JCCS Academic Language Assessment Week 31 - Vandalism

-------Should parents be held accountable for their child's damage? ---Academic Vocabulary Words: ----ACHIEVE ----COMPUTE ----SPECIFIC Parents should no be held accountable for their child's damage or vandalism. According to states that there are SPECIFIC laws that state that parents are responsible for their kids actions and if their kids make or cause trouble or damage, the parents are responsible. If you COMPUTE the final solution, kids should have the consequences so they get taught a lesson instead of the parents. The parents already gave to go through so much with work and their kids at school so, I think its best if the kids finally get the consequences. If kids are taught not to vandalize anymore then they can ACHIEVE something better in life.

JCCS Academic Language Assessment Week 29 - School Conferences

----Should parents face jail time for missing their child's school conferences? ---Academic Vocabulary Words: ----RESOURCE ----SEEK ----TRANSFER Parents should not face jail time for missing their child's school conferences. According to this website shows that in some place such as Detroit, already are thinking about using jail time as a consequence for parents. This also shows that parents work hard to keep their kids in school but if they miss a day of school conferences. They are many RESOURCES that parents can SEEK to help, such as they can have babysitters attend their child's conferences. Also this website states that "Others say that just because a parent misses a meeting, doesn't necessarily mean he or she is negligent." Which means that not all parents who do not attend are not always in neglect of their parents. Another reason why parents should not face jail time for missing their child's school conference because parents might be working and busy. When parents are required to go to school conferences it is hard to TRANSFER from one place to another. In conclusion parents can sometimes be very busy and and hard to move and schedule from here to there that is why parents should not face jail time for missing their child's school conferences.
