Academic Language Week 8 - Ten Commandments

Junk food should be banned from schools vending machines because a lot of kids are obese from junk food. An ALTERNATIVE  for junk for can be eating fruits or something health but taste good.  One reasons for junk food being banned is because some students will only eat the junk food instead of lunch food. A STRATEGY for schools to do is that they can give candy bar at lunch so that kids would not wont to spend there money on junk food.  A lot of kids love to eat candy but if school let them eat candy bar at lunch that they give them then it might minimize the amount of candy that kids eat.

Academic Language Week 8 - Ten Commandments

No, I don't believe that the 10 Commandments belong in school. The reason why It doesn't belong is because a lot of people have different religions and some aren't Christian. A lot of kids who are Christian go to church and learn the 10 commandments there. It's not the schools ROLE to teach children about that when they can learn something else that is relevant. If kids learn the 10 commandments in school then they are CONSUMING information that isn't needed for them, to graduate. Kids go to school to learn something that will benefit them. Another reason that children don't need the 10 commandments is that if some kids follow them and some don't and as peers they might put eachother into CATEGORIES and make other children feel bad. That's why the 10 commandments don't need to be in school.

Internet Safety Project - Public or Private Profile

teenagers should set there social  networking sit to private becauase it more safe to do that then to not. One of my reasons are that there alot of people at there looking for vonurable people that the can try to kidnape. And another reasons is that you would be able to keep your information private so people can't read your post. My last reasons is that its just smarter to set it on private because you might put something on your social networking sit and somebody might read it that you did'nt know that have you didn't know can get on your social networking sit. But there still alot of other thing that go on in social networking sit that you can prevent by puting you page on private.

I would rather be smart than pretty because being smart can get you into collage and a good job. Another one of my reasons is that if i was pretty then people would just like me cuase am cute and not who I am. And if I was smart more people would respect me because I know more than them and I always like to be right. In the future i hope to be smart because I am going to be a doctor and I should be as smart as i can to do good at my job.
