My Thoughts on Eduction
! personlly think being well educted is must" E#eryone should h#e n e$ul
opportunity to h#e higher eduction" %igh school& in 'ct& does help you 'or the rel
world nd sets you up 'or good 'uture" %owe#er& with tht being sid& high school hs
lot o' 'lws" Now when you(re tlking bout college it cn be n issue 'or number o'
people 'or resons like not enough money& no time& or simply don(t think college is 'or
them" )ut& the biggest reson in my eyes" is the 'ct tht college is so e*pensi#e"
Eduction in tody(s world is n importnt spect becuse lot o' +obs re$uire more thn
high school diplom"
My opinion on eduction nd lerning re not ll positi#e" ,ne o' the problems !
strongly belie#e in is tht stndrdi-ed testing is something tht should not be
re$uirement 'or students in high school" Not ll students lern nd retin the sme wy& so
why do ll students h#e to tke test sying wht they should know" With tht being
sid the kids in specil ed clsses h#e to tke the sme stndrdi-ed test" Some o' those
kids cn(t e#en red or count pst ten" %ow is tht 'ir 'or them to tke test they cn(t
comprehend. This test is intended 'or the students in the stndrd high school clsses& not
'or the kids in specil ed with lerning disorders" ! 'eel there should be nother wy 'or
techers to pro#e they re teching their kids& not one test tht only certin kids cn pss"
! remember when ! ws in middle school& there ws test tht with e#ery $uestion it
Stickle

would decide your ne*t $uestion" !t ws not generic test with the sme $uestions 'or
e#ery child" ! 'eel tht kind o' test would 'ind out i' the student knew the curriculum
rther thn stndrdi-ed testing& nd i' they honestly wnt to test kids on there lerning
ech yer" Tht wy the test is on the student(s le#el nd they won(t 'eel like they need to
guess becuse they don(t know the nswer"
/nother problem tht ! 'eel like needs to chnge& is ! belie#e tht the go#ernment
should help py 'or college" ! know tht ! cn(t py 01&000 or more ech semester& nd !
m sure& !(m not the only one who hs to use pennies to py tuition" )ut there re
criminls behind brs tht get to use our t* money to get their college degrees but the
people who h#e ne#er committed crime don(t" Now ! do not think e#eryone in
/meric should h#e 'ree ride to their degree o' choice& but ! do think tht i' you cn
brely py your bills or 'eed your kids you should get better brek cost wise then
h#ing to use student lons nd some 2/S2/"
!n high school ! 'iled miserbly" !t ws constnt struggle 'or me to keep up with
the clss" ! ws one o' those people who lerning did not come esy to" ! hd n
!ndependent Eduction 3rogrm& which is +ust wy to mke sure ! lerned t my own
pce" !t ws nice thing to h#e but it mde me 'eel like ! hd n esy wy out o' doing
the hrd work my other clss mtes hd to do" Now tht !(m going to college& ! knew !
hd the chnce to continue with my !E3& but& ! decided not to nd succeed without help" !
know !(m cpble nd cn do the work it is +ust going to tke lot o' hrd work nd
dediction on my prt" 4eciding to continue my eduction nd go to college ws
something ! wnted to do but ne#er thought !(d ctully be doing" This is big step in my
li'e" / big reson ! did decide to 'urther my eduction& ws tht ! don(t wnt to h#e
Stickle

mediocre +ob 'ore#er" Now tht ! h#e bby& ! h#e to think bout wht ! cn do 'or her
to help her h#e e#erything in li'e she needs" She is the reson !(m getting degree to
become skilled t more thn working register" ! wnt her to be proud o' me" )ut more
importntly& ! wnt to 'eel proud o' mysel' knowing tht ! m the best ! cn be" To be
honest& ! m not totlly sure wht ! wnt my degree to be in yet& but& this is my 'irst yer
in college nd tht(s big decision 'or nyone to mke"
!n conclusion& my #iews on eduction nd lerning& re tht there re lot o'
'lws" Stndrdi-ed testing should not be round nymore& i' the go#ernment wnts to
mke sure our techers re teching correctly they should mke test tht goes with ech
student(s wy o' lening" ,n nother& note college tuition is big thing 'or lot o'
people" 2or some& it(s mke or brek going to college" Not e#eryone hs the money to
tke one clss 'or college" !t(s e*pensi#e& ! know i' ! didn(t h#e help 'rom my 'mily !
would not be ble to ttend" So& i' 'elons cn get 'ree college& why cn(t we get tht
pri#ilege lso. ! will ne#er understnd how you cn be in trouble with the lw nd be
rewrded with 'ree college" ! would like to be something in my li'e& mybe chnge the
world in some little wy" Tht(s why ! think being well educted young womn in
/meric is something to be proud o'" ! think there is stereotype tht only men should be
educted nd mke the money 'or 'mily& but& women need to h#e the sme
opportunity s those men" 3lus& being one o' the 'irst in my 'mily to get degree& would
be something my 'mily would be #ery proud bout"
