“I can’t just circle a word…it’s this incredibly
laborious thing that introduces all kinds of
loads to the task,” he said. “I can’t just grab a
pen and circle a concept and keep going. I
have to stop and change tools and change
mindsets.”
4. Disadvantages:

Unfortunately, there's no money in the new
budget for even real textbooks.
Digital textbooks would cost just $15 each, but
students would need a much more expensive
iPad to read those books.
5. Disadvantages:
Time Magazine, March 14, 2012
“We bombarded poor psychology students
with economics that they didn’t know,” she
says. Two differences emerged. First, more
repetition was required with computer
reading to impart the same information.
Second, the book readers seemed to digest
the material more fully.
6. Advantages:

"We asked them to turn off all electronics when
they came to school," Jean said. Now, “we
have a tool they can use for everything."

While some may assume it to be more
expensive to make the move to iPads, the
cost is actually less when compared to the
cost of textbooks. Each iPad costs
approximately $500 and will be assigned to
each student for their high school career.
8. Advantages:
Times Reporter, March 22, 2012
“Kids today are living in an electronic world,”
Superintendent Bob Fogler said Thursday.
“We’re trying to impose an old-fashioned,
traditional paper-and-pencil world on kids
who don’t function that way. They function
electronically.”
9. Hauser defines deliberative speech as being
concerned with expedience and
inexpedience, advantage and injury (113).
Such speeches are meant to be spoken by the
common person (not by elected officials), and
involves persuading others to take a course
of action

Imports and Exports, Framing of Laws
“Thus one who is going to give advice on
finances should know what and how
extensive are the revenues of the city”
(Aristotle 1359b)
11. “It is not only possible to get an overall view
of these matters from experience in the
affairs of one’s own city, but it is necessary
also to be willing to do research about what
has been discovered elsewhere in regard to
deliberation about these things” (Aristotle
1359b).

23. Hauser defines deliberative speech as being concerned with
expedience and inexpedience, advantage and injury (113). Such
speeches are meant to be spoken by the common person (not by
elected officials), and involves persuading others to take a course
of action. Thus, deliberative speeches were oftentimes concerned
with arguing for one’s own interests and urging others towards
the advantages or disadvantages of that interest (113).
Because deliberative speeches involve persuading social
interaction, they usually involve at least one partner to deliberate
with – unless of course one is arguing with their own internal
voice. An example of a deliberative argument Hauser gives
concerns gun control where there is a cause to resolve such
issues as the conditions of the purchase, registration and
ownership of firearms. In such deliberative action, persons
involved should discover the issues at hand, consider all points
of view, and allow others to express their opinions (19).
