Yes – Pro - For
• 6th graders are responsible
• You can choose your own menu
• You could visit with your family
No – Con - Against
• Students won’t return to school• Some live too far to walk• Buses would be expensive and maybe not
even available• What if I get hurt, bullied on my way home,
who will help?• No one is home at my house• I can’t socialize with my friends at home
like I can in the cafeteria
Yes-Pro-For
• Ease of choice in deciding what to wear in the morning
• Nurse will have the exact replacement clothes if you rip or spill something on yourself
• You can proudly represent your school• Everyone looks the same for field trips and away
from school events, no one gets lost• There are many colors, styles and fabrics to
choose from
No – Con - Against
• No freedom of expression
• Uncomfortable
• Expensive
• You have to have two styles-winter and summer
• Attitude and self-esteem would decrease and learning goes down too
Pro
• Riders can have brain damage, coma, paralysis, and even death
• If you ever witnessed an accident, you would wear one
• Baseball players wear helmets, why can’t you?
• Remember Roethelisberger’s accident?
Con
• It should be highly suggested but a choice
• A broken helmet could hurt your head too
• Only long rides should require a helmet not short ones in your neighborhood
• Looks cool with no helmet
• Can’t hear well with a helmet covering your ears
• Can’t see well, limits your side vision
Pro
• Cormorants damage trees and fish• Less fish means less food for people to
eat• Business are affected, cormorants take
jobs away• It’s only controlling the population, not
exterminating them• Environmental destruction is a good
reason to kill
Con
• Shooters may miss and kill something else• Killing is too drastic, there must be a non-violent way• The birds could be moved to another environment, or
sanctuary, or zoo• We could cause them to go extinct• Cormorants might have helpful benefits that we don’t
even know about yet• The birds are only doing what is natural for them• Cormorants are alive, killing is wrong, it’s murder• We could train the birds to stop the bad behavior• Humans are supposed to preserve nature not destroy it,
birds are nature
Pro-Elimination
• Taxes would be lowered to 5 cents
• It cost more than a penny to make a penny
• Pennies are poisonous to people and animals if they are swallowed
• Pennies are small and get lost easily
• You can’t buy anything with one penny
• You can’t use pennies to pay turnpike tolls

Pro-Elimination-Continued
• Pennies in wishing wells poison fish
• Pennies are heavy in your pocket
• Lincoln is on a $5 bill, we would still be honoring him
• People would give more to charity since they would not be able to give just pennies
Con-Preservation
• How will you get correct change after a purchase without pennies?
• The penny honors Abraham Lincoln• Stores will have to change all their prices• Pennies are easy to use, they are the only
brown coin• All coins are poisonous if you eat them• You won’t be able to crank/flatten souvenir
pennies
Con-Preservation-Continued
• Zinc producing factories would fail, since a penny is over 95% zinc
• Our entire currency system would have to change and that would hurt the economy
• Pennies can easily be counted for free at bank coin counter machines
• Pennies are small and easy to carry
• There would be no more penny candy
Con-Preservation-Continued
• You couldn’t say “A penny for your thoughts” anymore
• No more making wishes in a wishing well• You can’t buy an 89 cent taco at Taco Bell• You can’t buy much with a dollar, why don’t you
get rid of that too?• Pennies are a part of history• Pennies are used as math manipulatives at
schools; Pendulum experiments need pennies
Con-Preservation-Continued
• Pennies are a great charity coin, pennies for homeless animals, pennies for a child’s operation
• You couldn’t say “A penny saved is a penny earned” anymore
• The $2 bill is already gone, what will you want to abolish next?
• People collect pennies
Pro
• Going to school in the summer can boost your grades
• Students in other countries go to school 30% more than U.S. kids
• More time spent learning a subject equals better test scores on that subject
• Teachers get more time in their day• Students can have more enrichment activities• Disadvantaged kids have nothing to do in the
summer and they forget what they learned
Con
• When would you play on a sport team or take music lessons
• Longer school days will make students feel stress
• It cost too much money to heat and light up the schools
• Schools would have to cook lunch and dinner• You wouldn’t be able to socialize with your
friends as much• You wouldn’t get exercise sitting at a desk
longer and kids would get unhealthy
