Should Students Get Paid?

    First off, school requires a mental effort which by definition is considered to be work. Since we go to school for 8 hours every day and do that about 180 days per year, we should get paid if we keep our grades up because it’s hard to do. Keeping good grades requires lots of hard work and effort. It also requires time, which some of us

Have you ever thought about how college is going to be like paying you college dept well by getting a scholarship you could possibly not have to pay for anything. (free college!)

Students receive free public education from pre-k to 12th grade, so why should students have to pay for college? College can be a huge expense, and many loans have to be taken out to pay for their education. Is this right? If high school is free then why isn’t college? According to student support organization College Board, published tuition fees for 2014/15, state colleges are an average of US$9,139 for state residents, and $22,958 for everyone else. This compares to an average of $31,231 at private non-profit colleges. Why is it so expensive, unlike in some places where it’s free.

If students had to pay for school themselves they would take their studies more seriously. If made to earn their tuition and housing funds, students would spend less time partying and more time working towards a future career. While it would be more difficult on the front end, it would reduce debt on the back end, especially for those who do not end up with quite the post-graduation paycheck they had been expecting freshman year. In previous generations, this idea was possible. People either worked their way through college or they did not go at all. This idea seems unrealistic in today’s competitive world of colleges. Student loans are a big reason for this change. If it were more difficult to borrow money for school, the amount of people who attend college would decrease. Instead they would fall into jobs that a high school diploma fully equips them for and that many college graduates end up holding either way (McArdle).

Why should college students get paid for playing a sport? If you really think about it, it might sound nice to get paid traditional salaries just like a professional athlete does. But, it’s not really that good of an idea because of what college offers you already when you play the sports. College students who play college sports get put on live TV broadcast during their games so everyone in the world could see them play and some students who play sports in high school will get a scholarship to go to a good college if they are recognized by how good they are at the sport. All of that is a privilege for playing a sport in college and those who get recognized or are that good at the sport could eventually become a professional athlete and then

After graduating from high school, it’s a time to start fresh and find your personality.There are many choices that we as young adults have to make about how we are going to continue on with our lives, and get to where we want to be. Furthering our education in the long run will help us have happier, successful lives. Going to college, is a big part of many people’s lives, and a choice that many will choose to get to their next goal in life. Although, when one is looking into what route they are going to choose, there are many options to pick from; a public and or private university, a community college, a technical school or even going into the military to help pay for the high tuition. In this paper, I’m going to discuss the tuition, class sizes and what they have to offer.

To foundationally break the question on whether student athletes should get paid or not, we need to ask ourselves if students should get paid in the first place. Students are the reason why many young adults go to college. Students are people attending a lesson willingly to learn a lesson. College and Universities are a place for students to learn and excel with the enormous resources that are available for students to utilize. Several of our brightest citizens of the world have been students. These people include Jeff Bezos (Amazon Founder), Mark Zuckerberg (Founder of Facebook), Marissa Mayer (CEO of Yahoo), as well as many other famous, and successful people in this world. All of these successful people went

The average grade for students paying for their education with their own personal income was significantly higher than those students relying on financial aid. Six students are passing with an A average while paying for their education or 67% of the possible 9 students and the remaining 3 are passing with a B average or 33%, while 3 students we’re passing with an A average making up 27% of all students using financial aid and 5 students are passing with a B average and are responsible for 45% of those using financial aid. Two of the remaining 3 are passing with a C average or 18%, and the remaining student 10% is currently failing. The numbers clearly show that the grade average is higher for those paying for their education out of pocket.

Due to events in schools across the country, leggings have taken a sharp turn in dress code history. As females continued to wear leggings to school, parent organizations and administrations began to rethink their dress codes. Leggings, which are fitted stretch pants commonly made of spandex, cotton, or polyester, were the center of debate in many schools. They are considered pants, but are sometimes mistaken for tights, or pantyhose. Tights can also be referred to as leggings, but the terms are not interchangeable. Tights are often too revealing, however, leggings are not. Although schools consider leggings to be inappropriate, female students deserve the right to wear them to school because they shouldn’t be the cause of distraction to males, are a form of self-expression, and do not affect education.

Would students be able to improve their grades if they were getting paid? Money is a great reward for most students and it could possibly have a long term effect on students. They are always wanting their grades to be improved and then they would have more of a reason to study for test and quizzes if they were getting paid do go to school. Students would be focused at school if their was money to be made by going to school. Teachers would also not be stopping as often because of students getting of track. I believe students would improve their grades if they were getting paid because, Money could have a long term effect, and more student could need a little more motivation

There are many types of jobs. Some require education and others require skills. At their meetings, the school board is discussing whether or not students should be allowed to chose if they can take College Preparatory classes or Career Technical Education courses, eliminating General Education. I believe students should have the choice to pick their own classes depending on what career they want.

Students are forever wondering if they are going to make it or not. As some work, they have to jungle between the hustle and bustle throughout the day just to make ends meet. That at the end of the day, they come home exhausted and tired from their jobs. That in mind, they have to calculate the expenses of their books, classes, and supplies. School books are debts, along with their home bills. They have children, and some are already struggling as there isn't enough time to sleep or to finish what they have

After school sports might be fun, but it is not helping the students at all. The games themselves might reduce stress levels; but it has been shown that schools tend to spend more on the fields and the bleachers then should actually be spent. A school was almost shut down because of the academic failures, but somehow still had equipment to play games. Therefore, schools should get rid of after school sports because they spend too much money on them, America is lacking academily compared to other countries, and they pay too much attention to the games.

In the article, “Why You Shouldn’t Pay Children for Grades,” Amy McCready details her argument against children receiving money as a reward for good grades. Her main point is expressed in her article as a sentence: “But no matter how much we want it to, money can’t buy smarts, motivation, or school success.” She is expressing her idea that paying kids will not genuinely help them. Within the article, McCready expresses her dislike of parents using payment to attempt to encourage student achievement. Her points include her belief that paying children won’t maintain high grades because kids lose interest and excitement over time. She also believes that payment for grades creates a negative attitude within the children and invoke a sense of entitlement.

Have you ever wondered how it would be if teachers got paid due to how students learn? Well, I think they should be paid due to how much students learn. I am sure everyone will have their own opinion, but my opinion is that they should get paid. This is the question I am wondering and I really want to know how it would be. This is my opinion on the topic and I have many reasons why teachers should get paid. I hope you agree with what I wrote and also I hope you agree with my reasons too. They will not be the same reason but I think these reasons make sense to my topic.
