Maths, Probability

This week for maths we had to do a blog post on probabilty. Here is mine

Argument writing

This week we also had to write another argument about should kids have phones at school. I think they shouldn't. Here is my writing.

Should cell phones be allowed at school?

I strongly believe that cell phones should not be allowed at school because
they cause a huge distraction for the posesser and their peers around them.
Cell phones also prevent socialization between children and their friends.
They also cause some serious health problems. 

Children should definitely not be allowed phones at school because they
cause a major distraction for kids and people around them. Imagine this
scenario… your teacher tells someone to get off their phone and they ignore
her, she tells them again and again but they still don’t listen. They then put
earphones in and put on some loud music on. You and the rest of the class
have just wasted 5 precious minutes of the day just waiting for that one person.
Imagine if that happens 12 times, that is a whole hour of your day wasted! Cell
phones not only distract you from your learning but your teacher and
classmates too.  

Cell phones are also a brick wall in front of socialization. They cause kids to
stop making friends and resort to their cell phones. Cell phones also create a
pathway for bullies to weasel their way into your life and bully you. Your poor
defenseless child doesn’t know what's hit them. They are now being bullied not
only at school but on the internet too. 

Who manages children's use of phones at school? Whos to say children are
not sneaking around taking photos and videos of you or others without them
knowing, they might then post it on social media without you knowing. Who
wants an embarrassing photo where everybody can see it? Certainly not me!  

We are letting all this happen? Well it’s time to stop it! Not only is this a privacy
risk it’s also a bullying risk. 

Schools meant to be a fun place full of laughter and enjoyment.
Cell phones are wrecking our generation. I have seen the transformation of
skinny fit kids getting addicted to their device and then turning into a fat
Obnoxious unfit kids who’s always on their phone.

Writing

This week we had to create a skeleton of an argument. Here is what it should look like.

Argument writing.

This week for writing we had to write an argument on cell phones. Here is mine.

Cell Phone Argument

I strongly believe that Kids should not be allowed a phone until they are
13 or over, because cellphones cause a lack of imagination, low attention
span and they are too caught up in their device that they don’t have time to
go outside and get some fresh air.

Children under 13 shouldn’t have cellphones because social media is a terrible
influence on a teenage mind. Researchers have found that instagram, twitter
and facebook are just another way to target weaker or less popular people
and bully them. It’s called cyberbullying. 
How would you like your child being cyberbullied? Social media is a dangerous
world!

Cell Phones also generate a short attention span. If kids are always on their
device they are unlikely to be able to pay attention for a long period of time.
When they are bored they can just flick between pages or watch something
else on their device. There are endless things to do on a phone or a computer,
so kids rarely put it down!

Research says a healthy child should get at least 1 hour of physical activity
per day if not more. Is your child doing that? Cell phones prevent physical
activity and fun fitness. Cell phones are taking over your mind and your body.
Social sport is a great way to make friends and cell phones block that pathway.
Cell phones create moody, depressed and angry children who won’t talk or
socialize! 

Are you letting your child's brain rot? Is your child depressed and moody, could
cell phones be the cause of this?

What do you think? Think about what cell phones are doing to our generation
and generations after. I strongly think that children should not have cell phones
because they cause a distraction, lack of imagination and low self esteem.
