iite.. as lots of good debaters say, lets make this a debate, and if you have an opinion, support it with good facts.

Should white-out be banned from school or not?

White-out is used for: to white-out any mistakes you made in pen instead of scratching out with pen (english classes only accept writing in pen in our school).

Reason why our shcool banned white-out: because their afraid kids might get high from white-out by smelling white-out because white-out has a terrible smell that can make u feel high.

so what you think?

Banning white-out would be completely stupid. Most English classes require that you use pen and never pencil. What if you made a mistake at the bottom of the back side of a page and didn't want it to look sloppy by crossing it out? If you didn't have access to white-out you would have to redo the entire page... A huge waste of time that could be spent on editing and revising the paper to make it sound and flow better.

In a way I understand why they would want to ban it because of the huffing issue but the kids that are going to do that would find other ways of getting it anyway and most of them are smart enough to not do it at school.
