text: Being a teenager myself I know how it feels to love to text I've been there before but I also know that cell phones can get you in trouble and are distracting. Also what if you get a really sad text then what happens to the rest of your day that is probably the thing that frustrates me the most, when i get a sad or annoying text it can ruin your whole day, and what about when your in class waiting for a text and you miss important material. I do text while doing homework so maybe me personally wouldn't be as distracted as someone who loses concentration easily. I personally feel kids in middle school should NOT be allowed to carry cell phones but kids in high school why not? Its not that bad. Especially if your mature enough to turn it off during class. So my final statement about the issue is try it . If too many kids are starting to decrease in grades and too many are not behaving with them then end it. With freedom comes responsibility. If your not responsible you shouldn't have the freedom right? So that is my final statement. Give it a try. Maybe it will benefit the school.Senator I would not like to keep the Electoral College, it's not a good method, I know we are voting fir the President either way, but why can't we vote for the President right away? Instead of voting for a slate of electors  to vote for us? We are not babies that can't vote for our President right away, we have common sense and are grown up enough to know who we are going for. The method is unfair and outdated, we nned to abolish the electoral college. This method is a non-democratic one, and should be overruled. It is unfair to voters because of the winner take all system in each state, canidates don't spend time in states they know they have no chance at winning, focusing only on the tight races in the swing states. The electoral college is uneeded and irrational, we don't care about it an would like for you to agree with us and abolish it, if yiu do not, we undersdtand, on behalf of all the disagreeing persons to this method, join us and you will see our way of thinking, and see our way is much easier without a doubt sir and/or ma'am, have a great time, bye.    Every summer students are required to complete a project to ensure learning is being accomplished. Some say that these projects should be teacher-designed others say they should be student-designed. A high school student once stated that " a project over the summer sounds boring ". Others must think how can one make a project during summer fun if its teacher-designed? Summer projects should be student-designed because it makes each student want to be creative, enthusiastic, and have better learning opportunities.
