Persuade me!

Subject: Why school children shouldn't get $100 pocket money a week.

Hi Alice, I think that children should get $100 a week. I think this because it would be a great argument because each side has a equal right of persuasion and certainly is worth it!

Parents' side:
Parents have the right not to because they earned the money in the first place. Children could end up using it irresponsibly (with or without noticing).

Equal persuasion:
Parents have the right to give them $100 or not because basically they own they're children... Although kids should have it because it will come in handy later in life.

Childs side:
Children have the right to be trusted with $100 if they will use it responsibly. They can volunteer with major chores if allowed, or go to relatives or just elderlys house to help with vacuuming, food ETC. I think kids deserve it because they have had a hard day at school, although they do need education and it will come in handy later.

  1. Sophie, I really like the way you have organised your ideas and seen all points of view. A good evaluation of all sides. 'Equal persuasion' do you mean it could go both ways? Which side are you on?
