Here's the first batch of three:
Rose’s placement was a mistake, and telling anyone their not
good enough for mainstream education is a mistake. Both Rose and Douglass felt like
they had no meaning, because they were outside the mainstream, when in reality both
had worth far above the norm and only needed a push to reach their potential.
To be educated is to have knowledge; yet day in and day out
the public education system does not give America’s youth knowledge, but rather
a series of test taking skills and strategies to exceed on college level entrance
exams.
With the class came a workbook filled with practice tests and
study material.

ReplyDeleteA person will only do what is expected of them and because Rose was accidentally placed in the vocational track, he was only expected to do "average", yet he exceeded those expectations. Rose and Douglass both felt they had no meaning, yet they were both exceptionally smart and all they needed was a push to reach their potentials.

The public education system doesn't give America's youth knowledge, it only teaches them how to take tests and exceed on college level exams. Education is to have knowledge and to be able to apply that knowledge in the real world.

All the class consisted of was a workbook of practice exams and study materials.
