In your local newspaper, a letter to the editor includes the following statement, "Working a

part-time job while going to high school is one of the worst things a student can do if he or she
wants to earn good grades."
Write a short argument either for or against this statement. Be sure to include a clear claim and
to provide and respond to at least one counterclaim. Use specific details from your own
experiences and observations to develop your argument.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

"Working a part-time job while giong to high school is one of the worst thigns a student can do if he/she wants to earn good grades."

I don't think so!

As it is clear, students have a clear understanding of their boundaries if they do put themselves into a situation like this one. Like myself, I have done this before, and can relate to why I belive this isn't true. As I know, I have went through the process of thinking this over many times and have seen the pros and cons to it:

PROS

- You won't have to worry about finishing 100 hours!

When you apply for highschool (i don't know if all highschools do this) they have a(n) assignment for you to be able to graduate, and in order to do that, you must do 100 hours of part time.

- You worry less about not having experience!

Sooner or later students have to know how to do things on their own, so those who have done it before, have a sense of what their going to do.

- Not good grades, but can still make good money!

Students will likely want to help out and know how to handle money, so they'll probrably decide to get a part time in order to learn, and educate themselves, for the future! You are now learning ang gaining money!

If students working for a part time job didn't know what they were getting themselves into, and knew it would effec ttheir grades, why would they evem bother trying to get a part time job in the first place!

- Education & Money

- Learning everyday

Students will learn daily tasks and accomplish many things that are to come in the future!

Students will also learn how to manage their time wisley, how to work smarter, not harder, and multi-task!

Hope This Helps You!
