Why waste tax money on seat belts for buses, when we could use it for other things. If we put seat belts on buses, we would not have buses for a few days. People would have to pay more taxes and raise the prices of items. Some buses will have more than two people to a seat; therefore the seat belts would never be used and would be a waste of money. We don’t need seat belts for buses because we are always safe with a good driver. More than 80% of the students ride a bus to school. If we put seat belts on buses, we would have to take the buses in shops. The students would have no way to get to school and the parents of the students would ask why the buses are not coming. School would have to close down for a few days until the buses get out of shop. The school would have a lot of problems on their hands, plus the parents would waste money on a babysitter if their child is young. The tax would go up so that all the buses in the United States could get seat belts. The money that goes into the buses could have gone to scientist so they could cure diseases. More people will be mad at the government for raising the taxes. There would be a lot of debate going on in the government. People would be protesting in the streets to lower the tax. There won’t be enough seat belts for the students if there had to be three to a seat. If we did have seat belts on the buses, the third kid in the seat wouldn’t have a seat belt, so why have them if one kid can’t wear it. Students always like to set three in a seat so they could talk to their friends. They wouldn’t wear them because it would be uncomfortable for that third kid. I think there doesn’t need to be seat belts. It will just cause chaos to the schools, so why should we even get seat belts. Students wouldn’t care because they like to move in the seats and change from one seat to another. I am against the idea of putting seat belts on school buses. I think it is just a waste of money and waste of school time.

Reflection: The Virginia Beach writing assessment is related to a soccer game. People yell at other people to get seat belts on a bus. Just like fans at a soccer game yell at the opposing team fans. People express themselves to show what they are talking about. The judge to pass the law for having seat belts on buses is like the soccer referee. They both control the people and tell them what is going to happen.
