Thesis
Childhood obesity is growing fast throughout our country but it seems like nobody is taking responsibility for what is happening to his or her children. Parents are blaming it on the school system, and the schools say that they have nothing to do with this problem. While this argument has been going on for years, the schools have finally decided to change their meal plans and their physical education classes to help the youth grow and stay fit. Parents also need to realize that it is not just the schools responsibility to control what the children put into their bodies and how much exercise they are getting throughout the day.

This thesis is a little bit long (which is fine), but it is also a little bit unclear - what exactly is your argument? Is it that parents need to take responsibility, or that the schools need to do more?
ReplyDeleteOkay. Ultimately I beleive that they need to arguing about who's really at fault for children being obese. I think that schools and parents need to take responsibility and learn and change their ways on teaching their children a healthy way of living.
ReplyDeleteI like the way your thesis is going after you explained it a bit after Megan's comment.
ReplyDeleteIs your audience just going to be parents, then? or parents and school administrators?
I am going to focus on both parents and the school administration. More my focus is going to be toward the people who make up the physical education curriculum.
ReplyDeletedo you think that the government should step in? or is that not going to be part of your paper?
ReplyDeleteWhat is ur agrument exactly? like is ur opposing the parents of the obiese children?
ReplyDeleteCam, I was not going to focus on the government, but I could do some research on it to see if they are actually going to be helping.
ReplyDeleteMy argument is between the parents and school systems. They are blaming each other for their children being obese, but they both need to take responsibility. My opposition is not the obese children, its just more toward the people who keep blaming eachother and not taking responsibility for their own actions.
are you going to look at the children's responsibility too?? I realize they are children but I think if they put programs in for younger ages they could learn how to be healthy also. They cant relay on their parents forever.
ReplyDeleteWhat are you trying to argue? That parents are not taking full responsibility for their childrens actions?
ReplyDeleteYes I talk about how children can learn to be healthy from parents and schooling and how they are responsible for paying attention.
ReplyDeleteI already explained it earlier. I am arguing that parents and the school systems need to not blame eachother for children becomming obese. They both need to take responsibility and do something to change this.
ReplyDeleteDo you suggest schools offering only healthy food, contrary to letting the children choose?
ReplyDeleteI got your essay and I am quite eager to read it and im sure it will be great.
This is a very big issue. What do you think the core problem is that is causing a change in how children are eating? Do you think all the emphasis placed on childhood obesity is causing children to experience depression and self-esteem more than ever before?
