The 17 year will now have to finish the rest of his work at an alternative school. Jacob make a comment to channel 2 saying it just really hurts.

However, they tend to interfere with school, are highly routinized, have no room for personal growth, creativity, initiative, and no entrepreneurship opportunities. Which is something people definitely need to learn at a young age. He also states that they tend to accustom teens to pursue stuff that pays off instantly as opposed to teaching them to making long-term goals and working to achieve such goals. “McDonald’s is bad for your kids.” This short, but impacting sentence opens up Etzioni’s essay, and describes as a whole what he is trying to say throughout the whole piece. He isn’t speaking about the food affecting children’s health, however.
The more people retreat from community to suburbia and into their isolated lives, the less safe children become. In history it was said that “It takes a village to raise a child.” The community would watch out for both the children and the adults, but this has change now that there are picket fence and locked doors. The suburbs allow parents to raise a child without being scrutinised, as C. Beth Spencer, 1997, asked “Who’s watching the watcher?” An example no one in the community looking out for the children is the case of the ‘Beaumont Children’. On Australia day 1966 the Beaumont children caught a bus to go to the beach. The bus stop was less than 100 meters from their home where their mother last sees them.
Freedom Moving into a new county for freedom is tough. Even though when you get to the country you are essentially free, unless you are accepted by the community you move to, you can’t be truly free. In his short story, “The Strangers that Came to Town”, Ambrose Flack is showing that true freedom is about being accepted. This is shown by the kids in the town and at school mocking the Duvitch kids, as well as people who they traded with were rude, and their entire family was marked “untouchable”. Firstly, the school kids mocked and harassed the Duvich kids.

Holden avoids interaction with people that could help him, and instead he talks to strangers all because he does not want to face reality. After he got kicked out of school he wandered to the city of Manhattan instead of going home to face parental consequences. Holden didn’t call his home phone to contact his sister because “she wouldn’t’ve been the one that answered the phone. My parents would be the ones. So that was out.” (Pg.59) He avoided all contact with his parents.
People could no longer smoke in establishments that served food and customers did not want to come in for drinks, only to step outside whenever they wanted to smoke. Bar owners lost money because of smoking bans; some were even forced out of business. This is especially unfair to business owners who did not receive options before the bans became law.

Furthermore, 18 states had banned all cell phone use by school drivers, while 21 had prohibited all use by novice drivers. Lack of Privacy Because cell phones provide no audio feedback through the earpiece, some people talk much louder with cell phones than they do through land lines.

Dear Steve Hanson: I acknowledge that you have asked the school board to permit cell phone use by students during lunch,studyhall,and before school. As a student _______, I disagree with the use of cell phones during the school day at all.I reject this proposal for many reasons.This is due to the fact of the non-beneficial use,the effect they have on social skills,and the increase in cyber bullying they could cause. Cell phones could be used during school in non - beneficial ways.For example, excessive texting during school would not benefit the students academically.Students playing games, could take their focus off of school work, and what they recently learned.Social media could be used and engage students in things happening outside of school.Texting,games,and social media do not benefit students during school. Cell phones could cause a social problem. They are anti-social electronics.Students will sit around on their phones and not cominicate with the people around them.If students are always on their phones, they would not be as good at communicating with others.Social skills are an important aspect of life.Being social at school is important for friendships and life skills in general.
