Land of the free

I believe it is more important to treat everyone equal than it is to treat everyone fair for many reasons. Treating everyone equal means they all have the same opportunities and same laws and regulations as the next person no matter race, wealth, religion, or ethnic background. If everyone is equal you could not really complain about life being difficult if you had all the same opportunities and abilities as everyone else. Treating everyone fair means that everyone is going to be treated at least as well as a base starting point, but some people would be treated much better than others and same the other way around. Also treating people fair means that you could be treated horrible but if certain groups are treated that way then you would be allowed to be treated that way for no reason. I think its more important for everyone to be treated equal rather than fair because if everyone is equal no one can complain really or be upset about much of anything. Also if everyone is equal more people will be happier than if they were just treated fair. That is why equality is better than fairness in America.

September 28th assignment

"We do tests to make teachers look good and the school look good, but we know they don't help us to learn what's important to us." I hate having to learn all the stuff that is going to be on a big standardized test. Most of that information is not going to help me in my life after school. All my effort in school should not be just to make teachers look better than they really are. If I have to work really hard to get A's and B's in school but have no problem getting advanced and accelerated on standardized tests then something should be changed because one shouldn't be hard and the other easy. I don't understand why I am supposed to make the teachers look good when most of them do nothing to help me when I need it or are there for me or other students when they need someone to be there for them. Also we take tests on things that aren't going to help us get to college for what we want especially if everything we do in school is just for the tests and not to get us the knowledge we need to get through college and life after college.

What I think about the election.

I personally do not care too much about the election due to the fact that I have no part in what will or might happen in the election because of my age. I just want a fair and just president who does what the country needs about the economy and fix the issues of the devaluing dollar. Also I would prefer for the president to be independent and not 100% towards any specific party but more towards caring about the future of our nation in these uncertain times instead of arguing about plans and war when we can get to a resolution to help all of that without a specific party's bias.

How kids can't play sports.

I really do not understand why any kids would not want to play sports. I would be so bored if I did not have basketball as something to do almost everyday of the year. If I did not have sports my life would suck, so I personally don't know what the kids that aren't athletes do in their free time. If you don't play sports all I could think of doing is sleeping and eating. I wouldn’t be able to just sit around all day doing nothing exciting. Also I would think kids who aren’t into sports would get sick more from not being active and not doing healthy things. Also I don’t understand how someone would want to go through school and not play any sports and be completely fine with that. I think that everyone should play sports because school is too boring if you aren’t in sports.
