    This article talks about four different high school shootings that happen in Arizona. Students are bringing guns to school and are found inside their vehicle. Rumors on social media have been reported to the police thta a student was suspected to bring a gun to school.

    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.

    I don't think that interacting with police is what causes students to be more likely to go to prison. If the police are in the schools and positively interacting with students, I feel that the students are made to be more aware of their decisions. However, if it is one of the schools in a very poor community that has a high crime rate and a lot of drugs, then those kids are prison bound no matter if they interact with police or not. I am not saying all those kids are bad, but the bad eggs are heading that way regardless.

    A recent report released by the Annie E. Casey Foundation suggests that only about one-third of children in grade school meet expectations in cognitive ability by 3rd grade. Additionally, children from low-income families were much less likely to be on track in areas such as physical development, social/emotional growth, and school engagement. The report noted a distinct relation between family education and earnings. According to the data collected from families of children under the age of 8, half of the families who earned a higher income had a head of household with at least a 4-year college degree. In contrast, the head of household in the majority of low-income families had at best a high school diploma.

    This is such a shame, and I am sure this is very frustrating for both parents and teachers. I really enjoyed helping in my daughters' classes but did see firsthand students who were struggling. Funding for education is not where it should be so classes don't have aides and assistants to spend extra time working with kids who need additional help.

    One third of children in the U. S. is overweight or obese, and this number is continuing to rise. Children have fewer weight-related health and medical problems than adults. However, overweight children are at high risk of becoming overweight adolescents and adults, placing them at risk of developing chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes later in life.

    Obesity in children in our country happens to have the highest percentage in comparison with other countries. I think we, as parents and we, as responsible adults can change this. We should have in schools mandatory pysical education classes, at least once a week. and it would still make a difference. Also, the school snacks or lunches, the menu needs adjustment and changed to a more nutritional one, not one that is high in calories. Now, I know that kids love fast food, but if that can be limited I think would change something. Sometimes us, the parents we are making this mistake, being in a hurry out of convenience, we buy some fast food and dinner ready. Of course, the child loves it and everyone is happy, but if we do this over and over, the result is child obesity and health issues related to that. The change needs to start with us, as adults in the choices we make.

    Diet and activity is so important especially when it comes to children. Adults are supposed to engage children in daily activities and teach them while they are young to have a clean eating diet. The U.S. definitely has the highest rates when it comes to obesity. With all the fast and processed foods around it just makes it convenient for us all to buy.
  • aus2127741 on 29 Jan 17
     
    Parents who let their children become obese are abusive. Also these so called "healthy" menus at schools are often nothing more than calorie restrictions. For example, my former high school Ironwood often only served a slice of pizza and that is it and charged $2.75. Students would instead by 2 slices of pizza from vendors for a dollar each. Also many students just skip lunch all together and snack after they get home from school. Another problem is the budget. Cafeteria workers make very little money and have a small amount of money to spend,. As a result cafeterias serve junk food because it is cheaper. Also many parents use the busy excuse to be neglectful of their children's health.
  • che2146091 on 29 Jan 17
     
    To say that parents who let their children become obese are abusive have never struggled with weight. But that too is a generalization. There are so many children that are on fighting diseases and are given medication that has side effects of weight gain.One of these drugs is steroids. My daughter is fighting several different battles she was born with. She is on steroids, by the doctor, to fight one of the diseases. She is also a love vegetables and fruits. She swims every week. She takes tap, ballet, jazz and gymnastics. She is overweight, but very fit. Some diseases are ruthless. To say that being overweight is because you eat pizza and that you are unhealthy is just wrong. There are many ways that you can be unhealthy. Looks can be deceiving. Don't judge that book until you read it

    High blood pressure at such a young age is horrible. The parents are not the only ones at fault but our society is at fault for allowing to go as far as it has gone. As "aus2127741", states about the school systems lack of nutritional value is absolutely correct, it being disgusting.
  • cheyennehorne on 29 Jan 17
     
    Obesity in children is often sad to see but it is becoming very prevalent in American society. In my opinion, a mixture of an extremely sedentary lifestyle as well as poor nutritional choices at school and at home contribute largely to this issue. Because children now have a multitude of indoor activities that don't necessarily get them on their feet and a lack of overall knowledge on what is a decent, balanced diet I'm not really surprised to see this issue skyrocketing.

    Obesity is still rising especially because of the pandemic that we are going through which made families quarantine for a long time. It is very sad that the obesity rates only have increased.

    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.

    The article studies the relationship between cyberbullying and school bullying. The results show that students who are bullied in cyberspace are at higher risk of being bullied at school as well. Additionally, students who are bullied in cyberspace or in both cyberspace and school are at high risk of low grades, poor concentration, and absenteeism. Bullying has a direct impact on learning whether it occurs in cyberspace or at school.

    Bullying does effect a student's ability to learn, whether it is cyber or not. It can lesson their focus in school and in their social life. Cyber bullying is worse because it can come in many forms. The internet is everywhere and anyone can use it against someone.

    I think it should be common sense that if someone is spending more time getting cyber bullied on top of getting in school bullied as well, If it was me I would not be doing my work. People just need to stop and think before they post.

This article talks about this new mandate and its implications and the effects that it might have. The article also provides reasons on why it was decided that sex ed should be a required class and its benefits.

    Very interesting! I can honestly see valid points on both sides of the argument. As a parent, I feel it my responsibility to educate my children about sex. However, there are many parents who do not take the time to educate their children. This is a tough situation...not as cut and dry as other topics on this board.

    I don't think this is a bad idea. I took sex education in middle school and am almost 30 now. I never did understand why it was phased out. Sex is real and can be dangerous and young adults should know all that comes with participating in something so mature.
  • bri2209985 on 25 Jan 17
     
    Sex ed should be a choice for kids to take in accordance to their parents, for myself when I was younger we had to have a signed paper from our parents giving us permission to take part in the sex ed class and for those parents who said no and wanted to teach there kid themselves went to another room. I see both sides to this article and its a very well informative piece.
  • jodibarrett on 25 Jan 17
     
    I think a semester of sex ed would be great. When I was in school it was just a 55 minute lecture with a couple of videos. I understand why some people may be upset with this, however, those people must understand that not every child has an involved parent who are capable or willing to educate their children. I think safe sex is integral for our children to learn. I believe it could help lower the stats of sexually transmitted disease and teen pregnancies.

    Children with special needs or a disability have the right to an education and to go to school. In this article, it goes over that in New Orleans, families with children that have a disability are facing a huge problem. Schools are rejecting these students, which is discrimination. The schools that they are sending the children to aren't equipped to teach most of these children, either.
  • lac2151813 on 29 Jan 17
     
    I know in Peoria, AZ a lot of high schools such as Liberty and Sunrise Mountain have special education classrooms for students with disabilities so that they are able to learn at their own pace while still taking in useful information and progressing throughout their years of schooling. I feel as if every school should have programs for these students. Just because they don't learn at the same pace as others, does not mean they should not be able to get an education.

    The school uniform debate is one of personal freedom. Can schools prevent our children's personal express by requiring uniforms or does uniforms help prevent some issues like improper dress, foul language and graphics and keep the focus on education not who is wearing what.
  • ashleyfee96 on 08 Sep 14
     
    One constitutional controversy raging in public schools today concerns mandatory school uniforms and dress codes. Proponents contend such measures instill discipline and prevent gang-related violence. They say uniforms and some dress codes lessen peer pressure aggravated by socioeconomic divisions, promote a unity of spirit and help administrators more quickly identify trespassers on school grounds.
