Schools should have EXTREME-Strict Dress Codes


Round 1 is acceptance and to state your first 2 arguments about schools having strict dress codes. Round 2 is to argue about your opponents 3 arguments Round 3 is for choosing 2 NEW arguments about the topic Round 4 is for arguing about your opponents 2 NEW arguments My argument: 1) As dress code is already enforced in most schools, dress code is not taken seriously.

Should kids be permitted to a PG 13 or R rated movie?


Kids should definitely not be permitted in a PG13 or rated R movie. Letting a child, around the age of 3-11, go to a rated PG13 or R movie can mess up a child's mind.

Movies like these cause children to think about things they shouldn't have in mind at their age. If we let our children go to movies like these, they will have many...

Babe Ruth in the modern era of baseball


Babe Ruth is considered by many baseball experts to be one of the best to have ever stepped on the field. He set many records, including home runs in a season and all time, Yankee record for both career average and highest average in a season, as well as being as winner of the Triple Crown. Many believe that is Ruth played in the modern era, he would have hit over one thousand home runs. However, I believe that in he modern era of baseball, Ruth's statistics would not have been as staggering as...
