Writing: AN OPINION ESSAY

The government plans to introduce school on Saturday mornings aren't right ideas now adays, if they want to improves the level of education.

In first place, I believe that if the government aproves this law, most of students and the teachers, would feel worried about that. I think it's a good thing to have free Saturdays. Many years ago children had to go to school, but if the government make this day free, I think that was for a good reason.

If the aim of the government is to improve the level of education, they aren't right because the motivation of teachers and students won't be good.
As far as I'm concerned, it's good to don't go to school on Saturday morning, and have some of relax from school.
