Shut Your Pie Hole

Shut Your Pie Hole 

            I find myself becoming more and more frustrated with several of the students in class. Nearly every time a project is assigned or a dead line set it seems as if someone has something to say about it. I am getting tired of my class mates complaining about the amount of work that has been assigned. Your in college, so called “large amounts of work” in several classes is to be expected.

            In my opinion I find the education system to be more of a filtration method than anything else. I like to think of high school as the first filter with a very large gauge. Some of the students or as I like to call them “unwanted contaminates” are to large to fit through the holes and are subsequently left behind ending their education. The associate’s degree is the second filter with slightly smaller holes. Again, some of the unwanted contaminants are too large to fit through the holes and left behind. This process continues, and the filters become finer and finer as you “fall” through the “filtration system”, until you reach your intended goal (degree) or you become too large to fit through the holes. This process ensures that there are no students in any specific field that don’t deserve to be there.
