and any extracaricular activities. So in the long run, this may help out not just student's grades, but their self confidence in being able to set a goal for themselves, and reaching that goal through hard work and determination. Whatever choice you make, I'm sure our school would benefit from it either way.

Dear TEACHER_NAME,
I understand that as an experienced teacher you may see that many students are making a C average, but does that really mean that you have to take away our sports and activities? There could be many young athletes that you don't even know exist, therefore you should not take away the privileges of young future athletic scholars.
These sports also could relieve stress for some of the students. By you taking their ability to relieve stress away they may even do worst in school and you're going to wonder why. I believe that students who score at least a 75% should attend sports, but by making only B average attend is not fair in my eyes. These students may have a lot on their mind minds as far as school comes , but there are athletes sitting right in the classrooms not doing anything , BECAUSE they cant attend any athletic activities.
I do understand that as a principle you may see something completely different. Just think about if you were a student, how would you feel if you got the only thing you love to do taken away because you have a 79% percent? This is why I argue that students should be aloud to attend any sport they'd like because they have a 75% average or higher in all of they're classes.
All in all please consider not making this a required rule.

D569BD3E20CD,"Good advice can be hard to find. People tend to ask a few members of their family or friends for advice. Why do they do that exactly? Well here is why.
Have you ever asked for advice from someone and then use the advice you got? It could be good, but It could also be bad. You could feel betrayed by the fact that someone trusted could've given you bad advice, but maybe they just couldn't relate to the situation you were in. That could lead you to the next question,"" Then why didn't they be honest about the fact that they didn't have the best advice you needed"". Well maybe, they just wanted to help because they care. Maybe they just want to grow a deeper connection between the two of you. Whatever the reason is, you shouldn't just seek important advice from one specific person unless you really trust them.
Well, if you shouldn't just ask one person for advice, then you should ask many right? Wrong! You can't just ask any random person about advice for your problems. You should always ask members of your family or your trusted friends. Maybe they won't always have the best advice for you which is why you can ask the next person. I myself am religious, so I often pray to the Lord. I find peace in the mind that way, so I then find my own advice. But no matter who it is you should always multiple people for advice because once you have, you decide on what is the best advice for you and hopefully it is the advice that works out in your favor. If it is the correct advice, the connection between you and that person is strong.
Asking a few people for advice is a great thing because friends and family are supposed to be there for you when you are in need. And when you get all the advice you need, don't be too hasty to make decisions. Instead, think it over because advice can determine friendships, relationships, tough decisions, and more.

AE1EA7A93322,"Summer assignments are important to help students continue learning over the summer. This is why these assignments should be designed by teachers, rather than students. This is due to the fact that teachers are going to assign challenging projects, which most students would not; additionally, teachers may use this assignment as a way to prepare the students for the following year.
Everyone wants to enjoy their summer break, go on vacations, and chill at the beach. Summer assignments are a great way to put a pause on the fun. Knowing this, students are not going to purposefully give themselves a challenging project that could benefit them in the long run. They would create assignments requiring the least amount of effort and time in order to get back to playing videogames or tanning on the beach. This defeats the purpose of the summer assignment because an easy project that does not challenge you will not continue your learning throughout the summer.
Additionally, this may be a great opportunity for teachers to help prepare students for the type of assignments they will be recieving the following school year. Students are unaware of what to expect, so they cannot prepare themselves adequately. Teachers have also been with these same students all year and know what they are good at, and what they need to work on. Assigning them a summer project may help these students work on their weak points, and gives them plenty of time to improve before the next school year.
Some may argue that if students are not actively trying to challenge themselves, then they are only hurting themselves. However, many students likely are not sure what type of project would benefit them best, or are unaware of what they need to work on to improve. They also likely assume that they do not need to be challenged or believe that they are already prepared for the next school year.

If we make it a requirement they tend to buckle up and do it. What im am trying to get at is that kids always need a push to succeed and if they do this and complete it i will be not only a push but a good start to there future career's.

6398767E04C4,"In my opinion I think cell phones shouldn't be used while driving because it has a big impact on the people. It has bad causes such as people getting into life threatening wrecks and people can't just focus on the road. People use them to text while driving and they thousands die because of it every year. It has a terrible impact on today's society because we can't put phones down.
Phones are not good to the public because people can't focus on the road and the environment surrounding them. Even though you can call the authorities with a swipe of a finger, they are the reason they get into the wrecks. I feel like if you have an emergency you should pull over instead of stopping and causing a wreck. People just don't think about the outcome of using phones while driving. People only don't have to look out for themselves but other drivers.
Phones not only distract us from the road but from our day to day life. They distract us from spending time with our families and friends. It also distracts us from watching movies. It distracts us from just the good moments we have and share. Phones are a very distracting thing to our lives and they need to be put down for a bit so we can have some actual time to ourselves. Everyone sticks to social media now and it just isn't good.

You think for a split second, dribble in, and shoot. The ball goes through the hoop and the whole crowd goes wild. Bursting with happiness, you walk outside as your sister comes up to you and congratulates you. She then heads off to figure out a plan for the new yearbook cover for her school. You smile and wave back at your friend as they head out the door as well. They begin ruinning to get to the student council meeting to work on the new environmental plan. As your brother shuffles onto the court and makes a funny face at you, you begin to laugh as you make your way to watch his game. Activities like these are sure to keep you busy at times, but extracurricular activities are a fun way to get away from all of the bombarding school work. I agree that students should participate in extracurricular activities because it helps students get creative in and out of school, keeps them healthy, and helps them gain great life skills.
I agree that students should participate in extracurricular activities because it helps students get creative in and out of school. Activities require students to come up with new ideas. Basketball, baseball, and soccer all require you and your coach to come up with new plays. This helps fake out the team in order to score. On the other hand, yearbook requires you to collaborate and come up with a new cover so the yearbooks stay fresh and up to date. Extracurricular activities also require you to think outside of the box and problem solve. Although, student council needs problem solvers in order to keep the school running smoothly, certain subjects in school also need new ways to solve equations, such as math.
Students should take part in extracurricular activities because it can keep them healthy. Certain sports require lots of running including basketball, baseball, football, and soccer. Other sports such as swimming require you to be in shape which means you have to keeps your body moving. After school activities can also improve someone's happiness. Doing something that you love is sure to put a smile on your face, especially if your around friends that support you. School is also extremely stressful at times and many people need a break. Being around supporting people and focusing on another subject other than school can relieve school. The activity helps you get your mind off of something, like school, that may be bothering you, which is a comforting feeling. This can put your mind at ease.
I believe students should be apart of one extracurricular activity because it helps them gain great life skills. Throughout the weeks, months, or years students are doing an activity, they will learn basic time management. Students will have to make a schedule to fit in school, the activity they have found they enjoy, and piles of homework assigned to them. Time management will help later in life to make it on time for work or any other event. Another skill they will learn is competition. Many students will compete with one another in an activity. They try to beat one another by being better, which helps them improve in that activity. Competition will help them later in life when they need to compete for a job that other people are interested in. One last skill students will learn is communication skills. Collaboration and communication is a key quality students will acquire in yearbook, student council, sports, choir, band, or a club. Communication is a quality most companies are looking for in an employee. If students have these skills, their rate of being hired increases.
In conclusion, I believe that students should be apart of extracurricular activities for the life skills they can gain, the creativeness they can achieve with their minds, and to stay healthy.

27ACC3AD950F,"Dear principle,
I do believe all students should be required to perform community service.
If everyone works together to clean the community, or help someone do something then this community would be a much better and cleaner place. It also build character. It teaches you that helping can be a good thing, and maybe people would help more.
If we helped do something, like tutoring, more kids wouldn't have to be held back. Plus, it would give them self confidence when answering questions in front of classes. They would feel better about themselves and get better grades.
The community could be a cleaner place if we all worked to together to clean it. It would give children a safer place to play, and a safer place for pets, such as dogs and cats. We could help keep garbage out of rivers, therefore not polluting our water. We only have so much water and when it's gone, or extremely polluted to the point that you cannot purify it what are you going to do then?
Once we run out of recourses they are gone and we can't get them back. We have to help save the community and maybe it will make a difference in the world. We need to keep land clean, first of all so it will look nice, and secondly because it will help people appreciate what we have and maybe will want to help out too.
It you don't require community service for school then at least make it for extra credit in certain classes, so those of the kids that would like to help the community can and get a little bit of an reward for it.

Using cars in major cities makes it so noisy but also makes it very bad for the environment, and ourselfs. When you live in a major city like for example New York City, people choose to walk rather than drive cars. Not only is this healthier for us but it is much more healthy for the rest of the environment.
In suburban Germany there is a town that has banned cars from the street completely and has most people riding bikes and walking. Most of these people dont really car so much about having to walk or ride a bike. In Colombia they had one day where they banned cars and in their city of 7 million people, most people walked or rode bikes. Germany and Paraguay arent the only nationd that are taking a part of this, other nations like France, and other eurpoean countries are joining in.

7C9973669356,"Dear Mr. Senator,
There are many ways to go about elections of any kind, as you may know vey well seeing that you have been in one or more yourself. This country is about the will of the people supported by their government to excel and achieve the various goals they may very well have. Voting is one of those insintives people revieve, and how it is set up is an important part of that. We should keep relying on the Electoral College to succeed in keeping our country a democracy.
Having the Electoral College is a safe way to ensure that all people in every state get to voice their opinion while still keeping in mind the majority as a priority. As stated by author Richard A. Posner, people vote for a slate of electors, not the president, whom are entrusted to vote for the presidential candidate they represent. The number of electors is determined by the population of the state, which basically means the number of members in that state's House of Representatives and two for the Senate, as stated in Source 1: What Is the Electoral College? This ultimately would provide fair numbers for the overall count without making the smaller states feel insignificant.
Even with the smaller states being fairly included people argue that candidates do not pay attention to them and disreguard their overallvotes so we should switch to popular votes. These accusations may be true in a sense but what is to be expected if they dont account for as much or maybe they are already accounted for as ""decided"", as stated by Richard P. Would you campaign in a place like that? Especially since having elections be decided by popular votes could result in run-off elections to which no clear winner is evident, they would result in a tie, as included by Richard A. Posner. Having a tied election would end up giving the HOR overall election power, as presented in Source 1: What Is the Electoral College, so their arguement is not considerate of all possibly outcomes.
All in all, sticking with the Electoral College seems to be the best bet for our democratic country. Electors are trustworthy, with few faults, and the system is set up in a way that is fair to all. Keeping this system just making elections easy, fair, and helps to prevent ties and future headaches for all whom are involved ",,404,Does the electoral college work?,Text dependent,Write a letter to your state senator in which you argue in favor of keeping the Electoral College or changing to election by popular vote for the president of the United States.

623F199799BB,"Do you think the Facial Action Coding is 100 percent valuable and correct? In my personal opinion I say no. I have three reason that can explain why this technology is not valuable. I could be frowning and be happy ,but showing a sign of joy. Don't always trust technology; it sometimes can lead in the wrong way. Im amuse that people are relying on technology to lead them in a direction that could be wrong.
In the article it said "" For instance, you can probably tell how a friend is feelging simply by the look on her face."" That's very incorrect because many times I'll ask my friend how she is feeling when she looks grumpy. She would say im good with me not knowing that because me thinking her facial expression is saying something different. People ask me all the time whats wrong with me when; I turn out to be just chilling. Some people natural look might just be a mug. I learned that the hard way its so very true.
Trusting technology can give you false information. I remember this time I sprained my foot. I went to the doctor to get in x-ray and the x-ray information was showing that nothing was wrong with it for a period of time. Although, im glad the doctor knew what he was doing ;he then figure out that the inner of my foot was spained. The bone was slightly bent and I needed time to heal it and recover. It sounds like the Facial Action Coding System is like a x-ray machine.
I understand that the Facial Action Coding System is a use of technology. With that being known we can believe that the technology want always be right. You can get stuff off the internet thats not true information, but yet it's a source of technology. Many people just go to get there information off of wikipedia for a research project. You never know if the stuff is true because any one can edit it. So you can compare the Facial Action Coding Sysytem with gettig information off of the internet these are both sources of technology.
Is it a possibility that the Facial Coding System is valuable? Yes but I wouldn't put all of my trust into it. Just because im frowning don't assume that something is wrong with me. Or if someone just has a mug as a look don't think that their mad. It can come back that your wrong. Believeing that everything with technology is true is very false.

Excuse me but what i would like to say is that it would not be right if you change the requirements. Say that you would change the requirements what do you think would happen well let me tell you briefly. What would happen is that mainly everyone maybe even the most smartest people in the school have had a ""C"" average. So changing the requirements would pretty much get rid of almost every person in the sports teams. If you were to change the average requirements then you would pretty much be getting rid of every team including, The chess teams, Math teams , and every other scholastic team there is in the school by changing the requirements i would think that you are just giving up on your school. i have to say not everyone can maintain at least a ""B"" average it is very hard and just look at your students records that will tell you everything that i was just explaining. Mostly all of the students here get a ""C"" once and every while what you have to do is just be patient with everyone and at least try to consider the possibility of making the average to ""C"" if this happens you wont be sorry.
Having this brief argument i hope that you have learned that you are not just getting rid of your teams you are getting rid of your students and that is the complete truth from all of the students. but also it would also be an issue with the parents because some of them pay so much money just to see that their kid is not going to be in the activity because of just a little bad grade i hope that you see that and that sometime you may change it in the early present while you still have some chance of gaining your students trust and respect again.

8EBD2CC376A9,"Have you ever heard of the process of electoral college? As stated in paragraph two of the article source one ''does the electoral college work?'' by the office of the federal register it is a process in which the selection of the electors,the meeting of the electors where they vote for the new upcoming president and vice president, and the counting of the electoral votes by congress. Many citizens or congress men are for and against the electoral college process. I am in favor of keeping the electoral college because they are chose, not just how much the voters like them but their cababilities so more modern. Also more reliable.
To begin with, I am in favor of keeping the electoral college because it is more reliable than election by popular vote. When you vote for the presidential election you help select your state's electors when you vote for president of your choice because when you vote for your candidate your actually voting for your candidates electors. As stated in paragraph six in source one. Also these electors aren't just every day people they are carryfully selected to take place in these events. For example, you walk into your local precint to vote on the fourth year on the tuesday after the first monday in november. You enter your voting booth and vote for the president of your choice, so you think. You are actually voting for your states electors. so thats one of the reasons why we should keep the electoral college.
In addition, I am in favor of keeping the electoral college because it is more modern,accurate and reliable. Most people vote for the president of there choice becuase of what they say theyll while in presidency, or how good they look, rescent experince, and how much they like that perticular president. Do you really want some one who knows nothing about the president of thier choice but how good they look,to vote for the the next leader of our country. As stated in paragraph eight in source one it states that the electors represnt our vote and choosse president accordingley. For example, a women walks into her local pricent and decides to vote for the president that looks better that isnt an ancurate vote cause she just voted for the president she likes and what if want to run this country into the ground. so thats why I am in favor of keeping the electoral college.
To conclude, because the electoral college is more reliable and more accuerate is why i am in favor of keeping the electoral college. So on that fourth year on the tuesday after the first monday of november you go into to make your vote make a wise choice and remeber your voting for your state's electors.

42CE598E99CA,"As technology and online resources are modified and advanced, distance learning can become either a tool or a weapon. For some this option can be beneficial, but for many, it can hinder learning and social skills that are promoted in a classroom environment. By allowing students to access their classes online through distance learning and video conferencing, growth may be stunted and life skills are likely to not be used. Students should not be able to attend classes from home, however beneficial it may seem, as this does not promote communication and social skills, and does not provide them with the proper tools to learn classroom material.
Distance learning often means at-home students do not have to interact with peers. Online classes do not promote the proper social and life skills that are learned in an actual classroom, and things such as communicating with others and being able to voice issues are not priority. When I'm in my public school classrooms, I have to be able to interact with my peers when working on group projects or doing a class activity. Once, I wasn't able to come in for a class project, so I decided the next best option was to video conference in to help discuss and share my thoughts. It was so difficult trying to understand how others felt and how I should respond without being in the classroom with my classmates. Being able to be present with others, like in the classroom, helps me to process and communicate my thoughts better. If I was to do distance learning instead, I would not have the skills necessary to communicate and articulate my thoughts, as these skills take time, practice, and development.
Online conferencing is another way to attend classes from home, but is not a viable option in the long run, as teaching in the classroom is not the same as learning online. Being present in the classrooms means that students are able to ask questions and get help on problems. The process of asking questions, getting help, or understanding the material becomes much harder once the material is being taught online and the teacher cannot help you through the steps as thoroughly or efficiently as in the classroom. A personal example of mine is one of the online classes I attempted my sophomore year. It was a sociology course, completely online, and one of the hardest and least beneficial courses I had taken. The material for this online class was dense and difficult to comprehend, and I had so many questions that the online workbook could not answer. After extensively researching and trying to teach myself the material without avail, I decided to try one more thing before giving up. I went to my history teacher, who had some knowledge of the sociology course I was taking, and asked for help. After a few hours of in-classroom help, the content finally started to make sense. This is just one example of how distance learning is not a viable or beneficial option for students, as teaching is meant to happen in a classroom face to face, not through a screen or online platform.
Distance learning does have its perks. Students who have trouble with social skills or get anxious can escape the intimidating presentations and harassment from peers. Bullying often happens in public schools, and the argument for online learning is that this anxiety and harassment could be evaded with classes devoid of bullies and standing in front of the class. Although these points are valid, the method to correcting it is not online learning. I've dealt with online bullying much more than in the classroom, as students tend to find comfort in their keyboards. By allowing students to attend class online, bullying, like what I've experienced, can manifest much more quickly than in the classroom. Cyberbullying is becoming more and more common, and online classrooms and learning provide the perfect forum to hide behind a screen. As with social anxiety and fear, it is a real issue, but the means of solving anxious students' problems does not come from letting students be afraid and take online classes, which does not develop social skills. Online learning is good in theory, but it does not benefit the student overall.
In summary, the key to developing communication and social skills is being in the classroom to learn. Being in the classroom means students can get direct help from teachers and peers, and can work on the everyday life skills that students use outside of the classroom. Online learning is not a beneficial way to develop as a person or a student, and attending classes at home does not aid in the growth of children. Once these points are understood, distance learning becomes not a tool, but a danger to social skills, learning and growth.

It should be legal to drive a driverless car, not only because it could prevent accidents but because sometimes we get distracted when we know we should be focous on the road.

They could think that the car is going to do everything for them and in the worst case the car doesnt react that there's something wrong and it crashes, what if the teenager dies, shouldn't the teenager had to controlled the car even though he knew it could control itself? People with a certain level of maturity should be allowed to drive driverless cars.
Driverless cars could be so helpful if the right person is on the wheel. The driver should always concentrate on the road, no matter if their car is driverless. It could change society if they actually used them right. Traffic would be different, we get stuck into traffic sometimes because a person drives too slow, because a person drove too fast and caused an accident, and many other reasons and with driverless cars it could sometimes prevent this, not all the time but it would lower the risk of getting in an accident. Manufactures should try to improve them at their best, not only because some people wouldn't use them right but because people sometimes messes up too.
Driverless car would be the best to improve a lot of things such as traffic and accidents. If the majority of US had driverless cars, things would change for the better. They are helpful with the right drivers and with the right laws. Not every company should be allowed to drive them but companies that are being supervised and companies that are trustable. Only responsible people should be allowed to drive them since they would actually just be using the help of the car and not using the car to do everything for them.

BE126D453657,"Making decisions can be hard sometimes but it can become quite easier when you go to others for help. I've came up with a couple of reasons and examples to why it is better to ask more than one person for help when you con to a bump int he road.
Everyone has thought of different strategies to do an activity so why not go see things from others perspective. Here's an example of what this might look like. Lets say it almost 1 in the morning and your out with your friends and you were supposed to be home by 12am. You guys were just jamming to music while driving to go get some food. Your phone starts ringing and you realize that it was your mom. You panic so u just let it ring. She called a couple more times after so you turn to your friends and ask them what you should say. Everyone said to not worry about it and just relax besides one person. He told you that you need to answer here and at least tell her that you are safe and where your going. He has been in the same situation before and chose to do the the wrong choice and regretted it later when the cops were searching for him.
Asking more than 1 person can also give you more verities to chose from and give you thought that you never would have. Imagine that you are planning a surprise party for one of you family members that are moving from a different country. You don't know what they are interested in so you go to family members that have met them before and ask questions like, What's their favorite type of food? What activities do they think are fun? Etc. By the time the move you will have plenty of options for the food, party theme, games, and music!
At the end of the day, asking for help from multiple people isn't a problem because you never know what kind advice you might get in return. Just know that it all comes down to you to decide who you would rather listen to. And who can trust.",,363,Seeking multiple opinions,Independent,"When people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person.

3C26EC679114,"With the advancement of technology and increased accessibility of the internet comes many possible positive changes. One of these possible positive changes is distance learning: a way to attend school from home through online conferences. Some schools offer this new way of learning, but should more schools transfer to this method? Schools should implement distance learning into their curriculum because it will benefit students by being extremely convenient, providing a comfortable setting, and creating a safer community.
Distance learning is very convenient. Say someone misses a school day because of sickness. Well, with distance learning, said student could still catch up and follow classes through online calls. It would be as if that student was right there alongside the rest of the class. Many schools in Asia have switched to online learning due to the Coronavirus outbreaks and high chance of being infected. Online classes are very convenient because these students are able to use the power of technology to continue their studies. It's also convenient for teachers as they do not have to stress about make up work or students needing to catch up. Sickness may be a one time thing; what if someone has a physical disability that makes it extremely difficult to travel to different places? Online classes is extremely convenient for a person with disabilities because not only do they not have to worry about traveling, they can learn from the comfort of a familiar place like their own home.
Comfort plays a big role on determining how well a person does. It is common knowledge that people perform better in a familiar, comfortable work environments than one that is uncomfortable. When discomfort is taken out of daily routines, the energy used to combat discomfort would instead be used to focus on something else. For example, my mother cannot sleep soundly anywhere that is not her own bed the first night because she isn't used to the bed yet. This leads to not enough sleep. However, if it was her own bed, she wouldn't have had to worry about discomfort and instead the energy that would've been used for feeling uncomfortable would be used to sleep well. Similarly, the comforts of a student's home and pajamas will yield better grades because the energy they would've used to get used to a different setting and time used to put together an outfit would be used to pay attention in class and understand new class material.
Online schooling is a safer alternative to going to school. It is safer for the environment and for students. Schools are trying to go paperless to help the environment but if school itself is online, not only is paper being saved, but pollution will decrease due to the lack of school buses, cars, and other means of transportation. With the doom of climate change approaching, anything should be done to at least postpone it, online classes are one way of doing so. Benefiting the environment indirectly benefits students, but a way that online classes are directly beneficial is violence in schools would decrease. With everyone safe at home, bomb threats, school shootings, and other forms of violence would decrease, if not disappear, entirely. The extermination of school-related violence would make students more eager to learn because they do not have to keep their guard up at all times; once again, using that energy to good use: studying.
Online schooling is an incredible way to utilize technological advancements to good use. The convenience of technology is unbeatable and making school online would make everyone's life easier. Comfort plays a major role in making staying at home and learning convenient. Online schooling is especially beneficial because it is so much safer. Though there will always be benefits to in-building schooling, school through online calls and conferences will always be superior and beneficial to students due to its convenience, comfort, and safety.

45AE96545D1A,"Seeking multiple opinions on an issue helps people make the better choice in a situation in many ways. Hearing multiple people's stances in a situation helps make the solution clearer. Therefore helping someone make a better choice.
For example, advice is more credible when given from multiple sources. If many people give you the same advice the odds of it being correct are greatly increased. For instance, when someone has an issue and many trusted people believe in a solution, their opinions are almost certiainly the best option. In addition, it can help you find the better solution to have multiple people confirm that it is the best option in the situation.
Furthermore, multiple viewpoints can help you better solve the issue at hand. Having input from both sides of a spectrum can help you find out what is better to do in a situation. In other words, a multitude of opinions can help you find a middleman of sorts to resolve the issue. Additionally, in some cases having multiple viewpoints can cause a realization that will please both sides.
Finally, multiple pieces of advice gives you the chance to have other advice in the case that one is wrong. Before making a decision, if you are given bad advice you have the opportunity to hear other opinions and correct the mistake. It can also help if you are given a bad opinion and have other input to help you realize which is the best option. Plus, when given multiple opinions you will allways have other advice to fall back on just in case.
In conclusion, seeking multiple opinions on an issue can help you find the best choice in someones situation. It can confirm the best option or even help rule out the bad ones. Any way you put it, asking multiple people's opinions is way more likely to help someone make a better choice than just one person's opinion.",,317,Seeking multiple opinions,Independent,"When people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person.

CED03E44340E,"Are you ever in that one situation where you have to make a difficult decision and you don't know which option is the right one? Seeking advice from others is one of the best ways a person can make a mindful decision. Advice from others can do this by giving different approaches to a problem, relieving stress, and prepare a person for other future choices as well as motivating others. In addition, it's entirely free!
Most people who are involved in making important decisions usually do not call on others for help and are statistically proven to make choices that they later regret. This is mainly due to the fact that people who only listen to their own advice often lack perspective. Perspective from others can help give the decision maker more options and give a clearer view of which decisions are not the best to make. To no surprise, advice from others is the best way a person can use those viewpoints to their advantage. Not only do more options open up to the decision maker but they will also have enough evidence or support to lead to their final decision. Eighty-Nine percent of people who took the advice from peers or friends and looked at a situation in a different viewpoint than their own arrived at a better decision than those who listened to only themselves. Thus, advice from others can lead to more beneficial viewpoints than the advice from one's self.
Majority of the time, the decision maker will stress more and more the longer they try to think of the best choice to make. This is especially true to adolescents when they are a few years away from adulthood. However, relieving this stress has no simpler solution than from the helpful words of fellow advisers. Those who give the advice won't usually understand the stress the decision maker is going through which is why most of the time their advice can be all the more relieving to the decision maker. Just like stress, calmness can also build up within a person which results in smarter final decisions, not the stressful and thoughtless ones. The loss of stress can also find people working more efficiently and calmly. Although, a person can feel the stress within them, they usually intend to ignore it and don't realize the negative impact it has on their decision making. Others could easily notice this and would address this with practical but relieving advice so that the decider may focus on work rather than their conflicting emotions.
Advice from others doesn't necessarily mean it's for one decision. It can be used for future ones and even inspire a decision maker to give it to another. Statistics show that ninety-one percent of those who received advice from others applied it regularly for other problems. Of those nine-one percent of people, around eighty-percent of them shared it with others. These statistics are groundbreaking and show the vast benefits multiple opinions can have on someone. Not only that but advice from others can get people out of the habit of having a closed mindset and offer them new opportunities. From the beginning advice from others has played a big role in shaping the present and will continue to do so for the future. This is only possible however, if people are willing to be less stubborn and listen to others for a change rather than only themselves.
In conclusion the points from above show that advice from other provides many benefits and opportunities which can lead to better decision making. By looking at a different perspective they can identify the most beneficial decisions. Advice from others also relieves the decision maker of the traumatizing stress that builds up within them. Finally, others' advice can help you and others make better future decisions. Remember, the greatest gift from your friends is the influence and advice they have.

CE921B4F91EE,"Dear Principal,
Community service is a very important thing. It helps things to get done quicker and easier sometimes. It can sometimes help others less fortunate than you are. Community service can educate children to be less self-absorbed, and more caring about others. I believe that community service should be mandatory for all students at this school.
All students should have to do community service because it could teach us to be more responsible, which would help out a lot when we got older. Having to do community service would kind of be like having a job. You have a certain thing that will be expected of you and certain times you are suppose to be there. Making students aware of this would be better prepare them for the future when they do have a job. Giving students tasks, community service jobs, would teach them to be more responsible. They would have something expected of them, and also something they would be in charge of.
Although some students complain about not wanting to do community service, it would be helpful to everyone in the long run. Most students do not want to do community service because they just think it is another chore to do. However I think that after the students began there community service that they would realize they were making a difference, and helping somebody else out. A lot of children do not realize the bad things that happen around them, when it is not directly to them. For example Hurricane Katrina was a terrible disaster that left behind a big mess. If students were to help clean up places like that they would understand that community service is very much needed.
Also most of the students that do not want to have to do community service are for their own selfish reasons. They do not want to waste time on it when they could be doing something else. But they do not realize the help they could give to other children who are less fortunate than they are. Community service should be required from all students at our school. It has so many advantages to it. Students would gain a lot of knowledge from having to indulge in this experience. Community service would be a valuable thing to get ready everyone get ready for life when they are older. That is why I think community service should be required on our school.

704B7078F568,"One of the largest sources of pollution around the world is transportation, such as in automobiles being used in everyday life to get around from point a to point b. Many cities and countries are trying to find ways to decrease the amount of smog and pollution caused by car edmissions. People are finding ways such as banning cars or even having days where a car is not allowed to be used. Finding new ways to decrease the greenhouse effect is a revolutionary way by starting out with automobiles, since it plays such a great factor in many peoples life everyday.
In Vauban, Germany a community has a limited restriction toward cars. Cars are only to be parked in a garage on the edge of the development with a payment of $400,00. 57 percent of residents have sold their car to live in a community where no cars are allowed. Residents claim to be more happier and have felt tense with a car always around. This effort to decrease the number of emissions and now only has Europe responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas, as in the United States it is resonsible for 50 percent. Numbers are dropping in Europe which leads to a healthier enviroment to live in.
Another way,that Cities in Europe have started to take part is, banning cars off the streats of Paris. Paris has a large portion of smog than other European Capitals. Congestion was low during the five- day period that automobiles where banned off the streets of paris. Within the five-day period public transportation was free to get people places. The results of this car banning was a success to clear out the smog which is a risk of endangering a person's health.
Other countries such as Colombia have cities that have a car free day. Bogota is a capital of seven million that have people partcipate in a car free event taken every year. Businessman Carlos Aruto Plaza has claimed that it was a ""good opportunity to take stress and lower air polllution"". Rain also doesn't stop millions of people from partcipating in this event to reduce traffic jams and pollution. This campaign is enticing municipal authorities from other countries to start this revolutionary change that soon may be the future.
Also,car production is steady decreasing in the United States due to less young people getting a drivers licence. Young people do not bother on getting a licence or a car because they have public transportation or either car pool with friends. It has led a 23 percentr drecrease of young people on the road. Not many people go out to meet their friends and rather do it via internet, since technology has been increasing and is another part of daily routines. Cities such as New York have been taking part in a bike-sharing program to reduce traffic in large cities. These new ways to decrease pollution are still being tested but it seems like less people will be off the road and more engaged in less traffic.
Decreasing driving is a major priority to decrease smog around cities and the greenhouse effect. Having car free days and banning cars promotes healthier lives. It decreases the risk of having health problems and stress which can have major effects on one's well being. Supporting communities without automobiles and car free days results in living happier lives. Traffic has decreased and people are left happier breathing in less polluted air.

The district, home to 5,500 residents, showcases how suburban areas can be more compact, accessible to public transportation, and less car-dependent.

477B00F899E2,"Student-designed Projects Encourage Learning
Summers can be boring for students, especially when homework is assigned. Students have creative minds and a variety of interests which can be specialized to a topic of interest; however, schools tend to assign a generic assignment to all students despite their differences. Summer projects are intended to enable students to continue learning and exploring the world through a lense of their interest. Therefore, allowing students to design their own summer projects allows for their interests to spark, their creativity to grow, and their areas of knowledge to expand.
Firstly, student-designed summer projects will allow for every student to specify the project on his or her interests. Every child is different and shows admiration towards different subjects in school. If teachers design the summer project, the students will lack incentive to explore an area of interest as that has already been done for them. Additionally, teachers will attempt to design the summer project in a way that it applies to all students; however, not all students think alike. For example, most middle schools conduct science fairs that allow kids to explore an area of science that particularly interests them. This allows for children to research heavily into a subject and even enjoy doing so. This not only sparks an interest for science, but it also allows students to show off their abilities and specialize in their talents. This science fair analogy can be applied to summer projects because children will develop their admiration towards an educational topic and will enjoy the learning process. This creates a positive incentive for learning despite it being summer.
Secondly, if students are enabled to design their own summer projects, creativity will occur and develop. When teachers design projects, students are incentified to simply follow instructions and do as they are told. This results in surface level researching and a lack of interest in actually learning and retaining knowledge. This is understandable as most students do not enjoy a generic assignment that does not apply specifically to their interests. However, if students were given the opportunity to design their own project, they could research a subject that sparks their interest and creativity. This will lead to a deeper understanding of the topic and will result in a better quality of summer projects completed over all. For example, refering back to the science fair analogy, most students will become creative and design their own experiments if they are given the opportunity to do so. Most students enjoy being given the freedom and trust to become creative and show off their interests.
Lastly, when students return to school after summer break, they will see a variety of interesting summer projects completed by their classmates. The student-designed projects allow for a large variety of topics to be explored, and will benefit the students intensely. If all students, for example, have the same assignment, they would be less interested in their classmates projects as they would all be generically similar. However, if the students have the opportunity to design and conduct their own research into their favorite topic, then the students can share each others interesting new insights with each other and spread their knowledge. This increases students admiration for learning and will inentify them to study something interesting for their classmates.
In conclusion, allowing students to design their own summer projects allows for their interests to be explored, their creativity to flourish, and their areas of knowledge to expand. Schools tend to fail to recognise that each student is different, and that he or she requires different learning styles in order to be successfull in learning. It is vital that students are given the opportunity to become creative and explore an interest that is dear to them. If this is not prioritized, schools will continue to foster the idea of simply following instructions.",,634,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

Will the company of the car help you or give you another car or maybe even pay what is costed for the whole situation? Probably not. Its not worth making or even buying one of the driverless cars.

Driverless cars can cost up to millions of dollars or even more. Driverless cars sound like you need to get one and leave the old one. The fact that the driverless car may be really expensive is ridiculess. Only famous people can afford it. Maybe other weathly people can. Not just anyone will be able to afford the car.

Putting this policy into action lets the students know that we will not settle for C's, nor should we. The student body needs a wake-up call, notifying them that in life you will not get the privileges you want if you cannot work to high standards.
This whole idea could change the school for the better. The words ""what if"" come around often, but what if our grade average for the entire school was a B? What if the students absorbed all of the information we gave them and used it to better our world? We are not asking for Einstein or a Lebron James for that matter; We are asking for better than average. Is that too much to bargain for?
If there has been no improvement, then maybe we can negotiate a better solution. We will not settle for anything lower than a grade B- average. Once you get it that low of expectations, students will just slack off and wait till you lower it to a C+ grade average. That is too close to a C average (the average they have now), if you ask me.
In conclusion, I presume that we are doing a fantastic action by allowing only students who have a grade B average or higher to participate in sports or after school activities. Keep up the good work!

066F06E5E52C,"Summer can be a time for students to have fun and enjoy the wonders of the world, however summer does not mean one can take a break from learning. Every summer, students are required by their schools to complete a project during their break to assure students continue to learn. Summer projects are generally teacher-designed and based off a strict outline, which can limit the students creativity. Summer projects should be student-designed because it will motivate students to expand their learning, engage their creativity, and it will create a sense of accomplishment in the alumni, which will set them up for success.
Every year more and more students fail to complete their summer projects. One might think that they are not being completed because students do not care enough to compile to what is being asked of them. In reality students do not complete their summer projects because there is a lack of interest between the student and the theme of the project. Students should be able to design their own projects as it can motivate them to expand their knowledge while on summer vacation. Typically teacher-designed projects are based off of a strict format where a student is given a topic to research and write about. Although, many may say that having projects formatted this way will set up students for the future, they fail to realize the damage that is being done to a students interest in learning. When a student is forced to research a topic that is not of interest to them they tend to only provide what is needed of them. They do not attempt to further learn about the topic more than are required to because the goal in mind is: what is the quickest way I can get this done? However, when one allows a student to decide what they would like to create a project on one can see the excitement radiate off of their face. The student becomes motivated to start designing their project because it will be based on a topic they are passionate about.
In addition to, motivating students to expand their learning horizons, allowing students to create their own projects instead of having teacher-designed projects will allow students to engage their creative side. As said before, many teacher-designed projects have a cemented format in which they prefer their student's project's to be formatted in leaving little to any space for student creativity. By giving the student an all accesses pass to creating their own student-designed project, it allows for students to think out side the box. For instance, instead of the alumni creating a PowerPoint with several slides of repeating information, the student could design their project through a form of art. Take for example, a student who is doing a project on how pollution affects the oceans;He or she could paint a picture to further depict and attract the audiences attention to the topic being discussed. The student would also benefit tremendously through the ability of using their creativity as It has been scientifically proven that people who use their creativity are most likely to excel academically. Each and every student is smart however, at times students are unable to demonstrate this as a result of teacher-designed summer projects.
Lastly, think about a time in which you have had to work extremely to accomplish a goal and you reached it. Do you remember the pure excitement you felt as you looked back at your painstakingly hard work and realized that it was all worth it? That is the exact feeling students will feel after completing their summer projects. Students should be allowed to design their own projects as it will give students a sense of accomplishment. when the student realizes what they can do if they are determined, the student will then be furthermore motivated to do well in school and in other aspects of their life. For example, in cartoons, when a character is faced with an obstacle, trains to overcome the obstacle, and overcomes it ;it plants a seed of self confidence that will only flourish as time goes by. Like that seed the student will flourish into a responsible and academically smart student.
Students have been completing teacher-designed projects for too long and it is now time for a change by allowing students to design their own summer projects to motivate them to expand their knowledge, creativity, and to set them up for success. As a result of permitting students to do this, every student will develop a love for the free education that is provided to them. Are you willing to give students this opportunity?

C2BAF4ADA2CA,"I am in favor of changing to election by popular vote for the election of the president of the United States. Over sixty percent of voters prefer a direct election to the kind we have now. I believe this change would make electing a president much more simple. At the most basic level, the electoral college is unfair to voters. This is because of the winner-take-all system in each state. The electoral college is unfair, outdated, and irrational.
Most counterclaims to my explanation is swing states. This is because voters in toss-up states are more likely to pay close attention to the campaign, knowing that they are going to decide the outcome of the election. They are likely to be the most thoughtful voters, and the most thoughtful voters should be the ones to decide the election. Keeping electoral colleges would help in this case, so the candidates have to make both want to vote for them (Electoral College and toss-up states). Keeping Electoral Colleges also restores some of the weight in the politicaal balance that large states lose by virtue of the mal-apportionment of the senate decreed in the constitution.

F18C87AFC020,"community work
I have noticed that some of the streets and ground is full of trash. Trash bags, litter, paper, water bottles, plastic, and other stuff. We should stop the littering and everyone should pitch into clean up our earth so creatures like birds, dear, fish, and other animals can flourish. Also if we keep our community clean it will look allot nicer then people would live in the area just because its clean. So i suggest that everyone in the schools fourth grade and up can go to an after school program to help our community. days like Mondays and Tuesdays would be good, or whenever some one sees trash.
If every school every person cleans up every community, then i promise we will live in a much beautiful place to call home. Here is some tips on how to keep our community's clean, have a large trash bin on every curve of every house, have trash bins in a park, if you see some trash laying around then pick it up and put it in the trash, if you cant find a trash bin then hold it until you find one. Follow these steps to clean the community clean.
Think about this, if every kid in every school cleans up the environment, and if there's 500 kids in each school then that's a whole lot of people helping the community. Imagine all these kids out helping to clean the environment, the streets, parks, community's free of all garbage, wouldn't that be awesome! Not only the schools but if we inspire other people like in churches, think of some of the youth groups that can help to. OTHER_NAME already has something like community work.

One of the reasons why is so we can make more friends and be more comfortable aorund people. The reason why we need to have friends and be more comfortable around people is because friends are always a important part of a persons life. Comfort is also really important because most jobs involve people and if you're uncomfortable around people that could be a problem. One of my other reasons is because it helps you with communicaton. For example you can't always be right or get the last word. If one person feels sad and everyone else is happy it's unfair to have one person so we have to consider their feelings too. Therefore I feel like communication is very important because without it it's very hard to do group activities.

C45E9495A7B1,"So imagine being able to detect how someone is feeling, if their feeling sad, mad, happy, excited, or even really furious. Tell me would you like to be told what your facial expression is by just looking into your camera or computer. Well now we got a new software that has been devolped that improves accuracy in perceiving the emotions of others. The new software is called the ""Facial Action Coding System"" or as I like to call it the computer that decides how your feeling today as in like "" 83% happy, 9% disgusted, 6% fearful and 2% angry. Here's how it works a computer constucts a 3-D model of the face, then all 44 major muscles in the model must move like humans muscles. One movment of one or more muscles is called a ""action unit"". It just reconize the movments of the facial muscles.
In my opinion i think it's really stupid or as in some people like to call it non-valuable because the company who is creating these types of softwares instead of making something more resourceful as in like making a software program that in every gun when it's passed by a metal detector it gives an alert, As in like they should put a micro chip in a gun and whenever that gun passes through a metal detecor it alerts on a computer this goes for all the schools. But instead we are making facial expressions on cameras and computer just to tell us how mad, sad, or angry we are. As I can recall it helps us with what?

C8D3EB90EB29,"Do you ever want to skip school and stay at home? As a kid, I have always wanted to take classes at home so I wouldn't have to go to school; however, now that I'm older, I realize that taking classes at home wouldn't benefit me. Coming to school and taking classes at school has been extremely beneficial for me. Schools offer a great counseling program that has helped me through various problems, I can't imagine how my life would be if It wasnt for the help of my counselor. Some say that taking online classes at home is beneficial, but it is not, taking classes at school is the best option and is beneficial because students have a one on one experience with their teachers, students have a better social life, and builds character.
Having a one on one experience with your teacher is extremely important, but if a student takes online classes at home, they wont be able to experience that. Teachers are always there for help: if a student, after taking notes, still doesn't understand the subject, a teacher could go one on one with the student and help them understand. On multiple occasions, I couldn't understand a subject until I had a one on one time with the teacher. According to Harvard University study, 78% of high school students need a one on one time with a teacher to understand a subject. Teachers have a special way in making students understand. This is why a student won't benefit from taking online classes at home because there will be no teacher to help one on one.
Also, being at home all day taking classes does not benefit with having a good social life; however, coming to school exposes a student to many other students that could potentially lead to having more friends and a better social life. According to multiple studies ran by Cornell University, 48% of students who take online classes are socially off. My brother took classes at home for the first two years of high school and he did not have any friends. When he started going to school for classes, I could tell that he was much happier. He had multiple friends and was socially better. Thats why a student doesn't benefit from taking classes online because its not good for a students social life.
finally, taking classes online does not build character because it doesn't expose students to the real world; however, school on the other hand, exposes a student to many real life situations that sets students to graduating and going out in the real world. My family and I have noticed the difference in my brothers character when he used to take online classes at home compared to going to school. My brother was not confident and did not have much common sense since he was home all day; however, since he started going to school he has became more confident and has more common sense. By going to school, I personally have learned many life skills that build my character. This is why taking online classes isn't beneficial because it doesn't build a students character.
some may say that taking online classes at home benefits a student because students have less distractions; however, it doesn't benefit a student because what they can experience and learn is extremely limited. Imagine being home almost all day taking classes, a students life would be miserable. Would a student be able to handle going to college if all they were used to is taking classes at home? Are students who have been socially awkward their whole life because they took online classes handle going out in the real world?

924D8175D100,"Many adults are suspicious of students if they call in stick. This suspicion is not unfounded either, many high school students feign sickness to get out of tests or to escape an impending due date. But for some students, feigning an illness is not an option. For these high achieving students, being sick could mean a week of catching up on missed material, even if only one day of class is missed. Although some students may try to take advantage of a long distance learning system, it can greatly reduce the stress of missing class and keep students from falling behind.
Implementing a long distance learning approach would reduce the stress of missing class commonly felt by high achieving students. High school schedules can be so packed with classes, missing only one day can lead to a week or more of trying to catch up on tests, assignments, and notes. These students, to avoid missing class, often downplay illnesses that otherwise would have kept them at home. A long distance learning approach would allow students who are sick to stay at home while still learning, participating in class, and getting any important dates or other information that may have been mentioned in the class. This will reduce the time the student must spend catching up and encourage the student to stay at home when they are sick. This, in turn, will keep diseases like the flu from spreading rapidly through the school system as fewer students come to class sick. If the lessons are recorded, a student missing school for an event can catch up on classes at times teachers are usually unavailable. Many students choose not to attend academic competitions, extracurricular activities, and other important events during the school day because of the fear of missing class. Recording lectures encourages these students to pursue academic enrichment outside of the classroom as they do not have to worry as much about catching up on classes. They can play back these recordings during times when teachers are not commonly available which decreases the time it takes students to catch up on missed work, thus reducing the stress of missing class.
Adding a long distance learning system to the classroom would also prevent chronically ill students who cannot attend classes regularly from falling behind. Many students with illnesses such as Lyme disease are forced to skip class due to their illness. If too many days are missed, the student can fall behind in class and many be forced to repeat a class or an entire year. This causes an unneeded burden on the student, the family, and the school system. The aforesaid parties would greatly benefit from a remote learning system as the chronically ill student would be able to keep pace with the class from home. This reduces the probability that the student fails the class and is forced to repeat it. By making lectures available online, these students, and all students for that matter, would be given the chance to earn a higher grade as working outside of the class is more efficient. Students who want to study for an exam can go back through old lectures to ensure that they know all of the important information presented in class. This would result in higher grades, fewer failing students, and a better chance of success in college and later in life.
Implementing a remote learning system may encourage some students to skip class for no reason. On the surface, more students skipping class seems undesirable, but a remote learning system will allow these students, who may have skipped class anyway, to keep up with the class. Students who were absent from class could be required to check the video recording for the classes they missed which would ensure that all students know what happened in class. Even if more students skip class, implementing this system would ensure that all students know what happened in class whether they were present or not and will minimize the likelihood of a student falling behind.
High school can be a time of great stress on students. The level of performance mandated by some classes requires students spend more time and effort than ever before to maintain academic performance. Given that, it is important that all students are supported at this stage in their life. A bad or stressful experience in high school can discourage students from pursuing college or other challenging achievements. Implementing a long distance learning system at the high school level would give students the support they need to make the best of their high school experience and continue learning throughout their life.",,765,Distance learning,Independent,Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing.

Although there are still some problems with the driverless cars, I think it would be a great invention. Driverless cars could reduce car crashes, it would be less expensive, less pollution and many more great features. There are some small bugs at the moment, but anything can be fixed.
Driverless cars could help cause less accidents because of all of the sensors it would have. Google´s modified Toyota Prius uses position-estimation sensorson the right wheel, a rotating sensor on the roof, a video camera mounted near the rearview mirror, four automotive sensors, a GPS reciever, and an inertial motion sensor. These are the recent added technologies and if we wait a little longer possibilities are endless. They would help lessen the amount of crashes because the sensors tell you when things are around or in the way of the car. Driverless cars could help avoid accidents and although they aren´t fully capable of reducing all accidents they could reduce most accidents.
Gas prices have always gone up and down. No matter what car you drive it requieres fuel. Google cofounder Sergey Brin envisions a public transportation system that use half the fuel of today´s taxis and offere more flexibility than a bus. Driverless cars would be less inexpensive, they could economically help us. Gas prices will most likely not change but instead of spending 50$ on gas wouldn´t you want to spend 25$ on gas or maybe even 30$. Although buying a driverless car would be expensive and mostlikely cost you two arms and a leg in the end it would be worth it.
Lastly I feel like it would be the technology we need to better our future. It would look nice having cars that potentially save pedestrians lives and help the driver stay safe. Some manufacturers hope that by bringing in-car entertainment and information systems that use heads-up displays. They also hope that some of the in-car systems could help reduce the amount of people who are on their phones while driving. This type of technology could save endless amount of lives and help better the world.
I feel like driverless cars could help many people. Especially as a teen and driving is new to them it could help because all the sensors would be there to help.

E2F4E68CFEAD,"Interaction. Intercation is the way humans percieve the world around them. Collaborating among peers, communicating to conquor challenges and building up from past mistakes- that is how we learn.
However, in an increasingly digital society, it is quite easy to forget this fundemental aspect of leaning. Likewise, the rise of online or ""distance"" learning appeals to many as an option to enjoy the practicalities of learning from the comfort of home. It has been falsely advertised as a seemingly benefitial alternative to tradiitonal learning. However, this is far from the truth. When looking at the roots of distance learning, it is essentially detrimental to a studenrs education as it deprives individuals of a cognitively stimulating environemnt and fails to adequetly provide flexibility for individual needs.
The true fruit of learning is face to face interaction as it facilitates the crutial development of valubale interperosnal skills among students.
However, what sets online learning apart form traditional learning is the aspect of the ""comforts of home"". In fact, allowing students to work from their homes actually works to inhibit the creative mindset. When in a familiar environment, it makes it difficult to step out of one's comfort zones and further push perosnal boundries. On the other hand, classrooms are meticulously designed to help facilitate just this. Colorful posters are hung up around walls and tangible resources (such as books and utensils) are readily available to ensure an optimal learning environment. Risk and innovation is welcomed. This is a charcteristic online classes can seldom provide. Additionally, studies have shown, time and time again, that individuals who were home-schooled with an online education experince a difficult time adapting to the pressure of the workforce. Morever, they display a lack of communication skills; thus, making it difficult for them to voice their opinions and concerns. Students should not have to rely on an unreliable 3rd party platform (such as email or messaging apps) to contact their teacher or administator. It transforms the process of learning into a tedious chore.
In addition to the ineffiency of distance learning, it is virtually impossible for teachers to cater to personal student needs from the other side of a screen. Kinesthetic learners, for example, use their sense of touch and interaction to make sence of their learning. Words on a screen or monotone lectures from a call will not allow them to connect what they are learning with their own lives. This is beacuse many online based courses follow a syllabus of ""common core"", which based on the primary principal of forcing students to follow a univeralized cirriculum. This makes it especially difficult for students who are not native to the language provided by the online schooling program as well as those who suffer form learning disabilities. Those who suffer form ADHD, for example, will not be able to focus on the material given to them as education is not a ""one size fits all"" ordeal. Rather, it is a highly indvidualized path that needs to be flexible in order fro them to succeed.
It has been said that many individuals use online learning as a method to work around the high cost of education and/or older studets who ensure busy scedules due to long working shifts. However, new scholarship programs have now emmerged to assist these students, as well as various support programs in order to obtain the acesss to education they need and deserve. Additionally, their has been a progressive push toward flexibility in class timings to help accomodate these very indivudals. Night time classes offered by universities are just one example. Additonally, there are now childcare-built in classes to help accomodate single parent students who desire to complete their path to a degree. Just beacasue these people are not provided with the luxury of time should not deprive them of the right ot a quality education. They should not have the settle for the minimum. The future workforce deserves better.
Historically reknown philospher Aristotle once proclaimed ""The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet"". It is time for society to shy away from the ignorance the digital era and reprioritize what we envision from the ""roots"" of education. Is that vision a monotone learning platform that discourages flexibility and creative thinking? Or is it rather an acedemically rigorous environment which promotes inter and intrapersonal skills in the workforce as well as daily life. The fruit of potential awaits.

In my own persnal opinion I think it is a horrific idea. Why send people to an unfirmilar plaent when a tiny space craft cant survive. I think even with ihs evdince its a horrinle idea.
In the artical
""The Challenge of Exploring Venus."", the author suporrts his idea of
""Venus is a worth pursuite despite all of the dangours"". with facts. In the artical it states ""Humans have sent numerous spacecraft to land on this could-draped world. Each pervious mission was unmanned, and for a good reason, since no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours."" Why would someone want to explore a planet that not even a space craft can handel? He also states ""NASA's possible spulution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus would allow scientists to float aboove the fray."" This is one of the most pathetic pices ideas i have ever heard us. Why send someone where the weather is so harmful it can destroy a robot?

He did nothing but support his idea with facts about how dangrous this plaent is to humans.

15DB2779EC7A,"I think the the principal is right. Did you know that the kids who do exercise activities learn faster and there brain can concentrate more. As a principal you are supposed to be looking out for the children and caring for their education. The reasons why I agree with the principal is because kids can get bored sometimes and have nothing to do, kids also need to stop being so lazy all the time, and maybe kids could find talents that they didnt even know about.
The first reason why I agree with the principal is because kids can get bored sometimes. If kids have nothing to do they can go play there basketball ball game that day or go practice outside. Instead of sitting on the couch all day watching TV they can go to chess club or any other clubs in there school. If they go do school activities they will get more exercise and can use there energy for more than just pressing buttons on a remote. For example I made b-team soccer and since I made it I get to spend with friends more and see my other family more.
The second reason why I agree with the principal is because kids now adays are very lazy. They dont listen and all they want to do is sit on the couch and watch TV or play video games. I love watching TV and playing video games but I still get up and go outside or go play with my brothers or sisters. Being lazy is not a good thing you will get no where in life if you are lazy all the time. I love going to my practices and spending time with family TV and video games are allways last in my life and maybe it should be for you to. And also doing school activities will allow you to spend more time with friends.
The third reason why I agree with the principal is because kids could finds talents that they didnt even know about. If you are lazy all the time you wont wont ever find out things about yourself. For example if you are one of those kids who are known as the kid in the corner and you dont ever try anything new you wont ever be able to acclompish your dreams. And also if ypu find out that you are really good at basketball or soccer you could one day maybe because a famous NBA or MLS player. If you found out that you are really good at something and you made really good money off of it you could give some to charity or to hospital or to churches. If you find a talent that your really good at you could inspire others to do the same.
Those were the reaons why I agreed with the pricipal. I hope me telling you all those things help you learn that lazyness is not the answer. I really hope that I inspired you to agree with the principal. So hopefully now you will get of the TV or video games and go spend time with family or go to some after school activities and enjoy the freedom you have because not everyone has that freedom.",,538,Mandatory extracurricular activities,Independent,"Your principal has decided that all students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity.

59EA4BEE9B35,"Online classes are not as reliable as classes taken in school; Students might cheat, they will not have anybody to give hands on experience, might not have internet or computer access, may develop lack of communication skills around their peers, and poor organization skills. Online classes are not the way to go with our education system.
Students cheating is a big problem with online classes. Students feel that because they are not being watched, they can use the internet to find their answers or get answers from students who have taken the course before. A friend of mine was kicked from her online classes because she turned in a paper that belonged to a student who took the course 2 years prior. The only reason why they found out that the paper was not hers was because she forgot to change the name on the paper to her name, prior to that she had been cheating on all of her worksheets, test, and quizzes and was about to finish the course with an A. Another problem with online school is students not being able to have someone there to show them how to properly do it. I took Geometry at school and I am currently enrolled in Geometry online, Geometry online is more difficult because you can not raise your hand and have the teacher come over and explain the problem to you.
I once had a question about the material that we were learning, but I could not ask my teacher until the next day because she was offline. By the time she was back online, which was at 2pm, I had forgotten what I specifically wanted to ask her. This is a problem because students are not able to ask their teacher for help until the teacher is online, resulting in students forgetting what they wanted to ask or students eventually cheating. Students not being able to have access to a teacher while doing worksheets, test, quizzes, etc..., should not be encouraged in the learning system and should be thoroughly thought through.
The biggest problem with online classes are that some students might not have access to a computer or the internet. Less fortunate students are always left out of the conversation when it comes to online classes. An example of this would be students with financial problems, not all students are able to buy a computer that runs smoothly enough for them to be able to attend video conferencing and hold files of digital papers. Less fortunate students may feel left out because they are not able to take online classes due to their financial status. Another issue with online school is the lack of basic communication skills students may suffer with. Students not being able to physically talk to their peers may result in them not knowing how to talk to people their age. For example, Twitter, I had a friend who had lots of friends on Twitter. Her and the Twitter friend wanted to meet up before the concert of their favorite band, they met at a coffee shop across from the arena, but things were very awkward. They did not know how to communicate with each other without the use of Twitter, because that incident was so awkward for them, they never spoke to each other in real life or on Twitter ever again. Talking to people behind a screen is so much easier than talking to them face to face because, you do not have to show the real you. You can show a distorted version of yourself, which is never good for the learning process.
Poor internet is one of the reasons why online classes are not reliable. If a student can not finish a test because their internet went down, then they risk getting a bad grade because of something that was not their fault. Students should not be penalized because of an issue with their computer or internet, students would not have to worry about this issue if they were taking their classes in school instead of online. Some students may find it difficult to take these courses, especially if it keeps happening. Another concern with online schools are students having poor organization skills because of the lack of physical papers. Students will not have to organize physical papers, which is good but, they will also not know how to properly keep up with things if they are not digital. This can impact their lives greatly, especially if they have a job in the future that requires heavy organization skills. Students should be taught from an early age how to organize, but if they are not taught, they will not learn.
Some may claim that online classes can help students with physical disabilities get the same amount of education as students who do not. This is false because those students can have a teacher come to their house, also students with physical disabilities need to have some sort of physical contact with their teacher in order to fully understand what is going on in the classroom. Online are not efficient for students with physical disabilities because they might not be able to reach the computer and their family might not have the financial stability to own a computer.
To conclude, online classes are not as reliable as classes taken in school; Students might cheat, they will not have anybody to give hands on experience, might not have internet or computer access, may develop lack of communication skills around their peers, and poor organization skills. The online education system is not as efficient as classes in school. Online classes are not the way to go with our education system.

3661D3C5DB6B,"I disagree with what the princicapel says since students here shouldn't be made do an curricular acitivity, it's uncostitutional.
Making Students do an extracurricular activivty will not work out since not all of the students at our middle school want to pick an activity to participate in.
This would looked at to be forced, since for the thew that don't pick an activity the school would have to choose a random activity for them to enjoy. I think if the school makes all the student do atleast one extracurricular activity it'll be like the school is forcing them to do it. Us students shouldn't be forced to do anything that's not part of the edjucation our school gives in the first place.
These activitys might be to much to handle for a student physically or mentally. Physically a student may not be able to compete in an activity such a an phisical sport due to a phisical or a mental condition. This is probably why the student didn't play the sport before the princaple made their decision.
Mentally this can also be rough on a student to particpate in an particular activity since it'd be more work for them handle arleady added on to the school work they already have. For example working on the year book all year and completing it before the deadline.
If a student doesn't play a sport or do anything woudn't they become lazy or even somewhat unhealthy. If you are asking this question you forgotten about the GYM class that all students are required to take at our middle school. Our GYM class activitys should provide every student to stay healthy and in shape here at our school. If a student wants to participate in an activity like playing a sport or joining a club it should be their choice and their parents choice to decide if they want to join in on an the activity or not. It shouldn't be the schools choice!
Students might improve socially and could have some fun their activity. Yes that is true but what if some or even most of the students don't enjoy their activity they're in. The proof for this is that this would happen a lot since the principle made the decicsion to have every student in a extra curricular activity whether they like it or not . I think that us students would be better off we can choose what we want to do, so we enjoy what we want to do.

Should or shouldn't students participate in an extracurricular
?"",well I think that they should participate in an extracurricular because they can earn points or things for participating in these things, having something to do in their spare time, supporting the school and making it better for the students to be there, not to be having a very free scheulcle becuase they could be playing sports and maybe they would make it into the NFL or other sports related things.
Therefore, students could be having a free period doing nothing. Instead they could be doing something in there mean time and doing a interesting circular. For them wanting to do a extracurricular, my idea would be having to have them write on a piece of paper saying what they would mostly want to be doing for a extracurricular. After that we would pick the most wrote extracurriclar to do and giving everyone 1 week vote for which curricular they want and then we give would them that activity to do for a whole 2 semester.
For the student council and yearbook club, they would each have specific job. Yearbook kids would have a limited amount of kids because everyone would need to have a skill that helps them get done with the yearbook. This is why becuase they want to be walking around doing nothing with the camera. Student councils would be having a specific job to do like having to be controlling the announcement and deciding should they should they not have dress code.
Therefore students are needed to be payed attention to and have an opinion because they can all hate the school and not having to make they're own decision. They should have a choice to be choosing between what they love and being free to be doing there favorite thing to do. There is a error that would be coming through because sometimes they're friends would want to be doing the something that there friends are but if there friend s doesnt like it they can change it for themselves. Sometimes younger people doesnt like doing anything but just them a change for having to do something they like to do. Myself doesnt like doing extracurricular but I still have to do it.

AD63E43944A1,"Alien Theory: Debunked
There may be evidence as to why people believe in something as comical as aliens; mass UFO sightings, various reports of alien abduction, passages in religious books and scrolls that show odd evidence of a species not born on Earth, or even on manmade structures such as the ancient pyramids or Egypt. However, we still haven't found credible evidence that aliens are real. The Face is not some sort of bona fide of evidence on life on Mars that NASA would hide. The Face is merely just a natural landform.
After the discovery of the Face, NASA unveiled the image for the public to see. A caption noted a ""huge rock formation... which resembles a human head... formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and a mouth."" Authors who knew about it reasoned that it would be a good way to engage the public's attraction to Mars, which it successfully did. The pharaoh look-alike of the mesa was named ""The Face on Mars"" has since become a pop icon. It has starred in Hollywood film, appeared in books, magazines, radio talk shows, even haunted grocery store checkout lines for 25 years. Many conspiray theorists said that NASA was just hiding more from the public since they said it was only a natural landform. Aliens and ancient civilization became a wide belief, even scientists believed in this. But due to this, the Face became a priority for NASA when Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) arrived at the Red Planet in September 1997; 18 years after the Viking missions ended. The chief scientist for NASA's MArs Exploration Program, Jim Garvin said ""We felt this was important to taxpayers.""
When NASA's Viking 1 caught a picture of the Face while it was simply finding a region for its Viking 2 to land, mission controllers may have been amazed or mildly frightened to see this on their monitors. This discovery was short lived because scientists such as myself figured it as just another Martian mesa, which is common around Cydonia, a region on Mars where the Viking spotted the legendary Face. The first photos had bad quality, the best photo having 43 meters per pixel. On April 5, 1998, the MGS flew over Cydonia for the frist time, Micahel Malin and his Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) team snapped a picture 10 times sharper than the original Viking photos. Those who have grown curious to this discovery were upset to only see that THe Face really was only a natural landform. Howver that day they took the photos was a cloudy day on Mars. And so, more disappointment was caused when on April 8, 2001-a cloudless day on Cydonia-MGS took another chance and took another photo. The pixels in the latest image spans 1.56 meters, which is much more better than the original photos from the Viking.
As a rule of thumb, that picture quality would capture more landforms or manmade structures if there were any, but there were not. The latest picture shows the Martian equivalent to a butte or mesa which are landforms that are common around the American West. ""It reminds me most of the Middle BUtte in the Snake River Plain of IDaho,"" says Garvin. That's a lava dome that takes for of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars. However, Mars doesn't have life on it. That planet is labeled dead to some scientists.
Though there may be some instance of some alien life form out there, such as the Wow Signal, there isn't enough credible evidence that the Face was made by aliens. As I have already said, landforms such as that MArtian mesa are common on Cydonia. This one just happened to look like a face due to the shadows casted onto it.
Living in the universe alone or with unknown species out there is terrifying, but without enough credible evidence, aliens don't really exist. They're jsut a pigment of imagination caused by the odd funtions of the human brain. All of those alien abductions were most likely hallucination from drug use pr mental diseases.

76BF3852B313,"Student-designed projects are great, they persuade students to be more unique and creative on their project. There is an ongoing debate over whether summer projects should be student-designed or teacher-designed. There are those who argue that teacher-designed projects are better, but this is not true. Although some may disagree, projects should be student-designed.
There are a variety of reasons why summer projects should be student-designed. Students are more creative than teachers. For example, I like to add more color and pictures to my project. When students work on project by their selves they tend to understand it better because there is no pressure on them. Furthermore, no one is telling the students what to read or write on their project. When a student designs there own project it looks easier to them, and it also builds their confidence up. Another reason summer projects should be student-designed is because they better the student skills. For example, when I go off too college the projects will be easier to me because Im already experienced, also if i was to do a presentation I would know what certain points I want to say, and what parts I would like to start from.
There additional reasons why a student-designed summer project is more beneficial. Students can show the project to their friends and family, and that would help because if the student is wrong on some parts of the project they have people around that can correct them. However, when students show their project to their friends and family that can help better the student presentation and social skills. Due to the summer being a break from school, students have a lot of time to work on the project. For example, no one is rushing the student, therefore, the student can add extra work. The summer gives the students a lot of time to be more unique. Also, summer projects that are student-designed are better because the teacher may want the students to turn the project in earlier than expected. Another additional reason is that student-designed projects may be easier, because the student might not understand how the teacher designed it, or may not understand the instructions. For example, if summer already started and the student did not understand the teacher instructions, the student can ask the teacher to email the instructions to them.
Although some may disagree, projects should be student-designed. During the summer student-designed projects are best because they better student's skills, student have a lot of time to work on the project, and students can understand the project better. There are those who argue that teacher-designed projects are best, but this is not true.

The author provides examples and counters them with ways to overcome said obstacles, and uses specific examples on how NASA plans to study and explore Venus.
Venus has many different aspects and characteristics from Earth, such as the temperature of over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure that is 90 times greater than the pressure on Earth. Geological and weather challenges include lightning strikes, erupting volcanoes, and powerful earthquakes. The author mentions all of the issues regarding visiting Venus in the second and third paragraph. Although the author mentions the challenges, he/she is doing that to completely inform the reader by giving all the details and then finding ways to counter those obstacles. The author brings up the question of ""If our sister planet is so inhospitable, why are scientists even discussing further visits to its surface?"" in the beginning of paragraph 4. This shows how the author brings up an argument against the initial claim, and then proving that argument wrong to make the claim more valid. Next, in the fifth paragraph, the author uses evidence from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to provide ways to escape the hostile conditions of Venus. For example, one idea is to allow scientists to float above the fray in a blimp like vehicle. Again in the second paragraph, the author again mentions another plan by NASA to study Venus. This plan is to use simplified electronics made of silicon carbide because they could survive Venus's surface for a limited amount of time. By using specific evidence and research already done by NASA, the claim that ""Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents,"" is being proven well. Lastly, in the final paragraph, the author does an excellent job of summarizing the scientific gains that would come from exploring Venus. The last line states, ""Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation."" which is a fantastic summary of the article and shows how well the author presented and supported his claim.

1033B94279B0,"Dear Senator,
I know you have a lot of things on your mind, but I really felt the need to address the way we vote for our president of the United States. Instead of using the Electoral College, I think we should select the president by popular vote. We, the people should be allowed to control who our president is and that not always likely to happen. We can't control whomever our electors vote for. If you keep reading you will see my reasonings for not favoring the Electoral College.
First of all, I favor changing to election by popular vote because of something we might call the ""disaster factor."" Us Americans should consider the fact about how back in 2000, there was one of the biggest fiascos of the century because of the election process. Just think about how state legislatures can just pick electors, and those electors they chose can defy the will of the people. Even if we go back even further to the 1960's the segregationists of the Louisiana legislatures almost succeeded in replacing the Democratic electors with new ones, who would oppose John F. Kennedy.
Secondly, I would perfer that he election was decided by the popular vote becayse some people refuse to vote. ""These electors are called ""faithless"" electors. They refuse to vote for their party's candidate and cast a deciding vote for whomever they please"" stated in souce 2: The Indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong, in paragraph 11.
Last but not least of all, the electoral college is unfair to voters. Only because of the winnwer-take-all system in each state. Because of this system, candidates don't spend time in states they know dont have a chance of winning. They mainly focus on the tight races in the ""swing"" states. Back in 2000, 17 states didn't see the candidates at all, which is not right.
In conclusion, I would like to say that I would rather have the decision to vote for our president by using the most popular vote.

3F612C6BD191,"In my own opinion I think that it is a bad idea to explore the habitat and enviroment of venus because the conditions just seem to unbareable but the author do make some good points on why we should explore it a little more. One reason the author wants to pursuit exploring venus is becasue it's the second planet from the sun and really close to earth its often referred to as Earth ""twin"". Long ago like hundreds or even millions of years ago venus have beeen the most earth like planet in our solar system. Venus have many and multiple things that are similar to earth for instance venus have rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys mountains and craters. I think the author have a good reason to keep studying venus it is earth like with all the similar features besided from the high carbon dioxide and extreme storms and weather temperatures.
Humans have sent numerouse spacecraft to land on venus but none have survived for more than a few hours. Every since then not a single spacecraft have touched down on venus since more than three decades. Venus have a thick atmosphere of almost ninety-seven percent carbon dioxide. Venus temperatures is really extreme the temperature average eight hundred degrees on a regular. The pressure and atmosphere is ninety times greater then earth's atmosphere.
Venus has the hottest temperature of any planet in our solar system even though mercury is closest to the sun. This reason being is because of the weather conditions venus have erupting like valcanoes powerful earthquakes and frequent lighting strikes that hits the surface. These conditions are far extreme then anything on earth. The conditions on venus could crush a submarine accustomed for diving to the deepest parts of our ocean. But still NASA is trying to figure out a way to send scientist to venus so they can study the palnet more.
Scientist say that venus could have been covered in with largely oceans and had life forms on its planet similar to earth. they say this because venus still have some features that are analogous to thoes on earth. They say that sometimes venus can be our nearest option for a planetary visit. Scientist is making a blimp like craft so that can float thirty miles above venus to study it better. Scientist wants to find out how much venus is like earth and trying to see if it csn somehow be habital in them extreme conditions.

A03BED17CAD2,"Summer projects, the cornerstone of any students journey through the seemingly endless maze that is education. Used as a tool to keep education flowing through the three month stretch of summer, summer projects are useful to many school districts. However, the issue with summer projects is not the work rather than who is going to design the work. Should teachers take time out of their busy day, or should students step up and design a summer project for themselves? Summer projects require care and effort as they are continuing the expansion of knowledge at times when learning is not popular. This is why teachers should design summer projects over the summer, rather than students.
Teachers are the reason why education is even possible, they simply care more about education than an average student. A majority of students will take the opportunity of designing summer work and use it as a pass to create something that will not challenge their minds in order to enjoy time away from schooling. Teachers on the other hand will make the summer project challenging enough to keep knowledge flowing through summertime. Students do not always know what it takes to challenge the minds of thier peer, therefore if students were to make up the summer projects, the quality of the projects will go down. Teachers are more adept to challenging the mind of students.
Designing a summer project is not an easy task. In order to have an effective project, students will have to open their minds and think critically. Teachers already have plenty of experience making work that challenges the brain to think critically, as they have gone through many years of extensive training and education for this exact purpose. Knowledge and wisdom is what sets teachers and students apart, as teachers have more experience in making effective work for students.
An argument that could be used for students to make summer projects is that it would give students a chance to be creative with the work that they are giving themselves. For most students in this day and age, telling them to make their own summer work is like doing dishes after a Thanksgiving day feast. It is seen as tedious and will be met with little care and effort all while the person washing the dishes get to hear everyone else in the other room having a good time watching football. Students will not want to make their own work and will most likely give themselves easy work to get out of the assignment rather than thought provoking, challenging work.
If school systems are looking to enlighten students with knowledge over the summer, having teachers make the summer assignments would be the ideal situation. Teachers are simply more qualified to think of challenging work than students are.

13224DF00A6A,"Good advice can be tricky to come by. Most people, when looking for an answer, tend to go to family or friends. Seeking out a trusted person in your life could be good, but only asking one person most likely won't help you to the extent you may be looking for. Not everyone is the same, and one person could give you advice that worked for them, but might not benefit you. Asking multiple people gives you different viewpoints and options to think over.
What makes up good advice? Well advice in general is a piece of information or and opinion on a situation. You could be asking for help ranging from a moral issue to a fight with friends. Advice can be found everywhere, in quotes, poems, books, from your friends, family, teachers, or even strangers. Good advice usually comes from a known source, or someone you can trust. Everybody looks for a different type of advice, even if it doesn't work for you, it could still work for someone else. Good advice is something that will help you fix a problem or help you see things differently than you have before.
When faced with a problem, many people ask for advice. Advice is one of those things that anyone can give, but not all are good at. If you have one friend who always gives good advice, you may gravitate towards them first, rather than someone who may not be as skilled. However, everybody has different experiences, and may be able to relate to your problem more than someone else. Asking people who have been in your situation is a great way to hear what they did and weigh the options.
If someone is given two options, they will likely take less time thinking over the options and choosing between the two than they would if given multiple. Having a variety of opinions and solutions may help you weigh out the good and bad. Only having one option could keep you from seeing the bad parts of the plan because you have nothing else to compare it to. Though it may take longer, deciding which works best for you may be worth it in the end.
There are multiple ways to compare advice. First, make a pros and cons list. These are very simple to make and are a good way to see exactly what each bit of advice entails. Another good way is to just simply think through each scenario. Say to yourself, if I follow this advice, then what would happen. If any piece of advice leads to a bad or undesirable outcome, you may want to eliminate it and choose a different one. The last way to compare could be to think of the source. Did this advice come from someone reputable, or trustworthy, do they have experience in my situation, and would they possibly lie to protect me or to keep my feelings from being hurt? If the source turns out to be bad, then move onto your next option.
Not all people like talking about their problems to many people. These people may decide on a solution, then simply to a sort of poll, to validate it. They may ask someone, should I do this, and weigh the amount of ""yes"" to the amount of ""no"" and decide whether or not it is good based off of that. Though this method works, you may be blind sided and not be able to see both parts of your solution. Rather than doing a yes or no poll, asking people for advice and instead, writing them down and grouping them together by what they mean is a better way to conduct a poll. If someone tells you yes or no, they aren't able to tell you exactly what they do or do not like about your idea.
Asking advice from multiple people could benefit you in many ways. You have more options, more sources, and more to think about. Even though not every bit of advice you get may work for you, it is important to hear different points of view. Just because you know someone and trust them, doesn't mean they always know what is best for you.
In the end, it is up to you to decide what you listen to. Choose the advice you take carefully, not all of it is there to help you.",,726,Seeking multiple opinions,Independent,"When people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person.

I think the electoral college should stay because 1 major reason is to let the election have a fair fight. Another reason is that it in our constitution!!.Another important reason is that with out the electoral there would only be 1 side of a vote for ex it just be the congress voting. With the electoral the want it to be equal so nobody goes home felling down cause he didnt have a fair ruling or a fair election. For my 3 reason they help select how many elector on how many state could have witch for ex the 23 amendment of the constitution they allowed columbia to have 3 ..I dont now much but that sound like alot.
4 reason is that each state has his or her on elector. If u havent notice i have said yes they should be hear to do there job as a elector and to do there job as a guy/girl to do there jobs rights. I understand why elector are trying to stay there trying to stay to have a sucessful carrer and do good in life and not be a bum that live on the street or working at mcdonalds. Another good reason is that if it turn into a tie then the house or representatives come into place and they put the thoughts into.

97156FFD0206,"Face on Mars? Aliens? What? Some conspiracy theorists believe that a face found on Mars from a photo taken by Viking 1 - a Mars Global surveyor -
was created by aliens who lived on the planet over 300 billion years ago. NASA released information and a picture about the 'Face on Mars,' to the media, with the caption, ""huge rock formation...which resembles a human head."" The face believed to be found on Mars is nothing less then a rock formation, and was not created by aliens.
Mission controller Garvin says, ""It's not easy to target Cydonia."" He also noted that his crew does not pass over the Face very often. This rock formation is nothing more then a piece of the planet that has been wore down by the clouds on Mars. Research shows evidence that this formation has been on Mars for billions of years. Over time the wind and atmosphere has shaped the rock into the form of what looks to be a Face.
NASA leaked evidence about the Face on Mars when they unveiled the image for the public and media to see, stating clearly that the Face was formed by, ""shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth.""
Thousands of anxious web surfers were waiting to see the image on a JPL website, the text in fact quoted, ""It was a natural landform. There was no alien monument after all.""
The people that do believe that there was alien life on Mars, think that the aliens markings were hidden by haze, and believe the Face is ""bona fide"" evidence of life on Mars. Contarary to what skeptics and other theorists think, there is no actual piece of true evidence discovered by NASA to prove otherwise.
Garvin and his team said, ""As a rule of thumb, you can discern things in a digital image three times bigger than the pixel size, so if there were objects in the picture like airplanes on the ground of Egyptian-style pyarmids or even small shacks, you could see what they were!"" So this actual NASA evidence that the mysterious ""Face"" found on Mars was nothing but a simple landform.
The NASA Space Program has been around for decades. NASA has not yet found evidence to consider the Face on Mars was alien artifacts. Even with NASA's best cameras, there just isn't a theoretical proven fact that this could have become an artifact from ancient aliens.

9B66D8446A27,"With sickness spreading throughout the world, and many students missing classes for vacations and sporting events I feel like being able to take online classes, video call, or watch online videos will help take the stress load off students and teacher.
I believe that this will help the students because I have had experiences with attending class from home. As a freshman I wanted to be part time home schooled. I would go to school three times a week and the other two days I would either go into a really small class with about four other home schooled children or I would video call in. when that year ended I went back to public schools and it was hard to get used to. If you missed school for a sport event or if you left on a vacation you would have to go in and get all the homework from all the classes you would miss. But even after you did that you would have to teach yourself all of the lessons the teachers would teach and try and figure it out on your own. When this happened to me a couple of times I was frustrated because I was usually able to go online to a teachers website and watch the video that they took in class. I realized how important this was to student who missed school for other reasons. The videos would help the student not fall behind and try and catch up with the rest of the class when they got back. It would also help the teacher because they would not have to worry about the student falling behind when the student could go on the teachers website and watch the videos from class.
My second point is sickness. Its not fun to miss classes because your sick. Last year I was sick for an entire week at the beginning of the quarter and I had to make up so much homework and classwork that it took me the entire quarter to catch up. I feel like if the teacher had done a video call with me while I was at home or made videos for me I would have been able to come back to school with all the work that I missed all made up and ready to learn. Also with whats happening in the world around us the Corona virus is spreading and some schools are closing down to try and stop the spread of the disease. I feel like this is the perfect time for the schools to try and teach from home because no one wants to make up weeks of lost time. This would make it easier for the teachers and the students.
My third and final point is that some students don't really want to go to school five days a week. They could go for a couple of days and on the days they're not there they could take the classes online. It would also help with getting a job. You could work two full days a week and weekends if you only went to school for three days and took the rest online. I had a friend who did that her senior year and she loved it and was able to save up enough money to go to collage to continue her education. Some students might not have the ability to make it to school everyday. In our school system many people come to my school from far away. So on days that their parents work or days they can't make it to school they could video call into class.
In conclusion if you miss a day for sickness or for a sport or for any other reason dont stress out just go to your teachers website and watch what you missed and all will be good. Having the option of taking classes online or through video call will not only help the students but the teachers. It will stop the spread of sickness from students who are to afraid of missing school so the show up sick and get others sick. it will also help with people getting jobs to save for collage or other big things. I feel like having the option to take the classes online or video call in will greatly impact schools in a good way.",,719,Distance learning,Independent,Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing.

Image being the quarter back of the Baltimore Ravens think of how many different people he has to talk to or listen to for him to know what is going on and how to do it correctly.
Lamar Jackson is the QB of the Baltimore Ravens he is 23 years old and he has already made it to the playoff two years in a row and just this year he won MVP of the NFL and get better. Coming into the NFL he was not liked at all everybody that saw him saw what he could do just thought he was just a running QB and would never be anything different but turned out to become the leading QB to trow touchdowns this year and the best running QB ever in the NFL he shocked the world on what he could do most of all sliced the doubters.
This season for Lamar was amazing but he did have to go though a lot of hate from last season even though he did make to the playoffs he did not play good at all in the first half he threw only 3 times and did not even get a completion he looked and played awful he booed in on his home field and all the haters came back to try to bring him down with them but he did not let that happen he went to the QB's coach and asked him over the off season what could he do to improve himself. He asked his teammates to come with him to help him train he asked the back up QB to give him pointers on what he thought that Lamar could do better and Lamer listed and got better and better and he was ready to go out play with a chip on his shoulder from the last season and Come out with a bang.
Lamar did come out with something to prove and he showed that in Miami it was the first game of the season people thought the ravens wold win but not be how the did it they just killed them it was like the rave were playing a collage team they were not just trying to win they were trying to prove something after that horrible loss that had the year before and the score ended up being 59-10 it was total blow out and Lamar and the ravens were riding high until they lost 2 straight in week 3 and 4 so they were 2-2 on the season and barley won the next two against two teams that were not very good. Then the Ravens had to go into Seattle and show the what we were made of and we did the
Seahawks were a very good team and the ravens won and were 5-2 and never let up and ended the season 14-2 they just destroyed all the other teams but then again the ravens went up against the titans and the Ravens were supposed to kill this team but they were good and the ravens did not show up the play in that game lost and just like that their season was over but I think that Lamar will come back work hard ask people what be can do better get their opines and try to do the best he can to do them.
So in the end Lamar making sure he that he gets the help that he needs by asking diffent peole what he can do to make himself better I think he will be just fine for next year and the yars to come.

053B9760748C,"The Face on Mars was not created by aliens, and does not prove that there is alien life on Mars. The Face was created simply by poor camera quality and an optical illusion. The later pictures of the Face taken in 1998 and 2001 prove this theory even further. If you look at the later pictures, you can clearly see that the Face is nothing more than a natural formation. NASA is also in support of finding alien life, so they would have no reason in trying to disprove that aliens are not real. So, the face is nothing more than an optical illusion, and not something created by aliens.
The Face on Mars is nothing more than an optical illusion and a natural formation working together. If you look at the picture of the Face from 1976, then it is very convincing proof that the face was the work of aliens. However, the picture of the Face that was taken in 2001 shows that the Face is simply a rock formation with shadows where the eyes and mouth should be. This is also proven with the picture that was taken in 1998. Even though there is clouds over the Face, you can still tell that there is no alien creation in the picture. Garvin brings up a comparison of the Face to a ""Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho,"" which is a ""lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars."" By drawing this comparison, it gives us something we can easily compare the Face to on Earth. People don't claim that the ""Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain"" was created by aliens, yet it is easily comparable to the Face.
Alien life on Mars would support NASA. It would bring great attention to the space program, and more funding. If NASA were to find aliens, they wouldn't hide it from the public. Whenever the picture was first taken in 1976, NASA released it to the public only a few days after it was taken. Although the picture had a theory to disprove that it was the creation of aliens along with it, NASA still released it almost immediatly. This is proof that NASA is in support of finding alien life becuase they were not afraid to release something that could possibly prove it. Even after NASA ended the Viking missions, they still went back to take more photos of the Face. This would either prove the conspiracy theorists even more, due to advancments in technology which would allow for higher resolution photos, or it would prove NASA's theory that shadows were creating the optical illusion. The pictures helped the case of the latter. Because of how much clearer the picture taken in 1998 is compared to the picture taken in 1976, you are able to see much more detail of the Face, and can easily tell that it is just a mesa. Conspiricy theorists claimed that the alien markings were hidden by the haze in the picture, which would later be disproved by the very clear picture taken in 2001. So, if NASA were not in support of finding alien life, why would they release three pictures that could possibly prove alien life?
In conclusion, the face was not created by aliens. NASA is also not trying to hide any evidence for alien life on Mars, so if this were the creation of aliens, NASA would fully support it. NASA released three photos of the Face, all which had the possibility of proving that it was the creation of aliens, yet they still released them.

3FDDD603DDF5,"Have you ever asked advice from anyone? How many times have you asked? Asking advice is pretty important if you're one of those people that depend on people to make your decisions. But why should we ask multiple people for advice?
Well lets start off by how advice is important. Advice is a suggestion or recommendation that a person gives to you in order help in your decision-makings. It can affect your life greatly by which choices you make. So that's why it's important to get feedback from multiple people. Once you have gathered information from other people, you can compare other people's responses with others to see what would be good or bad. One example was when I asked my friends which sports I should play. I came up to at least 10 or more of my friends for advice. Then I compared some answers with others. And it seems that a lot of people thought I was good a Basketball. So I tried it out, and it was the perfect sports for me. But still, why should we ask multiple people for advice?
We rely on others everyday in our lives. Either by life choices or just helping people. There are many ways to help people, but we mostly help people with advice. Asking several different people is a great way to get advice. You could ask you parents, friends, uncles, anybody! Recently, I went on a trip to the mountains. I was either deciding if I wanted to ski or snowboard when I got there. Wasn't sure of my decisions, I asked my family members and friends. out of 8, 6 said skiing because it was easy and it was my first time. So I agreed. Opinions can vary when asking many different people. It's good to ask for many different opinions. Otherwise you won't come out with a good outcome. Another example could be during science class. Sometimes you have to try the experiment 50 times in order to make your final outcome or decision.
Why should we ask multiple people for advice? How does it benefit you? As a result of asking many people for their opinion, many people have matured in life making better choices. This benefits us as a person when we grow up to make our own decisions. So that's why advice can really be important in tough choices. So always try to get advice from your peers when you need it.",,406,Seeking multiple opinions,Independent,"When people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person.

0C7C06A6D656,"To The Principal:
I believe Policy 1 is appropriate, because letting students use there cell phones during their free time is not hurting anyone. The students should be aloud to use them only during lunch periods though because if the are free to use them during transition periods then they may tend to tell answers to homework or test.
Another reasonable time is before the bell rings in the morning before class starts because that is another free time that would not effect there school work.
If the policy allows students to use cell phones during other free time periods besides lunch and morning free time, then I believe that students may forget or just not turn off their cell phones and then that may effect their test scores, even their overall class grade.
I would give the students chance at this Policy and then if there is any problems caused by it then the Policy should be banned completely. The question is will the students follow the policy, so I leave the judgment up to you. ",,179,Cell phones at school,Independent,"Your principal is reconsidering the school's cell phone policy.

Seeking opinions from multiple opinions can help someone make a better choice because you can get more options on what to do or say ,and you may like one opinion better than one of the other opinions .
Getting more options on what to say or do can help you make a better decision because say if you're about to participate in a life changing event . One of your best friends can talk you out of participating in a life changing event; the event can change your life for the worst or for the better .

You may like one opinion better than one of the other opinions. The advice and opinions from your friends will most likely be different from each other.

44E2726DA1B3,"Your principal has decided all students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity. I agree because now days all kids do is stay home and be on there phones and do nothing. I know that because I used to do the same thing before and i didn't like to do anything at all but then I started playing a sport and it help a lot but i think that. Participating in a extracurricular activity may help you by staying healthy, get you out of trouble,and get you in a good college.
one example is staying healthy by playing a sport you can help prevent a lot of things like maintain a good weight, and keep you from getting sick. Keeping a good weight is good for your health because it keeps you from getting other diseases,more than 1/4 of the people in the U.S. are obese. Why not start at a young age and prevent from being sick and other things. Another thing that can help is eating healthy, we can prevent sickness to in order to do that you might want to think about trying out a new sport.
Another example is getting you out of trouble you can avoid a lot of drama. I learned that social media can get you into a lot of trouble, half of the time a lot of the drama comes from social media. Maybe if you join a club or a sports team you can think before doing something that can get you in trouble. One time my friend made the soccer team but she got in trouble so they kicked her off the team and she learned from her mistake and never got in trouble again. When in your in a cub or playing a sports half of the time you don't have time to be in drama get in trouble.
Last example is joining a club, working on the year book,serve in the student council and, playing a sport can get you into a good college now a days colleges are looking to see if you have participated in any sports or clubs. When i graduate high school i want to go to college and a study to be a general surgeon and participating in a sport or joining a club can help me get into a college. You meed new people when you join new clubs and make new friend ships. When you want to go into a club or in sports do something that you like not something your friends like or something that can help you in life with.
In conclusion staying healthy,getting out of trouble,and going into a new college can help you when you participate in a extracurricular activity. staying healthy by playing a sports and eating healthy can prevent you from getting sick. Staying out of trouble can avoid a lot of drama from school and social media think before you do something your going to regret .

First, driverless cars are too risky. It is dangerous to be in a vehicle that you can't control. If you were to be in a driverless car and something goes wrong do you even know what to do? Its like any other electronic that may need to be charged and things that charge have the possibility of blowing up. It's not like a motorized car with common mistakes it'll be something most mechanics haven't seen before, and would have to refer you to someone else who may be far and expensive.
Second, it would be very expensive. Smart cars are expensive and these are even smarter cars. In the article, it said ""Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Nissan plan to have cars that can drive themselves by 2020."" which are expensive branded vehicles and that makes driverless cars cost even more. The newer the more expensive. Also, if your driverless car needs repaired then it will be very expensive because not many mechanics will have the parts and the experience for these cars.
Last, because it's a law. It's a law for a reason and there must have been problems with this before for this law to have been put in place. In the article, it said, "" In most states it is illegal to even test drive computer-driven cars"" so why would they be safe to put on the road?

I had learned about ""Unmasking the Face on Mars,"" and now i have to interview with Mrs. Sally Backbone because she thinks the face was created by aliens when I beg to differ!
Ms. Breadwill here to do an interview with Mrs. Backbone, because she thinks ""Unmasking the Face in Mars"" was made by aliens. I've did some research and i have all the answers to your questions Mrs. Backbone. Let's Get Started! "" Few scientist believe the Face was an alien artifact and i think they are right"" said Mrs. Backbone. "" Well your certainly not wrong Mrs. Backbone, but cheif Jim Garvin told us "" We photographed the Face as soon as we could get a good shot at it, plus what about in the years of 1998 and 2001."" replied Ms. Breadwill. I immedeitly showed Mrs. Backbone the photos that were taken in the year of 1998 and in the year of 2001 and she was speechless.
Mrs. Backbone had another question for Ms. Breadwill (me). I told Mrs. Backbone to let all the questions she needed to answer be said. Mrs. Backbone told me that The Face on Mars was located at 48 degrees south martain latitude. Ms. Breadwill shook her head and replied "" Your wrong, because the scientists and I studied and found out that The Face on Mars is located at 41 degrees north martain latitude."" Mrs. Backbone was once again speachless and i think i seen her roll her eyes. "" Mrs. Backbone how are you feeling?"" Ms. Breadwill commented. Mrs. Backbone simpliy sighed and said "" Can we move on to the last question?""
Mrs. Backbone had one more question, and i was hoping it wasn't too hard since I have been answering all her questions correctly. Mrs. Backbone said, "" the Face is not a natural landform and I still believe there is an alien monument. I sighed and told her she was wrong once again. She yelled "" How?!"" I simpliy told her On April 5, 1998 when Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia for the first time, Micheal Malin and his Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) team snapped a picture ten times sharper than the original Viking photos. Thousands of anxious web surfers were waiting when the image first appeared on a JPL web site, revealing... a natural landform. There was no alien monument after all."" I also told her on April 8, 2001-a cloudless summer day in Cydonia-Mars Global Surveyor drew close enough for a second look. They had to roll the spacecraft 25 degrees to center the Face in the field of view."" She asked me ''Was that all?'' Ms. Breadwill told Mrs. Backbone one last thing and it was "" What the picture actually shows is the Martain equivalent of a butte or mesa-landforms common around the American West."" Mrs. Backbone had all her questions answered, so I believe that my work here is done!

F548FB9448B8,"Changing the election by popular votes for the presidents of the United States is fair right? We'll it says according to a Gallup poll in 2000, taken shortly after Al Gore thanks to the quirks of the electoral college won the popular vote but lost the presidency over 60 percent of the voter would prefer a direct election to the kind that we have now.
Next, There are problems with the electoral college system voters vote not for a slate of electors, who inturn electthe president. Imagine if we had electoral votes it would be much easier and fair for all the people, than just rather have senate or House of Representatives have to pick, or Congress. At the most basic level,the electoral college is unfair to voters.
Then, Some of the problems that we have, Because of the winner take all syste, in each state, candidates don't spend time in states they know they have no chance of winning and that's a big problem focusing only on the tight races inthe ""swing"" states. It is informing us that During the 2000 there was a campaign that seventeen states didn't see the candidates at all,including states Rhode Island and South Carolina. and voters in 25 of the largest media markets didn't even get to see a single campaign ad. If anyone has a good argument for putting the fate of the presidency in the hands of a few swing voter, they have yetto make it.
Last, It almost obvious the electoral college is unfair, outdatedand irrational. And the arguments against direct elections are spurious at best. It's hard to say this butBob Dole was right he said to Abolish the electoral college. Given that many voters vote one party for president and another for Congress, the House's selection can hardly be expected to reflect the will of the people. In 1968 a shift of just 41,971 votes would have deadlocked the election then, In 1976, a tie would have occurred if a mere 5,559 voters in ohio and 3,687 voters in Hawaii had voted the other way. The election is only a few swing voters away from catastrophe
In conclusion, we voters have to stand up for our rights achieve our goal making this a better country and society to live in. Electoral votes should be made it is a much easier system. Changing the election by popular votes for the presidents for the United States is fair right? It is fair because it makes our country muche easier and better place to live.

2C66292169DC,"Phones and Driving
Is it hard for you to put your phone down while driving? Hopefully it isn't because there are so many things that could be prevented.
Most of the time, people who text and drive think they can do both things at once.
Previous studies have shown,""In the United States,3328 people were killed in motor vehicle crashes that involved distracted driving in 2012 alone..."". This shows that it's become very common which is absolutely wrong,your keeping you eyes off the road each time you glance over at your phone. As we know, anything could happen during that time you kept your eyes off for a few seconds.
Also a main reason why you shouldn't operate both things at once, is simply because it's illegal in some states. You don't want to be paying a fine much less do jail time. It's definitely not worth you being on your phone. And most definitely not worth your life or the life of others. For example,""A Minnesota woman sent and received 240 texts while driving one morning, before hitting and killing a motorcyclist on a highway exit ramp. she was acquitted of felony criminal vehicular homicide and instead convicted of careless driving,which carries a penalty of a month in jail and $50,000 in restitution"". It's very common for officers to check how long ago you were on your phone before the accident to see if that was what lead to it.
These accidents could be easily avoided, considering the fact that companies have built bluetooth in cars so that if you get a call you can pick up through the car. Or as plain and simple as it sounds just don't pick up the phone at all.

0E6ADE74D132,"Dear Principal,
I believe that policy 1 is the best policy to enforce about cell phones. This policy will allow us to contact our parents or friends if needed. The use of cell phones in class is wrong but having them during lunch will not cause disruptions. Cell phones can be an annoyance during class but having them when not in class is perfectly acceptable.
Cell phones are disruptive to teachers and other students during class. If a phone goes off while others are trying to learn it interrupts their attention and annoys the teacher. However having cell phones during lunch or free periods would not disrupt any learning because you are not in a classroom. As long as cell phones are turned off and not being used during class time I see no reason why students should not be allowed to have them.
If a student gets sick or needs something having a cell phone with them can let them call home to contact someone. Even though they can call from the office having a cell phone on hand is a quicker and easier way to contact somebody. Also if a student has some kind of after school practice and can't have their phone with them at school then they won't be able to let their parent know if practice is running late or will finish early. Cell phones are necessary for students to have.
Policy 2 states that students can not have phones at school at all. If you choose policy 2 then students will still bring their phones and use them even more. Teenagers do what they are told not to do. If you tell us we can't have our phones that will just make us want to have them more. Policy 2 will just create more cell phone usage at school and more disruptions to the learning environment.
As you can see I believe that policy 1 is the best policy to enforce at this school. It will let students have their phones outside of class and they can have them if they need to contact some one. Even though cell phones are a nuisance to class this policy only lets you have them when you are not in class. Cell phones are necessary for contacting a parent or just for texting a friend. This is why policy 1 is the best policy for our school.

709EF21B80F2,"Everyone is different. The experiences people have and genes they get are all different. People often have varying cultures, beliefs, and backgrounds. This diversity, however, can be used to an advantage by seeking out many different people when it come to advice. It is important to ask multiple people for advice because people often have multiple opinions, different experiences, and different perspectives on looking at things.
First and foremost, it is important to ask multiple people for advice because people often have multiple opinions and ideas for what to do. For example, one time I was fencing and my next bout was against a tough opponent. The opponent's skill was far beyond mine, however, if I learned how he fenced and how to counter him, I might be able to beat him. I asked many different people about how to counter him and they all told me different things. Even though everyone told me something different, I could use this knowledge to my advantage and combine my knowledge about him in the past to formulate a plan and act on it. In the end, I won all my bouts and ended up winning the tournament. This shows that even though multiple people may have good advice on what to do, the wisdom of the crowd is ultimately the best option. This means that combined, many people together is smarter than any one person, and this will help a person get better advice.
In addition, it is important to multiple people for advice because different people have different experiences on what to do. Some people went through the exact same problem, so they may have better advice than those who have never been through it. They also might have an idea that has not been thought of by me, but will easily solve the problem. Due to their experiences, people only think a certain way, and somebody might have a way that is perfect for this problem. Advice comes in many different ways, and different people have different strategies for succeeding in life. What will work for one person may not work for another, which is why people need different advice. For example, quotes are a type of advice, however they are written by countless different people. The different experiences of people can guide them to look at things differently which leads to my final point.
It is important to ask multiple people for advice because people have different perspectives on looking at things. Throughout a person's lifetime, they have experienced many different things, and learned from those experiences. Everyone has different experiences, and a different perspective to things. This way, asking different people for advice would help that person get a different outlook on the problem, and a different perspective on the problem. This will help them understand the full problem. It is also important to get an understanding of the way other people think. Different people think in different ways, so even if nobody comes up with advice on the problem, the way they think could inspire another person to come up with a solution to the problem.
In conclusion, it is important to ask many different people for advice because people have different ideas, experiences, and perspectives. America is a diverse country, and that is what makes it strong. The diversity of people is something to take advantage of, not ignore, and different people produce different advice. In America, people are luckier than most, because of the vastly different cultures, backgrounds, and beliefs. The tools are there for people to use if they chose to do so.",,593,Seeking multiple opinions,Independent,"When people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person.

77E95471DE20,"Is being home school a efficient way of learning or is it an excuse for sleeping in more? Would it be more beneficial to have school online? Most student don't come to school nowadays and they rather stay home and not doing anything. The numbers of student attending school have decrease by a enormous amount. Have an online school/classes would beneficial to many students.
Have school provide online classes can help a lot of student who don't want to wake up in the morning. Most students and teachers have to wake up really early just to do to school. While some don't have to wake up early. If school had online course then students and teachers don't have to wake up early and worried if they are late. Another reason why school have online course is that it would reduce the amount of paper. Most teachers tell their students to recycle their paper if they don't need it anymore. Most of the student will not hear or ignore what the teacher had said and they throw the paper away into the trash bin. One of the positive reason would be that more trees would be save and the usage of paper would reduce. Beside that reason ,it would make grading a lot more easier for teacher by having the online course do the grading for them. The amount of work the teacher would have would decrease rapidly for them. Make them have more time to plan for the next class or have more time for them self.
Sometime using technology can be a bad thing as well. Many of the thing we do at school can help us in the real world. One of the thing that school help us with is social skills. When people use their electronics they are not interacting with other by face to face. Which reduce the social interaction with other people. School is environment that help student build up their skill so when it time to pick a collage or it time to have a job ,they will know what to do and they don't have to get nervous or anxious about how their interview was or if they got in to the collage. Another reason why school help is that some student many not have the money to own an electronic or many have really bad connection to the internet. In school, student don't have to worried about not having an electronic or if they have bad internet. The school can provide a students with paper so they can do their work at school and at home. The third reason is the student not doing the program at all. Most student will do the program ,but there will always be student who don't do the program. It nature that there will be some students that won't do the program at all ,but that is the chose of the student if they don't want their education.
The chose on have online course can go both way ,it depend on the on problem if most student and teacher complain about wake up to early and not having enough time to get every ready. In my opinion it depend on the situation the school is having ,if it the only way to have to have student to do their work and get everything done then go for it. There is no good or bad option for this. It's all on the situation on hand. Both thing have there goods and there bad ,but it is up for these school departments to know if it will help the student or make it worse than it was already.
In conclusion ,it would be beneficial for the school if they had online course for the student but sometime can't be a good thing. It depend on the situation the school is having. If it the only option to have online course then go for it ,but if their is there no problem at the school then let the student go to school and build up their skills for real life situation in case they don't know what to do.",,681,Distance learning,Independent,Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing.

To begin with, cars have a big impact on polution and limmiting car usage would reduse gas emissions. It may not seem that much but shown in source one cars alone is responisble for 12% of polution in europe and 50% in the uninted states. Also its obviouse that private car ownership is increasing because people see it as freedopm and thats a problem. Goverment is trying to densinin citys and areas so cars wont be such a nessesity. life without cars would be just fine a perfect example are the suberbs area of germany where practicaly no one has a car and they love it.

In source two people where asked to limit driving and people who didnt where fined 31 dollars. people are so depend most people where in out rage and got thier car impounded. life is to reliant on cars for day to day activity and smaller citys are soffocating in smog.
Also, limmited car use could help communitys bond. With public transportantion closer ad local shopping areas instead of drving along a highway just to get to a mall. with a little help from public transportion i think it would impact a nations heath with unregognized excercise. simple walks for dady to day things and less polution is an over all benifit in conclusion, people should think about the affects of car emissions and help a new trend.

Established in 2006, it prohibits street parking, driveways, and home garages, allowing car ownership but limiting parking to large garages on the development's edge, costing $40,000 per space. This innovative concept has led 70% of Vauban’s families to live without cars, with 57% selling their cars to move there. Emphasizing “smart planning,” Vauban is a model in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, a critical factor in combating global warming. The district, home to 5,500 residents, showcases how suburban areas can be more compact, accessible to public transportation, and less car-dependent.

B864F3DC71FC,"Advice is a good thing to ask for when you are unsure about a decision you want to make. Many people believe that you should only ask one person for advice when you have a problem, but I disagree strongly. Asking more than one person for advice can help someone make a better choice, for it can keep you from making mistakes, make your decision easier to make, and help you see others point of view.
To begin with, making a mistake is not a hard thing to do in this world, just one wrong word and there is a big problem. Sometimes, you might think that you are doing something right, but end up hurting another persons feelings. This is a reason why asking for advice from others is a good thing to do. For example, you get into an argument with your friend because you accidentally said something that hurt their feelings, so you ask for advice from your other friends to refrain from making the same mistake as before.
Also, when you ask for advice it not only helps stop you from making mistakes, it makes your decision easier to make. Some decisions are really hard to make especially when it comes to the people you care about. Which is another reason that asking others for advice is very important. When you have others to help debate on which choice is the best for you, it makes the decision way easier for you to make. For instance, after you ask for advice you and the people giving you advice could talk about it, to help you realize the best choice to make.
Lastly, other peoples point of view is very important when it come to confrontation. When you are arguing with someone, you might think you are right in the moment but realize how wrong you were later. When you ask for others advice they might give you the point of view of the person you were arguing with. In a typical case, you tell your friends your side of the story and they help inform you on the other persons point of view to help you understand that not everything that you said or did was not the right thing to do in that situation.
In conclusion, no one knows what to say or do in every situation , and that is why asking for others advice is important. They are not going to all say the same thing but that is the best part about it. With all the different opinions being thrown at you it can help, keep you from making mistakes, make your decision easier, and help you see others point of view.

CB0A108B7695,"Is the cost to potentially end a life in a matter of seconds and cause collision in exchange to glance at your mobile smartphone worth the risk. Is it really worth causing harm to yourself and others to check if your smartphone received a notification. Do not risk the lives and safety of other people on the road because you're preoccupied with irrelevant phone use.
Issues such as accidents , deaths, tickets, etc can be avoided if the owner of the mobile device does not allow distraction by the device overcome them. Most drivers who usually drive while using their phone take matters such as the effects very lightly and not serious enough. They do not understand the consequences and the permanent changes when it comes to the controversy. Many drivers claim that there are no bad results or claim that all the fuss is unnecessary and exaggerated. What they do not comprehend is in a matter of seconds everything could be a blur and possibly be the end. When driving, the driver should take much precaution and take driving on the road very serious and not as a joking manner. Before even compulsing to use the mobile phone , think about who you as a driver could put in danger while on the road and think clearly while reflecting the consequences.
There are many forms to be away from the mobile device until the driver arrives at the destination to use the device once again. The driver must find strategies to help the bad habit end or find a way to resist the desire to obtain the device. Instead of having the compulsion to utilize the smartphone the driver can do many things to avoid causing accidents. For Example, if the driver has no need or hurry to arrive at the destination , what can be done is they can pull over on the side of the road or find a destination to park and have the liberty to use the cellular device.
Another useful strategy , could be to purchase a device that is Hands-Free Bluetooth Headset, which is a very effective technological device. By purchasing the device, it will reduce the constant movement to grab for the cellphone and revise it. The sole purpose of the device is to avoid the driver to grab the smartphone when there is an incoming phone call and occupy the device to make answering simpler. Also, causes no movement, only requires the driver to press a button and answer any incoming call without physically holding the phone, the device is only restricted to answer calls and listen to music.
There are certain states within the United states that yield the issue of obtaining a cellphone while driving. With having that issue and referring to fatal or minor accidents or issues relating to using cellphone causes the government to pass laws to better improve the issue. The cause to pass and enact the law over banning cellphone use while conducting a vehicle is from reports of fatal deaths, bodily injuries and many accidents have increased. There are some states that take note that majority of crashes or any incident involves the cellphone use. Despite efforts to control the use of cellphone calmly does not give any effect which leads to the enactment of the law. When using the cellular device comes a consequence to pay such as receiving tickets, fines and penalties will come along with not obeying the law. There will no longer be any tolerance of the mobile device use , if you are found at guilt , if the state you live in has passed a law over the driving no phone use.
One thing drivers will ignore and be naive to is the constant use of operating a vehicle with a cellphone in possession. It's unacceptable to be cause of a collision or even worse cause death to innocent driver due to the driver wanting to be on social media, talk on the phone,etc.
A driver can discover many useful methods to reduce the cellular use, such as using a Bluetooth Headset to answering or simply parking on the side of the road to attend the cellphone. Before causing harm put others people lives before the irrelevant technology that can be used later on. Take precaution, be aware of consequences and be reasonable if using the mobile device while driving which should only be used if there is an emergency or utilizing a Wireless device to answer phone calls.

365BF456DE1E,"A Face To Remember
A distinctly human face, nearly two miles in length, stretches across an arid, barren landscape. This came to be known as ""the face on Mars. It is a highly debated topic, being that some believe it was made by intelligent lifeforms, and others believe it to be a naturally formed landform. The latter is, beyond the shadow of a doubt, correct, the reasons range from picture evidence, to the same landforms forming on Earth, to the fact that it would help NASA's budget immensely if life were to be discovered on other planets.
To begin with, concrete photos have been released to the public that clearly show that the ""face"" is merely shadows cast onto a natural landform. Since the beginning of its discovery in 1976, ""Scientists figured it was just another Martian mesa, common enough around Cydonia, only this one had shadows that made it look like an Egyptian Pharoah."" Guess what? They were right, because in 2001, Mars Global Surveyor brought back a photo of the mesa that was in the ""...absolute maximum resolution,"" and it perfectly showed the mesa for what it was; a naturally formed chunk of land.
Another thing distinct about this landform is that we have similair, proven-to-be natural landforms on Earth. To quote Garvin, ""It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho."" This means it is an undeniable truth that these kind of things can form naturally. Of course because something can, usually means that it will, so, without denial, this landform is proven to be real, and able to form.
The final fact of the matter is that NASA would get an enormous amount of funding if they could prove there to be life among the stars. So the truth is, ""...defenders of the NASA budget wish there was an ancient civilization on Mars."" This discovery would lead to a piqued interest in space, and a need to conduct further research, meaning people would begin to give more donations to this new, interesting cause. In the end NASA would benefit, and the point is proven wrong.
Over all, consiracy theorist seemingly wish to stir the masses, and make distrust flourish, but most times their theories are easily dissproven. The theory of the face on Mars was simple, and very wrong. The topic of solid photographs seems not to be enough, but the similair landmarks being on Earth, and the way it would positively effect NASA's budget should be.

CA0FB6DB7B80,"I agree, with our school principal ideas, I agree that our school principal should add more afterschool activities or even better, in school activities, I also agree that all students, in Generic_School, should participate in at least one extracurricular activity. I think that after a long day of school, after a log day of studying hard and working hard, our principal should let students do an activity after school, such as sports, serving as a student council, and working on year books to unstress ourselves out. In my case I love playing sports so much, my biggest favorite sport is soccer, and I love it!! I think it would be woderful that our school principal decides to add a soccer activity afterschool, even tho you can run, get tired, and sweat alot by playing soccer. Soccer could be one of the best way to workout your muscles and body. And not just that, it could be one of the best ways to developed your brain, and the best way to give your brain a break from school things, such as math, science, art, mucic,civics,english,strings,etc.
As I said before, it's a great idea to have afterschool activies or in school activities. ""wow"". what a great way to unstress yourselves out after a long and tired day of school. Lately, most people, and student's stay after school to do an activity, but not all of the students participate in at least one activity after school or in school, some don't participate because they're parent's don't give them permission to stay after school, for at least 2 hours.
I think that parents, should give permission to their kids to stay afterschool and participate in at least one activity. It will be awesome that all students participate in an activity, even if you don't know how to play a sport or any other activities, you can learn as time goes through, you can learn by looking at other student's examples, over ad over and over again! yet I think that adding after school or in school activities, is a good way to get to know other students from different grade levels or further more, get to know different teacher's in our school, that we don't talk to, or don't get along with. By joining in afterschool or in school activities you can easily get along with other people, and who knows you can become friends or even better best friends.
As some people do this activities or play sports, others can volunteer to help in school, in whatever teacher's need help in. For example, others could work on keeping the school clean.
furthermore instead of having just sports activities, we should, or in other words the principal should decide to add more new school activities, like I said helping in school. My question is how can I help in school? well you can help in school for example,by helping the school clean. but in what ways ca I keep school clean? well one example is by keeping the school organized and neat. while other students could do other things, for example, students could participate in picking up trash that other student live during school hours.
Others can participate in keeping things organized in school such as keeping the library clean, by organizing the books by categories or by the authors, this way all students could colaborate to keep our school clean. Students should be able to colaborate in at least one thing, that way if all students colaborate and volunteer in this great idea, our school will look more organized and wonderful, not just from the outside, but from the inside too, because that way visitors or even our parent's who come to school sometimes, can notice how great our school looks like, because how our school looks like, tells other people alot about our school.
Students in our school are so helpful, as teacher's are too, our school has alot of wonderful, helpful and smart students. In my opinion I think that teachers or students cannot change the whole world, but we can change at least our school. We can make our school in to a better school, in to a a wonderful and nice school, even tho others made not like the idea of having extracurricular activities. Indo think we should have extracurricular activities,afterschool. Sometimes after a long day of school, I go home tired and bored. In my opinion that's why we should do afterschool or inschool activities, so when school ends, we can go home happy and not tired. As I said before, sports is a good way to end school and go home happy. All activities, doesn't matter if is in school or afterschool can help you alot, it entertains you and helps you take a break from school. When school ends, some people are bored, tired, sleepy, mad, sad, depressed, etc, but if our school principal adds new activities after or in school, those students that are sad, mad, depressed or tired after school, can go home happy and with a positive attitude.
Overall, in conclusion I do agree with our school principal's idea. I think teacher's and parent's should vote too, so we can have more new activities, so we can have in school or after school activities. Lets help our school! students!! Let's help teacher's and our principal decide, that way we will have new activities to do, in school and afterschool. Let's keep our school clean, beautiful, organized and a safe place to be in. Let's help our school look awesome, so when visitors come, or our parent's come to visit our school, they can say positive things and not negative things about our school. Let's be the awesome students we have always being, and I encourage you to join in our after school activities, that way we can always be happy and have a positive attitude.",,975,Mandatory extracurricular activities,Independent,"Your principal has decided that all students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity.

2BB849301FDD,"I am personally for the development of these cars. Driverless cars can bring so much to the world. Impaired driving accidents would decline in numbers because of these cars. One of the goals of driverless cars is to eventually have taxis from driverless cars and use less fuel as they would be more accessable than buses. These cars would also provide safety to the elderly. Once these cars are produced at large rates it will change everything.
Impaired driving is one of the most talked topic on the news as they are the cause of many deaths all through the world. Driverless cars could decrease the amount of deaths from impaired driving as the intoxicated driver could select an option to tell the car that he is unable to drive. The car could then safely take them home without the risk of anyone losing their life. Other forms of impaired driving exist such as texting. Reducing the amount of impaired driving deaths could help many people.
The cofounder of Google envisions a world where these cars could function as taxis and lower fuel usage. Big cities like New York City could benefit from this as they have hundreds of taxis throughout the city. Lowering fuel usage in just New York City would save not only fuel but also help the enviroment. In smaller cities everyone would not need a car. They would call for a taxi and just go where ever they need to go.
Everyday people always encounter elderly drivers who just seem a little too oblivious. Special cars with some sort of elderly setting could make driving safer for them. Sometimes an elderly person just wants to get out of the house and drive around. Well these cars would enable them to do this in a safe manner. This way they wouldn't run a red light or ignore a stop sign and potentially risk someone's life.
In conclusion mass production of driverless cars would benefit thousands of people. No one would be in risk of their life taken because someone made a choice to drive while impaired. Lower fuel usage would help our enviroment. Elderly people could be safer on the roads. This technology will help many for different reasons and will make roads a safe place for everyone.

E9E6AC0ABFB1,"Although teachers do have the ability to design projects over the summer to prevent a lost of knowledge over the long break however, students should be able to make there own decision on designing there own summer projects. A student-designed summer project can be beneficial in various ways such as allowing students to express there creativity, take matters into there own hands, and to be able to gain new learning experiences. Teachers should encourage this recommendation upon students so they are able to generate there own thoughts and ideas. Therefore, students would not have the mentality of doing work the teachers way, but to acknowledge there own differences among other students. The idea of summer projects is beneficial overall, but giving students the ability to design them will open a new door for learning.
As a student are given a summer project over a long course of time they should be able to design it since it is there own project. There own designs will allow them to generate unique ideas with the spread creativity which enhances there learning abilities. Bill Gates, a famous billionaire known for his worldwide inventions, with his past of dropping out of college and doing what he loved as a full time job allowed him to express his unique ideas while also becoming successful. This may not correlate with student-designed summer projects however, when individuals let there own ideas run free it allows them to experience new thoughts that can be put into use for better accomplishments. Student-designed projects will increase knowledge of students by letting there creativity and ideas run freely.
Students taking matters into their own hand is one step closer to adulthood so why not give students the ability to design a summer project. Giving students authority may be risky, but can be beneficial, so when becoming an adult they will have experience of independence and leadership skills. Marther Luther King Jr, a civil rights activist famous for his ""I have a dream"" speech, took matters into his own hands by protesting for equal rights. However, it led him into trouble with the law, but this activist is well known for his speech which he expressed his own ideas with the ongoing events that made the country realize how it is effecting others. Therefore, students that have authority on certain situations will allow better communication to express there own ideas and thoughts.
It is true when teachers say that some students learn effectively when other students teach them therefore, students that are allowed to express there ideas and share them with other will gain a sense of new understanding of knowledge. Student-designed projects will give them the sense of looking into new findings and understand them. An example would be if a student is stuck during a situation but another student expresses there thoughts, the student that had trouble can learn through others and then come to there own understanding. Acknowledging that others ideas can influence everyone as a whole can provide a well understanding of situations. The benefit of individuals letting there creativity spread allows other to gain new learning experience that have never been thought of before.
In the future, teachers should let more students take an advantage on projects to express there own thoughts with other and spread creativity all around. This act will teach students new learning experiences with also taking matters into there own hands. Everyone learns better when one expresses there thoughts, so why not let student be able to incorporate that into projects.

316621B5415B,"I think that driverless cars are good and bad. A car that navigates its own self, doesn't need a driver to take control of it, uses less fuel, and is controlled by a computer is most likely to be our future. We all want to do greater things, invent grather things, but we should also realize that some things can be thought of but not created. A driverless car has its ups and downs because if no human being is in control it could represent a bad aspect or a bad one. One good thing that comes to the top of my head is elderly people. This would be really useful to the elderly, especially because of muscle or bone aches. It reduces the number of crashes but could also influence them. The computer or whatever is controlling the car could misfunction or something could go wrong, therefore the car could end up crashing or causing an accident. Humans have the most control on a car. They decide the speed, direction, their surrondings. A computer could do thst too but not as acurate as a human would. Yes it is a very interesting thing thst could happen in the future but are we sure that we would want a machine to take over rather than a human. There are lots of arguements that can be done about this. Some people may agree, some people may not and thats fine because we all have different opinions.

D9363A8BDBB0,"Fellow citizens have many advantages if they start limiting car usage. There are many other things a person can do to avoid driving their motor vehicle. Car pooling, public transportation, riding a bicycle, and walking are a few ways you can get to your destination. Car usage is a big problem because of all of the disadvantages it has. The good thing is that by limiting car usgae emissions will lower, we, the people, can conserve resources and improve safety.
Lowering emissions has to do with greenhouse gas. Greenhouse gas is any gaseous thing in the atomosphere that is capable of absorbing radiation. It traps and holds heat to the atmosphere. If we lower greenhouse gas then it will prevent the earth from global warming. In source one, the writter says ""Automobiles are the linchpin of suburbs and that, experts say, is a huge impediment to current efforts to dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions tailpipes."" This line states that automobiles is becoming a hug problem because it uses gas and it causes greenhouse gas emissisions.
Conserving resources is an important advantage to limiting car usage. Resouces are what people, plants and animals need. To conserve resources, air pollution can not be a problem but it is because of the dieselsl from cars. ""After days of near-record pollution, Paris enforced driving ban to clear the are of the global city."" states, the narrator of source 2. This states that driving a vehicle that contains diesel engines has caused pollution and it has been banned to clear the air in the city. Air pollution is when harmful solid particles and gases mixed in the air. ""pedestrian, bycycle, private cars, commercial and public transportation"" are was to reduce air pollution, explains source 4.
Improving saftey is what earth needs to do. Safety is important and if car usage does not limit, people saftey will increase, and not in a good way. We can not continue living with the earth having problems because it will effect our safety. Air pollution will cause us to inhale dangerous particles and that will cause us, the people, to have a bad health.
In conclusion, there are many advantages to limiting car usage. There are many different ways from preventing bad things happening. If car usage increases then there will be many problems on earth. We can slowly make a change, avoiding car usage is hard but it must happen.

D4BC716CE227,"What do you do after school hours? A lot of students spend their time playing sports, doing homework, studying, and also hanging out with friends. My principal has recently added a new rule saying that students must participate in at least one extracurricular activty such as school sports, working on the year book, or serving for student council. I personally dont think this is a good rule for various reasons, school is enough for kids the way it is and students should be able to do what they want after school.
My main reason is that students already spend 7 hours every day at school and they shouldn't have to work more after school for things that might not even benefit them. I think studnets should be able to spend their time on whatever they like to do as long as they go to school alongside with it. Students should be able to decide what they want to do after school and can play sports and sign up for activitys if thats what they want to spend their time on but I dont think they should be forced.
Another reason why i think students shouldn't be forced to do extracurricular activitys is that most students are already stressed out with homework and studying outside of school. If students are already stressed out with outside activitys then why should they be forced to do another things on top of what they already have? A lot of students get stressed out over school related things and if the school makes them do more things outside of school it'll just make them more stressed.
Lastly, a lot of students dont just spend their time doing nothing all night, most students play a sport or play instrument or find something to do after school hours. And if they don't they're probably busy studying or working on homework. Students dont just sit around and do nothing all night so i think this rule is pointless because a lot of students are already busy doing things. And if some students have to do more things on top of what they already do then that will only cause more stress and might make grades drop because they don't have as much time for school things.

DB82C7F35E09,"In my opinion, students would benefit from working at home. Distant learning can help in many ways. The idea of distant learning could put less stress on students as a whole. And make a teachers job a little bit easier. It could possibly solve issues that students have in schools. Distant learning can also help the students that dont like school. Being successful would be a lot easier, do to the fact more learning exercises would be put to use.
Working at home would be a good idea for the the people that dislike school. If a student is more comfortable at home, they would perform better on the work their doing. Some students get distracted easily and can't focus around a large amount of people. Being at home would eliminate some of the distractions that occur while at school. To do school work at home is a big responsibility. Although, high school student are mature enough to handle the responsibility of working at home. The students that think they would do a better job at home should be granted the opportunity to do so. If students feels they would do better learning a different way i dont see why they should be stopped.
It'll be less stressful for teachers as well. They would have smaller classes to teach. Which means they can be more available to the students in their classrooms. Teachers would be able to accomplish more if their class has a full understanding on whats being taught to them. Therefore they can teach a consistent pace that everybody comfortable with. There will also be more room to help the students that learn at a slower pace than others. Students could be more confident knowing they have help when needed when they feel like their struggling.
The students that get bullied and picked on may not want to go to school. If they feel as if school is not safe for them, that can mentally mess them up. Bullying is a big issue for schools in the United States. If the students that are getting bullied dont have to go to school, they would feel more safe. If those same students worked at home, they would feel safe and still receive an education. I would rather for my kids to do school work at home if they was constantly being bullied.

E6D83F0D60B6,"For many years now people have been cutting down on the usage of their cars. Their are many advatages to limiting car usage like you become happier, less pollution, and money is spent wisely. many different outcomes come from limiting the amount of time you use your car.
In many countries around the world people have reduced the amount of time they use their cars and the outcome has been phenomonal. Heidrun Walter was asked about how she felt about taking cars out of her life, she answered ""When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way,"" (Rosenthal par3). Cars have been liked stress and when cars were taken out of Carlos Arturo Plaza's life he said ""It's a good opportunity to take away stress..."" (Selsky par24). When cars were taken out of their lifes they felt happier and stress free.
In these last few centuries we have polluted the world more than anyone else has. This is due our technological advances. One of the biggist advance in these centuries is the motor vehicle. The car has now become a houshold item. Cars are one of the main reasons why our ozone layer is open and we responsible for ""50 percent...of greenhouse gass emissions"" (Roseenthal par5). It's shoking to see how far we have advanced but to see how much we have destroyed in the world at the same time is crazy. Paris has become so poluted that they had to get a ""partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city"" (Duffer par10). ""Congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of france, after five-days intensifying smog"" (Duffer par14). Imagine what would happen if cars were recuced in use for a month.
For many people in these countries they have gotten many benifites back. The government has always used ""80 percent of appropriations have by law gone to highways and only 20 percent to other transport"" (Rosenthal par9). Its shocking how much money goes to bulding roads and not things for the development of our comunities. The people in Bogota,Colombia have cut back on their use of their cars anf the money the government usually uses for cars or gas is now going to other things. ""Parks and sports centers also have boomed throughout the city.""(Selsky par28). many of the ""uneven, pitted sidewalks have been repaced by broad, smooth sidewalks; rush-hour restrictions have dramaticly cut traffic; and new restaurants and upscale shopping districts have cropped up"" (Selsky par28). When the goverment did not have to pay for highways or streets they used that money for parks or smooth sidewalks.
Their are many advantages to limiting car usage like people become happierand stress free, less pollution, and money is spent wisely.

Yes, it is cool and fun to have but, its not always about having fun; safety comes first. There are lots of problem that can occur with these cars such as, they can malfunction, people might have to learn how to drive again considering the fact that these cars will be handled differently and there will be problems with safety. If an accident were to happen, who would be at fault? Can we actually blame the car?
Driverless cars can be very dangerous. If these cars are not built the correct way, they could malfunction and put somones life at risk. Although the cars are tested multipule times, they will never be perfect. Just think about all the new Iphones or other devices that have been upgraded; they still have problems and things that people would like to be improved.
Another reason why I am against driverless cars is because people might have to learn how to drive again. Depending on how the smart cars are made, people might have to go through driving test similar to if u wanted your motorcycle license. There will be lots of new technology, responsibilites, rules, and regulations that come with the smart car. Do ur really think people would want to go through all of those test just to get another car?
The last reason why I disagree with the smart cars is beacuse of safety. The smart car can become a huge safety hazard. In paragragh nine is says,"" Presently, traffic laws are written with the assumption that the only safe car has a human driver control at all times.""

I personally do not think students should be required to perform community service.
I think doing community service is great and that kids should at least do some.
But if it is required then that takes away from it being a good deed.
If you want some good done you should encourage community service more but don't require it won't teach anybody a lesson if they did not chose to do so themselves.
It would be hypocritical if you require it and that does not look good for any school if they are proclaimed to be a hypocrite by the public.
So I ask you to acknowledge my opinion as it was asked.
Don't require community service.
Because when something takes up a person's free time that makes that person sad and you want a happy community don't you?
Like the saying goes all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, it would also in the world of to day make him and his community be the butt of someone else's joke and no body wants that.

dying in a hospital bed is my grandpa with a blood clot stuck in his heart and i don't find out until the end of the day because my parents had no way of getting in touch with me, considering i was at school and my phone wasn't aloud to be turned on. So there I am, walking into the hospital seeing my grandfather laying on a bed with all the life sucked out of him. I didn't even get to have my last words with him before he passed away.

I don't think that having phones out during lunch and in between classes is a big deal at all. I mean, what is the difference. As long as the phones are turned off during class how can it possibly bother anybody? In case of emergencies or with family issues, it can always be useful to be able to check your cell phone for voice mails, missed calls, or text messages.

However one statement that does in paragraph 2 is ""Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size."" Meaning it's not that far away to reach.
Yet one paragraph that is arguing with wanting to go to Venus is ""Each previous mission was unamed, and for good reason, since no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours.""
However one statement from paragraph 4 that shows that they wanna go to Venus is ""Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system."" This paragraph also claims that Venus was most likely covered with oceans and still supported different forms of life.
In paragraph 5 though, one of the statement claims ""not easy conditions, but survivable for humans."" Stating that Venus's climate and other factors made being there a pain, but again, it's for sure possible.
In paragraph 5 as well it says ""(NASA) has one particularly compelling idea for sending humans to study Venus.""
Going a little further, paragraph 6 just explains that to understand more about Venus, that they would have to get much closer, and also describes how scientists are working on innovations that would make the tech and gear that is necessary better and able to last longer.
They are doing so because they can't understand as much when they have no evidence
Paragraph 7 has no claims on how you should go to Venus whatsoever, but instead it is talking about older tech used in the 1800s.
However in Conclusion, in paragraph 8 they stated ""Venus has value, not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself, but also because human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors.""

12BB75BB1FDF,"Dear, Mr. President
I need to get something off my chest, we need to change the way we the people vote. An Electoral college isn't the right way to do it anymore. We need to change to the peoples popular vote. Because this is a country for the people, we aren't voting for the president, and because electoral vote just isnt't fair.
Mr. President the first reason why we should change the popular vote is because this country is supposed to be for the people and in an electoral vote it's not. In the electoral vote its about the government and who they want as president and alot of people DO NOT like that. People of the United States of America should be able to vote and pick who they as a president of there country. It should be our right as Americans to be able to pick our own president not a bunch of old smart people in suits in Congress. I under stand that there is 538 as it says in the article What Is the Electoral College? by the Office of the Federal Register, but their is more than 300 million Americans. So techinically we aren't even voting for you.
Which brings me to my next reason, we aren't even voting for the president. When there is an Electoral college we are voting for the slate of electors in congress that will vote for the president as it says in the article ""The Indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses of the systems are wrong"" by Bradford Plumer. So like I said before a bunch of old men and old women are they taking our votes away from us. For example, in 2000 Al Gore would've won the election but because the electoral vote beat him. He had the popular vote of the people but says the congress chose other wise he lost the election. According to the same article as it says above. Over 60% of people rather people's popular vote other the electoral vote.
Last but definetely not least, the electoral college just isn't fair at all. Maybe it's fair for the government befoore they can basically just pick the president that they want, but it's supposed to be a country for the people. It says it in the Constitution
We The People not
We The Government . Also the winner takes all system, the candidates don't pay attention to the smaller states they just look and the big states like California, Florida, or New York. So technically they are cheating the electoral college because they don't pay attention to all the elected slates of those small states. According to the article "" The Indefesible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses of the sytem are wrong"" by Braford Plumer.
In Conclusion, Mr. President if you care about what the people want you would abolish the Electoral college. Because this is a country for the people, we aren't even voting for the president, and because it's just not fair. It needs to be changed to the popular vote. I've been waiting to get that off my chest for a while.

280C6F2C65F0,"Dear Principal,
In my opinion I think that cell phones would be ok to have in or at lunch and other free time that students are given. Schools are linnet and let us use our cell phones as long as its not in a class, but most of us feel as if we are breaking the rules. I think that in order for students to not feel like they have to be sneaky about cell phones in school, is to allow students to use their cell phones during the free time that students are given.
Most all students in junior high and high school have cell phones and bring them to school. I do not see the problem with having cell phones at school, but I believe the reason teachers have become so strict with the policy is because students are misusing the freedom that teachers have given. Also I think that students that enjoy to break the rules use their cell phones against authority because they know that it will upset the teachers that fallow the rules the most.
As students I think that we should have the right to use cell phones as long as we do not abuse the privilege of being able to use our cell phones in school, instead of not being able to use them at all. In most cases there are few students who abuse their cell phones. They abuse it by cyber bullying and other things that are not appropriate at any age epically our age alone. In many cases children our age are given cell phones by their parents for a reason, and that reason is not so that the child can text but so that the parents can reach them at any given time of the day and so in case of an emergency the parent or child can reach one another.
Many kids my age are not using cells phones for the right reason and its causing a great issue in the United States. Not only is texting in school becoming a problem but texting and driving is also becoming an issue as well. Most all students bring their cell phones to school weather its so that at the end of the day they can reach their parents or because they use it during school hours to text others that are in school as well. I and many other students keep their cell phones turned off during school so that they do not get on trouble and leave it in their lockers as well. In conclusion, students should be able to use their cell phones if they do not abuse it. ",,444,Cell phones at school,Independent,"Your principal is reconsidering the school's cell phone policy.

F69CFE5AEDCA,"Dear Senator,
According to an excerpt titled ""What is the Electoral College?"" by the Office of the Federal Register, the Electoral College is a process established by the founding fathers in the Constitution ""as a compromise between election of the President by a vote in Congress and election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens.""(Source 1.1) This process consists of a selection of 538 electors, the meeting of the electors where they vote for President and Vice President, and the counting of the electoral votes by Congress with a majority of 270 needed to be elected president. (Source 1.2-3)
The system of Electoral College is one of much controversy as to what to do with it. Keep it or toss it? 'Tis the question. According to an excerpt of The Indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong by Bradford Plumer, a Gallup poll taken in 2000, says that over 60% of voters would prefer a direct election to the one we have now. Apparently, the electoral college has failed us throughout the years because of the unfairness it can sometimes have. One example being presidential candidate, Al Gore, who was cheated out of his postion by the electoral college. The electoral college has caused ""close election(s) in which the popular vote winner can again lose the presidency"". (Source 2.9)
On the contrary, In Defense of the Electoral College: Five reasons to keep our despised method of choosing the President, an excerpt by Richard A. Posner, has a point when it says that when the people vote for the President they're actually voting for a slate of electors, thus each party votes for the electors who are trusted to vote for the right nominee. It says that very rarely has this trust been betrayed, only happening in 2000, when Gore was hijacked of his position, and centuries earlier in 1888. (Source 3.15-16)
So to keep or toss the Electoral College? 'Tis the question indeed, but the Electoral College has been proven to operate well enough for everyone for the past few centuries since the Constitution was made and the presidents were elected. It was said to fail us in the future but through 44 presidents it has only failed us a few times. Maybe we don't need to see the Electoral College in a black and white, keep it or toss it fashion but think to shape it so the system works better and in favor of the people with fewer kinks.

85D4A728E17E,"Technology has been rapidly growing every day that we use it. Whether it be smartphones, video games, or now... smart cars. Smart cars are cars that help you with your driving skills by telling you how close you are to something behind you, or even by stopping your car before you crash. Now, the big issue is creating driverless cars. This idea is extremely terrific and can cause a breakthrough in modern technology.
With driverless cars, no one needs to worry about buying any cars anymore. Sergey Brian thinks that ""driverless cars [can] form a public-transport taxi system."" This taxi-system will be able to take people to and fro wherever they like. Also, these cars will most likely only use up half of the fuel that regular taxis take.
Driverless cars will be more efficient than humans because of their faster response to driving situations. This is possile by sensors that ""can cause the car to apply brakes on individual wheels and reduce power from the engine."" Many sensors will have to be placed on the car to provide the safest driving possible. Google has put many sensors on their modified version of a Prius, such as on the wheel, roof, rearview mirror, and even a 3-D camera ontop of the roof. All of these sensors help to mimic the actual driving skills of a human, but better.
Some people may argue that the driverless cars are not safe because they still need some help from the passenger for emercency situations. They are wrong because humans can manage to stay alert while the driverless car is still driving. The car can manage to ""steer, accelerate, and brake themselves, but all are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills.""
This is only because the car has not been programmed to handle crashes, or roadside dangers yet. However, manufacturers are making new ""in-car entertainment and information systems that use heads-up displays."" These will help keep the driver alert at all times and enjoy their ride.
In more ways than one, the development of driverless cars will be a huge success in modern technology. Having a driverless car can make human lives easier, prevent most crashes, and cause a safe trip on the road. With their highly-alert sensor systems, and their fast-acting brakes the driverless cars will make sure that you get to where you are going fast, safe, and easy.",,398,Driverless cars,Text dependent,"In the article “Driverless Cars are Coming,” the author presents both positive and negative aspects of driverless cars.

F7D2548C3D54,"The Electoral College is a great wide spread idea that we should keep using for generations to come. Using this method to choose a president is highly sohphisicated and orginized, which helps important desitions. Also following the fact that the founding fathers established this as a compromise between both sides of the arguement. Not only does this presidential election choose just some president, but a president that you would agree with his/her terms.
Every vote counts, in this matter. Your vote helps the chooseing of not only the president but the vice president, whom also has a important role in the Electoral College. This election is held every four years on the Tuesday after the first Monday during November. On that day you would vote for the state's electors, which helps this certain process of chooseing a president. After the presidential election, the govener will prepare a certificate called ""Certificate of Ascertainment"" listing all canidates that ran for president and respective electors. The certificate also has other important duties such as, declaring the winning presidential canidates. They will then be sent to the congress and the National Archives, which is where the offical records of the presidential election is held.
Not every person agrees with these terms of an electoral college, but they are not wrong. Voters can not always control who they are electing for, voters would become confused in the long-term process, and seeming to be confused could jackup the canidate your voteing for. There could also be the problem of accidently sending two slates of electors to the Congress, but luckly last time that happened in 1960, the problem was resolved before chaos was released. Lastly the elecotoral college can be unfair to a majority of voters. Although it may seem bad, it could be the Hypocrites saying few lies that traveled fast around.
Another five reasons that help justify the electoral college are certainty of outcome, everyone's president, swing states, big states, and finally avoding run-off elections. having certainty exceeds share of popular votes. To have a president that a majority of people can agree on helps the risk of disagreeement. Swing states are more likely to have thoughtful voters. Big states helps restore balance in political issuses. Most importantly elctoral colleges helps avoid unknown problems of elections.

DF3EAEF0CA37,"In the passage, ""The Challenge of Exploring Venus"" the author suggests that, studying venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. Some of the reasons the author staes that venus is dangerous is because, the clouds have a highly corrosive sulfuric acid in the atmosphere, the surface's temperature averages over 800 degrees Fahrenheit while the, atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we are used to on Earth. Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar system. Adding onto that there are, erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and freuqent lightning strikes. Venus is actualkly a lot like Earth with its, volcanoes, density and size.
Despite The planet's dangers, Venus is a very interesting planet with many things that astronomers are astonishes by. They believe long ago, that venus was like earth by a lot. They also believe that venus was covered with oceans and could have supported tons of forms of life just like planet, Earth. Even today,Venus has feature that are very similiar to Earth's. One of the biggest reasons for wanting to find out more about Venus in a serious note is for a planetary visit, if the time were to ever come. A lot of scientists and astronomers are very intrigued into the idea of exploring Venus even more. NASA has one idea for sending humans to study venus. They want to scientists float above the surface of Venus in some sort of blimp-like vehicle.
I believe that we should explore venus, i would love to know more about Venus. It's always fun learning about things that you never knew, which a lot of people like the astronomers and scientists. I think that exploring and studying Venus is very dangeous consdering the surface tempersature and the risky weather.

Texting and driving is a major issue today. Although most people own and operate cell phones daily, there is a time and a place that they should be used, and while driving or operating another vehicle isn't one of them. People should not be able to text and drive because it causes accidents, it is a distraction, and it can seriously injure or even kill you or someone else.
Texting and driving can cause accidents. Many people think they can multitask, which leads them to believe that they can text and drive. This is incredibly dangerous especially since it has been scientifically proven that it is impossible to multitask. ""Trying more than one thing at a time - especially anything potentially dangerous, like texting while driving - seriously compromises our ability to complete the tasks safely and well. Equally important, repeatedly switching back and forth from project to project, like a hummingbird darting from flower to flower and then back to the original flower, can impair our ability to function at our finest."" According to https://health. clevelandclinic. org/science-clear-multitasking-doesnt-work/ .
Texting while driving is also a distraction from driving. This can be very dangerous because if you are distracted while driving you are most likely not driving safely. This can not only put yourself in danger but others as well. Even simply changing the song on your phone can put you in danger. While driving you should be completely focused on the task at hand, driving.
Finally, texting and driving not only puts you and others in danger, it can seriously injure or even kill. There have been countless news stories about people who were texting and driving and they got in an accident and died. We need to prevent this especially since a lot of those people were teens. Teens are especially at risk for this because we have a hard time putting the phone down in class let alone in the car.
In conclusion, I believe we should not be able to text and drive because a lot of people can barely text and walk. Even though owning and operating phones is a daily activity, there is definitely a time and a place for them to be used.

It may also give the kids a chance to stay active instead of going home and just going on there phones. They can help the school with extra stuff like help making the yearbook. This also can make a student get creative if they want to make there own after school club.
The reason kids have a chance to find there passion is because of the choices that the schools has. If the kid is athletic then the school must have all the sports as a choice and the kid can choice what he likes and if his first pick isnt his favorite he can just choose another sport until he finds the one he likes. Then once he likes it he can join a actual team and get good at it. Or if the school has a actual team for that sport he can tryout and see if he makes the team. If the student likes art they can go the a art class and either work on there art or try to get better and try new art techniques. If the student is into acting or something like that they can do drama class and act in plays and practice there acting skills.
Another reason why i think this is good is because it can keep the kids busy instead of them going home to play on there phones. The students can help the teachers with making yearbooks and if they are good enough they can also take some pictures of the clubs.

2387E5E90FE1,"My position on this situation is that it would help a lot of people out. In my opinion, I believe driverless cars would be a great idea. They could help with the flow of traffic, help people who are not the best at driving, and help prevent crashes form occuring.
According to the article, the evolution of cars has come a long way. In paragraph 3, General Motors was trying to create the concept of a car that would run on a special test track. It worked surprisingly well but it would turn out to be too expensive. In 2013, BMW developed ""Traffic Jam Assistant"" which a car would travel up to 25 mph. The only problem was that they weren't completely driverless.
It could steer, acceleerate and brake, which is an amazing concept and could help with elderly people who can stop in time or go fast enough to go with the flow of traffic. It states in paragraph 7 that, if a car happens to be in a dangerous situation, GM has created a system that will vibrate the seats when the driver needs to take over. While the Google car simply announces that the driver must take over. In paragraph 9, it says that in most states it is illegal to even test drive computer operated vehicles. If a new law is created and passed it will allow driveless car to be legal, I believe that they will become very popular.
Although the thought of this driverless car idea, the drivers need to be aware and still watch for any signs that something bad might occur. Drivers must always stay focus and with the right people driving them, it would be a fantastic idea. If the system were to malfunction and the car no longer can drive itself, then the driver must be ready and still know how to drive a car normally. With more testing taken place to see if that would ever be the case, people would be more willing to try it out and see if its a good idea. Who knows, it might be the next big thing.

E046108929C0,"Dear State Senator,
For years, the presidential election has been running with an Electoral College, one in which the public does not vote for their choice canidate directly, but instead for a slate of electors to have a final deciding vote. Although the system could have worked like a breeze when first originated-- a point to be reckoned with, since I do not see how the system ever correctly displayed the citizens of America-- the Electoral College method has proven itself to be un-deomcratic, unfair, and an unjustly irrational system.
Simply stated, the Electoral College does not allow an accurate representation of voter's beliefs, taking their votes and twisting, manipulating them into a deciding vote from electors. The popular vote can be seen as an input/output machine, the people's own votes going in the contraption, and once inside, the input is stretched and exagerated to output a ""neater"" electoral vote out of 538. While some argue that the Electoral College vote is usually rather close to the popular vote, it just isn't the same as when the Constution loosely states America as a 'for the people, by the people' nation.
Several times throughout history, the Electoral college has swayed the presidential election in a completely different route than what the outcome of the popular vote would have been. The perfect example, constantly brought up in arguments against the Electoral college, is the 2000 election with main canidates of Republican George Bush and Democrat Al Gore. Through the popular vote, it is clearly seen that a majority of voters chose Al Gore to be their president. Through the process of the electoral college and manipulation of votes, though, the Presidental canidate ended with George Bush winning the election with a 271 electoral votes versus a 266 pointed toward Gore, thus creating an entirely different viewpoint of the people.
The idea of an Electoral College is also what has swung possible voters out of voting rooms, the voting method's 'winner takes all' outlook overriding. With the set up of the Electoral college, popular voters decievingly decide for a slate of electors instead of a President. For example, if a majority of Florida electors voted for Bush, the entirety of Florida's 29 votes are down for Bush, even though not all electors really did vote that way. Those citizens in states who do not fit with what large majority of voters believe are discouraged in voting for their own canidate knowning that, no matter what, it's almost certain their state will end up giving its votes to the canidate they oppose. This can lead voters to not voting at all, creating an even less accurate election while the country pushes citizens to vote, frowning down on them if they do not.
Besides major points, there are many smaller faults wiithin the Electoral college. In example, there is always the possibility of a slate voting for a canidate that differs from the one they have pratically promised to vote for. The fate of our country is put into the hands of the 538 members of the electoral college, opposed to the vastly greater full population of American citizens. Also, with the 538 Electoral College members being an even number, although rare, it is more likely for there to be a tie than if the popular vote was used in deciding the presidential canidate.
A pro Electoral college argument is that the citzens in swing states-- states that are likely to go either way in an election instead of an almost certian outcome-- are more likely to pay attention to ad campaigns knowing that their state is most likely what will decide the winner of the election. Advocates say that they are, on average, most likely to be the most thoughtful voters, and that the most thoughtful voters should be the ones to decide our nations outcome. This outlook is littered with flaws, first starting off with the fact that swing states get more media coverage than the rest of the nation. These voters are valued more than others and are given more information to have an informed vote. Besides the fact that it is proposterous to value the vote of one citizen over another, this isn't fair to members of other states who recieve virtually no coverage due to canidates feeling like the state's vote has been secured since day one. The nation as a whole should recieve all the facts together with equal coverage, so that each and every voter can become a thoughtful one, and not only those located in swing states.
All in all, the decision to abolish the Electoral College is a backed up one, the facts and details there to support, meanwhile advocates for the practically ancient method don't have many solid counters to prove their point.
I hope you take this letter and it's claims into consideration.

6AEC3D4895A7,"When I think of school I think of a boring room, a teacher talking too fast during a lesson, a desk thats too uncomfortable, and peers i'm too afraid to talk to. It's hard to keep up in class when the teacher talks 100 words per minute. ""I wish I could learn in my room"". Many students constantly face these problems everyday. I do think students would benefit from being able to attend classes from home.
One big point is that students would be able to learn at their own pace. It's highly frustrating when my peers and I can't keep up with the teacher during the lesson. Students wouldn't feel rushed to understand the topic as they can pause the video as many times as they need to. Feeling rushed gives teenagers more stress and anxiety when they don't fully understand information a teacher is saying. It's a proven fact that students are able to learn better when they take their time with learning and understanding the information presented to them.
Second of all is that they are able to learn in the comfort of their own home. Most students get anxiety when they step into the building because of all the constant stares and looks they get. I hate coming to school because the amount of stares I get at seven forty-five n the morning is a lot on my shoulders. Some of my peers don't have proper socialization skills they need for their future. I had severe shyness up until 9th grade because I was always scared of talking to people I did and didn't know. Plus most students learn better by themselves rather than in a classroom. There are a lot more distractions in a classroom than there are at home.
Third of all no one would have absences. Students would be able to take care of appointments and not having to worry about missing class time. When I miss class time it always stresses me out to the max because I have to learn that information all by myself and hope that one of my classmates can explain it properly to me. Student's wouldn't have an excuse to miss any classwork since it would all be online. Teenagers are experts at using technology so they have no excuses what so ever if they miss work.
There are points to make about how students wouldn't benefit from taking classes at home. They could still get distracted. Since most teenagers have a phone it would be inevitable for them to not get distracted by it. They could also forget to watch the lesson. I have forgotten to do classwork at times. It will just slip my mind because I stress about so much that i'll just forget about it at times. The cheating could be a lot worse if students could take classes at home. No one would be watching them so they wouldn't get caught in the act.
I do think students would benefit from being able to attend classes from home. Students would be able to learn at their own time witch would be really beneficial to them and the teacher.

09537221A5ED,"""A choice is a wonderful burden to be shared""
-Daniel Radcliffe
Seeking multiple opinions can help someone make a better choice. Working together to make decisions has helped not only push humanity through brick walls, but find a better way around them to avoid the disaster. The entire government of the United States of America is based on this belief of multiple opinions being the correct way to solve a problem. In all decisions, there are multiple paths to take, but another influence can help not only to choose the right path, but to find new one (if needed).
Sometimes, other people have had to make impossible decisions in a similar scenarios as the one the advice-seeker is gong through. People that have been on this planet earth longer have had many more experiences then younger folk, and have gained more knowledge in the ways of life. This is why God gave us our parents. Our wonderful parents are here to help guide us through life, they are here to help us become a better version of themselves. Most children know that they can always go to their parents for advice, and they feel safe and comfortable doing so, knowing that something good will come out of discussing the choice and what to do. Choices are also frequently discussed, thought through, then solved with peers. In middle school, most do not have to make any life-changing decisions, but sometimes it can feel like it. Our friends, classmates, and team-mates often are able to relate to what we are going through. We are all a similar age and level of maturity.
People can also be leaning towards one choice for the wrong reasons. Many people at my age are like the thirsty sprinting towards poisoned water. It is terrible for them, but they are so in need that they drink it anyway, hoping for a miracle. People tend to have knee-jerk reactions, sometimes leading in the wrong direction. This is caused by the frontal lobe, the part of the brain that is used in decision making and long-term planning, is not fully developed until age 25. This means that minors tend to turn to the ""gut reaction"" part of their brain for major and minor decisions, usually strongly influenced by what their friends are doing, just to fit in. This can lead them to make stupid decisions that they later will regret. Turning to other influences to help make a decision can help avoid these unfortunate dispositions.
Last but not least, some people can get so caught up in a decision that they forget that it is not just affecting themselves. Our minds have been hard-wired to protect ourselves first since the beginning of time. Decisions are like lights, our own minds can defy us and twist our vision to make them appear brighter or dimmer. They can blind us from everything else going on around it, and make it impossible to see anything else until we turn it off. For example, when I was playing in a championship game of a soccer tournament in sixth grade, some of my team-mates did not try and play their best because they were scalding hot. They did not realize that this choice would cause us too lose, they thought their laziness would have no impact, but in the end, with three of our players walking up and down the field, we had lost, and were ashamed. Every move we take in the game of life affects not only ourselves, but the world and the people around us. Outside input in a decision can help us to see clearly though the light. They can help us choose the right choice not only for ourselves, but for everyone else the decision influences as well.
In conclusion, choices are important gifts for us to tackle with the input of others. Other people have often been through a similar scenario and have gained knowledge from past experiences to help guide us in the right direction. People tend to lean towards one choice for the wrong reasons, and people forget that their actions affect more people then just themselves. For all these reasons and more, we must seek multiple opinions to make a better choice.",,699,Seeking multiple opinions,Independent,"When people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person.

EECAB3812EEF,"Should teachers or students design summer projects? I would think the answer to this is quite obvious. Teachers should be the ones that design the summer projects. Students are not usually responsible enough to challenge themselves during the school year, much less summer vacation. I can understand wanting to give students a choice in what project they want to complete over the summer, but having them design the project is honestly not a good idea. It would be better if the teacher gave them options as to what project to do instead of having just one assignment for everyone. Students should not design their summer projects because they aren't mature enough yet and they would go easy on themselves.
These days teenagers aren't known for making the best decisions. They go with whatever is more fun for them at the time then what would be beneficial in the long run. For example the vaping epidemic. A large percentage of students have admitted to vaping on/off school grounds, even though they know it's detrimental to their health. It isn't because they don't value their lives or anything like that, but rather it's more fun to vape right now and just face the consequenses later in life. That behavior shows exactly the maturity level this generation is currently at. If you gave them free reign to design their own projects they would most definetely miss the point of why they have summer projects. They would make it really easy on themselves and not retain any of the knowledge that they had accumulated from the past year.
That leads me into my next point, which is that students aren't ready to challenge themselves yet. Very few students have the maturity level to understand the benefits of challenging yourself. They only see summer projects as the worst part of the summer. That's why if you let them design their own projects they would fail to create a good project. You may think that giving them the responsibility to design their own project would make them more mature, but in the end most teens just see it as free points for minimum effort. In college that would be a great plan for sure, but in high school and middle school I don't think so just yet.
In conclusion, students are not at the age to make their own projects because they haven't reached the mental maturity to challenge themselves. In college that would be a great plan to give students an interactive role in their learning, but for right now teachers should definetley take the reigns. They know exactly what we would benefit from learning over the summer, and they know exactly how to prepare us for the upcoming school year. In the future if the students that attend high school and middle school are more mature then by all means go ahead and let them design their own projects that might be a great idea, but until then I don't believe that is the greatest plan right now.

First,In ""The Challenge of Exploring Venus"" the author says ""Earth's ""Twin"", Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size"". Since it has a lot in common with Earth it is good to have a litle insight on this planet. In the article it says that"" The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features sich as valleys, moutains, and craters"" this shows how much Earth and venus have incommon. This also gives us an opertunity to take a planetary visit to Venus in the future. Despite the dangers it could cause on someone.
Next, in the reading it says that Venus has"" A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxid blankets"" This is one example of how dangerous Venus is. In the article is says"" Also notable, Venus has the hottest surface temperatue of any planet in our solar system, even though Mercury is closer to the Sun"" This is another example of how dangers Venus is. However going to Venus is not a bad idea beacuse life form could have been there in the past. People believe life forms could have existed beacuse of the examples like caters, moutains, and valleys.

F59E8A52AF52,"To whomever this may concern,
I am writing this letter to explain to you why students of our age should perform acts of community service. Well, for starters doing community service can mold you into a better person. Also, it helps form your discipline. Finally, the work that they do will help them value what they work for. I will explain these reasons in the paragraphs below.
To begin with, doing acts of community service helps people that do the work and the people who need the help. Community service can make any type of person change. From criminals to even students that behave badly and do not focus on their studies. Community service can make students into a better, friendlier, and well behaved.
The next topic on my agenda of community service is that the students form more discipline. Did you know that only 5% of students do community service hours? That means that basically the entire school is a ruckus! And do you know why? It is because their parents never taught them how to be friendly or how to have manners. If their own parents couldn't teach them then who will? If you allow mandatory community service in our school, I believe that you will be making the right decision.
Did you know that 95% of students do not even appreciate when someone does work for them? If we allow community service in our school, students in our school will appreciate the work that you and the staff of the school do. Students will transform the school from the ruins to being as cle",,263,Community service,Independent,"Some of your friends perform community service.

93125709E9C6,"Self-Driving Cars?
Are self-driving cars actually smarter than we think? Many car companies have started to invest their time and money into creating a car that is driverless 100% in the future. Driverless cars are not reliable because it takes a lot of money to make these driverless cars, safety is a big concern with these cars, and if the car can't drive on its own then the human must take over the wheel when there are complications.
Car companies such as Mercedes, Audi, Tesla and Nissan have all started to work on driverless cars. These cars are very expensive to make and test out. Sebastian Thrun, the founder of the Google Car project said "" Radar was a device on a hilltop that cost teo hundred million dollars. It wasn't something you could buy at Radio Shack."" Sensors are the main idea and concept of the driverless cars but they cost millions of dollars. What happens if the sensors are not reliable?
Safety is the number one priority of anyone that is in the car. The driving laws are very concerned with this and need gurantees on the driverless cars that are coming in the future. In paragraph 9 it says that "" Presently traffic laws are written with the assumption that the only safe car has a human driver in control at all time. Manufacturers believe that more states will follow as soon as the cars are proved more reliable. But the question we must ask is"" If the technology fails and someone is injured, then who will be at fault?"" It could go in many different ways and many conflicts can arise. There are postive aspects to driverless cars. One is that automakers are still trying to improve all the qualities on the cars. In paragraph 10 it says,"" Automakers are continuing their work on the assumption that the problems ahead will be solved. They are saying that they will not release the cars until they are reliable and ready to go. The cars are improving as the days pass by. More and more laws will changed due to these cars which will be for our safety.
The biggest concern is why can't we fully rely on these cars yet. They are not reliable right now is because when there are complication or certain situations that can occur on the road then the human must take over the driving until it is safe again. ""Google cars aren't truly driverless; they still alert the driver to take over when pulling in and out of driveways or dealing with complicated traffic issues, such as navigating through roadwork or accidents"". Google still has many issues with their driveless cars that must must improve and work on futher.
Now we know that these driverless cars are coming for sure. Many car companies are making the time and effort to make these cars successful. We know some of the problems they are facing. But we now know that they are not going to be releasing these cars now but in the future when they are ready to be safe, consistant, and reliable.

C80312F1821A,"To me, having an extracurricular activity is a very important thing that I do because I have something to look forward to after having a stressful day of school. Instead of going home and doing homework, I can socialize with my friends and stop worrying about other things going on. I think if everyone in the school got that opportunity, students would be more social and be able to make new friends.
Playing sports has always been a big thing in my family because sports will keep you active and out of the house and the last thing my parents want to see is us sitting on the couch doing nothing, but having an activity will keep you busy. As the years pass, more and more children are becoming overweight, and sports provide daily exercise to prevent childhood obesity and possibly encourage better eating habits. Most sports are one team working together to achieve a common goal. This can teach young athletes teamwork and social skills that they will carry with them for the rest of their lives.
When I am really stressed out about something, I will usually put my headphones on listen to some music or go outside and play basketball or lacrosse. Doing something you enjoy will usually calm you down and relieve stress. Afterschool activities can really help if you are usually stressed about something. If sports aren't your thing, there are plenty of other activities you can do like clubs and social groups. Joining a social group will help you make new friends and find people that relate to you. Bullying is a serious thing, and something that could reduce or prevent it is a social group. Having people interact with eachother will create bonds and reduce bullying.
So if all students had to participate in at least one extracurricular activity, I think it would benefit the school and the community.

I have had great new adventures in this program. I think people should join the Seagoing Cowboys because it helps out others (including animals), you get to go new places with new people, and because it is a great opportunity.
My first reason on why people should join the Seagoing Cowboys is because it can help out people in need.""UNRRA hired ""Seagoing Cowboys"" to take care of the horses, young cows, and mules that were shipped overseas."" That is one example that the program lets us help, not only just the people but also the animals too. I also found ""They got their seaman's papers and boarded the SS Charles W. Wooster, headed for Greece- with a cargo of 335 horses plus enough hay and oats to feed them."" That is one reason why people should join this program.
Another reason people should join this program is because you get to go new places in the world, for example I went to Greece! ""Besides helping people, I had the side benefit of seeing Europe and China."" Also another piece of evidence is ""So was taking a gondola ride in Venice, Italy; a city with streets of water."" This is another example of why new people should join the Seagoing Cowboys.
An example is because it is a great opportunity for people. You get to do so many new things with new people. "" But being a Seagoing Cowboy was much more than an adventure for Luke Bomberger."" Being a Seagoing Cowboy is an eye opening experience for me. I also found in the text is states
""It opened the world to him. ""I'm grateful for the opportunity,"" he says."" This program is a great experience and adventure. I know I couldn't pass down the opportunity once it was handed to me. The article says ""Luke couldn't say no. He knew it was an opportunity of a lifetime.""
These are just a couple reasons why I think people should join the Seagoing Cowboys. It can help others and animals.

The article also points out the issues with the driverless cars such as that in all states except four, it is illegal to test computer driven cars. The safety of the passenger could be at risk if there is ever a glitch in the system and the harmful effects to our environment.
Most states have made it illegal to test computer driven cars because of their traffic laws. ""Traffic laws are written with the assumption that the only safe care has a human driver in control at all times."" That is clealy stated in the article. The dangers behind driverless cars are way more important than their actually purpose. No where in the article do they address the causes to the environment that the driverless will make. Will they be electric or powered by gasoline. More research needs to be concluded before Google and other companies decide to open these to the public.
When a computer glitches the screen is frozen and there is no access to applications. What will happen when the computer operating a driverless car gives out. Brakes and everything could stop.

BF3CC3305C55,"My phone buzzed with his name appearing at the top. God, I don't wanna talk to you right now, take a hint man. My boyfriend and I had just had a huge fight and I'm texting my friend Generic_Name for advice. After explaining her opinion she says to listen to other peoples advice then decide what to do.
When faced with an issue normally our first reaction is to try to solve it on our own, although most of the time our head is way up in the clouds and we need another person to drag us back to the reality of the issue. Although most times, you need a few more than just that one person to help you make the correct choice. Therefore, seeking multiple opinions can help someone make a better choice.
All in all, getting advice could be a good thing, since many different people have all had vastly different experiences. At the Virginia school of Technology they completed a study on getting advice from just one person compared to reciving advice more more than one person. Both people were given the same issue but only one was able to receive more than one persons advice. One of the conductors of the experiment, Dr. Joy Engstrom, stated that, "" The person who received more than one piece of advice seems to have made the more logical choice than the person with only one piece of advice, fixing the situation faster and healthier."" Therefore, asking more than just one person for advice can help you pull out a stronger and better outcome of the situation. Plus, receiving more advice can also hep you make a more logical choice then acting on what just one other person thinks is best. The advice given also probably would apply to other situations as well, so you are learning and growing as a person.
All the same, receiving advice from more than one person can also help to build trust with the people you ask. A study done by Jake Miller at the Maryland University of Health shows that when someone comes to another person for advice their trust in them normally increases. Mr. Miller Claims that, "" You install a certain level of trust in someone when you ask them for advice, if it be something small or something huge. Asking for their opinion on a situation also boosts the overall relationship."" More over, their advice doesn't only just help the situation it helps strengthen your relationship with those people. Plus, most of the time people are more open to helping you when you have a sturdy relationship with them. Not only does asking for advice show that you trust the people your asking but it can even help strengthen a whole groups relation and trust.
Overall, different sets of advice can also bring you to the best possibly out come. Creating a more logical and better choice to make. At the University of Utah a survey went around asking students if they made better choice when they asked more people for advice or if they made a better choice when they asked one person for advice 70.2% said they made a better choice when asking more people compared to the 29.8% that claimed they made a better choice when asking one person. However, majority claimed the best outcome would be asking just more than one person, still a lot of students replied just one person. From past experiences asking one person can make you think that that option and only that option will be the best, when in reality its actually not. When asking for advice you need someone who gives their opinion on what hey would do, not try to snatch away your judgment and brainwash you to their opinion.
In the end, asking more people for their opinion can not only help you build trust with the people you ask, but help you learn more about them and their experiences and make the best choice. So in the future it is much recommended that you seek more than just one persons opinion on a situation your not so sure about.

37EA539179FC,"Several students in high school fall behind others because of fast-paced classes, unfamiliar environments, and general confusion from what the teacher is saying. This creates gaps in the student's learning, which can affect them greatly in the future. Recently, schools have been offering students the ability to learn from home. This newer way of teaching is beneficial for students, and their learning gaps. Students would benefit from being able to attend classes from home because you are in a familiar environment, you can go at your own pace, and take classes that might not be offered at your actual school.
A big issue in today's school system is the lack of familiarity. For me, going from a warm home to a rather cold, and loud school on a Monday morning isn't the best transition. This has definitely caused me stress in the past simply because the environment isn't the most welcoming and it's not my preference. With online school, you can bring the education to you. Doing the same work, but at your kitchen table seems more enjoyable than at a small desk with several other people struggling to understand the same content.
Have you ever felt behind or confused in the classroom? When learning from home, I'm able to go back, or replay the information that I might've missed in an actual class, where asking questions might cause anxiety or even stress. Even if you're more advanced, then you could speed up the videos or even test out(take an assessment to prove you understand the knowledge) of certain subjects that you might already know.
Not every school offers courses that people would like to take. There are a lot of students who are forced to take classes that aren't interesting. At my old school, I was learning Chinese. I realized that Chinese isn't offered here but is offered online. With online classes, I'm able to continue my foreign language education without much hassle. This is great for students who want to learn beyond what is available at school which can provide an edge to that student's learning.
Some might say that going to a physical school provides more structure because of the fixed schedules and set pace from teachers; however, giving students the opportunity to work at a more personalized pace can be significantly more beneficial than traditional school.

2C1337136521,"In our society, technology is advancing significantly by the day. What was once a letter that took 10-day trip overseas to its appropriate destination is now just a simple text message that reaches a person within seconds. The automobile is an innovation that has also advanced dramatically, enough to the point where almost every person who can afford to have one does because of its necessity when transportation becomes a factor. The idea of a car becoming ""driverless"" is simply another boost in the technology available to cars today, as discussed in ""Driverless Cars are Coming."" Due to its many benefits, driverless cars are a positive additon to our society.
Driverless cars offer a multitude of benefits for any passengers that might use them for transportation. For one, the necessity to have to buy or pay off a car would essentially cease to exist. If computer-operated vehicles were capable of driving in all areas, then what would the need for having your own car be? Even if the car wasn't ""fully automated"" and the driver would have to take over at some point, the less work you have to do, the more time you have to work on something else. The article addresses this topic ""Some manufacturers hope to do that by bringing in-car entertainment and information systems that use heads-up displays."" The biggest asset that the consumer gains from a driverless car is time, while still being transported in a safe and reliable vehicle. This reinforces the advantages available to consumers who use a driverless car.
Speaking of safety, there is not a vehicle more safe than one that is more or less ""automatic."" With autmoated cars, drivers will be able to transport themselves without having to add the extra element of driving into a day that might be stressful. However, not all cars are fully capable to driving themselves yet without driver assistance. The good news? This innovation still grants a tremendous amount of safety to the driver in charge. The features previously cited as being used as tiem fillers can also be quickly changed to inform the driver that they need to take over: ""Such displays can be turned off instantly when the driver needs to take over."" An advantage to this approach is that if all communication and distractions from within the car is shut down, then the driver has no choice but to focus on the road, another argument for the push of driverless cars.
The last topic at hand with these types of vehicles skims along the lines of controversial. Liability is a very integral part of the car industry, accidents will always be an issue, as cited by the article: ""If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault-the driver or the manufacturer?"" Would smarter cars help this problem? First off, it's important to acknowledge that accidents happen on the open road every day, with the primary cause being mistakes that drivers make. Therefore, manual vechicles are not necessairily dangerous, but are not as reliable as an automatic vehicle. Think about other practical additions that help consumers, such as a lifeguard on a beach. If they weren't there, would we be as safe? Probably not. Therefore, if the addition of driverless cars ensures that a safer option is available, then it only makes sense that the advantage should be taken.
In conclusion, driverless cars have brought about many new benefits in our society. From their ease of access to consumers to the top level of safety features that are sure to be made available in them, they will clearly become the top option of vehicle to use in our society once enough of them are made. This technological innovation is capable of doing many wonders in the automotive industry.",,625,Driverless cars,Text dependent,"In the article “Driverless Cars are Coming,” the author presents both positive and negative aspects of driverless cars.

E0FEF743B354,"Some schools assign projects to students for their summer so that they continue learning over break. These projects should be designed by the students because they would make it easier than their teacher would, they would make it more interesting for themselves, and they would be able to complete more projects faster.
The first reason students should design their summer projects is because they would make the project easier for themselves than their teacher would. Some may think that easier projects are bad but thats not the case, if the projects were easier for them then they would be more likely to complete it. The students wouldnt want to make a project thats hard for them to complete so they would make it easy while still making a good project. This is fair because they already have to do projects on there summer break so they might as well be easy.
The second reason students should design their own projects is because they would make the project more interesting for themselves if they were to design it. Students know what they are interested in; therefore, each project would be personalized. This is good because everyone's interests are different. If the students designed their projects with their own interests in mind they would also be more inclined to complete the project since it relates to them and its about what makes them happy.
The third and last reason that students should design their own summer projects is because if they did so, they would be able to complete more projects at a faster rate. If the student designed his or her own project, they would make it easier to complete for themselves and they would find it more interesting in turn being able to finish a project faster than if their teacher were to make it. If a student finished their projects faster than they could fit do more projects and learn more over summer; also, if they were to complete more projects over summer, they could do multiple different projects over multiple different topics therefore they would be able remembering more of what they learned the past year.
In conclusion, it would be better for students and their education if they were to design and create their own school summer projects. This would be better because the students would make them easier for themselves, they would make them more based off of their own interests, and they would be able to complete more projects over the span of their break.

3CAA762B49EA,"The breeze of the late summer air, it's fragrance of flowers and the occasional bakery wafting into our noses. The sounds of children safetly playing amongst themselves and soft chatters of people coinsided with the smell. It seemed like an utterly new universe where we tread, thanks to no more pollution and the ruckus of vehicles beeping and swerving every now and then, the atmosphere was delightful. The advantages of banning cars or at least reducing them is that the carbon dioxide levels will decrease and business will bloom.
To begin with, banning cars/reducing them will benefit our ecosystems and enviornments. Take Paris for example, they banned cars due to all of the smog and pollution it was emitting. Congestion, traffic, was down 60% after five days of intense smog; it was worst than one of the most populated cities in the world, Beijing (Source 2). That CO2 rises into the air, the atmopshere of Earth trapping all of that heat in, and it bounced back down at us. The climate would be more reasonable, there will be a less amount of traffic jams and people being late to work, and maybe some day, our Ozone Layer could replenish. Carlos Arturo Plaza from Source 3 stated, ""It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution."" We as a population don't have to completely outlaw driving but more acts of car-pooling and using public transportation will immensely reduce the CO2. We can all be able to give up something for the benefit of the common good, in Bogota, Columbia it has been three straight years that cars have been banned found in Source 3; and they have a population of a wopping seven million. Michael Sivak brings up a good point in Source 4 saying, ""What most intrigues me is that rates of car ownership per household and per person started to come down two to three years before the downturn."" Elisabeth Rosenthal states that, ""Mine (19 and 21) [speaking of her children] have not bothered to get a driver's license, even though they both live in places where one could some in handy. They are interested, but it's not a priority. They organize their summer jobs and social life around where they can walk or take public transportation or car-pool with friends.
Alongside with the bettering the enviornment, there is the sudden blooming of business and profit. With everyone on their feet and searching somewhere to hang , shop owners will be opening for business, and actually take part in the outside world. In Source 3, a valid point is relevant, ""Parks and sports centers also have bloomed throughtout the city; uneven, pitted sidewalks have been replaced by broad, smooth sidewalks; rush-hour restrictions have dramatically cut traffic; and new restauraunts and upscale shopping districts have cropped up."" There will be a fluctuation of revenue throughout all these newly built shops, stores, entertainment centers, and restauraunts. People will be more active with running, walking, and biking around the city/town. In Bogota, Columbia (according to Source 3) new paths have been opening up, ""It has seen the construction of 118 miles of bicycle paths, the most of any Latin American city,"" stated by Mockus the city mayor. An ordinary person, Heidrun Walter, positively commented on the ban of cars, ""When I had a car, I was always tense. I'm much happier this way."" Consider all the factors of health, one will be fully exercised on a daily basis, there will be little to no car accidents where people have died either in the vehicle or on the sidewalks; DUI, drinking and driving, will not be an pestering issue anymore.
In conclusion, the idea of banning cars is magnificant. There will be less pollution, less traffic jams, more businesses and shops and restauraunts opening to suit our needs, and just overall great for the enviornment. We can all join up together as a union to save our Earth, the Ozone Layer from allowing harmful objects from outer space into our atmosphere, and induce more activity amongst each other. We will all be happier and less irritated without the ruckus of cars and check-up like oil leaks, motor mishaps. Think of this new world, it could happen with one voice.

60B0AC857093,"With the rise of technology and accesability, students in schools are bound to wonder away from the current lession and tred towards their phones in the face of bordom or general stress. How can we fix this you may ask, with emotion detecting technology. This technology can help schools in that it focuses on specific muscle groups, can detect false emotions, and can help students get beck to the task at hand, school.
First off, how does this technology even recognise emotion? Emotions are always displayed by body poster, facail exspressions, and speech. This technology primarilly focuses on facil exspressions. By focusing on 44 major muscles and a 3D model created within the software through a camera, can effectively distinguish 6 basic emotions. These emotions are happiness, suprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness. ""The process begins when the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face; all 44 major muscles in the must move like human muscles....six basic human emotions-happiness, suprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness."" This technology works so well in fact that it was able to calculate the emotions on a painting. The one and only, Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci. In this instance of the painting, the software concluded that she is ""83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry."" This being said, you can see all of these features in the painting with her smile; however, her smile is also seems to be hiding other small emotions that can be portraied as insecure but wholesome. If this technology can effectivly 'see' the portrable emotions off a painting, then it can most definatly can be used within the school systems.
What about the common conseption that students go to school with a smile but arn't really happy? It can do this too. It comes to that facail movements can be seen as true or false by the muscles that are being used in that moment in time. Such as the muscle group, zygomatic major, used in a genuine smile; however, in a false smile you also use the risorius. ""But in false smiles...using the zygomatic major and a different muscle, the risorius."" The usefulness of this technology doesn't stop at just being able to identify false smiles but teachers can use this information to more effectively connect with the students. When a student is a distracted by stressers, they can't focus, and when they can't focus, it makes the teachers look like they arn't doing their jobs properly by the test score of the students because of it. This stratigy however, is nothing new. In the eyes of an exspert, facail exspression tell your true intentions. ""To an experts, faces don't lie; these muscle clues are sometimes used to spot when a 'smiling' politician or celbrity isn't being truthful."" Thus, this late technology doesn't seem to far fetched to use in our schools.
As I breafly mentioned in the last pharagragh, students need to be able to focus in order to be seccesesful in school. With modern stressers that teachers sometimes don't see as big deal, students on the other hand may lead to distraction. With these stressers far and wide, how do we identify them? By using the facail recognition software. Say for instance a student as his or her mind elsewhere besides the classroom and is missing out on a major transition lession that is the key to the next few lession. They won't get it and will further lead into new problems. But say that the software picks up on the student and detects that he or she is feeling angered, depressed, or just has a lack of intrest. This software can then send the data to the teachers computer thus letting them know that they may need a recap or support in general. Thus further action can be taked by the teacher to strengthen the bond of students and teachers. ""Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication. Another way that it can be used in the classroom as if the students is angered and frustration is building inside because their minds are in two places at once to only confuse them even more. The software can be designed to shut off the computer, alowing the student to take a breath and contemplate on what is wrong themselves before an intructer aid them in the personal mater before continueing on into the lesson as a whole. ""For example, your frontalis pars lateralis muscles (above yours eyes) raises your eyebrows when you're suprised; your orbicularis oris (around your mouth) tightens your lips to show anger."" In short, the possibilities are atronomical when thinking of incorperating them into a schools systems.
In short, the addition to facail recognitions systems into the schools is a great idea. Thus it can recogize emotions effectively, detect false emotions, and help students regain focus within the classrooms.

F6F766C1BDD2,"Do i believe use of technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is valuble?
no because a friend can tell when your sad,sometimes the computer can be wrong,and some people look like they are angry but are actually happy.
Technology is not valuabe for studnets expressions in classroms because a friend would know if you are down or happy or depressed the computer can't see tears on the inside they also don't know your life. An example is""a kid who is bi-polar they could be happy the one second,then boom anry the next second"". You mean to tell me a computer can't tell if your'e angry one second then happy another second? Another example could be sometimes you just don't know if that person is sad,happy,angry and sometimes the kid doesn't wangt to talk about his or her emotions"". i believe this can prove that the computer doesn't know if the kid is happy or sad,but the friend will!
The use of technology can't read the emotional expressions of a student in a classroom becaue the computer is not always correct about everything. An example is ""a game like NBA 2k18 they can scan your face,but it doesn't look just like you"". Another big example is ""the computer isn't always the right answer just like the internet the answer doesn't always come out right so the computer won't get your emotional feelings right.""
Another reason the use of technology to read the emotional expressions of the students in a classroom isn't valuable because a lid could look angry but is actually happy. an example is ""sometimes i look angry but tkats just my normal face,so the computer would say i'm angry when i'm really happy"". Another examle is ""a kid could have a dissorder on his or her expression so once again the internet is wrong"". this proves that the computer cannot read the emotional expressions of students in class.
As i stated in the text all those examples prove that my eviedence prves that using computers to express whether the use of technology reads the students emotional expressions. they can't because the computer doesn't know if the kid is happy or, mad, a friend can tell when they are mad,and sometimes the internet is wrong.",,375,Facial action coding system,Text dependent,"In the article ""Making Mona Lisa Smile,"" the author describes how a new technology called the Facial Action Coding System enables computers to identify human emotions.

72E8EFB1A713,"There are many things that could go wrong with the way we the United states are voting now which is why we should use election by popular vote. There are many reasons why we should switch to popular vote but there are three that are most important. The canidate wouldn't have to worry about losing even though he won the popular vote, it would be less likely to get a tie, and the canidate would have to campain in every state because there wouldn't be a winner-takes-all situation.
Most importantly the canidate wouldn't have to worry about losing even though they received the popular vote. The reprsentative electors have the final say in who is elected because they are the ones that put in the votes. An example of this is Al Gore back in 2000. According to some polls Al Gore lost the election thanks to the electoral college because he won the popular vote but still lost the election. Al Gore had recieved more individual votes than George W. Bush but still lost. Geoerge W. Bush had 271 electoral votes to Al Gore's 266. However, this is not the last time this will happen and voters can expect to see it happen again in the future were the popular vote winner loses the presidency.
Not only can they win the popular vote but still lose the presidency, they also risk the event of a tie were the vote would then go to the House of Representatives. In the event of a tie meaning that each canidate got an equal number of votes from the electors the House of Representatives would have the oppurtunity to vote for the president. This is not a fair system in any way because that would mean the representative for Wyoming who is only representing 500,000 thousand people would have as much say as a representative from California who is there representing 35 million voters! There has been many close incidents of a tie so it is possible for this to happen. In 1968 a shift of 41,971 votes would have put the election in a tie. In 1976, id 5,559 voters in Ohio and 3,687 in Hawaii would have voted the other way then the race for presidency would have gone into the hands of the House.
Furthermore the canidates would have to campaign in every state because there wouldn't be winner-takes-all which means the winner of the electoral votes gets all the votes within that state even if some of the residents did not vote for that party. The canidates would have to campaign in every state rather than just the ""swing"" states which are people that have not yet decided which way they wanted to vote. the cenidates dont campaign in a state if they know that they have no chance of winning the electoral votes in that state. During the 2000 election a remarkable seventeen states did not see the campaign one time nor did the people in the 25 largest media markets see a campaign ad whether it be on t. v., in the newspaper, or over the radio. If the president was elected by popular vote than every state would be considered a swing state.
In conclusion the President of the United States should be elected by popular vote because a canidate would not have to worry about winning the popular vote but losing the election, the possibility of a tie would decrease, and the canidate would havw to campaign in every state. These are just a few of the many reasons that we should switch over to a popular vote system, plus who wouldnt wan't to have a little more say in who runs our magnificent country.

F04B2EFE5187,"Summer assignments are a common way for schools to further student knowledge during the school break. Teachers usually compose a project using their perspective on what their students need. However, both generations are very different and students already have an idea of what approach would be best for them. Summer projects should be student-designed to allow customization specific to needs, include effective methods, and enhance the experience.
Every individual thinks and processes information differently and having a custom learning plan can be very useful. Having students design their summer project will allow them to focus on what only they need to learn more about. Teachers aren't the most adept to what students need help with and only the student knows what they need work on. For example, this summer I was told to complete a pre-calculus review packet solely focused on one topic. I finished it with ease and was not able to brush up on certain topics such as logarithms or exponential functions that I actually needed to review for the upcoming year. This lack of preparation can make learning new material difficult because of the lack of foundation.
This generation of students is very technology-driven and if students were to design their assignment using a technology-based method it would promote effectiveness and comfort. Teaching methods have evolved over time from chalkboards and writing on paper to smart boards and typing on laptops. Children, teenagers, and even young adults are accustomed to these advancements and find them to be more effective methods for learning. If teachers were to design the summer project, the odds of a technology-based assignment would be slim. This is because they prefer old-fashioned techniques, which aren't necessarily better for their students.
Doing schoolwork over the summer isn't ideal for most students and having students design what they work on will increase interest. Allowing this project to be enjoyable can lead to a faster completion and a more memorable educational experience. For example, teenagers who enjoy reading books only enjoy the ones they select themselves. Their school-assigned books put a damper on their experience and lessens their motivation to read it or even comprehend its meaning. The goal of summer projects is to motivate students to learn and sometimes that takes extra flair and effort but it is worth it.
Customization is key when assigning summer projects. This is why it is so important for students to be given the ability to design it themselves. Allowing students the freedom to design their summer project is beneficial for their experience. Through their designs these summer projects can lead to better engagement for other students. Additionally, this project is a perfect way to take advantage of summer break and make students learn the best way possible.",,453,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

41C6D3432C49,"Can you see the emotions in the Mona Lisa? A latest technology that can recognize emotions was the latest innovation from Prof. This technology claims it has the ability to read every emotion, even in pictures. Is this a reliable technology or is this something that isnt exact?
The recent technology on seeing emotions talks about how the Mona Lisa is 83 percent happy, 9 percent disguested, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry. How can we know if this is true because we were not there to tell what her emotions where. Yes you can see some emotion in her painting, because it states that Da Vinci studied the human anatomy so that it would help him with painting facial muslces precisely to show emotion.
This technology can be good for some purposes. Dr. Huang makes a statement saying, ""A classroom computer could tell when a student is becoming confused or bored, then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human structor."" This is a good factor, because this can help students with school so theyre not falling behind.

CAD24215C906,"""School activities can help a student grow, learn, and be taught more about adulthood."" said Generic_Name. My principal has made a policy where a student must take at least one extracurricular activity. The school gives lots of choices like sports, student council, and you can also work on the yearbook. You can find many more of the activities through your school website. I agree that all students should participate in an extracurricular class throughout the year.
These activities the school has for you to participate in could help make you friends. You could make friends by joining the soccer team and connecting with new people. Making friends could help stop bullying or lower the chance of it for you and your friends. Making friends could increase the grades of yours since you have a friend to help you when in need. Extracurricular classes could start some really great friendships during the school year.
One other important thing a school activity could help with is finding a job. Kids don't usually know what they wanna be when they enter high school or even college, so maybe these activities could help young kids get an idea of what they like to do. Helping kids find out what they like to do could really help the kid see what he or she would like to be in the future. This could also help kids get used to what they wanna do, and then when they enter college, they will already know what they want to try. Extracurricular classes or activities will increase the percent of how many kids know what they want to do when they grow up.
Extracurricular activities could help make school and life more fun. Fun is something a child or kid needs in their life, and elementary school through middle school should be fun times. These activities like sports and other things could really help you have fun in school or out of school. Playing a sport you love can help make friends and show you what your interests are, which makes life more fun. I have also had an experience of playing a sport for the school during my middle school days. It was very fun making relationships with others and I decided soccer was what I wanted to do in college.
My principal made a policy that says all students must take an extracurricular activity and I agree with this policy. Outside school activities or in school activities or anything like that could help in so many ways to a persons life. Helping find a job, having fun, and making friends could all help with the future and the present. These activities aren't just something to skip out on, they are something to try.

85B700BA5A7C,"Would you like it if your school principal would force you to do an extracurricular activity even though you dont want to. Im sure most students wouldnt mind staying after for an extracurricular activity, but for some students it could bother them, or could mess up how they are during classes because they haven't done their homeowrk because they weren't home to do it, or sometimes maybe at home because some students have to be home with their little siblings or helping their parrents at home ,and sometimes they can't becuase they are a school doing an activity.
Would you be upset if you have to stay for an extra activity? I certenly would be upset, and heres why. If my principal made me stay after school for an extra activity I would be upset beacuse I have to go home and take care of my little brother and little cousin. Also I have to help my mom around the house and if I stay after I can't help as much because i will be late and i will be at school do activitys at school, and im sure im not the only person that has to deal with that, and it can be very hard to work on both things at the same time.
If I were to stay afterschool to do activitys I feel like it would mess me up in some classes because i need to be doing homework or staying afterschool for a class, but if we don't have the extra activity I think we will be fine in our classes and our grades will be good.

Also some of the C average kids from the school will move to a new school, and i think the principal wont like that. So i would be mad if C average kids wouldn't be able to play any sports.
Also if i am on the basketball team and i wanted friend to join but he couldn't because of the school policy and that would make me and my friend sad. Also if i had a C average i would tell my mom to change me to a new school because that is not fair for others. Also if the principal did that he would be getting in a lot of arguments with parents and kids. So if i were principal i would not make this school policy because then it would make the kids sad.

2A2CDE97B76F,"""Particapating in an extracurricular activities is required in this school."" I disagree with the decison that every student must participate in one extracurricular activity. First of all, students may not have time to participate in extracurricular activities. Second, the student may not find an interest in any activities provided by the school. Lastly, some students may struggle with their grades. In conlcusion, students might not have the time, not have any interest in any activity, and having low grades are all reasons that extracurricular activities shouldn't be required.
First of all, students may not have time to participate in extracurricular activities. For example, a student may have to stay after school for extra help with assignments. Or, the student does alot participating with their religion. The student may find it hard to balance their activities through the day. All together, fitting all their day to day activities in one day could be hard for a student.
Second, the student may not find an interest in any activities provided by the school. Every student has different interest. One student may like sports, another music, or maybe even working on the yearbook. There could be students though that don't find interest in any of those activities. So, students shouldn't be forced to participate in any activilty they don't enjoy.
Lastly, some students may struggle with their grades. Some students may find it hard to keep their grade up. Alot of the time, the coach or teacher won't let students participate with low grades.

CDC9899690AE,"It is the beginning of the new school year, and your in class the principal makes an anccoument you have to join a extracurricular activity. I agree with what the principal says because. You can make new friends and bonds, explore something new, and have a happier life.
Make new friends everyone says it is easy. For me it is not to hard but for others it is a challenge. That is why doing an activity after school is really helpful for people to make friends. All the friends I have are from after school activities. For example I had a sleepover with kids on my lacrosse team a day ago. I would have never known them unless I tried something new after school. That is why you should find something that you enjoy because kids in there will share a common interest in that club. Then you can get to know each other and bond over that common interest. Like my lacrosse story I was more of a football guy until I was convinced to play. Now I have great friendships and great support, and I am enjoying every minute of it. If you think you can't make friends or it is to hard or you want to be alone. Just try a club, sport, and other great choices trust me it will work out. No one deserves to be alone now you go get yourself a friend and do a extracurricular activity.
Exploring new things now that is hard. Exploring new things can be nerve racking and make you anxious. Exploring something new is great and it will help you keep an open mind. Doing anything new is pretty bad at first you feel sick you just want to keep doing what your doing. You just want to stay in your comfort zone stick with what your doing, but sometimes you need to escape it and explore. Exploring new things is a little bit unsettling. Just like an extracurricular try something new and you might just become your favorite thing. Seeing and doing things that are new to you is amazing. It might spark interest, it can help you make friends, and teach you to try do more new things. If you try something new to you and you like it that activity or hobby can turn into a chain reaction. Of you trying things new and who wants to live a life of the same thing you can live a little find something new. Just go in headfirst what is life without a little risk without risk your life is the definition of boredom. If you ever think about doing something new or it sparks interest go for it.
A happy life lots of people have their own definition of a happy life. Well how does being with a group of people or a team that share something in common, and no one is left out sound. Extracurricular activity like a football team if you are on it the other players share a passion for the game. That is happiness like a second family that is my lacrosse team we have created that bond. You can to if you chose something new and your are passionate about it. You will find those people and being with those people pretty much everyday. Creating that special bond will make your life 10000 times better you will have that sense of belonging somewhere. Where you are comfortable around people and you can be yourself around that second family. You can take off that mask off ,and stop being someone you pretend to be and rip it off and be yourself. You join a group maybe the first won't work but I promise you will find that sense of belonging somewhere else besides home. You will have that sense of happiness true happiness once you reach that there is no anything much better that that I promise.
Just maybe you still don't like this idea of extracurricular activities and you just want to stay by yourself and fly under the radar. that is fine it is your choice but if you kept and open mind and tried it. You will make new friends and new bonds, explore and do something new, and live a true happy life. If you are going to high school or you are in high school and you do not do anything after school.

A9105216AAA3,"I believe that driverless cars should be developed because of the many positive capabilities of the cars, advanced technology that is currently available and constantly being improved, and the safety features added by the driverless car.
One major consideration for the development of the driverless car is the environmental benefits. The Google cofounder Sergey Brin says that the cars ""would use half the fuel of toay's taxis."" There is a large fear of increasing gas prices and lack of natural resources in the world today. The production of driverless cars would quell those fears as they are much more fuel efficient than the cars used today. Brin also states that the cars would ""offer far more flexibility than a bus."" This is crucial as the bus usually has a route that it must adhere to while the driverless car can go straight to the desired location. This aspect also positively impacts the environment. Similarly, the advanced technology that is already being created also helps with the development of the driverless car.
Beginning from the late 1950s, the concept of the driverless car was already thought of. Now, the concept is beginning to come to fruition due to the advanced technology created. The most important bit of technology on the driverless car is the spinning sensor on the roof, also known as the LIDAR. The LIDAR is able ""to form a constantly updating 3-D model of the car's surroundings."" Without the LIDAR, the accuracy of the driverless car would be greatly reduced as the car would have no sense of its surroundings. Another technology that was greatly enhanced is the antilock brakes. In the 1980s, the antilock brakes ""used speed sensors at the wheels"" to monitor when the car was becoming out of control. Back then, the antilock brakes only had a sensor to monitor the wheel's speed. Now, the antilock brakes have become more advanced to the point that they are able to ""detect and respond to the danger of out-of-control skids or rollovers."" The antilock brakes have evolved from only having a sensor that monitors speed to sensors that can detect many dangerous conditions. The advancement of car technology greatly affects how safe and successful a driverless car may be. A driverless car would most likely not be able to work in the 1980s with the speed sensor as the antilock brakes. Now, the driverless car would be able to work very effectively as it combines a plethora of sensors and cameras to ensure safety. Speaking of safety, the driverless cars all have a safety feature that guarantees almost the maximum safety potential.
The reliance of a driver within the driverless car finalizes the development of the driverless car. If the car encounters a foreign situation, the driver will just be notified and will take over from there. This concept of passing over the responsibility of driving makes the driverless car very safe. As long as there is an alert driver within the car, the car is almost certainly not going to make any accidents. Car developers designed the driverless car to ""steer, accelerate, and brake themselves, but all to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills."" Thus, the car will do most of the driving and when there is a difficult situation, the human driver will take over. This ensure the utmost safety of the driver and the passengers as there is an extremely low risk of an accident occuring. There are ""driver's seats that vibrate"" and the Google car even ""announces when the driver should be prepared to take over."" This increases the safety of the driverless car as the driver will be notified when to take over. Therefore, the driver will also know the situation and will be ready to handle any troubles the driverless car couldn't handle. The safety features positively affect the development of the driverless car.
All in all, the cutbacks on the usage of natural resources, the advanced technology used to increase the safety of the driver, and the many built in safety features advocate for the production of the driverless car.

FA6B3704C222,"Mars is a wonderful planet with many chacteristics. One of these characteristics is the ""Face on Mars"" which was discovered in 1976. Different people have different opinions on it. Some people think it was made by an ancient civilization on mars well others say it is a martian mesa. Which is exactly what it is but some conspiracy theorists like to disagree. Although there is plenty of information to prove them wrong.
First, the original picture was taken in 1976 with a not so sharp camera. Later though in 1998 a Mars Global Surveyor flew over and took a different picture and there was only a blur of a face with non-definant features. At that time people were anxious to see the picture and when they did they were disappointed. People started saying that it was winter and foggy so you couldn't see it. NASA disagreed but went along with what they said.
Next, three years later NASA went up yet again. It was a cloudless summer day in April. They were on the Mars Global Surveyor and captured the photo with the absoulute maximum resolution. With that time of camera you would be able to see a airplane on the ground or any type small shafts or Egyptian-style pyramids. That made most of the rumors end but there was still a few.
Finally there was a group of people who said NASA is hiding evidence from the community because they don't want us to know about it. That was a lie if NASA had found it they would want to tell the world. NASA space exploration fund would have gotten so much that they could study Mars for many more years to come. Some people at NASA were even hoping to find an ancient civilazation. In the end no one got what they wanted.
Therefore almost all the rumors were put to rest. Everyone now believed it was a mesa not a face. Although a face made by a far away ancient civilzation would have been cool to.

610C4705559E,"Summer is anticipated by eager students across the country from the moment the school year begins. Days spent stressing over homework, extracurricular activities, and grades are soon replaced by laughter and relaxation. Though students wish their short summer break could be free of worries, summer projects tend to bring their enjoyable vacation to a halt. Students begin racing to finish their excessive summer workload comprised of uninteresting busy work that seems to serve little purpose to the upcoming class curriculum. When the school year starts these summer projects are often graded and forgotten about, leaving students to wonder why they bothered to put in the effort. To combat this issue, summer projects should be student-designed to ensure that students are interested and invested in the work they are doing. Student-designed projects would also provide clarity in terms of rules and requirements and make sense in the time line that students are personally allotted.
One over-arching problem encountered by students completing summer projects is that the work is incredibly uninteresting and irrelevant. Most summer assignments require students to purchase and read multiple books or complete endless packets of review work. These assignments do not excite students to take learning into their own hands and often inspire a negative attitude towards individual work. If summer projects were student designed, they could be individually fitted to the interests of a student. By high school, many students are aware of their favorite subject and have started to consider their future career path. With this knowledge, students could design a project that helps them to excel in that subject or in that field. Students will be more likely to complete a project if it aligns with their goals and is beneficial to their mental development.
Another issue among summer assignments is their size. Teachers sometimes forget that summer is a busy time for students. Many students have to work full time jobs to help save money for the upcoming year. Others are devoting their time to internships, educational camps, or summer intensives to help themselves learn and grow in a specific area of interest. Along with this, students are on vacations, at summer camp, or simply relaxing with their family and friends. Students are aware of their personal busy summer schedules and should therefore be able to design a manageable assignment that accommodates to their life. Some students simply don't have the time to read multiple books or complete an online class for every core subject. Student-designed projects would allow for a reasonable workload that can be completed in a short time line.
Finally, students are not always aware of the expectations of their teachers and the requirements of the project. Going into a new school year, most students have not met their new teachers and are definitely not aware of their grading style and expectations. It comes as a shock to most students when they receive bad grades for assignments they put hours of their summer into. If projects were to become student-designed, they could work with a teacher to create their own rubric and guidelines. They could also meet with their new teachers to discuss their project so there is no confusion when it is graded at the beginning of the year. Rules and regulations designed by students are more likely to be understood and followed. Student-designed projects would be completed with more clarity and students would be fully aware of the expectations before heading into their break.
Summer is a great opportunity for students to learn, grow, and prepare for the upcoming school year. Though in the past summer projects have felt painful and unnecessary, they don't have to be. Projects created by students are far more likely to inspire a love of learning and will lead to greater success in school and in life. These projects still need to be approved and edited by teachers before their completion, but offering students the opportunity to take learning into their own hands is the future of education. If summer projects become student-designed, they are more likely to have a beneficial impact on students instead of a detrimental one.",,676,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

608B8AF21000,"Imagine this, your in school all day. Your tired and ready to go home, but then the principal say that you have to stay after school.
Everyone has to say after school .
Now knowing that your tired and ready to go home you do not think this is fair. I think students should not have to stay after school for extracurricular activities for, some students may have homework or chores to do at home, students will have less with their family, and over-working the students may cause them to start being troublesome at school.
The first reason why i think students should not have to stay after school is that students may have work to do at home. Many teachers give out homework for the students to work on, or they have chores that their parents have assigned them to do for that day. For example, a student has homework for three different classes. On top of that he or she needs to do dishes, walk the dog, and help cook. If he or she was told that they have to stay after school, he or she would not have enough time to do all for the work for that day.
The second reason why is that students will have less time to spend with their family. Students already spend many hours of the day at school. This already leaves them with only a couple hours to spend with their families.(Not including time spent on homework and chores.) Going off of the example i used in the last paragraph; this is another example using that student. This students average school day is about seven hours long. Now if we take about home long it takes to get ready and the bus ride home it is about nine hours. This students take about two hours to do homework and two hours to do chores. That about twelve hours spent, leaving the student only with two hours left to spend with their family. Adding extra school time would give the student less time to spend with their family.
The last reason I have is that over- working the students may cause them to become troublesome at school. What I mean by this is that some students might start falling alseep in class because of lack of sleep from over- working the previous day, Other might stop coming to school, or start to plain out disrespect teachers and school faculty. For example, a student might have been a straight a student always listening to the teacher, to his or her's work, and never fell behind on assignments, but they start falling asleep in class because of the over working the day before and stop listening to the teachers, and starts to fall behind on the school work that was assigned to them making them fail classes.
On the other hand making students stay after school might benefit them. Some teacher may think that some of their students need extra help. So staying after school may help these students, or some student are very athletic, so if they stay after school for a sport it would help them lose of the energy they have and calm them down. But i think not all of the students should have to stay after school because it just is not fair for all of the students to have to stay after school.
In conclusion I think that student should not have to stay after school for, Students will lose family time. Many student would have homework or chores to do at home and need the time to use at home.

Dear TEACHER_NAME;
I feel that you should require all students to do at least some community work. The community needs volunteers, and what better candidates than the able-bodied students right here in this school? I know a lot of kids don't want to ""waste their time"" with such trivial odd-jobs, but they really aren't trivial at all. They don't realize it, but they could be making a big difference in someone's life. I don't know how many times I've heard that we were put here to help others, and i know a lot of other kids have heard it, too. Well, this is our chance to help those others. This is our chance to brighten up somebody's day. This is our chance to make a difference.
Serving the community gives students a sense of accomplishment, and makes them feel like they really are contributing good things to the world. In other words, it makes the students feel good. It feels good to help people, and when you get to do it as a group, with your classmates, it makes it even better! No one really realizes how much help just a couple of kids can give until they actually try. I say we let them have the chance to find out. I think that everyone should get the chance to serve their community. I know everybody has the option, but this might be the first time they've ever seriously thought about giving it a try. I believe we should open up that opportunity to everyone.
In conclusion, yes. I do believe that students should be required to do some community service. It's really not a waste of time if you actually put your heart into it. All options should be open for everybody, and i think that this is a great chance to do some good. Some students might even base their careers off of what they learn while serving the community. You never know where it'll lead when you give someone a chance to try, but you can bet the outcome will be good.

DAFF03EE1185,"Being stuck in school wasting time is one of the biggest tortures a student faces. How can teachers teach when they're talking to faces looking down at florescent screens with Airpods in their ears? The best way to reach them is by using technology, which is more interactive and entertaining for the students; phones aren't the distraction, it's the lack of interest. In order to provide a better education, teachers should adapt to a new method of teaching: virtual classrooms. Students would benefit from being able to attend classes at home because distance learning provides more opportunities to those who are unable to get to school and in order to enhance learning environments, allowing personalized educations that provide better opportunities to all students.
Usually, snow days are a time for excitement and fun for students, but high-schoolers would probably spend too much time worrying about what they are missing in class. Ever since the introduction of Google Classroom, students have been able to keep better track of their assignments and not fall behind in their educations .
Last year, a huge snowstorm caused my school to be canceled for two weeks, but it wasn't as enjoyable as it sounds. Too much of my time was spent worrying about what assignments are due, what quizzes I have to prepare for, and how I would be able to finish all of my work in time. Luckily, I was able to use Google Classroom in order to see my late work and ask my teachers questions on what I was confused on. Emailing my teacher Generic_Name is very different than being able to have online classes with her, as it allows for more connection and a stronger understanding of the subject. When having a video conference, she can answer my questions in depth when I would otherwise be lost without answers. Not all of the class I take are available in my school, and virtual classrooms allow me to access more opportunities for education. Distance learning allows students to have access to an education if they are prevented from reaching it in physical schools.
Some people believe that a traditional learning environment is the best way to provide an education, because this style allows the best of the best to flourish. In the book
Outliers , one could argue that by having a specific place to learn, it would separate those who had the motivational drive to continue on and those that would settle for less. Those who went above and beyond would have access to more education in order to provide different levels of learning, allowing the smartest to receive the most education while not wasting 'unnecessary' supplies on people who wouldn't put their skills to use. The problem is that motivation is an external influence, and different levels of interest doesn't mean that those students would be less successful or deserve less help. With many new styles and methods of learning, along with more support systems in order to allow students to succeed in their classes, students are able to find a method of teaching that best suits them and allows them to become successful. A major reason that students are uninterested in learning is because of the pressure put on them and the lack of interesting topics to learn. By having virtual classrooms, students would be able to freely explore and develop their own education path that would have previously been inaccessible.
Not everyone has the same opportunities to learn, and distance learning is able to bridge those gaps and allow more people to have access to an education. In the book
Educated , none of the family had a formal education, as none of the children were able to attend a public school and the parents never finished high school. By having a digital classroom, they would have been able to pass the GED or SAT in order to move out of their parent's house and live their own life. The oldest brother had a learning disability, and wasn't able to find any work because of his lack of education. If he was to have an online tutor or teacher, he would have access to more suitable environment to continue to learning while getting the help he needs. Along with providing additional help in school, a virtual learning environment also introduces students to new cultures and people that they would otherwise not have been exposed to, thus enriching their lives. Attending online classes allows students to have access to a better education and introduce them to a world of possibilities.
Giving students the possibility to reach their full potential should be the goal of every teacher. By having students attend online classes, they are able to gain a stronger education that what they were able to previously access. Virtual educations are the path of the future, allowing easier accessibility, diverse learning opportunities, and additional help to all students.",,811,Distance learning,Independent,Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing.

270BC1D689DF,"In today's society, students often find themselves in an enormous level of stress. Whether it is from social anxiety or overbearing schoolwork, the stress is there, and some schools have offered a solution. Distance learning, or school classes at home, have a positive impact on students lives by protecting them from bullying, softening the workload, and creating an atmosphere where children can focus and learn at their own pace.
Bullying is a problem in schools all over America. Oprah Winfrey once stated, ""the best way to avoid bullying is to isolate the bully from its source."" By placing students that may not feel comfortable in large crowds or a student that gets bullied into programs such as these- you have separated the bullies from the bullied allowing the problem to diminish itself.
Oftentimes, students are faced with a workload that can affect their home life and other extracurricular activities and hobbies. A student enrolled in advanced placement classes often need more time for homework than a student in a standard class. This leads to even more stress because while one regularly placed student has finished their homework hours ago, the advanced student may be rushing to finish theirs, willing to turn in sub-potential work, just to go out with friends or family. If a student was allowed to take these classes at home, they would have higher quality work because the stress is eliminated due to the lack of a time-crunch.
A public school student has many distractions that can prevent them from doing work efficiently. Thomas Jefferson emphasized the importance of focus by saying, ""The only way to truly learn something is to focus on it entirely, and absorb the knowledge."" A student permitted to learn from home can lead to more success; this is due to the skills they will develop by learning on their own, not guided by anyone else. At home all of the distractions start to become more vague because peer pressure is eliminated. Schooling from home allows students to focus, and do their school work more efficiently.
Some may think online school will make students lazy, but they will learn responsibility as well as other life skills that public schooling does not teach. Online schooling is a great idea for any student because it creates a safe space, time for working, and a less distracting environment.

It's dangerous in someways because if you just let the robot do the drivng then it would propbably take you to another destination.

cleaning trash helps save the environment and keep the ecosystem healthy. If the environment becomes unhealthy plants and animals will die.

I believe if community service was mandatory it would be a big help although some people disagree.
Some students dislike doing community service, to try to persuade them to do it they should get something small in return such as a gift card to a bookstore or something similar. If students have the ability to earn something, most likely, they would like to participate.
There should also be a day to do community service. If students were able to go every day, then students would take advantage of this to get out of classes. The day to clean up local trash should rotate between a Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday. Every week , the school should rotate.
If the school could this at least once a week, even once a month, it would help the environment. Although students may dislike the idea they would still get something out of it.

F744ABAAC3FB,"Dear, Mr. Senator
The Electoral College is a process not a place. There's nothing wrong wit people voting for the president . Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Bob Dole, the U.S Chamber of Commerce, and the AFL-CIO, in their time , agreed on? Abolishing the electoral college. Under the electoral college system, voters vote not for the president, but for the slate of electors, who in turn elect the president.
Who picks the electors? It depends on the state. Sometimes state conventions, sometimes the state party's central comittee, sometimes the presidentail canidates themselves. Voters can't controls whom their electors vote for. Well not always .Voters sometimes get very confused about the votes in vote for the wrong canidate.
The best arguement against the electoral college is called Disater Factor. The Americans should consider themselves lucky that the 2000 fiasco was the biggest election in a century. Back in 1960, segregations in Louisiana legislature nearly succeeded in replacing the Democratics with new electors that would oppose John F. Kennedy.
The Electoral College is widely regarded as an anachronism, a non-democratic method of selecting a president that ought to be overruled by declaring the canidates who recieve the most votes. A dispute over the outcome of an Electoral College vote is possible, it happened in 2000, but it's less likely than a dispute over popular vote.
The Electoral College requires a presidential Canidate to have trans-regional appeal. No other region ( South, Northwest, etc.) has enough electoral votes to elect a president. The winner takes all method of awarding electoral votes. The electoral College avoids the problems of elections in which no canidate recieves a majority of the votes cast.

4920AFA7EF14,"Dear, senator
I belive the electoral college was a usefull tool in the past ,but is now an out date system that should be changed. If we continue to use this system we aren't really giving the people a fair chance to vote for who they want. For example in California a more democrtic state republicans may be lessen the incentive to vote knowing that there vote will not have an effect. This rasise another issue, which is not everybody is voting and it is not all a right but a prevlige among US citicens every where. The elctoral college was evective in the past because we did not have the technologe to count all the votes from each state, but now we do so we can only go by the popular vote.
The popular vote is more effective and I'm not the only one who thinks so over 60 percent of voters would prefer a direct election to the kind we have now. Al Gore thanks to the electoral college won the popular vot but lost the elctoral, how is it that some one could win more votes from most voters ,but still lose? The answer is the elctoral college, the reason is that you are not voting as a indiviual person but as a state. This brings me back to California and how republicans votes don't count because the state voted democrat.
Though the electors should do there job and vote with the state they could always defy the will of the people. In 1960 segregationist nearly succeded in replacing the Democratic electors with new electors who would op-pose John F. Kennedy. So please take into consideration that your vote may not have an effect on the election if we don't change the system.

B490EC2E88FA,"Dear Principal,
I don't think all students should be required to do community service. I think this because then they won't be doing it by choice and might find it annoying or not fun and be mean to people while doing it. I think this because if they don't want to do it in the first place then why would they want to do it because they have to? If they wanted to in the first place they would have chosen something to do, and would have done it. If they don't have enough free time or their parents wouldn't let them, then that would be a good idea, but not everybody will like the idea of having to perform community service. That is why I think community service should not be required, but have it as an after school activity instead. That way the students that want to do it but can't, can do it after school, and it will be a choice to continue or stop. That's better then having it required, isn't it?

I feel like all students should participate in community service. Community service is a way of giving back to your community. In today's world we sometimes take are community for granted and don't really see how important it should be for us. Community service also shows something you can be proud of. We can give back to our community just by doing small things we are making a big impact in our community. In a way community service is like saying thank you to our community, for allowing us to be part of it and having an education that nobody could take away from us. Community service is a learning experience that we should all experience for at least once. Just by letting us do community service you are opening the door to new things we can try. Maybe we can take community service to the next level and start doing things for this country. Community service is the first step to helping people around you. Community service may take sometime of what we want to do, but then you come to realize that it wasn't, probably not as important as helping your community. community service also helps you care for your environment and find the negatives and positives of it and try to change them for the best.

FAB88954B1AF,"When people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person. I agree with this statement because some people give great advice. When your sad and and want to talk to somebody about a certain situation just tell them what's going on. Their advice could be the greatest advice you ever heard but you might need a little push so you go to somebody else and see if they could give you a different opinion on it. people should take advice from others because you will have a better outcome, they would handle it more differently, their idea could be more diverse than yours.
One reason, people should take advice from others it because you will have a better outcome. On Valentines Day, I was planning to see my boyfriend but instead i had to tell him some very bad news. My ex boyfriend kissed me that day and i couldnt help but tell my boyfriend because it wouldnt feel right if iIdidn't. So I told him and he was very angry with me because of that situation, we ended up breaking up that day but i told my friend about it and she told me i shouldn't have told him and I felt as if I should. So I went to another friend of mine and she told me, I was right for telling him because if I didn't then I wouldn't be being honest with him or with myself. That day taught me that more then one view on a subject doesnt hurt.
Another reason, people should take advice from others is because they would handle it more differently. On day, I was sitting on my bed thinking about how I wanna fight this one girl, She messed with me everyday and I just wanted to show her who's boss. So the next day, I came to school all ready to beat her up. I wanted to get advice from one of my friends and she said before you go over there think about how much attention your attracting to yourself I said your right I will calmly go over there. I thought to myself it it really worth fighting this girl in my head my mind was saying yes do it but my heart was telling me no dont do it its not worth it. So 5 listened to my heart and I sat back down. That day I was thankful for my friends for having my back and not telling me to fight her.
Finally , people should take advice from others is because their idea could be more diverse than yours. I went to the park one day because i needed to left off some steam. So I facetimed my friend to tell her that I wanted to confront this girl about talking about people behind their back and she continued to tell me about how I should confront her about her shenanigans because it was getting out of hand at this point. I told somebody else about it and they told me to confront her but don't make a scene about it. So the next day I did that and surprisingly it went well, she did apologize to the people she bullied and now they are all friends. All of this tied up to say im so glad i have people who give great advice
In conclusion, people who take advuce from others are brave because sometime I dont even have the courage to talk to some people about what i'm going through, People should take advice from others beacuse you will have a better outcome, they will handle it differently, and their idea could be more diverse than yours ",,612,Seeking multiple opinions,Independent,"When people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person.

D4988103ADF1,"Being able to learn from home should be a choice given to all students nationwide. Online classes can allow students to stay up to date in their classes. In many cases, some students miss school due to a countless number of reasons that result in them staying home. Whether it is because that student becomes sick or because that student is dealing with a personal situation, missing school can cause students to become confused in class. It is also proven that students have their own unique preference of how to learn. It could be taking online classes or video chatting with their teachers. If given the opportunity from their school, students would greatly benefit from being able to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing, because it will keep students well rounded.
Others may disagree with the idea that students attending class from home is beneficial. Some may argue that a student is not getting all the information needed for their class since they are not actually in the classroom. At home, a student may be more distracted than he or she would be in a classroom. Due to the fact that there is more technology and freedom at home, a student can quickly get off task. Learning from home could also cause students to lose interaction with their classmates and teachers.
If a student misses school, he or she would be able to stay caught up in the curriculum because of attending class from home. In many instances, when a child is absent from class, that child falls way behind in the unit that is being taught. Confusion may arise while that child is in class the next day with no understanding about what is being taught. This can cause their grades to decrease because they are missing work and missing material. But if the student were to have a video conference with their teacher, there would be no risk of falling behind in class. Giving students a chance to learn from home would work in their favor.
By being home, away from all the noise a classroom often brings, students will be less distracted while learning. Most days in class, it is often too loud and rowdy for other students to learn. Surrounded by their peers, students can get easily distracted from what is being taught to them. Distance learning would allow students to focus in a peaceful environment while also getting the information needed without any setbacks. Students can focus solely on the teacher and the material being taught. Talking or getting in trouble would not be an option. Students will be able to learn at a place and time that is best for them.
Distance learning would allow flexibility within a students life and keep students up to date in their courses. It gives students the opportunity to learn in an environment that is comfortable for them. Without the distractions and without the possibility of falling behind, children will grow as better students. Due to these reasons,
I do believe that students would benefit from being able to attend classes from home.",,514,Distance learning,Independent,Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing.

BBE712F7271D,"Dear TEACHER_NAME,
I have been hearing from teachers and students that you are considering to make the new rule about cell phones at the school.
I'm writing this letter today to tell you that it would be the best rule to let students have cell phones out during lunch.
Many people are probably writing you a letter but if you are reading this you wont be disappointed.
First, cell phones can be used during classes and be helpful for the learning environment. A lot of students could use their cell phones for different things but students could use their cell phones as a calculator if they don't have their own. Also, students could use a cell phone to time something like in Science when you are doing a lab and need to time something.
And, if the teacher asked you what time it is in New York you could be the first to know because you would have your cell phone in use with times all over the world.
Second, many of people who don't have any thing to do after they finish their work could use their cell phone to keep them selves occupied and quite.
After a student is done with their work they could start to get loud and be annoying to the other class mates but if cell phones were allowed then the student could just play around on their cell phone quietly.
And, lots of students can concentrate better if they could listen to music while they work.
And, I my self think that it is a lot easier to think when I can hear music that I like.
Third, there is a few students that might say they would not want cell phones to be allowed in school because they can be very distracting in lots of ways. If cell phones were allowed at school they would not be ringing during class because students would turn their cell phones off or put them on silent or vibrate mode.
And if you would allow cell phones I as a student writing to you will promise that i would never take my cell phone out during class unless i had the permission to and maybe to see what time it is the faster way.
Many students and teachers have been talking about allowing cell phones to be taken out during lunch.
It was a great opportunity for me to write this letter to you explaining why I think it would be a great thing for cell phones to be allowed at school.
Thank you for taking time out of your schedule to read this letter that I wrote just for you.

937519C972A0,"Some schools throughout the world believe in learning year-round. They think that learning is vital, not only in the 9-10 months there is school, but in the summer as well. To overcome the blockade of learning that is the 2-3 months that students are not in school, schools require students to complete summer projects to insure that they continue their learning during their breaks. Although some people may argue that summer projects should be teacher-designed to ensure that students will be motivated to do their work, summer projects that would be completed over break should be student-designed because students would feel more motivated to accomplish them and their creativity would be increased with their unique ideas being expressed.
Students would be more motivated to accomplish something if they have created it and are interested in the subject. People in general are more inclined to doing an activity that is interesting to them than doing a boring task that they have no interest in whatsoever. For example, students who are very interested in music and participate in band at school would be more motivated to perform well in band than a gym class, where their interest does not lie. Many times, schools do not offer the opportunity for students to create something in class that genuinely interests them, so they are less inclined to do their best on the assignments they receive. If given the chance to do a project in a way that they are good at while researching something that is interesting to them, most, if not all, students would take that opportunity over an assignment they have to do a teacher's way. Also, it is not fair to students to assign large projects over the summer that will effect their grades. If schools want students to continue learning over their breaks, it is necessary that it is done in a way where students do not feel as if their time is being wasted or that they dread doing a teacher-designed assignment. This can be easily avoided by allowing students to design their own projects to motivate them.
Students learn better when they are stimulated mentally and actively engaged in the activity at hand because their creativity is flowing. Some schools may argue that if teachers are not designing their projects, students might create something inappropriate or too abstract, and outside of school's strict guidelines. In reality, if given proper guidelines from a teacher, students will follow these, but will be given the chance to create something unique to them. They will more likely be engaged in their work, which will accomplish a school's goal of students learning in the summer.
The counterargument to the idea that students should design their own projects is the notion that teachers should have the responsibility of designing summer break projects. Although some schools may want this because it ensures that all students are doing the same topic and main idea under a teachers' control, it is more beneficial to have students come up with their own ideas. An example of when student-designed projects are more beneficial to students and peers is in a science fair. In a science fair, each student receives the same general guidelines while designing their projects, but their ideas are creative and unique. Students are able to create and execute their own interesting ideas, but they are still in the boundaries of what a teacher wants them to be learning from the experience.
Although many people do not think about summer projects often, they are a topic that should be carefully discussed in schools. To accomplish their goals of having students be engaged academically throughout the year, it is beneficial for schools to have students create their own projects. This would allow students to express more creativity, be proud of what they have created, and not dread doing their summer assignments. Through designing their own summer assignments and projects, students will be learning and stimulating their minds in ways that would not be possible if forced to complete projects designed by their teachers.

9F940B25741C,"Dear Principal,
I believe that policy 1 is better because You should allow students to bring cell phone, and allow them to use it during our free times and during lunch. We can have them off during our class time, so it wouldn't be a distraction. We would use our time wisely for class and when we are done with our free time and/or lunch we would turn them off, and head straight to class. Another reason why students well say to allow cell phones so if something is wrong they can right away text there parents or if there is something wrong and the parents contact them, on our free time we can check our phone and respond to our parents.
If you allow students to have there phones out during free time that well probably stop us from having them out during class. Because when we already did what we wanted on our phone than students wouldn't want to use it again. Our phones would be useful for things like our phone can go on the internet and with our work in class we need research so we can do researching on our phone.

1F03BB3AD697,"My personal opinion is to keep the Electoral College. So far, this process has worked out for us and I don't think we should change it.
One reason I think we should keep the Electoral College is the ""certainty of outcome"". Most of the states award electoral votes on a winner-take-all basis. Sometimes, even a very slight plurality in a state creates a landslide electoral-vote victory in that state. It is hightly unlikely to have a tie with this system also, because the total number of votes-538- is an even number.
Another reason I am in favor of the Electoral College is that no region can get enough electoral votes to elect a president. A candidate has no reason to campaign in only his or her region alone; they can spend more time in other places instead of relying only on electoral votes.
I also believe that we should avoid the problem of elections in which no candidate recieves a majority of the votes cast. There is pressure for run-off elections when no candidate wins the majority vote. The electoral vote declares the winner in that case.
Some people seem to agree that we would be better off without the Electoral College. They argure that it is ""unfair, outdated, and irrational"".
All in all, I believe that we should keep the Electoral College for the United States.

BDD5D74671DD,"Many people seek advice from more than one person. It is something that we can do to ensure our information is correct, we are making the right decision, and we are respecting other ideas. But there can be positives and negatives, some of which may stop us from seeking advice at all. Asking for advice from multiple people can expose other perspectives about the idea that could have been forgotten about or unseen or one person could catch a mistake that another person or you didn't. By seeking multiple opinions, people clarify their thoughts, ideas, and decisions and it can help to catch flaws and errors.
Asking for advice can make someone change their idea. By asking for advice, we are showing that we are unsure and need clarity. So, by asking multiple people, it can help us to understand other opinions, ideas, and points of view that were never really thought about. These opinions can revise decisions and ideas and can stop us from doing something irrational. Advice has a positive affect and even if one person doesn't give the best advice, by asking multiple people you will fix the bad advice with someone else's advice. Asking multiple people is like going down and assembly line of revisions it may take time and understand but the end product will be perfect.
Not having clarification could cause us to us to change our idea on our own and we may not see the mistakes hiding inside. Say you are writing a paper for school, only others can really see your mistakes, not because you are bad at revising but because if you read over it, you would see what you want to see. But when a fresh set of eyes looks over it, they don't know what the paper should be like and it will be easier for them to identify mistakes. This is another reason that advice is beneficial and will lead to a better end product. Having other opinions can expose mistakes and help us fix them.
Asking for advice can also lead to stress from incidents such as getting multiple opinions that clash ,or doing one thing that one person would like but another person wouldn't. When asking for help, you will need to understand that you may agree with it or not but you can always try out different ideas and they could work for you. I once heard a quote, ""Life begins at the end of your comfort zone."" This shows to push your boundaries and to try out advice that may clash with someone else's ideas or you are not really comfortable with. Advice can be very helpful and it can be used to your advantage and will be beneficial to life because without it some a lot people would be in a harder place than the little added stress of multiple opinions.
By seeking multiple opinions, people clarify their thoughts, ideas, and decisions and it can help to catch flaws and errors. Advice is important for decision making and by asking multiple people, you will see what different kinds of people think of your ideas.
Although asking for advice from many people can cause stress and more decision making, it can help us to see other sides of the story and could help us in the long run. Sometimes self clarity is key, but it wont hurt to get a little advice from a couple of other perspectives.

If people are checking up on this everday and keeping watch you would be able to see these ""aliens"". So when you think of it getting made by aliens its probaly not the best choice if you have no proof.
If it was made up by aliens then why is it not looking like a face more and more when we look more in to it.

B651AEF954C3,"Every human being has been in the situation of needing or receiving help from someone.
Whether it's asking advice from your grandpa, mom or brother, as a human, none of us are perfect and we need to receive advice from someone.
Seeking advice from one person is great, but have you ever thought about why people ask more than one person for advice?
Asking for more than one persons advice is not only helpful, but it will give you a more depth and clear mindset.
People's advice matters and I can say it makes an impact on my personal life, everyone is different and it can help you form an opinion.
Asking for multiple inputs for the topic of advice, hits very close to home for me.
After I moved from the United Kingdom to United States of America.
I was sad and had the feeling of anxiety of talking to and meeting new people as I had made so many friends in the UK and no one in America wanted to talk to be or be my friend.
I felt like I wasn't meant to be in this world, but then my dad took me into our formal dining room and sat me down.
I talked to him about the whole situation and told him about my worries and asked him for advice.
He gave me advice on how to cope and to deal with situation.
I had suddenly felt a lot better.
I then started to be more open about my feelings and talked to multiple people like my school consular, mom, brother and even a classmate.
Now I have a lot of friends that I can rely and depend on because of the advice I took from multiple people.
Therefore, asking for advice from more than one person can change or have a huge impact on someones life.
Getting advice from multiple people is helpful in the decision making process for a better decision.
The more people that give advice, the better your decision will be.
When asking multiple people for advice or anything, the person is forming a better decision or result whereas asking advice from one person, the person is only listening to one opinion and it is not as good or reliable.
Listening to more than one person for advice will help the person form a plan that they could use for not only for one specific situation but multiple events.
If multiple inputs are given to you on a specific topic, you can use the skills and tactics that the person learned from the people who gave them advice to apply while making a decision of when and how to satisfy the problem.
Multiple people giving advice can help the person form an opinion on a topic.
For example, if the person is asking for advice on politics from an elder or several other people, by listening to them, the person can form a valid or personal opinion that he or she likes.
Therefore, getting advice from multiple people can help you make a decision a proper and valid decision.
Everyone is different and different advice can help you become a better human being.
When asking multiple people for advice, you have to keep in mind everyone is different.
For example, when asking your mom, dad, brother or grandpa for their advice on politics, they are all going to have different opinions and answers, and it's the job of the person to make and pick a decision that they personally agree with.
Multiple peoples opinion on something will help the person form a different perspective of a topic.
For example, several people giving the person advice on a topic of something like depression will help them find a different perspective of the topic like the bright side of it or that some people aren't as fortunate.
Everyone is different and people have multiple opinions on a topic or situation which can help them find more than one solution in the decision making process when asking for advice.
For example, if a person has an opinion on a topic, asking multiple people for advice can help them form new and different ideas that they can use to help formulate multiple opinions to help them use in finding a solution for a problem.
Therefore, everyone is different, and when asking for advice, multiple or different views will strengthen your thought and help you think diversely.
In conclusion, when facing a problem that you want to solve and get rid of, ask more than one person for advice on how to get rid of it.
It is important to ask for multiple peoples advice because everyone is different, it can help you form a final decision or opinion and I can relate and confirm through a personal experience on why asking for multiple peoples advice is important.
Advice is something we all need, whether we are down or happy, it helps us relate and find a solution for everything.
Therefore, multiple peoples opinions will help us make a better choice. ",,823,Seeking multiple opinions,Independent,"When people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person.

73656858947C,"Over the summer, very few students have the desire to do any homework, especially not a project. In the scenario where a school mandates a summer project, the summer project should be student-designed. Having student-designed projects would make the assignment easier for students to complete and it would also ensure that the students are gaining knowledge from completing the assignment. Assigning a project that isn't grueling and time consuming, as teacher-designed projects tend to be, would result in more students completing the assignment and learning.
Many students never complete projects during the regular school year, and assigning a summer project would seem like an impossible task. However, if the project appealed to students it would be more likely that they would complete it and this could spark a butterfly effect that leads into the next year for those students. It would cause students who don't complete projects or assignments, to turn into consistent, non-procrastinating students. Learning is often made into a very monotonous and dreadful thing but if schools designed learning for students, intelligence would be more spread out across the school. There wouldn't be the groups of ""smart kids"", the groups of ""dumb kids"", or the groups of ""average kids"" and the school, as a whole, would be more successful.
A very typical and repetitive summer project is ""summer reading"". Many schools don't assign this as a mandatory project that is expected to be completed by every student, but is often assigned as a prerequisite to enter high level English classes or to join certain clubs. When the school year begins, a lot of very educated and worthy students are denied the ability to attend that high level class because they haven't completed the summer reading project. Now the logic behind this is, ""If a student can't read one book over the summer, how can they be expected to read multiple books throughout the entire English course ?"". What many people don't take into account, is the fact that regardless of a teenager's intelligence, they will usually neglect all school work until the last minute and end up forgetting. They will either end up not being able to fully put their knowledge to use, or lying about reading in order to enter a class, neither of these outcomes benefit the student.
An argument against these claims would be, ""If teacher-designed projects are assigned, it will be easier for teachers to grade the assignment and this could benefit the student even more by giving them a better grade and better feedback."". Teacher-designed projects are capable of this, and students would be able to receive more well-rounded, and understood grades if the assignment was being graded based off of a rubric. With a teacher-assigned project, teachers can compare each student's work to past projects that have been completed by other students and accurately determine how good the project is. These types of projects ensure that all students will learn the same amount by eliminating the option for students to do projects about something they are already very educated about in their personal life.
Student-designed projects are more reliable and consistent than teacher-designed projects. They allow students to fully display their intelligence and academic potential. They also allow students to educate themselves about a topic. This leads to better learning habits in the future; and overall, it can turn a good student into an even better student.

And my explanation for that is because if they want to have a more clearer picture then they should take another one up there. And again they might even get an even bettere and bigger because of the technology we have today. It might be even in high definition so that they can see if thats actually a face or if its just a mountain with craters. But they might get me wrong and thats ok but as long as they have a better camera to explain how or what i'm right about. Like in the beginning of this article it said that they had take pictures in 1976, 1998, and in 2001 but all of those pictures are on cameras that make pictures blury and in order to see if the picture was actually a face they had to do something to make that picure clearer than it shows. They might argue that im wrong because they might say that why will they need the technology and they might say like well we already have a picture and its a face.

I also could be wrong becuase they do have a Mars rover up there so my theory can be wrong and it is a face all along. If I was the a scientist at NASA talking to someone about why the face on mars wasent created by aliens i would tell them that extra terrestrial life couldn't of done that because we dont have enough evidence to prove that they exist. But for now we don't know 100% that aliens did it or if metors hit it and it looked like a face or if aliens did it. And if aliens really did it then we need to get nother camera up there and see if there is any other life out there.

3C536EA2E590,"Summer projects are a painful, but necessary experience that many students have to face as they continue their academic careers in middle and high school. Teachers understand that without these projects, students could lose much of their academic progress that they have made throughout the year, and so these projects become necessary evils that make Summer slightly less enjoyable. However, while these projects are often necessary, there is some debate as to how they should be executed. Some argue for a student-based project experience, while others say that teachers should be the ones in charge of these assignments. However, the latter option would be easier for everyone and more effective, providing an organized project environment that would hold students accountable for their work.
With teacher-based Summer projects, both students and teachers would suffer less stress and be able to more easily complete their tasks. For students, having specific instructions on what to do for a project removes one of the hardest obstacles that student-based projects would make them face: actually designing a project from start to finish. When students have instructions, they already know what to do, and they avoid the stress of having to figure it out on their own. Summer projects should be as stress free as possible for students, and to achieve this goal, the teacher-based project is preferable. In addition, the teacher-based project would put less stress on the teacher. With a student-based project, the teacher would have a difficult experience while trying to grade each of the projects, because the parameters and expectations of the project would be less specific. Thus, the teacher would not be able to objectively assess the quality of the work that the students are actually doing, and they would have to take an individual approach to each project. With a teacher-based project, the teacher gives the students specific instructions, making grades easier to give because the teacher can assess each project with the same expectations and objectively give each student the grade they deserve. Teacher-based projects make the lives of both students and teachers easier, and they should be utilized in order to make Summer and the start of the school year less stressful.
In addition, the teacher-based approach makes the start of the school year organized, with all students having learned or reviewed the same topics over their summer. For example, when a teacher wants students to review mathematics over the summer, they should provide a worksheet of review questions for students to complete. With this type of project, students all review the same exact questions, putting themselves all in similar places academically when the school year starts. If that same teacher tells their students to simply complete some mathematics questions over the summer, without giving them specific questions, students will all review different topics; some will review the more advanced topics, and some will review less advanced ones. When the school year rolls around, the students will all be in different places. This would make things harder for both the teacher and student. The teacher would have to review all of the topics in detail because otherwise, they would be leaving some students behind. With a teacher-based project, the teacher has the ability to make sure that all students are on the same level at the start of the school year. This makes the start of the year much more organized and puts students in a strong position to continue learning without being hindered by the different levels of review done by their peers.
However, some may say that the student-based project is beneficial because it gives students the opportunity to learn about topics that actually interest them. While this is one of the biggest arguments for the student-based project, it is based on faulty logic. If a student is genuinely interested in a topic, then they will learn about it without being prompted. Student-based projects ask students to come up with a topic that they are interested in, but they limit that topic to a certain subject barrier, such as English, Mathematics, Science, or History. Many students are not interested by anything that is limited to these subjects. Thus, this idea that student-based projects inspire a greater creativity and trigger a passion for learning is flawed. Some students may end up finding something that they are truly interested in, but many others are left struggling to come up with a topic and doing the bare minimum to complete a project based on that topic.
Furthermore, students are more easily held accountable for their work with teacher-based projects. If every student has to complete the same steps, then they will have a greater tendency to actually do the work. There are no loopholes, and all students will have to do the same amount of work. This lessens the workload for those who naturally overachieve, and holds the rest of students accountable for their work. Overall, it makes things equal for students, setting a good precedent for all students to work hard and achieve what they need to be successful.
The teacher-based project is beneficial for both students and teachers in many ways, and it is vastly superior to the student-based project. It leaves all students with an equal review of their subjects, and makes teachers able to start the school year without having to worry about differences in the academic knowledge of their students. This type of summer project should be the most implimented in order to give students and teachers a good environment for success at the start of the school year.

00E9AC98B45E,"The invention of the automobile was one of the most important inventions of all time. Everyone uses cars! They're everywhere! But what are the effects of car emissions? Are they even worth using if they cause negative effects on people and our environment? Many people are trying to cut back on driving, or even live without cars. Why are they doing this? Well, let me inform you about some of the advanrtages of limited car usage throughout the world.
In Vauban, Germany, there is a suburb where people have decided to ban cars all together. The neighborhood roads are completely car-free and even having a garage is usually not allowed. About 5500 people live in this suburb and 70% of these people do not own cars. For the other 30%, there is a parking garage that is located on the edge of the community that requires a $40,000 payment to use. This trend is growing immensely in Europe and there could quite possibly be several communites that would mirror Vauban and what it is all about. This effort to ban cars is based on the idea of reducing pollution as well as reducing stress, and many members of the community insist they live happier and less stressful lives since moving into Vauban.
Bogota, Columbia is the home to nearly 7 million people, and in Bogota there is an annual car-free day, with hopes to reduce smog and promote alternative transportation. There is also hope that this idea will spread to other cities and to other countries around the world. For the people who decide not to participate in the annual car-free day, a fine of $25 would be handed out. This ""holiday"" if you will, could be revolutionary potentially and if implemented year round, could really put a dent in the ammount of pollution throughout the city. Even the mayor of Asuncion, Paraguay revered the program, saying it is ""generating a revolutionary change"".
Officials in Paris, France put a partial driving ban on the city in an effort to reduce smog in the city. The ban worked like this, on Monday, drivers with even-numbered license plates would not be allowed on the road. The next day, it would be the drivers eith odd-numbered license plates that would have to leave their cars at home. Nearly 4000 people were fined due to the enforcement of this ban, for somewhere around $120,000 total. The strictness of the ban was due to the seriousness of the smog and the fact that it was intensifying. The dissapearance of the smog resulted in loosening of the ban and less negative feedback from drivers.
As you can see, these places have been limiting car usage and found at least some sort of benefit from doing so. Maybe if these restrictions or all together bans were implemented in more places, pollution in the world would be hindered.

Established in 2006, it prohibits street parking, driveways, and home garages, allowing car ownership but limiting parking to large garages on the development's edge, costing $40,000 per space. This innovative concept has led 70% of Vauban’s families to live without cars, with 57% selling their cars to move there. Emphasizing “smart planning,” Vauban is a model in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, a critical factor in combating global warming. The district, home to 5,500 residents, showcases how suburban areas can be more compact, accessible to public transportation, and less car-dependent. This approach aligns with efforts in the U.S. and Europe to develop suburbs that favor public transport and walking, with amenities within walking distance. However, despite these efforts, challenges remain in changing car-centric attitudes and adapting urban planning regulations to support such sustainable living models.",https://huggingface.co/datasets/nlpatunt/dataset_rubrics/raw/main/Persuade/score_prompt_template.html
1706A44CC656,"Seeking advice from multiple people can help someone take an important decision and make the right choice. Asking other people for advice about a decision they make is very helpful. My sister got multiple opinions for whether she should get a tattoo or not. I am very happy that I got more than one person's opinions to pick my dress.
When I need other people's input about a problem or when I need advice, I ask my older sister, my mom and my dad. The reason I ask my sister first is because we are just a few years apart and she knows way more about fashion or trends than I do.
She also has more experience being a teenager in America than my parents. The next person I go to is my mom. Since she is older than me and my sister, she can give examples of when something like the conflict I have happened in her life and she can help me solve my problem. The next person I go to is my dad. I go to my dad last because I can tell him what my sister and mom said and he will tell me his point. Then he sits down with me and helps me understand the conflict and tells me what my options are.
When my sister turned eighteen years old, she really wanted to get a tattoo. She really wanted this tattoo because she felt like the word ""Parivaar"" meaning family in Hindi, was very important to her. My sister did not know if it was the right choice to get a tattoo on her wrist so she asked me. At first, I said it would be very cool and I was excited for her. After thinking about it for a few days, I went back on my decision and told her that it probably was not a good idea. Then she asked my mom and she told my sister the same thing I did. Then she went and asked both my parents to sit in the living room because she wanted to discuss how important it was to her. My mom and dad finally agreed and she persuaded me until I said it was fine. Right before my sister was going to get the tattoo, she asked some of her friends. Without hesitating, all of her friends said that it was a good idea and they all encouraged her. Finally she got the tattoo on her wrist. This story shows that getting different opinions helped my sister make a very important decision. Now she feels like she made the right choice by asking multiple people and really thinking about it.
One day, my mom and I went shopping to get me a dress for an event I needed to go to. I searched and searched until I found a dress that was bright blue. I tried it on and the lady who works at the shop said, "" Oh my goodness! You look so pretty! Let me go and find you more dresses!"".
After she left the dressing room, my mom and I turned to each other and we both said that we did not like this dress at all. So, I took it off and I tried another purple dress, which looked decently good. After I tried another ten dresses, I took a picture of the bright blue dress and the purple dress and sent them to my sister and one of my closest friend telling them that these were the only dresses that fit me. About twenty minutes later, I got a text both from my sister and my friend saying that the purple dress looked better than the blue dress. I am very happy that I took the advice of my mom, sister and friend, instead of only the employee because I bought the dress that looked good on me instead of one person lying to me and telling me I looked pretty in a dress that I really did not look good in.
Getting advice from others' for making decisions is very helpful. Asking people that you trust to help make a decision for something important will make it easier to decide. My sister took time to really think about her chioce and ask people that she trusts to help her decide on what she wanted to do. Going shopping with my mom and asking other people of what they think of the dress was very helpful and they guided me to make the right choice.

Today in the 21st century , phones have evolved to more of a necessity than that of a want. Almost everyone has phone these days and use it very frequently. Cell phones can be very distracting in every day activities like school , work , and worst of all , driving . The United States 1 out of 4 car accidents is due to driving while using a phone . That's 1.6 million crashes per year ! The use of phones while driving has escalated over the years and it is getting more prevalent and actions must be taken to not have drivers to be able to use cell phones in any capacity while operating a vehicle .
One reason as to why people should not be able to use their phone while driving is because the risk of death is so high . The use of cell phones while driving now has taken place as the leading cause of death in the United States . The leading cause before that was drinking while driving . Statistically ,1 in 4 car crashes in the United States are caused by the use of cell phones while driving . 391,000 people were injured due to that in 2017 which doesn't even compare itself to the low number of 39,773 gun deaths in 2017 . Both of these are horrible situations to ever be in but a lot of people are ignorant to the toll driving while using your cell phone is . Though the numbers are generally associated with teenagers , these statistics could be any ones' life . Life is precious and the fact that it can be lost for some careless act is not ideal and should be stopped .
Not could self phone use while driving be the cause of your own death , it can also be the cause of death of those around you as well . Some people view it was selfish that one person would risk sending a text knowing that it has the potential to kill an innocent person or peoples . A text can always wait when others' lives are on the line . Its an over-estimation of one's personal confidence when driving . Noone that texts and drives really thinks and analyzes the hard that they are doing or can do to all the people in the cars around them . In the cars are innocent mothers , fathers, children , veterans , teachers ect . It goes without saying that they don't deserve to die due to someone thinking that because they've texted and driven before , noone will die .
The actions that can be taken now to prevent so much fatalities currently is to lead by example . Even if at a red light , don't be a selfish person and respond to a text . If the temptation is too high , turn your phone off or put it away somewhere in your car . Make sure to be alert of your surroundings and stay focused while driving . And if one day it so happens that the person who is driving you happens to be texting and driving , speak out . If you would want to help the cause you can always speak out and promote safety in you community .
Too many people have lost their lives due to either their own decision to text and drive , or someone else's selfish decision . Many companies and state governments are currently trying to fix these horrible statistics and put and end to texting and driving . States have already passed laws to make is illegal to be using the phone while driving . Our current culture has become too dependent on technology and we must learn to resist the temptation and impulse . We must realize that life is too precious and too valuable to let it be taken away due to a text message .

Some schools require students to complete projects over the summer. People debate on whether the project should be teacher-designed or student-designed. Summer projects should be student-designed because it would allow the student to be more creative, do a project they would enjoy, and gives students more independence.
If students were to be required to make a summer project and it was student-designed, it would let students be more creative. Most teachers and parents want their student/child to think outside the box. A student led project would make students use their brain more, during their 2 month long break of not doing anything. The project would allow students to develop an independent mind. They would give a nudge for students to get out of their comfort zone. The project would make students think more independently at a younger age. As they get older, they will be more inclined to do things out of their comfort zone. Supporting a student to lead his summer project would make the next generation more creative.
A student led summer project would allow students to pick a topic they would enjoy. Majority of people will produce quality work if they have a passion for it. People like to work on projects they enjoy and can open their minds to. If someone likes a subject they will most likely want to pursue that subject. Some students will find the topics a teacher gives them boring and unmotivating. This is due to the fact that one person cannot satisfy everyone in the room. If a student doesn't like a topic they will not enjoy it and it will not accurately represent their academic skills. Allowing students to lead their own summer projects, means they will pick something they will enjoy and have a passion for.
Doing a student led summer project would give students more independence. Students would have to take more responsibility. If a student were to do bad on a project they would have to take responsibility for their actions. It would train the next generation to take responsibility instead of blaming someone else. This would give students more preparation for the adult life. They school system gives little to no preparation on how to manage an adult life, but it would give students a little more experience for the students.

68BF11B32272,"Students do benefit from being able to participate in school despite not being in the building physically. Due to the program, students won't be behind on their work when they are able to physically attend school again. For example, if a student has received a disabling injury, and are not able to get to the school building or move around the school. They would then be able to do all of their work online, and not have to halt their education for the duration of their recovery. This program could also be useful if for some reason the school building is not fit for students to go to.
Say, for instance, a student suffers a blow to the leg, and it prevents them from venturing to their school building. In this situation, the teachers would have to send them physical copies of the work, which could get lost. If the work is available online, though, then the student can access all the work that they need to for the day, and do it from their current location. With the introduction of personal laptops, which the school has provided, the student will have all they need to do their work for the day.
With the looming threat of a Corona Virus outbreak in the United States, there is a possibility of a quarantine being enacted, and students will not be allowed to go to their respective school buildings. In such a scenario, being able to do their schoolwork from home means that the students education will not be put on hold. Also, if the school building were to suffer serious damage, like, for instance, a fire, the same would hold true for this scenario as well. It is much like the scenario for a single student not being able to attend school, but on a much larger scale.
There would be possible downsides, though. It is almost certain that a few students, the kind that you see vaping, or sitting in the back of the class, never doing their work, would take advantage of the out-of-building education. They would see it as an opportunity to get away from their teachers making sure they get their schoolwork done, and would treat the time spent out of the school, due to disablement or quarantine, as a kind of break from having to do work. While it is truly pitiable that they are simple enough to think that is the case, it could also be a kind of benefit. A way to weed out those students with a exceptionally poor work ethic. Their grades will drop, and they will realize that their lack of effort is the only thing to blame. And if they don't realize this, well, it's probably better that they will be held back and not introduced into society in their current state.
Overall, it is safe to say that the program is very beneficial to all students involved. They won't have to suffer a drop in grades because of an injury, and they won't have to put their education on hold in the case of the school building not being fit for use due to a quarantine or the building burning down. While there may be a few downsides in the lack of a physical teacher, Parents could step into that role and help the students get their work done.

515CFDAAA723,"Did you know that it is now mandatory to join an extracurricular? We already have so much to do in the little time we have after school, now we have to spend more time on a extracurricular. Students should not be forced to join an extracurricular because most students are to busy and dont have the time, others may not like the extracurriculars offered at the school,or may not be able to join because they dont want to stay in the school environment for longer than they have to.
Lots of students will not have the time to join an extracurricular and may have to quit other activities. Older students may have jobs to go to and then spend the rest of their time studying for school. Studying for school alone already takes up so much time for a successful students day. If they have to join an extracurricular than they will be under too much stress since the lack of free time and will have an even tighter schedule. A study at Harvard shown that 76% of students are under so much stress and 34% will develop negative effects such as depression, anxiety, or tiredness and it will effect their grade. Other students that have more time on their hands, most likely already are in clubs outside of school that involve the community, such as Girl/Boy Scouts, religious groups, environment groups, or private sports teams. If students will forced into extracurricular groups there is a chance that they will have to quit one of their activities to make time for the extracurricular activity.
If the students will forced into extracurricular groups there will be students that dont find any activity fun or amusing. The students were a part of outside school groups but had to quit because of time management, will probably not find interest in groups the school has to offer because they were not like other groups. Some students will probably find these groups a waste of time. Students at other schools will be able to join more outside school clubs specifically for them, while students here will be forced to join some club they will not find interesting and probably useless. Yes, there will be students that do not mind this new rule, but others will not get the same fun experience, instead they may end up disliking the principle and school.
Some students may not want to join an extracurricular because they dont want to be in the school environment than longer than they have to. More introverted students would not want to join an extracurricular because they are tried and want to go back home were they can spend their time freely and independently. It would be good to have lots of student participation and school spirit, however it should be at will and not something mandatory of students to do if they dont feel comfortable. Eventually students will find it very irritating that they have to be in extracurricular and will try to find an excuse or way to quit. Forcing students to join an extracurricular will not give out a positive effect on the school and its reputation.

Students should not be forced to join extracurricular because they will not get a positive school experience from it. Joining an extracurricular will get more school spirit and students may learn new thing, however it should not be mandatory and nobody will get anything positive from force. We must tell our principle that this new rule is outrageous and should be changed, instead have more school assemblies or let students speak their mind at school more. If the school just pushes ans pushes this new pressure on us it will end with students feeling more stressed, more irritated at the school, and feel like they are more trapped.

27191B7AB2F1,"Good morning, my name is PROPER_NAME and I would like to talk to you about changing the election to an election by popular vote. The candidate with the most votes of the people should get in. Also, the electors can vote for people other than the people their state chose, and faithless electors are a problem.
In Richard A. Posner's article, he brought up that in the 2000 election, Al Gore had more popular votes than George Bush, but Bush got more electoral votes, and won the presidency. The election is an election by popular vote, but if the popular vote doesn't get elected, then it isn't a election at all.
The electors of one state are chosen to pick one candidate and give them their states votes. However, sometimes an elector will get a different idea, and their vote will go to someone else. When that happens, their vote is going against the state citizens decision, so we need a better way of voting.
The electorial college requires that a candidate vist all regions,but not all states. A presidential candidate will skip all the states he knows that are with him, and he will also skip the ones he knows he can't win. A candidate should vist all states, so that the voters know what they are voting for, and the electors know that they made the right choice.
The country would be better off with an election by popular vote, because the votes might get twisted around if there isn't one. The candidate might not even vist the states he is hoping for a vote from, so we need to change the system.

C5F0A4F3B583,"Dear State Senator,
I think we should get rid of the Electorial college because they are unfair. There are only a few reasons to why we need the Electorial college. I think we should get rid the college because it is a non- democratic method of selecting our president. It shoule be overruled by declaring the candidate who got the most popular votes. Its the electors who select the president not the people. When you vote, you are actually voting for a slate of electors.
Another reason why would get rid of the Electorial college is because of the winner takes all system. Canadiates dont spend time in the states they know have no chance of winning. They only focused on the tight races in the ""swing"" states. During the 2000 capaign, seveteen states did not see the the candidates at all including Rhode Island and South carolina, and voters in 25 of the largest media markets did not see a single campaign.
It can be argued that the Electorial College method of selecting the president may turn off potential voters for a candidate who has no hope of carrying their state, demo crates in texas, or reblicans in California for example. Knowing their vote will have no effect, they have less incntive to pay attention to the campign thean they would have if the president were picked by popular vote... The voters in presidential elections are people who to want to express a political preferance rather than people who think that a single vote may decide an election.
Whats wrong the Electorial College?
When we are under the Electorial College system , voters vot not for the president, but they vote for slate of electors. For example if you lived in texas and wanted to vote for [John] kerry, you'd vote for a slate of 34 democratic electors pledged to Kerry. On the off chance that those electors won the statewide election, they would go to congress and Kerry would get 34 electorial votes. These electors could be anyone not holding public office. Plus voters can not control who the electors vote for. Voters end up getting confused because of the candidates the electors vote for.

During summer break most students will not do work unless assigned work to do. Summer projects can help students remember what they learned in school.

Although some believe summer projects need to be student designed it should be known, summer projects must be teacher designed.
Summer projects should be teacher designed because of benefits to the teacher. Summer projects should be teacher designed because teachers can plan ahead. For example, Mr. Generic_Name planned a summer project before school started. If Mr. Generic_Name plans ahead then he would not have to worry about it later in the school year. Summer projects should be teacher designed because it is easier for teachers to grade. For instance, Mr. Generic_Name designed the project so he will know what to look for. It will be easier to grade since he designed thew project and made the rubric. Summer projects should be teacher designed because the teacher will not have to worry about the students doing the wrong things. For example, Mr. Generic_Name will not have to worry about the students designing a inappropriate project or not doing the project at all if he does it himself.
Summer projects should be teacher designed because of benefits to students. Summer projects should be teacher designed so students will not have to worry about designing and doing the project. For instance, Generic_Name will not have to design and do the project. Since the teacher is designing the project Generic_Name will not have to worry about that. She can focus on just doing the project. Summer projects should be teacher designed because students know what teachers are looking for. For instance, the students has had many projects before in Mr. Generic_Name's class. Since the teacher is designing the project the students know what he is looking for. Summer projects should be teacher designed so that the students can get the project done faster. For example, Since Mr. Generic_Name already designed the project all Generic_Name has to do is do the project which saves her a lot of time. Doing just the project is faster than having to design it and do the project.
Even though some believe summer projects must be student designed it should be known, summer projects need to be teacher designed.

168890CF840E,"Your sitting home alone with nothing to do wasting away with boredom, if so then you should do some extracurricular activity. I agree because, I think kids having to do extracurricular activities for school help them, and lets them help. These activities give kids things to do, may help them make friends, and gives them a chance to help others.
First, extracurricular activities give young people something to do. This will get them out of their houses. These children have to go and help their team with the extracurricular activity that they chose. It will also make them use their brains. It teaches them to think outside of the box and to make creations from a thought. Lastly, it can also help them manage their time wisely. If they have other activities that give work or are near the same time, this will help them by learning what is more important or what they care more about. Some students might struggle to find time to do these activities, but they can chose what and when their activities should be.
Secondly, these activities will help kids make new and lasting friendships. Make them work with others. Because these are all run by the school you will have to meet new people regardless, so why not try to make a lasting impression to the people you work with. Have them go on group outings. The children may not be friends with anybody yet and are looking for something to do, group activities are prefect, not only do you do fun stuff with your group, but also get to know them a bit better. They will help each other. If you have problems with home work or a problem with some one around school the others in your group can, and will help you with the problems that you may have. Kids may be shy and don't want to talk to others they don't know this will help them break the ice with a few people so they have some friends to hold them up.
Lastly, this gives them a chance to help others. They can help friends. if a friend needs help on understanding their part of the extracurricular activities or home work then you can help them to understand what they are suppose to do. You can help the school. If you are in student council and think of a way to better the school then you have the power to do what you think is right for the school and students. Finally, this give students a chance to help the community. The students could find ways to benefit the place where they live making it cleaner, safer, or in anyway better. If someone is having a hard time think of how good it would feel to help them out.
Extracurricular activities do influence kids to better themselves, their school, and community. One way was giving these students something to do to improve themselves. Another is making new friends making others lives better helping both school and community. Last is helping others in any way needed for home work, a project, or just by listening.

A87D3BEDF899,"Dear TEACHER_NAME,
To raise the grades for sport participation to a B average is not a good idea. I mean I make good grades but not all ""JOCKS"" do and that's why they are what they are. It is very hard to keep good grades and win for our school. If you change the grade requirement, the sports participant numbers will indeed decrease rapidly. The students I'm sure work as hard as they can and strive to work, but if you take the only thing that keeps them moving in school it won't be a pretty sight.
As I said the sports team number will decrease, just take one look at all the football, basketball and softball players grades and a lot more than half of them are right at a C average or below it. You also have to think about the parents, they are going to be outrage. Some parents live for their children getting a sports scholarship, do we really want parents complaining?
You also have to think about the time consumption of practices and games after school. Most of the students could be under average because of homework and homework alone. If you were to give sports players test they would most likely do a bit better than the other students because they know the material but like i said homework counts a lot. I mean you cant do homework on the sidelines and if you can focus with all the fans and the screaming than this doesn't apply to you anyway.
The students at this school are great students but they just have a lot on their plate. Just take a few more days to consider the high price and how much you have to lose on this bet and I know you will reconsider, because we are looking for what's better for the school as a whole.

6980434BF3A3,"Students often forget the things which they have learned during the school year over the long summer break. To combat this some schools require students to complete summer projects to continue the learning of students and to attempt to keep them from forgetting what they have learned. However, many students dislike these projects because they view them as stupid or they belive that they aren't impactful. These projects should be designed by the students if they should exist at all; having these projects designed by the students would help the students to get more out of it, to have more of a connection with it, and to perhaps learn what they would like.
If these projects were designed by the students then the students would be able to get more out of it. The students would be able to, with some parameters, read a book that actually interests them or research something that actually matters. The students, because they designed it, would be more interested in it and since they are more interested they would learn more about the topic. The students would see it less as something that they have to do and more like something that they want to do. Some may think that they wouldn't get more out of it because they wouldn't design a worthwhile project and in some cases that is true. However, if the students had some parameters surrounding what they could and could not do as well as help form their teachers, then they would be able to learn from the project and actually get something that they would remember out of it.
The students would have more of a connection with a project they were able to design. The students would have a greater interest in doing something they got to choose and in turn would produce not only better projects but they would also have learned more than if they were just assigned something. However, they would still need some kind of communication with their teachers in order to design a good project and to get help with research when needed. Since they would have a greater connection with it then they would not only learn more but would actually remember what they learned. Having this connection would actually help to achieve schools' goal of getting the students to continue to learn and to remember what they have learned.
With control over what they get to do, students would be able to learn about things that actually interest them. For some students this wouldn't help all that much, but for many it would; having a topic that actually interests them would help them to put more time into research and and would make the project more meaningful to them. Having a project that would be meaningful to the student would be the best way to ensure that they continue to learn especially because it could spark an even greater interest in the subject and could create something that the students actually look into for longer than just the summer.
Essentially all of what makes the project useful boils down to meaning of the project to the student. If the project has meaning then the student has more of an impact on the student. If the goal of a school is to continue the education of students then the projects must have meaning to the student so that they will actually learn about and remember what they looked into. Overall the project should be student designed so that the student may get more out of it, have more of a connection with it, and would learn about something that actually interests them.",,603,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

C08FEF535E7F,"Most student's think that when you are at school its free time and its time to text your friends in class and just have an blast. I believe that students should NOT be allowed to use there phones in class. School is a place where you learn not where you sit and text your friend's. I believe that really and truly that at your age at least until your 16 that you don't need an cell phone. Its not a toy is not something that is there for you to take to school and play and show off with.
School is a place where teachers teach you about things that you need to know and your history from the past. First of all you shouldn't be texting in class because your cell phone should be left at home. Even if at school if your teachers is one of those kind who let you have your cell phone out that is not right. NO student should bring there cell phone to school because what if it gets stolen or your best friend knows your combination to your locker and just so happen to take it or maybe even give it to someone else. Who fault is that for bringing it to school, who fault is it that giving your locker combination to someone else?
You may think that it is okay to have it on you at school, but the minute it gets tooken up by one of your teachers or they see the imprint in your pocket and take it, you want to get mad huff and puff and be angry for something that you did. Its not time to text your friends in class and ask them what there doing. Its time for you to learn and not be worried about what other people are doing. Get off that phone sometimes and do your school work. Your phone is not important at school your school work is.
There trying to teach you about things that you need to know, but instead your worried about who's texting you. Most students don't need to be worried about that do your school work and be thankful that you even have someone to teach you things.
So i go with reason two if why students shouldn't have there cell phones at school. At home is where it should be and not in your pocket or in your locker. Once you get home them maybe you can have it. But Students are not focused on there school work, there always worried about mess at school he say she say things that don't concern school. That's how things get started school but electronics and the main thing is you cell phone. So again students SHOULD NOT be able to have there cell phones at school.

50BC2C5D78A9,"The principal has decided that all students must do an extracurricular activity. Extracurricular activities can be fun or can just give you something to do. However, I do not agree with this. The principal might have a good reason for doing this, but students should be able to do whatever classes they want to do and not do whatever they don't want to do, and some extracurricular activities could clog a busy student's life with unnecessary work.
Students should be able to choose whatever they want to do. Some might want to take extracurricular activities, and some might not want to. One of the most important things about work, school, or any type of job is that it doesn't matter what you're doing as long as you're happy doing it. Happiness has a large effect on anyone's life. It is very important that a student is happy with whatever they are doing, because if they do not like what class they are participating in, they might not want to do their work, which could lead to bad grades, which could lead to anxiety or depression. Then, they might not be able to focus on their other classes, and that means more bad grades. There are many other paths that not enjoying your work can go down, too.
Some children's lives could be very busy. Let's say that a child is living in a family that does not have much money, so they need to stay home and babysit their siblings. An extracurricular activity such as a sport can lead to the child not being home until even later that day, which means their parents have to stay home to watch their other children, meaning the parents can not work to make more money. This could lead to very difficult financial issues for the child's family. In fact, this happens too often in real life. This could happen in real life to a student at the school, and they might not even be able to afford school anymore.
The principal should most definitely consider their decision. Extracurricular activity can affect student's lives in many different ways, but some of effects can be not at all beneficial to a student. Unnecessary work can affect emotional, physical, and mental health in more ways than you can imagine. If students want to do an extracurricular activity, they can, and if they don't want to, they shouldn't have to.

It allows students to meet new people they may never would interact with. And it enables students to be able to learn new things they may haven't learned yet. Also it lets students be able to learn great skills that they may need in life. Another thing is that students can find a new hobby they may never thought they would like. So I agree that making students do a extracurricular activity it can lead to great things by letting students find new hobbies or things they like to do, learning important skills, and meeting new people.
Many people have many hobbies or things they like to do. And by making students do a extracurricular activity it can help students find new things they like to do. Sports are a fun and enjoyable activity many students do and love. And by making students do a extracurricular activity, it can help students find a sport they really enjoy that they didn't think they would like. Another activity students may like to do would be art. Many people are fascinated by art and many students may not think they like it, but if students have to do a extracurricular activity it may lead to some finding a love for art. Also music is a thing a lot of people like to listen to or sing. And if some students do band or choir maybe they will find a liking to it. They are al lot so many activities students can do and find out they enjoy it. And by making students do a extracurricular activity they can find a liking to something they didn't think they would enjoy and create a new hobby for it.
Learning important skills can help students during life. And by doing extracurricular activities students can learn some along the way. Learning skills like being able to work together can be very beneficial. And by learning how to work together students can maybe help job teams or even their sports team to be like the Super Bowl winning Kansas City Chiefs or the Milwaukee Bucks. Another important skill is being able to be patient. By being patient it could help students not rush into things to fast and make things worse. And one last important skill students can learn is to never give up. If students never give up it can help them get closer to their goal or even achieve it. There is many important skills students can learn from doing a extracurricular activity, but these can really help a student a lot when the time is needed in life.
Meeting new people is great thing for students to do. And by students doing a extracurricular activity students would be able to meet many new people. By meeting new people you can learn a lot about someone you may have not known. Another thing is that students can be able meet different students from different classes they may not have. Also if a student does a sport, band, or choir they can meet different people from other schools. And in addition to meeting new people, students can find things they didn't know they had in common with other people and it could lead to them becoming great friends. Meeting new people is a great thing, and by doing extracurricular activities students can meet a lot of new people.
Making students do a extracurricular activity has many benefits in for students. By making them do a extracurricular activity it allows the students to learn new things.

The reason I think people should participate in this program is because you get to go on vacations and you almost get to explore around the world.

In paragraph five it also says that he toured and excavated castle's while he was on his way to China.

An outdated education system leaves little room for student growth and success; it can damper the effects of the hard work that both teachers and students put into school. However, this waste of efforts can be easily avoided by means of the updating of school policies. For example, it is growing increasingly more common for schools to offer distance learning as an option for their students. Distance learning allows students to engage in online classes and video conferencing as a way of learning from home. Therefore, students would be able to attend classes virtually from their own homes. Distance learning is an absolutely essential program that all schools should offer, as it allows long-term home bound students to attend classes, short-term absent students to make up their school work faster, and increases the student-technology relationship, which strengthens learning as a whole.
Distance learning would allow long-term home bound students to learn alongside their peers, even if they are unable to physically attend school. Every year, thousands of students are forced to stay home for extended periods of time due to physical or mental illness or other individual reasons. These students, while they are oftentimes provided worksheets and assignments, are quite prone to falling behind in terms of the material. If they are not at school and at the lessons each and every day, it is extremely easy to lose awareness of the material being taught, especially if the only outlet for their learning is a packet of worksheets with practice problems. Without a teacher and peers, these students do not have access to immediate feedback on mistakes or teachers who are able to answer their questions. However, with distance learning, long-term home bound students would be able to work alongside their peers. They could engage in online activities and applications that would strengthen their knowledge of the material, while also allowing them to interact with their teacher and peers. Especially when it comes to video conferencing, students who cannot physically attend school would still be able to ask their teacher questions in person and potentially have private lessons. It is never a student's fault if they are unable to come to school due to an illness; therefore, it should not be difficult to learn if that is the case.
Not only would distance learning aid long-term home bound students, but it would also help the short-term ones. Students stay home from school every day, whether it be from a minor illness or injury or a trip out of town. Obviously, these students are at much less risk of losing their understanding of the material, but absences still require make-up work. Students can miss lessons and lectures, project presentations, and critical study time with their peers that would better their understanding. With distance learning, a student who is well enough to work but contagious to their peers could still present a project, take a test, take notes on a lecture, and engage in class discussions all from home. It is unfair to limit a student's potential learning time based on things that they cannot control, like illnesses or travel. Furthermore, students that travel frequently would also be benefited, as they could work while on the go and review material when they have free time so as not to fall so far behind their classmates.
Some might argue that the use of technology and distance learning would not be an effective way to educate students. There are possibilities for misuse of technology and applications and many people fear that an introduction of too much technology into education would lessen the quality of that education exponentially. However, there are steps that can be taken to limit off-task student activity: students could be limited to certain applications or browser extensions or be monitored by a parent or guardian. All things considered, though, the potential for the waste of students' time in no way warrants a dismissal of distance learning. Especially when considering all of the students that would otherwise not be able to learn, the meager amount of work to set up technology restrictions for those schools who desire it is most definitely worth it in the long run. Furthermore, simply because some students may abuse the power of distance learning does not mean that it should not be offered to those who truly need it.
Distance learning should be made available to all applicable students because it allows for long-term home bound students to attend classes, short-term absent students to make up their school work faster, and increases the student-technology relationship. Distance learning programs would not only help the students in keeping up with their studies, but also teachers in supplying their students with adequate learning resources for all situations. It has become even more prevalent now; as the COVID-19 virus spreads internationally, more and more schools and universities are transitioning to virtual learning for the safety of students, teachers, and staff. Truly, distance learning ensures the safety of those involved without sacrificing any of the benefits of a physical classroom. So long as advancements like distance learning continue to be made in the future, education will maintain its vital and prevalent role in all students' lives.",,869,Distance learning,Independent,Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing.

C0307836F819,"Distance learning can look like the future of schooling, most colleges already use online video conferencing software as a way for students to attend their classes and they even have some classes that can only be taken online without needing to come to classroom at all. Distance learning is a practice of attending a class online from home, it is a good tool that would benefit the students and allow them to learn from a comfort of their couches if they are sick, and they don't want to miss out on the content that their classmate go through. While it is a good practice for some students who can not attend the class, some would argue it ineffective and that students would not attend them anyways. Schools should offer students to take the classes from home because it would benefit the students and help them avoid the sticky situations of not knowing the topic because they missed a class.
Distance learning would be a beneficial thing for students as another study tool they would use often if they miss schools a lot. In lots of cases when a student misses a class it is usually a pain for them to catch up since the online classrooms don't always help. Without listening to the lectures, the content of the online classrooms might look confusing since they weren't able to listen to the instructions given by the teacher. Attending the class online in a video conference form, would drastically help the students to not miss anything, be able to write down the necessary notes, listen to the instructions on the assignment or a project, and it wouldn't feel like they were frozen for ages in the cave and missed out on a lot of things. In China because of the virus outbreak the students attend the classes from home to avoid getting the virus or to avoid spreading it, it helps them to stay on top of their learning, benefit themselves or others.
Lots of times not being able to attend the class usually harms students, their learning, and their grades. If the schools begin to offer distance learning and video conferencing, it would help students pay attention in class without even being inside the school. Attending the class online would help students miss the class without any harm to them, and continue their learning the next day in schools without any hustle like they never missed a second in class. Colleges recently began to practice distance learning because their students were not able to attend the classes for various reasons. Now with online-conferencing-software, it is way easier for students to keep up with school, stay productive without constantly needing to catch up if they miss a lot of classes, and listen to the lecture if they are having difficulty coming to classrooms.
With the results and the increase in productivity seen in college students, schools should offer distance learning as an option for students to attend the class, because it would reduce the hustle of catching up, lots of learning can be done online, and students don't feel as bad about missing the class if they attend it online and it doesn't hurt their attendance report. Learning shouldn't be headache if a student couldn't come to class. Student are going to benefit from this program because it would help them be on the same page with the teacher and their classmates, not make learning even more harder, help students pass all their exams, get good grades, and graduate.

Some school offers distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way online or video conferenaring. I don't think that students would benefit from being able to attend classes from home. there for, students would not care about school. First,students would rather quite learning than to do it online. Second, students wouldn't even want to go to school so why would they waste thier time on a cumputer the hole da? Last but not least,they would do whatever they want ot do because there's no one at home to tell them to focus on thier works. Also students won't pay close attention to learn. For example, they would wake up late to learn. students would play games all day. And also, thier grades would go down instead of going up. Students wouldn't be able to make new friends if they stay at home every day. First, students would be lonely because there are no friends at home to play with after done with homework or fininsed learning. Second, they might think that thier phone and TV would keep the busing but sometimes you find them boring too because you do the same things on your phone over and over again. such as watching TV, posting pictures, commenting and your friends post, texting all your friends, making phone calls and etc. we all like phones i do to, but sometimes we get tierd of them and jut wonder what should i do now? well i will tell you, you should go out and make some new friends and have fun with your life because life is like an uncooked egg if it fells down and breaks you can't put it back together again. also life is shot enjoy it while you still can. It's not a good idea for stidents to stay at home. i know there is no place like home. sometimes i get in trouble with my mother because i stay at home alot so when she wants me to go out she tells me to go to church on sunday. i know what you are thnking, who goes to church to have fun why not go to parties and the mall? well because going to church, you won't meet evil people outside you are always safe in the house of the lord. While some people believe that student would not care about school other aurge that they can be educated at home by thier parents for example, some students wants to be the first to graduate in thier family just like me. They would also get a better job and take care of thier parents. they would have a lot of opportunities that some people are are still looking for regreating for not going to school. Above all, i believe that students can make diffrences and make choices that won't affect them in the future and aslo students attending school at home might not be a good adiea but it would get them closer to thier families.",,523,Distance learning,Independent,Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing.

A48461463FB6,"When most people think of summer they think of things like the beach,sun, travel and relaxation. Many students do not think about learning during their summer break, nor do they want to. However most schools require their students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning over break. These summer projects should be student-designed because fellow students will be able to understand their peers struggles and interests, connect with a project that is designed for them, and learn more from topics and examples that interest them.
Fellow students have a much better understanding and knowledge to what students are interested in, as well as things they may struggle with. Their peers would be able to design a project that they know their friends will enjoy. A student-designed project will help prevent a student from not being able to complete the assignment. For example if a teacher where to assign an online web quest but didnt know that some students did not have access to the internet, a fellow peer would see that issue in their school and know to create a project to be submitted by paper. it is also well known that if something does not interest a student they probably would not want to complete it. A project created by a peer would help grab their attention, make connections, and get them excited to complete it.
Being able to connect with an assignment is very important for a students drive and interest in a project. If a student can connect to their assignment they will be more excited to complete it. A fellow student will be able to better connect a project to the current trends and interests. This will boost a students confidence and not make them dread doing work over the summer. A summer assignment should not feel like work; if a student connects to it and enjoys the topic then it will feel less like extra work that they have to do over their summer vacations'. When a student connects to a topic this will make them eager to learn more about the project.
When a topic interests some one they are more likely to want to learn more about it. If a student was to design a project that interests their peers it will help them learn more and get more take away from an assignment, which is the whole point of an summer project. Parents and teachers want their students to continue to learn over the summer, so when a student has an assignment that they actually want to do they are more likely to benefit and learn from it even with out noticing that they are learning.
Students obviously dont want to have to do work over the summer. So summer assignments need to be fun hands on and include topics that students enjoy and connect to. This will help students be engaged and continue their education while school in not in session; which is exactly what parents and teachers want! Students will benefit greatly from a student-designed project because their peers are able to understand what they enjoy, connect with their topics, and learn more from a project that interests them.

C70531168CB0,"Many people around the world drive vehicles to get from point a to point b. Although this is a good source of personal transportation, it may not be as favorable as people imagine.
Primarily, the decrease in vehicles being a source of personal transportation is fairly beneficial to the environment and ourselves. In fact, this new ""phenomenon"" is happening all over the world. As mentioned in the articles ""In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars"", ""Paris Bans Driving Due To Smog"", ""Car Free Day is Spinning Into A Big Hit In Bogota"", and ""The End of Car Culture"", many citizens of many different cultures see that the lowered usage of vehicle transportation doesn't only decrease how many greenhouse gasses are getting in the atmosphere but also improves our wellbeing by reducing stress levels. Not only does it help us relieve stress and what ails us but it also makes the distance we have to travel to purchase food much shorter, as cited in ""In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars"", giving us the opportunity to restock our supply over time instead of buying multiple cart loads at once.
Secondarily, according to the article ""The End of Car Culture"", having access to busses and other public transportation can improve our safety. It is also seen in this article that ""at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, Bill Ford came up with a business plan to create a world where personal vehicle ownership isn't needed or is undesirable.

11227C65387B,"In some areas in Germany, mainly the suburb areas, people don't use cars as often as most people usually do. Car usage is a pretty big problem theese days. Cars mainly cause pollution, and smog but it also causes some places to ban driving partially. We can potentially stop theese problems if we start to live like some parts of Germany; We can live as a car-free city.
The Earth's pollution is mainly caused by cars. Although we probably will not make a law to ban cars completely in the U.S we can potentially start to live like Vauban, Germany. In Vauban, Germany the residents of this community are suburban pioneers. Living on the outskirts of Freiburg, near the French and Swiss border, Vauban's streets are completely ""car free."" Vauban has only one place to park-large garages at the edge of development, where a car owner can buy a space for about $40,000, along with a home. In result to this 70 percent do not own cars, and 57 percent sold a car to move here. Vauban completed having no cars in 2006 has grown a trend in Europe, the United States and others to take a step back from auto usage. This movement was called the ""smart movement.""
Furthermore the cons from using cars so often is mainly pollution and smog. Due to near-record pollution, Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city. In result to this prohibition nearly 4,000 drivers were fined according to Reuters. Traffic was down 60 percent in the capital of France. After five days of intensifying smog it trailed toward Beijing, China, wich is known as one of the most pollutted cities inthe world. Diesel fuel was to blame for this. France has a tax policy that favor diesel over gasoline. Diesels make up 67 percent of vehicles in France, compared to 53.3 percent of the average diesel engines n the rest of Western Europe. Sure enough the smog cleared fast enough for the French party to rescind the ban of partial driving.
To add on President Obama's abitious goal to curb the U.S greenhouse gas emissions will recieve assist from an incipient shift in American behavior. U.S, with its broad expanses and suburban ideals, had been one of the world's prime car cultures. After decades of being in love with cars America's love affair with vehicles seems to be going down. If this continues, many sociologists believe it will, it will have a beneeficial implication towards carbon emissions and the environment. Since this happened there has been a large drop in percentage of 16 to 39 years olds from getting a license, while elders are likely to retain their license as they age. Such projections have important business implications, even if car buyers are mainly older or buying less cars in one's lifespan rather than rejecting car culture outright.

A4EAECAB4CA7,"Phones and Driving
Cell phones are a distraction to the entire society today. A distracted driver using their cell phone is one of the most prominent reasons for car accidents. People should not be allowed to use a cell phone while operating a vehicle. Cell phones are a distraction and when being used while driving, could result in a car accident that might be fatal or in the least, cause serious injury to you or another innocent person.
When driving a car, the biggest distraction is a cell phone that is turned on and ready to receive calls and text messages. Even cell phone providers are moving towards advancements with applications that assist drivers to ignore their phones or mute them until the vehicle is not operational. Some states are passing laws that require drivers to place their cell phones in an area out of reach to the driver.
Several accidents and even fatalities have happened because of distracted drivers.
The driver might take their eyes off the road for a split second, and then return their eyes to the roadway and have no clue if they stopped at a stop sign or ran through a red light. When a driver takes his or her eyes off the road to read a text or find a phone number to make a call, the driver has just put their life and other lives into serious danger. Life as they know it can dramatically change with that one quick glance away from the road.
No person wants to live the rest of their life carrying the guilty burden and consequences of making a stupid decision; however, people do it every day.
Some distracted drivers are sitting in jail right now, with serious legal trouble, insurmountable debt for attorneys, and an unimaginable feeling of guilt because they made the decision to look away and either killed someone else or seriously injured someone. That life changing moment will haunt them for the rest of their life. Assuredly, they all wished they had that quick second or two back to not let the cell phone distract them.
Many people, for many years, traveled around the world with no cell phone or GPS, no Siri or Alexa to guide them, and certainly no distractions from text messaging or gaming opportunities. A distracted driver can be the cause of physical harm or even death to oneself or others. Why is it such a hard thing to put your phone down while driving? I am glad the state of Georgia passed the ""Hands Free"" or ""Distracted Driver"" law that states no cell phones should be touched by the driver of a vehicle. Too many people die every year because of distracted drivers that were either texting or talking while driving a vehicle. A loss of life is the most horrific experience any family member will deal with and most definitely the most senseless reason for a family to lose a loved one. Picture your parents answering the door to a police officer and the officer telling them you have been involved in a car wreck... it's the absolute worst nightmare for any parent.

The idea of a driverless or smart car was actually a really dumb idea if the smart car was really 'smart' then it could navigate its way through roadwork but people just keep getting lazier and lazier their always looking for much easier ways of doing stuff, my personal opinion is that we need to go back to making vehicles like we did in the 1970s they were simple, easy to fix, and were real nice looking vehicles. The human drivers of a driverless car can easily be distracted by all this technology the car manufacturers have put in and on these vehicles that they could be driving and end up in a fatal crash just because they was distracted by some 3-D lazer mapping or a camera on the inside of the car.
These kind of cars would change the world but people would regret it later on in the years when more and more people get killed because of them.

EF5A8F9E551F,"When making a decision, big or small, it is very important to talk to more than one person. Seeking multiple opinions on the same situation can make you think about multiple points of view, lead you to create your own version of the advice given to you, be a good bonding experience, and result in you feeling supported, cared for, and happy. When all of those factors add up, you are going to make the better choice to solve a problem.
Every person has different ideals, beliefs, and different ways of thinking. So, as you go around asking for advice, you will receive many unique ways of approaching the exact same situation. This will help you think about choices that never would have occurred to you if you had not asked for the advice of other people.
The best part about having multiple opinions is the fact that you can take all of it, or none of it! You can even make your own version of it based on what you think is best for you, by modifying advice that is given to you, and putting it together with your own take on the situation.
Another reason why asking for multiple opinions is a good idea, is because it is a great opportunity to bond with others and have extra help on a problem. For example, if there is someone in your class that you really want to be friends with, you can ask for their advice and have a conversation with them. If that person becomes comfortable talking to you, you are likely to become friends. Having friends with you can help you make the better choice when solving a problem.
Receiving multiple opinions allows you to have different choices, but it can also make you feel supported. Your community is an amazing place with an abundance of special people who want to help you be the best version of yourself. They care about what you do, which will make you feel much better about whatever it is you are going through, and help you make the right decision.
When you have no path to travel on when it comes to a problem that must be solved, make the choice to talk to your peers, family members, and other people in your community. This can allow you to have different opinions, make friends, and feel better, in order to work through your tough problems successfully.",,401,Seeking multiple opinions,Independent,"When people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person.

In my personal opinion i say yes it would be valuable. I think it would not only be valuable to students but also to teachers. It would be helpfull to students because say for example you have a crush on a fellow classmate but dosent know how she feels about you with a app called snapchat you are able to communicate through pictures, so if you knew how she felt about the conversation based on the selfie she sent it would give you a accurate idea of how she feels about you.

Also at some point humans are probably going to run into other challenges like Venus. These claims are some of the reasons the author thinks Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents.
According to some scientists Venus may have been like Earth at one point. If it really was like Earth before there could be much to learn about it. We could find out what the atmosphere was like before it got too extreme. There may be evidence of life that was once on the planet. In paragraph two the suthor states ""Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size¨ This is a reason many people believe Venus could have been even more of a twin to Earth than it is now.
On the surface there could be the evidence we need to know if there was life forms on Venus. In paragraph five it is said ¨The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters.¨ This statement makes it seem that Venus really was like Earth at one point and may have proof if we could land long something on Venus long enough to study the land.
In the future humans will continue to explore the solar system and will very likely run into a planet like Venus again. So if humans can learn how to study planets like Venus or land on them then they would have the knowledge needed for the next planet. If we have experince with planets with extreme conditions before finding another planet that also has extreme conditons we could get more information from the plant and at a lot faster rate.

Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gass emissions in Europe. This is a huge percent due top cars. If there were less cars then the emissions of greenhouse gases would go down which is a big advantage. In Europe they are trying to reduce the greenhouse gas emissons by reducing the use of cars. The emissons from an increasing number of private cars are choking the cities. With limiting the car usage the cities would not be as polluted. Like Eurpoe Paris bans driving due to the smog.

Cars also make cities such as China filled with intensifying smog. Cars are making the particulate matter go up by a huge percent.

559C4C75FF14,"Are driverless cars good for the future or the destruction of it? I believe that driverless cars are dangerous to human lives because of how technology can fail, How technology has no reguard, and how it can be hard to use.
The first reason why the driverless car is dangerous is because of how it can fail. If I am driving I sure don't want to have the technology to fail and cause me to kill a person. For example what if the car never told me that I had to start driving and it went through a construction site and killed some of the workers. There would be blood on my hands!
The second reason why the driverless car is not safe is because it has no reguard for any thing. It is not like a living human that cares about the surroundings and can think to change course if need be. It may not think that a baby passing on the road is a big enough concern to try and stop. It states this in the passage ""most driving laws focus on keeping driver, passengers, and pedestrians safe, and lawmakers know that saftey is best achieved with alert drivers.

3EFA3EE80C51,"Dear Principle,
Community service is a great way to help today's communities, and also a way to meet new people. However, not all people would want to do this. I personally think that community service is a volunteer job and that people of the community should do it at their own free will. Depending on what type of services the students would provide would vary the response in enthusiasm. My opinion to community service would be that every one needs to do their share in helping.
Most students are very compatible and can be convinced to do something that might not sound fun or appealing at all; but when it comes to adults putting in their share, they normally don't have the time to do so when they have work. I think its up to the youth of today to keep our communities in good shape. Maybe after school programs where students and friends could get together and have fun either cleaning up or help younger children or elders. Snacks and trips could be given and make community service less than a job and more of a hobby.
Requiring students to do community service would get things done faster and more efficiently rather than asking them to do it on their own time. For example, if you ask a random student, ""Would you like to help me pick up trash?"" they are most likely to say they have something better to do. If they were told they have to, it would get done and if you added something that is entertaining to that person they are more likely to come back and help again.
Community service can be done by any age group. Taking a group of 7-8 year olds to a park to pick up trash would be one of the simple was to teach the younger age group that their a part of this community. Later they can go play on that playground and enjoy themselves. 10-15 year olds could help teach the younger group or head out with their friends and help out at the schools, any age higher could do the same.
There are many ways to help, and many people to do the job enforcing students to do that job would be an complete positive to our community. I think when i get a chance i will do community service within my neighborhood and with my friends. The smallest of jobs can make a big impact.

BB009CEC8D8F,"Summer vacation is a time where many students travel, have fun, or simply relax. Many times students have to do school work in order to continue their learning process. The best way to continue their learning process during break is with student-designed projects. Although teacher- designed projects are more organized and simple to follow, student- designed projects enhances their thinking and organizational skill. When students create their own projects it becomes easier for them to fit in their schedule. With them being able to create their own projects, it also allows them to enjoy what they are doing.
To begin, student-designed projects makes it easier for students to fit in their busy schedule. A good amount of students are really busy during break, for example, many students travel or are in competative sports. Some, during travel, do not have easy access to utensils they might need for reasearch during a teacher-designed project. Student- designed projects allows them to do general research like, interviewing someone from france, or looking at a famous painting. It will not over complicate or stress students during ,or returning from travel. It makes it easy to commute with students who have busy schedules.
Secondly, it will also allow them to enjoy the project. Many teacher based projects are about topics students do not like, or are intrested in. With student-designed projects are free to choose what interest them the most. It does not just allow them to have fun but also lets them embrace their own personalities, For example, projects can be about music, art, sports, or even diversity it self. Things will be less difficult for students and will bring a sense of diversity to each individual project. Student-designed projects will allow them to have fun and embrace themselves while doing it.
To conclude, Summer vacation is one of the best vacations in school. Sometimes students are put in charge of completing tasks while on vacation, to ensure that they continue to learn.

476DAA9251E5,"In my opinon I don't think that driverless cars should be made or yet even tested. I believe that the car could stop working in the middle of driving people some where. Then those people would get into a car crash because they can't do anything because it is a driverless car. Yes, it sounds great and cool to not have to drive a car and it do it itself, but there are many things that can go wrong with this idea.
What happens when something goes wrong with the car? Who is to be blamed? The owner or the person/company who made the car? These are just a few questions I have over this topic. I believe that if something goes wrong with the car and someone gets hurt the owner shouldn't be the one to get blamed. It should be the person/company who made the car because they are suppose to make sure the car is safe for people to even be in, and safe for the road since a computer is driving it.
What if someone hacks into the software/data base of the car and makes it drive people and into the middle of nowhere, to an abondon house, or something like that so they could get killed? What do you do then? Has anyone thought about that? I doubt that has crossed any of the companies, who want to makes these cars, mind. I mean you hear on the news all the time about all these people getting hacked. What's going to stop these hacker from not hacking into these driverless cars to harm certain people they have a strong hate to? If they really wanted to hurt someone they will stop at nothing to do that. How are these cars even going to be safe? Its like asking a three year old to drive a car.

9FA072A65735,"To start off with, electing electors sounds a little bit redundant. Also, why do we vote for somebody that can vote in their own right as mentioned in article two provided to me? I say as a citizen of the United States that we should vote directly to determine the new president.
If we vote for a representative of our state to elect our president, how can we be certain that he/she will vote as planned? The entire system is far from perfection, but can be fixed temporally. By changing the amount of votes to numbers that be added to equal the amount of representatives respectivly, it can provide an estamation of how many representatives from a state can elect a certain party. For example, if 4,000,000 people vote for republican and 16,000,000 vote democrat in a state with 10 representatives, 2 representatives will vote republican, 8 will vote democrat.
However, if you do this, there will still be flaws in the system. The best way in my opinion of electing a presedent is to go ahead and let the people vote their opinion. Simple calculations to find percentages can determine the majority vote and elect the president/vice president, making things alot cheaper and more efficient. All by using a simple four-function calculator.
To wrap things up, I will state that even though I am only part of the minority of the U.S., I am still a citizen stating his/her opinion towards a better future towards my homeland.

0ABF7A12CCF2,"Is the Face on Mars a mesa or is it made by alien life? Well, the answer to that world-wide question is that it is a mesa. In other words, a natural landform that has been there or been made over time by the planets rotation. I strongly believe that the Face on planet Mars is just a natural landform, because we have almost like it on Earth, there are no signs of alien life in the pictures or scientific research, and the pictures taken, show that there are shadows that create a facial look in the natural landform.
First off, we have a natural landform located in the Snake River Plain of Idaho. The one on Mars is almost equivalent to the one here on our planet. In paragraph 12, it states, "" That's a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars."" This is plainly saying that the one on planet Mars could just be a lava dome of some sort just like the one here on Earth.
Also, there are no signs of alien life through the pictures taken from the cameras. How could this alien life we talk about create this Face, when there is no evidence of this alien life? The pictures were taken mutiple times in different years to make sure of this. They had people questioning, so they did further research. For example in paragraph number eight, ""...peer through wispy clouds to see the Face. Perhaps, said skeptics, alien markings were hidden by daze."" The skeptics that wanted the benifits of actually finding alien life wanted actual proof that it is merily only a mesa. They ende up being proved that it is only a mesa.
To also say, the photographs that were studied have been intereprted. They have been interepreted to the point that they can pin-point certain material. They proved that by when they said that is merily shadows that the mesa has, from depth, that create the face like look. For example in paragraph number three, it states ""The captain noted a 'huge rock formation... which resembles a human head... formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth.'"" The images were showing that there were some dips in this mesa that created it to look as if it were an actual face.
There are people who say,"" Just because the cameras say that there is no life on Mars, doesn't mean that there is no life."" To prove that wrong, it states in paragraph number 11, ""As a rule of thumb, you can discern things in a digital image 3 times bigger than the pixel size."" Also later on in the paragraph, ""...if there were objects in this picture like airplanes on the ground or Egyptian pyramids... you could see what they were."" Meaning if there was any 3-d image, it would have been picked up and been able to ananlyze. The Face is obviously a natural landform that has been there from the beginnging. Also, people used to say and still say "" look at the man on the moon."" There is no man on the moon, there is a mesa that was shaped that looks like a Face. The Face n Mars is just another incident of what happend with the moon.
In conclusion, the Face on Mars is just a natural landform like the one here on earth and the one that appears on the face of the moon. I strongly hold my belief that the Face on planet Mars is just a natural landform because there is almost an exact replica here on earth, there are no sientific signs of life, and the pictures that were taken, that have been analized, show that shadows create the face. Will there one day be life somewhere else besides Earth. I will never know, but as of right now and the scientific records that are based on this essay, this Face that people say might be made by aliens is not logical. This Face on Mars is a mesa.

B131205A86C4,"In ""The Challege of Exploring Venus,"" the author says that further study of the planet Venus would be a worthy pursuit for humanity. Closer examination of Venus presents many dangers, but despite this, the author still believes that learning more about Venus would be worth while. The author supports his belief by explaining some of the curiosities that draw humans to Venus--such as the posibilty of having had life previously--, by comparing Venus to our home planet of Earth, and by exploring some of the ideas for how Venus could be explored.
In order to convince the reader that further exploration of Venus is worth the risk, the author peaks the reader's interest with ideas about the planet. The author knows that the idea of life existing outside of Earth is common thought for most people, so he tosses out the possiblity of Venus having previously supported life. He states that Venus was likely covered in oceans previously and, ""could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth."" Life on other planets has fascinated people for generations, and the author decides to use this to try and convince the reader that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers its presents.
The author continues to explain the reasons to further explore Venus, which he begins to aid with facts. The author describes how close Venus is to Earth, relatively speaking. He says that at times Venus is the closest planet to Earth. The author also decsribes the similarities that Venus has to Earth, including size, density, and surface. This author uses facts that support his claim to try and convince the reader of his idea, which works well in this case.
Like any good argument, the author highlights some counter arguments, and then gives possible solutions. For example, the author explains the harsh conditions of Venus such as high temperature and high atmospheric pressure. The author even tells the reader that, ""no spacecraft has survived the landing for more than a few hours."" All of these seem like deal breakers, but the author does a good job of countering these points with solutions. The author describes ideas from NASA, such as a ""blimp-like vehicle"" that would float about thirty miles above the surface of Venus and avoid many of the harshest conition. He also disusses the use of electronics made of silicon carbide that would be better equipped to handle the intense conditions of Venus. The author looks at flaws in his idea, and finds solutions to them.

Movement of one or more muscl is called an ""action unit."" Then Dr. Huang relies on the work of psycologist, such as Dr. Paul Eckman, creator of FACS ( Facial Action Coding System ).

The Facial Action Coding System is a great help because then we can determine is some one is happy or sad , depending on face expression that they make in the picture according to the computer.
The Facial Action Coding System does calculate a little bit of the persons emotions depending on your facial expression. It even shows how you can try this at home.

6DA0FDDBAFB1,"Unreal Theories & Magazine Believings
I believe the face on mars is a natural landform. I believe this because, in a few paragraphs, they say that it can't be possible and that they took a picture and that wasn't the case. My three examples from the text are in paragraph 11, paragraph 7, and paragraph 9. The face on mars is a landform, and i could prove it to you.
In paragraph 11 it shows that this so called ""face"" is actually not a real face. It says in paragraph 11, ""As a rule of thumb, you can discern things in a digital image 3 times bigger than the pixel size, so if there were objects in this picture like airplanes on the ground or Egyptian-style pyramids or even small shacks, you could see wat they were"". I think that this ""fact"" is actually kind of unreal. For example, if you take a picture of the sun, and you make the picture 3 times bigger than that size, you wont see how the real sun looks because the picture doesnt have all the good pixels you need to get a perfect picture. Its almost to never when someone has a perfect picture and you can see every detail of the picture.
In paragraph 7 it states ""Thousands of web surfers were waiting when the image first appeared in a JPL web site, revealing... a natural landform. There was no alien monument after all"". Thats one of the best examples i have so far because, if they went up to mars to check out if this face was real or fake and it ended up to be fake, AND they have proof, of course its not going to be real. some people still believe that the face is still real as it says in paragraph 8. Some people were so anxious to have the answer, that they started to have theories about the planet. as it says in paragraph 8,""The camera on board MGS had to peer through wispy clouds to see the Face. Perhaps, said skeptics, alien markings were hidden by haze"". If anyone has heard me, i have said SKEPTICS. They said that for a reason to let people know that answers is better than a hypoothesis.
My last example is from paragraph 9. In paragraph 9, it says that "" Mars Global Surveyor is a mapping spacecraft that normally looks straight down and scans the planet like a a fax machine in narrow 2.5 km-wide strips. ""We just don't pass over the Face very often,"" he noted"".
They dont pass over the face very often because if you think about it, they just look straight down and scan the planet. The planet doesn't swirl on different sides. it stays in something that is called orbit. Orbit is something used for the plant to go in circles. it doesn't go everywhere like a regular sphere on earth, it has to stay in one place.
I believe that the Face isnt a real face, but actually a landform. I have chosen Those few examples to change your mind about how you feel about the Face, when, in all reality, its a landform. I believe I can change your mind about the feeling of knowing that this Face is a natural landform, most likely made by a meteor hitting the planet.",,554,The Face on Mars,Text dependent,"You have read the article 'Unmasking the Face on Mars.'

D05175CB5CDC,"Phones have been around for a long time since 1973, and it have become one of a key part of people lives. People uses cell phones phones for everything like : texting , talking , videos and pictures, and mostly social media. Sadly, people are choosing the wrong time to be on their cell phone and that time is when people are driving. Today's society, people are more worried about their phone more than their personal safety and the safety of other people in the vehicle because people don't know when to put their phone down. It is hypothesized that despite an effective way of communication, using cell phones while driving results in distracting attention of driver increasing road safety concerns.
Billions of people all over the world are using cell phones daily in their life routine. Cell phones have different features including games, music , and cameras etc. However, observations, experience, and studies have highlighted the dangerous effects of using cell phones during driving is that it distracts attention of the driver. Cell phones have become a concern and a major cause of road accidents. Drivers that uses their cell phone are not able to give their complete attention on the road are causing danger to the other people on the road.
Cell phones during reduces the mental capacity of drivers as they fail to concentrate on minor or major activities happening around them. Focus of the driver is not on the road or traffic and it becomes difficult to handle the phone and the vehicle at one time. The understanding, vision, general awareness, and concentration of the driver are impacted while communicating on the cell phone during driving. Especially during horrible weather or driving on slippery roads, drivers engage in conversation pay less attention to the areas increasing risk of fatal accidents.
The main advantage to avoid using cell phones on the road is guaranteed safety of a driver. By making conversation , writing messages , or just playing with a cell phone increases the chances of accidents. The awareness of events happening around vehicle has a huge impact on driving. Using a cell phone makes it difficult to keep an eye on any outside events.
It's clearly obvious that phones should not be used on the road while driving. On the basis of arguments presented, it can be concluded that although effective way of communication, using cell phones during driving distracts attention of driver increasing roads safety concerns.

59CAD930EF50,"There are two different optionss that could take place when deciding my opinion on driverless cars. I am against driverless cars, for a numerous amount of reasons. So many things could go wrong when having driverless cars around. Car accidents occur every single day, and I don't believe that driverless cars would help this cause. People need to be more aware of their surroundings and pay a lot more attention to the roads when driving. Just like every type of technology today, it's highly possible that these driverless cars won't work properly and malfunction. Driverless cars could ruin our world and harm our lives in so many different ways.
Today's current drivers and cars, already cause car accidents and harm to everyone's lives. If our society were to add driverless cars into the mix, it would be chaos. More people would be getting car wrecks, because they would have a reason to text, eat, talk, and even sleep while driving. These people won't realize that the driverless cars won't work 100%. It is possible that the sensors will not work, and that it is all on them to be aware of their surroundings and be alert to steer the car in the right direction. Any laws against texting and driving, would not help to stop this, because people do not always listen. Almost anywhere, texting and driving is illegal, but even today, I still see people going agaisnt these laws, and causing themselves to get in a crash. Driverless cars will all be going at different speeds, therefore, making everyone more prone to getting into an accident. If these driverless cars were to all go at the exact same speed, it could cause people to be late to certain events. Driverless cars would have so many components to them that they would need to work, so that means that they would use up more energy/fuel. If the driverless cars would need more gas, then that means that gas would be more expensive, which is a huge downside for people. Even now, we are not sure whether these driverless cars would actually work or not, but we also are not sure that if these cars did work, that they will work properly.

I do not believe that you should make all kids do community service, and there are many reasons I believe this. First of all, most kids would object to doing this because it is too much work. All kids think school is to much work to begin with. Speaking of school, it would cut away at our school time too much. if we were all to do an hour of community service within school hours, it would be to much time taken away, near 20 hours each month, almost 3 entire school days wasted. My third and final point is that there is little to do. after a week of community service, almost all the litter everywhere would be picked up. Not to mention there's no town of just old ladies trying to cross the street.

Driverless cars are supposed to do it all on their own, but they still want driver assistance. When you are the driver in a driverless car wouldnt you get bored? Well if you drive and fall sleep due to the amount of time that you dont do anything. Then sudenly the care will change to the driver mode. you will not know about it because your asleep, so then the car can not handle it and then crash with you in it. This doesnt even have to be you sleeping. It can be texting, listening to music, or grabing something in the car. This is why the driver assistance is very dangerouse to not just you in the car but people that are dirving right next to you.
Your safety is the most important thing so they say. When you are in this vehicle that has tons of wiring, dont you think something is going to go wrong. Well there is, the car could shortcircut in the middle of nowhere. When you find out that the car wont work and you are lost what are you going to do. I garentee you that they didnt think of microchiping your car. Also not even pootinga beaker in it the signals to the closes police station. Both of these two reasons are what if and i know that.

We worked hard to get our licsence and had to wait a long time. Then the younger generation is tottaly different. When they will go take the driving thest is is only going to see if you know how to turn and park. When the self drive is turned on it is a peice of cake.

F10B5A59FE18,"There are many reasons why reducing the need for transportation by car would help solve many problems. Cars cause many major environmental issues. Cars also cause many health issues, seeing that they encourage motorized transportation, instead of the human body's own two-legged system of getting from point 'A' to poit 'B'. Many authors have wrote about cases where some places in the world are trying to see how becoming a car-free zone would help the economical, environmental, and health related issues caused by vehicles such as cars.
Elizabeth Rosenthal explains that a German experiment is already happening where the country have created a city where there are little to no vehicals driving down the roads without punnishment. In the passage I recently read, by Rosenthal, titled ""In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars"", she talks about how Vauban, Germany residents are playing the most important role in an experimental project that prohibits things like street parking, driveways, and home garages. The district has also moved nessecary places (grocery stores, etc.) a lot ""closer-to-home"" in order to make them be within walking distances of peoples' houses. This is done as a way to essentially eliminate the use of vehicles to get from place to place. One man, Heidrun Walter, says, ""When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way."" He is one of many participants of this experiment who shows that terminating vehical use in countries will possibly make a lot of people happier and it will also cause the air around us to be nearly free of pollutes and toxins that we possibly inhale on a daily basis, as suggested in paragraph #5 of Rosenthal's passage.
Benefits from car bans are also discussed in Robert Duffer's passage called, ""Paris Bans Driving Due to Smog"". Paragraph #10 of this passage states, ""The smog cleared enough Monday for the ruling French party to rescind the ban..."", meaning that the amount of polluted air in the effected countries and cities went down to a controllable amount after the ban had taken place. Therefore, this passage is even more evidence that cars being eliminated from public use is a very good thing for the environment.
Eliminating, or at least cutting back on motorized transportation, would definately help a lot of damaged areas of the world.

7B4B54F34B04,"Mona Lisa's facial expressions were ""determined"" by the Facial Action Coding System. It determined that she was ""83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angery"" (D'Alto). This super high-tech machine can identify your emotions based on analyzing the muscles in your face. But is the technology really needed in classrooms?
The knowledge of emotional expressions to teachers can be very beneficial. Everyone knows that kids don't learn the same and keep up at the same pace. Teachers could use this for kids to know how comfortbale they are with the lesson. In the text it states, ""'A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored,' Dr. Huang predicts. 'Then it could modify the lesson like an effective human instructor'"" (D'Alto). This shows that FACS can help students who don't understand the lesson, by looking at their facial expressions, and changing the lesson to fit them.
Others would argue that facial expressions for every person and emotion are different. As the author pointed out in the text, ""The facial expressions for each emotion are universal"" (D'Alto), people will disbelieve because not every person shows the same emotion the same way. Some oppossers would argue that the addition of the system to education would drastically bring up the cost. Making schools more expensive and put schools at an advantage.
Although I agree with the fact that not every face makes the same expression,
FACS can identify the way the muscles move to indicate the emotion. In the text it states, ""This process begins when the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face; all 44 major muscles in the model must move like human muscles"" (D'Alto). This quote shows how the system works and to identify the muscle movement in your face. While, yes the cost of education will increase due to the addition of FACS, the benefits will outway the costs. Like any technological addition to schools, they use funds and sponsors to help pay for that stuff. Helping kids find a new way to learn and helping them succeed, seems a lot more important than costs.
In conclusion, the Facial Action Coding System will help teachers and students world wide succeed. When teachers know how to fix their lessons based on how their students learn, it makes the job easier for them and they get to see their students grow. Although the FACS was able to identify Mona Lisa's facial expressions, they can be used for so much more in the real world.

AC525B50F33C,"Before our students had smart boards, laptops, and phones, the classrooms they learned in consisted of a teacher, desks, and a chalk board. Technology is advancing at an astounding rate, so why not utilize it for our children's education? After all, distance learning offers more effective teaching, a more comfortable environment, and is more inexpensive and gives greater benefits to students.
More consistent and personalized education can be achieved through distance schooling. Because teachers can connect with students from anywhere, the number of teachers can increase to match the growing number of students. With fewer students per teacher, students will be able to receive higher quality, thorough answers with their questions. Furthermore, they can also receive more help on request. Tutors can be employed along with teachers through this system to help students after their lessons are over. Classes can be more easily rearranged, so students with greater potential can be moved to enrich their learning and facilitate their growth, while students at risk of failing can receive more detailed instruction and extra help.
Students are often more comfortable in their own homes. Pressure from their peers to fit in and from the school administration to perform is more tangible in a traditional setting, so online schooling will reduce the overwhelming forces of stress and depression. By removing the traditional classroom setting, they are less prone to stress inducing behaviors and situations like horseplay or teasing. Along this same line of reasoning, this also reduces the risk of bullying and harassment. Students are able to focus more on their learning and performance in class when they are not subject to bullies and their sycophants. There are also fewer negative influences on the behavior of these students. Gangs and drugs, while prohibited in schools and by the law, still proliferate in school settings despite our efforts to contain them. Without any physical way to indoctrinate students, gangs, and drugs with them, will eventually be evicted from schools.
On top of the behavioral and mental benefits of online schooling, the cost of its requirements are lower as a whole. Because there is no need to maintain a school building or buy paper and pens for their students every year, the funds previously used to upkeep these things can be redirected to benefits for the students. Although some may argue that students will lose some benefits, such as lunches, libraries, or counseling, these services will be able to transition online. Lunches can be delivered, libraries can offer e-books online, and counselors are just an email away. With an increasing number of schools offering a one-to-one laptop plan, these laptops can be upgraded with better hardware and data plans to handle online schooling, and then distributed to students. The price of a laptop is comparable to textbooks. However, laptops are multi-purpose. They can facilitate learning and research, and offer entertainment and fast communication. Schools are becoming more crowded as the number of students increase exponentially, and schooling from home will declutter these buildings. Both students and schools stand to benefit from this switch.
In the near future, many schools will have to renovate and expand to accept the perpetually growing number of students. But what happens after there is too much growth for the newly renovated school? The already dreary conditions students face in schools, low quality education, bullying and harassment, and mental health problems, will be compounded by the high number of students and lack of staff. By transitioning from traditional classrooms to online schools, students will reap the benefits. Online school is an clear upgrade from the classroom. There is no reason to not switch to distance schooling.",,601,Distance learning,Independent,Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing.

554CFA851155,"I think the states should have a vote on what the people want, either popular vote or electoral college. Popular vote would be the way to go for me because if it is electoral college you as a citizen arent actually voting you are picking certain people to vote for you. By popular vote it means you get to have your say, or one of your powers for being a citizen.
Electoral College is for the people that depend one higher level people to make the right decision for them instead of doing it themselfes. If you are a small state you dont have that much people going in for what your states want, like Rhode Island for example they only get around eleven through fourteen electoral votes for them. For a big state Like California they get fifthy-five electoral votes. Big difference right? Since the state of Florida a big we get twenty nine votes, Not that much right. Now if we do the popular vote way it only depends on how many people vote, if Rhode Island has 200,000 that vote they have a lot more say in the presidental election. What would you take?
Now since presidents only go to states they know they will win in, so if your state is small the better way to go is electoral since it doesnt matter. The state of Florida does matter because we are big so both presidents will try to win us over. In the end I think it would be a good idea if the state has a poll on which one will they choose, but it all depends on the state and the people.
We would all think that the state want to hear our opinion, but some arent like that. Now if a tie breaks out, which is slim, now that isnt in the hands of the people but the hands of the people in the House of Representives. The chance of having a tie is unusual but it can and will happen some time soon. If that happens the HOR must try to be far and not only pick in there bias but for the better for the community.

E1C63EC43E07,"The time for the automobile is slowly passing. More and more people prefer carpooling and walking then driving a car. Why is that? It could be due to the unemployment rate skyrocketing or less people wanting a car. There are many benefits to driving a car. Being able to get to point A to point B, faster travel time, and it is more private than a bus. But what are the downsides? Pollution, more antisocial humans, and the cacaphony of horns and engines. Giving up the car should be on every countries to-do list.
Some nations, such as Paris, France, find out about the downside of cars the hardway. Pollution is a very real problem in todays society. In 2014 the city had a near-record high of pollution, rivaling Beijing, China, the most polluted city in the world ( source 2). After debating, the French ruling party decided to ban driving for odd and even liscence plate numbers on opposite days until the smog count went down. It took five days, but they managed to have most of the smog cleared. Decisions like these cause controversy everywhere, but we have a responsibility to our planet not to destroy it with greenhouse gases.
In a suburb in Germany, they have a car-free neighborhood. They are allowed to own cars but it costs $40,000 and they can only park at the edge of the neighborhood. This alone caused 70% of the neighborhood to not own cars (source 1). A woman in Vauban,the neighborhood,said that not owning a car makes her less tense and more happy. With this you can conclude that most of her neighbors feel this way also, otherwise they wouldn't have moved there. Having less stressed people, less polluted ariways and less car accidents always sounds like a good solution to me.
In a city in Columbia they have a car-free day, where cars are banned from the city (source 3). Even though it was rainy it did not stop people from particapting at all. In fact, it has even spread across its borders. A businessman said this was a good way to lower stress aswell. Without cars, this city has seen more bikeway paths, parks and community centers being built and rush hour traffic being cut down dramtically. This new trend has promoted people to be more healthy and social. Not only has this affected the airs it has affected business. With more people walking, new resturants and shopping centers have cropped up. Having more and more people spending their money helps their nations economy in great ways.
After all this evidence the only conclusion we can come to is that having less cars would help humans immensly. Not only does it promote physical exercise but but cuts down on polution. Yes, it would have hurt car manufacturers but the businessmen don't exactly just lay down and take it. Bill Ford has already suggested working with the new trend (source 4). Without cars the obesity problem, especially in America, would decrease. As well as the number of asthmatic people.

1D7E734B4A3D,"Some Schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during the break.
Some may point out that since the students are the ones taking time out of their break to complete these assignments, they should be the ones designing them.
Others may argue that the teachers should design these projects.
Summer projects should be teacher-designed because the teachers will be the ones grading them, they will make sure that there is still an element of difficulty, and they know the content best.
One reason why summer projects should be teacher-designed is that the teachers will be the ones grading these projects.
Teachers spend hours or even days grading assignments.
If students designed the projects, it would be harder for teachers to determine what the grading rubric should include.
It should be up to them what they will be inevitably grading at the start of the school year.
Most teachers have new students every year.
If students designed these projects, they would be different every year.
This would lead to mistakes because the teacher would not be as familiar with the assignment.
Another reason why summer assignments should be teacher-designed is that they will make sure the project will still have an element of difficulty to it.
It is teachers' jobs as educators to continue create and assign projects that are challenging enough for the level that their students are at.
If students designed their projects, the projects would not be very difficult.
This would be because students generally prefer to spend their summers doing other things than homework.
If the assignments are not challenging, than the students are more likely to forget about it or not care about it.
The point of summer assignments is to keep the students engaged and learning throughout the break.
Teachers would make sure that the assignment is easy enough so students dont spend their entire summer stressing about it, but challenging enough so that the assignment is still effective.
The last reason why summer projects should be teacher-designed is that they know the content best.
The projects assigned are most likely for the class the students plan on taking the following school year.
For example, if a student is taking algebra 2 and plans to continue on to pre-calculus, the student doesnt know much about calculus yet.
That being said, how would a student design a project for a class they havent taken yet.
The students are there to learn and it is the teachers job to teach them.
The students should not, and could not, teach themselves the content required to know for the following year.
The only person who can properly prepare students for a class is the teacher themselves.
In conclusion, the summer projects that some schools require students to complete should be teacher-designed.
First, Teachers should be able to create what they will be grading.
Second, Teachers will also make sure that the projects are not just pointless busy work.
And last but not least, It is the teachers job to educate student on unfamiliar subjects.",,482,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

008015604AA0,"Distance learning provides an opportunity for students to learn from a comfortable space at home or on the go. Students who are unable, or not comfortable with traditional education in the classroom have a new alternative that gives them a chance that they have not had before. Students can learn more conveniently for their busy schedules from having to go to school, sports, and other extracurricular activities. This helps many who were originally not able to get an education due to the fact that a traditional classroom was unfit for them and their lifestyle. Distance learning provides students with a convenient learning pace, gets parents involved, and a flexible schedule.
Online schooling gives students the opportunity to learn at their own pace. Students who learn in the traditional classroom must learn at the pace at which the teacher has set and due to this some students are left behind and are unable to learn at that pace. With online schooling students get to set their own pace and are more comfortable with their learning experience. At the pace students have set for themselves this decreases the stress on the student and greatly improves their mental health. The improved mental health helps with many other things in the student's education such as behavior and exam scores.
A benefit of learning from home is the increased parent involvement. This benefits the student because if the student needs any help with their schoolwork they can go to a parent for help. With a flexible schedule the parent can help their child at anytime and it becomes much easier for parents to get involved in their child's education. This way the parents get to comprehend what their child is struggling to understand and they are in a better position to help them overcome the challenge. The student does not have to go through the struggles of learning on their own and the parent gets a better understanding of the child's learning capability and where their strengths and weaknesses are.
Although there are downsides to learning from home. While the students are home the opportunity to cheat is much higher since at home there are no teachers constantly monitoring the students work and progress. This creates a very big issue and students are more prone to looking up answers to an exam on another device. Schooling from home also causes the students to miss out on social interaction and the student is less likely to develop friendships and relationships. This takes a heavy toll on the students social and communication skills that will be needed later on.
Distance learning has many benefits such as flexible schedules and the opportunity to seek help from a parent or other family member. Although there are cons to online schooling the benefits greatly outweigh the cons that come with distance or online schooling. The mental health benefits alone are a great benefit that come with distance schooling. This way of learning has students learning in a place that the student is familiar with. learning in a familiar place reduces stress and greatly improves quiz and test scores.",,514,Distance learning,Independent,Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing.

7DCCED5150F8,"The Facial Action Coding system. It can read almost any face, and tell weither what emotion you have having. You could use this for many diffrent things such as; busting a crimanal, telling if a person around you acully is happy around you, or even if someone is lying to you. But one other important thing this technology can be used for is school.
Lets say you were at school and you were getting bullied or you werent having a good day. You are trying to hide your emotions but your quiet good at it. But the moment you sit down at a computer, it scans your face and it says that you are sad/depressed. The moment the computer reads your face it can alert the teacher and it can tell if the student is enjoying or disliking the class or school in general. Then, when the teacher knows his/her emoiton, he could ask the student why they are feeling this way and if they need to talk. It could make the students feel special and that they dont need to hide there emotions from people and can feel totally comfortable expressing themselves.
Even with that sanificant factor of helping children out with there emotions, there is also some cons about have this system. Facial Action Coding System could almost make the parents a bit worried about there children and be wondering would it could be doing. What if foreigner parties start to hack the system. There could be major problems such as; knowing who you are, having your facial ID, and a chance of getting captured. Some parents are really strict with their children not letting them show there face to a camera just because they are aware of the dangers that could happen.
Another con is that the system could malfunction. Since is sends the information and emotion to teacher/parents the teacher could get worried and ask why this student has this emotion but little do they know that there was wrong information sent. Lets say the student his sitting as his desk and the system scanned his face over a multitude of facial moment and it says your sad, but on the inside you are acually fairly happy. Then the teacher could ask you why he or she is sad, and would try to help him out. But little do they know is that he really happy and something went wrong with the system. It would be pointless, there would be no advantage in having this. It would take time out of your day and there could be a whole ordeal about weither your sad or happy.
But also the Facial Action Coding System could help us find out is is someone has cheated on a test, or is mad at another student. It can prevent many of dangerous thing from happening in the school such as a school shooting for example. If a student was angry 24/7 at school it could aller and worry the teachers that something drastic could happen and a gun could be pulled out. But you can prevent that from happening with the Facial Coding System, you could see that the student is mad all the time and the teachers could reach out and help the student before something drastic happens.
Over all I think it would be a great idea to have a system like this in our schools today because some people are really hurting on the inside, and sometimes us humans can not tell weither if the person is sad, mad, or happy. We could prevent self harm with this! We could stop many of things from happening in our schools today. I think every school should start to incorporate this system into there labtops and computers because it could really help a student out. We could make people the outcasts feel important for once. It would make there day knowing the fact that somone cares about them.
We could help a lot of things we do in school today, it was be a good benefit factor having this system in schools.

I do not think it would be a good idea for students to need a B average for sports.
If most students have a C average, then only A and B be students can play. It is reasonable to take away sports from students who have bad grades, but C students disserve to play too. I think it would be idea to lower the restrictions to a D grade average or lower. And that if a student makes up his or her F or D to a C average, then they should get to play. You may not agree but i assure students will work just as hard to get a C as they would for a B. Also students that want to go in activities will be restricted.

0F43EDB760C4,"I stand behind the development of driveless cars. I think they could be a great improvement to transportation and commute.
As Google cofounder Sergey Brin envisions in the article, there could be a public transportation system composed of driveless taxis that I think would be greatly beneficial as transportation. They would conserve fuel, which is good for the environment, and offer more flexibility for people who need to commute. Plus, if this system is made true as a public transportation system, it might reduce spending for people who use it and normally might spend more paying for fuel for their car, and/or car maintenance. People spend a lot on making sure their cars are working fine; with driveless taxis as a mode of transportation, you wouldn't have to worry about mechanic and/or fuel costs. A driveless taxi system could be dependable enought that you wouldn't even have to learn to drive or get a car, which could save you not only the cost of a car, but also time.
Driveless cars could also reduce accidents. Currently, they're only programmed mainly to assist, and do basic driving, letting a human cut in when there are road or traffic issues and accidents. But, if one day, driveless cars were to be the main mode of transportation, and there were enough of them in circulation within an area, they could reduce accidents in that area with their smart-driving programming. Just assisting, as they mainly do now, is still a great improvement
- they're programmed to drive safely and smartly, and likely would not be the cause or part of an accident. Current traffic laws assume that the only safe cars have human drivers, but I think driveless cars could be entrusted with keeping safety standards for these reasons. After all, it's humans that cause accidents - I don't think driveless cars could be programmed to be so reckless.

C479AE35C5A2,"Dear Principal
Now i know that you are suppose to be overseeing that we obtain a great education. I also know that you think that we should give our full attention to teachers. The only problem is many students complain that their learning gets dry and boring and they need a little bit of excitement in their learning to stay focused. So why not let us use our phones during times when we aren't listening to a teacher! To me i really don't see a big problem with letting us use our phones in hall-ways or on our free periods of time. One good reason i can think of, of letting us have our phones is, what if we just got out of math class and we just learned something new? When we got out of class though we started to lose bits and pieces of the information you just learned, so why not text your friends tips and questions you can use to keep that information in your mind.
Another reason i think we should be aloud to have phones is to loosen our minds if it's tense! Let's say you just got out of one of your classes and had an extremely hard test, and you want to open up your mind a little to let go of some of the stress from that test. Well maybe you need to talk to someone that's on the other half of the school but your next class is on a different half from that person. You can't speak to them physically unless you want to be late, but if you have your cellular device you can communicate with them and that might just help ease your nerves for the next period.
A last reason that i personally think is the most important reason to have a phone at school is for safety/issues. Let's say you have try-outs for a sport and the coach says your ride has to pick you up by a certain time. You forget to let your parents or whoever is picking you up what time they have to be at the school, well if you have your phone you could always call/text that person and your situation may be resolved. Now let's say your at school and a intruder invades the school and the school resource officer is no where to be found! What do you do? Here's a suggestion, ""call"" someone to help, You never know what could happen to you so why take the chance of not having a method of communication to help you out?

4E078101C9DD,"Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning. Should these projects be teacher-designed or student-designed? I believe these summer projects should be student-designed and not teachers. How would the students enjoy their summer and knowing that they got projects that is due before school starts again. If we call it summer break then the students shouldn't get any summer projects thats gonna ruin the break for them. Let them enjoy their summer break. I understand where they teachers are coming from and trying to assign the students these summer projects and making sure they are ready for their upcoming classes.
I choose for it to be student-designed, because the students already have 10 months of school that they do projects and assignments that stresses them out already. If a student wants to continue learning during summer then he can do summer school or online classes that'll help him continue his learning and staying on task. Students shouldn't get summer projects assigned to them during their break. For; example, how would they enjoy their summer break with their families, if they stressing about finishing the summer projects instead of relaxing their minds and spending time with family.
Summer projects are beneficial for students. At the same time it all depends on what classes you are taking next year. If you want to challenge yourself and take hard classes then be prepared to get summer projects to get you ready for your classes. School work and projects already causes enough stress for the students in general during school year, but getting summer projects doubles it up. Summer projects will take the fun away from summer and it wont be the same for the students. Students won't have as much time as they want to do what they want in summer, they would be stressing about something that they shouldn't be. They wouldn't get the point of what summer break is actually for.
I do understand why teachers believe that summer projects would help students continue learning. Summer projects does help students stay on task and busy and prepare them for their upcoming classes. Summer projects are beneficial but students don't understand that. The students been in school for so long that at this point they just want summer break to come. Summer is time where the students can relax their minds and be stress free for little. You also gotta understand that some students don't have the time for it. For; example, there are students that play summer sports, there are students that work in summer to provide money for them self or help their families out. How would they do that knowing they got summer projects due and stress about not having enough time to do it.

I believe that summer projects should be student-designed and not teachers. It should depend on what the student want for himself not what the teacher wants.

43725C5F910C,"Just a few months ago I applied to three boarding schools. Last week I heard back from them, I got rejected from one, accepted to another and wait-listed at my favorite. I was supposed to get back to all of them with an answer within 48 hours. This meant I had a decision to make, one that would shape my life for the next four years. I went over the pros and cons of every decision I could possibly make and I just kept circling. I reached out to my friend Generic_Name and I spent an hour talking with her about what decision I should make. We landed on the safe decision of saying yes to the school I was accepted to. I still felt uneasy about this decision, I wan't sure if that was what I wanted. I talked to my mom and she reminded me that I wouldn't really be happy at that school, it wasn't the best fit for me. I still felt that I was fairly uninformed so I sought more help, I talked to my guidance counselor who reminded me that most wait listed students do get in. She also reminded me that this was my education and I deserved to be at a school I felt comfortable learning in. I decided to say yes to my favorite school. I came to that conclusion only because of all of the people I had talked to and the perspectives I had heard. It was easier to make a decision after talking to multiple people.
Everyone lives a different life, acquires different wisdom, and has a different point of view on every subject. No two, three, or four people are going to think the same on every debatable issue. When it comes time that you need advice, you should talk to two, three, or four people who know you well or have gone through the same thing you are going through. Each one of them will bring something different to the table. You might not agree with all of them, and that is a part of the process. You can listen to everyone's ideas and insights and narrow your options down to what is best for you. You might even find out other options are available. But, no matter what conclusion you come to, the more people you talk to, the more confident you will be in your decision.
We often seek advice from others before making big decisions. To make these decisions it is important that we are informed. Talking to multiple people is also a great way to become more informed about your situation. When you talk to people who may have experienced something similar, you acquire more information and insight to help you make a decision. Imagine that you needed help picking a new house for your family, you might talk to your best friend who would suggest to biggest one, but your mom might suggest the smallest one, less to clean, and another parent might suggest to middle one because your kids need space. Everyone thinks differently, all of these thoughts together can help you make the smartest choice. Notice how when scientists or researchers conduct their studies, they use multiple people rather than just one. That is because they recognize to importance of gaining information from more that just one person. You can feel better about your decision if you know you were informed about it first.
When asking for advice, it is important to talk to multiple people and hear multiple opinions. This will make you more informed about the choice you are going to make. When you are informed, you are likely to make the best choice. Talking to multiple people has helped me to make decisions about my life and particularly my new school. While I have mostly just mentioned big life decisions, it doesn't mean that you have to limit this process to life changing decisions. In everything that you do, talk to multiple people, listen to their ideas, and become more informed.

20141DCB5346,"I believe school summer projects should be student-designed. Student-designed projects will help a student express their creativity, it will be less complicated, and it will let them learn about a topic they are interested in. If the project is student-designed, it is most likely for them to keep up with it and not set it aside. Students should be trusted to build something on what they learned on their own.
Even though not all students come up with astonishing ideas, all of them have the capacity to be creative. Creativity is important when it comes to projects. It helps a project look presentable, it also helps the audience gain interest. Students can let their imagination discover more ideas when a project is not teacher-designed because their options are not limited. Not only will it be more exciting to do a project, but it will increase students' grade by showing their creativity.
A student-designed project will relieve stress from students by being able to create whatever they please. Instead of having to assemble something difficult given by a teacher, a student will choose an easier option for themselves, so they will not build up pressure. Since they will most likely pick a non difficult idea, they can complete their project faster. Therefore, students will enjoy their summer break more.
Furthermore, most students will choose an option they are intrigued in, which makes a project become more interesting. Students will pick one out of a variety that they enjoy; they will stay on task. For example, the more engaged the students are to their project the more it will help them stay focused. When they pick a topic they like, the project becomes more simple to make because it is genuine or sincere.
Given all these points, summer projects should be designed by students. It will make it more easier for the students to work on and more interesting for the teacher to read. All of the students' creativity and engagement in the project can lead to positive outcomes. Students should enjoy their summer break while creating an incredible project they love.

1F25E363B7CC,"Dear Principal ,
I strongly believe that cell phones should be permitted at school . We should be aloud to use them during lunch periods and other free times we have as long as they are off during the class period. This is why i believe cell phones should be allowed at school.
Lots of students need their cell phones during the school day. For example, there might be an emergency going on and the student needs to call a parent. If cell phones were not permitted they might not be able to contact their parent and they could be in a lot of trouble. Also by having a cell phone with them it would be much easier to step outside of the classroom to contact someone instead of having to use the office phone or the teachers phone. Cell phones are great to have at school because lots of students at school need them through out the school day and if they didn't have them it might make their day a lot more complicated and stressful. Although you may think that if phones are allowed at school, students might be texting during class, you can make sure that all phones are off during the class period and may be turned on when the class period is over. If a student is caught disobeying the rules their phone should be taken away and given back at the end of the day.
In conclusion, please read this carefully and put in lots of thought to my ideas that we should be aloud to have our cell phones at school as long as there are rules to go along with that policy. Are students here at school are very responsible and I know that if we have this rule it can make our day here at school better for everyone!",,305,Cell phones at school,Independent,"Your principal is reconsidering the school's cell phone policy.

E41069F5273A,"Many schools around the world provide students with the option of attending a class through a video call or online.
Some people might argue that students would not benefit from being able to attend classes at home, however it is clear for many reasons that being able to attend a class from home is indeed very beneficial for students
Personally I see this way of learning beneficial because of times I was not able to attend school. I had gotten sick about a week ago and missed two days of school. This resulted in me missing out on eight class periods and stressing out over the work I had to make up. If the school I attend had a means of learning from home, such as online classes or video conferences, It would have made the situation much easier for me and many other students who I am sure have been in the same situation.
On top of that, having online classes would also most likely result in a shorter school year. Some days a school is required to close for the safety of its students. This results in thousands of students missing out on their education for possibly weeks at a time, because of this the school has to extend the school year in order to make up those missed day. A perfect example of a school properly prepare to close would be what Generic_School is doing right now. Although they do not offer online classes in place of regular ones they are preparing to do so in response the corona virus. This means if the schools have to close students will not miss out on valuable information.
Still some might argue against the implication of online courses in schools. They view learning from home in a negative light because it takes away from the experience of working with other students, however this is not the case. With modern technology there are countless ways for students to communicate and work together to solve problems.
There are many examples that would show how students would benefit from being able to attend classes at home.

AAFA0B9080C0,"Students take their summer break to relax and have fun, but others will have a few projects to complete before school starts again. Many schools in the country will require students to complete summer projects, they want to ensure that students are still learning over break. I believe that these summer projects should be student designed because it allows them to be creative, they can pick topics they are interested in, and do the project how they would like.
Having students design their projects will allow them to be creative, many students would not enjoy the project as much if the teacher has a set design on how the project will be. Students would not be eager to do it and delay the assignment waiting till last minute to start it; allowing them to have full creative ability will produce incredible work. Students can express artistic ability with their work allowing them to draw pictures, use different mediums, lavish colors, and think of creative designs. Just giving them that freedom could make the assignment exciting instead of feeling like a chore they are forced to do.
Students can pick topics they are interested in allowing them to enjoy the project. If the teacher assigns a topic students are not interested in, it would not be an enjoyable time. The students would not be motivated to do research on the topic, they would push off on the assignment, and be completely unaware of important facts in their topic. By allowing them to chose any topic it would make learning fun, a student can be fascinated by a topic but never had the opportunity to thoroughly research it and this would be the chance. The research they would do may mean a lot to them, it could be a future occupation they want to be helping them learn the requirements needed for specific facilities, schools, and how much money they would make. It could also allow for students to be informed on a topic they do not know much about and would like to be knowledgeable in a certain field. Having students chose would be an incredible opportunity to learn.
Lastly, students are able to do the projects how they would like to do it. Having the teacher decide how the project will be set up may be underwhelming for students or difficult to set up. By allowing them to chose how to do their project will result in creative ideas and make the project less difficult. Some students may want to do something else than a regular PowerPoint, they could make a book filled with all the information needed and they can draw pictures. Maybe they want to do videography, they could film a music video or a short film with a script and actors. Also by allowing them to chose it could create less pressure for the students, there are many sites that have layouts and videos guiding them with their project. If they are not able to do it how the teacher wants it they cannot ask them for help they are over break and could not have the teacher's contact information.
The summer projects are a great way to assure students are still learning over break but allowing the students to design their projects would be an incredible opportunity for them to be creative, pick topics they are interested in, and do the project how they would like. I believe this would be a good opportunity for schools and students to keep learning even over their break and encourage them to always be knowledgeable ",,612,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

85FBDED26DCC,"The use of the technolodgy to determine if you are happy or not is very valuable. The device can help with many things student have problems with. The people would use the device to even improve upon things they would deal with. Overall the FACS (Facial Asction Coding System) would be more of a help if looked upon the right way. It will help teachers and guidance counselors, help so students will know what to say, even just help like how to improve upon just getting along.
First off, Guidance counselors can use the machine for many things. If people were sad of angry they can help out more effectively if the counselor not sure on how the person feels. Since the passage said that,"" By weighting different units, the software can even identify mixed feelings."" This means if they were overall sad counselors can help or if they were more angry. Teachers can use this to figure out if the student wants to be bothered or not that day so they will not call on them.
Next situation the FACS can be useful for if just student to student conversation. Some students may have a hard time trying to make friends if they do not know how other students feel. Some can be really angry or others just too sad to be talked to. Even the passage supports this by saying that,"" You can probably tell how a friend is feeling by the look on her face. Of course, most of us have trouble actually describing each facial trait that conveys happy."" So using the machine will help in describing if the person is having one emotion more than other emotions.
Thirdly the machine would just be a overall improvement for getting along. If people could understand how someone else felt would they just be able to connect with them better. People could have empathy for others because they knew how they feel and it would help improve upon that other person feelings. People could then cheer them up to make them smile and that smile might put them in a better mood. The passage also stated this by saying,""According to the Facial Feedback Theory of Emotion, moving your facial muscles not only expresses emotions, but may also help produce them."" So understanding how someone may feel and make them happy can just make the overall feeling of the enviroment feel good.
Finally to just state if it a good idea to have a machine like this then its a obviously yes. Since they positive effects on people can help like students having a hard time and people will know what they are feeling. The boost of happiness of people would also take place in the area. There might even be less chances of fighting if someone angry and someone can finally know if they were and calm them down if they could.

I don't think that is fair to students because some people want to keep their emotions to theirselves. There are many reasons people want to keep their emotions to themselves.

I think if there was technology reading your emotional expressions,it would distract students from learning and getting good grades.

Some kids might get to focused on the computer reading their emotions or get too worried that the computer is going to share their emotions to other people on the internet.

524CC4D3EEA3,"Studies show that student's learn better when they are given hands-on interactive learning techniques rather than listening to an instructor speak for hours on end. Students should be able to create their own summer projects because it is allowing them to learn at their own pace and structure an assignment to where they better understand it. By being able to design an assignment, the students are excersising leadership skills. In doing so, the student can know what it's like to take charge and learn to be proactive in their own learning. Not only is designing a project a way to show leadership, it also shows students that learning isn't all about textbook's, and test's, and assignment's, but that learning could be a fun thing to do once anyone put's their mind to it. It's a way to show what really help's an individual turn something they don't know about into something fun and intersting. As a student, designing a project is agood way to express team work and building skills. Working with others on any given task allows for one to better prepare themselves for the workforce and develop proffesionalism around certain groups of people. Allowing students to take a leading role in their education is allowing them to take charge in their own future. It's showing them that this is all in their hearts and that with hardwork, determination, and leadership, any task can be accomplished.
Allowing students to design their own summer assignment is giving them a chance to learn real world leadership skills. It's best to teach students from their young adolescent stages to be a leader bevause it helps them develop a sense of confidence and trust in what they do or who they want to become. Students are still like sponges in these stages so it would be helpful to show them these real world skills. These assignments are a great way to excersize good learning techniques as well.
Student's can take this opportunity to learn new ways to make learning fun. Staring at a board, listening to a teacher talk all day won't help unless the student is able to actually see and do what they have been tought. When someone actually knows what they are doing wrong and a different way to improve, they can become better at the activity they are trying to complete. Allowing for students to work on their own assignement together is also helpful in their lives later on.
Giving student's a chance to work together and build a project is a good way to teach kids how to cooporate with others later on in life. Team work and building is a skill most jobs look for when hiring employees. When students are allowed to work together, they can learn ways to interact with others in an appropriate and proffesional manor that would be applauded in the workforce.
Though student's should have this be their own independent assignment, it's also good for a teacher to guide them in the right direction. Without teachers, the world wouldn't be a bright plave and it's important to listen to them and trust that they guide us to do the right thing when it comes to working with others and life in general.

Why would you want to have your phone out driving in a moving car? Pretty smart. Wrong making your way around places without using your phone maybe you need to use a GPS of some kind. That's ok but just to sit there talk on the phone while driving even or texting/on ft. Not very smart for many people a lot of accidents happened from texting and driving or just having to look at your phone period. Cell phones are perhaps the single best technological item for the average person. While they serve a purpose of connecting us to social networks, the question must be raised as the overall impact of cell phones. Due to crime rate. Currently when so many people use them, cell phones are bound to influence daily life, even on things like crime. Due to increasing crime rates caused by the U.S. economy.
Addition to a lot of crime rates and ascendants being more safe than sorry is the best way to go if you ask me. I tell my mom a text can wait when driving it's our beautiful lives at stake every time we get in people drive over the speed limit and everything do not care this world is always in a rush for work or school or something they must get to on time people take their time sometimes and be very cautions we shouldn't have to. Everyone loves driving quicker transportation than anything to get to one side of town to the nest in like 15 mins. Just drive safe all the time everyday all day the sake of children for the sake of your own being.
Did you know in 2011, 9878 people were victims of drunk drivers? It's not fair kids have to suffer from their parents or their friends are trying to drive drunk with them in the car and not drive safe drive to fast or not paying attention to what they are doing. It is not their fault they suffer from that god looked over them kids but lord and or savor cannot help that the people still drive under the influence. Just lie saying in a text ""you want to go to the bar"" after you sent that BAM you ran a red light and crashed into sum one that was doing their job fine. But you had to send that little text message quick and all that other person on the other line were going to say a simple yes or no. Being better safe than ever with anything you put your mind too.
Although smart phones are fun and magical they are dangerous too especially in the car. Not knowing your surroundings because you're on the phone and driving could cause multiple problems for yourself and other be careful when driving. Also having kids with you may be the most important of all. Drive safe no one wants to be injured in car recs and accidents at all read the handbook.
Doesn't matter who you are always be there for sum body in the need in help god and Jesus lets us live on this world for a reason babies being created every day. People making mistakes everyday not knowing what they are doing be a leader not a follower always stands up for sum body in need of help. hurricanes wiping out houses and pushes cars away be careful and considerate.

7EDE41ECEBD0,"I believe that students would benefit from being able to attend classes from home. Every student has their own way of learning to finish their goals in life. That means enrolling in online classes might be the best option for their future. Online or long distance learning would benefit kids because it is very flexible, can be used everywhere, and creates fewer chances of bullying or unwanted peer pressure.
Not all families are fortunate enough to send all their kids to school everyday. Some teenagers might have to work instead of schooling just to help their families survive. Online classes can be done at anytime of the day and can even be pushed back to compensate for lost time. This would help students all around the world learn, study, and become the type of person they want to be later on in life. Letting the next generation be smarter and stronger will create new opportunities for generations after that and so on.
In some areas, schools are very far apart from one another and students have to travel far distances in order to attend them. In more rural places, kids have to walk to and back from school. To combat this, online classes would diminish the trek and let students work from anywhere they please. This would not only benefit the students, but also ease the minds of all the people that care for the student's safety. If more kids could be able to learn about modern day problems and solutions, the world would become a better place.
Many kids suffer from bullying in school, and they have to put up with it because they can't just walk out of school anytime they want. This leads to depression and anxiety later on in life. Millions of teenagers these days have to deal with the terrible parts of the day just to be able to learn and have a chance at a brighter future. If some kids that suffer from this took classes online where they feel safe and secure, the chance of experiencing depression or overall sadness wouldn't be affecting them as much. I believe if this was possible for all students, that the rate of high school dropouts would decline and the number of high school graduates would be exponentially higher.
Even though some kids might not have the chance or ability to take classes at home, I strongly agree that taking online school would benefit the masses. I have not only seen it my life, but I have heard that many people love online schools. Being able to take online classes or video conferencing would be positive for students because of its ability for them to choose the time of which they learn, place of where the want to learn, and who they want to learn with. Sure this might be a challenge for some kids or parents, but the benefits out weigh the consequences a hundred times over.

C57EBACC6802,"""Sorry Generic_Name, I wont be able to go to the concert, I have to finish doing the summer reading project and its due by next week."" Imagine having to do a summer project on a beautiful sunny day,I know it seems horrible. Most of us can agree that summer projects have interrupted something pretty interesting. When it happens to me it makes me feel like a flower in need of water, all sad and gloomy. ""Why do we have to read out of this list all these books, they are all
BORING."" Generic_Name exclaimed. Its always hard to understand why we need to read out of a curtain list and have so much requirements .But we can only imagine how much of a ciaos it would be if everyone was to pick a different level of books ,some challenging and some below their standard level of reading. Although students can make a project of their own its always better to have something organized by a teacher ,in my opinion it sets a more serious setting in the students minds. I believe that teachers should design the summer reading project because it avoids confusion,is more organized and it shows the way the class will be taught in the upcoming year.
In our lives most of us can agree that we have a felt some sort of confusion while completing a task. Thats the reason why I believe teachers should design the summer project that way Its simply to avoid confusion. We all know teachers have more experience in making things sound a lot more simple. They could make a confusing paper full of instructions very simple for students to understand. Students could always contact them via email or by Google classroom for more clarification. As a student I have been stuck and confused many times and by experience I can say that contacting a teacher always helps me. For example last summer I didn't understand what types of connections I had to make in relation to the book that was assigned to me. In that moment,I thought to ask the person who assigned the assignment , I quickly sent my teacher an email and she replied with a more clear and helpful paragraph.
Another reason why I agree that teachers should design the project is because everything would be more organized. Although students could make the assignment a lot more fun I believe it would not be organized .Teachers could make a packet and ask for specific things that are more beneficial for students to look over. Some of those things could be main topics that will be taught during the year. Since a teacher is far more experienced then a student at knowing methods to reach success, teachers could design the project to be more efficient for the students learning. That could mean picking from a curtain verity of books ,the type of genre, or the type of reflections that the teacher wants the class to focus on.
Summer projects can always be a good way to dive in to the new school year .With a summer project many things can be set clear, Like the way the class will be taught. This way the student can realize and understand if they will be struggling and that also makes it clear to the students on what they need to focus on studying. Its basically a good way to introduce the class to things they will be taught during the year. Although teachers are good at making a very well strong structured project students could make the project a little more fun and interesting. Its always fun to see the creations that students have in mind. Instead of having a boring lesson a student could have a way to reach the attention of the students. Overall Making the class be more engaged in what they must learn to be successful.
Many teachers often find summer as a break line in the students learning. Here in Virginia the summer vacation is about 3 months without the teachers assigning a project the students would not mind touching a book. Summer projects are really not for the teachers sake its for the good of the students. I believe teachers should design the project because its a way of keeping things organized ,and structured in a way that is not only beneficial to the teachers but also beneficial for the students.

2BEB2656C8B4,"Community service. A benefit of students or a benefit for the school-board and government? Opinions may differ on making community service mandatory. However, in my opinion I believe when a student is credited with schools by serving for his or her community it is something that should be mandatory. This is because I believe, it will open doors for students who need a better image to the school of their choice, it can help their community be a better place for them, and others, and last, I believe it gives a chance for a student to organize their time and make their time better planned if not already planned. Although my belief is that, yes indeed it should be mandatory, at the same time I believe it cannot place a student in a type of lock from a personal life.
The opportunities for helping others is endless. School that look at community service hours can look at a student that has contributed to helping their community and see a student with a good image to helping their community. For example, a school that may require a student to have a certain amount of hours of community service can allow a student to have that requirement addressed because the community service was mandatory anyways. A student can have a good image to applying to a school and will have a good deed done to their community.
Helping a community although seeming dull or as an unrewarding task can help a student or person make a better place for which they live in. A student can be helping the place they live in become a better place. They can, in an example, show others that planting trees or cleaning litter can make their community a better place to live in and look at. Helping a community that one resides in can make a person happier about living in that place and happy about the idea that they have contributed to their community. It can also help a person's course in life.
A person can organize their time better when they are put in a situation that can change their life style. For example, with the mandate of community hours being served a person can be self educated on how to organize their time better. When a person has nothing to do at all they may give that time to a better cause, this being, community service.
A person may want to do other activities but they may not contribute to their lives very well. Community service can give a person the effort they need to be person that is well organized and that can have a good time doing so. Helping others is rewarding and the individual doing this just cause can raise the level of integrity.
Committing an action that is mandatory is something to get used to. The students that are mandated to do community service may get used to doing this service anyways and may start to enjoy it especially to do this action with friends. The opportunities, helping others and becoming a better person all seem as nice rewards from doing community service; and even so mandated, these rewards can still exist.",,529,Community service,Independent,"Some of your friends perform community service.

A6DC0CDD409F,"Teachers, have you ever wondered what your students are thinking when you're teaching them something confusing? Well, with this new technology, you can at least know their emotions. In my essay I will be providing proof of how using this new technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is valuable.
The use of this software could be helpful in a classroom because it could help the teachers know when their students are confused about something they're teaching so they could improve the way they teach. In the text, Dr. Huang predicts that, ""a classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored"" (pargraph 6). The text also states that, ""then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor"" (paragraph 6). These quotes show how this new software could help an instructor/teacher know when their students are confused or bored and how knowing this information could make them a better teacher.
Secondly, this new technology could be helpful because it could strengthen the relationship between student and teacher without any words being spoken. In the text it says, ""most human communciation is nonverbal, including emotional communication"" (paragraph 6). The text also states that ""they even indicate the difference between a genuine smile and a forced one"" (paragraph 7). These quotes show how this software could help a teacher better understand their students emotions when their giving a fake smile maybe around a bully or harasser even when there are no words being spoken between them.
Lastly, the technology is valuable in a classroom because it identifies all different types of emotions and muscular movements so teachers understand their students feelings a lot better than they would without the software. In the article it states, ""the process begins when the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face; all 44 major muscles in the model must move like human muscles"" (paragraph 3). The article also states. ""Eckman has classified six basic emotions- [programmed into the software] happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness- and then associated each with characteristic movements of the facial muscles"" (paragraph 3). These quotes show how different types of muscles in your face are used in this software to identify emotions to create a better understanding of students feelings about their peers, work, or teachers.
To conclude, this software could be very valuable at a school where children are being bullied because some students are afraid to say they are going to school in fear, or even at a regular school where some students are confused about their school work and don't want to speak up. If you are an administrator reading this, think about all of the reasons why I believe that this technology could be useful in a classroom and then think about all of the students in your school who could either be too afraid to speak up about being bullied, or that are too afraid to ask their teachers for help and will never know how to do something until they finally gather up enough courage to ask. These things are actual problems that need to be addressed and there's finally something that can identify emotions and feelings about these types of problems.",,535,Facial action coding system,Text dependent,"In the article ""Making Mona Lisa Smile,"" the author describes how a new technology called the Facial Action Coding System enables computers to identify human emotions.

68BD4DA6AB9A,"Dear Florida Senator,
We should not use the Electoral College, because it causes confusion and mostly anger. Sometimes when the Electoral College elects one canidate, even though he got less popular votes, he can screw up the whole system.
Some people do not understand how the Electoral College works, and they become confused as to how the canidate with the least amount of popular votes could become president.
Most people get angry and then the crime count rises, because some people absolutely do not want a certain canidate to become presdient, because of the things they were told, and that they researched about the canidate. When the canidate they voted for doesn't win the election even though they had the most popular votes, they go on a rampage, and do things that they wouldn't normally do, out of anger, because some people are extremely political, and they cannot help but to start problems in their community.
For example, many people think that Barrack Obama in screwing up the American unity and way of life. Like trying to ban guns, which are legally gufted to us under the 2nd Amendmant of the Constitution.

FDFEDB4A87C9,"The challenge of Exploring Venus
The author supports the idea that studing Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers because Venus has the hottest surface temperature, espacially since its closer to the sun . They even had issues not having a single spaceship touch on Venus in three decades. So they didn't really had a lot of informaion, for example in the essay it says,""Each previos mission was unmanned, and for good reason, since no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours"". This lets me know that if a spacecraft didnt survive imagine a human, what would happen to a human ? But we will see how things got better over time!
We start of with something really interesting about Venus that it has a surface of rocky sediment and it also includes familiar features such as velleys, mountains, and craters ! I think that this fact is really cool knowing that another planet has mountains and rocks like the earth. But the author thinks that it does not have easy conditions, but survivable for humans. When time passes by we could add more things and enough to survive.
Although the technology has upgraded a lot so the NASA'S think that they might have the possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus. Imagine them creating a vehicle hovering 30 miles or more in the landscpae. But not only that but the solar power would be plentiful, it wont be easy but they say its going to be survival enough for humans! Know we have even better technology then three decades ago, they created a simplified electronics made of silicon, which has been in Venus surface about three weeks in such good conditions. Unbelievable its been there almost about a week back then it would only last about few hours!
Not only that but they also have another project just incase, you cant never go wrong with plan B. They're plan B is looking back to an old technology called ""Mechanical computers"". Since now days the devices are more delicated when it comes to extreme physical conditions. It would be so harsh the devices now days wont even make far enough as the mechanical computers.

You like this idea because it will allow students to have something to do after school, it will get rid of some stress for student, and it will make the student more responsible.
It will allow students to have something to do after school whether that be sports, band, yearbook, or even student council. If they do not do any extracurricular activity, what are they going to do. Either play video games or do stuff with their friends that they should not be doing. If every student does an extracurricular activity then they will have something other to do that sit on their couch watching TV and playing video games.
Doing an extracurricular activity will get rid of some stress for some students. Whether they are stressed about homework, family, or friends, doing an extracurricular activity will make the stress go away for some students. If you do an extracurricular activity it will make it easier for the student because it allows them to let it all out. You could even practice when you are stressed even if it is just getting up and practicing your extracurricular activity.
Making you responsible inside and outside of school. Now at my school if you do not have good grades you can not play the next game. So if students were to participate in an extracurricular activity it would make them want to do their homework so that they can play in their next game or so. It will even make you responsible in your own home by making you want to do your chores so that your parents won't make you sit out your next game. So by being in an extracurricular activity it will make student more responsible.
So yes I do agree that all students should participate in at least one extracurricular activity because it will allow then to have something to do after school, getting rid of stress for some of the students, and being responsible inside and outside of school. I wish that all school would do this for those reasons.

1CC9DABCE4B4,"A new piece of technology, the Facial Action Coding System, has been developed and is helping with the learning the emotions of others. Some may say that this technology should not be used in classrooms because it invades the students' privacy. However, finding the emotions of students in classrooms could help teachers with what kind of lessons to prepare and finding out potemial problems that students had. The ability to read the emotions of students in classrooms could be extremely valuable.
Some may argue that having the emotions of students read in class would be a bad idea. If the school could find out what their students were feeling with a computer program, the students may be unhappy with the idea that their school was observing their feeling. In paragraph 8 of the article, the author states, ""faces don't lie"". If teachers used this technology, they could know the emotions of students even if students tried to hide it. In this way, students could feel as though the school is invading their privacy by finding out emotions that they want to keep hidden. Their emotions can be tied to their thoughts. In most cases, people consider their no one else should be able to know their thoughts and emotions without the person's consent. Some argue that reading the emotions of others will be an invasion of privacy.
Teachers using the knowledge of students' emotions could be helpful in a classroom. If teachers know how students are reacting to different assignments, they could alter the worksheets to make the students more interested and understand what they are learning better. Also, if a computer can understand the emotions of children that are using it, the computer can change the material to aid in the learning. The article states, ""a classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored"" and ""it could modify the lesson"". Teachers being able to help students better understand what they are being taught is just one of many benefits to using the Facial Action Coding System in classrooms.
The knowledge of students' emotions could be beneficial to schools. If teachers could figure out the emotions of students, they teachers could potentially find and help students that are suffering with problems. The author states, ""faces don't lie"". Knowing what is truely going on with students by using this program could help the teacher recognize if a student is struggling with anxiety or stress. Students with anxiety and stress could potentially have suicidal thoughts or actions. By identifying this problem, teachers could get help for the student and help prevent the death of an innocent life. The article also states, "" moving your facial muscles not only expresses emotions, but also may even help produce them"". The teachers could additionally do exercises with students to reduce their stress levels. The technologies like the Facial Action Coding System could help teachers know about students' anxiety and prevent harm to the students.
Though some say there could be several issues with using technology to read emotions in classrooms, there are many more benefits than issues. The system could modify the learning style to one that suits the individual student and could help teachers learn of problems the student has.

D1FBC3B9A8A4,"To Principal,
I think that community service is not a waste of time, because people care about where they live. They want to keep it clean so that when family and relatives come over and visit they might want to stay a little bit longer because parts of the city is so clean. Also, it gives a good reputation to the city. Then big time celebrities would want to stay in the city for a little bit if they have a concert or something like that. Community service is a good idea because it makes you feel better about yourself when you go somewhere and you see that the city is all clean. Also if kids do community service then they will also have a good reputation, because you will be one of the kids that helped make the city look good. Other kids don't want to do community service because they think it is a waste of time. They would rather sit on the couch every day eating potato chips and watching T.V instead of going outside and working and helping your community. Community service can build friendships and help bond with your family and spend time with them more.
But instead of making all the students do community service, you should make it were you give kids do community service for extra credit for some of their classes that their struggling with. That will help them a lot. But some kids think that it is just a waste of time and they say that they have more important things to do. Also I think that we need to start a community garden.

ABD3B53BC183,"When someone says the word summer, people don't generally think about classrooms, or tardy bells, or chalkboards. Rather, about freedom from all of those things. Summer is a much needed break from the stressful conditions of school, however, whenever summer is ending and it's time to start heading back to school, students sometimes find themselves forgetting most of what they learned the year before. Some schools are requiring students to complete projects over the summer to ensure that they keep learning outside of the classroom, and to keep what they have learned the year before, fresh in their minds. These projects should be student-designed because summer should not be a continuation of school, students are more likely to do a project if they get to choose what it is, and it gives students the opportunity to excel and be given more trust.
Summer is the time of year where students generally feel stress-free. There's no due dates, and no pressing homework. If these mandatory projects were teacher-designed, summer would feel more like school, and then students would have a bad connotation with the word summer. Sometimes people brush under the rug how stressful school can actually be to students, and summer is a much needed break. Though students do need to continue learning, it would be hard for a teacher to assign a project that fit everyone's specific needs and was appropriate for all students outside of the classroom. Summer break was installed for a reason, because if students go to school for 12 months, they'll more than likely get burnt out and will lose the motivation to learn. If students are allowed to design their own projects, they won't see it as school, but as fun.
Students-no matter what age; kids, pre-teens, teenagers- haven't fully developed yet. They don't know who they are, or what they want, or what they believe in, because all they've known is their parents and the little bubble they live in for the first 18 years of their life. They try to find themselves everyday, they try to discover what their identity is. If students were able to design their own over the summer projects, they would be more likely to do it. There comes a point during childhood when people start to question authority, and start to become rebellious because they think they know what's best for themselves. At some point, kids have to be given that freedom in order for them to fail, gain humility, and then try again. If teachers were the ones designing the projects, students would be less likely to do it, and their grades would suffer.
Teachers will generally tell you that trust is everything. If you don't have trust then you have nothing. Getting to pick your own project as a student, I would be elated. It shows that your teacher trusts that you will make the right decision and that you will get it done. The projects should differ from child to child because if one child wants to excel, then the limitations on the project to make another student comfortable, should not restrict him. Student-designed projects gives the students opportunity to excel in learning and to gain more trust from their teachers. Students usually have breakthroughs at least once during the years they are in school, when they start to realize that what they're learning is important and they start to care about what it is that they're learning, and learning becomes less like a burden and more like a privilege. Designing their own projects could spurr on this breakthrough and help students to realize that school isn't as bad as once anticipated.
Summer should be a break from all the things that cause stress in the everyday lives of students. It should be a time to unwide and relax. Schools are beginning to issue over-the summer projects to make sure that the students keep learning, and remember what they have previously learned. These projects should be student-designed because summer should not be a continuation of school, students are more likely to do a project if they get to choose what it is, and it gives students the opportunity to excel and be given more trust. This will ensure that students stay happy over the summer, while teachers are equally as happy knowing that all of their hard work to educate the students has not gone to waste.

He has done so many things to help the people in need of desperate help. Seagoing Cowboys help others, have to take care of animals, and people who join get to travel often.
First, this program helps others who are in need of help. Some may say, neighbors in their neighborhood could help them. However, some of the people the program has helped were just in a feirce war, you can't even tell it was once a beautiful neighborhood. The progam helped people in Europe just after World War II. I belive the program is really thoughtful, even to people in other countries.
Secondly, the program takes care of animals. Others may believe, they don't need to take care of the animals to help the humans. On the other hand, the animals provide meat, milk, and eggs. The animals will also provide clothing to the humans, the sheep give them wool. I infer animals are really useful animals and good to take care of.
Lastly, people who join travel often. Others may say, you might get injured with all the wars going on. However, most people who go arrive after the war ends so saftey is not a problem. The only time you might get hurt is when you mess around on the ship. This shows, traveling is not a problem, unless you get seasick.

272344076D52,"To get from point A to point B, whether it be from home to the park or from school to the movies, the logical answer that pops up in everyone's mind seems to be a car. Automibles such as cars and motorcycles are widely used and are integrated into every part of society. But do automobiles really need to be so rooted into everything people do as a society? Cars and motorcycles create a myriad of problems such as congestion and smog. Some societies even legally limit their community's automobile usage to attempt to correct some essential problems. Limiting automobile usage is important, because not only is it practiced globally with tremendous success, but it also largely reduces pollution caused by diesel fuel and brings to light issues within communities and accounts for their resolution.
Automobiles are thought of as a daily commodity in most urban countries, but there are some societies in which usage has been reduced or even eliminated entirely and the positive results may be shocking. In the suburban city Vauban, Germany, residents have given up automobiles for a chance at a life free of traffic sounds and stress. This experimental journey within the town has acheived these and so much more. Their streets are essentially car-free and the lack of garages and parking space allows for up to 5,500 people to live in a single rectangular square mile with any necessary stores within walking distance (Source 1 Par 6). Simlarly-yet on a much smaller scale, Bogota, Columbia has initiated a car-free day in an attempt to eliminate the area's pollution as well as reduce stress. The day is on its third year and has done as hoped. Additionally, Bogota's once pitted and uneven sidewalks have been since replaced and made much smoother, and the city has introduced parks and sports centers, new restaruants, and new shopping centers which are blossoming and thriving (Source 4 Par 28). these changes have created a society both happy and strongly bonded. As wonderful as these positive shifts in society are, limiting autombile usage can do even more.
A limit in automible usage can also benefit communities by reducing pollution-seeing as a large majority of air pollution is created through the release of diesel fuels into the air. Paris, France legally banned personally autombile use throughout the city in order to rid the city's air of harsh pollutants (Source 2 Par 10). France experiences a combination of cold nights and warm days that trap the emmisions from cars, scooters, and motorcycles (Source 2 Par 15). By significantly reducing the amount of diesel fuels rising to the air to be trapped, the smog had cleared enough within mere weeks that the city was able to entirely lifted the ban. This is a major example of the advantages limiting car usage entails.
Altogether, limiting automobile usage is key to improving society and has myriad advantages such as creating a more bonded and pleasant community and reduces environmental hazards like pollution. Creating vehicular limits is a promising way to change the world as we know it for the better.

In paragraph 5, the author gives light on NASA's possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus. NASA's idea is to allow scientists to float above the fray, like a blimp-like vehicle hovering 30 or so miles above Venus's landscape. A vehicle hovering over Venus would avoid the unfriendly ground conditions and that the temperatures would still be warm at around 170 degrees Fahrenheit, but the air pressure would be close to that of sea level on Earth. Solar power would be plentiful, and radiation would not exceed Earth levels. So, not easy conditions, but still survivable for humans.

CC296299ABA4,"The use of cars and mobile technology has done nothing but grow in our society without ceasing. However, the use of these cellular devices while driving can be fatal to the driver and to others. If the driver is overly distracted and is not paying attention, it can cause them to veer off the road or hit innocent, bystanding, pedestrians. The use of technology could also be used for good. GPS helps most people on this earth, get to where they need to go. Although, this can also lead to them getting distracted, some apps have it, so that the driver can simply hear the directions. The usage of cellular devices shouldn't be restricted completely, but limited to using GPS.
The amount of car accidents due to drivers being distracted by their phones, is at 1.6 million per year. This is mostly texting and driving, or being on social media while operating a vehicle. Actively using phones while driving should be restricted because of the danger to the driver, passengers, and the pedestrians that are around. Most of the drivers that are making these mistakes, are teenagers that don't know better. Teen drivers, or new drivers in general, should take a proper drivers ed class, that'll teach them proper drivers etiquette. This will inform them of the dangers of texting and driving, and teach them techniques to avoid temptation.
Although the use of cell phones should be restricted, it shouldn't be completely prohibited. Drivers often use their phones for GPS in this day and age. If phones are permanently prohibited, then drivers won't be able to use their mobile map. It navigates the driver to where they need to go. Apps have been programmed so that drivers can use their GPS hands-free. They also input a feature that will speak the directions out loud so the driver doesn't feel the constant need to pick their phone up and read the directions. All the driver has to do is input their destination in before the vehicle starts moving. Phones while driving doesn't need to be prohibited.
Some people will argue that the usage of any phones can start any car accident. While that is true, it is highly unlikely and implausible. Although texting and driving is the cause of many car accidents, it's not the cause for ALL of them. Phones cannot be blamed for every car accident that happens. In fact, drunk driving is the cause for 31% of car accidents that occur in the country. Taking away the cell phone completely from use in the vehicle, will have a poor effect on the drivers who need GPS to go to new places and don't end up lost. It will lead to drivers needing maps, which are often hard to read and hard to keep track of.
Getting rid of cell phone use while driving completely, may seem like a smart idea at first, but it doesn't make sense once really contemplated. It would alter the country's way of driving, and not in a good way. Maybe there would be less accidents, but there are still drunk drivers to worry about.

BC8A28D95F08,"The new technology called the Facial Action Coding System is very valuable. This new technology will be very useful in a classroom full of students that one teacher may not be able to handle all on their own. The Facial Action Coding System will help deal with many problems by reading a students face. This may help deal with situations a teacher can not figure out on their own. This software may be able to tell the teacher when the student is confused, upset, or even when the student is bored and needs a more interactive subject or way of learning.
When a student is confused, they may not ask for help to a teacher. The child may be too shy or nervous to ask for a simple example or explanation. This software program will be helpful because it will be able to read the students confused face and tell a teacher that the student needs help. In the short story in paragraph six it states, ""most communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication."" This explains how not all people will use words to explain what they are feeling. These students may never speak up for themselves or have the courage to ask a question without the program being here to help deal with the childs needs.
The Facial Action Coding System will not only help with students life in the classroom, but it may also help with a students feelings deeper within. The software will be able to pick out the students who are very upset, and need to talk about their emotions to another person. If a student has a sad face in class, the program may be able to identify what is wrong with the child, and it could notify this information to a teacher or a well trusted adult. In paragraph five of this story it states, ""most of us would have trouble actually describing each facial trait that conveys happy, worried, etc."" By having this computer software, it could help out with a students mental emotional feelings as well.
This program will also be very helpful in providing a fun learning environment for the students. In the middle of paragraph six it explains how a classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming bored. It also states that if you smile when a website advertisement pops up on the computer screen it will show more advertisements like that one. If a person frowns when this pops up, it willl show a different, more appealing advertisement. This can be very useful in a classroom. It may make the students more interested in learning. The students might even be more excited to learn now, because the computer will know that the students happy facial experssions mean they are enjoying the type of way the program is teaching them.
The new Facial Action Coding System will be extremeley helpful in a classroom. The students will have a more positive learning environment with this software. The new technology will not only be able to help with a students mental emotions, but it will help them be in a happier state of learning. This new system be more helpful for the students and for the teachers.

06E5ACD7F079,"The article ""Making Mona Lisa Smile"" focuses on the complex software that can analyze a face and even read emotions. The author claims this could be very useful in teaching, for being able to acount for the student's emotions could very well help the computer adapt and change the lesson more efficiently. While this could be true, there are a lot of questions that should be asked before this technology can be implemented, such as it's effectiveness and privacy.
The sixth paragraph says how the computer can know if you're happy or sad, and gives an example ""If you smile when a Web ad appears on your screen, a similar ad may follow. But if you frown, the next ad will be different."" This seems to be very helpful, but what if said person was smiling about something else? what if the person remembers something funny that happened the other day and suddenly they notice they keep getting uninteresting ads that pop up? There would be no way for the computer to tell if it was really the ad that made the person smile. Another issue is how it is used in class. Paragraph six states ""A classroom computer could recognize if a student is becoming confused or bored. Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor."" How would the computer tell what degree a pupil is confused? If a student looks a little confused, the computer may read this and respond as if the student was very confused, thus wasting the student's time with more help than they need. One more way to look at it is the privacy violations the software may bring. What if a student is opposed to a teacher being able to technologically and truthfully read the students emotions? does the computer take a log of the faces of the students? There is too many suspicious questions in regard to the morality and safety of the use of such software.

64183B7D3207,"Some cities are making themselves car-free. Like in Vauban, Germany; Paris; Bogota, Colombia; and even the president of the United States is trying to ""curb the United States' greenhouse gas emissions"" (Rosenthal, Paragraph 29). In Vauban, Germany residents of a community are ""going where few soccer moms or commuting executives have ever gone before: the have given up their cars"" (Rosenthal, Paragraph 1).Some advantages of limiting car usage is people are happier without cars and it promotes the alternative transportation and reduce smog.
The first advantage of limiting car usage is that people are happier without cars. ""The day without cars is part of an improvement campaign that began in Bogota in the mid-1990s. It has seen the construction of 118 miles of bicycle paths, the most of any Latin American city, according to Mockus, the city's mayor"" (Selsky, Paragraph 27). ""As a result, 70 pecent of Vauban's families do not own cars, and 57 percent sold a car to move here. ""When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way,"""" (Rosenthal, Paragraph 3). ""It was the third straight year cars have been banned with only buses and taxis permitted for the Day Without cars in this capital city of 7 million"" (Selsky, Paragraph 21). ""Vauban, completed in 2006, is an example of a growing trend in Europe, the United States and elsewhere to separate suburban life from auto use, as a component of a movement called ""smart planning""""(Rosenthal, Paragraph 4). Finally ""the rise in cellphones and car-pooling apps has facilitated more flexible commuting arrangements, including the evolution of shared van services for getting to work"" (Rosenthal, Paragraph 35).
The second advantage of limiting car usage is that it promotes the alternative transportation and it reduces smog. ""After days of near-record pollution, Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city""(Duffer, Paragraph 10). ""Congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of France, after five-days of intensifying smog . . . [The smog] rivaled Beijing, China, which is known os one of the most polluted cities in the world"" (Duffer, Paragraph 14). ""millions of colombians hiked, biked, skated or took buses to work during a car-free day yesterday, leaving the streets of this capital city eerily devoid of traffic jams"" (Selsky, Paragraph 20). Also ""the number of miles driven in the United States peaked in 2005 and dropped speadily thereafter.... As of April 2013, the number of miles driven per person was nearly 9 percent below the peak and equal to where the country was in January 1995"" (Rosenthal, Paragraph 32). And ""people who stopped car commuting as a result of the recession mat find less reason to resum the habit"" (Rosenthal,Paragraph 36). But finally ""Mine (19 and 21) have not botheres to get a driver's license, even though they both live in places where one could come in handy. They organize their summer jobs and social life around where they can walk or take public transportation or car-pool with friends"" (Rosenthal, Paragraph 39).
And those are the reasons why some cities are making themselves car-free. People are a lot more happy with no cars as said from Elisabeth Rosenthal """"When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way"". And also because people are trying to promote the alternative transportation and reduce smog, thats why Paris ""enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city"" (Duffer, Paragraph 10).

A2FA635C9590,"Electing a new president of the United States of America has been, and always will be, a big deal. One could be a state senator, a member of the legislative branch, or even an average citizen with zero involvement in governmental jobs/issues. The one thing that ties all of these people together - is that they're all citizens. As citizens, these people will care about who is running their country, what plans they have for it, and how those plans are carried out. Therefore, on behalf of the U.S., it is important to elect the correct person to rule a nation and keep it safe. The Electoral College is a flawed system used to elect presidents, and the American voting system should be based on popular vote. A few reasons being that the votes of the Electoral College outweigh the votes of an everyday citizen, and that the Electoral College basically has the final say in who becomes the president of the United States of America.
One of the things that is wired throughout all three sources, is that electoral votes basicallly overpower the votes of the average citizen. When the average citizen does vote, however, their vote does not go toward the president. Their vote goes to the Electoral College, who then vote for the president. ""[...] it is entirely possible that the winner of the electoral vote will not win the national popular vote"" (Posner 16). According to an article (that supports the Electoral College), the winner of an election can win without owning the popular votes of an entire nation. Basically, all that a candidate even needs is the majority votes of the Electoral College in order to win an election. ""[...] according to a Gallup pole in 2000, taken shortly after Al Gore - thanks to the quirks of the electoral college - won the popular vote but lost the presidency[...]"" (Plumer 9). Collecting the votes of the Electoral College is the only concern of a candidate - therefore the only reason that candidates speak to the people is to influence them to cast votes for the Electoral College, which then cast votes for that candidate. ""[...] Obama received 61.7 percent of the electoral vote compared to only 51.3 percent of the popular votes [...]"" (Posner 18). It's as if the people are just physical steps that electoral voters use to get to the person that the Electoral college wants to be the president of the U.S.
""Can voters control whom their electors vote for? Not always"" (Plumer 10). As mentioned in the article by Richard A. Posner, members of the Electoral College are chosen and expected to vote for their party's nominee. However, people don't always deliver what we expect from them. It is completly possible for an elector to change their mind, and cast their finalizing vote toward the opposite candidate. These members cast their votes directly to the candidate, and they can easily change their vote.

3F2E569A486F,"What is the best method for a students education? Students will befit by being able to attend classes from home because students will have more options of class times, students will be less stressed, and students will have more personal time.
First, speaking from the point of view as a high school student or a college student, trying to find time for classes along with other activities can be difficult. Going to at least five or six classes a day, getting homework, then going to jobs or sports can be hard to manage, especially as a teenager. As a student if you are able to work from home and pick the time of your classes it may be more suiting to your schedule. As this type of activity is not made for everyone, it may find a way to be useful to every student such as the student can have classes when the teacher video calls the student or when the teacher has a planned class, while others may want to chose when this class happens and if it is by themselves or live with others. While any of these options are available students may even earn a better education at their own pace and their own time without the rush and stress of the surrounding world.
Next, a students stress level can go down by taking online classes. As today's modern society rises students have more mental issues than a mental patient in the 1920's. This is a very large issue that counties to grow, along with many other stressful events and even technology. Stress can cause many things like depression and anxiety, but how can schools help with this? While most high schools students worry about the future we want to find a way to help them stress less about these things. By giving the option to students of online classes, students are able to do what they want, when they want, and how they do it. This may allow students to become more open and not feel like they need to fight against others or themselves to be their best self. Students will be able to complete classes on their own time and learning does not have to be as difficult as it appears. By limiting big classes students may not be surrounded by others with a higher level than them and stress about how they are not good enough or need to be better in anyway.
Last, students would have access to more personal time. As mentioned before students will most likely have the option of when their classes are and when they do them, this can give the student more access to their own time and any activities. Students can focus on important things like sleep, health, jobs, and other activities then return to their school work at anytime and being able to feel comfortable with their choices without being told how and when to do them. Students having more time to relax or enjoy themselves without feeling the stress of school and homework on their chest gives the students the ability learn new things and test their minds on what they can really do.
By doing online class and giving students more choices and free time the student can learn time management skills and understand what needs to be done, when to get it, and how to complete these task daily.
In conclusion, students will befit by attending classes from home because students will have more options of class times and how they wish to mange their time and usage of the day.

310355544D30,"In the intense debate concerning the validity of the Electoral College process, it is difficult to choose a position. The Electoral College is a long-standing tradition created by the founding fathers in the early days of the United States. However, the reasons behind the adoption of the Electoral system are not as valid today as they were centuries before. Electoral College was proposed by the founding fathers due to the fact that the average American citizen in the beginning of our nation was a simple farmer, who was not educated enough to make an informed decision in a vote. Nowadays, things are different. General education of the public is very advanced, and there are various easily acessable forms of media from which to learn about the policies and positions of the presidential canidates. After all, the president's job is to care for and protect the people of America, not the politicians. Therefore, shouldn't the people, not the politicians, elect the president?
Even those who support the Electoral College must admit it is a confusing system. When a citizen votes for a presidential canidate, that vote really goes to a slate of electors who were selected by means that vary between states and are pleged to that particular canidate, and those electors then vote for the president. As pointed out in Bradford Plumer's
The Indefensible Electoral College , voters can't control who their electors vote for. Aditionally, ""voters sometimes get confused about the electors and vote for the wrong canidate"" (also Bradford's
The Indefensible Electoral College
). And Bradford makes a good point; in the past, ""'faithless' electors have occasionally refused to vote for their party's canidate"".
There is also the fact that canidates for the presidency often focus on ""swing states"", states whose majority is not decided between political parties and whose votes have a large impact on the election. This is due to the winner-take-all method of the Electoral College. In a state that is mostly Republican, a Democratic presidential canidate may not put much into the local campain, knowing that since most voters are against them they would probably lose the state and gain nothing, because all the electoral votes of a state go to the canidate who won the majority of voters in that state. Thus, presidential campains are focused in the swing states, giving little attention to the others. However, if the presidential election were decided by popular vote, campain efforts would be spread evenly across the United States since every voter everywhere counted in the final election.
The method of electing a president by popular vote is a fair and well-balanced one, giving the minority parties in non-swing states a say in the presidency. Also, it was discovered that ""according to a Gallup poll in 2000...over 60 pecent of voters would prefer a direct election"" (Bradford Plumer,
The Indefensible Electoral College
). It was even admitted by pro-Electoral College Richard A. Posner in his
Defense of the Electoral College that ""A tie in the national electoral vote is possible"" due to the even number of total votes. Posner also states that ""no voter's vote swings a national election"". However, if everyone believed that, no-one would vote at all. Then there could be no election, Electoral College method or otherwise. Therefore, the individual voter does count, and so do all the minority political parties who's electoral slates do not get to vote for the president due to the Electoral College. Popular vote is the only reasonalble system for electing a president who will do their best for the American people. ""Of the people, for the people"". So let the all the people Vote.

7BF3FF676633,"Dear Principle,
I think that you should require all of the student body and your self perform community service. I think this because everybody should be willing to help our homes and town. This could help us. first we could get publicity and we will be good neighbors even make friends, Second we could all get active, Third it will help our environment, Last when were helping we could also be having fun.
First, if we all get out there and help I'm sure you will meet a lot of new people. Even make friends also you can make a good reputation for yourself. If we all get together and help eventually you will have tons of friends and partners in life.
Second, Every one complains about weight issues. If everyone got out there and helped work they/you will loose body fat and get muscle. So you would be helping the environment and also get a size 6 waist. Or if your a boy/man you can get the body of your dreams by getting out and helping. This will help the world and help you at getting a date.
Third, Everyone at one point wants to help animals. Well if you/we do community service you/we would be picking up trash and other things. Animals eventually eat trash and choke on it and die painfully. If we got all of the trash up then animals would be not dying for that reason. Also planting trees and flowers will help the environment, animals, and you/us by giving us oxygen and by making soil easier to grow in and by giving animals food and/or places to live.
Last, you could be cleaning out your favorite lake or pond that can be fun if you love the water. Or clean up your favorite place to play outside. I'm sure you at least have one.

98606EADD114,"As time goes on technology improves day by day, we live in a world where technology plays a big role in our lives. Whoever woud have known that technology would get so advanced that even computers can read our emotions. Yeah that's right, a new software called Facial Action Coding System is able to detect our emotions by creating a 3D model of our face and recording our 44 muscle movements. This type of software should be allowed in schools to help teachers identify students who struggle in their classes.
The Facial Action Coding System has promising results and was able to detect Mono Lisa's emotions, ""She's 83 perecent happy, 9 perecent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry"" (D'Alto 1). This was a test conducted by Prof. Thomas Huang and Prof. Nicu Sebe. These are two professers that develop better ways for human and computers to comminicate. With the help of these professors the software FACS can detect ""happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness"" (D'Alto 3). In other words it can detect emotions and that could be very useful in classrooms.
Another point why I believe this software is valuale in a classroom is because in paragraph 6 Dr. Huang said "" a classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored"" (D'Alto 6). This is a very helpful tool because students are very shy, scared, and nervous when it comes to speaking up or asking questions, Dr. Haung pointed out that ""most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communucation"" (D'Alto 6). What is being said is that people do not comminicate verbaly or emotionaly and they want computers to know that. With FACS software's in classrooms it can help identefy and improve students education.
Last but not least in paragraph 8 it was said that ""faces don't lie; these muscle clues are sometimes used to spot when a smiling politician or celebrity isn't being truthful"" (D'Alto 8). What this is saying is that their facial recognition software never fails to detect when someone is lying and that faces do not lie. This could be used to identify if a student is being honest or is lying about what they have done.

1A58E2543D00,"I concur to not letting students participate in sports if their average is under a B. If they have below a B, their after school hours shouldn't be devoted to something that won't aid them educationally. Also, if a student has an average below B, it's possible that they aren't good at focusing, which would be a problem in any sort of sport. Above all of that, if a student cannot participate in a sport for having a below B average, it'll encourage them to bring their grade up so that they can participate in a sport.
Like I said at first, after school hours shouldn't be wasted on a sport if the student is doing poorly in school. That time could be spent studying for a test or completing homework, which the student would benefit from educationally. How many times have you heard the excuse of ""I had basketball/football/softball practice,"" for incomplete homework? Now the grade they get for the homework will lower their grade, but if they had been doing it instead of practicing, their grade would have likely gone up.
Sometimes, the reason a student's grade is low is because, try as they might, they simply do not comprehend the material. But in other cases, the student may be the type to become easily distracted, so they cannot focus when the material is being taught. If they were out on the football field or the soccer field and they were distracted, it could result in an injury of some sort. Therefore, a student should be able to focus well in order to be allowed to take part in any sort of sport.
Have you ever heard the saying, ""Wanting it is half the fun?"" This is quite true. If a student desperately wants to participate in a sport, yet they have a C average, what do you think they're going to do? They're going to endeavor to bring their average up to at least a B, naturally. If every student got their average up because they wanted to partake in a sport, that would reflect on the school as well as the teachers in a very positive way.
To conclude, I strongly believe that a student should have at least a B average in order to be in a sport. It shows that they're capable of both completing assignments and practicing for said sport. More importantly, if they're able to focus well in class, they'll certainly be able to focus well out on the field or the court, and that'll make them a more valuable player. Last but not least, because they'll want to be in the sport, many students will likely boost their grades in order to be able to do so, which, in turn, will boost the entire school's overall performance.",,462,Grades for extracurricular activities,Independent,"Your principal is considering changing school policy so that students may not participate in sports or other activities unless they have at least a grade B average.

Most students dislike doing summer projects because they think of it as a chore.
By giving them the freedom to design the project themselves, they can have fun and share their creativity.
Students will be able to learn in a different way when they design their own assignments.
This could make it easier for students to learn and remember materials taught to them in previous years.
This may be a great thing for teachers as well.
I believe they will be amazed by their students projects.
They will see how creative their students are.
This may also help them with ideas for future assignments.
These projects don't only help the students, they help the teachers learn more about each student.
However, there is a downside to student-designed projects.
Teachers may have difficulty grading the projects if they don't make the assignments themselves.
Teachers can also find it easier to make the assignments themselves and use it for all of their classes.
Students may get caught up in using their creativity and having fun, that they lose sight of the assignment's purpose.

45FB831B9EFA,"Phone & Driving
People are constantly using their phones for different things. There are many great uses for phones. We use them for work, to contact some, even to watch videos and school research. Phones are one thing we tend to keep in our hands. However this hasn't proven to be to the best choice. NHTSA say that at least 1000 people are injured because of phone usage while driving a vehicle. In this paper I will be talking about why I think we shouldn't use cellphones while driving.
It has been proven that cell phone usage leads to deaths. Motor vehicles crash daily and usually there are many fatalities as a result of cell phone usage. Most accidents are caused by teen drivers that just have to pick up their phone while driving. The main casualties are pedestrians. In the year of 2018 alone, around 400,000 people were injured or killed. It is sad that lives are destroyed by one senseless act such as picking up a phone while driving.
Drivers that are seen and caught risk very serious punishment. The average cellphone while driving violation cost about $300 per incident. This violation also comes with a minimum of four points towards your license. This can cost you in other ways as well such as higher insurance premiums. Once you receive fifteen points your license is revoked and you are now left with finding other means of transportation. If you are found guilty of hitting someone you can face one to twenty years in prison. One second of picking up a cellphone may lead to lifetime of misery.
Driving while using a cellphone may lead to a lifelong change with many effects.
Imagine for just one moment a teen has friends or even siblings in the car with them; suddenly the phone rings. The teen looks away from the road to answer or check the text message, hits a pothole, loses control of the vehicle and in now in oncoming traffic. The vehicle crashes killing some of the passenger if not all involved.
You now have several different families that have been united by a tragedy that shouldn't have been. Drivers in the oncoming traffic may be injured as well and now have a lifetime of bills or life changing injuries and scars to hunt them of the day that some teen made a conscious choice to pick up a cellphone and drive. One moment is all it ever takes to change a life.
As you can see from the research people are affected by distracted drivers. You risk serving jail time and giving up your freedom. You can lower the causalities by simple not operating your vehicle while on a cellphone. People would worry less and feel safer if they were assured that you are being responsible and choose not to text or talk while driving.

01D81E8DAD16,"The author didnt support this claim very well. The author talked alot about the dangers in Venus rather the good that comes from Venus. I say this because as I am reading I see how the author mentions many of times how Venus has extreme tempetures and how no one has went to Venus because of these extreme conditions.
The author says in paragraph 2 ,""Numerous factors contribute to Venuss reputation as a challenging planet for humans to study, despite its proximity to us."" Which gives the idea that it is a very dangerous place. You may begin to question ""Why would any one want to go to Venus"" or you may say to yourself ""This is not any where that i would want to go."" The author also states in paragraph 3,"" Even more challenging are the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venuss atmosphere."" This is even more if a danger sign. No one would want to be anywhere where you could potentially suffocate. We also know from this paragraph that Venus temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet. The author states in paragraph 6 ,""Therefore, scientists seeking to conduct a thorough mission to understand Venus would need to get up close and personal despite the risks."" The author gives us tons and tons of reasons why it is not worth going to Venus.
From what I have read today I will never want to go to Venus. The author gave plenty of good reasons on why we should not go to Venus. It is not a place for humas as we have already read. So i feel as if the author did not do a good job supporting his claim on why Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it may present.",,310,Exploring Venus,Text dependent,"In ""The Challenge of Exploring Venus,"" the author suggests studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents.

00944C693682,"Limiting the usage of cars has personal and professional support all across the globe and yet it has yet to be embraced everywhere. Statistical proof show where it may help and real life examples of some of the effects of reducing, or getting rid of altogether, cars in one's daily life. While ""recent studies suggest that Americans are buying fewer cars, driving less and getting fewer licenses as each year goes by"" (Source 4), is that really enough or for the right reason? There are plenty of reasons to stop, or limit, the amount of cars being driven on the roads for every kind of person, from the hippie to the businessman, from the mom to the college student. With so many things in this world that few people agree on, this is a nice change to see in regards the removal of so many cars. Why would they all agree, one might ask. Well, there are plenty of reasons.
For starters, stress. It is no secret that morning traffic jams and 5'o'clock traffic is often enough to send any driver into a fit of unadulterated rage and what better way is there to prevent that than to simply not drive at all? Mother and media trainer, Heidrum Walter attested to this after moving into a mostly car-less community, claiming ""when [she] had a car [she] was always tense. [She's] much happier [that] way"" (Source 1). If that were not enough, businessman Carlos Arturo Plaza who participated in the Day Without Cars in Bogota, Colombia, after just a day was able to say ""it's a good oppurtunity to take away stress"" (Source 3). Just one day was enough to de-stress this man and if that does not speak wonders, one has to wonder what does. The event ""[left] the streets of [Bogota] eerily devoid of traffic jams"" (Source 3), which goes to show how stressful it was everyday, with traffic jams a common occurance. No one enjoys them, so why continue to suffer through them?
Additionally, the environment suffers greatly from the many car emissions let out on the roads. ""Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe ... and up to 50 percent in some car-intensive areas in the United States"" (Source 1). This alone should be enough to horrify anyone out of such copious amounts of car usage. If that were not enough, ""transportation is the second largest source of America's emissions"" (Source 4). It is clear that cars are only doing more harm to this earth all humans live on and happen to only have one of, so there is no need to continue on knowing this without changing something about that. Even car-pooling could significantly reduce emissions as there would be less cars out there, which is possible through ""more flexible commuting arrangements, including the evolution of shared van services for getting to work"" (Source 4).
Of course, adding the last two reasons together makes for another very important factor in all of this: everyone's general health. Both stress and high concentrations of smog can do a toll on one's body and the reduction of cars, once again, helps to reduce this terrible down-sides to the easy transportation option. If it must be described as ""emissions ... are choking cities"" (Source 1), then why not be a bit more concerned. Air pollution can affect those with pre-existing respitory issues and stress can be a deciding factor in how effient and well a person can function. Stress on the road can lead to unsafe driving and a worse performance at work, school, or any other task-oriented location that many go to with the aid of a car.
It is also worth noting that cities that have embraced a no car lifestyle such as Vauban or Bogota have generally improved as a community and have given back anything the newly car-less citizens may have been missing out on through saving them time and money. In Vauban, ""stores are placed a walk away, on a main street, rather than in malls along some distant highway"" (Source 1). This is not only much more cost-efficient, but also convienent. This is saving both time and money, just like in Bogota where ""parks and sports centers [] have bloomed throughout the city; uneven, pitted sidewalks have been replaced by broad, smooth sidewalks; rush-hour restrictions have dramatically cut traffic; and new restaurants and upscale shopping districts have cropped up"" (Source 3). Not only does this help individual citizens and business owners, it helps the overall economy of the city as well.
Individual car use isn't bad. Millions of individuals using cars, however, is very bad. Note the emphasis. Even just making a concious effort to car pool, bike to work or school, use public transportation, or use some sort of alternative transportation could be enough to clear up the air of some of it's emissions, keep oneself and others happier and less stressed, save time and money, and improve their city all in one little decision. It's just a matter of going ahead and doing it, so what is stopping anyone from going out and making that change now? Be the change you want to see and limit your car usage now.

EA5FD0C8ED2C,"Have you ever wanted to explore or learn more about other planets? In ""The Challenge of Exploring Venus"" the author suggest that studying Venus is a worthy persuit despite the dangers it presents. Venus is a near by planet, and it has much intel that we need to understand. Is the data, and research we could get from this mysterious planet worth the risk? The research we can get from Venus is well worth the risk it may take to retrieve the data needed.
We have never been to this planet before in person, but we have had unmanned ships come to Venus but with the outstanding temperatures of 800 or more degrees Fehrenhiet, and the thick atmosphere they only last on the planet a near only few hours. With the planet atmosphere 97% carbon dioxide, and Highly acidic and corrosive sulfuric acid in the atmosphere there is a big challenge even landing a ship for a day.
You may ask why would we even keep atempting to go there when there when we can't even have a ship there for even a day. We could get a lot of things from there that may help understand more about the planet and space travel. Long ago scientist believe that is once just like earth. Holding bodies of water such as oceans, lakes, and more with trees and other life forms. The planet this holds some features of a planet that was once habbitablem, the planet has a surface of rocky sediment which includes features such as valleys, mountains, and craters.
Even if we did need this, and people all around the world wanted to go there you may be thinking just how could we since the planet seems to destroy everything we send there. With better technology, and using computer sytems from the 1800s, and early 1900s we may be able to with updated sytems. These computers consist of a systems that use gears to calculate everything, meaning they aren't as fragile as other newer faster computers. Scientist believe they may be able to use these and more reinforced materials to make the ship stronger, they tested them in a chamber that had conditions like Venus and so far the materials have laster as long as three weeks.
At this point is it worth not taking the risk to get to Venus? We have improved and even may get there very safely. The risk don't present as much as rish but challenges. With all the benefits of traveling there, they overway the risk.

53C8C10285AD,"When was the last time you drove a car? Studies have shown that the amount that people have driven over the last couple of years has gone down. There are lots of advantages to limiting car usage. Some of them include: less gas emmisions, emptier and safer streets, and new innovations to compensate for the reduction of car usage. Plenty of cities around the world have attempted limiting car usage.
To start off, if citizens limit their car usage, there would be less gas emissions. But, unfortunately there are still plenty of greenhouse gas emissions. Transportation is the second largest source of America's emissions, just behind power plants. There are other options to do instead of driving, you could skate, bike, walk, or etc. The gas emissions are a huge problem in today's society and we have to change something about the way we live. For example, in Bogota, Columbia, they have a car-free day once a year. This reduces the smog that is kept in the air from the gas emissions.
Continuing on, if citizens limit their car usage, we would have safer streets for sure. With less cars driving up and down the street, kids can feel free to play in the street without having to worry about a reckless driver coming down and mowing them all down. Even suburban planners in the US are trying to create ""car reduced"" communities. Instead of using cars, public transportation is becoming the new thing.
Lastly, with people not using cars to get everywhere, some innovations would be made. Side walks would be reconstructed, less rush-hour traffic, new restaraunts and shopping districts within walking distance, and parks and sport centers would blossom. In Bogota, all of those have blossomed since they have started it back in the mid-90s. With the end of car culture also, new innovations have to spring up.
To close out, cars are being used less and less. And they should be because they cause gas emissions, unsafe streets, and bad construction.

05EA79FC1DDE,"Operating a cellular device at the same time as handling a vehicle is so dangerous, due to texting and driving becoming the leading cause of death among teenage drivers, one out of every four car accidents in the U.S. is caused by texting and driving, that boils down to roughly eight people being killed each day and roughly one thousands one hundred and sixty-one injuries in crashes that involved distracted driving.
Texting and driving appears to be a significant problem among young drivers. Studies show that drivers on a mobile phone reduce their visual scanning of the road ahead, are more likely to weave within their lane on bends, and are slower to respond to hazards. It is important to go ahead and deal with this issue for young adults now, so that they can break this habit and not have to deal with any future issues.
Due to the constant concern of this matter, many states have decided to enforce a hands free law. The different stats in the United States that have enforced this law are, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia plus Washington, D.C.
Laws and facts show several reasons why it is unsafe to text and drive, but when it narrows down, the driver must take under consideration the different situations that can affect them self and others in the vehicle as well. Younger drivers do not realize the importance of considering the passengers, other motorists, or pedestrians, there are so many things that can happen around a moving vehicle, and just the slightest move can have the worse outcome for everyone.
Although there are certain laws about the matter, most drivers either avoid the law or do not fully understand the importance of it. There are other ways to get through to someone about this matter, such as, telling someone about how uncomfortable it is, or how risky it can be, another way is just simply taking the phone from them.
In conclusion, driving while on a phone is something that should be strictly advised against, the next time someone gets in a vehicle and is preparing to drive away, they should think to themself about what could happen if they acknowledge the little device in their lap, think more responsibly and get to the destination safely.

2F2B6C492E97,"Dear Florida senator,
I think that we should keep the Electoral College vote system, because it is pretty much the same thing as election by popular vote. When you vote for your canidatate, you're voting for his electors. Then those electors vote for their presidential nominee. Not often do the electors betray their canidate, so odds are the popular vote will win.
Also, the Electoral College system avoids run-off elections when no canidate wins a majority of the votes, the Electoral college produces a clear winner.
Another reason to keep the Electoral College vote is because if we had to vote by popular vote, it wouldn't be fair to some of the states. Canidates tend to visit the big states that have an impact on their election. That means that the states with a lower population don't get to see what the canidates have to offer.
Next reason is because some of the presidential canidates could be favored by some of the regions. For example, obama was elected as first African American president, and a lot of African Americans were excited, and voted for him. Some of the people didn't even care what he had to offer. The Electoral College reduces the chance of that happening because the regions vote doesn't have a big impact on the election.
Lastly, we should keep this voting system because when the citizens vote for a presidential canidate, they vote for the electors. They choose electors that are going to vote for the party's nominee. So basically, if one of the canidates wins the popular vote, and the electors go to vote, the one with the more popular votes is going to win most likely. It rarley ever happens that the elector for one nominee votes for the other.
I believe we should keep Electoral College vote because it is much like election by popular vote. It is also more fair between big and small populations of states, and presidential canidates can not be favored by regions they come from. The Electoral College system is a good way to vote.

E6D61167AFFC,"Different people have different mind sets and have faced different things. By asking multiple people about there opinion you can create one based off of their opinions. People have different points of views, there could be two sides of what your discussing. Overall I believe that asking more people about there opinions can help you find the best answer.
There are different point of views for everything. When seeking for an answer, it might now come right away. Asking multiple people gives you more ideas, more time to think, and there could also be two different sides to your answer. There could be ups and downs to your answer but it has to be what fits you the best. You talk to so many people that all have different ideas and opinions, so talking to more and more people could give you more ideas and more opinions.
When seeking an answer you take everything into consideration. Thinking about how different people are all different. No one is the same, this could be used because the more people you talk to the different ideas that you could be told. This could be good or bad because when you talk to multiple people all of there opinions most likely will be different, so when different people tell you different things it could get confusing. You could also look at it you could take all of there opinions and use that to create your own, use their ideas and create a new own that fits best for you.
You could also think of it the other way. You could say that multiple opinions are bad because people are telling you different things and they all tell you something different and that if you talked to one person that it would be better because you would get their opinion and only their opinion. My opinion is to talk to multiple people, I just started golfing and I started off talking to one person about my swing, but now that I have talked to multiple I have now been satisfied by the way I hit the ball and how my swing looks and feels. This is one of my main reason why I chose to ask multiple people.
In my opinion, asking multiple people about their opinions is better than asking one person about theirs. People have different points of views, different sides of whats going on, different things they have faced. Dr. Seuss once said ""The more you learn, the more you know"". I believe that Dr. Guess said this is because the only way you could know more is by communicating to other people about what they know.

C18BB3762DCE,"A stop to driverless cars
Over the years technology has changed dramatically in many ways. Cell phones have the ability to shut off smart tv's with a push of a button, computers have the ability to hack humans with special softwares. People have developed many new ideas about technology with the modern world today. Driverless cars are a whole new introduction to technology today. Are people for or against drieverless cars?
Some positive aspects of driverless cars include the following, they can handle up to 25 miles per hour-special touch sensors make sure the driver keeps hold of the wheel. They can steer,accelerate, and brake themselves. All of the driverless cars are designed to notify when there is a road that requires human skills, examples would be accidents, construction zones, etc. When a vehical is in danger of backing up into an object, the seat vibrates to get the drivers attention. Driverless cars could also help senior citizens that are not capable to drive themselves places that they need to go.
Some negative aspects of driverless cars include, human drivers staying alert and ready to take over in a situation. Having someone drive for you when you have the ability to drive yourself could cause you to get bored at times. In case you do not feel your seat vibrate it would already be too late to try to control the car yourself. One major negative aspect of driverless cars that me, myself would mostly worry about is car malfunction. Car malfunction happens quite often and what would happen if all of a sudden the car starts going crazy? Drivers, passengers, and pedestrians would not be safe if the car had a malfuntion.
In conclusion, I think driverless cars would not be safe. Although the driverless car does have some positive aspects, most people would want to get in a car where they feel safe in, not a car where they feel something may go wrong in a tough situation. I am totally against driverless cars only because I would not like to be in a car that I do not feel safe in, let alone a car I have to worry about.

5B57A518AE8B,"How does someone make a better choice when seeking multiple opinions from others?
Have you ever hesitated about a decision and asked others what they believe you should choose? When you ask someone about what choice you should make they often share their experiences on that topic giving you more knowledge on each choice. Talking to more than one person can help someone make better decisions by knowing other peoples experiences. Being aware of the possible outcomes, knowing what the experience is like, and knowing how it will affect others are all reasons why it is important to know other people's experiences when asking for their opinion.
When a person seeks advice from multiple people that have had experiences with their choice, the person is more likely to be more aware of what the possible outcomes are. For example, when I was choosing my electives for eighth grade, I couldn't decide whether to retake Algebra I or take Geometry. Therefore, I asked my sister, Generic_Name, who had retaken Algebra I, and my brother, Generic_Name, who had taken Geometry. Generic_Name's opinion was that because my grade Algebra 1 in was not good, it'd be wiser to retake it because the eighth grade Algebra I teachers taught better than the seventh grade teachers. She also mentioned that retaking it was a chance to get my grades higher. Generic_Name, however, told me that Geometry was easy and it could give me more high school credits. I chose to retake Algebra I, as a result, I have a perfect score in the class and I was able to learn more than I did in seventh grade. My peers that have taken Geometry say that the class is hard and they don't have a good grade in it. When I asked my siblings what it was like taking each class in eighth grade, they shared with me their experiences which lead me to make right choice by taking Algebra I which had a better outcome.
When people share their experiences with another person, that person knows that they could expirience the same thing. For example, when buying a product a person will want to know if it is worth the money. The person will most likely go to the reviews of the product and see how other described the quality. Reading the reviews helps someone decide whether they should buy the product based on how well it works and lasts. Another scenario is when people want to travel and don't know if the place they are traveling to is going to be how they think it is. People often go to friends or family that they know have traveled to that destination to know what they should expect when they arrive. Another time when somone will want to know other peoples experiences is when they want to eat at a restaurant. People will ask others for reccomendations for restaurants that they beleive they would enjoy and which restaurants they don't reccomend eating at. Some restaurants have unsanitary foods or have foods that can cause severe allergic reactions, to stay safe people want to learn from other peoples experiences to learn if they had any problems with certain restaurants so they know which places they should eat at. Knowing other people's experiences with things someone wants to try out is important so they know what they could be experiencing when they make a certain choice.
Sometimes making a decision affects not just one person, but multiple people. An example would be when a leader is making a rule they're going to want to know what happened when other countries tried to enforce the same rule. They want to know how the rule affected the citizens of other countries to know if the new rule would be beneficial or harmful for their people. Another time when this happens is when family or friends want to do an activity, they communicate with each other and share which activities they have done in the past that they think everyone else will enjoy. During sports games the players on a team will strategize with each other to find the best way to win. They know which tactics work and which don't after trying out new strategies each game and seeing if strategies that other teams used have worked. Sometimes making a decision doesn't depend on one person, it depends on multiple people to end up with a choice together so everyone is in agreement and everything is fair. These are all reasons why it is important to know others people's experiences and opinions when making a choice.
When a person is asked about their opinion on a certain choice they often share their experiences with it which helps the person asking make a better choice. Asking for others opinions helps the person be more aware of the possible outcomes, know what the experience will be like, and know how it will affect others. Making huge decisions is hard, but when a person makes them alone without anybody elses opinion, it is even harder.

B9871E7972A3,"Educating the youth and next generation may take a drastic change. Distance learning, learning from home, should be a new way of education for students. In online learning, students would learn from home by taking courses online and using videos to educated themselves. Students would no longer be going to classrooms to learn which would actually be a good thing. Using online learning for a teaching method would be very useful as it would stop social issues at school, allow students to go at their own pace, and allow students to learn more information and use other sources.
Online learning would out right stop most social issues at school. Bullying would be reduced for students since they're not forced to sit next to or even see a rude kid every day. Kids could only hang out and surround themselves with who they want to be around and don't have random seats or random partners and table mates. Having students not go into a classroom and all come together would also stop the spread of diseases and colds. Several schools have began online learning since the corona outbreak started to try and reduce the spread of that highly infectious disease. Another big social benefit, would be that kids can't be disruptive during classes and talk when the teacher is talking or talking to other kids and disrupt their learning envierment. Online learning would fix many have the social problems we have at school today.
Having students do online learning would allow for students to go at their own pace. In classrooms, the teacher chooses the pace at which they go at, and students have to follow it even if it's to fast for them and they get left behind. With online learning tho, it allows students to pause and rewind videos or even go back and understand something they didn't fully understand. Students could play videos again and again and review the videos as many times as they need to so they can understand, something that can't be done in a classroom. In classrooms, the teacher will just say things once, review it a little and explain, then move on. Online learning would allow all students to be able to fully understand and grasp a concept.
Online learning would allow students to learn more information and uses other sources to learn. Some kids who enjoy a concept, or just want to learn as much information about something as possible, are limited to how much the teach talks about it. With online learning students can explore the internet and other sources to find all sorts of information on a topic. In classrooms, teachers have a teaching method they use and just have to hope it works for everybody. In online learning, there is several ways of learning like watching a video, reading notes, and using a review game. Online learning would allow students to use each method and whatever they think helps them best they can use.
In conclusion, online learning should be an available option for students since would stop social issues at schools, allow students to go at their own pace and understand, and options to learn more information and use other sources. Some people fear that having online learning would result in kids not learning and just sitting at home playing games instead of school work at home. This would not be a big effect of online learning however, kids who are in school typically skip classes and walk around or don't pay attention. No matter what they will be kids who won't learn and try but online learning would not add to this factor.

F9A944AD1FD2,"Not Using Phones in a Vehicle
Crashes, getting pulled over, and not paying attention to the road- nobody likes those things, well, most of it comes from cellphones. Operating cellphones on the road is not good for you.
Crashes are one of the main causes of death today. The Zebra states that ""Nearly nine people die and 1,000 are injured from car accidents daily where one is distracted by a phone."" This implies that most accidents are caused by someone operating cellphones on the road, which shows you how much people stay on their phone in the car and why it is not good for you. In summary of this paragraph driving while on the phone is not good for you.
Getting pulled over by the cops because of being on your phone while driving happens a lot. While people are in real situations you are getting pulled over by a cop because of a cellphone. The Seattle Times said that ""Individuals are getting fined $136 for a first ticket and
$234 for additional tickets."" This shows that if you get pulled over for being on your phone you will be fined for it. In other words it is another example why not to be on your phone while driving.
Not paying attention to the road is mainly caused by a cellphone. Most people when on phones in a car are not paying attention to the road which means they could hit someone or something, hit another car, or run off the road. On Wikipedia they say that ""Drivers are distracted, decreasing the drivers awareness on the road."" This confirms that driving and using a phone causes people to not pay attention to the road. Therefore, operating cellphones on the road is not good for you.
In conclusion to this essay, I explain how driving and operating a phone is not good for you. You could also help by turning off or silencing your phone when you enter the car and drive safely. It could lead to less crashes, less tickets, and a safer drive. ",,342,Phones and driving,Independent,"Today the majority of humans own and operate cell phones on a daily basis.

5EB43212A8DC,"Summer, the time every student looks forward to after being in school for several months. Unfourtanetly certain schools are requiring students to complete summer projects to assure they're continuing to learn during their break. There is a debate whether or not the assignments should be teacher-designed or student-designed. The assignments should be student-designed because their summer is already being interrupted by school projects, so the students having freedom with the project will motivate them to do it, the project will be more enjoyable because it will be a topic they like, and it will allow creativity.
Students will be disappointed that they go to school for roughly ten months out of the year, and the two months they do have off are filled with school related assignments. That's why having a student-designed project will allow the students to take a different perspective of the assignment. The students having a choice will motivate them to do the project because it will be something they enjoy. Most summer based assignments would be reading a teacher chosen novel and doing an assignment based off of it. No student wants to spend their summer reading a novel they don't find an interest in and then writing a paper about it. However they wouldn't necessarily mind doing an assignment if it corresponds with the vacation they're going on and a school subject they enjoy. Giving students a choice allows them to dig deeper and the outcome will be greater and it will allow a greater amount of success.
Another reason the summer projects should be student-designed is that students will find more joy in working with an assignment they like. Every student is different therefore they will appreciate the fact they get to do a project that appeals to them. This will also allow the teachers to learn about their students more at the beginning of the year, what they like, and what works for them. Students need a break to relax and let their brain interpret all the information they have learned during the previous school year, so loading them down with assignments is not going to help them recover. Having a student-designed project will give students the opportunity to learn and think about school but at the same time not be overwhelmed and have a negative outlook towards doing the project for school.
Having a student-designed assignment also allows the students to get creative and expand learning outside of the classroom. It will allow the teachers to see what the students are capable of. Additionally the teachers would enjoy grading the projects because all of them would be different. However the teachers will disagree and want a teacher-designed assignment because they will want the project to be organized and structured. Teachers would want to make sure effort is being put into the project and the students are retaining information from it. There will be many assignments during the school year for the teachers to plan assignments so during the break the students should be trusted to design their own.
Summer is what every student looks forward to, the fun vacations and plans they have. They're not going to want to complete a dreadful assignment. The students should be held capable of designing their own summer project so they will have more motivation to complete it, they will be able to find joy in it, and they will be able to think with an open-mind and become creative.

Have you ever had a passion for some kind of activity or sport, but couldn't do it because you never had the time? Well, now is your chance to achieve your goal of getting on varsity football, or working in student council. I agree with the principal that every student should have at least one extracurricular activity because it can help build new friends, build your self-esteem and confidence , and lastly it might just help you get a scholarship in college if you do a sport.
You know it's a struggle to make friends these days. People working together and helping each other out could possibly help them become friends. That is just one of the many perks of being on a team or group that supports you. The feeling of love, support, and praise can boost our confidence. This is one of the reasons why everyone should participate in an extracurricular activity.
Building your self esteem and confidence is one of the many things that we can achieve on our own. All you have to do is believe in your self and trust your friends. Supporting your friends and yourself can help everyone on a team come together as one. That is just one way of boosting yourself and your friends/teammates. Although, it is very important to encourage each other you must remember that doing it in a negative way could only effect your relationship with that person.

Well, maybe if you take a sport as your, extracurricular activity and you're good at it, they might consider giving you a full scholarship. Just keep in mind that you have to go to the same college and you can't quit the sport. As long as you enjoy it you will be fine. That is my last reason for supporting the principals decision.

CC2EAAA8FA84,"It's the end of the school year and kids and teachers are excited to leave for summer break, but what comes with that break for most schools is a dreadful summer project. Some schools decide that their students have to complete a project during the summer to make sure they are still learning even though they are not in school. People can't decide if the projects should be teacher or student designed projects. I think they should be student designed in order for the students to get the most out of the learning.
If students think of the blueprint of their project then they will be better able to understand it. Having students make their own project challenges them to know how to find their own information. They are forced to learn about a whole topic by doing their own research and completing it on their own. All the teachers have to do is give them a certain criteria to make sure they are all learning the correct information that they need to complete the projects. It is more beneficial for the students to get their information first hand to get the most out of learning.
Some people think that the projects should be teacher designed. They think that if the students have the control that they either won't get it done or won't get it done correctly. The project won't get done efficiently and it would've been a waste of time for them to do it anyways. Having the teachers give them the information will assure that the students get what they need to better understand the subject. When the teacher designs the layout of the project it is easier for them to show the students how it should be done correctly.
When doing their summer project, students still are using their brain so they can continue to be used to the learning atmosphere. Students are still getting work done during the break without getting lazy. When kids have a long break from school it is hard for them to get back in the dynamic of going back to school. They get so used to having that break that their brains aren't ready to start doing work again. By having them learn and create their own summer project their brains will still be somewhat used to learning for when school comes back in session.
Having students get more into their learning benefits them in so many ways. Summer projects are a great way for students to keep learning, especially if they themselves design how they think it should be. They get the chance to get ahead in their school learning for the upcoming school year by doing everything themselves.

29C9EF546659,"Summer Learning
Summer break was created to let students have fun and freedom. It's a time for students to relax and enjoy their youth with friends and families. However, when students come back into school they forget the material they learned last year. Some schools require summer projects so students can continue learning and obtain the knowledge. While some may believe letting students designed their projects gives them freedom with it, others may believe letting teachers design the project because the project would be based more on educational topics and have a set of guidelines to help the student.
Having the summer project teacher-designed gives the teacher the choice of educational topics for the project. Depending on the teacher, it can be on math, science, english, history, or any other subject that the student takes in school. This helps the student continue their learning from the previous year and keeps the topic school appropriate. The main point of schools doing this summer project is to further the learning of the student. While some people believe it's taking the freedom of choosing a topic, a student can chose anything which doesn't improve their learning. If a student chooses skateboarding, video games, sports, or food it defeats the purpose of the summer project. The teacher, however, can give many different topics to chose from which allows some freedom to the student. They can pick a topic that seems interesting, but also continues their learning for the school year that is coming ahead. Also, by letting teachers pick the topics that can be picked by the students, the students can teach the kids in the class about the learning they have learned. This gives other kids the opportunity to hear new educational topics and gives the teacher only to review over that unit. Having teachers base the topics more educational benefits the students, but as well as the teachers.
Another reason why the summer project should be teacher-designed is so they can create a set of guidelines to guide the student. The teacher can provide a rubric and rules to help the student understand what needs to be done for this project. For example, if the project needs to be a poster, tri-fold, or PowerPoint. Another aspect is if students can work in groups, duos, trios, or by themselves. Moreover, if the student needs to include any pictures, drawings, or symbols. Having guidelines helps the students be organized with their work and keeps them responsible of doing the work. If the student had designed this project they could've been confused and lost on what needed to be done. Students could've also forgotten about the project and not be prepared for the first day of school. With having this guideline, teachers can leave their email so the student can have access to help if needed. Furthermore, the teacher can leave websites and databases that help provide the student with resources for this project. These sets of guidelines can also included the choices of all the topics. This keeps the teacher informed of what students might do and what the teacher should prepare for on the first day of school. Overall, having a guideline created supports the student and keeps the teacher organized for the upcoming year.
Although creating the summer project teacher-designed takes the freedom of choice from the students, the teacher-design allows for the topics to be educational and for the teachers to create a set of guidelines to support the students. The summer project is to help keep students continue learning during their break. Teacher-design keeps that idea in place, while students can mess around with it. It is a teachers job to teach and provide guidance and not for the students to teach themselves and stress themselves out. Teacher-design is the right way to go for the summer project.",,634,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

C12807C8F8D5,"In today's world, attending school can be a frustrating, mind-altering, and even distracting experience. There are a variety of factors in schools that can alter a students learning environment and cause them to lose focus. In large environments such as public schools, it is hard to stay on task with distractions at every corner. By making classes available from home, students are able to receive their learning in a non stressful way and get the education they deserve no matter the circumstance.
If students were allowed to attend classes from home, it would be very beneficial. Learning through technology would allow absent students and teachers to keep up with their work and even get ahead for absences in the future. For example, it is likely that most students will have occasional sick days during the school year. More often than not, kids are stuck between going to school feeling miserable, or staying home while missing new curriculum. This puts everyone in a bad position. However, it can be easily prevented by learning through hand held devices and communicating via technology.
In schools, many students can have a difficult time learning in busy environments. On top of that, those with learning disabilities can experience an even harder time, having affects on their grades and progress reports. Having a way to receive a less stressful education just might be the key to solving problems faced by less focused students and those faced with challenges. For instance, if someone is not able to complete their work due to distractions or factors in their environment, they should be able to have the opportunity to finish it outside of school and with the help of a teacher one-on-one through the use of technology.
Although it makes sense that some people might want to lean away from the combination of technology and learning, we are far too advanced not to use it. Advancements in technology would significantly help students who want a more personalized learning experience, and prefer to do their work in a quieter area.
In conclusion, the use of technology and online help would be very beneficial to students and their ability to learn. Factors such as planned and unplanned absences, learning challenges, and even lack of sleep can all contribute to difficulties in school. Being able to attend school from home would be a very good alternative to students struggling in school and allow them more chances to succeed.",,398,Distance learning,Independent,Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing.

CF5D5E42B72E,"The elecoral college is a group of electors that vote for the president and vice-president. ""The founding fathers established it in the Constitution as a compromise between election of the President by a vote in Congress and election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens."" (What Is The Electoral College, 1) They consist of 538 electors and you need a majority of 270 in order to be elected. They are wrong because they take the majority vote from the state's population and turn it into electoral votes (which is a ""winner-take-all"" system), and they can be anyone not holding public office (which can bring opinions into play, such as segregation).
The first and most important reason the electoral college is wrong is because they are based off of majority vote. This is bad because people who voted for the other party don't even get counted in the electoral votes. For instance, if there is a population of 1,000,000 people in a state and 600,000 of the people vote for one party, the majority goes to that party, but what about the other 400,000 people that voted for their party. And don't forget the 2000 election between Gore and Bush. Al Gore had the popular vote, yet lost the presidency. How does this make any sense? This leads to my final reasoning of why the electoral college is wrong...
The electoral college is wrong because the electors can be anyone not holding public office. Anyone not in public office could be basically anyone, even you or me. This can cause problems; such as opinion, racism, etc. They could want somebody to become president because of their skin color or their political party. For example, ""in 1960 segregationists in the Louisiana legislature nearly succeeded in replacing the Democratic electors with new electors who would oppose John F. Kennedy."" (The Indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong, 11) What if this happens again? We could have a president that nobody even elected for as president and our government could drastically change.
Even though the electoral college is wrong, there is one good thing about it. This is because the ""certainty of outcome"" (In Defense of the Electoral College: Five reasons to keep our despised method of choosing the President, 15). Which mean that usually the electoral votes and the popualr votes usually coincide with each other, where both are for the same person. For instance, ""in 2012's election Obama received 61.7 percent of the electoral vote and 51.3 percent of the popular vote"" (In Defense of the Electoral College: Five reasons to keep our despised method of choosing the President, 15). So this mean that for both electoral and popular he had the majority of the votes.
All in all, I agree with ""Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Bob Dole, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and the AFL-CIO"" with ""abolishing the electoral college!"" (In Defense of the Electoral College: Five reasons to keep our despised method of choosing the President, 15). Especially with the ""winner-take-all"" point of it. I think that the population should choose the president off of their opinions instead of being forgotten if their not in the majority vote. Everyone's vote should count.

530F622827DE,"Dear senator, I heard that there are people thinking on wanting to keep or change the electoral college.
well in the electoral college you have electors,senators and we use them for when we vote for our new president. But what I think you should do is change the electoral college as it is now. You want to kno why well here I will tell you what I think you should keep it.
First, the presidential election is held every four years so you can vote for the president you want to vote for. Also when you vote for your candidate you're actually voting for candidate's electors. Some people that are voting don't know that they're voting for their candidate's electors. In some states they have different decisions in the electoral college. Like for example in state conventions,state party's central commitee,and sometimes even the presidential candidates. Voters can get confused on these kinds of things in the electoaral college because the electoral college sometimes hasn't made a decicion yet on how or what they want to do or say.
Next, the electoral college is unfair to voters because of th winner take all system. In each the candidates don't spend their time in the states that have no chance of winning. On the year of 2000, the campaign of seventeen states didn't get to see the candidates at all including Rhode Island and South Carolina. Not even the largest media markets got to see a single campaign ad. But in ohio they probably have a chance on having a good argument for putting the presidency in the hands of a small amount of voters. These are some reasons why some people might want to change the electoral college because it's unfair to some states and people.
In addition,the they're outcomes in the electoral college like in the year of 2012 an outcome happened. It happened when they were voting for Romney or Obama. Obama recieved a 61.7 percent of the electoral votes compared to 51.3 percent of the the popular votes for him and Romney. That happened when the number of votes possibly was 538 thats an even number of votes. But having an even number is kind of good but it's higly an unlikely number. when that happens the state creates a landslide electoral vote victory the state.
The electoral college avoids the problem of elections in where no candidate recieves a high number of votes. Like with Nixon and Clinton they both had 43 percent of popular votes. In winning the electoral college 301 and 370 votes there is pressure for run-off elections when tere is no candidate wins.

Compared to their reasons on why studying Venus is a worthy pursuit, they gave a lot more reasons on why it is dangerous. They greatly showed how the conditions on Venus are far more extreme than anything humans are used to. On the other hand, they explained very little on how it would benefit us and showed how it's mostly just out of curiosity.
The author provided many, many dangers that the pursuit of studying Venus presents. The text states, ""These conditions [on venus] are far more extreme than anything humans encounter on earth... additional impediments like erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lightning strikes to probes seeking land on its surface."" The author seems to thoroughly describe the dangers of visiting Venus by describing the high temperatures, the high atmospheric pressure, and other things humans are not used to. They also point out how Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar system, and how no spacecraft has survived a landing on Venus for more than a few hours. This is all a lot more information provided on the dangers compared to the information provided on the benefits for studing Venus.
The author explained very little on how studying Venus is a worthy pursuit. The text states, ""Striving to meet the challenge presented by Venus has value, not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself, but also because human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors."" The author always seems to make a vague statement on how Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers but never provides any evidence. The author says the planet would gain us insight, but doesn't show how.

158386BFF749,"Phones and Cars Just Don't Mix
According to the National Council, there are 1.6 million crashes reported each year.(Snyder, 2019) The cause? Cell phone use. Each of these drivers were either texting, or using the cell phone in some way. Drivers shouldn't be permitted to use their cell phones in anyway while driving. The result of banning cell phones at the wheel would be a smaller number of deaths and injuries. This would also include hands free devices and phone calls. Anything that causes a distraction from the road included changing the playlist on your phone could cost you your life. However, there is a way that your phone could actually save your life.
On July 1st, 2018, Georgia passed a statewide ""hands free"" law. The law prohibits drivers to touch or even have the phone ""touch any part of their body"" while driving, this includes at stoplights too. The punishment for this, a 50 dollar fine and increases with each offence. The creation of this law came into effect after the ""no texting a driving"" law of 2010. People such as Representative John Carson say, ""It's completely ineffective."" The law is useless if making calls is still allowed.(Hafner, 2018) Since the hands free law was passed, the number of crashes reported because of cell phone use has decreased by two percent. Robert Hydrick, communications director for the Governor's Office of Highway Safety, points out that, ""Banning the cell phone isn't the cure, but it is a step in the right direction."" (Estep, 2018)
Knowing how much of an impact the cell phone has on drivers life, iPhone designer John Casey with the help of other engineers, designed a feature on the iPhone that could actually save your life while behind the wheel. The ""Do Not Disturb While Driving"" feature on the phone can sense when you are driving or in the car. Your phone proceeds to pop up an alert that gives you the option to turn on the do not disturb setting. When on, the feature mutes texts and calls or sometimes normal functions of the phone to cancel any distractions. I know you're probably thinking, what if its an emergency? Apple has that under control. If a message is sent to your phone, an option to send a prewritten message telling the person you are driving comes to the screen. If its an emergency, the sender can send it with ""urgency"" and the message will be bypassed to your screen. Since the creation of this setting, phone usage among drivers has decreased by 8%. (Baig, 2018)
As a result of enforcing the Georgia hands free law and features on the phone such as do not disturb, there will be a significant reduction of cell phone related car accidents in the near future. I strongly believe that in order to accomplish that goal, cell phones must be banned at the wheel. Our justice system must enforce the laws made to prevent more crashes from happening. As well as drivers using features on there phone to help them eliminate distraction. That text can wait.

Well, an extracurricular activity like a sport or a club would really be great for you!

Mars has peculiar weather conditions. They have dust storms. They dust gets whipped by wind. Mars also gets hit by meoters and rarely, astroids. An astroid hit Mars hard enough that a piece of it flew to the Earth. When Mars gets hit, it forms craters on the surface and can go deep into the ground. The wind could have possibly pushed dust into a crater and formed the face.

6854302C34C5,"The idea of not having the resposibility of driving has been wanted by many for years. It has been seen as a futuristic thing that could almost never happen. Now, the driverless car has been invented. Many will be pleased with this, but many will not. I, for one, am against driverless cars for several reasons. Some of those reasons are liability and cost.
One concern of driverless cars is liability. If a driverless car gets into a wreck, who should be held responsible? Some would say the car manufature and other would say the person in the vehicle. There are so many different type of situations that every situation would be different. I think that the car manufacture should be held responsible for the driverless car since they made the car, unless the person inside the vehicle had to take control. There will be controversy over every car accident.
Another concern is the cost that these cars will bring to every city. As said in the readin ""Driverless Cars Are Coming"", roads might have to be redone. This will cost thousands for many cities and states. If another city gets new roads before another then a driverless car could not go into that city. That may be the place the passanger is wanting to go also. Producing these cars would cost more also. More satellites would have to be made to accomidate all of the driverless cars, too. If there are too many driverless cars out and the system fails, that will cost thousands upon thousands of dollars.

9655269C8247,"No one wants to wach ads but wouldnt they be more intresting if there was a way they could relate to us more. In the article ¨Making Mona Lisa Smile¨by Nick D´Alto he talks about a way that a coding system can read our emoitions.
In the text they talk about a program called Facial Action Coding System that will use our emotions to make our experience with technology better.
The technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is valiable because ads can be more personal, it can help keep students more intrested, and can make animated faces more expressive.
Ads are an example on how the Facial Action Coding System can be valuable. In the text it states ¨For example, if yoy smile when a Web ad appears on your screen, a similar ad might follow. But if you frown, the next ad will be dirffent.¨ (D´Alto).
So if a student is doing somthing on a computer and an ad pops up for a math game and he dosnt like it the next ad could change to a math game that he does help.
The ads coud help the student find a game that can help him learn. Ads and keeping the student mare intrested are ways the Facial Action Coding System is valuble.
Keeping the students intrested is also another way the Facial Action Coding System can be benifical to a student. In the text it says ¨A classroom computer coud recognize when a student is becoming confused¨ (Dr. Huange).
If it could reconize that then it could modifiy the lession.
The lession would be better for a student and also it would be like having a teacher right next to you teaching you in the way you learn best.
Keeping the students intrested is anothe way the Facial Action Coding System can be valiuble but there is one more example.
The Facial Action Coding System can make animated faces more expressive.
The author states ¨ The same technology can make computer-animated faces more expressive¨ (D´Alto).
When taking an online corse if a animated faces could be more expressive it would make the student more involved.
Also it could make the student feel like they have some one to help right next to them.
This is how making animated faces more expressive can help students in a classroom.
This is how ads can be more personal, it can help keep students more intrested, and can make animated faces more expressive help support the claim that the use of emotinal reading technology can be valuable for a student.
By making things more personal.

I think cell phones should be allowed in school but not during class. Policy one is the one i agree with for many reasons. One reason is that phones can be a way for education. Now phones can go on the internet, and check your email. If the teacher asked for a certain thing in school and next hour was lunch. He/She would be able to go on the internet on their phone and find the information. Cell phones can also be a way to communicate if u need help in spare time. You could call up your friend and ask them for help if they are maybe in a different class. When the phones are off in class they do not create a disturbance to other people. So they do not get their cell phones taken away. It also can just help them if they needed a ride home because something came up. If you needed to stay after school for example, you could call your parents or a friend during lunch or spare time and then nothing to worry about.

Principal,
Most people would argues that allowing students to have their cell phones would be a distraction well no not really and it would be a good thing not to really use a cell phone but to be able to have it just in case let me tell you why.
1. like me many students do after school activities such as sports or academic UIL activities and these require many hours of long hard work well after practice for theses events is over you need a ride over and since the majority of the student body doesn't have cars we need a way to contact our parents so if we weren't allowed to bring our cell phones to school we would have to use a school telephone and that could take a long time. For example in our coaches office their is one phone that allow us to us so imagine if 45 kids trying using that one phone it would really be a hassle. Plus most kids that have cell phone don't even get them out during the day so what it hurt allowing us to have our cell phones.
2. What if their was a intruder on campus wouldn't you want he police to get their as fast as they could well if their kids had their cell phones the police would about a hundred responses in about a minute same thing with a fire or any other emergency.

733CDF1B481A,"Dear principal,
I consider that community service is a great that you have came up with.
there fore there is many great reasons that community service is a very good for us. first of all it helps kids show responsibly for there selves, also its a great way of showing friendship among each other and there fore it a good thing for kids to be getting started if ever in there life they become some thing.
To begin with, community service shows your kids how to grow up and start being responsible among their acts as well as others. that's a way they will learn how too be in time in places they need to be. For example helping a kid in there home work after school that's showing the time they need to be there and also show them the things they have too do. But also responsibility is not a harm is a very good thing that can help you and other in becoming a better person in the future .
Second of all doing community service may not be a choice but look at the things it can get you to. Friend ship is another way of doing community service because while you doing community service you are also helping that person in things they need but was hard too do because of that person not volunteered in helping them. friend ship may be not the easiest thing for some one because of them suppose of being a nerd or something. also there you may find true friend ship because other friends are true in becoming your friend.
Lastly also doing community service can make you set a great leader among yourself. There fore you doing community service would stop you from doing bad things. For example say you afraid to tell your friend in saying no well just tell them i have too go my community service and help others maybe they would laugh but you will feel so good inside of not doing what they had wanted you to do.
To sum this up, rather for you doing something bad you can be doing a great deed for others in the world also there's ain't a lot of kids that are able of going too school but why not you be the one to help them out in that.

Well do to a brand new algorithum made by Dr. Paull Eckman, creator of the FACS(Facial Action Coding System), you can finaly be exited about learning about greek and latin roots. This program can detect how you are felling and in what precentages. In the following paragraphs they will talk about if we should or should not read students faces to make the classroom experience more enjoyable.
Well to start off the technology has decoded the Mona Lisa smile. You know they one the smile that seams somewhat omanis when you look at it. well this program has determend that the paintings famous smile is mostly happy. The spcifics of the smile are as follows she's 83 precent happy, 9 precent disgusted, 6 precent fearful, and 2 precent angry. This computer software known as the FACS looks adn all 44 major mussles and then makes a decison based on that. How can this be helpfull to schools.
Now if you actualy like doing greek and latin roots in your english class you may not need this new technology, However you may not like another class like math classes. If we start doing eveything on computers like all of our lessons for example we will probably need this to keep us from not falling asleep during the class.
If we do end up adopting this new software into our computers it could make us have more fun lessons and make the classes end faster, well do to preception. If the technology could be used with just a webcam then you could just look at your students face and see if they are bored or off task and make the lesson more enjoyable. We could just look at the precentages of the kids facial expressions like how they found out how the Mona Lisa's smile was mostly happy.

There is other to life then school and activities. Students should have the ability to choose what they want to do in the extra time they have. Schools already take half of the students time with going to school and homework .I disagree that students must have an extracurricular activity because they could learn a new language, do better in school, and spend time with family and friends.
First, students can learn another language besides their own. First, the language that they pick helps them with their applecation to colloge and in the real word. For example, it is more likely for a student that have two or three languages to be accepted in a colloge, unlike the student that only knows one. Second, students could communicate with others around the world. For example, if they learned Spanish, they can talk to others in Spain or around other that speak the same language. Third, they could be the only one that learned that language in your class or school. In conclusion, these were the advantges of learning a new language.
Second, teenagers that are struggling in school could take their time and have an advantage to be better in school. First, they could study for their coming exams and be able to focus on them. For example, students could make study groups or study buddies for studying better. Second, after school students can get extra help from their teachers. For example, they would only focus on the students weak part on the subject. Third, they could make up for the extra work they missed from their classes. For example, a student is sick or had a docters appointment they could make up that work at home after school. In conclusion, students would do better in school with the extra time they have.
Third, we need to spend time with family and friends. First, help your family with work around the house. For example, help your mom cook for dinner,or help your dad fix his computer,or help your siblings with homework. Second, you could hang out with your old friends. For example, go to mall,watch a movie ,or go to their house. Third, get to know eachother better. For example, play Never Have I Ever, Truth or Dare,and many more fun games you could play.

2F602EBE7400,"To begin my explanation on informing fellow citizens about the advantages of limiting car usage is that cars are changing the way we live today by harming the ecosystem, harming us in ways that we dont even realize such as health and financially.
Many have been stunned by the effects that our vehicles cause to our world making it a less substainable place for wildlife, us and our children polluting the air we breathe increasing the percentage of smog that over takes our fresh air and taking down natural areas for our doings such as highways and new roads for example europe has a day of no car use for a whole day because of the greenhouse effect and for that smog is starting to decrease as to congestion went down 60 percent in the capital of france, after five days of intensifying smog. But diesel fuel was blamed for the smog because of the tax policy that favors deiesel over gasoline. deisels make up to 67 percent of vehicles in france. Paris has more smog than any other european capitals but not only is it affecting europe, beijing china which is said to be one of the most polluted cities on earth. Much harm is being done to our wolrd but many of us are to blind to even notice that is why we have to make a change in limiting car usage the facts are staring at us in the face and we have the power to make a difference.
The way our vehicles are harming us physically is making us more lazy to even jog a couple blocks without grasping for air like a fish out of water, turning us into obese unhealthy individuals. Many people prefer using cars to get to a destination which is in walking distance than to use their own legs which is pathetic. For those that dont mind the stroll are making the difference for example, A study last year found that driving by young people decreased 23 percent between 2001 and 2009 for that being many people getting a license is not a priority and by that being those people organize their lifestyle to have a social life around them they can walk to work, the grocery store, and home by not owning a vehicle making their lives more healthier and social. The individuals that were mentioned earlier are the opposite they are harming their health by sitting in a car for a couple of minutes or hours which could lead to a chain of events as in stay home all day watch television,become more social through technology but be less social outside and become more of an obese person.
Many people are having problems paying off there cars because of it being too expensive causing them to have financial issues making them live in their car for not having enough money to even buy a place to live or eat and by that it causes them to lose their car which would make them homeless which would have them struggling even more in life with all the situations that is going on in todays world and for that being persuading people to buy the ",,536,Car-free cities,Text dependent,Write an explanatory essay to inform fellow citizens about the advantages of limiting car usage.

4CD7E8A7BA22,"Cell phones while driving essay
Are cell phones a necessity while driving? They do account for a lot of distracted driving accidents leading to serious injuries and fatalities. So, the real question is, is it worth it? No, I believe cell phones should not be in use while driving.
There are multiple reasons why phones are a liability while driving more than an asset. I want to cover the most important reasons. First, distracted driving, specifically with phones leads to drivers being 57% more likely to be in an accident. That's more than half likely to potentially be in harms ways than before if you just simply put your phone down. Statistics also show that using your phone while driving decreases brain activity, focus, and depth perception by 37%, which are all necessary factors required to drive safely. Many people lose their lives, and risk others lives due to cell phone activity such as texting, playing music, phone calls, and more. This could be your life, or your sons or your daughters or anyone you love. All it takes its to put your phone down and wait!
Cell phone use while driving is even more common in the youth. Teens are 79% more likely to pick up their phone or any device while driving, then adults. The number 1 cause of teen deaths are motor vehicle accidents, majority caused by distracted driving. Phones being the primary source of these distractions cause horrific fatalities. Parents and guardians should strongly advise their children not to drive with their phone on, authority figures such as government officials, should ban any use of devices such as cell phones, to prevent as many accidents as possible, and save lives.
So is the cell phone worth it? Is it worth your life? Absolutely not, cell phones should not be used while driving, all it takes is to put the phone down, save your life, and others.

In Vauban Germany residents of an upper class community have done away with ninety precent of car driving, having only two places to park on the outskirts of the community. This has proven that by elimatating most car useage it makes people happier and less stressed out and helps provent the poplution that is cause by cars. ""I'm much happier this way"", said Hiedrun Walter a resident off this lavish community.
When you hear the word Smug what are your first reactions? It is this nasty poluted air that has trapped car emissions leaving a blaket of greyish air this is caused by ""cold nights and warm days.

9B36BEC03810,"In a world of large cities and distant suburbs, transportation is crucial, but is personal transportation truly necessary? Shouldn't there be a way of getting from point A to point B without expending an unecessary amount of harmful gases that could one day bring around our demise? As specified by Elisabeth Rosenthal, Robert Duffer, and Andrew Selsky the answer to these questions is yes. Yes, there is hope for a healthier future without the use of BMWs, Toyota Corollas, Mercedes, and other modes of personal transportation that pollute the Earth. These answers have been noticed by our World's leaders and they are finally taking initiative to save our planet.
According to Elisabeth Rosenthal, writer for the New York Times, Germany is one of the many countries beginning to take notice. This is evident in the building of a small suburb called Vauban where ""life goes on without cars"". Although approximately 30 percent of the residents in Vauban do own a car, it is clear that the 5,500 people living in this small town are happier residing in a place where vehicles do not crowd the streets. As said by a mother living in Vauban ""When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way"".
This idea of a ""car reduced"" community is not only seen in Germany but might very well soon be found in other countries such as the United States. These ideas today might just be seen by the public as what they are: ideas. However, serious action must be taken now. Although personal transportation might be seen as a necessity by your average citizen, it is not. Personal vehicles are a luxury that we use at, no only our own risk, but at the risk of everyone forced to breathe the intoxicating fumes of these polluting machines. According to recent data, 12 percent of green house gas emmisions in Europe come from passenger cars but this number is not nearly as shocking as that of the United States: 50 percent!
As stated by Robert Duffer and Andrew Selsky, writers for the Chicago Tribune and Seattle Times, Paris and Bogota have come to understand the consequences of the use of personal cars and are taking small steps to better the circumstances brought on to the human population due to the car pollution. In Paris, however, the city had to undergo a hard blow from reality for the french government to understand how crucial this change is. After suffering near record pollution, Paris enforced a partial ban on the driving of passenger cars in order to clear the air. If the ban was not respected by an individual, he/she would be forced to pay a 22-euro fine. Although there were a few who did not follow the terms of the ban, the majority of the people did comply and the smog soon cleared.
For Bogota, however, the ban of passenger cars for a single day has been seen as more of a holiday. The people of this city have come to enjoy this somewhat stress free day away from cars. According to the Bogota mayor, Antanas Mockus, event the rain has not stopped people from participating in this day. This day is not as small of a step as you might think however. For it is a program set to spread to various countries where, for a single day a year, people will bike, hike, roler blade, etc. In other words, everything they MUST do to get from point A to point B.
Finally, as countries around the world begin to take initiative towards the better of our planet, the United States, one of the world's super powers is starting on it's path towards recovery. In the past years, data has come to support the fact that there truly is a shift in the American ""way of life"". As seen in recent studies, Americans are buying fewer cars , driving less and getting fewer licenses as times goes on. Although the United States peaked in miles driven in 2005 it is evident that, with time, that amount gradually declined and hit a low in April 2013 where the miles driven per person was nearly 9 percent below the peak. As a cause of this sudden hit on the use of cars researchers are beginning to ask: could the United States truly be entering a new era away from the pollution of passenger vehicels or is this just another phase?
Passenger vehicles and the gases they create could very well be the demise of our existence on Earth. This is unless, as a human poopulation, we begin to take action now. Although scientists everywhere have stressed the negative impact on the Earth brought on by cars, people are blind to see that these vehicles are not a necessity but rather a luxury. For this, it is crucial that countries and leaders around the world follow what others have done and begin to enforce the protection of the planet's health and ensure our survival as a species.

0230E2A9E656,"Friends, learning, fun, extracurricular activities provides all of these things. Extracurricular activities such as sports, the student council, and many other clubs are a great way for students to make friends and learn many skills. Many schools have extracurricular activities but not all students will attend them. Some students may not have time, friends to go with, or they just don't want to go. You may feel left out at first when joining a new club, but eventually you will make new friends and have tons of fun learning many skills. I agree with the decision that enforces students to participate in at least one extracurricular activity because they will make new friends, have lots of fun, and learn important skills.
Students should be enforced to participate in extracurricular activities because they will make new friends. In a new school not everybody makes friends right away, so extracurricular activities can be a great way to find friends with similar interests. There are many different clubs and activities filled with people of similar interests. These interests help you bond with your peers as you do activities related to the interest you share. Such as in many sports teams, you won't know all your teammates instantly. As the season goes on you will begin to learn more about them as you bond with them. Teams can never be great if the players always fight with each other. You must learn to work together as a team to win and in doing so you will become much closer to each other. At the end of the season you will realize, the teammates who started out complete strangers turn out to being some of your best friends. Extracurricular activities can be a great way for many students to find many friends while bonding in their similar interests.
Students should be enforced to participate in extracurricular activities because they will have lots of fun. As there are many different extracurricular activities, surely you will find one that suits your interests. Instead of doing these activities alone you will have friends to do them with. Doing things by yourself isn't always the best. Sometimes the things you loved might not be fun, but when your with friends they will make things interesting. It won't be the same boring game with the same story line every time. Things will be different, interesting, there will be change, and you will have more fun. You might have been the best at a video game at your old school, but as you will be introduced to new people in the club you might find someone on a similar level. The old spark that died out is back to life as you want to improve. The game that became too easy it was no longer fun, now has some challenge and your interest is back. Extracurricular activities can be a great place to have tons of fun renewing your interests, finding new interests, and spending time with friends.
Students should be enforced to participate in extracurricular activities because they can learn many important and essential skills. Extracurricular activities provide a way for you to learn and enhance many skills. As you begin to learn the skills needed for each activity you may struggle to improve, but your peers are there for you. They can provide useful information and tips on how they learned these skills and improved. If you were already great at the activity you may find rivals and competition. Extracurricular activities can help you discover others as talented as you. The rivalries that build up help you improve as you strive to become better than everyone. As you strive to become the best, other people with work to become better than you. Furthermore, the whole community will be improving and learning new skills. Extracurricular activities can be a great place to learn new skills and enhance the skills that were learned through rivalry, competition, and help from peers.
Extracurricular activities are essential to students as they help create friendships, are a great place to have fun, and teach many essential skills. Extracurricular activities bring friends together with the similar interest that they share. Those interests bring joy and fun as they do them with their friends.

F44662214D2B,"Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break. There is an interesting debate around this topic. Some people believe that the teacher should be the one to design these summer projects. other people believe that the students should design their own summer project. Teachers should be the ones to design these summer projects because they are the ones who know what is going to help the students get prepared for the next school year.
Teachers are much more responsible than their students which makes them better candidates for designing summer projects. Teachers are more mature than their students. Teachers know what the students are going to need for the future. Teachers would know what would be the best thing to do for their students. Teachers overall are best choice when debating weather or not they should be the ones to design summer projects.
Some people may still argue that students should be the ones to create their own summer projects because of reasons like, ""It's their summer project, let them do what they want"", or, ""They should get to choose how they want to learn over the summer"". While their may be some ground behind these claims, giving free choice to students like this is like giving a car to a child. They don't know what they are doing and it's just going to hurt them.

C0948D00BDF1,"Dear Senator,
The topic of the Electoral college is a hot one, and the idea of whether of not to adjust it is contravercial. Many citizen disagree with the process while many are in favor. What should we do? We should change the Electoral College. The voting is based more on quantity instead of quality, and the voting is not coming from the citizen's directly, making the risk of an unfaithful candidate too high and the actual voting less popular and more electoral. When one state-or even one person- could change the whole ball game that is the Presidential Election, then what does that mean for our democracy?
While many will argue that it is a fair way to vote, the Electoral College has many flaws. First off, the candidates are focusing on more power and higher tallying states to get them through the election than everyone as a whole. For example, if you were a presidential candidate would you spend more time trying to sway California, with its whopping 55 electoral votes, or Montanna, with a teeny tiny 3 electoral votes? The candidates are not being considerate of ALL the American citizens, but instead the ones that they think will lead them to victory. This is not what the election is all about. The election is more focused on the popular vote of few states with many inhabitants than it is on many states with few citizens.
""Under the Electoral College system, voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president."" (As stated in
""The Indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses are wrong""
). Being that this true, why do we call it the ""Presidential Election"" instead of the ""Electors Election?"" Electors claim to be faithful to their candidates but sometimes this is not the case. If a member of the group is unfaithful to their candidate, it could unsettle the whole election, meaning that the United States as a whole would have to pay for the electors actions. This is not how voting was meant to be. Our slogan is ""We the People,"" not ""We the Electors.""
Now, I know what you're thinking, ""Why would we change this system? It is already established and has worked for many years."" In order to move forward as a nation we as a whole need to make changes sometimes. Just think what it would be like today if segregation-an established rule and law- was not questioned. Or even if the settlers of the United States had not questioned our former mother country and broke away. We would not even be the establishment we are today if we did not question established rules or traditions. The Electoral College is nothing more than a system that needs to be reevaluated, putting the popularity if the candidate in clearer perspective.
To recap, The Electoral College does not include the popularity of the candidates over official influences. The states are not being counted equally and electors control the electon overall. In order to have a more successful government and a more included population, the Electoral College simply needs to be reevaluated and changed to meet the popularity standards of our country if we are to ever advance.

8F40BA1ECB08,"Everyday, after school, I get my sister off the bus and watch her until my mom returns from work. I wouldn't be able to both do an extracurricular activity and watch her. Juggling both my own personal responsibilites and an extracurricular, on top of schoolwork, would be very stressful for me. I can't be expected to abandon by responsibilities for a school club. There are many reasons why I disagree with this dicision such as, people not being able to afford whatever they may be interested in, the students that stuggle with social anxiety and things lie it and the students who are already committed to something else after school.
One of the reasosn I disagree is that there are many actvities that would require money. There are students who are interested in these activities but won't be able to afford it. Those people who aren't able to afford it shouldn't have to pick something else just because they don't have the money. I know many kids who would be interested in sports but aren't able to pay the fees and by things like cleats, mitts, bats etc. Other actvities may do competitions which also require fees for them to be able to compete in them.
Secondly, there are many kids who struggle with social anxiety and other mental related things that could stop them from participating. Staying safe is a school rule and that rule doesn't go with just physical saftey but it also means that students should be and feel safe mentally too. Pushing them to do this could cause them to have an axiety attack or effect how they're dealing with their anxiety. Forcing a person that doesn't feel comfortable in social situations to participate in a group club is disregarding their feelings and their feelings should be taken into account.
Lastly, students may have their own responsibilities outisde of school. There are people, like me, who help watch their younger siblings after school. There are students who have a job that they have to go to work at school. Many people who go to our school already feel stressed trying to maintain good grades in the classes that their taking. Making a student do an extracuricular activity will just add to the stress that they may already be dealing with which can effect their emotional, mental and physical state.

CFDCEE813DF6,"Have you ever been forced to participate in something that you never wanted to have a part in? Well, this same situation will become a reality for many students at my school very soon. You see, Mrs. Generic_Name, the principal of my school, has decided that each student must participate in an extracurricular activity. This means that a student has to do an activity regardless if they want to or not. If students are required to do this, then they will not be able to complete their mandatory after school obligations, spend precious time with their family, and they will have more stress added to their life.
First off, since most extracurricular activities take place after school, students will not be able to complete their obligations waiting for them at home. For example, many students will no longer be able to watch their younger siblings until their parents return home from work. As a result, parents will need to find someone to watch their younger children. There are also quite a few students who have the responsibility of taking care of their family pets once they are finished with the school day. A few of the tasks that come with this responsibility are feeding the animals, taking them to the bathroom, and exercising them. Along with taking care of their younger siblings and their pets, students also need to complete their chores. So as you can see, it is extremely important that students are able to go straight home after school, instead of staying after for an extra hour or two, so they can fulfill these obligations.
Secondly, participating in an extracurricular activity will pry into the limited and precious time that students are able to spend with their family. For example, most adolescents get home from school around four o'clock in the afternoon, and many of their parents get home around five in the afternoon. A majority of families eat dinner between five and six at night. Once you clean the kitchen up from dinner, that only leaves about four hours to spend with your family. Depending on when the students' activity takes place, that suspends the amount of time a family spends together to around three hours. That is hardly enough time to do anything together! A famous family counselor once said, ""Your child is a newborn for a month, an infant for a year, a toddler for two, an elementary schooler for six years, a preteen for three, and a teenager for five. Time is precious, so don't waste it."" Children are at school more than they are at home. The more time that is added for school, the less time that is given for family.
Lastly, when students take on an extracurricular activity, they will have more stress added to their life. For example, if Generic_Name decided to write for the sports section of our school paper, he would need to go to every basketball, football, and baseball game. Then, he would need to write a detailed report about each of the games that he goes to. Since basketball games are every Monday, the football games are on Friday nights, and baseball games are on Saturdays and Sundays, Generic_Name would be writing at least four reports a week. That doesn't even include if any of the teams make it to the State Championships. If another student decided to join Drama, then he/she would need to attend at least seven weekday and two weekend practices a month, four dress rehearsals, and all five performances. Plus, the student would need to stay after each performance to help clean the set and put it back into order for the next night. Along with all this extra work of being in an extracurricular activity, students also have to complete their never ending work load from school. With all of this combined, there is enough stress to give these students severe health problems.
In conclusion, being required to take part in an extracurricular activity will result in students not being able to complete important after school obligations, losing precious time to spend with family, and having extra stress added to their life. Having the activities are a great idea, but the problem is that Mrs. Generic_Name is requiring them. If she allowed the activities to be optional, then families wouldn't have to find someone to watch their younger children, those who chose not to participate would be able to spend more time with their families, and there would be a lot less stress for the students to handle. From what you have read, I hope that you will agree with me and take a stance on my side against Mrs. Generic_Name's decision for participating in a mandatory, extracurricular activity.

Ow dear Mr Principal I think there should be a grope that can help community service for example every student that gets in any trouble should get sentence to community serves for school . We can make this school a better place for all students , and if we do this then the school will be clean and all the bad students that cause trouble will have to clean 1 hour after school depending how they did .

3BC19FD6B29F,"All students want to enjoy their long awaited summer vacation to the fullest. Schools; however, feel that it is necessary for students to complete summer assignments to ensure that they do not forget what they learned over the summer. With the help of these projects, students will be better prepared for the topics that they will learn in the upcoming school year. The schools entrust the duty of designing these projects to the teachers because of their experience, but that does not mean that they know how to make the projects fit for the students. Knowing what works best for the students is up to the students and the students alone. Summer projects should be student designed because they will have more interest in their work, they will learn to be more independent, and the students will have a less stressful break.
Some argue that summer projects should be teacher designed because they know much more about the course than the students. An English teacher, that will be teaching students about the Age of Reason, assigns her students books that were written from that time and reflect those ideas. The books chosen by the teacher will help introduce her students to their new course. However, the students have no interest at all in the books that were assigned to them, and they have no will to read them since it is summer break. It is painful to finish a book that one is not interested in before a deadline. Their summer is ruined by pushing through these books, but if the students choose their books, they will be more inclined to read them.
Summer projects should be student designed because the assignments will be more interesting for them to complete. For world history class, the students assign themselves a project to write about any event in world history and show its significance. By choosing their own event, the students can figure out what topic interests themselves the most. The project is not designed to work best for the entire class, but to be specific to the interests of each individual student. The students understand each other the most, and they know how summer projects make them feel. They know how to make summer projects more productive over the summer. The for people to design projects will help them become more independent.
Summer assignments should be student designed because they help students become more independent people. A student is given the opportunity to create his projects meant for him during the summer, and he learns to complete work specific to him all on his own. When the project is designed by the student and for the student, that is the only person that knows how that project should be completed. He alone reaches success through the process of designing and finishing his own work. By creating his projects at a young age, he learns to rely more on himself, and he will become much more successful in the future. When the project is designed, the students also plans it to create a less stressful summer for themselves.
Summer projects should be student designed because their summer will be less stressful with assignments that they know more of. A student decides to write an essay on the impacts of the Roaring Twenties, her favorite time period, so she is able to plan when which parts of the essay will be completed and go at her own pace. Since she is the designer of the project, she understands how long the essay will take her. She enjoys working on this essay more because it is a topic that she likes, so it will not feel like it is work to her. Her time will not be spent dreading the assignment and stressing over a deadline all summer; rather, she will have more fun and work with a more relaxed environment with a project meant for her.
Assignments created by the students for summer vacation are more beneficial than assignments made by the teachers because students will be more invested in their projects, they form more self directed lives, and experience a more relaxed vacation. With projects that draw the attention of the students, they do not feel that it is work that they are just being forced to do. Their designing of the projects gives them the same benefit of learning without the cost ruining their break. It is up to the students to take the responsibility of advocating for this change in summer assignments. They can gain the support of their fellow students to reach out to their county Board of Education through letters and board meeting to express the need for change.",,775,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

82858C701793,"Over the years cars have been known to be a very useful for transportation and to get people to their destination. But not everybody thinks cars should be used as much or at all, for many reasons. But there is only two main reasons why people disagree that cars are needed, that is pollution and people have less exercise. Because of these two reasons companies,programs and even President Obama are trying to reduce the use of cars. They are trying to figure out a way to help both the environment and peoples well being.
Pollution seems to be increasing over time because of cars. For that reason is why companies, programs and Obama are trying to decrease the use of cars. For example Obama has goals to curb the United States greenhouse gas emissions to help the pollution go down. America has so much love for vehicles, but studies show that america's love affair with its cars has been decreasing. Year by year americans seem to buy buying fewer cars, driving less and getting fewer licences. Since 2005 the number of miles driven as dropped steadily.
Most people see cars as the easier and quicker way to get to where they want to get. Because of these reason is why people dont exercise and they are not has healthy and fit as they should be. Bogota, Columbia has a program that is set to spread to other countries. The program has made a car-free day where people dont use their cars all day. they either hike, ride a bike, skat, took buses and even walked to their destination. I honestly think that is a great program because I dont think people should always rely on there cars to get where they have to. doing all of these things helps people because that is healthier and it less pollution as well.

There are so many different ways to gets to your destination that are better for you and the environment you live in. There are great programs all around the United States that are trying to decrease the use vechicles which is slowly working as the year goes by.

243950E747B0,"In 1976, NASA's Viking 1 spacecraft captured a picture that looked like the resemblence of a human face. NASA showed the picture to the public and it definitely drew attention to Mars. Some conspiracy theorists believe that the Face Viking 1 found is evidence of life on Mars, but NASA later came out and said that the face was actually just a landform, a mesa. I believe that the Face is a natural landform because, a clearer picture confirms this, it is similar to landforms of the American West, and NASA wouldn't hide that life was found on Mars becuase it would benefit them.
The Face was not created by aliens, becuase a clearer picture taken in 2001 shows it's just a landform. In the article it states, ""New high-resolution images and 3D altimetry from NASA's Mars Global Survey spacecraft reveal the Face on Mars for what it really is: A mesa."" NASA used their best equipment to make sure they would be accurate when discovering what the Face really was. Also, in the article it states, ""And so on April 5, 1998, when Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia for the first time, Michael Malin and his Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) team snapped a picture ten times sharper than the original Viking photos."" Sometimes when you see something at first it looks like something odd, but when you take a closer look it turns out to be something ordinary; that's what happened in this situation.
Another reason, why the Face wasn't created by aliens, is becuase it's just like any other landform. In the article it states, ""What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa-landforms common around the American West. 'It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho,' says Garvin."" Like I said previously, the Face turned out to be a landform, and the landform itself isn't something specatacular, it's just an ordinary landform. It is something that is common, that just formed like the mountains and plateaus in North America today.
Finally, a formation created by aliens would benefit NASA, so why would they try to hide that. If it was made by aliens and there really was life on Mars, wouldn't NASA be excited and telling the public about it, since it would promote their company? The answer is yes, they would, which is why I believe they are telling the truth that it is just a butte or mesa. The article states, ""Some poeple think that NASA would rather hide, say conspiracy theorists. Meanwhile, defenders of the NASA budget wish there was an ancient civilation on Mars."" This proves my point that NASA would be be thrilled and want to tell everyone about life on Mars, if there really was.
In conclusion, I think the Face found on Mars was just simply a natural landform. There is more evidence that proves this than there is that proves it was made by aliens. Taking a closer look at it you can clearly tell it is just a landfrom, it is similar to landforms of the American West, and proof of life on Mars would benefit NASA, so they wouldn't hide that information.

FFF1442D6698,"Every student looks forward to summer break, it's all about sunshine and going out for fun. After a long time, they are able to stop focusing on school for quite some time. Although,it is relieving to take a break, students tend to forget some knowledge once they have to return to school. This is because of the summer they just spent doing nothing that's school related. For this reason, summer projects are created. It helps students to continue the learning process and keep a hold of their knowledge. Some may argue that these summer projects should be designed by the students, others may say they should be designed by the teachers. These summer projects would end up better if designed by the teachers because teachers already know the materials that need to be learned and they can challenge their students' abilities.
Furthermore, students aren't going to be enthusiastic about a summer project, most kids these days enjoy doing anything that doesn't involve school. It's more of an obligation if they have to do summer projects. So, asking students to design a project for themselves would be like asking them to stop using their phones forever. They won't want to do it because students don't like extra work. This is when teachers come in to play, they are more knowledgeable. Teachers have spent so much time learning a certain subject. They can easily set an objective for the students because it's what they've trained for. Teachers are also aware of what needs to be learned, while students are used to being told what to learn. This makes it easier for teachers to create a project. Students, on the other hand, would sit there clueless not knowing what to create nor how to. How would they know what they need to accomplish learning from creating their own project? It would be too difficult and it's time consuming not knowing where to start. Teachers are more organized and well prepared for creating assignments, activities, and projects. It wouldn't be smart to have the students create the project knowing students are less responsible and less organized with completing tasks.
Now, some people may think: ""If students create their own project then they would do it,"" but students would rather create something to their own benefit. What I mean by this is, students will come up with a task that's easy enough to complete. Nothing challenging, time consuming, and well organized would be taken in to consideration. They don't want to create something that makes them have to think outside the box. They'd rather keep it simple. So, it's best if teachers take that responsibility. A teacher can tell what their students' weaknesses and strengths are. Which helps them create something that can be a challenge to the students' mind yet, be able to be completed as well. This will allow the student to think outside the box and be able to understand what the teacher is trying to teach them while the summer break is taking place. Once they return to school they will already have that knowledge with them because they learned it over the summer and got a hold of the lesson that needed to be learned.
To sum it up, summer projects should be designed by teachers and not students. This should be done this way because teachers have a better understanding as to what to do and how to create a project with objectives. Students are used to following instructions in order to learn, so having them create their own project to learn would be difficult to actually accomplish learning a certain topic. The teachers can set the expectations and what needs to be learned by the students;therefore, allowing them to easily follow along and complete the task. Students don't like doing work during the summer, so asking them to create work for themselves would take a lot out of them.

791E6770644C,"Dear
Principal,
Cell phones in schools has been a controversial policy since cell phones became widely used by today's youth. Cell phones should be allowed in school during breaks and free time for the following reasons: students would be able to call for help during an emergency, students would be less likely to use them in class, and because there is no logical reason in not allowing them.
Imagine this scenario: an unknown and man walks into a classroom holding a firearm and says that anybody who yells will be killed. Students with out cell phones available would be unable to call for help in anyway. If the students had cell pones they would be able to quickly text there parents or another trusted person about the situation and ask them to call the police. Cell phones would greatly help averting a possible tragedy like this.
If students were allowed to use cell phones during lunch or passing periods they would be much less likely to do so in class. This is because the majority of students who use phones during class are sending short messages reminding another person of something or are sending messages to their parents telling them to pick them up because they are sick. These messages are usually not very urgent so most students would be glad to wait a few minutes until class is over if it meant they had no risk of getting in trouble.
The most important reason for allowing cell phones in school while students are at lunch or passing period is because there is no logical reason not to allow it. Students would not be able to cheat on tests if they could not use them during class. Although they could ask a student who already took the test what the questions were like they could also just as easily ask them in person.
There is absolutely no benefit to banning cell phones outside of class.
In conclusion students should be allowed to use cell phones during breaks because it could help students reach police during a tragedy, they would be less likely to use phones during class, and there is no reason that students should not be allowed to.
Although this has been a controversial topic for years, this is easily the most logical rule regarding cell phones in school and should be used immediately.
Sincerely, STUDENT_NAME ",,412,Cell phones at school,Independent,"Your principal is reconsidering the school's cell phone policy. She is considering two possible policies:
Policy 1: Allow students to bring phones to school and use them during lunch periods and other free times, as long as the phones are turned off during class time.

442CFAE61CC3,"So we heard that our principal is going to let all the students to participate in one activity of their choice. But I have both reasons that might go alright or not. Lets just say if I agree or disagree with the principal decision and hopefully that our principal has a good feeling about this decision.
Lets start with a positive reasons. First responsibility, if the students get a activity that takes a lot of serious responsibility like for example serve on the student council or working on the yearbook, activity like that those have real responsibility to take care of. Next is not knowing it was the students talent, all activity will fill up very quickly and if any teacher puts a student that is not their favorite class they will notice that their very talented on a activity that they didn't like. Last positive reason overwhelmed, the student will get overwhelmed and sometimes is alright but at the end they still love the class.
Second, start with the negative reasons. It won't be their favorite if a student want to be a class so bad but then a teacher decides to put him/her to different class it's likely that the student wont be liking the class not a bit. Overwhelming, it's going to the same thing but the opposite its almost the same topic as the last reason of not liking the class and overwhelmed is the part cause of not liking the class which lead to our third last negative reason, dropping out its most likely that they gonna drop out the class it will get so stress and overwhelmed that the student decides to quit and that lead to have a no responsiblilty in life.
So I do agree with principal student or people need to have responsibility in life and without it theres going to be no job for that person who decided to drop of the activity they got asigned.

A29350919975,"Dear Principal,
Hello, I am writing this letter to you today just to give you my perspective on your new policy of who should and shouldn't be able to try out and play school sports.
I can completely relate to where you are coming from.
And I can somewhat relate to what you are talking about.
The only problem I have with that idea is that I feel that some students will feel bad for being left out even though a C is average.
I also think that there should be no way to be knocked out of track.
I say this because everyone is always talking and thinking about obesity.
This is not like football or basketball or any other sports like that.
The reason being is that the main reason people run track is either to lose weight or to get fit.
I know what you are thinking.
you are thinking, why can't they run on their own.
It takes a lot of motivation to get out and run on your own.
I know this because I run a good bit.
It was a lot harder to get myself going, mentally and physically when I started than it is to now.
Now, back to the subject of which I was writing you earlier.
I am going to have to say that with any passing grade I personally think you should be able to play any school sports.
If you do not do this then lots of kids who just don't want to try harder in school will just say, ""the heck with it"" and never even give it a second thought.
I also think that there are a lot of athletes out there and don't always try their hardest.

9C82C0E4B743,"School can either be the best or the worst option for some students because everyone is different. Students have different strong suites like someone can be good at more hands on work and others might be more gifted when it comes to more memorization based tasks. Schools have changed throughout the years and have become more advanced. This advanced technology has made it more beneficial for students who wish to separate themselves from the school environment and complete their education at home. Students would benefit from being able to attend classes from home because it's better for your mental health, allows more flexibility, and students can perform better overall.
Mental health is a major issue that has been talked about for years. It's a very common topic that comes up when talking about teens because teens seem to take on a lot and don't know how to manage everything well at a young age. It can be really challenging battling with mental issues. School can trigger students mental health because of the workload, negative environment, and the people they surround themselves with. Coming to school can get repetitive and often can make students feel trapped. Being surrounded by an environment that is familiar to students can help them significantly by allowing them to work freely and at their own pace without any negativity. I have struggled with mental health my whole life and it only got worse in eighth grade. That summer I had gotten into a car accident and badly injured my back. I was told I needed surgery and that I would be missing the rest of the school year. I was worried about all my school work and I had so many questions. My mental health took a big hit and I became even more depressed. When I got out of surgery I was told that I would need to stay at the hospital for a couple days. Once I was discharged it became very difficult for me to return back to normal. I struggled to walk, sleep, and take care of myself. Once I started recovering I was able to focus on school more. I was happy I didn't have to physically attend school because school had made me depressed. It was nice to get away from such a negative environment and start fresh. I started doing school online and felt that staying home really helped with my mental health. I started interacting with others after months of not interacting. I started hanging out with my friends and became happier. Doing my work at home allowed me to focus more and do everything I would do at school in the comfort of my own home.
Often times students don't get enough time to do what they would like because their time is being occupied by school. School takes up seven hours of a student's day and some students do extracurricular activities after school which only takes up more time. Doing school online however, allows you to be more flexible. Many youtubers have taken the online school route because they would like to further their careers and attending school physically wouldn't allow them to do that. A video creator on Youtube named, Antonio Garza, decided to pursue school online so she could further her Youtube career. She has mentioned in her recent Youtube videos that doing school online has made it much easier to incorporate more into her day and has been better for her mental health. She has gotten offers to collaborate with others and even fly out to certain events which is something she couldn't do before. She didn't know she was going to blow up on Youtube and when she did school became a negative environment for her because she got bullied by her peers. In her videos fans noticed she seemed off and she decided to address the situation. She talked being depressed and how she was getting bullied. Online school was her way out. Ever since she started doing school online she realized she was doing much better. Overall, doing school online helped her mentally and socially.
How well you perform at school is based on several factors. Attending school isn't meant for everyone because people have different goals in life. Not everyone wants to be the a doctor or a lawyer. In school it can be hard to focus on grades because students can get distracted and become more invested into making new friends or becoming popular which causes performance to decline in school. One of my friends was new to the county and she had trouble adjusting to the new school environment. She had excellent grades at her old school and her teachers spoke highly of her. I started talking to her and we became super close.
We had built a strong relationship that I thought would last forever but I was wrong. I started noticing that she became more distant when she started dating her boyfriend. She started hanging out with the wrong group of people and stopped worrying about her grades. She started failing all her class and her mom decided that it was better for her to do online school and get away from all the negativity. I was relived because she needed help and now she was going to get it. A couple months had passed by and I got back in contact with her. She seemed to be doing better and had told me that online school was what she needed to get back on track. She was able to bring all her grades up and gain her parents trust back. We started talking more and becoming more close. She was in a better head space mentally and she was motivated.
In conclusion, being able to do school online is a positive way for students to improve their well being. It also allows students to have more time to accomplish other tasks. Lastly, students can improve their grades. Some may argue that doing school online can hurt you in the long run but the pros outweigh the cons when it comes to online school. No matter how it's done, finishing school should be a goal for many students. Just because a different path was taken that doesn't mean that success isn't an option. Separating from a negative environment can do wonders and can help significantly in the long run.

Many people love their cell phones for calling, texting, listening to music, playing games and more.

When texting while driving could cause you to get to focused on your conversation on the phone and causes you to not pay attention on the road and the driver might end up driving off of the road into another lane, hitting another car, and etc when you can just wait until you reach your destination.
Most cars there is no need of touching your phone because there is a build in voice system you could talk to and say the message you want to send out loud instead of texting. Phone stands are good while driving also, it comes in handy while using a gps or even wanting to send a text message because your not physically holding your phone, it's sitting up on a stand in front of you.

11DD0B26B584,"Although some say schools should not offer classes online because when students are out of school someone else could be doing the work for them and they will not be learning anything, actually schools should offer classes online because most of the students who go to schools have to work and they drop out of school to work and taking classes online would help them be educated at the same time they're working.
Those who believe schools should offer classes online have their reasons because research shows that 80% of the students that go to high school work after school. They get home late and they have to do homework, and they go to bed too late and having to wake up at least at 7 am to go school it's hard. They are falling asleep in class and they don't want to do any work. Taking classes online helps because they can take them at anytime.

Another plus of driverless cars are you are less likely to get injured due to the computer inside your car.

If you fall aslepp at the wheel, the car will stop due to your hands no longer on the wheel of the car, resulting in a safe stop.

93969C0A04CC,"My opinion on the driverless car is a big two thumbs up, I think these cars are a big stepping stone in the world of technology, letting us advance to create more useful creations to help our daily lives. Driverless cars can help evolve our future, at least our future in technology, and help us create more wonderful inventions. The best part is the cars that Sergey Brin sees in the future will not even use as much fuel that we use today, it will only require half that amount.
I believe it to be very fascinating that for a car to be smarter it will need many sensors all over it. This way the car would be able to copy a human's skill at the wheel. The sensors attached to the car will allow it to apply brakes whenever danger is coming up ahead. We are unfortunately very lucky to have that ability to attach sensors onto the car to provide it the intelligence of driving on it's own, since back then we never had any sensors, computers, or mapping made by google.
Recapping my opinon on these driverless cars, I would like to say that they are great to have for transporting people who can't drive and delivering packages or whatever else they need to be used for. One more thing about having driverless cars is that it's useful for parent's, while the car drives to their destination, they will be able to take care of their children without having to stop the car. Lastly, I would like to sum it up and say that driverless cars coming to the future will have everyone is shock, especially by how amazing we have advanced in time.",,285,Driverless cars,Text dependent,"In the article “Driverless Cars are Coming,” the author presents both positive and negative aspects of driverless cars.

Not every ones response is the right choice for you because it cold be good when you hear it but when it happens its all over for you. Say you told your friends that you tried out for track and seen this really cute boy that you like and so you asked you friends for their opinion or advice from them and so what is the three girls said oh go talk to him,and the other say go ask him out,and you listened to them and so you walked up to him and ask him out and he was like ummmm... I have a girl,then its all over for you and the chance you could of had when they broke up. Not everyone you ask for there opinion is going to tell good stuff and you also need to use your brain and think before you go asking your friends. But the good thing is about asking people for their opinion is that they could tell you the right stuff you need to know. If you have real friends you already know they not gonna tell you no wrong stuff. Talking to you parent could be hard but at the same time you need a relationship with them because you could talk to you mom about personal hygiene you aint know about,and talk about boys.

BF8BD3F4C67E,"Many schools require students to complete summer projects in order to keep them learning over the break. These projects are usually teacher-designed and are assigned to the students at the end of the year. Some students argue that these projects should be student-designed rather than teacher-designed since it is taking up their summer fun time, but many disagree. Summer projects should continue to be teacher-designed because students will receive a premade rubric, projects are likely to be more organized, and projects can still be based off the students liking.
Some will argue that summer projects should be student-designed due to the fact that it is taking place during the students summer free time. Students want to be able to create the project themselves so then they can create it how they want to create it but that makes grading very difficult for teachers. Letting students design summer projects also has a high risk of unorganitzation because students may have the mentality that they can do whatever they want and still receive a good grade. If students do what their teachers tell them to do, then they will already know what to do from the beginning.
Most teachers and parents would agree that a rubric should be given to the students for them to follow while completing projects. Rubrics allow students to have a guideline to follow while completing their projects, essentially making the projects easier. Rubrics also give students a checklist that helps them stay on track and makes sure they are getting everything done that they need to get done in order to get a good grade. If students created their own rubrics, that would make grading projects extremely difficult for the teachers and most students do not understand how hard it is to actually create a rubric. Therefor, rubrics should always be given out by the teachers.
If summer projects continue to be teacher-designed, then students are more likely to be more organized with their project. Students will have gotten an explanation on how to complete their project and will have been informed in a way everyone understands on how to complete the project to the best of their abilities. Organization is key when completing projects and the best way to stay organized is to allow the teachers send students on the right track. Most students to not think about how easy it is to become unorganized and turn a great project into a ball of confusion. They need the teachers help to make sure they do the project right.
Summer projects may be teacher-designed but that does not mean they can not be based off of the students opinions and liking. Students can still receive a rubric and be told what to do and still have a high level of creativity involved in their project. Before school comes to an end, teachers can ask the students what they want to do most. having that information allows teachers to create a project that is easy for them to grade and is still fun and enjoyable for the students who are doing the project. A big factor in school projects is making something that the students can be happy and proud of and not something that they forced themselves to finish and are unhappy with. In order to keep both teachers and students happy, summer projects should continue to be teacher-designed.
Once summer starts, students become independent and are on their own with the project they are assigned with. That is why they should be given a guideline on how to complete their project, ways to stay organized, but they should still be able to complete their project with a smile on their faces. If summer projects stay teacher-based, then all three points can be addressed and improved upon. Students may believe that they can do everything by themselves but they will never succeed without a teachers help from the beginning.",,647,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

4475026EACB1,"Dear senator,
I belive that we should change the election to a popular vote for the president of the united states. We should have this for two reasons, one we should make the choice ourselfs so it matters more in the long run and two it will make more potental voters. We as americans should have more power when it comes to chooseing our president.
Some people may argue that the electorial college avoids the problem of run-off elections as stated in source two. I think if there is a tie then there should have the previouse presedent of the united states vote to brek the tie. I dont believe any vote should count more than a citizens vote. If we are suppose to have a goverment run by the people why cant the peoples vote matter.
I feel that people would vote more if their vote could be that single vote that decides who`s president. In the electorial college only their vote matters the popular vote doesn`t make a difference in the long run. The reason people vote is so that the person they want as president will win the race not so the person the electorial college wants to will win. The popular vote is simply deciding electors who can vote however they please which means the citizens vote doesnt make a difference wich unfair.
In conclusion america should have a popular vote not an electorial college because the peoples vote should matter. If you want a fair and honest goverment everyones vote should matter equaly and there should be no electorial college. If you care about what the american citizens opinions and what they have to say get rid of the electorial college.

6BC44943152F,"With the advancement in technology in the world we live in today, there should be no surprise of a car with the capabilities to drive itself. Though it does give technology yet another human job, driverless cars should be manufactored. I do not believe they should be maufactored for the average person though. Driverless cars should be manufactored for the blind, elderly, or anybody who does not have the driving capabilities that most have.
Driverless cars should be manufactored for the elderly. Very few people above the age of 70 have the driving capabilites and safety they once did when they were younger. For this reason, a driverless car would be ideal and safe for them to use for transportation. The driverless car would be a safe and effective transportation method for the elderly, this is one reason why driverless car should be manufactored.
Another reason the driverless car should be manufactored is how it will help the fight against drunk driving. With the computer at the wheel, and not the drunk driver, this could prevent from an accident or even a death. Though they could take control of the wheel, the computer system could be capable of recognizing such danger with the sensors, and take over for safety. The driverless car would be good to develop so that it could help in the fight against drunk drivers and other intoxicated drivers.
My final reason that the driverless car should be developed is so that the handicapped could have an easier time with transportation. The blind, the wounded, and the deaf all have their diffuculties with transportation. With the advancement in technology and cars, this would make it easier for them to get from one place to another. With the technology driving for them, they won't have to worry about there disability affecting them. With a safe driverless car developed, the handicapped community would get a better way of transportation.
In conclusion, technology is not always meant for fun. When the technology can greatly improve the life of the eldery or handicapped, it should be developed or used. When the technology can keep other drivers on the road safe from intoxicated driving, it should be developed and used. The driverless car can do all of the above, which is why it should be developed and used.

4C3D01DA2767,"Have you ever asked someone for advice? If so you might have asked multiple people. Some people say that it is good to ask more than one person for advice for different things. When you ask your friends they might tell you something different from what a family member might say. Thats why you ask different people. You might need advice for many different things like relationship advice, how to take care of a pet, or what to do when you and your best friend get in a fight and you want to fix the problem but you do not know how.
For example you and your friend got in a really bad fight over the littlest thing like having the same dress. Now your friend will not talk to you because she had the dress first and then you got it. You may ask yourself what to do to fix this problem so you and your friend can be best friends. In your head you might want to get rid of the dress but you like it a lot. Now you go ask one of your other friends and they say just do not worry about it and find to go find a new friend to replace your best friend and you do not want to do that. So you decide to go ask your mother what should you do to stop the argument and she says to explain that you did not know she had the dress before you went to buy it. You decided to go with what your mother said and it works and now you have your best friend back!
Have you asked your mom or dad for advice with a relationship or with someone you like? You might think it is weird to talk about someone you like with your parents and that is okay. Since you think it is weird to talk to your parents you go ask your friends. Your best friend said to write a note and leave it on your crushes desk. Next you ask a person that you've known for a long time but you rarely ever talk to them, and they say to go up to that person and tell them. As you are on the way home from school you think how going up to that person might make you feel embarrassed and you do not want to be the laughing stock of the school so when you get home you ask your parents. Your parents tell you to think of a fun and clever way of doing it so they say to write whatever you want on a sticky note and put it on the persons locker. But you think to do what your best friend said and you write a note and you find out they like you back too.
Another example is when your parents said that you could never have a pet when you were a kid and now that you moved out you decide to get a puppy. You have planned this moment forever but you do not know what kind of dog you want to get. Say you were living in an apartment and the only breed of dog you cannot have is a Pit Bull but thats okay because you've always wanted a German Shepherd. So you find puppies for sale and go look at them and decide to buy one. But you did not do research and now you are lost and do not know what to do. You decide to ask your mom and she said to make sure you walk the puppy and make sure it gets enough exercise because it is a big dog. Then when you go get a check-up for the puppy you ask the vet and they say to make sure the puppy gets enough food, exercise, and water. Of course you go with what the vet said and now your puppy is the best looking dog in the whole apartment building.
Getting advice from different people is helpful most of the time except when they all say the same thing but you do not agree with it. Asking multiple people gives you choices and I do not know about you but I like to have many different choices. Some people might give you bad advice and other people might give you good advice and thats why you should ask multiple people for advice. If you ever need advice your parents are most likely that best people to go to depending on the problem. Your parents are almost always right for relationship advice and friend advice. But if you get a pet ask the vet. ",,778,Seeking multiple opinions,Independent,"When people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person.

8842FE99EC98,"The electoral college method is a process that consists of the selection of the electors, the meeting of the electors where they vote for the President and the Vice president, and the counting of the electoral votes by Congress. This means that that people are not directly voting for who they want to be president but voting for an elector that then places a vote. The founding fathers established it in the Constitution as a comprimise between election of the president by a vote in Congress and election of the president by a popular vote of qualified citizens. The Electoral College consists of 538 electors, and a majority of 270 electoral votes is required to elect the president.
But the other process of voting for a president is what we have now, it is called the popular vote, in which people go to a place where there are machines that you can place your vote for the president you want elected, the person with the most votes becomes the president of the United States and the person that lost the popular vote is elected vice president.
You may ask, well what is wrong with the Electoral College system? Well under the electoral college system, voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president. Some people are very serious about their choice of the president they take their time to learn what the president could do for them and their state and country. So when that much time is put in to making that vote people would get mad if a person with an entirely different idea just takes their vote and places it wherever they want.

By reducing car usage, we could lower the effect of greenhouse gases that are one of the most threatning forces to life on earth. If the current polution of air continues, the ice caps will melt causing global flooding eliminating land that is needed for sustaining life. one of the ways t stop this is lower car usage and use cleaner forms of public transportation.
Another benefit of reducing car usage is a better sense of community because things will have to be closer together. People will improve social interaction make more friends and lead happier lives. ""When I had a car, I was always tense. I'm much happier this way"". This excerpt shows that people are much happier without having a car and just using bicylces and public transportaton to carry out their lives.

Established in 2006, it prohibits street parking, driveways, and home garages, allowing car ownership but limiting parking to large garages on the development's edge, costing $40,000 per space. This innovative concept has led 70% of Vauban’s families to live without cars, with 57% selling their cars to move there. Emphasizing “smart planning,” Vauban is a model in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, a critical factor in combating global warming. The district, home to 5,500 residents, showcases how suburban areas can be more compact, accessible to public transportation, and less car-dependent.

1CF95A009AE5,"Required Essay: Phones And Driving
Today, the majority of humans own and operate cell phones on a daily basis. In essay form, explain if drivers should or should not be able to use cell phones in any capacity while operating a vehicle.
How many people die yearly from texting and driving?
Nearly 390,000 injuries occur each year from accidents caused by texting while driving. 1 out of 4 accidents are caused in the united states by texting and driving.
Drivers should not be able to operate cell phone use while driving, it causes the driver to get distracted from the road and that could cause the driver to have an accident.
However, some drivers may still respond to a text message and that is why many of the accidents occurs and most of the time this lead to a vehicle accident that could lead to death.
Drivers need to understand how easily it is to take someone life or themselves.
Everyday people are risking their lives due to the high rate of cell phone use while operating a vehicle.
Therefore, nowadays cell phones are unnecessary devices because they are a distraction to drivers while their on the road.
Because of their conversation they might get upset and this could lower their driving ability that can lead them to lose control over the car.
If people don't make the right decision and put their cell phone away while driving their routine could harm innocent people.
Some people may feel uncomfortable without their cell phone mainly because they are so use to having their cell phone in hand while driving. On the other hand there are disadvantages of using cell phones, they can easily get lost. Talking on cell phones are very expensive. In addition, cell phones are not useful while driving, drivers should pay attention to the road instead of getting distracted from a text or phone call.
In conclusion, I think that cell phones are indispensable tools that we cannot live without, but we should avoid using them while operating a vehicle. Therefore, we should think carefully about the advantages of cell phone use while on the road.
You should ask yourself is it worth risking your life or someone else life. We should be able to operate cell phones responsibly and use them at the right time.

CE17C1752FCF,"Did you know that only about 50% of students participate in extracurricular activities at their school? This includes sports, clubs, and tutoring. Many of the students still engage in activities, just not through a school program. I don't think it should be mandatory to participate in a school activity because it steals time away from homework, it could conflict with other activities, and going home after school to unwind is good for student's mental health.
Most of our activities last another hour and a half after school lets out. That leaves a lot less time for homework to be completed on time. I often find myself struggling to finish my assignments on days when I must stay after school or have prior obligations. Homework may not be a large amount of our grade now, but it will build up over time. If the principal issues mandatory after-school programs, a decrease in grades may be noticeable.
Another reason to not force students into clubs is that is may conflict with other things on student's agendas. Plenty of students do sports that are not offered at our school. If they were forced to do a school activity, those students would most likely have no choice but to to quit their true interest. Teachers are always pushing students to express themselves in all sorts of way. Making students engage a school program limits individuality by placing a restraint on what they can participate in after school.
School can be a stressful enviroment for students, much like work is for an adult. Returning home to relax, after completing homework, is a positive way to recharge mental batteries before the next day. Studies show that stress has a large impact on student behavior. Having to stay at school an extra hour and a half can really start to take affect on student performance. One of my favorite parts of the day is being able to breath in the calming air of home or just having my muscles release their tension after all the tests at school. Students already suffer through seven tense hours in the school building a day, why make them stay there any longer?
Someone may argue that school clubs can make students more social and help them stay active. While some students are social butterflies, other choose to have a more reserved life style or are active in their own ways. Rather than force something upon students, let them choose what they want to do. Tons of homework, long personal schedules, and common stress are all valid reasons not to have extracurricular activities be mandatory.

02F4114B1F63,"Summer projects are not exacly favored by students. However, if students got to pick or have a say in their project it would deminish some of the complaints and make the students more intrigued to learn. Summer projects should be student-designed because students will be interested and willing to complete the project, it will allow them to work around their summer schedule, and it will make the student feel like they are in control.
If students could pick what project they would be doing and learning about over the summer break it would increase their willingness to complete the project because they would be interested in the topic. Student-designed projects means that the students get to pick the topic that they want to learn about and allows them to create the project entirely. In 6th grade I was assigned a summer project for my reading class where we could pick any book and write two paragraphs summarizing it and make a model decipitating a specific scene from the book. Being able to pick a book that I was excited about reading for this project made it easier and enjoyable for me to complete it. The book I picked was about a wild wolf and in the book it disccussed the wolf's travels and meetings with people. The scene I choose to make a model on was a fighting scene where this wolf protected a human. I was intrigued by the fact that a wolf wanted to protect a human that it didn't know and was not familiar with. This made the project fun to do and made me want to learn more about this topic and read more books like this one. Allowing students to decide and choose what project they will be doing improves the work and interest of wanting to do the project.
A student-designed project would be indivilualized to each student, therefore making sure the student would have enough time to complete it. For most students and families summer is a time to take vacations and spend time with extended families. For instance, my family takes an annual trip down to Northern Florida for a week to celebrate The Fourth of July. Some of my friends go to two week long camps or go away for an extended period of time on vacation or to visit family. The student will be able to design a project that will work with and around their schedule so that they will have enough time to complete the project. If they go away to a camp where they won't have access to technology they can pick to do a project involving a book and bring it to camp or they can choose to do a project about thier camp so they can complete the project at camp. As you can see a student-designed project gives freedom to the student to create and work around their busy schedule to make sure they will be able to complete their project.
If asked to any student about doing a project over the summer they will answer in the same opinionated way, ""I hate summer projects."" However, providing a student-designed project gives the student complete control. The ability to pick what topic they will do and allowing them to design the project gives the power to the student and not the teacher. The teacher will over see the student created rubric and outline for the project but in the end the student gets to decide what they want to do. During the summer kids get a break from school but projects are a constant reminder that school is still there and coming around the corner. Having control over what the project will give the student a sense of control and choice of what they will be learning about. The learning is in the hands of the students and not the teacher. I was able to pick what project I got to do over summer break for my science class, I had the choice of picking anyone in the field of science to study. I could control who and what exactly I got to talk about in the project. Having that control made it easier to accept the fact that I had to do a project over the summer.
Overall, assigning summer projects that are student-designed will positively affect the students and their continued learning over the break. The students will have an increased interest in the project, they will be able to individaulize it to their schedule, and it will give them control. All of these reasons clearly explains the benefits for a student-designed project and how teachers should apply them. In the end grading a project completed by a student who had total control will be expressed in the effort and work put into the project.

049719B4901D,"Dear state senator,
Electoral College shouldn't even be used anymore because it is widely regarded as an anachronism. In the Electoral College it's the electors who elect the president not the people. People should be able to vote for the president they want and not have electors elect the president. If the electors are electing the president they want then why even let the people vote only for them to be disappointed. Also when voting for a presidential candidate you're actually voting for a slate of electors. There are many reasons for retaining the Electoral College other then there lack of democratic pedigree.
A dispute over the outcome of an Electoral College vote wouldn't be the first since it has already happened in 2000. The reason is the the winning candidate's share of the Electoral College invariably exceeds his share of the popular vote. In 2012 election, Obama recieved 61.7 percent of the electoral vote compared to only 51.3 percent of the popular vote cast for him and Romney. Cause almost all states award electoral votes and a state creates a landslide electoral-vote victory in that state. A tie in the nationwide electoral vote is possible because the total number of votes-538- is an even number but this is highly unlikely.
Overall you will decide what is best for this state but just take in mind my idea how the Electoral doesn't benefit the people nor you.

6F29660C48D9,"Your school has just decided to change up the rules a little, now you're required to take an extracurricular activity. You could do anything from sports to student council! Do you think this is fair? When you think about the facts it seems like a good idea. It will encourage students to be more active and participate in sports. It could even bring the students out into the real world and off their phones, and it could really benefit their overall health. In extracurricular activities you usually have to work with other people or collaborate, so they'll even improve the students team building and social skills. I fully support the new change to the school system, I believe many students could be benefited by this change.
Do you play a sport? how'd you find that sport? Many students play a sport that the schools has, for example lacrosse, basketball and football. When you're looking for a new sport it helps when you have friends willing to join with you. Schools have a wide range of sports and it's pretty easy to find one your interested in, and you can join with a couple friends! By joining a sport you could be getting a lot more exercise and spend more time outside you just need a little nudge to start. The schools new rule is that little nudge that you and many of your classmates need.
Many students own cell phones and spend wayyy too much time on them, you could spend hours on your phone and not even notice! The average screen time amount for teens (12-18) is around 6 hours every day. Dont you think its time for a change? It's proven that phone use is one of the leading causes of depressed and anxiety. It's important to live a life outside of your phone. Students who have an extracurricular activity are proven to spend less time on their phones, studies show that by spending more time out in the real world it greatly improves your health and mood. Teens can get really lazy and just sit around on their phones all day. It gets hard to make them do anything else. The extracurricular rule will make it so that they're required to get off their phones out out into the real world!
Do you enjoy making friends and being a part of a group? It's important to have good social skills and practice talking to others. Sometimes it can be really hard to get out there and make friends. Taking an extracurricular activity can really improve your social skills and your team building skills. If you decide to join a sport you can practice a lot of team building and improve your leadership. If sports just are'nt your thing you can try student council, or other fun group building activities! If you're more of an introvert you could try library club or art club! In the activities you're bound to meet a lot of great, caring people who can really help open you up. If you're looking to make friends extracurricular activities are an amazing way to meet new people.
Students really need some encouragement to start doing more activities outside of school. The benefits are never ending and can make you a whole new person! There are thousands of extracurricular options to pick from. students can learn, make friends, improve their health and spend less time on their phones.

01FC4BCFD7CB,"Some schools are offering online learning as an option for students to attend class from home. There is an ongoing debate on whether doing online classes or doing traditional learning is most beneficial. There are those who agree that working in a classroom is most beneficial but this is not true. Although some may disagree, doing online classes are more beneficial than doing the traditional learning in a classroom.
There are many reasons as to why online classes are more beneficial. One reason is students can be more comfortable while they do work, meaning they get enough sleep so they can pay attention. Additionally, they dont have a specific time limit to do work at home vs when they are at school so they do not have to stress over getting it done in time as much. Furthermore, some students have lots of work around the house or have multiple jobs so having online classes means they can do their work when they can.
There are additional reasons as to why online classes are more beneficial. A reason being is, they are more willing to do work due to the flexibility of doing work online because some students have a busy life at home with chores and jobs, so they get their work done when they can. Additionally, they have access to the internet for specific questions, and if they can not find it on the internet, they will usually email or message and ask the teacher themselves. Finally, online classes are more beneficial because students who get sick do not have to worry about missing assignments and do not have to worry about attendance.
Although some may disagree, doing online classes are more beneficial than doing the traditional learning in a classroom. Online classes are most beneficial due to students; being more willing to do work, can do work whenever they possibly can if they have a busy schedule, and they do not have to worry about missing work and class if they get sick.

F612D53B4DD9,"One Monday morning, I saw my friend Generic_Name drenched in rain and with a troubled expression on his face. He told me he biked to school everyday and the weather was not kind to him today. I asked why he did not ask his parents for a ride to school, and he responded that both his parents need their cars for work. There was not a program to help him in the school and so he continued to use his bike in rain, snow, or shine. Although some may disagree, distance learning is beneficial to students because it helps students with disabilities and students without means of transportation.
Distance learning helps students that are disabled that cannot go to school because of their disability. For example, my classmate Generic_Name, he cannot walk without assistance from another person. Although he learns and engages in the lesson, he spends a good portion of the day going to the class rather than participating in it. If Generic_Name had a way to receive his education through online or video conferencing he would not have to spend so much time going to class. Another example is my friend Generic_Name, he cannot go to school due to his disability and as a result is home schooled. His education is stunted, however, as his parents do not have the resources that schools do. He cannot garner the experiences of a normal teenager and must take what is given. Had Generic_Name had a form of online learning, he could have discussions with his fellow classmates and learn more than what he being limited to. Through video or online education, a person with disabilities can still be educated.
Distance learning also aids in education as it helps students with transportation issues. For example, my friend Generic_Name has to get up early in the morning to get to school. He has no transport to school because his father only has one car and needs it to get to work. Generic_Name walks to school and sometimes he doesn't make it on time causing him to get tardy. He cannot even participate in extracurricular activities because he has to get home. Had Generic_Name had video conferencing, he would not have to worry about being late to class or about spending the majority of his free time on school. Another example is my friend Generic_Name, his education depends if he has money for the train. The majority of the time he does, however, sometimes he does not and may be late to class by a substantial amount of time. His economic status halts him in achieving his goals of becoming an engineer. If Generic_Name could learn through online or video conferencing, it will allow him to never miss any of his classes and lifts the burden of money on him. Through online education, students can alleviate daily concerns of missing class and can join their classmates in receiving the same experience that they do.
Some may object and say that online or video conferencing corrodes student's social skills. While understandable, that reasoning is flawed due to the fact that students who have these problems choose homeschooling as an alternative. If homeschooling is to be the alternative, students should be allowed to learn with their classmates through conferences so that they can still cultivate social skills. By forbidding these new ways of learning, people that are home schooled have a much harder time adjusting to the world. For instance, my cousin Generic_Name who is very shy around people. She was home schooled until middle school and was having a difficult time adjusting to her new environment. She finally became more confident later in the year as she made new friends.
Had she attended online discussions, she could have become more confident in speaking. Through discussions and conferences at home, students that learn at home can still get a resemblance of a social life at school.
Students that are less fortunate can finally achieve their dreams with these new tools. As the world gets more technical and digital, the institutions we call school must change as well. By accommodating more students, a well educated populace can bloom and become greater members of society. Many people in life do not get the same advantages, but we must take even small amounts of equity.

B0C3BBF86B9B,"Whenever there is a roadblock in life, many people feel limited to who they can ask for help. They do not know that there is a tremendous number of others surrounding them ready to put forth advice. There are always people somewhere who would be willing to help with a problem. Getting help is the smartest choice to make when in need of help. Talking to multiple people will never be the wrong choice, as it will almost always provide benefits for both parties. By asking multiple friends, family members, and trusted others, for advice, new perspectives are provided, decisions are rethought, and new ideas are formed.
There is no arguing that no two alike people walk on this planet. With different people, comes an uncountable number of differing opinions on topics worldwide. When multiple opinions are acquired, a great sea of new perspectives begins to flow. For example, if there is a glass filled halfway with water, one person may say its half full, and the other may say its half empty. That shows how different perspectives can influence how people view a situation. The analogy can be applied to any type of conflict or topic that advice is needed on due to the fact that people can have different perspectives on anything. The advice that is given is influenced based on how that person views the subject. Some perspectives can be more positive based or negative based. It can also depend on someone's personality. If only one person was to be consulted for advice rather than multiple, only one side of the story is taken into account.
In many situations, judgment can easily be corrupted. This can be caused by stress, deficient energy, or maybe just a busy schedule. With a corrupted field of judgment, decisions cannot be made with complete logic. In less then two minutes, someone's life can be changed. That is all it takes for a good or bad decision to be made. A great example is speeding up to a yellow traffic light rather than slowing down. There is a risk of crashing or getting pulled over, but also getting to the destination faster. The right decision may lead to a beneficial addition to the day. However, the wrong decision may lead to something grave. When making a decision, advice is a great way to try and stay on the right path. By asking multiple people, the pieces of advice may start to persuade someone to not make a certain decision or to make a different choice. The process of rethinking something is always good because if the idea is thought about again, then there is a better chance it will end up being the most intelligent option.
In some of situations, the original plan is not always the best solution. Even if advice is given from multiple people, their advice might not be what is wanted. As advice is given, sometimes combinations of many different opinions is the best suited for a specific person and topic. To be more specific, if none of the advice given is liked, then new ideas begin to spark. For instance, someone is deciding whether to buy a big box of cookies or not and they ask two people for advice. One person says to buy it, and the other says not to. If neither idea sounds right, the idea to buy a smaller box surfaces which is both pieces of advice combined. If only one piece of advice was taken then, the decision could have been completely different and had a different consequence.
In conclusion, making the right decision is crucial for many aspects in life. Some of these aspects include happiness and success. In order to do that, advice from multiple people is needed. Advice is always beneficial from everyone when it comes to making the right choice. In some situations, advice can be more crucial than others but it is needed in all types of problems. It can be from friends, family, or anyone who could help give reputable advice. When multiple people put forth opinions, new perspectives are provided, decisions are rethought, and new ideas are formed.",,688,Seeking multiple opinions,Independent,"When people ask for advice, they sometimes talk to more than one person.

I am strongly for driverless cars because they let you relax at the wheel by driving. Another reason I am for driverless cars it will allow the roads to be safer. The last reason I am for it is they will allow pedestrians to use public transpertation with out there life in risk.
How will a driverless car let you relax at the wheel. A driverless car will let you relax at the wheel during traffic jams up to speeds of 25 mph. The only thing you would have to do during a traffic jam is keep your hands on the wheel. The car will make you keep your hands on the wheel by using sensors. They can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves, but all are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills, such as navigating through work zones and around accidents.
Would anybody have ever thought there would be cars that dang near can drive their selves with out hurting anybody. Well the car designers are getting close. There are sensors on on some of these cars that will allow the car to brake instantly if the car is out of controll skids or roll overs. When these cars come out it will allow them to brake before running off the road. Without the option of smarter roads maufactures turned to smarter cars that can steer them selves.

343084E34E9A,""" What are you going to choose?"" That is the sound of a student at a school which requires them to do an extra- curricular activity. Students enrolled at this school must do some sort of extra curricular activity, whether it is a sport, a spot on the yearbook club, or serving on the student council. I agree with the requirement of an extra curricular activity because it can help you find people with the same interests and lead you to new interests, it can help create a better community environment and it will help all the students mature and succeed in the future.
Participating in an after school activity can lead you to people that have the same interests and can lead you to other interests. i have been playing lacrosse for about 8 years now and as I've played throughout the years, I have discovered many different hobbies through my teammates such as cheer leading, track and field and rock climbing. I've also been able to make friends because I'm on a different team every season. I have made about 3 lifetime friends in lacrosse. I think this can happen with school lead activities. I think by being part of an after school activity, you can make lifelong friends, find people with the same interests and discover new hobbies.
Doing an after school activity can help create a better community environment. this kind of relate back to the previous statement about making friends.
by making friends, you can create less bullying. there is this saying, ""strength in numbers"", and I truly think this would happen with an after school activity requirement rule. By installing an activity requirement, you would help build a bully-free community.
Lastly, an after school activity would help students mature and prepare them for the future. I babysit a little boy with downs-syndrome and i often take him to the park. When we leave, you tell he is a little bit more mature from when we first arrived. this is because hen has played with older kids and have copied their actions. I believe this goes with all kids. if we had an after school activity program and we put all the grades together, it would help the younger one mature but also the older kids could teach them how to do things that they will need to know in the real world.

One of the reasons is that belive it or not venuse is the most simalar planet to earth, also the scientist at NASA said they are working on a blimp like vehicle that could go up to 30 miles high. That means if they made this structer they could avoid all of the harsh conditions on ground level at venus such as the armospheric pressure, and the unbarable heat that is a crazy total of 800 degrees. If they would make this vehicle the pressure would drop substantionaly and so would the heat from 800 degrees to around 170 degrees, the solar power and radation would also be very plentiful and wouldn't exceed Earth levels. The conditions would definetly no be easy to deal with, but they would at least be survivable. There is one problem thought people at NASA can not document their finding because of conditions which would make it where cameras could not be used. This is because the most the light cannot penetrate the dense atmospher. But there maybe a solution, the thing is we might just have to go back in time. For example scientists are looking back on older technology, this technology would be mechanical computers, this is good because these computers do not requier any technology, they use gears and levers and would be substainable on venus.

80D0A3C7B588,"The value of not using this technology is great, because its just more reasonable to know your own moods ftom your expressions instead of a computer. I say this because it's more natural to use your own mind instead of having to with a computer. This is my opinion of this article, because it makes you have to use your mind instead of having a computer to use it for you.
Students should use their minds when it comes to this, because you will be able to tell other people moods and yours also. In the text it states,"" The facial expression for each emotion are universal."" What this means is that the facial expressions we use are used all over the world. So why not learn them your self instead of having a computer to do it for you. When you travel there will be facial expressions every where so it's best if you learn them on your own so you will understand what there moods are.
When you can tell people's mood from their facial expression and you address it to the person they might think your smart. In the text it states,"" Moving your facial muscles not only express emotions, but also may even help produce them."" This is also another good reason to read facial expressions, because it benefits you in a mentally way by reading people's body language. Another way it can benefit you is because it shows your actaully paying attention to the person's emotions.
When you use an computer to read people emotions just imagine doing it non verbally and using your mind to read it. In the text it states,"" In fact, we humans perform this same impressive ""calculation"" every day."" For an example if your friend is looking down or happy you will most likely be able to tell from their facial expressions. I say this because us as humans we use facial expressions everyday so why not be able to read them.
As you read this passage this can be a life lesson, because it's used in everyday life.

Now there are going to be a lot of people that disgree with me, but let me tell you my reasons. My first reason is the electoral college is not fair to the small states. Because small states only get a small number of electoral votes canidates do not visit the small states that often. So how is that fair?
My second reason is why not just let the poplar vote choose who is the president? After all the poplar vote is the only honest way of doing things. The canidate that has the most votes in a poplar vote should win every time. That way is fair.
My third and final reason is with the electoral voting system there is actually a chance of tying. if they tye what do you do now? Should we flip a coin to see who wins possibly one of the most important descisons?

BB86D8B194BD,"Principals make a lot of decisions on how to make sure their students give or get a good impression in life, so they could further their career in what they want to study or major in. Therefore, it was a decision made by our principal that all the of students should participate in at least one extracurricular activity. For example, a cooking club or a athletic sport or anything that your interested in that you do on the daily. Finding a after school activity isnt hard as you think it could be when you think about it. After school activities are just clubs or sports that are things you in enjoy doing in your free time. Students involving them self in a after school activity could be great a decision because it gives a good look on your college application, help students find out what their interested in, and challenge's students to learn how to manage grades and an extracurricular activity.
When your applying for college applications, you want to have at least one or two extracurricular activities. Especially, if your applying to a very high standard school, like Harvard or Yale. However, if you put those academic activities on your application you could most likely get in to the school that your applying for. Most of the colleges now a days look for people who have good grades and a great minimum of extracurricular activities because they want to see if the person isnt all about grades and can do other activities at the same time. Also, they look to see if you have anything that relates to their major or study. As a result, if you do those after school activities it can be helpful in your college application part.
Having to pick out a after school activity can be stressful when dont have a any hobbies or even know what your interested in. However, picking out a activity can exactly be easy because its something that you enjoy doing on a daily bases. When you pick out a academic club or sport and enjoy that activity it helps whether or not thats what you could be or major in life. For example, you take a cooking class and you enjoy everything about the club, so you might feel like you want to have career in cooking and be a chief. Lastly, taking an after school activity can help you find out what you might want to be in the future.
Being organize in school can be a challenge when your trying to balance grades and after school activities. Likewise, its an advantage because it shows you how to practice your organization skills. Also, keeps up the pressure of balancing both at the same time. Especially, when you have to keep up your grades to participate in the club or sport your in for school. However, it can help you because it makes sure that you can pass all your classes and go on to the next grade or even graduate. This is what colleges like to see because they see that you can take on anything that they throw at you and that your a multitask er.

You can own a car which you can park in one of two garages the town has on the outskirts but it cost 40,000 dollars so people tend to sell there car. In the town stores are built down the main road in walking distance due to the fact that there are no cars. This town is an experimental new district, on the outskirts of freiburg, close to the french and swiss borders. The town is totaly ""Car-Free"" if you dont count the main thoroughfare, where the tram to downtown freiburg runs. If this town spreads around the world and othere towns and cities implement the same idea we could lower pollution and better the enviorment. If we build everything closer there will be o nead for cars so thats another reason why we should limit car usage.
In columbia they implemented a car-free day where every one took buses, road bikes and other neat things to get from place to place. This program is wanted to spread to other countries. In the third straight year of implementing this idea they banned all cars on that day except buses and taxis. The goal is to promote alternate transportation and reduce smog. Violaters faced a twenty-five dollar fine. Aside from the occasinal rain storms, this idea is a good way to ""take away stress and lower air pollution."" said ny businessman Carlos Arturo plaze as he rode a two-seat bicycle with his wife. For the first time two othere columbian cities join the event. The cites are Cali and Valledupa. ""Parks and sports centers also have bloomed throughout the city; uneven, pitted sidewalks have been replaced by broad, smooth sidewalks; rush-hour restrictios have dramatically ut traffic; and new restaurants and upscale shopping districts have cropped up."" This is all in result of that event. Quoted from sorce 3.
As you can see there are many was to reduce air pollution and promote alternate transporation. By taking away cars alternate transportation is needed to fulfil that tasks that need to be done throghout the day and without the exaust of so many cars going off the air pollution will go down too.

Dear principal I believe that students should bring cell phones to school. Why? simply because they are a important part to our daily life. Cell phones do not hurt anyone's education as long as the cell phones are turned off during class time. If cell phones are turned off then students wont be focusing on their cell phones. It would be nice to let students use their cell phones during lunch or during their free time. If students use their cell phones during their lunch then the students wont want to use them during class time because they already used their cell phones during lunch.
Students bring cell phones too school all the time! Telling students not to bring cell phones isn't going to stop them. So why not just let them bring their cell phones to school with the condition making them turn their cell phones off during class time but letting students use their cell phones during lunch periods or even their free time. If the principal lets students use their cell phones during their free time maybe students will get rid of the egger to use their cell phones during class.

Second reason, i think it fair if we use our phones cause i bet all school in this world teacher use their phone that is a other reason. it unfair that the grow ups can but not us they need to do theirs job then if we need to do ours job and i hope you think about that to see us feel about it.
Third reason, kids get stuff done and they don't have nothing else to do instead let us use in that time and we will be little happy.

F9D9298807C9,"Dear state Senator,
I am in full favor of the Electoral College process. I think that this process is a great way to elect president because we rely on the electors vote. By relying on the electors vote, we don't have to worry about the popular votes messing up the election. I say messing up because a lot of people aren't paying attention to the election, so they vote out of a random pick. This could influence the presidential outcome of who becomes president.
Also, the Electoral College process goes to a series of elections. This is better because when we vote for the president, we are actually voting for the electors. After that election, the electors vote for the president on a more serious note. The electors take charge of your your state, and vote for the most reasonable president. They discuss the bad and good qualities protraying to each president. Based on thier dussicion, America will have the best president there is.
To add on, the election process by popular voting can be easily screwed up. This process can be messed up by none serious voters who choose the worse president. This election process can be messed up by people choosing a president and not even paying attention to the qualities that the president has. The president that they pick could have some awful characteristics, along with the presidents decisions.
To conclude, we should keep the Electoral College process and not even think about the popular vote process. The Electoral College process, we rely on the electors to make the right decision for America. We don't want a bad president by going with the popular voting process.

Fellow citizens there should be a limit on car usage . If there's limits with our car usage then we would have a better community, there would be less pollution,less drugs passing through other citizens cars. If there isn't a limit on car usage us citizens would be the ones suffering from chemicals getting into our lungs from all the pollution our own cars let out, two we would be affecting our community because everyone wouldn't walk anywhere they'd just spend money on gas going to somewhere or visting there friends and family . Better to save the earth, then to damage the earth.
First, why not just have limits on car usage saves our community just by a little step like that. We wouldnt have to worry about just walking down the street and a drunk driver just coming out of no where and hitting us. In source 1, by Elisabeth Rosenthal in interview a mother of two and she said, ""When I had a car I was always tense."" why be tense when you can be stress-free just by not using your cars all the time and having limits on them. If we actually do help our community by having limits on our car usage then we could make cities denser,and healthier community to walk around in.
Second, pollution sucks, these chemicals we're observing are eventually going to hurt us in the long run we are either going to die of the gas our cars are releasing or we're either going to get really sick from it. Who wants to get sick because a stupid decision of driving a car? most definetly not me. These limits are for the best for us citizens . Like source 3, by Andrew Selsky States ,""It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air .""of course its better to just take a nice walk than to just be lazy and drive a car. Bike rides with friends sound better than a car ride, in a car people usually blast the music and don't communicate with one another, but while you bike ride you can communicate with one another and actually have fun racing eachother on these bike rides healthier than a car ride.
Last, with the limits of car usage smoggling can be prevented because it won't be easy for people from other countries trying to pass by in cars with drugs because the state would have certain transportations they can only use which they might not want to use because it's so public.

I think that you should do policy one (allow students to bring phones to school and use them during lunch periods and other free times as long as the phones are turned of during class time.) One reason is because what if something happened to one of our family members and they don't have the school numbers so they need to get a hold of us and we don't have our phones on us. Second reason is we have after school activities that we attend on a daily bases or just a few times a week but we wont be able to reach our parents to come pick us up after it is done because the office is always closed after that at that time so we can not use the office phone. Third reason is it might help kids come to school because most the kids get bored at school and need something to do so if you made it so they were able to have there phones on free time they would say man if I go to school I can get my work done and then I have free time to use my phone then there would be no question why kids aren't coming to school and that person will keep there grades up better.
But if you make it so they can't have them then people are still going to bring them and parents won't be able to get a hold of there kids. There would be a bunch of confusion in parents not knowing when to come and get there kid from school then parents wouldn't let there kids do after school activities and then the school would not make a profit for extra things they need to make our school better.

3A3AD368D10E,"The Electoral College is a method of voting for President and Vice President that was produced by our founding fathers in the articles of the Constitution. The Electoral College has been in use for centuries, but it is time that we disregard it. The Electoral College was a smart idea in the seventeen and eighteen hundreds, but as our country continues to change, it is necessary to change the way that we elect our leaders. The Electoral College has remained untouched and exactly the same for hundreds of years and this has caused it to be extremely outdated. Not only is it far too outdated and complicated to help our voting process, but the Electoral College does not give the voters voice; instead, it takes it away from them. The Electoral College also can lead to concerning situations that the country and its people do not want to be put in. For these reasons, I strongly encourage you to make the change and switch to election by popular vote.
The question of whether or not to abolish or keep the Electoral College in tact is a heavily debated one, but it is clear that getting rid of the Electoral College will be highly beneficial to the voters of America. The Electoral College was established hundreds of years ago when our Constitution came about and it created a complicated process to elect the President and Vice President of the United States. Our country is changing day by day, and we certainly have made monumental changes since the Electoral College came to be. According to Bradford Plumer, author of, ""The Indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong,"" a poll was taken by Gallup in the year 2000 that showed that less than just forty percent of Americans support the election system that we have now. This proves that it is time for a change and that the system that we currently have in place has been in place for far too long. The everchanging United States of America is in desperate need of an up-to-date election system that fits the current needs of the American people. The Electoral College is not only outdated, but it is also an extremely complex voting method. In an article entitled, ""What Is the Electoral College,"" written by the Office of the Federal Register, it is explained that the Electoral College is a lengthy process that involves the choosing of electors and the issuing of Certificates of Ascertainment after both the people and the electors have voted. The Electoral College does far more harm than good for our country and for this reason especially, I believe that America should begin to elect its Presidents using the popular voting method.
Moreover, the Electoral College should no longer be the voting method of the American people because the people are given no voice with the Electoral College process. In his article, ""The Indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong,"" Bradford Plumer specifically states that the people themselves do not vote for their desired candidate, but instead, they vote for electors who then vote for the more popular presidential candidate. The people should be the ones who vote for the president because they will be the ones who are governed by the president. The Electoral College gives no voice to the people and is considered by many to be a non-democratic way of voting and is often referred to anachronism. Today, it is a struggle to encourage people to vote and be present on election day because no one feels like their vote matters. People say that one vote doesn't make a difference and that there is no point in filling out a ballot if it has no real affect on which candidate is chosen. The Electoral College and the process it established is really just confirming these opinions. People do not feel like they are contributing because when it comes down to it, the electoral votes are the deciding votes. The Electoral College only has a little over five hundred electors that are representing the millions of regular people who show up at the polls on election day. In order to make the people feel like their opinions are being voiced and their voice is being heard, and to increase voter turnout on election day, it is imperative that the country switches over to election by popular vote.
Most importantly, using the Electoral College as our voting method can lead to some serious problems. The replacing of electors that oppose the popular vote result is a problem that comes with using the Electoral College. Not only is it not hard to accomplish, but it has happened before. According to Bradford Plumer in his article, ""The Indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong,"" in the early 1960s, people who favored races being seperated in society were almost able to replace Democratic electors with a new set of electors who supported the opposite party. Also, some corrupt electors who are not pleased with the popular vote will simply vote for whomever they please. Electors clearly have trouble being trusted and there is obviously some extreme dislike for the system we have now. The Electoral College also causes some problems when instances like a tie in the electoral vote come about. In this case, a tie in the Electoral College would be thrown to the House of Representatives, who would then vote for the President. The Electoral College brings about uneccessary problems that could all be avoided if the country converted the way of electing to election by popular vote.
In summation, the Electoral College has been around for hundreds of years, but it is time that the United States makes the change that would improve the way of electing its future Presidents. The Electoral College is outdated and complicated, does not allow the voice of the people to be heard, and leads to uneccessary voting complications. For these reasons, I vehemently feel that we should switch from the Electoral College to election by popular vote.

5C094CEAB69B,"Many schools assign summer projects as a way to ensure that students continue learning throughout summer break. It would be more beneficial if these summer projects were student-designed as opposed to teacher-designed because students would be allowed more creative freedoms with their projects, individualized learning, and students would be more apt to starting and completing their projects. While teacher-designed projects are easier to create, they leave students unmotivated and bored, but learning shouldn't be boring.
Teacher created projects are boring; with student-designed projects, students can be as creative as they want with their learning. When students are allowed to create their own projects, they are able to have more fun with what they are doing and in turn, are able to enjoy learning. While having complete freedom of how they may design their projects, students might have a difficult time; this is why there must be some structure and guidelines to lead students along the right path in their learning. Creativity is very important when it comes to learning because students won't remember things that they were bored learning, but when teachers find ways to make learning fun it is easier to retain information. Many students at Generic_School are given projects that allow students to go about their project in many different ways that appeal to them and their learning style. Often times projects are immediately related to PowerPoint or posters, but now medias such as Prezi, video, games, etc. are available to students, projects incorporating different medias are more fun to complete, allowing students to learn easier. When it comes to summer, students don't want to be bored, so allowing them to create their own projects in fun, creative ways makes them more excited to do their projects.
Every student is different and so is the way that they learn. Some students have no problem cranking out teacher-designed projects, but others do not find them so easy to complete. Allowing student-designed projects allow for more individualized learning. These projects would allow students to learn and review what they need to in order to be successful. While a broad and general review is good, sometimes students need extra love in certain areas of content. Giving students the freedom to come up with ways to learn what they need to is important to ensure that content is locked down and that students are on the same level. Many high schools across the country give out summer assignments, but they're not the best, at Generic_School students are given summer assignments but the assignments are only a general review or unnecessary work, they don't teach and leave students confused, but most importantly they don't allow students to heavily review confusing topics which can lead to students being left behind in their learning before the new school year even begins. There are just too many students with different learning needs that cannot be satisfied by teacher-designed projects. When students are given the ability to help themselves and learn what they need to how they need to, they will be more successful in their learning.
Students knowing that they are able to learn what they want, how they want makes them more motivated to do their work. When work is fun and exciting, it is much easier to complete and to want to complete. Teens and kids are so used to the same type of learning and the same projects that they have been asked to complete their whole lives that it is boring and extremely hard to find the motivation to do something they are bored with, they just don't want to do it. However, when students are given the ability to learn how they want to, it is exciting, especially when students are passionate about what they are doing. Not only will students be more motivated to do their summer projects, but student-designed projects would also lead to less academic dishonesty. At Generic_School, summer assignments have been the exact same thing for all students and they haven't changed in years, this means that it is extremely easy to find and/or get the answers to the summer assignments. This being said, it would be a lie to say that students don't cheat, because they do, but with student-designed projects, each project would be more individualized to each students needs, eliminating the ability to cheat. It just makes more sense to allow students to learn what they need to, how they want and need to, it gives them the ability to catch up to where their peers are, on their own time and terms.
It is time to revolutionize learning, and the first step is to let students take control of their own learning. Teacher-designed projects just aren't cutting it anymore, it is time for a change. Students need to be given the opportunity to work hard to get to where they not only need to be academically, but also were they want to be. No more students left behind in the dust of their classmates when they don't grasp the content of their course. Student-designed projects could be the end of cheating but also the beginning of a new way of learning where creativity is embraced. Student-designed projects could make students more motivated to do well because they don't feel stuck and confused. Every now and then, we need to allow students to take charge of their own learning, with their teachers as a guide on their path to success and understanding.

Well have you ever thought about taking a trip to the moon or just the planet period maybe even studying a planet just for fun? It will cause you to think about the 5 w's first the who, who will be there are there lots of humans just floating around in space? what will it be like, what would it look like? Why did someone create this?
when did everything take place? Why did it take place? Where did everything all begin And what made someone think of this ?
Let's say you studied Venus. Venus is one of the brightest points of light in the night sky. Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planted in our solar system. It could be by far the most exiciting plant that you could ever study and the greatest dangerous one too. Beyond high pressure and heat Venus geology and weather present additional impediments like erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lightning strikes. Venus causes many things to corrupt without venus there would be many corruptions in the world. But so does any other planet right? Not every planet is a good planet.
How is Venus tested and when was it discorved ? According to the text,"" Many astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planted in our solar system"" The text also states that "" Long ago, Venus was probably covered largelt with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth. "" Different plantes have been here for over 1,000 years crazy right, If you was to imagine what life would be like with out planets or gravity keeping everything in check what would we be up to right now. We need these things to survive.
Venus could be the most by far dangerous planet to visit the text says ,"" Even more challenging are the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus's atmosphere"". The text also states that, "" On the plantet's surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet."" This goes to show that if you were able to take a trip to Venus you probaly would pass out or either die because the tempature is not average compared to the Earth's and there's less oxygen.
You might take it into concederation that we should not be limited to on things we want to do just because the danger of things, and I agree because the world be so much better if we did what we wanted.

You think that we should have to have a letter B grade or above to play sports. I do not agree with you because below a B is not failing. Below a letter C grade is failing and UIL states that you must be passing to play, and a C is passing you do not have the authority to do that. It is okay to have a C
because some kids might not be very good at school, they have other activities that consume most of there time and again you do not have permission to make this a rule.
Some of us have many other activities outside of school that we are occupied with and take a lot of time and effort. Some nights I do not get home from Boy Scouts until 9:00 and I will be tired, go to bed, and forget to study. The next day I might have a test that fail because I did not study and it will hurt my grade. I should still be able to play because I could get a better grade on the next assessment and it will bring my grade up.
Some of kids who play sports a lot are not very good at school and they average a C in most classes. I can see why you would want to motivate these few to bring their grades up but you can not do that by saying they can not play unless they have a B. UIL says they must have a C or above at report card time to be able to play, not just doing bad on a test.

13466AD81FBF,"Do Aliens Really Exist?
Do you think the face on Mars was created by aliens? Well, I think the face is just a natural landorm. They're isn't that much evidence that proves aliens creating this unknown face. People think just because it looks like a face means its a sign of life. However, they're is enough evidence to prove that this tremendous unknown face is just a natural landform.
First, NASA said the face looks like a sign of life but figured it was just a another Martian mesa, because stuff like this is common. But the face's unusual shadows made it look like an Egyptian Pharoah. Later on, NASA unveiled the image with a caption noted ""Huge rock formation which resembles a human head, formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes,nose, and mouth."" The authors reasoned it would be a good way to engage the public and attract attention to Mars with the Face.
Second, in paragraph 7, it says when Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia for the first time, Michael Malin and his Mars Orbiter Camera team snapped a picture ten times sharper than the original Viking photos. When the image first appeared on a JPL web site, revealing a natural landform. After all, there was no alien monument or any sign of life. People were still not satisfied, it says in the text. However, some people just need to face the facts when it comes to disappointment.
Lastly, another reason to prove that the unknown mask is just a natural landform. In paragraph 12 the author says what the picture actually shows is the martian equivalent of a butte or mesa- landforms common around the American West. Then says"" Reminds him most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho."" Finally, Gavin also says ""Thats a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the face on Mars. "" Which means they go through the same process to be created-landform.
However, their is a possibility that there are aliens on mars. The face on Mars does have eyes, nose, and mouth. Which makes the formation look like a human face. In paragraph 8, the author says that if the camera on board MGS had to peer through wispy clouds to see the face, alien markings must've been hidden by the Haze. However, there's not enough evidence to prove this sign of life on Mars.
Finally, after all, there is enough evidence to prove that the face is just a natural landform. Their are also many other reasons to prove this correct. Aliens do not exist on Mars. Maybe NASA will find more evidence to prove there is life on Mars but right now there isn't enough to prove that. The bottom line is that there is no sign of life on Mars.

Some people think that self driving cars could be the furture and help . Computer cars are cars that drive themselves and steer ,brake and accelerate themselves. One of Google's founders Sergey Brin says ""He envisions a future with a public transportation system where fleets of driverless cars form a public transport taxi system"" How cool would that be!
Google has cars that can drive by themselves under specific scenario's since 2009. These cars have driven more than half a million miles without any crashes . That sounds great , most people know that car crashes happen very often when people are on the wheel of cars . But these cars are not 100% truly driverless yet , they still alert the driver when they need to take over when dealing with traffic or construction or complicated issues .
Computer cars have tons of sensors for them to be smarter and the driver to be safer . Google has modified a toyota prius that uses position estimating sensors on the left rear wheel , a rotating sensor on the roof ,and video camera in the rear view mirror , four radar sensors , a GPS receiver , and a intertial motion sensor . Also a dubbed LIDAR , it has lazer beams to constanly update the surroundings of the car .
The cars can go up to 25 miles per hour when driving themselves , but they have special touch sensors on the wheel to make sure the driver keeps hold of it , this means the driver has to be alert and be ready to take over when the car needs assitance going through certain areas like constrution or traffic promblems . GM has seats where when its the drivers turn the seats vibrate to get the drivers attention to let he/she to know its there turn to drive . The google car simply announces when the driver should be prepared to take over and other manufactors are puttuing cameras to watch that the drivers are remaining focused .

DC9FF6A175AF,"In the recent passages that I have read, I have discovered how people in Germany have started the trend of not driving cars in a certain tow. This trend has sparked new flames in places like Levittown and Scarsdale New York. While that trend has sparked, studies have shown how many people in America have stopped driving and or buying licenses.
In passage two, I learned that Paris enforced a partial driving ban because of all of the [air] pollution. I can't blame them. With Paris being one of the most beautiful cities in the world, why ruin the air around it. I do believe that Paris may be one of the most visited cities in the world because of the Eiffel Tower.
If people visit Paris for a structure that tall, I know tht I wouldn' want to come back with the air being as bad as it is. Just think of all the people with asthma living in such polluted air. In Paris, 4,000 people were fined for driving their cars, 27 cars were impounded for the owners reaction to the fine.
In Bogota, Colombia, a program set out to be a national car-free day. This program was such a succes, they did it three years in a row. The obly vehicle access was taxis and buses in a capitak city of seven million. The turnout was large, despite gray clouds that occasionally dumped rain on Bogota. ""The rain hasn't stopped people from participating"" says Mayor Anatanas Mockus. Surprisingly, two other Colombian cities, Cali and Velledupar, joined the event. ""These people are generating a revolutionary change, and this is crossing borders"" said Enrique Riera.
All over America, people are starting to stop buying licenses and driving cars simply because they dont care for them. In my own opinion, I feel like Americans rely on motors far too much. We have turned into a nation of laziness. But as I have read, the love affair, or couch affair, with cars is starting to crumble, just like 50% of marriages in America. As I have read, it appears that teenagers stopped worrying about licenses and cars simply for the fact that walking with friends is somewhat ""funner'

A6EE4F2D0C0C,"Bustling traffic fills every available lane on the highway on your drive home from work. It's rush hour again, and it's more of a slow, steady crawl rather than a drive. You can't roll the windows down to relax and get a breath of fresh air, because the air simply isn't appealing; It's all emissions from the other cars, and the smell of burning gasoline is simply naseauting. It's moments like this when you recall the stories in the news about cities all over the world limiting car usage, and wondering how useful or effective it really is. Banning the use of cars has advantages such as helping to reduce pollution, reducing stress, and conserving resources.
Pollution is a prominent problem in every society today, and often times you witness ""Go Green"" campaigns on the television, with celebrities trying to persuade you, and call you to action on trying to save the Earth. A great way to actually help reduce pollution, is through a ""No Driving"" campaign. In the document written by Robert Duffer, he discusses how Paris partially bans driving in order to ""clear the air of the global city."" A system was put in place that allowed drivers who only had odd numbered license plates to drive on Monday, and only even numbered plates the following day. This helped to reduce congestion on the streets, and reduce the smog polluting the air to a safer amount. Before this was put in place, it was said that ""[The smog] rivaled Beijing, China, which is known as one of the most polluted cities in the world."" In ""The End of Car Culture"" by Elisabeth Rosenthal, the author also discusses how ""If the pattern persists-and many sociologists believe it will-it will have beneficial implications for carbon emissions and the environment..."" This is expressing how a lower percentage of car usage compares statistically to a lower percentage of carbon emissions in the air, which stresses a healthier environment. Maybe now we can roll down some windows while on the highway.
Stress is a major factor in everyone's life; It makes things difficult, wavers a person's focus, and isn't beneficial to your health in the slightest. These ""No Driving"" campaigns are actually helping to reduce the amount of stress in people, by giving them a chance to do some stress relieving activities, such as bike riding or rollerblading. In the first source, ""In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars"" which is also by Elisabeth Rosenthal, a mother of two and media trainer named Heidrun Walter stated ""When I had a car, I was always tense. I'm much happier this way."" Walter was able to stroll on sidewalks and smell the fresh air, all while listen to the sounds of nature and children playing, free of the sound of cars. In Andrew Selsky's article, ""Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota,"" Selsky informs the reader that Bogota makes renovations in the district on parks and sidewalks, so that during the time of ""No Cars,"" people have enjoyable options as to how to get around the city. With such dedication to a project, it would be surprising to not be satisfied with those results.
Non-renewable resources are what power our daily lives, from gasoline to coal, once it's gone, it's gone for good. With these campaigns to ban driving, we are helping to hold on to what we have, and in a way, realizing what we have before it becomes something we had. In the second article, Paris banned driving to reduce smog, which they blamed on the use of diesel fuel rather than gasoline. The use of diesel fuel may be helping to conserve gasoline, but it's used in Paris because of a tax on gasoline, and is simply a prefferable price. By not driving at all, the citizen reduced smog, and conserved their resources for another day. In Rosenthal's second article, she discusses how Bill Ford put forward a proposal on partnership, hoping to ""create cities in which 'pedestrian, bicycle, private cars, commercial and public transportation traffic are woven into a connected network to save time, conserve resources, lower emissions and improve safety."" With the conservation of non-renewable resources, we are helping to ensure a future for those who success our generations.
There are so many advantages to driving, like being able to travel long distances faster, and being able to carry things with you wherever you go, but they are advantages of circumstance, and ultimately the use of cars is a price we pay with our health. The advantages of using other forms of transportation outnumber the advantages of car usage, both in the health of the people, and the health of the planet. If not using cars can reduce stress levels in people, or reduce pollution in a matter of days in densely populated cities, or even conserve the resources we can't renew, we should have banned driving already!

E2E2F1025D32,"In the story the author presented both sides fairly. He stated the positives and negatives of driverless cars. I belive that driveless cars could soon be a common thing everybody uses.
First thing that might be a big problem is that they use radars and those can cost two hundred million dollars, that right there is a down side. One of the positives of the car it can do is that BMW announced the ""Traffic Jam Assistant."" The car can go as fast as 25 mph, but you have to keep you're hand's on the wheel. The car can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves. It is all design to let the driver know the road ahead requires human skills, such as nabigating through work zones and around accidents. BMW's project manager driver said that it hopes to bring in-car entertainment and information systems. Some of the display can be turned off when the driver must take over. The in-car system is a great safety feature. One of the biggest down fall is the law. The law focus on keeping drivers, passengers, and pedestrians safe. They also said that the only safe car has a human driver in control at all times. Because of this most states, it is illegal to even test computer-driven cars. Some manufactures believe that even more states will follow as soon as the cars are proven more reliably safe. One of the biggest question is that if the technology fails and someone happens to be injured, who fault is it? Is it the driver or the manufacturer? I believe it would be the drivers fault because it was there fault they decide try to have a driveless car. This is one reason many people won't want to buy those type of cars. Even thought it has a big problem it can also be use for good things. Google cofounders said he can foresees they the cars will use half the fuel of today's taxi and is far more flecibiloty than a bus. Everybody wants to save money of gas so everybody would want to own one. He also stated that the cars would change the world. Another good thing is that if you're running late and you don't know that fastest way to get there, you can get you're car to drive you there while the car is taking the fastest way. If you are on a road trip and you been driving for six hours stright, you might get board of driving. So that's when you activate the car to drive by it's self, instead of stopping and taking a break and take long on the trip. If the car is driving when you're taking a break, then you will get to you're desination faster. But that could still be a while before we can do that. Driverless cars have a lot to work on before that can truly happen.
What to I think about driverless cars? I believe they can become a everyday thing we use. The only thing few thing stopping use from that is money and the law. Once we can get the more to start making these and we make a driveless-car that can meet the requirements, then we can start pumping out these cars that everbody would want to have.

9022E3076084,"I'm against driverless cars and trucks. I'm against driverless cars on the road because everyone woud have to buy the car at the same time or this wouldn't work.
This wouldn't work because the first half of people who get the driverless car will be safer. But then the half that doesn't have the smart car will run to the smart car and we are still back to square one. As it says in the story ""sensors are nothing new."" Sensors are always going to fail there is no way to stop technolgy from failing on point in time. Everything is too new. When one of the parts need replaced on these smart cars its going to cost a fourtne to fix. You already see how with all the technolgy in our cars now its getting to expensive to fix. The problem is the flaw is that they are going to have to keep updating cars and maps in the cars so the car to know the fastest way to the destination. Also if there is unexpected road work it will be try to go right threw the road work and i dont see that working.
The next problem i invision is that all the laws will have to be changed to meet the critera of the car. This will in a way force the people who dont want to buy a smart car to have to buy one. As stated in paragraph 9 the car are not reliable enough for the laws to get changed.
This is not a safe idea at all because there will always be that one parent that who will program there car to do something for the child and they will expect the car to get to that destination safely. But the risk of a malfunction is very great. The parent doesn't see the risk until it is too late and the child is either hit by another motorist or the car malfunctions and the kid runs into something and the car has gotten wrecked. I also don't feel like it should be the manufacturers fault for the stupidity of the parent.
Another problem is that if a person wants to stop at some where or at a gas station for a snack or for a restroom break they can't. They can't because the car was only programed to go to that certain place. So in other words you would have to go to the destination then turn right around and go to the gas station or store.
As of right now i still think that humans are way more reliable than technolgy. I feel like there will always be accidents. There is no way of stopping people from running in to each other at least once in the cars lifetime. You need alot more research fome me to go along with the idea of having smarter cars. So that is why I think that car should not be smarter yet.

According to recent studies and stories from around the world, car transportation popularity is decreasing dramatically. Some advantages of limiting car usage that the United States will benifit from include: reducing greenhouse gases emitted making for a better environment, and less usage of cars can lower stress and is safer.
By limiting the amount that the citizens of the United States operate their vehicles, the condition of our environment's atmosphere will improve. As stated in Source 1, ""and up to 50 percent in some car-intensive areas in the United States."" This passage is referring to the amount of greenhouse gas emitted here in America because of passenger cars. By not using car and taking advantage of other methods of transportation such as buses, walking, and riding a bike that number can be reduced significantly. In the United States we are also learning from mistakes made by other countries and cities. ""After days of near-record pollution,"" Source 2 says, ""Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city."" A lesson can be taken from Paris of how we do not want to end up in a situation like that. By limiting our driving currently we can avoid having to take major steps to clean and clear our environment. ""It will have beneficial implications for carbon emissions and the environment, since transportation is the second largest source of America's emissions, just behind power plants,"" a sociologist predicts in Source 4. Environmental advantages of reducing greenhouse gas is a major way we can benifit from limiting car usage.
A decent amount of stress comes with owning and operating a motorized vehicle. You are constantly worrying about if you will be late, or if you have enough gas to make it from point A to point B. Children are another concern and trying to keep them safe around roads and driving by themselves. Limiting the use of cars can create a less stressful, and safer society. In Source 3 it explains that, ""Parks and sports centers also have bloomed throughout the city; uneven, pitted sidewalks have been replaced by broad, smooth sidewalks; rush-hour restrictions have dramatically cut traffic; and new restaurants and upscale shopping districts have cropped up."" Lowering the use of cars can make life a little less busy because it is one thing less that you have to worry about throughout your day. Heidrun Walter said, in Source 1, ""When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way."" Reducing the usage of cars can promote a less stressful and safer lifestyle here in the United States.
Although the use of cars may be convienent, the benifits of limiting the usage may be beginning to outweight the inconviences. Between reducing the greenhouse gas creating a cleaner environment as well as lessening stress and making the roads safer, the advantages of limiting car usage in the United States are major.

0B998187123D,"Have you ever been making a decision and didn't know who to ask for advice? Well the best option is to ask multiple people. Most people make a decision after asking only one person for advice, but when you ask multiple people you're more likely to make a better choice. Asking multiple people for advice and getting different opinions is good because you can think about all the factors, you will have options rather then having one person tell you what to do, and lastly if everyone gives you the same advice its probably the best option to choose.
The first reason I believe talking to more then one person about advice is better for making choices, is that you will have options rather then having one person tell you what to do. When you only take advice from one person it can be bias as to where when you get multiple opinions you see both sides. For example lets say you were thinking about getting a dog your friends would say something like ""Yes you should get a dog they're so cute."" but your mom might say ""They are a lot of work and responsibility."" so when you ask different people you get to see both sides of a situation.
The second reason I think asking multiple people for advice is you get a bunch of different opinions. Like lets say you aren't sure if you want to be friends with someone anymore one person you ask might say ""You should just cut them off completely."" but maybe someone else might say ""You dot have to stop being friends with them just maybe dont hang out as much.""
With both of these answers in mind you have options to choose from when making a decision.
The final reason I believe that asking many people for opinions is better for making choices is when more people say the same the greater the chance of it being a good choice. For example when you are trying to choose between two things like what to get for lunch a salad or a sandwich and the majority of people are saying sandwich thats probably the one you should get.
In conclusion asking multiple people for advice and getting many opinions back is good because you can think about all the different factors, you will have options rather then having one person tell you what to do, and finally if everyone is saying the same thing its probably a good choice to make. If you are ever struggling to make a decision its better to have multiple people weigh in on the situation rather than just one.

I a student of this school thinks that no student should be forced to do community service thats just not right, I think it should be a choice to do it or not, kinda like a club there's two types of kids the first type is the lay back do nothing all day. they don't pay attention in school and really don't care. there parents don't care there cause they spoil him/her till the point they get everything they want and when they want. this kind of kid doing community service? ya right good luck then there's the other type of kid who works his/her butt of in school everyday and tries his best in school. they do it because its there goal. there parents encourage them to do better and set a goal for them they don't always get what they want but, to me parents satisfaction to me is more than enough.
for example if there's a kid who would do it just to hang out with friends and get in the way why bother forcing kids to do it when there just going to get in the way. there just going to bug your staff and give them a hard time.
then the kids that look forward to helping the community and will help something. in the long run they find joy in doing it.
Let me ask you a question if you were a kid in middle school and after school would you'll look forward to it or would you rather spend time with your friends. ya i would want to spend time with my friends too. so if you wouldn't do it then why make kids do it?

I am STUDENT_NAME a student of your who wants to protest against the b average policy. People should have at least have a c average to play sports not a b average to play sports. One reason i think it is bad to set it at a b average is what if the best player on the team has a c average and cant play because the principal made the grade change to a c average. We should actually get a vote on the b average policy because i believe we got a vote it would come out being a c average. Therefore, theses are a couple of reasons we should stick with a c average for a student principal.
I do get the side you are coming from to principal. I understand that you want to set a higher average on the students so they will try harder. What if some kids try there hardest and still cant get a b average and have a c average. I know you probably think that all the kids can to do it if they set there mind to it ,but the truth is that will never happen. Also if you set a c average it will take a little stress off the kids because if you set it to a b average they will do homework until there brain is fried. So i understand where your coming from.
So Principal i hope you take this letter and think about it. I am just telling you now if you set it to a b average for sports some of your best players are going to not be playing anymore. I hope you find in your heart that kids don't need stressed out all the time they need breaks from homework.

0741F0C1D776,"The Internet is Building a Stronger Workforce
COVID-19 is spreading across the world. Now this disease has killed more people than influenza has this year. Epidemiologists for the CDC are recommending that colleges across the country shut down their campuses and revert to online school so that they disperse the student population to lower the chances of the students getting infected. This suggestion has been readily accepted in colleges throughout the country. Soon public schools could follow the colleges' lead. More and more public schools are introducing a plethora of online classes. Many students are now able to do classwork and take assessments online as well as conference with their teachers from the comfort of their home. Students would benefit from online school through more direct, one on one learning with teachers, building each students aptitude with technology for their future participation in the workforce, and allowing students with a variety of ailments to continue their education at home.
First of all, with online classes students would be able to interact with their teachers on a more personal level. Currently, if a student needs help with homework or a concept that they are struggling with, most often, they will have to come and see their teacher before or after school. Some students simply do not have that availability to see their teacher or are too embarrassed to ask their teacher during the class session. With classes being taken online, the student could simply email the teacher privately to work out a time to video conference their teacher for help. This simple interaction with teachers would show that students could go to their teachers more easily and would feel more comfortable when asking questions. With this increase of inquiries, scores in the grade book could go up, increasing parental and student satisfaction. Due to the introduction of online education, teacher-student interaction would become easier and more common.
Second of all, Students would be able to become build their technological skills parallel to learning new material. Many employers in this hyper-technological world are looking for employees that will be able to keep up with new technologies as well as help their business grow. While students are at school, they have access to technology, but this access is limited and most often very basic for most people. If schools' education was offered online, many students would rapidly become accommodated with new and more complex programs and applications. Teachers could require logging of time spent studying on spreadsheets, or taking screen shots of research, as well as making projects on three-dimensional design software for every student that they have. So many things in the classroom would have to be transferred online, making students who graduate highly valued to any employer looking to hire somebody. Highschool students who become adept at using online applications would be beneficial for a student and future employers.
Third of all, any student that has to stay at home or be hospitalized due to a sickness would be able to continue their education. Throughout the year every school has a variety of issues, but one issue can truly devastate an education. If a student that is a tenth grader comes to school with what they think is a minor cold and goes about their entire day, many students would interact with this sophomore and soon all of these students would be home sick. Due to the transmission those classes would only have half the students it should have. This issue is morbidly obvious. However true this issue is, disease cannot spread through technology. Any students taking these online courses would be safe from any other students who are sick. This would allow schools' education to run with a little more grease on their axles. Due to students having an online education many students who become sick would not have to pause their education for any amount of time.
In order to address those opposed, it is understandable for anyone to do so, but not forgivable. Many would say that the students would lose their friends, that they might become awkward, and that students might even cheat on assessments. All of these are understandable, but they are not without solution. Schools would be getting rid of their on campus schooling but would still host extracurricular activities and sporting events, along with gym classes, as well as dances and pep rallies. This would help retain student friendships at school. Students cheating on assessments has been a problematic in all school systems for years, writing on your arms and hands, looking at a friend's paper to see which bubbles they filled in, or even feverishly copying someone's homework in the hallways outside of a class. While online learning may be a good fix for a lot of these issues it could open up new problems as well. Students could use their phones to search for answers to a variety of tests or share their answers with friends via text message. Their is no end to the creativity of someone who wants to cheat on an assignment, that is why a student's parent could supervise the student on each test and let the teacher know that the student was honest. This would be an easy way of reassurance for all instructors.
In conclusion, online school for students could be greatly beneficial. Through one on one interaction with teachers, spurring more inquiries from pupils, becoming more proficient with technology at school and in the workplace, and allowing students who are afflicted with disease, and sometimes an injury, to attend school. Online school would benefit many students in this modern world.

I think that you should allow phones at school as long as they are off during class. That way, we wouldn't have to keep our phones in our school bags all day. We would be able to carry them around in school. There could be some pros to this, and some cons to this. Some pros could be this: if something went wrong at school, or someone got hurt, we would be able to call our parents and tell them what happened. Or say we forgot something at home, we would be able to text our parents to ask them if they would be able to bring us what we have forgotten. In that way, cell phones would be a very useful thing to have.
Some cons could be that some students might not listen to these rules and have them on during class. Or besides just having them on, they may text people or play games on their phones. Students could also use cell phones as a way to cheat on tests. They could text each other the answers. Teachers would just have to trust us that we wouldn't cheat on something. Or that we would have our phones off during class time. I guess there really is no way to tell if we have our phones off during class time. If a student is caught doing something with a cell phone during class time, the cell phone should be confiscated until the end of the school day when the student can come and pick up his/her cell phone.

These opinions can either help the person with learning about a topic or they could just be receiving incorrect information. This can also lead to the person becoming confused about the topic and ultimately fail to resolve their topic.

I object to your thoughts about changing the school policy. You said that anyone under a B average cannot participate in any school activities. Being a C average girl myself, I think it is not fair. I mean if you have a C average at least your still passing right ? I understand anything lower than a C should not be aloud, but under a B is just stupid in my opinion. You also said that many students at your school are maintaining a C average. Therefore if you change the policy you will not have many students will you ? I'm pretty sure a lot of other students will agree with me too. Anyways I think the C average students should at least have the chance to bring their grades up and still participate. Because, it is quite unfair of you to punish the students who are still passing school. No, I'm not saying this because I have a school average of C, I'm saying because I just think it's unfair. I believe everyone should have a second chance. The failing students should have a second chance too, but their failing so their focuses shouldn't be on doing activities. They should be focusing on passing. This is just how I feel about it all.

It should be all about the people and what they want and who they want as the leader of the country not who the Electoral College puts in the office. Also the Electoral College is a process not a place but their are people that run the Electoral College and they put in who they want and not who the people want.
The counting of the electoral votes is done by Congress. Also the Electoral College consists of 538 electors. ""In Texas, for instance, and wanted to vote for John Kerry, youd vote for a slate of 34 Democratic electors pledged to Kerry."" The votes would go to be electoral votes instead of what the people. Someone can be voted in to office by the peoples vote but it has to be that the other person might get in by the electoral votes instead of the individual votes.
The electoral vote overrule the peoples votes. For example ""Obama received 61.7 precent of the electoral vote compared to only 51.3 percentof the popular votes cast for him and Romney."" It just is not fair for the people to vote for who they want as president and the Electoral College puts who they want in instead who people want in office. The people want who they want not who you put in office. In the state of Florida there are 29 electoral votes, Texas there are 38, California has 55.
These are reasons why the Electoral College should be changed to the election of the popular votes. It is only fair to do that instead of having it as someone that the people did not want in office.

D15D74E790E7,". Phones & Driving
While using your phone anywhere sounds like a fun idea, it may not be the brightest idea... while driving. Technology is definitely a stepping-stone for all entertainment as a whole. Back then, in a not so distant past, people had to find things that entertained them, like objects around the room. There honestly was not much to do. Then came the commercial distribution of the home television. Eventually, almost every home in the country had at least one television. At that point, people could watch films and shows from the comfort of their home, instead of getting dirty or injured outside. Many years later came the technological advancement of telephones, known more modernly as smartphones. Smartphones were definitely a huge step in technology, because now you can take your entertainment with you. However... it may not have been the best thing.
Obviously, with this sort of convenience, people developed a way to multitask while using their smartphones. However, when something requires your utmost attention, like driving, that would be when you should probably put the phone down. However, using Bluetooth to answer calls is highly acceptable. The main problem at hand is looking at your phone while driving; it is a safety hazard. Now, there are pros, just as there are cons.
Texting while driving is now just as illegal as not wearing your seatbelt in Georgia. That does not mean you cannot use your phone for other things though. Cell phones have many different tools that can help you. Like a compass, or a clock, or especially a GPS. Obviously, you will not need a compass unless you are following a map in your car. The GPS, however, is a perfectly good example as to why using your phone while driving is a good thing. All you do is enter the address/coordinates and you just follow the route, while occasionally checking your screen to see if you are on track. Perfect for multitasking in the car.
Now onto the cons. There are excessively too many cons for you to even consider using your phone while operating a vehicle. The amount of distractions and casualties the problem creates should be more than enough to convince you to put your phone down while driving. Not only are you putting yourself at risk by doing this, but also anyone else who's near you on the road. So many people are injured and/or killed every year because of someone's poor decision to multitask, when their hand should be on the wheel.
To sum it all up, it can be both a blessing and a curse. You benefit from using phones and driving in some ways, but also risk harming others in the process. Texting while driving is not worth more than your well-being. If you are going to bring your phone, at least be smart about it. If not, you might end up like every ""texting while driving"" story; dead or severely injured. Just... think about it.

So what is even the point of having a so called ""driverless"" car if its not completely driverless. I would think if someone was going to go spend money on what I assuming to be is a very expensive car, that they bought for it specific reason so they do not have to drive for any cicumstances.
If Google were to start selling these so called ""driverless"" cars, and something were to happen would it be the person in the car's fault or the cars? Honestly I feel like this would be a huge conflict if they were to become public. For example if someone got into an accident would it be there fault not paying attention in the ""driverless"" car. If Google is going to say they have a ""driverless"" car I think they should make it completely driverless, so itcould be worth your money and prevent accidents.

If you make a car that you don""t have to drive then doesn't that just defet the whole purpose of driving?

We dont need computer opperated cars to drive for us when we can just do the work ourselves. Like I said before it teaches us responsiblitly, and without responsiblitly what would this world become?

I think community service is very important to our city because many cities are filthy and dirty and need cleaning, if we can get the whole school to do it, it would be great, and it would also become a good opportunity for our city, but i don't think it would be fair if the whole school is forced to do it, i would prefer if you were to make a list so people are free to sign up if they want to join community service.
Another example why community service shouldn't be highly instructed is because some kids might have some important things to do at home and might not have free time to help the community. Also not many kids have time to help because of all their homework and chores they might have at home.
The list would be an excellent idea because the people that sign up would most likely have time to help and would probobly be dedicated to doing community service.

9DF6EA80A0A6,"Transportation is a must in today's society, and car usage plays a big role in the subject. Limiting car usage has many advantages. Reduced usage of cars can help the enviroment in various ways. Less car usage can help citizens be less dependent on cars, and can be a great stress reliever for others.
The enviroment is a big part of the lives of people and needs to be taken care of. Cars are known for polluting the air and damaging the enviroment. One of the problems about the air pollution involves greenhouse gas emissions. In the article (""In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars"" by Elisabeth Rosenthal), Paragraph 5 states ""Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe... and up to 50 percent in some car-intensive areas in the United States"". Limiting car usage can reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Smog is another issue due to car usage. Paris is a known city for smog. In the article (""Paris bans driving due to smog"" by Robert Duffer), it says ""Paris typically has more smog than other European capitals... [Last] week Paris had 147 micrograms of particulate matter (PM) per cubic meter compared with 114 in Brussels and 79.7 in London, Reuters found."", meaning that smog is a big problem in the enviroment. Air pollution can be reduced with limited car usage and can help the enviroment in which we live in. Being independent can be one of the many benefits of limited car usage.
Relying on car usage can put people at a disadvantage. Limiting car usage can help citizens become less reliant on automobiles. Paragraph 20 states ""BOGOTA,Colombia-In a program that's set to spread to other countries, millions of Colombians hiked, biked, skated or took buses to work during a car-free day yesterday, leaving the streets of this capital city eerily devoid of traffic jams."" (Source 3, Andrew Selsky). There are many differents ways of using transportation without having to rely on car usage. Jobs and businesses can be accessible through many alternative choices of transportation. Source 4, by Elisabeth Rosenthal, states ""He and I have similar obsercations about our children. Mine (19 and 21) have not bothered to get a driver's license, even though they both live in places where one could come in handy. They are interested, but it's not a priority. they organize their summer jobs and social life around where they can walk of take public transportation or car-pool with friends."" (paragraph 39). Different Transportaion routes, or options, gives a wider variety of getting somewhere. Limited car usage can help citizens be more independent with transportation. Limited Car usage can be a way of relieving stress.
Citizens believe that limited car usage gives them the advantage of relieving stress. ""When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way,"" (Source 1, Paragraph 3). Reduced car usage can cause a fellow citizen to feel happier. Paragraph 35 of Source 4 says ""The Internet makes telecommuting possible and allows people to feel more connected without driving to meet friends."" Citizens feel more connected with friends without the neccessity of car usage. Less Driving impacts the lives of citizens in a postive way.
Limited car usage can only be seen as an advantage, it brings out many positive things. Reduced Car usage is Enviroment friendly and reduces air pollution. Less driving is a better way of being independent and stress-free. The world can be a better place with limited use of automobiles.

9F2336DE1875,"Imagine having a piece of technology tell you how you're feeling. I do not think that the use of technology to read our emotions would be valuable in a classroom. If they were used, the students may get mad, it could be a bother to the teacher, or it would be costly and takes regular upkeep.
If technology was used in classrooms, it would not be valuable. The students in the classrooms sometimes want to hide how they feel about someone or something, and having a machine track what they feel, could trigger them. A student can sometimes hide their anger about a student or assignment, but if this was applied, it would be obvious. Another reason they wouldn't be valuable is because if it reads the wrong emotion of someone, they person's anger or emotion may rise and become an even larger ordeal. Someone can already tell what is felt just by looking at someone's face for the most part, as the author stated in paragraph 5, so there is no point to have to have a machine do the same thing. A friend would be also able to see if you are faking a smile or hiding what you really feel. The teachers also are another reason they wouldn't hold any value.
A second reason that the machine is not worth it is because of the teachers responses. A teacher may now see how a student feels about something and this could lead to more disiplinary issues. The teacher may feel annoyed if the students become amused and there would not be a point to teaching. In paragraph six, it says, ""Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor."" and this shows that they are becoming like a teacher and this could lead to a decrease in available jobs, kind of like what is happening with robots. The placement of these machines in classrooms could cause more stress on teachers and more to worry about on top of the student's needs. They aren't only a bad idea because of the teachers and students, but also the upkeep.
The final reason they should not be placed in classrooms is because of the price and upkeep. The machines would not be a cheap purchase and the schools have better items to buy for the school. The school my have to hire more people to make sure they are always working and this is also using more of the schools money. The device would be like any other piece of technology and would also require updates. The ""Da Vinci Code"" would not be totally accurate every time, and that could lead to a disruption.

Such as if a student goes to apply to Dartmouth with a GPA of 3.8 but he did not do anything to help his community or did many sports, but then theirs another student who has a GPA of 3.2 but has helped his community a lot and has participated in many sports. Who would you think the university will pick for a spot? Also, people think that community service takes too much time away from what they need or want to do, and that is wrong because when you are helping people it is not wasting time because you are doing something that helps influence and the people around you.
To help a community you have to have something inside of you that is called ""Compassion"" because you are showing compassion when you go and help the elderly women plow that snow from her yard, you are showing compassion when you go and help that man bring his things inside his house, you are showing compassion when you go pick up that wrapper off the floor to take less work from that janitor. So in my case I think that community service should be required because it affects the way you look toward something and will help less teenagers become less violent because they are doing stuff that helps the community and they are having fun which is better that going to go take drugs on the streets.
Another reason that i think that community service should be require because imagine if one person can make a difference by planting that plant, imagine what thousands of kids can do. They could help elderly people, pick up trash, tutor those kids who need special education or just need a tutor. Most of the teenagers could do this and much more. Also our city is turning into a very hostile city and there is killing everywhere, if we could bring all of the teenagers together and make them do something to help the community they would see that here is hope in their future and they could stop doing bad things and start doing good things
So in conclusion I think that the principle should require all of the students to do community service because if we put something in something will come out so that means that if they do good things for their community, the community will give good things back. Also, people think that community service takes too much time away from what they need or want to do, and that is wrong because when you are helping people it is not wasting time because you are doing something that helps influence and the people around you. So teenagers need something to influence their lives in a good way rather than just sitting around at home playing video games . It is also a good way for them to entertain themselves and if one ""cool"" kid from school does community service it will influence other kids to do community service just to be cool and they could finally get up and do something for their community.

893B6A0CDB2D,"When you have to make a choice in a situation you don't feel confident in the situation you will ask for advice; logically speaking, the more advice you get, the better your decision will be. This can apply in scenarios of where the decision maker is in a place of discomfort, bias, or lacking the confidence.
But nonetheless, this topic can't be resolved in just a paragraph, so we will continue onward.
This can apply in scenarios of where the decision maker is in a place of discomfort.
Being selected by yourself alone can be stressful enough, but when you must make a decision about a topic you may be uncomfortable with the end results can be deafening. The amount of pressure that would be placed on that person's shoulders alone could be extremely hurtful, and if they aren't even comfortable with the topic in the beginning than they just couldn't make a clear choice
But when they are gifted compassion and advice, they will be able to make a choice that was not created through a state of panic but a state of calm.
Another way might be when the decision maker has thoughts of bias.
A biased opinion would be one that was created out of personal thoughts alone without further research, and to have those sources in order to make a decision that will effect others who disagree with it.
When two different opinions are met, they will most likely either fight for their opinion, or accept that other people are allowed to have separate opinions about certain things. A biased person will not be able to do that without help. As long as there is bias, there will be a strong lining of stubbornness that will need to be broken down by facts and reasoning. The advice given by others will eventually do so, and then the decision maker will be able to present a fair, just, and unbiased choice.
The third and final would be lacking confidence in themselves to making the possibly life-effecting choice.
The kind of things that may be racing though a their heads would make it unbearable to decade what to do, you must have full confidence in order to make a choice that is set in stone.
When you ask advice, you ask from different point of view, one that has full confidence in themselves in order to give you an honest answer. The only to learn is through experience, therefore, the decision maker figure out on their own how to gain confidence by listening to someone who has confidence and is giving them advice.
In conclusion, the best way to make a fair decision is seeking multiple opinions from others in order to make the better choice.
Through advice, people who do not feel comfortable in the situation they are in will be able to give an answer that will be worth it; people of bias will be able to see past their personal views and give an equal answer; People who are not confident enough in themselves to make an exact answer will be able to learn and use those moments of submissiveness into teaching moments. Everyone deserves to make a choice, but there are always some people who need some help discovering it.

4423B65DF221,"There has always been extracurricular activities being offered in schools, even in my old house in Generic_City, but many students don't take advantage of these resources given to them. This is why I believe that students should be required to do at least one extracurricular activity. I make this claim for three reasons, the first of which being that students are more involved in the community that the school built around them. My second reason is that students doing sport related activities helps with exercise and having the need to stay in shape for the team and the school. Last but not least, my third reason is that students that may not have many friends could use these activities as a way to get to know people that are doing the same sport or are in the same band. So I believe that these extracurricular activities would be beneficial not only to the students but the school as a whole.
For my first reason I stated that doing an extracurricular activity helps students get involved in a community that was created around them. Students that join sports or other activities provided usually get to know others that participate in the same team or group that the student does. Another reason to back up my claim is that in clubs or competitive sports teams these students generally train together and help each other succeed in the task that they are working towards achieving. I believe that these activities would help tremendously with letting students get to know each other and further strengthening the schools community.
My second claim is that doing extracurricular sports help students get exercise that generally they would not get, had they not been told to do any exercise outside of school. If these students play for a school team (football, wrestling, etc.) there is intense training involved that from, personal experience, is not easy. Im not saying to go run a mile or anything but these sports try to get every competitor in great condition in order to get students to succeed in tournaments and bouts or matches against other teams. So there is a huge exercise component to most sport related activities.
For my third reason, let's start with a small story. So, imagine that there is a student that moves around every two to four years. it was pretty difficult to make friends so he generally stayed at home playing video games by himself and didn't really go out at all. That was me until around three years ago and doing sports like wrestling and rugby have helped me make friends. So I understand how difficult it is to always be the new kid but these activities let me make friends and get to know people. Students that do these activities usually make friends with the people that have the same interests in activities.
I believe that enforcing this rule would be beneficial not only to the school but the students as well and these reasons are why I believe in this rule. Communities get built around the students when they do these extracurricular activities. Physical fitness is also a big motivator for a few students with sports related activities. And last but not least, these students can make friends in these activities like I did when I used to move around a lot. Extracurricular activities would be a good service to enforce in schools.",,564,Mandatory extracurricular activities,Independent,"Your principal has decided that all students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity.

Second you will have less knowledge of cars when you think the car just drives by itself. Last you won't remember what to do and you'll panick when danger comes. That's why I think we shouldn't have driverless cars.
First, I think having driverless cars are really dangerous. One reason I think of that because you will not pay attention and you think that technology will take over. Technology isn't always the best source to trust. You can never trust technology because there will always be an error and the car will not work properly and the manufacture will be in alot of trouble for all the harm that has happen.
Second, you will have less knowledge with your vechile, when you think the car can do it all by theirselves. You will get to the point of being lazy and not worrying when danger comes because you won't worry about getting into danger when the car knows what to do. You will always rely on the vechile to do things for you and won't care what happens and you'll just blame it on the vechile and say it wasn't your fault even though it was part of your fault.
Last, you won't remember anything you learned and you will lack knowledge. When that comes you'll panick and be confuse when you don't know something. When danger comes you won't know what to do and you will panick and get into an accident.

F486B5722EEB,"Relaxing and warm, the summer approaches after a year of trecherous hard work and learning. But that needed break is interupted by a project that is due at the end of the summer. Over the summer projects should be student designed to allow creativity, inclusivity and give students opportunity to learn about a topic they are passionate about.
During the school year all projects have rubrics, exact instructions and little time to add personal creative touches, but with elongated time and less strict boundries students will be able to tap into their inner creativity and manifest a project that is new and interesting for anyone that views it. Students will be more proud of their project if they have extra time and freedom to make it personal by adding creativity. Often the classroom limits creatvity, so when they are outside of the classroom students should have the room to be as creative as possible. Esspecially because when students are out of school and in the real world creativity is going to be encouraged, so why not start allowing students to utilize their creative mind in a safe environment.
Over the summer students are at home and do not have the resources avaliable that are typically exposed to in a school. Without these resources students might not be able to create a project that is teacher designed. A student designed project, however, would allow students to use their surronding to create a project unique to them. This will allow them feel more connected to the project and encourage them to create somthing excellent. Everyone has a range of strengths and weaknesses and by allowing students to design their own project they will feel more included and are then able to tailor the project to their strengths. If the project is somthing that the student is good at then they will be able to create a better finishing product. In my AP Biology class we do lots of projects, but I'm always less passionate and frusterated by the projects that envolve drawing because it is one of my weaknesses. If the projects were student designed I would be able to create a project that I was really interested in making.
It may seem like a student designed project could be less neat and careless but if the student is passionate about their topic then they will be interested in designing. It will also be important to them, so they will work hard to make it the best they can. My favorite class is psychology and whenever I have a project in that class I want to spend extra time on it and make sure it is good because the topic is important to me. A student designed project is also benefical because students are only outside of school for the summer and on short breaks, so why not utlize this new freedom of being out of school to allow students to design their own project they are passionate about.
A student designed project that allows them to explore passions could inspire a students future career and allow them to learn about something that could further their education in a useful way. If they are passionate about the topic the project will seem less like a burden and more like an opportuntity to make learning fun. If the project is student designed and they are really passionate about it they may decide to continue the project even after it is done. This could end up benefitting the community by supplying a learning tool or by helping a group of people in need.
Allowing over the summer projects to be student designed will allow students to be creative, inclusive to all student environments and strengths and provide an opportuity for students to explore on of their passions in depth. All of these things are benefical to the student and should be encouraged, so that students can grow and learn outside of school as well as during the school year.

Almost everyone in school is stressing about something,so attending classes online would help a lot. For example: It gives us more time to finish our work for other class and stress less, because to me having the advantage to attend online classes would help out a lot, and also i might have other classes to worry about. so having an option for us the students to attend class from home by using online or video conferencing might not sound the worst. And could help students who are suffering from anxiety and having any type of stress. By using online classes they could listen to music to clam themselves down and not having any signs of a panic attack, because in school not every class or teachers might let the students use their phone to listen to music; they might not be able to know if the student is having a panic attack, but at home if they are attending classes online and having a panic attack their parents would be there to help them clam down.
Most students need to stay home in order to help with family emergence. Research has show that almost 50% of the time if the student is not at school, then they are at home helping out with their siblings at home, doing that they skipping school and losing an education, but with online classes they can do both without skipping class or missing anything in school.

Activities are things you can do on the side for fun, and they help keep you active almost everyday. However, do you think that the principal should make all students participate in at least one extracurricular activity? Saying that, in addition to the principal's decision, I agree that all students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity because an activity helps with communication, it helps students keep their minds off of the bad behaviors that they have, and parents' would not have to stress about their child.
First, an activity could help with communication. students would be able to socialize with their peers around them, in particular, they would be able to discuss and share things with each other. Also, students would take turns on sharing their thoughts and plans with their peers. Students would also learn how to work together. They would have fun activities that requires teamwork to accomplish it. Not to include that Students would have to get along with each other or else there would be consequences.
Next, It helps students keep their minds off of the bad behaviors that they have. The activities would help the students to not focus on being in the streets. The reason for that is that students would be occupied with the activity that they're in. Also, they would not be a part of any violence because of their activity. Students won't be able to go out with gang members because they're too busy after school. The same goes for fighting and any other type of violence as well.
Finally, parents' would not stress about their child. One of the reasons that parents' would not stress is because the extracurricular activities that are provided would be held after school. In that case, parents' would not have to worry about leaving work early to pick their child up. Also, there would be food provided for students. Students would have school dinner after their activity. In addition of saying that, parents' wouldn't have to worry about their child being overly hungry after school.
Some people might disagree with this decision. They might say '' I have other things to do,"" or, "" I don't like any of the activities provided!"" However, what they don't think about is how extracurricular activities can affect them positively!

5AF0FDB89DAE,"The idea of a driverless vehicle seems ingenious and practical, but to long for a society whose transportation soley relies on such a concept is ludacris. My name is Christian and in this essay I will elaborate as to why I am biased toward this insane concept.
Throughout history, humanity has aimlessly strived for greatness. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, however, with every action there is an equal or opposite reaction; meaning humanity has both innovative and ingenious ideas and utterly insane ones as well. It's in our nature to strive for more and granted a driverless vehicle appears practical, it's toxic to our survival. It seems as time has progressed people have developed a dependency on technology and, quite frankly, have become more lazy. Individuals ""need"" a cell-phone or ""need"" the lastet iPad. However, these items are merely superficial. Humans don't need a driverless vehicle; the average human is certainly capable of learning how to drive and it's a milestone to look forward to accomplishing.
In addition, we cannot rely on technology to watch our six. The technology and machinery in Google's driverless vehicle is built "" . . . to mimic the skill of a human at the wheel."" This skill cannot be replicated. A computer is composed of circuits, wires, drives, etc. and what if something malfunctions? Cellular phones, gaming consoles, computers today are constantly needed to be updated because of bugs and other system malfunctions. What if a driverless vehicle's system froze or glitched whilst driving someone on the freeway? With a human, you don't neccessarily need to worry about a malfunction because we are not programmed machines. Our perception on the world cannot replicated through the metaphorical eyes of a machine. It is insane to believe a world whose transportation relies on driverless vehicle is safe.
Not only is the idea dangerous, but what if a person doesn't wish to not drive? The world isn't some text-book utopian society where everyone conforms to corporate buisness ideas. People will oppose and contradict the idea which may evoke an unneccessary uproar. Therefore, to believe the world's transportation should rely on such a ludacris idealology is idiotic.
I believe the idea of driverless vehicle may be put to practical use in other aspects such as military operations or local police department services. I, however, wholeheartedly contradict the notion that the world's transportation should rely on some artificial technological system.

5C75990D9E18,"The Facial Action Coding System enables computers to identify human emotions. Some people say that we should have facial recognition in the computers in schools so that if the student looks bored or confused, the computer will change it up a little bit for their liking. It will also be able to help teachers know when a student needs assistance or needs a more energizing lesson. Using this technology in classrooms is valuable because it will help teachers change their actions and might help the student become more engaged.
Schools all over the world would really benefit from the Facial Action Coding System. By using this, there could be a possibility of more engaged students and finally result in higher test scores. Dr. Huang says,""A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored. Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor."" Not only will teachers result from this, but students will as well. Just by using the computer system, we will be able to tell how a student is feeling in that classroom or during a certain lesson. If we could see the facial expression, be able to figure out why, and change something to fix it, that would be very effective in the school setting.
Although this would be really great, many people could say that not all students have the same feelings about things so if a teacher changed his or her lesson based on one student, then some of the other students might not be as engaged or delighted. It wouldn't be right to do something based on one student rather than twenty-five. If a few students are very engaged in this lesson and they are paying attention and getting something out of it but other students are confused, if the teacher decides to make a change for the confused students, the students that were engaged in the lesson may become unengaged or bored. That would be the downfall of using this sort of technology.
A very appropriate setting for the Facial Action Coding System would be online schooling and home schooling because both of those are mainly based on the one student taking that course or class. If the camera on the computer sent a signal to the online schooler or home schooler, it would be easy to make a change in the lesson to try and get the student more engaged. Having a student pay more attention and be more engaged in a lesson could actually help raise test scores because if someone was doing something that was actually fun and they could actually retain the knowledge, it might be effective.
Using the Facial Action Coding system in classrooms is valuable and effective. It will help students become more engaged and pay more attention. It will also help raise test scores at least partially because they will be able to remember what they learned when it was something that they liked. While some might have contradictory thoughts, it is mostly a valuable piece of technology that should be used in many schools across the world.

F446AA6BC388,"I believe that the use of this technology would be valuable, as long as students sign off or allow their emotions to be detected by this software. It could be valuable to find learning plans and lessons for all students, so their learning is more interactive for them and more interesting. It could also help detect things such as depression and try report that to a parent or counselor to try and improve their situation. Eventually the software could become so advanced that it could detect suicidal thoughts, in which case, could save lives. But alas, students would have to be okay with this technology being used on them, otherwise it's an invasion of privacy.
A professor by the name of Dr. Huang at Beckman Institute at the University of Illinois is working in collaboration with Nicu Sebe of the University of Amsterdam. Dr. Huang taught a computer what facial muscles equal what emotion. If this software was implemented into school computers, I wouldn't see a problem with that. By implementing this software students could have a more interactive learning environment or a more interesting learning experience overall.

So the software needs more advanced fake emotion detection, and needs to teach things that ""seem"" boring because its still vital information humans need to live. If someone were to dislike math, but really like science and they were never taught math at all, the person would be unable to succeed in life due to this software failing.

For example im opened a program that will help me with math and they put this hard equation on the the screen i need to answer it but if i don't know it will really change my mood but the computer after looking at me have trouble for a while and my mood they can switch the question to one a little more do able or give the teacher a hint that a student need help. That will really help school all over the nation also the author also had a same thought like mines.
On paragraght 6 he said that it could tell when a student is confused and it could modefy that lesson it could be like a effectave huamn instructor'. that why
I think that we should have the facs in our computer at schools they will change the whole learning program.

Dear Principal ;
I'm asking you to change the school policy. I think it unfair to not let children participate in Sports or other activities unless they have at least a grade B average. Sport is a wonderful activities for kids to do. At school or after school , it wrong not lets kids be in sports because of there grade at school.
Many students have as their grade. Letting kids enter sports with at least an grade C , encourages kids to keep their grades at least to a C. Witch better way to have kids play sports after school , than watching t. v or gaming video games. Kids would be better at school and will have more interest. Will spend their more time playing sports. Kids would get together and will get along more. Will be more friendly to each other. Behavior will decrease due to sports.
It will be a better environment for kids in School. For this reason I think you should change the policy for the participate in sports. Kids will try their best at school and will not lower their grades. School will be a better place for students. More people would get along and be more kind. Would this be the best for us ?

I think community service is great it helps make our town, schools and community look good.
If a student or person does something wrong then they should have to do community service to show them what they did is wrong but if people want to do community service just cause they want to help our town/city or schools/businesses. if someone likes to work with kids then they could help by tutoring or by helping a person watch there kids for no cost or charge. If a person likes animals then they could volunteer at the local animal shelter. There are so many things to do for community service there ; picking up trash at a populated place, painting over graffiti, and a lot more stuff for community service.
so i think that community service should be voluntary or mandatory for people who have do something wrong that cant be fixed or forgotten.

6EEACF2CBF27,"PHONES AND DRIVING
Although cell phones have been in this world for a while they have made their way into our daily lives, we use them for just about everything like texting, schedule planning, internet surfing, etc. Sometimes we can multitask while being on it. Unfortunately, people are also choosing the wrong times to multi task: while they're driving. As a nation, we have become so focused on how much we can do do at one time that we are literally putting our life on the line, all because we can't put down our cell phones. Using any handheld device while driving is dangerous to the drivers for a couple of good reasons.
When driving sometimes it's difficult to focus on the road and where your trying to go, which makes it easy to forget the road is shared by people doing the same thing. It's not for your exclusive use. Other drivers on the road take notice to drivers on their phone whether its intentional or because of the hazard caused by it. When driving there is a great deal of skill and expertise that should go int maneuvering a 2-ton vehicle around and with other 2-ton vehicles so why end to life with a 1-pound phone?
Recently there has been a law passed saying you can't have your phone in your hand while driving and if you do and get caught you have to pay a pretty big fine. Its literally seen as illegal and there are still major accidents because of it. Using your phone while driving, no matter how good you are at driving is dangerous to the person driving, the possible passengers and the rest of the community having to deal with the reckless endangerment of citizens who don't put law and safety over their own entertainment and connection to other people. it's wrong and its being stopped slowly but surely ",,322,Phones and driving,Independent,"Today the majority of humans own and operate cell phones on a daily basis.

EB5A7CAAFFC6,"Dear Principal,
I am writing to you on behalf of all students with a grade C average who would like to play sports. I think a grade C average shows that you can do better but you just choose not to because you ""don't see the purpose"". If students with a grade C average were given the opportunity to play sports this would be the boost they need to get and keep their grades at a B average or higher . When you play a sport you come to love it, it becomes a part of your life The sport is your life! That student knows that if they FALL BEHIND in school then they will get LEFT BEHIND in sports. I think you will see a huge improvement in the grades of your students.
I also think that sports are a way to get parents involved in their child's or children's school life. when a child plays a sport they want the parents to come to come to their games. When the parent sees their child in action they feel proud. This will motivate the parent to help their child with their school work so that the child can continue to play their sport.
Sports are not only good in school but they help outside of school also. They (they being sports) are a release for troubled children. They are a safe activity after school. They are some children's only chance at college. Sports will change a child's life. I know that you would love to be a part of that change.

3BAA2C7E2CA2,"TEACHER_NAME is thinking about that students with at least a grade B average are allowed to participate in sports or other school activities. I disagree with this because, some students have just below a grade B average and i don't think that it is fair that someone who has a 2.8 or 2.9 GPA isn't allowed to participate in school events. Also, i think the rule isn't fair to those who are already on the team that have a grade C average have to be kicked of the team. Lastly, I think the rule is unnecessary.
First, the students with a GPA of a 2.8 or 2.9 that aren't allowed to be apart of school events is absurd. Why should they be not allowed to do school events they just try as hard but just don't have all the consistent grades to be at least a 3.0 GPA. Well, the rule says that they need to be at least a 3.0. Yes it does but the kids who have GPA around it have some A' s and B' s but just have some bad grades in the subject that is hard for them.
Also, the students that are already on the team that don't have a grade B average shouldn't be kicked out from the team. The reason why I say this is that they put forth the effort for the team and the school but some of the kids with a acceptable GPA
don't try as hard and they still stay on the team that's ridiculous! The kids with the lower GPA should have put forth the effort that they put in their sports. Well, they do put forth the effort in school it's just that it harder for them to keep the grades as consistent as they want to be.
Lastly, I think the rule is unnecessary because the old rule of at least C average i think was better than the new rule. The reason why i say that is that the rule now is harder so that most of the kids can't try out for the events that they want to. Yes, true but that means they have to try harder.

wrote this letter to tell you that it is completely unfair that you would change the school policy to it being that you have to have a grade B average to be in sports or other activities like that. First of all most of the kid in the school don't even have a grade B- average to start with so that means that there will be lesser kids in the different clubs or activities so they will have to shut it down and the kids will start leaving the school because there are no good clubs in the school, and then school will sooner or later shut down.
I guess i could see the reason why you would change the policy you might think kid will try harder to get a B average and maybe some kid might but those are only the kids whose parents will not let them change schools but over all that might be at least 26 percent of the kids who have lower than a B average and is definitely not going to be enough to keep the clubs or the school open. i really how you put to mind what i have to say.

Considering a policy change for students to achieve a grade B average before they are able to participate in school activities such as basketball, baseball ,and other activities is a ethical proposal.
In most schools, children dream of becoming athletes with a colossal amount of fame, but the only obstacle they need to overcome is their poor averages in their overall classes. Children need to realize that they aren't going to get a scholarship to major athletic colleges unless they succeed in their classes. They need the education of those classes to pass major exams in their future careers. When they advance in life they will need to pass iq test ,or a drug test during their life, but they wont succeed because of their education.
One kid might become the worlds most famous baseball player with a humongous amount of money and lose all that money in a instant due to the fact that he or she was scammed, robbed or, blackmailed due to the fact that he or she did not receive the proper education they were supposed to receive, because they were too caught up in sports.

CC3A5AD37340,"In my opinion i feel like the use of technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is not valuable. I think its not a good idea of technology reading our emotions. Some people do have hard time showing their feelings but its either because they are hurt or scared. Others just show their feelings and emotions. Those are the kind of people that have been hurt but still move on with their lifes. Might take them a couple of days, weeks, months or maybe even years. This generation has changed there is a lot of technology now days. Us as humans we do what we like and work on what we like to do he express our emotions on what we do.
On the other hand using technology is kind of a good idea for people that have trouble showing their feelings and emotions are the kind of people that would us technology. These kind of people that are scared to show their emotions would get this so they could get a little help to try to show their emotions. But for another reason the same people that have hard time showing their emotions are the one who would probably not use technology.
For example using technology to show the Mone Lisa painting emotions would be 83 percent happy, 9 percent disguste, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry. All of that doesnt sound right why not just express what you feel your emotions, Just be yourselfs.
On the other hand another reason why people are scared to show their emotions and feelings is because the care about what other people think about them.

3D9365E243EA,"There are many advantages to limiting car usage and many people are starting to see it. In the article ""In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars"" By Elisabeth Rosenthal; She goes to explain that in Vauban, Germany there is a community that have given up on cars. Without a car on the streets you can tell its more lively with the quote ""Heidrun walter, a media trainer and mother of two, as she walked berdants streets where the swish of bicycles and the chatter of wandering children drown out the occasional distant motor."" With that quote from the article you can tell that the streets are filled with the sound of people rather than the sound of motors and smoke from the vehicles.
Certaninly not having cars is a great advantage to suburbs, in Rosenthal article it said "" there have been efforts in the past two decades to make cities denser, and better for walking... in attempt to make suburbs more compact and more accessible to public transportation... in this new approach, stores are placed a walk away..."" Instead of wasting gas and filling the air with disgusting gas, stores could be just around the corner. Which in return would be easier for everyone around. Even the united states, enviromental protection agency is promoting""car reduced"" communites.
Another advantage to limiting car usage is to reduce smog and air pollution, in the article ""Paris bans driving due to smog"" by Robery duffer he informs us that paris actually enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the golbal city. It stated "" Congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of France, after five-days of intensifying smog... [the smog] rivaled Bejing,china, which is known as one of the most polluted cities in the world."" By banning driving they not only were able to reduce the smog and air pollution, They obviously reduced car traffic!
Also In the article ""Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in bogota"" by Andrew Selsky, they banned car in an effort to promote alternative transportation and reduce spog. In the article is said ""parks and sports center also have bloomed throughout the city; uneven, pitted sidewalks have been replaced by broad , smooth sidewalks; rush-house restrictins have dramatically cut traffic; and new restaurants andupscale shopping districts have cropped up."" The day also is said to help lower stress, "" It's a good oppurtunity to take away stress and lower air population,""said buisnessman Carlos Arturo Plaza as he rode a two-seat bicycle with his wife.
As you can tell from the facts within this essay, there are definitly many advantages with limiting car usage, from reducing smog and pollution, to having stores built closer to home.

D84C1B1050A4,"I am for driverless cars, but i also think there is concerns with these driverless cars that need to be adressed before letting driverless cars roam the streets. Safety is a big concern to me about these driverless cars, these vehicles need to be equipped to the roads for complete safety of the people. I also think these cars should be owned by owners that know how and will use the cars correctly. Not only do these vehicles need to be quipped to the roads, the driver and the people of the area around these vehicles need to be aware that these driverless cars are on the road.
In paragraph nine, the concern of safety and who will be held accountable for any incidents is a major topic of discussion. These driverless cars will add to the problems in the community if we let these driverless cars on the roads. These vehicles need to equipped with technology that will break quickly, and know when to break or speed up according the situatiion. Sensors and any other type of gadgets to these vehicles need to be installed for complete safety.
These vehicles need owners that are aware of how to use the cars. I think that certain licenses need to be earned in order to drive one of these cars. If any accidents occur with these vehicles then the owner should be accountable for the accident.
I believe certain roads, signs, lanes, etc., need to be built in order for these cars to be successful. The people need to be aware of these vehicles so their children aren't vitcims of any accident by these vehicles. If these things are in any way built, I believe these cars can be successful.

BA13728424E7,"Today we as humans live in a society that is controlled by the advancement of technology and as certain things become easier to access, we seem to get distracted by the objects we have at our disposal. Problems in our society become self-evident as statistics show the accidents that happen due to our carelessness. The purpose of this essay is to show the reader as to why cell phones should be prohibited to be in use while conducting a motor vehicle; therefore, I will state and point out facts, statistics, and different sources to support my claim.
The first argument in my essay is the amount of damage that occurs during conducting a vehicle and using a cell phone at the same time. Throughout many years, the toll taken on by drivers has increased greatly. New statistics show up every day as to why accident are occurring on the road. This leaves an increase in death rates as motor accidents can result in injury and death. Laws have been set in place to prevent these accidents; although, there is a change in the rate of accidents, people still decide to use cellphones. A change must occur in order to lower the rates of accidents caused by cell phone use. This could be the most known and dangerous reason as to why cell phones are a harmful distraction during driving.
Although using a cell phone is harmful to a person while driving, sometimes in the case of an emergency, one must use their cell phone in order to receive calls. And to improve the chance of proper navigation through roads, navigation systems allow for easier access to reach certain locations when driving. There are many reasons as to why cell phones could be useful; however, they are greatly outnumbered by the cons. Even if it's to receive a call or text, the problem is not the cell phone itself but ones conscience to obscure their focus from the road. As this is the reason as to why accidents happen in the first place. And as much as we want to reduce these accidents, we must take a priority on to our driving by ourselves setting a restriction as to when we can use our phones while driving.
In addition to my statements, although cell phone use can benefit the driver, we must still restrict any type of use until we can lower the rates of death and accidents connected to each other. As this is the only way we can fully change the situation we are in right now. More strict laws should be placed in order to combat these dilemmas. However, this will not be an immediate change in our society as some will rebel against the new laws that should be placed to be stricter, but it is a step in the right direction and a good continuation in change the social standard of using cell phones while driving. And soon in time, we will see a change in our society all together.
In conclusion, my stance in the argument on cell phone use while drives stands where I have shown in this essay. I hope you can agree with me as to why I believe in the change this will bring to our society and change the rates in accidents making our cities, town, and roads safer for everyone. This changes is a great feat that we can achieve as long as everyone is on the same page. Together we can relieve our worries of driving with care-free people driving beside us. We make our roads safer for everyone. The facts that I have stated in this essay are self-evident and require support from everyone in order to change our stands on cell phone use while driving.

81FD42FF7DBF,"Distance learning, online classrooms, e-learning, whatever you want to call it, is a type of education that has been becoming popular as of late. A classroom where it is only you and the teacher, online. This type of learning is becoming popular for a reason, and thats because it is vastly better then the traditional classroom experience for a multitude of reasons. As distance learning allows the student with a larger selections of classes, no social distractions in the classroom, and a learning environment where you can work at your own pace, not being compared and worried about the students around you.
The first reason why distance learning is superior to physical classrooms is the fact that distance learning has a much broader selection of classes. Unlike physical schools, online classes are not bound by courses that are taught. You can learn whatever interests you online, and actually develop knowledge in a field that, you might not have been to take in a physical school. Furthermore by being able to learn whatever subject interests them, students have a better path to college and a career, instead of being forced to learn about things that might prove useless to them in the future.
Another reason why distance learning is beneficial to the student, is because the student is not being pulled in by social interactions. What are the two biggest problems in a classroom? Use of technology, and talking to other classmates. In an online classroom your on technology so thats fixed, and there is no one there to distract you from your learning. This improves the learning environment drastically, and allows kids to learn without distractions, and focus on their work.
The Final reason why distance learning is good for the student is the aspect of school many kids stress about, grades. As long as I can remember students always showed their scores to one another, and compared report cards, and if somebody did bad on something, there was always torment dished out to that particular kid. With online classes this problem has been solved, students can work at their own pace, and not worry about how other kids are doing. Online classes have been proven to give students a better, and a safer place to learn without the pressures of others around them.
In conclusion, distance learning is very beneficial to the students, and has the potential to be the new norm for public education. This type of learning brings new classes, and courses to those who might not have had those available to them because of the area they live in, providing students with a better path to a career. Distance learning also giving those same students to learn without peer distractions, making a more productive learning environment. Not only that but, students can work at their own pace, and dont have to worry about what other kids think, or how good they are doing.

60137928C48B,"would using cars less improve our lives? in frnace they enforced a partial driving ban after days of near-record pollution. which is a smart idea to have a partial ban to clear the air then after that has been done they could organize something to help not have this happen in the future. they could have a day dedicated to walking or running to get in better shape. nut they have resorted to something simular.
On monday motorist with even-numbered license plates have been ordered to leave their cars at their homes for the day while odd-numbered license plates were permitied to drive that day and they would switch off every day. seems like an effective plan. although you must always think about the people who dont follow the rules. For example a driver only aloud on tuesday due to his or her odd-numbered license plate drives their car on a monday. these motorist would be issued a fine of 22 euro which in american currency is $31. a large number of motor isnt were not please with this act. in result of this act almostt 4,000 drivers were fined twenty-seven of those motorist had their vehicles impounded for their actions towards the fine they recieved. either they refused to pay or they drove again when they werent aloud to or may have acted in a hostel manner.
congestion droped around 60 percent in the capital of france after five continuos days of intesifying smog. The smog debated between beijing france and china which is the most polluted city. people wanted to know what was to blame for this. The people blamed diesel since frnace has created a tax policy that is in favor of the use of diesel or the use of gasoline. Abgout more than half of frances vehicles are fueled by diesel. 53.3 percent average of vehicles are diesel engines in the rest of europe.

7DFEAD13F3D6,"Dear Principal,
I think that you should not allow phones to be used at all in school.
If you allow phones to be used at certain times in school students will soon get to comfortable with the idea and want to use them all the time. If you allow students to use phones in lunch there could be sexing or cyber bulling going on in your school.
Many phones will be lost and stolen if this is allowed.
This idea of have phones allowed to be used at certain times in the day is not a good idea at all and should never be put through.
Policy two is the way to go.
If phones are allowed in lunch and free periods kids will get comfortable with the idea of having phones on them at all times.
If students have their phones out for lunch they may keep them on and with them for the rest of the day. You get so used to having that little square in your pocket you might forget to take it out and put it in your locker after lunch.
This can lead to phones going off during class and distraction from class because students are texting under the tables.
Phones are useful and can be good but they can also be used for bad.
In school if this is allowed the number of cyber bulling and sexing will go up trumendouly.
There are all sorts of problems and fights that go on in school but if you give them a loaded gun they will only use it for bad.
There would be many more detention and guidance visits from the students if this is allowed.
This will make your staff stress out and angry.
Children these days are clumsy and forgetful. If you let them take there phones out of their pockets every minute to answer a text they will most likely lose it somewhere.
If someone have that brand new cool phone there will be people who will steal it.
That will cause fights and just many more problems.
This will lead to more fights and a lost and found full of phones.
This idea is just not good for anyone.
It will cause distractions and poor grades.
It will cause more sexing, cyber bulling, and will lead to stressed out angry staff members.

Venus is a worthy pursuit because in paragraph 4 it explains how Venus is the most earth like planet that anyone has ever seen. In paragraph it also explains how long ago venus used to be covered with oceans and many various forms of life. Astronomers also say that venus to this day have features that analogou to those on earth. Despite the very cool things you can see in Venus it comes with a risk. NASA has come up with a possible solution. In paragraph 5 it explains how NASA is coming up with ideas to get closer to venus without any dangerous things that can happen. NASA wants to put researchers on a blimp like vehicle that can float above and hover over venus 30 miles away. NASA also explains how if they put the vehicle floating over venus it can possibly avoid the bad ground conditions that can harm you.

Since Venus is the closet planet to Earth in terms of density and size, the distance are similar too. This planet has different speeds. Though, humans have sent many spacecrafts to this dangerous land. Each mission was unmanned sicne no spacecraft ever survived the landing for a few hours.
Some dangerous this planet planet presents are, the atmosphere is thick and is almost 97 percent of carbon dioxide. The clouds are highly corrosive sulfuric acid in the atmosphere and the conditions are more extreme than human encounter in Earth.

Knowning we have other plantes that are surrounding us amd there are probaly a lot of cool things we can do out there, does sound pretty fun and cool. Most people would ask, when we get there wont we die or not even make it? Well
I´m going to chnage your mind and tell you why should vistit venus and discover all the things there,and maybe later you can think about visting he rest of the solor system.
As we all know venus is pretty close to earth. They even sometimes call it our ¨Evening star¨ or even the ¨twin¨ of earth. They feature a lot earths density and size. They really only deffer in speed ¨sometimes we are closer to mars and other times we are closer to Venus, because Venus is soetimes right around the corner¨. In my option venus is like another sun, it has the brighest points in the sky and is a very hard plantet to even look at because of its brigtness.
I´m sure we have we have all seen picture Venus or have heard story about what venus looks like or even the solor system. The pictures we have seen are sometimes close but not all the way, I´m sure there is way more background to what we know than what sciecntist know or have discovered over the last years. Astronomers are fascienated by Venus out of all plantes because¨long ago Venus may looked just like earth today.¨ Some say that Venus was probaly just like out plant, filled with water, liek a ocean type form or even have some features to our way of life. On the other hand we all know that´s not what Venus looks like today. Some say Venus still has have some features that is like earth but learning from NASA¨the plantet is like a rocky sediemnt but also have some cool feathures like valleys, mountains and maybe even creaters.¨
Finally we should just meet any imaginations that is bring upon us, even if we know we shouldn´t or it can put us in some type of ¨danger¨, you only live once so u might as well take a chance and do what you can. Even through it might take years for it to happen its worth seeing new things outside of earth. sceinctists says that we ¨cant take samples of rocks, gas or anything esle, from distance¨ hopefully they can find a way we can so if we do send people to Venus they can bring back things for us to look at. More likely I´m sure they are having resecahers working on things to allow people to go on a long lasting mission. Scienctist have thought about bringing back old technology called ¨mechincail computers, they played a important role¨.
That´s how we know and got all the info we got till this day.

I know that phone are a problem now days because student that bring phones to school are tempter to start texting in school and i think that policy 2 is a very good idea because if srudents are banned from bringing phones to school it will help not only you from taking them away ,but it will also benefit them too because I think it will also benefit them to because they will pay more attention to the class but they will also help them learn better but it will remove unecicary stress
Paying attention in class is hard but it becomes harder when your doing something else like using a phone in class thing is why every year there are more students dropping out from high schools nation wide than ever before . To prevent that in our school i sujest that u pay close attention to that .
Stress. believe it or not a student going to school has more stress than the average adult. having to use a phone with out permission provides more stress then u can believe this is because of being scared of the teacher taking it away
I hope that you have listen to my reasons on why i thing policy 2 why i think that policy 2 is better for our school and everyone in it . thank you for listening to my idea of why i would consider having policy 2.",,238,Cell phones at school,Independent,"Your principal is reconsidering the school's cell phone policy.

7AFF646F79FB,"Advantages of limiting car usuage? Is that even possible? Yes, there are many advantages of limiting your car usage, one of them being the money you'll be saving, another being less pollution. A lot of people don't care that they're wasting money on their cars or polluting the world, But what if we all gave up our cars and went eco friendly? Could you imagine how much money you'd save.
As said by Heidrun Walter in source one, ""When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way."" Loosing their cars isn't a big deal to them, it relives them of stress and money. To park in a large garage was $40,000 along with buying your house. Then there's gas prices and maintence, cars can be expensive. Paris had pollution and to clear the air, they enforced a partial driving ban. Drivers with even-numbered license plates were fined or told to leave their cars at home. It was only $31 in our currency, but it was 22-euros. Then the next day, being a Tuesday, the same ban to even-numnered license plates applied to the odd-numbered license plates. According to ""Reuters"" in source two, ""Almost 4,000 drivers were fined. This ban on the odd-numbered license plates didn't go through due to the smog clearing enough.
I know it sounds crazy, giving up your car, that's your freedom, your transportation to get from point A to point B. In Bogota, they have a car-free day. Only busses and taxis are allowed to be driving. It sounds completely out of the ordinary for us Americans to even think of not having our cars. Souce three says ""The goal is to promote alternative transportation and reduce smog."" Anyone who violates or doesn't coroperate is fined $25. As said in the article, the turn out for their car-free day was large. Maybe we should try it sometime.
Source four says that recent studdies suggest that Americans are buying less cars, they're getting fewer licenses as the years go by. Researchers wonder, ""has America passed peak driving?"" Why is that? The United States has been the car culture. As said in the article, ""it is the birthplace of Model T; the home of Detriot; the place where Wilson Pickett immortalized ""mustang sally"" which is also a cool song. How is it that we are buying less cars and not getting our licenses? My theroy, car crashes. Unrealted to pollution or money, but I think everyone has that fear in their head about car crashes killing them or taking the life of their teenager, so they stop driving. In reference to me, my mother won't allow me to drive untill I am 18 years old, the legal age to drive is 16. You can get your permit when you're 15 years old, only being allowed to drive with a driver over the age of 21. What's stopping everyone?
Driving is every where. How do you get to work? you drive. Grocerey store? The mall? you drive. There is more options though, you don't have to drive. You can brike, or walk or ride the bus. It saves you money. Pollution is a world wide thing, so is driving but with everyone working together and these ""car-free days"" we could end pollution. Giving up your car is the first step.

If we as human beings keep relying on cars as much as we do the world will be in bad shape
US as people have to treat the earth better because this is our home ,this is were we have to live and many generations after us have live .
The number of miles driven per person in america has definetly decreased over the years, the recession had a lot to do with that. With that being saidmany measures the decrease in driving preceded the downturn and appears to be persisting now that recovery is underway. The rates of car ownership in america has also decresed. Maybe that means something more fundamental is going on.

smog is like fog but it contains gases and if we keep relying on cars as much as we do the world wont be a safe place for us to live. Smog got so bad in france that they had to stop people from drivng.

How can you believe that the face on Mars was aliens? it is obviously just another landform of Mars'. Here, i'll go through some evidence that it is just a landform.
First of all, landforms like that are common in Cydonia. Also, keep in mind that appearances can be decieving. You can even see a similar landform right by the ""face"". And plus, there is no scientific evidence of life on another planet, let alone Mars. Simply stating that a haze could've hid the ""alien"" markings is hardly a compelling argument.

957D444A9CFE,"Have you ever been stuck in situation where you have to ask multiple people for advice? It must have been frustrating to ask others for their opinion on your problem. We as humans like to get things done our own way, but as it turns out, seeking multiple people for advice can have many benefits on the decision you ultimately make. Opinions from multiple people can end up being very influential on your decision's outcome. Seeking multiple opinions can help someone make a better decision because some people might have been in the same situation as you and can help you in your decision-making process, different opinions can give you a variety of advantages and disadvantages of your decision, and it can also help you get new ideas.
First, some people might have been in the same situation as you in the past and can help you make your final choice. Asking an experienced person for their opinion can play a major role in the outcome of your decision because they have been in your shoes at some point in their life. They can help you by telling you how they made their ultimate decision and what their outcome was. They could even tell you who they asked for an opinion in the past. Asking people who have been in the same conflict as you can help you by showing you how others made their decision and what their final outcome was.
Second, asking others for their opinion can help you list the advantages and disadvantages of your decision. Multiple people will end up telling you different point of views, which will help you see the pros and cons of your final choice. Narrowing down the pros and cons will help you pick the best decision. The advantages and disadvantages will be vital in your outcome. Seeing different point of views will help you make the best choice with best possible outcome.
Moreover, seeking multiple people for their opinion can help you get new ideas. Combining all of their opinions can help you create a ""hybrid"" idea. Narrowing down to the best opinions given by others will help you put together all of those great ideas and make one great decision. Your ""hybrid"" decision could have a very beneficial outcome if done correctly. Using opinions from others will help you make a great decision with a positive result.
In conclusion, asking multiple people for their opinion will help you make the best choice. Being given a variety of opinions may be overwhelming at first, but taking your time and thinking everything out correctly will be very important for your final result. Others could also be supportive of your decision because you actually took time out of your day and consulted with them about your situation. Opinions from multiple people could also give you experience, which you could use to help someone else stuck in the same position as you. Asking others for their opinion can help you make a decision that they had used successfully in the past. So as it turns out, seeking multiple people for opinions can help you make a better decision because some people might have been in the same situation as you and can help you in your decision making, different opinions can give you a variety of ideas which will help you make the best choice with the best possible outcome, and putting together ideas from other people can help you combine all the ideas to make one great decision.

AF1A2BDA829F,"Some schools offer distance schooling for students to be able to learn from home, and would they benefit from it. Should more schools do this where you live. Here are some advantages to schools that do this.
One advantage to doing distance learning is there is no traveling. Students donôt have to come to school everyday, and there parents donôt have to bring them either. It is just allot less running around for the students and parents. They dont have to get up so early just to go to school. You just get right out of bed and get your work done.
Schools are doing it now so kids can spend more time with their family. They have to go to school for 8 hours a day ,then come home to spend little time with the family. Kids need that family time rather then going to school all day. The parents can help them do the work if needed. Just getting more support then at school.
I feel like if kids did their work at home they would get more work one. They dont have here friends there to distract them. They can have more time if needed to finish work rather than at school it has to be turned in at a specific time. If they got more work done hat means they would have better grades. Just make them have a better work ethic.

F3D6CFB60918,"Not all students are meant to be in a classroom, some students work way better in a place that is familair to them, like their home. Students would benefit from being able to attend classes from home because it could help some to focus better and make them feel more comfortable in their surroundings. Offering distance learning as an option for studets to attend class while not being physically in school is a wonderful idea. By having the option of going to school from home, students are not trapped or required to participate in a classroom environment, yet they are still getting an education. Every student learns a bit differently, so to not have the option of distance learning available to every student is ignorant and exclsusive.
Many students suffer from learning dissabilites such as ADHD or dyslexia, which can make it very hard to focus in a classroom environment. Students with these dissabilities have a very hard time paying attention when distractions are amonst them. Classrooms can get very loud and crowded, which can easily cause distraction for anyone, much less students with certain learning dissabilities. At home, students with learning dissablilities would be more likely to succeed because it is a controlled environment; however, classrooms in schools are quite the opposite of controlled. This is why having the option of distance learning would strongly benefit many students who desprately need a quiet and familair space to study and learn in.
Another situation that could benefit from being able to attend class from home would be disabled students. Hallways in schools can get extremely crowded and overwhelming, so if a student is in a wheelchair it might be difficult to be in that sort of environment. It could be hard to thrive in a classroom environment when not all parts of your body can function. For example, if you are missing a limb or are paralyzed, it might be more comfortable to stay at home, where there is easy access to everything the student needs. In a similar situation, if a sudent has a severe mental diability that renders them immobile, they could get anxious in crowded spaces where it is even more difficult to get around. In these situations, distance learning would be necessary to at least offer as an option.
While I can understand the arguement that a classroom environment is a necessary part of life to develop social and critical thinking skills, it is critical to understand that not all students learn the same way. It is beneficial to have good social and thinking skills, which are taught immensly in school; however, it is not always going to be possible that every student can develop such skills in a loud and crowded envirnment. Just because physically being in a classroom is the most common way of deveoping relationships or getting an education, doesn't mean it will be the most ideal way of doing so for every student. It is very possible that students can learn social skills and get a great education right from the comfort of their home. A classroom is not necessary for such skills, it is just more well-known and socially accepted.
Overall, while a school environment is great for most students, it will not be beneficial to all students. The option of being able to attend classes from home is extremely important and would be very helpful to the rare cases of students who are unable to thrive in a school surrounding. Learning dissabilities or physical restrictments are not as common, but that doesn't mean that they don't exist. In such situations, being able to attend class online or through video confrencing would be the most beneficial way for students to get the most out of the education they're given and be the most comfortable while doing so.",,631,Distance learning,Independent,Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing.

The Key to Success
Today, students have been faced with the challenge of going to school, so that they can learn, so that they can go to college to hopefully become sucessful and get a job. The only problem is, majority of students are stuck in a loop which is because they aren't able to learn in a way which best suits them. Now, it is possible with new technology, by Dr. Huang with the University of Illinois. The use of technology holds value to reading students of emotional expressions which can help teachers to know whether what they are teaching and how, is enjoyable by their students.
""The program is designed to make a 3-D representation of the face and all of the 44 major muscles""(D'Alto, 3). Dr. Huang explains that Movement of one or more muscles is read as a certain emotion by a program called FACS, programed by psychologist, Dr. Paul Eckman. It reads emotions almost as a human would if you were to read a freind of yours face to face. The only part that sets the program aside from human reading, is that the program reads into the slightest movements you might not want to show.
I believe that this program can become revolutionary to education because this program can do what teachers cant do which is to tell how his/her students feel about learning certain things and in certain ways. If the program were to become a reality, teachers would be able to adjust their lessons for the better being of the students. In doing so, schools becomes more that just a place for students to come to learn, but they can be given an opportunity to do so while enjoying it too. If we get students to become excited for school, then they are more likely to grow up to do better things.
The use of technology holds value to reading students' emotional expressions. If we make the emotion reading techology a reality in schools, then the schools will most likely become enjoyable by students; Kids will become excited to learn and get an education, then our hope for a better and brighter generation will come forth.

Playing a sport is the best way to make our bodies stronger and healthy, it also helps us mentally when you are going through times going outside and playing helps you a lot. Playing a sport in school helps you have more energy and be ready to learn it likes opens your mind. Soccer for example is helps your body be stronger, Volleyball helps your hands be more stronger, Basketball helps you jump higher, and Football helps you run faster.
Writing or coloring the yearbook is a great idea too, because you are writing something that everyone is going to see so i know you gonna write neat and correctly. Coloring is good for our brains too it helps us be calm and out of stress. Spelling is one of the most important things and writing helps it improved it, coloring is something that not everyone knows how to do it, but by practicing we are gonna learn.
Serving in a student council helps you a lot because you learn something very important and thats learning how to communicate with other people and be nice.

74036EED2163,"I think that they should do voting by the popular vote because it should be what the people feel most comfortable choosing and they shouldnt have the electoral college. It can be argued that the electoral college method of selecting the president may turn off potential voters for a candidate who has no hope of carrying their state. Democrats in texas for example or republicans in california knowing their vote will have no effect they have less incentive to pay attention to the campaign that they would have if the president were picked by popular but of course no voters vote swings a national election and in spite of that about one half the elgible american population did vote in 2012 election. Voters in presidential elections are people who want to express a political preference rather than people who think that a single vote may decide an election.
A dispute over the outcome of an electoral college vote is possible it happened in 2000 but its less likely than a dispute over the popular vote the reason is that the winning candidates share of the electoral college invairably exceeds his share of the popular vote in 2012's election for example Obama received 61.7 percent of the electoral vote compared to 51.3 percent of the popular votes cast for him and Romney . . . . because almost all states award electoral votes on a winner take all basis even a very slight plurality in a state creates a landslide electoral vote victory in that state A tie in the nationwide electoral vote is possible because the total number of votes 538 is an even number but it is higly unlikely .....
I think those two paragraphs from this passage explains why i would like for people to just do popular voting because it makes the people comfortable and who they feel will make a america as best as it can be. That person who is being elected should feel proud and make america safe is what i stronlgy agree and i think others should to because it is a great choice. The elctoral college consist of the selection of the electors the meeting of the electors where they vote for president and vice president and the counting of the electoral votes by congress and i feel like thats a little too much when people can just vote instead of getting someone as a president who their not comfortable with or familiar with and dont know anything about the person so everyone just vote by the people for the people.

Students using their phone during class can be a big problem and i understand that.
i know that you are considering two polices at a attempt to stop the improper use of cell phones at school, but to even consider to not let people bring their phones to school is too extreme so please choose policy one.
What happens if we have a emergency?
What can we use to call the people we need to reach, we don't have our phones!
I personally walk home and my phone is my lifeline.
I may get a call from my mom saying that i have a dentist appointment, but i would have phone so i will cost my mom money.
I could get hurt while I'm walking no one is usually around me.
What happens if we need something for school.
We cant remember everything, we are human.
Our school get boat loads of important forms that have consequences attached if they are late.
If we forget to bring them in we can call our parent via cell phone and get them in.
Plus, it cost money to use the school phone, although it's not much money we still don't carry that around.
phones enable us to do so much we could never do with out them.
Although, our phones are get more entertaining and more advanced, they still help everyday.
The first policy states that we can use our phones during passing breaks and lunch so that is when we can use it for entertainment.

2FB17659DA36,"Dear TEACHER_NAME,
I think it would be a great idea to have the students be able to bring their cell phones to school. After school they can use them for various reasons. If the student is staying for practice or tutorial, they can call their parents or guardian to pick them up. If they miss the bus or need to clarify how to get home they can use their cell phone to contact their parents. The parent can also call the student if they need to talk to them about something. Students can use their phone to do research as well.
Another reason they should be aloud to use cell phones is because cell phones can be used after school too. Many students walk to McDonald's, Trade-winds, or other stores or restaurants in that area. The students need cell phones to be able to contact whoever is picking them up. During break students can also use cell phones for entertainment.
Students should only use cell phones in the designated time. I think you need to warn them that if they take advantage of having cell phones at school, they will be banned from school immediately. Any student who takes advantage of the new policy will be put into punishment and a number of continuous problems will shut the new policy down.
During class, students should not be able to use their cell phones, because they can start cheating, texting, or being off task. To stop this, I suggest that at the beginning of class teachers should pick up all cell phones. If a student is caught with a cell phone after they have been taken up, they should have the phone taken and held for a certain amount of days and the student should be put under punishment.

D9900BD19D55,"I bet your wondering what a Electoral college is in your head ,
well an Electoral college is not somewhere you go to like a regular college but its a process ,
they established it in constitution as a compromise.
Its where they vote for presidents and vice president including the electoral votes by congress ,
Electoral college consists 538 electors and the majority of 270 electoral votes to elect the president .
To begin with, every candidate is running for President for your state ,and each of them has their own electors .
After every four years presidential election is held on tuesday after the first monday ,
the fun part is that most states gets a ""winner-take-all"" system that awards all the electors to the winning presidential candidate ,
also your governer prepares a ""Certificate of Ascertainment""
listing all the wonderful candidates who ran for President in your state along with the names of their respective electors .
This year most voters are expecting another close election in the population vote which winners could again lose the presidency.
Under electoral college system some voters don't vote for presidents but vote for a state of electors , if you lived in texas for an example and wanted to vote for someone named John kerry you would vote for a slate of 34 Democratic electors pledged to Kerry .
For the winner-take-all method of the award electoral votes induces the candidates just like in 2012 election .Obama won the vote and got 29 electoral votes ,a large state gets more attention from presidential candidates in the campaign
Nixton in 1968 and Clinton in 1992 both had a 43 pecent plurality of popular votes .

2545BE194727,"TeleLearning
Most students wish to distance themselves from school, uncomfortable chairs, boring lectures, repetitive schedule, and a bell that tells you when to go from class to class and when to eat. Now what if there was an option to bring your class to the comfort of your own home so you can set the schedule for when you are comfortable to learn. Fortunately in today's world, if there is a will there is a way. Many schools offer distance learning so students can learn online or using a video conference. Students now have an opportunity to benefit from the online classes provided to them, saving them time, energy, and not stressing them out. This new way of learning brings many benefits to all the students using it.
Imagine you are a student that has moved away during your first and second year of high school to go study elsewhere because of your parent's occupation. You have now moved back and are just about to start junior year and then you notice that some of the classes that you need to take to pass high school, you never took in the school that you previously moved to as it was not needed there. You now have to repeat those classes which are all mostly filled with freshmen, when you are just a junior yourself. You could have taken that new elective that you actually enjoy learning about, but now you have to take a class designed for eighth graders as a eleventh grader. That was the exact situation that I was in, moved back to a new area, behind on the requirements needed to pass. I believed I was all out of luck and had to repeat what I was taught in the seventh grade because I did not take it in high school. When all my hopes were low, my counselor told me about online classes, I no longer needed to worry about repeating a class as I could take it online over the summer or during the year, saving me time, and opening up a block for me to take any class that I actually enjoy learning about. My situation was just one of the many examples of the ways online classes could benefit a student. A student may not even have to miss two years like me, they could have missed a week as they were on vacation, but with online classes they could easily catch up to the rest of their peers.
The internet provides a plethora of potential for schools to connect to their students, but most schools are failing to take advantage of such an advanced and new way to learn. Learning on the internet has already advanced our schools to the 21st century, but using the internet to learn and assist us in class is very different from taking an entire class online. Online classes have worked wonders for the schools already using them, granting students extra credit, studying over the summer, saving time, keeping students in the comfort of their own home, and improving their grade from the grades of the students taking traditional classes. Some students like to push themselves to collect extra credits before graduation, this may be an issue as in schools there are a limited number of classes they can take, but with online classes, extra credit is made an option. We all know that when students go on summer break, they mostly forget a large chunk of what they have taken in during the school year, if they were to take some online classes over the summer, this can help them refresh and not to forget all they have been taught during the school year, making them more prepared for the upcoming year. Online classes can also cut down on transportation, freeing up traffic, pollution, and time taken to commute. Most students do not have an issue with their commute to school, but for those living in rural areas, their commute may take up to 45 minutes. If students were to take online classes, it will save the time and money of transportation to and from school. They could also choose what time they would like to start and finish, giving them that flexibility over their own time. Students also dislike the lack of freedom they have in school, a bell telling them when it is time to go from class to class, when to eat, and when to leave. Students should be given freedom over their time which is exactly what they get on online courses. If students are placed at home where they are comfortable, paying attention to the lesson will become easier as they will not be distracted by the discomfort they are placed in at school. Research lead by psychologists at MIT have shown that those students taking online classes do better than their counterparts in traditional classes.
Although online classes are proven to be beneficial to those taking it, there are some people who are against classes being taken online. They claim that it is harder for the student to stay focused, easier to cheat, may be costly, and not taken seriously. If students are having a hard time staying focused at home, where they could be in a room all by themselves, how do you think those students will behave when in class with a some of their friends. Students in class with fellow peers and friends are more likely to be distracted by those who are alone at home. Cheating is a issue that attacks all schools everywhere, but with online classes, locked mode on tests and open note exams are an option. Open note exams are more realistic to what students will encounter in real life as in real life you will always have access to a device which you can search the internet with. Online classes are not cheap, mine could have cost me up to 600 dollars, but luckily there are plenty of benefits in place to help those that may not be able to pay full price. If students were not to take the course seriously, they would suffer the consequences such as failing exams or not passing the course.
As you can see, students have one of the best resources present to them, and if more schools and more students were to use these online classes provided to them, we would see an increase in grades, and participation in school resulting in a better overall society for us.

Someone whos smart and athletic?
Well let me tell you something.
You're not going to be that person by sitting on your butt watching 150 hours of the Office after school.
I think that every kid should have to participate in an extracurricular activity, whether its sports or a club.
Kids need to get out and do something.
If kids do and extracurricular activity its gets them away from their screens, helps with face to face interactions, and they need the extra physical activity because they dont get it in school.
Therefore I think that all kids should participate in a extracurricular activity.
First, kids are always on a screen of some sort.
When they are at school they are on screens. When they get home they are on their phone or on the TV.
After school activities are at least an hour or longer.
So if they get out of school at 3:35, with practice and the car ride they wont get home till around 4:50.
In addition, they might take a shower and they have to have dinner, so that takes a lot of screen time away.
With them doing an activity after school, it will get them away form their technology and they will be doing something productive.
Secondly, with kids being on their phones all the time, they dont get a lot of face to face interactions.
Doing an activity after school would help with getting that practice in.
It would force them to interact with other people and to make new friends.
Once kids get older they will not know how to look someone in they eye while talking, because they dont have to do that while testing someone.
Finally, its the only time kids can get real physical activity.
In gym they don't get a lot of exercise.
Kids don't like having to participate in activities that dont enjoy, especially with people they don't know.
If they don't want to do something they wont put in any effort.
At least when they are on a team they make bonds and friendships so that they enjoy what they are doing and put in the effort.
In conclusion, I agree that the principle should make kids participate in at least one extracurricular activity.
So that while they are doing their extracurricular they are wasting their screen time.
It helps they practice the face to face interaction with people.

I was thinking, what if we had to install sincers on to or into the road so there for the car will not go off road and it will know what lane it has to stay on or take. then also guss what ? we would have to also maybe install sincers to the speed limit sign to where it will notificate the car how fast it should be going on the road or how fast it should be turnning on a certain road.

I don't like the idea of when joining sports you need a average of a B grade ..... Most students in school have a C average, that means that us students would NOT be able to compete in the athletics clubs of the school ..... I mainly disagree because that means hardly anybody would be joining in football, volleyball, flag football, basketball, track and field.... and without anybody participating there would be no games against other school and NO school spirit... Mostly everyone in this school wants to do a sport for extra curricular for school. Without kids doing sports what's the whole point on having sports teams if they cant play in it. I believe that the average grade for playing sports should be a C....
I'm getting a C .... and if im getting a C i cant play my favorite sport volleyball, I LOVE VOLLEYBALL and its going to suck if i cant even join or participate in playing the sport .. and if you take this opportunity from us not playing sports unless we have a B average, NOBODY will be participating because we did not meet the standards of playing sports ....
I believe that if you changed the average grade for playing sports you will see changes in grades because the students in our school
WANTS to play sports for school.... I actually took a survey on how much people would try their best on their grades to play sports in school , and 95% of the students of our school said they would try their best to get a C average for sports.... & I BELIEVE in my fellow students and i know they would not let me down if it helps them get to something they really want to do in school ....
All im asking is a little support in trying to switch from getting a B average to getting a C average to be able to play sports.... and i promise you the school report cards will not be disappointing ...... because i know if i wanted to play volleyball really badly id do anything in my power of doing good on my grades... and that's what i will be doing for this quarter shooting for my goal in playing a sport by getting a C average grade if you change it ....

A handful of students in Mrs. Generic_Name's 7th grade homeroom groaned and complained from hearing the announcement made over the intercom.
One reason I believe that students should be able to decide if they want to do extracurricular activities is because, students might already be doing another sport or club outside of school. For example, he or she could be on a travel basketball team or cooking club and have practice everyday after school, so they do not have enough time to participate in any extracurricular activities that the school is forcing them to do. ""I already play on a travel basketball team and have practice everyday for 2 hours, i'm way too busy for this!"" Generic_Name shouted grumpily.
Another very important reason students should not be forced to do an extracurricular activity is because, he or she might be involved with a religion that requires them to go to church frequently. For instance, one student might have bible study on Wednesday nights. Another student might have to go to church every Sunday and won't have time to join a club. ""I have to go to church a lot because of my religion,"" said Generic_Name adding on to Generic_Name's comment.
The next reason is, some students might not have have enough money to buy or rent the sports gear they need. He or she might not be able to afford the proper items you need for a club or sport. They might be embarrassed because they cannot afford what the rest of the students can. The other students might make fun of them for not having what they have. Generic_Name walked up quietly to the teacher's desk to tell Mrs. Generic_Name something. ""I don't think I can afford to buy what the other students can buy."" Whispered Generic_Name. ""Do you need to go to the counselors office?"" Mrs. Generic_Name asked. ""Sure"" Said Generic_Name. Mrs. Generic_Name quickly wrote him a pass and sent Generic_Name on his way.
Finally, another reason I disagree with this decision is because some students might be trying to focus on their grades or keep them up. Whether it's so they can get good final results on he or she's report card, or wanting to impress and make their parents happy, getting good grades is a great thing to focus on. ""Mrs. Generic_Name, I want to be able to focus on my grades so they can be high."" Generic_Name said in his unusual, nerdy voice. ""To be honest, i'm just not interested in doing any activities."" Generic_Name complained. ""I might as well send all of you down to the counselors office at this point!"" Mrs. Generic_Name said as she was laughing. She quickly scribbled all 4 kids a pass just as she did for Generic_Name.
""Good Morning students, welcome back to another day of school."" Principal Generic_Name exclaimed into the mic. ""Yesterday as you know, I told all of you that you had to do at least on extracurricular activity, but since we got so many complaints about it, I have decided to give you a choice. You can choose whether or no you want to do an extracurricular activity."" Principal Generic_Name said. All of the students who complained jumped out of their seats and shouted with joy. ""Phew!"" They all sighed. ""So much stress is lifted off of our shoulders!"" The kids said excitedly.

There has been a lot of kids, teens and adults been killed using their phones. Either texting or talking on the phone. That message or call can wait until you get where you are going. Teens and adults should turn off their phones before they start the car. This could save your life and the life of others.
The law enforcement should also set good examples by not letting others see them talking and texting while driving. Parents also should set the example of not texting and driving. Some states have passed laws where it is illegal to have a phone in your hand while driving. I believe that all states should pass this law. Or have cars that will not start if it indicates a phone on or in use when trying to crank it up.

599620A50158,"Dear Principle,
I believe Policy 2 would be a better decision. I think it would be a better decision because then students would not be distracted my phone calls and text messages. Choosing Policy 2 may also increase a students ability in school. They may test higher and have better grades. Also, students can get a better job due to their grades.
Students may be distracted by phone calls and text messages because they may not turn off their phone or they bring it to school in the first place. The students may even have their phone on ring which may distract their fellow class mates or even the teacher.
Students also may be distracted from their phones when it comes time for learning. If we take phones out completely the students may get better grades and test higher. They can even get into a better college than what they would have if they were on their phones all the time. That leads to a good job to support their lives and, if they have a family, their families lives.
They may not be aware of this, partly because they may be on their phones, but they can get better jobs if they stay off their phones and on the books. They would not only get better jobs but they even can be paid more than what they would have if they wouldn't have gotten better grades.
The consequences should be very big for being on a cell phone or let alone bringing a cell phone to school. Students should at least have a detention or even an in school suspension. Students need to know their boundaries and what happens when they cross them. Discipline is a great way to turn students off their cell phones.
Cell phones are huge distractions in school. They lead to high school drop outs because of their grades and, not to mention, they lead to low income. If we let students use cell phones more in school they may get the thought they can do whatever they want. We need to put a stop to this now so our future generations will be able to support their families.

44DEA88FDD83,"Dear Floridas state senator, I am righting this letter to tell you about why I think that we should ude the popular vote for the president of the United State. I have three main resons i would like to touch up on. It will give the poeple of the United States the chance to say who they want in the congree and say who we wnt to be our presedent. The Electoral College is not a democratic way of handleing it. But on the down side it can make things very unorganized, having us worry about every little person we have to put into congress.
In the United States we are a eaqual and fair contry, but with the Electoral College it does not us, the people of our fine nation the one to elect our presadent. It does not give us the freedom of making our own choices n who want to run our contry. But if we use the popular vote for the presadent of the united states it lets us, the people choose. It lets us the poeple the right to use our own opion and our own thought on who should run this country. Every person in this cutry has a voivce they do and they should be able to speak with thier voice.
If we use the Electoral Colledege it is not democratic. It does not let us the people choose. The Electoral Colledge baseecely sees that the citizens of our contrys opions do not matter. They are saying that the Electoral Colledges votes matter the most those are the only once we are worrying about. But thats not true our opion does matter, we are what make up this amazing cuntry not just the Electoral Colledge.
But you see there is up side to using the Electoral Colledge. It can keep us organized and what i mean by that is it will help the pople know who exactly all comes with the vote of the presedent. It also makes it alot esier to just vote for one group instead of voting for all 34 people. It will keep the people from accsadentaly voting for the wrong group. It will help the poeple make there desion on what they think best and not hat they have been told is the best choice.
The popoular vote for presadent is the best way to go. It gives the pople a voice and the Ellectoral Colledge isnt democratic. But the Electoral Colledge keep us, the people organized and helps us make the right decition.

46772923BE1C,"""Ugh, I don't want to join any sports or clubs!"" Generic_Name complained. ""You know, this could be good,"" Generic_Name said. ""I just don't see how participating in a extracurricular activity should be required,"" Generic_Name replied. ""Those sports or clubs will definitely be way more fun if you have a good attitude!"" Generic_Name exclaimed. ""Ugh, I hate how you're always right,"" Generic_Name laughed. ""I'm always right, so let's go grab a sheet off the desk!"" Generic_Name exclaimed. Generic_Name and Generic_Name both chose to try out for the volleyball team. ""Generic_Name, I have a feeling like trying out for volleyball will turn out really great for us in the future,"" Generic_Name said finally. ""Generic_Name,"" Generic_Name said beaming, ""I think so too."" Generic_Name and Generic_Name would've never believed what would be waiting for them ahead in life. Many people join clubs or teams because they either want to discover something new they can enjoy, or because they love that club and the benefits. Students should participate in at least one extracurricular activity because they could find a new hobby, they would become more involved with what's happening at their school, and it can be very beneficial for their future.
Students should be involved in at least one extracurricular activity because they could find a new hobby. Having at least one hobby you enjoy proves it can make you happier and active. For example, Generic_Name discovered that joining the Robotics Club at his school is something that makes his day thriving. If he never found out about the Robotics Team, Generic_Name would've just been at home, spending his time playing video games. Another example is when I joined a coding class at the library that I go to on Thursdays. I enjoy it, so joining clubs and sports at school can make school a place where you look forward to going to. To conclude, participating in extracurricular activities can result in students finding a new hobby which they can enjoy greatly at school.
Students should participate at a minimum of one extracurricular activity because they would become more involved with their school. Being involved with what's occurring at the school is important because someone should know more about what's going on there. For instance, Generic_Name found out there is a dance coming soon that people need to plan, so she decided to be on the committee. Another example is Generic_Name, a student who chose to be on the Yearbook Committee, is now more interested on what's happening in the school because she has to take photos to enter into the yearbook. To summarize, students should participate in at least one school extracurricular activity because they would most likely become more informed and interested about what's happening at the school.
Students should participate in at least one extracurricular activity because joining them can have many benefits for their future. If a student joined the school basketball team and liked it, they could keep playing basketball until college and by that time they're really good. Before you know it, offers from a lot of colleges would be basically showing up at their doorstep, wanting that student to play for them. For example, many athletes started from playing on his or her school team and worked their way up to play for the most official team. Another example is when Generic_Name was one of the best players on her school soccer team, so now she uses her skill set to try out for one of the most skilled soccer team later on in life. In conclusion, students joining extracurricular activities that the school offers can help them be successful later in life.
Now imagine Generic_Name and Generic_Name are in their senior year of high school. ""Generic_Name, we both got so many volleyball team offers from a lot of colleges!"" Generic_Name yelled excitingly. ""I know, and I really want us both to play on the same volleyball team,"" Generic_Name replied. ""I can't believe we are the best volleyball players in the school, and this all started in middle school,"" Generic_Name finally said. ""I know, you were so mad that we had to pick and extracurricular activity."" Generic_Name said, laughing. ""I know,"" Generic_Name said smiling,""but now, lets choose the best college to attend!"" Imagine if Generic_Name was still mad that everyone had to participate in an extracurricular activity. The two best friends would not be sitting down together viewing then choosing their college volleyball team offers. Now, they are the best volleyball players at their school. Students should engage in at least one extracurricular activity because they could find a new hobby, they would be more involved about what's happening at their school, and it can have many benefits for their future.

F5B2DED407D1,"Summer, A wonderful season to spend time with family and friends. when students think about summer we want to relax, go to the mall, and do other events but once we realizes that we have a summer project, most of the time it's notices last minute so knowing student it won't get done. My mother once said "" If you want something done then get it done and show them you're capable"". Since then this saying stuck in my head so it should be student-designed because it can show the skills that they have, it tells the teacher that they understand the project, and students can fun with the project in the short time they have to do it.
Firstly, Every student has their different ways of do things and skills are one of them because by students designing the project it gives students the try to proof them self. All students are talented in their own way. Some students show their skills of they what they know how to do and how they expess it but one thing about skills students enjoy doing them and they can do what they most time.
Secondly, By students designing the project; it tell the teacher that they understand because it's important for the students to key points about project and it shows the teacher that they didn't care about it or they just didn't understand so when school start again the teacher know their strong and weakness so as the teacher they can help the students and guide on the right path.
Finally, In conclusion by students designing they can enjoy doing their project and happy to finish it the frist week they get it and continue enjoying their summer vacation while they still can and a good way for student to expess them self in their work to show the teacher a little bit their up coming student for the next year.",,315,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

9DD27942044E,"All the fun and games you've had is coming to an end like summer is, so finish it the great summer you've had and turn it into an amazing project for school! No more projects from teachers, summer projects should be student designed, more benefited towards the students learning abilities and their summer minds. Many students enjoy their long break over the summer and when the break is almost over they have to do a project for their teachers. Summer projects should be student designed as it would feel more creative coming from a student's perspective, they can keep their minds fresh by thinking about a project to do while having fun, and students can use what they've learned or seen over their vacations to design a good project.
Projects designed by students would feel more creative from their perspective. Many students have a surprisingly active mind at their age, as some can see more than just a picture. Students point of views of things are kind of simple but their creativeness is what makes their minds great. Designing a project from their perspective can be outstanding and turn out as a great project. Teachers would get a variety of different projects this way and could grade each one differently, instead of grading their own designed project repeatedly. This would also help the the teachers because it would be easier and more helpful the their students.
A project which a student designs can keep their mind fresh in the summer while they think about it and have fun. Relaxation in the summer keep everyone's stress levels down and they ease up more. Having a relaxed mind and thinking about a project to design in the summer will be very easy. Students can make a project on what they're doing in the summer like going on vacation with family, working a job to save up money,etc. Keeping a fresh mind is always important because it benefits you going into the year and keeping good grades to get you someplace good. A fresh and relaxed mind is always a good place to start work, as, more ideas and topics fly through your head.
Students can use what they've learned or seen over their vacation to design good projects. Students on vacation will probably go on some tour guides on their vacation to learn more about the area,its history, and see extraordinary things. A great project is what you already know and have the facts straight about the topic, and if students use what they had seen on their vacation and use that new knowledge about where they went, how it was like, what were the people like,etc, teachers would appreciate that they saw this project and feel accustomed to learn more about it. Students would love to hear that their project did very good and more people want to know more about it. Having a project designed by students that do great and show that these projects are more helpful to students than they are to teachers show the true benefit of them and how successful students can be.
In conclusion, summer projects should be student designed as it would feel more creative coming from a student's perspective, they can keep their minds fresh by thinking about a project to do while having fun, and students can use what they've learned or seen over their vacations to design a good project. Although if students designed their own projects, there's always the ones that are lazy and don't do school work and that the project will just be simple, plain, and of no benefit towards them. So, in my opinion, students should be able to make their own projects because, they would be more helpful to themselves than the teachers who are already learning more skills over the summer.

656C7C849144,"When electing the president of the United States, you must vote in favor of the president you want. However, instead of coming down to popular vote, the system uses the Electrolar College to decide. The Electroral Vote works in that the people of a certain states votes for their candidate and the majority of people who vote for a certain president give their votes to a slate of voters. What this means is that the popular vote within a state wins the electoral votes of the electors who then vote for the president. Many people dislike this system including myself. I disaprove of this system because it limits representation, permits the disintrest of voters, and reduces a candidates intrest in a state.
One major problem with the Electoral College voting system is that it limits representation of the people. The Electoral COllege votes work so that the population of a state directly effects the amount of votes that states recieves. For example, Wyoming only has about 500,000 voters so it only recieves one electoral college vote. Because there is only one vote for wyoming, the 500,000 voters do not have acurate representation in a vote that has a total of 270 electoral votes. There have also been times in which a president has won the piopular vote but lost the Electoral College vote. This was seen in the 2000 vote of Bush versus Gore when Gore won the popular vote and Bush won the electoral vote.
One might claim that because the amount of electoral votes for a state is based of the population, it is fair. However, I believe that the popular vote is more fair because it expresses the opinion of the majority. In some states, there is a large majority of people running for a single party. This can be observed primarily in Texas where an overwhelming majority of voters are Republican. Therefore, the Republican president wins Texas almost every election period. This can be frustrating for Democrats who live in Texas because they know that their vote does not matter causing them to lose interest in voting in the first place. This is not fair for those people nor is it particularly good to express as an American trait.
As stated before, the larger the population of a states, the more Electoral College votes that state gets. This leads to a small group of ""big states"" that have such a large amount of votes, they are the target for candidates to try to persuade to vote for them. On the opposite side of the spectrum, most of the other 50 states have a smaller amount of votes and are less of an objective for candidates to acquire. In many states throughout an election preiod (the period in which candidates move to diferent states giving speeches) the candidates never make an appearance in their state at all. This is observed in the 2000 election in which seventeen states did not have the candidate make an appearance at all. This also can lower interest in voting for the president.
The Electoral college voting system is not fair in the way the present system works. The system does not show proper representation of the people, does not promote interest in voting, and causes a candidate to ignore the states in which do not have a large amount of electoral votes. Moving to popular vote will fix all of these problems and will improve the way we vote for our president.

2B98EC6BE001,"Have you ever participated in an extracurricular activity? If so, you know that they are intellectually stimulating, and can be beneficial to the lives of students. I believe that every student should participate in an extracurricular activity. All students should participate in at least one extracurricular activity because they teach life skills, help shy students get involved, and keep students occupied.
Extracurricular activity participants learn life skills. One life skill is time management. Time management is a difficult skill to learn at any age. If students participate in an extracurricular activity, they will have to learn to balance their time so they can complete homework and study, along with another activity. Secondly, these types of activities can teach students how to work as a team. At some point in the future, they will have to collaborate with co-workers in their job. Lastly, even though students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity, they are able to decide which club they want to join. This teaches decision making and can help these students in the future. Extracurricular activities teach life skills needed for the future.
Participating in extracurricular activities is beneficial to students who are shy because it gets them more involved. My sister, Generic_Name, started sixth grade this year. She was a very shy fifth grader, so my parents were worried that making friends was not going to be easy in middle school. My parents made her choose one club. She decided that yearbook club would be the best club for her to participate in. On her first day, Generic_Name was very nervous because she did not know what types of activities they did in yearbook club, or anyone who signed up. After school that day, I asked her if she enjoyed yearbook club. She told me that during lunch, they went around the school taking pictures of students for the yearbook. She also told me she met three girls who were also in science club. They wanted her to join them for the next science club meeting, and she was excited about attending. The next week when I was in the hallway, I saw her taking pictures for the yearbook with her friends. She was laughing and talking with them. Generic_Name was no longer a shy fifth grader. She had found friends, a hobby, and had learned to be open to trying new activities.
Participating in extracurricular activities helps to keep kids occupied. First, it keeps them out of trouble. If they homework and a club, they have to manage their time wisely, so they don't have time to get in trouble. Next, if their parents work, it gives them a place to be instead of sitting at home alone. With two parents that work until five, it is nice to go to soccer practice instead of being home alone. Finally, it keeps kids off devices. In a world like today, devices are everywhere. Students use laptops at school, and then they go home and play games online. Going to an activity after school reduces the time that students are on their devices at home. Participating in a club or extracurricular activity helps to keep students occupied.
I believe that all students should participate in at least one extracurricular activity. Extracurricular activities teach life skills, help shy kids get more involved, and keep students occupied. If you know a student who is not involved with any extracurricular activities, encourage them to find one that they are interested in and give them your reasoning. I guarantee they won't be disappointed after their first meeting.",,590,Mandatory extracurricular activities,Independent,"Your principal has decided that all students must participate in at least one extracurricular activity.

7B1B9534D51A,"Phone & Driving
It has always been a big concern on being on your phone, while driving. There are many bad outcomes from being on your phone while driving. You could possibly swerve off the road, crash into someone, or zoning out and not knowing what is going to happen next. Many people repeatedly still be on their phones while driving, while knowing what the outcome could lead to, and still not caring. Phones are a huge distraction while driving and no one seems to care what happens after.
Being on your phone while driving is not something that should be normalized. It can lead to one major problem, which is having an accident. When it comes to car crashes, and the cause of the crash is someone being distracted, is never a good look on the driver. Many people can lose their life, they can come out alive from the accident, but can still be traumatized to the point where they do not want, to ever get in a car again. 26% of most accidents are from texting while driving.
Another cause of being on the phone while driving, is a possibility of swerving off the road. No one ever wants to experience being a car alone, and next thing you know your trying to get back control of your car, from not being focused on the road. The outcome can be bad to the point where, you do not know where you are, may have lost your phone, and have no way of getting out because you are stuck. There have been nearly 390,00 accidents, caused from swerving while being on your phone. This could all be avoided if you just stay of your phone.
Finally, you could zone out, while on the road. When you are driving, your focus is the road. Zoning out while driving, and your phone can be a pretty ugly situation. You could possibly be intoxicated, and not knowing why, you on your phone and get carried away and zone out for a quick second, and next thing you know. You are in an accident. There are many ways to get an accident, but the common reason of accidents happening, is drivers being on their phone.
To sum up this unreasonable situation, do not be on your phone while driving. The outcomes can be you zoning out, which leads to an accident, swerving off the road, while being on the phone, and mainly just crashing into someone, while being on your phone.

70CDE7745C45,"Drivers should not be able to use cell phones in any capacity while operating a vehicle. Studies show that driving while talking on a cellphone is extremely dangerous and puts drivers at a four times greater risk of a crash. When our friends have been drinking we take the car keys away, it is time to take the cellphones away. A study from the Harvard Center of Risk Analysis estimates that cell phone use while driving contributes to 6 percent of crashes, which equates to 636,000 crashes, 330,000 injuries, 12,000 serious injuries and 2,600 deaths each year.
Hands free set is safety because people can drive using two hands. However, hands-free devices don't eliminate the risk of causing an accident and even may it worsen suggesting that the behavior is safe. Researches show that using headset can be as dangerous as holding a phone because the conversations distracts drivers from focusing on the road. Scientists had proven that people talking over the phone image the person who they are talking to and that doesn't interfere with driving. The problem is when a car swerves unexpectedly or pedestrian step into traffic, and the mind lacks the processing power to react in time, So the problem isn't in holding the wheel and cell phone at the same time in what may cause an accident because of lack man oeuvre, It's because of conservation and lack of reaction at the particular- time.
Opponents say that cell phones are good because they give an opportunity to make a call-in case of emergency. However, it is illusion of safety because when people need it most either they can't find it or reach it because it either on the floor or stuck in a seat. People shouldn't fully depend on cell phones because they are not reliable, and the trusty solution for the difficult situation is OnStar. OnStar is a service that in case of accident or an emergency will contact you. If you are not able to answer they will contact police department, hospital, and fire service giving them your exact GPS location. Therefore, nowadays cell phones are unnecessary devices because they are unreliable in emergency situations while On Star is always prepare to help you in an accidents.
Business issues can be stressful and dangerous while driving because it can cause emotional reactions that can lead to tragedy. Although some people support using cell phones while driving, there are evidences that they are dangerous and people should avoid talking while driving. Because of the conversation they might get upset and this can lower their driving ability that can lead to lose control over the car. So if people don't make a decision to put away their cell phones their routine can harm innocent people.
Concluding, If people don't give up cell-phones the number of fatalities on the roads will still increase. It is people responsibility to not endanger their own and other people life.

E4BCA8263B5D,"Each day car insurance is rising, due to the amount of accidents per year, but people don't notice that reason for that is because of cell phone distractions. There's more and more teenagers on the road now, accident rates have been rising ever since. Teens from this generation are so addicted to their cell phone it's a huge distraction behind the wheel. People should not use cell phones while driving because you're risking someone and your own life, it's illegal, texting and driving delays a driver's reaction time.
Text messaging requires the driver's eyes off the road, studies show that teenagers are by far the biggest culprit of text messaging while driving. Making it dangerous for them and other drivers, since teens have the least amount of experience behind the wheel. In other cases many drivers keep their eye of the road to dial a number, this can have disastrous results for others and pedestrians. People don't realize that accidents can happen in a split second, in those few moments that your eyes are on a cell phone you moved far enough to not see a motorcycle, a pedestrian, or a vehicle braking suddenly in front of you. Texting and driving is a dangerous habit we should avoid it to prevent injuries and death.
Driving and using a cell phone has become a big theme here in the United States, texting and driving is banned for all drivers in 47 states. Talking on a hand held cell phone while driving is banned is 16 states and the district of columbia. Yet these bans did not stop people from using their cell phones. Fines and license suspension have been put in place. A fine for a first offense is
$25, $50 for a second offense, $75 for a third offense. These fines can be as low as $20 and as high as $10,000 depending of the state. Jail time only for a misdemeanor charge, loss of license in some cases involving injuries. State laws should be more strict on these things, because drivers don't take these punishments serious. Punishments need to increase so that drivers can take it serious and will stop using cell phones.
According to statistics using a cell phone while driving delays driver's reaction time, using a cell phone reduces their visual scanning of the road ahead, and have a higher chance weaving through their lane and are slower to respond to hazards. A study found that hand-held phone can delay by 46%, sending a text slows it down by 37%. By comparison using cannabis slows it down by 21%, and drinking to the legal amount by 13%. An average time to reply to a text message is 4.6 seconds and while going 45-55 miles per hour that's enough to cover a soccer and football field. Studies show that a person of the age of 20 reaction time slows down while being on the phone is as equal as a 70 year old man.
The problem of using cell phones while driving can be eliminated. It might take time and effort, but we can't slip this problem through our hands, because it's dangerous.

2C8BA60F1666,"Want to take advantage of your life? Try new things, overcome things you thought you'd never pass, or maybe you felt incapable of doing a physical sport? I feel like participating in at least 1 extracurricular activity should be needed to learn more about yourself and others. Here's why:
You could learn new things. Maybe you had stage fright or you thought you might be lacking some acting skills, but you try out anyways. You join drama and meet many new people, you tell them about your stage fright and they tell you ways on how they deal with it. You now feel good and you find Drama way more easier. You then audition for the main character, which many, many people tried out for. A week goes by and the teacher is ready to announce who is the main character. You made it! People might usually think that they'll be bad at doing something they're are new too, but you never know, if you never try. Who knows maybe one day in the future someone may ask you to act for their movie, and since you have that knowledge from before, you could be a new celebrity. For example one time I tried out for soccer, thinking I would be terrible at it and I would never be drafted, but soon after, I got in. And I was actually one of the best players in my team.
My second reason is that you could meet many new people. Who knows really. Maybe if you participate in an art club, you could meet your future best friend, but if you never try it out, you'll never know. You could meet people that are an expert in a certain topic, for example you met someone who is super good at building, maybe in the future if you're not sure on how to build something and need help, you could call them and they could help you for free, instead of paying a carpenter. If more and more people are needed to participate in extracurricular activities, there would be less introverted people, who feel isolated from the community.
I really do agree with the principle on this new rule. This could really show a positive impact to kids, mentally and physically. There are many people who are too lazy to do any extracurricular activities, but with this new rule, it could really make a difference with themselves physically. Maybe if they joined and played football or soccer, it could really help him be more physically active. There are some people who feel depressed and lonely. They feel like no one cares about them and that they're not needed in anyones life. Maybe if they participate in something they could meet new people and they could have new friends. Their friends would care about them and make them feel more happy instead of lonely. People could even turn into the complete opposite and be a lot more social than they where before. More people will have a positive mindset on things and more people could be more energetic, which could lead to healthier people, better grades, more participation, a healthy community, and a lot more.
The real reason on why I feel like this is a good rule though, is because you just need to take advantage of your life. Try new things everyday. If things don't workout or if you're not too good at something, oh well. At least you know now and at least you tried it out. The more you know now, the more you'll be able to do things for yourself in the future, and really, you will thank yourself. You could have a really bright future if you know how to do a variety of things. This is why I feel like the principle came up with an excellent idea and that it should definitely be applied to the school.

The principal at Generic_School has decided that all students must participate in a activity, but not everyone agrees with his decision. I disagree that all students must participate in a extracurricular activity because not all students have the time to be in a extracurricular activity, and students have less time in their regular classes.
To being with, I disagree that all students must participate in a activity because not all students have the time to be in a activity. A extracurricular activity is useless for some of the students. According to teachers students get stress having to deal with an activity at school. Students worry about the activities and could get distracted. More projects or work having to deal with. Also most students are not very interested in sports, working on the yearbook, or serving on the student council. Students could also stress parents with projects and more work from the activities that they have to deal with. For example, my friend Generic_Name gets stressed with the work he already has in class and a extracurricular activity would not be very helpful for him.
Furthermore, students would have less time in their regular helpful classes. Having less time in their regular classes makes teachers also stress. Teachers have less time in class to teach students what they need to learn. Students learn less and goof more around in the activities. The grades of students could decrease badly because they are not learning enough. Also not all students are caught up in class and they would have less time in class to finish their makeup work. For example, some students do not show up to school and they would not have much time to catch up with the work that other students have finished in class.

Once my friend Generic_Name was in two extracurricular actives he was very stressed after only two weeks. He had so much work he owed and did not have enough time in class to catch up.

Seeking multiple opinions can be good because it helps make fast ideas in important situations, other people might make a better idea that you might not had thought of, and they might convince you to do the wiser choice.
To begin with, it helps make fast decisions in important situations. For example, if there is a really big emergency the people involved can make a decision quicker so less people end up injured. If everyone shares ideas, everyone can build off of each others ideas. It can help if you are a fast thinker because you might be able to get someone out of a bad situation. Listen to other peoples stories when asking for advice because you might be able to learn from their personal experiences. Lastly, everyone working together to make ideas can help a lot.
Secondly, you can get ideas you would have never of thought about. People go through different experiences, so ask more than on person. Ask a couple of people, and then pick what you thought was the best. The more people you ask, The more options you have to pick from. The older people you ask might have gone through the same thing.

D7F4D3366332,"The FACS (Facial Action Coding System) machine developed by Dr. Paul Eckman is turning the tides of facial expression recognition. It is able to distinguish individual expressions such as happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness which humans can find hard to do making it vital to being infused into the use of schools. Teachers would be able to learn more of their students and improve on their curriculums in order to satisfy the needs of their students. The FACS machine would be able to tell whether a student is lying, needs emotional support and help, and see whether they understand the lesson or not making the machine essential to school life.
When it comes to school, students will not always tell the truth. They may lie about not doing their homework or be untruthful about whether they were involved in a fight. The FACS machine could solve that issue as it is able to determine whether someone is lying or not based on their expression which is stated in the quote,"" To an expert, faces don't lie; these muscle clues are sometimes used to spot when a ""smiling"" politician or celebrity isn't being truthful."" This machine is able to examine the details of one's face to find out if they are lying or not. It examines the key traits of each specific emotion and if they are not meant, that is how it knows whther the truth has been told or not. Students will no longer bee able to weasel their way out of punishment due to their superior lying skills as the FACS machine is able to see through the lies. This is not the only thing this machine can do though for schools.
This mechanism is able to determine the emotions of a student and see if they need help or not. It can read a total of six emotions with some branches coming off of those emotions. The six emotions are stated in the quote,"" Eckman has classified six basic emotions - happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness - and then associated each with characteristic movements of the facial muscles."" The machine is able to determine whether a student is in distress or not thus telling the teacher to help the student out with the problem that they are facing. The teacher would be able to help the student cope and deal with their emotional sadness or anger and tell them how to deal with it in order to assist them in getting through it. This is not the end though of what this incredible machine can do for a school.
Students may not understand a lesson and are having troubles getting through it. SInce humans find the task of reading emotions diffficult, a teacher may not be able to see this and help the student out but this machine can deal with that problem too. How the machine deals with this horrible issue is state in the statement,"" A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored, Dr. Huang predicts. Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor."" This quote shows how the FACS mechanism would be able to tell if a student is bored which would signal the teacher to modiffy the lesson in order for it to be better understood. Students would no longer have to complain about not understanding their homework or curriculum. This would allow for better grades and better lives for the students in the future.
In conclusion, the FACS machine would be essential to the lives of students in a classroom. Teachers would b able to make the experience of school even better than it is already and easier than it is already. No student would have to struggle anymore which is key to the success of a school as everyone would learn greatly and effecttively.

D9EA6EA497D8,"Wouldn't be neat if you could do all your school work while being in bed? School is a place where you can learn and grow as a person; however, learning at home can actually help students out. Students would benefit from being able to take classes from home(distance learning) because certain events happen that make it so students cannot go to school, students learn at their own pace, and they are more accountable for their learning experience and process.
There are events that occur that prevents students from being able to come to school. For example, people get sick all the time. This prevents them from coming to school because if what they have is contagious, then it will affect everyone around them. The worst part is that people force themselves to come to school with sicknesses because of the level of classes they are taking. There are many AP classes that students take, and they cannot afford to miss that class for even one second; otherwise, their grade in the class may drop. The better alternative is for the student to stay home and get better without having to miss their classes. This is where distance learning comes in. If the student is not feeling too terrible, he/she can also complete the assignments and understand the topic without having to miss out on anything.
Everyone learns at their own pace, so paces vary from student to student. Many teachers don't recognize this and think that every student is the same when it comes to learning. In reality, everyone absorbs knowledge in any different ways. Assuming that distance learning includes video conferences and ""Google classroom"" type system, then students can almost learn anything they want with whatever pace they want to learn it at. This is could because if a student can really take their time and fully understand the topic they are learning, this will result in them having this information in their head for longer. It also makes sense that passing rates for the class and standardized
It is fair to argue that being at home reduces your attention span, and that you are more likely to get distracted at home then you are at school; however being home provides a more relaxing tone to studying then when you are at school. Also, at school teachers may forget something, so you are not fully accountable. You are one hundred percent accountable for everything you do if everything is given to you online. This prepares students for college life. There will not be anyone in college to help keep you on track. Everything is up to you, which makes you one hundred percent accountable. In a way, you could say that distance learning is a real life simulation of what to expect from college in terms of learning.
Distance learning provide many benefits for students. We must try to implement this system as it will truly be revolutionary for us students.

As you know of the complaints and suggestions of community service and we have not come to a conclusion yet obviously and people will not agree with each other until of course something is settled and taken care of. Me and a group of students have ourselves come to a conclusion that we would give you the advice to help settle this problem.
The Job of community service can be tiring but a man like you knows that putting hard work into something is a good thing. We have all had something we didn't want to but as we all it is either good for yourself or your community in the end. It can be like a homework assignment in many ways because you may not want to do it but it is for your own good and the improvement of your class grade.
I think that if we put in some effort into this than we can all do a good job and get this over with together.

2F159741CBBE,"Drivers should not be able to use cell phones in any capacity while operating a vehicle. Distracted driving is one of the most common causes of road accidents. One of the main reasons why you shouldn't be using your phone while driving, because the human mind is easy to get distracted. Which leads you in a dished. Leading to and unnecessary crash.
Worldwide over 1.6 million crashes happen each year. Nearly over 300 hundred k people are injured. From accidents caused by texting while driving. In the United States approximately 9 people are killed and over a thousand were injured in crashes because they were distracted. Cell phones are leading factors that cause accidents. Teens have been the largest age group reported driving distracted. It has been reported to be over 50% of teens crashes. People should stop driving with cell phones because it end other people's lives. Even a two minute drive going to the store of you picking up your phone can cause a crash. Might not be a major crash but it could ´ve been avoided. Should only be on your phone if you're parked.
People should have an hands-free set in the car it's safe because they can drive using two hands. Like in the state of Georgia it's illegal to hold your phone while driving even at a red light. The driver can't have the phone touching them while on the phone. It must be on a hands free setup. Hand free stands are helpful. Plus you don't have to worry about getting pulled over. And it somewhat helps the diver from getting distracted.
All states should consider making it illegal to hold phones while driving. Therefore the average car wreck will go down. These wrecks cause innocent lives leaving loved ones without their family member. ",,302,Phones and driving,Independent,"Today the majority of humans own and operate cell phones on a daily basis.

5B4AE145379C,"Summer is an important time of the year for students; it is an good time for rest, but it is also an good time for further education. Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue their learning during their break. These projects should be student-designed rather than teacher-designed because, by designing their own projects, students can learn more about what interests them, express themselves creatively, and gain more responsibility.
However, some people who disagree with this point of view may say that teacher-designed projects can be designed to fit into the next school-year's curriculum allowing students to prepare for their next year of learning. For example, if environmental health is a significant theme in the 10th grade science curriculum, teachers can design summer projects for rising 10th graders about the environment so they get a head-start in understanding the subject. While this argument may be true, specific, teacher-designed projects take away the many positive effects of student-designed projects, including the ability to learn more about personal interests.
Student-designed summer projects allow students to learn more about the interests they have. For example, if a student is very interested in government, he or she can complete a summer project about the two-party system in the United States, the bicameral system in Congress, or even the differences between government at the federal and state levels. Discovering more about personal interests is essential to students. By finding out more about what they like, students have many more opportunities in front of them. Personal interests lead to college and career interests, which lead to structure in adult life.
Students can express themselves and use creativity when designing their own projects. For example, if students are allowed to decide how they present their projects, they can express themselves through drawing, painting, photography, or even web-design. If students can express themselves creatively, they can free their minds, decrease stress, and become further engaged in their learning. Teacher-designed projects would destroy this creativity, and students would be stuck in a non-creative box. If this were the case, students would become bored, and the negatives would far outweigh the positives.
Student-designed projects give students more responsibility. For example, if a student was assigned a teacher-designed summer project, he or she would only be responsible for completing the project; but if he or she was told to design and complete a project, he or she would have to research possible topics, search for relevant information, find ways to present it, create a plan, and execute the plan. This shows that students have significantly more responsibility when designing projects themselves. This responsibility will train students and teach them how to work independently, which is an essential life skill. If students completed a teacher-designed summer project, they would not learn this skill as well as they would when designing a project on their own.
Simply stated, teacher-designed summer projects do not provide the many benefits of independent summer projects students design on their own. If a student was assigned a teacher-made project, he or she would miss out on personal interest discovery, creativity, and responsibility. More schools should replace teacher-designed summer projects with student-designed projects.",,523,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

03F55023E993,"When you're voting for a president to govern our country, your vote should count just as much as anyone else's. The political way of voting right now, is by using electoral college. You cast your vote thinking that your voting for a president when actually your voting for that candiadates electors. Electoral college is unfair, irrational, and could have some really serious consequences.
Electoral college is not fair at all to the people voting. When you vote for president, most of the time you think that your voting for the person that you think will really help to improve this country. With electoral college, you might as well just vote directly for the electors. If all your vote is doing is going to the electors, then presidential candidates shouldn't even advertise themselves because in the end your not voting for them, your voting for the electoral college for that candidate.
The presidental candidates don't go to all the states when runing. They simply go to the states that they know will support them and the states that will most likely vote against them. What about all the other states that arent neccesarly with or against the candidate? They don't ever see any advertisments for the candidates, the person in the presidental race doesnt go to see them, and so when they vote they are basically blindsited by the name on the ballet. It's completly irrational to only go to the states that love you or hate you.
The best argument against the electoral college is something called the disaster factor. To make a long story short, basically it's that the state legislatures pick the electors, and those electors could always defy the rights and will of the people. For example, you could vote for a presidental candidate, but his/her electors cast their vote for the opposing candidate. That's taking away your right to vote for the person that you want to win.
When voting, your vote should go to the person that you chose. Not who the electoral college for that person called. Electoral collages have so many flaws in the system. It's unfair to the people voting, not all the states get as much exposure to the candidate as others, and the system could totally collapse on itself if the electors dont vote for the person that you voted for. That is why popular voting is the best way to elect a political figure. Your vote is going to the person you choose, not to the person someone else chooses for you.

Driverless cars can't perdicted whats happening around it or keep people 100 percent safe. Some exmples from the article ""Driverlees Cars Are Coming"" are we need smarter roads not cars, cars still need to alert people, and todays laws.
In the article, it descibes that ""futurists believed the key to developing self-driving cars someday wasn't so much smarter cars as smarter roads"". It also states that ""the smart-road systems worked surprisingly well but they required massive upgrades to existing roads, something that was simply too expensive to be practical"". Driving cars dont have a course to follow all the time. What if you want to go off road or something random gets in the road. The car wont be able to stop or slow down to see those things.
Saddly the driverless cars are not driverless like they say. In the artlcle it talking about the cars steering, accelerating, and braking themselves but need a human skill to navigate thtough work zones and accidents. Even though a car with steering, accelerating, and braking and the cars alert you when u need to take over sounds amazing, to me it sounds very dangers. Think about it how much time do you have to react? If people are just sitting in these cars do you really believe people are going to watch the road? people will become way to relexed, i could see myself falling alseep. I don't feel as though the is very safe.
Driverless being legal is of course very important but that will need a change in traffic laws, new laws will be needed in order to cover liability in case of an accident. If a horriable acccident happens with a driverless car who is respondable? In the article it bring up that very good point. they are so many unknows and dangers of completely relying on a cars or on a person to watch the roads.

211941CEE73C,"Many people are beginning to see that cars are causing lots of greenhouse gases to be released into the atmosphere. These greenhouse gases affect our ozone layer in the atmosphere and causes global warming and causes high pollution levels that make it hard to breathe for most people.
Some residents in a small suburb in Vauban, Germany are living life without cars and. This little change has helped to drop greenhouse gases in Germany. Many residents believed that at first they were not going to like walking everywhere but they have now realized that they are cutting down on greenhouse gas emmisions from tail pipes and it helps uncroud the streets.
Greenhouse gases have a tremendous effect on our atmosphere and the air that we need to have to be able to survive. In Paris, government officials put out a ban on what cars could be used on certain days to try and bring pollution levels down around the global city. The first day was fining motorists with even-numbered license plates after they were oredered to leave their cars at home. The same would be done to odd-numbered motorists the next day. The smog around the city cleared enough on Monday that the French party decided to lift the ban for odd-numbered motorists on Tuesday.
In Bogota, Colombia, Colombian officials took a day to have the city completely car free. Many people took buses to work, hiked, biked, or skated, leaving the streets of Bogota eerily devoid of traffic jams. It was the third straight year that cars have been banned to try and promote alternative transpotation rather than cars and to try and reduce smog around the city. Two other cities joined the event and participated to try and reduce smog around the smaller cities as well. Some municipal authorities from other countries went to Bogota to see the event and saw how much it helped and are now thinking of doing their own version of the event in their countries.
In America, recent studies show that Americans are buying fewer cars, driving less and getting fewer licenses as each year goes by. Many researchers are wondering if America has passed peak driving. America has been one of the worlds prime care cultures do to its inventions for the car. The United States peaked in 2005 but have steadily dropped thereafter. As of April 2013 the number of miles driven per peson was nearly 9 percent below the peak and equal to where the country was in January 1995. These actions have caused less emission of greenhouse gases from tailpipes into the atmosphere dramatically. Studies are going to see if the driving rate steadily goes down or if it is going to pick back up, to see if less greenhouse gases will be emitted from tailpipes to hepl reduce smog around many major American cities.

Community service is also fun to do.

49CF9D20146B,"Dear principal,
I think that phones are mandatory for someone to carry around with them at all times; otherwise, what's the point of having a phone?
Let's say there is an emergency at school. A student is having a stroke in the bathroom, and no one is around to help him. If the student has a cell phone then he can just dial 911 and get sent to the ER. However, if he doesn't have a phone; survival percentages are very slim. The school will then get sued and lose a lot of money. Everybody knows that principals hate their students, but all care about money. That is the main reason phones should be allowed at school; just in case.
There are also cons to letting students hold phones in school. Last year, every single one of my classmates used a phone or an i-touch sometime during the year; everyone except for me. That is because my parents are very strict Asians and I won't get a phone or a girlfriend until sometime in college. Phones really are a pest towards concentration, nobody paid any attention at all during History class at all. (Then again, everyone hated the teacher, the class was boring, and half the people were sleeping.) Still, the whole phone scandal thing is still a huge problem. Right now, one of my friends still uses his phone every single hour of the day; and he still gets all A' s.
I really don't think phones are a problem at school because most of the people that use them have very good grades. People who don't pay attention in all their classes (me, cell phone users) still ace the subject. (Even though I'll have to pay attention in high school.) Cell phone are not a distraction in class they are just a fun little device to get one's mind off things. I can still listen to my teacher blabbing on while I watch my friend texting.
To recapitulate all this, I think that cell phones should be allowed in schools if there is an emergency, for boredom, and to annoy others by spamming them with text.

905A76FFA540,"When driverless cars come up in convesation must people will be like ""wow so cool"", but most people do not know what they are talking about and they think they just want to look cool in front of people with their cool new gadgets. Driverless cars are easilly a good thing, but why? Most likely driverless cars are safer with more advanced technology than we have now and they also can prevent some pollution that the public transportation system gives off in the major cities. Most people think that driverless cars are dangerous or they think they are just some cool technology.
Driverless cars are a good thing to come, but not anytime soon. Driverless cars can prevent accidents from happening. Teenage drivers are the leading cause of accidents worldwide because they are knew to it or they are on their phone while they are driving. Just think if teenagers had a driverless car the accident rate would go way down and the teenagers that are so young would stop getting killed. Driverless cars are not just for teens, but for everyone think of the elderly, in some peoples opinions old people or senior citizens should not be able to drive. Driverless cars could help get elderly to their bingo games safe and on time. Paragraph nine states ""Most driving laws focus on keeping drivers, passengers, and pedestrians safe, and lawmakers know that safety is best achieved with alert drivers."" Now people know that teenagers are never going to listen and put their phones down because they think they are smarter than the last person who was texting and driving. It says that ""Most driving laws focus on keeping drivers, passengers, and pedestrians safe.""(9). Well one way they can do that is with driverless cars.
Google cofounder Sergey Brin believes that driverless cars can replace public transportation such as taxis or busses. Major cities in the United States have the highest pollution globally and that is to blame the public transportation system along with many other things, but public transportation is one of the main factors. Sergey Brin envisions ""a future with a public transportation system where fleets of driverless cars form a public-transport taxi system.""(1). We do not know if this will be happening some time in the near future or years down the road. Sergey claims that the driverless cars would ""use half the fuel of todays taxis and offer far more flexibility than a bus.""(1). Well since we know that major cities usually have some sort of public transportation system now they are letting off huge amounts of pollution and using a lot of fuel each and every hour of the day. Something has to change Sergey Brin says he wants to cut the taxis and busses feul in half by using driverless vehicles instead. He states the vehicles would ""offer far more flexibility than a bus.""(1). We do not know what this statement means, but if it means that he can make driverless busses that recieve better fuel economy than a regular bus that is polluting the earth. That would be a really big improvement if he could accomplish that. Stopping global warmming should be a big topic of discussion and driverless cars could have a big impact on stopping global warmming.
Most people do not think about how the impact on society that driverless cars can bring to the table. People do not think about how the cars could potentially save teenagers lives or their family or anyone for that matter. Also, they do not think about the fact that driverless cars could replace the public transportation system and stop one of the main factors contributing to the pollution or global warmming. Some instances driverless cars could be a bad thing in our world and some people just want to look cool. Citizens have to look at it from a different prospective and imagine a safer and less polluted place.

8C61F2374230,"In the summer, learning significantly decreases in students, so it's important to continue learning. Having a summer project is a great way to do so, but is it better to have the project designed by teachers, or the students themselves? Summer projects should be teacher-designed because teachers know what is expected to be learned, it will be fair to the students, and teachers already have more experience in designing assignments.
Teachers are already well informed about the curriculum about the subject they teach, and they also know some of the curriculum for the other classes related to the subject. For example, a math teacher for Algebra 1 has also taught Geometry in the past. Since he has experience in Geometry, he knows what his students should expect in the next year when they take Geometry. The students were only exposed to the content in Algebra 1, therefore making it more productive if the math teacher designed the summer project. By implementing content of the next school year into the summer project, students will be better prepared for the class. Because teachers teach the curriculum for the students, they know what is most important/useful to remember. For instance, a Biology 1 teacher knows that the unit focused on animal and plant cell anatomy is crucial to remember because it is always used in Biology in general, so she mostly focuses the project with cell anatomy. It is beneficial to students if they are informed what is expected to be to know in the future. Teachers who know what is most useful to know would design summer projects more effectively by knowing what content to emphasize. Students do not know what is important to learn because they are in the process of learning, so having them design summer projects would not effectively help them better prepare over the summer.
If students are assigned to design a summer project, they are most likely to do something that is personalized to be easy for themselves with a lot of bias, which is not fair to everyone. Such as, English 10 students were expected to come up with comprehension questions for a book, and they ended up creating questions that were easy to them, but very difficult for other students. Students would not know how to create assessments that would cater to everyone's level of knowledge. Since teachers oversee the class, they would know what kinds of questions to create that would best fit for the class's knowledge, with no bias. If there was student bias involved in designing a project, many other students will have complaints and disagree with the components of the project. For example, a history teacher who assigned a project did not receive a single complaint compared to when a student proposed a project. If students know that the project was designed by the teacher, it will significantly decrease the amount of complaints and the students would just accept it because he is a higher authority. By having the teacher design the project, students will all have a fair assignment to do with no bias since it was designed by the teacher. Having students design a project could create a lot of disagreement.
Teachers have more experience in teaching and the basics of learning. They have traditionally always created and designed assignments in the past. For instance, a Psychology teacher has been teaching for over ten years knows how to create effective projects for his students. Since he has been teaching for over ten years, he has more experience and knows what he is doing. People with more experience can design better quality projects than someone who is still learning, Teachers know what techniques to use to effectively assess knowledge. An example is that an English teacher added more steps for annotating a book because she knows that it actually helps students understand the book better. A student would not like to add more steps in annotating a book because it is more work, but they do not know that is is very helpful in the long run. The process of learning is more likely to be effective if the assignment was designed by a teacher because they have more experience. It is important for students to learn with purpose and practice beneficial habits.
If teachers designed summer projects, it would be beneficial to the students' learning. It would ensure that students are learning the correct information needed, would be be just for all the students, and it would be more efficient since teachers have more experience. The purpose of summer projects is to continue learning in students over the break, and teachers definitely have the power to do that.",,775,Summer projects,Independent,Some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure they continue learning during their break.

69144038DA0E,"Dear Principal,
I think it would be a good idea to let students bring their phones to school but only let them use their cell phones at lunch and other free periods. This is a good idea for many reasons including they can check with parents about the rest of the day, they can write down in their phones what assignments they have and notes about it.
If students where allowed to have cell phones in school they would be able to check with their parents about their after school schedule. For example say the student has a younger sibling they need to pick up but their parent forgot to tell them then if the student had a phone they could learn about the task and know they had to do it. That is just one reason why it is a good idea for students to be allowed to have cell phones in school.
Also if a student forgets thing easily they can write down a assignment on their phones to remember it after school. This can help raise students grades and therefore giving the student more self esteem and more chances to succeed in life. Would you deny a student their future?
Some people might say that students would use their phones in class and that would distract them from learning. But this is a simple problem to fix. you could make a rule saying that if anyone is caught using their phones in class that they get a detention. and if a teacher can spot someone chewing gum then they can spot someone on a phone.
So as you can see letting students have phones during school but only letting them use it during free periods is a great idea. It is a great idea because parents could inform student about their after school schedule and students could write down assignments after class on their phones. And if this turns out to be a bad idea you could always take away the rule.",,330,Cell phones at school,Independent,"Your principal is reconsidering the school's cell phone policy.

The Electoral College is not what it used to be, its not the most effecent way anymore. The people should decide this time, I am not saying get rid of it. But we should change it.
There are many people who agree with me. Over sixty percent of the vters would like a more direct system of voteing (according to a Gallup poll in 2000). And so did Ritchard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Bob Dole, The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and AFL-CIO.
The main reason why people want a change is for all the qurks in the Electoral College system. For example, if you lived in Texas. And you wanted to vote for John Kerry, you'd vote for a slate of 34 Democratic electoers. Witch in most cases would be O.K., but they could betray the party and vote for whom they please. It doesn't always happen but the possibility is real. And people, like the segregationists back in 1960, could have gone agenst their party and pick electors to go agenst Kennedy.

A3960A410B74,"Dear Senator,
My friends father always complains about how the voting systems work here in the U.S. He believes that the electoral votes should not really matter. He strongly leans on the idea that candidates should win an election by the popular votes. Although the Electoral College has helped with many situations before, like the 2000 election, when Al Gore had the more popular votes then Bush yet, fewer electoral votes. I'm started to believe that changing the electoral votes to popular votes would be better for elections of presidents.
Replacing the electoral college with popular votes would be better for elections of presidents because, it's the peoples choice. For examlpe, people vote for the candidates that they more relate too and their choices. Having the electoral college around can make an impact to their choice. Say if a majority of a state vote for a candidate, but the state doesn't have enough electoral votes for that canididate to take a lead or win the election. How can they get there favorite candidate to win the election? The electoral college is blocking that way for that particular state. In brief, people need their say for their favorite candidate instead of the electoral college giving them points.
However, the electoral college has some pros for the candidate and also the states. For instance, the states of california has many electoral points for candidate to win an election. I believe there are fifty-three for that states because they have many representatives. If the majority of the people in the state vote for a democrat or a republicin the electoral points goes to either one of them. Giving that candidate big points to even take a lead in the election.
To wrap it up, the electoral college do have pros and cons in a election. The electoral college can give a candidate the election. But the popularity vote are for the people and by the people. I stiil stay towards to the idea that the popularity vote is a greater way for voting. Remember it does say We The People in the Declaration of Independence which was sighn by our founding fathes.

67F6F80C872B,"In the article ""Unmasking the Face on Mars"" there are examples proving that this is just a landform. In the beginning of the article is starts out with the things that could have been true such as an alien artifact. Throughout the years technology gradually improved, therefore we could see more. Some still don't believe that it could just be a landform, but I am going to try to give you multiple examples so you can see what we saw.
The first part of the article is information about what we found. It mentions how everyone made a big commotion about the Face. Who wouldn't though? We don't see this often, but it is in fact a butte or mesa. Back in 1976 we didn't get the best picture. So we got closer tried to get the best shot possible. After we got closer, also in 1976, we ended up with a success and get a clear photo. Yes, it did look like a face, also depending on which angle you look at it though. Some say it looked like it resembled an Egyptian Pharaoh. It took a lot of research to realize what it was, we had an idea but we weren't so sure in the beginning.
We have people believing that NASA is lying. I can assure you we are not lying. With our budget, we wish there was an ancient civilization. This would be a breakthrough! So for everyone skeptic, and the people thinking we are lying it isn't true. We put so much money and time into researching this. It isn't an easy proccess. It's actually really hard, you have things you have to find out. We also didn't want to give out false information. We had to let people know the truth and that is why we didn't just tell everyone there was a face (landform) on Mars right away.
Eventually it led to the media. The Face was all anyone was talking about. It was everywhere. In the article it talks about how it became a ""pop icon."" It talks about how this ended up starring in a Hollywood film. It appeared in books, magazines, and radio talk shows. It was all people would talk about in the grocery lines as well, or as the article calls it, ""haunted grocery store checkout lines."" This went on for 25 years. This was a very big conspiracy, well that's what some wanted to believe. Since it was everywhere and there were so many rumors about it, this got the people who were big conspiracy theorists all wound up. No matter what information we presented them with, they just didn't want to believe, they were feeding into their own opinions and basing everything off of the untrue rumors. There are many people who still don't believe us to this day.
We are almost 100% sure this is a landform. We have looked very, very closely at these pictures, and it has changed overtime. If you look in the article, at the very beginnning they have three pictures with different years, the first was taking in 1976. The second was in 1998 and the third was in 2001. If you look closely they aren't the same, it's a landform, it changed. We have also looked at things on earth to try to compare. We have landforms in the midwest that look like this as well. Sure some don't look exactly the same as ""the Face"" but that's because they are landforms. Landforms are different. Things erode and change overtime. In the article it says that Garvin had looked at some things as well and he said, ""It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho."" and ""That's a lava dome that takes form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars."" This is how he sees it, Which is also fact, there is a Plain in Idaho that he thinks is similar. The lava dome may be something that could have occurred with the mesa on Mars too.
In conclusion, I am writing this and including many reasons why the Face was not created by aliens because I am giving the truth. I have given more than enough reasons and so many different facts. I hope you believe me along with NASA. It's just a landform. It changes overtime, it just happened to look like a face. We get that it looked like a face, but when you think about it, it also depends on how you look at it. It was weird to a lot of people. We are sorry for any false information that was brought up.

Saying that '' if there was no electoral college there would be no winner-take-all system.'' this would a terrible problem for the canidates and the voters, and would ruin the whole election.
Therefore sources two and three makes some pretty valuable and good points, but I still think source two makes more sense to me. In source three Richard A. Posner wrote '' it is the electors who elect the president not the voters. When your voting for a president canidate your actually voting for a slate of electors. I dont agree that electors decide what we voted for, because then whats the point of voting for a canidate if your not even choosing at all. America is a democracy and having someone choose your president for you is not showing that we live in a democratic nation. We need to choose so we can learn from our own mistakes and then we won't make them again.
This just shows that the House Of Represenatives and the government don't trust us at all and that we cant make good decisions. Source one doesnt say anything about being against or with it but it did point out some interesting facts about the electoral college. The office of the federal register wrote '' the electoral college is a process, not a place. The founding fathers established it in the Constitution as a compromise between election of the president by a vote in congress and election of the president by a popular vote of qualified citizens.'' What their saying is that we might not have huge say on the election but we do have a pretty big say on it. I don't that we have any say on it what so ever, and that is because of the slate of electors.
In conclusion, I agree with what source two had to say because of the great points they made and the facts that led me to belive that the electoral college does not work at all. Read the sources and then tell me if you think i'm right or wrong.

It includes 538 electors, with a majority of 270 needed for election. States have electors equal to their Congressional representation, and the District of Columbia is treated as a state with 3 electors. Electors, typically selected by political parties, vote in December after the general election, where voters choose preferred electors. Most states use a winner-takes-all system, except Maine and Nebraska which use proportional representation. The electoral votes are counted in a joint Congress session on January 6th, and the President-elect is sworn in on January 20th following the general election.",https://huggingface.co/datasets/nlpatunt/dataset_rubrics/raw/main/Persuade/score_prompt_template.html
2A242B3DCC49,"I don't like it that us students has to have a B average just to play sports because most students has a C average i don't think it is right. Its wrong for you to change the policy because it will be hard to play sports or other activities and keep a B average. I know school work is more important than sports but sports in what I am trying to get a scholarship in.
I think we should just keep it as it is a C average to play sports and if we fail then its our faults not ours you can kick us off of the team or whatever until we get our grades back up. I think it would be easier in us just to keep it as C average i know life is hard and we have to learn but try to make it as less painful as possible.
If you want to change the rules than you can but you will be seeing a lot of athletes quitting because lack of getting that B average. I know you want us to do good in school and do good in sports and in school but its hard when we have to have a B average and get into shape for football, baseball, basketball. Etc.
The only way your going to be seeing a bunch of athletes is if you decide to keep the average at a C average.
