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...

  • Persuasive Essay: Should School Stay The Same?

    ... For this debate I am debating why school time should stay the same. J.C.M.S middle school in Sierra Vista has a delayed start time of 9:00 a.m., and finish school at 4:00 p.m. This affects the children who are involved if afternoon sports, most time not getting out until 6:00 p.m sometimes later. If you have homework that same night after spending two hours doing a sport you might procrastinate and not do your homework at all or you will be tired and end up making mistakes that should not have been made. An earlier start time ensures an earlier release time letting sports start earlier and homework being done at an earlier time while not as exhausted from the day. On the website sleepfoundation.org they did a research which stated, "The delay in release time for students also means that students with after-school jobs may be affected. This issue is important for certain students and their families who rely on the extra income to get by. Therefore, the change may disproportionately affect low income families." For low income families they might not be able to pay the bills if their child doesn't work with school, work, and homework it is hard to be able to get the recommended amount of sleep and do everything else that busy high school students have to face. In an article on the website parentingteens.about.com it states "Delaying the start time of high schools...

  • Persuasive Essay On School Uniform

    ...School Uniforms Are a Must School uniforms should be mandated in all public and private schools across the United States, because it would save families money, cut down violence, and get students ready for real life work situations.Today in America, students are allowed to wear whatever they please as long as it is school appropriate.Students tend to stretch what is considered school appropriate by wearing clothing that has underlying meanings and clothing that reveals more of the human body than it should. Today’s students have too much ability to choose their clothing for school, resulting in inappropriate clothing being worn on school campuses. Letting the students where whatever suits the wants of the students results in gang-affiliated clothing being worn and competition over clothing arising. Students tend to wear clothing such as shorts, dresses, loose-fitting pants, and variations of colors that makes no one match with another student. The student bodies of schools look much more unified when students are wearing the same uniforms that are formal and give a professional appearance. This would result in student bodies of people who are more respected and look better as a unit, instead of looking like a bunch of wandering students who do not function together within the schools. School uniforms would save the families of the...

  • Persuasive Essay On Summer School

    ...there be all day summer school July and August? The last school bell rings, and it signifies that it is summer time. The principal looks at the students’ average mark; he was not impressed by the grades students received. So the principal decides to operate a summer school for students during the summer time so that they can review what they have learned during the year. That’s not a smart idea; since it’s important that students learn about survival skills and etc. through outdoor learning, it cost too much school budget and it waste lots of time. Outdoor learning experiences are important too, such as survival skills. In our classes during the school year we don’t learn things regarding survival skills, so the student should go camping and learn things such as that. When the student graduates from a university or college and he/she does not know the majority of the survival skills what will happen? Once some harmful situations or disasters appear, he/she can’t handle it. Survival skills are a part of education, but a different kind why not just let the child have both kinds of education? Operating a summer school cost too much of school’s year-round budget, during summer time the school turn on air conditioner and hire teachers. The district school board will support operating a summer school, but it may not be enough. There will be...

  • Persuasive Essay On Middle School

    ...According to a study conducted by EducationNext, “moving to middle school leads to a substantial drop in student test scores in the first year of the transition, and the relative achievement of middle-school students continues to decline in the subsequent years they spend in such schools.” One aspect of the educational system that I think can be vastly improved is middle school. Although middle schoolers are faced with numerous challenges, the middle school curriculum does not allow students to explore their interests and more importantly, doesn't challenge students enough. In middle school, there is not a lot of advanced coursework that students can complete. This is why I believe that middle school students should have the opportunity to take a more strenuous curriculum by allowing them to take high school classes, as this system will give students the curriculum that they need to succeed and it will give them an abundance of time to explore their interests. Every student is different in their educational needs and some students need to be challenged more often than others. This is why having high school class options is the optimal setup for middle school. Personally, I was able to take high school math and science courses during middle school because my academic team coach recommended me to take them. I...

  • Persuasive Essay On School Uniforms

    ...School Uniforms Many public schools are now going to some form of dress code or school uniform for its student’s body. Take a stand for or against a dress code or uniforms. I’m for school uniforms for it’s a great idea for schools to implement a policy on school uniforms because statistics show that students who wear uniforms make better grades, then the students aren’t distracted on what others are or aren’t wearing. Students would feel a sense of equality with one another as they are wearing the same thing and when students are at one with one another their confidence soar, which leads to doing better at school. The statistics show that student who wear uniforms make better grades and test scores. The students are not focus on what someone else is wearing because they are dressed a like in some kind of form. If the student is focus on the school work instead of if someone is dressed like them or how they are dressed. You don’t have to worry about the low-income kids being teased or standing out because they can’t afford the new styles of clothes or shoes. The more the child is distracted then the low there test score or attendance will be. The distraction can also cause violence and because if some doesn’t like what another person has on then it can hurt that person feeling and cause and argument or fight then that person is kicked out of school...

  • Persuasive Essay On Prayer In Schools

    ... In many schools prayer is not allowed anymore. I personally disagree with this. I understand that some students and teachers do not believe in the power of prayer, but on the other hand there are those who do. Why is prayer being took out of schools because of those who do not agree with it? What about those who do? Prayer should be allowed in schools and for those who don’t agree with it can simply ignore it. We the people have the right to pray. Praying is something we as Christians believe in. No matter what religion you may believe in we come together by prayer. I understand there are those who don’t believe in God therefore they don’t pray. When in a school among several Christians wanting to pray you simply do not have to follow. You can ask to walk into the hall while prayer is going on. Do not punish the others for what they believe in. Prayer can’t be stopped in schools because of a select few students. In my graduating class of high school out of thirty students we had one nonbeliever. She often referred to herself as an “atheist” without in care in the world. When prayer (a moment of silence) went on in the mornings on select days such as 9/11, she would not participate. It was no big deal to her. In her eyes she was normal and we as Christians were judged. We all know right from wrong. There is a book that tells us everything that is going in the...

  • Persuasive Essay On School Shootings

    ... School shootings have been in an uproar in the past couple decades; and there have been times they have tried to slow the occurrences of them by. Stricter gun control,upgraded security, and training teachers, and students in situations of shootings happening. The training could be beneficial and enhance their ability under stressful situations. The problem is that gun control is not the problem, and teachers having guns is controversial. But the more and more shootings that happen in schools. The quicker we need to put a stop to all of it. A little background on book, and sources. It’s about a school shooting that was really televised. Two boys Eric Harris, and Dylan Klebold shot up a school in Colorado on April 20 1999. The school was in the town of Littletown. The boys killed 13 people 12 students 1 teacher. Then when police entered the high school they commited suicide so they didn’t have to face justice. This shooting paved the way for upgraded security, and other safety precautions. The police said that this shooting could have been prevented if they would have seen the events leading up to the day. The boys made home videos basically implying they were going to inflict harm on people over the course of a year. Sources have said that Eric and Dylan were bullied at school either by being called names, or pushed into lockers, they were the...

  • Persuasive Essay On Sexism In Schools

    ...Shocking School Sexism School uniforms have been a popular debate for years. Should we have them, should we not? Recently the school uniform rules have been changed and I find them simply outrageous, also most of these rules focus on girls; Skirts. Girls have been made to wear their skirts knee length. Why is this the case when most, if not all, girls hate wearing long skirts? The answer is boys. Us girls have to wear longer skirts to make sure they do not get distracted. We have to cover more of ourselves to keep their hormones in control. Disgraceful! A girl guiding survey found that 70% of girls aged 13-21 have experienced sexual harassment at school or college, the majority of this harassment is caused by males, therefore schools need to be teaching boys how to control their hormones and stop teaching girls that they are simply a distraction to boys. Many teachers argue that it looks smarter to have longer skirts. I completely disagree. Longer, ludicrous, leg-restricting skirts look silly and are extremely unbearable. Nobody feels comfortable wearing them, they almost definitely restrict movement and are terribly hard to walk upstairs in. Ultimately we should just let girls wear whatever type of skirt they want and leering boys need to be taught that girls are not sexual objects. If girls do happen to wear the “wrong” skirt some schools send them home causing them to miss vital lessons...
