Everyone should stay at school until 18. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is usually thought that all children should stay at institute until the

age

of

eighteen

.

Although

staying at

school

until adulthood can produce a figure benefits, I personally disagree with

this

idea for a number of reasons, which will be outlined in

this

essay. On the one hand, the idea that children should continue to study at institution until the youth of

eighteen

does have a number of benefits.

Firstly

, most young people under the

age

of

eighteen

have very little real-world experience and have very little intention of what career they will pursue, and

therefore

staying at

school

until the

age

of

eighteen

will allow them

further

opportunity to develop their education and time to decide upon a suitable career path.

Furthermore

, forcing children to stay at seminary until the youth of

eighteen

will create a more educated future generation of people which may help to reduce some social and unemployment problems.

On the other hand

, there is

also

a figure of drawbacks that

this

idea may bring with it.

For instance

, many children these days do not fit-in with the current education system and forcing them to participate in

school

can cause many problems.

For example

, these kinds of students are usually very disruptive in a classroom and

this

affects other students who are trying to learn.

In addition

to

this

, many children choose to follow careers that do not require them to continue studying in

school

past the

age

of sixteen.

For example

, for those who wish to pursue a career that requires more practical based learning,

such

as a qualified builder, electrician or machinery operator, it is quite unnecessary to remain at academy until the

age

of

eighteen

. In conclusion,

although

there would be a number of positive effects of children remaining in

school

until a later

age

, I personally feel that the drawbacks outweigh the benefits mentioned above.
