...Expensive Cloth Students’ parents spend hundreds of dollars every year on clothes for their children. They wear these clothes five days a week, seven hours a day. Schools have turned to making their students wear expensive and uncomfortable clothes just because it keeps them more “safe”. Schools have had uniforms for a long time, but now schools are taking it to far by forcing families to spend hard earned money on clothes their kids only wear to school. Keeping kids from being themselves at school. Schools should not have dress codes because it limits students’ self-expression they’re expensive. Wearing a uniform limits self-expression and personal style. Students need to learn to be themselves and standout from the rest of the crowd. For example, “Children are always taught to break free and standout. But with uniforms, the schools are actually lobbying the opposite” (Listland 1). If uniforms are teaching kids the opposite of what they were taught while growing up then clearly...

...Ninety eight percent of kids on America and in the world spend the first eighteen years of their lives between the two homes; their house, and their school. And if you think about it, a student actually spends more time at school than at home on a school day, five days a week, 9 months a year. Because most of the time he spends in his house, he spends sleeping, so more than 60 percent of his values and behaviors is being earned at school, from the teachers, which are all second fathers and mothers to their students. Schools in general do their best to maintain a healthy, warm and safe environment for their students to interact and learn, using each and every individual of the staff members to make it as convenient as possible for the kids to spend their times. Whether it’s the principle, teacher, nurse, security guard, or janitor. And the simplest thing for us students to do in return is to behave ourselves and be as much respectful as possible to each other and to the teachers. However, there are some students who don’t cherish all the advantages they get, throwing away the nice treatment they receive and just try their best to make a mess. Overlooking the fact that there are other students in class who actually want to learn, disrespecting the faculty members and most importantly reflecting a very bad image about their parents and their manners. I think that such students should be taught that a classroom is a learning environment and should be treated as such. It is not...

However, there is a post named "The Case Against High-School Sports" written by Amanda Ripley, which are on a website named The Atlantic. In this post, the main idea of the author is that sports are taking too many times and money in schools and that makes some negative impacts on students, schools, and society. In this post, she claims that she can see the benefits of high-school sports and these sports are becoming likely more important than other academics in schools. However, she has wondered about a trend that participating high-school sports too much could lead to some problems. Although high-school sports are beneficial, students...

...A new and better way to learn ~Bobbie H.~ “No, I’m not going to do it. You can’t convince me, there is no way I’m going to put her through that. There is no way I am going to home school my daughter,” says Regina Lowenstein, 34. “I want my daughter to have every opportunity and Homeschoolers have no future.” For many people, homeschooling is seen as bad thing, depriving children of experiences and leaving them without a diploma. For several reasons, many people believe that home schooling is bad for their children. They say that it prevents their kids form socialization, their children don’t do as well in school, and that home schooling is too time consuming and costly, yet that is far from true. In truth, homeschooling is a great opportunity for your children and can actuality improve your child’s learning abilities. First of all, one of the main reasons parents say no to homeschooling is time. Most parents don’t have the time to be sitting at home all day and teaching their kids. For them, public schooling is much more convenient, since children can be in school when parents are at work. Yes, home schooling can be time consuming at first, but that is only as you are getting used to the switch. In truth the younger your kids are, the more time you spend with them, so why not spend that time helping them learn and having fun. Many homeschooling programs are a lot of fun for both the parent and the child, involving many fun and enjoyable activities, like art or playing games...

...private colleges. So look to this as an option. Second would be living in colleges. A student in college usually would try to find work in between to cover the cost of living. It is something that should be considered before going to college because you have to think of things like rent, food, bills and other travel costs. A common student would need an average of $1,000 extra for these extra expenses. Third are the materials you need to study. These are the givens like books, bags, IT equipment and could cost to at least $2,000 a year. So it is important to be able to budget before you go to college. Make sure you leave yourself some extra money monthly for self use. Try to find a monthly average of your expenses so you could allocate your funds accordingly. Going to college is a big investment but in the long run the education you get would allow you to get bright opportunities when working which can make your life and family. Students could also try to get student loans, or grants to help out aiding the financial needs in college. I've researched many education grant opportunities and am really excited about this one.

...to be at the bottom. To be homeless or without a job. We dream, we set up goals, and willingly devote 100% of ourselves to making a brighter future for ourselves. Through our early stages of life, we are given roadmaps to success. In order to reach point B (figuratively), you must start at point A. Point A is typically school. There’s pre-school, elementary school, middle school, high school, college, graduate school, etc. Point A is where I currently reside. It is the point where you either fail or pass. My leisure history and most of my existence has been focused on achieving a better quality of life. That is life where I am educated and have a financially successful career. I view leisure as the ability to succeed in any career I chose as long as I put the dedication and sacrifice needed. I am goal oriented because I come from parents who work very hard in unskilled jobs. They have sacrificed most of their life to make sure I will not have to struggle financially.

A full 44.8 hours a week, more than how much time you spend at your job or at school. To help you get an idea, you work on average for about 40 hours a week and you go to school for about 35 hours a week (5 days in school week).

...Name: Nguyen Thu Trang Class: 14E12 _____________________________________________________________ WRITING ASSIGNMENT Version 01 Task: To what extend do you agree with the statement: “School is bad for students?” Support your claims with appropriate grounds and warrants. People may think that children must go to school; thus, almost children go to school every day (this sentence has a problem in how you express the idea) However, arguments have persisted as to whether school is good (can be replaced by 'beneficial') for children or not. Although there are convincing argument on both sides, I strongly believe that it is bad for children because school not only prevents children’s creativeness, but also has negative impacts on children’s (their) health. Most of (omit) educators claim that school is encouraging children to be individual and different (how does school encourage children to be individual and different? I think you should clarify this a little bit); nevertheless, it is a fact that school is crushing (stifle/ inhibit) kids’ creativeness ( can replaced by 'creativity' to avoid repetition) by asking almost (virtually) all of them to do the same things and not accepting creative children’s characteristics. The majority of students are cast in the same mould made by educators, thinking that model is standard for people who children will be. (express in a clearer way). These acts (not suitable) are the root of being not interested in exploring new ideas or...
