404a080944df | C70EE5903373 | For example, Mitt Romney won pretty much the whole south region back in 2012 but did not become President because he did not gather enough Electoral Votes. Barack Obama had a more widspread tally of votes. But he counter to that he did win California which gave him 55 extra votes. | Evidence | Effective |
ba11aa6ba7c2 | C70EE5903373 | Secondly, the Electoral College is on the brink of a amjor catastrophe and must be changed before it happens. | Claim | Adequate |
9ebcbcbd00a4 | C70EE5903373 | In paragrah 12, you see that just 5,559 votes that voted the opposite canidate would have made it a tie. That would be chaos. Because then the Electors of the Electoral College can then basically choose whoever they for President and not by what the people want. | Evidence | Adequate |
e053a3bc5f4c | C70EE5903373 | In conclusion, we should abolish the Electoral College in order to encourage more people to vote and to stop a catastrophe that is bound to happen soon. Acorrding to a Gallup poll done in 2000, over 60% over the American people would rather have a popular vote. This just prooves that the Electoral College is unfair, outdated, and irrational.
| Concluding Statement | Effective |
ebf4372ef8c4 | C75B9C4FFEAD | Home school is a benefit that anybody could have. | Position | Adequate |
4467c93be748 | C75B9C4FFEAD | Taking school at home would be better if you ask me, but it is not for everybody though. | Evidence | Adequate |
a704a87482b6 | C75B9C4FFEAD | Being home schooled is better then regular school because you got all day to do your work. | Claim | Adequate |
a67207cfd529 | C75B9C4FFEAD | Some people don't work as fast as others and need to work at a different pace. If you're home schooled you can watch TV and relax while doing your work at the same time, if you can multi-task. | Evidence | Adequate |
1f555a684de1 | C75B9C4FFEAD | But Sometimes it could be a distraction from you doing all your work. | Counterclaim | Ineffective |
fcfc05693a7b | C75B9C4FFEAD | For an example, If you do home school you dont have to worry bout waking up early in the morning. | Claim | Adequate |
b7b7b100fd69 | C75B9C4FFEAD | People like me are not a morning person. Also if you missed the bus to school and got no transportation you're gonna be stuck at home. School could be on the other side of town and walking would take too long. | Evidence | Adequate |
3aa3cab9a284 | C75B9C4FFEAD | Attending classes online would give you the benefit of getting through school faster. | Claim | Adequate |
413314d4b821 | C75B9C4FFEAD | Doing home school will help you graduate 2x faster then usual if you doing all your work right. My brother was home schooled for 2 years and graduated at six-teen. Another thing is you can look up answers online to your work. | Evidence | Adequate |
9d2e088d796a | C75B9C4FFEAD | When you get home schooled you dont have to worry about teachers telling you what to do, but until you get that video call on your laptop. | Claim | Ineffective |
b7318fdd3b00 | C75B9C4FFEAD | You can pull out your phone and talk without somebody saying " Put your phone up and stop talking". But sometimes your teacher that assigns your work will have a group conference call with you and a few other people in the online classes you got. | Evidence | Ineffective |
de12d8efc427 | C75B9C4FFEAD | Home school is better there's some downfalls for it. If you dont study and just look up everything online. Also you aint gonna have no friends to talk to nd joke around with while you doin your work. If your attention spand short home school is not for you. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
b5ff4cfb4a4c | C77B4F63E4B4 | I belive that Electoral college is unfair in many ways, and maybe it would be good to keep the election by popular vote for the United States | Position | Adequate |
ca9cec0e39e6 | C77B4F63E4B4 | The reasons why changing the election to Electoral college would be; smaller states would not see the candates because they would go to the bigger states like California, Texas and other states that are bigger then ohio or south carolina | Claim | Adequate |
9f42d232abde | C77B4F63E4B4 | some of this states didn't even see a campaing ad how sad is that because this country is know for the equalness off every one but yet the electoral college forgets about seventeen states that are small because their vote doesn't matter.?
| Evidence | Ineffective |
3cfbc6037f77 | C77B4F63E4B4 | Keeping the election by popular vote would be the best. | Claim | Adequate |
75900a40e230 | C77B4F63E4B4 | The fact that the people of the United States are able to see and vote for whom they perfer not the electors who elect the president. | Evidence | Adequate |
78d3d3a527a7 | C77B4F63E4B4 | You might think that keeping the electoral college election is not as bad or unfair because it can help elect a president when the one of the presidents vote are majotite of vote it can help a run off election | Counterclaim | Adequate |
fc077f1cc009 | C77B4F63E4B4 | but I beive the best way to select the president of the U.S would be by letting the people chosse what they think is the best so the people know they are noticed in this contry. | Rebuttal | Adequate |
dfd84eaa9f94 | C7A8E7FB21EE | I most likely disagree that the students and I must maintain a B or higher average to participate in gym and other activities. | Position | Adequate |
a25ad8e8f0bd | C7A8E7FB21EE | not all students are as smart as others. The students that have a C average or lower, should have a study period or a tutoring session. | Claim | Adequate |
8fc1cba58ddd | C7A8E7FB21EE | I think this because, some kids need a little extra help or push to help them understand the material that they are learning in class. Especially, if the students have the tutoring session, maybe the kids will comprehend and understand more. Which, if the students comprehend more, then they will have the privilege to participate in gym or in other activities.
Also, if the student maintains a C or lower average, and they're in a tutoring session, I don't think it's fair that they're not allowed to participate in gym or other activities. In this case, I think the school should open up an after school program for gym or activities. | Evidence | Adequate |
abcc3fae89ef | C7A8E7FB21EE | I do not think it is fair that students have to maintain a B or higher average to participate in gym or in other activities. | Concluding Statement | Ineffective |
9e006f21bb0c | C7C9C01597EA | I am against this because I belive it would create many arguments and I belive we are not ready for this yet. | Position | Ineffective |
4e94cb25239e | C7C9C01597EA | I think they would get in more wrecks and malfunction. | Claim | Adequate |
63504799f366 | C7C9C01597EA | As told in the passage that the cas still need assistence for navigating through work zones and around accidents. I belive that the car would have many problems and cost alot of money. I feel that these cars would not work as well and not do the proper functions and still need to be tested before put out on the market for people to buy. As told in the passage gas prices may drop but the cars that are being made are gonna cost more, so are we really getting a better deal here? | Evidence | Adequate |
1cc5235f0979 | C7C9C01597EA | I think the reason society is trying to do this so bad is because of people influencing them | Claim | Adequate |
eaeeb4c9b029 | C7C9C01597EA | I don't think we are advanced enough yet where we can take on something this big. I belive we are not ready to take this big of a leap from comeplete control to a car driving all on its own. I think they should start by selling cars that they know people can trust and they can even start small and work they're way up to cars driving all on there own, but for now I don't think that we are advanced enough for them. | Evidence | Adequate |
e2c1400d7650 | C7C9C01597EA | I do not think humans will have very much control over the car and if it ever malfunctioned and a human needed to steer and it never says it needs assistence then what? | Claim | Adequate |
38c37a83e433 | C7C9C01597EA | I belive that these cars will wreck and not work as well as well as they think and its a waste of time and money. In the far future when they have tested them alot more and know they are safe for people to drive in, then I belive it is more appropriate.
| Evidence | Adequate |
69737c9b86f8 | C7C9C01597EA | These cars are going to create alot of contraversy between people and the manufacture. | Claim | Adequate |
5ec804b25dbd | C7C9C01597EA | People will being trying to sue for malfunctioning cars and hurting them for not working correctly and wrecking. If one car with three people in it malfunctioned and they got hurt wouldn't you try to sue them for giving you a malfunctioning car? | Evidence | Adequate |
481fdb00fec9 | C7C9C01597EA | I belive these cars are a bad idea and will not make society better or more advanced. I think that we should start slow and not plan ahead of ourselves. I disagree with these cars until we have tested them more and I hope that my point of view helped you understand why I disagree and how I feel. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
79c11ce4d7c4 | C802F00716E0 | I think community service is a very good and helpful thing for the community, but I do not think students should be required to do community service. | Position | Effective |
0670b4caad92 | C802F00716E0 | It may help the community if students were required to do community service | Counterclaim | Adequate |
e10ee0999552 | C802F00716E0 | but many students choose to do community service voluntarily anyway. | Rebuttal | Adequate |
0f0415886f50 | C802F00716E0 | When students do community service voluntarily they usually feel proud of themselves after they are done | Claim | Effective |
4ea0ab8e565d | C802F00716E0 | They know they have helped the community and this gives them a sense of accomplishment. If community service was required in school, students that did community service by choice anyway will not feel accomplished after doing community service if they had to do it. This takes away the feeling of accomplishment, and discourages students that used to do community service to do community service by choice anymore. Then all students will probably only do the bare minimum and it will not be helping the community since barely any people will do community service. | Evidence | Effective |
cf4c557d4136 | C802F00716E0 | On the other hand, the students who thought community service was a waste of time, are probably students who do not do their homework from school anyway, so they will probably not even do the community service if it is required | Claim | Effective |
35a1ae0e2bb6 | C802F00716E0 | So by adding community service as a requirement to school, it is not really helping the community, because just a few more people will be doing community service, and most of the people doing the service will not feel any sense of accomplishment. Also, the people who used to do community service will probably lessen their amounts of community service because it will not make them feel proud, so they would feel they are just doing extra for no reason. | Evidence | Effective |
8ab1aad60dba | C802F00716E0 | Community service is a very good thing to do, but I really feel that making it a school requirement will decrease the amounts of community service that is being done by students. As I stated before, requiring community service in schools will make community service stop being an activity that students enjoy, and so they will stop liking to do community service; which will have a bad effect on themselves and the community.
| Concluding Statement | Effective |
72fd2d2ee050 | C81BC69CEE2B | Although many people think that the "Face on Mars" was created by aliens, I believe that it's just a landform. | Position | Adequate |
316fd735123f | C81BC69CEE2B | Before spotting this landform, NASA had no further information on alien's on Mars | Claim | Adequate |
e6d39810a1fa | C81BC69CEE2B | Also, the camera that the team used was at its' maximum resolution, meaning that they wouldn't miss a thing. | Claim | Adequate |
eacd9925b735 | C81BC69CEE2B | Lastly, the team could enlarge the picture three times bigger, so they could see things located on the ground. | Claim | Adequate |
fe51d2738e06 | C81BC69CEE2B | Before the team at NASA spotted the "Face on Mars" they hadn't heard anything about there being a possibility of aliens on Mars. | Claim | Adequate |
072d641a6640 | C81BC69CEE2B | Therefore, I think It's highly doubtful that this could happen.
| Evidence | Ineffective |
4030392ec7ae | C81BC69CEE2B | Although the first look that the team took was a little hazy, they went back with a higher quality camera, which they set at the maximum resolution. | Claim | Adequate |
3e71b75881b3 | C81BC69CEE2B | With this camera it would be very unlikely for them to missunderstand an alien creation as a landform. | Evidence | Adequate |
8281755840ab | C81BC69CEE2B | Lastly, on top of having a high quality camera, the team could enlarge the picture up to three times bigger. | Claim | Adequate |
860e19e28144 | C81BC69CEE2B | This helped them so much that it allowed them to see things as close as the ground. After this, it was positive they couldn't miss a thing. | Evidence | Adequate |
ccbd6bb51d9c | C81BC69CEE2B | Considering that before the NASA team spotted the "Face on Mars" there was no further evidence of aliens living on Mars. Plus, with the extremly high quality camera that the team used, and the enlarging of the picture I believe that this is an extrodinary landform, alothough some prefer to assume differently. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
51b92eeff24d | C83EB6623D24 | it would be very beneficial for our school to participate in community service | Position | Effective |
7a0af5d10b46 | C83EB6623D24 | I see a community were there is no trash in the roads or fields, there are kids helping their elders, and even students wanting to help the community, this can be us. | Evidence | Adequate |
020deabe92b9 | C83EB6623D24 | Some of the activities that would easily be assessed are cleaning up trash | Claim | Effective |
ac44dfecca83 | C83EB6623D24 | caring for the elderly. | Claim | Effective |
74c6d2ae02df | C83EB6623D24 | because it can almost be treated like a field trip where students will be brought to a designated location where clean up is necessary and the students will clean up the roads and fields to have better land and less global warming because of the littered trash.
This form of community service would be easy because it would take less than two hours, so the kids can leave the school and come back in the blink of an eye.
| Evidence | Effective |
f2fd85b5e327 | C83EB6623D24 | I believe this would be easy but a little more difficult to plan the picking up trash because the students will need to leave and come back from the homes of the elderly at different times so most if not all of the elderly citizens of our community can be helped and cared by the students at SCHOOL_NAME.
In a result there would be less fatalities of the elderly by falling because of the students with them to help care for them. | Evidence | Effective |
02d53688be39 | C83EB6623D24 | In Conclusion, I believe I will soon be able to see the day where our community is safe, where there is no global warming happening, where the streets and fields of our community are free of debris and the elderly are not frightened of getting too old where it is hard to see or walk because they will have children to rely on. | Concluding Statement | Effective |
97759dd158fa | C85EFB28D2F6 | The b average requirement should not be revised. These extracurricular activities should only be allowed for the students who try the hardest in their classes. | Position | Adequate |
361d5cda0b4d | C85EFB28D2F6 | Those students have earned themselves this and shouldn't share them with people that have anything less than a b average | Claim | Adequate |
20f1741410e2 | C85EFB28D2F6 | This is coming from a middle school student who takes algebra 1 in 8th grade and is recommended for English honors for high school next fall. That isn't pleased with a single b in any class that gets straight a' s. | Evidence | Ineffective |
3fb8b6567113 | C85EFB28D2F6 | A c average is required at my school for dances and other privileged things, I don't really care that a person that gets c' s or b' s has the rights that I'm entitled to | Claim | Adequate |
b714292d88d0 | C85EFB28D2F6 | i know that i am very highly over them in academics and especially all sports. I bet i will go to a d1 university hopefully at NOTRE DAME for a starting wide receiver or cornerback position. In order to go to that prestigious d1 university you have to have a 4.2 gpa and a hell of a top football player in the country. | Evidence | Ineffective |
d6d27d8cc574 | C86A3BBC881C | Many students might have a' C 'as an overall average, but taking away sports isn't really fair, | Position | Adequate |
f56d912216c4 | C86A3BBC881C | every kid needs exercise to keep their mind and body healthy. | Claim | Adequate |
0d429097595f | C86A3BBC881C | Grades are important, | Counterclaim | Adequate |
5449d33d9ae0 | C86A3BBC881C | but so is the need to exercise. | Rebuttal | Adequate |
657fdab3e258 | C86A3BBC881C | I could understand the fact of kid aren't putting enough effort into their work | Counterclaim | Adequate |
8f2300bfff3e | C86A3BBC881C | what if its not their fault what if their trying their best but they don't have any encouragement from their guardians | Rebuttal | Adequate |
31f33ccd5eb8 | C86A3BBC881C | A possible solution is the student with an average of a 'B ' should get a more variety of activities available, that way everyone get all the exercise , needed | Evidence | Adequate |
87c530c7ad24 | C86A3BBC881C | Most of those grade 'C' students are just having a hard time , they shouldn't be punished for doing their best | Claim | Adequate |
8e85e324afd5 | C86A3BBC881C | they should just spend some time reviewing simple mistakes they have made in the past. | Evidence | Ineffective |
229bc9db67a1 | C86A3BBC881C | taking exercise won't only make you unhealthy it . Makes your mind unable to work to its fullest extent | Claim | Adequate |
fcb542721b83 | C86A3BBC881C | For some people doing activities such as basketball, baseball, and football allows them to relieve their selves to clear their head to be able to focus on the main task at hand. | Evidence | Adequate |
730a63bc92f6 | C86A3BBC881C | I hope my reasoning will persuade or atleast give you second thought on changing the school policy. I am one of many students who believe it is wrong to change the school policy . | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
8afb8cc799d9 | C879A485810D | I think we shouldn't do community service | Position | Adequate |
165497d3d94d | C879A485810D | We have other stuff to do. | Claim | Adequate |
d024a71020cc | C879A485810D | We do not like to do community service. | Claim | Adequate |
11009ebcd351 | C879A485810D | If we do that we don't have time to do other stuff. I think community service is to much for us. I other people should do it. | Evidence | Ineffective |
bb80e66702fe | C879A485810D | Like high school students should do community service. | Claim | Adequate |
e79fb617b370 | C879A485810D | I think not elementary school do that cause we are not really to do that. We is not fun to do community service. I think for high school students would it been better to do that. They are old to be doing that. They would clean better then elementary school. I think high school are better then elementary school. So i think you should make high school students do it. But it up to you principal if you want elementary school to do community service or you want high school students but think high school is better. They would clean nice and pretty. | Evidence | Adequate |
5fb59d86a1c6 | C8AEF0F632C0 | I think policy 1 is the right policy because three reasons | Position | Adequate |
ce96106c8ee9 | C8AEF0F632C0 | why is its not disrupting class | Claim | Adequate |
96ddb6deb5b2 | C8AEF0F632C0 | emergencies | Claim | Adequate |
83abbf361b0d | C8AEF0F632C0 | let us have some fun for once | Claim | Adequate |
b79f130a8573 | C8AEF0F632C0 | I also thinks its time for a change and I believe that this will bring up students grades. | Claim | Ineffective |
3feb40f1c40e | C8AEF0F632C0 | Now the main concern I know you are worried about is class being disrupt | Claim | Adequate |
6a25002bfd2f | C8AEF0F632C0 | well if there turned off in class how can class be disrupted? As policy 1 requires only use cell phones during lunch and free time that means the teacher is not teaching class when we have our cells phone out. And if a phone does go off in class take that students phone away not everyone's. That's just the first reason why policy 1 is the best. | Evidence | Adequate |
d452fb7f851f | C8AEF0F632C0 | Next this brings me to is emergencies | Claim | Adequate |
b35b0695dc85 | C8AEF0F632C0 | I feel that if 20 students in a class has a phone and a intruder comes at least half the students can call 911. Also if a student is sick just tell the teacher to use bathroom where the student can call him/her parent , instead of having to fill out a slip to the nurse and its not disrupting class. Now TEACHER_NAME
that sounds good. | Evidence | Adequate |
dcac9b628974 | C8AEF0F632C0 | The last reason policy 1 is good is because we need to have fun | Claim | Adequate |
273ffca0dbfb | C8AEF0F632C0 | All we do is work all day and never have a break unless you have physical education. Also students will be way more happier and would want to go to school to learn instead of being bored half to death. | Evidence | Adequate |
9fa4a47e1532 | C8AEF0F632C0 |
Now that you have read this I will like you to think about policy 1 and how different school will be. From not disrupting class, emergencies, and letting us have some fun. Now you think about how school will be after that. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
0ccdedef6c24 | C8BF047C67E6 | I think community service is a great idea for kids here at our school to participate in. | Position | Adequate |
928a6bc8c6a3 | C8BF047C67E6 | Kids are saying it takes to much time way | Counterclaim | Ineffective |
