Research into space exploration is very expensive. By spending millions of dollars on space
research, governments are not using extra funds to help improve the lives of their citizens.
In Australia, for example, some people in remote areas still have limited access to medical
facilities, and money should be spent on this rather than on space exploration.
Although many people think that it is better to work at home rather than go to an office,
it can be quite lonely. It is very social at an office. For example, many companies have staff
parties and other activities for people to talk and make friends.
Firstly, in single-sex schools, girls can focus solely on their academic tasks without being
distracted by boys. This is particularly important in senior years when students are preparing
for university entrance. Girls should be working on their studies rather than deciding which
boy they like or whom they want to date, for instance.
