JCCS Academic Language Assessment Week 31 - Vandalism
Should parents be held accountable for their child's damage? Yes! I and other people feel this way becuase in order for a child to ACHIEVE great things they need someone in their lives to help motivate them and usually that is their parent. If a child's parent were neglecting them they tend to do things out of loneliness and this alone can be blamed on the parent. Also, when disciplining their child parents need to be more SPECIFIC when it comes to rules. If this happens, the child wouldn't want to do things to earn consequences. Lastly, when parents see that their child is starting to act out or change they should address the matter immediately and try their best to COMPUTE it. In conclusion, when teens act up there is always a reason behind it and I feel that parents is a crucial part of that so if their child is doing wrong things such as vandalism, they need to be held respossible.

JCCS Academic Language Assessment Week 30 - "D" Grades
Yes, I do think schools should eliminate "D" grades. I feel this way because I think that if a student tries his/her hardest, they should at least earn a B. I think earning a "D" is not a way of COMPENSATING for not getting the best grade possible so why not just get an "F". I feel that to most people and a "D" is failing anyway. Also, I've realized that INITIALLY when school starts, I and other students have really good grades and then gradually they start to fall. I think that as the school year extends, the harder the work, but just because the assignments call for more effort doesn't mean a student should turn in mediocre work. Lastly, if a student feels that he/she needs help to maintain at least a "C" average they should INTERACT more with their peers and adults in their life so they can help them keep those grades up. In conclusion, we may have "D" grades in schools now, but I feel that soon the school board is going to realize that the grade makes students settle for less when they can try harder to earn a better grade.

JCCS Academic Language Assessment Week 29 - School Conferences
No, parents should not face jail time for missing their child's school conferences. For example, on one occasion a parent might fully intend on going to their child's school conference but sometimes emergencies come up and and they may have to SEEK immediate help. Most parents would say that incidents like this don't happen that often but are possible. Does this mean they should face jail time? Also, if parents were to miss their child's school conference and were thrown in jail, their child would be left in the hands of someone who is not their caregiver and I think that parents are and important RESOURCE to the child's well being. In addition, some parents are very dedicated and loving of their children, and some would say that missing a school conference is a minor offense and that they do not deserve to be TRANSFERRED to a jail for something so little. In conclusion, unfortunately there are parents out there who neglect their children who may deserve to be punished but the ones who actually care should not have to suffer such extreme consequences.
