Bill HB39 Poor Achievement Kicked To The Pavement! Purpose: Many students don’t have many achievements. They may not have good grades, don’t have any awards or trophies, they might not even have even one achievements. Sometimes, this is because they don’t have a support group. If every student had at least one person to support them and push them towards their goals, America would have happier, satisfied people. If students also had a better education, like teachers, their “grade goals” would be better. So, we have to hire more and better qualified teachers. Many kids fail their classes because they don’t do or don’t understand their homework. If there were homework help in each school, grades would be better! Many students also need more attention. If they received more one on one time with parents and some teachers, their goals would be achieved. All of these ways can help America’s poor achievement from children.

Mock Congress Issues

Issue 1: Driving test should be more strict for teenagers. Students should take I.Q. tests before starting driving school because teenagers cause car accidents. We I discussed this with my mom, we thought teenagers took chances with driving by texting, calling their friends and having too many people in the car. I think the I.Q. test should determine if they are "bright" enough to get a permit to drive at 15 1/2 years. If your I.Q. is low, i think you need to wait until 16 for a permit and have more education on driving.

Issue 2: People that make over $750,000 a year should have to pay higher taxes at the end of the year. Higher class people shouldn't pay the same tax as the lower class people. Richer people should pay more in taxes to help those less fortunate and the economy.

Issue 3: Gas prices are too high. Gas prices should be lower because more people would go on vacation which would help the economy. It is not fair that gas prices always seem low on Tuesdays or Thursdays and then seems to increase in price by the weekend. That would then make people want to stay home because the cost of gas would be too high to go any where on the weekend and need the gas in their cars for the work week.
