I really enjoyed reading the section on High School. The whole section basically just described how high schools prepare students for high school. In order to pass high school students are required to take two years of math beyond algebra, two years of science,three years of history, and four years of English, and is often required to take a second language. I personally do not think high school at all prepares you for college. I can honestly say I went through 90% of high school without doing barely any homework and rarely ever studied and maintained straight A's the whole time. The papers we had to write were very easy and didn't require much to get a good grade. I knew I would be in shock coming into college, but not to the degree that I experienced. I started studying for test a week before the exam and still did terrible on it. I definitely think they should make the college prep courses in high school harder.
