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.
