HW/A: Academic Language Written Assessment Week 29 4/4

I don' think that parents should face jail time because they didn't attend their kids conference. The reason why I think this is because sometimes parents can't make it to the conferences for very valid reasons. Maybe they couldn't make it because of their job? Or maybe they couldn't make it because their car broke down, and they couldn't be transferred by a tow truck.In general maybe the parents didn't have the resources. I think that schools should seek other things to do besides arresting parents for not being at conferences.

HW: Choices 32A Week 33 4/22

If I could fly whenever I wanted I would probably have so much fun. I would fly with birds and I would travel to other countries. Also I think it would make life easier since it would make chores and grocery shopping easier. Being able to fly would be something great for the environment too,because if I could fly I wouldn't need a car.

HW/A: Academic Language Written Assessment Week 30 4/11 (24 points)

Should schools eliminate D grades? In my opinion I don't think so. D grades are one step away from an F. F's are bad because they're like a zero D's at least are something but a zero. Initially students shouldn't be having bad grades in the first place so parent's need to interact with their kid and tell them that they need to work harder.Also, I think D grades help the student's compensate so that feel that having a D is better than an F.
