a78a5bc87af5	765A364BDA2E	Some students learn better in an enviroment that's more quiet and a place where they feel safe such as their own home. Doing school from home is not for everyone, alot of students do homeschooling because they don't like school or if they dont feel as if they are safe and sometimes it's just too distracting for them so they make the decision to do school from home. Everyone learns differenty, it just matters how you apply yourself in your schoolwork and how you work. Many students struggle in school because they are worried about their grades and there is a lot of distractions that keep them from doing work sometimes.	Lead	Adequate

6c9ea003c1a7	765A364BDA2E	Many of us students struggle in school, it's hard trying to keep grades up with also trying to keep a social life and any other problems that come our way. When the idea of school pops up into a students mind, it can be seen as annoying. When you have the privilage to do your work on your own time makes the student feel more calm and not worried about when a projects due or if they did their homework. Everyone is different some students may benefit from homeschooling or online school, and some may not, every student is going to learn differently.	Evidence	Adequate

785ba9a7b2c7	765A364BDA2E	Everyone has their reasons why and how they choose thier education. School is a very important asset in life, it is better to be educated in a space where you learn the best, rather that be at school, at home, or online.	Evidence	Adequate
fb3bd5ff5a74	765A364BDA2E	Homeschooling is a good source of eduaction, but I think that a school eduaction from a public or private school is better than doing it from home or online.	Claim	Adequate
295287e8f344	765A364BDA2E	Some students may learn better in a space such as their own home but, they may not get all of their work done and sometimes may never even do their work. When you dont do your work your grades start to drop and when they drop it can be hard to get them back up again. With homeschooling or online school it's different. Online school you dont have a teacher with you at all times helping you with your work or telling you what you missed or are missing. Responsibility comes into play when you are doing your school work and with online school you are responsible for all your work and when you do it. When you are going to school everyday there is a time when you do it and when you turn it in, in most cases you can find a teacher to help you out with your work when needed, you can't really get that with online school. One time when I didnt know what to do for an english project, I had to go to my english teacher and ask him how to write the paper, and he sat down with me and told me how to write a good paper, he didnt tell me what to write but he told me how to wite it. Some students may not get that with homeschooling. With homeschooling students may have a teacher there with them, which is great but sometimes they might be to comfortable since its at their own home and students may start to slack off.	Evidence	Adequate
7545a344f96d	765A364BDA2E	The way students apply themselves is all that matters,	Claim	Adequate
1e4b3729e8d1	765A364BDA2E	if a student does not do their work and pushes it off for later that's not applying yourself to your best ability. School is easy if you just try and pay attention. You have to want to pass and want to do good for you to succeed in school. Everyone thinks differently and it might take a little bit more time for other students. All that matters is the way you comprehend work and what kind of a space you work best in. If you work better in a silent space where its just you and your schoolwork then homeschooling is for you but, if you work better with other people then school is better. The way a student learns is very imporatant to the decision of homeschooling or school.	Evidence	Adequate

ce6ad159047e	765F4BB0381E	Dear Senator: I'am writing you this letter to inform you that I argue in favor of keeping the Electoral College. Why?	Position	Effective
b15f2fcaeb95	765F4BB0381E	Because this progress is widely regarded as an anachronism, a non-democratic method of selecting a president that ought to be [overruled] by declaring the candidate who receives the most popular votes the winner.	Claim	Ineffective
307ea2f612e5	765F4BB0381E	A dispute over the out come of an Electoral College vote is possible, it happened in 2000. All of this reasons are practical reasons, not liberal or conservative reasons. The Electoral College requires a presidential candidate to have trans-regional appeal.	Evidence	Adequate

e8aee2992983	765F4BB0381E	It can be argued that the Electoral College method of selecting the president may turn off potential voters for a candidate who has no hope of carrying their state. In Electoral College the electors are the one who elect the president not the people and my opinion is that its a good idea because not everyone has the same opinion. When you vote for a presidential candidate you're actually voting for a slate of electors.	Evidence	Adequate

4a8d6e05d09d	7672B22A2D8F	For the other students that don't play any sports or do any other activities, they would have the advantage of volunteering more at the school. In return to their participation, they could receive at least five extra points added to their lowest test grade of a class which they choose. No candy or toys will be given, because we would want the children to learn that you can make a difference without getting in return. With the five extra points, the students will volunteer, more because they wanted to. And the fact the cannot play with the five points, such as, the toys or candy.	Evidence	Adequate
54850ae0678c	7672B22A2D8F	I honestly think by doing community service, it will prepare the students for more and harder things ahead of time, or it might just even give them a good feeling inside themselves.	Claim	Adequate

59b4a93c2c35	76D57BCC7A10	this is because some people who do not have a lot of time on their hands would go crazy trying to perhaps juggle school projects, homework, out of school jobs that take up most of their day.	Claim	Effective

398f0f38ba38	76D57BCC7A10	So what I am thinking is to go to every teacher in the building and see what students work there hardest and what students don't and try to see who have after school jobs and who doesn't. and the people who do not work hard all day every day they should be the students doing community service not the hard working students.

c1a6334d9e21	771C8CAD2E80	Therefore, I'm sure these students don't have the time after school to do community service. If those kids had to do community service, it would most likely add stress to their lives and give them less time to do homework, so their grades could begin to slip. On the weekends is when kids relax and have fun with their friends and family, so it wouldn't be a good idea to make community service time on the weekend.	Evidence	Effective

Some students learn better in an enviroment that's more quiet and a place where they feel safe such as their own home. Doing school from home is not for everyone, alot of students do homeschooling because they don't like school or if they dont feel as if they are safe and sometimes it's just too distracting for them so they make the decision to do school from home. Everyone learns differenty, it just matters how you apply yourself in your schoolwork and how you work. Many students struggle in school because they are worried about their grades and there is a lot of distractions that keep them from doing work sometimes.

When the idea of school pops up into a students mind, it can be seen as annoying. When you have the privilage to do your work on your own time makes the student feel more calm and not worried about when a projects due or if they did their homework. Everyone is different some students may benefit from homeschooling or online school, and some may not, every student is going to learn differently.

Some students may learn better in a space such as their own home but, they may not get all of their work done and sometimes may never even do their work. When you dont do your work your grades start to drop and when they drop it can be hard to get them back up again. With homeschooling or online school it's different. Online school you dont have a teacher with you at all times helping you with your work or telling you what you missed or are missing. Responsibility comes into play when you are doing your school work and with online school you are responsible for all your work and when you do it. When you are going to school everyday there is a time when you do it and when you turn it in, in most cases you can find a teacher to help you out with your work when needed, you can't really get that with online school. One time when I didnt know what to do for an english project, I had to go to my english teacher and ask him how to write the paper, and he sat down with me and told me how to write a good paper, he didnt tell me what to write but he told me how to wite it. Some students may not get that with homeschooling. With homeschooling students may have a teacher there with them, which is great but sometimes they might be to comfortable since its at their own home and students may start to slack off.

if a student does not do their work and pushes it off for later that's not applying yourself to your best ability. School is easy if you just try and pay attention. You have to want to pass and want to do good for you to succeed in school. Everyone thinks differently and it might take a little bit more time for other students. All that matters is the way you comprehend work and what kind of a space you work best in. If you work better in a silent space where its just you and your schoolwork then homeschooling is for you but, if you work better with other people then school is better. The way a student learns is very imporatant to the decision of homeschooling or school.

It can be argued that the Electoral College method of selecting the president may turn off potential voters for a candidate who has no hope of carrying their state. In Electoral College the electors are the one who elect the president not the people and my opinion is that its a good idea because not everyone has the same opinion. When you vote for a presidential candidate you're actually voting for a slate of electors.

For the other students that don't play any sports or do any other activities, they would have the advantage of volunteering more at the school. In return to their participation, they could receive at least five extra points added to their lowest test grade of a class which they choose. No candy or toys will be given, because we would want the children to learn that you can make a difference without getting in return. With the five extra points, the students will volunteer, more because they wanted to. And the fact the cannot play with the five points, such as, the toys or candy.
