Yes, yes. People use electronic devices while driving and end up in an accident. The usual stuff. Distracted driving is actually has some semblence with drunk driving but only one has a rather strict law and quite the fine to be paid. Also drunk driving laws are consistently on the rise but what of distracted driving? Distracted driving laws are rarely being followed because there's not a cop over there...is that a cop? Main point to be said is that distracted driving is drunk driving or somewhat close to it anyway.

Hi, Heather! :D

Seriously now, I can see both sides or rather that uniforms do improve behavior among students but they also infringe on our rights. I feel as though I should pick on a few things you wrote about because I am disputing. :)

On the point of young men being distracted...according to my logic wouldn't young men, for the lack of a better word, 'crave' for young ladies in different outfits? And young men 'focusing' on school work there's a drawback and it's that there's always the possibilty of imagining such and such. Which may encourage, again for the lack of a better word, after-school activities whereas they are not required the uniform and BOOM there's a pregnant teenager.

This one doesn't really have a source that can be cited but it does offer a different point of view.

Austin, first of all, you sound like you're arguing with yourself than anything. Otherwise I'm reading this completely wrong. Second, as reiteration from Shae's dispute, even with education there is always a handful of rebels that just quickly hide devices in use. Still I do agree with you on the point that a role model is effective but it's not entirely drastic. Last of all, who would really trust a teenager?

In the quickly approaching years to come, technology serves as one of the most distracting devices to use while driving. Technology such as the Google Glass, Galaxy Gear smartwatch, or that Nike+ Fuelband that lights up and cries for your attention can be quite the distraction. Even if the device is hands-free it's still takes the mind of the road! The only problem I see is that people need to use these devices responsibly. They need to use such devices in alternative situations and/or areas than driving. Technology would be the death of the human if we would continue to ignore the labels/directions.

This moral decline also comes from role models or classmates/peers. They can even be the teacher/educator! Educators, from my view, that are close to retirement seem to be much more relaxed and will let students advance quite easily by changing test scores! Our educators are people too and they must have cheated at one point! At anything! Even though it's not an entirely credible source, I have seen a teacher accept a plagiarized paper. A much more credible source to support my opinion is:

I am honestly on the fence with this but eventually one side won me over. Why? I found that homework is actually a tool to build responsbility, which is why I was on the fence, and that is also my opinion. Looking toward the future of big, high-paying jobs maybe in advertising, agricultural, or technological industries there will possibly be a lot of paperwork and projects due on specific dates. Looking at this from a distance, it seems homework depends on the student 20-30 years later. I got to thinking this way because of this article:

Students need the right to choose because some banned books are good books! According to American Library Association, a banned book is a book that has been removed from the shelf of a library/school. A challenged book is a book that should be removed, but hasn't been removed from the shelves of a library/school.

We do have our rights as citizens of the U.S. and I question who is banning/challenging these books? Most likely the parents. Not all of them though, most likely the ones that are overprotective and maybe sheltered as a kid. The reason they may want to keep such books away is because there are things that they don't want their children find out until they're old enough.
