Answer 1

Oh, this isn't for real... just your debate class. OK. (Please work on your spelling, grammar and sentence construction)

Unfortunately, I think you are arguing for the wrong side. The top students should be rewarded. So, you will have to think differently.

Perhaps argue:
- Grades are not everything. Schools should look at personality and potential, not simply past academic performance.

- Money talks. The wealthy should be able to buy their way into the best colleges, despite their poor grades.

- Support local kids. Students should get priority acceptance to their regional colleges before considering other students.

(Don't these sound crazy? This is why the system is the way it is.)

Good Luck,

Answer 2

You could argue the point that there is more to making a good graduate than intelligence. Some highly educated people are real jerks and some are wonderful human beings. Argue that perhaps other factors could be given consideration and count as much as or almost as much as grades. These factors could include volunteer work in the community, active roles in student councils and clubs, etc. This would lead to an increased percentage of students graduating college and moving into the professional world that truly care about the people around them and they'd be in a position to make the world a better place.

Answer 3

You have asked a a question, "Need help with protest ?", which is actually a statement.
I hope this is not an English class

Answer 4

Dear Harvard Dean of Admissions:

I strongly urge you to take the lead in a major reform of America's system of higher education, by relaxing your high admissions standards for Harvard. Your current admissions policies are doing a serious dis-service to your students, the nation and the world.

As arguably the most prestigious nation in the country, and perhaps in the world, your institution trains many of the future leaders of this and other countries.

In order for those future leaders to perform well as leaders, they need to have a good understanding of their subordinates. They will not get that understanding by dealing only with their peers during four very formative years of their lives.

In order for your graduates to have a correct understanding of the real world, I urge you to drastically modify your admissions policies as follows: for each applicant selected through rigorous criteria, one non-traditional applicant should be admitted.

The non-traditional applicants should be carefully selected to typify characteristics not normally found among your elite applicants.

The non-traditional applicants should possess such qualifications as low grade point averages, poor attendance in school, very limited mastery of speaking, reading and writing skills, and a history of convictions for violent felonies, with subsequent time spent in jails and prisons.

Under these new admissions standards, your student body would be enriched with an influx of students who could educate your elite students about aspects of life with which they are unfamiliar.

In order to make this program work, each traditional elite student would be matched as a room-mate with a non-traditional student, and they would be expected to alternate weekend visits to each others' families and friends.

Just think of the social benefits to be seen! Imagine a crown prince of an oil-rich emirate spending a weekend robbing 7-11 stores, or the new experiences that a young drug addict would have visiting his roommate's family in their $6 million apartment overlooking Central Park in Manhattan.

Thanks for considering this proposal.

In my next letter, I plan to urge that you abolish your tenure policies, in order that you may more effiiciently remove inappropriate teachers in the manner in which the Greeks got rid of that liberal trouble-maker, Socrates.

Answer 5

Track down those people who either never went to college or didn;t stay that long in college
