Klaus: Closing our neighborhood’s school will mean a major hassle for neighborhood families. Students will have to travel farther to and from school, which means they’ll have less time for homework. That will likely affect them academically. Additionally, a vacant school building in our neighborhood is sure to attract crime and drag down home values.
Rena: Our neighborhood’s school never had a great reputation anyway. Closing it means students will get to go to a larger school—with a better reputation—just a few kilometers away, where they’ll have more opportunities to participate in extracurricular activities. That should make homes here more valuable to potential buyers. And the vacant school building could be converted into a much-needed community center.
Select Klaus for the phrase that best describes a factor that is specifically addressed by Klaus but not by Rena, and select Rena for the phrase that best describes a factor that is specifically addressed by Rena but not by Klaus. Make only two selections, one in each column.
