Intro to paper 4

The problem is that costs of attending college are very pricey. We spend at least two thousand dollars a semester to attend college. And the prices of food are ridiculous. Not only is it ridiculous,  but it is a problem. The problem is that we spend too much money in the cafeteria. Most people would rather spend less money, so they spend money on fast food, which isn't healthy in the long run. We also spend at least two hundred dollars on parking permits because we like to be closer to the school when leaving to go home.The students are affected deeply by this problem.  About the food problem, it is unhealthy to eat fast food so much because we can't afford the cafeteria food if we're not on the meal plan. Students may quit attending some classes because they don't feel like leaving for school early to park on cajun fields, and can't afford to pay two hundred dollars for a parking permit.My solution is that we hold special fundraisers to raise money for these things. Another one of my proposals is that we use food from the agricultural department to make our food cheaper and healthier.

A Week in the Life of A Part Time Teacher

1.)I think that the reason why he acted this way is because he was having the same kind of problems that Claitor was having as well.
a. I think that they should have all gotten together and made arrangements that would have worked with their schedules. Some of the students at this college had children, and have schedules outside of school. It would have been easier on them if they would have just worked with their schedules. There should have been more options for people like parents who needs the extra help.
B. I think one thing that they could have proposed were day cares for the parents of these children. There are some parents who have no families who are able to take care of their children while they are away at school. Yes, it is expensive, but in the long run isn't it better to have an education, rather than dropping out of school? It may be time consuming and expensive, but I think it would have been worth it. The chances of this happening are slim to none, but I think that it would have been a good idea. Afterall, there are many schools around Louisiana that have day cares and family housing.
2.) It affects them very much. Her students seem to really look forward to taking her classes and they seem upset whenever she tells them that she will not be teaching that class. In one of the paragraphs, it even says that she told one her students that they didn't offer her enough classes, so he wouldn't feel discouraged and not confident.
3.)a. Maybe they would suggest day care. And the chances of this happening would probably be slim to none, because of the cost that this would put in the school's budget. Many schools can't afford day care at all.
b. Another thing that they might suggest are online classes. This might be a good possibility of happening because online classes are offered at most colleges and are usually not that expensive. They are also included in most school's tuition fees.
4.) There seems to be a big money issue.
An apposing argument could be that there are ways to budget out a school.
5.) The teachers deserve to get paid more for what they do.
The students deserve to have a schedule that they are able to work with that way they can still attend school and take care of their families.

Claim- My claim is that earning a baccalaureate degree does not make someone intelligent.
Reason- There are so many more aspects of intelligence. Intelligence isn't just about knowledge; it's also about experience, things that make us grow in our knowledge. A person will need experience, knowledge, and growth within themselves to truly have intelligence. Common intelligence is also important because without it, we wouldn't be intelligent in every aspect.
Warrant- In order to be intelligent, you also need to possess many more qualities such as street smart, common sense, and book sense.
