                     Should parents be allowed to be able to spank their kids?

       Parents should not be allowed to spank their child. There are other ways to discipline their child.

        One reason is parents could put their child in time out. For example my Tia Sophia put her child in time out and forgot that she did and she thought he was in his room playing with his toys. Another example is, parents could put them in the corner for discipline. For example, one of my other tia named Amanda put her sons in the corner for being bad and a few hours later she forgot about them, because she was watching her favorite TV show.

      Another reason why parents should not spank their child is that the parents could have a bad temper. One example is parents shouldn’t discipline in a bad temper. For example, my mom use to discipline my siblings and I when we would do something “wrong.”

   Some people say that children lie so they won’t get in trouble or get spanked and have bruises everywhere on them.

      Kids should get only on the butt with the hand and not anything else and it should teach them a lesson.

Students should be paid for having good grades, because it’s not easy to maintain grades. Grades are what students go to school for, students have to work hard. Plus I believe that they should be rewarded for their hard work. Teachers work hard to teach the students, the students work to understand and get the concepts. Teachers also get paid but students don’t, most students don’t think they should work hard because they don’t get a reward they will try.

I know that if I got paid for good grades, I would give 110 percent every day of the week. But it matters how good the grades are, so you can give them a certain amount of money. If you give a reward then kids will keep their grades up. I like to get a reward for doing good things so you do more for your classes, so you can get more rewarded. Money is a great prize for doing your work and actually trying.

                                           Should parents be allowed to spank their children?

            A hand flashing before your eyes, seeing your parents hand go up and down in the air, so many things going through your mind, what you all did wrong. I think parents should spank their kids but to a certain point on their kids.

            There so many other ways to discipline your kids than spanking. Parents’ can talk to their kids on what they did wrong and how to fix it instead. Parents can use so many other methods than spanking.

           Parents can overdue the limit and hit their kids too rough or taking out all their anger to the kid and make marks on them that shouldn’t be there. Kids can lose so many respects from their parents for hitting them the way they shouldn’t hit them or over during it and in an instance kid can lose respect that fast. Sometimes spanking or hitting your child can maybe go too far but at certain point you can spank your kids. But it’s better if you use another way than hitting your kids. It will be better if you will spank them on the butt with your hands nowhere else or with anything else just with your hands.

            Some people say that it’s the best method and its better. If you spank your kids but ten they don’t see the other ways you can discipline your children but parents just jump to conclusion to hitting their kids.

              Should teachers be allowed to carry guns in school? Teachers should carry guns in schools because; more criminals have guns and people who are stressed.

            The criminals who have guns could come into school and shoot. So teachers should be allowed to carry guns to protect their self and their students. The students and teachers won’t be afraid.

            There are a few students who are stressed. Students who are stressed are more likely to kill each other or their self .if a upset student comes to school upset and they get more upset then they could shoot ,

            Some people will say teachers shouldn’t be able to carry guns. They say that because teachers are just as crazy as criminals or stressed people.

Parents should be allowed to spank their children, but only the parents of the child cause that can cause some issues.

Cause if children don’t get spanked or disciplined he/she will be disobedient. But you don’t always have to be spanking your children because you can always ground them from things like TV, going out, phones. And to me when you spank them you should just use belts because, you don’t want bruise your loved ones.

            Discipline is a big factor in kids life shows them from right from wrongs so many other things. You should only discipline your kids when you know foreshore that they were in the wrong , cause if you do discipline your kids then you find out that they were in the right then you have a lot of explaining to do and start by saying you are sorry.

            Sometimes it is wrong to discipline your children because it could make them hate you if you discipline them too much for the little things. But overall you should show your children right from wrong because it will benefit them in the future and they will become a respectful adult!

   I don’t think teachers should have guns in classrooms because they get frustrated in an everyday basis. Teachers usually get mad at students during one day of work. Another reason is that teachers get exhausted and might lose their mind.

     For example Ms. Jennings gets frustrated at the end of the day, and that’s why she always gets mad at her 8^th period class. Another example is that mr.cabe gets exhausted from morning though after noon because he is always grouchy at the students.

    I think teachers and administers should not have any weapons concealed in class rooms or in campus.                  Only a fool would think that faculty should have weapons its dangerous because teachers and faculty go through a lot in a day of school.

Should boys and girls be in separate classes? Boys and girls should be in separate classes.

Students need to be able to focus on their education. For example, if boys and girls where in separate classes students would not have to worry if a person in a couple is not looking at another person.

The second reason that boys and girls should be in separate classes because if they have more focus then it will bring better grades. For example, students won’t have to worry about anything.

The third and final reason is why boys and girls should be in separate classes is that better grades brings higher expectations and brighter futures. For instance, students will be able to focus more on school and get there grades up.

Some people would say that there will be more drama if boys and girls are in separate classes but if were not in separate classes students will not pay attention.

It was a dark scary night and I was driving in the middle of nowhere. The rain and lighting going crazy, the rain splashing against the window shield. I started to get worried. I had no idea where I was at and did not know where the next gas station was at. My gas meter was on empty and I saw a house, so I pulled into the drive way. The house looked rotted and unusual, I knocked and no one answered.

            I knocked again and the door opened with a lady looking at me saying “What do you want!”

            I replied back with a nervous voice “My car ran out of gas and I don’t know where I am at, may I stay for the night, I’ll stay in the barn if you like?”

            “You can, just make sure you don’t touch that key in the barn!”

            I walked to the barn with a blanket, as I walked in the barn I saw the key by a mysterious door.

Carryings guns result in nothing but terrible outcomes. In the past couple of years we had seen nothing but “accidents shootings in schools” and making teachers carry guns in just plain ridiculous idea. There is no doubt in my mind that teacher’s carryings gun to school is an outrageousness idea because teachers are trained to teach not to shoot.

     First of all the only people that carry guns are criminals and authorities, most of the teachers on campus don’t have the courage to shoot someone especially a child, and there is no shame on that because we all know that teachers get emotional with their students. Guns were made to protect the people not to go around killing like there is no tomorrow.

     Secondly most teachers get under tremendous amount of stress and pressure which can result in a terrible tragedy if they had a gun in their position. There is not a single day in which teachers don’t get frustrated with a student and while teachers having a gun can provoke a tragedy such as students knowing where the gun is and taking it without the teacher knowing, or if someone grabs it without someone knowing and shooting it in an accident. 

     Finally the solution to all this tragedies that are happening at schools is not teachers carrying guns but to have more officers around campus which can definitely have a positive and better outcome. Having more police officers can have many advantages because teachers wouldn’t be worrying about a gun or anything the officers do, and officers are trained to do so teachers on the other hand are not. Carrying and shooting a gun is a job for an officer not a teacher, teachers job is to teach and help students with what they need. for all the reasons above there is no doubt in my mind that teachers should never have the right to carry a gun to school.

 The driving age should not raise to be 21 for a couple of reasons. The reasons includes responsibilities and emergencies.

            Some of the responsibilities that students have are jobs. When a student becomes around 16 or 17 years old they start to want a job and to have a job they need a car to get to work. As for school its practice for a sport or even going to class before or after school and parents don’t always want to drive their kids around.  A final reason for emergencies. An example of an emergency is teenagers are often left to take care of their younger sibling and say that something happens and they don’t have a phone and no one home and they need to take them to the emergency room or has a doctors’ appointment and their parent or guardian is at work, they can take them to wherever they need to go.

            Most people would agree that it would be more safe if they waited till 21 to drive but the real reason is you never know when something might happen.
