cb48bea2f550 | 91B1F82B2CF1 | This is another skill that is very frequently learned in public schools due to the amount of students and how different they are, it is also something that online school curriculum lacks because it is a commonly practiced behavior. | Claim | Adequate |
b4d1026aaf79 | 91B1F82B2CF1 | Often times, people who are homeschooled lack social skills, not all but as a generalization. | Claim | Adequate |
d17d9c6e0abf | 91B1F82B2CF1 | Many public schools offer organizations and clubs such as DECCA or FCCLA for students to learn business, public speaking and organizational skills. | Evidence | Adequate |
989400cf7054 | 91B1F82B2CF1 | It is true that online students most likely would be able to join these programs | Counterclaim | Adequate |
038cfbf972a9 | 91B1F82B2CF1 | but it would be more difficult for them as the programs are based on school activities and organized around the school schedule. | Rebuttal | Adequate |
e46b3a1c078e | 91B1F82B2CF1 | People who attend online school may feel like outsiders in these groups of students of which all go to the same public school. To add to the social skills provided by public schools, students even attain social skills just by showing up and interacting with their peers, teachers, and administrators. Students who are schooled online may not know what type of relationship or the nature of interactions they should have with future employers or coworkers because that is something that puclic school students practice every day without thought, therefore it is not in the curriculum for the online students to learn | Evidence | Effective |
65665fa1cb3c | 91B1F82B2CF1 | Branching off of social skills, online school students may not know how to interact with those who are different than them due to only being exposed to their family and neighbors on a daily basis. | Claim | Effective |
b5fc91b0e049 | 91B1F82B2CF1 | Public school students encounter people of many different races, religions, sexualities, ableness, and neuro activity. Because of this, these students have no problem facing the real world with all the people who are nothing like them. Online students may experience a type of culture shock when they go to college or enter the workforce and meet a person who is a different race than them, someone with a disibility, a person on the autism spectrum, or even a person who practices a different religion than they do. This is a sensation unknown to most public school students because of how they are exposed to many different and diverse groups of people at a young age. This type of culture shock could cause problems for these online students in our increasingly open-minded and progressive world. | Evidence | Effective |
6d4addff5c19 | 91B1F82B2CF1 | One of the apparent reasons that students attend online school is to escape bullying | Counterclaim | Adequate |
9f826949f0c5 | 91B1F82B2CF1 | Statistically, bullying has reduced significantly in the past 30 years, yet these are the years when online school was introduced. No one can justify targeted and repetative bullying, however, light teasing can actually create thicker skin and teach students how to cope with people being rude to them and how to handle constructive or not so constructive critisism which are heavily prevailant in the real world | Evidence | Ineffective |
f6b45f782663 | 91B1F82B2CF1 | Consequently, the new technology that made online school an option also created a new type of bullying, cyberbullying. Even attending school online cannot prevent one from being cyberbullied as it is through the very technology the use for their education. | Rebuttal | Effective |
c94b9ae6c2ee | 91B1F82B2CF1 | In public schools students can learn how to deal with bullies and how to react when people are less than nice to them but online school students may not know how to handle cyberbullying and become unstable. This contradicts the argument that online school is better than public schools for the mental health of students. Many public schools now have zero tolerance bullying policies and have student clubs and organizations that conduct in-school activities to counteract bullying and provide safe spaces for students.
| Evidence | Effective |
e023de8ac51b | 91B1F82B2CF1 | Ultimately, there are benefits and disadvantages to both online and public school and all students are different so it is up to parents and students to communicate and find what is the right choice for them. The question I believe should be posed when deciding between an online school and a public school is, how are people supposed to adapt and learn from the world if they are sheltered from the very world they are meant to grow with? The answer is very simple, they cannot. | Concluding Statement | Effective |
2283b69feb1c | 91E61EF42E33 | I disagree with your idea to require students to participate in community services. In my opinion we should have a choice in those sorts of things. Not only that but, what about homework, family, and other school or home related activities? | Position | Effective |
2516f6a44626 | 91E61EF42E33 | There are some up sides to that idea and i understand that it would help the environment and make the neighborhood look a lot better. | Counterclaim | Effective |
57d527eae0bb | 91E61EF42E33 | But, what about what the children want? | Rebuttal | Adequate |
682ebcc76f6c | 91E61EF42E33 | I'm positive that there are some students that may want to do that and that is great. Let those individuals choose what they would like to do. | Claim | Effective |
052108191cc2 | 91E61EF42E33 | For example, someone might need some extra credit and they could do the community service to earn that. Another idea is to make that an extra activity like sports or band. | Evidence | Adequate |
fad457b25448 | 91E61EF42E33 | When would the students have time for the community service? Would it be during or after school? In my point of view either way would be interfering with either grades or home. | Claim | Effective |
3e692258883f | 91E61EF42E33 | it would be best to allow the students themselves choose what they want to do. | Claim | Adequate |
6d7af3bc19ed | 91E61EF42E33 | Then there will have to be parents involved too. | Claim | Adequate |
3b5425442aac | 91E61EF42E33 | You would need their permission for their kids to do community service. | Evidence | Adequate |
2c4cbbdf7920 | 91E61EF42E33 | How about you hold a vote? Then you can see some willing participants. You could also send home a question form for the parents to find out their point of view. Either way you may end up with a few people that will agree with you. | Claim | Adequate |
5fc68a4d4664 | 91E61EF42E33 | whatever you do is up to you | Concluding Statement | Ineffective |
93d5c8574e51 | 91EDDCB68A9E | The Electoral collage is a process , not a place. The founding fathers established it in the constitution as comprimise between election of the president by a popular vote of qualified citizens | Lead | Adequate |
1f89c02999f1 | 91EDDCB68A9E | The thing is the president shouldnt be picked on his personality or his or hers past, they should be judged by the changes they can make and how they can make it better for the people on the out side world. they shouldnt be voted by the fancy no good stuck ups in the office 24/7 bc half the time they dont know good, i mean look at the president we have now. | Position | Adequate |
e0271fac6a1b | 91EDDCB68A9E | The process consists of the section of the electors, which they vote president or vice president. under the Electoral collage system voters vote not for president but for a state of elections | Evidence | Adequate |
264e8a69b0b3 | 91EDDCB68A9E | They shouldnt have to vote like that , why have the office men and women vote president? When u could have the citizens of state do it. The office men and women dont know what the citizens want or need. | Claim | Adequate |
67566292a927 | 91EDDCB68A9E | There just there to get money and sit on there butts 24/7 and do nothing but make poor decisions as a reference to our president. | Evidence | Ineffective |
2d830e10f65f | 91EDDCB68A9E | The most worrying is the prospect of a tie in the electoral vote. Then in that case the election would be thrown to The House of Representatives , where state delegations vote on the president. There shouldnt be a tie and having to be thrown in to The House of Represntatives | Evidence | Ineffective |
a7ca71520634 | 91EDDCB68A9E | The president shouldnt be selected by valets and posters. they should be picked based apone what there capable of and how they can change the owrld and make it a better and safer place | Claim | Ineffective |
400eb0244c7f | 91EDDCB68A9E | The president we have now didnt come with its benifites. | Evidence | Ineffective |
ac2cbf0d540d | 91EDDCB68A9E | At all basic levels the Electoral collage is unfair to voters. Because of the winner-takes-all system in each states, candidates dont spend time in each state they know they have no changes of winning or losing , so they focus only on the tight races. | Evidence | Adequate |
e016968a1e80 | 91F40B0CFCC3 | As a student of your school i think that community service should be mandatory for all students. | Position | Adequate |
c4f1d55abd8d | 91F40B0CFCC3 | If we have community service it will make our community a nicer place to be with happier people. | Claim | Effective |
13a0dcae56d9 | 91F40B0CFCC3 | Also it will make it cleaner and not filled with garbage. | Claim | Adequate |
707e4a3adadb | 91F40B0CFCC3 | Lastly it will help out our environment. this town needs it. | Claim | Effective |
c732ce5999f2 | 91F40B0CFCC3 | For an hour we could do things like clean up garbage. We could do things for the people and help our senior citizens, help the children of working parents, or even help people who are having dangerous though and who are unhappy. Also we could build something, maybe help build a park or even a new building. If any of these things were done it would benefit the community tremendously | Evidence | Effective |
0babcdd12695 | 91F40B0CFCC3 | There is garbage on the sides of highways and streets that have been sitting there forever. We could clean up parks and make them safer for children to play on. Also we could wash graffiti off of buildings by paint over them or scrubbing it off. This will only take one hour a week and will be something fun that all of the middle school kids can do together with their friends. Also it will make all the fun places around town safer for everyone. | Evidence | Effective |
da5debd99b7b | 91F40B0CFCC3 | There are things that animals will die if they eat, like gum for instance they will choke on it and die. Also many birds die each year from those rings that hold soda and beer cans, they usually wrap around there necks and kill the animals. Lastly if we put the garbage in bins the animals may not come into neighbor hoods and then will avoid being hit by cars. Just one hour of our time can save the lives of many animals. | Evidence | Effective |
3e94db671897 | 91F40B0CFCC3 | we need to have community service here in our town. If we have community service it will benefit the community and its citizens. Secondly it will make the town a cleaner place to live with less garbage and debris. Lastly it will help our environment and hopefully save the lives of many animals and plants. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |

a09b288157ab | 9244152BE347 | To start off , due to the passage ''Electoral college'' is a process in which the founding fathers established in the constitution as a compromise election of the president by congress and qualified citizens! NOT the leaders | Claim | Adequate |
1f2dcb145e7d | 9244152BE347 | If your want to run for president your main goal is to get people to follow you with impression and facts | Evidence | Adequate |
051bae90b959 | 9244152BE347 | Each presidential election occurs every four years. Candidates enter in election competing against each other,'' the people'' watch if the candidate will be worth a president. Candidates will be eliminated one after another till there is only one winner. | Evidence | Ineffective |
0f8610ea92f7 | 9244152BE347 | Without the electoral college how would the people know if the president is trustworthy to the country | Claim | Adequate |
11a5f9a07b6a | 9244152BE347 | mainly people just want someone who is willing to make the right changes. Like i said the leader's main goal is to get people to agree and make them think that you are worth for the job. No one will appreciate someone making the laws without people agreeing the people would be furious and the word freedom wouldnt exsist anymore in the country. Freedom is all about peoples rights | Evidence | Adequate |
4bfee4fd0cad | 9244152BE347 | Electoral college is a main process that is need to be able to make freedom for the citizens. | Concluding Statement | Ineffective |
b47eb275a24b | 9247667DBA49 | I remeber My sixteenth birthday I woke up bright and early and went stright to the BMV. I was about to get the best gift that could be given to a teenager a gift of freedom,trust,and responsbility I was going to get my lisence. I was so excited to begin driveing I loved it driverless cars would take the joy of driving away. | Lead | Effective |
1f192c08fa1f | 9247667DBA49 | I dont think we should continue to spend a bunch of money devolping driverless cars. | Position | Adequate |
978f7b3dba2e | 9247667DBA49 | There will always be need for human alertness in the vehicle. | Claim | Effective |
264dba01c92f | 9247667DBA49 | What happens when there is a crash who is responsble the manufacture or owner of the smart car. | Claim | Effective |
2045ce07af17 | 9247667DBA49 | With driverless cars there would no longer be any excitment of getting your lisence.

3d2ecd01e23c | 9247667DBA49 | On googles driverless car there radar system for one car cost two hundred million dollers. Who realisticly has two hundred million dollers to spend on a prius. With cost like that these cars are mor of a televison fantisy than a practicality. | Evidence | Adequate |

44854e50a5e4 | 9247667DBA49 | Actually driveless cars still and will always require human assitance. | Rebuttal | Effective |
6de8104c7c9b | 9247667DBA49 | " all driverless cars are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills, such as navagating through work zones and around accidents. This means the human driver must remain alert and be ready to take over when the situation requires" | Evidence | Adequate |
0a187f290cf7 | 9247667DBA49 | These driverless cars arnt really driverless the will always require human alertness and asitance while in the vihicle. | Claim | Effective |
3829cc9856d8 | 9247667DBA49 | What will happen if you are in a smart car and there is a crash. | Claim | Effective |
3287708b133d | 9247667DBA49 | All it would take to breack my computer at home is to spill some grape soda on it. What will happen if the technolgy fails and you hit a pedestrian or anothier car. Who would be responsible for an accident the owner of the car or the manufacturer. "new laws will be needed in order to cover lialbility in the case of an accident". " Driving laws focus on keeping drivers, pasengers, and pedestrians safe, and lawmakers know that saftey is best achieved with an alert driver". | Evidence | Adequate |
a1b22706ab3d | 9247667DBA49 | The devolpment of driverless cars is a waste of our time and money.

08d3a0797167 | 924D8175D100 | Many adults are suspicious of students if they call in stick. This suspicion is not unfounded either, many high school students feign sickness to get out of tests or to escape an impending due date. But for some students, feigning an illness is not an option. For these high achieving students, being sick could mean a week of catching up on missed material, even if only one day of class is missed. | Lead | Effective |
60edc4099754 | 924D8175D100 | Although some students may try to take advantage of a long distance learning system, it can greatly reduce the stress of missing class and keep students from falling behind.
| Position | Effective |
7a474faaee70 | 924D8175D100 | Implementing a long distance learning approach would reduce the stress of missing class commonly felt by high achieving students. | Claim | Effective |
abafcade9b80 | 924D8175D100 | High school schedules can be so packed with classes, missing only one day can lead to a week or more of trying to catch up on tests, assignments, and notes. These students, to avoid missing class, often downplay illnesses that otherwise would have kept them at home. A long distance learning approach would allow students who are sick to stay at home while still learning, participating in class, and getting any important dates or other information that may have been mentioned in the class. This will reduce the time the student must spend catching up and encourage the student to stay at home when they are sick. This, in turn, will keep diseases like the flu from spreading rapidly through the school system as fewer students come to class sick. If the lessons are recorded, a student missing school for an event can catch up on classes at times teachers are usually unavailable. Many students choose not to attend academic competitions, extracurricular activities, and other important events during the school day because of the fear of missing class. Recording lectures encourages these students to pursue academic enrichment outside of the classroom as they do not have to worry as much about catching up on classes. They can play back these recordings during times when teachers are not commonly available which decreases the time it takes students to catch up on missed work, thus reducing the stress of missing class. | Evidence | Effective |
0ff7f5a472f0 | 924D8175D100 | Adding a long distance learning system to the classroom would also prevent chronically ill students who cannot attend classes regularly from falling behind. | Claim | Effective |
88c0f791d5f2 | 924D8175D100 | Many students with illnesses such as Lyme disease are forced to skip class due to their illness. If too many days are missed, the student can fall behind in class and many be forced to repeat a class or an entire year. This causes an unneeded burden on the student, the family, and the school system. The aforesaid parties would greatly benefit from a remote learning system as the chronically ill student would be able to keep pace with the class from home. This reduces the probability that the student fails the class and is forced to repeat it. By making lectures available online, these students, and all students for that matter, would be given the chance to earn a higher grade as working outside of the class is more efficient. Students who want to study for an exam can go back through old lectures to ensure that they know all of the important information presented in class. This would result in higher grades, fewer failing students, and a better chance of success in college and later in life. | Evidence | Effective |
b2d3fd372e46 | 924D8175D100 | Implementing a remote learning system may encourage some students to skip class for no reason. | Counterclaim | Effective |
d119323eec2f | 924D8175D100 | On the surface, more students skipping class seems undesirable, but a remote learning system will allow these students, who may have skipped class anyway, to keep up with the class. Students who were absent from class could be required to check the video recording for the classes they missed which would ensure that all students know what happened in class. | Evidence | Adequate |
f71baf2e35b1 | 924D8175D100 | Even if more students skip class, implementing this system would ensure that all students know what happened in class whether they were present or not and will minimize the likelihood of a student falling behind. | Rebuttal | Adequate |
4ddd70547c05 | 924D8175D100 | High school can be a time of great stress on students. The level of performance mandated by some classes requires students spend more time and effort than ever before to maintain academic performance. Given that, it is important that all students are supported at this stage in their life. A bad or stressful experience in high school can discourage students from pursuing college or other challenging achievements. Implementing a long distance learning system at the high school level would give students the support they need to make the best of their high school experience and continue learning throughout their life. | Concluding Statement | Effective |
239fc7b53918 | 924FE77F61C9 | Every four years a new president is elected to run the United states of America. Which is caried out by a process called Electoral College Process. It is a meeting of various electors,in where they vote for President and Vice President. | Lead | Ineffective |
199a407f1642 | 924FE77F61C9 | I firmly believe that this process should be abolished, and the President and Vice President should be chosen by popular votes. | Position | Adequate |
b5cbfa3ad26f | 924FE77F61C9 | For starters, the leader of the free world should be choosen directly by the American citizens | Claim | Adequate |
647368d986e8 | 924FE77F61C9 | It must bruise like a birthday punch to know those who waited in lenghty lines for hours upon end, didn't obtain the President they bargined for because of electoral votes rather than popular. It is stated that "over 60 percent of voters would prefer a direct election to the kind we have now"
Source 2 Paragraph 9.
More than half of America's citizens would prefer direct election. So why aren't the officials giving America what they want? Possiblity to hold us captive in the "free world". | Evidence | Adequate |
ba35c551d105 | 924FE77F61C9 | Another reason why the Electoral College process should be abolished, is the fact that we the people have to trust a complete stranger. | Claim | Adequate |
62ca295254ed | 924FE77F61C9 | Trusting a complete stranger with hands of your future is a difficult task to do. Seeing that most people in possession of power got there using propaganda. Posner believes that "each party selcts a sdlate of electors trusted to vote for the party's nominee (and that trust is rarely betrayed)..."
Source 3 Paragraph 16 . How is he completly sure about this? Hitler decieved his people and promised them "better days", and we all know how that went. The Elctoral College process is just not trustworthy. | Evidence | Adequate |
ae0f342c7b3f | 924FE77F61C9 | All in all the Electoral College should be abolished and replaced with direct elections. This gives citizens more control over who they elect (which is supposed to happen in a Democracy). The people now freedom of choice, and the majority would be happy with the new leader of the free world. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |

fff77876f11a | 9288FF19115E | Community Service is like helping someone stay out of trouble. Keep you busy at all times and doing the right things. It Keep you from doing the wrong thing at the wrong time. Community Service is like a job, but you not getting paid out of it. Most of time some people can do community service by doing the right thing or they can do something with they life by doing community service.
Community Service is a activity , and i think we should do Community Service. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |

d568a1e0e3d9 | 92B43D8267C7 | they would only do simple tasks. such as, steer, accelerate, and brake. humans can do all of that, and more, just fine. the cars "heads up display" can work miracles. yet, if the driver isnt paying any attention to them, then the whole thought goes down the drain. | Evidence | Adequate |
