My Ishmael- School Daze Dialectic Journal


Quote: Do your teachers expect you to remember everything you learned last year?

Response: This quote is interesting to me because it talks about how children get into a new grade, but not remember anything from the previous grade. I can really relate to this quote, because i'll remember learning the things, but i won't remember what i learned. This makes it seem like school isn't very important because if the teachers teach us things that we won't remember, then what's the point of even going to school? I agree with Ishmael because even now i don't remember things that i learned from 8th grade. I would remember learning about the constitution but i wouldn't remember any details about it. If we were to review everything i learned last year, i would remember hearing all the topics, but i wouldn't remember all the details about them. This makes me think like what is the point of school? If a majority of kids don't remember anything from the past years, why do they makes us go to school? Eventually everyone is going to leave school or graduate from school and not remember what they learned, so whats the point of even going through all of that?
