Some people say that children should stay in school until the age of 18. Others suggest that educating children until the age of 14 is enough. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

The appropriate

age

to leave school

life

has been a great matter of debate for some time now. Parents are in dilemma as to when should they take their children out of school- at 18 or 14.In

this

essay we will discuss both the views of the debate and I will tell why I think the

first

one is the better option. Almost every year after high school (

that is

an

age

14 minimum), parents start to think whether they should continue their

child

's studies or should they drop them.Indeed,

this

may be a good idea as the

child

has learnt the basic knowledge to survive. He or she can bow take any standard job and earn a simple living.People who prefer basic

life

tend to spend less on their

child

's discipline as they think earning a livelihood early in

life

will make them independent and

also

they will be a help for the betterment of the family.

This

is mostly the case with the middle class and joint families who have less earning and more mouths to feed.For them backing out from school at the

age

of 14 is a good idea, but they can lose out on some big opportunities in

life

due to lack of proper education.

On the other hand

, well to do families or people who want to achieve greater heights in

life

tend to opt for higher education and degrees. These students and their guardians have higher aims in their do list. As it's a well known fact that degrees are essential to take up reputed and high level jobs in

this

world, children happily accept the offer of higher learning and colleges. In my opinion, the debate is clearly won by people who think children should study up to the

age

of 18 and above. Higher education not only benefits the

child

and family, but

also

plays a vital role in the progress of society and in turn contributes to the economy of the country.
