Just Be Nice

I believe that just be nice is a good argumentative piece but there are also some things that make this piece confusing to the reader. I thought that the entire piece did read well and it was compelling but it confused me to what it was really trying to target. The piece starts out talking about manners in public school then quickly shifts gears into several different arguments about freedom of speech/ expression. Now while it did give several good examples, anecdotes, counterarguments, and opinion I think that it could use a better opening paragraph or thesis statement so we know what he is going to be arguing instead of having to guess what it is about.
