I really enjoyed reading this article by Michael Moore. He had my full attention the whole time. I love the way he writes, its just like he would talk holding nothing back.
I kind of got a bad taste in my mouth when he started talking bad about President Bush, because i am a bush fan and felt like he has always done his best with what he has been given. also, when he was basically saying that most Americans were just brain dead loosers that sat around and watched tv all day. But as i read on and saw where Moore was coming from I agreed with a lot of his points and statements. I myself have considered being a teacher, but when you look at what they go through and the pay they are allotted its difficult to consider. I like how Moore approches this issue. He comments on how can you expect the kids of America to get a good worth while education when the funds to be able to do anything in a teaching possion is limited. It seems that America is cutting its own thoat when it comes to education. it feels that they are discouraging people from becomeing good teachers and pushing out the ones that are.
I also like how he talks about how the leaders of America say that kids are not learning enough in schools so they give more tests and make the teachers take more tests. they think the whole problem can be solved by some filled in bubbles on a sheet. I dont really want to get started on how i feel about the grading system, but its true. there is only so much a test can tell you and so much that it doesn't.
over all I liked this article. I enjoyed reading about these different oppions that Moore had and I agree with a lot of them.

I like what you wrote about this essay. I also didnt like when he was bashing on bush i dont think we should bash on our leaders, we should stand behind them. Some do make mistakes but so does everyone so he needs to lay off a little bit. But i agree with a lot of things as well as you did way to write.
ReplyDeleteyeah i agree with what you both guys are saying, because while Bush was not liked by many people in this nation, he was still our leader. Moore really knew how to get my attention and i agree it was a really good read.
