8236b39f03cf	4178B01DEEC6	The first reason why I think we should keep it is because when we vote for the people that represent us they have lots of experiance in the politics area therefore meaning they have a better idea of who would be a better president.	Claim	Adequate
12a9a96de95a	4178B01DEEC6	They have spent years learning all about politics so the "most thoughtful voters should be the ones to decide the election."(paragraph 20) In paragraph 16 it says "But each party selects a slate of electors trusted to vote for the party's nominee.", also meaning that the people we select to represent us is trusted people that will have the same vote as you for the desicion of president.

80087523e34d	4178B01DEEC6	Paragraph 15 says "The Electoral College is widely regarded as an anachronism, a non-democratic method of selecting a president that ought to be overruled by declaring the candidate who recieves the most popular votes the winner.	Counterclaim	Effective
c4b233713480	4178B01DEEC6	The advocates of this position are correct in arguing that the Electoral College method is not democratic in a mordern sense... it is the electors who elect the president, not the people." therefore going back to my first paragraph that is why you select people that you trust.

ed1cd7ebae41	4178B01DEEC6	Like in the 2012's election . for example, Obama recieved 31.7 percent of the electoral vote copared to only 51.3 percent of the popular votes. Also in that same paragraph (18) it says that because almost all states award electoral votes on a winner-take-all basis, even a very slight plurality in a state creates a landslide electoral-ote victory in that state.

4fa1743e6210	417C226944D6	"At the most basic level, the electoral college is unfair to voters. because of the winner-takes-all system in each state canidates dont spend time in states they spend no time in stats the know thy wont win." Some states can get no canidates out and its because the electoral college is unfair. "It`s official: The electoral college is unfair, outdated, and irrational. The best argumants in favor of it are mostly assertions without much basis in reality. And the arguments against direct election ar spurios at best.

They vote for the slate of electors who in turn elect the president. You should keep this going because when I get older I want to vote and im pretty shore that theres other people who want to vote when they get older to. You should keep the Electoral College going. Another reason is we want to have a president that we can trust. We just want to vote for who we want to. We just dont want anybody to be president. The Electoral College is a non-democratic method so there may be know reason we should shut it down. Please dont shut the Electoral College down, you should keep it going and not ever shut it down.

3a5565eaa16f	4195C11B8348	I think if the votes are close then everybody should vote again not just one person outta ten people the state has to choose. Also it is not done professionaly like it is supposed to be. Some people deserve a shot at it but no you guys think that the presidents from the last election should be put back in well no because that same guy who won it last year has the chance to win it again and its not fair if he wins it again.	Evidence	Ineffective
c57e90e45b91	4195C11B8348	The first reason i disagree with the way the election is done is that it is not done fair.	Claim	Adequate
0104dd12ad90	4195C11B8348	The first thing is that everybody should be able to vote the second time not just ten people from each state. If those five outta ten people choose the same then that state wont count and thats not fair at all. Some of the people outta the ten that were chosen either didn't vote the first time or they have no idea what they are doing what so ever and they could possibly mess up the system or they could mess up the votes.

7657571a093b	4195C11B8348	First they chose ten random people to vote in the second round of elecion. They won't give anybody else a chance to vote during the second election. MY second most important reason is that in the first election their are more than twenty people on the ballet and now the second election only has two people on the ballet i think theor hould be atleast three or four on the ballet. My last reason is on how they vote for the people of he second election. The way that they do it is not fair they send out a list with twenty names or more on it and they have to check at least two names and send it back and then they count the votes and then the fist ten for each state get to vote for that state do it is like a drawling and they even send it to the people when theor name is on the ballet.	Evidence	Ineffective
e9c1e4e73842	4195C11B8348	My overall reason is that it is not done professionaly like it should be. The same people should be running for president again especially the one who won before because he has another shot at winning again. That means that they change to many things. Like the school food and drinks the food is now healthy and the drinks are diet some kids and teachers have to have sugar or they will not do so good through out the day like if the have diebetes they might need some sugar well they wont get it because all the food is healthy and the drinks are diet now.

b3ef1264a13e	41F94D05D278	The Electoral College is a process which the founding fatehrs established as a compromise between election by a vote in congress and by popular vote.

07e924cdd8bd	41F94D05D278	It should be on the peoples votes since they are the ones being affected by the changes. Not by the Electoral College. The winner-take-all system is not fair what so ever. If there are more votes foe whatever president in that state then the electors will go for that president. This is like bandwagoning for football teams. If they go to the national championship they will change to that team. This voting shopuld change to the peoples votes instead of this winner-take-all system. It is more fair and balanced. Think of it this way in 2012 that more people voted for Mitt Romney but the electors didnt think so that is unfair. Right? The voting needs to be changed once and for all to a popular vote system instead of the Electoral College. This is the best way for the United States to deal with this madness. One solution and you are one step forward to a better Nation.	Evidence	Ineffective
d031b0a38d07	41F94D05D278	The Electoral College may have been in better use for the past but now it is the future and we need better ways for voting. We need to go back and use popular vote instead of Electoral College.	Concluding Statement	Adequate

46a169480b90	42B977C6E77F	Policy one would be a good policy because some kids do need phones at school.	Claim	Adequate

c83f7b5055b9	42D8CCA3643E	Everyone has their own desires and values in life, even students. Though one may be attending school, they could also be wrapped up in another area of their life. Many students enrolled in schools right now do not only just focus on schoolwork, rather they are involved in many out-of-school actives. For example, students model, dance, make videos on the internet, and participate in travel sports. Having such a busy schedule, being able to get one's school work done outside of school can be very useful to many, because then they can try their best to fit everything into their schedules at any time or place of the day. All in all, having the work done, rather than not, is more beneficial to both students and teachers.	Evidence	Effective
f307cb356a5f	42D8CCA3643E	Adding onto getting work done, many students prefer working in an environment special or more comfortable to them. One major reasoning for that is one's medical conditions. Nowadays, many public schools offer a special education program, but to many, the system might not exactly meet their requirements. Many handicap students need special transportation, seating, and feeding, which schools may not be able to provide. They also require alert attention at all times because anything could happen to cause them discomfort, pain, or even to fall down. Other students going through a health issue may find schooling at home to be rather more comfortable due to the same reasons. At home, the students will have their family members to look and care for them. Besides the staff not being able to properly handle students in need of altunitive care, the, "regular," students attending the school can also be an issue. Kids of today are not the nicest and love tearing others down on their insecurities. Bullying could be a serious concern to many special education students.	Evidence	Effective

bd948fcdca4b	42D8CCA3643E	Along with students personal concerns, there are many problems that can arise at the homes of these students them to miss school.	Claim	Effective
ec9cc97ff7f3	42D8CCA3643E	School is one part of student's lives and some only have a limited amount of time they can put towards that one part. Many people struggle with family matters and are not always left out of them because they attend school. A student might be going to school everyday and as soon as they get home, they are taking care of another member in their family or cooking and cleaning. Many kids run their households because their parents are not in the right condition to act their part. This leads to students working and schooling. All those things take up a big portion of time and can cause much stress on the individual. Also, many times, students just fall ill out of nowhere, and are in such conditions where they have to stay home and rest. Having access to classes online and available to them at any given time reduces much burdens off their shoulders. No one really knows what goes on in student's lives outside of school, so the opportunity to attend classes should be permitted.	Evidence	Effective
3b651820385b	42D8CCA3643E	In conclusion, students would be able to benefit from being able to attend classes from home for many reasons. Their schedules, conditions, and personal reasons are all apart of this matter. If classes are not available to attend from home, many students will have lower grades due to concerns they can not help nor fix. Give students the right and privilege to do school work outside of the school building!	Concluding Statement	Effective

They have spent years learning all about politics so the "most thoughtful voters should be the ones to decide the election."(paragraph 20) In paragraph 16 it says "But each party selects a slate of electors trusted to vote for the party's nominee.", also meaning that the people we select to represent us is trusted people that will have the same vote as you for the desicion of president.

You should keep this going because when I get older I want to vote and im pretty shore that theres other people who want to vote when they get older to. You should keep the Electoral College going. Another reason is we want to have a president that we can trust. We just want to vote for who we want to. We just dont want anybody to be president.

My last reason is on how they vote for the people of he second election. The way that they do it is not fair they send out a list with twenty names or more on it and they have to check at least two names and send it back and then they count the votes and then the fist ten for each state get to vote for that state do it is like a drawling and they even send it to the people when theor name is on the ballet.

It should be on the peoples votes since they are the ones being affected by the changes. Not by the Electoral College. The winner-take-all system is not fair what so ever. If there are more votes foe whatever president in that state then the electors will go for that president. This is like bandwagoning for football teams. If they go to the national championship they will change to that team. This voting shopuld change to the peoples votes instead of this winner-take-all system. It is more fair and balanced. Think of it this way in 2012 that more people voted for Mitt Romney but the electors didnt think so that is unfair. Right?

Everyone has their own desires and values in life, even students. Though one may be attending school, they could also be wrapped up in another area of their life. Many students enrolled in schools right now do not only just focus on schoolwork, rather they are involved in many out-of-school actives. For example, students model, dance, make videos on the internet, and participate in travel sports. Having such a busy schedule, being able to get one's school work done outside of school can be very useful to many, because then they can try their best to fit everything into their schedules at any time or place of the day. All in all, having the work done, rather than not, is more beneficial to both students and teachers.

Adding onto getting work done, many students prefer working in an environment special or more comfortable to them. One major reasoning for that is one's medical conditions. Nowadays, many public schools offer a special education program, but to many, the system might not exactly meet their requirements. Many handicap students need special transportation, seating, and feeding, which schools may not be able to provide. They also require alert attention at all times because anything could happen to cause them discomfort, pain, or even to fall down. Other students going through a health issue may find schooling at home to be rather more comfortable due to the same reasons. At home, the students will have their family members to look and care for them. Besides the staff not being able to properly handle students in need of altunitive care, the, "regular," students attending the school can also be an issue. Kids of today are not the nicest and love tearing others down on their insecurities. Bullying could be a serious concern to many special education students.

Many people struggle with family matters and are not always left out of them because they attend school. A student might be going to school everyday and as soon as they get home, they are taking care of another member in their family or cooking and cleaning. Many kids run their households because their parents are not in the right condition to act their part. This leads to students working and schooling. All those things take up a big portion of time and can cause much stress on the individual. Also, many times, students just fall ill out of nowhere, and are in such conditions where they have to stay home and rest. Having access to classes online and available to them at any given time reduces much burdens off their shoulders. No one really knows what goes on in student's lives outside of school, so the opportunity to attend classes should be permitted.

In conclusion, students would be able to benefit from being able to attend classes from home for many reasons. Their schedules, conditions, and personal reasons are all apart of this matter. If classes are not available to attend from home, many students will have lower grades due to concerns they can not help nor fix. Give students the right and privilege to do school work outside of the school building!
