I agree with Keith Parsons in the fact that we are now adults and our education from here on out is on us. We are to make the responsible decisions on whether to do homework or go out with our friends. I disagree with him on the aspect that we are just suppose to automatically know everything there is to know about college. Parsons even stated himself that we are coming the a different culture. We can not just be thrown into the fire. We are just 18 and 19 years old. Three months ago we had to ask to go to the bathroom and to get out of our seats. Now in some classes, we do not even have to show up. That is a big difference. Parsons can not expect to accomplish his goal of making us stronger individuals with the idea that he is going to get paid no matter what. That makes it seem like he does not care about educating. That sounds like he just in it for a paycheck. I agree with him that he can not make someone learn if they do not want to but he can not put all first year students into that category. The students that don’t care, don’t show up, and don’t do their work; don’t last very long. Parsons should not lump all first year into the category of not caring and not being able to think. We are in college for a reason. We are not dumb individuals. We just need help in our first to be successful.
