JCCS Academic Language Assessment Week 10

------Women should/should not be required to register for the Selective Service? ---Academic Vocabulary Words: ----FACTOR ----PLOT ----VOICE Women should not be required to register for the Selective Service because women have a higher chance of getting killed in war then men. Some women might have the same abilities as a man does but at the same time women should be able to stay home and worry about their children and being their main factor in life. Women do have a voice as well but women should not be sent to war just because government thinks everything should be "equal." Not everything is going to be the same. Women going to war is way plotted way differently than women who stay home. This is because women who stay home feel like they are important like they have a need to stay home and help feed their kids keep them safe and do the duties of being a woman. While women who go to war may not come home often or sometimes don't come home at all, which is something that can affect their children.

JCCS Academic Language Assessment Week 9

---Should junk food be banned from high school vending machines?
I think junk foods should not be banned from high school vending machines because junk food can not only be described as chips, sodas and pastries It can be described as hamburgers and pizzas. An important part of school is not only about learning but also as well as making smart choices and picking through "junk foods" is a good ALTERNATIVE for teens. Banning junk food does not teach teens how to make healthy choices it simply removes their options. Banning junk foods is not a very good STRATEGY to teach teens how to start eating healthy. Even though adult worry about kids with obesity issues and other diseases they shouldn't ban junks foods from kids now. In PREVIOUS there have been kids who can't control themselves. But if their peers help htem they can become more and more motivated towards making smart choices. Teens can make progress not by banning their junk foods but by letting them know what their choices are.

JCCS Academic Language Assessment Week 8


The Ten Commandments do not belong in schools. A reason why is because there are many religions out there with different varieties and different CATEGORY's of people and beliefs. For example, some religions believe there are different gods and some religions believe there is one god but Jesus is not the son of god. Another reason is because some people may think that god plays a big ROLE in kids life because of a thing called the "afterlife." An "afterlife" is life after death, it is a decision between whether you have not sinned or sinned, believed in god or not. People CONSUME all this information from a very famous book called "The Bible". A book with the ten commandments and many other series of events that have happened in times before explaining that everyone should live for god. But this should mainly be studied in church. Which is why I think the Ten Commandments should not be allowed in schools because it can use up kids time instead of learning what they need to know to be successful in life.

JCCS Academic Language Assessment Week 5


Vaccinations should be required for all children because it can cause other kids to get sick as well. There is an ESTIMATE of 1 out o 88 kids get side affects from vaccinations. But I would rather have a Positive side and let my kid get a shot than end up sick with a chance of dying. I can already ILLUSTRATE kids that don't get their shot, being really really sick. Vaccinations should be required for all children because no other kids or person should be getting sick just because you don't want your kid to miss their vaccination.

------Has the pressure of teen sports gone too far?

The pressure of teen sports has not gone too far because the pressure that coaches give their team players also can help by motivating them by doing good in school. Also if coaches want to construct a good team then they have to add pressure to help then understand what they are going or working towards. Pressure can play a significant role in helping athletes move and push harder.As an athlete myself I identify that pressure only happens when you most need i to make a team build stronger and come together. Pressure of teen sports has not gone too far because pressure is motivation.

JCCS Academic Language Assessment Week 3

-Should parents regulate their teen’s diet and exercise to prevent obesity?


I think parents shouldn't have the right to regulate their teens diet because the should focus more on their education and if it ever gets really bad to where a kid is obese then the parents can start worrying. Otherwise the more appropriate way of a parent regulating teens diets are by reminding them to take control of their diet. Teens should consist controlling their own diets because when they get older they will not have their parents with them to give them their healthy foods.
