Persuasive Speech: Students Need No-Drive

479 Words2 Pages

Good morning/afternoon Mr/Madam Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen, today we will be discussing how driving privileges should not depend on or be connected to grades and attendance. One reason we should not have No-pass, No-drive laws this is because the effective and because each state has its own way of implementing these policies. For example in the article “NPDP Effective Answer to Dropout epidemic?” states that Arkansas requires students to have a minimum GPA of 2.0 (a C average) To get a license and never checks students grades again. Another example is, in many stations are not specific enough to be effective. In addition, many state students only have to attend school until they're sixteen or Seventeen, therefore teens can choose to drop out instead of forfeiting their driver's license. Additionally, we should not require students to do well in school in order to acquire a driver's license because it punishes students who are already struggling in school.

For example, in the article “Rules of the Road”, by Sheena Jefferson states that 2,000 schools in the US are responsible for more than half of high school dropouts. These areas are located in places with poverty,gangs, drug abuse, and family problems.

What is the opposing side has stated that No-pass, No-drive laws will improve the graduation rate in high school students. However, this is not accurate because these laws punish students who are already struggling. For example, Cara Roberts (spokesperson for Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce) states that kids who are struggling in school should get vocational education instead of punishment. According to “No-pass, No-drive:Effective Answer to Dropout Epidemic?”, by James Marshall

    In this letter, the author argues that all students should be required to take the driver’s education course at Centerville High School which is a mandatory program sponsored by the high school to solve the teenage driving problems in the town of Centerville. He supports his argument by presenting some evidence, however, there can be a number of flaws in his argument, rendering it unconvincing. First, the author assumes that Centerville High School students should take driver’s program because several accidents in and around Centerville have involved teenagers.

    Public school is one of the primary sources of education for many children in the United States, therefore it should be the school 's sole purpose to teach them the essential elements they need to succeed in life. This means more than teaching math, science, history, and English. A school, primarily high school, must provide courses that focus on a student 's future career plans, courses that challenge a student academically, and courses that help a student navigate their life as adults. Without classes that help students expand and delve into their future career choices, they can limit their views of success. An excellent example of this can be found in Jonathan Kozol 's Still Separate, Still Unequal, particularly in his interviews with the students of Fremont High School in Los Angeles.

  • No Drive Law Pros And Cons

    333 Words  | 2 Pages

    Today well over 50% of the states in America have a “No Pass, No Drive” law, and these states are experiencing great success in terms of education. A “No Pass, No Drive” law, or NPND, is the official name for the law that requires students to pass with a ‘C’ average before driving. There is no better way to provide a strong reasoning behind the support of NPND legislation than to observe the effects in states that are currently happening. One of the biggest arguments against NPND is that it gives students on the verge of dropping out one more reason to go through with the decision. However, this argument is very flawed because NPND actually does the exact opposite.

    Out of Ennis High School’s 345 students class of 2013 graduates, 43 of them were disabled. This means that out of every graduating class, about 12 percent of them are disabled. The disabled students have a graduation rate of over ninety percent, which is two percent higher than the state average for non-disabled. However, Ennis ISD has a tendency to hold back their disabled students, especially in kindergarten, where nearly one-third of them are retained, and first and second grade. These retention rates are way higher than the state averages, but this leads to almost all of them graduating, so this policy must be

  • Sheila Kennedy Minimum Wage Essay

    From her investigation, she discovers that “low-income children growing up in states that have greater income inequality are dropping out of high school at higher rates than are children living in states with less income inequality” (Kennedy). Given that the wealth gap is constantly growing, many people in the lower and middle class will struggle to climb the ladder to wealth. Many students that struggle economically would drop out of school if they “perceive a lower benefit to remaining in school–even if they aren’t struggling academically” (Kennedy). This is horrible for those who study well in school, yet they have to drop out since their family is in need of financial assistance. Students are not at fault of this since they cannot choose where they grow up.

    Driving at Sixteen Driving at 16 is a right of passage steeped in tradition. For decades, teens have received their driver 's licenses at 16. While some might say this is too young and seek to raise the minimum age to 18, generations of teens have successfully managed the responsibilities of driving. The minimum driving age of 16 should not be raised because it would increase transportation problems, keep teens from fulfilling responsibilities, and prevent oversight of new drivers.
