Public Libraries and Public Schools

I believe the current American public schooling system needs reform, and fast.

um, what the fuck . when you are at the library you read shit, but its hard to understand. Thas what teachers do, they are paid to teach difficult materials. Librarys have books for some shit about anything u want except if your dealing with math, science, or any actual hard subject, it is almost impossible to fully learn them without a teacher. AND BTW WHAT IS THE NAME OF DAT SONG IN THE BEGINNING?

Dat shit is called The Diary of Jane.

hey, i totally agree with you, but in order to survive in the real world( outside the library ), with a decent job, you ofcourse as we all know, and drop outs fully understand, NEED a HIGH SCHOOL DEPLOMA.

no matter how smart you are, anyone behind any desk reveiwing ur resume might look under education, i suppose depending on the person interveiwing u accepts 15 years of being in a library, over an A+ high school graduate, is anything short of a miracle.

GED, homeschooling, and knowing the right people (Einstein got one of his friends who only had a high school diploma into Cambridge studying for a PhD in Physics) can get you to ignore the "normal" path way.

Public humiliation in public schools.  Yeah. You're right. Kids are miserable in school. They're forced to learn garbage they don't need.

this is pretty clearly a read off of one of John Taylor Gatto's Speeches/Essays. Clever idea though.

Lastly, I will not try to make some type of pre-conceived assumption(a bit re-dundent) about your school and community. But you also forgot one other thing about libraries. Library does not only open people to the use of reading. Many libraries have music archives and art archives as well as other pieces of info some people would never think of using such as archived newspapers. Also, public libraries allow public use of computers, something some people still can't afford.

Hello, you make an excellent arguement for public libraries and against public schools. Unfortunately you forgot one thing in the mix. My public school system utilizes the public library. In fact, most public schools in my area have their own library which is to say the least, for all intensive purposes is adequate for lower level education but will order book in from larger branches. Also, I think your problem should be with public schools not leaving their libraries doors open to students.

Actually, all of the libraries in my area have extensive collections of music--and not just the kind of stuff you'd expect to find in a library. Sure, you can find ancient chamber music, but they have tons of newer music (both popular and alternative). Also, if you look them up online, they have many new films; they just don't put them on display because people put them on hold so quickly.
