But yet teachers wonder why we are so talkative in class this is my conclusion to this solution to the talking in class solution to the texting in class solution. | Evidence | Ineffective |

5ab098f664a1 | 077394BE6603 | To be President of the United States you have to win the vote of the people, but not only the people also congress.. | Lead | Adequate |
135b9a09bbc5 | 077394BE6603 | I dont think that the government should be in charge of everything therefore i think the people and only people who should vote for who is the President of the United States and not vote for electors. | Position | Adequate |
96f5c0fd1b98 | 077394BE6603 | I dont like how the electoral is set up | Claim | Ineffective |
b261a2efe478 | 077394BE6603 | for instince like it says What is Electoral College? section 10, "If you lived in Texas and wanted to vote for Jonh Kerry, you'd vote for a slate of 34 democratic electors pledged to Kerry." then he would get 34 electoral vote. | Evidence | Ineffective |
c32dcf53ad26 | 077394BE6603 | Then anyones whos not holding office can be a elector. What makes them so qualified? nothing. | Evidence | Adequate |
25083a049506 | 077394BE6603 | Whydoes everyone just cast a vote and they all get counted up and thats whos wins the election? I know why becaus ethe government like to be complicated. | Claim | Adequate |

fe0628216e39 | 077394BE6603 | All of that just seems a little complicated when it could all be settle by every one in the country voting and then adding up all the votes and thats the winner. But its the gosh, darn government that has to make it so hard. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |

9d92d590ec36 | 077EA8162D03 | Its not teaching them how to drive, its encouraging people to be under developed. They won't be able to access the real world they'll be spending alot of their time on social media as they do now. | Evidence | Adequate |

dd0b6649cfde | 077EA8162D03 | That's why it isnt a good idea to be making driverless cars. | Concluding Statement | Ineffective |
8d5f7cd8de1c | 077FC5CBB132 | I feel like driveless cars are a bad idea and a good idea. The reason i say this is because it can have a good outcome to it and a bad out come. There can be probles and it can solve some solutions. | Position | Ineffective |
d2d98efe5222 | 077FC5CBB132 | I think its a good idea because it can decrease some of the accidents thats happening | Claim | Effective |
bd562c257a47 | 077FC5CBB132 | As it says in the passage "Gm has developed driver's seat that vibrate when the vehicle is in danger of backin in to an object". Some people dont pay attention when there driving and it can lead to accidents, but with this feature of the car it can prevent all of that.
| Evidence | Adequate |
1f8afe292a0b | 077FC5CBB132 | Then, i also think it can be a bad idea. The reason why i say this is because there are some people out there that will take driveless cares to there advantage. | Claim | Effective |
618f22b83e87 | 077FC5CBB132 | For expamle, say if the person is driving in one of these driveless cars and there not paying attention cause there on there phone and the thin the car will just do everything on its on. So it a accident now. Like it says in the passage"this means human drivers must remain alert and be readdy to takke over when the situation requires. You cant take over if your busy on your phone or eating food or doing something you wouldnt do if you was driving. So thats the down part. | Evidence | Adequate |
df662f2d4ed7 | 077FC5CBB132 |
So with this being said, i think its a good and bad idea. I just think depends on the person whos driving the car should be able to handle it. But other then that its a good idea. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
74f8e51345a6 | 07C19143568C | Should the electoral college stay! well this is my responds on this topic,Let get started. | Lead | Adequate |
cc93c4a0a22a | 07C19143568C | I think the electoral college should stay | Position | Adequate |
8629ebc09189 | 07C19143568C | 1 major reason is to let the election have a fair fight. | Claim | Ineffective |
f79e16786596 | 07C19143568C | Another reason is that it in our constitution | Claim | Adequate |
f034b5893a9e | 07C19143568C | Another important reason is that with out the electoral there would only be 1 side of a vote for ex it just be the congress voting | Claim | Ineffective |
fcc099fbc829 | 07C19143568C | With the electoral the want it to be equal so nobody goes home felling down cause he didnt have a fair ruling or a fair election | Evidence | Ineffective |
64c6be2594be | 07C19143568C | For my 3 reason they help select how many elector on how many state could have witch for ex the 23 amendment of the constitution they allowed columbia to have 3 | Claim | Ineffective |
5ad433f569ab | 07C19143568C | I dont now much but that sound like alot. | Evidence | Ineffective |
786923da71f6 | 07C19143568C | 4 reason is that each state has his or her on elector. | Claim | Ineffective |
454b42fe1579 | 07C19143568C | If u havent notice i have said yes they should be hear to do there job as a elector and to do there job as a guy/girl to do there jobs rights. I understand why elector are trying to stay there trying to stay to have a sucessful carrer and do good in life and not be a bum that live on the street or working at mcdonalds. Another good reason is that if it turn into a tie then the house or representatives come into place and they put the thoughts into. A reason to be it unfair the electoral collehe get no credit for what happens they should get alittle for all the hard work they put into. Under the electoral college system, voters vote not for president, but for a slate of electors, who turn elect the president. Who are the elector? They can be anyone not holding public office. | Evidence | Ineffective |
0aed14dd3ba1 | 07C6107B301F | I believe that you made the correct decision. Education is very important in a students life. Being the principal, you should enforce this rule and by doing so, would improve a students future for the better. | Position | Effective |
7b5e2a07dcc5 | 07C6107B301F | You should ask yourself one question and ask many other students the same question; What will get you through your life and guarantee a good future, education or sports? This question will stump all the arguments they have except for one. An athletic scholarship. | Claim | Effective |
1cfa8991a1a3 | 07C6107B301F | I agree that sports is good for the health | Counterclaim | Adequate |
f72c4b9cb309 | 07C6107B301F | but is it absolutely necessary for the future? I say no, | Rebuttal | Adequate |
bbc27409958b | 07C6107B301F | because not everyone is going to get an athletic scholarship. The odds are for getting an athletic scholarship are slim and there will be many people who are competing for it too. | Evidence | Effective |
e7f87f37664c | 07C6107B301F | Education is very important | Claim | Adequate |
dd6ca6d37f3e | 07C6107B301F | there are many jobs out there that require people with an education, while as there are very few jobs that require you to be good at sports. In this world, education will get you far and having a C average isn't going to cut it.
| Evidence | Effective |
35bae84ab12c | 07C6107B301F | If they spend just as much time studying as they do playing sports, then it wouldn't be a problem, but when they neglect studying just to play sports, then they are harming there future. | Claim | Effective |
bde7ad2147e0 | 07C6107B301F | Think about all the futures you could save by just putting a little discipline. A C isn't very far from an F and that could jeopardize there whole life. If they study hard, they can have fun and live a good life when they get older, but having fun and neglecting studying now isn't going to give them a relaxing and fun future. | Evidence | Effective |
4097f0102e65 | 07C6107B301F | If they are trained to study hard and play sports at the same time, it will pay off because they will have to get organized and pay attention to time management. | Claim | Effective |
2bcef50d59e7 | 07C6107B301F | This is very important in High school and College because time management and organization will get you good grades | Evidence | Adequate |
95ac3cdd7c66 | 07C6107B301F | . I strongly recommend that you enforce this rule. Just watch the events unfold when you enforce it. There grades will rise and eventually they will be accustomed to all the hard work they put in. Education is everything and will shape your life, while sports is just an extracurricular activity that might or might not get you an Athletic scholarship. | Concluding Statement | Effective |
3b381d42f86e | 07CE3E0B4129 | Decisions are important in everyday life and affect many people around you in such a great way or a horrible way ,but you can only decide how it affects them. Community service is a great way to help your community you can tutor young children or you can clean graffiti and litter, but some people don't enjoy doing this or some don't even have time to fit this type of activity into their daily schedule. TEACHER_NAME I don't think that you would enjoy someone coming into your home telling you what to do would you? | Lead | Adequate |
9c44fc2290f4 | 07CE3E0B4129 | I do not agree with you on requiring all students to participate in community service | Position | Adequate |
01d2e264a62e | 07CE3E0B4129 | because people have busy schedule and live | Claim | Adequate |
d9ab41fdacc7 | 07CE3E0B4129 | and also some people don't want to participate in community service. | Claim | Adequate |
7c0966f208a7 | 07CE3E0B4129 | why would you want to require them to participate in community service when all its going to do is make their lives even more hectic. | Evidence | Ineffective |
aea4119913d8 | 07CE3E0B4129 | why make them do something that they wont even enjoy . I f the students don't enjoy what their doing then they wont understand the lesson that they are suppose to learn from the experience. | Evidence | Ineffective |
5e75081c6e96 | 07CE3E0B4129 | In conclusion TEACHER_NAME all i have to asked you is would you want to be forced to do something that you didn't want do? I don't agree with requiring the students to do community service. What I do think is fair and will accommodate every one is a sign up sheet asking students if they want to participate in community service. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
6d98481b6409 | 07D075719A6D | I believe that there should be no more Electoral College because it doesn't give people much of a say in who becomes President because there is just a commitee of people that are voting for the President. | Position | Effective |
370a627ef54d | 07D075719A6D | The Electoral College established by the founding fathers in the Constitution as a compromise between election of the President by a vote in Congress and election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens | Evidence | Adequate |
6038298bc808 | 07D075719A6D | The Electoral College only consists of qualified citizens it elect the President, so even when you vote the majority doesn't even matter because the President is only elected by those qualified citizens. | Claim | Ineffective |
f5c6487980f3 | 07D075719A6D | A lot of people prefer to have a different way of voting than we have now. "According to a Gallup poll in 2000, shortly after Al Gore won the popular vote but, still lost the presidency, over 60 percent of voters would prefer a direct election to the kind that we have now" | Evidence | Adequate |
3c3ed564a94d | 07D075719A6D | more that half the country doesn't want the closed election, they want a direct election. | Claim | Adequate |
d12f17978c6c | 07D075719A6D | Some people still say that the Electoral College is a good thing because they think it is a fair way of voting for President, but even if their vote doesn't really matter they still think it is a good thing to have for our country. | Counterclaim | Adequate |
fe8bcb789219 | 07D075719A6D | Also if they vote for a canidate who has the popular vote and still loses because the Electoral College voted for a different person, they might think that it is unfair, but they still think it is a good way of doing things. | Counterclaim | Adequate |
d3b36c7a3ab1 | 07D075719A6D | All in all, we should do away with the Electoral College because it is an unproper way of voting for the President and also can be unfair. It is unfair because it doen't give people a say in who should become President. If the person running for office has the majority vote and still doesn't win, it shows that the people of this country don't really get a say in things that are important. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
c162ead7a67c | 07D0B701C682 | Have you ever sat in your room and looked at the ceiling for a while and you see a weird shape or face? If you haven't have you ever stared into space and seen a shape or face? Do you think of how it got there, from an alien, your imagination, or natural landform? | Lead | Adequate |
00bf560e3bb9 | 07D0B701C682 | My guess would be natural landform.
| Position | Adequate |
ff5e130ba34f | 07D0B701C682 | I am saying natural landform because alians aren't real, and if they were why would they create a human face. | Claim | Adequate |
4f5b4ce156f5 | 07D0B701C682 | Maybe they were tryin to send a sign, if they were trying to send a sign why couldn't they have just come to earth and tell us what we need to know. What was the point of going to Mars no one lives on Mars we live on Earth. | Evidence | Ineffective |
b4b992f3247a | 07D0B701C682 | The is a 50/50 chance that it could be your imagination, just like if you were staring out of space or looking up at the ceiling and see a random shape or face, that is your imagination, so it could be you imagination. | Claim | Adequate |
974fc21aa615 | 07D0B701C682 | But the scientist wasn't really focused on this "face" they just happened to look over an see it otherwise just like if it was your imagination you would be very focused on to something and happen to see it. | Evidence | Ineffective |
f326826cc989 | 07D0B701C682 | It is a natural landform because when Mars came about this "face" was made along with it no one else put it their it naturaly came along. You can believe that it was put their by an alien but by the evidence and how I proved it you might think that it natural landform. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
c503c0ed9639 | 07E503B34962 | I think all of the kids in our community should do community service whether its with younger children or even just picking trash up along the road side. | Position | Adequate |
0c96085f3f50 | 07E503B34962 | The main reason i believe that we should support the idea of community service is because it shows responsibility and respect for the community we live in. | Claim | Adequate |
21bf325574dd | 07E503B34962 | Helping other people that could not help themselves would show great citizenship. | Evidence | Adequate |
6b1740a2716f | 07E503B34962 | There is not just helping people for community service. You could pick up trash and let people know we are serious about being a clean town | Evidence | Adequate |
d9f3f122f975 | 07E503B34962 | Sometimes community service is the best for kids with problems | Claim | Adequate |
8ce0934b13dc | 07E503B34962 | because they don't have a roll model in their life at least a good roll model that can set good goals and responsibilities for them. | Evidence | Adequate |
e811ad0ea531 | 07E503B34962 | These are some of my ideas and opinions about community service being good for us. | Concluding Statement | Ineffective |
fd14720eab5f | 0825571D1A47 | School can make some of the social challenges that certain students face more difficult and for others school can create these same challenges. Anxiety is something that many of deal with, some cases worse than others. Anxiety in the classroom is amplified. This can lead to a drop in grades and performance in school. Attention disorders such as ADD an ADHD can make school dreadful at times. Online classes that are taken at home will put the student in a comfortable space in which he or she can focus in their classes without 30 other things happening. Students can go through so much in their own lives, not to forget the fact in which we live in a world of chaos.
Tragedies, or "interruptions" happen in everyone's life and as students going to school is either not an option or is a very difficult one | Lead | Effective |
96e2214c654b | 0825571D1A47 | Students would benefit from having the ability to take online classes at home. | Position | Adequate |
b508c85e2b50 | 0825571D1A47 | Imagine being in a hallway with what seems like a million new faces every day and you are not familiar with anyone. Making friends is hard when you have anxiety because the most comfortable place is yourself. | Claim | Effective |
189699a05ef0 | 0825571D1A47 | A student with anxiety can be taking a test that is very challenging and tedious and the walls will seem as if they are beginning to shrink and close that student in. That is anxiety, anxiety is going over a whole conversation and going over what you will say so you dont mess up. Anxiety is scary. As you can imagine, school with 2000 kids everyday can be difficult for students. Working to overcome your anxiety can take a long time and is necessary but better results will be achieved when the student makes the decision for themselves to take classes at school rather than home because some kids just arent ready for that yet. | Evidence | Effective |
574802e6939e | 0825571D1A47 | Many students including myself suffer with attention disorders such as ADD and ADHD | Claim | Adequate |
adc45de69896 | 0825571D1A47 | You can just take a guess on why this would make school in a classroom hard. ADD and ADHD cause students to struggle to maintain focus and they both do it in different ways. Picture yourself day to day always finding yourself mentally blank, forgetting simple task, Losing your train of thought, and battling your mind trying to do a million things at once. This is the life of many students. Attention disorders can be treated with medication, however many families either cant afford the medication due to lack of health care or refuse to let their children take an addictive controlled substance. Some parents just think that there kid doesnt even try or is just "dumb". | Evidence | Effective |
e1f3955e66e1 | 0825571D1A47 | The 504 plan is a plan that was made to accommodate and assist students with learning disabilities. This plan works by giving students more time to complete assignments and giving students accommodations to put them in a learning environment that will benefit them | Claim | Effective |
1a3cad8537b0 | 0825571D1A47 | Sadly students with learning disabilities are forgotten about and neglected. Unlike children with autism or special needs students with attention disorders take the same classes as the general population. Therefore students 504 plans are followed based on who the teacher is, and sadly some teachers dont care. This means the student will not receive any accommodations such as more time on test. This can lead to poor grades, and not because the student isnt prepared. A student with ADD will have to read a problem 5 times before they really retain the information and even then everything is done slower because when students with attention disorders try to force their brain work too fast that is when things are forgotten and missed.
| Evidence | Effective |
85d5d135451a | 0825571D1A47 | An online class in the peace and quiet of your own home with the things you need to help you focus, things that you cant always have at school will surely benefit this student from an educational stand point and mentally. | Claim | Adequate |
9617b7c23477 | 0825571D1A47 | Life happens. Students go through more than you can imagine. Everyday students deal with the death of loved ones, pregnancies, abuse, sickness. These are things that some adults can barely deal with. As children we are dealing with life's problems for the first time. You can see why that would take a toll on us. Life happens and students go to school and deal with bullying, racism, sexism etc. It is natural that kids who internally struggle with themselves will make others feel small to feel a sense of validation and power. It is not right but that is human nature. However some of our bullies are our very own teachers. A student can be literally be on the verge of suicide and a teacher can give a student a hard time or just be blatantly rude. Teachers are different to students than they are to adults. As an adult you cannot just treat adults any type of way without consequences. Teachers use their power over students to do this because lets be real, as students we can complain and complain and it seems like nothing ever changes because no body truly cares. As much as it is said the actions of those in power do not show it. School is supposed to be a safe space but in reality it is not. There are people who take everything that life gives them and use it as motivation and they thrive. Others are not there yet in life as students are children. The education we are gifted with is a blessing. However sometimes the people in the building are the issue. Going to school for 9 months carrying a child is very hard. Kids can be more brutal than adults. Having the ability to take your classes online at home will benefit so many children in the school system. | Evidence | Effective |
3454ef37af80 | 0825571D1A47 | Students taking classes online will be very beneficial. My overall reasoning behind this is a lot of the problems that students face is because of the students and the teachers in the building. Online education eliminated those factors. Students distractions will be limited. The environment will be safer. It is sometimes necessary for students to take online classes at home therefore it should always be an option. The big picture is to make our next leading generation more educated than the last. Whatever makes that easier should be employed into our school systems. | Concluding Statement | Effective |
f131945d7c1d | 082598CC8955 | I think that we should be able to have phones out on free time or other reasons | Position | Adequate |
39c920d17033 | 082598CC8955 | because maybe theirs a reason that we need are phones out like if there's a in emergency if we forget something you never know what can happen | Claim | Adequate |
