Last class we talked a lot about education. It was a very compelling conversation. We started reviewing and putting together our ideas about what we had learned from the book and what we thought about it. With that being said we all loved the book's stance on education and makes it very enjoyable on how it was brought up. In class, we all agreed that it was a very informative and sometimes unfair way that people were taught back in the day. Often times receiving useless information. Its crazy to believe and hear that back in the day people actually got useless information in school and even information that was outdated or even as much as remembering a phrase. In today's day in age, we take that for granted. Kids these days take classes that are so much more beneficial than it was back in the day. Yet we as students dare to complain. Every class we take and sit through we become brighter humans and can use all these things to get better jobs throughout the workforce. Back in the day, even schools appearance were very low quality compared to today. It was basically falling apart back in the day and people still went to get quality educations.
Today we all judge things by their covers not but what they can offer us. Now people don't pick schools because of how old they are and often prefer private newer schools because it and their education and pockets take a toll because of it.
Oscar,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your blog, I enjoyed reading it and wanted to read just a bit more.
I would have loved you to have expanded your blog by linking your comments to specific text and references in the reading. Perhaps you could have included some of the words and phrases that you found significant (and why) pursuant to the founding and development of the common schools in Section I, and how the discussion related to your analysis.
