This is a pretty good piece. I'd say that this is my second best piece on here. A lot of it is good but some of it is bad. It is a really good piece. It applies to my theme because there are ups and downs to this piece also.

Virginia Beach Writing Assessment  The issue of seat belts is a big conflict on whether seat belts should be on school buses or not. I believe that seat belts on school buses would not be a good idea. First of all, it would be really expensive and send taxes upward. It would also be dangerous for little kids. Lastly, seat belts in school buses would cause there to not be enough room on the bus. While seat belts on school buses would make it safer, there would still be a lot of other problems with it. The first reason seat belts on school is a bad idea, is because it would be very expensive and send the taxes up. To recall all those school buses and install seat belts into all of them would cost the economy a lot of money. For example, say they recalled one hundred school buses and installed seat belts into them all, the cost o this would easily be over fifty thousand dollars and taxes would go up at least five thousand dollars. That is an awful lot of money. The economy problem is already bad as it is right now and adding seat belts to school buses would just add to that. Another reason it is a bad idea is the danger that is has for little kids. Say that a school bus got into a wreck, the little kids would be small and the seat belt would probably trap them in and they wouldn’t be able to get out. Little kids are more prone to injury in wrecks than someone older who can take a bigger hit. Little kids also would have more of a chance to bounce around since they are smaller and the seat belts are going to be a little loose on them. One last reason that seat belts on school buses are a bad idea is because there wouldn’t be enough room in the buses. Most school buses have somewhere between twenty and forty students on them. If you were to add seat belts on the school buses, there wouldn’t be enough room on them to sit. The seats would barely be able to hold two students in each. There not being enough room is probably one of the main reasons why there are no seat belts on school buses. There are the reasons why I believe that there shouldn’t be seat belts on school buses. This issue of seat belts is one of the biggest issues in the country. My reasons again are it would be very expensive. Another is that it would be dangerous for little kids. Lastly, there wouldn’t be enough room on the school buses. This issue will not end for a while. Everybody has different opinions of this topic. Tax payers, adults, and kids all have separate opinions.
