Persuasive Writing

February 29, 2008

The idea of removing the vending machines from the school is enough to get the whole school in an uproar. Many students at the school, including myself, use those vending machines from time to time. The vending machines offer snacks for students in a rush to get to class, or if students don’t want to wait in a long line in the cafeteria for some beef jerky. The soda dispensers only offer diet soda, as apposed to the more unhealthy regular soda, and this goes for all the snacks in the school. All the vending machines offer a healthier alternative of the snacks. All chips are baked; all soda is diet, what more can I say? The only food healthier than the kind we have now tastes terrible and would sell. Having the kind of snacks in the school we do now if a fair compromise. In conclusion, leave the vending machines as they are.


WASL Questions

February 25, 2008

1. “They” want us to take the WASL to compare how their students are against other students at other schools.
2. if you are taking the WASL that year, you have to come to school at normal time rather than sleep in like everyone else. The only good aspect is that IF you do well, you have something to gloat about, and so does the school.
3. Take the test scores of the students and average them to get a general view of how well a cirtain student is doing.
