Academic Language Week 29 - School Conferences

I think adults should not face jail time for missing their child's school conference. A reason is because we have never had a law or rule now so why start. Another reason is because parents don't always have the time to go to every conference. If anything, we should change the rule of conferences instead of facing jail time, for example changing the resources such as calling home or sending a note or letter is a good idea. It would be a waste of time waiting or seeking for the parents when you could just easily call them to transfer the information or write them a letter or even leave them a message. The last reason why I think adults should not face jail time is because parents have to work for their kids education so therefore they are busy working for their kids good.

Trayvon Martin Paragraph

     The shooting of Trayvon is important  to my life because when I become an adult I will worry that my kids are either living in a good neighborhood or not. I would  make sure my kids are aware when someone is following them and know what to do when it happens. According to what is happening now I am sure that when I grow up and have kids everything will be a little more safe. Another reason, why the shooting of Trayvon is affective it will help us in the future if the laws don't change it could be used as good evidence to help our case . The shooting of Trayvon not will only affect in the future but can also affect people now. It can affect other families worrying about their kids being safe. The shooting of Trayvon is relevant to my life, because I know that someday I can change something or do something about it and save at least one more life.

Academic Language Week 27 - Drug-Sniffing Dogs

Global Positioning System (GPS) devices should be required for habitually truant students because that way truant students can come to school everyday on time knowing they have something motivating them to get to class. It would also improve students accuracy attendance. I think this is actually a really great idea because I can't think of any other element that would motivate kids to go to school everyday. Most kids that get GPS devices mainly get it from bad conduct or behavior in school but most of all attendance. The person who created or administered this idea thought of something really great. In conclusion I think GPS devices were a great idea because if it were me I know I would not like something like GPS systems but I would want something to motivate me.

Rain, Vacation, or Zombies vs Vampires Blog Post Paragraph

I would honestly rather be attacked a zombie. I choose zombies because vampires can fly and can reach you when you least expect it. While zombies are dumb, run slow, don't have as much strength as alive humans, and if they do they are dumb enough and don't how to use it. Another reason why I would rather be attacked by a zombie is because I can easily run away as for a vampire it can fly and catch you before you can step. The last reason why I would rather be attackted by a zombie is because when you are a zombie you don't know what your doing but when your a vampire you have to go through the pain.

Academic Language Week 27 - Drug-Sniffing Dogs

School officials have the right to use drug-dogs because that way students that have an addiction to it can stop knowing that there is someone looking through their stuff. Another reason why they have the right is because sometimes dogs can find something and might even assume the right person. Additionally the process of checking everyone's belongings can become useful when some who addicted has been bringing drugs to school. In conclusion I would respond to this in a good way because it not only helps the kids addicted but also the kids trying to avoid drugs.

Testing Thoughts Paragraph

Taking the CAHSEE is a good thing because that way teachers can see how much the students have learned over the past year. Another reason why I think it is a good idea is because when you graduate by passing the CAHSEE whatever college you decide to go to can see your scores. I feel as if the CAHSEE can be good also to the students because some kids forget during the middle of the year what they have learned in the past. So by taking the CAHSEE you can remember what you forgot. I am a freshman and I'm not taking the CAHSEE this year but next year I will be prepared and ready because I know what is coming.
