WE SHOULD ALLOW PETS IN SCHOOL

I strongly believe that pets should be in school.

I think pets should be in school because they can be trained to help other people with lots of stuff. All pets are useful for lots of problems, for example, a cat can be helpful, say there was a mouse then a cat can help by chasing it out of the classroom. We could all we have a turn of bringing one pet each day.

Pets can be in school because they are cuddly and so warm and soft to cuddle with in the daytime. When you’re alone in the playground you snuggle up and play around with them. Pets can be cute, dogs can beg for stuff with big sad eyes that are so round and and cute.

Finally you need to find suitable pets to bring to school like a dog, a cat or a bird or something that we can have in school. To keep your pets safe you need to close the doors and if you have a bird you must keep it In its cage. To keep the school safe you need to not bring large animals, like if you have an elephant for a pet it would crash the whole school into bits.

Finally, I believe that pets can be in school.
