Academic Language Week 32 - Exit Exam

A high school should have to pass a high school exit exam in order to earn a high school diploma. One reason is that in society when you grow older you should know the basic and standard things that every else knows so you can get a high paying job. Another reason is to distribute the right jobs to people so that a person without basic skills does not end up somewhere high in power. Additionally, If you are in high school and you want to obtain a good job which may vary instead of being stuck with one option you should get your diploma.

Academic Language Week 31 - Teen Vandals

Parents of teen vandals should not be held responsible for their child's damage because it is an extremely negative way to teach the child a lesson, teens vandals need to learn their own lesson and be responsible for their own actions, not their parents. Another reason is because teen vandal can ACHIEVE a better way of controlling their actions if they are the ones that take on the heat of what they are doing. Also, SPECIFIC types of parenting should not be punished because there are parents who try their best to raise their kid right and keep them out o trouble but their kid just consistanly stay in trouble and the parents are the one who has to pay the price, it isn't fair. Last but not least, teens that have to pay for their damage will learn how to COMPUTE their budget and learn how money is involved with everything and how you don't want to waste it by doing stupid stuff like vandalism. So in conclusion, parents of teen vandals should not have to be responsible for their child's damage because in all, it will help the teen if the teen takes on the responsiblity for themselves.

Spring Break Blog Paragraph

During Spring Break, my mood was mainly lonely because my girlfriend "AWOL"ed  from San Pasqual Academy. She ran away on Easter Sunday and she did not even tell me she was leaving until when she left. So when she left my entire mood was lonely because I longed for her and she was not there. Also because when ever I needed to talk to her, I was not able to until she was ready and usually I'm able to talk to her when I need to but when she left I get to talk to her on her schedule. Another reason is that as a guy I need to have a girl somewhere where I can talk to her, but when my girlfriend left I did not have her to talk to or even sit in silence with, so I have been trying to meet my needs by talking to multiple females. I did this because I needed to have that empty void that was filled but is not empty to be filled again. So in conclusion, my mood was lonely during Spring Break.

Academic Language Week 30 - "D" Grades

"D" grades, should they even have the honor to be called a grade? I think not, "D" grades should be eliminated from school grading because it provides enough COMPENSATION to the students that think they do not have to apply themselves. It is a lazy way of passing and as a matter of fact, it is not really passing, it is the bridge between passing and failing. Also it is irrelevant for teachers to give "D" grades to students that do not put effort into their own grade. Another reason is because if INITIALLY the student starts the year with no "D" grades being availiable, then the student will create a habit of either earning "F" and below grades or "C" and above grades. For example, Shanika went to a middle school where "D" grades were not acceptable and she feels good that she now has the habit of working for good grades. Also if the bar of expectation is risen then the bar of passing students will to because students will INTERACT with the teacher so that they can not fail. So in conclusion, "D" grades should be eliminated from school grading.
