Please draft a MLA 2 page (5-6 paragraph) argument paper on a topic of how early dismissal times should are beneficial for students (phrase it nicely). Students will experience improvement in their studies if earlier dismissal times are utilized. Don’t do research for this assignment or use sources just use your head. If you do look at academic sources you MUST cite them.
Feel free to follow this rough outline.
Intro- Having schools dismiss around 3 will cause students to do better in school. Students will experience improvement in their studies if earlier dismissal times are utilized
Pros- They’ll have more time to pursue hobbies and relationships, homework, and “me-time.”
Con- Not as much learning can get done when students are dismissed early. Refutation- Quality over quantity. 7 hours of learning on a good night’s sleep will be more impactful than 9 hours of learning on a lack of sleep and personal time.
Conclusion- Earlier dismissal times will enable student to ultimately do better in school by having more time to meet their
needs.
