SIZER ARTICLE
the article is based on sizers accomplishments in life. i agree with Yazmin who says that one size fits all education is not true because everybody learns at there own pace some people learn the material an some do not. an i also agree with her saying that schools should not be limited by the tests they should be able to learn an do more things such as the exhibition.
HIRSCH ARTICLE
this article is also article based off his life. i disagree with him saying that students should learn the same thing because it not everybody wants to do the same thing. life would be boring if everybody wants to be the same thing. it is ok to learn the same thing until a certain age like the basics but its not good for older people. so i disagree with his thoughts.
i would have to agree with sizers thoughts only because s.o.f is sort of based off his thoughts an i also did learn a lot in this school compared to my friends school. when i talk to my friends about writing a certain page paper they always so yo this is going to take for ever to write but with me i can write a 8 page paper easy because of all the writing we do in this school an also exhibition. i think its better to do the paper than to take a test that determines your life such as the regents you learn a whole lot more.

well it seems for the speech that obama was basicly saying that we do not have it bad we have it easy because he had to be up at 4 am to wake up an go to school thought by his mom. it is also put in our heads how we have to take responibilty for our own education.
being in a diverst school is not bad but our school is weird. i will to agree with chloe on this our school is in the city but we can not afford cups or trays for lunch. every year the food get worst an the lunch room get cheaper. an i also have to agree with her saying that we have to learn the things we are learning in math because it is so called important to our lifes later on but if you ask anybody that grad do they use the math that they learned in high school they would say no. so alot of the things we are learning in school is pointless. we should be thought things that we are going to use in life. such as how to use your hands an also things that have to do with stuff that we wanna prosue in our life.

A.Why does it matter to you personally given the experiences you've had in your life - in terms of your feelings, hopes, memories, daily life?
it matters to me because when i always younger still in s.o.f i always told my parents that my school is different from other schools an that our work an schooling system is different than it was back when they were in school. they think that if i pass every class that i can walk in graduation but with our school we have to pass all the classes an pass the exhibiton. you could pass all your classes but if you fail the exhibtion you will not walk in graduation but they do not seem to get that. an also our life time it is so easy to do hw an research because everybody has a computer now an cell phones that can do anything now. with our school how it is we are very different because we do different things than other schools.
B.How does your topic matter existentially - in terms of the meaning of your life, of knowing who you are, of whether you live well before you die?
i think my topic does matter because when we have kids our kids are going to say the same things to us. an also they will ask us how the school was back when we was growing up. but since we are focused on this topic now we will not be so lost like our parents are with us right now because we will understand that times are changing an every year more digital things come out with makes our generation seem more technical an sort of lazy because our life are based off computers.
