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.

Asap plz which sentence from this excerpt of jefferson davis’s inaugural address indicates that secession was the confederacy’s way of reclaiming its legal powers? an agricultural people, whose chief interest is the export of a commodity required in every manufacturing country, our true policy is peace, and the freest trade which our necessities will permit . . there can be but little rivalry between ours and any manufacturing or navigating community, such as the northeastern states of the american union. it must follow, therefore, that a mutual interest would invite good will and kind offices. if, however, passion or the lust of dominion should cloud the judgment or inflame the ambition of those states, we must prepare to meet the emergency and to maintain, by the final arbitrament of the sword, the position which we have assumed among the nations of the earth. we have entered upon the career of independence, and it must be inflexibly pursued. through many years of controversy with our late associates, the northern states, we have vainly endeavored to secure tranquillity, and to obtain respect for the rights to which we were entitled. as a necessity, not a choice, we have resorted to the remedy of separation; and henceforth our energies must be directed to the conduct of our own affairs, and the perpetuity of the confederacy which we have formed. if a just perception of mutual interest shall permit us peaceably to pursue our separate political career, my most earnest desire will have been fulfilled. but, if this be denied to us, and the integrity of our territory and jurisdiction be assailed, it will but remain for us, with firm resolve, to appeal to arms and invoke the blessings of providence on a just cause . .
