Quoting, Paraphrasing and Summarizing

QUOTING. According to the author, the crisis is not present in all schools. "Private schools have no such problem. They can fail or dismiss students, knowing such students can attend public school"(Page #).

SUMMARY. In this essay, Roger Sipher is argumenting why schools should get rid of the attendance laws. He tries to make a point on the mandatory attendance for students that are not really interesting in learning, therefore the students that are interested in learning are being interrupted by those who dont. By abolishing these laws, sais roger, not only schools would no longer loose money, but students progress would be reflected on their grades and these grades are probably going to show a higer average than it did before when students not interested continued to be part of the education program.

PARAPHRASING. Roger states in one of the paragraphs that school is not a place were children go to spend some time out of their houses and a place were there are some teachers incharge of them and taking care of them. In stead, roger sais, is a place were people interested in learning can go and use their time wisely without being interrupted by those who dont find a meaning for learning and for the importance of education.
