Not Good Enough Intentions
The faculty at South Tahoe High School has good intentions for the students they are preparing for graduation. Although they try hard to prepare students for the real world and make them better citizens through the process, it seems as if they have a sort of tunnel vision by expecting the same thing from every student.

Teachers allow the student to make their own choice in which they choose what book they want to read, but still force the idea of reading a book on a student, which...

I wonder how come the essay was based on that topic! How come it was such a significan one that made you write a 5 or more prolonged paragraphs on it! Oh well, at least it was worth reading it!
Good job!
