Dear Editor,
My name is Alli Pettifer and I go to John Black Public School. Have you ever wondered, “Why am i in school? , do i really need school ?, I should just drop out ? Well before you do that ,think about what you are doing ! I know, I Know, you have to wake up early and complete a ridiculous amount of homework , and if you don’t finish it on time you will get barked at by by your teachers , and what is that mystery meat in the cafeteria? Think of all of the good things in school, you get knowledge , and think about that feeling when you get a good mark on a test you studied so hard for, and you will feel so much more accomplished if you finish school. School will help you get a job when you are older, and it will help you get into college and university. Did you know that 191,000 people aged 20 -24 dropped out of school in 2009? Without school people don’t receive the basic skills you need in life, such as reading, counting money, writing ,and working with others .So yes, you do need school, and you are in school so that you can get an excellent job when your older ,and finally no you should definitely not drop out ,because most people drop out because school is really hard for them and they don’t do well in school ,but just remember that school is hard right now but it gets easier, you have to get through the hard times to get to the good times !
