In this prompt
I will argue about how students can study from long distance, not all schools approve the current subject | Position | Adequate |
5d3b05726055 | DD474E5804C0 | If students were to study from home it would be difficult for them to understand what the assignment that is being asked to complete at certain time. The students should be able to afford a device which is necessary to study any subject. | Evidence | Adequate |
2ddb7335e980 | DD474E5804C0 | Attending classes from home can cause for students to be able to work more and do their assignments on time. | Counterclaim | Adequate |
e157c5c9510b | DD474E5804C0 | Schools will not exist if students leave to study home which will make it hard for them to communicate with teachers when help is needed. | Claim | Adequate |
52be6a521d4c | DD474E5804C0 | Students would not meet each other or talk physically which would be awkward, can cause them to not trust each other if it comes to a project that needs to be done. Physical education would not be a class since everything would be on devices which is a conflict, which is needed to graduate. In many short word students ... | Evidence | Adequate |
46bbbe5f2fda | DD474E5804C0 | Typing online or video conferencing is not easy if the person on camera is shy and doesn't like video conferencing which can be very often. | Claim | Adequate |
fb973f73a125 | DD474E5804C0 | Accessing to both subjects can not be trusted if the school will be monitoring every movement you take on your device. Testing online can be easy to cheat if the teacher is not around walking and watching what your doing. Students might not know many things but cheating and being sneaky are the two most known words we ... | Evidence | Ineffective |
9703430680b8 | DD474E5804C0 | In other words there are advantages to studying online, disadvantages online and it would be a big disappointment for students to fail almost every class that needs to be taken for graduation. | Claim | Adequate |
4a1e7ef8c7ba | DD474E5804C0 | If they have a job they will consider work their first priority instead of school. Student's would not receive a scholar ship or diploma so that they can go to college and accomplishing the goal of having a better job.
| Evidence | Adequate |
9363fe377f76 | DD474E5804C0 | Some people say that school is very important for students, that they'll earn more money than their parents who probably dont have a well paid job and education. | Counterclaim | Adequate |
b1ba5ad0cdce | DD474E5804C0 | But I think it can benefit sometimes it can be a amazing idea for students to study home because they won't drop out of school. Students have different emotions that trigger them to want to leave school behind, since they start working more to pay bills that need to be paid each month. | Rebuttal | Adequate |

All students should go to school to focus on what they want to be in life or do. Physical experience is not the same as typing online or video conference.

School is providi... | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
ff3f4a3e8268 | DD586A625C89 | 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. | Position | Effective |
93693a63e694 | DD586A625C89 | In this generation, too many kids are using their cell phones in rule breaking, grade declining ways. | Claim | Adequate |
d7a6e14f781b | DD586A625C89 | 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. | Claim | Effective |
a8a60886f872 | DD586A625C89 | 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 all... | Evidence | Effective |
85086c555909 | DD586A625C89 | 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?" | Claim | Effective |
dc5144d84425 | DD586A625C89 | Sure, using your phone outside of school to contact your friend is reasonable. | Counterclaim | Adequate |
b1238f716ab8 | DD586A625C89 | 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? | Rebuttal | Effective |
48e026dbb6b1 | DD586A625C89 | That is the main reason why lunchtime was created in schools- to talk to your friends instead of using the alternative cell phone. | Evidence | Adequate |
67a0d9fb3f84 | DD586A625C89 | 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 phone... | Evidence | Effective |
8cb2e8cd7db6 | DD586A625C89 | 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. | Concluding Statement | Effective |
