Academic Language Week 31 - Teen Vandals

Parents of teen vandals should not be held responsible for their child's damage. One reason is because the kids are SPECIFICALLY their own person. Another reason is because the kids need to learn responsibility. Additionally, if kids get put with responsibility then they'll learn from their mistakes and actually ACHIEVE in life. In addition, I believe that parents shouldn't be held with discipline for their child's faults.

Academic Language Week 30 - "D" Grades

Schools should not eliminate "D" grades. One reason is that children might feel as if their confidence will drop, and their lack of effort would increase. Another reason is that when children need help, they might not know how to INTERACT with others. INITIALLY, there will be more students with F's and they'll have less of a chance to COMPENSATE for the grade. These are some examples why I believe schools should count "D" grades.
