Read the following persuasive paragraph. In one to two sentences, explain how the author uses a counterclaim to help support his or her position regarding school uniforms. Be sure to use proper grammar, spelling, and mechanics.

"School Uniforms"

Requiring uniforms in public high schools has been debated for many years. There are certainly many positive reasons for having students wear them. If students were uniformly dressed, there would be less distractions about clothing, adding more focus on academics. Another reason to add uniforms is that there would no longer be conflict over how young people dress. There would be no singling out of poorer students who cannot wear designer labels, and young people wouldn't have to worry so much about fitting in because of how they dress. Opponents, however, say requiring school uniforms suppresses a young person's need for individuality. This simply isn't the case, though, as students can use hairstyle, jewelry, and so on to show their individuality. Requiring school uniforms would erase a number of conflicts and problems facing high school students today.

Answer:

According to the author, it is reasonable to have to wear a uniform in schools. Because it is good for such students.

Need this asap ill mark brainliest and give a 5 star Read the excerpt below from the reading. Then rewrite the excerpt from the point of view of Shiro’s neighbor.
The greedy neighbor, hearing of this new piece of good luck, was filled with envy as before, and called on the old man and asked to borrow the wonderful mortar for a short time, pretending that he, too, sorrowed for the death of Shiro, and wished to make cakes for a festival to the dog’s memory.

The old man did not in the least wish to lend it to his cruel neighbor, but he was too kind to refuse. So the envious man carried home the mortar, but he never brought it back.

Several days passed, and Shiro’s master waited in vain for the mortar, so he went to call on the borrower, and asked him to be good enough to return the mortar if he had finished with it. He found him sitting by a big fire made of pieces of wood. On the ground lay what looked very much like pieces of a broken mortar. In answer to the old man’s inquiry, the wicked neighbor answered haughtily:

“Have you come to ask me for your mortar? I broke it to pieces, and now I am making a fire of the wood, for when I tried to pound cakes in it only some horrid smelling stuff came out.”

What do you think the most persuasive argument in the editorial about students texting at school is and why?
here's the story
Editorial: Let high school students use their cell phones outside class
Schools all over the nation are acknowledging that technology is a large part of students’ lives. While most schools continue to ban texting and calling during class time, some schools are allowing students to call and text in-between classes.

Students have been doing this in secret for a long time. Allowing students to use their phones between classes will cut down on this behavior.

Additionally, most parents want the option of being able to contact their child between classes during the school day. Cell phones have become an important parenting tool.

Sure, some people will say that students should be able to be “phone-free” during the school day, but that is probably not realistic in this day and age. If schools can help children and parents communicate without disrupting class, all the better! Let kids go mobile at school!

3. How does the evidence in this second paragraph relate to the claim?

Read the passage.

Art education must receive funding in Pleasantville Public Schools. We must have funding because it is so necessary. Who could be against funding for art? Unfortunately, our mayor does not support art funding and will not vote for it. She is uncultured and does not care about art. She probably does not allow art even in her own house.

Which phrases from the passage represent the logical fallacy known as begging the question?

“art education must receive funding” and ”we must have funding”
“it is so necessary” and “will not vote for it”
“She is uncultured and does not care about art.”
“She probably does not allow art even in her own house.”

BRAINLIEST FOR RIGHT ANSWERS!
Read these paragraphs and answer the question that follows:

In 2008, more than one million American students gave nearly 20 million service hours to their communities. They made a difference in people's lives and learned some important life lessons in the process. Organizations, including schools, are actively promoting service for all citizens as a way to be involved, help others, and improve themselves.

Service is helping other people and being active in your community. For example, one group of teens planted a community garden with their friends. They grow a variety of vegetables. The garden requires regular care. The teens donate the produce to a local soup kitchen. Workers there use the produce to help feed people in the community. By tending the garden and donating their produce, the teens are actively helping make life a bit better for others in their community.

Service is valuable in ways that cannot be measured in dollars. People volunteer or serve others without expecting money or gifts in return. Service is not about earning money. It is not just collecting money to give to a group. It is about action and contributing to the common good. The people who serve as well as those who receive help benefit in many ways that are more important than money or gifts. For example, a soup kitchen provides essential food to people who may otherwise go hungry. The soup kitchen is extremely valuable for those struggling to get enough to eat. Those serving learn about compassion and how helping others can improve life for all.

Millions of Americans are making society better for themselves and for others. They are participating citizens in their community, raising up those who are less fortunate. In return, they become better people who can understand the perspectives and needs of others, which are invaluable and important qualities of good citizens.

Which sentence from the passage best describes a conflict in this passage?

As soon as Curtis woke up, he knew something was wrong. His face seemed like it was on fire and itched something awful! He jumped out of bed and rushed to the bathroom and splashed water on his face, but it really didn’t help. He looked closely in the mirror, and the whole right side of his face was red. Alarmed, he yelled for his mother, who rushed into the bathroom. “What’s wrong?” she asked. “Why are you screaming?”
“Look at my face,” Curtis said and turned to her.
His mother put her glasses on and bent down to examine his face. She touched the red area and pushed his hair back. “It itches like crazy,” he said.
She turned his head to one side so the light was better and touched the red area again. “Try not to scratch it,” she said, “that’ll just make it worse.”
“Don’t you have something you can put on it?”
“Come into my bathroom, and I’ll put some lotion on it,” she said.
The lotion helped a little; at least Curtis didn’t feel like he wanted to scratch his face off. “What do you think it is?” he asked his mother.
“Well, it looks like something bit you,” she said, “maybe a spider.”
“In my bed?” he asked and shivered involuntarily.
“Maybe, but weren’t you and Trevor playing in the woods yesterday?” she asked.
“That’s right, we were, but nothing bit me.”
She turned his face to get a better look. “Whether it was in the woods or in your bed, something definitely bit you right there on your cheekbone,” she said. “I can see the mark clearly in this light. We’re going to have to take you to the clinic.”
“But I have school today, and I haven’t missed school all year. Can’t I go to the school nurse? I think the lotion is really working,” he added hurriedly. This last statement was not really true as his face was still hot and itchy, but Curtis was determined to get a perfect attendance award at the awards assembly in May.
“I’d feel better if Dr. Cline looked at it. She can recommend a skin cream that will help you feel better. Go get dressed while I call the clinic. Maybe they can see you first thing and you can go to school a little late.”

"He looked closely in the mirror, and the whole right side of his face was red."

I knew I Should have worn a parachute today. My name is Olivia Wade, I am 15 years old and this is the story of how I jumped out of a plane parachute-less, And lived to tell the story. The day started out like any day. I had overslept ( again!) and was late to school, and my best friend, Ava, was already sitting there waiting for me. “ What took you so long? School starts at 8:00 and you're not usually here till 10:00. It’s 10:30!” Ava said. “ Yeah, yeah, I Know. I just-I slept in a little that’s all. Where’s Andrew?” I asked. “ His dad is being cruel again and won’t let him out of the house.” Ava answered. “ oh, Okay.” I was a fan of Andrew and his work. He’s a model and he’s not even in college yet! But, I’ve always dreamed of being a fashion designer. At lunch, Ava and I sat with a friend of hers named Nickolas. “ hey girls!” cheered Nick. “ Hi” I replied. “Hey Nicky!” Giggled Ava. “ Did you girls get an invite from Andrew yesterday?” Nick asked politely. “ I got one” Ava said. “ I DID TOO!!!” I yelled. “ Um...Okay!” Nick stuttered. “ sorry, I just-” I got distracted by a boy walking into the school building. It was Andrew! I kinda panicked. “ You okay?” Ava Asked. “ Yeah!” I replied. Andrew walked over to where Ava, Nick, and I were sitting. “ Hey Guys! Did you get the invitations I sent?” Andrew asked. “ Yeah, we got them” Nick stated. “ Great, and you are all coming, right?” Andrew asked again. “ yeah” Ava replied.
“ Great! See you later!” Andrew cheered.


AFTER SCHOOL…….

I was worried because the invites were for skydiving, which I've never done before. The plane took off and everyone was grabbing a parachute, except me. “ What’s wrong?” Andrew asked me. I tripped over my words, “ I’m okay- I mean I’m just- I’ve never skydived before'' I Stammered. Andrew laughed, then tried to help me find a parachute. He was shocked when he discovered that there were no more parachutes. “ oh, well, I guess hold on tight to me.” Andrew said. “ WHAT!? HOLD ON TO YOU?! I MEAN OK-I MEAN, let’s go before I change my mind.” Ava, Nick, Andrew and I all jumped out of the plane at the same time. And believe it or not, We all ( including me) Landed safely. This was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had! Then, Andrew had to go, Nick, Ava, And I were gonna go get some Ice Cream. “Andrew! Wait!” I exclaimed. “ Listen, I have to tell you something. I’ve wanted to tell you for a while but I was too worried about how you would react. I like you more than a friend, I would do anything for you Because I-I love you.” I had finally got that off my chest. Andrew told me he had felt the same way about me. I was EXTREMELY SHOCKED!!! “ You DO feel the same way? And you aren’t just saying that?” I asked him. “ You think I’m lying? Why would I lie to you. I care about you and your feelings.” Andrew replied. I just said, “ wow!” while my mind was screaming, “ AHHHHHH! HE LIKES ME TOO?! THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!!!” Andrew got in his limo and Ava, Nick, and I went to go get some ice cream. Maybe, I didn’t need a parachute today. Cause if I had one, All that stuff wouldn’t have happened. It feels good to face your fears every now and then. And let that be a lesson to all you lovesick girls out there, If you want him to know, accept the invite, and forget the parachute!!!

Read the story "Memories Of A Memory" and answer the questions.


Have you ever witnessed something amazing, shocking or surprising and found when describing the event that your story seems to change the more you tell it? Have you ever experienced a time when you couldn't really describe something you saw in a way that others could understand? If so, you may understand why some experts think eyewitness testimony is unreliable as evidence in scientific inquiries and trials. New insights into human memory suggest human memories are really a mixture of many non-factual things.


First, memory is vague. Imagine your room at home or a classroom you see every day. Most likely, you could describe the room very generally. You could name the color of the walls, the floors, the decorations. But the image you describe will never be as specific or detailed as if you were looking at the actual room. Memory tends to save a blurry image of what we have seen rather than specific details. So when a witness tries to identify someone, her brain may recall that the person was tall, but not be able to say how tall when faced with several tall people. There are lots of different kinds of "tall."


Second, memory uses general knowledge to fill in gaps. Our brains reconstruct events and scenes when we remember something. To do this, our brains use other memories and other stories when there are gaps. For example, one day at a library you go to quite frequently, you witness an argument between a library patron and one of the librarians. Later, when telling a friend about the event, your brain may remember a familiar librarian behind the desk rather than the actual participant simply because it is recreating a familiar scene. In effect, your brain is combining memories to help you tell the story.


Third, your memory changes over time. It also changes the more you retell the story. Documented cases have shown eyewitnesses adding detail to testimony that could not have been known at the time of the event. Research has also shown that the more a witness's account is told, the less accurate it is. You may have noticed this yourself. The next time you are retelling a story, notice what you add, or what your brain wants to add, to the account. You may also notice that you drop certain details from previous tellings of the story.


With individual memories all jumbled up with each other, it is hard to believe we ever know anything to be true. Did you really break your mother's favorite vase when you were three? Was that really your father throwing rocks into the river with you when you were seven? The human brain may be quite remarkable indeed. When it comes to memory, however, we may want to start carrying video cameras if we want to record the true picture.
