School Uniforms




Dear Superintendent Dr. Richard O’Malley,
    “ The unity of freedom has never relied on the uniformity of opinion.” (John F. Kennedy). The explanation of this statement is said to be what the Board of Education is opposing on. The upcoming school year will be starting off with a tremendous new look. Their opinion regarding mandatory school uniforms should not be approved due to the extra cost, less chance of  improving student/school safety and academic progress and no personal freedom.

    Uniforms aren’t a good way to improve  students discipline , motivation and school safety.  No matter what anyone tries, a student with  a bad nature will stay the same. Uniforms will not improve their discipline.
Nobody can recognize a student form the outside. The real him or her is recognized by the inside. The opposition to this fact would agree. They would think that  “punishing” a kid by making him or her wear what they don’t want to would teach him or her the lesson. Well, maybe that would work, but it would be the  punishment that goes in one ear and out the other. They probably would forget the real reason why they are wearing uniforms. Nothing would be done.

    Kid sooner or later grow. Many students will defiantly grow out of their  uniforms. Parents would have to buy their kids new uniforms every time the old one doesn’t fit.  Uniforms cost close 75 to 100 dollars. Every time you grow out of the uniforms, the parents would just be wasting money. Think about the poor families. They barely cant provide equipments for themselves, how will they be able to provide uniforms of their kid(s).  Some families will be crossing their poverty line. Well , maybe you could buy larger sizes of uniforms form the beginning but it wouldn’t look nice. It would be too baggy and not look proper.  This is clearly evident that uniforms would cause big problems.

     Clothing is a big part of teen search. They get to express their own identity in their own ways. Uniforms will take away that  advantage.  All the kids will look the same and teachers will have hard times  trying to find out which student is which. Well,  clothing cant be the only way to express themselves. There are also other accessories. Well wearing a uniform requires not accessories unless if it is the same for everyone.  Uniforms will take away students  self-expression.

    It is in my interest that uniforms should not be required. If the proposal is passed some student and parents wont be very happy. All the students would look and act the same. Not only that they cost too much money. Uniforms will not solve any problems to improve the students. Making a attempt to read and change your mind , will not only help me but it will help you understand our opinion. Thinking of everyone would be the way to solve the uniform problem.

Advertising  Rainbow Dew was really fun. Although, I could have added something more to make it even more exciting and welcoming. I liked my piece because it was original, it was creative and convincing  . After video taping our commercial i felt that I was good at having a good tone of voice to keep the audience engaged and discussing  what the product was. I thought I could have improved on viedo editing the last part and taping the sean at differnt places so it would seem boring. A persuasive essay writting techniques and strategies I'd like to try next time is  use more  statistics so the adiance would me more persuaded.I  enjoyed videotaping the commercial the best because i was fun and we had a aswome time. My goals for next time i write are use persading words so the watcher/reader would me more intersted in the writting/ commercial. I learned that i was good at using experssions,i could turn a negitive thing into positive thing and i am good at motivating others. My writting mentors are mostly Rick Riordan, Cynthia Lord and Lois Lowry. Readers will see Creativity in Cynithia Lords writing Adventure in Rick Riprdan and Excitment in Lois Lowrys writting. I really enjoyes this activity. It is better then writhing essays. We got to persuade people in differnt and fun ways.

I am advertising RAINBOW DEW. Your porbaly wondering what the is well it is the new Mountain dew except it hads 4 different flavors of mountain dew in one can so the next time you get tired of drinking the same soda in one can buy Rainbow Dew. You probably have received many offers like this but this is one of a kind. Well i would like to Rainbow Dew to be on T.V after the 3:00 news because that's when most kids and adults are home so when they are watching T.v the amazing Rainbow Dew will show up and they would like to buy it. I would like the channel to air my commercial so people will think that this channel has great adds and and watch it more often. After its on the news it should go on the Internet because most people who have some free time at work could go and watch the news and our advertisement will show up so they would want to bye it. Advertising Rainbow dew will not only help us but you ll have one more commercial and people will start to watch your channel more often because of the great commercials. =)

Coca Cola Commercial

My favorite commercial is the Coca Cola Commercial. In "Siege," we're reminded of Coke's power to bring happiness and optimism to even the darkest of situations. The animals are fighting and arguing to save and the coca cola "saves the day" by bring happiness. The advencher in the beginning catches the watchers mind and makes them watch it over and over. My now i probably memorized the whole thing. In many commercial  they make the thing or object look or tast good and some times it happens to taste horrible or not work at all but in the Coca cola commercial it seems goo and it tastes really good as well. I enjoyed watching this I  never seen anything so unique. coca Cola does taste pretty good. It was actually a very persuading commercial. No wonder may people like Coca Cola!!!
