Examining Thesis Statements Please write BOTH one positive comment and one negative comment for each thesis statement.

Thesis Statement #1 Although students enjoy using thier cell phones in school, they should be banned from the classroom because they are a distraction, they are not needed to be used.

Thesis Statement #2 Although schools may make kids wear uniforms, I think that kids shouldn’t have to wear uniforms because kids should be allowed to express themselves.

Thesis Statement #4 Although schools may think that students should be required to wear uniforms, I believe that they should not be required to wear uniform due to the fact that students can’t express themselves, students would get in trouble if their uniform is out of line, and would have to was their uniform every day.

Thesis Statement #4 Although many kids think you shouldn’t wear uniforms, I think we should because it would be easier, it would save money, and it would take a shorter time in the morning.

Thesis Statement #5 Phones shouldn’t be aloud in school. I think people who say that are wrong. Phones should be aloud because what if your parents can’t get through to the school and could call your phone, some phones have calculators and things that can help and some you could write your notes or homework in.

Thesis Statement #6 Although school make us wear uniforms to show every is the same. Cloths represent who we are cloths make our world different, and by wearing uniforms it forces us to be something we are not.

Thesis Statement #7 Although many teachers think all phones should be banned, cell phones should be allowed in the classroom because you can do research info on them. You can listen to music on them which is beneficial for most students to work productively and you can use them to call for help in case of an emergency.

Thesis Statement #8 Although students show their personality, uniqueness, and individuality through what they wear I believe students should wear uniforms because kids wouldn’t get made fun of because of what they wear, families wouldn’t have to spend money on different clothes, and the school would look nice with the kids dressing respectful.
