SPA Policy Blog Paragraph

One policy that i wish could be changed is being too confined and self passes. Currently these policies state that the foster kids live in the middle of nowhere and can't have the freedom of feeling like a teen with some way of connecting with the outside world instead of waiting for the weekend to feel a smudge of normal. One reason it should be changed is because the foster teens are becoming young adults and are trying to find a way to find their rightful place in this place called society. Also, foster teens need to feel as normal as they can because the situation they are in is not. I know from experience that it is hard to feel normal when being in a place such as SPA. I long to be "free" in the world but alas i have to wait to make my statement in the society. If this policy was changed then i would feel a smudge better about being a "new adult" that's still treated as a kid.

America

American students are not falling behind academically compared to students in other countries.One reason is we have better resources and DATA at hand. Another reason is because we Americans care about education more than helping out our fellow countries, plus a person can't live without a job and the person can't get a job without education. Which there are a RANGE of jobs where education is needed. Additionally, Americans children aren't actually getting smarter or dumber. In conclusion, American students are not falling behind academically COMPARED to students in other countries.

Spring Break.

the mood I was mostly in was stress. The reason for this is because my parents would yell at me for not spending time with them. I feel that I couldn't because my littlest sister Payten would get into trouble and so my parents had to deal with her than spend time with me. I spent a whole day with my sister Desi. After that my parents still said I wasn't spending time with the family. I got to see my best friend which was really nice but she was so bossy and impatient. She wanted me to go to her prom and I was going to but right as I was walking out the door with my best friend to go to a different house, my parents told me to go home. I ended up watching movies at home and eating a root beer float. Not cool. Another thing that I stressed about was that my friend asked me to not talk to certain people, when she knows that that's not how I role.

Should not schools eliminate "D" grades?

Should not schools eliminate "D" grades.One reason is because eliminating the grade "D" would cause the students to freak out cause they wouldn't be able to know if they are about to pass or fail. Another reason is a "D" interacts in a way for the student to understand that he/she is spreading themselves too much or are starting to get lazy. Additionally, a "D" can help a student pass high school if they are struggling in school. In conclusion, that is the reason as to why there should be a grade "D".

Parents should not face jail time for missing their child's school conference. One reason is not every parent/guardian can make it to the meeting. The most common reason is because of their job. Another reason is because some times it's the teacher who misses the meetings or cancels. Another reason is because the adult could be stuck in traffic or could have gotten in a car accident. Last reason is if the parent gets put in jail then it puts more stress on the student. In the end the only thing you would be doing is setting the child up to fail and commit suicide or to become a Juvenal delinquent, or a kid that gets too many issues. There are many things that could happen to the kid or even the family, but as I have said parents or guardians shouldn't be put in jail for something that's out of their control.
