The
Schools We Need
A freshman college English professor writes the article. She
writes about her challenges of being a full-time freshman English professor
after being away from it for a few years. Though an assignment she finds out
the quality of education high school students are receiving. After some
research she finds that teachers don’t seem to know their subjects well and
show no passion in teaching it. She also learns that teachers avoid having
class discussions about real life controversial issues so they won’t have to deal
with chaos and offending students. With that being said she promotes teaching
real life issues and debates. I enjoyed reading this article because of the way
it is written in her perspective. I enjoyed how she starts the article giving
details, “sitting by
the fire with a teetering stack of final essays.” I liked how she ended
the article, dialogue between her and her student, it made me feel as if I were
there with them in Kentucky at the Robinson Rainforest.
