In schools around America, there are plenty of opportunities for creativity ranging from clubs (including debate club), to extracurricular activities, to participation of various charity events, and raising awareness for social change. There are recognition for Gifted programs, enriched classes, co-op opportunities, and students with special needs to enhance their learning abilities; everything ranging from academic opportunities to extracurricular activities. The content we learn in a classroom today are much more flexible and it is taught in a way that is understandable to most students. I believe that American schools and education boards have already done enough in terms for stretching students' boundaries, developing comprehensive learning, and integrating students into our future society. Take a look at other countries with a lack of education, take a look at a country where art classes have to be eliminated once students go to high school, take a look at a country where grades and textbook are valued greater than recreational activities. We are lucky enough to have these opportunities. Now it is left for students to explore with a creative mind. Inspiration can come from anywhere. Schools have definitely provided students with enough opportunities, the problem sometimes are the restrictions in between, but creativity will always collide together.

Some students will enjoy school, while some will enjoy less. We always have to take account into both perspectives. For me, school is a free and enjoyable environment to discover my passion and grow as a person comprehensively.

Please speak your reasons, if you can. Whomever disagrees with me.

Common core seems like a concept that can be beneficial to most students since it sets a standard learning level for all students. This is vital because all the educational material will all be understandable to most students. From that level, enriched classes such as Gifted classes can be further implemented to provide the need of students beyond the standard education level, but providing the same education opportunities and making the education material understandable to students at their age level is first and foremost. And I believe that common core will provide most students with this opportunity.

I also believe that common core will open up many new opportunities for students in the East. In China, it is always mandatory for students to have extracurricular studying classes outside of school. Every student have to have tutor sessions due to the difficult education level beyond most students' ability of comprehensions. A student's entire life and future depend on grades. And if almost everyone NEEDS to apply for tutoring sessions on materials learned in everyday classes, the education system needs modification.

At last, a student's learning is also dependant on the student 's own ability and efforts. Our learning, is at last, our responsibility that is irreplaceable by even the strongest education materials. Furthermore, even though common core provides the same content of education throughout, the differences in teachers will result in differences in education opportunities as well. Common core will bring a little benefit to both perspectives, it seems like a win-win situation. So why not?

The grading system has now become more strict with higher expectations as well in some countries of America, where the minimum mark required raised from a C to an A from the past to the present.

Yes. There are many, many scientific evidences to show that problem is indeed human-made. These anthropogenic factors are causing abnormality in the speed of earth's changing climate, causing impacts to our health, the economy and ecosystem, and will continue at an irretrievable level.

Today's choices are going to significantly affect the risk that climate change will pose for the rest of society.

This should no longer be a topic of debate but a topic for action.

Yes. Abortion is an important element of women's rights because women are more affected by the abortion debate than men, both individually (if they are considering an abortion) and as a gender.

A pregnancy to a woman is perhaps one of the most determinative aspects of her life. It disrupts her body. It disrupts her education. It disrupts her employment. And it often disrupts her entire family life.

Due to the impact on the woman, this should be a matter which is of such fundamental and basic concern to the woman involved that she should be allowed to make the choice as to whether to continue or to terminate her pregnancy.

If abortion rights are denied, then a constraint is imposed on women's freedom to act in a way that is of great importance to them, both for its own sake and for the sake of their achievement of equality.

I am arguing fully on the perspective of gender equality, and that most people would not understand unless they are the one in the situation. Please put yourself into someone else's shoes.

Giving birth is not supposed to be a women's responsibility, which sounds like it is from opposite arguments. It should be her right, and only her right.

If the disorder does not pose danger to its surroundings and others, which rarely it is. Then it would be unnecessary hence it would create a sense of stigmatization and also violate the individual's right under the sense of equality.

I must clarify that the increase of temp will not apply globally, while some areas might become warmer, others might become cooler. This is a negative feedback loop effect caused by a positive feedback loop. The problem is that anthropogenic factors are causing abnormality in the speed of earth's changing climate, causing impacts to our health, the economy and ecosystem, and will continue at an irretrievable level.

Or in the other case, sudden imagination comes before intention before one can realize it; and then pouring all ideas down revolving around such starting point.
