Blog # 10 - Persuasive Trail Run

Would you really want to be somewhere where there are sick kids everywhere? I wouldn’t.
There are some students that are sick a lot, and miss a lot of school. It really depends on what you're sick with, but many students have been gone for weeks at a time just being sick. You really can’t help what you’re sick with or how long you have been gone for. That’s why absences shouldn’t go against blue or white cards.
If you think about, a C is average, which is good. If you get more than one C on your report card, then you don’t get a card. That should be changed. Students really do try there hardest and if that’s the best they can do, then that should be okay. We should be rewarded for trying our hardest, and a card would be a really go reward.
Also, getting a blue or white card could boost student’s self-esteem. If kids got a blue card, that would make them want to get a white card, which would get them better grades. Along with boosting kid’s self esteem, the cards may make the kids want to come to school. That way, the more they are at school, the more they will understand the homework. Then, they will get better grades.
I think that if this really happens, kids will enjoy coming to school. The will have smiles on their faces because they are healthy and have a really good self-esteem. I really think that this would be a good change for Olympia High School.
