People can go to jail by missing class?

Hi everyone. Today, I wrote a persuation speech about that kids shouldn't miss school for a holiday. I wrote a balanced argument meaning that I will try to convinse you that both side are a good idea.

Do you miss school for a holiday? The NSW department of education thinks you shouldn’t. It may even get your parents to jail. Despite how unfair it seems, there are some benefits to this rule.

Most would agree that holidays are a fun and sometimes exciting, but did you know that it can improve your health? Yes, you heard that right. Holidays can release stress, help prevent heart disease, strengthen relationships, make you more productive at work, make you thinner and sleep quality. Releasing stress was an obvious one, but stress is most of the problems for overeating. Stress hormones such as cortisol does affect weight gain and fat.

Stress doesn't only cause overeating, it also increases heart disease. Scientific tests on men and women going on holiday showing that holidays can decrease the risk of heart disease and heart attack. Men that often go on holiday were more than 32% less likely to die from heart disease. For women, the digit rises to 50% less likely to die from heart disease.

In England, people are not allowed to miss school for a holiday. If someone did, they would get  a fine of $120. If they didn’t pay, it could lead them to court and possibly to jail. There are benefits to this though, such as helping bad parenting, good education, help social skills and life skills. In some of movies, the main character’s parents are careless or lazy. Sadly, this is the reality for some people. Some parents can’t be bothered to bring their kid to school, resulting on grades dropping.

In addition, missing school can affect social skills. Take me as an example. I use to live in Arthur's Pass, there was no school there so it was only me and my parents. I didn’t talk until I was 4. And I only knew 9 or 10 words that time. Then, I joined school at the age of 6, I quickly learned new words and became the quiet student to the girl who is friends with almost everyone.

In conclusion, I think that both sides have a benefit from simply making you happy to extending your lifespan.

Thanks for reading this far. I hope I convinsed you that both sides have a benifit. Please comment and tell me what to improve on and what I should keep on doing.
