Attention Disorder or Not, Pills to Help In School

In the article," Attention Disorder or Not, Pills to Help In School "is mainly stating how they would like to provide students with A.D.H.D with a pill that would help them focus in class and participate.

" People throughout the society think that the pill is too expensive to change the kid's environment, so we have to change the children." Stated Dr. Anderson.

Dr. Anderson is the person who had the suggestion that children who was diagnosed with A.D.H.D ( attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ) should be provided with the pill called Adderall. Adderall is a pill that provided the person that is taking it,  with energy and help them participate in class.

Some people believe that they reason that the children with A.D.H.D grades are not that good because of the fact that they parents are not able to afford tutoring and or family counseling.

I think that this pill is not a good idea because you don't know how the pill with react in the child's body system.

The article stated, "Quintn, 10 years-old, began to have hallucinations about things happening in school such as him getting into fights at school, him arguing with people because he thought that they was talking about his mother." It turned out that this was a side effect to the pill Adderall.

Dr. William Graf suggested that families should be able to choose their selves if their children would take the pill Adderall because of the side affects.

Dr. Anderson stated that he does not know the long term effects but he do know the short-term, but the Doctor should know all the effects from this drug because the pill could have  possibility that it might shorten a child's life you never know. And he just wants to provide children with it, to me i think this drug Adderall should not be provided what so ever.

Will this drug be harmful to children's life?

Should this Drug ( Adderall ) be given to children with A.D.H.D?

Obama Backs Same-Sex Marriage

Do you think Same-Sex Marriages should be acceptable?

Do you think Barack Obama would win the election, so that he can change the law?

Most people dont like couples that are the same sex. Most people dont like when people of the same sex get married, they think its wrong. Not the President of the United States.

President Barack obama stated, “At a certain point I’ve just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same-sex couples should be able to get married.’’

President obama has been a big support towards same-sex marriage, & he has been doing that for several years.

Many U.S. have amendments to their state constitutions which prevent the recognition of some or all types of same-sex unions.

I personally think that people who marry of the same-sex is not bad because if you really love that person, then you should be able to be commited and spend the rest of their lives with them.

Barack obama stated that there are gay soldiers, airmen marines and sailors who are out there fighting on his behalf.

People who have lovers of the Same-Sex & who want to get married should have equal rights as those who marry people of opposite sex.

As Barack is ok with Same-Sex marriages, republican Mitt Romney is against it and who like to put a stop to it.

Romney has also said he would fight for a federal constitutional ban on gay marriage, and would preserve the Defense of Marriage Act, and President Barack obama does not agree with him and trying to not let that happen and fight for gay rights.

50% of americans believe that people of the Same-Sex should get married.

There you have it, i think if President Barack Obama stay in Office he would make the right that would satify those people of the united states. I think that Mitt Romney would make choses that he believe would satify the citizens of the U.S, & in reality would not help/satify.

Texting May Be Taking A Toll

 In the article, "Texting May Be Taking A Toll by Katie Hafner" the author is discussing how texting is a huge distraction on children.

Do you think that this generation of children is getting affected by texting?Who you limit the amount of time that your child is on his/her phone?

Well according to the survey took by Dr. Martin Joffe, many students have been sending over 1,000 messages a day. Which means that sudents most likely are staying up beyond the time that they should be sleep. Which means they are not getting a good amount of sleep, and not having a good amount of rest can effect your school work.

The amount of text messages tht are being sent/recieved  every day at least 2,272 text messges  per month.Texting can also cause alot of problems such as musculoskeletal disorders. A musculoskeletal disorder is a diease that effects your joits, liaments and etc.

 I think that children should not be on their phones for a long period of time, i think parents shouldn't have their children on there phones 24/7 , because of the problems behind texting.

I also think that parents should keep an eye one HOW many message they are sending a day and who they are sending the messgaes to.

Teachersshould also pay careful attention because while the students are in class they are pretending like they are going in they book bag and they are really textin during calss, and not getting their class work done. Which is making most students fail.

Do i blame the Teachers? .... Not really because the children should know when is a ok time to text, and when it is not.

Do I blame the parents? .... Kind of, because they should be more awhere of who they children are texting, how long they stay up at night texting, and how many messages they children is sending a day.

Studies Find More Students Cheating, With High Achievers No Exceptions





         In the article "Studies Find More Students Cheating, With High Achievers No Exceptions" NYTIMES reporter Richard Perez-Pena talks about the real problems behind students cheating.

       

         This article is about all Schools throughtout the school that have been cheating & why they have been cheating. Evidence has been discovered that the problem with students cheating got worst over the last couple decades. Cheating became more easier and widely tolerated.

         The main problem with cheating is technology. Technology has became a huge part in cheating because student can go on the internet to copy and paste , which has also loosened some ides of authorship. Another way that they can use technology is by texting, the students can share answers with each other through message.

          The students that do cheat, are not really getting anything out of it they are just putting they selves more more & more behind and when they need information in the future they are not going to know whats going on.

           " I dont think there's any question that students have become more competitive, under more pressure, & , as a result, tend to excuse more from themselves and other students, allowed by adults around them. " Professor Donald L. McCabe stated.

           You would think that the students that do not pay attention in class and dont turn anything in would be the students that be mainly cheating, but studies show that more & more students that are cheating are the student that have Honor Roll ( A's & B's).

          Also experts are not just blaming the students for cheating they are also blaming the parents because they have trouble accepting that their kids make mistakes & fail, & when they do, they tend to blame someone else.

         I think that everyone cheats , nobody in the world cant say that not once in they life that they didnt not cheat on something, i know i cant because i cheated when i forgot to answer a question for homework so i copied of another student. I learned my lesson because that person's answer wasnt correct .

          Nobody's perfect, but i do think that cheating is wrong because your not using your brain, your using some else brain.
