many times throughout the day i realize how bored i am in my classes. much of this kind of thinking occurs when i am in english reading a boring book or poem. for those of you who like english, i would like to ask why? and for those of you who dont, i also would like to ask why? i dont like it for several reasons, one: my high school requires four years of english to graduate. two, my teachers, or many of the english teachers, are very one sided about the opinions you can have on a peice of liturature. it seems to me that whatever stand i may take on a book it is never the right one. as proof of this i recieved a "C" on my last essay because of the ideas i put forth. third it seems as though i never learn anything new in that class, try as i might i still never learn anything past what i learned in 8th grade english. last and certainly not least, i find that i will not be pursuing and carrer that works with liturature, so why should i have to take it when i could be taking math and science courses. there you have it, four reason why i think english should be eliminated from high school curriculum.
