Chanler: What would happen in a world where it was the child's choice to go to school? Would you go to school?


If there was a world where children had the choice to go to school it would be unproductive. I know children "hate" school, but that is only because it has boring and dull moments. It also makes you wonder why would have to learn information you "will never use". Don't get me wrong, school is boring, stressful, and lame; however, it prepares you for a bright future. Most adults with cool and interesting jobs had to attend school to achieve that job. School is a great invention. I may sound like bit of a nerd but I can see a clear picture of how I will use certain skills in my future life. The teachers don't want to be there to bother you. They are generous enough to take their time and set us up for a good life. We should appreciate them more.

If I had the choice, yes I would go to school. I want to attend collage and go through all of the steps to have a wide variety of job options. I want to be smart enough to get a good paying job that may be able to take care of a family. Lots of students on the other hand would not go to school. In my opinion I think the students that would agree with me are fortunate enough to attend a private school. Private school is a privilege. I think all kids needs school but it is obvious that majority of kids would not go to school if they didn't have to. I think also some kids would do "home school"; however, interacting with other kids is good for you social skills that will be needed later in life.

Writing Center Experience

This semester I visited the writing center to improve my literary analysis final draft. I booked and appointment with Ellery. I decided to go to the writing center because I was not pleased with my rough draft grade. When I got there I was slightly uncomfortable because I felt out of place. I felt like I did not belong there and that people were going to laugh or judge the way I write. Luckily my thoughts and feelings were incorrect. Ellery immediately greeted me and I suddenly could breath again. haha. I got out of final draft and began reading it line by line to her. As each line passed, we would discuss whether the sentence made sense or not. If it made sense we continued reading. If it sounded weird or appeared to have errors she would give me advice on how I could change a few things to improve that sentence and clarify the point I was trying to prove.

In my paper I noticed how many silly errors I had by just reading it aloud to her. I caught the majority of my errors just by reading. Granite, Ellery does know more about writing papers than I do through experience and practice. My papers fluency and structure was much better and precise. I didn't jump from point to point anymore. I feel like the writing center is a major help because when you revise your own paper you read it over and over and in a way you get used to it. When someone else takes a look at it they point out things you didn't notice after multiple read throughs. It's very helpful and I deffidently plan to book another appointment at the writing center to improve my papers.
