"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.

Homonyms Practice Blog Paragraph

Once I went to a planet that was not mine but the aliens greeted me to their home planet. I saw a group of the aliens huddled up and I went there to hear the conversation. "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.
