by Nicole Albarran Did you know that the school system has not changed since 1868 unlike how other technology from the past has changed over the years? For example a car used to be carriages pulled by horses or donkeys, but over the years it has evolved into a car, which is run by gas, driven by humans and it now has glass windows and steel doors. However, a classroom from the past was a room with desks that are in nice and straight lines, the students had to raise their hands if they wanted to speak which is not so different from the classrooms of today as proven by the pictures. In addition, when Barack Obama was the president of the United States, his secretary of education Arne Duncan and himself thought that the school days should be longer. As a matter of fact one of Albert Einstein’s famous quote is “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” this quote means that every student is special but if you grade them on the same thing as everybody's else , and fail they would believe that they are not smart. Additionally, one reason why the school system is failing is that they are teaching students so they can work in factories, they do this by teaching every kid to work the same way they are taught without letting them find their own way to a solution and by giving them a certain date to finish their task. At the end of school,students who were different and unique would end up being the same as everybody else. Now this is my question to you, is the current school system helping you learn?

I agree with this because no one really thinks the same, people need to find new teaching solutions.

No it's not all we do is review stuff. I don't understand why we even have to take ELA classes, I already know how to speak, read, and write. We should make English classes only for people that don't know how to speak. If we do this then schools won't have to spend so much on English teachers.
