JCCS Academic Language Assessment Week 28 - Truant Students

No, Global Positioning System (GPS) devices should not be required for habitually truant students. This a very important matter and I and other students, parents, and guardians think that consistent truancies should be handled in another appropriate way. Although truancy is a violation of school CONDUCT, ADMINISTERING the use of such devices shifts accountability for that student from their caretakers, to the school. Most students and adults would feel that these devices on students would be taking an extreme and unnecessary step to prevent these truancies. Also, at home the students who are consistent with their truancies may already have a plan set in place with different ELEMENTS to support them in going to their classes and staying there. GPS devices are not the way to handle truancies for they may even cause more problems on school grounds with students not wanting to wear them and parents feeling that it is not the school's job to intervene with things they feel they can handle themselves.

JCCS Academic Language Assessment Week 26 - Cars

Yes, I would want a car that drives itself. I say this because I feel that a car that drives itself would be very useful. Not only do I feel this way, but many drivers who already have experience would probably say the same. One reason I and others would like a car that drives itself would be is we were to be doing something important at the wheel, most people would want to put all their attention on it such as sending a very important text or email.With a car that drives itself it would give people the ability to PROCEED with their tasks. Another reason why this gadget would be very helpful with the everyday life of someone is if someone was not a very good driver the computer and camera inside would follow its METHOD of detecting things in front and back of it and not letting any fetal accidents happen. Most people would say that this will save many lives. On the subject of accidents I feel that most people think that less accidents OCCUR when driving a self sufficient car. With this I and a lot of other U.S citizens think that these new cars are very helpful and a great way to prevent trouble.
