    4. Vishwa that is a great amendment kids need to go out side because that is physical education. Because if your going to Inman middle school then you need to go out side and play! And you only have P.E only 1/4 of the year so the other 3 sections of the year you have no recess then kids get loud and don't listen because they have not gotten there inner crazy out! So i fully agree about the whole recess thing! Mrs.hall i hope you read this because its true! - Parker Vellieux

    5. Vishwa, seeing as there are much more things to learn in those higher grades, you're basically asking for longer, more tiring school days, and teachers rushing to teach lessons. While this would be cool and slightly benefit the students, I disagree because of academic time not fitting in to a tight schedule.

      Delete
    6. I think that is good idea Vishwa it will give us more exercise, but will we have time for recess with all the work we have in high school and middle school?

    7. That is a great right because everyone needs to go outside and play or you could fall asleep in class with all the work.

    9. I'm with Riley for this one. We would have to complete our assignments VERY FAST to get recess and much more homework. :(

    1. $alter thats is a very nice idea and i agree 1000% we should but shouldn't it be class work you forgot to do just saying homework is for home not school but that is a great idea!!!

    2. I think that's a great idea, but again with Peyton, you should always do your homework at home not at school unless its free time! -Lucy Adams

  3. My amendment would be that students get the chance to listen to music of their choice everyday after instructions(you will need to bring your electronic and headphones) (no computers)

    Replies
    1. I agree about getting to listen to music after instruction, but what if somebody isn't allowed to bring an electronic? I think that the students should have a QUICK vote of what music they want to listen to. If a lot of the students disagree, they could also write down their idea and the teacher picks one. I do think having music at the end of instruction is a good idea though.

  4. An amendment I would publish would have to be allowing kids to chew gum in class! I know you guys think it will annoy and/or distract kids in class, but as long as they don't pop their gum it will be alright! I think all kids would like to chew gum in ALL classes. Respond if you would like to. -Lucy Adams

  5. I think people should the right to eat their snack in any class period at school. This means that I could eat my snack in Ms.Riggins class instead of in math.

    1. that is a great idea but does that mean that you could get more than one snack? - Triston

      Delete
    2. Well you see, most schools don't even have snack, so snack time is pretty much a reward to us. I don't think it would be a good idea to mess with that.

      Delete
    3. This means that you could eat a little bit of your snack each period. This does not mean you can have more than one snack Triston.
      - Annie

    4. I think that us even having snack is a reward and having snack in one period is more organized and the teachers expect us to have a snack in that class.
      - Hanna

    5. I think that is a great idea. For example, what if you are still full from your breakfast? You wouldn't be able to eat again until lunch.

      Delete
    5. Triston,
      I like the idea of each class having a pet, but I also agree with Michael; the teacher should decide. Also,(as Damian pointed out) kids may have allergies. Third pets would cost money. Parents and teacher might not want to spend their money on them. And a school full of pets-that's a lot of money. Although it still would be very entertaining to have a class pet (for every classroom)

      -Sofia

  9. If I was able to create and amendment it would be no student can lose recess unless the majority of witnesses or students asked prove the student guilty unless the teacher sees the student do the action him/herself.

  12. We should be allowed to choose what educational videos we can watch or at least ban 'LearnZillion'.
    Their videos are really boring via math class. I don't exactly know what "via" means to don't judge me.

  14. My amendment would be to make a 10 minute break in between classes. This means we could go to our lockers and get stuff from our lockers. We wouldn't have to carry so much stuff around!

    Replies
    1. That would be amazing Losha! However, you have to think about academic time, our school days would have to be more than an hour longer to fit in all the learning. I do agree with you, but maybe a five minute break every other class instead?

    2. Then, we would miss class time. We could get seriously behind....

  18. I think that kids should be allowed to bring their water bottles to school and any place in school whenever they please, because sometimes teachers do not allow children to drink water during class, which could lead to dehydration and serious throat injuries.
    (That is quite possibly the longest sentence I have ever written in my entire life..)
    ~Annabelle C.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Yes, Annabelle! I totally agree! You should be able to bring water bottles to class. However, the teachers that don't allow you to bring water bottles to class, don't they allow you to drink out of the water fountains in and around the school? So, I agree, except the fact that most schools already have water fountains laid around the school building. :P
      ~Coco Lu

      Delete
    2. That's definitely true, but the few who don't allow you to get water *cough* specials teachers *cough* should allow you to bring water bottles to class.

      Delete
    3. I totally agree, students should ALWAYS have the right to water. also we should have the right to a bathroom at all times. In art we can't drink or use the restroom, what's u with that?
      (This might also have been the most long-winded thing I've said in my entire life too!)

      Delete
    4. Pretty much, that is the longest thing you have wrote and I agree with you.

      Delete
    5. It's also a good idea, but water spills could be bad if the water got on the paper.

      (This is definitely NOT the longest thing I have said in my life. :))

  19. If I had to create an amendment that is fair to all citizens, I would say that everyone is allowed to wear anything to anywhere they want to. As long as nobody gets injured or trips over long dresses, I think that it will be okay. :) Just make sure you don't wear big poofy dresses that block others' way. :)

    1. Wait, people can't wear anything they want? If that's been the case for all this time, then YEAH of course!!

  20. My amendment is I think all school lunches should be healthy. (They should also be really good.)

    *including ice cream!!!!! I think this because all kids should have access to nutritious and delicious food.

  29. If i could add an amendment to be published in the Constitution, it would be that teachers can not take away recess as a punishment. They should take away other fun things. Silent lunch would be a better punishment instead of recess because we need to exercise. We only have 20 minutes of recess which is totally not enough, we should have at least 30 minutes.

  30. I think teachers should not be able to be mean for no reason. Like yelling about nothing. Some teachers just yell because they can. So all teachers out there you shall not yell at us by the court of law! And when the teachers yell for no reason they are kidia bulling us. So all teachers out there don't you dare even try to yell for no reason. And i do get that it is okay to yell if a kid does something horrible but just don't yell because you can! Ans for all the teachers that don't yell awesome job! All teachers have to remember that yelling is not right and that you must have fun. Don't be up tight and don't get mad at us because you had a bad day. That's not right! With great hopes and joy! - Parker Vellieux

  39. If I was allowed to add an amendment to the Bill of Rights it would be. (drum role here)


    It would be that before the teacher eliminates recces for the whole class kids will be
    allowed to express themselves to the teacher, because most of the time it is just groups.
    If the teacher does not allow this there will be fairness problems.

  47. If I could make an amendment it would be that you should be able to have lunch outside. I think that would be great because if it is a wonderful day, it would be even more wonderful to eat outside and enjoy it. Of course you would have to pick up after yourself and eat in one area, so we wouldn't trash the entire playground. This way you could have lunch before recess or vice versa because lunch and recess are consecutive.

  56. If I could add an amendment to the Constitution it would be that there would be a tax on unhealthy food or on candy, or the companies will pay a fee to doctors and dentists who help people with less money. That way, people who drink soda almost every day will have a chance to get their teeth cleaned or get a blood test, but I do not mean a $100 x-ray or monthly check-ups for braces.

  57. My mom says that grownups should have the right to have nap time.
    If I could add an amendment, it would state that class cannot start until 10 a.m. and class should end at 3 pm. I think kids wake up too early to catch the bus and to get class on time.:-o

  60. If I could make a new amendment to the Constitution it would be that you have to have security cameras in every school. I know it would cost a lot of money, but the cameras would be fully funded by the government. The reason I want security cameras in every school is because, a lot of low funded schools don't have a very good security system and this is a way that you can get one without having to pay. Since the citizens of the United States of America have to pay taxes, I think that the government should be able to fund schools that can't afford security cameras.

  62. I think school should start at 6:30 AM and then it will end at 1 PM. So then we will have a lot of time after school.

  63. I'd also like the bathrooms to be more luxurious. So we can have a peaceful time in the restrooms.

  64. I think that we should have a classroom bill of rights. The first amendment should be: Do not discriminate against other students, teachers, or staff members because of race, religion, gender, or any other unjust reason. If anyone agrees with me about a classroom bill of rights, then please post a second amendment to add to this.
