Response to Kahn/Class Discussion

In class we discussed how social class determines what jobs you get and where you will end up. I disagree with this because everyone has an opportunity to make it out of their social class and better themselves. Just because you come from a public school does not mean you do not have the intelligence to go to an Ivy League university. Ivy Leagues schools are overrated for the most part. The main difference in universities is cost of attendance. Even though everyone has a biased opinion on social class mine is that if you believe you can do it never give up.

            Richard Kahn shares similar interests with me when it comes to schools and social class. Kahn believes that education is necessary in order to change the world. He believes that education is used to only raise test scores and not awareness for the environment. This is right because in high school I never spoke of the environment not even in science classes. Kahn feels that we should stop worrying about unnecessary information and obtain facts that are going to be useful in the future. In cases today most the information taught in high school and college is never used in real life but saving the environment could be. We need to educate ourselves with environmental information if we want to continue to live on this earth.
