Feild Trips

Persuasive writing topic:
  
    In order to save money, your superintendent on the Edison Schools is  thinking about canceling all field trips for all school because of the budget cut. Write a letter to your superintendent persuading him or her to allow students to continue attending field trips. Give at least three reasons to support your position.

Dear Superintendent Dr. Richard O’Malley,
   
    “ We must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy”. ( J.K. Rowling). You choice regarding no field trips is not right. In behalf of  our students, it is a  request  that you do not put a stop to the field trips. We all agree that with the plenty of budget cut you should cut some activates in or after school but please do not cut field trips.  It would be a  imprudent thing to do. Field trips are educational in some way. . We get to meet our other friends and best of all we need a break from staying in school for five days in a row. 


       Education comes first. Without being educated we wouldn’t be able to do half the things we can do today. Schools provide this for us. Well, sometimes we need a break and we go on field trips since we been trying our best the whole year. Cutting field trips is not a good idea. In some sort of way it is educational. We all learn something from it. We get to learn about the world around us and enjoy. Recent studies show that fieldtrips provide the same amount of education as a full school day. The opposition  to this statement would say that you could learn about the world around you if you and you family went to the same place. Well, it wouldn’t be the same with family. You wouldn’t get to be with you friends and enjoy.

Being with friend is what everyone enjoys. During field trips we learn and enjoy. With friend we could understand the things we didn’t understand. We could meet new people and make new friends. The opposition to this would say that you meet your friend everyday. Well, meeting your friend in school is much different then being with them the whole day.


Learning could get a little boring once in a while. Even if some field trips are educational  and we get to learn in a different surrounding it does get a little tiring. Just how adults get tired of working all day, students get tired of being in school. The opposition to this statement would say that kids are in school less then parents/adults. Well recent studies proves this wrong.  Eighty-five present of the time kids are more tired then adults. It might look like they are more active and they have more energy but it is wrong.   
   
    Your choice on no field trips is wrong. Field trips are educational in some way,  we get to meet our friend and we get to have a break from school. Please listen to the student and make a wise decision. Just remember what you do will effect the student in a positive you negative way.

                                                                                                                     Sincerely,
