  4. Thanks Maddy! Here's my latest improved awesome thesis statement for my engaging on my persuasive statement! please comment and criticize: Changing the channel while an innocent 10 year old without permission can be a terrible and aggravating thing since it leads to controversies with parents and imitating these bad manners that could lead to arrogance and greediness. People should start acting more considerate and not greedy.

  39. Mr.buxton, what was the advice on what to change my thesis statement. I only remember 2: Children who swear on the bus are very annoying because bad words are rude, they can effect other people and .............

    Just to recap my P1 is:
    Students should not be allowed to swear on the school bus. Children who swear on the bus are very annoying because bad words are called bad words for a reason, no one likes hearing bad words and it’s very rude.

    And my P2s are:
    Many kids on my bus swear for different reasons.
    Swearing on the bus is rude in a variety of ways.
    As I have noted above I don’t like people to swear on the bus. I think I should try to stop swearing on the bus.
    Can you help me.
