The presentations were once again nicely done. Everyone had an interesting aspect of education to present today. Colleen had strong evidence supporting her argument, and it was interesting to learn the differences between learning for a deaf child and a hearing child. That information is important to have within the paper because it gives readers a background while also being very intriguing. Maggie's topic was also interesting since not only is special education a problem but also the minorities that are over-represented within this sector. There are many factors that go into this problem including class, race, gender and more. I find this topic related to my sociology class where we talk about social institutions and how that affects other people. Finally Eric's topic is quite a debate among many people. It was interesting to note that musicians and artists can receive money and not lose their scholarships unlike athletes. In my opinion, college athletes shouldn't be paid. Sports is a big part of universities and create much school spirit. They are receiving a full ride usually so that seems like plenty of money and they should be grateful for that opportunity. I think though, that the universities should focus on having their athletes finish school and do well.
