The Common School and the Common Good

The Article, The Common School and The Common Good, in the Citizenship Now Book, Mainly talks about how Students from a very young age are given tough circumstances that do not allow them to get the best education they could possibly receive. It talks about how moving so frequently puts the students in a disadvantage as appose to students who stay committed to a single school. It gives examples of how the United States faces this problem and are known for having children move to three different schools within just Elementary school. It also mentions how Switzerland has the greatest solution for a better atmosphere of education. They Specify the students from a young age and make sure that nothing interferes or distracts them from their opportunity in success in a specific field.
I do not generally agree with this idea that a student has to be stuck in one single educating building. It all depends on the student. Of course your going to have those selective few that just do not do well moving around, but students should still be able to do what is asked of them in any class room by any teacher. If a student is assigned to read two chapters of a book and write a response to it, what difference does it make in which school he or she does it in. The bottom line is that the student needs to be self motivated enough to take on their own responsibilities.
