  1. Good
    1.Quote choice
    2.Facts in transitions
    3.Ending
    Not good
    1.His name is Stack not Stacks
    2.Indent each transition and quote
    3.Few typos (1year, you have periods instead of commas, capitalization)

  2. Bad:
    1. Sentence 1 is a run-on
    2. I needs to be capitalized in last paragraph.
    3. And needs to be capitalize in second to last paragraph. Your main problem is typing.

    Good:
    1. Lead in covers all information and creates a hook.
    2. Lead in to quotes are good
    3. Good conclusion that provides an answer to lead

They are meeting Monday to vote. NEEDS TO BE STACK’S REQUEST. COMMA GOES INSIDE THE QUOTE AFTER LOCKS OF LOVE. CAPITALIZE STACK NOT STACKS. INSTEAD OF THEY ARE MEETING ON MONDAY TO VOTE. YOU COULD SAY: THEY VOTE MONDAY.
    ‘Had I approved Stacks request then, I would have students everyday asking if they could break the dress code,” Principal Tonya King said. “The school board would be chaos then.” HIS NAME IS STACK NOT STACKS. THE SECOND PART OF THIS QUOTE HAS AN EXTRA WORD IN IT. OMMIT THE WORD BOARD.
    The school dress code states that “male students hair must be no longer than collar length and must be of a natural color.” so King couldn’t stretch the rules for 1 student. NO QUOTES NEEDED HERE. GET RID OF SO KING…
