PLN 18-"Clueless in America"

I finished reading a aspiring blog to learning by Will Richardson in Weblogg-ed titled "Clueless in America." It was about the many students dropping out of school every 26 seconds and the way that many wrong paths contribute to the society.
This was my response:
"This is a great blog to make me realize that America does need a wake up call at times. It is quite astounding the many of students dropping out of school. I believe that those students are wasting a part of their education life, while many out there do not have such a opportunity to even pick up a book. Education is so essential in the world, it applies to about everything. Education helps you realize the important aspects and personal styles, the chance to make your life out of a strong passion you desire, and generally to make a living. Students need to really open their eyes to the control they’re giving to their life. Parents as well must pay attention to what their sons/daughters what may be doing, or nobody else will. Wondering about these young adult’s dropouts of school is much more then the work they refuse. There could be many possibilities of dropouts; peer pressure, friends, family, depression, etc. This blog is certainly a good reminder of having the great importance to learn and creating your own life the way you choose."
