General Redundancy

As time progresses, students are weaseled into spending more and more years in school- years that they could be spending starting careers and earning money to secure a comfortable future. When you look at the current system, our college age students are spending a minimum of two years completing general education, which are essentially repeats of high school classes. Why delegate extra years and extra money into learning the same subjects twice when we can focus our time more efficiently?

I propose that we change the focus of our current school system. High school courses should function more like the general education courses required of college students- a general basis on which to decide general interests. College should be spent broadening our horizons to discover more specific career paths within general subjects of our choosing, not repeating courses that we have already determined our level of interest in. Students should be able to experiment with more career oriented courses in that first year or so when they would normally have taken general education courses.

Make college a place for American students to pursue their goals and leave the GEs to high school.
