My Magic Glasses

One day I was just walking along and looked down and saw these glasses lying on the ground. I picked them up and put them on. Wow! These glasses were showing me my past! I saw myself being shy of every person I met. I saw myself being afraid of the wind.
Then after a while the glasses started to show me the present. I saw myself having my ninth birthday and getting a skateboard. Then I saw myself going to Hawaii to visit my cousins. Going to Hawaii was really fun. We stayed there for about two weeks. Then the glasses showed me starting fourth grade and meeting new friends. Then they showed me walking and finding the glasses.
Then the glasses started to show me the future.
It showed me entering fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth grade. It showed me going to Mayo High School. It showed me going to a nice college.
Finally I took the glasses off and put them back down for the next person to find.

Girls and Boys Together or Not

Whether girls and boys should be separate is the debate of the week. The reason they are splitting up boys and girls is because they think girls and boys can learn better separately.
Here are some of the advantages of having all boy or all girl classes. Scholastic News says that "supporters of the change say that boys and girls learn diferently so they should be taught differently." Another advantage is that when they're together they can't concentrate and can't do their work.
A disadvantage is that sometimes the girls can help the boys or the boys can help the girls so if they're apart they won't be able to help each other and that might be a problem.
I like splitting them up and keeping them together.
