Welcome to the blog of LMCS's English 9 Classroom!Our class will use this blog to discuss issues relevant to our class readings and activities.
Blog Introduction
Once again, welcome to our class blog! The blog is a place for you to discuss your thoughts about our class reading and activities. We will visit the computer lab, as a class on a regular basis. There will be various assignments and questions posted here that you must complete and discuss.
You are also welcome to visit our blog outside of class, independently and I encourage you to do so. This is a place where you can ask your classmates questions about the reading or other things related to our class.
I remind you, however, that your activity on this site will be closely monitored and you are responsible for your comments. Your comments should be acceptable to everyone. That includes your parents, grandparents, younger siblings, teachers, Principal, etc. Your postings should not inlcude any material that any of these people might find offensive. If you need to think twice about saying something, it is probably best to leave it out.
That being said - HAVE FUN!

Promotion in school
In Chapter 20, during his closing arguments, Atticus says, "The most ridiculous example I can think of is that the people who run public education promote the stupid and idle along with the industrious - because all men are created equal, educators will gravely tell you, the children left behind suffer terrible feelings of inferiority" (205). Do think that students should be promoted in school based on their age and grade level, regardless of how they do in school? In other words, if you fail all of your classes, should you still be promoted to the next grade, just because that is the grade that you should be in?

no u should only pass if u do ur work and earn the righ tto pass beacuse if they pass u ur gonna be dumb and not be able to get a job.
I think if you worked hard enough to pass and they fail you should still pass.
NO THEY SHOULDN'T
i don't think children should be promoted something if they don't do theur work to earn that promotion.
No they should not
i dont think childern should be promoted because if they dont do there work they dont deserve to be promoted
I think that you should only be promoted based on your effort. If you dont or cant od the work,why get to move on. it only makes things worse for you and in time for the society around you. I mean after all, you wouldn't want someone who never finished highschool to have a better job than you,would you?
