Pets in Class: A Great Idea Studies have shown that playing with animals can help calm children’s nervousness. Being less nervous improves a child’s health. Children with disabilities and health problems benefit most from being around animals. Being around animals also helps children learn better. A study by the University of California supports this idea. In the study, third graders read to a dog for 10–15 minutes once a week for 10 weeks. Their reading skills improved greatly. Bringing pets to class is definitely a great idea that will help all kids.

Pets in Class: Leave Them at Home
Many pet owners and animal lovers say that having pets in school is a good idea. They claim that pets help calm children’s nervousness. It’s true that many studies have shown this benefit of pets. But these studies ignore the fact that some students may have allergies. For these children, their health problems may get worse around animals. Also, pets such as dogs and cats may give kids bites and scratches. People who support bringing pets to school say that pets will improve kids’ reading skills. But studies only show the benefits of reading with a specially trained reading dog. That’s not the same as bringing an untrained family pet to school. Pets in school will only disturb the class and increase the teacher’s work. They will end up distracting kids and decreasing their learning.

Which line in this excerpt from the great gatsby by f. scott fitzgerald contains a simile? about half way between west egg and new york the motor-road hastily joins the railroad and runs beside it for a quarter of a mile, so as to shrink away from a certain desolate area of land. this is a valley of ashes—a fantastic farm where ashes grow like wheat into ridges and hills and grotesque gardens where ashes take the forms of houses and chimneys and rising smoke and finally, with a transcendent effort, of men who move dimly and already crumbling through the powdery air. occasionally a line of grey cars crawls along an invisible track, gives out a ghastly creak and comes to rest, and immediately the ash-grey men swarm up with leaden spades and stir up an impenetrable cloud which screens their obscure operations from your sight.
