On a scale of 1-10, 10 being the top score, how would you rate the quality of the work environment you saw here, and why?
I think that the quality of the factory would be a 7 because it looked clean but in some areas not very safe. One of the reasons I say this is because the workers were working near dangerous machines with not very many safety hazards. But I think that it was clean and sanitized. I thought they went through alot of steps before the pants were ready like putting them through a metal detector to make shure there were no needles in the pants.
Observation-I thought that the workers needed more space to work because they were crammed in a little area.
Do they get paid a minimum salary for however long or how many things they do?
Do they give higher paying jobs to the men because I only saw women cleaning the floor and basically the crummy jobs?

Elliots Expose Blog Response
When Elliot writes about his experience with the Jock Rots and sends it out over the KidNet, he includes the following quote in his letter.
"I think people ought to realize that stuff like this goes on every day…The rest of you are all part of it-because you let it go on and maybe you think it's funny, or you think it only happens to geeky outsiders and kids who are smaller or fatter or skinnier or don't have so many friends or so much money as you. So tell me-what happens when you don't have so many friends one day, or you don't have so much money, or something bad happens to you?" (91-92)
Blog Question:
What is the message is he trying to get across to his classmates? (6pts)
Elliot is saying that if you are not part of the solution then you are part of the problem. If you stand there and let someone get beat up or picked on and you are not doing anything then it is no different then you being the bully. He also talks about how someday it might happen to you.Elliot is saying that bullying is happening to the so called "outsiders" and he is trying to say that one day you could be an outsider and you might get bullied. Then what will happen, then you will know and you would want it to stop but the more popular kids or "insiders" won't care until eventually it will happen to everyone. So that is basically what Elliot is trying to get across to the other students.
