This article talks about how same sex couples can raise a well rounded kid as well as a heterosexual couple can. It even gives statistics on how well the children are doing with the same sex couples. They also say that a child growing up with a same sex couple does not always have differences in self esteem or gender identity or many other things. They turn out just fine.

The article goes over many of the issues that parents, teachers, and children are having with common core. Parents are noticing children having an increased stressed level which they attribute to common core. In the authors opinion, teachers are required to follow a script, for fear of job loss. Some programs have also been cut from school like PE and Music.

I don't think the common core is good. Kids at the age of 6 should not be stressed. The programs that have been cut were actually a good way for kids to engage and explore in what they are really interested in for the future time.

No six year old or any child should be stressed out about school until at least high school. The core is defiantly not a good thing to have for any education.

the fact that schools have to cut programs just to support this "teaching style/ criteria" is insane. Music and gym and various other activities are ways for kids to get out of the cultural norm of academia and express themselves. I cant even imagine what my school would of been like without those things.

Medical Marijuana has been studied to fight cancer cells and make those in too much pain to be comfortable. Why shouldn't this be legal? Plus, kids on the street on going to use it anyway, why not be able to control it? It would be easier to moderate that way.

In this article, the author explain how if legalizing marijuana or cannabis, you benefit those with medical needs. Not only that, but it will allow the government to better controls it from the youth. Also proposes that it is better than other things the youth tries out, like alcohol, and cocaine.
