Kids should be able to listen to music during class. It could help you concentrate and focus on your schoolwork. It’s good for studying or working on a big test that needs concentration. Also this could relieve stress during class because all these test could have you really stressed.

This could really help them concentrate and focus on school work.

Says Wildcatblogology There's too much noise and distractions going on so listening to music could really help.

It could help you study or help you on school work.

Says study mode more than half of their students increased their grades”. Says Article “Should students be allowed to listen to music while taking a test” by Stephanielu She says that the students who are not good test takers, those are the people who get nervous or distracted easily.

Well I honestly think students have rights to listen to music to improve their grades and smarts. And yes I know it’s distracting and if kids go too far it could start drama and maybe it could be a waste of time with kids sorting out their play list but give them a chance. But we are trying to improve my and a lot of other students grades so think about we need to improve kids jobs and kids’ lives to make our world better.

The article "Listening to Music Helps Students Be more Productive in the Classroom" at teachersatrisk.com website claims, "Listening to music helps improve productivity. Why? One reason is because music acts like white noise in the background, preventing students from noticing every other little noise that usually distracts them. Some kids can't tune out things like a pencil dropping or someone asking a question. Their brain takes everything in; consequently, they are often distracted and off task in the classroom." I can relate to this because I have ADHD and ADD, but I don't take medicine for it. Music is like a medicine to my ADHD and ADD, it calms me down and helps me focus, and it helps me stay on task. Music is key to learning []0

====It is unsafe to eat fast food every day because alot of unsafe body conditions could happen and it could really effect your life like obesity, heart risk and much much more.obesity has both immediate and long-term effects on health and well-being. ====

====And vegi and fruit commercials only spend 1 million dollars on commercials now that's bad. Alot of people die from this most people thought eating McDonald for a month was bad well think about eating it every day.====

====So remember be careful what you eat and if you are one of those people who eat fast food every single day well stop its bad for you. Think about it some people get tired from walking one step and that's what happens if you eat that b ad stuff.====

3-27-14 //**best**//: this is some of my story in my journal- Its Friday night I’m waiting in the locker room blasting music into my headphones just waiting for the game to start. Then my coach comes in saying get your gear on and bring your bags. And that’s when I got butterfly’s knowing that its about to go down me and my friends all getting pumped up screaming. So as we walk threw the dirt I'm praying a Hail Mary for good luck. Hear the coaches in the background screaming and saying we got this. As we walk on the field I see the other //**average writing:**// One day I woke up from a crazy dream like there was zombies coming up from graves people getting munched on and I well I was so scared. The thing I was home alone and well I thought to myself well I need a weapon to survive the zombie apocalypse so I went in the back yard but in the corner of my eye I saw one of the walkers. //** worst: **// I dont think im going to be going to track practice tonight because my leg has been hurting really bad i have a disease on my leg called as schloter it pretty much looks like i have another knee its really bad when ever i run for a long time.


 * Reading ** - I mean I'm ok at reading if I had to rate my self between a 1 out of a 10 I think I would be a 6 or a low 7.
 * Writing ** -well I'm not the best speller but I'm good at making my stories sound good and add some good details.
 * Listing- ** I'm not a good listener at all I always get bored and start to get fall asleep which would cause me to forgot what we are doing in class.
 * Speaking- ** I am not a good speaker I have trouble sounding out some letters and talking in front of a lot of people.

I think I need to mostly work on speaking and listening because I'm a shy person around people I'm really not familiar with some kids on the first day of school or my parents friends that totally creep me out. Then I need to work on listing because I never pay attention to my parents or my teachers Sorry.

I blink my eye so I can barely see the sun coming up. I hear my alarm going off I take deep yawn as I plop out of my bed and hop in the shower. I feel like a zombie every single morning because of those dang kids. So then I go down stairs but as I'm pouring a glass of milk I see the time its 7:30 I'm suppose to leave at 6:45 I drop my milk no time to clean it up so I jump

in my Bugatti and yeah you're thinking I'm poor because I'm a 7th grade teacher well its called lottery ticket. As I drift in two my parking spot I hop out and sprint in too class and sorry guys my name is Mr. Bob and welcome two Imiddle.

Ok sorry students today I'm going to be showing you this video on dangerous bacteria. I hear jack the worst student any teacher, mom, dad, brother, could have saying boo and standing up I had to say something. So I said Jack sit down you are distracting the students. Ok Mr. Bob I don't think I really care do I. then I hear the shyest kid say sit down jack you're not cool.

All right but we can step outside right now. I sent out a message to the principle two see if she can handle the two kids. Well Uma principles were having some trouble in room 15 i'll be there in 5. I am really trying to calm them down but even the other students are taking out food and throwing their sandwiches and just everything in their lunch. Oh and my bad the shy kids name is Ryan now its starting to get a little to to serious.

Ryan and jack both stand up and I'm thinking wow I don't want to stand up in case I get dropped by Jack but Jack pulls back and swings at Ryan but Ryan was able to dodge it and tackles Jack to the floor so have to jump in and all the kids are chanting fight fight fight. So I have step in and I'm throwing kids off of kids back and forth trying to control every one then I Hear the door open I see like every teacher trying to calm the kids down and they are asking them about what happen and how did all this just happen.

Then I see Jack grab a crowbar and hit Ryan over the head so I jump on Jack and try to calm him down just enough so he can stop hurting everyone in the class he’s causing some real trouble.

‍Should we stop bullying?‍

Hello do you think bullying should stop? ‍Well I think it should to m‍any kids ar‍e going to the max w‍ith all these little kids committing suicide. Well for all those bullies out there how would you like getting bullied? Yeah I didn’t think so. I have been a bully and I have been bullied nether is the right path trust me.

Yes you probably feel cool and very powerful yeah I’m going to agree it feels good. But what I’m trying to tell you is that it doesn’t feel good to get bullied and I want it to stop now. Yes I know some of the bullies live in bad neighborhood or just grew up getting abused. Yes I get were your coming from but that doesn’t mean u have to be so aggressive and angry towards other kids.

More then 100,000 and counting have committed suicide from bullying. Also kids are getting prescriptions for medication pills and also they are going into therapy from bullying. These are some reasons bullies are bad they can get hurt, scared, sick, lonely, embarrassed, and depressed and to much reasons to say. Some reasons why they would ever bully anyone is that.

They ether got bullied when they were a little kid or they got bullied when they were a little kid. They also could have bullied kids just over popularity. ‍According to kidshealth.org they also agree that bullying should stop “Bullying is a big problem that affects lots of kids.” ‍

“Three-quarters of all kids say they have been bullied or teased. Being bullied can make kids feel really bad. The stress of dealing with bullies can make kids feel sick.” so if you are a bully you wouldn’t no how many lives you would be saving don’t just do this for me do it for all the kids that have lost their lives and that are thinking of losing them right now so thank you
