Dear Writers,
In writing, we learned to improve our writing by presenting counter arguments in our essays. Today, I will give you a thesis statement for which you must write a counter argument paragraph. Remember a counter argument has the following structure:
Although (thesis statement), some may argue that (counter argument). For example,(evidence for counter argument). However, (evidence for your thesis). Closing sentence restating your thesis.
Now, it is your turn. Write a counter argument paragraph for the following thesis statement:
Kids should be paid for making good grades.
I look forward to reading your responses.
Your teacher,
Mrs. Braddy
Although kids should get paid for getting good grades, some may argue that kids should not get paid for getting good grades. For example, it will make kids think they should get money when ever. Also, kids will try to cheat to get better grades. However, it could encourage them to do better in school. Another reason is that the parents will not have to buy them a house or a car. I think kids should get paid for good grades. Asher

DeleteKids should be paid for making good grades, but some may argue that they shouldn't. For example, they could have cheated to get the money. Also, they might loss the many and then there goes your money! However, they could use it to give to a person who needs it more. Furthermore, it motivate them to try harder in school!

Although kids should be paid for getting good grades, some may argue that they shouldn't for example it might make people cheat to get money. However it would motivate them to get good grades. That is why I think kids should get paid for good grades. -Bryan
ReplyDeleteAlthough kids should get money if they get good grades some may argue that kids shouldn't get money for good grades. For example it may want to make kids cheat if they get money for having good grades, and because it would make them really spoiled. However if kids got money for having good grades they would maybe try harder in school and be more serious about it. Also it would help them learn if you work hard you get money$$$. That is why I think kids should get money for being good in school.

Although, kids should get paid for good grades, some may argue that kids shouldn't get paid for getting good grades. For example, if kids got paid they would always think if they did really good things people would pay them for it. Also, kids would cheat just for the money. However, if kids knew they could get money they might work hard for it. If your parents get paid for working, then school is work, so you should get paid too!

Although kids should get paid for making good grades, some may argue that kids shouldn't get paid for good grades for example the kids might do bad things like cheat to get good grades on tests or become spoiled for getting so much money. However this might motivate kids to work harder in school and study more. therefore kids should get paid for good grades.
ReplyDeleteAlthough kids should get money from good grades like a D- but some may argue that they shouldn't. For example they might cheat or they may say "I am going to use it as collage money. However, it could be like there first job like if you study and do good on there test they would be payed. I think kids should be rewarded with money from good grades.
ReplyDeleteI think kids should be able to get money when they get a good grades.Although some might argue kids cant get payed for good grades.For example kids could not try hard at school and just not pay attention to class and cheat just to get money.However,Kids can try harder to get money because they want a good grades.That's why I think kids should get a surprise when they get home from school which would be MONEY!

DeleteI think kids should get payed for good grades. Although some may argue that they shouldn't. For example, could cheat to get good grades.

ReplyDeleteAlthough, I think we should get paid for how hard we work in school but some might argue that kids should not get paid for there hard work they have put in for school. But when parents work they get money and we don't. So that's why I think we kids should have money.

although I think that kids should be paid when they get good grades, some may argue not. they think that it will teach kids to cheat on tests and quizzes. However, I think that kids should get mula after a good grade because it encourages kids to do better in school. this is why I think that kids should be paid after a good test or quizz.
ReplyDeleteAlthough kids should get paid for good grades, some may argue that kids should not get paid for having good grades. For example,the parents already pay for the school. However,kids should get paid if they get good grades because they might try harder. Paying kids is the best thing a parent can do!!!!!!!

Although I think that kids should get paid for good grades, some may argue that its bad for the kid. For example, if a kid get a lot of money they might use so much that they forget about school and not think of there parents. Also, if they get so much money they well not care about all the important things. However, if they do not get it they might use there mom or dads money to get something. Also, id they do not have all that money they might annoy there moms and dads saying mom get me this every day because they want it so much. -george c
ReplyDeleteAlthough kids should get paid for good grades some may argue that kids shouldn't be paid for good grades.For example,they may spend it on junk.However,they could show more responsibility.Kids should get paid for good grades.Alia
ReplyDeleteIf kids got paid for getting good grades. Ithink it would be good because if they got a lot of good grade they worked hard to get it. It would be bad if they cheated and they got money for doing that. It would be good to if they got a bunch of grades and they could get what they wanted for a wile. But if they cheated from getting the draft or told a friend its like they stole money. I think kids should get money for good grades.

Although kids should be paid for good grades, some may argue that they shouldn't. For example, the child could spend all of the money. Also, the child could get greedy and ask for more, and more, and more money. To add to that, you might lose all of your money giving kids YOUR money. However, if you give your child some money they could work harder in school. Also, they could end up learning more. Children deserve their rights!

Although, I think kids should get paid for good grades in school others may argue that they shouldn't. For example others may say that giving money to kids for good grades is a bad idea because kids normally just spend it right away. However, adults do get paid at work. Also, kids put a lot of hard work and thought on everything we work on in school. I think kids should definitely get money for good grades
ReplyDeleteAlthough kids should get paid for good grades,some may argue that kids should not get paid for having good grades.For example, they should already be doing good on their grades any way. Another reason,the parents already have to pay for your education.However, kids might try harder if they know they are getting money.Paying kids is the best thing that parents can do.

ReplyDeleteAlthough kids should get paid for good grades, some may argue that kids should not get paid for getting good grades.For example, they could spend it on the wrong things or not appropriate stuff.They could also by a car and run away or get a plane ticket and then not be able to be found.However, if kids could get paid for good grades it could help them make the honor roll and get into a medical school or get a really good job.Also, if kids got paid for good grades the parent could limit prices down to $75-750 depending on how much they get paid and how much they get good grades.If I were a parent I would pay my son or daughter $100 if they get strait A's and 60 if they get all A's and one B.If they go the whole school year getting strait A's they would get $250-300 in the summer.This is how I would pay my kid.

I think that kids should be payed for getting good grades. Although some may argue that kids don't need money. Or that,"kids will just have so much money by the end of the year. However I think that kids should get money because they work hard at those good grades. Furthermore, It doesn't have to be a crazy amount of money! An F would be 0 dollars,a D for 5 cents, A C for 15 cents, A B for 50 cents, and an A for a dollar. That is my argument for why kids should be payed for good grades. -Buck
ReplyDeleteI think kids should get money for their grades(if there good.)For example they put a lot of time into it, also if they do not work to get good grades it will make them want to.Furthermore they will always try there hardest in school.That is why I think kids should get money for their good grades.
ReplyDeleteI think kids should get paid for getting good grades. Some may argue they should not because it would make them greedy,and they would only get good grades just to get paid. They should get paid because they would try their best on the test, and they would try to do a better job testing for it. This is why kids should get paid for getting good grades.

Although kids should get money for having good grades, some think that you should not.For example,kids should not get money because they all ready get good grades,so that is kind of like their present.Plus they will try to cheat to get the good grades.Kids should get money when they get good grades they because they work hard to get them,and it would be a good reward for them.Furthermore,kids will try harder if you give them money and they will be determined to get good grades.That is why you should pay kids when they get good grades.

ReplyDeleteKids should get paid for good grades. but some may argue, that kids should not get paid for good grades. For example, they could right their own. Also, they could think they deserve it everywhere. However it could teach them about how to cown't with mula.

Although kids should get paid for good grades, some may argue that kids shouldn't get money, just because they got good grades. For example, the kids might get greedy, they might cheat, they might lose most of it, and they probably might even think that money is easy to get, but it usually not. However, giving kids money for getting good grades might motivate them to work harder,it might make them pay attention more, so they know the answer, it might make kids take better notes, they might study more too, parents work really hard, so they get money, so why shouldn't kids, we learn, we work, and we try hard. Kids should get paid for working hard in school and for getting good grades.
