Snow Days Persuasive Essay

543 Words3 Pages

Snow days, are they over? Snow days are soon going to be replaced with E-days. E-days are days that you have to stay home because of the harsh weather so instead of staying home and watching tv, you can learn from home. So with that said, I think that E-days are a good idea. This essay will explain to the reader that E-days are a good idea because they 1.help save money, 2. the program has worked and is liked, and 3. they help protect scheduled vacations on the calendars.

First this paragraph will explain to the reader that E-days save money. One reason is because on regular school days the school has to pay for the school bus drivers and the gas that goes into the school bus. I know this is true because since no children get picked up, no gas on the busses will be running and the bus drivers wouldn’t need to be paid because they aren’t picking anyone up. Another reason that E-days save money is because the lights and electricity is on in the school. Some proof is that since no students or the staff is in the school, there is no point in keeping the generators, lights, or any electricity on. So E-days help save money.
Second this essay will explain to the reader that the the E-day program has worked and is liked. One reason is because more than 500 schools in pennsylvania and 29 schools in Indiana have tried the …show more content…

Since students are not at school, the school doesn’t have to pay for any of the expenses plus, E-days help save our scheduled vacations. I think that my strongest reason is E-days protect scheduled vacations, I know this because they count as school days so there you don’t have to make up the day that you “ missed”. After reading this essay I hope that the reader will consider talking to the school board about E-days replacing snow

    My first argument I would like to discuss is about how it would affect farmers if the TDSB switch to a year around school schedule. According to the USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture), small family farms average 231 acres; large family farms average 1,421 acres. So, because farms are very large. In the summer when the crops grow in, because the land is big, farmers require help and can’t do it by themselves, so they wake up early and their students help them pull crops and do the work that is too much for their parents. Though if the TDSB switch to a year around school schedule.

    Critics of the shortened school week point to the fact that children who are at risk, especially those having learning difficulties may not be able to get the most out of the new program. As it might seem, 4-day school weeks would work best for kids who are self-motivated and would not serve the needs of those who do not learn in the same manner. This means a lessened focus, which can cause grades to drop. It also means that there is a higher cost for parents. Though schoold districts can save money with four day school weeks, it is the other way around for many parents.
