The writer of this quote wanted its readers to understand what true education is all about. 

In "two parts ABCs to fifty parts" it talks about a schools fundamental setting usually, with planned lessons and heavy requirements of subjects that we probably don't need in the future. Basically, as students we always learn about the basics of the subjects that we tackle around school, it's just a normal education that we earn.

Now, "Where Do I Stand in the Great Pecking Order of Humankind", interestingly enough this line talks about the secondary education that we will be getting, which is the experiences of "Social interaction" and "life" in a way we don't get this usually at school.

Read the excerpt from the Fed Up website. Which statement opposes a viewpoint expressed in the excerpt?
Ronch [10]

Answer:

                     Read the excerpt from the Fed Up website. Which statement opposes a viewpoint expressed in the excerpt?

               I'm a single mother with three children in the public school system, and I'm tired of all this testing mania. I realize that teachers and students need to be assessed, but enough is enough already. I am against extending the school day for standardized-test tutoring. I work long hours and don't get to spend enough time with my kids as it is. I don't want them coming home just in time for dinner only to disappear into their rooms and do homework until bedtime. But I'm also against pulling students out of supposedly "nonessential classes" like music and art just so they can spend even more time on the so-called essential classes. I happen to think that music and art are essential, and I know my children agree.
