When a good tone is used the reader will get a better look at you as a person.  If a disagreement is being discussed the manner in which the writer is writing will show the amount of professionalism the write has and it will matter.  Using a good tone when filling out any type of application will also help you have a better shot at getting the job, or into the college of your choice. 

Using good tone is always good to teach children.  They love using all CAPS and trying to get their point across that way but that does not help their professionalism at all.  Students need to be aware what using a good tone looks like.  They need to know what words to not use when writing out applications or a resume.  This will help them throughout their whole life.

Everyone can see what you post whether it be a Facebook status or a Tweet, only put out things that you want other people to read.  If the wrong things get out you may be penalized and hurt over them.  If a boss sees that you are writing negative things about him or his business you could be fired and that could ultimately hurt you in the end.   

Young students need to be taught this because when you are 13 years old it is not that easy to just walk away and think about the message you really want to portray.  They will want to just live in the moment and say what they need to and it will ultimately hurt them in the end.  This is something that should be taught a lot and brought up often. 

Teaching students that size does matter when writing documents is very important.  When you are younger you always feel like you need to add fluff and make things see larger, to make yourself look smarter.  When in reality this is not what you are portraying at all.  Teaching them this technique when they are younger will be beneficial as they get older and will help them greatly when they are filling out applications.

The internet is a very powerful tool.  It needs to be used delicately and only put out the things you are ok with the world seeing.

Using correct spelling  and grammar is a direct reflection on you as a person.  When filling out your college application or a resume for a job, the person reading it is going to notice and incorrect grammar and will dock you immediately.  It is very important to read over and fix and corrections that are needed.  You will have a greater chance at succeeding in the job you want or the college you are trying to get into if you have minimal correction to be made.

This is something that every student should be taught because it is so important.  Children depend so much on the small word lingo that they forget what a real letter written to someone should look like.  I feel that some children are so into gaming and texting they do not even know how to have an intelligent conversation.  How are they going to fill out college applications. 

It is a good idea to write what you want and then read it aloud to yourself.  Maybe let a friend or a parent read it and make sure you are sending the right kind of message.

Using the wrong tone can change the whole game.  You could not be accepted to your favorite college because on your application you are sounding snotty and like a know it all, and they want their college students to b well rounded and liked by all.  Someone could not get the job they are really wanting and had their heart set on if they are rude and condescending on their resume.

It is always a good idea to really think about what you are always putting out there.  The wrong message could really hurt you.
