13ef24da7171 | A61D07193089 | And those kids with disorders might love sports or other activities, and you are keeping them away from that. Wouldn't you feel bad knowing you would be taking away something that other people love to do. | Evidence | Ineffective |
2603bad8fbdb | A61D07193089 | Also what could happen is that the people that can only get a c average could get mad or jealous at the people with a b average or better. | Claim | Adequate |
f1baa48e2397 | A61D07193089 | So that would cause a lot of problems in school. There could be more fights then usual. Or people could just stop caring about their grades if they cant get better then a c average trying their hardest. This problem could get you fired because it wouldn't be a good school. | Evidence | Adequate |
18bcfad27975 | A61D07193089 | So say some kids at your school are having a rough time at home and the only thing that makes them happy is sports. | Claim | Adequate |
a90f9ad230ee | A61D07193089 | But they only have a c average because of their home life. They wont be happy ever again if they cant do what they love. | Evidence | Adequate |
efb1f07efc36 | A61D07193089 | What happens when a kid that has a b average, gets one bad grade and goes down to a c average in the middle of the season and is the best player? | Claim | Adequate |
53f96a94411f | A61D07193089 | All I'm saying is that it wouldn't be fair to the students if you were to follow through with this policy. Too many kids love sports and have a c average. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
4a886480d42b | A6504C463F7E | Have you ever thought the "Face on Mars" might be made by something extraterstrial? | Lead | Effective |
034aef9a216f | A6504C463F7E | Well I'm here to prove to you its not.
Here are my three examples that prove that its just a mesa | Position | Adequate |
e4642740c89a | A6504C463F7E | First there are mesas on Earth and in pictures fom Mars theres a lot | Claim | Adequate |
d87a9264e206 | A6504C463F7E | Second NASA took pictures of the mesa in 2001 and used "high resolution images and 3D altimetry" to show what it really looks like, and it doesnt look like a face | Claim | Adequate |
d18b79bba530 | A6504C463F7E | Lastly it would be beneficial to NASA for them to say its aliens | Claim | Adequate |
4b230ffe4067 | A6504C463F7E | One reason why it's just a mesa is, theres lots of mesas on Earth and Mars | Claim | Adequate |
350457edbaab | A6504C463F7E | An example of this would be "It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho". This is why its not a face but just a mesa | Evidence | Adequate |
31a2f7db3c9b | A6504C463F7E | In the picture its a lot clearer then the one took in 1976. They did this by using "New high-resolution images and 3D altimetry" to clear the picture up. This is another reason why its not a alien made object but a mesa | Evidence | Adequate |
11a06a13e60f | A6504C463F7E | Lastly it would be beneficial for NASA to say that it was aliens | Claim | Ineffective |
1939b16a8e87 | A6504C463F7E | it would beneficial to them because people would be giving more money to them to try and find the aliens. this is yet another reason why it's not aliens | Evidence | Ineffective |
a14242a1ca3b | A6504C463F7E | To conclude these are the reasons why its not aliens. NASA would get more funding if they said it was aliens. They took a clearer picture of it in 2001 and it proved it wasnt a face. Lastly we have lots of mesas on Earth and someone siad theyd seen one like The Face on Mars by a river in Idaho | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
ccff65cccab5 | A67828F23302 | yes | Position | Ineffective |
20c9c8b5f626 | A67828F23302 | it is good that they the people that is causeing the damange to the cars pay for they responsibility that they have car insurance so that they can help them with there problems | Claim | Adequate |
143bee8adb5b | A67828F23302 | It is good that have navigation in there car so that they know that they will not have any problems with there destinations | Claim | Adequate |
b8464d35b573 | A67828F23302 | But it is by the law to keep all the passengers safe by them wearing seat belts just in case of any accident.
It will help if every person have on a seat or may get pulled ova by the law so it wont be no tickets going around so that mean by the person skills | Evidence | Adequate |
c2a0fc368ad0 | A67828F23302 | it would help to make sure that person thats driving is doing what they are suppose to be doing at the time that they are driving. | Claim | Adequate |
a90236fcfdf7 | A67828F23302 | GM has developed drivers seats that vibrates when the vehicle is in danger of backing into an object traffic jam assissant the car handle driving functions at the speed limit of 25 mph but special touch sensrs make sure the drivers keep hold of the wheel. the combination of all this input is necessary for the driverless car to mimic the skill of a human at the wheel.
The car read the positive and negative polarity as messages in binary code. these smart road systems worked surprisingly well, but they required massive upgrades to existing roads, something that was too expensive to be practical. | Evidence | Ineffective |
b53010650892 | A67A947BBFB7 | Politicts have been around for centuries; politics were made to keep the peace and give everyone a fair expresion to the people. We have all herd of people in political standpoint have been corrupt, but what if our own voting system was corrupt and our votes have never made a diffrence in selecting a president by the people. When we vote for our selected president is it really going to change or make a diffence on who gets elected... right? "of course it will make a diffrence." As long as your states electors dont choice by who they feel is the best fit for presidency. On another note what about the Electoral college votes. Why does one canidate always get all the electoral college votes from one state? Why cant we just revert to how many votes the canidate gets? | Lead | Effective |
f2dfe47a10a0 | A67A947BBFB7 | When getting down to the nitty-gritty bits of the Electoral College voting system it is a bit unfair in the ways it works in a whole, but that doesnt mean we have to abolish it and start over. | Position | Adequate |
6cd3c0267aca | A67A947BBFB7 | The Electoral College voting system has worked for many years | Claim | Adequate |
6041dadcf5f8 | A67A947BBFB7 | In stead of just getting rid of the Electoral voting system maybe we should tweek it in a bit that makes everyone happy and makes it completly fair. Each state picks how it gives its Electoral votes, but in most states its a "winner takes all." When a state desides its going to be a "winner takes all" state, that means when voting all the Electoral votes will go to the canidate with the most amount of elector votes. Instead of using the winner takes all system each electoral votes should be given fairly. When electors votes for its canidates by the people that single Electoral vote should go to that canidate. When doing this people are in-tern voting for there canidate. | Evidence | Adequate |
e01aa43dee9c | A67A947BBFB7 | Now that they Electoral votes are being distubuted evenly there is a smaller problem we face. Electors are the people who actully vote for our presidential canidate. Very rarely do these electors not choose the canidate based on the amount of votes they have been given, but it does happen. The electors are in a way chosen randomly but most of the time are chosen by the presidential canidate. Often these canidates do the right thing and vote based on votes gifen to him by the public | Evidence | Ineffective |
3430f645a338 | A67A947BBFB7 | When these electors vote they are not well regulated | Counterclaim | Adequate |
830a21a1abc4 | A67A947BBFB7 | What we should do is have a sort of security system that alows us the make sure our electors do the right thing | Rebuttal | Adequate |
8613ac5b3aae | A67A947BBFB7 | instead on relying on someones trust worthyness we should have a system that counts the publics votes. When the elector is done with his final vote we would then see if he voted based on public votes. | Evidence | Adequate |
71d2f088e47a | A67A947BBFB7 | We the people are faces with another way of voting. We can vote for whatever canidate we please and when done with we will see how many people voted for each canidate, and whoever has the most wins right? This system would most likely give one the canidates an unfait advantage. When Romney and Obama went head to head in 2012 obama won because the amount of Electoral votes, but if we did it by the number of votes it would have been almost completly tied in votes. since Romeny was born in the south most likely each state in the south would vote for Romney. Since Obama was born in Hawiia there is no state near Hawiia that would have the same oppinion | Evidence | Adequate |
c2c18be1739d | A67A947BBFB7 | So when using just plain votes one canidate would most likely have an unfair advantage based on the size and populating of each state going for that presidential canidate | Claim | Adequate |
0799d534b315 | A67A947BBFB7 | When suming it all up the Electoral College voting system is in a way a bit unfair, but when using the method given each Electoral vote would be given fairly instead of a winner takes all system. When going for just plain voting it would most likely turn out unfair or a lot of tied runnings. When given the facts the Electoral College is fine as it is but can be unfair and that is why we should use this method in the next following elections. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
ba47fb0b7cc3 | A67D3F549FAD | Imagine you are attending classes at home you wouldn' t take it seriously as you do at school. Kids who are home schooled don't usually focus as much as they would at school. Some kids parents or tutor would give them more advantages that aren't given at school. Such as more breaks, better food options for lunch,linear schedule, and starting and ending time being optional. If students are learning a specific lesson by a video conference they wouldnt benefit the lesson as well as being offline. | Lead | Adequate |
b2f02abf8584 | A67D3F549FAD | Students wouldn't benefit from being able to attend classes from home because they would take advantage, start on their own time, and they wouldn't understand the lesson. | Position | Adequate |
92d9d940ca1a | A67D3F549FAD | Schools shouldn't offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by video conferencing. | Claim | Adequate |
420a58b34d0b | A67D3F549FAD | I used to baby sit this little girl named Generic_Name she went to school for two years now shes in the third grade and her parents are homeschooling her. Sometimes Generic_Name goes out to eat for lunch and she wakes up later than normal elementary kids do. Learning a lesson through a video isn't very beneficial for some students because they probably need more help understanding. The teacher can explain the lesson in a different way if the student doesn't understand but if they keep watching the video it isn't going to help them.
| Evidence | Adequate |
7c661e3e3dfd | A67D3F549FAD | Although,some may believe schools should offer distance learning as an option for students because they need a numerous amount of breaks, they should be able to work on their own time, and it's the same as an online class. | Counterclaim | Adequate |
7cf3a3ac3275 | A67D3F549FAD | Distance learning is the same thing as taking online classes or taking a college class online.
| Evidence | Ineffective |
a62cc7da1964 | A67D3F549FAD | Distance learning shouldn't be an option this is important because it can affect the way kids learn and how they understand it. Students can be thinking of the lesson in a different format than how the lesson is expressed in the video conference. It was important in the past being it wasn't and option because they didn't have the technology resources that we have today. It helps in the future because instead of going to college you can take an online college class and you would already have experience from it. If you are attending classes from home then you switch your routine and go to school you are going to be more experienced with online conferencing and you are going to be wanting to do everything on your own. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
d99d89e404bc | A681057AC54F | I think that the Face they saw in 1976 was just a natural landform | Position | Adequate |
4b487b42b49b | A681057AC54F | My first reason why I think it was just a natural landform is becasue first of all I am a scientist and I'm not suppose to think aliens and that kind of stuff exist | Claim | Ineffective |
b55555fbf5c4 | A681057AC54F | Secondly, on April 5, 1998, when Mars Global Surveyor took a picture of Cydonia for the first time all they saw was just a natural landform | Claim | Adequate |
ec304f326687 | A681057AC54F | One of my other reasons why is becasue we thought it was just a Martian mesa, witch are very common in Cydonia. | Claim | Adequate |
6bef64f03fb1 | A681057AC54F | My last reason is becasue with the 3D high-resolution images from NASA's MGS it shows that it was just a mesa. | Claim | Adequate |
0ce3bec002e5 | A681057AC54F | Those were all my reasons why I think it was a natural landform not an alien | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
87c69ed3c7f6 | A6B380D5DEBB | I think that policy 1 is the best choice. I think this because that's what all students from school need cell phones. | Position | Adequate |
372fc8ac2fbc | A6B380D5DEBB | The students might need cell phones because, maybe they don't know who to go with or if their mom or dad is picking them up. | Evidence | Adequate |
6ca1e4618976 | A6B380D5DEBB | Another reason to bring cell phones to school is if something really bad happens in the school or to you and the office is trying to call your parents and our parents don't know the school office number, can call our parents. | Evidence | Adequate |
c23eacc9d5cc | A6B380D5DEBB | The most important reason for letting students bring cell phones to school is so they can get in contact with their parents.
| Claim | Adequate |
3b75e1a1a168 | A6B380D5DEBB | I also think that policy 2 is a good choice for no letting students bring cell phones to school, because if the students have their cell phones with them. the students might get distracted during class period, and not pay attention. | Counterclaim | Adequate |
5ed13f80f8dc | A6B380D5DEBB | If the principal allows students to bring cell phones to school he should led the upper grades to bring cell phones. | Rebuttal | Ineffective |
aee92573ff89 | A6B380D5DEBB | For some students it's important to bring their cell phones, to be in contact with their parents, or uncles. | Evidence | Adequate |
1422f989f3d8 | A6B380D5DEBB | Another reason to bring cell phones to school is if we out of school super early and our parents don't know that we got out early. | Evidence | Adequate |
64aa560478b8 | A6B380D5DEBB | The facts of reading this letter are so you can decide if students should bring cell phones to school. How about if you Mr. principal caught students with their cell phones during classes and if they are not paying attention you should suspend them for having their cell phones in class. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
f952c4298864 | A6B490224E67 | In 1976 Viking fly to Mars, and when they orbit/circle the mars they see a big head that look like pharoah head. | Lead | Adequate |
7ce89559bd86 | A6B490224E67 | I think that the head was form by itself when the heat from Mars rise and it burn some of the rock and form the big head. I don't think it was made by alien because if they were in Mars they would burn when the sun come or when the heat rise from Mars | Position | Ineffective |
db158591195a | A6B490224E67 | If it were made by alien then we would see their foot print or some symbol or marking that is unusual to Earth. | Evidence | Ineffective |
21dd91596a64 | A6B490224E67 | The people who was there to take this photo said it was "Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa-landforms common around the American west". | Claim | Adequate |
2c2fa2c1e6d6 | A6B490224E67 | It said that on "April 5, 1998, Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia for the first time, Michael Malin and his Mars orbiter camera (MOC) team snapped a picture 10 time sharper then the original Viking photo". "There was no alien monument after all". So, the head was created by landform and if there were alien they would have seen them or take a photo of them but there was none so it was created by landform. | Evidence | Adequate |
bc3b7188a05f | A6B490224E67 | In conclusion, the head that was on Mars was actually created by landform, not by alien because if it was created by alien then they would have seen them when they orbit the Mars and also it is not alien monument it is actually the "Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa-landforms common around the American west". | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
5b9d22922087 | A6CD1CF86FC6 | Garbage on the grass, gum on the sidewalk that's what we see on our normal routine to school. | Lead | Effective |
3ea442fb6b14 | A6CD1CF86FC6 | The school should do community service on their community | Position | Effective |
79438d81eab8 | A6CD1CF86FC6 | because It will help the environment, | Claim | Adequate |
63bdb5649336 | A6CD1CF86FC6 | it will help the student to become more responsible, | Claim | Adequate |
bcfac4daf761 | A6CD1CF86FC6 | and because it will have a good affect to the community. | Claim | Adequate |
40682e93b0b6 | A6CD1CF86FC6 | Global warming is a immense topic to the whole entire world because it's affecting everybody from City to animal life. If we take this step in the school we would be reducing the amount of garbage in the streets which might affect everybody. We will be able to see cleaner streets, the school will even have a better image than it does right now. Now the grass will last longer and so will the trees. We would see the space we might have left from all that garbage it used to occupy, and if that space is free, we could add something that could come in handy. | Evidence | Effective |
59a028804feb | A6CD1CF86FC6 | Every time, theirs a student that doesn't care and leave their garbage on the floor. If we open up this program we could make students more responsible to the school. If the students see the hard work some people take to clean the school environment they would appreciate the work they done and might not want to throw their garbage on the floor like they used to. They would see that since now its them that pick up the garbage and not other people they would be more responsible and throw it the garbage can. | Evidence | Effective |
4ce36dd1d624 | A6CD1CF86FC6 | If the program is open up the community would have a better image of itself. The trees and the grass would look healthier, the school would even have a better image too. Graffiti that used to cover up some buildings walls, would now look even better. | Evidence | Effective |
7442f9fd2110 | A6D70DC96AB3 | The Electoral College does infact work for most states in USA minus Nebraska and maine. The santor should keep the Electoral College to keep the presidents and vice presidents intact | Position | Adequate |
fecaa5d6081c | A6D70DC96AB3 | Without it we the people wont focus at the process of the Electoral College and will become history of dissapointment. | Claim | Adequate |
9d34d34975b1 | A6D70DC96AB3 | The Electoral College consists more then 538 electors wich keeps this place together, without them what else would they do to help the country? More then 270 electoral vote helps people pick wich president would be best for this country. If we didn't have the Electoral College we would likely have bad presidents that would use they're power to have "fun" with this country for they're enjoyment. | Evidence | Adequate |
a069757ea7d3 | A6D70DC96AB3 | So some people may hate the process, but its because of winner-takes-all system. | Counterclaim | Adequate |
3769f9958b19 | A6D70DC96AB3 | Some people will see a campaign ad and think that person should or should not win the election, and have a good argument about that person, but at the same time they trust that person.
| Evidence | Ineffective |
44a3c4488681 | A6D70DC96AB3 | sometimes the votes that voters vote for may not or may not go to the person that voted for | Counterclaim | Adequate |
cdf4c39e145d | A6D70DC96AB3 | but that isnt a big issue bigeest out of all the people in the USA the vote that they did made a person feel happy about themselves because it shows that some amount of people care. | Rebuttal | Ineffective |
694fb9ca2a70 | A70FB3B842D7 | Have you ever wondered if the famous face on mar's is just there naturally or was it put there by aliens well it was actually just there naturally. Scientist's have proven that this famous face from magazines and once starred in a hollywood film is just a natural landform in a region of mar's called Cydonia. | Lead | Adequate |
9d2dbd607865 | A70FB3B842D7 | This face is just a natural landform | Position | Adequate |
d017ca543df5 | A70FB3B842D7 | and how we know its a natural landform is because the article states, " It's just a huge rock fromation, Formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth". It's not an alien monument It's just a natural landform on mar's. | Evidence | Adequate |
59c77ce3ee46 | A70FB3B842D7 | So that is why this iconic face of the 1970's and 80's is just part of the planet mar's itself and wasn't put there by another living speicies on mar's like aliens It's just some shadow's that come together a little bit to give the illusion of eye's, a nose, and a mouth in the region of Cydonia. This face was also discovered in the late 1970's specifically 1976. | Concluding Statement | Ineffective |
dc4791dbba1d | A723DDC8ABF0 | Community Service has always been a debated issue between students. Some find community service an enjoyable experience while others think that community service takes up too much of their free time. I agree with community service being an enjoyable experience. It is a relief to know you can make someone else's life easier and it's an exciting feeling to know that all the hard work you put forth will be appreciated. However, some students find community service boring and something will take up too much of their free time. I do have some suggestions of how we can fix this problem, | Lead | Effective |
72f5e9e38680 | A723DDC8ABF0 | but I believe that community service will be a value to our education and should be required by your school | Position | Effective |
295031767ac0 | A723DDC8ABF0 | Community Service is basically helping others in a way where you accept nothing in return. Some activities that are community service include picking litter up around your neighborhood, visiting the elderly, helping a teacher, etc. It's the little things we can do. | Evidence | Adequate |
a3bee95853c3 | A723DDC8ABF0 | Community service will be beneficial to our school because it will help the students learn self value. | Claim | Adequate |
7691f49b4b96 | A723DDC8ABF0 | The reason for this is because the student may learn that just by helping someone that it can mean a whole lot to that one person; which may or may not lead them to realising the important things in life and the things they value. | Evidence | Adequate |
80d99ab7a760 | A723DDC8ABF0 | The student might find community service as 'fun' if we advertise the activities in a way that will make them think of enjoyable and not hard work or boring. | Claim | Adequate |
35565d4dd079 | A723DDC8ABF0 | Then there is the issue of students believing that community service takes too much of their free time. | Counterclaim | Adequate |
f29f0ac52246 | A723DDC8ABF0 | I feel for this we need to have a limitation for the amount of hours required | Rebuttal | Adequate |
521d53eeb742 | A723DDC8ABF0 | In consideration to my previous statement, if we make the activities seem more like a hobby instead of a chore then students will be more willing to join in. Then, maybe, this will cause a domino effect where one student will tell their friends how exciting community service is and this will lead more children to participate. For Ex: When a group of students are going to clean the litter in their neighborhood, they could make this into a sport. Where the kids grab the trash, like bottles or paper, and they throw it into the garbage bag or recycling bin as if they were playing basketball. | Evidence | Effective |
9db627f84b90 | A723DDC8ABF0 | Most students find community service important because there are many advantages to it. | Claim | Adequate |
f3faf4df8b91 | A723DDC8ABF0 | Like if students help tutor kids; this will be beneficial to those kids who can't afford it or really need it. Then there's helping a teacher out, even if its just sorting her books or organizing her papers; this will make their lives easier and that specific person may start to gain a friendship with the teacher. The reason for that is you will see that teacher for quite some time and the two of you may speak to each other and carry out conversations with one other. Students can also visit the elderly which can be an amazing experience; the kid can teach that elderly person a few things and they might share their experiences, knowledge, and tips. This can lead to a friendship where both parties enjoy each other's company. | Evidence | Effective |
040341c9a6ba | A723DDC8ABF0 | For such reasons I believe community service is something that should be cherished | Concluding Statement | Ineffective |
2ca664b26cfd | A7642F5617E0 | I understand that some people in this world do not care about our community at all, but it is very important to at least try to change it | Lead | Effective |
442055961cc7 | A7642F5617E0 | Requiring students to do community service will make keep our community a clean and safe environment. | Claim | Effective |
f96952487652 | A7642F5617E0 | Therefore, I believe that community service should be required for students at school not everyday, but at least maybe twice a week. | Position | Effective |
ef7ae807c71b | A7642F5617E0 | By doing this, you and everyone else who participates in this should be rewarded, but at the same time take responsibility to keep on making this place better for everybody. | Claim | Effective |
2a022db8ce67 | A7642F5617E0 | Some students may help with tutoring other students who needs help with schoolwork or something along the lines of that. Other people go around picking trash up of the ground and putting it where it belongs and trying their best to keep our environment clean. | Evidence | Effective |
2f8fdcdae002 | A7642F5617E0 | Today, we still have people going around throwing trash on the grounds. I myself, have experienced people putting trash on the grounds and leaving it there. It hurts me because everyday I look at how much work people put into making schools, office buildings, restaurants, and etc. | Evidence | Effective |
