Should Students Be Required To Stay In School
Should students stay in school till there 18? Students should be required by law to stay in school till they are 18. Students should be required to stay in school till their 18 because if they do they will have a less chance of needing assistance by the public or going to jail, a better income, and have an overall better impact on their life. If students stay in school till they're 18 they will have a less likely chance of not needing assistance by the public or going to jail in the future.
In Radio interview “Paul Moran Talks with Missy Remiss on WSCH” Missy Remiss says “They even have a higher likelihood of ending up in jail or on public assistance.’’ If the students are not required to stay in school they will have a high chance of jail

    I disagree with Leon Botstein's essay "Let Teenagers Try Adulthood". Botstein argues that teenagers have matured much more quickly over the past few years. Therefore, he believes high school be abolished and a child's education should begin earlier in order for students to graduate around the age of sixteen rather than eighteen. High school is intended for students of a certain maturity level. But now, students are exceeding that level rapidly. Botstein sees high school as a place full of superficial, adolescent teenagers that care more about appearances, popularity, cliques and sports than education. Because they have reached a high maturity level at such a young age already, there are many students that are wasting their junior and senior years away in high school rather than starting college. I disagree with Botstein however. High school is a transition period for students to learn how to take on more responsibilities. It is the time for teenagers to become more social and independent. While I do agree with Botstein on his point of maturity levels growing faster, I don't agree that students should be graduating earlier than they currently are. Not all students are capable of the same things. Most high school students are not prepared to enter into adulthood just yet. They still need someone to guide them along a path until they've graduated. Age restrictions are applied to the youth community for a reason. The majority of teenagers are not ready to handle the responsibilities that come their way. The legal age for drinking is 21 because of safety concerns as well as the responsibility that comes with the consumption of alcohol. Fortunately for Texas, teenagers are able to obtain their drivers license at the age of sixteen, but other states, like California, have citizens wait until they are eighteen to obtain their license with the same privileges as a sixteen year old from Texas. Responsibilities are tough to handle, even for an adult. So why have the same…

    Sean Houlihan Role Model

    Attaining an education is not merely about learning how to read, write, and answer basic math questions, nor is it about getting enough of an education to find employment later in life. Instead, improving the health and wellness of society is and should always be the main concern. A student, at any age, is taught certain principles that are hopefully carried over into their adult lives. Concepts like honesty, determination, and a solid work ethic help the child through school, and incorporate into a better society after the education is…

    Year Round School Should Be Banned

    As grades go down teachers, parents and educators are wondering how to solve this problem. One answer they have come up with much research is year around school. However, the potential benefits of year-round school are very little and are outnumbered by the cons. The raising utility bill, scheduling complications and ironically no academic improvement are some of the many negative outcomes of year round school. True, year around school has a lot of benefits but with all the pros comes all the cons, and because of this year round schooling should be banned in all public schools.…

    Argumentative Essay: Should Schools End Later?

    Schools should end later. From my personal experience, I usually end school and then have hours of extra curricular activities, because I am a dancer. This limits my time that I am able to spend on homework, and causes me to stress out. Also, it forces me to go to bed later and not get enough sleep for a growing teen. If school ended earlier I would be able to finish my homework earlier and get to go to bed earlier which would enable me to then get more sleep. Finally, I would get to spend more time with family. I am always rushing home from school, right to my homework and then off to dance, and then back home for homework. I never get to talk to my family and tell them about my day.…

    Drinking Age Annotated Bibliography

    By lowering the drinking age to 18 we can stop the overuse of alcohol and prevent diseases in the later years of the young adults life. If the age is lowered to 18 the kids will not be “all over” the alcohol at the sight of it. They do this because they cannot get it themselves so they aren’t sure when they will see it again so they just get to the alcohol and start drinking as much as they can. If we lower the age to 18 then they will be able to buy the alcohol themselves so they don’t have to gulp it as soon as they see it because they know they can get it themselves. This will help to prevent the disease of alcoholism in life later on. We can also stop the act of binge drinking by lowering the drinking age to 18. Most students binge drink because they cannot be seen with alcohol in public with alcohol because they are underage. Instead they just drink a lot in a small amount of time to get drunk before the party so they don’t have to carry around the alcohol this way. If the drinking age is lowered then the student can carry around a beer in public and will not have to indulge in binge drinking. By doing this it will prevent the disease of alcohol poisoning and will also stop many deaths caused by this disease. Binge drinking by students is the number one cause of alcohol poisoning in young adult teens because of the fact that they cannot be seen with alcohol in public.…

    Let Teenagers Try Adulthood

    Most importantly, I believe children should not graduate at the age of 16. When Botstein said, “Young people should graduate at 16 rather than 18,” he was saying that we should not keep teenagers in school for two extra years when they don’t really need to be in a school that is just general education and not helping them to develop their specific talents. But, for us to do this we would have to start with the preschoolers. Teach them things that they would previously have learned as a kindergartener and so forth. The curriculum would have to speed way up to be able to teach the students everything that they need to learn before they graduate. In each class, most of the time, there is at least one kid who is slow in learning the material, so you need to have time to explain it to them. As an example, when you speed up the curriculum more kids will fall behind and when you do not understand one thing you will not understand the rest. In addition, the kids who are 16 would not be ready to graduate yet; because they have not been taught the necessary skills they need to survive in the real world. This argument of Botstein’s is based on the best kids at the best schools. For example, there are a couple of…

    Imagine someone being 17 years old with a few months left until high school graduation and on their own with the future to think about; that person was me. I decided that I was going to wait a couple of years before I went back to school and I really wish that I wouldn’t have. If I wouldn’t have waited, I would already be done with my degree and making good money. Students should attend college immediately after high school to better their education, achieve independence, and earn higher wages.…
