When in the course of a young person's life, it becomes crucial to determine where they will go to highschool, and how they will continue their secondary education. This decision is one of the first choices a young person can make and inevitably one of the most important. If said young person is ever limited in their power for making decisions it can negatively impact not only their consciousness but also their prospective schooling, college for example. These facts entitle said young people to certain unalienable rights involving their education. We hold these truths to be self-evident: a young person has the right to be happy and confident with their educational decisions, in addition they are to be permitted to make their own educational decisions and receive more freedoms. On the occasion that any of these rights are seized or ignored, we the people of Pocatello, reserve the right to act in any manner necessary. The People of Pocatello are to receive these rights and the …show more content…
Century has teachers that refuse to help students and counsellors that are condescending and refuse to help pupils feel secure and happy about their education and the superficial staff and principal only add to the complication. Phones can be used as an exceptional educational device however Century has dismissed the full potential of this device and thus prohibits its use regardless of the possibilities. Century is very isolated and thus repudiates all freedoms in regards to leaving campus for lunches and because school lines are so long options become even more limited. Overall these facts prove that Century is not only blatantly ignoring but also outright refusing to acknowledge the basic rights of the people; this violation of our basic unalienable rights grants us the ability to act in any way necessary to protect and take back our
Academic excellence is the primary desire of every parent and student. However, there are varying perceptions of the role of education in the life of and individual. According to the survey carried out on the perception of the role of education in the life of an individual, it was established that eight out of ten students were of the view that they pursued education for the purpose of economic gains. Additionally, six out of ten students viewed education as serving the purpose of broadening their view and perceptions in life. Accordingly, the widening of the will help them rethink their ideas and values.

In this society, almost every high schooler is told they need to go to college in order to be successful, but that is not necessarily true. Stephanie Owen and Isabel Sawhill questioned if everyone needs college to be successful in their article, “Should Everyone Go to College?”. In the article, Owen and Sawhill discuss that even though college is very helpful for many people, but for some the benefits of a college education do not outweigh the costs. Owen and Sawhill discuss this and show the statistics on the pricing of college and general student success throughout the article. Overall, this article does a very well job showing ethical appeals with statistics, does an average job with emotional appeal, and does a very well job showing logic
Plato, Thoreau, and Sartre suggested that human life should be free. They had different points of view about freedom, but combining Plato's freedom in mind, Thoreau's freedom in nature, and Sartre's freedom in subjectivity of individual gives people the clear and perfect image of freedom. Understanding freedom is the first step to find freedom in the real life. So in relevant, college students have freedom to think critically. Students' freedom is able to study whatever they want, and find out their own roads to the bright future. However, how to use correctly freedom is the hard question to students in this real life.
In today 's society, there are multitudes of pressure high school students face. One of the biggest pressures put on high school students is the decision of going to college. From the moment students enter into a secondary education, they are constantly asked questions about their future plans. Teachers and parents expect students to perform their best, while giving them no chance but to look towards college. In some cases, however, college might not be the answer. Other options exist as alternate avenues after high school, however, these are not as often expressed as the idea of a four year university. Although a college education and degree is most often more impactful than a high school diploma, there is too much pressure
Many kids beginning the college - decision process may be feeling lost at first, and ”By telling all young people that they should go to college no matter what, we are actually doing some of them a disservice. ”(Owen and Sawhill 209) For a seventeen/eighteen year old, going to college is arguably the biggest decision that they have had to make in their life thus far, and having the facts that Owen and Sawhill produce can be invaluable to the decision-making process. It is clear that the purpose of their essay is to better inform these young adults and guide them on their journey that is life after high school. The primary claim that Owen and Sawhill attempt to drive in using rhetorical appeals is that on average, having a college degree will lead to a higher income than not having one; however, it is not universally
In this paper I will detail the reasons for my support of school choice, because its success does not necessarily rely on a change in all of the educational institutions involved. Rather, school choice allows a fundamental shift in how we participate in the education of our children. It involves the act of volition, and constitutes a practice that had generally been reserved for most other aspects of American society: free choice.

Aidan can drive any car- automatic or standard. Not legally, but he can do it. 13 should be old enough, right? Wrong. In RI you need to be 16 to take the driver’s test and 18 to actually drive. Aidan wanted to dive his dad’s Chevy Camaro SS before it had to be put away for the winter. He got permission to go around the block as long as he didn’t make the gas go below 10% remaining. Well, He didn’t let the gas run out but he did run into a swarm of police officers. The police were puzzled when they saw Aidan in the driver’s seat giving the famous quip “Is there a problem officer?” “Well yes there is a problem matter of fact- you are a child driving a race car!” “Ok, I’ll put it back…” Aidan went home with the police escort and he was “let off
In societies all around the world, young adults today - from all kinds of socioeconomic backgrounds - are feeling the pressure to pursue a post secondary education as much as they have in previous generations. This is often the influence of those individuals who have taught us everything that we know up to this point: parents, teachers, government figures, scholars, and even celebrities. It is at this time in our lives when we must begin to analyze certain elements of a post-secondary education, like what is the purpose, who benefits from an individual’s education, and who should pay for it? The answers to these and other related questions will vary between societies, between nations, and between individuals. How we perceive the objectives of post-secondary will influence the way we address the other elements, and vice versa.
For the last 18 years or so, we have been influenced and directed by parents, teachers, and other authority figures. We have been told when to get up, when to work, when to play, when to eat, sleep, come home, go out, etc., etc., etc. Now we are moving on. As we do, let me remind you of two principles we have been taught, the principle of freedom and the principle of success. As adults, a whole new world of personal freedom awaits us.
The completion of high school is the beginning of adult life. Entitlement to public education ends, and young people and their families are faced with many options and decisions about the future. The most common choices for the future are pursuing vocational training or further academic education, getting a job, and living independently.
As a teenager, independence is one of the most desired ideals. However, it has a broad range of various topics; independence basically means the ability to handle responsibilities, but it differs from the needs of certain people. Gaining a driver’s license, getting a job or heading off towards college are the main moving points of a growing teenager. It is the same for me; my main focus would be to arrange my needs for college and develop preparations for future careers, which would happen afterward. As a rising senior, I will declare my independence by preparing my university options, ready myself for obstacles from my major and develop an awareness of my career options.
Once a child goes to school, they could express many of their thoughts, feelings, and needs, and they start taking more significant steps towards independence. Meanwhile, as we go into adulthood, adults can choose things like where they want to live, what they want to eat, what job they will do, etc. In adulthood, it consists of changes in lifestyles and relationships. Furthermore, as an adult, life changes, such as leaving home, finding a long‐term romantic relationship, beginning a career, and starting a family. Many young adults first leave their house to attend college or to take a job in another city, and that’s where their independence starts. Also, Adults attain at least some level of attitudinal, emotional, and physical freedom.
Staff obviously chose no, because they had never experienced cell phones in school before, when they themselves were students. Back then, cell phones didn't even exist! Adults tend to think that tradition must be maintained. Out of the results, most people actually said that cell phones shouldn't be banned for many reasons. In conclusion, this essay tries to argue that cell phones are valuable tools in schools.
There has been a number of debates as to whether college students should be given the opportunity to choose their courses. Like any contentious subject, while others are of the opinion that, courses should be chosen for college students, others believe that, students should be given complete freedom to choose the courses they would love to study. When students join college, they are forced to study for subjects they do not want to. Many students complain that they are not allowed to choose subjects they are interested in; rather, they are forced to take compulsory subjects. In addition, students complain that, they are forced to spend their entire years in college doing things they really do not need. This is very wrong because, college students should have more freedom to choose their own courses for several reasons. To start with, students are always interested in studying different subjects, and they love courses they choose to study. Moreover, if students are allowed to study the courses they choose, it will be easy for them to concentrate and work hard so as to excel in this subjects.
