I believe that when kids or grown ups are tired of carrying papers up and down the stairs that we need a paper slider to take the papers up and down the stairs. My first reason is that we need a paper slider is because like if the teacher has to carry a box and a pack of paper down the stairs just to say five things, that’s wasting all that teacher’s time. My second reason is that if a teacher has to tell kids to stop yelling, and pass out lunch passes, and hold paper, one teacher cannot do all this stuff at the same time! My final reason that we should have a paper slider is that she’s trying to talk to the principal about something and her paper keeps dropping. And that’s everything about how to have a paper slider.
