    I disagree with Leon Botstein's essay "Let Teenagers Try Adulthood". Botstein argues that teenagers have matured much more quickly over the past few years. Therefore, he believes high school be abolished and a child's education should begin earlier in order for students to graduate around the age of sixteen rather than eighteen. High school is intended for students of a certain maturity level. But now, students are exceeding that level rapidly. Botstein sees high school as a place full of superficial, adolescent teenagers that care more about appearances, popularity, cliques and sports than education. Because they have reached a high maturity level at such a young age already, there are many students that are wasting their junior and senior years away in high school rather than starting college. I disagree with Botstein however. High school is a transition period for students to learn how to take on more responsibilities. It is the time for teenagers to become more social and independent. While I do agree with Botstein on his point of maturity levels growing faster, I don't agree that students should be graduating earlier than they currently are. Not all students are capable of the same things. Most high school students are not prepared to enter into adulthood just yet. They still need someone to guide them along a path until they've graduated. Age restrictions are applied to the youth community for a reason. The majority of teenagers are not ready to handle the responsibilities that come their way. The legal age for drinking is 21 because of safety concerns as well as the responsibility that comes with the consumption of alcohol. Fortunately for Texas, teenagers are able to obtain their drivers license at the age of sixteen, but other states, like California, have citizens wait until they are eighteen to obtain their license with the same privileges as a sixteen year old from Texas. Responsibilities are tough to handle, even for an adult. So why have the same…

    ELL Support In Schools

    One of the benefits of ELL supports in our schools is the opportunity they offer by helping these students to get immersed in the North American culture and learn to navigate such by themselves through differentiated instruction. We have to take into consideration that some of these students do not understand (much less interpret!) what is going on around them. ELL school supports are extremely necessary as they may be the only ones from mainstream education trying to instruct these students the proper way, academically and personally. Another benefit and I have experienced with this first-hand, is that ELL supports not only help these students learn this new culture but also their families with the acculturation process. ELL supports ensure…

    Have you ever been mistaken for a criminal because you “fit the profile”? This is a common scenario all across America. What exactly racial profiling? Racial profiling according the dictionary is a noun which means “the consideration of race when developing a profile of suspected criminals; by extension, a form of racism involving police focus on people of certain racial groups when seeking suspected criminals. All too often minorities are being hauled off to jail because they “fit the profile”. Racial profiling is wrong, and it alters lives, destroys families, and halts dreams. Because of racial profiling, many African American and other minorities sit in penitentiaries and prisons across this nation, many of whom “let’s face it”, were guilty until proven innocent young black men are frequently judged by the company they keep, the type of clothing they wear, the type of music they listen to, and often times their body language…
