This is just a random headline I stumbled upon in a newspaper and I decided to write a short essay on it.
Sounds like you are born to be a blogger. Big bad blogger Ana. You should watch youtube vids about how to make $$ blogging.
to subliminally motivate us, the next generations, to learn in order to pass the 12th grade. Even though I appreciate their willingness to provide us with such unofficial and ineffective statistics I think it's about time to look at this matter objectively.---This first paragrap leaves me feeling a little uncertain about exactly what you mean. Just a little.
A paranoid concern among the masses was to be expected. --cool sentence.
We are left at the hand of incompetent leaders who try to hide their futility in this world by randomly asking future 12th graders on TV about their feelings. ----Well, somebody obviously did something right when educating you!
And about that last sentence... awesome poignancy, great ending. AND I think it solves the mystery. Nobody actually has incentive to care about the next generation. The rich want good employees, and the old know that they turned out okay even though their education was worse than yours. The politicians are not directly invested in the quality of education, either. EVERYBODY has goals and interests, and nobody has direct incentive to actually improve the quality of education. Even those responsible for achieving high academic standards actually have incentive only to create appearances, not high standards in actual reality.
Once in a while, though, you meet an eccentric teacher who really wants to empower others.
