    Argumentative Essay: The Tyrant Of Room 25

    When in the course of class history, it becomes necessary for the students to cut off ties with the school. We hold the truth to be self-evident that all students are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator by unalienable rights, that among them are the pursuit of good grades, fairness, and happiness. Students allow themselves to be ruled by the teachers in order to protect their rights. The office is created to protect these rights instead of taking them away from the students. When the rights are being taken away from the students, we have the right to break away and form a new government. The tyrant of Room 25 have broken the social contract by making unfair rules, stopping us from learning, and rushing the due date for homework. The tyrant of Room 25 is corrupt and too strict. His rules are evil and his actions cause many if not all to suffer. He is horrible at grading and is and bad at teaching. His ways of teaching are making us dumb and stupid instead of gaining knowledge. We, the…

The security guards treat do not treat us with kindness. They are feared by my fellow students who are too afraid to speak up against such cruelty. The teachers who don’t reach for our full potential have added to our rebellion. Our voices and suggestions are not heard by the principal or his followers. The rules that the school requires us to follow has contributed to our rebellion. Lastly, not every student is treated fairly.…

    The High Dropout Rate for College Students

    Everyone should believe that our education is crucial being that this would actuates the amplitude of progress of an individual’s civil and industrial contentment. You can’t tell me one specific person who would not want to have a degree under their belt along with attaining a very high paying job in the future. What a lot of people fail to realize is that prior to accomplishing a degree, and reaping the benefits, adversity as well as many different problems has to be conquered first. These same adversities and problems are the leading causes why most college students were and are still unable to graduate and they just give up and dropout. That is because when starting school they don’t prepare themselves for these things so when they come along the most inconsiderable thing for them to do is give up. The cause of students dropping out of college is not entirely the student’s indiscretion alone but comparatively with different circumstantial and social elements. Overall dropping out of college is a huge issue for many people today and in this paper I will discuss the many causes why there are high dropout rates and the remedies there is to empower us to finish (www.solutionsforamerica.org).…

    To Be an Iskolar Ng Bayan

    Here in UP, we often see students fight and protest for a higher budget for education from the government because this would directly affect every single one of us iskos and iskas. A part of the annual education budget of the country is meant to subsidize our UP tuition. The relatively low tuition fee here in UP is due to the fact that our government pays for some chunk of our supposed tuition; therefore what we have to pay for ourselves is a lower fee. However, looking at things in perspective, it is not really the government that subsidizes us. The money of the government comes from the Filipino people, our countrymen, so we owe our education to them. Their money is used to allow us to study here, therefore we are their scholars; we are scholars of our countrymen and of our country, hence the term “iskolars ng bayan”.…
