Going through school, I often wondered why I needed to do so many English related tasks, and in wondering, I learned to detest the subject without realizing its future benefits. Why do I dislike English so much? Is ... wasn't actually learning how to speak English that bothered me, my dislike for English began to form when I began getting English education in a formal learning environment. That's when I remember elementary school. I don't recall disliking English then. It was more like I was learning new things - things that I did not learn at home or in pre-school - like reading, writing, and grammar. It felt good to finally know how to read and write (and I suppose it felt good to have knowledge of a little grammar too). These were things that ...

The censorship of academic materials must be banned because no group has the right ... in full force at least as early as 1644, the year English writer John Milton wrote his famous Areopagitica to defend freedom of the press" (Tax 154). Last year alone, there were more instances of school censorship than any year since 1982 (Clark 171).

He's struggling with two of his subjects, but is doing his best and getting help after school from his teachers. He knows he's worked hard this marking period, but he is still nervous when he receives his report card. Does this sound familiar? Why do we worry, when the basic purpose of school is to educate people, and to teach them the skills they will need to be successful in college, the workplace, and in everyday life.
