YOU ARE A SPEAKER ON THE TOPIC :IT IS BETTER TO ATTEND A SCHOOL NEAR YOUR HOME THAN THE ONE OUTSIDE YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD. WRITE YOUR SPEECH FOR OR AGAINST THE PROPOSITION. IT IS BETTER TO ATTEND A SCHOOL NEAR HOME THAN THE ONE OUTSIDE YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD
Mr. Chairman, Distinguished listeners, Ladies and Gentlemen, I say good day to you all. I rise at this August occasion to move the motion which states that : It is better to attend a school near your home than one outside your neighbourhood. My stand is based on the points discussed below ;
First, there is no traffic problem when one attends a school near one’s home in cities like PortHarcourt, where traffic jam make the students go to schools late. At times, students get to school after two hours of lessons. Consequently, the students are given corporal punishment which act as cog in the wheel of progress of the affected students as it leads to falling standard of education. Ladies and Gentlemen, living very near one’s school will prevent truancy in short there is punctuality to school.
Unnecessary transportation fare is out of the way when one attend a school near one’s home. In cities like PortHarcourt and Lagos transport fare is too high. In PortHarcourt alone, the journey from university of PortHarcourt Choba to Rumuigbo cost as much as 500 naira to and fro. That means it cost 2500 weekly and over 4000 monthly. At the end of the day, the cost of transportation alone is higher than one’s tuition fee. The fare also is relatively higher during scarcity of fuel. The alternative is to rent an apartment close to school. A child who lives near the school he attends is more beneficial to the family than a child who attend school far from home.
A child whose school is close to the home will wake up to help the parents to watch their cars, cook, mop before going to school, while a child who goes to school outside his neighbourhood will have to wake up at 4.30am to beat a traffic jam. Many a time, he would sleep when lessons are going on while the one would attend a nearby school will have full concentration on his studies.
Parental care is enjoyed by students who school near their homes. Their parents will monitor their movements and prevent them from joining bad gangs. Such student cannot join secret cults. This is very much unlike students who attend school far away. The later are either living in the hostel or rent a house on their own. This is the major factor responsible for cultism in schools. School children believe in the adage, “out of sight out of mind “. So, they misbehave as soon as they leave their parents.
In conclusion, their is no doubt in my mind that I have been able to convince the audience including my learned opponent and of course the doubting Thomases that it is better to attend a school near one’s home than to attend a school far from the neighbourhood. Thank you for giving my speech attentive audience.
