CLAIM: Schools and universities have a responsibility to discourage students from pursuing fields in which they are not likely to be successful.

Write an essay explaining how much you agree and/or disagree with this claim. Be sure to give specific evidence and reasoning to support your opinion.

Examples and hints

This question is great for using an alternative structure in your answer. An alternative structure simply means that you start your answer with evidence and reasoning, and wait until the end to state your claim. (The claim becomes the conclusion.) It's called the evidence-first or claim-last pattern.

Practice using this structure in your writing.
