TYAK READING

This reading went into a lot of depth. It was confusing at times, but some points were very clear. I think the major point that we got out of it as a class was, "Should democracy be taught in schools"? I believe that it is inevitable that we do. Whether it is teaching about the actual form of government, we are teaching the principles of it. If you really think about it, democracy is part of everyday schooling. You have the right to voice your opinion in class, you work together, there is always competition, etc. We teach kids to stand up for what they believe is right and shape their minds with the correct values, morals, and beliefs, that an American citizen should have. So overall this reading went into more depth than the past readings and went into more detail than just statistics.
