Pros And Cons Of Hb 7069

1382 Words6 Pages

Mention HB 7069 and strong emotions often come forward. Now that Gov. Rick Scott has signed into law HB 7069 it isn't a question of what could happen but now what will happen.
Like many public school education supporters. I have been concerned with the way HB 7069 was crafted in the weaning hours of the 2017 Florida Legislative session. Several positive improvements to public education were sprinkled into HB 7069 in between some most concerning and controversial portions. Sen. Bill Montford said following the passage and signing of HB 7069, that the future of public education lies in the balance. He went on to say, "Do the people of Florida support this bill? Do the people of Florida understand what's in this bill?" He went on to say, "If the …show more content…

It is my hope and expectation that our school board will move quickly to abolish VAM tied to any teachers or administrator's pay in Citrus County.
The new law eliminates the Algebra II End of Course (EOC) state assessment for passing high school. While many of us wanted the legislature to go further in reducing the required high stakes state assessments students must pass in order for grade and course completion, and high school graduation, this was a start. Our hope is that next session more will be done to eliminate even more state mandated state assessment tests and/or provide alternatives to state mandated high stakes tests.
High school inter local competitive sports will now count towards meeting the high school physical education requirement as marching band, dance and JORTC already had. Special thanks to Rep. Massullo for his strong effort and support in getting this into …show more content…

Recess is a good thing, but what the legislator didn't do was removed the current required structured physical active (SPA) time which caused some districts (not Citrus County) to loss free play recess time. There are just so many instructional hours each school day and now adding additional required recess time and not revoking SPA or something else in the school schedule, then something else must get reduced or worse eliminated. It is my hope that the state removes SPA next session. It should also be noted that in HB 7069 charter schools are exempt from the mandatory

Pros And Cons Of Bill C-51

294 Words | 2 Pages

Bill C-51 has been amongst the Bills that have been debated, questioned and stirred confusion for most Canadians. It was originally proposed by the Harper government only later to be adopted. In the recent Canadian elections of 2015, the liberal party expressed its concerns over the Bill and promised its people that if they come to power, the Bill will be looked upon. During their campaign the amendment of Bill C-51 was one of their major promises as they recognized the security and freedom of Canadian Rights as well as rights for the immigrants. The Bill has been controversial primarily because it is considered vague and abrupt as well as giving police forces power that may be too dangerous.

Pros And Cons Of Bill C-51

332 Words | 2 Pages

The security of Canada is an obscure term, at best, and at worst is deliberately inclusive of anything constituting political dissent. In protecting the security of Canada, Bill C-51 makes unlawful any action deemed as “interference with critical infrastructure”. Because of this addition, protesting controversial projects by blockading them would be punishable under the provisions of the act. (CBA) For example, many people protested the Kinder Morgan Pipeline by peacefully blockading sits of construction.

Pros And Cons Of Bill C-666

257 Words | 2 Pages

Bill C-666 Opposition The prohibition and ban of cigarettes as suggested in Bill C-666 will significantly inhibit the economy and ruin Canadians employed by the tobacco industry. In 2014 the Canadian tobacco industry had a market value of 16.86 billion and in 1998 employed nearly 5,000 people; to abolish such a lucrative trade is nefarious. Moreover, the health risks associated with cigarettes are not pertinent to the discussion surrounding whether cigarettes should be banned. An individual retains the right to consume harmful substances at his discretion, regardless of the detriment against him.

Pros And Cons Of Prop 63

209 Words | 1 Pages

Prop. 63 is about limiting and putting restrictions on gun and ammunition sales. I, personally, believe that Prop.63 is an outstanding idea because putting restrictions on buying firearms and bullets will provide more safety for the citizens. Currently, when people want to purchase a firearm, they must get their background checked in order to purchase a firearm. Contrarily, purchasing ammunition does not require a background check but will in January 2017. If Prop 63 passes, people who have criminal records or mental illnesses will not be able to purchase or own a gun.

Proposition 63 Pros And Cons

1643 Words | 7 Pages

Proposition 63 is another legislation in the long list of gun control. It is an attempt to control the gun which is nothing more than a tool. The tool used to fight for our freedom, sovereignty as a nation, and for some people, even their lives. The difference between a gun and another weapon is that it is an “equalizer”, in fact it is commonly referred to as the “great equalizer”. An equalizer between two people in a physical conflict, such as two men who both wield swords where in which the man who is stronger and more physically capable will always have the advantage whether or not he is more skillful or intellectually adept.

Why Shouldn T School Lunches Be Free

1015 Words | 5 Pages

It’s one thing to make the teachers pay because they have a job that they can pay for, but students don’t have a job where they get a paycheck to pay for their food. Students 6th through 12th graders in debt will no longer be fed at school. Kids are not being fed because they don’t have the money to pay for it. Students would rather get a job so they can pay for food, instead, they are forced to attend a school where they are not fed because they are poor. When parents enrolled their kids at school, they thought they were enrolling them in a safe environment where they can learn and make friends, but now that they have to pay for school lunches, they have to worry about getting bullied and having their lunch money taken away.
