BCS

The NCAA football program uses the BCS which ranks the top teams and ranks them to see who will play for the National Championship. A computer puts all the stats of teams and ranks them by using strength of schedule, and their actual record.
            I believe that the NCAA shouldn’t use the BCS because it doesn’t allow the underdog teams to have a chance into getting to the National Championship. Boise State is always on the losing end of the deal because they have gone undefeated many times and can play in the championship because of their strength of schedule. They need to make it fair for everyone and should have a tournament for the best team in the country.

Thousands Rejected By IPS

   Over the past week the Indianapolis Public Schools have not allowed thousands of students to attend school. There is a new vaccination policy that is now in effect for the public schools. If a student has not had his or her vaccinations, or has an excuse like health problems or religion, they are not allowed to come to school until they get the medicine. The Indianapolis area has been giving free clinics and free vaccinations for the past couple of months. Even with the free meds thousands haven’t received the meds. Some say it the parents fault and some say that they don’t need the vaccinations.

I personally believe that what the school system is doing is the right thing to do. They need to help protect their students and employees from sicknesses and other health problems. Those who have not received the vaccination yet have no one to blame but themselves. The parents are to blame for the ones who haven’t received the meds yet. They need to stop being lazy and take their kids to get medicated. The meds are free there is no excuse to why they shouldn’t have gotten them. The school system should be rejecting the students until they get the rights vaccinations.
