cheating is a very bad thing to do. In " cheating -- a classroom epidemic it says that "200 schools from across the nation which have come together in a common effort to develop effective academic integrity programs." i think that cheating is not that good you can get into a lot of trouble.

Homework is not always a bad thing but some kids stress on homework if they don't get it. In "Starting from behind : community college create pathways to assist students who aren't prepared for the work." It says that the National and Science Initiative 45 percent of the u.s. high school graduates in 2011 were prepared to handle college math courses. 30 percent were prepared for college science. I think this helps them learn that doing homework really helps kids learn that in college you get tougher homework. That you will get more to teach people what they need they need to learn in life and why we need to give people homework .

Cyberbullying that can lead to teen or children killing themselves. In CyberBullying ties school, student in legal knots. It says that in October 12 year old Rebecca sedwick of Lakeland, Fla., jumped to her death at a cement factory after enduring more than a year’s worth of online attacks via text messages. Two girls were arrested and faced criminal charges, but the charges were dropped. A similar plea aired in Missouri in 2007 when Megan Meier hanged herself after a friend and her mother bullied her on myspace. I think this is horrible to bully people because when they kill themselves you feel so bad for bullying them and you think of what you could have done different. I wish that people would not bully it is not right just because you don’t like someone doesn't mean you should bully them. We should set a program for bullying.

Cheating is not a good thing to do in school you can get in really big trouble if you get caught cheating. If you get get caught you can probably get expelled or suspended. In cheating -- a classroom epidemic. It says that American High School student, 80 percent of the country's best high school seniors cheated in their attempts to get to the top of the class. I think that if you want to get to the top of your class you should just study and do things that will help your school. You should try out for program to help or have a study group to help people study for a test them cheat. I think it is better to study than to cheat cause it not good to cheat and you can get in big trouble. Cheating should be stopped in all countries they should have a program that helps people study for test’s.

Distracted driving happens more with teens now a days than with adults. I think this because teens are on their phones texting and talking on the phone and they are not paying attention to the road that are paying more attention to their phones. In Distracted driving: stay focused when on the road. It says that distracted driving-related crashes caused at least 5,500 deaths and nearly 450,000 injuries in 2009, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. Distracted driving causes a lot of crashes and their are many people not paying attention to the roads. I think that people should put their phones on silent when they are the road so that they don’t causes crashes and people end up dying or being injured because they were not paying attention to the road.

Cyber Bullying and bullying happens in a lot of schools. Many schools have a lot of anti-bullying programs. In the Cyber bullying ties school student in legal Knots. It says that media lobby for strict anti-bullying, especially those that deal with online bullying. The anti-bullying law was written after the meier case were found unconstitutional in 2012 for being too broad and violating free speech. I think bully going on outside and inside schools. People can really hurt their feelings by bullying them in schools and outside of schools. Bullying really need’s to stop in school’s. A lot of people kill themselves from being bullied. School programs are not really helping bullying stop the bullying. People are still bullying we should have a program that people go to every week that talks about bullying and cyber bullying.

School uniforms improve people behavior. I think that school uniforms improve people's behavior because they don’t have to worry about what they look like if everyone is were the same clothes. In the study of Lee Jolley, Leigh Southward and Melinda Swafford is that “ their findings indicate that students uniforms have no direct effect on substance abuse, behavioral problems, school safety, school attendance, or academic achievements.” School uniforms help people to not worry about judging people of what they are wearing. I think we would still have problems in school because some people will behave different because everyone is wearing the same thing. But i think school uniforms are a good thing because people don’t have to worry how people judge their looks. People would have a better education then worry about how they look in a certain outfit.

I think that we should not banned books cause they have good education to learn about different kinds of books in our literature classes. "The government should not restrict books from being published or interfere into personal affairs as this is an infringement of the First Amendment." They government shouldn't banned books cause the people have the right to read what they want and know one should have the say what people read.
