Exercise #2

High school training

Malcome London

My Transcript

Good evening everyone my name is mohamed  aljunaibi today I'll be talking about high school training by Malcome London.  After watching several Ted Talks, I stumbled across a poem by Malcome London. This Ted talk resonated with me the most because it broke down the issues that present themselves in high school and describes it as our “training ground.” This poem reminded me of a past course where  the poet Malcome states that in high school we never learn “how to swim” but then basically tossed into the real world High school in my opinion is a training ground because that is the time in a person’s life where they are being shaped into the person that they will become. If we do not equipped our children with the proper tools, how do we expect them to adapt and function once outside of high school؟London speaks about how the teachers do not make enough money for the issues that they experience every day. Did you know it is a true shame that teachers are one of the lowest paid professions but they teach to some of the highest paid professionals.

I believe whole heartedly in what Malcolm London was talking about high school is a training ground. I believe high school gives us are start into adulthood and beyond.
