d714001d66c2	F0AA6B265B6F	This is a challenge that many home school students have had to face but they are better equipped to solve this problem. Home schooled students typically get around distractions by having a dedicated space for school. This works for the typically wealthier home school students whose families can afford an extra room in the house. This solution is next to impossible to maintain in cities or impoverished areas were all the rooms in a given house are taken up, or potentially over used.	Evidence	Effective
db8af6afb7ee	F0AA6B265B6F	The implementation of online schooling would destroy one of the greatest aspects of traditional schooling, the "learning environment".	Claim	Effective
27ef2a3c3207	F0AA6B265B6F	Many supporters of online education say that it significantly reduces the chances of social problems that arrive from traditional schooling such as bullying.	Counterclaim	Effective
184c3b08e181	F0AA6B265B6F	There are two main fallacies in this argument: first, that bullying can still happen outside of school; and second, that this sheltering makes it easier for bullying to occur later in life.	Rebuttal	Effective
dd77b7cc1c14	F0AA6B265B6F	Cyberbullying has become an ever greater threat to students and schools have been largely unequipped to deal with the problem head on. Online schooling would only magnify the problem by allowing problems to go undetected with the school having limited access to what is going on only when students are logged into a computer. The second problem arises from the transition that students make from high school to college. This serves as a difficult time for students already with hazing, bullying, and other bad social behaviors occurring. If a student is sheltered for all of their public education, from kindergarten to 12th grade, they are exposed to this harsh environment without the social skills or experience required to navigate these turbulent times. Instead of stopping the problem of bulling, online education only seeks to kick the problem further down the road.	Evidence	Effective
56f646b9ff82	F0AA6B265B6F	Online education as a whole may appear promising in its abilities to "level the playing field" but it instead, if implemented, would result in a regression on many of the fronts; namely: physical school resources, after school activities, and the benefits from a dedicated school building. This would make the "playing field" of education only more uneven. As the COVID-19 virus sweeps across the country and schools must look to online schools for a time, it will be necessary for schools to remember the benefits of traditional education and see online schooling as only a temporary fix.

811441a5066a	F0E863BDEB82	In this essay, I will be discussing the non-existence of ancient Martians that theorists claim to be real because of a land formation that lots of people so passionately call "the Face".	Position	Adequate
c97415e737fe	F0E863BDEB82	First and formost, Martians have been wafting around the population; because of the amount of time it has been around and all of the conspiracy, this has lead many conspirarists to go to extremes to prove that anything that anyone can believe in is real.

After the Mars Global Surveyor flew by Cydonia one day in April, it was completely proven to be just your average land formation. Afterwards, skeptics still were not satisfied, even with the incontroversial evidence that all it was was a rock formation. So, we flew by AGAIN, just to prove that that was all it was	Evidence	Adequate

05d36fea6a21	F10231811C61	Continuing on, bullying has been a serious issue in today's society. It has come to a point where students feel unprotected in a place where their parents and teachers may think they feel safe. School is portrayed as a safe environment and should be. Although, in some situations it is not and many students have dealt with bullying in a learning environment. Bullying makes it difficult for any student to come to school focused and feel comfortable with who they are. Adding on to this reason, school shootings are another very important problem for why it is safer for students to attend online school at home. This dangerous act shatters the idea of any school being safe knowing someone could get hurt or worse. Attending online school helps avoid these kinds of situations.	Evidence	Effective
8dc995729c41	F10231811C61	Furthermore, staying at home all day and everyday decreases the student's chances to get distracted from their education.	Claim	Effective
a0b4fe0ece28	F10231811C61	Online school at home prevents that from happening. For example, other students wouldn't be able to create distractions by being loud and speaking to another student when they are trying to learn. Many students cause distractions in class when the teacher is teaching or out of the classroom. Although, it is up to the student whether or not they will allow their classmate to get them off task or ignore their distractions. In some cases, the student can be responsible enough to but in others many students may find it difficult.	Evidence	Adequate

ae03b2c12e44	F10231811C61	It decreases the time to finish work at home rather than at school. Most online school programs offer as much time as you need on an assignment. Although, once you've started one there is of course, a deadline. Attending online school at home is very benefitial in this reason because it would make it easier for the student. On that note, if a student were to be having trouble with an assignment online they would be able to turn it in once they have understood it completely or if not the student could move on to another subject and come back to it. That is what makes online school at home very helpful and beneficial. In a classroom that would not be possible, in some cases, they would have no other choice but to turn it when needed to and accept the consequences.	Evidence	Effective

64bb6099c7e2	F15EC33EC261	because the electoral college is a process not a place. The founding father established it in the constitition as the compromise between election of the President by a popular vote. The electoral college cobsists of 538 electors. A majority of 270 electoral votes is required to elect the president. Your state's entitles allotment of electors equals the number of members in its congressional delegation: one for each memeber in the house of representatives plus two for your senators. Each candiate running for president in your state has hin or her own group of electors. The Electors are generally chosen by the candidate's political party, but state laws vary on how how the electors are selected and what their responsibilities are. The presidential election is held every four years on the tuesday after the first monday in november. You help choose your state's electors when you vote for President because when you vote for your candidate you actually voting for your candidate's electors. After the presidential election, your governor prepares a "Certifacte of Ascertainent" lsiting all of the candidates who ran for president in your state along with the names of their respective electors. The Certificate of Ascertainment also declares the winning presidential candidate in your state and shows which electors will represent your state at the meeting of the electors in december of the election year. Your state's certificates of acertainments are sent to the congres and the national archives as part of the official records of the presential election. Under the electoral college system, voters not for the president, but for a state of electors, who in turn elect the president. if you lived in texas, for example, and and wanted to vote for john kerry, you'd vote for a slate of democatic electors pledged to kerry. On the off-chance that those electors won the statewide election, they would go to congress and kerry would get 34 electoral votes. Who are the electors? They can anyone not holding public office it depends on the state. That is how it works this is my reason.	Evidence	Ineffective

However, driverless cars can take away the exhausting driving experience and allow the driver to relax. For example, "Traffic Jam Assistant" will be very helpful to anyone in a traffic jam because it would take away the boredom of driving in a traffic jam. Traffic Jam Assistant enables the car to handle driving functions up to 25 miles per hour. This would be very helpful in a long and tedious traffic jam because one does not drive over 25 miles per hour in a traffic jam. Also, if taxis could be driverless cars, the quality of life for the average citizen would increase. Taxis would cost less money, they would be open more often, and they could take passengers to farther destinations. This would dramatically increase the quality of life for all people and it would make owning a car almost antiquated. this would provide much finacianal saving for the average person and it would provide a great deal of convinience for the average person as well.

Cyberbullying has become an ever greater threat to students and schools have been largely unequipped to deal with the problem head on. Online schooling would only magnify the problem by allowing problems to go undetected with the school having limited access to what is going on only when students are logged into a computer. The second problem arises from the transition that students make from high school to college. This serves as a difficult time for students already with hazing, bullying, and other bad social behaviors occurring. If a student is sheltered for all of their public education, from kindergarten to 12th grade, they are exposed to this harsh environment without the social skills or experience required to navigate these turbulent times. Instead of stopping the problem of bulling, online education only seeks to kick the problem further down the road.

Online education as a whole may appear promising in its abilities to "level the playing field" but it instead, if implemented, would result in a regression on many of the fronts; namely: physical school resources, after school activities, and the benefits from a dedicated school building. This would make the "playing field" of education only more uneven. As the COVID-19 virus sweeps across the country and schools must look to online schools for a time, it will be necessary for schools to remember the benefits of traditional education and see online schooling as only a temporary fix.

Continuing on, bullying has been a serious issue in today's society. It has come to a point where students feel unprotected in a place where their parents and teachers may think they feel safe. School is portrayed as a safe environment and should be. Although, in some situations it is not and many students have dealt with bullying in a learning environment. Bullying makes it difficult for any student to come to school focused and feel comfortable with who they are. Adding on to this reason, school shootings are another very important problem for why it is safer for students to attend online school at home. This dangerous act shatters the idea of any school being safe knowing someone could get hurt or worse. Attending online school helps avoid these kinds of situations.

It decreases the time to finish work at home rather than at school. Most online school programs offer as much time as you need on an assignment. Although, once you've started one there is of course, a deadline. Attending online school at home is very benefitial in this reason because it would make it easier for the student. On that note, if a student were to be having trouble with an assignment online they would be able to turn it in once they have understood it completely or if not the student could move on to another subject and come back to it. That is what makes online school at home very helpful and beneficial. In a classroom that would not be possible, in some cases, they would have no other choice but to turn it when needed to and accept the consequences.

because the electoral college is a process not a place. The founding father established it in the constitition as the compromise between election of the President by a popular vote. The electoral college cobsists of 538 electors. A majority of 270 electoral votes is required to elect the president. Your state's entitles allotment of electors equals the number of members in its congressional delegation: one for each memeber in the house of representatives plus two for your senators. Each candiate running for president in your state has hin or her own group of electors. The Electors are generally chosen by the candidate's political party, but state laws vary on how how the electors are selected and what their responsibilities are. The presidential election is held every four years on the tuesday after the first monday in november. You help choose your state's electors when you vote for President because when you vote for your candidate you actually voting for your candidate's electors. After the presidential election, your governor prepares a "Certifacte of Ascertainent" lsiting all of the candidates who ran for president in your state along with the names of their respective electors. The Certificate of Ascertainment also declares the winning presidential candidate in your state and shows which electors will represent your state at the meeting of the electors in december of the election year. Your state's certificates of acertainments are sent to the congres and the national archives as part of the official records of the presential election. Under the electoral college system, voters not for the president, but for a state of electors, who in turn elect the president. if you lived in texas, for example, and and wanted to vote for john kerry, you'd vote for a slate of democatic electors pledged to kerry. On the off-chance that those electors won the statewide election, they would go to congress and kerry would get 34 electoral votes. Who are the electors? They can anyone not holding public office it depends on the state. That is how it works this is my reason.

In tedious situations like a traffic jam, driving is boring and energy wasting. However, driverless cars can take away the exhausting driving experience and allow the driver to relax. For example, "Traffic Jam Assistant" will be very helpful to anyone in a traffic jam because it would take away the boredom of driving in a traffic jam. Traffic Jam Assistant enables the car to handle driving functions up to 25 miles per hour. This would be very helpful in a long and tedious traffic jam because one does not drive over 25 miles per hour in a traffic jam. Also, if taxis could be driverless cars, the quality of life for the average citizen would increase. Taxis would cost less money, they would be open more often, and they could take passengers to farther destinations. This would dramatically increase the quality of life for all people and it would make owning a car almost antiquated. this would provide much finacianal saving for the average person and it would provide a great deal of convinience for the average person as well.
