Argumentative Essay: Parking In Schools

440 Words2 Pages

Senior Alyssa Botessi eagerly waits for her mom to pick her up from school. She has her driver’s driving license and a car of her own, but there’s one thing she is missing—a parking pass. As soon as she gets home, she jumps in her car and drives to Hart Mmiddle S school for track practice. “I get dropped off at school by my mom, then I get picked up by her and driven home only for me to take my car up to Hhart or Sstoney for track practice,” Botessi said. “It’s very inconvenient with my track schedule, especially this year because not only is part of the parking lot closed, but the track is too, so the Rochester track team takes their practices elsewhere. It’s hard to say when practice ends, so having my car there with me at practice is important.” Even though senior Mariam Kaakarli was lucky enough to have received a parking pass at the beginning of the school year, she has witnessed many of her friends struggle to come up with solutions to their parking pass dilemmas. “For a while people were able to park in the teacher lot without getting a warning, but then the people doing that …show more content…

“At the football game at RHS along with several other big events, people were able to park on the grass. A parking spot on the grass is better than no parking spot at all.” Kaakarli has a solution of her own to solve the issue. “I feel like the school could have come up with some sort of compromise with Kroger,” Kaarkarli said. “Maybe a portion of Kroger’s parking lot could have been reserved for student drivers.” Botessi believes that due to the limited number of spots, parking at the school should be an upperclassman privilege. “I believe that sophomores should not be able to have parking passes. They still have another two years to be able to drive to and from the school, and most people are not able to drive or afford a car when they are a sophomore

Which, Adnan wrote, “took about ten to fifteen minutes.” The piece of evidence I found supports my claim because it clearly states that if you were to get out of class, halls

Competition only occurs when one reaches the junior year of college because the availability decreases as the number of years increase, since Warhawk Academy has exclusive features such as; discounts on books, un-restricted parking, and early access to technology.

  • Analysis Of Donald Shoup's The High Cost Of Free Parking

    714 Words  | 3 Pages

    Discussing the implications of free parking in the United States, Donald Shoup’s “The High Cost of Free Parking” is a work that successfully critiques a specific part of car centric America: free parking. In the first chapter, the readers are introduced to the “free parking problem.” Shoup demonstrates that off-street free parking requirements spread the cost of parking into a higher cost of goods elsewhere and further incentivize the automobile. Furthermore, through the common emphasis that parking must be free, curb parking with no monetary or time limit increases congestion and wastes travel time. By presenting the problems of parking in a way that can be understood by anyone, Shoup shows the vastness of the issue to an audience who themselves

  • Overcrowded Campus Parking Lots

    801 Words  | 4 Pages

    Shortage of parking spaces on a college campus is a hassle. Campus parking lots should be expanded and limited to various campus attendees as well as the implementation of regulations on parking pass renewals. The first proposed solution to overcrowded campus parking lots is the introduction of a pay to park method. With an obvious exclusion to faculty and staff, parking meters should be installed ideally to reduce the number of idle vehicles on campus. Designated locations with parking meters would help utilize the parking areas for multiple individuals during the educational day.

  • Argumentative Essay On School Security

    933 Words  | 4 Pages

    When one hears "school security" these days, the word that goes with it is "tighten." Indeed, given both external threats and unruly (sometimes violent) student behavior, it makes sense to think that the most sensible course of action is to err on the side of more stringent measures, harsher sanctions and less permissive administration. It largely comes down to liability - whenever an individual with a history of troubled or criminal behavior snaps or becomes involved in an incident severe enough to attract government or media attention, many of the questions asked in the aftermath are variations on "why was this person not in jail. " The same applies to schools, where administrators often end up having to justify themselves to parents and
