JCCS Academic Language Assessment Week 26

The purpose of carrying a concealed hand gun is usually for protection. In my opinion I don't think carrying guns should be something that just anyone can do. For example, there have been a lot of school shootings and most of them have been recent. This happened because the law of being able to buy a hand gun was established. If they are going to have this law then they should justify what type of person  is about be going around carrying a gun. Some people use it for protection and nothing else but accidents do happen so we should try to avoid them. Protection shouldn't only be a gun it could be pepper spray, a taser , or maze. This indicates that there are alternatives for defense.

HW: Choices 25A Week 25 2/25

If there was no television in the world I think that in some ways it would be a good thing for society. For the past years the invention of television has been a huge thing for us. It's something for entertainment and also something to inform us about the world. Television has good qualities to it but also some pretty bad ones. For example, a lot of kids spend their time inside watching television when they could be outside getting exercise. This results in overweight kids. Television is fun but it can be bad so in my opinion television is a good thing but it should not be used often.

JCCS Academic Language Assessment Week 22

Should felons be allowed to vote? I don't think so. Felons are in jail for a reason they either stole killed or even raped. I don't think that people like that should be having the privilege to vote. It is a right but for felons it should be a privilege. The crimes they committed should be a way whether let them vote or not. If they committed that's just minor then they should be able to vote this would only be relevant to do. If they committed something bug like murder or rape then the right should be taken away. Letting felons vote would help be the source of bad presidents. These rules would be something complex to do but it would be affective.

JCCS Academic Language Assessment Week 24 - Online Learning

In my opinion online learning could be a good way to pas or graduate a class or school, but only for certain people. For example, it could be because they live in a very rural areas. This means that getting to school might be a had task. This differentiates if the kid or adult lived in a normal populated place then going to school is easier so they can get education through a classroom. This form of getting an education might be good in some ways but in some ways it can be bad because the student might have some difficulties with the program o the lesson and they might need some clarification from their teacher. This will be difficult because their teacher will not give them one-one attention. This type of learning has some upsides but also some down sides.

HW/A: Academic Language Written Assessment Week

Should dog fighting be illegal? I think it should. Dog fighting is a form of animal cruelty and it is not fair for the animal since it can't speak for itself. The way dog fighting is done is by first trainig the dogs since they were  pups and what they to them is horrible. First they use other dogs as what is called bait, they cut off their ears and the other dogs get attracted to their blood and that makes them fight. Most of the time the bait dogs are killed in this process. The bait dog has a distinct smell and thats what drives the other dogs mad. This should be illegal because whe can't let this happen to poor innocent dogs that have so much potential in life. Whe need to stop this since it could be the formula for disaster.

HW: Choices 21C Week 21 2/1

The idea of a dull evening is something that I don't like but i usually have because a dull evening is something that happens very often with me. A dull evening is usually when I don't have anything to do and when I don't have anything i get very bored. I usually after school  go to basketball practice and that keeps me very busy. When there is no basketball practice I have don't have anything to do since my house is not very entertaining. Dull evenings don't usually go by fast either they drag on!

HW: Choices 22A Week 21 2/4 (4 points)

The worst thing a parent can do to their child is abusing them. When I say abusing this includes incest or hitting. These are horrible things that you could to any human being,  especially your own child. Abuse can happen when the parent gets frustrated with their kid, or they simply just feel the need to hit or abuse, and in some situations they even think it's okay. This is obviously not okay because in a way you are ruining your child's life. If a child is abused when they are very young they will most likely grow up to have emotional problems such as anger management, anxiety, and insecurities. Parents should not be harming their child or abusing them they should be the ones protecting them.

HW/A: Academic Language Written Assessment Week 21 1/31

Traditionally performance enhancing drugs is used by big athletes like football to get more build and power so that they can do better in the field. In my opinion I don't think performance enhancing drugs like steroids should not be used by any athletes. Athletes should primarily think twice before trying steroids or any other drugs that would make them bigger or faster because these drugs usually have horrible side effects. These usually include mood swings or problems with the brain. This ruins your personal life and I think that's more important than getting bigger. These drugs can really mess you up and not only is it for a little while but it could be for a long period of time.
