 Mr . Anderson a prediatician for many families with low - income is giving powerful medician called Adderral to help them focus in school. It`s not nesseccarily for A.d.h.d which Dr . Anderson said is " an excuse " for unfocused children , but to help children  improve thier acedmic preformance . " we`ve decided as soceity that it`s expensive to change the kids enironment . So we have to change the kid . " said  Dr . Micheal Anderson .

The medication are bring used on low - income elementry children with faltering grades and parents eager to succeed them . Families can rarely afford tutoring and family conseling , medication becomes the most reliable and effective way . Dr . Rapport who accliam the stimulants as ror A.d .h.d - fear that doctors are exposing children unneccessary ricks, such as growth increased blood pressure, and in rare casses psychotic episodes.

Most of america has low - income schools and families also children who have lack of focus but that dosen`t mean give them pills.
Every Parent does want their kid to succeed but giving pills that can severe hurt them will not be a right solution . Children every day in my class use lack of focus , I am one but taking a pill may harm me for life .
The doctors that think it`s right to give students pills for lack of focus is wrong . They are only worried about the short term effect not the long term effect . Lots of kids have trouble in school. There are other alternatives , like school counseling or trying to get teachers more involed

Chineese Invasion in Tech world .

In the Wall street Journal , It was said that Chinese telecommunications giant that has been attempting to expand in the U.S. poses a national-security threat . This pose as a threat U .S becauase their equiment could be used to spy on America . American military and intelligence officials have long been warning privately that China poses a  threat to U.S. defense systems and companies.

The two Chineese firms said that they would never let the chineese government use equipment for surveillance, saying it wouldn’t be in their business interests to do so .“ZTE equipment is safe.” said David Dai Shu, the company’s director of global public affairs . ZTE says that their publicly traded company has ensured that it is transparent

The Chineese has more advance eqiutment then the U . S and if they really wanted to they could of access america`s system . We get majority of our technology from China , so we really have little to no chance of stopping them .

I have read that 76% of American things are deported from other countries . America has been in wars with almost half of the countries aroung the world. Chinees probably wants something america has .

What does Chinnese want ? It is that important that they have to sleal it ? Is what they want harmful to people ? What length will China go through to get what they are looking for ? Will it go as far as another war between countries?

Unlimted texting Effecting Teenagers ?

 The article " Texting May Be Taking A Toll " by Katie Hafner indicates that unlimited texting in companies such as At&T Mobility and Version Wireless have a great effect on adolescents.
Physicians and psychologists say its leading to anxiety , distraction in school , falling grades , repetitive injuries , and sleep deprivation.

 American teenagers send and receive an average of 2,272 text messages per month and almost 80 messages a day . " That`s one every few minutes " said Dr .  Martin Joffee , a pediatrician in Greenbae , California . " Then you hear that theses kids are responding to texts late at night . That's going to cause sleep issues in a age group that's already plagued with sleep issues . "

Sherry Turkle , a psychologists who has studied texting among teenagers in Boston in three years said " If your being flooded by constant communication , the pressure to answer immediately is quite high " , and she added " if something is vibrating next to you every couple of minutes it makes it hard to be in a state of mind . "


I don't have a phone but my friends text 24/7 . This distracts them from any kind of thought or responsibility.

This article could have supported with more facts to show the world the real consequences from texting other then the regular such as grades and sleep . I realize that parents are also apart of this texting effects on teenagers because they need to set boundaries . Everything always starts at your house.

I think that teenagers with phones should have more stricter phone access . Parents should take time off to get kids involved with doing chores , homework and bedtime . This will help teenagers with responsibility , grades and teenagers who do not text a night will feel better in the morning .

Students Cheating High Achievers No Eception ?

        Richard Perez researched that a large amount of students are cheating  more each year. Even some of the nations most competitive school such as Stuyvesant Highschool and Harvard have reports of cheating.The cheaters are not just the low-achievers but the high achievers as well .
 
" I dont think there`s any question students have become more competitve under pressure , as a result students tend to excuse more from themselves " said Donald L. Mc.cabe, a studetn Proffesor and lead reasearcher on student cheating.
Studies show that the internet plays a big part in studewnts cheating. It has made cheating easier and the internet is acessable. Proffesers say that when they assign an assightment students are most likely to go online and copy the work of other`s.
The article doesnt just blame the students , it blames the school, teachers and parents for not setting the line striaaght about cheating.
I think that students do cheat alot and no matter if you are a straight A student or a striaght F student they have one thing on there mind and that is to secced no mater what. Parents do put alot of pressure on there children to secced. Schools do that as well. some People think A little cheating will not hurt as long as you dont get caught .
This atricle shows that society tellls people you have to succeed no matter the conseques nor the after math . Does it really matter if students cheast ? Is america really protraying succeeding at any cost ?
