May 21 Journal

Today I am subbing in the office. I set up the web cam, be on your best behavior. I have to say that the 6th grade class' behavior was unexceptable Monday. 8 and 7 were good. Please stay in your seats and follow directions.

Some of you still have not made three submissions on either your special day or your persuasive. Those essays need to be completed by Thursday or zeros will be issued.

Also, all red triangles must be gone in Study Island. There should not be any red triangles left on your main screen. Red triangles will effect your grade!

Presentations will finish today. Ms. Shannon has the printed essays and who is going today. Everyone must present. The lowest grade you could get would be a 70, if you are nervous, and that is way better than a zero.
  1. Is it ever okay to break a promise? Explain.
  2. the third Friday in May is National Bike to Work Day. Not all people can safely ride a bike to work or school. Explain what you would do to make riding to work or school safer.

i think that the only way that it is ok to break a promise is when it is something bad or if you have to do something thats more important then the thing you promised.

Yeah I think it would be alright to break a promise because ie might be something really important and might be something that will or is going to be jepardising to someone or even your self that is why I think it is ok to break a promise but on any other occasion I would not break a promise but if it were a life and death situation then its a different story so that is the only way I would break a promise.

The only time that it is okay to break a promise is if the person who told you is in danger or is going to harm someone else. They might say, "I'm going to bomb the school tomorrow. Promise that you won't tell anyone." That would be a good time to break the promsie that you made not to tell. But otherwise, it isn't okay to break a promise. If someone tells you a big personal secret and you promise not to tell, you shouldn't tell.

It is never O.K. to break a promise, expecially with your friends. Lets say that you promised to play Football with your friends saturday and on saturday one of your moms friends was having a wedding and you had to go to it, as long as you tell your friends the situation and tell them the next day you could play it would be O.K.

Its ok to break a promise if it is not a good promise. But if it is a promise that means something to the person then dont break it.

if i had to ride mmy bike to school some of the things i could do are wait for a crossing gard to help me get across the street.

no i do not believe that breaking a promise is ok, because the person that told you that promise is counting on you to not tell his/her secret. the only exception for telling a secret is if the thing that someone told you was harming them or someone around them then you should tell someone about it so they can get help.

I don't think it's ever okay to break a promise, but Sometimes people do it because they think there's no other choice. I know I've done it before, snd sometimes Ppeople do it for a good reason.
It's still not good to break a promise.

It is never okay to break a promise because when you break a promise you break a friendship and your trust. I have never broken a promise because I want to keep my trust and friendship.

To me it is not okay to break a promise. Thats only because if you make a promise and then someone breaks it then nobody will ever believe you when you say I Promise.

I think that breaking a promise is not the best thing to do for example they tell you a big secret and you tell somebody else and they find out that you told that somebody else they will now know not to trust.

I think it's only ok to break a promise it it's not that bad. if someone tells you something real important is when you want to keep it a secret.

It is sometimes ok to break a promise if it is for the greater good, or if you need to help someone or to protect someone. If the promie is like not eatung bagels for a week becasue you eat tehm tioo much, it would probably be ok. If it was telling a secret, it would't be a good thing to break.

I think that it is ok if you have a reason for it.

To make people safer during bike riding is they should wear a helmet, and any other gear you need to be safe.

I think kids should ride in a car because it is safer.Like if you are walking and someone is flowing you then it would not be good.You are with your partents in the car and that is safe.

I think it is very bad to break a promise. If you break a promise it shows just how untrusting you can be and that is not a good impression you would want from someone.

It would be bad if I broke a promice because I would promise to not tell and that would be bad if i said something bad.

I don't think it's ever ok to break a promise because if you promise something to someone it means that the person trusts you,and if you break it ,that means the person can't trust you no more.
