Amendment: Balanced Prayer In Schools

College costs are so overwhelming to undergraduates and graduates. So many people are leaving with thousands of dollars in debt just because they wanted to pursue a higher education. College shouldn't be one of the deterrents stopping low-income students from attending a university. If jobs are making it a requirement to have a degree then colleges should be lowering the cost so that getting a higher education is possible for everyone. Students should be able to want a postsecondary education without questioning if they will get out with a huge amount of debt or if they can afford

I personally don't think that college should be free. Students who pay for their college are more motivated, hard working and independent. Many students would have poor motivation to finish school, because they can always come back. As a matter of fact students with ambitions to get university degree are learning much harder in high school than other, who thinks they don’t need an extra paper. There are many students that are so smart, and they will find the way to get money for school. With extra work and help from family students will be able to afford college tuitions. Students need to depend on themselves; otherwise every taxpayer will have to cover their education expenses. There are several reasons why

Should the cost of earning a college degree be free? Some students,parents, and educators say that it is morally wrong for a child to spend their entire life going to public school for free and having them to just turn around and pay for college. The students, parents, and educators all would agree that the cost of obtaining a college degree should indeed be free. Those who are against this issue believe that the students themselves or their parents who are financially able should pay for some or all of the expense of attending college after all public school students are given a free ride from elementary to high school. Understanding and considering both sides of the issue, I strongly stand by the decision stating that the cost of attending college should be free.

College tuition should not be free in any means necessary. Students would not take college seriously if there was no price. College students would totally take advantage of the opportunity to go to college for free and completely blow it , it would even the playing field for everyone to be equal because college tuition is what keeps everyone else out. College would then be accessible to anyone who wanted to go.

The prospect of attending college can be both exciting and disconcerting, particularly given the current cost of tuition. “Free college programs that cover students' tuition are a step toward addressing issues of the cost of higher education, but leave questions of quality unanswered” (Bayer). Which means free tuition for a student that doesn’t have financial aid assisting them. I believe college should be free within the United States. Although there are states with “free”college or some kind of program to assists students in ; I believe all the states should provide free college for students. This being said, college should be free for students; no matter their race, religion, or sex. They would only be responsible for utilities and whatever else they chose to buy. Tution would essentially be paid by taxpayers within the state. Students can’t afford tuition and expenses due to them not making enough money at their part time job while going to school full-time. Even if a student could afford the tuition they still would not have enough to cover their other expenses.

First, free college may not benefit those most in need. As Matt Bruenig, a writer who researches poverty and welfare systems, in his article “The Case Against Free College” argued, “The main problem with free college is that most students come from disproportionately well-off background and already enjoy disproportionately well-off futures, which makes them relatively uncoupling targets for public transfers…At public colleges, students from the poorest fourth of the population currently pay net tuition at either two-year or four-year institutions….Richer students currently receive much fewer tuition and living grant benefits”(113). Free college should benefit poorer students, but actually could end up helping wealthy students more. Low income

Not so long ago, a typical school day would begin with the Pledge of Allegiance and a prayer. Today, a simple prayer is considered offensive and unconstitutional. A prayer is meant to be a conversation with God; a personal connection to a sovereign being of choice. I personally believe that prayer is beneficial. Prayer calms my mind and gives me the chance to thank God for all of his blessings. Granted, not everyone believes in the same God that I do. I believe most people would probably agree that there is some form of higher power that everyone has to answer to. One of the things that I love about being an American, are the freedoms that I have. I am free to worship the God I choose and to pray at anytime or any place that I choose.

The United States is a place where different types of people live together and gradually create one community. Within these communities are those who hold different faiths and beliefs. Right from the start of time we have begun as an assembly of societies that understood our religious differences. Spiritual acceptance among Americans is as strong now as it was once the Declaration of Independence was written by our forefathers. Nevertheless, the concepts of religion and government that they put in place by means of the Constitution of the United States and its Amendments no longer provides the freedoms of religion that they had in mind. The concern of our forefathers was to allow individuals to worship as they desire. The First Amendment of the United States addressed how our new government and religion would work stating: “Congress shall

State universities and community colleges should offer free tuition to all students who academically qualify for admission.

College is very expensive and lots of people pay around $30,000 to $60,000 per year. Lots of people have to get student loans which means that they have to pay interest and that is even more than the student loan that they get. Some students could go into debt for having to get a student loan. If a family makes a decent amount of money, but they have it get out a big student loan for their kids to go to college, but the rich can just send their kids off to college and still will get richer and richer but the middle class will just lose and lose more money. College is very expensive, so I think that it should be free for middle class families. Lots of Americans can’t afford college. Free education clearly has it’s advantages. Cost spread across

An issue that has been constantly debated for years is whether voluntary prayer in public schools should be permitted. A student should be allowed to pray voluntarily at the beginning of each school day based on many reasons. Prayer based on moral beliefs reinforce good citizenship as defined by our forefathers. A daily reminder of a need for the belief of good over evil is a necessary part of this society. Daily voluntary school prayer should be re-instated in public schools due to three reasons, the historical basis of the beginning of the United States government, the serious moral decline since prayer has been outlawed, and the government infringement on the constitutional guarantee of individual freedom

Public schools are put in place to educate students tempt them into religious acts that were not chosen upon them individually, the judicial outlook of the matter is the courts find that prayers being set upon in schools is inappropriate and unconstitutional, the presidential outlook from (Murray v. Curlett) explains that students coming into school should not start the day with a prayer and should have neutrality, the executive’s feel that the practice of religions in schools singles out the kids who do not participate in religions at home and should be rethought altogether. Each branch separately has issues with the out coming of religion being shown so freely in public schools and can see the concerns worried parents may have about it, but the dispute seems so easily brushed off that even the laws passed behind it seems almost nonchalant.

Growing up in America many kids are told about what it is to be free. They are told about those who have fought for our freedom and those who have died bravely for it. Some Americans are filled with hope at a young age. Hope for the future, hope for freedom and equality. The American flag flies high for those who are proud of its stars and stripes. On the other hand, some may look at the flag and see the red of blood and the white of forgone innocence. Some American children grow up thinking that life is not fair. They grow up with the idea that things may come harder to them because of the color of their skin or their gender. The amendments have been put into place by the U.S. Constitution to ensure that every American has equal rights, no matter their gender, race, or religion. The most important amendments to the U.S. Constitution include the Sixth Amendment, the Ninth Amendment, the Thirteenth Amendment, the Fifteenth Amendment, and the Nineteenth Amendment. In this paper I’m going to state my reasoning for choosing these five amendments.

Around the globe education is an important aspect for advancing and excelling in life. The fast paced development of the economy requires training in higher education to build careers. However, higher education may cost huge amounts of money when proper steps are not taken. Many college students face great debt after attending college. With that being said, the U.S. government has made it possible for these costs to be reduced by implementing acts like Higher Education Act, Taxpayers relief Act, and Pell Grants and Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants. Among these other acts are many scholarships that are provided by schools and community gatherings to support higher education. Free education sounds very beneficial to many college students but I argue against it due reasons like the decrease in value of education it may cause, it would lead to a flood of graduates with mediocre credentials all competing for a limited number of jobs and the burden it may put on taxpayers.

There has been a lot of debate about whether or not the government should pay for college tuition for students who cannot afford the tuition. Some people say that it would be more money for the government to pay for students' tuition, or that we would in debt our country an even greater amount. Others say that the increase in taxes would be a ridiculous amount and takes away more of their income. However, free college tuition for the students who can't afford a higher education would open up many opportunities. Which would include: more job opportunities, higher income, and producing better rounded individuals. These opportunities are not just for the student but the entire community. College tuition should be free for those who qualify to enable them to afford a higher education, increase student enrollment and lessen the amount of student debt.
