Day 13 - Should abortions be illegal?

When someone murders another person, losing their life, it is instantly counted as a crime and higher punishment is taken into action. Abortion, if not known already, is literally killing a baby before he or she is even born or known of gender. Killing is murder. Murder is a crime. Abortion should be illegal without a doubt. Because no matter how young, it is still a human being. It is selfish for the mother, and they can at least give the baby up for adoption.

Day 12 - Should schools start later in the morning?

It is a fact that every morning in a school environment, there are those handfuls of teens who have the "I don't want to be here, I just want to sleep" look on their faces. Yet in the afternoon, right when school ends, they act like they're on fifteen cups of coffee. This is because schools start their day way too early. If schools start later, this can have a huge impact. It can give students more sleep, more time in the morning for educational tasks, and give more motivation in a student.

Day 11 - Should teachers be allowed to have cell phones in the classroom?

Once the phone goes off in the classroom environment, or you are caught texting during a lesson, the phone is instantly taken up for disruption. Only for the students, that is. But yet when a teacher's phone goes off, nothing is done about it! The same should go for teachers when it comes to cell phone rules in school. It is a disruption no matter who is the owner of the phone, teachers need to be focused, and they can just use the school phones they have on the desks.

Day 10 - Should female construction workers earn the same wages as males?

Ever since women have been able to vote, there have been more rights for women everywhere in America. Somehow in construction working, women get lower paid than men. Should they be paid the same as men? The working area is the same, so why is it that women have lower payments because of their gender? This should be a new rule, for women have the same exact rights as men. Everyone is working the same, so why not? Finally, this can reduce women strikes.

Day 9 - Should American families have a two child max rule to limit population growth?

America is known for the freedom. Families can live happily with as many children as they want, and live the way they want. In a lot of other countries, this isn't possible. If the government limits families to have only two children, then what is America anymore? This cannot change the fact of the overpopulation. With this ridiculous rule, it can cause more problems in population. And what if a family has triplets? Then what can the government do? Many other problems can occur, too.

Day 8 - Should students who commit cyberbullying be suspended from school?

Bullying is a major issue in schools. Not only that, but ever since the new generation has come in with new technology, it has made bullying grow onto the world wide web. Social networks like Facebook or Myspace, or even Youtube, have been the homes of many bullies climbing their way to the innocent. In schools, when a student physically bullies someone, they are usually suspended. What makes this different from doing it online? If schools suspend a student for bullying online, this can lower the bully rates. It can show to other students that bullying is wrong, and can save many lives.

Day 7 - Should teachers have to pass a basic skills test every ten years to renew their certification?

When someone gets a job for the very first time, they may be very excited and motivated about it. While for others, as the job years grow, they can get tired of it. They could possibly lose their skills from lack of motivation. This ties in with a teaching career. If teachers are given a basic skills test every ten years as a chance to renew their certification, this can be sure that teachers are motivated and not losing skills. It can also open the eyes of teachers, and make the parents/students more comfortable.

Day 6 - Should schools offer fast food options like McDonald’s or Taco Bell?

Child obesity is a major problem in America. Schools have tried very hard in giving healthy options to lower the rates in overweight teens and children. However, many schools have noticed that the food the schools give is somewhat not perfect. Adding things like Taco Bell or Mcdonalds can make this even worse. This can cause many higher rates in overweight children, less motivation in class, and debates from parents.

Day 5 - Should teenage girls be allowed to get birth control without the permission of their parents?

It has always been said that having sex before marriage is wrong and rushing things, no matter what the situation. When two people love each other and get married, and are dedicated in the marriage, that is when they can make that decision. Teens are very open to this, and a lot have made a mistake over having sex before marriage. Which is why it is not allowed for teen girls to have birth control without a parent's permission. Should this be the opposite? This can cause more diseases, more crimes, and it can hurt the teen emotionally.

Day 4 - Should students have to wear uniforms?

For each time a student has progressed to a higher grade level in schools, it seems that they have more and more limits. Education is tough, but important. A lot of people don't understand how stressed a student is until they have had to deal with it. During their studies, they also have to deal with the stress of friendship/relationship drama. Should they be required to wear uniforms to the side of this? This can cause lower confidence, more drama, and even worse crimes or problems in school.

Day 3 - "Should more be done to protect and preserve endangered animals?"

America has done a lot to help our environment; with homeless animals and the hungry. However, there is still a problem with more animals. The number of endangering animals have been increasing due to our environment getting weaker and weaker. Everyone needs to stand up and help out the animals before they slip away from us in less than a second. There are charities that can be made, like collecting money. There can be creative projects made. Also, there can be food donations for feeding.

Day 2 - "Should everyone under the age of 17 have a 9:00 PM curfew?"

A typical teenager most likely loves to stay out at night after bed time. Faintly because of this, there have been many crimes by teenagers doing the most illegal things; drugs, rape, theft, the list goes on. The main reason these certain teenagers do such things mostly during the nighttime is so that their guardians are not known of it until they hear the news from someone else. However, not all teens are doing the bad thing. Some could be going to church lock-ins or prom night. Should people under the age of seventeen really require a curfew? First of all, it should only be for certain people if they've done something. Second, there shouldn't be a law for it for the innocent. And finally, isn't America known for the freedom.

Day One - "Should Student's Be Required to Take Spanish?"

In many high schools, students have multiple options for their language credit. Blackman High School, located in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, provides either Spanish, Latin, or French. Students can choose whichever language they prefer from the three. Should they be forced to only take Spanish? They should choose on their own, for students need to learn how to make their own decisions in education. Everyone has a different college major idea planned, so taking a certain language that fits their career choice can be a big help. Also, they need a taste of freedom.
