Writing SLO Should attending high school be optional? If high school was optional, many kids would not go at all. The reason for that is, is that children in this day in age children are lazy and don’t want to get up at 6:00 in the morning to get ready for school. The only reason some children go to school is, because it is the law to attend a school all the way up until you graduate. The other children go because, you can get a good education and then be prepared to go to college. Do you think the mixing of these two populations affect the quality of the education? In all honesty, I do believe that school should be optional, not because I do not like school or think it's ridiculous. It is because some kids never show up to school and still end up going to college, because they already have the knowledge they need. Some kids are very smart and do not need school education all the way throughout high school. Also when you go to school you want people there that have a positive attitude toward learning and their grades. It’s kinda …show more content…
Or do you think that students should be able to have a choice if they want to attend school or not? In my opinion I believe that you should not be in school if you are 20 or older. 18-19 should be the age limit you can attend, and if you flunk out you shouldn’t be able to come back if you are older than 20 years old. School is not for older people, that is what college is for. Now on the other topic of thinking about if students should be able to make their own choice to attend school or not. I think that children should have a say in if they want to go to school or not. Children should not be forced into anything they do not want to do. Some children like I said only attend school, because it is the law to go. I think the people that enjoy going to school to get a better education should be the only ones
Is it really right for high schools to be abolished from the teen’s system of education? This question has been a vital issue in the present age educational structure. According to research carried out by many educational researchers lately, it was discovered that the two-year high schooling scheme is irrelevant and obsolete in the learning structure for teen’s, and should be abolished from their system of education or scheme of learning.
Let’s look at things from a wider perspective if you will. I believe that schools should be responsible for providing and funding before and after school programs. The reason
Every single individual has once heard the words “get good grades, go to a good college and graduate, in order to get a good job and succeed in life.” However, no one can really assure that a student with a degree is going to have a better future than those who do not attend college. Lawrence B. Schlack, a retired superintendent, asserts in his article “Not Going to College is a Viable Option” that college is not the only place to go after graduating from high school. By using different kinds of persuasive techniques the author effectively supports his claim and makes the article an understandable and important tool for both parents and students who believe that college is their mandatory option after high school.
Do you believe all children should have the opportunity to go to college? Most importantly many children want to go to college in America to better themselves and to live comfortable. There are many children who are undocumented who want to attend college (Tamer). Now only 18 states allow undocumented students to go to college and only five offer financial aid (Anderson). Some people think that undocumented children should not be able to attend college because it would encourage too much immigration. In fact, immigration makes America more diverse and makes America respected and a strong independent country. Undocumented children should be allowed admission to college, be eligible for financial aid and scholarships in order to support a diverse and economically strong society.
If students do not go to college to learn, then it will actually be a waste of time and money, and they will not get anything out of their career. Pharinet also goes against what she wrote, she says, “There is no doubt that every person has the right to an education.” Then she says, “But not every person should attend college.” She says that everyone should get an education, but everyone should not attend college. Pharinet contradicts what she said.
There is a lot of controversy over whether or not parents and teachers should encourage students to go to college. Although many people think that college is not for everyone, can be expensive, and also time-consuming, I believe that it is a good idea to encourage kids to go to college so they can get a decent job, a higher education, and admirable people skills.
However, the question that does stand is if a college education is right for every high school student. From early education to secondary education, the belief that one can go anywhere from here and achieve whatever they set their minds to have been pounded into students heads. With these statements, there is always that underlying idea that these goals can only be achieved with the help of a college education, but this isn’t always the case. Counselors and teachers have been scouring the halls and classrooms in high schools encouraging the prospect of college while neglecting to offer other paths and choices that could fit a student better. Almost every person in this country can agree that school is a remarkable honor and something that is definitely not frowned upon, but the pressures to only look towards and pursue college could get in the way of what is best for a certain individual. By telling all students that they should attend college no matter the circumstances is potentially doing some of them a disservice
These kids want to be able to go outside on the playground to play. They want to read a book in school and be able to learn and get an education but mot importantly they want to come to school. They should provide pre schools all over the world for these young children to start off at. No one wants to repeat a grade or go to school and be in the seventh grade at age sixteen.
The debate on whether or not students should attend college after achieving a high school degree is one that many would like to consider two-sided; Debra Humphreys says that “going to college is clearly better than not going,” but Claire Potter mentions the opposite side, quoting an unnamed professor who says that “the vast majority of people who end up in our community college system don’t belong in college at all.” I would argue that the issue is not two-sided, and that there are more complexities to the issue than are always printed in media; to say that all college students should go to college or that all should not attempt to place a variety of different cases into a single group. Perhaps a better option is to say that college (in the traditional sense, with boarding and special liberal arts programs) should be recognized as an option for students immediately after their high school graduation, but other options, including the choice to go to vocational school or entrance straight into the workforce, should be considered.
Students should be required to get a diploma or a GED because of better job opportunities, go to college, and have a job that has higher wages. So, students that are still in high school it would be best if you stayed in school and get your high school
By increasing the school leaving age, the most probable action would be that in order for schools to cope with the influx of students aged between 16-18, new colleges would be built or sixth forms within existing secondary schools.
George F. Will’s “College President’s Plan: Abolish High School” conveys ideas that had never crossed my mind. He states, “For various reasons, some rooted in American history and others reflecting recent developments, education has become, for the moment, the most salient social concern and therefore the most potent political issue.” Will introduces Leon Botstein, who doesn’t actually option to abolish high school, just to change the structure of our schools in general. Botstein says that high school was created for 15- to 18-year-olds who were still children. In today’s society, those children are now young adults who are physiologically and psychologically more advanced.
In “Should Everyone Go to College?” Isabel Sawhill and Stephanie Owen make a strong valid point on whether or not college is for everyone. For many students ready to leave high school, wondering whether they should attend college is an issue that may lay heavy on one teenagers mind. There are a few factors that could be a difficult decision depending on a person’s goal they are working towards. Some students jump right into the workforce after high school.
Should school be year round? Well, I say yes because our young people will get done with High School faster. And if school was year round, students will not have a chance to get in a lot of trouble and they will not be able to join a gang or have time to hang on a block because they will not have a long summer break. Somebody needs to bring this problem to the school board to see if they will make the change to save many students’ lives by keeping them off the streets and keeping them in school all year long. If the children were in school longer, they will most likely turn out better, but it’s up to the people of communities to push kids through school. I believe parents need to stand up for their kids’ rights to help them have a better future by helping to make school last all year.
Schools can give responsibility to students but never without a cost. Students should have to chance to prove their worth to schools and show how responsible they can be as adults. When students go to college classes as high schoolers they sometimes tend to have more free time during those times. If a child has enough responsibility to take those classes they should have enough to leave school and be trusted to come back to school after their free time is over. Although leaving school early is not something that is smiled upon it should be because some students are ahead and can work their schedule to allow extra time because of hard work in early years.
