True Value of Global

When taking Global, it makes me wonder why other classes at Los Altos High School aren't like this one in particular. Everyone knows I transferred in late to this class, and it was by far one of the best decisions I have made this year. Not only does Global give the opportunity to learn things that are more than relevant to our lives now and what is to come in our future, but it also gives us the privilege to speak about real issues and real things that bother us. I can guarantee that in other classes it's not the same case. Being in the regular English curriculum for the first couple weeks of school, everything was just so planned out, censored, and if you didn't agree with the teacher then your answer would most likely be wrong. In Global however, getting the chance to bring a different type of answer to the discussion, which may be different from the instructor, is something that's more than helpful and important. I feel like in the regular curriculum, like the English class I was in, it teaches one-dimensional thinking. Something that produces ignorant youths from high school out into the world and just learning that one person's way is the right way. That's just wrong to me and I also feel as if that's the number one cause for many of these huge events that are portrayed everywhere. Ignorance is something that regular classes teach, but the mission for Global is to stomp out the ignorance that can be created by our school. I truly believe that's the true value of taking Global Connections.
