Not everyone has a chance to pick an elective?No Fair!--Surya

In today's blog post,I am going to discuss with you about an article that I read about the fact that some schools have elective services based on first come first serve, while others require students to write résumes and cover letters, and also application forms. I have to take the side of the schools which require students to write ar résume, because it is not a product to order, it is a passion to be pursued;it requires students to have an interest towards their selected elective.I agree with the résume method because this is fair to everyone.Some students may not be able to get into the classes they want,but it is a fair chance to every kid.

If the first come first serve method is used, ten it is unfair to everyone.So students may have a hard time being decisive about what elective they want to do, and some will go and apply quicker thus securing the spot for themselves but not for the other students having a hard time deciding.The writing method is better because it gives everyone a fair chance and improves writing skills.In all,I think that schools should require students to write resumes.

First come first serve? No way!- Sumant

If a student wants to be in an elective class he must really want it and show passion in that field. If their mom forced them to go in that elective they should not be in it, they do whatever their heart desires. You could tell if a student wants to be in the class just by the work he puts into the admission. What I would do is out experience in one class and  people who want it after the resumes.

I personally would want to write all these stuff if I was a student to classes I really want to be in. If you write sloppy work or don't do it, you don't deserve to be in that elective class. If I was a teacher I would want only the best and most passionate students in the field. I personally would take effort over experience any day because the student would work hard.

In my opinion, I think that they should write resumes, cover letters, and application because when they fill all these, the teacher will know if the kid has passion for that subject or not. If you just give an elective to a kid who doesn’t really care but a person who does care gets rejected, it won’t be fair. At the end the person that wants to be in one of the classes gets put to a class they dislike and they will suffer. If they write these requirements, the teacher will get to know them better an know what type of person they are. Kids at school could think electives are like tryouts for a sport. If the teacher likes what they read, the kid would get accepted. But if he/she thinks the kids writing doesn’t contain enough passion, the kid would get rejected.
To be honest, I think this is the fairest way to decide who will be going to each class because nothing can stop a kid to go to the class they want to go.I don’t think there will be any unfair divisions among students because they are old enough to understand the fact that they got rejected by a better student. Since they are middle school kids, they shouldn’t act like babies but accept that fact.
In conclusion, I think that kids should fill out these sheets before getting assigned to an elective class. I hope these ideas made you think once more made you think.

Resume' in School? Finally!

    Hey everyone. I hope you remember me from 2 weeks ago. I'm Ishan Arya and I am again posting about a new topic this week. This is a great topic that my teacher has chosen for us to respond to an argument stating if we should have to write a resume', cover letter, and application to get into an elective. I am all for this because I, again, am thinking about the future and how to get ready for it. I hope you like this post.

    Each school has a different way to get student's into electives. Some school's do the first come first serve rule. Others have the smartest people in the elective they want. I agree with my teacher that school's should have a professional way of getting kid's into elective's, resumes'. Resumes' help the teacher's know if your good or not in school and if you aren't good, you don't deserve a good, fun class. Also, resumes' are a good way to prepare students' for the future as they become adults and have to convince bosses to let them in the job. School is what prepares you for what is coming and this would perfectly fit that. Overall I think having to fill out resumes', cover letters, and applications are a great thing to do for electives.
