In class, we read "11 Things They Don't Teach in High School" as well as "What Lakeshore Technical College Requires from Students." In this blog, I'd like to post your reactions to these materials.
Here are some things to consider for your response:
- Do these pieces seem harsh? Realistic? Unrealistic? In or out of touch with what you expect of college and career life?
- What points do you tend to agree or disagree with? Why?
- With all their talk of high expectations and the responsibilities of college life/adulthood, these pieces seem to imply that there is a cushy world of comfort created for students in the k-12 school system that disappears upon entering college or the workforce. Do you feel that you and/or your peers have been experiencing this type of environment in your own k-12 experience? If so, what might be the positives of this? What might be the negatives? Explain.
- Anything else you'd like to add . . .
