What are the benifits of education in the United States?


There are many benefits of education in the Unites States, I can only name a few. One of them is that it is FREE. Another is that you are required to go until you are a least sixteen. Also, you learn a lot, which will help us succeed in life. Not many people realize this, but we are very lucky to have the the education like we do here.

An advantage in America is that public school is free. Well, it is for the most part because some of the tax's our parents pay go to public school. However, most school can help pay the expenses of school supplies and field trips. This helps a lot of Americans because you will need to know a lot of the basic skills to get a job.

It is the law to stay in school until you are at least sixteen. This is very important because you are almost "forced" to be smart. Also, as long as you are in school for the amount of years you will hopefully learned a lot of important information by then. Another reason to stay in school is because you probably don't want to be referred to as "the high school dropout."

To succeed in life many people would want to at least have a high school diploma show in your office, work, school,etc. A majority of the time good paying jobs require that you are highly educated by showing you high school/collage diploma. If you don't have one of there you probably won't get the job. If you say-work as a cashier at food lion, you probably would want to know how to count change. Education comes up a lot in our lives, and most of the time you will want to have a diploma.

Many people take for granted of what we have while few others realize how fortunate we are to go to school. Most schools in the United States are free; while in places like Nicaragua you must pay to get a quarter of what we learn. When you think about it, all of the "dropouts" just quit and give up. If you don't have an education then you can't get a decent job. My parents always tell me to never give up, and that's why I chose to write this essay.
