Hi,
I am a newbie here. Please rate my essay so I'll get a glimpse of where do I stand.
AWA ESSAYS: Analyze Issues
ESSAY QUESTION:
“Parents should not shoulder the full burden of their children’s college tuition. If university students are required to pay for at least a portion of their education, they will take their studies more seriously and, ultimately, benefit more from their college experience.”
Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the position stated above. Support your viewpoint using reasons and examples from your own experience, observations, or reading.
YOUR RESPONSE:
The issue at hand debates over the parent's share of responsibility in funding the college tuition fee for their children. While there are different views on this topic, I prefer the suggested approach of getting the children involved in shouldering the responsibility.
Firstly, when parents don't bear the full cost of the tuition fee, it relieves them of some pressure that has been mounting since years. Most parents worry about their kid's college tuition even before their child has started attending school. Some parents are wealthy enough to support their children financially for college fees, however for those parents who don't have necessary funds, it remains as a black spot that lack of money would hinder the progress of their child. The situation is even worse with parents that have multiple children.
Secondly, when children are actively involved in the process of earning money to pay off a part of the tuition fee, they realize the gravity of the situation. A child who has paid for the part of the college fee is more likely to take the studies seriously than someone whose parents took care of the financial matters. A classic example of this would be McDonalds. In the early days of its establishment, McDonalds top executives soon found out that the branch managers considered themselves detached from the branch as a whole and thus were less involved, less responsible and consequently less productive. The management decided to make these managers as the owners of their individual branches which resulted in an upward spike in the profit scale. The reason behind it was - Active involvement.
Finally, the one loose end that this issue has is over the percentage share a child can burden himself/herself with. This is a decision that can be mutually arrived by both parents and the children. Moreover, a team work between parents and children is definitely better than if only one party was involved.
In conclusion, the idea that a children can share some of the financial responsibilities in regards to the college tuition fee with their parents is novel and would certainly help both the parties - Parents by unburdening a part of their share and children by helping them understand the value of money.
