There’s a bittersweet problem happening in schools around the country. The problem is the fact that elementary kids shouldn't switch classes. In my opinion students need support and stability in order to do well in schools.

For this essay, special attention had to be paid to the audience I was writing to, namely the John P. Stevens High School administration. My audience has a deep interest in the academics of the school’s students, and will seek to improve the school policy if it is clear that there are foreseeable benefits to the plan. In the past, the administration has always been contacted first whenever there have been proposals by students such as creating a new club or adding more food items to the lunch menu. The administration will be responsive to me because I am approaching them with a solution to a perceived problem. As such, I made sure to use a respectful tone and sophisticated diction to show them that I appreciate their time and effort into reading my proposal and considering my arguments.

I think that should should be held all year long, for many reasons. The majority of students want their summer vacation, which is to be expected, but you really do have to look at the bigger picture; there are a lot more solutions to issues that come along with summer vacation. Year round schooling would help teachers with their teaching, the parents with financial issues, and the marks of students. This is really the best choice for everyone, especially when this way of learning boosts grades. The whole point of school is education; not summer vacation.

Middle school is hard. The homework, your schedule, different teachers, switching classes, friends, not having friends, different groups of friends, girls/boys, projects, band, sports, not making the sports, and homework are all a few things to mention that come along with middle school.

In 6th grade so far it is awesome. In 6th grade we can have our phones out at lunch in the morning when the school bell didn’t ring yet and after school when the bell rings. And so far I been keeping track of my hills bills cause now when it is starting to be the end of the school year there is a lot of more celebration and talent shows of where we have to pay hills bills.

For a lot of high school students, may I dare say most, they do not have a clue about what it means or what to expect as an adult. The high schools should be offering more real world classes as electives or extra classes that can be taken. High schools should offer classes on how to apply for a job and how to file taxes. High schools should also offer more opportunities for students to leave school with more real world experience. Today students are only pushed through the system.
