Question

'The policy of no detention till class VIII is not in the interest of students.' Write a debate in 150-200 words either in favour of or against the motion. 

Answer 1

A very good morning to jury members, friends, and my fellow opponents. Today, I am going to speak for the motion 'The policy of no detention till class 8 is not in the interest of the students'. Firstly, let me tell you what the no-detention policy states. The article states that no child shall be held back in any class or expelled from school till the completion of elementary education. The step was taken to reduce stress and pressure among students, but the policy has led to poor outcomes, as there has hardly been any improvement in the academic standard. It has encouraged negligence and reluctance of children to study. A student develops a carefree and an easy going attitude, with an automatic promotion system up to class 8, and in class 9 he is unable to change his attitude suddenly. They fail to cope up with the academic pressure and end up doing badly in board exams.

I, therefore, firmly agree that the policy of no detention till class 8 is not in the interest of students, as it gives security of passage to the next class, regardless of a child's competence to learn higher concepts.
