Everyone should stay in school until they reach the age of 18. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
With the rapidly evolving modern society creating chances for amassing wealth and
thus
opening avenues for elevating social status, an increasing amount of people tend to believe that it would be fine for those under 18 to not attend school
. However
, in my opinion, schools
have indispensable values for teenagers.
Schools
establish robust foundations for the student’s future. For example
, school
education prepares them with better employment prospects after graduation. Almost all companies today would deem a college diploma as essential for recruitment since it represents years of formal training on an extensive range of skills. In contrast
, although
short-term upskilling projects or apprenticeship programs could equip school
-age students
with livelihoods, they could also
reduce possibilities for students
.
Besides
, schools
foster teenagers’ psychological development by offering them a relatively secure environment. In other words
, interacting with peers under the guidance and supervision of teachers would give teenagers a sense of security and belonging, which augments their cognitive capacity. Nevertheless
, early exposure to the harsh reality beyond school
will put adolescents in unstable and uneasy situations where urges for self-protection instead
of learning will be engendered. Consequently
, the student’s overall
ability is decreased, and with this
their quality of life.
Most importantly, schools
offer a platform to experiment, meaning that students
could try whatever they want at school
and apply the experience gained from these trials to their forthcoming work. For example
, they could try to interact with diverse personalities to discern the most collaborative type, leading to valuable insights in the future. Moreover
, school
is the only place that tolerates mistakes. When students
become employees, they need to be vigilant of all the possible malpractices as such
behaviour could engender consequences that far exceed school
students
’ capacity to bear.
In conclusion, everyone should stay in school
until they reach 18 because schools
prepare you for the future better and offers a nearly risk-free environment.Submitted by yangbowen251 on
