Delete your text messages.

    Do i think cops should be able to search my phone without a warrant? Absolutely not.  My phone is my personal privacy and my 4th amendment right to decline a search without a warrant.When the police as you if they can search something- whether it's your house, your car, or your phone- you always have the right to say no.) (Patricia, 15)  Of course the counter argument could be "but then you can delete anything incriminating between the cops leaving to obtain a warrant and come back!" And to that I have no argument.

      I believe that the phone of a witness or criminal of a crime cannot be searched without a warrant or permission.  If the person so happens to allow the police to gain access to the cellphone then it is their decision.  If no warrant is valid at the time of a requested search then no search should be permitted. "The court understands that digital information  is different than papers and cabinets and lockboxes. (Patricia, 17.) "Courts will not be more likely to rule in favor of greater privacy for digital records.") (Patricia, 17.)  These are quotes that state that courts are in favor of privacy of cellphones. Boom.

American Gov.T problems - Raising Pell Grant - Obaaaama

Obama raised the maximum Pell Grant to $5,500 since 2008.

What Obama is doing with this is increasing our education as Americans.  Which.. we need.  Not everybody, but you know somebody who needs to be a little more educated.  With this, college is becoming slowly more affordable for students.  It encourages students at a young age to do well in high school so you can get into a good college to get a better career.  Now having a second-post degree is a prerequisite for this generation's jobs.  All at a price to afford.  More teachers are being hired to teach more areas of learning to educate a higher percentage of our youth.  Great to help Obama's unemployment rate drop, but not necessarily the best for the youth.  As a student of this generation's youth, I can safely say I've seen some teachers with no ambition to do their job as a teacher and this severely affects how we as a generation are being taught.  Instead of increase the number of teachers, why don't we up the requirements to be a teacher? Then, I think a significant increase of intelligence will be reflected from the youth.  

"22 million K-12 students are benefiting from President Obama's historic form."
I wouldn't call it "benefiting".  I'd more or less call it "growing up in". Obama is encouraging online learning with technology.  Past generation complains that we are glued to our phone, and we don't know how to do anything without the internet or the "old fashion" style.  But can you blame us?  Look at what we are growing up with, technology is there to do it for us.  I'm not siding with any one here but it's hard make sense out of complaining that technology is ruining the way we as a country function when all we do is enforce it.  We're basically adapting to it and it won't be long till the entire world (disregarding 3rd world countries, you do you) cannot function without technology.
