Hw- 39 First School Assignment

Questions:
1. When/Who started School in America?
2. What's the difference in curriculum between Private Schools and Public Schools?
3.Why is a 65 a passing grade?

Ideas:
1. School is structured to build and prepare us for the workforce.
2. Like the Cool unit, we use school as a tool to build ourselves into something except it is more directional depending on the time and effort we put into it.
3. School alters our social life.

Experiences:
1. Being in a public school has more of a diversity where I feel my comfortable then compared to Private Schools where more of one race is found.
2. Going to school is a source of where I can find mixed emotions due to the pressure, friends, accomplishment, etc school has to offer.
3. Being graded and tested is a great way to build and brake a person.

School. An institution for the youth. Before, education was a privilege only given to people that came from the wealthy side of life. Now, it is available to anyone; School builds and creates futures for those who take advantage of it. A system that is teaching us how to think and make, but are we really thinking and being guided to think in a specific way. Is school a brainwashing facility to control society easily targeted towards children? Hitler, a once powerful and sadistic man controlled his entire country by manipulating the youths by guiding them in a specific path in school. He easily controlled the minds of the youths learning capabilities and structured it in a way he wanted it to be. In America, we learn a lot about the positive and right-wing history instead of the negative aspects of American history only to be brainwashed and manipulated into believing that our country is valiant and heroic. Occasionally we spend some significant time on learning it of course, but not enough to actually see that we are not so good after all. Weird.

It is great that school is a given opportunity to all to teach us how to think, but also made to teach us in one directional path? What other contradictions can we find in School?
