can yall help me with my essay? so here's my thesis, why students shouldn't use their phones in class. IT'S DUE TODAY

Explanation:

Students should not be permitted to use cell phones in school. Using cell phones during school allows students to cheat. Students will be more distracted by cell phones and pay less attention to the teacher and to the lesson. ... Some students do not use their digital devices for the good that they have, but for the bad.

Answer:

It prevents a student from the proper learning experience.

Explanation:

When students use their cell phones in class to check social media and text their friends, they distract themselves and their peers. The teacher may have to repeatedly tell students to turn off their devices, which can cause disruptions in class. It also can cause students to cheat. Cell phones and other devices are used by one-third of students in high school to cheat. A study found that 41 percent of teens thought storing notes on a cell phone to access them during an exam was a major cheating offense, while 23 percent considered it not to be cheating. Researchers from the London School of Economics found that schools that banned the use of mobile phones saw substantial improvements in test scores, with the researchers concluding that phones “can have a negative impact on productivity through distraction.” They also found that phones disproportionately affected vulnerable students. Richard Murphy, Dr. Richard Murphy is an assistant professor of economics at the University of Texas, and co-author of the study reports: “Allowing phones into schools would be the most damaging to low-achieving and low-income students, exacerbating any existing learning inequality.” Students' ability to learn will be diminished when they use phones during classes. This concludes my briefing.

Hope it helped. :)

House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros
We didn't always live on Mango Street. Before that we lived on Loomis on the third floor, and before that we lived on Keeler. Before Keeler it was Paulina, and before that I can't remember. But what I remember most is moving a lot. Each time it seemed there'd be one more of us. By the time we got to Mango Street we were six—Mama, Papa, Carlos, Kiki, my sister Nenny and me.
Chunk 1 annotation:


The house on Mango Street is ours, and we don't have to pay rent to anybody, or share the yard with the people downstairs, or be careful not to make too much noise, and there isn't a landlord banging on the ceiling with a broom. But even so, it's not the house we'd thought we'd get.
Chunk 2 annotation


We had to leave the flat on Loom is quick. The water pipes broke and the landlord wouldn't fix them because the house was too old. We had to leave fast. We were using the washroom next door and carrying water over in empty milk gallons. That's why Mama and Papa looked for a house, and that's why we moved into the house on Mango Street, far away, on the other side of town.
Chunk 3 annotation


They always told us that one day we would move into a house, a real house that would be ours forever so we wouldn't have to move each year. And our house would have running water and pipes that worked. And inside it would have real stairs, not hallway stairs, but stairs inside like the houses on TV. And we'd have a basement and at least three washrooms so when we took a bath we wouldn't have to tell everybody. Our house would be white with trees around it, a great big yard and grass growing without a fence. This was the house Papa talked about when he held a lottery ticket and this was the house Mama dreamed up in the stories she told us before we went to bed.
Chunk 4 annotation


But the house on Mango Street is not the way they told it at all. It's small and red with tight steps in front and windows so small you'd think they were holding their breath. Bricks are crumbling in places, and the front door is so swollen you have to push hard to get in. There is no front yard, only four little elms the city planted by the curb. Outback is a small garage for the car we don't own yet and a small yard that looks smaller between the two buildings on either side. There are stairs in our house, but they're ordinary hallway stairs, and the house has only one washroom. Everybody has to share a bedroom—Mama and Papa, Carlos and Kiki, me and Nenny.
Chunk 5 annotation


Once when we were living on Loomis, a nun from my school passed by and saw me playing out front.
The laundromat downstairs had been boarded up because it had been robbed two days before and the owner had painted on the wood YES WE'RE OPEN so as not to lose business.
Where do you live? she asked.
There, I said pointing up to the third floor.
You live there? There. I had to look to where she pointed—the third floor, the paint peeling, wooden bars Papa had nailed on the windows so we wouldn't fall out. You live there? The way she said it made me feel like nothing. There. I lived there. I nodded.

I knew then I had to have a house. A real house. One I could point to. But this isn't it. The house on Mango Street isn't it. For the time being, Mama says. Temporary, says Papa. But I know how those things go.

SOMEONE PLEASEEE HELPPP!!!\

Island life offers the best of all worlds. Take Lummi Island, for example, the smallest of the San Juan Islands in northwest Washington and still a well-kept secret. Though its meager population quadruples to 4,000 with the summer tourist season, it never feels the slightest bit crowded. One can always find a deserted beach to roam or a forest path to explore. The mainland is only a 12-minute ferry ride away, so city life is within reach. Bainbridge Island, near Seattle, is another prime choice for those wishing to live somewhere with peace and quiet but proximity to a city. Many Seattle employees live on the island and commute each day to their downtown jobs. Vashon Island, near Tacoma, might seem too small for some. There is no "town" to speak of, but a quiet little artists' community thrives there.
Family homes on the islands mentioned above are no more expensive than on the mainland. Such houses offer stellar views of surrounding landscape, including mountains, waterways, and other scenic islands. Otter, bald eagles, seals, and even whales are frequent visitors to Pacific coastal islands. They are a nature lover's paradise and also offer perfect settings for stargazers and photographers. Quite a few island inhabitants were once tourists who found they couldn't bear to leave and made the island their home.
If there are drawbacks, they are only these: there is usually a minimum of culture in terms of theater or music events. But all that means is an excursion into town now and then to get your fix. The same is true if you want a wide variety of food or like to eat in restaurants. The only other minor drawback is the ferry schedule, which can be sporadic. There are also periods of time each year when ferries are in "dry dock" and not running due to planned or unplanned repairs. Still, for those wanting to escape the noise and stress of city life, islands are a perfect choice. They are among the nation's few remaining unspoiled places to call home.

Which description best describes Customization of General-Purpose software?​

Read the excerpt from "Tools of the Spymaster. " General Clinton, concerned about what General Howe was planning and doing, made use of a mask to write a secret message in a letter to General Burgoyne. Before writing the letter, Clinton had placed an hourglass-shaped mask on a piece of paper and then had formed the secret message within that shape. The unmasked letter had enough false information in it to fool any American who happened to see it. But when Burgoyne viewed the letter with the mask, he read Clinton's view of the real situation: Howe has made a bad move; I don't have enough men to do anything about it. Which statement best expresses the central idea of the excerpt? Generals were able to send secret messages to each other using a mask. General Howe failed to help the other generals defeat the Americans. The British were better at using codes than the Americans. False information in a letter could cause problems for the Americans.
