Ian Brown Mr. Moran English I - Honors 12 March 2012 Year-Round Schooling Pro Rebuttal The issue of having year-round school in America or not has been going around for decades. This system is practiced throughout the world with the huge exception of many of our schools. Some claim that it doesn’t make a difference to a child’s scores, but spending more time in the classroom, with shorter but often breaks, can keep their mind refreshed. Even U.S. President Barack Obama stated that the hardships and new challenges in this emerging century “demand more time in the classroom.” Some opponents of this system say that our summer vacation is the perfect time to have a full time-off and that you won’t lose much of what you learned the previous school year. In fact, according to a study at the University of Missouri, they found that many students forgot over two and one-half months of whatever their grade-level equivalency is in mathematics.
Our political leaders and Delbanco can both concur that a liberal education is important, but can both see eye to eye that it is what the future economy will be built off of. In our nation it has become more and more difficult for our citizens to attain this college degree, because it is becoming less and less affordable. Alongside both parties, most American’s can agree that a liberal education is important, but neither the Republican Party nor the Democratic Party have made any significant change to better the liberal education system. According to the Obama Administration, President Obama has “proposed incentives for states to maintain their commitments to higher education through a new $1 billion investment” (“Keeping Costs Down”), and Obama has failed to accomplish his proposal. Obama needs to manage the budget a bit more wisely, because the more funding put towards the liberal education system, the more our economy will flourish.
Some students are able to accumulate enough dual credit hours to eliminate an entire year of college studies. Lydic goes on to describe that “ the Texas legislature even passed a law that every school district must “implement a program under which students may earn the equivalent of at least 12 semester [college] credit hours in high school.”” (HB 1, 2006-07 paragraph 5) Starting college is hard enough, but being able to be given the opportunity to start college and be ahead in classes seems like an easier way to go. Depending on the school, it is possible to start college with 12 hours, that way you are lessening your college years by just taking dual credit classes in high
Mollie Russell Jan. 26 2015 ENG101 How do you feel about Obama proposing that students should have the opportunity to attend community college for free for two years? I feel that this is a very controversial topic and it can go either way. In my opinion, having free community college for students is a good opportunity, but there need to be certain requirements for these students. People can take advantage of this, and by having requirements it stops people from doing that. I have four requirements that need to be met including, 3.0 GPA or higher, 18 or higher on the ACT, 95% attendance, and a high school diploma.
The passage of the “Pick the Public’s Pocket No More” bill would lower college application rates, lower college graduation rates, and lower our country’s number of new college graduates for open positions in the work force. Without grants, many Americans would not be able to pursue college degrees because of the debt they would acquire financing their degree with loans alone. Federal grants allow young adults, who are the future of our country, to pursue a college degree without the full burden of college debts after graduation. (M) When considering whether or not to pursue a degree, many are persuaded to apply because they often receive grants to assist

Economist believes that this system will do nothing to control cost but the budget office believes the bill will reduce the cost over a ten-year period. The cost concerns affected Americans because it helped Republicans win control over the House of Representatives in the mid-term elections and they also threatened to remove government funding. This reform also affected Doctors in the United States. Lifesitenews.com states that Doctors believe this Health Care reform will not be fair to them because the nurse practitioners and physicians assistant will be caring for the Patients hands on rather than the doctors even though they have more medical experience. His next plan of action was by using budget deficits which stop

One of the most influential promises President Barrack Obama made was getting the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell done away with once and for all by starting the bill of getting the policy appealed. President Obama to some has not done much to help the Unites States issues such as the number of people whom have lost their homes because of unemployment and the 3.6 billion dollar deficient that the country seems to have all the sudden fallen into. President Obama according to author Andre Michael Eggelletion of the Real deal talk website has mange to do so much for the US to name a few things he has signed an executive order on government contracting to fight waste and abuse, Signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, restoring basic protections against pay discrimination for women and other workers, Launched a U.S. financial and banking rescue plan, Provided affordable, high-quality child care to working families, Cracked down on companies that deny sick pay, vacation and health insurance to workers by abusing the employee classification of independent contractor.

He mentioned how Feinstein’s previous ban did not prevent, control or stop the Columbine School massacre. Sen. Grassley said “there is "no evidence" that the Feinstein ban would reduce multiple-victim shootings or wounds per victim.” He couldn’t have been more on point. The obvious and biggest problem of the ban assault weapon 2013 is that is violates our right to the 2nd Amendment, the right the bear arms. If this ban would be passed, it will show that in the future, it will be that much easier
