Stay in School, Persuasive Essay

Topics: High school, College, Middle school Pages: 3 (942 words) Published: October 25, 2008
To make good money as an adult, you must have a good job. To have a good job, you must get a good education and go to college. To go to college, you have to go to high school and elementary school. If you drop out or don’t go to school at all, you’ll go nowhere. Life today, money is everything, and I think that the foundation of getting a good job is the education you get in the first 20-25 years of your life. School does not only teach subjects like English, Math, History, or Science, but it also lets us meet new people and build good character. Stay in school, because it will help you meet new people, build good character, and will also get you to a job that you will love.

A lot of jobs in today’s society require you to talk to and meet new people. For example, if you are a teacher, you need to learn how to talk clearly to a classroom full of students. Starting at a young age of about 7 or 8 years old to talk to other pupils in your class will help you build confidence to speak up later in life. Another example would be a business networker. Business networkers have to talk to a lot of people in order to be successful in their job or jobs. Going to college is where you usually meet a lot of new people. It’s a good place to practice socializing and going up to people you don’t know and get to know them. It is still possible to this without an education, but since you do need a degree to find a good job that you enjoy, you should just go through the process of college education and at the same time, meet new people.

Building good character is important during your junior high and high school years because that’s what employers look for when hiring people. For example, if you want to look for a part time job during college, you usually have to go through an interview. A couple things that employers look for is if you are responsible and trustworthy. Aspects of responsibility that you naturally do in elementary, middle school, and high school...

  • School Uniforms Persuasive Essay

    ... Today, many schools around the world enforce uniforms, requiring students to wear specific clothing. School uniforms, which was first established in 16th century England, are a topic of much debate in the public school system of the United States. Many people feel that uniforms reduce competition among students and bring a sense of unity in school. People who are against school uniforms think that they prevent students from expressing themselves and inhibits creativity. Many students dislike school uniforms because uniforms can be viewed as a violation of their rights, while others benefit from uniforms because it relieves the stress of picking what to wear to school. Although school uniforms do have its benefits, they also limit self-expression. School uniforms are said to create a sense of equality among students. With every student wearing the same clothing, there are less indicators of wealth between what people wear, so less students are bullied for the clothes they wear. While that may be true for some, bullies don’t always make fun of their targets based on their clothing. There are many other aspects of people that are unaffected by uniforms ,which, bullies can use to bully them. It might be their hair or skin color, or the culture they’re from that causes the bullying. For example, students might get made fun of because of their...

  • School uniform persuasive essay

    ... School Uniforms: Agree or not? Uniforms are globally used at schools around the world, especially schools in Asia. In Asia, the policy of wearing uniform enforces strongly during school hours and whenever at schools. The policy is enforced because schools want to teach discipline to their students and prevent unanticipated troubles at school. The policy of school uniforms is not completely implemented in the United States, especially public schools. According to the US Department of Education, only about 23 percent private and public schools in the United States have a uniform policy (School Uniform Statistics 1). In Asia, almost all of public and private schools strictly enforce the policy. In my country, Indonesia, all of students have to wear uniforms to schools, but there is distinct different between public and private schools. Private schools usually have many types of uniforms, and most of them are fancy. Almost all of public schools in Indonesia have similar types of school uniforms.

  • Persuasive Essay: Sexual Education in Public Schools

    ...Your Name Professor Course Date The Role of Public Schools in Sexual Education Should sexual education be taught in public schools? There have been several debates over this topic. The media has sensationalized sex and desensitized our youth from the consequences that can occur from engaging in sexual activity. Gossip such as 'who had sex with who over the weekend or at the latest party’ are the current norm in high schools, middle schools, and in some cases, even elementary schools. With the rise of sexually transmitted diseases and the fact that more adolescents are becoming sexually active, sexual education is imperative and the issue needs to be properly addressed and not ignored. Adolescents not only need to make decisions regarding their sexuality but also need to be aware of the repercussions that might go along with the decisions they choose. The role of our public education system should be to implement sexual education programs that provide students with information on how to protect themselves if they choose to become sexually active but also offer students the opportunity to ask questions and get facts, without the embarrassment of talking with their own parents or peers.  Sex education in public schools should involve all aspects of protective measures regarding sex and our youth, including contraceptives as well as abstinence. No matter how abstinence is emphasized,...

  • Persuasive Essay

    ...Persuasive Essay It seems like in this generation, that students in schools aren't doing as well as the previous generations. Students seemed to be fiddling with more of technology, sports and other subjects that does not relate to academics. Where in the past generations, kids received better grades and had greater work because of the ‘easy’ educational system. Although now that more and more work is given to the students by the teachers, some of the results are not satisfactory enough. Though this may be the case, I do not believe that the superintendent should eliminate the nonacademic classes. To begin with, some nonacademic subjects supply the students with basic needs. If those basic needs are taken away, then the students will only learn the academics, which will take a chunk out of their knowledge. Just like how a human is just taught all the important tasks and none of fun activities, it wouldn't be healthy just to practice all the reading and writing. What about art and music? Academics are quite important, but some do not take the nonacademic subjects more seriously when everyone should be able to have at least the basic skills of cooking, art, health, etc. Just sitting around reading, writing, does not fulfill the needs of one’s needs. Also, it isn't very healthy, since physical education is taken out as part in the ‘nonacademic’. If physical education is taken out, then likely health would be. It is not safe to...

  • Gay marriage persuasive essay

    ...Gay Marriage in the United States The debate between whether gay marriage should be legalized or not has been a controversial topic recently. In the past twelve years, equal marriage rights have been legalized in 6 states of the U.S.. Eighteen states do not allow gay marriage and do not recognize civil unions. The other twenty six states allow civil unions, and some are debating legalizing gay marriage. Gay marriage should be legal across the United States. Not allowing gay marriage in any state is unconstitutional. If one state is to allow gay marriage, then the people that get married in that state are supposed to be legally married in all other states of the United States (Hertz). The constitution states, in article 5, that anything that a person performs in one state legally cannot be prosecuted if that person were to move to another state where it is not legal. Meaning that all of the gay marriages that take place in states where it is legal, are supposed to be legal everywhere else in the United States. Many of the arguments against gay marriage are religious, and religion and state are supposed to be separated in the United States (Waldman). The United States is supposed to be run based off of human rights and what works for the government. Many government officials try to run the government based on their religious beliefs, when the officials religious belief should not be taken into consideration on the judgement of gay marriage.
