HW 39 - First school Assignment

Part A:
Three of the most interesting, fascinating, and powerful questions to come across my mind, lets see... i dont know if they will be powerful let alone interesting but they are the ones that some people might ponder upon just as much as i did. "What is the meaning of substitute teachers if they arent replacing the lessonplan for the day?" "Why are classes like music/drama and others are not mandatory but Physical education is?" "Shouldn't there be more classes that teach kids things they will need to know for jobs in the future? i.e. how to use programs on a computer rather then how to use a scientific calculator? Instead of learning truth/tables or probability, why not further explore revenue and learn how to take inventory.

Part B:
For my brother's graduation, his graduating class wore the traditional cap/gown with a colored tassel and colored stole. Only the colors were all different, categorized, based on the major they finished with. I thought it was pretty cool that they could not only choose their classes but the major they wanted to finish with. That could easily reflect onto a college they would choose and what road or path they would follow soon after. In SOF, we not only dont have the priviledge of choosing our classes, but are forced to interact and do classroom activities/projects with the same students for an entire year. Only times are you able to mingle with different students are in different grade levels, if you are lucky. Also, i dont even know what kind of major i will be graduating with, my brother graduated as a business major in his High School, some math and some art, and another major i cannot remember. But what will i graduate as? and if it comes out to be the same major as every other single kid in my graduating class, is it fair for everyone to be that one major, if everyone has different plans and pursuits after High School?
