54fa9dac46f1 | 18AC57CFB338 | Firstly, the option of online classes would allow students to attend classes despite conditions that would normally prevent them from doing so. | Claim | Effective |
25c097685758 | 18AC57CFB338 | 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 ... | Evidence | Effective |
b4aea5d07675 | 18AC57CFB338 | Another reason that students would benefit from online classes is that home can be a better learning environment than school. | Claim | Adequate |
0f0bde900427 | 18AC57CFB338 | 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 classe... | Evidence | Effective |
939cd606a9a5 | 18AC57CFB338 | Some may argue that taking classes from home would reduce students' level of focus. | Counterclaim | Adequate |
0f0fd8c83e44 | 18AC57CFB338 | 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, st... | Rebuttal | Effective |
d807ed31bffd | 18AC57CFB338 | One more significant reason for providing the option of online classes is that they are much more logistically efficient than classes taught in person. | Claim | Adequate |
ec4dd0251604 | 18AC57CFB338 | 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... | Evidence | Effective |
ca32e9604800 | 18AC57CFB338 | One argument against online classes is that they would stop kids from learning to interact in person. | Counterclaim | Effective |
0b99596acb5d | 18AC57CFB338 | 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. | Rebuttal | Effective |
bfab9704c734 | 18AC57CFB338 | 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,... | Evidence | Effective |
56c1abc6b6e1 | 18AC57CFB338 | 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 ... | Concluding Statement | Effective |

ebc1805abe91 | 18EAB669FDE2 | First off if electoral college was to be replaced it wouldn't be fair to all the presidents elected before it was replaced because they would feel like they were cheated because the new voting system would have been used for other presidents but not them. | Claim | Adequate |
fc4e72fa6742 | 18EAB669FDE2 | Getting rid of the old way of voting would be like ripping up the constitution because were changing the one thing they wanted most a fair way for all presidents to be elected. | Evidence | Ineffective |
52e0ad5b2a5b | 18EAB669FDE2 | As well as my first reason people who have been voting since they were 18 would have to learn how to use this new voting system. | Claim | Adequate |
0a87c1420e58 | 18EAB669FDE2 | Replacing the electoral college would be catastrofic to those who have used it in the past because all thy know is how to use the electoral college so a new voting system would be like alien technology because all they know how to use is the old way of voting. | Evidence | Adequate |
aece3c4bfe35 | 18EAB669FDE2 | Also everything we've worked so hard to achieve will be changed. | Claim | Adequate |
fec2e043c4f1 | 18EAB669FDE2 | In the past the former senaters fought over how a president should be elected president so evreryone argued and argued for days on end because the couldn't decide then they came up with the electoral college. | Evidence | Adequate |
08e3a564f898 | 18EAB669FDE2 | So in conclusion replacing the electoral college would be unfair to former presidents, unfirmilaur to people who have used the electoral college, and and everything we've achieved would be changed. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |

Community service should not be required by all students. Although community service is a wonderful thing, service should never be forced | Position | Effective |
498838cab6bc | 193B0EE3BF45 | I think it shouldn't be required because when students are required to do something they usually don't want to do it | Claim | Effective |

5e49af9dc03f | 193B0EE3BF45 | When you are serving others you are doing it to be kind, but if you had no option then you're doing it for no reason.

6ed944ae4a58 | 193B0EE3BF45 | It's a rebellious stage of life when they think they can do whatever pleases them. So naturally if someone tells them that they absolutely must do something, they automatically think no way. If they have an attitude like this it will ruin the experience and they won't get the good feeling people do when you serve other... | Evidence | Effective |
a24a70ac3b94 | 193B0EE3BF45 | If they had lots of little siblings and both their parents were at work all day, then they would have to watch them and they would never find time to do things such as community service. Also someone that doesn't excel in school but wanted to get a scholarship would probably have to be working very hard almost all day ... | Evidence | Effective |
a0be34023734 | 193B0EE3BF45 | Therefore community service should be recommended to students, not required because when people serve they should do it willingly, and if they don't they won't have a good attitude about it. Teenagers have a mind of their own so being told what to do bothers them to the point of them never doing it again, and some peop... | Concluding Statement | Effective |
a44f1aa31ed7 | 193FCB88CF06 | I think we should keep the Electoral College because it gives the people opportunities to vote for electors and presidents | Position | Effective |
b86fb2257404 | 193FCB88CF06 | If we vote for popular votes then that doesnt mean people truly know what president they want to run their country. When we vote we are actually choosing our electors when we vote for president because when you vote for your candidate you are actually voting for your candidate's electors. | Claim | Adequate |

1ed3fbb25c9f | 193FCB88CF06 | Over seventeen sates did not see the candidates at all,Including Rhode Island and South Carolina. When you vote for a presidental candidate you're actually voting for a slate of electors. | Evidence | Adequate |
4b475d0dd67b | 193FCB88CF06 | here are five reasons for retaining the Electoral College. One reason is certainty of outcome,Two Everyone's President, Three Swing States, Four Big States, and yet but not least Five Avoid Run-Off Elections. | Claim | Adequate |
c5ad5289072f | 193FCB88CF06 | These are all practical reasons, not liberal or conservative reasons. It is entirely possible that the winner of the electoral vote will not win the national popular vote. The Electoral College requires a presidental candidate to have trans-regional appeal. Voters are likely to be the most thoughtful voters, on average... | Evidence | Adequate |
efc85f908ef5 | 193FCB88CF06 | Now in my case that is wrong because wether you vote or not everyone person should have the right to see what the president is doing to their country. So, other things being equal, a large state gets more attention from presidental candidates in a campaign than a small state does. | Claim | Adequate |
1540be1f1bb8 | 193FCB88CF06 | 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, which invariably produces a clear winner. It can be argued that the Electoral College method of selecting the ... | Evidence | Ineffective |
