What i think high school is for....

I think that high school is about preparing already knowledgeable teenagers for adulthood. We learned how to read, write and about basic arithmetic in elementary and middle school.  So High school is more for applying those basic skills towards higher education that is forced upon us, while we are still treated as we were in elementary and middle school. I would change high school by making it all about what profession we decided to go for as adults or somehow applying a program to help the students that don’t know what they want to do after high school. I had a few ideas of what I wanted to do but didn’t have much help following them through. I know plenty of students that have no idea of what they want to do and just get by in high school to not know what they want to do after school. I think a big thing is kids just wanting their freedom after being treated like a child their whole lives. And if they weren’t treated as much like children and more like adults and talked to about their hopes and dreams and had help putting them into action; well that might help out some of the “lost” kids in high school.
