Teens should not have to go to school

Rebuttals 1* "Where ever they would like to be, with or without there parents consent. " I don't believe that is a good idea. I mean letting a teenager whether he is fourteen years old or sixteen years old, still it is a horrible idea to let teenagers go wherever they wish. 2* "They could just exercise a lot, they could be on this website arguing if that's what they would like to do. " If they go to school they can exercise there. School doesn't take up all the students time, so they can do what they want to do after school. 3* "As I do realize if a teen doesn't go to school they have a lot of free time on their hands, but why go to a place where you learn nothing truly needed. " You have time after school to do what you want to do. Also even you said school teaches something "This is because 99% of the information taught is not needed. The 1% being math/algebra, but only to an extent. " I believe that school gives you free time afterward and you also learn at school. 4* "And what exactly is it teaching me other than the 1% math/algebra that you could use in quite a few situations, off the top of my head, doing taxes, or working out prices for items. People sure don't need to know what year Christopher Columbus traveled to America to survive in today's society. " School is created there to teach the students what they need to learn in general. If a student wants to learn history to become historian then they can at school. School gives you variety of classes to take so yob can choose to focus more one the one that you want. If a student changes their career from a mechanic to historian then the school's basic teaching at least prepares the students for such an event. 5* "Anyone can learn English, writing, grammar, by doing simple things as watching TV, or just going on the Internet. " This is a false statement because how does anyone learn English by just going on the internet or watching TV. There is so many shows that are filled with bad grammar and doesn't teach you anything. If a student stays home to go on internet to learn about the economics or watch the news, it is more efficient for them to be at school where they learn more then what they can learn from the internet. 6* "As far as the foreign language thing goes, there are many programs such as Rosetta Stone that you can learn a variety of languages from, while still being in the comfort of your own home. " If you say that the students will try to learn by using Rosetta Stone it is basically like you are making a school for them. Through out the argument you gave ways that they can study other than by going to school. School does all that you have mention and gives a foundation for the students to have. 7* "All I have to say to this is that if you get tired from walking indoors for periods of time, it is just sad. " America is facing a obesity in every states and even if it is sad, that is the truth that many teenagers are obese. If they go to school that would all change. School gives daily running and other exercise. School also provide many other ways to get healthier such as school sports. If a student is obese he or she would not wanna want to exercise, but if they go to school they have no choice then to do so. . http://www.buzzle.com... 8* "How exactly is this? By wasting their time and making them work hard for nothing? " School gives a basic foundation you need in the future. Like I said in #4(rebuttals) that there might be a possibility that a student might change their career and the education that they received in school gives them some form of knowledge that helps them. They don't work for nothing, they work for their future. 9* "Yes, along with school you can gain friendly relationships, or more than friendly relationships, but you can also be exposed to fights, drugs, and very bad behavior. An example I have is through my high school years I have seen countless fights, 1 of which a kid had gotten a fractured jaw. I have seen many classmates get into marijuana and skip school, or just get into a lot of trouble with their parents or the police. I know of one who has been into Juvie and jail several times. With going to school there is a higher chance of being injured, having your life ruined by drugs (possibly) or being exposed to gangs, weapons, etc. " I agree that these situations might happen, but I believe that if a student is allowed to do what ever that they want then the situations changes completely. Like you said "Where ever they would like to be, with or without there parents consent. " I believe this act is going to get the teenager in more trouble then going to school. I mean who is more likely to get in dangerous situation a teen hanging out with gang members or a teen studying at school. I realize that there is illegal activities at school, but there is even on the streets where the teens will be if they don't go to school. 10* "One last thing I would like to say is that with the internet, school is definitely not needed. There is countless sites where you can learn math, science, languages, music, workouts, etc. " Interne is a double edge sword, one side is what you have stated that it is helpful, the other is the evil on the web. Even if there is countless website that teaches you, there are even more countless website that contains inappropriate things such as porn, violent videos, and so much more. The pro of going to school defeats the con of not going to school. It was fun debating you Tmass19.
