And maybe they try to hide their secrets and sadness that's deep inside of them. But under all circumstances no I dont think it is right that our parents should be fined or even put in jail for our behavior because they do a lot of us. Well they keeping a roof over our heads and clothes on our body and food to eat. So yes and we need them. But if only they understood then they will know why we act the way we act. Because including me myself and i, i do be a clown in the class but still get my work done, but things do not always go right at home. SO THIS EXPLAINS MY REASON.

Are Wii Balance Boards the Future of Airport Security?

Yes Wii Balance Boards are the Future of Airport Security. The Security guards will be able to catch anyone with illegal items or any explosives. That will be much better or also they could have had a long day and just don't want to stand still.. we dont need any more tourism crashing any more buildings in jersey or anywhere else. Its cost $20 million and not many can afford that, but then its worth it and should be used in all public places and that way more people will be safer then what they is now. If i can buy that i would. And not just for the Airport security, school does need that Wii. Nowadays people at school, they bring anything inside the school and most of the students do in the passage it says something about Some sensors take the temperature profile of so get away with it. Its not fair at all. But i am going to get back into the passage. Its also says some sensors take the temperature of people's faces for signs of stress and fidgeting,and it also says says that Others track eye movement, pupil size, and blinking. Researchers specifically modified the Wii balance board to show how someone's weight shifts, and have begun studies on whether a certain level of fidgeting indicates the need for secondary sceening and last but not least the variations in human behavior and standing still could make this a moot point. And thats is why we need the Wii for the sercurity.

"I think the world would be a better place if students learned more work, and um have guidance councilor talk to them about something that hey are going through in their office at school." Write a word or phrase and explain why you chose it.

I think the presidents speech was great and to students in this school. Alot of students needed speech because not many students are dedicated to their work that they are given in school.
