There was a poll taken on the internet that anybody could take about students being able to carry backpacks in between classes and in classes. 10% of the people said we shouldn’t be able have backpacks in class, but the other 90% said we should definitely have backpacks. On the same site there was a argumenting section below it where people can argue why are why not. Most of the people that said no we shouldn’t have backpacks had a big concern with back and spine health and structure. Now that is true, but there are more pros than cons that have to relate to backpacks. Students wouldn’t have to go to their lockers or even use their lockers at all, backpacks don’t break as easy as binders do, students will be prepared for class by always carrying …show more content…
The largest binder in the world is 5 feet tall, 4 feet wide, and that still probably couldn’t hold all that stuff. Plus binders break really easily due to its laziness in design. A binder is 2 boards made from easily breakable wood pulp, surrounded by easily rippable vinyl, and the rings are just pushed in with some big pins. That doesn’t include it being thrown around, having big books on it, and carrying it around for 180 days. There are other solutions to this though, there are the giant binders with pockets and a strap. If it already has a strap why don't we just have backpacks instead. The binders are about the same thing just smaller, heavier and take up about the same amount of space. So shouldn’t those be considered a backpack as well?
On the other hand backpacks can be a small to serious issue. Schools mostly focus on how backpacks are a fire hazard, and that’s a very serious; very true argument. Bonneville high school students are allowed to carry backpacks around, and their school is even bigger in every aspect. The other not as serious issue is that the halls would be crowded and not as easy to move in, but not everyone wants to use a backpack because they can still use their
Many politicians and public figures had shared their opinions about the campus carry law, William H. McRaven a for Navy SEAL, and former commander of the United States Special operations forces who raided and directed the killing of Osama bin Laden, and the chancellor of the University of Texas opposed to having weapons on campus. A man who has many guns and has a love for many guns, says that it will not make campuses any safer than they are now. McRaven also was a public figure that joined with the interest groups and stated why he thought the weapons on campus would not be a good idea. Texas senator Brian Birdwell, who is a republican, the bill’s chief architect, and a retired Army Lieutenant agrees with the campus carry on law. Many universities
Sometimes students question themselves if college is really worth it? That question has many answers that only a student can answer and decide for him or herself. For some students college can have a positive, life-long outcome. However, there are many obstacles when it comes to college. A student has to be very dedicated in school, and they have to know how to manage their personal life, school and work. College seems like it has more negative effects than it does positive for some people. For the following reasons college is not worth the cost because it is very difficult to find jobs after graduating or they find a job that is not in their field, some students who are not academically prepared wind up dropping out of school and wasting their money and some students struggle to balance school life, personal life and work life. As a result these students end up dropping out of school.
Thousands of dollars for college tuition; thousands of dollars for textbooks and materials, the cost just keeps building up! Students going through high school right now do not have the experience of having to actually pay for school. Often enough, colleges and universities require students to pay hefty prices to attend their schools and leads the hole in our pockets to become deeper and deeper. To change this problem, public colleges and universities should not require tuitions and school materials to be fiscal problems for students. With this, students would not worry about not going to college just because they could not afford it.
As I started to advance into my high school education, I noticed that my attitude about school and grades was not going to get me anywhere. I went to school and goofed off with my friends and did enough work to get a decent 70 on my work and go home. I had no “active responsibility”, as Freire would say, because I didn’t have anything to motivate me to want to do well. It all changed when I started high school at Bear Grass Charter School. Bear Grass had just reopened as a charter school my freshman year. I was a new beginning for me because not only was I starting out at a new school, but I started to realize that I needed to improve my self-effort in my classes. I knew that I wanted to be a nurse when I graduated and I
“Since 2013, there have been over 200 school shootings in America, an average of nearly one a week”(Everytown Research). How safe is our family members at school? Allowing teachers and staff to carry guns could lower that number. Some people may disagree with it, saying that it would be teaching students violence. School shootings would be a thing of the past if staff were armed.
Don’t you think students should take standardized tests? To start with standardized tests make sure schools are doing good. It also helps students prepare for later on in school such as elementary school, middle school, high school, and even collage. Even though it takes a while to get the test results back it only takes about 2 days to test. If students didn't take standardized tests how would you know how much they have progressed through the year.It will also give you preperation for next year.Sometimes the time depends on how long the students take to test. It not only tells you how good kids are doing but how well the teachers are teaching. It also shows and helps to know what subjects students are struggling in and what they're succeeding
There is much debate between students, parents, and educators as to whether or not public school students should be required to wear uniforms. Many feel that uniforms save time and money, as well as promoting equality among students. However, others doubt the cost-effectiveness of uniforms, and postulate that uniforms strip students of vital individuality and freedom. Practicality, safety, and freedom are three of the most commonly debated aspects of the requirement of uniforms.
Don't you hate waking up early for school in the morning? Most high school students wake up before the sun rises just to become ready for school. Teenage brains do not begin to function that early considering many are tired from staying up late the previous night. The National Sleep Foundation reported that most teens do not retain enough shuteye, one study found that only 15% reported sleeping eight 1/2 hours on school nights. That fact was extremely true for me when I attended high school. I barely was able to wake up, get dressed, and be in school on time since I was so tired. In my opinion school days should start later, precisely in between 9- 10 o'clock. If the school day started later attendance would improve, students will be more prepared, and student's attitudes and grades may improve.
College is an important stepping stone for millions of students around the world. The last thing these students want to think about is watching their backs as they walk to class. Parents should not have to worry about the safety of their children away at college. However, schools are turning into one-sided war zones. No student is allowed to carry a firearm on a university campus, yet young adults are being gunned down left and right.
This will help promote my side of the argument so that my side will be the superior argument and will attract more readers. I think kids should have less homework.Three reasons are, that homework is stressful, kids are given more homework than required, and it puts pressure on students causing them to work to hard and and have anxiety and health issues.
Is college really as valuable as everyone makes it out to be? College opens up various pathways to a successful future, if not a gateway into the middle class. With selective choices, college can be beneficial. Although it does depend on career choice and a major, one may find it certainly worth it.
School uniforms can be extremely beneficial to a school or just a waste of time. The pros and cons of having school uniforms in public schools has many pros and cons that equal out for the most part. Having uniforms mandatory for schools would be a big decision for lawmakers because the decision of whether uniforms should be mandatory is a local issue, and rules and regulations would have to be thought of for every school. Students, parents of students, and teachers of the communities that have uniforms could be affected a lot based on their opinions towards the issue. Whether uniforms should be mandatory or not all depends on the issue of why they are needed and a persons opinion of why they are needed.
Have you ever got home after school and just wanted to relax? But then you remember that you have tons and tons of homework. You complete everything but you still have to print something out, but you don't have a working printer. You go into school the next day and you tell your teacher. The teacher looks at you with a menacing eye and calls it an excuse for not doing it. This is what happens to students all the time. As soon as a teacher sees a blank homework sheet, they automatically think you just chose not to do it. Therefore homework should be banned. Kids don't always have the time to complete the homework that was assigned. In fact, according to author Tami Ansary said that since 1981, the amount of homework given to 6th graders has
This will be proven by analyzing the proponents and opponents views on school uniforms. While some schools feel that uniforms repress freedom of expression, studies have proven academic achievement through student success in schools that embrace a dress code.
Should school uniforms be required? Some say that uniforms help students focus on academics instead of fashion. Others believe that students should have the freedom to choose what they wear to school in order to express their differences and their uniqueness. After considering both sides of the issue, I strongly believe that uniforms should be introduced in primary public and private schools. Wearing school uniforms does not promote unfair comparisons between student’s incomes in terms of clothing; they aid students in developing their inner qualities instead of focusing on the outer aspects of themselves in the crucial earlier years of their lives, and provides a platform for practicing discipline.
