Botstein’s critique of the American High School Reading Leon Botstein’s critique of the American high school really made me think about what would be most beneficial to our country.

It has been a long four years and a short for years. Long because of all the drama and bad homework‚ the boring readings and early-morning extra credit projects‚ and all the other little pratfalls that hit us in high school. Short because of the lifelong

Because White Plains’ schooling is so diverse‚ it is the perfect habitat for viewing how various classes interact with each other. Some of the observations I’ve made
