...Remember the days when your mom or dad used to pack your school lunches? Remember how excited you were when you opened your lunch box and found a treat waiting inside, maybe a pack of fruit snacks or a brownie? Now imagine this, as you go to take a bite of that brownie or a fruit snack from your pack, not only your treat, but your entire lunch box is taken away from you. Wouldn’t you be heartbroken (and also hungry)? Well, unfortunately this is the case for may children all over the country. Their entire lunches are being snatched away if they are deemed “unhealthy” by school staff. Parents are infuriated and for good reason. Kids are being left without food for lunch and/or snacks even though their parents are packing food for them daily....

...Jarod Kintz once said, “Freedom is being you without anyone’s permission.” School uniforms should not be mandatory for young children. Kids in schools should have the freedom to choose their outfits. Permission from adults on what to wear. Having the freedom to choose will take a lot of pressure off the adults. Even though having school uniforms lives would be easier. Everyone would feel equal, and there would be less stress. School uniforms should not be allowed. School uniforms are not going to stop bullying, school uniforms are not going to stop judging, and school uniforms are going to be costly. Today, bullying is a main cause around schools. Bullying occurs everywhere. It does not matter what an individual is wearing, or who they are, bullying still occurs. “The judgment of the Lord are true and righteous altogether” (Lincoln 280).

...juice while at school is healthier, but I do not think it is such a good idea. I strongly believe that the schools should not have to serve only nutritional beverages on a daily basis. To begin with, students may not like the nutritious drinks that the schools would now serve. Also, students should have a choice on what they get to drink at school. Finally, if schools would buy the real, nutritious drinks it will cost a lot of money for the school system. As can be seen, buying nutritional drinks can cause problems for school. First of all, the students may have reasons that they may not like the drinks or would prefer others. Maybe they did not like the taste or true texture of any of the drinks that are offered. The students may just prefer other drinks that the school does not offer. In some cases, students may be allergic to the drinks that they serve. After all, it is important to let the children choose their own drinks or beverages just in case of an issue that some of the students may have....

...Unvaccinated Children: Should they be allowed in public schools? Assignment 5: Persuasive Paper Part 3: Possible Disadvantages, Answers, with VisualsYour Name Lisa Teitler Eng 215 March 13, 2016 Unvaccinated Children: Should they be allowed in public schools? Today’s vaccinations are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in order to ensure their effectiveness and safety to the general public. Currently there are no federal laws which mandates vaccination, but there is a vaccination requirement per state for children entering school. The chart below details which vaccines are mandated for public school by several states: Children who are not vaccinated have a greater chance of death than children who received the required vaccinations. The safety of vaccinations is in questioned by many, asking if they are safe for children to receive. They are safe and should be required for children since those vaccinations help prevent illnesses, lower the risk for some diseases and it might even cause financial growth. There are several advantages of receiving the recommended vaccines. One advantage is that they are designed to put foreign antigens into the body so the body will produce antibodies to fight it off. The body will produce two types of immune responses when an antigen is introduced in order to ensure total immunity from the disease. Vaccines ensure that children get immunity from diseases instead of contracting them. Having immunity is a major advantage...

...My final recommendation would be to educate all people in Japan on the toxicity of whale meat (Endo 2003). Currently, a lot of Japanese people are unaware of the fact that so much is being spent on whaling subsidies. Research data by the Nippon Research center (2011-2012) suggests that most Japanese citizens (~88%) do not purchase whale meat (Mulvaney 2013). Moreover, ~47% tend to oppose the use of public money to fund whaling (Mulvaney 2013). Notably, current research polls show that Japanese students are actually in favor of school meat lunches (Bowett 2009). There appears to be a disconnect between the meat market, whaling funding, and the amount the government actually spends to support whaling. If there was a mandatory education class in schools, rather than pushing for whale meat school lunches, we could see a turnaround on the...

...For the parents that have children coming home from school complaining about blurred vision or eye pain, the answer is in the student’s classroom. The answer is actually something that is used for educational use and is affecting the students of today, but not in a good way. It is the laptop or tablet. Laptops can be a great resource to have but being on one all day can be very harmful to someone. Studies show that laptops are related to multiple health issues. Manufacturing laptops or tablets is also very dangerous and hazardous to the environment. Students should not use laptops as a primary learning source because of the multiple issues that they create. Laptops are associated with many eye related health problems. According to the American Optometric Association; laptops contribute to Computer Vision Syndrome, or CVS, which causes eyestrain, headaches, blurred vision, and dry eyes (Pro Con). There are multiple reasons for this, including: the screen is overly bright; brightness and resolution are improperly adjusted; reflections and glare caused by too much light on the screen; and font...

It was found that schools with sports spend all of their money and nobody realizes the amount of money they pay for athletics (Ripley 10). More specifically, when teachers travel for games, districts have to hire substitutes and they also need to pay for buses, hotels, and meals (Ripley 10).

...Should Cell Phones Be Allowed in School? As society grows older and develops, technology seems to advance and augment with it as well. Many teachers hate the idea of phones at school. Unsurprisingly, the younger generation support the idea. There are several valid reasons as to why cell phones should be allowed in school. Firstly, cell phones can help salvage money. According to MediaSmarts who surveyed around 5400 school kids in each province and territory of Canada in 2014, they discovered that the majority of the kids in grades four through eleven had their own cell phone, while nearly one in four of the youngest children owned a mobile device. Having monitored cell phones in the classroom to use for schoolwork are very useful for teaching, considering many, many kids come to school which is not uncommon, allowing cell phone usage would make accessing the interest much easier and help schools save money. Not to mention, cell phones can help students be or become more organized. First of all, most students do not carry a paper planner or agenda. We all know that many of the agendas given out in the beginning of the year end up in the back of school lockers, at home in a closet or the trash. We need to incorporate their cell phones and or iPod Touch devices as their planner. That way, teachers can give them homework reminders, let them poll, and study using these devices. Having since it integrates with the personal calendar on the device, so students can be even more...

...When Southwest High School banned the use of backpacks the student body did not seem to favor it. Doesn't the school want a happy smart learning environment? Well allowing this important learning tool we save time, benefit student health,and the backpacks do not pose safety hazards as originally believed. First with students being able to travel faster with their backpacks, we would save time. No longer will students be going to their lockers for forgotten materials because with carrying the backpack they will have all learning materials with them. Therefore lockers won't be a necessity anymore, so hallways will be less congested. This would make our custodian's job easier, so they don't have to worry about the misfortune of opening jammed lockers. Also this can save time between class, making students less stressed and worried about being on time....
