Before graduation, it should be required that a student takes at least one credit of parenting classes to prepare them and also educate them on child care, problem solving, disciplinarian styles, and the expenses of a child. Parenting classes are relatable to Malcolm X’s “Learning to Read” because like reading, a parenting class is something an individual could learn without being taught, however an individual can become better educated after being taught. This class would educate high school students on children from birth to young adult so they have a better understanding of how a child works, the essentials of raising a child, and what kind of care they would need. Students would do many exercises concerning this class like the famous flour babies, or eggs to take care of. They would roughly go over the anatomy of a child, and the health related concerns that are common between the ages of a new born through a young adult. It would also roughly go over sufficient ways to solve day by day problems that occur with the child as well as the different disciplinarian styles that are being used today. The parenting classes would go into depth about the expenses of a child, as well as the essentials of raising one. In the unit of which the expenses of a child rise, they would have projects like a fake family, and have to go through “real life scenarios” to see how expensive it truly is. Students would also study and brainstorm the essentials of raising kids, from every stage and point in their life. This class would not only have high school students discover what it’s like to be a parent, but it may also be an eye opener to the real world outside of high school.
Another subject that should be on a high school curriculum is a consumer class. This class would teach you ways to save and spend, educates a student on investments, online price checking or ratings, smart shopping, and also helps you develop a personal budget to keep track of any finances. Saving and spending are crucial to this day and age because of the current economy. Collecting coupons is becoming a famous way to save some extra money that would otherwise be spent. Consumer classes would also teach students the importance of having emergency money, which is accumulated from a desired percentage of this student’s pay. This class would also introduce investments, and include some different aspects of investing in the stock market. Class members would have projects on investing in a fake stalk market, and go through the trials and errors like a average investor would go through depending on the economy. Price checking and ratings would be a unit to be taught in this class, and would help students reach out to resources that would educate them on the item they have an interest in, which would also connect with smart shopping. The biggest unit that would be covered in this course is about personal budget. This unit could combine with a project that is used to display real life scenarios. For instance, a student would have to map out their life with an after high school job, house payments, car payments, and other critical things like food, water, and utilities. Like the parenting classes, this could hopefully to not only be a wake up call, but is also used to motivate students to go to college to have a comfortable life.

Preparation for Life
It is evident that every graduating year has certain graduation requirements that are to be met during the past four years of the student high school career. Classes like science, math, English, history, and of course some elective credits are some of today’s standards. However, who gets to decide which credits a student needs to graduate? Did this individual ever think of requiring certain classes to educate them on certain aspects of life? According to a John Gatto quote, “(school is supposed) to make good people, make good citizens, and make that individual his or her personal best.” So far, many see that school makes a student a good citizen by educating them on the world problems and history, but what about the other two? To make good people, you have to educate them on day to day subjects like parenting, buying or selling, handling money, or just molding a hard worker. Graduation requirements should include life skill classes because graduates will eventually become parents, consumers, and workers.Before graduation, it should be required that a student takes at least one credit of parenting classes to prepare them and also educate them on child care, problem solving, disciplinarian styles, and the expenses of a child.

It is evident all schools have certain graduation requirments that are to be met during the four years of the student high school career. Classes like science, math, english, history, and of course some elective credits are some of todays standards. But who gets to decide which credits a student needs to graduate? Did this individual ever think of requiring certain to educate them on certain aspects of life? Graduation requirments should inculde life skill classes becasue graduates will eventually become parents,consumers, and works.

My Observations on Gatto's "Against School"
When reading this i was just thinking that Gatto's thoughts on education are alot like mine. For instance in Page 2 Paragraph 1, when he is talking about Six classes a day, five days a week, nine months out of the year for twelve years. I don't think this is really necessary, and thats why i joined running start. I didn't have to stay in school for 6 hours, with people who are disruptive, and don't want to be there. This country has made it where if you don't graduate with a High School Diploma/ GED, then you will be working a McDonalds. And if you don't go to college, the chances of making good money are minimal. Like He said, just becasue you are unschooled, doesn't mean your uneducated. On Page 2 Paragraph 4, He talks about the public schools, and their goals for young adults like 1)To make good people, 2)To make good citizens, 3)and to make each person his or her personal best. But i think schooling should be much more than that. I think it should teach decision making, banking, credit, payments, the important things that apply to EVERYONE. He talks about the history of education, and foreigners ecduations as well. In Page 3-4 Paragrpah 4 he talks about the mandatory purpose of public education, and i mostly agree with the steps. it seems like thats what public education is suppose to do. He one thing i don't agree with is Page 5 Paragraph 2 where he rants about how Maturity is not needed in present day, divorce is easy to do, easy credit, and entertainment. This i believe is not true. I think that you have more options in present day. Maturity is your choice, divorce is your choice, and to either entertain youself or watch entertainment is YOU CHOICE. its not being lazy.
Notes On "Definition" & "Proccess"
Section 45: They types of Definitions for wirting are simple. In an explanation, this is more of an Extended Definition because sometimes two words cannot be defined in the same sentence. In a way Definitions can be a proccess, explaining what the STEPS are to fixing a certain problem, or different STAGES of something. Section 46: Section 46 was about proccess, and basically that means a paper that gives insruction on how to do something. It also consists of planning, and steps in proper sequence. Section 47: Is about Enumeration or being Chronological. Thisis putting steps in order, like what came first in time. For Example, the Televison Set obviously came before the Ipods. Section 48: Is Classification. We talked about this in class, and it basically is saying there is different ways to classify everything. It says how the items being studied are similar, yet different.

Reactions to "Against School As Presently Constituted"
I feel as though he is the type to always have a plan. He thinks that if people plan better, that they will be more successful. I think he is happy with his life, but thinks that if his relatives planned better he wouldn't have anything bad to say. He talks about schools and how all schools back in the 20's and 30's were all predujice. He kind of talks about how racsim is a problem even today, both is rual and urban places, which is really sad. This paper really made some good points about how "No Child Left Behind", which makes it sound like children that are under privilege will have a huge high paying job, which sometimes happens, but not most of th time. This was really a sad story for me becasue it just shows you that not everthing is what it turns out to be.
