Driving depending on school grades?



Driving should depend on school grades and attendance. One reason is that students are focused more on driving than school. Another reason is that due to driving they are now low percentages of students graduating, and my last reason is that due to driving many students have truancies.

One main reason why students are focusing more in school is that they think that driving is more important than school. Experts say “ Grades aren’t just important for the future but are safe for driving behavior. Studies have shown that having good grades is helpful for being safe on the road. For example, in New York students with poor grades get their drivers license suspended. Another reason is that students that are students are mostly dropping out due to many student truancies.

Another main reason is that they are low percentages of students graduating.One important fact was that in 2008 there was a low percentage of 43, students graduating. San Diego has now improved in the percentages of students graduating in high schools. In 2012 a high percentage of 81 high school students graduated due to suspending their drivers license which motivated them to do better and get their grades up and be better. Experts say that graduation rates have really improves this year by students doing better with grades.

Old: English Homework: “Letter to Mrs. Laba” April 9, 2014

Dear Mrs. Laba My name is Sheila and I am a seventh grader. I am really happy in having you here in iMiddle like our principal. I am really excited that we are now going to have a new principal but I would want to tell you something important such as making new better changes in this school. One change is that P.E classes should not be everyday but they could be 1 day that we didn’t have P.E like Fridays. Another change that I would like is making iparties more fun and interesting because sometimes they are not really fun and enjoyable. An example of making it a little more fun would be like taking music bands to sing like last year in 2013 a music band named “After Romeo” came to our school and let me tell you it was really fun. Also we could have more school time. I would really like for an 8th period that would be really fun but anyways I would also want to help other students that need help like students with disabilities or people that sometimes don’t understand classwork. I think these changes would really work anyways thank you very much Mrs. Laba for reading this letter I hope you like this school. Sincerely, Sheila Olmos

New: Sheila Olmos Ramos Innovation Middle School San Diego, CA 92117

Dear Mrs. Labas,

Welcome back to Innovation Middle School. We are really glad to have you at this school. This is my first year in iMiddle and I am really glad in meeting you. I would really love to tell you some changes we could have at this school. First of all this school is amazing. We have awesome iparties, we have pretty cool school dances, and especially fun Fridays. But on the other side there are some things that should change like dress code. One reason dress code should change is because sometimes girls want t wear tank tops because it is really hot outside. Also I believe that hearing music should be allowed because students concentrate more and get better grades. The website [] says “It doesn’t necessarily make teens smarter, but it can help teens develop the intellect they have to its fullest potential. Students who study with certain kinds of music playing can develop better study skills, and this can lead to better grades.” That is the reason why I believe that hearing music in schools should be allowed. Also good things at school are rewards and celebrations for students within have good grades. These are some opinions I think our school should change and thank you very much for reading this letter. Sincerely, Sheila

My Mom: Date: 14/ Jan/ 2014 My mom is my number one best friend. She is my best friend besides being my mom because she supports me like nobody else besides my dad but I like talking to her about everything she gives me the trust to talk about anything that happens to me even. I trust in my mom because I know that even when she gets mad at me she would never tell anybody my secrets I love my mom she tries to give me everything I want, and I need to be a better daughter and try to obey and listen to everything she tells me even if I don’t agree sometimes or don’t like what she is telling me but anyways I love her. Many of my friends think we look alike but mostly every body tells me I look a lot like my dad but me and my mom are similar in the smile and we both are curious and creative. But even if we have our daughter and mom disgust I will always lover her. What I most like about my mom is her smile and her advice its like a black and white picture becomes a colorful full of joy picture. And besides everything she would always be best friend forever.

Characteristics: respect, responsibility, compassion, courage, perseverance, trust, honesty, gratitude, self-discipline, and citizenship.

The importance of all these characteristics is important but also really valuable. Many people believe that they deserve respect but when really is when they need to earn respect. An example of respect is like this: teachers at iMiddle show respect to the principal as well as students show respect to students. Also responsibility is an act of much importance. I have a friend that always is responsible she always makes sure that she writes down her homework, or maybe trying to complete her classwork in class. But responsibility is not just about that it is also about having responsibility for yourself like being responsible for your action it is always really necessary and important to be responsible. Compassion a very important word the definition of being there for someone that needs you or someone you care about I might not show compassion every day but I really care about my friends and mostly when they feel sad or are not in a good mood I always try to at least make them smile and try to make their day because life is not for being sad or angry life is about being happy and living like if it was the last day of your life. Courage is encouraging people to never give up because with perseverance everything is possible if you are the one who believes that you can make that dream, that goal come to you by believing in yourself. Trust may be really hard because sometimes friends talk about the private stuff you told them but let me tell you something not all people are like that theirs people that really care what happens to you and I promise that those people would never stab your back. I have been through those experiences and yes it’s hard but there is always a bright way and that way will help you. Honesty is also hard but not possible to do honesty will always help only if you learn how to be honest and learn not how to lye and also honesty is always good. Gratitude is my favorite you should be in gratitude every single day of your life because of the things you have in life like you have the opportunity to see the light of a new day while many people don’t so each time you wakeup be in gratitude. Self-discipline having control of yourself and taking control of your actions also self- discipline take you really far also your goals and dreams come true.

The end!

“A Day in the Life of a Teacher”

A middle school teacher might wake up at 6:00 am or 5:00 am.

It might be tough to wake up that early. Even as a student when I wake up I struggle I even my mom has to yell at me when I don't want to wake up. And if I were the teacher I would be used to wakeup early. “I really need a hot coffee” because as a teacher waking up I would want something for breakfast ”there is much traffic today!” “Yes I am finally in my classroom”“ Good Morning Students welcome back from vacations.” “Today we are going to learn about MAD which stands for mean absolute deviation” I know it would be stressing for me because I would have to deal with students that wouldn't understand it and I dint have that much patient. And as a teacher I would explain it like this “ a shorter cut for finding the mad is this first you list the numbers like this: 8,10,9,8,5. Then you would put the mean under each number: 8,8,8,8,8 then you would subtract them and then your result is 6 which would you divide by 5 and your answer would be 1.2.” “Students I know that some of you guys get it right away but even if you get it you need to help your classmates.” “ I am really tired mom, you can’t even imagine how much work a teacher needs to do.” “Honey work is always going to be like that so tell me how was your day.” My mom said. “I know, its just that today two of my students were doing a test and they were coping from each other but guess what their response was?”

“ sorry Ms. Olmos we didn't mean to its just that the test seemed hard and we decided to copy of from each other” “ I got really angry and I told them that they would have detention for a week because they know that copying of from each other they would only have consequences.” “ Well mom I need to go upstairs in my room to finish some presentations for tomorrow and also I need to decided if Juliana and David are going to be in algebra class.” “ Well honey hurry up because dinner is almost ready.” Okay mom”. When I went upstairs I realized that Nicole invited me to this place called “Yogurt Land.” And when I realized I exactly got a call from Nicole “ hey are you going or nah?” “ Yes let me just take a bath okay” we had a great time their but I needed to go to bed and rest for tomorrow. “ (Yawn) what time is it oh its 3:00 am I need to wake up at four to be in time.” “ What time is it now 5:00 am I need to wakeup!” When I was ready and in my car driving I remembered about my presentation. “When I get to my classroom I am going to check my work.” When I got to my classroom I opened my computer guess what “ I forgot my presentation at home!” but I w as glad that I hadn’t forgotten the two tests for Juliana and David. “ Good morning class today we are going to have a test and I hope you guys don't decide to copy each other!” “Juliana and David please come up here to my desk” “ Are we in trouble?” they both asked “ Of course not since you guys are really advanced in math you both are going to be evaluated to know if you guys need to be in algebra. My obstacles are being sick not finishing my work or etc. but I would love doing my job.

The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim

Because it was grassy and wanted wear,

Though as for that the passing there <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">Had worn them really about the same <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">And both that morning equally lay

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">In leaves no step had trodden black.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">Oh, I kept the first for another day!

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">Yet knowing how way leads on to way

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">I doubted if I should ever come back.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">I shall be telling this with a sigh

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">Somewhere ages and ages hence:

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">I took the one less traveled by,

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; display: block; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">And that has made all the difference.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">Sodapop: Pd.3 January, 23, 2014

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">Sodapop is upbeat, supportive, outgoing, protective, and sensitive. He is upbeat in like nobody in pg. 2 Ponyboy describes Sodapop as always being happy-go-lucky also he tries to understand every bodies situation not like Darry. He also is a hard worker because he helps his brother Darry at work in gasoline station. He is also a 16 years old and he is very handsome kind of like a movie star. Ponyboy love Soda more than anybody because he treats him nicely. In Pg. 8 it says “Sodapop can get drunk in a drag race or dancing without ever getting near alcohol”, by that description it tells that he is upbeat in living life.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">The Gang:

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">Also Sodapop is protective in pg. 8 when they beat up his smallest brother Ponyboy he told him that he would be okay because no one was going to hurt him anymore, that’s in example of being protective. His brothers and him are greasers the have gang in which their friends such as Dally- who got arrested when he was ten, Johnny- which his dad would always beat him up and ignored by his mother, Darry- which he is always in a bad mood, Ponyboy- who is happy and upbeat and finally Two-Bit- Sodapop’s best friend. They are a gang kind of like a family they protect each other because they all feel like a big family. But sometimes they van have some really different differences like in pg. 24 Johnny stood up to Dally By saying “Leave her alone” because he bothered a girl, Ponyboy couldn’t believe it because no had ever spoke like that to Dally, Dally go a little mad but Ponyboy thought that Dally wouldn’t hurt Johnny because he was the gangs pet. And besides anything they are always protective.

The day my puppy got home: The day my puppy got home was in November we bought him in Tijuana he was a little expensive but it was worth it because now he is my best friend he has been with me for 5 months. When we got him he was really little he was 2 months old but now he is about to turn 5 months he is still a baby well at least for me. He loves going to the park and playing with kids he jumps kind of like a bunny its kind of funny and cute his name is “Bimbo” my dad decided that the name was perfect because his fur is so white like the snow. I love going to run or walk with him on the weekends. He has lots of toys his favorite toy is a tiny blue bone. Besides playing with my dog he has been beneficial in my life because of him I have learned to be responsible and I am really grateful for my puppy because besides of being my puppy he has become my best friend he loves when I carry him and sing to him we do lots of fun stuff together but sometimes he van get a little grumpy but that doesn’t matter and I am really thankful that my puppy is a healthy and the best puppy n the world.

If you are bullying, it’s not cool! **= =** Yesterday a visitor came to my school to tell us to stop the bullying. Her name was Nikki. She talked about this phrase that is really true. This phrase was “Hurt<range type="comment" id="461097554_3"> people, hurt people,” and that’s true many people that bullies others is because they might be hurt and they bully to feel better.</range id="461097554_3"> **= = = =** Many kids bully because they have problems at home, at school, or even personal problems. Also because of bullying many people think of suicide. In September 2012, a Canadian boy posted a humiliating video of Amanda Todd on YouTube; also since she was in seventh she was threatened, and stalked on online by a stranger. That bully affected her life she decayed in drugs and in depression. She tried to move so that person would stop and also so she could outrun her unhappiness from her past. But, that didn’t work the predator kept on bullying her and following her online, because of that she began to cut herself and her anxiety made her unavailable to leave her home. Also because of that she attempted suicide twice. She lost friends, and also her relationships fell apart. Online a friend of hers told her she “Deserved it”. Amanda, 15 years old, killed her self in October 2012. As you can see bullying is a really huge problem and also because of that problem many people decide to take their lives so they cant suffer any more BUT we can change that problem we can help save lives by stopping bullies and making a peaceful and loving environment. SAY NO TO BULLY! **=
