After pressing the link the first question I chose was ...
1. Views of Martin Luther King: Should they be taught in schools?
Martin Luther King Jr. was a great advocate for human rights, he believed that we were all equal no matter what out race or color of our skin was. A great quote from him that I stumbled upon is "I am not interested in power for power's sake, but I'm interested in power that is moral, that is right and that is good." He wasnt interested in having power just to feel superior, he was interested in doing what was morally right. In my opinion Martin Luther King should be taught in schools. He protested about laws that were unjust to the blacks and that just because judges and advocates of the law say that it is correct, you had to question this statement. For example some laws denied blacks access to government services for which they were forced to pay taxes, and there were also the laws mandating segregation. By teaching Martin Luther King in schools you ware teaching the students about morality and the difference between right and wrong. You are teaching the students how to question what other people say is right and to form their own opinion on beliefs of what they consider morally right.
2. Should cell phones be allowed in schools?
Personally this is a tough question for me ... I would like to say no because it is a BIG distraction in school and students don't pay as much attention to the education they are being given, but then again if it is merely used for emergency purposes then yes I do think students should be allowed to have cell phones in school. Another factor that should be considered is the age of these students with cell phones, but then again we have no authority over that, just the parents. In conclusion I say no cell phones shouldn't be allowed in school, if an emergency occurs the student will find out throughout the teacher or principal, and if we survived MANY years ago without cell phones in school I'm pretty sure we'll do just fine.
