Argumentation #2
Let me tell you what we need Mr. Dier. We need to have a huge celebration after the AP exams. If we were to hear those exact words from your mouth, it would be music to our ears. In fact, it would be harmonious. This is not an exaggeration. This is not a mere joke. Moreover, this is not some playful suggestion. We need a party. My fellow classmates and I deserve a rest and it is irrefutable that you would need one as well. Everyone needs to relax. Otherwise, our stress level would fly off the charts! In addition, this celebration can be something to look forward to after the AP exams. According to Mrs. Frankenberg, typically when students have something beneficial to look forward to after the exam, their stress level tends to decrease. Thus, a better result on the test. If you actually considered this idea and decided to allow this celebration to proceed, students would like you even more. Thus, you would receive a better attitude, a better reputation, and overall a better day for both you and the class. Furthermore, if this party was established, it could assist in reducing stress by forgetting about the AP exam in general. For example, after the SAT, several of my friends and I walked to Starbucks and Subway. We hung out for a while and during that time, we had completely forgotten about the SAT and felt as if it was another weekend with friends. Although, an individual may argue that the students who don't try, don't deserve the party. This reason isn't a justification. Instead, we could still have the party, but you could exclude those who don't try if you desired to. No, I am not forcing you to establish this party, nor am I demanding you to. I am simply informing you that having a celebration would be intensely rewarding. Consider this a proclamation by one of your students. Contemplate about it. Contemplate about the anxiety in which students undergo. Contemplate about the tension you undergo. Finally, contemplate whether we need this celebration or not.

Not...while the argument you establish is very convincing, it fails to consider the opposing view that, in life stress is normal, get used to it. In life, no one celebrates the taking of a test, they celebrate the passing of the test. In life, your hard work will most frequently be rewarded with more work. In life, you need to be cognizant of the whole issue even when you're arguing for just one side.
ReplyDeleteI dare to disagree Mr. Dier. We are at a time when parties are starting to dissipate, we don't know the true value of our work anymore. The argument of getting more work the harder you work doesn't translate to high school when we all get the same assignments of the same pedigree. Stress may be normal and later on in life we will need to learn how to overcome it, although we are mere students at a time of our life were we are growing not just physically but mentally. Being students overflowing with hormones, we are unstable. Even the media recognizes we aren't fully developed as we can't even order anything off of a commercial without adult permission. This is time in our lives where we need support to deal with overwelming stress. A party may not get rid of all of our worries but will work similar to tylenol, getting us ready to start work again next day.
