Students should  have a longer school year. According to Huffing ton Spot, "American students have fallen behind the world academically (source link). This shows that the extra school days are needed so that students can catch up. This also shows that having longer summers does not benefit the fact that U.S students are academically behind. According to River Wood Center, "Everyone points to many states that have extended their school year and the results so far gained (source link). This shows that the results would at the end of the road. This also shows that other schools in the country are already doing this and are benefiting from it. In conclusion, students should have a longer school year.

Why would it be good to be honest?

Honesty is the key in life, we'll atleast I think it is. If you ever get cought in a life, people are not going to believe or trust you for a while. Even if the truthhurts or will have some kind of affect on you, its better to get it out the way and out your system. I feel bad when I lie, so I try not to lie or atleast not to tell bad lies. I hate people who lie because then you don't know whether they are lieing all the time and not being honest. Be honest, its the best.

Why do you think some people encourage others to smoke/drink?

In life there is stupid people whp just want to mess up others. They don't want to be alone and have company to smoke or drink with. Some people are smart enough to not get cought in the enfluence but some are not. Some think its cool but if you really think about it its a waste of time, and a waste of your life. I believe that drinking once in a while with a moderation is good but if you take it to far then you should probably think before you act. If you smoke, then you are plain out stupid because that messes up your lungs and can screw you up for life.

JCCS Academic Language Assessment Week 38 - Video Games

Video games should not be used in schools. According to Pamela Paul, "Here’s what I learned: At a certain level on Microwave, the music from the bar scene in Star Wars comes on. If I am at the front line when aliens descend to Earth, we’ll all be in trouble. Also, dealing opium in the South China Sea is more lucrative than trading in commodities. In short, I didn’t learn much of anything. My parents didn’t expect me to. I just had fun." (source link). This shows that all the kids learn is what happens at a certain level and what they have to do in order to ahieve the next level. This also shows that video games are not expected to help kids learn. According to Marcplamondon, "Another valid argument is not whether video games in classrooms could be beneficial or not but whether schools can even afford to put that type of technology into classrooms" (source link). This shows that not every student is going to benfit from having video games in schools, every kid leans a different way. This also shows that schools may not have the money to buy the all the equipment needed for the games and the games itself. In conlusion, video games should not be used in schools.

How do you feel when you have had a fight with your best friend?

When I do have fights with my best friends, I have no patience for other people. I feel incomplete without them both. I would feel bad cause I love them. I wouldn't like to put them through that position and I wouldn't like to be in that position either. I do everything with one of my bestfriends and I would feel like one fourth of me is gone, if I get in a fight with the other one than I would feel empty cause I see her in a daily basis. I love both my bestfriends and I want them with me with no type of arguements

Would you like to be famous? Why or why not? What would you like to be famous for?

The only way I would want to be famous was if I was a famous Engineer or personal trainer, or boxer. I wouldn't like to have any movie stars or singer role. I think that they do the most to try and get at the other famous people life's. It would be to much for me to handle and I think a personal trainer, Engineer or boxer would have fame but fame to that extreme. Paparazzi's this days know exactly where you live, go to the bathroom and go on vacation.

How do you feel when you want something very badly and you cannot have it? Why is this so important to have?

The wants... is most of the time something we can't have or get. Well it depends what it is... If its an object, thing, or person. You can work hard enough to get whatever thing or object you have. There's always that chance. If its a person, well then that is completely different. Its harder to get over if its a person cause well its not up to us whether we can get "it" or not.. Its up to them. You have to learn to live with what you have, and work for what you want. And if you can't get what you want. always be appreciative for what you do have.
