Mock Congress

[Carp]

This week in class, you will be playing a role as either a lobbyist, a representative, or a senator. For this week's post, post your thoughts on what you are experiencing during the simulation.

[Daryl Wallace]

this week I fully understand the process of passing bills

[mackenzie rodkey]

I got to go through the whole Process of making a bill and trying to get it passed.

[Haley Mueller]

I went through the process of making a bill (not the long, dwelling process, but close enough).

[Mikaela Crespo]

During this week in class, i've learned that the whole process, of making a bill and trying to process it isnt as easy as i thought. But i'm understanding alot more on how everything works.

[Troy Oliver]

So far, I've learned the general process of making bills and passing them, and that making and reviewing bills is not as easy as it first sounds, even though ours are far shorter and less exact than official bills.

[Jenna Huntley]

I have learned how to go through the process of trying to get a bill passed. 

[k.yang7210]

Its pretty much alot of debating and difficulty just to get bills passed on.

[Skye Chapman]

I like this experience. I feel like it is a good experience on what it is like to disgree with others and how difficult it is to get bills passed. I feel like some people are making it harder than it is which is frustrating most of us but we have to realize how hard it actually is.

[Skye Chapman]

I agree with Mickayla. I feel like i thought this was going to be alot easier.

[Skye Chapman]

[Sydney Lee]

This week I've learned how to pass a bill. I also learned that it is not easy, and a lot of people will bump heads throughout the process.

[Jenna Huntley]

I agree with Sydney. There is a lot of debating and bumping heads in this process.

[jessica jacobs]

It has helped me realize how the process of bills being made and how they have to be approved.

[Tyler Finley]

I feel as if it has helped make me/us how hard it is to make a bill go through the full process.

[jessica jacobs]

I totally agree with Sydney and Jenna. There is a lot of bumping head ect

[mackenzie rodkey]

Yess.. I agree with you. However everyone is Titled to their own opinion some people agree with the bill some people disagree.

[k.yang7210]

I completely agree with Mackenzie everyone is gonna favorite their own input and thats exactly why its perfect to know people arent the same because you then know the division between different thinkers.

[luwayne harris]

I actually enjoyed this week acting as a Senator of the school. Even though our Bills may not be put into action it was fun approving and rejecting them.

[Haley Mueller]

I agree with Kayla, it can be very difficult.

[Daryl Wallace]

I agree they're a lot disagreements causing bills not to get passed

[Sydney Lee]

I agree with Mikaela it's not as easy as I thought it would be. It didn't get easier throughout the week though.

[Autumn Flynn]

I feel like I understand the whole bill process a lot more than I did previous to the past week.

[Autumn Flynn]

I agree with Skye because I also feel like it's a lot harder than I though it was going to be.

[Autumn Flynn]

I agree with Tyler also, because it is hard to have everyone agree or have a majority agreement.

[Andrew Jimenez]

I really enjoyed this weeks experience, it was not only fun but it also gave us an opportunity to pass a bill at our school that would affect us directly.

[Andrew Jimenez]

I agree with Troy a bill is not that easy to pass. We had many attitudes, conflicts and differences in the conference center of clintondale high school, i could only imagine how hard it really is to pass a bill.

[luwayne harris]

Sydney is right it is hard to to pass a bill, people can find something wrong with your bill that you hadn't seen before.

[Rontay Welton]

I agree. There is almost always one person who doesnt like something with any given bill, which can make it that much harder for that bill to get passed.

[Tyler Finley]

I agree with Mikaela the process of passing a bill is a lot harder and also longer than you would think. and like Troy said our bills are a lot shorter and less exact then official bills.
