Persuasive Essay Conclusion

Sample #1

Many may suggest that sports keep students engaged in learning, that sports force students who want to play to be academically involved. This is sometimes the case. But yet again it sends the wrong message: learning is merely a vehicle to playing. Is that what education is about? And the requirements to play are always so pathetic anyway. Pass most of your classes. Is that all we expect of our youth? No, the time-honored tradition of sport and school is no longer viable. Schools in America have fallen too far behind to be able to sustain any level of success while hiring teachers who are either bogged down by coaching, or simply incapable of teaching while being highly capable of coaching. The priorities of schools must be to teach students skills, ones that don't involve a bat and a ball.
