outrageous and it should go down immediately. Due to the high prices of textbooks, according to (Bidwell) 65 percent of students have decided against a book for a required class, and 94 percent said they were worried about their grade because of it. Most teens don’t get out of high school looking to pay hundreds of dollars on books for college. It’s just complicated and kind of a waste of money. So, in this paper, I am going to talk about the benefits if college textbooks were free. Most students
draft of 1st essay Professor Morazzini Public Colleges Should be Free Recently, President Obama announced his proposal of making community college free for many students. It draws a lot of people’s attention. People are arguing about whether students should be able to get a free higher education. (In the united state, students can have free education until grades 12.) In my view, I think that the United States federal government should use the public
Why College Should be Free Free college tuition would encourage more people to get a higher level of education, reduce the crippling debt people pay for college, and would greatly improve the country as a whole. In 2012, the average college graduate had a debt of $29,000 hanging over their head after they completed school. This debt, mixed with the poor job economy, leads to poverty and stress. When people graduate from college, they’re supposed to find a job and start a life. This is a very
A college education is an imperative necessity in today’s society. Students all over the country are concentrating on their academics and are striving to get perfect grades in order to earn a degree, yet it has become increasingly difficult to do that due to unworldly college fees and debt.

written essay by Linda Riley. Riley twists and constructs her words in such a way that makes the story float off the page. The author's personality shines through the context in a cascade of vibrant and enticing words. At the the beginning of this essay, Linda believed that college was going to be the height of her adulthood. Throughout her high school years, she had a splendid time and thought college would be no difference. She was under the illusion that college would involve more free time, friends
Pressure The most important thing in these days is college; anywhere you go the first question you get asked is about your education. Just the idea of that puts a lot of pressure on college students, to think it is the one thing that decide if an individual is going to succeed or fail in life. By that I mean getting rich or not ignoring the things they love to do. In the essay “College Pressures,” William Zinsser claims that the pressure on college students is under four main points: economic, parental
Free Speech In our lecture, we have learned about free speech movement in the first unit of this quarter. The leader of this movement was Mario Savio, and he was an American activist and he leaded people in the Berkeley Free Speech Movement. Because Katherine Towle banned the off- campus political activities, this action made students in UC Berkeley got mad. And that was the main reason for Mario to start a speech about their free speech rights. In my opinion, I think Mario’s behavior did a great
In William Zinsser’s, “College Pressures,” he talks about one of the pressures plaguing college students is self-induced pressure. I was so determined to write essays of excellence that I made mental errors that brought my grade down. As I have progressed through school writing has been my Achilles heel.

Amanda Ripley argues in her essay, “The Case Against High School Sports,” that allowing sports in high schools is the reason students in America are scoring far lower on standardized tests than students in other countries (Para. 4). In her analysis, Ripley covers both the causes and effects of this problem, arguing that America should take sports out of high schools in order to score at the same level as the academically top-ranked countries (Para. 39). Ripley’s argument, while compelling, has many
Cyberbullying’s definition and its term usage were already established in the first part of the essay. The second part of the essay will focus on arguments whether school policies as aided by legislation from the State are effective in terms of implementation. The first argument tackles the loopholes of the legislation against cyberbullying acts. The problem with failed implementation lies on how the legislation was formulated. Laws are ineffective if provisions are not well-crafted. According to
