Stay in school? The issue of necessity staying in school has been in the headlines for decades. I agree with those why say that it should be a personal choice of a student. However, some feel that complete school education is essential. In this essay I will examine both sides and substantiate my opinion. Regarding those who support motto "stay in school" there are many reasons. The primary argument is that decent education provide the better chance to get well-paid job. Additionally, they mention that less educated children are more prone to mess up with drugs and all types of criminal behaviour, thereby less probably are about to become responsible and full-fledged citizens. Nevertheless, I firmly believe that this point of view is poorly grounded. The most obvious reason is that education without motivation is not effective. Unfortunately, children are forced to make a key decision about their education when they really are not ready for it. Too often we can observe students who hate the process of learning and do not feel a slightest curiosity for the subject. They do not feel themselves a creators of own fate and just play a role prescribed them by parents and society. In my view, much better way is getting some working experiences, the opportunity to feel the taste of real life. If this scenario eventually will led a young person to a deliberate decision to continue education - we will get a determined student with clear vision of his (or her) goal. To conclude, my strong belief is that decision about education should be voluntary and responsible. There is no reason to stay in school by any cost.
