Summarizing, Paraphrasing, and Quoting
QUOTE: ¨The solution to this problem is simple: Abolish compulsory-attendance laws and allow only those who are committed to getting an education to attend.¨(Sipher, Roger)
PARAPHRASING: Roger Sipher states that children thaht go to private shcools and are failing, it would´t matter if they get kicked out because they are sure that they will end up in a public school, but the public school can´t deny this student and cannot expell him because it would be against the law and even if the school reputation is damaged, it doesnt matter.
SUMMARY: What Roger Sipher staes on this essay is that kids should be forced to go to school and that if kids do not attend, education will collapse but it would be even better because it would create a healthier enviroment to learn. Also the education level would rise in all the public schools. Sipher also critizices that students don´t do anything productive and do not learn nothing important because they know thath with mediocre work, they will graduate, also schools are not playing the role of schools but to be an institution that gives all the people a base for life.
