Question

read these excerpts from two passages. should you work during the school year? \working while in high school isnt all positive. morales points out, unfortunately, there are only so many hours in a day. i have more homework this year and its harder, so that means less sleep. also, i miss out on things like games and dances. getting stressed from having to balance school, work, family, and friends is a real possibility. managing your time and prioritizing your activities will reduce the chances of this happening. furthermore, many jobs open to high school students, like cooking hamburgers, certainly arent glamorous. it could be easy to develop a negative attitude toward work in general—and such an attitude might harm rather than help your career goals. its important to remember that you will be gaining valuable skills and experience that you can use later in your career.\ 8:30 should be the new 7:30 \it is 7:30 a.m. at a high school in new orleans, and carrie guidry slides into her desk in her english class. the teacher begins a discussion on an author carrie really likes. yet five minutes later, the freshmans eyelids start to droop and her head begins to nod. carrie had to wake up at six in the morning to get to class on time, about seven hours after shed fallen asleep. at that pre - dawn hour, she felt so exhausted—as she does much of the time. however, shes struggling to keep up her grades, and shes already had several absences, so she gave herself a pep talk, rolled out of bed, and eventually staggered into class. according to research, theres a good reason that teens like carrie guidry arent ready for instruction at 7:30 a.m. in fact, the evidence is solid enough that no high school in the united states should start any earlier than 8:30 a.m.\ what is a common theme in these excerpts? the large amounts of homework that high school students have. the pros and cons of having a job during high school. the negative effects of stress on high school students. the causes of lack of sleep and how it affects high school students.
