Website or blogging?


I prefer blogging because it is much easier to use!Websites are not extremely difficult but my thought is that blogging is a much easier thing to use.You can change the font color without as big of a challenge.On a website you would have to go to the settings of the website page and on here the changing stuff is right above the text box.Also on blogging you can just free-write about any topic of your choice and on a website you have to put information on it.On a blog you could just write how your day is going or even what you are doing.Blogging is something where you can just get out your thoughts and feelings as to where a website is where you feel like you have to write down information about a certain topic that makes since. To me, in blogging it is easier to insert a picture,or video.On blogs if you have something to say, and want to get it out blogging is a place to say it and be heard.That is my thoughts about blogging and websites.

Cursive Writing


I am optimistic when it comes to cursive writing.I am optimistic because I believe cursive is needed for things like writing a letter to a business, if you make your signature in cursive you will look more educated.Also so that you can learn what things say in cursive.For example, if someone were to write you a letter and all they write in is cursive then you would know how to read it and know what it says.Or it may be easier to some people to write in cursive because it might be faster to just connect them.I also think that cursive should not be required because regular handwriting is a much easier format to read and write.Cursive writing is slowly going away because of easier technologies we have now days.Examples of this is computer sites such as emailing,social networks, and more.Another reason I think cursive is unneeded is because young students that are already having trouble writing in regular handwriting let alone learn another way to write it and it can cause stress to the child.These are just my views on cursive.

bullying


Bullying is a serious issue and is definitely not blown out of proportion. Bullying is a topic that needs attention because it can in some cases cause pretty serious damage mentally and/or physically. It can cause damage because some bullying can lead to injury or even death.An example of bullying that really makes me think that bullying needs attention is a couple of years ago, on a social networking site a teenage girl was talking to who she believed was a boy she knew but was really another girls mom.The mom was saying unkind things to the teenage girl and she thought it was the boy saying the rude remarks, so later on that day the girl was found dead.She committed suicide because of the things the woman was saying to her.Bullying is a topic that should be talked about also because kids that don't fit in as well as others have feelings too and shouldn't be treated differently.I strongly believe in the saying, if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all.If you don't like to be bullied then don't bully others.Another reason bullying is an important topic is that although some people are different, they still have a family that loves them or even friends that love them.

My View on Grades


I think grades are good for a few reasons. The first reason I think grades are good is because they should make people want to be more creative, interested, and want to learn more. Grades keep a lot of kids motivated and make them want to work as hard as they can to achieve a higher level than before.I think trying to make good grades should make them want to be more creative because creativity is a big part in projects for example.Also, good grades may make them want to pay more attention in class and make them to want to know more about what they are learning. Or if you already have good grades then it may let them know to keep doing what they are doing, which is their best.Grades are also good because if someone messes up really bad on an assignment, or quiz/test they would then know what they would have to study, and get better at.If we did not have a grade scale students wouldn't know what to improve on. Some people think that grades are a bad thing because it makes them lose focus on what they're doing, or may make them lose creativity or interest. My views on grades are positive for multiple reasons.
