Middle school lockers

By Juan

Middle school lockers should be at school. Because for you can keep your stuff in side your locker. And after school you can put your basketball clothes.

We should have lockers because we will have room for our stuff then there is a less chance of being vandalized with lockers. Lockers will also get us organized and tidy. Lockers are needed in school for room to put your stuff in and for neat and tidiness I recommend lockers for schools cause they will improve your schools allot

School lockers

By Richard

School Lockers should be at all middle schools. If students change class to class then lockers should be permitted. Lockers can fit more books than a backpack anddoen't put a lot of preasure on students' backs. Lockers help students be creative by allowing then to tape pictures or drawing to the inside of the locker. Students should have lockers to keep every thing in one place instead of it being scatterd across the school in teachers' rooms. Many middle schools have lockers and very little don't. Schools should find the money to install lockers. Students Deserve to have lockers and put Their books inside them.

Middle school should have lockers

By Alondra

I have to say yes because some kids want to have their own privacy in their lockers. In my

School we use to have them. But since kids never use them they had to take them off. In high school they have the lockers. A backpack is Way to heavy to carry but a locker is way easier. I don't agree with the principal because with out lockers I wouldn't be safe . I wouldn't be safe because if lose a book from school I will get in trouble.

Lockers

By Aman

Should middle schools have student lockers? I say yes put our stuff in it. Lockers should be allowed for middle school. High school has lockers but why don't we.

School time

By Abi

School should not be 10 month and 2 months of summer vacation. School should be three weeks of school and three weeks of day of. If we has 2 months of summer vacation we can loose our memory about school work. So we can work hard for three weeks and have three weeks to chill. My school should do the same thing.

Penny is awesome

By Juan

They should keep pennies because for tips. And for charity for they can give it homeless people. Taking a penny is like take my house. If you have 75 cents and the thing you want is 76 cents you have to give person 5 more cents and you don't get your 4 cents back and I want my 4 cent back. So they should keep the pennies.

Pennies today

By Rene

Pennies should not be banned because we need pennies in case of
taxes. Penny's are important because home less people mite need
penny's to buy little pieces of candy. The penny has a picture of the
16^th president on it. Just to tell you the 16^th president is Abraham
Lincoln. Abraham is one of my most favorite presidents. That is why
that they should not take out the penny.

Jonathan’s Opinions: Should pennies be banned

By Jonathan

Pennies should not be banned. No way. They symbolize Abraham Lincoln. I mean they may be worth one cent, but that doesn't mean we should ban them. The penny is unique. It is probably the only form of money worth one percent of a bill. It is an important symbol.

No, we should not get rid of the penny.

The use of the penny

By Aaron

The penny is a very important thing. You might not believe it but it is. I dislike when people say "Oh the penny is so old. or that a penny cant buy any thing." But actually the penny can buy some thing. Ok say that your in Mickey d's and you want to buy a big mac or something and you're a penny short. Then here comes the penny to the rescue!!!!!! But you under stand what I mean. Don't you?

The United States should NOT end the use of the penny

By Cindy

The United States should not end the penny because the penny has been here for a long time now. Also people still use the penny and Abraham Lincoln is on that penny. The penny kind of represents him for all the good things he did that's why he is on the penny. They should not end the use of the penny also because how can we have money with out the penny. Without the penny it will only be the dimes, nickels, and quarters and it will be different when you buy somethings.

Should the USA end its use of the US penny?

By Celia

The USA should not end its use of the U.S. penny. They should not get rid of the penny because if you give the casher 1.00 and your change is 4 cents how do you get 4 cents. The penny is the only 1 cent piece of a dollar bill. The penny also symbolizes Abraham Lincoln. Without the penny the economy will be affected. Don't end the use of the U.S. penny.

Our Pennies

By Daisie

Pennies are needed so they shouldn't get rid of them .when you get change back all numbers aren't equal so they should keep them. They should maybe change the color of the penny though maybe to gold or something. If its $3.06 and you give them that with a dime they need to give you four cents which is four pennies.

The penny is important in stores and for the people buying the stuff. When people see pennies on the ground they don't want to pick them up but if it's a quarter they pick it up but people need them. Pennies are not that awesome but we need them .

Our Pennies

By Dylan

United States shouldn't get rid of the penny. You shouldn't get rid of them because it's already part of the United States. Also if you don't want the pennies think of other kids or homeless people that might need them. You can also give them to a charity or homeless shelter or kids in need. Taking away the penny would be like taking away The American Flag. You can use pennies for lots of things like tips, wishing wells, and lots of other things. That's why you shouldn't take away the penny.

Pennies

By Nicholas

The USA penny should go on. Because if someone needed to buy a bag of chips for .99 Cents. And the clerk couldn't give you cash back then what are you going to do. You can't do anything. That is why pennies should not be banned.

The penny

By Matt

the united states penny shold not be ended because it help you pay for stuff. also if you need three cents, no other united states coin can do that. If you need two cents back they will have to give you two pennies. THE PENNY also has the 16^th president aberham lincoln. Finally a lot of people say the penny is good luck

Should The United States Stop Use Of The Penny

By Kalen

The United States should continue use of the penny. If you have a bag of chips that cost $1.09 and you give them a dollar and a dime your change would be a penny. Most people will say that it is just a penny and they don't need it. They are right it may just be a penny but it is also a part of American History. Pennies have been around for many years and if they are gone it might effect some people who use it. There are these penny press machines that take a penny and turn it into a design, the people who own those will lose money. The penny affects many people in the U.S.A and helps them too, so don't get rid of the penny.

How the U.S SHOULDN’T end its use of the penny.

By Estefany

The United States of America make a lot of coins everyday. They usually make dimes, nickels, quarters, and of course, pennies. Pennies are very important like for example, if someone didn't have change, they would have to change the money for dollar bills and coins. They made the penny because of Abraham Lincoln. He was very important for his bravery against slavery. He was born on February 12, 1809 and died on April 15, 1865 aged 56.

The U.S shouldn't end its use of the penny because the penny is very important and without it, there wouldn't be any change for money. There would only be nickels, dimes, and quarters. We all know that Abraham Lincoln, because of its slavery, they put him on a penny and we shouldn't just end it for nothing.

Middle schools should have student lockers.

By Sean

Yes middle school students should have lockers so they don't have to carry their immense books around .Also because kids wouldn't have to go throw there backpacks to find things.

Pennies are important

By Juliann

The United States shouldn't end its use of the penny. Well it does take one hundred pennies to make a dollar. But sometimes your tax could be $12.1,then you would have to pay with a nickel. If you didn't want change back well then you would have to get change back.

When you get attached to an animal you don't want it to die, or you don't want your parents to sell the animal. Well I got attached to it a little bit. So I wouldn't want something to be taken away from me, when its been around for a long time.

The United States should end its use of the penny

By Gisel

If they got rid of pennies that would be the dumbest thing to do because pennies or the key too. Stores sell stuff for uneven prices. So if they bought something with an uneven price customer would have to use the penny. Also if you buy something you have to pay tax so it would be uneven anyways. Even if you gave a dime or quarter they have to give your change.

But there is an also bad thing that people don't like. We humans think they penny is not worth anything. I see pennies in the ground all the time because people don't want it and live it homeless. Customers always get pennies even if they don't want it. We should help those pennies find a home sooner or later before they die.

The penny

By Evan

The united states should not get rid of the penny. Because with out the penny Abraham Lincoln's name will not be remembered. Also with out the penny what will you use if you need change. Copper was used to make the penny who would let a good mineral go to waste. Pennies rock don't be a penny hater.

The U.S Shouldn’t Get Rid of Penny Use

By Damaris

The U.S shouldn't get rid of using the penny. If they get rid of the penny use it won't be good. The penny has our 16 president on the front. Pennies are used in many ways. They are used for change, for giving if you don't have a nickel or a dime.

Abraham Lincoln spoke against slavery. Wouldn't you like to see his face on a penny still? I would. They should not get rid of pennies like they don't get rid of nickels or quarters or dimes.

Penny or no penny

By Daniell

No they should not banned the penny. Because you would have to buy every thing in fives. Witch would probably make things harder. like if a thing was twelve dollars they would have to make the price higher. So it would be a lot easer to have a penny. Plus the penny has our first precedent on it. I hope they never banned the penny and I don't see why they would. all so it has a lot of value not because how much it is worth but because it can do a good job for us.

Penny

By David M.

No the penny should not be band from the USA. The penny should not be band because the penny has a lot of value to it. One penny is worth 100 dollars in stad of just one cent. It also hade one of are precedent on it. Also if you are in a story you would have to use five cent's in stad of one. That why the penny should not be band from the USA.

Pennies

By ben Luna

Pennies should be kept because pennies remind you of Abraham Lincoln. They also complete your dollar if you have 99 cents 1 penny can complete it. Also pennies help you pay the extras like taxes and also you can put pennies into all the fundraising like for a cancer. Pennies also are a good thing they should never be banned forgotten or lost. Pennies are awesome don't ever think about leaving pennies behind.

Penny attack

By Richard B.

The United States should not end use of pennys. Pennys might be old and cheap but since a long time ago pennys became part of history. Penny help give u the exact chang thet you need,Nobody wants to loose money even if its three or four cents.The united states sound't stop the use of pennys because of their history. Abraham Lincoln should be remembered. What better why to remember the 16^th president than having honest Abe on a copper coin? We should all admire the penny.

Pennies

By Amandeep

Should The United States end its use of the penny? They shouldn't end the penny it has Lincoln on it. The penny has been here for a really long time even before I was born.
The United States shouldn't do that it part of are nation.

School time

by Abi

Violent video game

by Rene V

YES! Violent video games should be banned because they are violent. But they can affect your body motion. People will probably do what they see. It can also affect your grades in school.

Violent Games

By Evan

Violent video games should be allowed. Because some people whould like to see a good car jack. Also people whould like to save the world from zombies. Some people like sean gets sick of all those racing games. All video games should be a little violent but not that all violent.

These are some games I find violent. Here they are left 4 dead resident evil and mortal combat .Violent video games are awesome now that's a fact.

Video game VIOLANCE

by Daisie

Game violence should be allowed, well used at home and stuff. The world would BORINGLY suck and there would be no excitement! Kids would have absolutely no lives and they would no it! They wouldn't no ways of life of killing stabbing and many other stuff. They would have no ABSOULUTLY no imaginations.

Should violent video games be allowed?

by Cindy

Violent video games should be banned because if you play there might be a kid there and the kid might end up doing that. Also if it's really scary you might end up getting night mares and end up doing what you saw on the game. If you keep playing video games you might get addicted to it and never stop playing those games. Also you can end up doing what you saw on it and end up in the hospital. Some video games are really violent maybe kids should only play none violent games instead of violent games. If you don't like it you can do something else instead of video games.

Should violent video games be banned?

By Celia

Violent video games should be banned. I think that violent video games should be banned because they teach kids violent stuff that they don't need to know that stuff yet. I think that little kids [like kids 12 and under] should not be playing stuff like that. Teens I think should be able to play violent games. Teens would have to be mature enough to play violent games. That is my opinion of violent games being banned.

Violent Video Games

By Dylan

Violent video games shouldn't be banned unless they make kids copy them and shoot someone or jack a car or something like that. Some kids know that it's wrong to do that so they don't do it. So violent video games should only be taken away from some kids. Kids also love to play video games especially those kinds of games. Video games are kind of boring without any violence. Some kids play outside a lot and some kids look forward to coming home after school or playing outside.

Violent games should be banned

By Alondra

Violent games should be banned because students can do the same thing as in the game. It's to dangerous because if they do something wrong in the real world you can go to jail. Those kind of games can make you so violent. If you play those kind the games you can end up killing someone.

If kids play those games very day they wont stop. I believe that if games are ban everybody's live would better.

Violent games should be banned!

How Violent Video Games SHOULD Be Banned

By Estefany

Violent video games lead to REAL injuries. They can cause actions that shouldn't be made whether you're in school, home, or even in public. For example, my little cousin almost did something that shouldn't have been done. Why? Well, because he plays a familiar game to all boys called CALL OF DUTY: BLACK OPS or other CALL OF DUTY games. I know this because this has happened, believe me.

They shouldn't be allowed because some boys lose control with a violent game and get mad if they lose by just killing a guy or something like that. If they DID allow violent video games, those people that play those kinds of games will probably end up doing something violent, and they won't stop. I believe that this WON'T happen if they ban violent video games. I hope that someday when the guys who made violent video games, realize that they're making a bad influence to all of those people who play it and ban them FOREVER.

Violent video games should be banned

By Gisel

Violent video games shouldn't be banned because without violence where is the fun in it. Kids wouldn't know the way of life. Also kids would be
dumb, boring, not
playful, ungiving, and they would be freaks. Kids wouldn't make friends because they are what I listed above. They would never be in a relationship because they are boring weirdos.Violent games should never be banned.
JJJJJ

Violent games

By Seth

No, Violent video games shouldn't be banned. they are fun and people play them a lot. Pretty much all of the fun games are killing games.

Violent video games

By Abi

hey should be allowed because if kids want to they have a right to play it. It's a free state if we want to play violent games we can play it. I have a lot of violent games and I play them sometimes. Just try not to do the things in the game if it can hurt someone or kill any body. Just try not to play them to much.

Banned violent video games

By Damaris

Violent video games should be banned. They should be banned because it shows children too many bad things. They'll grow up with the habit of violence. Many children grow up killing because their parents buy them those kinds of games. Many asasins you see are mostly grown men ,but where do you think they get it from? They get it from violent video games. They are in danger ,so is the world.

Avoid violent video games!

Violent video games

By Nicholas

Violent video games should be allowed. Because there is already violence in the world. And because it is just a video game. Parents say it is a bad influence but what is the harm in a simple video game.

Untitled

By david p

Violent video games should be allowed at home . there should be bounders

School’s vendors

By daniell

Yea vendors should be allowed at school. but the un healthy food should be once a week. The healthy food should be three times a week. the school food will be once a week.

The reason there should be vendors is so it could help. That way we could go skiing and more.

UNTITLED

By Matthew

Violent video games shouldn't be banned unless they effect someone school work. Like If kids say there done and there not it can come back to bite them. It would also help if the parents checked the kids homework. Also they should be banned at shcools

VIOLENT VIDEO GAMES

By Ben

violent video games should not be banned because big kids love violence and without violent video games kids will try to create video games and will forget about school and focus on making a video game this will affect kids in school and will not pass school but also sometimes violent video games make kids think violence and will hurt other kids with the violence they see in violent video games this affectes kids a lot to . so we should keep the violent video games but not let kides under age play them

Video games’ violence

By Richard

Violent video games should be banned and only played on by adults. Violent video games should be played at a famous store like Wall-Mart. Violent video games teach young kids to hurt themselves or someone else. Many young kids play violent video games. Many kids these days play a lot of different video games some are alright but others or really graphic and show a lot of terrible things. Much violence that kids see are on video games or on television. By letting only adults play violence will let kids focus on school. Violence make kids forget what they learned in school. Video games that have a lot of blood or stunts should also be banned. Only games that don't show a lot of violence should to allowed.

Killer games

By Amandeep

Every game needs a little violation in it. Most of every game has a tiny bit of violation in it and blood. So I would allow violent video games some of them, most of them just freak me out. If people didn't play it at school it would be ok and understanding .
So yes if they decided not to play at school or just at home.

The action of violence

By AARON

Violent video games should not be banned because do you

Really want to hear 'Oh I played the new pokemon it was so cool.'

Because I like a lot of action and blood in my games and really cool Graphics

Because I really don't want to hear 'I just beat the new dragon ball z on

DS or I beat the new pokemon on DS. Those are just stupid. Like really what kind of name is pokemon or dragon ball z?

So violent games should not be banned .

Food vendors

By Kalen

Outside food vendors are not necessary. Vendors are not healthy most of the time. Schools need to make better lunches not to bring in vendors. Most vendors just want your money. Schools need to make home cooked lunches not caned food and byproducts. Vendors are not necessary in middle school.

Cellular phones should be allowed in schools

By Sean

Cell phones should be allowed in school for emergences and during break but be taken away if used in class. Also you should have to turn it off in class . You should also not have a ringer at school .

Also cell phones should not be allowed at school because people can text each other answers . That is why and why not cell phones should be allowed in school .

YUMMY

By Sean

Vendors should be allowed in school three days a week. The other two days should be something healthy ,like salad or fruit . When the venders come it should be cheap .Also you should not have to get food from the venders . You should be able to bring food from home .

Jonathan’s opinions: should vendors be allowed at lunch time

Vendors shouldn't be allowed in school. Everybody would buy their food everyday. There would be problems with obesity.

The school would have to stop school lunches. They would barely sell any food. While the vendors sell their food like hot cakes.

Vendors at school is not a good idea.

School’s vendors

By Daniell

Yea vendors should be allowed at school. but the un healthy food should be once a week. The healthy food should be three times a week. the school food will be once a week.

The reason there should be vendors is so it could help. That way we could go skiing and more.

How Middle Schools Should Allow Vendors Outside At School

By Estefany

Cafeterias give out the same, old boring food every school day. We should get something from vendors outside. Maybe like a hotdog vendor, a taco vendor, or maybe even a hamburger with french fries vendor. That would be a better than just eating the same food at school everyday.

We should have school vendors because we just can't have the same food again and again. Maybe for like every week, we could have a different vendor. For example, the hotdog vendor could be in Monday, the taco vendor could be in the following week but on Wednesday, and the hamburger with French fries could be on Friday in the next week.

For me, that's the best solution I could ever think of instead of just eating a piece of chicken every 2 days or so. Hotdogs, hamburgers with french fries, and tacos would be better.

Outside food vendors in school

By Juan

Outside vendors should be at some school. They should only once a week. Its ok but most of the food in the cafeteria is discussing. So we can get outside food a little bitt. But we don't want to get to much because we don't want to get fat.

Schools allowing outside vendors?

By Ben

Vendors should be allowed at school every Monday and Friday .but not every day because it's really not that healthy. But that would be very cool to have vendor like mc Donald's and carls jr. And an in and out. But if we had venders every day in the cafeteria almost all the kids would be obese and that is not OK.

Outside Food Vendors in Schools

By Dylan

Outside food vendors in schools should only be allowed in some schools. They should only be allowed in certain schools because some schools have really bad lunches. But then if you have outside vendors every day kids will start getting fat. So schools should only have outside vendors either once or twice a week. But also they need to have some good vendors outside.

Wednesday, November 16, 2011

From Seth

Cellular phones should be allowed in schools because people might need to call their parents. Another thing about cellphones is that people like phones. Other people might need to use other people's cellphones. Some peoples moms make their kids take cellphones in case of emergency. Some schools don't let kids take them to school.

Evan’s Opinion

Cellular phones should be allowed at school. Because what if you are at the field and your leg is broken and no one is there to help. But some kids will underestimate the power of bring the phones to school. They can call their parents and tell them to bring them home. So I think students should bring their phones to school not all the time.

From Amandeep

Cellular phones should be allowed in schools. Yes they should be allowed in schools because what happens if there is an emergence. Also no because they can call other people or text and play games. I mostly think yes because if something happens like a fire someone will help you. That's what I think they should have cellular phones.

Daisie’s Thoughts

Cellular phones should but shouldn't be allowed in school because some people might cheat by sending each other messages. That doesn't have to happen they can take the phone away while taking tests then given back. If there's a emergency they should call you instead of telling people you don't want to know. Instead of wasting money on clickers and everything you can use the phone you use to text your friends and every thing .you wont have to spend time learning how to use it because you will already know.

Also it will be much quieter because we will text our friends. We will like
school more because we can
communicate with our friends!

So please let us use cell phones in school!JL

Cindy’s Opinion

No and yes, no because kids might go on something inappropriate and yes because there might be an imergance. There might be something that happened to a kid and they can not call the parents. Also no because kids can go on website's and look at something bad. Also the kids might play on it during class and the teacher might take it away. The cell phones only be allowed if kids promise not to play on it and only use it for imergance's.

Abi’s Thought

Cell phones should not be allowed in school because they can be distracting in class. People can text in class and not pay attention and focus in class. You can only use it after school and maybe at free times when the teacher lets you use it . you can get you phone stolen and waste you parents money or yours . phones can lead bullies picking on you .

You can use it to text your friends but not in class!

From Rene

Cellular phones should be allowed in schools because in case of imergence. Anther thing is that if they need to call a parent. But they should not call each other students. If they us it in class and a teacher sees you they should take it away until the end of the day.

Celia’s Thoughts

Cellular phones should be allowed in school in case of an emergence. If there was a fire and the phones in the school where not working we would not be able to call the office for help. Also if a kid needs to call his or her mom, and the office phone does not work he shou7ld be able to call his or her mom with their cell phone. They might not remember their moms phone number, and the number will be on their phone.

Cellular phones should not be aloud is school because they might use the phone for something else. For example they might use it to text people during class time. They also might use it tom call their parents to come pick them up.

Teachers should keep the kids cellular phones. They would only give it to them when they needed it or at the end of the day.

David P’s Opinion

Cell phone should not be at school. Because if your cell phone makes a noise all of the kids will be distracted. And students need to learn not texting.

And if students on there cell phone all day then there not going to know what

Going on. They could text answers to each other.

Dylan’s Ideas

Cellphones shouldn't be allowed in school. They shouldn't because kids might get distracted by them. Kids might take it out in the middle of class to show their friends or to text someone or something. Then if you get caught you might get your phone taken away for a long time. Then your parents are going to get mad and parents are going to come down to the school.

Also because your phone might go off in class and distract everyone else. And phones make a lot of noise. The noise from the phone will distract other students. Also because students might break them at school and blame the schools for letting them bring them. That's why phones shouldn't be allowed at school.

Aaron’s Thoughts

Cell phones should be allowed at school because what if the power is out and you cant call no one but when you have your phone you could call your mom or dad or any other person that can help.

Daniell’s Thoughts

Yea cellular phones should be
used in
school. But only , at break, . but not at class because you don't want to disrupt class. als0 the children should put there phones with the teacher .so they can't cheat.

Damaris’ Opinions

Cellular phones should be allowed on school compass . Students should be able to bring cell phones to school in case of an emergency. If a student comes to school with a cellphone they know what's going on at home. A cellphone to a student is something they can use to text with their friends. It's more than that to adults. If students bring cellphones to school they should use them in a nice way.

Students shouldn't use gossip if they text at school. Gossip is done a lot at school. First is gossip, then there's bullying. If you bring a cellphone , turn it off during class. Students are responsible for their cellphones. If lost school is not responsible for cellphones. For example, parents shouldn't blame school or come complaining to office.

Kalen’s Thoughts

Cellular phones should be allowed in schools. One good reason they should be allowed in school is, if the student's parent or guardian got in a wreck someone might need to tell the student about it but they cant if the students phone is off. Teachers might make the excuse of, leave a message, but what if the guardian is going to die or is severely injured. Most people would use this advantage to text friends during class. Maybe the teacher could have a bucket that everyone puts the phones in. Some people might think that someone will steal the phone that belongs to them. Another solution to this is, the phones are to stay on vibrate in class. People can still text. If phones should be allowed in school the teacher should have full control of taking it away. Many people have a different opinion of this matter feel free to have a different opinion.

Ben’s Opinion

Cell phones should not be allowed at school because they are a big distraction to students. They also get dropped or stolen by other students. In class students text and don't pay attention then they don't learn anything in class. Also cell phones cause a lot of drama. That's why I think cell phones should not be allowed at school.

What Gisel Thinks

Cellular phones should be used in school because when you get hurt you could call the office or parents. During school cell phones should be used in class for help. Example. You can't get up but you can text your teacher or student for help. Also when your teacher doesn't know a multiplication problem he can use a calculator. The only problem is students get distracted on phones because they're texting there friends instead of doing their work. Also students can text their answers to the teacher instead of writing it down and would save money for school because don't have to buy paper you can just text it. Cellular phones should be used.J

Estefany’s Ideas

Cellular phones should be allowed in school because if you didn't have transportation, you would have to use your phone and call your parents. Some teachers at other schools don't think it's a good idea to bring your phone probably because you might lose it or break it at school and the next thing they'll know is that someone might steal it. Phones are important probably to your parents because if you would of went somewhere with someone, and forgot to tell your parents, they would know that they need to get you a phone ASAP.

Juliann’s Thoughts

Cellular phones should be allowed. One reason is that so we don't have call on the office phone. We could call if there is an emergency, if the phones aren't working. I know people try to forbid them because they think something will happen to our brains.

I just think that we should only be able to use them when you need them to call. Not to text friends or use as a calculator during school. Also phones can cause cancer, so it is dangerous to keep them by you for to long. But I think it is a good idea to have cellular phones at school.

Juan’s Ideas

Cell phone should not be at school. Because students will going to get distracted. And students need to learn not texting in class. And makes lots of noise and distracting straight A kids. And kids that are using phone are getting not good grades. And they can text each other's answers.

So no using phone in class they have to turn them off.

Nicholas’ Opinion

Cellphones should be allowed at school. Because if a teacher wanted to get ahold of a student. And that he/or she were not there. They wouldn't be able to get ahold of the student. That is my opinion.

David’s Thoughts

phones should not be allowed at school. Then when there tacking a test they could be texting you others and tell them the answer. Or they could be spreading rumors and hurting each other feelings. It would go so fare that they would not come to school any more. That why we should not have not have cell phones at school.

Matt’s Opinion

Cellular phones should be allowed at school because need to call somebody and they can't get to the office. They might need it after school to know if there going on the bus or not. Then if you are playing a sport and theirs no practice they should be able to use it. But if you have one you should keep it on you all times. Also keep it off.

Richard’s Thoughts

Cellular phones should be allowed in school. Cellular phones are important in case in an emergency. Cellular phones should be used only at both breaks if it is not used for an emergency. Since teachers are allowed to use cell phones why not students? Cell phones are important in todays world and if someone buys a cell phone they should be able to use it if they are a 4.0 student.

Alondra’s Opinions

Cellular phones should be allowed on school campus .Students should bring cell phones just in case of emergency. If a student brings a cell phone to school they should turn it off during class. But when they go outside they should turn it on.

If students bring cell phones they should use it when they need too. Students are responsible for their phones.

What is the best present that you've ever gotten for your birthday? Not necessarily the most expensive, but the one that was the most important to you. Talk about it and try to remember where that present is today.

the best present I ever would be a trip to my cousins grandma's house in lake Tahoe during the winter. It was really fun because I got to go snowboarding and sledding . it was also fun because there is a pool table in their basement and I got to play.

Talk about your best birthday cake experience, yours or someone else's. Did you put your face in one? Did you eat five to ten pieces of one? Have fun with this one and really flesh everything out. Mmm, frosting.

The best birthday experience was when my little brother turned 3. the cake was really cool because it had a really cool fire truck on it. right after my brother blew out the candles my cousin shoved both of my brothers and my heads into the cake. Then my oldest brother shoved my cousins face into the cake.

How do you feel as though you will change with your upcoming birthday? Will your responsibilities change? Will your clock start ticking a little faster to do something that you've been meaning to do? Be specific and detailed.

I think i will become more mature and will have to watch my little brother more.

Mari's Birthday Questions

I'm happy because I will be a teenager. I'm closer to being an adult and living my own life. I might not like all the responsibilities I get but I am still excited when I become a teen.

Create your ideal birthday story for any age that you wish. You can re-make a birthday party or get together you've already had or plan out a new amazing celebration for the future. The important thing is to make it absolutely perfect in every possible way.

It would be my birthday party and I would be turning seventeen. it would take place at Knott's Berry Farm, because I love roller coasters. it would start at 12:00 p.m. and end at 9:00 p.m.. we would have a big cake that has chocolate and purple frosting with angle cake. the angle cake will be food colored lime green. that would be my awesome party!

What was your favorite birthday and why? Who was there? Did you have a party? What presents did you get? Be very specific about what made it so special.

My favorite birthday party was my 11th birthday last year on Aug 16. The people that were there were my Aunt and Uncle, my parents, and my cousins and siblings. My birthday party wasn't really a party because the only things I got for my birthday is a cake and one presents. I still liked that birthday even though it wasn't really a party.

What made so special was that everybody that knew me that time said happy birthday at least 2 times. My family took me to Diaz lake that day and I got to be around my family. The two presents I got was $150.00.

The best present I've ever gotten was 150.00

One reason why is because with the 150.00 dollars I got a year supply of cloth. I like that present because those cloth are the cloth I wear to school.

I would have a planned out birthday when I am 12. It would take place at home. I would have a lot people from my family come and would have a big birthday cake like 9ft long. I don't want to be spoiled so I just want 5 presents. The house would be full with balloons and ribbons.

Birthday

What was your worst birthday and why? Be extremely detailed about what made it such an awful memory. As always, you can make it into a character's story and exaggerate all the details to an extreme degree.

My worst birthday was when I turned 11. My birthday was on a Tuesday, and the week was alright until Saturday (October 17th, 2009). I was celebrating my birthday on that Saturday so I could have time to talk to all my family! Later that day at about 5 p.m. my dads mom called and asked my dad if he could get over to my great grandma and grandpa's house. My mom and dad went over right after he hung the phone up. I had to stay at my other grandma's house and worry. Maybe four minutes after they left, the town sirens went off. Right then I knew I had said my last good-bye to my great grandpa. It took my mom and dad until 11 p.m. to get home. That was my worst birthday!

I hope I don't change at all this coming birthday, I can't handle it. No my responsibilities will not change. I already have to be the adult, because I'm the oldest. My clock has been ticking since my last birthday, because I get one year closer to driving! I hope this birthday goes by fast!

The best present I have ever gotten would have to be the necklace my little sister and little cousins made for me! The necklace was made out of rope, with hay tied on it, dog tags (from the dogs collars), and horse hair was braided and tied onto it. It was the best because the little ones (younger than me) made most of it all alone, and the idea came from the heart! That present is hanging in the room where I keep my saddles, saddle blankets, and reins!

Create a story in which the main character hates birthdays, and tries extremely hard to avoid telling people that today is his special day. And it happens to be the best day of his life. Elaborate to the extreme.

Angus Aristotle Wiggly hated birthdays. If a birthday party was held at his house he would go to the town library and arrange books in the cupboards. Angus was like the Easter Bunny to Christmas. He was furious about parties but no one could know that today was his birthday May 32, 2011.

That morning he walked to school the air was crisp the side walk below his feet was as clean as can be. But every step he took he would glance to both sides making sure nobody would come behind him. Because his little sister Merloneapie was 10 feet behind him and she would not stop talking about his birthday. About 6 minutes later he was at school and walking very cautiously and discreet.

School was fun for him only 6 people attended class because all of the other students wre at his surprise party.

When he got home it was 6 o'clock p.m because he was taking some extra-curricular classes. Right when he stepped in the door before he could say "Mom I'm home" he heard SUPRISE! It turned out to be the most extraordinary party ever in his life. And that was Angus Aristotle Wiggly's birthday experience.

Today was Edistickle Frogdumb's birthday today and I want to throw her a party. She is turning 15 years old. All day at school I didn't talk to her. She was getting very pist. At the end of school I approached her in a hallway and asked her if she wanted to go to Vietnam with me and on the way I would purchase anything she wanted.

She loved a whole week in Vietnam can really change a person on the way home she spoke Vietnamese. She told everyone her brother, sister, grandma, grandpa, mom, dad everyone.

The best present I have ever received was a pair of shoes. This was my favorite most treasured gift because at the time I had no shoes. Well I did but they were thrashed. Holes, bite marks, pee stains, mouse holes everything just horrible. I also loved them because that was the first gift I ever got to pick myself. Those $55 pair of shoes are now on my shoe shelves waiting to be thrown away. I loved those shoes.

What was your favorite birthday and why? Who was there? Did you have a party? What presents did you get? Be very specific about what made it so special.

My favorite birthday party was when I was turning twelve because some of my family was there. that was a fun day because I got a lot of cake and a lot of money. the thing that made it really special was that I was with my family. that was my favorite birthday party that I've had.

My worst birthday was when I was in New Mexico during my birthday. I didn't get any presents and no money and no cake. I was really mad that I didn't get anything. that was the worst birthday that I've ever had in my life.

Ryan's Submission

One day there was a guy named Rufus. He always had so much fun at every birthday. On his 18th birthday he went to the park. His mom invited all of his friends including his girlfriend. When they arrived at the park everyone was already there playing and in the water. First he jumped in the water then he slipped and cracked his head. It wasn't that bad but he was more embarrassed that he did it on his birthday. He got out of the water and got all cleaned up. Next they were playing tag and he was chasing a person through the tree part of the park. He looked back and ran into a tree. It was his second time he had gotten hurt that day. He got knocked out for a good ten minutes. When he was awoken by cold water everyone was happy that he was alive and good. But he told everyone that his head hurt a little bit. His mother told him to take it easy for the rest of the day. He was sitting on a bench waiting for his cake to arrive. When it arrived the were carrying it over to the bench and the chief tripped and threw the cake right into the air. Unfortunately Rufus was looking away at the time and it landed on his head. He was so mad that he started to cry. They decided to end the party because Rufus was mad and embarrassed and he wanted to go home. When he got home his mom told him that she wanted him to open his presents with his girlfriend. He opened all of these lame presents then he got to his parents. They bought him a house with 50000 dollars that he can spend on it.

One day it was both if my friends birthday party. There names were Douglas and Alec. They were twins and they were turning fourteen that day. They enjoyed going swimming and playing basketball. So their mom and I went to take them out swimming on the river. We took them out and they were pretty happy that they were going out. Where we were going the water was really deep and there was a big ledge you can jump off of. We started jumping into the water and they got really tired quick. When Douglas jumped in one time he never came up from under the water. We gave him 5 more seconds then we were going to come in after him. We knew that he would always do this to us because he can stay under water for a long time. It was 5 seconds then we went down to find him. Well we found him and he was under there laying on the bottom passed out. Alec and I brought him back up to the surface and everyone were shocked. He started coughing up water and then he was fine. It was weird because after that he started to swim again. We all got out about ten minutes later and we ate cake and opened gifts. They got some pretty cool stuff like a bike a Xbox and a yacht. They were really happy and glad. They had an excellent 14th birthday.

My best birthday present I have ever had was my first Xbox 360. It was the day before my birthday and my dad was getting home from Los Angeles. He told me he had something for me and I went to go get it. It was pretty heavy and I wasn't expecting an Xbox. I opened it and I was really happy. I didn't think he was really going to get me one. First thing I did that night was hook up my Xbox and start playing. Then I figured out you need a game to have fun with an Xbox. I went over to a friends to go get a game and then I came home. I started playing and I was addicted to the game for about a week. Today I still have the Xbox. I don't play it as much anymore because I never have time to play because I am always busy. I have got more games and more add-ons for it.
