Are sweatshops a violation of human rights? In my opinion I think sweatshops are a violation of human rights for the following reasons: sweatshops don't have a contract saying that they will have medical insurance so if they were to lose an arm they wouldn't be covered. My second reason is that usually they would have kids working on these shops, so not only does this apply to adults but also children as well. And last but not least, it is bad labor. The workers don't get paid well enough for what their doing and they are probably not treated like they should be treated.

In my opinion I don't think teachers should eliminate D grades. I think a letter D grade is a way for teachers to compensate so that the student will see that they're not failing but they still need to improve in their grade. Also, the initial problem is that students are failing in their classes so the D grade keeps them from failing so easily, it gives them more time to improve in their work so that that D turns into a C. In conclusion, I don't think the D grade should be eliminated, teachers should just interact with the student and help them raise their grade up.
