    Every time my family goes to my grandparents house, I’ll always see this little make-shift shack made out of ply-wood and crates and barrels. The crazy thing is that there’s always someone stopped and buying some homegrown authentic farm food. Makes me wonder what’s the difference between that and what we sell in the grocery store. Even these strangers know the difference between authentic and processed. Although book characters aren't the same as vegetables and pumpkins, they do have an obvious difference between authentic and phony.…

    The schools have a purpose to teach the students and prepare them for the upcoming future. The major focus in school is math, science, English, and history. There seems to be a lack on the teaching of values and ethics, the teaching of how life is really like outside of the 4 walled classroom. There is not a class on how to make better life decisions, and how to succeed. Without knowing the difference between right and wrong one is not able to navigate and be successful on the mere education that is provided by the school system.…

    Firstly, schools eliminate qualities that makes every student unique by “dulling” their minds and by in some cases putting students under dress codes that are too strict. Schools “dull” students by giving them problems to solve and then telling them that there is only one way to do those problems; by telling students that there is only one way to find the answer then students are taught to not think critically and this results in them being not very smart. The point of creating students who cannot think critically is that they end up being dependent on others and do not gain any leadership skill, this results in a society where most people only know how to follow and not to lead. Schools gives each student a long list of classes that they need in order to graduate from high school, this “dulls” them by not giving them much room to choose their own paths of learning. While you can argue that even though schools give students the opportunity to choose the order in which they take the required classes and the opportunity to choose certain optional classes; the fact is that the classes that are required to take fills up the majority of each students schedule.…
