"I think Christmas music should be listened to before Christmas but after thanksgiving in order to get into the spirit without overshadowing other holidays. I personally don't listen to Christmas music but occasionally indulge in a carol or two."

"I think the death penalty should be abolished because sometimes a quick death isn't what people deserve and there are also cases where people are framed and wrongfully killed. If someone committed a horrible thing like murder, they deserve to rot…"

"I think it would be nice to have practice before school because I have a lot of activities after school and it would be nice to have time for homework because I don't have a study hall. I would also find it to be a great way to wake myself up in the…"

"I think that group projects are good to be the majority of class time because it's a great way to have everyone moving at a similar pace. Talking with people about it is a great way to study as well. Individual work is important too to ensure every…"

"I agree that the public school system's large student body can provide a better way for students to flex their metaphorical social wings. Private schools are better for expanding knowledge and help students have a deeper understanding of the world…"

"I agree that private schools have more resources to help students understand the material according to their individual needs. But in the real world people aren't going to set time aside for those that don't understand what's going on."

"I agree that it's easy to want to stay with the school you have because it's hard to move away from your normal routine and friends to a new environment with new rules and expectations. But your kids would also have to go through that if they go to…"

"I think that teachers having guns in school is going to cause more problems than solutions. Enough shootings are carried out by groups of people that a bunch of students could easily overpower teachers in multiple classes and get to their guns…"

"I think that most subjects can allow class discussion and should encourage people to speak out. However, some curriculums are just better with the teacher talking and the students listening/working, like a math class or other simular subjects."

"I think that homework is not something that needs to be given out daily. To me, the only reasonable form of homework would be A. optional extra practice to do at home. Or B. school work that could have gotten done in the class time that was provided."

"I'm not planning on setting a New Year resolution this year because I am usually good at identifying/correcting bad habits and problems in my life before they become too much of an issue. I also like to do research before if it's something that will…"

"I think that standardized testing is something that provides important information on the student's abilities and where the student body is overall struggling. I think the stress of it is something that students will encounter in the real world…"

"I agree that private school is a great starter for kids because of the better opportunities for one-on-one learning and a deeper understanding of the basics. I disagree that private schools in general have more restrictions, just more accountability."

"I think that private schools don't always require formal/nice clothes, in my experience there is no dress code that is different than public schools. The rules are also not usually more strict, just better enforced because of the smaller…"

"I agree that private schools are more sheltering than public schools, intentionally or not. The lack of a large and diverse student body can make students ignorant of how the outside world works and how other's lives are different."

"I agree that for more introverted kids, private school is definitely a way for them to feel less overwhelmed when putting themselves out there. That combined with the one-on-one time with teachers can make it a good choice for some."

"I think that e-cigarettes are arguably worse than regular cigarettes because it is marketed to a younger age demographic full of impressionable kids who are more likely to get peer pressured and less likely to be able to quit. Therefore giving those…"

"I think the internet can be very harmful for young kids, there is a lot of content out there that simply isn't designed for children. Children's social skills are taken from observing and interacting with other people, if all they watch are kids and…"

"I think we should continue to use daylight savings time because it's easier to guestimate what time it is based on the amount of sunlight outside. Because time was based off of sunlight anyway, I don't see why we wouldn't continue to adjust based on…"

"I think ASL is a fascinating language to learn and that schools should provide it. I think that in some ways it is more important than some other foreign languages because the odds are greater that you meet someone who uses ASL rather than french…"

"I think turkey is better than ham, and my family chooses to serve turkey every year. I think that ham became more popular because it was cheaper than turkey because the price of turkey would skyrocket during the thanksgiving season."

"I think that lead does not have enough impact on the human body to be the only cause of an increase in crime rates, I do think that he should be charged at the very least for false advertising. If not to punish him then at least to set an example…"

"I agree that fines should be based on income so the upper class gets equal consequences, I also think that it would help with extreme debt for the lower classes. Less money is always going to cause more crime, and making the fines based on income it…"

"I think that the government should pay for community college because having a more educated workforce encourages better quality of work which means the country as a whole gets boosted. The population would be able to pay the higher taxes because…"

"I think that we should promote healthy eating habits above everything else. No matter where the students are going in life, everyone is going to have to eat. It's important for kids and teens to develop healthy habits early so they don't need to…"

"I agree that free healthcare would be better for the general public. Personally, I know plenty of people who have avoided going to the doctor for the fear that they would spend money just to be told that it would pass with time. This oftentimes…"

"I think that it's very important for teens to get a job when possible because building up their money early will always benefit them in the long run. Whether they plan on going to college or not, getting out of highschool with no money to your name…"

"I think that the internet can be a harmful place. But the solution to these problems is not to get rid of the internet altogether, but for the individual to have a good support system in their lives. For everyone willing to tear someone down there…"

"I think contact lenses are a great invention and they absolutely help me keep up my day-to-day life. Just having to worry about them at the beginning and end of my day helps me a lot. For example, glasses can fall off people's faces easily which…"

"I don't think that college should be required before going pro. I think that if a pro team wants an athlete fresh out of high school, the athlete deserves to be able to jump on that opportunity if they wish to. If the athlete still wishes to go to…"

"I prefer the books over the movies because books can fit in way more scenes and provide more context on what each character Is feeling and why. It's also a lot easier to get immersed in books than in movies for me. Movies can be too brief to really…"

"I think that timed tests aren't good for testing on things like what you learned that year because it doesn't give you the time to try to go through your knowledge to find what you're looking for. However, I think that when testing things like…"

"I agree that taking extracurriculars can do more good than harm, I am in a bunch of them and I can say it has really helped my social life because I get to hang out with people I don't usually see. It has interrupted my time to work on homework but…"

"I think shoes have the potential to cause injury, but I think it is less the brand and more the price. You mentioned how parents like to buy cheaper shoes, and cheaper shoes have worse quality, which means they get worn down faster and cause injury…"

"I think we should have an income-based fine system because mini crimes like speeding tickets can suck for the poor, but barely be noticed by the rich. This can make the rich less cautious about their speed when driving because the consequence isn't…"
