Left Behind, Way Behind

This articles was writing by Bob Herbert. The article is was about how kids are not getting enough education to succeed in college. Bob tell us how bad things are going. He said that "Only about two-thirds of American teenagers (and just half of all blacks, Latino and Native American teens) graduate with a regular diploma four years after they enter high school." He also said that "Of those who graduate, only about half read well enough to succeed in College." he also mention that some of them are not even in the level of math and science required in college. He makes good examples on how these needs to be change. He shows percentages about his argument I think that when you use articles about the argument that you are making it makes the reader understand how bad it really is. I think that the article worked for me because it told me what the problem was and he supported his side of argument with good examples.

 I think that the article would of been better if he would of added more examples and also if he would of wrote solutions to the problem. I also think that Bob should of added more percentages to explain how bad this problem it is. Another thing that I would off change would of been to make it a little bet interesting. It was a little boring to read and that made it harder to read it. So I think he should of found a way to make it more enjoyable. I think he should of also compared our education with other countries to show the readers where we stand. Although these are some of the things that I would change the article was written pretty good.
