Explanation:

1. "studentes" is misspelled; the correct plural is "students".
2. "peoples" is incorrect when referring to multiple individuals; use "people".
3. "choice" should be plural "choices" as "poor" implies multiple bad - decisions.
4. "childrens" is incorrect; the plural of "child" is "children".
5. "boies" is misspelled; it should be "boys".
6. "person" should be plural "people" to match the context of "more".
