Attention Disoder or Not, Pills to help in school

       Attention disorder or not, pills to help you in school. By Alan Schwarz is really explaining that, the parents and doctors that's support A.D.H.D is given pills to children that need's them or not. They give them these pills to kids in elementary and high school. Doctors and parents think it helps their child education level increase and it would be easier and more better for them to do work in class , or home and participate in class decisions.
        The author included a lot of  quotes from doctors and parents also students. Dr. Anderson have given these pills to her kids and she said '' My kids don't want to take it, but I told them, 'These are your grades when your taking it, this is when you don't', and they understood'', It's not really that surprising that a parent want better grade from their child but i think that's all she care for and not worrying for there safety.
       
                I think there is seriously something wrong with these doctors and parents. I believe that you should check the drug first and make sure it is safe your your kid to take. The side effects of the pills young kids are taken is, growth suppression, increase blood pressure and, in rare case, psychotic episodes. I took this quote from the text and it state the harmful side effects of these pills, doctor and parent are taken.
            This story kind of reminds me of a movie I watched. I forget what it is called.The movie is about four gentlemen have a bad disease called scalelyois and the government was treating these boys with a drug that the men didn't know about.They just wanted to get cured, but the government knew exactly what they was doing and didn't tell nobody but the doctors the side effect of the drug. Soon the boys died of scalelyois.I think these two story are similar in some ways. I want everyone to know the side effects of the drug their taken or might be always ask your doctor.

No Memorial 2012

    No Memorial Day 2012 by Sylvia Mohr in Memorial Day has been ignored by too many of us who are beneficiaries of those who have given the ultimate sacrifice. Often we do not observe the day as it should be, a day where we actively remember our ancestors, our family members, our loved ones, our neighbors, and our friends who have given the ultimate sacrifice.
    You can appreciate memorial day by visiting cemeteries and placing flags or flowers on the graves of our fallen heroes, visiting memorials, by flying the U.S. Flag at half-staff until noon, by renewing a pledge to aid the widows, widowers, and orphans of our falled dead, and to aid the disabled veterans. Also I shows that you have respect for you hero and soldiers today.
    I think the topic is important for everyone to read and show respect and honor for your ancestors. People don't really know how good they got it because we had people that fought for our rights and our freedom. without Martin Luther King we probably still be getting miss-treated, if it wasn't for Abraham Lincoln , Us black people would still be slave. I really am thankful for all my hero's gave up for me. And if I was to met one it would make my day.
    I can relate this article to myself because I'm really into history I remember me telling my sister a story about Rosa Parks and I told her how she refuse to move from the front of the bus because she was tired plus sick of being miss-treated , and Rosa Parks got arrested and sent to jail that when Martin Luther King Jr started the boycott. The article really made me think deeply about my ancestors and my choices.

             1.Do you support moving the observance of Memorial Day to May 30th? Explain your answer
             2. This year will you take part in any of the activities do to Memorial? Explain your answer

Texting Away

In the story ''Texting May Be Taking a Toll'', by Katie Hefner. The passage Tell's readers that texting is not all that good for you. The author want's everyone to read this and get a clue that text can be bad.  In the story the author lets us know that texting can damage your thumbs.  The author says'' texting might be causing a toll in teenagers thumbs''Anni Wagner, said she notice a painful cramping in her thumbs. The author also wants you to know that teenagers text the most out of everybody , when it's time to go to bed their our teens up at after midnight texting making their bill high out the roof top. Teenagers put they phone on vibrate and wait til the bright screen lights up white and the retort back to the text. This is making them text 3,500 an week and 14,528 an month. Parent our getting out rage when they see their child bill. But parent do it their self and kids follow. In the story the author states that when a child come out of ballet lessons their upset to see their dad/mom on their blackberry texting away and not paying any attention to them. I kinda agree but on the other hand I don't , I think everything the author states is true, because student to tend to spend more time texting/talking on the phone then studying / doing homework. I can draw this story towards me because I'm like that and I text a whole lot.

Studies Find More Students Cheating, With Higher Achievers No Exception. By Richard Perez. Large-scale of cheating was discovered at the nation's most competitive school. Cheating has become easier and more widely tolerated, do to the fact that teachers, school or parents haven't been tell their kids strong repetitive messages about what is allowed . And do to the internet and copy and paste kids our better to get answers from website or other pairs. Students cheat to survive. Students now our under a lot of pressure do to parents telling to be they best and get straight A's. Also when teachers say you got to go to collage to get a high paying job and to order to do that you have to pass high-school student that think they going to fail they cheat off the more advance students. One thing that stood out to me is when the article state's that some parent our actually doing their child's homework for them. This shocked me the most because parent often say you go to school to learn not to play or have somebody else do your work meaning (CHEATING) , but the whole time they doing the work and the child is not learning anything. Me as a student I saw cheaters cheat but never came to my mine that it would of been a big issues I think this article is basically telling people that not just people with low test scores cheat ,parents, teacher, and students cheat.  I remember when I came across the cheater but I wasn't worried bout it cause at the end of the day he got an 54% and i got a 89% witch is basically a low A. Cheater never prosper.
