What I am going to write my persuasive essay on "Should Kids Have a Timed Gameplay Ammount." This topic is important to me because I personally think it is a dumb idea because why would you time your kid on the time he plays video games when he/she already goes through 6 hours of school so after his homework is done why would you make him/her not take a break.

The topic I have choose is, "Should there be homework on weekends?". The reason why I chose this was because that if we had homework on weekends we might have less homework on the week days. Also if we did have homework on the weekends we will be spending time doing homework instead of spending time with your family and friends.

The topic of my persuasive essay is, “Schools Paying Students for Good Grades.” I think the topic is important because many teachers can be laid off, or the school can go out of bussness.

For my persuasive essay topic, I would choose “Should Kids be Able to Celebrate Halloween During School?”. This is important because they shouldn’t, because the kids are spending a whole day celebrating Halloween. Also, they should, because it is fun compared to what kids always do.

One topic I would choose to for my persuasive essay would be. Should kids be required to wear uniforms at school? This is important to me because I would never want to wear uniforms that have collared t-shirts and plad skirts. Not only would I want to wear that, but I feel that kids should be able to express themselves by wearing different clothes.

DANCING A SPORT???
I believe that dancing is a sport, because many dance teams go to competition. Dancers also exercise a lot more than you think, for example one of my friends has around 19 hours of classes each week. Even though some may think dancing is just for fun, there are many people who dedicate their whole life to dancing, many of them grow up to be professional dancers or dance teachers. You may think that when people dance they just do what they think of first, but as a dance teacher you must make up a routine that makes sense and there can’t be too many jumps, turns, or leaps right next to each other. Also, dancing takes a lot of hard work and dedication as well as any other sport, and that’s why I think dancing is a sport.

My topic is should boys and girls wear uniforms to school. I don’t agree because boys and girls should be able to choose what they want to wear to school. I chose that topic because I don’t want to wear anything that I don’t want to wear.

#12 said...

My idea for my persuasive essay is, should boys and girls be in separate schools. I agree with the idea. I think that girls and boys might work better if they aren’t distracted by others. Girls and boys seem to always get distracted by each other and always start to chat.

noise during A.M.

DANCING A SPORT????
Many people do not realize how hard dancers work. I also want people to know that dance, like many other sports has competition. This is important to me because, I dance and I want everyone to know that I believe that everyone should think Dancing is a sport because many people work hard and dedicate their life to it, as well as many other famous sports.
