Big thoughts on school? School is in our presence because us as students can't do anything about it. Our ideas and opinions on school mean nothing because to adults it is just a way of getting out of school or not to learn certain things. But I think if school was taking seriously by higher power then they would realize, there are certain things we are learning that we would not need in real life depending on or career decisions and I think that should enable us to learn things that we want to not what other people want to teach us. Then we as students would think there is a better purpose in school and would look forward to learn something the next day.

In the future hopefully someone would figure it out and try to make a change to the things students are taught in school. It is not too late to make the change because there is still a whole bunch of generation left to get those students influenced to go to school. If someone could convince the high power to change up the lessons in classes and teach more real life things that we need to learn as we get older and go into the real world then the younger generation would be coming out of school more wiser and being able to tell a good deal from a bad one without making a mistake once or twice to figure out the right way to go.

In Obama's speech I like how he pointed out the small things that every kid goes through every new year when school comes back around. Also when he compares his self to every thing and how he would have to wake earlier than any other kid would have to just to get home school by his mother. Having the President make a speech like that can influence kids to go to school because it would probably make them think that if the President can go through such a hard time like that and succeed it something that big so can I.

His speech also affects the teachers because the teacher would probably like to reach standards and try to inspire the kids more to learn. So going into the new school year a lot of teachers would probably change their teaching styles to make their students want to learn more. But the teachers are as nervous as the students are because they don't know too much about their new students and how easy can they learn. Or if they could keep up with their teaching style and this affects the teachers because it makes the teachers feel that they not doing enough to make their students learn.

On the liberal arts article the opening question is a question we hear every time we study shakespeare and I agree "How will studying Shakespeare or cell biology or modern art help me get a job?" I'm confused because can I go to a job interview and say am familiar with shakespeare I understand every single word in all his plays. Would I get a job much more easier that way? I don't think so, business companies could careless about that. So I think learning shakespeare plays is pointless.
