Persuasive Writing: Why kids shouldn't get paid to go to school

Persuasive Writing - Why kids shouldn't get paid to go school:

This is an option with which I completely disagree.I disagree with this option because I believe that if you were given the choice between getting paid to go to school or coming to school to study, you would select the money. But this is not a wise decision, we didn't go to school to get paid, we went to learn and receive an excellent education. You could acquire a job or go to university if you get a decent education to learn about the advantages of your future employment many people may disagree with my viewpoint, but I believe we are too young to get paid at this age; if money is more important to you than your education, you will most likely fail in high school and will not be admitted to university.  

Kids our age may be immature when it comes to spending the money we have. What I mean by "immature" is that they won't buy anything related to school or school supplies. Kids will be more concerned with money than with school, which will hinder their education.

Task Description:
