Many people disagree over the topic of no pass/no drive rule, which says if you are doing bad in school you can’t get your driver's licence. I believe that you should be able to drive if you meet the requirements to drive a car, you shouldn’t be controlled whether you do bad in school or not. If you might not be smart in school and do bad that shouldn't stop you from getting a driver's license. You might think that oh lets make these kids work for a license plate that they should be able to earn on their own. Just cuse some kids might not be getting good grades doesn't mean you should just throw away their progress that they tried, you should acknowledge them.
One reason that the no pass/no drive law isn’t right is because some of the students might have really been trying to earn good grades so they could get a licence but didn’t make it. Also getting this kind of pressure may be hard on the students. Thinking about what might happen if they don’t do good in school could really effect them making them do even worse. “Clynt Goins, a senior at McMinn High, said that he got a warning from a school administrator that his licence

“The no pass/no drive law has at least encouraged some teeenagers to pay attention in school.”(6) Yes some people think having the no pass no/ no drive law is fair because it might help keep the kids on track and stay focused or else. There might be more than one reason some kids may be struggling in school so they get to that high goal. Maybe some kids didn’t get enough influence so the act out or are late and sometimes just don’t show up. When they have a law or rule like this it may make them feel like they can’t succeed and say why should I even try. “ getting there bodies in the building doesn’t mean they are going to learn anything.” said Russell Rumberger, the director of the california dropout research
It's a question that is coming up more and more in state legislation: Should good grades be required to get a driver's license? On the outside, it seems like a good plan. By requiring kids to do well in school in order to operate a car, it seems as though you could easily incentivize having good grades, which would make your city or state appear more appealing. Another point that comes up is the idea that students who have good grades are more responsible that those who don't, and therefore our streets will be safer because we have more 'responsible' people on the road driving. However, these points are flawed and unfair, and make it difficult for both students and law enforcement alike. However, these laws are not effective and are simply a nuisance for legislator to conceive, and for law enforcement to enforce.
If the law expects educators to enable all students to pass, but some students fails it seems like the people helping those students were poor at their job.
Parking on Campus is a Pain New students entering Concordia College are not permitted to have a car on campus. With each new freshman class entering every year, parking represents an issue. Concordia is as of now constrained in its parking on campus and since first year students are not permitted to have cars, the students are confronted with the problem of having no place to park or parking very a long way from their goal. There are parking issues everywhere throughout the campus, making backups in residence hall and other lots, bringing about students parking illegally to avoid from walking far distances, which can be very aggravating in the bitter cold. Parking nearer appears like the reasonable thing to do, however it is a hazard, which
Giving students a grade that they have not earned hinders the youth’s future educational success. A number of schools are no longer giving a grade of zero on assignments, tests, and exams completed by students. While other school districts continue to give students the grade that is adequate for the work they have done or have not completed. Giving students the grade that equals their work is designed to show students where they need to improve. Many school boards want to stop giving out zeros for work that hasn’t been turned in and give a grade that rages around the “D” area keeping children from falling behind in their classes. By allowing student to pass through the school system the educational board is raising their graduation and success
Most if not all teens look forward to several events in their life. One of those events are getting a driver's license. This small piece of plastic is their ticket to freedom. This ticket is more than just freedom to be able to drive their friends around but also freedom from the ritual of their parents having to drive them everywhere and embarrass them in public. Also this is a freedom to the parents as well they may save more on gas from not having to drive their children around. However, some teens are not as safe as they possibly could be if they were to take a few steps to promote good driving habits. This is evident in the article “Teen Driving”, as the author gives the reader teen driving statistics, as well as explanations of programs and steps that can improve teen driving.
There is a high percentage of people that spend a majority of their day sitting behind the wheel of a vehicle. Whether it is commuting to work, taking the kids to school, running errands, or simply going out to eat one may feel that their car has become a second home. With so much time spent behind the wheel, drivers become comfortable and incorporate distracting activities while trying to remain focused on the road. Our inability to put our cell phones away while driving is inexcusable. Drivers who choose to use mobile devices are endangering people’s lives and property with associated risks that are not acceptable. No one distracted driver is better than the next. Do to rising accidents
Teens should not have to wait until they earn a high school diploma to drive. When a teen graduates high school they will have to go out into the real world with no experience of driving. If they get it two years prior to graduating there is plenty of
Whether it is a text massage from love one or a bite of a sandwich, it is not so important than a human life. Distracted driving is an epidemic, so more tough laws should be implemented. The law for distracted driving should be tough just like a driving under influence. Distracting driving is a killer on the road, it should be banned because, it is the number one killer of the U.S. teenager in the road, not only the teenager in the road, but also cause a collision which is often fatal, and some incident were driver or one who involve on an accident became disable. Distraction is an involvement of driver where his or hers eye or mind are engage and performing on other things rather than driving, such as while talking on
Driving under the influence is one of the most common and dangerous situations in which anyone can be or be placed. Drinking and driving is a serious offence that can cause someone to be physically harm or even killed. Not only are you putting yourself at risk but you are also risking the lives of passengers in the car as well as any other car and occupants sharing the road with you. Many people believe that increasing fines for drunk driving offenders will play a compelling role in cutting down the occurrences of driving under the influence. However, while harsher DUI laws will look effective on paper, they will not make a significant step in the fight against drunk driving. Although there is a law enforced for drinking and driving in the
In the 1990's teens would get full licensing and all privileges with little or no testing at all. It wasn’t until 1995 when around twenty states required a learning permit, but the system was still very weak, as teens only had to keep their permit for two to three weeks. But somehow, teen drivers are not as dangerous as they are today. Experts say it is mostly because of deadly distractions in and out of the vehicle (Boulard 38). In 2003, teenagers topped the charts with ten teenagers dying each day in a motor vehicle; that's over thirty-six hundred kids dying because of weak, bendy laws that are meant to protect them....
I believe that The No Child Left Behind Act is unfair because tests shouldn’t prove students are smart or determine if they go to the next level of education. I wouldn’t want my child to go through this knowing that he/she has test anxiety or doesn’t do well on tests in general. Personally, I know that I don’t do well on tests, even If I study and go to tutoring, after I get my results back, the grade is not passing but, I know that I can improve it overtime. Also, I know other work can allow my grade to improve. I talked to my roommate about what she thinks of The No Child Left Behind Act and she stated “The No Child Left Behind Act is a part of the reason why my older brother graduated high school although his tests scores were low, he consistently showed progress in new material.” (Campbell, Hannah. Personal Interview. March 15,2018) She thinks that the No Child Left Behind Act is “beneficial to students because no matter if they don’t get it the first time, they still have room for improvement. Also, it helps brings the kids up to speed because they can get individualized help from the teachers since their parents may not be able to help them.” When I talked to my roommate it helped me understand her view on the No Child Left Behind Act and what it meant to her. I also, talked to one of my close friends and she said, “I think that students should get tested only in 5th and 8th
The government has rules for when one is driving so that has an affect on me as well as many others. Drivers are required to wear seat belts, make sure all the lights on the car are in working order and many more laws similar to those. There are also laws that a driver must follow while the car is moving. These include speed limits, stop signs and stop lights, and work zone areas. If one is to disobey these laws set by the government then one could possibly be fined with a ticket, or one could be detained and taken to prison if the crime is bad enough. No matter were one is on the road, the government is always affecting
...eir brains are underdeveloped which can cause problems to make good decisions on the road, and some may be easily distracted while using technology like cells phones. Some legislators would suggest that they should extend the driver permit and make the written test harder for teens to pass.
As expected, most if not all teens will disagree with that. But there are some safe teen drivers that are thrown into the bad teen driving category just because they are a teenager that drives. If there are some good teen drivers, then do all teens really need more drivers education? Samantha Williams is a senior at Winchester Community High School that has an answer to this question. “I do consider myself to be a safe driver. I’m always aware of my surroundings when I’m driving, and I always stay away from any distractions” (Question 1). She is intentionally aware of her surroundings and stays focused while driving. The government should not make more regulations and rules for all teen drivers when there are many teen drivers like Samantha on the roads. There are even some adults that believe not all teen drivers are bad drivers. Gregory explains, “ The teen driving issues are not about age and maturity as they are about making good choices and demonstrating exceptional behavior, whether they start that driving experience at 16, 17, or 18” (1). Many teens and parents seem to think the government has not made the best decisions recently when it comes to
“The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status, or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we all believe that we are above-average drivers.” - Dave Berry
