Answer:
I think he´s (partly) right
Explanation:
Partly right because yes, colleges are flooded with individuals who seem to be out of place and not learning anything that they could have learned outside the school building. Murray´s essay follows quite clearly the opinion of Noam Chomsky. The strategical creation of a separated American class system is a daring theory that needs some (personal) coments because of its elitist element, i.e. we who study have (keep) the power.
Two examples:
México is a democracy in name where the powerful and rich people send their kids - no matter how stupid they are - to college schools and private universities that only exist as the entry door to a well-paid job. And even if you don´t go to university you can always buy your degree, as former president Fox did.
Germany is a real democracy that has a social education system. It is costly but the economic support (bafug in German) for students is based on how much your parents earn. If your parents are poor you get more money per month to study and vice versa.
Now kindly look at the American educational system and see if it resembles more the Mexican or the German system.
Answer:
The speaker of the poem is a young boy who's at school in the summer. He can't focus in class because he wants so badly to play outside and enjoy the weather; he feels like a songbird trapped in a cage. Towards the poem's end, the boy wonders how children can grow and thrive if they are not allowed to enjoy the summer.
Explanation:
“The School Boy” is a poem included in William Blake’s collection Songs of Innocence. It is told from the perspective of a young boy going to school on a summer day. The boy loves summer mornings, but to have to go to school when the weather is so nice is a misery to him. He sits at his desk in boredom and cannot pay one iota of attention to the lesson, so desperately does he wish to be playing outside. In the fourth verse, the speaker asks, “How can the bird that is born for joy / Sit in a cage and sing?” Here the poet is comparing young children, so full of energy and happiness, to songbirds, who deserve to tumble free and soar on the winds. But, like songbirds trapped in a cage, children trapped in a classroom cannot express themselves, cannot capitalize on all that excess energy, and therefore their potential is being wasted.
The speaker addresses parents in the final two verses, asking how, “…if buds are nipped / …and if the tender plants are stripped / of their joy...How shall…the summer fruits appear?” That is, if children are stripped of their ability to play and have fun in the summer season, how shall they grow and develop to the fullest extent?
This poem is about allowing children to be children – to run and play outside, to experience the benefits of nature and of the seasons. This practice is equally as beneficial to them as academic learning, and in times such as those in the poem, arguably more so, for on this beautiful summer day the speaker can pay no attention to his lessons – he would rather be outside.
