CXC English Argumentative Essay

Expulsion should not be used as it deprives students of their right to an education, wastes their time, and exposes them to negative outside influences. Expulsion directly contradicts the idea of education as a right and can prevent students from gaining jobs or attending other schools. It also gives students free time during which they may be exposed to gangs or criminal behavior, leading to higher crime rates and harming society. A better alternative is needed that does not exacerbate existing problems in the education system and students' lives.

No student should be expelled from school.

Education is an integral part of a person's life. In today's modern society, an education is a


guaranteed ticket to success. However, I believe that expulsion only leads to the development of
more problems and the cons far outweigh the pros. Mainly, expulsion leads to: the deprivation of
education, wastage of a child's time and the misuse of this time.

The great Martin Luther King Jr. stated that, "Education is a right, not a privilege." However,
expulsion completely disregards this statement. It deprives a child of vital class time, hence
depriving a child of their right. Education is necessary for success, as shown is a recent study
done by Harvard University which states that," Something a simple a High School diploma
increases your ability to attain a job tenfold." So why must we strip a child of their success?

Secondly, expulsion wastes a child's time. For example, children have been expelled for simple
offences such as: using their cellphones, violating dress codes or even respectfully disagreeing
with teachers. Expulsion should only be necessary for few cases. Furthermore, a child is then
sent home and may actually become reformed, and understand the implications of their actions.
But now what? They are unable to regain entry to their former school, and the fact that they were
expelled, divests their potential to attend another school. They cannot obtain an education, they
become unproductive and burden their guardians. Do you want to raise a liability?

Finally, with their newly attained free time, children provide idle hands for the Devil's work.
As stated by Charles Stone, a leading Behavioral Scientist at Princeton University, stated that,
"On average, 20% of children are exposed to gangs, and this percentage triples when they are out
of school and idle." These statistics are staggering as well as unfortunate. With increased truancy
from school, and exposure to gangs, skyrocketing crime is inevitable. Additionally, increased
crime leads to decreased employment and a deteriorating society. Would you like to live in a
future of rampant crime and warlords?

In conclusion, as disseminated in the points above, expulsion is outdated, and is a tactic which
should no longer be employed as it only brings forth more agony. Tradition should not incite
malpractice, so let us vaccinate this sickness to our already disease stricken education system.
