Alright i started off with the op ed called "The seat not taken" thinking it would be like the road not taken or something along those lines, i was wrong. This op ed is the telling of, well racism. I for one cant believe this is happening to this guy, he says that most people wouldn't sit next to him on the train he takes to and from work because he is black, and he gave some good back up knowledge for his theory. I am from Montana you don't see many blacks out here but still when i do i don't treat them any different than anyone else i would happen to meet. There is no reason why you wouldn't sit next to this guy on the bus, he is a well off middle class citizen not a druggy or anything like that. He does seem to always look on the bright side though, saying that he kinda likes it since he always has more room for himself.
After that i went on to read the op ed "if schools were like american idol" just cause of the name really. This one might have been more interesting if i could have read the whole thing, it cuts you off saying that you need to subscribe to read on, but whatever. It started off by saying that in America there is a number of drop out high schools but they only relate to about seven percent of the total number of high schools which isn't bad really. Despite this the seven percent that these schools are is also the cause of 81% of the total student who end up dropping out, that's quite a change in percent if you ask me anyways.
Lastly i read the op ed "facebook, i just cant quit you" once again only because of the name. I can actually relate to this problems she is talking about, without a facebook or myspace you do seem to have a shut out appearance to the public. I myself continually find it hard to do homework for example with having a facebook. Its not like i try to do it, it has almost become a reflex when i get on the internet to go to facebook, which really hinders on the whole homework thing since really whats more interesting?
