In Will Richardson’s article, “The “New” Normal” it talks about how education in the U.S needs to be reformed. I agree with Richardson’s ideas. At Arapahoe High School we have a certain amount of credits we have to meet to graduate or be accepted into a good college. We have to have certain credits in art, music, business; foreign language etc. and I think we shouldn’t have these classes mandatory. Ever since about the early 1900s we have been being taught the same way. It works on some note because it gives all kids the same education and gives them all the same chance in life. I think kids should be able to choose the certain classes they want to take. I don’t think you have to take a certain practical arts class because it is mandatory and maybe if they have to take they class they close the window for someone who loves the arts and wants to get in, but they cannot because it is filled with students who have no interests in the class. I think we should reform classes to kids being able to choose any certain class a student desires.
