2a7f7958bcb6	DCDE1C43C218	Electoral College believers think that having electors go on either side to let one canidate win, is right. "Knowing their vote will have no effect, they have less incentive to pay attention to the campaign than they would have if the president were picked by popular vote.."(Posner). So these Electoral College followers agree with the electors actually selecting the winner because they don't have to do anything. People can just sit back and watch the electors take the power, while the others do nothing but be slumps. In source one, the Office of the Federal Register mention that "when you vote for your candidate you are actually voting for your candidate's electors.", which means that if voters have friends in the position of an elector, voters might just vote for the elector because theres nothing else to really pay attention to.

b17a239fcc99	DCDE1C43C218	In source three, Posner states "it is the electors who elect the president, not the people."If one has gone through an election, theres a long process and hassle of being able to vote, but if people go through the craziness to vote, why not make the vote count?""Faithless" electors have occasionally refused to vote for their party's candidate and cast a deciding vote for whomever they please."(Plumer, paragraph 11). Not only are voters wasting their time to vote but the electors cheat. For example, if one candidate has the urge to win, they will send one of their electors to be on the opponents side so the opponent loses a vote that they believed would be theres. Electoral College also may not be fair to those in a small state. "a large state gets more attention from presidential canidates in a campaign than a small state does...", as said by Posner. Its not fair that even the people who vote from a small state, won't really get recognized because there are bigger states to overrule, and even then, the electors will still choose who they desire. Electoral College is an unfair, and a cheating way to vote.	Evidence	Effective
5156d65b78cd	DCDE1C43C218	To conclude the argument, Electoral College should forsure be removed. Citizens favor popular vote over an electors vote. Candidates and voters enter a whole different threshold to express their political preferance. Why should the government even have voting if there really not truly being seen in the correct way. Citizens want to take a stand and vote in what the mind believes in. Take out Electoral College, and let the voters vote, actually count.	Concluding Statement	Effective

5d3b05726055	DD474E5804C0	If students were to study from home it would be difficult for them to understand what the assignment that is being asked to complete at certain time. The students should be able to afford a device which is necessary to study any subject.	Evidence	Adequate

52be6a521d4c	DD474E5804C0	Students would not meet each other or talk physically which would be awkward, can cause them to not trust each other if it comes to a project that needs to be done. Physical education would not be a class since everything would be on devices which is a conflict, which is needed to graduate. In many short word students will be gaining so much weight that they'll not be able to do certain sports they want or walk to their destination.	Evidence	Adequate

4a1e7ef8c7ba	DD474E5804C0	If they have a job they will consider work their first priority instead of school. Student's would not receive a scholar ship or diploma so that they can go to college and accomplishing the goal of having a better job.	Evidence	Adequate
9363fe377f76	DD474E5804C0	Some people say that school is very important for students, that they'll earn more money than their parents who probably dont have a well paid job and education.	Counterclaim	Adequate
b1ba5ad0cdce	DD474E5804C0	But I think it can benefit sometimes it can be a amazing idea for students to study home because they won't drop out of school. Students have different emotions that trigger them to want to leave school behind, since they start working more to pay bills that need to be paid each month.	Rebuttal	Adequate
1eee3909cc4c	DD474E5804C0	All students should go to school to focus on what they want to be in life or do. Physical experience is not the same as typing online or video conference. Knowing that student's can succeed in different ways is not bad even so they will be expected to have any sort of education someday in the future. School is providing knowledge for those who pay attention to school and more. Believing you can do what you always dreamed of is a motivation that will help learn more about life and the way it works.	Concluding Statement	Adequate
ff3f4a3e8268	DD586A625C89	In my opinion, I strongly believe that cell phones should be turned off and put into people lockers during the school day other than allowing students to have their phones at lunchtime.	Position	Effective
93693a63e694	DD586A625C89	In this generation, too many kids are using their cell phones in rule breaking, grade declining ways.	Claim	Adequate
d7a6e14f781b	DD586A625C89	First off, if students are allowed to have their phones on at lunch, it would just encourage kids to take their phones into their class and text their friends while missing important information.	Claim	Effective
a8a60886f872	DD586A625C89	We all know that this is already a big problem here. If the new rule is made, the no cell phone rule wont get any 'better'. In fact, the problem will just slowly get worse until texting in class gets out of hand. If cell phones are allowed in school just during lunch, it could be in one kid's mind thinking, "If its allowed at lunch, then the teacher wont be so strict on texting in class." Once one kid starts flipping out the cell phone in class, other people will catch on and turn on their mobile devices too. In a matter of months, it could lead to more detentions, more suspensions, and more angry parents. So think, what is the positive of having cell phones even at lunch?	Evidence	Effective
85086c555909	DD586A625C89	Another reason why cell phones shouldn't even be allowed is the lingering question, "Why do kids need to text in school when their friends are there?"	Claim	Effective

b1238f716ab8	DD586A625C89	But If you have the same class with your buddy, you don't need to pop out your cell phone just to get the buzz on who's dating who. In other words, cant you talk to your friends at lunch time?	Rebuttal	Effective
48e026dbb6b1	DD586A625C89	That is the main reason why lunchtime was created in schools- to talk to your friends instead of using the alternative cell phone.	Evidence	Adequate
67a0d9fb3f84	DD586A625C89	Also, if cell phones weren't allowed in school and teachers really cracked down on the new rule, it would stop kids right in their tracks from attempting to get their cell phones out while they're learning about the Louisiana Purchase. Overall, this rule would set a great example for kids and teach them that cell phones are a distraction and lead you out of school. This would be a win-win situation.	Evidence	Effective
8cb2e8cd7db6	DD586A625C89	In the end, cell phones are really meant for outside of school and immediate emergencies. At best, i recommend that students should have their cell phones off and in their locker during the school day.	Concluding Statement	Effective

We should probably start by a Saturday instead of being at home bored not getting you anywhere. Starting by groups seems like a good start I would enjoy that.

d59545e494e3	DDB424217004	For example, my Mom Mom is a clown. One time I went with her to the nursing home and I can not even tell you how good it felt to see those people smile. With my Mom Mom and I visiting I could just tell how much it meant to them. My Mom Mom would pop one of her corny jokes ... but the patients in the nursing home absolutely LOVED our company. I could tell just by the way they looked at us with a smile from ear to ear that we brightened up their day. I had to miss skating, a sport that i have been doing since I was two years old, to do this community service project, but let me tell you... it is DEFINATELY worthwhile.	Evidence	Effective
56713840686b	DDB424217004	The feeling you get when you see these people's faces are priceless. It's amazing how contagious a smile is.

When people vote for there candidate the electors are the ones being selected and aren't always the way they were in their chosing so therefore there can be a serious tip in votes if the electors don't vote for the candidate of the party they were selected by.

This is because if a president is only desired by a certain region and not the rest of the country, the wants of the rest of the country aren't met and he most likely will not tend to the needs of them, and ultimately doesn't have a chance of being selected as president.

Electoral College believers think that having electors go on either side to let one canidate win, is right. "Knowing their vote will have no effect, they have less incentive to pay attention to the campaign than they would have if the president were picked by popular vote.."(Posner). So these Electoral College followers agree with the electors actually selecting the winner because they don't have to do anything. People can just sit back and watch the electors take the power, while the others do nothing but be slumps. In source one, the Office of the Federal Register mention that "when you vote for your candidate you are actually voting for your candidate's electors.", which means that if voters have friends in the position of an elector, voters might just vote for the elector because theres nothing else to really pay attention to.

In source three, Posner states "it is the electors who elect the president, not the people."If one has gone through an election, theres a long process and hassle of being able to vote, but if people go through the craziness to vote, why not make the vote count?""Faithless" electors have occasionally refused to vote for their party's candidate and cast a deciding vote for whomever they please."(Plumer, paragraph 11). Not only are voters wasting their time to vote but the electors cheat. For example, if one candidate has the urge to win, they will send one of their electors to be on the opponents side so the opponent loses a vote that they believed would be theres. Electoral College also may not be fair to those in a small state. "a large state gets more attention from presidential canidates in a campaign than a small state does...", as said by Posner. Its not fair that even the people who vote from a small state, won't really get recognized because there are bigger states to overrule, and even then, the electors will still choose who they desire. Electoral College is an unfair, and a cheating way to vote.

To conclude the argument, Electoral College should forsure be removed. Citizens favor popular vote over an electors vote.

We all know that this is already a big problem here. If the new rule is made, the no cell phone rule wont get any 'better'. In fact, the problem will just slowly get worse until texting in class gets out of hand. If cell phones are allowed in school just during lunch, it could be in one kid's mind thinking, "If its allowed at lunch, then the teacher wont be so strict on texting in class." Once one kid starts flipping out the cell phone in class, other people will catch on and turn on their mobile devices too. In a matter of months, it could lead to more detentions, more suspensions, and more angry parents. So think, what is the positive of having cell phones even at lunch?

So when the party selects their electors they are most likely to select the candidate of the party they were selected by. There is also regional appeal,if a president only has diserably mojority of vores in a certain region of the country he is "unlikely to be a succesful president"( Source 3, Paragraph 5) . This is because if a president is only desired by a certain region and not the rest of the country, the wants of the rest of the country aren't met and he most likely will not tend to the needs of them, and ultimately doesn't have a chance of being selected as president. Finally, when no candidate for president has a clear majority of votes, the electoral college's votes gove a clear winner and a candidate is selected.

Most people feel good when they help other people, and they do it as often as they can. They might be a volunteer at a soup kitchen, donate money, pick up litter, help someone put up their groceries, or any other community service. Volunteering is a great way to help the community and anyone can do it, however volunteering is called volunteering for a reason. When you volunteer, you're willing to give up your time to help someone else.

You shouldn't force someone to volunteer for community service. Volunteering is a choice. That's why it's called "volunteer."

They could have a job after school, plus have to do all of the homework required by your teachers. If you force students to perform a service, they might not be able to reach there highest point academically because they're so bogged down with a to-do list. Students would get too stressed out with everything they have to do. Stress isn't good physically or mentally, and that could cause grades to go down. Not having to do community service would give students more time for studying and other things like an after-school sport or club. If you want more kids to participate in extra-curricular things, you can't add another burden onto their shoulders. You know what they say, All work and no play...

Helping out the community is very important, but community service isn't the only way for a person to help out in the community.

Most people recycle, or donate old clothes to a local charity. A recent survey showed that starting a recycling or donating program at our school would have a lot more willing participants than required community service would. In fact, 90% of the student population said they would love to help out with my proposed programs, whereas only 40% would be willing to volunteer for a service. Donating and recycling, or another idea you may have that's easy do to and doesn't take too much time, would be just as helpful to the community as volunteer work would be.

There is no need for you to require community service in our school. Don't force students to be a volunteer, because then it just wouldn't be volunteering. They wouldn't be as willing to do the service, and they might not do the job as well as they would if they did it by choice, and the community service would be a waste of time if the helper didn't do it right or well enough.
