0eeba091852d	F8706CB01394	The electoral college is unfair, outdated, and irrational. The system has been around for milleniums from our founding fathers and the Constitution in the 1700s to present day America, it is critical that we update our system to a more realistic process where the citizens have more say in the leader we choose to lead us.

d037efec7e62	F8706CB01394	When people go out of thier way to vote, they vote because they want to have a say in their potentially future. They vote for who they believe would lead our society and modern day world in the right direction.

ae60af2301a1	F8706CB01394	The canidates mostly focus on the tight races ocuring in the "swing states" in 2000 many states didnt even get to see the candiates because they were "little, irrlevent, and worthless" states. I'm sure many people in those sates such as South Carolina and Rhode Island had a lot of input to add in the 2000 campagin but because they were little minority states they werent focused on as much as the other larger staes. This is very unfair and judgementally to these states because the Electoral College is based on involuntary effects, the inhabitants of North Caiolina or Rhode Island cannot control where they choose to live, they might have to live in the certain geograpic location because of finaces or religous persecution. They may want to have a say in the election but cant because of their living arrangements.	Evidence	Effective

b77945a739f2	F8A06DB4A5CE	The electoral college system is better than the popular vote system because every citizen should have a say in who is running the country they are living in. Also, if not everyone has a say in who their president is there would probably be claims of discrimination towards the government for not letting those people vote. There would,as well, not be a standard that could be set that everyone agrees on because the people excluded would not accept it.	Lead	Adequate

5315640328d7	F8FB4470A52F	"The Electoral College is a process, not a place. The founding fathers established it in the Constitution as a compromise between election of the President by a vote in Congress and election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens"(Office of the Federal Register1). Thus, the Electoral College is a balance of votes that includes many different sources for which the President is elected	Lead	Effective
bfcffb904a3a	F8FB4470A52F	For this, the Electoral College should be retained due to its contribution to successful elections even though there are some instances which occur and to help the elections remain fair and equal. Additionally, this process should be continued, but there are certain aspects that would argue for changing the aged process.	Position	Effective
427c7a2f8913	F8FB4470A52F	In Richard Posner's, "In Defense of the Electoral College: Five reasons to keep our despised method of choosing the President," he incorporates in his defense, that the electoral votes are awarded in a winner-take-all basis, which means that the states play an important role in the deciding factor of who will become the next President.	Claim	Adequate
43458437dd79	F8FB4470A52F	Posner explained theoretically, "In [2012's] election, for example, Obama received 61.7 percent of the electoral vote compared to only 51.3 perecnt of the popular votes cast for him and Romney... even a slight plurality in a state creates a landslide electoral-vote victory in that state" (Posner 1). With this, this shows that the state votes are important and essential to the canidates who are trying to obtain electoral votes in the states. Thus, this method or process is successful in ways many people do not aknowledge. The citizen's votes do matter, when every aspect is put into a big picture and taken into account.	Evidence	Effective
ff5833c7b265	F8FB4470A52F	Furthermore, the Electoral College alllows for everyone to have the chance to be apart of the elections.	Claim	Adequate
8ed05f4fdb20	F8FB4470A52F	The Office of the Federal Register explains, "The Electoral College process consists of the selection of the electors, the meeting of the electors where they vote for President and Vice President, and the counting of the electoral votes by Congress" (The Office of the Federal Register 1). This adds suppprt that at the end of the election, almost every part of an election including votes, is taken into consideration, thus making the election a sucessful one.	Evidence	Adequate
e28ad3f7c3cd	F8FB4470A52F	In The Office of the Federal Register's excerpt, "What Is The Electoral College," there is certain reasons that further divulge how the Electoral College is fair and equal to the canidates and the citizens who are voting	Claim	Effective
1fdd601bab95	F8FB4470A52F	This is reliterated when The Office of the Federal Register statees, " Your state's entitled allotment of electors equals the number of members in its Congressional Delegation: one for each member in the House of Representatives plus two for your Senators...(Office of the Federal Register 1). In addition this means that each state will receive an opportunity to have a meaningful vote to the elections because every state has the same kinds of members being awareded to them. Each state will have a different number of members due to the size, but they will all be of equal value to the canidates. To add for support, Posner says, "No region has enough electoral votes to elect a president"(Posner 1). With this, all the states understand that their vote is crucial to the election and the canidates. Fortunately, the Electoral College is fair and equal to all the state's voting in the election, sometimes even more than some states know. For example, Posner states, " Voters in toss up states are more likely to pay close attention to the campaign-to really listen tp the competing candidates-knowing that they are going to decide the election"(Posner 1). Ultimately, the Electoral College is the most fair way to decide and vote for a future president who will be our leader of all the citizens.	Evidence	Effective
410667f72a16	F8FB4470A52F	but there are some flaws. For example, Plumer explains, "... Thanks to the quirks of the electoral college- won the popular vote but list the presidency over 60 percent of the voters would prefer a direct election to the kind we have now" (Plumer 1). The elecotral college could alter the outcome of an election dramtically. Another issue that Plumer wants people to know is that, " Under the electoral collge sysytem, voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors..."	Counterclaim	Effective
08130bc47866	F8FB4470A52F	This is true but also could be a little dramatic. Ultimately, the citizens are the ones who are voting for the candidates not the electors. Without the vote from the citizens there would be no electors. The Electoral College process should still be kept even though there are some issues.	Rebuttal	Adequate
825521ada0a8	F8FB4470A52F	In conclusion, the Electoral College is very important to our modern day elections. The citizens and the states determine who the next Presidents will be. The process provides successful elecions which are fair and equal to not only the people, but the states. Posner states, "Voters in presidential elections are people who want to express a poltiacl preference rather than people who think that a single vote may decide an election" (Posner 1). The Electoral College makes sure that every person and state vote is accounted for and will be contributed to who the next President will be. One day maybe there will be a process that will exceed the Electral College, but for now, we will trust our founding fathers and keep the process that has been with us since the start.

Over time, more and more developments have been made in order to improve the quality of the curriculum that students learn in school.

8cdbdbc6524f	FA38B62F80E5	First and foremost, being able to attend classes from home would result in a lack of student discipline.	Claim	Effective
b8787694258b	FA38B62F80E5	Learning from home would discourage students from maintaining a strict schedule that would normally be upheld in a school building. For example, Generic_Name, a sixth grader, takes classes from home. The year before, he used to wake up at 6:00 every morning to get ready for school, which started at 8:00. Now, he wakes up around 9:00, because he only has four 90-minute classes to attend via video. While he may be able to get more sleep at night, Generic_Name has not established a routine for his school work, so he wastes hours before and in between classes. This leads to him not having enough time to spend with his loved ones or exercise, all because he has the leisure to slack off during the day. Consequently, there is not only a decrease in efficiency, but also in productivity, which is an outcome of the ability to attend classes from home. These are qualities of discipline, which is an indicator of success in the future.	Evidence	Effective

9d7baaeefe16	FA38B62F80E5	For instance, students who need clarification of certain material may not receive an adequate explanation online because their teacher's attention may be divided or focused on some other task. Additionally, in person, students would be able to ask follow-up questions and have a thorough discussion with their teacher, whereas a messaging system might not allow for steady communication due to breaks between answers. Therefore, there may be gaps in students' learning, which could contribute to poor performance in their classes.	Evidence	Effective
f1b6beafcda6	FA38B62F80E5	Last but not least, the regulation of tests is lowered when students have the ability to attend classes from home.	Claim	Effective
142aad91e8da	FA38B62F80E5	When assessing students' learning in a tradtional school, teachers normally provide them with hard copies of multiple-choice or short answer questions that require students to write with a pencil or pen. With advancements in technology, however, tests are increasingly being administered through software to both avoid the wastage of paper and facilitate the process of grading. Learning from home usually requires students to take all of their tests online rather than on paper, which becomes problematic when there is no teacher or reliable adult proctoring the administration. This allows for cheating and other dishonest behaviors to occur, thereby decreasing the credibility of the scores of students taking tests from home. Test regulation is necessary for schools to accurately assess the academic performance of students, so a lack thereof is detrimental to society.	Evidence	Effective
fad81f77226c	FA38B62F80E5	In conclusion, students would not benefit from being able to attend classes from home due to the lack of student discipline, teacher connection, and test regulation. A combination of one or more of these factors can lead to a student not meeting the standards of learning, or even worse, the requirements for graduation from school. At home, students are not monitored regularly as they are at school, which is a breeding ground for incomplete lessons and assignments. Subsequently, grades plummet, and in many cases, so does the motivation to excel. In order for education to fulfill its purpose, students should attend school in a building separate from their home. By doing so, they would be subject to the benefits of character cultivation, as they learn not only the subjects normally taught in a curriculum, but also the value of hard work and its upward path to accomplishment in life.

63d9017d9bbc	FA49F4D9E6A8	Online classes have been around for some time now, in fact only some schools offer this learning option by taking certain classes online or video conferencing.

57c477d98db9	FA49F4D9E6A8	The majority of kids that are home schooled or take online classes are because of what goes on around them at school.

Another reason a student may not feel safe at this school is because the way the school handles certain situations. Like every other school, there are drills, like lock down drills or fire drills.

063fee4137cb	FA49F4D9E6A8	A few other reasons why students take online classes are because a student could be getting bullied.

1da5f81be757	FA49F4D9E6A8	Another example on why kids may be taking online classes are because of what goes on in their life. Kids my age on social media that are influences are busy with the media .

d1646b9600e9	FA49F4D9E6A8	Lastly, failing a class. In some situations, students end up failing a class or classes and end up having to retake these classes online. Also, online classes is a great idea because it could help prepare students for college. Some students in college take online classes and do most of their work online, which will help the students that are still in school get prepared for college.	Evidence	Effective
541a0effbf79	FA49F4D9E6A8	Overall, I dont see why online classes would be an issue; as long as you're learning and getting the same education as you would be getting at a regular school then everything should be alright. Although online classes is a topic that should be discussed between parents and the school, students should have a say in it as well because after all, it is apart of their education. My thoughts on this is that all schools should give a chance to have online classes because as i said, some kids may end up liking this way of education and learn better! I'm glad other schools have given the opportunity to let students experience different kinds of education.	Concluding Statement	Effective

In Richard Posner's, "In Defense of the Electoral College: Five reasons to keep our despised method of choosing the President," he incorporates in his defense, that the electoral votes are awarded in a winner-take-all basis, which means that the states play an important role in the deciding factor of who will become the next President.

Posner explained theoretically, "In [2012's] election, for example, Obama received 61.7 percent of the electoral vote compared to only 51.3 perecnt of the popular votes cast for him and Romney... even a slight plurality in a state creates a landslide electoral-vote victory in that state" (Posner 1). With this, this shows that the state votes are important and essential to the canidates who are trying to obtain electoral votes in the states. Thus, this method or process is successful in ways many people do not aknowledge. The citizen's votes do matter, when every aspect is put into a big picture and taken into account.

This is reliterated when The Office of the Federal Register statees, " Your state's entitled allotment of electors equals the number of members in its Congressional Delegation: one for each member in the House of Representatives plus two for your Senators...(Office of the Federal Register 1). In addition this means that each state will receive an opportunity to have a meaningful vote to the elections because every state has the same kinds of members being awareded to them. Each state will have a different number of members due to the size, but they will all be of equal value to the canidates. To add for support, Posner says, "No region has enough electoral votes to elect a president"(Posner 1). With this, all the states understand that their vote is crucial to the election and the canidates. Fortunately, the Electoral College is fair and equal to all the state's voting in the election, sometimes even more than some states know. For example, Posner states, " Voters in toss up states are more likely to pay close attention to the campaign-to really listen tp the competing candidates-knowing that they are going to decide the election"(Posner 1). Ultimately, the Electoral College is the most fair way to decide and vote for a future president who will be our leader of all the citizens.

Posner states, "Voters in presidential elections are people who want to express a poltiacl preference rather than people who think that a single vote may decide an election" (Posner 1). The Electoral College makes sure that every person and state vote is accounted for and will be contributed to who the next President will be.

Learning from home would discourage students from maintaining a strict schedule that would normally be upheld in a school building. For example, Generic_Name, a sixth grader, takes classes from home. The year before, he used to wake up at 6:00 every morning to get ready for school, which started at 8:00. Now, he wakes up around 9:00, because he only has four 90-minute classes to attend via video. While he may be able to get more sleep at night, Generic_Name has not established a routine for his school work, so he wastes hours before and in between classes. This leads to him not having enough time to spend with his loved ones or exercise, all because he has the leisure to slack off during the day. Consequently, there is not only a decrease in efficiency, but also in productivity, which is an outcome of the ability to attend classes from home.

FA38B62F80E5

When assessing students' learning in a tradtional school, teachers normally provide them with hard copies of multiple-choice or short answer questions that require students to write with a pencil or pen. With advancements in technology, however, tests are increasingly being administered through software to both avoid the wastage of paper and facilitate the process of grading. Learning from home usually requires students to take all of their tests online rather than on paper, which becomes problematic when there is no teacher or reliable adult proctoring the administration. This allows for cheating and other dishonest behaviors to occur, thereby decreasing the credibility of the scores of students taking tests from home. Test regulation is necessary for schools to accurately assess the academic performance of students, so a lack thereof is detrimental to society.

In conclusion, students would not benefit from being able to attend classes from home due to the lack of student discipline, teacher connection, and test regulation. A combination of one or more of these factors can lead to a student not meeting the standards of learning, or even worse, the requirements for graduation from school. At home, students are not monitored regularly as they are at school, which is a breeding ground for incomplete lessons and assignments. Subsequently, grades plummet, and in many cases, so does the motivation to excel. In order for education to fulfill its purpose, students should attend school in a building separate from their home. By doing so, they would be subject to the benefits of character cultivation, as they learn not only the subjects normally taught in a curriculum, but also the value of hard work and its upward path to accomplishment in life.

Another reason a student may not feel safe at this school is because the way the school handles certain situations. Like every other school, there are drills, like lock down drills or fire drills. Some students may not want to go through real life drills and they fear a real one could happen.

A few other reasons why students take online classes are because a student could be getting bullied. In some cases this is true, a student may not be getting the best education at a regular school because they're too scared to even go to school. At times, parents end up taking matters into their own hands by protecting their child from bullying and finding a solution like online classes

Another example on why kids may be taking online classes are because of what goes on in their life. Kids my age on social media that are influences are busy with the media . They create content or focus on other things in life that may not fit with a full schedule class at school so they choose to take online classes that way they learn on their own time and have time to work on their social media life

Lastly, failing a class. In some situations, students end up failing a class or classes and end up having to retake these classes online. Also, online classes is a great idea because it could help prepare students for college. Some students in college take online classes and do most of their work online, which will help the students that are still in school get prepared for college.

Overall, I dont see why online classes would be an issue; as long as you're learning and getting the same education as you would be getting at a regular school then everything should be alright. Although online classes is a topic that should be discussed between parents and the school, students should have a say in it as well because after all, it is apart of their education. My thoughts on this is that all schools should give a chance to have online classes because as i said, some kids may end up liking this way of education and learn better! I'm glad other schools have given the opportunity to let students experience different kinds of education.

You should be able to keep the Electoral College so every person has their right in voting and it would be equal

"..the electoral college is unfair to voters." All the people want is to be equal and have their rights and in order for them to have rights. Instead, of Congress going with just the populars, they should be able to count up all the people's voting choices and let it decide like that. "The election is only a few swing voters away from catastrophe." If the higher people in the Presidency don't take charge soon enough every electoral poll booth we have will turn into a big mess with horrible, unexpected things coming.

If all things were possible, do you really think this world would be having these arguments or 'hard choices'. "A tie in the nationwide electoral vote is possible because the total number of votes is an even number." Does that mean we should go with the popular votes if it's a tie? Yes, well if it's an even number it happens rarely enough where you don't see it often. "Voters are the people who want to express rather than people who think a single vote will decide." The people eho think one vote will decide more than the other's is wrong because what if that person had expressed their vote and the other choice would've won.
