Work vs Student Life: (??? 1st body):
Some High School students have jobs. And some students don't. But, between school and work, I beleive (sic) that during school years, we can waive work, and Save (sic) the problem, physically and grade-wise.
(This entire first paragraph was cancelled out.)
Edit: "Health concerns may be a risk to those students who are working."
The High School students
that who have jobs, could get sick, tired or injured, and could affect their school grades. According to the Man H. S. student work survey, 42% or working students, sometimes oversleep for school. 29% of w-students' grades dropped.25% students get sick more often. 17%-36% students have a large-moderate amt. of stress. 34% students...
(second page)
...have people at work who stress them out, and 37% say that it comes from co-workers. And 41% students sleep during class.
Therefore, all support my theory. These are all factors of how working will effect [sic] a student's health.
To conclude this essay, I would reccomend [sic] that for those students who are interested in a job, to maybe only work on weekends, and wait till the summer to work on weekdays. In fact, according to the survey, if working students had a choice, to quite work or school, 73% said, work is out, school is in. To save on physical and grade-wise problems, we can waive(?) work during the school year.
Second essay:
S. O. (L? or I?) Test
Every year, the Seinor [sic]/Graduating class presents a gift for the school. The money for their gift is taken out of the Seinor [sic] fund. Usually, each gift is great for the future students, and the school. My idea for a class gift, would be to have an indoor swimming pool built in the gym area.
With the addittion [sic] of the swimming pool, it could do great things for the students, and the school, and P.E. classes. Since the students have to wait until next summer to cool off, and exercise in a pool, they could beep (keep?) those legs and vwvwvwvwvl (unintelligible, could be "arms") "seaworthy" with the pool in the gym. It would also be a great option for P.E. classes, besides basketball, jogging, and weight-lifting, the (PE) teachers could have a "wet-wild" time with the students

. And the school would have a swim-team, and compete with other "pool-filled" schools.
An indoor pool would be a great benefit for the students, school, and P.E. teachers/classes. That is why I think an indoor-swimming pool would be a great graduation gift for the school.
