33b2d686bd52 | 0056F3D261D5 | In physical schools, students can casually ask their teachers for assistance and instantaneously receive aid. Through online schooling, however, teachers are not as accessible, for students are only able to contact their instructors during a specific time frame. Without readily available guidance from an instructor, students would be unable to receive convenient, understandable explanations of troublesome topics. Without such guidance, content would be much more challenging to comprehend, ultimately impairing the students' academic capabilities. Due to the lack of access students would have to their teachers, online schooling would not be conducive to academic success. | Evidence | Effective |
734d987be288 | 0056F3D261D5 | Overall, while online schooling would allow more comfort for the students, it would greatly inhibit their academic affairs, for they would not have access to crucial aspects of educational development, including social interaction, interactive experiences, and individualized relationships with educators. Without these fundamental components, students would not acquire lasting, solid educations, limiting their career possibilities and therefore the quality of their lives.
To optimize the educational as well as general quality of future generations, physical schooling must be promoted rather than the attendance of school from home. | Concluding Statement | Effective |
6e7b44cbc5e8 | 008C457C8E0B | I believe you should use policy 1 allow students to bring there cell phones to school.
As long as they use them at lunch or break or any free time during the school day and have them turned off before they come to class. | Position | Adequate |
aa65bd9d2db8 | 008C457C8E0B | the reason i chose this policy is because what if a student has an emergency during school like they get sick or get hurt something like that. | Claim | Adequate |
9541aa27d085 | 008C457C8E0B | If you had policy 1 then they could call their parents and get taken home to be cared for i know there are plenty of times when i didn't feel well and i wanted to go home. I could have used my phone but i couldn't because we are not allowed to use our phones at school only after school.
There is a possibility that some students wouldn't follow the rules about putting there phones away in class and teachers can take them away and they can get them at the end of class or the end of the day if this becomes a problem you can always consider changing the rules to policy 2 don't allow students to have there cell phones at all at school. | Evidence | Adequate |
debd9bed0f33 | 008C457C8E0B | people at school also need to use there phones after school to have their parents pick them up or if there parents cant they wouldn't have any way of reaching them | Claim | Adequate |
6b9534e220e7 | 008C457C8E0B | that's after school but sometimes they need to tell them during school so if they send a text during class they could cheek it at lunch or after class. that's why i would prefer to use policy 1
| Evidence | Adequate |
2c3f772b9dba | 008C457C8E0B | but you can always change it if it gets out of hand. | Concluding Statement | Ineffective |
1f0c6468c89a | 00B144412785 | I would like disuss why changing up the way we voyte today is not as bad f an idea as it sounds. Changing to elections by a popular vote sounds like its in the peoples hands instead of juts casting out votes on the slate electors. | Lead | Adequate |
8f15137988b6 | 00B144412785 | Aren't we voting for our president. innstead of countting onn the electoral votes to hep out or, go against out favor, it'd be much more easier to just let the people vote. | Position | Adequate |
31fd5f31cc23 | 00B144412785 | The elctoral votes are utterly useless or unimportant,though. If there is ever happens to be a tie between the two candidates the electoral votes can help break it. It'd be less of a hassle to have the florida residents vote,directly, on someone besides the president. Less worring about if theyre going to win or not | Evidence | Adequate |
e92e27413589 | 00B144412785 | Now when you start to think about it the electoral college is just unfair an pretty outdated,if you ask me. Change doesn't sound that bad. All im trying to achive by writting this, is to gain actual control over who we're all voting for. | Claim | Adequate |
8fbc1cbde661 | 00B144412785 | It's also not just what's completely wrong with the electoral college but how does it help in the first place? | Claim | Ineffective |
97ec8e436b45 | 00B144412785 | When you start analizing it, it really doens't help much. How much actual help can the lectora coellge make, in my defense not much. Why? Simple, its just 20-30 more votes and not many states have that much Hawaii has uop to 4 electoral votes, not much. | Evidence | Ineffective |
e176e16cff86 | 00B144412785 | Voters should be alowed to directly vote for who they want to be president and not rely on the lectoral college. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
c1ae72b8a0df | 00E3F86E3E6A | I believe that we do not need to require that all students perform community service. | Position | Adequate |
d0bdd0f8d933 | 00E3F86E3E6A | I believe that students that enjoy or want to perform community service may do as they like or choose. | Claim | Adequate |
97d935070887 | 00E3F86E3E6A | Some of the students believe that it should not be available at al | Counterclaim | Ineffective |
a764c11a342b | 00E3F86E3E6A | but i personally believe that it should be for those who want to | Rebuttal | Ineffective |
07517bf3ac2d | 00E3F86E3E6A | It does take a long time out of the day but also it helps the community all together because that's what it is. | Evidence | Ineffective |
ff2450499177 | 00E3F86E3E6A | my opinion is that we should have it for those who would like to participate in the activity. And we do not need to get rid of it all together. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
e36cc75039a8 | 016A403802E8 | That we have to do is get a B in sport or other activities | Position | Ineffective |
7dd682ad1821 | 016A403802E8 | because all the student get a C for doing in sport for that because that not doing something or not doing the sport or other activities that why u get a C in sport or other activities that if u get B that mean you was doing something sport and other activities that you spouse to thing with sport and other activities. and i think that if u no t wherein the outfit of sport u need to play in sport for that and that what if u get a B for doing something that is good and some other activities but if u get a C that you not wherein the outfits or other activities that need to do in there for to get good grade of B and C. B is good and C it ok it kind good in for sport and other activities what u did in there for something .And it fun to be in sport and other activities and having fun with your family and friends that what u did at home then when the principal come to your class what u have P.E they come and see what u doing in class like doing sport and other activities so u can get
B in that class room or they see u doing sport or other activities they might come in take a picture of u doing sport and other activities so u can get a B in that class if u did not do noting in that class room or u kind of did something u will get C for that and some other thing for sport there is a lot of sport and activities that u can do for that and let the activities that what the principal know about the sport and other activities so that ever thing make the policy change for the school so students can do some sports and activities for work and fun to be there that what the principal want so student to join there self for that there a lot of a sport and activities fun for them to have much fun doing a lot of sport and activities. | Evidence | Ineffective |
e79617cabca1 | 016F1BA050BB | My opinion on driverless cars is that they dont have enough support and they are not something that is necessary for our society. | Lead | Adequate |
7ef145f28663 | 016F1BA050BB | I dont think we need driverless cars, because they would cause too many problems and be too much work to take care of. | Position | Adequate |
86a23007b959 | 016F1BA050BB | Driverless cars should not be a huge focus in our society, because we do not need them and we should be focusing on being more productive. We should not focus on driverless cars but rather on the safety of the cars and roads we have now. | Evidence | Adequate |
4b63ae862ab9 | 016F1BA050BB | Driverless cars could be more dangerous than the dangers we have now, revolving around the cars, traffic, and raidlroads all around us | Claim | Adequate |
3fd73fc75eda | 016F1BA050BB | We already have too many problems involving cars that we don't need to add any more. The people who are involved in creating the driverless cars should focus on making sure that the railroads are safe before trying to come up with anything new. I think that creating theese new cars is already to much work. It would involve creating the sensors, changing the breaks, and making new computer hardware and software. Theese things will not protect us from getting into accidents or having cars crashes which should be our main focus. | Evidence | Ineffective |
b027bb8a0b44 | 016F1BA050BB | Even though they are taking away the concept of people having to drive the cars they are not preventing anything that could happen or that needs prevention. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
5773a1bd3768 | 016F1BA050BB | People may think that having a driverless car would keep them from having to do the work themselves. | Counterclaim | Adequate |
76cc786358d3 | 016F1BA050BB | Whn really what would happen is that they would have to pay more attention to everything around them, which would cause even more work. The cars would need to supervised more than they do now, because they would be moving and need us to take on more responsibility in controling the car. This could end up not working, because the cars could end up going out of our control. Which could cause more problems for us. | Rebuttal | Adequate |
c1e0a5cfb705 | 017302FBA532 | Would you change history? Some people think that there some things that were made by our past Presidents should be changed. Such as our Electoral College, people say it should be changed to election by popular vote for the president of the United States. | Lead | Effective |
d12a01e0dc8d | 017302FBA532 | So we shouldn't change history we should keep the Electoral College. | Position | Adequate |
97f84c49c319 | 017302FBA532 | The Electoral College consists of 538 electors. A majority of 270 electoral votes is requested to elect the president. Our states entitled allotment of electors equals the number of members in its Congressional delegation | Evidence | Adequate |
c8c1fe21bd20 | 017302FBA532 | Now think about this if we were to go with this changing thing look at how many people would lose thier job. | Claim | Ineffective |
0269840cb1b7 | 017302FBA532 | Therefore if the voting was by popular vote instead of by the Electoral College literally anybody could become President if there isn't anybody looking at it that knows what they are doing. | Evidence | Adequate |
9a5bcd3ec27d | 017302FBA532 | After the Presidential election,your governer prepares a "Certificate of Ascertainment" listing all of the candidates who ran for President in your state along with the names of their respected electors. the Certificate shows that the winning Presidential candidate in your state and shows which will represent your state at the meeting of the electors in december of the election year. | Evidence | Ineffective |
0481ff9e1f4f | 017302FBA532 | So without the Electoral College to make the decision of the President the governer can't make the "Certificate of Ascertainment" the other people and there respected electors won't get noticed for running. | Claim | Adequate |
11493e777fbc | 017302FBA532 | Other people think that we should change the Electoral College to the election by popular vote. | Counterclaim | Adequate |
4d5d7473c5e4 | 017302FBA532 | They think that under the electoral college system, voters vote not for the president , but for a slate of electors , who in turn elect the president. For instance, if you lived in Texas and wanted to vote for whoever, you'd vote for a slate of 34 democratic electors pledged to that person. At the most basic level, the electoral college is unfair. Because of the winner-takes-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. | Evidence | Ineffective |
2299a37229fa | 017302FBA532 | The Electoral College is widely regarded as anachronism,a non-democratic method of selecting a president that ought to be[overuled] by declaring the candidate who receives the most popular votes the winner. But each party selects a slate of electors trusted to vote for the part's nominee; however, it is entirely possible that the winner of the electoral vote will not win the national popular vote. There are five reasons for retaining the Electoral College despite its lack of democratic pedigree; all are practical reasons, not liberal or conservaative reasons 1) Certainty of Outcome 2) Everyone's President 3) Swing States 4) Big States and 5)Avoid Run-Off Election. | Evidence | Ineffective |

3cd559450d8d | 0195CE164102 | America is all about freedom and the power of free speech....etc. This is what makes this country great; no dictator telling us what to do everyday. Without the power of voting this country would not feel the same. It wouldnt feel like america anymore.

0418a2a7ccfe | 0195CE164102 | It makes people feel impowered. Knowning that they're making an imoportant decision in life. It makes people feel free and glad that they live in america. Where you have a choice that yours and freedom at the palm of your hands. | Evidence | Ineffective |

6fa4b3f8afde | 0195CE164102 | The popular voting process doesnt seem bad at all but i dont think some people would enjoy that very much so. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
d6ae30254eb0 | 01B3A57AB13D | The advancement of technology has allowed for the development of mass communication and the globalization of information that continues to revolutionize modern society. During this modern age, society revolves around technological innovation which brings up the question of whether digitally advancing the education system to better replicate the technological world is in actuality beneficial to students. | Lead | Effective |
08575a5c3a65 | 01B3A57AB13D | The educational curriculum that incorporates virtual courses is providing a beneficial opportunity | Position | Effective |
ebabbf9f4c79 | 01B3A57AB13D | because students won't miss classes due to environmental or structural school issues | Claim | Effective |
64053386739c | 01B3A57AB13D | they would save a lot of money | Claim | Effective |
0c71e528edee | 01B3A57AB13D | their schedule would be more flexible to account for non-academic opportunities in life. | Claim | Effective |
3297cf8945e8 | 01B3A57AB13D | Firstly, the primary reasons why schools get canceled and have to plan extra days within the school year is because of the fear of dangerous weather conditions that threatens the safety of the student body. | Claim | Effective |
3f2179e8c74e | 01B3A57AB13D | One of the main weather conditions that causes schools to cancel is heavy snow where ice would form on sidewalks and roads which creates hazardous conditions for students who walk to school and for school buses to drive on. The solution for weather cancellation issues is distance learning because students would benefit from having easy access to a mentor who would continue to educate them through the Internet while they are safely at home | Evidence | Effective |
c906ed414e8e | 01B3A57AB13D | Another external issue that can cause harm or cancel school for students is when schools are under reconstruction which creates distractions and hazardous areas within the school that can threaten the safety of the student body. | Claim | Effective |
eaee74845d37 | 01B3A57AB13D | Video conferencing would allow students to simply learn within the peaceful and safe environment of their home without without the fear of being injured or interrupted. Online courses ensures that students' learning process won't be delayed due to external factors to guarantee that students are properly prepared for final exams during the end of the school year. | Evidence | Effective |
3d6206e21b69 | 01B3A57AB13D | Secondly, students would benefit greatly from attending classes at home because they would save a lot money on transportation and on school lunch fees. | Claim | Effective |
2214424d17fd | 01B3A57AB13D | School expenses would overall be reduced if students are able to attend online classes because some students face the unfortunate circumstance of not having a school bus assigned to their specific neighborhood which means that their parents' car mileage and car fuel are being rapidly used up in order for them to have a source of transportation to school. Online classes, in contrast, would simply require students to walk to a quiet environment within their home to ensure that they can maintain a focused mindset that is ready to learn through either reading an online textbook or participating in a video conference. Another expense when attending a physical school are the school lunches which are priced from one to five dollars depending on the county or school system and can accumulate to an enormous amount of money for middle class students who eat school lunches everyday. Distance learning, on the other hand, would allow students the ability to eat at home without the need for their parents to pay additional fees and students with a variety of health issues or allergies can also control the ingredients of the foods they are consuming to ensure that they are not deteriorating their health. | Evidence | Effective |
d29c5b47c43d | 01B3A57AB13D | Contrary to what many believes | Counterclaim | Adequate |
55125dd791a2 | 01B3A57AB13D | distance learning courses are beneficial for students whose family are on a budget because the affordability of online courses surpasses the attendance of a public school when accounting for all the additional taxes and fees that are put onto students who are attending a physical school. | Rebuttal | Effective |
82e6d3d2e3a7 | 01B3A57AB13D | Thirdly, students would have a more flexible schedule that would allow them to account for new job opportunities and volunteering hours. | Claim | Effective |
173baa2f5118 | 01B3A57AB13D | Private and public schools are forcing their students into a regime and strict schedule that takes up the majority of the mornings and afternoons of their students' life which disables them the ability to apply for internships or well paying part time jobs that occur during typical school hours. Online classes would allow students the ability to choose the time for their classes which forces students to practice prioritizing responsibilities and improve on their time management skill. An example of students who mostly work while attending school are college students who have to pay for their attendance and possibly even lodging within the college campus. Virtual classrooms would allow these students to build their work portfolio while also allowing students to return home after work and finish their academic assignments at home during nighttime. Another reason as to why online courses' flexible schedule is beneficial for students is because they would be able to have enough time during daylight hours to volunteer and help give back to their community which builds the morals and social connections with others in the community while also allowing the students to formally engage in academic studies at home after they've finished volunteering. Students would greatly benefit from online classes where a flexible schedule will allow students to have more time to engage in different experiences in life and formulate a more balanced lifestyle that isn't fully revolved around academics. | Evidence | Effective |
fe53d42286bd | 01B3A57AB13D | In conclusion, distance learning is beneficial for students where it ensures that the students' education isn't hindered by uncontrollable weather conditions and it helps ease financial stress that low income and middle class families experience in a capitalist society. But most importantly, it allows students to have more independence which builds their character and further prepares them for the adult world where they are gradually gaining new responsibilities and experiences in life which they wouldn't be capable of experiencing without the flexible schedule that online courses allow. Virtual education is both effective and beneficial for the rising digital youths of America. | Concluding Statement | Effective |

3f4b32316587 | 01FE696E9CC2 | As long as you have the proper tools to let the students at this school have a chance to do community service I believe that several of them will take that opportunity | Claim | Effective |
2046da5530f3 | 01FE696E9CC2 | I suggest that you put brochures in the office for tutoring sessions, trash pick up, paper routes, and any other form of community service you can think of, so that children will have the chance to do some community service. | Evidence | Effective |
