Education Programs: Making Changes
ENC 1101
Making new changes Today we are living in a world in which we as the people don’t have enough authority to do whatever we feel is right relate to education programs. That’s why after I had finished reading the articles from barefoot college and Gustavo
Esteva, I strongly agreed with every single word they discussed in their articles. First of all, teenagers don’t feel like getting a diploma from college because many of them are discriminated from their parent’s status migratory. Their parents don’t have the opportunity to work as what they had graduated just because they aren’t residents.

In the other hand, many of these students aren’t attending regularly to school or even worse they are failing classes just because they don’t feel like learning anything about it. Another good observation and topic is that human beings learn better by doing the process than when someone is teaching us in the classroom. In this case I would like to put myself as an example. I always like to experiment new things in life and get good result from it, but I don’t feel comfortable enough when I have professors in from of me telling me what I should do or not. And that’s exactly what most of the students thought. However as Gustavo Esteva mentioned in his article, we see many graduates working in different fields that have nothing to do with their careers. Many of these graduates left their country for a better opportunity but they don’t realize that the best opportunity we can have is the one of hands-on or learning-by-doing process of gaining knowledge and skills. Second, teenagers don’t like to have many tasks to do just to learn better, in other words we don’t like homework or projects. When I
