Presuasive paragraph

     At San Pasqual Academy, the students are given a restriction. A restricton means you are not allowed to go outside , make phonecalls, or have any visitiors at your house. I disagree with this because I belive it is not fair for us foster kids to get (3) days restriction everytime we cuss at staff. I personally can use my valued time building my social skills, exercizing, going off campus doing fun outings with my housemates. Therefore, I belive San Pasqual Academy should not use restrictions as disciplinery action.

   Firstly,  I can improve my social skills by hanging out with new people that just moved to S.P.A. For example when I was givin a 3 day restriction for cussing at my staff I had nothing to do and it made me get into more trouble. I was opening my window trying to sneak out to go to the gym and have fun. Staying indoors caused me to have more stress and I felt more depressed.

     Secondly, I can get more exerscze if im not indoors. For example I run track and like to go run 2 miles everey day but if im on restriction im not able to stay in shape, release stress, and feel good about myself. This restriction makes me feel like a caged animal not able to have any freedom and this is antoher reason I disagree with having restriction.

    Lastly, San Pasqual Academy is isolated in the middle of nowhere. The houses are allowed to go off campu if the girls want behavior is acceptable. However there are times when the kids are having troubles in thier personal lives and take thier anger out on staff . Unfortenatly the staff would give the kid restriction for three days. This would prevent me from fun house outings and I would have to be put in another house while the other kids are out having fun.

     In closing, I disagree with San Pasquals restrictions and feel that a different consaquence should be given to the foster kids. Because the will miss out in Social skills, Exercize, and fun outings.
