High school students should have the choice to drive to school whether they live in area with bus service or out of area without bus service.In today's society kids in highschool play bigger roles than most kids who walk the halls,High schools should realize a student's situation before making a move to ban driving to school.
Teenagers today-In some households- help play bigger parts in their family,to help relieve stress for their guardians.Most students have siblings that are younger and might attend school down the street from them,having the student being able to drive to pick their siblings up would relieve their parents or guardians from one less point on the check-list. Me being in highschool I personally know teens who have bigger
To begin, students will have much more free time in their evenings if Drivers Ed was offered within school hours. Teenagers would be able to complete more homework, work longer shifts at their job, and be able to hang out with their friends more. Teens would have more learning opportunities such as: doing
The film Fruitvale Station written and directed by Ryan Coogler, tells the story of a young African American man that was shot and killed by a white police officer on a subway platform. The film is based on the true story of Oscar Grant, who at the age of 22 years old was killed by a police officer on the Fruitvale station platform in San Francisco, California. The film shows how Oscar lived a tough life, but still had a caring heart. At the start of the New Year, Oscar wanted to change his life, and make better decisions. Unfortunately, he was a part of a situation that led to him being in police custody, and shot by a police officer. Oscar Grant’s death caused many protests and riots in the Bay Area against police brutality.
Many schools across the country have been implementing the “no pass/no drive” law for a few decades. Under this law, state officials have the power to confiscate student's driver's license if they have poor grades or too many absences. This law is thought to help decrease the state’s High school dropout rate. California should implement and enforce the “no pass no drive” law to all public high schools to decrease dropout rates.
This would lead to a large amount of traffic in the area. The danger would be increased because of the fact that these are largely inexperienced, teen drivers. You would also risk the teens who don’t have transportation, and decide to walk somewhere for lunch, being hit or injured by these cars”.(crystal lamborado) in a school district of 11,000 students in suffolk county they stopped allowing students to go off campus because of a lunch time car that killed 2 seniors and another
The state lawmaking body ought not pass a bill that would require a man to win a secondary school confirmation before he or she could get a driver's permit because of the way that it is a disadvantage. Folks would need to drive kids more places and the children would take more time to grow up.
Many teens in the US are employed part time while also attending high school. Having a license enables these teens to get to and from work, job interviews, or even in some cases become employed in the delivery business. USA Today reports that while 30% of teens have jobs, employment rate is still falling. Increasing the driving age would only decrease the number of teens in the workforce. Surprisingly one third of those teens working, do so to support their family. Without proper transportation these teens would be forced to either miss more school or work less in order to make ends meet while still
Children are the future of America and the world at large, but as we move these kids up from Kindergarteners all the way up to adults we often overlook the astonishing 25% dropout rate in the United States. There have been many different solutions put forth to solve this but one that is widely used across the country and accepted is the no pass/no drive law. The no pass/no drive law would make it so in high school if you do not attend class often and or fail classes you will get your driver's licence taken as a teenager. Many people are in favor of this law but in truth, a law like this would be a bad idea. I believe that this law would be inadequate, and there are much better solutions than this
Right now in the United States, we have started a hard economic time. Many people are getting laid off and lots are losing their money. If teenagers were able to drive by themselves, they could find a job and transport themselves their without a parent. This would save the parent’s time and they wouldn’t have to spend their own money on gas since it isn’t their car. This way, we will be teaching our children responsibility also. The parents can also have their own teen
People should have a high school diploma before they get a driver's licences for two reasons they are, some people are too immature to be handling a driver's license, some people who do have a driver's licence but no car sometimes don’t really have enough education about how to drive cars, but for a counter claim ;however, Most people would learn at a younger and better age to drive than those who learn to old and have some difficulties remembering.

Driving school was quite the experience for me. To say the least, it was extremely interesting. I learned so much from this course, which I did not even know I could learn so much about driving in four hours! Throughout my paper, I will talk about the main topics that I learned and what I expect to make me a better driver.
The article has no statistical evidence to support the ideas they provided. They also offer no statistics on how the revoking of a student’s license has made a positive impact on a student’s academic life. Therefore, I think taking away a student’s privilege to drive is unfair and would have minimal effect on improving their academic
Should the minimum driving age be raised? In the article Traffic Safety Facts the NHTSA states that, 5,864 15 - 20 year old drivers were involved in fatal crashes in 2008, which is a 27% decrease from the crashes in 1998. This is still a big number, and has been tried to be reduced by New Jersey, but ended up not doing much, and instead added and increase of car crashes to an older age group. The minimum driving age should not be raised to allow teens to gain experience, learn responsibility, while staying safe altogether.
Teen drivers have the mentality were they are untouchable when behind the wheel. But it’s obviously to much to handle for them because when it comes to the facts to many teens die a year. In 2007, 4,200 teens in the U.S aged from 15-17 were killed and 400,000 were treated in the E.R for injuries because of car accidents (“Motor vehicle safety, Teen Drivers, page 1”). This just shows how irresponsible teens are while driving. In a national survey 12.5% of all high school students rarely wear seatbelts, this just asking too get hurt in case an accident happens (“Motor vehicle safety, Teen Drivers, page 1”). This just shows how teens have a bad mentality while driving. In 2005, 54% of teen deaths occurred between 3 p.m. and midnight on a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. This statistic shows that one more reason why a teen would want there license is to get to a party or go
Diseases such as smallpox and polio have killed hundreds of thousands of children in the past. Now thanks to the vaccines these diseases are eradicated. But even eradicated disease can come back if people are not vaccinated. A disease is never truly eradicated, there is always people from other countries coming into the United States and they can bring any number of illnesses with them. Take the example of polio I used in the last paragraph, polio should be one of those diseases that is eradicated in the United States. Someone in that Amish community probably did some mission work in another country, contracted polio and brought it back to the United States. One person is all it takes to make an illness that we believe is eradicated to prove to us that it is not. It is important to continue vaccinating children to keep harmful and deadly diseases like polio from resurfacing. International travel and immigration keep diseases like polio alive in the United States even if we have eradicated them on our own soil.
