Dear Mr.Marlon King,

Yes, sports should be funded by the school because sports keeps children out of trouble, open up other opportunities, and it keeps children in shape. I have many facts and examples but I choose these three because they are the best reason. To start off, children stay out of trouble by doing extra-curricular activities, because if students really do love what sport they are playing, im sure they will do whatever it takes for them to not get into trouble. Parents wouldnt have to worry about them being hanging out in the streets. Secondly, it opens up other opportunities to children who cant meet the academic needs for a college, you probably know some colleges accept a 2.5 gpa to get, but if you cant meet that and you have good basketball skill or any other skills can get you a full scholarship. Lastly, extra-curricular activities help kids stay in shape, by them playing in the game or practicing can help lose weight, my opinion is that going a team is the best way to get rid of weight. In conclusion, now you see why school should fund extra-curricular activities: they keep kids out of trouble, open up other oppurtunties annd maintain children weight. Now since you have read this you should be glad to fund extra-curricular activities.

SCHOOL ALL YEAR ROUND ! Is not a good idea because some students may drop out, too much stress on some, and we need a long break from school. Im choosing these points because I have strong reason why school shouldnt be all year round. To start off, students are already dropping out for no reason, and school all year would increase the number of students dropping out. Some students have children they have to attend to so they probably drop out to attend to their child. Furthermost, its too much stress on some students. School work, projects, and exams are alot to bury in 360 days in a year, and too much stress also cause them to drop out also. We might have other jobs to attend other then school Last but not least, we need vacation time off from school one or two weeks is not enough time to relax and i think 2 and a half months is enough to let our minds relax and for us to get some sleep and have some fun with our families that stay somewhere else who we can visit. To sum it up, now you see why school all year round is a terrible idea. Simply because may cause an increase in dropouts, too much stress, and time off from school.
