"Title: The case against college
The general argument made by author Dale Stevens in her/his work, people don’t need college to be successful in life.
More specifically, Stevens argues that, college kills creativity, makes people in debt, and people can learn better if they go out and experience the world for themselves.
He writes, “the problem is hat schools kill creativity.”
In this passage, Stevens is suggesting that there is an alternative to schooling and if one would “escape” the school system, they can maintain their creativity which would help them in their lives.
In conclusion, Stevens’s belief is that college is not necessary for everyone and it can be hurt people’s future rather than help it.
In my view, Stevens is right because it is true that a large percent of students go into debt after college. However, he is wrong because in society today, many employers look for people with at least a 4-year degree from college and it is very hard to get a job without at least that. Also, before people go into college, those who have already been in normal school has had their creativity killed before they get into college so college would not be the problem.
More specifically, I believe that maybe there could be an alternative to schooling before college so creativity could be salvaged."

Topics for assignment #4:
How so much of school now a days are based purely on tests and students dont really seek out to learn rather than just do well on tests.

if college did not cost so much, would it still be so bad?

does college still hurt creativity if people are majoring in an art subject but still required to take STEM subject classes
