Should Public Schools Persuasive Essay

Having escaped rule from a tyrannical British government, the United States was founded on ideals of freedom and equality for all people. These fantasies of universal egalitarianism turned out to be merely that: fantasies. American history is full of stories of the oppressed struggling to get the rights they deserve and of the controversy over these issues that consequently ensues. “The Hypocrisy of American Slavery” by Frederick Douglass and “We Shall Overcome” by Lyndon B. Johnson are two speeches made confronting two of these issues. Douglass’s speech, delivered in 1852, condemns the institution of slavery and maintains that slaves are men and are therefore entitled to freedom. Johnson’s speech, on the other hand, was written in 1965 and discussed the civil rights movement. In it, he implored local governments to allow all American citizens, regardless of race, to vote. Despite the significant gap in time between these two addresses, both speakers use similar persuasive techniques, including ethos, pathos, and parallelism, to convince their audience that change needs to be implemented in America.

What is one of the things that most people are accustomed to? Something that has been a part of their daily life. There are many things but what I am referring to is school. School has been around for hundreds of years. Whether it was to learn about religion or the mandatory classes we take now in the 21st century, many of us have been advised to go to school. It has changed a lot over the years and the system is still trying to improve how they could better educate their students in the future. Now, after going through many levels of school, people question themselves: why did I learn all of this? They question why they couldn’t learn more about taxes, buying a house or the important aspects when you get a car. School has become a

In 1983, Raymond Carver introduced his short story “Cathedral” to the public. The first-person narrative takes place within the narrator’s home, where his wife is waiting upon the arrival of her blind friend Robert. The narrator, however, becomes more concerned about how Robert’s visit will affect him rather than enjoy the situation. Once Robert arrives, the narrator tries to understand the blind man, but he is unaware of what tasks Robert is capable of performing due to the narrator’s inability to “see”. In time, Robert shows the narrator the difference between looking and seeing through illustrations of a cathedral, drawn by the narrator with his eyes closed. “Cathedral’s” narrator exposes readers to anti-heroic views

Being an athletes is one of the best-paid jobs on Earth. Being that they are paid so much the cost for the consumer is very high. The prices of tickets and sports memorabilia have been steadily rising over the years. The average ticket prices for the NHL, MLB, NBA and NFL all rose 5% to 10% this year, according to Jon Greenberg, executive editor of Team Marketing Report. (Mihoces).

Over 7,500 animals are killed in zoos because they are deemed surplus, as stated by Liz Tyson an animals rights activist. This giraffe in particular sparked a huge controversy. HIs name was Marius, he was homed at the Copenhagen Zoo and was 2 years old when the staff killed him with a bolt gun. Marius was then dissected and fed to lions in front of ongoing zoo goers. What got people fuming is that he was a healthy, young giraffe. Therefore I believe the killing of Marius should not be justified.

The cost of college tuition is continually on the rise and has placed many burdens on high school students as well as their families. Some of the burdens that are placed are a result of parents putting pressure on their children to earn scholarships. Some of the burden is a result of students putting pressure on themselves to earn scholarships. Then, there is the burden of high college debt once the student graduates. Is this pressure really helping our students or is it hurting them? The bottom line is college tuition is skyrocketing out of control and something must be done before it destroys our families and our children.

Thank you for your comments and concerns about HR 610 and HB 820 proposed federal and state legislation dealing with school choice. I always enjoy hearing from my constituents so I may accurately represent their beliefs and legislative priorities.

The last time I saw Charlie outside prison walls we were on the run. Charlie was on the run, not I, I just went along for the ride because he was my husband. Charlie was on parole, but he loved to drink his booze. In our state it's a violation to drink while on parole.

Over two million people do not want to have all around school. I felt like all around school is just too long for some people. Now some people like all around school, but the reason I am not being that some of the students do not learn as much, high school kids may not have it and all of the others will, and it will put stress on the kids. Do you think we should have all around school? Though I do not want all around school just because it is too long.

Why spend money that is really needed for other things? Why live uncomfortably? Why be trapped in this hole called a home that belongs to another person? Why not live free and peacefully? When a person rents he or she usually throws away money that could be used to purchase something that belongs to them. Money is not easy to come by so why pay out hundreds toward something that is not benefit to the person paying it out. There is no good explanation for making a decision like this. The best option in a situation like this is to buy a house. Buying a house is a better option than renting an apartment.

“Your assignment is to write a persuasive essay and present it to the class in a week. You will be graded based on how convincing it is. Today we will be choosing topics,” announced Mr. Bowerbank, my 7th grade English teacher and ruler of classroom 110. My class simultaneously groaned at the prospect of work. I simply lifted my head with intrigue as it was already May and about time we had our first essay. He then proceeded to give examples of topics we could choose and gave us some time to think before we had to tell him our topic. My classmates were already rushing to tell the teacher their idea lest someone else steal it. That meant the usual abortion, death penalty, or drug use topics were out. I really couldn't think of anything and the teacher was slowly making his way through the remaining students like an executioner beheading criminals in a line. I have always thought that he would make a marvelous supervillain if he had a curly mustache, a tophat, and a cape. Eventually my name was called. I slowly dragged myself over to his desk. Even sitting down, he still seemed to tower over me. “What is your topic Cindy?” As usual in such desperate times, my mind turned to food. “Waffles are better than pancakes.” I figured that a waffle was just a differently shaped pancake with a nicer texture. “Hmm. Excellent topic. I look forward to your essay!” I survived to live yet another day.

Schools today face constantly face looming budget cuts and shortfalls that continually threaten the quality of education they can provide their students. They are forced to make due with inadequate supplies, crowded classrooms, and even retaining poorly performing teachers to cover the teacher shortage. Moreover, they are forced to cut corners wherever possible, yet do not have the ability to reduce the overwhelming waste of their resources in other areas. For example, while teachers are required to account for the amount of copy paper they use, the same school will send home multiple copies of the same flyer with different children from the same family or print newsletters on only one side of each paper. As a parent of three children and a frequent volunteer at my children’s school, I am often surprised by the amount of paper that is sent home each day, whether informational or graded assignments, despite the efforts that the school has made to reduce paper usage. I’ve also seen firsthand that paper is not the only resource that is often wasted, including items that could be recycled or the use of copious amounts of water in an attempt to have a green playing field in the desert, which not only effects the school’s bottom-line but the environment as well. The amount of wasted resources produced by only one small elementary school is often disheartening, especially considering the number of schools that face the same issues with funding for those same resources.

There are many forms of energy that we may use everyday ,but one of the most important types of energy is nuclear energy. While one can not use nuclear energy to power a lawnmower, it is used on a much larger scale. There are countless ways to obtain energy, but nuclear energy is obtained in a somewhat unique way compared to other forms. In this way nuclear energy is differentiated from other forms of energy like hydro and geothermal energy. This along with many other reasons like nuclear energy produces more energy with fewer resources and being better for the environment is why many governments and their scientist prefer nuclear energy.

It doesn’t matter if we are ready to answer the questions our young ladies have, they will keep coming. Relying on schools to teach our children everything they need to know about their bodies, peer pressure, bullying, and sex is just not realistic. While some things may be discussed in school, not everything is. Furthermore, children are typically uncomfortable when it comes to asking personal questions in front of their peers. Gossip and rumors will be the biggest enemy you will battle during the school years. There is no secret way to stop this from occurring, and often girls are much meaner than boys when it comes to “flaws”. Aside from classmates’ developments, advertisements everywhere will have our children questioning what is happening, or perhaps not happening, to their bodies. It is your job as the caregiver to help sort out all these confusing matters.
