Why Kids Should Not Be Allowed In School

“When you tear out a man’s tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you’re only telling the world that you fear what he might say.” ― George R.R. Martin. Throughout history, schools have books banned books for a host of reasons, from politically controversial content to profane language or violence. Book banning should no longer be allowed in schools because parents should the ones deciding what their child can or cannot read, it violates the First Amendment, and it does not teach children and teens to think for themselves.

Each day school children learn valuable skills and lessons from their teachers as well as through interactions with their peers. Although school, undoubtedly,

Will Galloway, a Chairman of South Carolina Teenage Republicans stated that,” Rather than promote an orderly and disciplined student environment, mandatory uniforms would cause massive student disobedience and take away valuable instruction time.” Modern school uniforms are traced all the way back to the 16th Century England. The first US schools to have school uniforms was in Maryland and Washington, Dc in 1987. Schools should not have school uniforms because of cost and risk of bullying

I believe some of the advocated who prohibit LGBT issues from being taught in school might be because, some parent does not want their kids, and any other children around theirs, exposed to LGBT related issues in school or been taught that its ok to be homosexual. Also, considering religion practices, many beliefs homosexuality is a sin. Some of them probably believe these students should not be taught about homosexuality in school.

As a toddler develops into a child, he/she becomes aware of what is right and wrong. A child desires to find out what morals are and why their parents make the decisions that they do. Coles articulates that “… any parent who has listened closely to his/her child knows that the girls and boys are capable of wandering about matters of morality…” (2003, p.439). Coles suggests that if a parent is willing to pay close attention to what his/her child asks, a parent will realize that children are indeed able to and need to ask those challenging moral

What would you rather do, your homework or play your favorite sport? Some people may have to play sports as soon as they get home. People without homework have more freetime. While people with homework have to do a bunch of work.We should not have homework; homework is not beneficial to students’ mental health. Homework is mainly just busy work, and homework has a negative effect on home life.

The article mentioning the I-Gen isn't completely wrong. However, stating that kids in school absolutely need jobs is a bit excessive. Most kids are taking ap classes, plus all the old people in the desert don't feel the need to retire quite yet, so job positions for teens in high school are given more to the older generations. Also cutting down times on items like smart phones or computers is nearly impossible, most teachers require work to be turned in online (cough cough), combined with six classes could mean a possible 3 hours on electronics for work alone. Overall, this article isn't too bad and makes some compelling points.

Hello, My name is Sarah and I am writing to you regarding the new policy that is being adopted. The one about "Students who do not have a B average or above, can no longer participate in after school activities including any clubs or sports."

Schools in America shouldn’t have homework. It has been proven to not help with test scores or school work, but what it does help with, is lowering students’ health. I believe that schools should assign little or no homework, It does little to help and more to hurt the students. For instance, most students don’t have computers and are financially unable to get one. This is unfair and can cause the student to be behind on their schoolwork. Another reason is that students are so loaded with schoolwork and other family/friend activities that they don’t have enough time to do what they really need to. Lastly, the Finnish school system has shorter school days, more recess, and starts at the age of 7. Yet, it has been proven that they get one of the highest test scores internationally.

Recently we have been hearing all kinds of horror stories of school shootings. People going off the deep end, deciding to massacre students and teachers at schools across the nation for no reason. There was the Sandy Hook shooting a few years back, when some man decided to go to an elementary school and kill anyone, kids and teachers alike. There was the shooting on a college campus recently, where no one was hurt because of the textbooks in their bags. Shootings like these seem to be more common recently, and with the debate over gun control laws who knows how this will end. Some people argue that teachers need carry a gun to school in case of a shooting, but is that the best thing to do? Not really. You are bringing a weapon in to a setting where students are supposed to feel safe and secure, not threatened by the chance of being shot. Teachers and students should not be allowed to carry handguns on college campuses because there should be no need for one, it is a danger to everyone, and there are other ways to deal with emergency situations.

The discussion of bearing arms has been prominent in American history since the writing of the Bill of Rights. Many believe that having the right to bear arms is part of their national identity. It is something that most tend to hold close to their hearts. According to the Washington Post, it was reported in 2015 that about 43% of American families had guns in their homes and/or on their properties (Washington Post, 2016). But should individuals be able to carry guns everywhere? The “Gun Free School Zones Act” of 1990 ensures that the areas in and around school buildings and facilities are gun free (article 1). The repeal of this act would create a variety of issues for the society such as an increase in gun related violence and child safety.

Would athletes want to get a big fat shiny golden athletics trophy, but receive it for doing absolutely nothing but participating in your team’s activities? Personally, I wouldn’t want a trophy for prancing about, fooling around, and not even paying attention to why I joined the Basketball in the first place. Kids should have a passion for a sport. The can’t just sign-up for a sport, just to get the trophy at the end of the season. This controversy has been on the uprising throughout the years.

The sate of Texas perhaps is seeking to give all college students the right to protect themselves while they are outside of their homes, due to all of crime and corruption going on. However the state of Texas is also looking into passing this law not only for students but also professors and staff of the university or college. However in order for students to be able to carry a handgun they need to have their CHL license and must be 21 years old. I do not agree with this decision at all. I myself as a college student will not feel safe walking around campus knowing that any of the students walking next to me could have a handgun. What if student provokes a another student and he is in a possession of a handgun, he could feel in power to take

Our government, taxes, healthcare, security systems, international affairs regulations, and almost every other important system in our society are constantly renovated. Yet the concepts behind our general education structure and focus are rarely questioned seriously, or questioned while keeping science and ethics in mind. As a society, we cannot expect the same, or even more, work from adolescents as we do adults while treating them like they have no sensible autonomy or agency in their lives. Conditioned in this style of schooling, minors do not have the capability to effectively speak up for themselves when they have been taught to follow authority their whole lives. But as time goes on, the high expectations and pressures of students will

Hector Alvarez DeWalt 1301-Y004 October 1, 2014 Rhetorical Analysis Rough Draft “School Is Bad For Children” John Holt’s “School Is Bad For Children” first published in 1969, shows how Holt wants to convince his readers to children are in the wrong for going to school. “Dull and ugly place, where nobody ever says anything very truthful”(72) and “give them a chance to learn about the world at first hand”(72). Understandable anecdotes, contrast, and comparison are techniques Holt skillfully uses to create a strong, convincing essay.
