Academic Language Week 37 - Unhealthy Meal Choices

The fast food industry should not be allowed to target kids with unhealthy meal choices. One reason is because they use the THEORY of putting toys and playgrounds in their restaurants, they use a toy for every kids meal. Another reason is because most children eat three houndred calories or more in one meal, the calories they eat in one kids meal should not be SIMILAR to the amount of calories they should be taking in, in a day. Additionally, McDonalds, Burger King, etc. are America's top weight gaining fast food restaurants, America is number 1 in the weight gaining SECTION. In conclusion kids should not be a target of the fast food restaurants.

SPA Policy Blog Paragraph

One policy that I wish could be changed is have internet in the cumputers that we have in our rooms. Currently, this policy says that we can have computers in our rooms, but with out internet. One reason it should be changed is because we need computers to do our homework. Also, most of the time kids in SPA don't have anything to do because they re in the middle of no where, and they can't go on outings because their in 2-hour. If the SPA derictor does not put internet in our rooms is to stop us from going into some bad websites, they can simply block the websites in the internet. If this policy was changed, I would spend more time in my room doing my homework and makeing up late work.

Academic Language Week 33 - American Students

Cell phones should be allowed in schools. One reason is because many students can PERSUADE their teachers to allow them to use their cell phones during free time or when they need a calculater, and it comes in handy. Another reason is because most principals let their students use their phones in lunch or passing period, many teachers CRITIQUE the principals for letting the students use their phones because they think they'll do something thats not right with it but the students now in days are more mature. Additionally, the CONTRAST between having students with and with out phones is a big difference, most students do their work if the teacher knows how to handel the situation.
