Should High School Students Receive A Driver's License?

Many schools across the country have been implementing the “no pass/no drive” law for a few decades. Under this law, state officials have the power to confiscate student's driver's license if they have poor grades or too many absences. This law is thought to help decrease the state’s High school dropout rate. California should implement and enforce the “no pass no drive” law to all public high schools to decrease dropout rates.

To begin, students will have much more free time in their evenings if Drivers Ed was offered within school hours. Teenagers would be able to complete more homework, work longer shifts at their job, and be able to hang out with their friends more. Teens would have more learning opportunities such as: doing

Some suggestions have been to increase the driving age to twenty-one and older, however, the lack of experience would be heightened with a possible increase of driving under the influence since the legal drinking age is twenty-one. Therefore, instead of raising the driving age why doesn’t the state, or even community create a mandatory Driver’s Ed class, one for learning about driving and another for actually driving. This is due to the idea that teens are more likely to see the errors of their classmates and not want to make the same mistake, or see what to do in certain situations that a teen might not know about. For example, the majority of teens aren’t actually taught about what to do in case one's car starts hydroplaning, which is crucial for not only the driver but anyone around them on the road safety. This is due to how the cars wheels have no traction on the ground and if they accelerate, or brake they could lose control of their car even more so than they already had. Thus, providing a mandatory class for graduation for students aged sixteen through nineteen will give them the opportunity to gain experience and knowledge, so that they have a decreased chance of being involved in an

Teenagers in America have lots of responsibilities and places to be like their jobs and school. In July of 2015 over 20.3 million 16-24 year olds were employed. If those teens below age 18 or 21 weren’t allowed to drive, that makes their job even harder than they already are.

Imagine if you were in high school and you weren't the brightest student, which resulted in bad grades, and then there was a policy made where you couldn't even get your driver’s license until your grades got up and stayed up. This is a policy that is being debated on by some legislators who think it’s a good policy and some who don’t think it’s such a good policy. I would be siding with the legislators who don’t think it’s a good policy. It’s not a good policy because I feel like it’s not really the legislators place. Also, students would be getting good grades for the wrong reasons. Lastly, someone’s academic in school doesn’t have anything to do with the ability to drive. Legislators

The article has no statistical evidence to support the ideas they provided. They also offer no statistics on how the revoking of a student’s license has made a positive impact on a student’s academic life. Therefore, I think taking away a student’s privilege to drive is unfair and would have minimal effect on improving their academic

Children are the future of America and the world at large, but as we move these kids up from Kindergarteners all the way up to adults we often overlook the astonishing 25% dropout rate in the United States. There have been many different solutions put forth to solve this but one that is widely used across the country and accepted is the no pass/no drive law. The no pass/no drive law would make it so in high school if you do not attend class often and or fail classes you will get your driver's licence taken as a teenager. Many people are in favor of this law but in truth, a law like this would be a bad idea. I believe that this law would be inadequate, and there are much better solutions than this

Graduated licences go off the chart! This restricts teens to a certain amount of driving hours. Now some states are debating whether to get GDLS or keep it the same way it is. Teens having Graduated drivers licence will decrease the number of accidents.

Driving as a teen is needed they need that freedom. teen driving is rapidly rising, but there are good in teen driving.Although opponents claim that it would be safer to raise the driving age, they should not raise the driving age requirements because it teaches teens responsibility, teens need to be able to drive to get to school and activities, and allows them to get job opportunities.“But the newly released teens would have little practical experience in the world”, Teens need that experience(driving)in the world.it states it because teens need a piece of the real world.teens need to be able to drive to get to school, work and sports

Do you really want to be stuck at home until you’re 18 doing nothing with your free time while your parents are gone? Don’t you want to be able to roam around places and probably take extracurricular activities on your own time and hang with friends too? Being able to drive is what many children in our society think about these days. When many teenagers reach the age of 15 ½ they are allowed to officially take their permit test to receive their permit for driving with an adult. After they have officially turned 16 they may take the behind-the wheel driving exam for a driver’s license, but the USA plans to change the driving age from 16 to 18. This idea seems to be a mistake seen in many ways. I believe that they shouldn’t change the

People should have a high school diploma before they get a driver's licences for two reasons they are, some people are too immature to be handling a driver's license, some people who do have a driver's licence but no car sometimes don’t really have enough education about how to drive cars, but for a counter claim ;however, Most people would learn at a younger and better age to drive than those who learn to old and have some difficulties remembering.

Many teens in the US are employed part time while also attending high school. Having a license enables these teens to get to and from work, job interviews, or even in some cases become employed in the delivery business. USA Today reports that while 30% of teens have jobs, employment rate is still falling. Increasing the driving age would only decrease the number of teens in the workforce. Surprisingly one third of those teens working, do so to support their family. Without proper transportation these teens would be forced to either miss more school or work less in order to make ends meet while still

Graduated Driver Licensing would ensure that poor decision making and activities would be eliminated and corrected before becoming bad habits, given that the supervising adult is responsible.

Another scenario would be people having to bring their high school diploma with them while driving. This would be hassle for adults and parents everywhere. Also if a student or adult had got their G.E.D instead of graduating they wouldn’t be able to drive or operate a vehicle which would cause other problems.

     I understand getting a license is difficult, but in the end everything you go through is worth it. The driver will have more experience, more time to learn, and the driver will learn to drive with others as well as driving on your own. So I think that establishment of graduated licenseing is a good thing for teenagers and for society. When you take your
