Two solutions to a oppressive school system

When I think about a oppressive school system I think about how many loops a school can make u jump threw to  final meet your  goal to obtain a profession in a way schools kinda  hold back creative people from doing what they want for example like I said in class I like to spend my free time making beats  and even though my career field is criminal justice I am still required to take some type of art class so I took music thinking It would be a fun class for me to get into and afther taking the class It detoured me from what I liked to do ,I'm thinking this would be a fun hands on class and it ended up being a book work try to remember all theses dead music composer type of class ,I guess it's good to know if you plan on being in a orchestra  but at the end of the day how is this class benefiting me or just the average student if your not a music major  what am I trying to remember all this information for ? It's really a waist of money for some one who doesn't have it like that but yo need the class to move fwdnd that's how they oppress us.

A solution would be to do college general education at a high school level  , let's say before a student graduates from the twelfth grade make it mandatory for them to complete these classes befor they enter college so that once here a student can focus all there time on classes that get him or her ready for their career field

Growing up I've  seen both side the oppressive and non oppressive school system I grew up in west oakland  were as a child if you don't know what being in a good school feels like then you will adapt to the harsh surroundings you can be poor and not no that yo are poor until u leave the city  they use to give us food baskets every Friday to take home and mentally it made you feel like you were a bum that could not afford food .teachers never had control of the class their solution was always to suspend you or have you sit in the office , basically away to exclude you from learning with the rest of that class but that's not my point , I ended up moving with my dad to concord and the difference between the two schools was night and day this school had computers a gym just made you feel important to be there peolpe were a lot friendlier  and made you like school compared to my old school in oakland everybody was always fighting teacher had no control no computers no gym nothing . I was lucky to get out of oakland  I think if I would have stayed I'd be less likely to come to college based on not being aware of what other schools had to offer ,kids at other school were learning how to type in the third grade as to kids in oakland can't learn because their not given the opportunity what they don't know won't heart them

  1. You have so many great opinions in these past two blogs that you can put together to create a full essay. You also hinted at so really great experiences that you should share with the class. Especially the experience of going from a poor school to a well-funded school. You are going to kill the first essay, I can feel it!
