wanted every single book, the scary books, funny books, even comics. The book fair is what blossomed my love for books and reading. I loved how the books were presented and displayed. I got so psyched to read the new books they had to offer. The librarians talked about and showed previews of the books that were in the fair to get us more interested and it worked for me. I was on the edge of my seat watching the previews. I wrote every single book down. I went home and told my mom and sister…

For years, people have been questioning the root of the American education system’s troubles and placing the blame on various factors. However, it seems that all they have done is point out the problems, rather than taking the initiative to delve into and attempt to fix them. This is one of the main causes of the downfall of the education system. As a result, it continues to be dysfunctional and negatively impact students nationwide. In “Against School” by John Taylor Gatto, “Don’t Send Your…

Yet literacy rates before then, before compulsory public schooling, are estimated to be around 90% to 98%. Men such as Abraham Lincoln, Samuel Langhorne Clemens (Mark Twain), and Frederick Douglass were able to educate themselves and move on to contribute greatly to society without the benefit of public education in any form, as did most Americans in that era(Sowell, Inside 18-24,27).

I had what a little kid had to make little art pieces; markers, watercolor, crayons, color pencils, and a lot of cheap dollar store office supplies. I had a big imagination as a child and I drew what I thought were my pride and joy, and at that age I knew I couldn’t do art for my future and I thought drawing won’t make a huge impact in my…
