Beyond Bayside

Bayside Junior High School should offer a course in Mandarin Chinese. According to a recent BBC media report, more people speak Mandarin Chinese than any other language in the world.
it can also be one of the most difficult languages to learn. Since Mandarin Chinese courses are already offered at our city's high school, a course at our school would give us junior high students a head start in learning the language.
last year's school poll showed that more than half of the student body wanted to learn a language other than Spanish. However, Spanish is still the only foreign language offered. Jobs in popular fields such as communications are expanding not only beyond our borders but also overseas.
some Bayside students may work in these job fields one day. Personally, I would feel more equipped to succeed in a global economy if I spoke the most popular language in the world. In conclusion, a Mandarin Chinese course would help students become more effective communicators here in Bayside and beyond.

i think the answer is d.

explanation:

the intellectual community is a place like a university where people with high marks, or original thought or an outstanding interest in something gather. they take classes together. they discuss things. they argue sometimes, and not always in a friendly way. but if they argue, it is because they are passionate about something, and there is nothing the matter with that.

lately i've been hearing rumors that it is not the way it was when i went to school. the one thing all schools used to have was free speech. the 1st amendment rights were sacred. now i'm hearing they are not. students can be reported and disciplined for giving an off the wall opinion.

that is shameful.

intellectual ideas are meant to be discussed. they are meant to be chewed up and worked on. that is the primary responsibility of every intellectual community. if that is not the way it is, then that is not a school to go to.

social media, in my opinion, and this is just an opinion. i wouldn't take it too seriously, complicates everything to do with human communication. you can want to share things and others feel they have the right to be very critical or sarcastic or mean about what you share. lack of respect is an immeasurable intolerable condition and social media abounds with that sort of thing.

one of the things i really like about is how careful people are because they must have some idea that the mods are exactly what the word says they are. they police this board very well, and what is so remarkable about them is that they are no older than the average grade 12 student.

my hat goes off to them (which means i respect them quite a bit).
