John Gatto’s “Against School,” is about how Gatto has spent his last 30 years teaching and realizing that most students and teachers in America’s educational system is bound by boredom. He compares schools to prisons and students to mindless drones who only work for the grades or who fail the system. Gatto explains that teachers become bored because they were once those students and they are also part of the problem. John Gatto questions why we even have schooling, “Is this deadly routine really necessary?” If Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Carnegie, and Rockefeller didn’t need an education to become successful, then what’s the point. Gatto’s brief history lesson on how our educational system is a model of 19th century Prussian system is quite interesting.

Before he was energetic and didn't pay attention to anything that had nothing to do with him. Michael seems more mature, aware and mellow since his release. Growing up Michael and I were really close like brothers. We were two of the same kind, at least that's what we were constantly told in school. Michael would be late to class just because of how social he was.
It is absolutely outrageous that teachers are still being paid when they are failing to do their jobs. Lets be honest the vast majority of you would happily take a ‘snow day’ if it was offered to you. Reading task 2 1. Identify two problems that the school closures have caused to individuals. Sarah P was forced to take annual leave to look after the children.
He did not waste his opportunities and proved to be an excellent scholar, particularly in mathematics and the classics. He is noted as being a determined, meticulous hard worker and, although bullied in his younger years due his lack of sporting ability, grew into a very secure, self-assured young man graduating with first class degree honours (Harris, 1977). Following in his family’s footsteps, William progressed from schooling to study law but did not feel inspired by a profession “he saw as having nothing to do with any real problems of difficulties” (Low, d.u/k). In 1906, with much protestation from his loved ones, he chose to work within the progressively thinking “settlement movement” as a sub-warden at Toynbee Hall, situated in the poverty stricken region of east London (Harris, 1977). His role there was the equivalent of a modern day social worker and it was during this time that he used his skills to research, understand and campaign tirelessly for free school meals, pensions and unemployment
"Eminem is a really smart guy, he's misunderstood by most I think, but he's got a lot to say." -Ice Cube EMINEM: A NEW KIND OF HERO As American children grow up and go through school they are inundated with ideas of what constitutes an American Hero—honest, resilient, rebellious, moral, brave, polite, chivalrous, and socially accepted. Eminem, the controversial white rapper, does not fit most of these admirable characteristics of heroism. However, Eminem’s popularity, despite his controversial and offensive lyrics, displays how American’s perception of what it takes to be a hero is changing. Eminem is no hero, not in the traditional sense of the word.
Inman 1 John Inman Professor Sandra Simonds English 101 June 9, 2013 My Worst Job The first job that I had was also the worst job that I ever had. My first work experience was at a Dollar General. There were many things that contributed to me disliking that job, like having too much to do and not having good management. I also did not make very much money or get all of the breaks that I deserved. At the same time though, I also learned some important life lessons for taking on a less than desirable job.
The Life of a Student-Athlete I always thought, I Michael Jordan was the smartest person in my middle school and high school class. I really didn’t have to work hard and was able to get good grades without putting forth a lot of effort. My personal saying was that if I do enough to get at least a passing grade I will be cool with it. I had been successful following this belief system for years, and then, came my junior year in high school. My experiences as a junior changed my entire outlook on my role as a student athlete and caused me to reevaluate my perspective on the things that were important to me.
