Academic Language Week 29 - School Conferences

Parents should not go to jail for missing their child’s school conference. The student and his/her parent might not be able to TRANSFER themselves to the meeting causing conflict. The meeting is also not necessarily a good RESOURCE of helping the parents to help the student because even if the conference occurs it does not guarantee that the student will do better with or without their parents help. Finally, if murderers don’t have to go to jail for SEEKING out innocent children and killing them then,parents shouldn't either just for simply missing a meeting. Forgetting their child’s school conference should not equal jail time for parents; it is unfair and unusual punishment.

Academic Language Week 27 - Drug-Sniffing Dogs

Drug-sniffing dogs should not be allowed for usage by school officials. First reason is that not every student has drugs that they ASSUME does. Next the PROCESS of getting the dogs in the school and evacuating the students out takes away from their quality learning time. Dogs are animals and even trained ones have their animal instincts therefore, they could RESPOND to the students by attacking one of them. In any situation, it is neither safe or school appropriate for drug sniffing dogs to be used by school officials.

Trayvon Martin Paragraph

George Zimmerman needs to be charged with voluntary manslaughter for shooting Trevon Martin. There was no solid evidence showing that Zimmerman was attacked by Martin yet there was many factors provided by witnesses and police reports showing that Zimmerman was harrasing Martin. Due to Zimmerman's past history with the law, he has shown to be very aggressive and paranoid; for example he has called the police 46 times since January 2011 and according to neighbors he was focused on crime and young, black males. On the other hand, Martin has no history with the law and was an A and B student that was always cheerful. This shows that Martin was less likely to attack Zimmerman especially since Martin was only carrying skittles and an iced tea and Zimmerman had an 9 millimeter handgun. The police officers that was in charged of this case also need to be in question because the usual procedure that follows homicides was not followed throughly. There was thoughts by police operator that he, Zimmerman, sounded intoxicated yet he wasnt drug or acholol tested. It is essential to for teens to look at stories like this and undersatnd how the world can really be. Futhermore, this case is in critical need to be look over again so, that justice can be served.
