"Can Money Buy You Happiness?"

Can money really buy you happiness? Well yes, and no. You go every single day wanting and needing things that must be purchased with money. For example, when you go shopping, whether it be clothes, shoes, food, or school supplies, you must pay for then with money. After you buy them, you feel good and don't have to worry about it anymore. When you buy something you really wanted like a car or a new phone, you feel really happy because you're able to have it. Money can buy you the pleasure of having things that bring you happiness. However, like most people say, money can't buy you the kind of happiness that comes out of loving one another and being kind to someone. Money can't buy your emotions. It's up to you when and why you feel a certain way. We're not only always happy because of material things, but also by things that can only be felt. You can be happy because of someone's presence or because someone was kind to you today and more. That is the kind of happiness money can't buy. 

"Should school put tracking devices in students' ID cards?"

ID cards are meant to show a person or in this case, a student's identification. If schools were to put tracking devices in them, it would be an invasion of privacy. Schools do not need to know every second of a students life, at least not necessarily. Schools do not need to monitor where and where a students goes at all times. Students should be responsible enough to take care of themselves. It would be a waste of money and technology to put such devices in a students ID card and it would be of no use.
