I beleive the government is just bored and doesnt know what to do to them selves other than....you kno what i mean....and also if they are making this a big deal why are they concentrating in issues like these when there are way more important ones to correct. First of all the look of a person doesnt say anything of who he is or what he does, just like the problem with tattoos. The government will not do antything good if this is done. Not only blacks, whites, and now hispanics use that style these days. Its just a style!!!! Just like these old farts had there style with there pants up to there somach back in the days, we are just customizing our decade....Its part of the fashion revolution thats going on. Like we talked about in the other blogs about how celebrities are those that inspire us to dress. Its incredible how they can make something so big. I understand if they dont allow people using there pants like that in a certain places, but out in the public nobody should care. Its never gonna stop...thats all im sayin!!!

First, I want to say that these requirements or standarized tests are not given in PR, so i did not know none of these issues until now. Being my high school inside a military base, i did take standarized tests, but still not those that florida is requiring. Also, I dont agree either with the act because its true what they say about how kids that are being passed when they really shouldnt be passed. This what brings is problems with kids in the streets and to society itself. Like, the dood in the first video said, kids take their passing grades to there parents knowing that they really didnt accomplish anything. Therefore, this does not give them any potential to try hard and actually acheive something because no child will be left behind. Furthermore, they will drop school because its worthless, and make their way of life happen in the streets. This could be a definate reason why there is so many students within that drug environment. On the other hand, if they were forced to study and pass classes due to effort and grades, they are psychologically working for something, therefore thinking about goals in life they can complete. So there are some advantages, disadvantages, misconceptions, and misunderstandings with this act that tthe government must understand and take a look at it and analyze the situation.
