I feel as though my family, friends and administrators would all agree, with the choice of education. People should be able to decide what is best for them no matter what financial difficulty they are in. People should be able to find their interests and make the most of it, no matter what school they attend. My all time favorite quote is "find what you love doing, and make money doing it". That quote explains how people need to find what they love doing, learn how to become better at it through education, and then make money by doing it. So whether a student wants to attend carpentry school, instead of a private high school, so be it. You cant make that same carpenter take intro to cooking, just because the private school requires it, it just doesn't make sense. He should be going to a school with his major interest, that will better his future to come. There should be no limitation on education, only guidelines to better the student.

Education is a gift, a choice, and a way of life. Education is all around us, we learn from others in almost everything we do. We learn from our parents, teachers, peers, and most importantly ourselves. Picking the right school to attend is hard, and everyone should have the opportunity to decide which is right for them. Your parents/guardians decided where you attend school up until high school. Once you graduate from middle school, you then decided if you would like to attend a trade school, a private or even a public school. Depending on your decision, from there on out you personally decide your destiny. Although cost, interests and other factors play a large role in our education, it certainly does not segregate our schools. Not all the wealthy kids will attend a private school, not every poor kid will attend a public school. Stereotypes such as these, are not true at all. People assume things, just because people with their similarities are doing something, and in the end find that is it untrue. A lot of people are considered individuals, they do things because it is best for them, not just because it looks good, or others are doing it. I believe that choice education is a great thing, is allows Americans to express their freedom to the highest.

Questions:

Can the government actually change the "choice" of education?

How will people react if they were told where they were attending school, instead of being able to decide?

Reflection:

Voting is an essential part of society, it effects every American whether we realize it or not. Voting allows people to anonymously vote for a specific person, in which they believe would be the best candidate to hold a position. Voting gives everyday people a voice in which they can use to elect a person with the same or close values as themselves. Everyone able to vote should do so, every vote does count! A democracy can't be of use if we all don't work together! A part of citizenship is shown when one votes; the act of providing your own thoughts to your community is important.
