Imagine having an immense test tomorrow and not being prepared at all. Your palms are sweating and your heart is racing. This test could make, or break your grade. You try extremely hard to pay attention, but some kid right next to you won't stop flipping his water bottle. They not only are making it tough for you to concentrate, but they can’t either. Bottle flipping has been an annoyance to many people, whether it be parents, teachers, or even fellow peers. Is it really worth your time? No doubt bottle flipping is a big distraction from your school work. Instead of focusing on the important things many kids just concentrate on how many times there bottle lands. It messes with your learning skills, and it also causes unnecessary attention from your teacher. Is flipping a water bottle worth getting in trouble? Many schools have even banned water bottle flipping for this reason, such as Fulston Manor School in Sittingbourne, Kent, according to Paddy Dinham. The article says that the reason this decision came to be was so they could, “...avoid problems created by litter, messing about in lessons and pupils indulging in the current craze of flipping bottles with all the intended and unintended consequences this produces.” It’s basically a game, and we wouldn’t just pull out a board game in the middle of class and start …show more content…
However, many people spend their precious time doing things that don’t matter instead of things such as studying, spending time with family, ETC. Do you really want bottle flipping to define you? The number of things you could do with that time is limitless, so why waste it? Although I’m against bottle flipping I will admit that it is a fun activity to do when you are bored. It creates endless amounts of fun with something you can find just about anywhere. On the other hand it should really only be something to do in your free time, not at school or other places of
In order to increase productivity and learning time in school, administrators should allow students to carry backpacks to their classes. As a result of bringing backpacks to class, students will come to class prepared and organized, with no reason to return to their locker. Often times students forget their supplies and must utilize class time to retrieve the forgotten materials. With backpacks, students will already have their materials with them, eliminating the need to waste class time. Another advantage of allowing backpacks in class is that it will give students plenty of time to use the restroom between classes as opposed to during lecture time. High schools are notoriously larger than middle and elementary schools, therefore the five-minutes
Chapter 2: Beginnings of English America, 1607- 1660 English colonists established Jamestown( “sixty miles inland on the the James River”) in order to protect themselves from any Spanish warships. Named specifically for the king of England, although the voyage was not promoted by the king or queen/ government, but was funded by the Virginia Company. The Virginia Company was more intrigued in exploiting the land’s natural resources than establishing a society.
Firstly, a lot of students agree that we should be allowed to carry backpacks. A poll in our school proves that 19 out of 20 kids say yes to this thesis. Also, many middle schoolers complain about having to carry their stuff with them to all of their classes. It can get really annoying if things keep falling or sliding off. Another thing deals with the lockers. Some lockers are hard to get open and that can be frustrating. Especially when the bell rings and the lockers still won’t open. Having our backpacks with us would be so much easier.
The reason for millions of people using plastic water bottles is that everyone needs to drink water. However, many people do not know that a plastic bottle can be more harmful than beneficial for the drinker’s health. Refillable water bottles (which may be plastic but are made for refillable use) should be used instead of plastic bottles because they are cheaper, healthier, and better for the Earth.
I have challenged myself in many ways throughout my educational life. One area of interest that I am proud I have pursued is my contribution to the community, by volunteering at Cats Only Veterinary Clinic. This position taught me a lot about myself and helped me learn about some areas I would like to explore in the future. I have been spending extra time learning information about the biology and chemistry of a cat to help me with my future educational goals. The Veterinarians at the Cats Only Clinic have been extremely kind to me by letting me get involved in learning more about the science behind cats. I have got the satisfaction of being able to observe surgical and no surgical operations like Radiology (x-rays), Dentistry, Spaying, Neutering,
I believe that students should have access to vending and soda machines. This is because, they would have more freedom, would have more options, and the students would be happy and kind to others. This is why students should be able to have soda and vending machines.
First, allowing students to carry backpacks around the school day would save everyone time. Since backpacks have a good amount of space and multiple pockets and sleeves it would allow students to carry multiple learning supplies or personal hygiene products. Like tissues, binders, laptops and pencils. The use of backpacks show that it helps students become more organized and don’t have to search their locker sifting through the debris of papers, pencils, old projects and other binders. This means less locker stops, which means less congestion in the hallways and this allows students to stop on the way to class. Like to use the restrooms,talk to a friend or personal hygiene needs. Teachers also wouldn’t have to waste class time writing a pass
On the 29th of August, 2005, Hurricane Katrina rampaged through the United States, causing 125 billion dollars in damage, resulting in over a million houses destroyed and 80% of New Orleans flooded. Millions of people were left with undrinkable tap water, yet as a result, companies like the American Beverage Association donated more than 200,000 cases of bottled water (about 5 million water bottles) to the victims of Hurricane Katrina. However, if the United States had banned water bottles beforehand, what would have happened to those who needed it? As it is clearly know, water is such a vital necessity in plants, animals, and humans that without convenient, clean water, all life on Earth would eventually die.
Bottled water should not be banned at north shore middle school because if you ban water bottles, then you are saying you can bring any sort of water to school.
Slosh. Clonk. Crush. A sound familiar to anyone who has given the water bottle flipping challenge a shot. Who knew tossing a water bottle up in the air would create such a craze. However, there is more to bottled water than a means to playing a fun game. Bottled water has become a vital part of today’s world. Undoubtedly, bottled water in some way has touched everyone’s life from times of disaster, to underdeveloped countries, and to the American job market, and while some feel bottled water is unsafe for the environment and question the safety of consumer ingestion, alternative eco-friendly materials are being developed, and no
Schools all across the nation have been notoriously known for banning a ridiculous ammount of things; one of whixh that is now being considered is water. Belive it or not many schools are now thinking about banning bottled water. The articals ¨Goodbye Bottled Water?¨ ,by Gail Hennessey, and ¨Statement from the Internation Bottled Water Association¨ ,by the IBWA, give very different veiws on this topic. Our schools shoulnt not ban bottled water for many reason such as our rights, our health, and tap water contamination.
Drink spiking is rapidly becoming a serious issue in todays society, with almost 20% of adolescents having had their drink tampered with, without their approval (Qld Gov, 2013). The effects and ramifications associated with this crime are substantial. Therefore, it should become a priority to help identify these culprits, and introduce solutions to prevent this from happening. Such solutions might include drink covering strategies, safety suggestions and identification of tampered drinks. These strategies will assist in the promotion of this problem, and the prevention of the spiking of drinks.
The water bottle industry is one of the fastest growing industries in the United States. This being said, our landfills are filled with more than eighty five percent of plastic bottles. Their long lifetime and thoughtless consumers are not only filing our dumps with these plastic bottles, but hurting our oceans too. Since water bottles do not biodegrade, they can float aimlessly on the ocean surface for years. They also may cause a passing predator to be fooled into thinking it is a resting prey. Little did that predator know, they were going to have a serious stomach ache trying to digest a plastic bottle. It also pollutes the soil and waterways as well. Besides the space water bottles physically fill, their production waste is just as dire. In America alone, we use about seventeen
Plastic water bottles are seen and consumed everywhere. Without knowing the deadly effects that water bottles have on the environment, consumers will keep buying them and contribute to the problem. About 17 million barrels of oil are used each year solely to make water bottles
