This is a story jack says: we found it, so it’s ours. wow, priya! can you believe we found $100 on the sidewalk outside the school? we’re so lucky! we should definitely keep it. after all, it’s not like we took the money from someone’s pocket. we don’t know who lost it, and that person might not even know it’s gone. sure, it would be nice if we could return the cash to its owner. but it would be impossible to find that person. we can’t put up signs at school saying “found: $100.” anybody could say the money was theirs. think about it: how would we know if they were telling the truth? besides, no one will judge us if we keep the cash. plenty of people in our position would do the same thing. in fact, editors at scholastic did a survey. they asked 376 middle school students what they would do if they found $100. almost half of them said they would keep the money. are all these kids bad people? i doubt it. i have an idea. we’ll keep the money, but we won’t buy anything for ourselves. we’ll use the $100 to do some good. we could buy new volleyballs for the gym or the band pay for new uniforms. that way, we’ll use the money to the school. what do you say? priya says: keeping the cash is stealing. hey, jack: i don’t feel so lucky. i just feel bad for whoever lost $100. that’s a lot of cash! think about how the person who lost it must feel right now. what if they need the money to eat? it’s actually illegal to keep money you find on the street if it’s possible to find the owner. that’s why we need to try our hardest to figure out who dropped this cash. otherwise, we’re stealing. the survey you mention is interesting—but what if other people said they would steal video games from a store? would you think that was ok too? i wouldn’t! just because other people would do something doesn’t make it right. i think we should put up posters around the school—but the posters shouldn’t say how much money we found. that way, we can ask people how much cash they’re missing. if they can’t tell us the amount, we’ll know that they’re lying to us. smart, right? using the money to the school is a nice idea. but we have to try to find the owner first. it’s simply the honorable thing to do. use evidence from the article to support each side of this debate. write the information on the lines below. jack and priya found $100 on the ground in front of their school. should they keep it? yes! what a lucky find 1. 2. 3. no! it’s not theirs 1. 2. 3.
