In some parts of the United States, students are being encouraged to start thinking about how to get into college when they are in middle school or even grade school. Some high-school students and parents agree that starting early to prepare for college and career is essential, while others argue that starting too soon may contribute to burnout. Do you feel that you should have started earlier to prepare for college, or do you agree with those who feel that high-school students now face a "college admissions frenzy"? Write a statement addressing students and parents at your school, making a strong case either for or against getting an early start on college planning. Remember to anticipate and answer opposing viewpoints.

Collage has always been the one way of life for school. Each year we force college as the only way to get a good job or for a "proper education". Yes, college is great for people who want to go the increased education or Special degrees. Though for some people college can just blow up in their face, whether it is the fact they are unprepared or they just don't learn that way. What we need to understand is that each person is different and has different ways of learning. Some times the best education is taking vocational education. We need to make it an option for children at a young age, telling them that's it okay not to go to college.

Explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
