The Pros And Cons Of Debate

Have you ever heard a child complain to someone about something happening at school or about them being too tired to do something because of at school or from not getting enough sleep? Kids now hardly get sleep because of after school activities ending too late, from staying up late to do homework, etc. I believe that if we cut back recess just a little that kids will have more time to get their homework, or classwork finished so they don’t have to worry about it later on.

Class time is over, and it is finally time for recess! Thousands of children all over the world go out for recess in the middle of their school day. They go outside and just have fun! The younger children play on the playground, while older kids and teens either play athletic games or socialize. But, after 15 to 20 minutes, the whistle blows. It is the end of recess. “Awwwww!” most kids and teens say when they hear the whistle. “We need more time!” other kids say. Well, children and teens are exactly right. They do need a longer recess. According to researchers, studies have shown that children and teens need more recess time. A longer recess time would be helpful because it would help children and teens with many things.

We strongly agree with this comment/claim. So my class decided to do a little research on this “sore subject”and we found a website which enlightened us a lot. This website is called debate.org and it has a lot of arguments/facts on many subjects. For example this situation we are talking about currently. This site helped me build an opinion on this discussion. My opinion is that students should not go to school for 8 hours. One reason is because most kids don’t like to go to school to begin with. I know because because a poll on debate.org says 89% of students say no we shouldn’t have an eight hour school day, and 11% percent say yes we should.They support their claim by clearly stating students can “Use time after school for other things and the school district will save money.Students could do many thing after school like: Sleep, get home faster, play video games for release of stress,sports,homework, and other activities outside of school.The school district can save money by: Teachers working less hours so they get

Many schools are now organizing school day schedules to maximize instructional time and minimize non-instructional time, such as recess (Pellegrini & Bohn, 2005). Schools made this shift in response to increased state testing and the associated pressures of funding. Some also believe that the shift to more instructional time and less non-instructional time was worsened with the adoption of Common Core standards in elementary schools. However, this may not be the best move for schools or for long-term student success.

If you had the opportunity to change one school rule, which one would it be? Most kids don’t like school rules. They want to carry their cellphones with them, and be able to have sugary snacks and drinks, etc. However, of all these rules, there is one rule that I think would be most beneficial to students and teachers if it were changed: Having recess. Currently, most middle schools do not provide a recess time at all, and this includes our middle school. Having recess would benefit our students and school environment for many reasons. If middle schoolers were provided just 30 minutes of recess every day, their bodies would be healthier, their mood would be better, and their minds would have a better ability to focus and concentrate on their school work as well.

The challenge I had when developing my argument was the digging I had to do to obtain articles that worked to help me make it valid. I needed some that supported what my argument was but was more than words written by a random someone, wanted articles from journals and other reliable sources. Also, the dates were important too as I didn't want to use

`Students should be able to go to school later and get more sleep. Not only because sleep, but because of activities they will be partaken in after school. Also, students should be able to have time to do anything they wanted to do after school. Lastly, students should be able to have enough time when they wake up to eat and get ready in a reasonable

To start things off, the school board should not add anymore time to the school day because the students will have less time to do homework. For many kids, homework is extremly stressful, and that can

Unfortunately, the way physical education is led at Prairie Ridge High School, students take the path of least resistance and don’t benefit from class. On a very basic level, the argument at hand is that exercise is good for students, so physical education should be mandatory. But getting nine hours of sleep every night is good for students, and neither the school nor the state is monitoring students sleeping habits. Have manageable stress and anxiety levels is good for students, so where is the forty-two minutes built into students’ schedule allowing them to take a deep breath and relax? There isn’t enough time or resources to mandate everything that is good for students. And in order for students to make the most of the time and resources available, they need to be granted the freedom to make choices about their education. That starts with eradicating mandatory

In addition, I have done some observations on school recess. The school is working towards making recess improvements and my

E 1,4 The argument is valid because step (4) follows from (2) and (3) through the Conjunction Introduction Rule, and (5) follows from premise (1) and step (4) through the Disjunction Elimination rule.

The strengths of our team was hostility during the crossfire. My team went in on the other team during the crossfire questions. Since we went in on them like that it allowed them to jumble their answers and give us what we wanted which is saying that no matter what there will always be weapons with the assault weapons ban act. Another strength with our team is that we knew how to answer their questions. This was a big deal because had we not answered the questions to where we would have the advantage we would have lost every crossfire. Our weakness was our rebudle it didn't provide enough of a punch to really get the other team where they struggled. We should have improved our process of the plan.

In the article it has stated that a form of physical activity can reduce illnesses and even prevent cognitive illness like dementia. In the last decade cognitive disease has been a common disease that has affected a lot of society, unfortunately there has been no cure for dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. However, there has been some studies that have suggested that forms of cardio workout for men and women shows a decrease in dementia development within older adults more prone to cognitive illnesses. Exercising is a good form of preventive care from disease and illnesses that can affect many adults who hit middle age years. It has said that “exercising enhances the production of neurotrophic factors and increases cerebral flow” (Weigmann,
