Personal Changes

 When I was a freshman, I was very lazy. Now I am not that lazy with my work. This shows that I try to turn in more of my work instead of blowing it off. This also shows that over the years you start to mature on your own. I have also became more taller over the years. This shows that my height has changed. Also this shows that I  have really have grown up. By my senior year, I hope to be done with all my school work and graduate.

Are sweatshops a violation of people's human rights?

sweatshops are a violation of people's human rights. One reason is that the people that work inside often do not have contracts and if they are harmed they can not get health help of any sort. Another reason is that even small kids apply in the eyes of the boss's that run the shops which means that no age is safe. Additionally, forced labor is very similar to slavery. In conclusion, none of these things are right in the end.

Think of one word that describes how you are doing in school and explain your selection with examples. Think of one word that describes how you are doing in school and explain your selection with examples.

One word I can explain on how i'm doing in school is okay. The reason I say this is because  I do my work but not all the time but I try to make it back up. Sometimes I get distracted and lose focus a lot too. Whenever I have a low grade i go back and try to make it up so I don't get too far behind

Should cell phones be allowed in schools?

Cell should not be allowed in schools. One reason is that kids that use their phone in school make kids distracted and can not focus on their work. Another reason is that in USA kids are falling behind because they are too distracted with cell phones in class. Additionally, there is no need to have a cell phone out while you are doing your work. In conclusion, There is a time and place for everything and school is not time or place for cell phones.

Are American students falling behind academically compared to students in other countries?

American students are falling behind in school. One reason is that a lot of kids do not take their school work serious or take their test serious. Another reason is that the teen population is more focused on games and other distractions to do instead of their work. Another reason is that kids don't study enough in school. If the USA was compared to China then the USA would really be behind. Our data is way behind and slow and does not have a far range.

Should adults have the right to carry a concealed handgun?

Adults should not have the right to carry a concealed handgun. One reason is that if you establish a law that perments people to carry guns then more people will die. Also some peole might think that it is an indicatcation to use wepons. Additionally, humans can not justiy the taking of anthor humans life which is very crule. In conclusion, people should not get the power to kill other people just because a law says you can.

Should a student have to pass a high school exit exam in order to earn a high school diploma?

a high school should have to pass a high school exit exam in order to earn a high school diploma. One reason is that in society when you grow older you should know the basic and standard things that every else knows so you can get a high paying job. Another reason is to distribute the right jobs to people so that a person without basic skills does not end up somewhere high in power. Additionally, If you are in high school and you want to obtain a good job which may vary instead of being stuck with one option you should get your diploma.

schools should not eliminate "D" grades.

schools should not eliminate "D" grades. One reason is that it pushes a student to interact with their teacher so they can get better grades if they need to. Another reason is that students need to compensate with rules and not try to go around them. Also their has been schools where if they do not get D's then the students push harder to get passing grades. Additionally getting a D on your report card still means that you failed so you should not settle for less when it comes to your grades. In conclusion, students need to suck it up and start passing their grades so they do not need to worry about this problem.

"We are all Trayvon Martin."

The reason I think they use this term is because any of us can be walking down the street and can get shot for no reason. I think that if you place your self or it can be your son or daughter, this is a very scary fact that at any ponit and time you can die for no reason at all. Things like this show us that there is still racism going on in the country and it needs to stop. SOON.

Global Positioning System (GPS) devices should not be required for habitually truant students.

Global Positioning System (GPS) devices should not be required for habitually truant students. One of the reason I think of this is because certain students might assume that someone is just trying to always affect the school in a harmful way. Also if a student has a brace on thier ankle then they can not conduct thier work in a useful way because they are distracted by their brace. So a student can be in school but might be out of his or her element do to the brace and could feel very unconfortable. In conculsion students should just take ttthe reposibiltity and go to school without having to be told too.

Do school officials have the right to use drug-sniffing dogs?

I think that school officals do not have the right to use drug-sniffing dogs. One of the reasons I think tat this is wrong is because kids might get offended that thier own school owners do not trust that they are going to school just to learn. Also when the kids would like to go straight to class, the process of checking all the bags might be a long process that certain kids would not want to wait for. Anthor reason to not bring in the dogs is that kids might not respond to seeing animals next to their products and won't trust dogs at all. In conculsion the school officals should trust that kids are not bringing drugs onto thier campus.

Do you think it is fair that high school students must pass an English and math test to graduate?

I feel that you should not have to pass the Englush or math CASHEE to graduate because mabey that week you were having a rough time and you didn't do so great so you failed but I don't think you should have to pass this test just to pass high school. I know that you have to pass the CASHEE to pass high school so it does force the kids to step up their game but also puts more stress then needed on their mines. I am a little concerned that more and more kids will fail the CASHEE and not make it out of high school and drop out. I am confident that I can pass the CASHEE and have a good life outside high school.When I see my CAHSEE scores, I hope to feel that I have succseeded my expectations.

"They're going to all be killed!" I heard one say. One alien saw me and he yelled"go back to your ship or be killed!" I ran away yelling"Your all crazy!!" I ran until I got to my ship and left to my home planet.

online learning

I think online learning better then going to a campus because you get to work at your own pace rather  than be rushed. Also if you need a more better time to turn your work in you won't get distracted by the AREA around. I think the only bad thing is the the teacher can't CLARIFY if you are cheating or not. The reason a campus and home school learning differentiate is because you have to leave your house to go to school.

I bit into one but also had to drink some milk and when I drunk my milk it made a weird noise in my throat. after I was done with my cookies I was really full.

Academic Language Week 22 - Felons Voting

Felons should be able to vote. I think it is irrelevant to bring up the past. If the USA thinks that this is wrong  they should check their source from where the crime is coming from. The u\USA is very complex and they have more stuff to worry about. In conclusion felons should be able to vote.
