Question

Imagine you're writing an appeal to answer if students should be allowed to skip their senior year. Construct a rhetorical question that appeals to both students and administrators.

Answer 1

Students have dedicated years of their lives to studying. Regardless of whether students want to pursue higher education or enter the workforce, what benefit does one extra year of studying really provide? Advanced students often take classes at the community college where credits will transfer to a university in conjunction with their highschool work. Those who want to enter directly into the workforce won't learn anything in their last year of school that they will really need.

Answer 2

I think that the teachers are always easier on the seniors and they give them better grades than they deserve, often passing a student just to get them a diploma. Why do the teachers even give them any work anyway? If they are not going to be held to the same standard, why have a standard at all? Let students finish the 11th grade give them the diploma and let them call it quits, unless they choose to attend college.
