• The Con Side accurately reports various factors in why a high school student may drop out prematurely from high school, and yes that is correct. However, what the Con side fails to realize is that those factors he lists from his South African study are still in fact CAUSED by…
• Although there can be many existential factors that can lead to a normative high school drop out rate, I argue that "parental irresponsibility" is the factor that chiefly contributes to this phenomenon. I agree that the dropout rate is not *solely* attributed to parental…

• Look at our wasted society, war , hunger, greed, accidents, School and money are behind that. And Education might be useful ONLY for jobs, but school is not education it is a waste of time because we learn stupid things like 'when was the war of japan?' And if you fail an exam…
• School is a fu*king waste of time don't go there you will ruin your life , teachers will make you suffer by giving you homework which is useless and you learn nothing, and all the people that say that you need to go to school for your future they are idiots! Fu*k school!

• School uniforms are unnecessary because: 1) How does school uniform help school officials to recognize students faster? In any ways, it would make it harder because school uniforms look the same and it would be harder to differentiate one student from another. 2) Schools these…

• How can you confidently say that people don't wear the same quality uniform? Do you have any evidence? Ok, even if people don't wear the same quality uniform, then this might result for the principal to setup some consequences like detention, seeing the student back home, or…
• By saying "Cliques lead to all sorts of problems, such as bulling, exclusion, and more." you are saying that not wear uniforms can lead to bullying and the act of excluding which is as same as my point. Thanks for supporting me anyways. The fact that you say that uniforms are…
