Why We Should Be Banned From Schools

In the article should candy and soda be banned from school, written by Tom Vilsack and J. Justin Wilson, they explain their theory on schools banning candy and soda. Although both articles were very convincing, I would say I agree with J. Justin Wilson and his theory that schools should not ban candy and soda. There are certain factors that led me to choosing his theory. For one, I believe that schools should not have the right to decide our ways of eating, because to me this seems like a personal decision. Also, banning these items in school will not make too much of a difference in the students eating choices. Another factor is that a student’s food type decisions can be affected by what they eat at home.

Research has found that when kids get enough exercise, their learning skills, attitude and behavior at school improve. The same is true when they have access to healthy food choices. By helping kids be more physically active and eat well, we help them succeed academically, better preparing them for lifelong success.

In the article Should Candy and Soda be Banned from Schools the writer of this article shows the both sides of whether candy and soda should be banned from schools or not.I agree with the writer that candy and soda should be banned from schools because it is our first step in stopping obesity in our nation. The reason in why I agree with the writer is because that our generation is known to be overweight or even obese, but if we can switch out the unhealthy food and bring in healthier food we can stop obesity before it even happens.

Doctors in training call it "pimping." A medical student or junior resident is abruptly put on the spot, sometimes during patient rounds, as an instructor fires off difficult questions about anatomy, diagnostic protocols, or surgical procedures.[1] The practice is defended in pretty much the same way that other forms of humiliation, bullying, hazing, orpunishment are defended: Keeps 'em on their toes! Shows 'em I mean business! Toughens 'em up for when other people abuse them later! And of course that old chestnut:I suffered through it; why shouldn't they?[2]

The importance of fitness during the teens years is the most important thing in a teens life, during your teen years your metabolism slows down by how old you get. As a kid your metabolism was fast, that's why most kids were active during those years but once you start going to school it starts to decrease. " Children in school for example were most active from 2pm to 6pm, which could reflect the fact that they are sitting in a classroom for most of the day until mid afternoon" (Park 5). Also "Kids may not be getting much exercise because they are not getting enough sleep and are too tired to be physically active" (Park 5). Kids probably don't get enough sleep due to cell phones, video games, and eating sugar at night causing

However, kids have the right to learn to make healthy choices in their life, and by telling them what they can and cannot eat, school boards are making their life decisions for them. Taking away vending machines is telling students that they can't eat junk food. According to psychology, when authority figures tell someone not to do something, their urge to do that thing is much higher if they had just let it go. According to Business Insider, "When someone discourages someone else from doing something, they often feel that their freedom is being threatened, which motivates them to regain choice and control by doing exactly the opposite. Experiments show that children become more interested in a toy after they're put under severe rather than mild pressure not to play with it, and children and adults become more likely to taste fatty foods when labels explicitly warn against them". The fact is, the forbidden fruit always tastes so much sweet. Kids are going to do what they want to matter what, so instead of trying to forbid them from doing or eating something, let them learn to make their own life decisions. As Mark Twain once wrote, “Adam was but human… He did not want the apple for the apple’s sake, he wanted it only because it was

Books allow for creativity and the finding of oneself in the world. Elementary school through high school is a time when kids are figuring out who they are and how they will present themselves to the world. With this mission in mind, books grant access to many life lessons and new worlds that students may not have known existed. though there is much good to come from reading and expanding one’s knowledge, sometimes students stumble upon books that do not send the right message. Some believe that when students get a hold of books with the wrong message, it can have negative consequences and repercussions.

Giving student access to eat and drink soda in campus will not only hurt the way students need to eat but it will also hurt our environment.Many students love to eat candy and drink soda but if we take action by banning candy and soda the environment would not look messy by the rappers.Take action now because later when students get comfortable with bringing candy and soda, there are going to be students selling the items to other students.Letting the students eat candy and soda is practically saying that the school and administration don’t care about your weight.It's like saying if the government doesn't care about your weight limits.Eating things like that are

Has anyone ever told you how dangerous it could be for your teen to be out past midnight? You may say something along the lines of “Oh come on, they’re not that dangerous.” The worriers however would say something like, “How could I ever!?” Sometimes living life in the fast life, not having a real early curfew is great, but what about if your kid is going to do something you wouldn’t approve of? Would this simple report change your mind?

Schools are preparing students for a world that doesn’t exist. Schools’ learning curriculums teach us students facts, but never teach us how to use the facts or why they’re important for us to know. If you were to turn into an adult in the next ten minutes, you wouldn’t know the first thing to do as an adult, on your own in the real world. Think about where you’d live, who your family would be, what car you’d have, what food you’d eat, what job you’d have, what’d you do if you were held at gunpoint, what to say to anyone who asks you a question or gets mad at you for whatever reason or even what you’d do if your car stopped in the middle of nowhere without cell phone service. Maybe you’re able to answer some of those but definitely not most.

Students shouldn't have to learn topics that they pick not too. Could you image building and working hard on a sand castle for three hours only for it to fall down with only part of it left? Make that three hours fifteen years, that's out current education system in a nutshell.

Yes, no, maybe so? These four words are used everyday to describe issues among our countries population. One main concern for our country today and even closer to home, our school can be described with these four words. Freedom of Speech, Freedom of the Press, Freedom of Religion, the right to peaceably assemble and Freedom to Petition. In schools across America, students first amendment rights are questioned, or tweaked because of the fact that they are in public schools. I personally believe that even though we are students in a school district, never should any of our rights be taken away. I completely understand the issue of not completely having our constitutional rights as American citizens. In public schools across the states students

Every student enrolled in Cameron High School should be able to get the highest quality of education available. However, in fact, we are not getting what we need to achieve this. The students of LA III have decided we no longer deserve to suffer educationally because of the limits and restrictions of the school district. We will no longer settle for less because of a faulty system within the school.

Systematic reviews have suggested that those under the age of 18 years of age should have at least 60 minutes/day of physical activity in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle (Janssen & LeBlanc, 2010). As emphasized before, exercise should and may be incorporated whenever possible. Curriculums with physical education included may optimize what is already present, such as breaks between classes and programs that can be offered before or after school. Naperville, Illinois created an exercise model in which P.E. classes were scheduled before academic classes to give the children a boost and to create an enhanced state of attention (Ratey, 2009). These P.E. classes focused on the individual student’s fitness abilities and encouraged students to increase their heart rate by 80 to 90 percent, monitored by a heart monitor, at their own ideal pace. Exercising before the hardest classes allowed the students to relax and to clear their mind, so as to be able to focus on the next subject fully. Naperville’s model proved to be successful, and showed that a class of 230,000 eighth-grade students finished first in science in the world, and sixth in mathematics on the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) in 1999 (Ratey, 2009). Not only that, 3 percent of an entire sophomore

The world is hell. Just by looking at it; you could melt. Like an ice on hot sunny day; your skin will boil and bones turned into ashes. Everybody watches the news right? What does it show, when the channel is flipped on the news? Usually when it’s flipped to the news; mostly like a fire outbreak would be on. Some reporters would say something like, ‘what we have here is a fire; Tom. It has mostly been still ongoing since 4:00 am this morning and it is a tragedy.’ Have you ever felt the presence of flames? Sure you have. If you've been to a BBQ, then you have felt the presence of the flames. You could feel the heat on your skin; though it isn't touching you, but it is so hot that it feels like you’re being burned. Imagine an enormous fire. Fires occur almost every single day. It burns buildings and etc. Once a fire is started, it will be hard to put out; since the flame
