Diversity Should Be Taught In Schools Essay

In one way or the other, schools are like prisons (whichever you prefer.) However, I don’t mean it in the teenage definition, where pre-pubescent kids complain about the lack of taste in their lunch food or the endless hours with rowdy figures in their cell. I mean it in the way that, sometimes, school can be vile with not enough space or education that you desire. That’s the key. Education.

The U.S does not have to pay for foreign students to study here, but instead these students pay three times as more as in-state students on their own. This may not seem like a lot, but our four percent of university foreign students let the US make 9 billion dollars. Not million, but billion. Remember, studying overseas, does not technically mean also living overseas. You see, there are three different types of visas. The F1 visa allows you to stay 6 months for academics. The J1 visa allows you stay 12 months for practical training. Finally, the M1 allows you to stay up to 18 months for no academics. Studying overseas is not permanent but instead takes visas. A debate lately is whether or not foreign students are welcome after Trump’s ban caused a little chaos among them, which is why studying overseas for a limited time doesn’t affect
