Why I think we need good manners in our studio.

I think we need manners in our classroom because manners keep everyone nice, you may have heard the saying if you smile at someone they'll smile back well if you use that metaphorically then in other words if you put in even just a little bit of effort in to being nice to someone they'll hopefully be nice back. Even just simply greeting someone at the door with a big "hello, how has your day been". I also think we need manners in our classroom because it gives people confidence. Let's say you were playing a sport that you yourself were really good at but there was one of your classmates struggling you could give them tips or even just say "that was a great try, but maybe next time" If we are just talking about our basic manners like please and thank you's, sorry or eating nicely. They're basic skills all you have to do is remember that if you want people to treat you well treat them well first be the bigger person. Say thank you or no thank you if someone offers or does something for you. say please if you ask someone a question or ask for something. Say sorry if you make a mistake. Another reason you should use manners is because it makes other people feel better. If you try to put others' feelings before yours it'll automatically make others around you feel better before you say something that could cause any type of problem or make someone else unhappy. If you are happy and use your manners you will make other people happy and it will make the world a better place for everyone. Yes I know there are some people that you can't make happy by just using manners but some people you can. Giving compliments is a very good way to show your manners as it makes other people happy and should make yourself feel better. Try and notice all the nice things people do for you and appreciate them or better still show your appreciation by being cheerful, helping out and doing things for others. Your manners change you to be a better version of yourself. Be honest it makes people trust you, if you tell a lie once it takes people a while for people to trust you and want to be around you. Accept your own mistakes, take the blame for them, and say sorry quickly then it's over with and in the past. Try not to make people wait for you to be on time. only say kind things. Try and see the funny side of things when they go wrong, it helps everyone realise that often people do things without thinking or without understanding what might happen. When I clean up the mess I have made it shows that I don't expect others to do it for me, that I am not lazy and that I don't think others should have to look at my mess because I didn't clean it up. When I think about others feelings before saying anything I make sure that I don't say anything rude that could offend them or make them feel bad which makes sure you protect their feelings from being hurt and makes you a good person. Always say please, It sounds less demanding and shows you will appreciate the thing you are asking them to do. It will make them want to do it more, if you don't say please it sounds bossy and not nice. When I talk quietly I am not being annoying and I am being respectful of people's peace.

It is wrong to fight - Writing astle

It is wrong to fight. Do you think it is wrong to fight? For me it's a yes fighting causes pain among other humans as well as yourselves. Over 300 people die a year from getting assaulted in Australasia (the continent that contains Australia, New Zealand and many other smaller countries). If that many people die from getting into fights every year just in one small continent, could you imagine how many innocent peoples lives would be gone in other larger countries or continents such as the United States Of America or Asia. Adults fighting is bad enough but school fighting is even worse because it sets up a chain of fighting throughout the school, therefore encourages youth to misbehave for their teachers or guardians and teaches youth that misbehaving is okay therefore they will take this behaviour to their adult years which will lead to teaching more youth to do the same and so on. Studies show that 7% of students skip school because they have felt unsafe in the environment of their classmates fighting other people inside the school premises or talking about doing it out of school grounds. If children are afraid to go to school everyday then society is going to slowly get dummer and dummer because of the lack of learning from students. Fighting can cause Homicide. Homicide is death caused by someone else in other words murder. Homicides caused from assault is the second most reported cause of death for youth, after accidents and followed by suicide. Society has changed in the past couple of years and has gained more violence than before. In 1960 - 1980 less than 5,000 people passed away from homicide but in 2000 - 2019 over 21,000 people have died worldwide. Therefore all of these points lead me to agree that it is wrong to fight.

Should kids be able to eat fruit in class when they want to?

 

We should be able to eat fruit in class at any time we choose.

I think that we should not be able to do eat fruit at anytime in class. First of all we have a really large amount of devices in our class room and most fruits contain juices, therefore the devices in our classroom would be unsafe around fruit. There could be a rule that children are not allowed to eat fruit around devices but then if children are allowed to eat fruit whenever they want they probably would not be able to learn much because they would be eating fruit all day.
