The good, the bad, and the ugly

The Good:

               Politics has its ups and downs. The good side of politics is getting your point across. Leting people understand your pont of view of how the government should be run. You do your best to have the persuasive vote of people. Haviong the vote of the people lets you do whatever you want to do. The good side of polotics is the only happy side of polotics. Polotics is an ugly act that usually ends up hurting feelings and everyone in their wallet.

The Bad:

             The bad side of polotics is that there is always a loser when it comes to polotics. Polotics is a specific key trait that helps you get peoples mind going on how you want our government to be run. Its your choice. You get a lot of press for being in polotics. If you screw up a little bit then everyone flips out.

The Ugly:

                The Ugly side of polotics is the bad side. Somebody always ends up on the bottom side of the pancake. There is always a winner, but also and there is also a loser. The loser will be sad after all of there hard work put into there campain and then ending up on the bottom. I feel bad for the loser because they spent soo much money on the campain. Policts definatly has a good, bad, and ugly side to it.

Social media

Kids are getting mobile phones at younger ages.



              The mode in which they communicate also is changing as most kids choose to use text messages as their main platform for expression, which some physiologists say could negatively affect a child's academic and social habits. A 2010 Pew Internet and American Life Project study revealed that 75 percent of kids ages 12 to 17 own a cell phone. The majority of kids - 66 percent - got their first phones before their 14th birthday.

               While none of the 17-year-olds polled received phones before they turned 10, nearly 30 percent of 12-year-olds did. The Pew study revealed that 54 percent of teens send text messages daily, up from 38 percent in 2008. Half of teens send about 1,500 texts every month, while about one-third send about 3,000 texts. Teen girls on average send about 100 texts per day, while younger teen boys send about 20. The study concluded that teens prefer texting as the primary mode of communication, eclipsing face-to-face contact, e-mail, instant messages and voice calls. Plus, giving a child a mobile device at a young age could create a basis of expectations that makes them feel entitled to every new gadget that hits the market.

BYOT

Should schools enable students to use their personal devices in the classroom?

Without a doubt students should be aloud to use their mobile devices in the classroom. These devices will help us mentally in the classroom. We should have devices to help us in the classroom and they can be more helpful resources. I know that i would work harder!!! When im home doing homework, I love doing homework while im listening to music at the same time. It helps me do work at a better and more of a productive pace. It would get me  the right answer if i had the oppurtunity to acsses the internet at a constant rate during class.
 
School would definatly make school more interesting to me and pretty much the entire school population. We would not have to lug around all the expensive and very large books to every class that would be more and more interesting. The more interest strudents have in school, the more successful they would be. School would be a fun place to go and accsess their phones and text friends and learn math at the same time. It would help us become better men also at the same time. This program would also let us have acssess to our teachers online status so that we can have constant assistance on homework or classwork.
