Each week, I will post questions, thoughts and links for you to read and make comments about. Each student can respond to a minimum of twice weekly. This can be counted as extra credit. Let me know if you have any questions about the current events blog. This can be done during our class time or you can work from home. As we explore many different aspects of reading, writing, and current events, I think you will enjoy reading a variety of articles.

Could gene tests tell if your kid will be a sports star?
Why should that even matter. Kids should go for the sports that they are interested in..not because some fake test says they would do great in it. Besides, I bet they haven't even tested it out yet. They are probably just trying to rob people of their money like people do now!!!
I don't like that idea because it seems like they want to get you to pay money for your kids to be in a certain sport. For all we know, these people are just picking the most expensive sport so your kid will be happy to do it. Also, if a kid wants to try a sport they should be able to go find out if they like it or not.
I don't think that a test could tell if a kid is going to grow up to be a sports star. You can try hard and practice something and become just as good.
Kids should do what they want to. Not what a test shows what they are good at. I mean if the kid likes something other than sports, the parents should not push them into doing that. Plus, what if the kid likes doing a different sport? What would the parents do?

I dont think so why does it matter any way. you make your life the best on what you are givin.
I dont think a test can tell you that cause if you like something and you practice it than you can be a Big sports stare!
I dont think a test will or could do that but then again, you never know.
That was Trey B. right there.
I think this is really retarded,you should lelt your kid be whatever it wants to be no matter if it has the genes to be a sports star!!!
I think it should matter because if you love something you should play.
i don't think that really works and what if they dont like the sport? Some parents might force their child to do it, even though they doun't want to.

i think it doesnt matter a kid wants to be what they want to be. they shouldnt need gene test to tell them their future.

I don't think a test could tell how your gonna be. You can be whatever you wanna be if you work hard.
