What would you if high school was six years. My life would be kind of bad because I would have to be a lot older than I would when I graduated. I would not go for this at all! I would rather go to collage because I would have more freedom. I would not have to deal with the constant you have to go to this class right now! I could make my own life plan for the schedule. I would not have the requirements for history classes. I could take classes that would give me credits for a teaching degree. With six years of high school I would have to wait and some of the job opportunities would be gone!
These are some peoples comments about this and how I agree and disagree with them.
First, Amanda Ripley quoted, " It's not about how long school lasts. It's about how challenging and relevant school is on a daily basis." I agree completely on this statement. One reason is because it is a true thing if kids were challenged they would have to work harder, so there would be no need for six years of high school! I mean if you push yourself you have more chances to succeed, and to learn from mistakes rather than rushing through easy stuff making unwanted, silly mistakes. Challenges are defiantly better than time, there is no denying it!
"At 16, not 18, our young adults need to study with highly trained professionals in settings free from the restrictive and infantilizing culture of our high schools.", says Leon Botstein. I agree with this man so much! If we start younger we have a mind that is still open to learn how to study. While if we are older we only want to sleep and get through the homework fast. This man is just as knowledgeable as the woman in the paragraph before. It is clear to me and them that six years of high school is ridiculous!
" Students are eager to move past high school. The focus should be on informing them about their options for the next step.", says Jeffrey Jensen Arnett. At this stage in life we do not want to wait around anymore. We want to go out and experience the real world and find our passion! This is what I say to six years of high school and this man agrees. He has the same view I have, get the information and move on with it. After all these great words from people and my view, you can conclude that there should not be six years of high school!
