1.5 Formal writng persuasive writing essay

 School is the best way to make mistakes!!!


Do you think school is the best way to make mistakes? I am going to explain why I think these are the best points. It Teaches kids how to bounce back from failure, It won't cause harm if they fail at school, they will learn from it and it teaches kids that life isn't always going to be perfect.


School is the best place to make mistakes because it's getting us kids ready for adulthood. Most kids come into school thinking they won't fail but in reality, we all know we are going to fail at some point. We mainly fail at a test or even an exam. Kids mostly give up when they fail but failure is just another opportunity of bouncing back and coming in twice as strong. For example, if it's a normal test student's don't have the motivation to try since they don't care, School needs to be a place where it doesn't teach kids they need to get the right answers right every time they do a test or even a question. It should be a place that teaches kids how to bounce back from failure If they make mistakes. This will let the children know that it is okay to fail and that you will only come back twice as strong and more determined.


Do we really need to worry about it? Failing at school isn't actually a big deal at all. In fact, it's a good thing to fail, especially at school. How many second chances in life do you get outside of school to redo a test or if you get something wrong? Think about it. School gives you multiple chances to have another go at it after studying. This teaches us kids that we need to work twice as hard to pass the test. For example, If you have a job and you fail you get told off because you know what to do and how to do it. Well, the school has different subjects for us students to learn for the adult world when we have finished school. Failing at school is perfectly fine and normal. Not all smart kids get everything right all the time so why should we try to be someone who we aren't; failing at school makes us work even harder.


Why do we need to fail? Is it to learn from it or just to fail for the sake of it? Most people don't want to fail. In Fact; it's people's worst fear in school to fail, Why, though?. Well, they don't want to get made fun of or get called dumb but that makes them feel like they shouldn't try. We fail because we don't know what to do or we are just stuck on something but failing is another way of learning it's a way of getting smarter. Here's an example: People see success as positive and failure as a negative. Here is a Quote “Edison's quote shows that failure isn't a bad thing. You can learn, grow, and strengthen from your past mistakes''. As you go through life and encounter failures, you'll learn valuable life lessons from those mistakes and overcome them and succeed in life.

If you are wondering why we need to fail or why we fail it's because we learn from them and we develop from past mistakes or the current mistakes.


Growing up, we all have thought nothing will stop us from succeeding but in reality, there are a lot of things that are in our way such as failing at something. Making mistakes and failing in school is to teach children that life will not be perfect and failing will keep happening. We all make mistakes and every one has failed so why is it a bad thing if someone else fails? It's just teaching them to come back harder than they worked and it's teaching them another way of learning. The perfect life doesn't exist. There will always be something in your way at school and outside of school; failing in school is getting you prepared for the outside world teaching us that life isn't perfect because we all make mistakes. We fail a test; we feel anger and anxiety for a while but then we come back. That's what makes life better by trying repeatedly. Children think life will be perfect but in reality, it's far from it. 


In conclusion, These statements are why I think school is the best place to make mistakes. My points were that it would teach children how to bounce back from failure, it won't cause harm if they fail at school, they will learn from it and teach children that life will not be perfect. If children don't fail in school. Then what's going to happen in the outside world whereas everything will be different, therefore, school is the best place to make mistakes to perfect them later on in life.

For instance 

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer uses pathos when we learn that the girl Tom loved treated him "like a dog - like a very dog." His heart is so trampled, he wishes he could die "temporarily." Indeed, pathos leads us straight to the doldrums of Tom's heart.

A commercial about a specific brand of toothpaste says that 4 out of 5 dentists use it.
