927400c58808	8586AF2475F3	I have been told that you wanted to change the policy on the grade students should have to play in sports (if you have a grade C average than you wouldn't be able to play) , and that you also wanted the students views on that. Well I am a student here at SCHOOL_NAME and I know for the majority	Lead	Adequate
186d23cbdc2d	8586AF2475F3	most kids wouldn't think it fair if you went into action with this policy	Position	Adequate
650b3653cfee	8586AF2475F3	One reason why you should put this policy into action is because if the majority of the students have a grade C average at your school, then SCHOOL_NAME would lose many team members	Claim	Adequate
86184b6d6009	8586AF2475F3	this policy might make you think it would encourage kids to have better grades,	Counterclaim	Adequate
4b17a1d1e5bc	8586AF2475F3	but it might affect the team for those who want to slack off, not even necessarily slack off because a grade C average isn't even failing	Rebuttal	Adequate
6a0a20dc685e	8586AF2475F3	Unless you want the school's reputation to go down by losing many games because they have little members, than you could follow through with this policy. But I wouldn't encourage it.	Evidence	Adequate
df322cce98e7	8586AF2475F3	Another reason why I wouldn't encourage putting this policy into action is because a grade C average isn't considered failing, and in most schools for activities they won't let you participate if you are failing, but it would be fine with them if you had a grade C average.	Claim	Adequate
863807b64f31	8586AF2475F3	Not that we are in competition or anything but I am sure SCHOOL_NAME wants to be represented as a good, cool, and fair school.	Evidence	Ineffective
1edc5d66a11f	8586AF2475F3	Also another reason could be because maybe a student has a grade average C in one of their elective classes, now that definitely wouldn't be fair if someone didn't get to do sports because they had a grade average C in an elective class.	Claim	Adequate
ff9004394cea	8586AF2475F3	Electives are supposed to be a privilege, not something you should base whether they play sports or not. And the fact that they had a grade average C in that class and saying that they couldn't play sports wouldn't be fair because if they aren't even failing the class then they should have the right to play.	Evidence	Adequate
f561403b1206	8586AF2475F3	These are a few reasons why you shouldn't tell kids they can't play sports if they a grade C average. Think these reasons over and thank you for the time being that you read this letter.	Concluding Statement	Adequate

f5a518cc5482	85B74EF4E441	They could run the vehicle of the road, or ey sencers could nowfunction. Say you are going down the road and a little kid runs out infront of you. In a regular car in i can brerak every time, but in a driverless car if the fuse is bad or a wire is loose it may not tivate the breaking system, becuase the sencer was not working. Now imagion for me if you will that kid that ran out in the road was your own child. Young and inocennt with so much life before him/her. Would you really want a driverless car to be the one it ran out infront of?	Evidence	Adequate
6a2b7a21318e	85B74EF4E441	Now I know people do not always drive safe or pay attention eather, if we inforced the laws we already have in place to protect or children and others. We could make the streets and eventually our beautiful nation safe once more, becuase today our nation is in to big of a hurry, and we forget what it means to take it slow and enjoy life.	Evidence	Ineffective
56c064a818a5	85B74EF4E441	So i say no. We do not need driverless cars becuase it would only end badly.	Concluding Statement	Adequate
0ee58c96d464	85F71FCFED32	Even though there are many perks attributed to them, driverless cars will more than likely cause many more problems than they will solve.	Position	Adequate
f491dd01f277	85F71FCFED32	They are incapable of responding to accidents that happen to other vehicles, let alone reacting to an accident or a possible accident to themselves.	Claim	Effective
a9d3df634c23	85F71FCFED32	They can have navigation errors or may react to what could be seen as an oncoming car, but it might just be some animal or a harmless object.	Claim	Effective

87ee62ccdf53	85F71FCFED32	even with all the technology put into them, the cars still are not actually driverless.	Claim	Effective
fbdd2441e041	85F71FCFED32	A human would swerve out of the way, speed up, or slow down. When something happens, the driverless cars "alert the driver," (Driverless Cars Are Coming) so that he or she may take control. In the short amount of time that it would take for the vehicle to alert the driver and for the driver to take control, disaster could be avoided, but due to this lack of reaction time, accidents could be unavoidable. Drivers must be alerted to any accidents that don't even include the car, forcing the driver to take control and navigate his or her self.	Evidence	Adequate
af884aefac01	85F71FCFED32	Drivers must take control of their vehicles when "pulling in and out of driveways or dealing with complicated traffic issues, such as navigating through roadwork or accidents," (Driveless Cars Are Coming). Some driverless cars are not even able to drive themselves unless under very specific conditions, such as specially made roads that are designed specifically so that the car may navigate itself. Although the driverless cars are supposed to "mimic the skill of a human at the wheel," (Driverless Cars Are Coming), there are many situations, some already listed, that they are unable to do what humans do.	Evidence	Adequate
ecbab056840f	85F71FCFED32	Even if driverless cars are mass-produced, they will still have to move alongside many people with normal cars.	Claim	Effective
2760a4342335	85F71FCFED32	This could cause a variety of problems and setbacks, as human drivers may not provide the regular pattern that the driverless cars and the roads create. Human spontaneousness may interfere with the driverless cars and their sensors designed to alert the occupant of danger. This may cause a driverless car to swerve or react to some small movement of a car driven by a human, while if a human were driving, they would not have reacted, seeing as well as doing this regularly, they understand that there is no risk or danger to them.	Evidence	Adequate
ac4de12c520b	85F71FCFED32	Driverless cars will be of little entertainment interest to people. Drivers would "get bored waiting for their turn to drive," (Driverless Cars Are Coming).	Claim	Effective
456546dec6b5	85F71FCFED32	If the occupant of the car got bored, he or she might doze off or get distracted. With this distraction, they will take longer to react to the need to take control of the car, if they react at all. Drivers will get bored of driverless cars, quickly reverting back to regular cars, thus causing many companies to lose money due to how much they invested in all the technology required to create the driverless cars. Some people would even buy the vehicles in the first place due to lack of interest.	Evidence	Adequate
433c216f78c3	85F71FCFED32	Due to all the money put into the driverless cars, they are going to be very expensive and out of the ordinary worker's price range.	Claim	Effective
b266e557c25e	85F71FCFED32	With all the technology put into the discovery and creation of driverless cars, there is a going to be an extremely high cost. Sometimes the technologies required to make these vehicles are "simply too expensive to be practical," (Driverless Cars Are Coming). Very few people would be able to afford these cars, so there would be little buyers for the companies. They are using devices that at one point in time "cost two hundred million dollars," (Driverless Cars Are Coming). Companies would end up losing more money than they would gain if they invested in driverless cars.	Evidence	Effective
cf85bac5d0ba	85F71FCFED32	Although many arguments cannot be proven until they are out and on the road in regularity, driverless cars should not be created for normal use. They can cause many problems on the road. They are unsafe and unentertaining to the occupants. They may have navigation issues when faced with and accident or a work zone or some form of traffic diversion. If driverless cars are produced, they may not stay popular for any long period of time.

I have been told that you wanted to change the policy on the grade students should have to play in sports (if you have a grade C average than you wouldn't be able to play) , and that you also wanted the students views on that. Well I am a student here at SCHOOL_NAME and I know for the majority

Electives are supposed to be a privilege, not something you should base whether they play sports or not.

A human would swerve out of the way, speed up, or slow down. When something happens, the driverless cars "alert the driver," (Driverless Cars Are Coming) so that he or she may take control. In the short amount of time that it would take for the vehicle to alert the driver and for the driver to take control, disaster could be avoided, but due to this lack of reaction time, accidents could be unavoidable. Drivers must be alerted to any accidents that don't even include the car, forcing the driver to take control and navigate his or her self.

Drivers must take control of their vehicles when "pulling in and out of driveways or dealing with complicated traffic issues, such as navigating through roadwork or accidents," (Driveless Cars Are Coming). Some driverless cars are not even able to drive themselves unless under very specific conditions, such as specially made roads that are designed specifically so that the car may navigate itself. Although the driverless cars are supposed to "mimic the skill of a human at the wheel," (Driverless Cars Are Coming), there are many situations, some already listed, that they are unable to do what humans do.

This could cause a variety of problems and setbacks, as human drivers may not provide the regular pattern that the driverless cars and the roads create. Human spontaneousness may interfere with the driverless cars and their sensors designed to alert the occupant of danger. This may cause a driverless car to swerve or react to some small movement of a car driven by a human, while if a human were driving, they would not have reacted, seeing as well as doing this regularly, they understand that there is no risk or danger to them.

If the occupant of the car got bored, he or she might doze off or get distracted. With this distraction, they will take longer to react to the need to take control of the car, if they react at all. Drivers will get bored of driverless cars, quickly reverting back to regular cars, thus causing many companies to lose money due to how much they invested in all the technology required to create the driverless cars. Some people would even buy the vehicles in the first place due to lack of interest.

With all the technology put into the discovery and creation of driverless cars, there is a going to be an extremely high cost. Sometimes the technologies required to make these vehicles are "simply too expensive to be practical," (Driverless Cars Are Coming). Very few people would be able to afford these cars, so there would be little buyers for the companies. They are using devices that at one point in time "cost two hundred million dollars," (Driverless Cars Are Coming). Companies would end up losing more money than they would gain if they invested in driverless cars.

Although many arguments cannot be proven until they are out and on the road in regularity, driverless cars should not be created for normal use. They can cause many problems on the road. They are unsafe and unentertaining to the occupants. They may have navigation issues when faced with and accident or a work zone or some form of traffic diversion. If driverless cars are produced, they may not stay popular for any long period of time.

The bad side of the Electoral college is that under its system, voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who turn elect for the president. The singel best argument against the electoral college is what we might call the disaster factor. Us Americans should consider ourselves lucky that the 2000 fiasco was the biggest election crisis in a century; the system allows for much worse. Consider that the state legislatures are technically responsible for picking electors, and that those electors could always defy the will of the people.
