Reflection of Task 3

My focus is wanting to talk about how in school most students cannot get the same education as the other students that gets better oppurtunites and how students graduate high school not performing as well as they should be and being left behind in the real world. That's why I disagree with Botstein and his story about letting students gruduate at 16. He also says they should cut out middle school which is 6th and 7th grade and after elementary and go bstraight to high school. I disagree because if you do not let the child mature enough they will be lost in the real world not knowing which way to go. He says let kids try adulthood. There's a reason why it's a childhood and a adulthood it will not work. Right people are not being able to perform in college like they are suppose to because of this new rule that they made up. The NO Child Left Behind rule. This rule was made so that the student would be passed no matter how much they didn't get it. That's the reason why we have alot of student's that's so far behind and now Botstein is talkin about cutting it even lower so we can get out even earlier than what we are already is now it doesn't make any since. We have to extend the school years in high school so we can learn all we can. And get rid of that NCLB rule to protect oue student's better than just throwing them out in the world expecting to make a change.

  1. HI Arion,

    While I do not disagree with the claims that you make, what sort of personal experiences can you bring into Task Three to connect with the author you have chosen. You mention NCLB and students should not graduate at 16 -- because of these claims, why do you believe that. What personal experiences can you pull in to support these claims?
