I have read Idiot Nation, by Michael Moore. The writing is about one mans opinion on education. He writes about how the government, local school boards and students themselves are taking or making money for the education of our younger generation.
Mr. Moore is against how the government is taking more money away from the schools. Leaving poor buildings that are not up to standard, deceases in salary for the teachers, and overcrowding in the classrooms.
I could not get a feeling on the opinion of the school districts in Colorado Springs entering into contracts with large corporations. I see it as a good way of making money for the schools and having better educated teachers. If the school board pays a good salary, it is rewarding for the teacher to stay and teach their. Instead of going off to some other place that pays more. More money means more learning resources to. Updated books, more computers, and a better learning environment.
I had a little trouble with the last part of the writing. I don't think that kids should be making alot of problems with clubs. Yes, I do believe that the younger generation is smart and can do alot of things with their minds. I do not think that they need to be taught that they can do great things without proper supervision and thought. Don't just dive in. That is the way life is. You will not graduate school and start making a large salary right off the bat. It takes time, supervision and thought.
This writing is only one mans opinion on how he thinks. To me it is just another opinion.

I think that you are right on when you say this is just one man's opinion and you really brought to light that we are all entitled to our own opinion. I have mixed feelings about the contracts that were made in Colorado. From a health care standpoint I always worry about childhood obesity, but just as you said it is a great way for added funds in the education system. I enjoyed reading your response.
ReplyDeleteI disagree to a point on whether or not kids should go make problems with the clubs. If the kids are content with the way things are then of course they shouldn't. If they aren't then they should stand up and make themselves heard. That is the only way to hope for the changes that you believe will make things better.
