Pros And Cons Of Schools Provoking Student's License
What if your child couldn't get to school on time because they got their licence taken away?
Some think that high school students should have their licences taken away for having poor grades, and others think that schools do not have the right to do that. What do you think? The following paragraphs with explain the pros and cons of schools provoking student's licenses, and why Wyoming should not adopt this law. One con of schools taking away students drivers licenses for having bad grades is it does not address the problem directly. This law will not help students in school because you are not helping them with the problem you are just punishing them for not understanding. I do understand that there are a few students who this will help but other students will suffer from this law.

If they try to do this they can be called thieves. Their parents should be the one to not let them drive if that is what they think is best for their child. If the school can't take your car or your personal possessions they should not be able to take your license. The teachers or any part of the school board does not have the right to take students licenses.
Another con of the no pass no drive law is that students may not be able to get to school because some people can't get rides from their parents. If this law was adopted by Wyoming, college students would not get to school because they do not have their parents to drive them to school. It will be kind of a snowball effect, once you take their license then they can't get to school and their grades will continue to fall because they are

    Students aged fourteen until their eighteenth birthday cannot get or keep their driver's privilege or license unless they are in school, have successfully completed school, earned their GED certificate, or have a hardship waiver.

    The issue on the table is that California is trying to pass a ¨no pass/no drive¨ law to encourage high school students to get better grades and not drop out. I believe that this law should be passed because of the 25% drop out rates in schools in America and the proof to show that No pass/No drive laws work.…

    The second issue to think about before passing this bill is the change in the entire system of driver training requirements and the special licenses that concern young adults. For starters, if the time and requirements for earning your license are changed, there may also be changes on when you are able to obtain your permit. Most students are able to take driver's education courses at the age of fifteen to be able to earn their license. Although, if there is such a large gap in when you are able to obtain your…

    After all, most high school students are underage. This means that their parents are still their guardians, and therefore should be able to protect their child from whatever they see fit. However, many students often show more maturity than adults expect of them. The average high school student gets his or her driver's’ license at some point during his or her sophomore year. The ability to drive is an immense, and dangerous, responsibility, as countless potentially fatal mistakes can be made while driving, yet teenagers are trusted with this responsibility. Therefore, if students are trusted with driving, then they should be trusted to be able to choose what to…

    Promposals, pretty dresses, corsages, tuxedoes; those are just some things that correlate with the word prom. Not only is it a wonderful and magical night that many high school students anxiously await their entire high school careers for, but it is also a really important milestone in one’s high school experience. Due to the escalating numbers of alcohol consumption at school dances, multiple schools (one of which included Northern Secondary School) decided to take action and proposed to implement a breathalyzer policy at school proms. Personally, I do not agree with that decision; I believe that it’s an unnecessary thing to do. Though the schools that suggested this policy had good intentions, it’s still an unreasonable thing to force upon…

    Students struggle everyday with having to ride the bus, or even walking home from school. When they need to go somewhere, they need to have a parent to either drop them off or go with them to that place. Kids look forward to the day where they are 16 and free. Yet, why do we wait such a long time? Around 15 years old, students are to the point where they can drive to and from school, so why don’t we let them drive anywhere? Now, 14 is the age for a permit, and once you get that, you are free to get your school permit and license, so you shouldn’t have to wait another two years, at 16 years old, to be legal to…

    Furthermore, school officials are constantly complaining that so many of their students are constantly tardy to school. That even have a policy in our school that states that if you're late to classes more than four or five times, you have I.S.S. Now that's just plain ridiculous! Imagine that you are a student, having so much homework that you're up until 12 a.m., slaving away to get all of your work done to keep your good grades. The only negative thing about staying up is that you sometimes over sleep. And you get punished for that? It's unfair! So if these schools don't like students being tardy, why don't…

    Until the mid-1990s, all it took for most teens to get their license was reaching their 16th birthday, a written exam and a road test. Teens were free to drive anywhere, any time with anyone. Although, times have changed. Now graduated driver 's license laws appear to be saving young lives.…

    All schools in our country should enforce punishments that do not affect their students’ education. If that is not done, their students will never learn and better their education. For example, students at Jackson Public School District’s Capital City Alternative School have been disciplined by being handcuffed to a railing for minor infractions such as not wearing a belt, wearing mismatched shoelaces, or greeting their friend too loud in the hallway. This illustrates how cruel people are when there are always better practices to follow to punish a student. The school system of Mobile County, Alabama, violated the constitutional rights of students ages 13 to 18 by suspending them for 11 days or until the end of the semester for minor misbehavior such as un-tucked shirts, tardiness, or failing to carry a school ID. This illustrates how much school a student can miss because of a little mistake. Missing that much school can really affect your education and doesn’t help your future whatsoever. A 10th grader male from Hinds County School district was expelled for…

    Students who attend school but do not go to classes are considered cutting class. In some schools, cutting class may result in not being able to graduate or to receive credit for class attended, until the time lost to truancy is made up through a combination of detention, fines, or summer school. In the United States truancy regulations are generally enforced by school officials under the context of parental responsibility, new automated calling systems allow the automated notification of parents when a child is not marked present in the computer and where law enforcement officers are present, the fine for, “playing hooker” can range from $250 to as much as $500. About 12,000 students were ticketed for truancy in 2008 in Los Angeles, Many states provide for the appointment of local truancy officers who have the authority to arrest habitually truant youths and bring them to their parents or to the school they are supposed to attend. Many states also have te power to revoke a student’s driver’s license or permit. Where it exists, a school truancy officer is often a constable or sheriff, concurrently.…
