Topic: School Uniforms
Position Paper
The topic I will be discussing is school uniforms. Some may like them and some may not. Here is my opinion. One student thinks that students in schools all over America should have the right to wear what they want to wear to school; that children should have the right to wake up and ask themselves, ‘What should I wear to school today’?
I agree with that student. I know that adults & parents are going to say that this is a bad idea because they think that they are going to have to buy their child brand new clothes. But what they don’t understand is the fact that their child already has perfectly good clothes to wear . I also have the response of one teacher from my school.
Her name is Ms. Denise (Amber Charter School’s Technology teacher.) Ms. Denise does not like the idea of not having school uniforms because she feels that the best gang to belong to is school. She also feels that if students get to wear what they want to school they will get into things that they don’t need to get into.
I understand where she is coming from, but students should have freedom, yes students have a lot of freedom but what about the freedom of dress? Another thing, a lot of teachers have said that we should keep school uniform because it is tradition (at my school) but as President Barack Obama once said: “It’s time for CHANGE”.
One last thing before I go many teachers at my school voted for Barack Obama as Presdient of the United Staes of America because he can bring change , the teachers at my school do not want to change the uniform policy; but I hope the teachers at my school take this change into consideration .

I am in favor of recycling because I want a clean environment so I can breathe precisely on Earth. I don’t like that most of the pollution comes from evaporated petroleum products such as the things that famers use. What’s so amazing is that we recycled 95% of aluminum! Now I know that you guys were listening to me .We need to start recycling paper because we only recycled 65% of paper this year.
There are many ways that you can save the world such as cleaning up the park and at the same time you are teaching the kids the thing to do instead of littering on the floor. Some things can be saved and this is called conservation. Please try to keep the environment clean because you are not the only person in the world. Turning off the water faucet saves 9 gallons of water. The things I don’t like are that 40% of pure water flushes down your toilet. We really need to step- up our game because we running out of time.
I am of both minds, I am also against recycling; because some things do not have to be recycled and this called non-renewable. I will give you an example such as Styrofoam. If you do recycle Styrofoam, it is called land pollution .Metal is part of it, but it does need to be recycled. I do not know people continue to destroy the wonderful environment that has been created by a special person.

First African-American President
Some people might think that it was a dreadful idea to elect Barack Obama President because he was black and he could get lethargic. I strongly disagree with that. I think Obama is a very good man. It was once said that the day an African-American would become president would be the day pigs fly. On the 100th day after Barack Obama became president; swine flu!
I think people should be inspired that he just doesn’t quit. I know some people think that people of African descents should still be slaves. They don’t know how it feels to be a slave. I don’t know either but I think it is worse than I can imagine. I think that they should also know he has been to Indonesia, was born inside of the United States, and even though he had a African father he was born to a white mother and grandparents.
Even though he has not proved himself green enough to the environment; he stills tries to help the economy besides the fact many people are against him. Barack Obama has a water dog. But it is a cool dog. He was a senator in Illinois. He belongs to a democratic party.
He is already an author of two books. He went against John McCain. John McCain is a wonderful man. He is a lefty (left-handed). But there is a rumor that left-handed people are smarter than modern man.
Barack Obama seems smarter than George Bush Jr. to me. I know Barack Obama has been through a lot but that is still not an excuse. Barack Obama’s mother got divorced with Barack Obama Sr. from Kenya and then married again with another man and moved into Indonesia. He has two kids and a wife named Michelle. Although another thing is that some people think he might not be green enough. Is he really going to let his schedule stop him from helping the environment?
These days you better pay attention to the environment .I have a feeling nature is not the only one causing catastrophe in the environment. I think Obama should fix this problem. He is the president of the United States. I know when one thing in the world is changed everything is affected.
This is a really a big problem. I think if Barack Obama can be the best president he needs to help everything. You can’t just do one thing and expect everything else to be done for you. You got to be more aware. Doing that is like giving one of your children away.
I don’t think Barack Obama would like to give up one of his daughters. It just can’t be done. What can be done is making him a better president. So go out there Barack Obama and start the change if you can. Like you said “Yes we can”!

Topic: School Uniforms
I think that school uniforms are a good thing because some students get harassed for the clothes that they wear. It also saves your parents a lot of time and money. Furthermore, some kids get beat up for the clothes they wear. Some students hide drugs and weapons in their clothes. Studies showed that about 60% of students wore their pants hanging down below their waistlines.
Wearing uniforms is a little fun because you could probably hook-up your uniforms so it won’t be so boring wearing just your average stuff. Very few schools give you dress-down-day every last Friday in the month. I and the kids in my school are very fortunate to be in one.
Studies show that the style of wearing their pants hanging down came from jail and I don’t know why someone would want to follow a person that was in prison.
Some girls under the age of 18 reveal their stomachs because they want boys to see them as women. Wearing all of those short and tight shirts makes you uncomfortable. Wearing those tight outfits can make you get an infection and then you can get sick. Then that will force you to stop wearing it.
Only 40% of students wear their uniform the way it is suppose to be worn. They probably get awards for wearing their uniform. Also wearing it helps you prepare for a job because appropriate clothing is imperative. So wearing uniform is important. Now I hope you learned the importance of wearing a school uniform.

Technology/Class 401 Position Paper
Topic: Technology
The topic I am going to discuss is Technology. Technology may be new to some people but I think Technology helps all of us from the old to the young. I agree with Technology because it has saved lives. If you are old or sick doctors or other people would use Technology to help. Technology also helps you keep track of your money in the bank; or other things you need.
Technology has affected society and its surroundings in a number of ways. It can make things work or go faster many people would like that. Technology is a thing little or even big kids like. I’m talking about video games like Nintendo wii and DS and XBox 360.
By the mid- 20th century, humans had achieved a mastery of technology sufficient to leave the atmosphere of the Earth for the first time and explore space. And it is the coolest thing in the world.
Tech timeline
1772- Lighting rod Benjamin Franklin.1776-submarine David Bushnell.1790-frist U.S patent William Pollard.1794-cotton gin Eli Whitney 1797-Interchangeable Parts Eli Whitney 1801- Steam-Powered Pumping Station city of Philadelphia and more.
So that is how I see technology and it’s impacted on the world. I hope you have understood my massage and get it. Some may disagree with me. Some may agree with me. Technology is the way to the future.

I am in favor of technology. People need technology to make their lives less exhausting. Technology is happiness to people because technology helps them get through to a lot of events in their daily lives. Our communities are working on many diverse uses for technology; for example the utility companies (Con Edison, Brooklyn Union Gas) seen their meter readers out with hand-held devises to read the gas and electric meters in our houses. People need technology in the event of an emergency. Hospital’s use of technology is one of the main reasons more lives are being saved at a higher rate.
The use of technology in schools is very important. The use of computers in the classroom has been responsible for students improving in their core educational learning areas. Most students my age can learn about education and search for colleges and great schools.
The population for technology is high and very reasonable people all around the world use technology for most of the things they do. The population of the technology will increase if the people who sell technology lower there price and come with new technology like a radio that you can download music on to. Some people buy a lot of technology because they really need it during college when you have to do a report on Obama and Hillary. Many people buy laptops so they can bring technology with them a laptop is a device that you can bring with you. There’s a device called a cell phone people use cell phones for emergencies and communication.
I like technology because I like to study a lot of things like science you can look up a lot of about science like how can you compare a regular rock to a crystal. Some think that technology is not that great because sometimes you can get a virus or the computer needs a rebooting. People say if you buy a computer it will cost too much and if you get on websites your not suppose to go on you will get a virus. The reason people like technology because it helps them se a better side.
A lot of people say that cars are really bad for the earth because it is polluting gas in our city and gas can really kill you because it can hurt your lungs in your body. The reason I like technology is because it helps other people do there work and I want people to go to college and learn and be successful in there future.

Some people are for the first African-American President. Some people might be happy with our president because he is African-American and we’ve never had an African-American President in the past. But many people say that they think President Obama will not make a change. They think that he will do the same as former President G. W. Bush.
Some people think differently from me. I feel that President Obama will do better job than G. W. Bush; because former President Bush put us (the United States) in a lot of trouble financially. I also feel sorry for the people that are in the Army because they are risking their lives for this country. I also believe that Obama will do the best that he can because he does not have to rush to get everything done. He has four years to undo eight years of damage.
I hope that everyone is happy with our President now because he is making best of both worlds from being the President and a father to Mila and Sasha, and even a good husband to Michelle Obama. I trust that President Obama will run for President again because I’m excited that he is president and I know that others are as well.

I am in favor of school uniforms. School uniforms help kids avoid trouble in many situations. School uniforms also stop allot of conflicts in some ways. To learn more about school uniforms please give me one minute to say what I think about school uniforms.
I am for school uniform because people look neater when they are all wearing the same thing. I am also for school uniform because without school uniform allot of students will get picked on if they are wearing weird clothes. I know that because on dress down day allot of students get picked on if their clothes aren’t neat or if their clothes doesn’t look nice or even if they have worn the same clothes at the last dress down day. Sometimes kids get mad at themselves for wearing messed up clothes.
I bet I know what you are thinking. You are probably thinking ‘what a nerd’. Well, I kind of agree with you that school uniforms are dumb but when you think of it, wouldn’t you get bored of wearing whatever you want each day!!! You probably are thinking that you will never like school uniforms. However if you don’t have to wear a school uniform at all then you will get bored of wearing whatever you want each day.
At the same time, kids do have a reason to hate school uniforms. One reason is that parents have to spend their money on something their children don’t even like. Another reason is that, if you try to find somebody it is easier to find that person if he or she isn’t wearing staff even yell at students that don’t come in or take of there uniform. There are still allot of reasons to not like school uniforms but right now I don’t have enough time to name them all.
I know that you all have a good reason not to like school uniforms but we should relay stop complaining about our school uniforms.

Let’s Take Part in Recycling
Today I’m going to give you reasons why people are for and against recycling. I’m going to start with people being against recycling then I’m going to tell you why people are for recycling. Also I’m for recycling and I will tell you why. Studies show that people between the of ages of 18 through 30 have a tendency not to separate glasses, aluminum and, paper; why? Because they just don’t care because it is too much work and they don’t have enough time for it; but I say it is an easy thing to do. While looking up some fact I found that people are not for recycling because people think that recycled stuff should go in our dump.
Also I found this piece of information when looking for reasons why people are not recycling and it says,’’ Some people are for recycling because wildlife are in danger because most people are putting their cans on beaches when they can put it in the recycling can . ‘’ When they can put it in a plastic bag and go to the close recycling can. Also people that are for recycling belief that the earth is now a dump and they feel that learning how to recycle is a great skill and it fun.
I’m for recycling because the earth is now becoming a huge wasted and I think it should be fixed as well as everyone should learn the 3 R’s (Reduce-Reuse-Recycle). People need to persuade more people to recycle and clean beaches.

I am for technology and people because people need computers for many things. People need technology for communication, happiness, and for a living. The reason I am for communication is because people need to communicate with each other. The reason I am for happiness is because people should talk to people online because you can go on private chat, play games for free, and have fun on YouTube while watching videos and movies.
Another reason I am for because of school education. School education is very important; many schools need computers for printing assignments, homework, also for letters and notices. Teachers mostly use computers to take attendance, to look up places, and to contact other teachers and parents. If technology dies out, teachers would have to do everything by hand and walk to teachers instead of just calling the teacher.
Technology is also dreadful in many ways. One way is because you have to pay bills for it. Another reason is because you have to have a house in order to have everything plugged in or even to have the internet working. There is so many other ways technology is good and technology is bad. That is why there are two sides of technology.
People all over the world use technology, whether it’s a cell phone, computer, or even an electronic toy. Face it, if there was no technology life would be horrible. Another reason that people have computers is to keep track of paperwork and many other job involved things. That is why people need computers for a living.
If people do not have computers, then they probably can not afford it or they do not want it because they do not want to pay the bills. That is okay because some people are more interested in technology then others. Either way technology can help many people but it can also not do such a good job. That is why some people like technology and some people do not.
If you agree with technology or against technology, it will still always be there if you change your mind about it. That is why you’re opinion is important to many people. If I am for it that does not mean you have to be, so don’t let anybody tell you your opinion, tell them how you feel about something. Do not let anyone bring you down about your feelings or your opinion stand up for yourself.
The reason I like technology is because it is for people and if you do not like it that is your opinion nobody can change it. Some people think that they can not have a computer because they can not afford it. When that happens you can go to the library, get a card if you do not have one, then you can go on the computer for one whole hour every single day. That would save you a lot of money.
Some people who go to school can use the computer for reports and essays only should just work on the computer at the library or at their home if they have one there. If children do not have a computer at home they probably can not have there reports done in time. That is when technology saves the day and gets them done. That is one example why technology is good.
Also some people do not have a computer because their child only uses it once in a while; only for school reasons. That is when your child needs to go to the library so that they can spend at least half an hour doing homework and the other half doing what ever they want. That is why the library comes in handy. That is one example of why technology is not so good.
Those were the reasons why technology is good and not so good. Then there were tips in this essay about ways you can go on the computer without owning one. That why am for technology, you may be against it that is you’re opinion nobody can force you to change it. I hope I taught you about the side of being against people and the side of being for it. Thank you for taking the time to read my essay.
