答案 Should All Students Under 18 Receive a Full-time Education? Education has always been cast in the spotlight. These days, whether students should stay at school until adulthood has become a hot topic. Those in favor of the idea believe that the prolonged full-time education is conducive to the mental growth and career development of young people as well as the reduction of unemployment rate, but those in objection claim that the measure may increase individual financial burden. As far as I’m concerned, it’s advisable to extend the full-time education, which can benefit the students, their families and the society at large. First, everyone is born with innovation potential, but how to develop it well depends on the postnatal influence from education and environment. Therefore, the continuous schooling before 18 years old can exploit their potential as fully as possible. Second, to some extent, full-time education ensures the physical safety of students, which can relieve parents’ concern. Last but not least, as it helps reduce the number of high school dropouts, the rates of juvenile crime will decline accordingly. In conclusion, the merits of extending full-time schooling prevail over its underlying demerits.
