    I think if they want to get people off welfare there should be a more effective way to push everyone to get back on their feet. Have the adults do volunteer work, drug testing and education and or work training to fall back on when the benefits are cut off. This will help with the adults who have no work experience or education, prevent drug users from taking advantage of the help and maybe some people will think I should just get a job that pays more. Mcdonalds pays $11.00 an hour now and you don't need an education to start plus they help pay for you to continue your education as a benefit. I was a single mom for 7 years, the struggle is real. After several different jobs I finally got stable at one, went to school full-time for 3 years then took a break, rented my own place, had a bucket for a car but got me where I needed, sacrifice and determination got me far without government help. Had I had government help maybe I would have been done with school years ago at 28 and I wouldn't be furthering my education now at 36.

    I was also a single parent of three for 13 years and yes the struggle is real but at what point do you say enough is enough? I agree people need help sometimes to get back on their feet but when do we put a limit on it? Unfortunately some do take advantage of the system and do not even put in the effort to be independent.

    I am not a mother personally, I can only imagine the struggles of having children, I can barely make it alone. However i have witnessed people around me who take advantage of this system and have heard others who pay taxes vent about how it is unfair. I agree that it would be a good idea for the government to have more opportunities for these families to get back on their feet. Drug testing would be a good idea and work experience would help them once their 12 month period ends to find an appropriate job to help with their finances.

    Amidst the global pandemic, Arizona states students are failing statewide tests in both English and Math this spring with alarming numbers. Education officials had previously advised "extreme caution" in regards to making conclusions based on the number of cases. Disruptions to in-person learning during the pandemic due to the dramatic impact on student learning suggest "inferences may be invalid", according to the department. This years tests also painted a demographic split as White and Asian students passed these exams at twice as POC students. COVID-19 pandemic has had a disparate impact on communities of color, both economically and in loss of life.

    That's crazy to hear Covid has had such a negative impact on students performance in school, it's really disheartening. It is a rough transition going from learning in school, then trying to teach yourself through online school in quarantine, it's definitely not for everyone.

    This article is very informational on the death penalty in Arizona. It shows a timeline on how the process started back in 1965, until current times. It ranges from hangings, to gas chambers, and now the lethal injections. There are examples provided as well on the different inmate cases that were sentenced the death penalty. It is more informational rather than argumentative on death penalties.

    In my opinion I'm not agree with death penalty for criminals. I know that some of them deserve death or more but I think we don't have the right to take lives away.

    I agree with you 100%. I liked this article because it stated facts on the death penalty in Arizona(informational), but it was not argumentative. It allowed me to become more educated on the topic.

    I think this link is really cool because it avoids bias but also provides measures you can take while people are practicing their freedom of expression. It's good to have links like these in case you are overwhelmed, which many parents were in the time surrounding these protests.

    It really is sad that it took such a huge movement of teachers risking their jobs to get the point that schools need more funding across. You would think that teachers would be paid fairly since they impact a students future the most.

    We all know the negative effects dropping out of high school on individuals, but have you ever thought about how the act of dropping out effects the state you live in? Those who drop out are more likely to be faced with unemployment, poor health, criminal behavior, and need for public assistance. These are all things that end up costing the state billions. This is a chronic issue in our state in particular; Arizona has been ranked one of the highest for high school dropouts for many years.

    Bullying exists everywhere! I like this article because it provides ways for an anti-bullying environment. At some point in time everyone has whiteness someone being bullied, has been bullied personally, or has been the bully. Its a tragic subject that can lead individuals to suicidal attempts and depression. How long will it take before people realize this matter is crucial especially in educational environments, social media, and even in politics.

    This is such a common topic and has been for so many years. Bullying has been around for so long and now that social media is extremely popular it seems to make it worse. We have to do all we can to prevent this due to so many students committing suicide because of such extreme bullying.
  • nat2142094 on 30 Jan 17
     
    As a parent of a bullying victim, I feel there is much that can be fixed when dealing with this issue. the only thing you can do as a parent is talk to the administration and after that, your hands are tied. They are the ones that talk to the student and the student's parent. The only notification you get is that they had a meeting. In the meantime, your child is being retaliated against, their self-esteem continues to deteriorate and their schoolwork suffers. I wish there could be a more proactive approach. There came a time that I didn't get any communication until I sent an email to the entire school staff, Principal, and Superintendent.
  • dennibro on 30 Jan 17
     
    Its definitely an issue that far too often is overlooked. I am not a parent, and can only imagine how parents feel when their son or daughter is a victim of bullying. The issue definitely needs to be addressed, no one should have to attend school worried or concerned about how their day is going to go. It is very saddening, and disheartening.

    It's so heartbreaking to know that people have to dig through the trash to just get some "food". I don't think anyone wants to be homeless I think that people get to a low and have a hard time picking themselves up. It's the volunteers and organizations who give a helping hand out to get these people back up.

    Homelessness is something every state has, weather its minimal or like Arizona ranking the 15th highest in the U.S. This article displays information on the different parts of AZ; Maricopa leading with 61% of the 71% of homeless people. This includes, families, single moms with children, and mainly men. In detail, it also list the main reasons people become homeless.

    I have heard many times and experience with my own family that it is hard to find the right school for children of any special needs. Autism in particular is what I often hear about. This website talks about the different schools offered in Arizona for children who need plans that are geared toward them. Meaning a lot of these schools don't teach the same stuff at the same time to all children. They make individual learning plans. This is so each kid can learn at their own pace and succeed. This is a great article for anyone who may need assistance with schooling, doing a report on special needs education or even if you are interested on this subject.

    Even coming from somebody who carries, I think schools are right to punish a student for having a gun in their car. One because its not allowed, and two because its not allowed! Keep it at home.
  • kay2152202 on 01 Sep 19
     
    I completely agree with students being punished for having guns in cars at school. If it is against the rules then there should be consequences. In my opinion, it is the same has taking a gun to a sporting event or in a hospital, if it is it allowed it is simply not allowed.

    Racism in America still exists and probably always will, especially toward the Latino community. Their acceptance in the work place and in education institutions are frequently effected by evidence a stereotypical bias. This is true prejudice at its core and continues to crosses generations.
  • sebastianw1991 on 27 Jan 17
     
    Growing up in Arizona I had no idea what racism was. My high school was predominantly Hispanic and I never saw prejudice towards them or hatred to me. It wasn't until I was an adult that I began to realize the problem with racism. Although I do believe that America is still the greatest country, any other country that you can say deals with racism better is just more white, and doesn't have to deal with it. I cannot say that there are not people here who believe, for some insane reason, that America is a suppose to be "white" and anyone of a different race is an "immigrant." I am hopeful that as each generation is born a small part of racism dies.
