Should Bachillerato students be allowed to leave the High School during break time?


Recently, many High Schools have banned Bachillerato students from leaving school during break time. This is an issue which Bachillerato students have clear opinions about.

On the one hand, if Bachillerato students leave the High School, even though it is just for half an hour, they might not return, or they could be unpunctual to a class. Besides, they might have an accident and the the center is in charge of them.
In addition, many students who are in Bachillerato are not eighteen years old, so it is more dangerous for them if they go out.

On the other hand, if students leave the High School during half an hour, it helps them to change the setting and they will not feel oppressed when they return to class. They can work harder.
Moreover, they will feel it as an example of being trusted.

Personally, I believe that if the students are responsible and punctual in their classes, the headmaster could allow them to leave the High School during break time.

Nowadays, Bachillerato students cannot leave the High School during break time because there is a new law that the Government has passed on that matter.
Two years ago, Bachillerato students could leave the High School, even if they were underage.

On the one hand, I think that this new law is correct because before it some students could have an accident during the break time and the High School could be accused of it. Besides, parents were not aware of their children's attitude.

On the other hand, Bachillerato students want to stay separate from Secondary students and feel freer. They think that leaving school is a way of showing their maturity.

In conclusion, it is important that students who are not eighteen years old are not allowed to leave the High School because if they have an accident, the center would have many problems. Moreover, we have to think that students are safer inside the High School.

Bachillerato students want to leave the High School during break time to have more time without younger children and be free for a little time. But their parents and their teachers do not want this because it can bring problems to them.

On the one hand, Bachillerato students want to leave the High School during break time because this fact makes them feel responsible. They want to be without children younger than themselves.

On the other hand, their parents and their teachers do not want it because this would cause that Bachillerato students have an accident during this time and the responsible person would be the headmaster of the school.

In my opinion, if Bachillerato students show that they are responsible, they should be allowed to leave High School during break time.
