So heres my thesis:
Although the addition of the Michigan Merit core curriculum classes will present some positive results, both students and teachers will be ultimately effected for the worst.
I've actually learned alot about this topic since I've started researching it. When talk of the change first started last year, I thought it was only effecting the downriver area but now I found out that it's all of Michigan. Even though I can see why the State School Board would want to require more core classes, Im actually against it. I mean, I understand that the more math and science classes that kids are exposed to, the more likely they are to really get into those subjects and possibly start a career in one of those fields. But if someone has a passion for something else then that probably wont change. In my opinion, all the school board is doing is limiting kids from more career choices by cutting other classes. Here's a pretty good article about the change if anyone is interested. I actually found a really great book about the topic in our U of M library. If anyone feels up to it, let me know what you think of my thesis..or the whole topic.

I think that your thesis is great except that i feel like you need to have a city or something in it to make it a little more focused in one area; instead of the whole state. other than that, you know exactly what you are going to talk about, and what stance you will ultimately take.
I think that you have a really good thesis. It is focused and I can tell where you will be going with your paper. One suggestion for your research is getting interviews with teachers and students. This would give your paper creibility because these people are being affected first hand by the decision. I now it is a little late, so if you get time, you might want to do this.
