I Am Student

As a learner being prepared to enter the workforce, I need certain things.

I need an education.

This includes rudimentary knowledge in the following:

• How the human and the world the human lives in works (via mathematics, health education, and general science)
• How the human thinks (via social studies/history, personal social experience, and the arts)
• and of how the human experience is expressed (via literature, personal composition, and the arts)

At what point, though, should this education be considered my responsibility and not that of those who think they know what’s best for me? My experience and that of those around me suggests that at a certain point, yes, our education should become a matter of choice, however when is this?

I say that classes in high school should be required for two to three years, depending on the viewpoint of the local population, and at that point one should have the ability to choose a path, for one to two years, that they may follow in any given subject, for example mathematics, foreign languages, the sciences, the english language and literature, et cetera.

Any thoughts? I’m happy to be proved wrong if the argument’s got good support.

Entering the Blagosphere

-Title via xkcd

There are two reasons I failed so miserably at trying to be a blogger earlier in life:

1. I wanted to have instant gratification - I wanted people to read, comment, and like me as soon as I started.
2. I didn’t write quality posts.

I’ve come out of my first blogging experience a little wiser. I have a friend who’s been blogging quality stuff for years and he still doesn’t get comments on some of the things that I think are the best!

Anywho, I’m just putting all my thoughts out there for any and all to see - and while I’m not expecting comments, I’d love ‘em!
