The Conclusion
In the conclusion of a persuasive essay, it is beneficial to address the opposing argument. The best way t teach you this is by example. So, remember my thesis statement was:
school should start at a later time because grades would improve, students would be more enthusiastic and students are not getting the recommended hours of sleep necessary for their health.
For the conclusion of this essay, I am first going to address why school's maybe SHOULD start at 7:30. I do this because it weakens the "comeback." Example:
I understand that many people might think starting at 730 is a good idea so kids can get home earlier and have time for after school activities. However if students are not productive at 730, isn't it just a waste of everyone's time? Education is so important that we should adjust schedules for other activities to best educate our children and give them the best opportunity for a bright future.
