I have been working on my second part of my English paper about School Assessment for Memphis City Schools and have found some rather unpleasing percentages! How much of the population of Memphis has graduated high school? Even worse how many do you think have graduated college? Get ready…Only 25.6% residents in Memphis have a college degree and 51.5% with high school diplomas. Citizens of Memphis wonder why there are numerous amounts of homeless people, people living off welfare, and family’s who can not even pay there own bills, and this is the reason. The board of education claims that it is because of the loss of goals. It is as if they are living in a cycle of downfall. If their parents did not attend college why should they? That is why the Board of Education for Memphis City School’s adopted the brand “Every Child, Every Day, College Bound.” It is not enforcing the students that everyone of them absolutely have to go to college, but rather helping them realize that everyone of them “can” and our now given the opportunity to go to college. The district is saying that it believes “every child should be educated as if they were!”
