Social Classes Persuasive Essay

Decent Essays
If someone is unwilling to learn they don’t have to. This test isn’t meant to limit people and their journey to increased their intelligence. It also isn’t forcing anyone to do something they don’t want to do. The gap is already widening between our social classes. If it’s already doing that what’s wrong with making social classes dependent on intelligence instead of being born into it. There are plenty of rich people that didn’t deserve it. If someone is in the upper class it’s because they are intelligent and they deserve it.
I don’t think that the testing is fair to the kids. One test can determine your entire life and thats a lot of pressure. If you mess it up it will ruin your chances at going into a field that interest you. I know

Along with districts having restricting factors on who can and can’t attend their school, there is the finical factor that a lot of people forget about.
