Declaring Independence From School

It brings great obstacles to those who walk down the halls of Silverado High School day in and day out to be by bombarded by thirty-six hundred plus students. This prompts trying to go to the bathroom between classes beyond implausible, for it’s intense enough to just make it to class on time as it is without trying to make a pit stop at the bathroom. Students have been reduced to plowing and shoving their way through people in order to possibly make it to class and be in their seat before the tardy bell rings. I think all parents and more important, students involved will agree that this gargantuan number of students trying to push through one another to make it to the restroom or simply to

The students that don’t come back will get an immediate parent phone call as soon as they don’t show up. After their 3rd offense they will get their lunch pass taken away and they will need to eat school lunch for the rest of the school year.

Argument Essay Every year, consistently, teenagers attending a new school face genuine difficulties. They usually face personal issues, social issues, and judicial issues. For instance, they may experience difficulty understanding who they are and their potential purpose in society, making and maintaining relationships, and staying out of trouble. These sorts of issues don't go away, and require teenagers to fail or “learn the hard way”, before they can identify the issues themselves.

Lastly, some people don’t agree with the new rules because in my school they are only letting one person per class to go to the bathroom and you have to sign in and out to see how long you were gone and make sure they know where you are. I think this is good so people know where you are and what you are doing and making sure you are not going somewhere you shouldn’t be going.

We spend about seven hours at school every day for five days every week for nine months out of the year. It becomes our second home, and it is supposed to teach us they ways of the world and how to survive in it. However, just like everything valuable, it comes at a price, which often is in the form of a student’s health, sanity, and originality. Given that Thoreau, Emerson, and other transcendentalists value individualism and freedom of thought as essential aspects of a human being’s life, they would despise the education system of today, as it forces students to conform and restrain their minds in order to be successful.

I still maintain to this day that school is a place to learn languages, learn maths, learn history, and, most importantly, learn how to learn. It is not a place to learn conformity or regulations that have no bearing on society, or becoming a drone who automatically accepts everything an authority figure tells them.

The number one reason why I believe I shouldn’t have to write this essay is that I’m not in school, which means that I don’t want to do anything that is work related. I just want to sit on my butt, watch movies, be obnoxious, and maybe improve my nonexistent Call of Duty skills. Video games and I don’t really get along, in fact, besides for Guitar Hero, we never have. Instead of wasting my time here, I want to go and obliterate some aliens or

Time and time again I've found myself declaring education as the central pillar of my growth and development, that of which has been consistent throughout my life and educational career. From the age of 8 I've attributed school and learning as a way to escape the outside world, both willingly, and as an involuntary coping mechanism; school was a refuge, a safe place where I could build healthy relationships and escape my worries.
