EXPRESS YOUR ASSERTION
In the recent documentary, several young athletes share their
experiences of balancing sports, academics, and personal lives. Many
express feelings of pressure to excel in all areas, leading to stress and
burnout. Some athletes discuss the lack of support from coaches and
parents, which makes it even harder to manage their responsibilities.
In response to growing concerns about student well-being, several local
schools have implemented a new mental health initiative aimed at
providing better support for students. The program includes increased
access to counselors, workshops on stress management, and peer
support groups. School officials report that mental health issues among
students have been on the rise, and they hope this initiative will create a
more supportive environment. Parents and teachers are encouraged to
participate in training sessions to better understand and address these
challenges.

YOUR TURN
As schools increasingly integrate technology into the classroom, educators and
parents are divided on its effects. Proponents argue that digital tools enhance learning
by providing access to vast resources and enabling personalized education. Students
can engage in interactive lessons and collaborate with peers across the globe.
However, critics raise concerns about screen time and its potential negative impact on
attention spans and social skills. They advocate for a balanced approach that
combines traditional teaching methods with technology, ensuring that students
develop critical thinking and interpersonal skills. As this debate continues, schools
must navigate the challenges and benefits of technology in education.

declarative sentence that
claims something is true
about something else.
It is a sentence that is either

true or false.
