I think fluffy pillows should be allowed at school. For one it would make school comfy. It would also make school homey. Third it would save all our illiteracy problems.

School, through out history, has been a place of discomfort whether it be the hard plastic chairs or the hard wooden desks. If they allowed fluffy pillows we could put them on the chairs and wala comfy! Or if we had extra time for whatever we could put them on the desk and tada resting spot!

Fluffy pillows would make school a homey place and somewhere kids would want to come. Studies show home schooled kids get better test score than public school kids. Some believe this is because they are in a familiar and comfortable environment hence if we could bring fluffy pillows we’d do better on tests because we’d learn better because we would feel comfortable in our learning environment.

Fluffy pillows is a simple fix to the growing problem of illiteracy and school drop-outs. How this would save our literal nation I kids would come to school more often because there’d be pillows and a comfortable environment. It would make it easier to learn if you weren’t worrying about how much your buttock hurts because of the seat or your elbows because your resting your arms on the table. This is a simple solution do not forget this.

I must admit there is some cons to the many pros of having fluffy pillows. For example some kids would take this as an opportunity to sleep in class, others would have pillow fights or slumber parties. Although these are some pretty devastating cons not all children would do this.

What kind of person wouldn’t want to save the illiterate problem only someone who didn’t care about the future of our nation would pass up this simple fix for everyone, do you care about our nation? That’s what I thought. There are 3 pros , more comfort, school becoming a homey place, and fixing the growing illiterate problem, vs. the 3 cons , sleeping in school, pillow fights, and slumber parties, so the debate is fairly even, the pros slightly greater than the cons. These are the reasons I believe we should be allowed to have fluffy pillows in school.
