After reading this article‚ I felt very sympathetic knowing that these types of issues occur every day in the classrooms of many school districts. I learned that many students in low income schools do not have many opportunities in becoming successful or furthering their education due to the low resources that their schools provide for them and their teachers.

Having cameras in the classrooms would be much more helpful than pledging honor codes. Sadly‚ there are not only cheaters in classrooms where they can be caught more easily.

High schools has given me many good and bad experiences. But one of the best experiences that high school has given me was being a part of close up. Close up is a nonprofit organization that promotes students from all over the United States to take part in their government.

For me I personally think that Romeo and Juliet shouldn’t be taught in high school. I say this because if you honestly think about it what is there to learn from it that will help you in your future. I also say this because the book is about romance and kings‚ queens‚ princesses in like high royalty. But our lives aren’t in high royalty we aren’t kings or queens we are just your typical ordinary people. Lastly I think that the book is a more higher education of understanding for like college people
