At least once a year, whoever is in charge comes up with a plan to save the American Education System and every year, nothing changes. If anything, it seems to get worse.  

High school is a live wire; it seems like that sometimes. The rest of your life is determined from ages 14 to 18 when your hormones are cranked up to the max. You are exposed to new things, and make understandable mistakes. But that does not matter because all a college sees is a file and a couple of letters. 

“They expect you guys to make these decisions at a time in your lives where there’s never a mean,” said an Etowah math teacher who shall remain anonymous.  

You are treated like a baby for 17 years, and then you turn 18, and even though you still have to ask to go to the bathroom, you can vote for the president of the United Sates. Then high school ends, and suddenly the world is no longer about raising your hand or getting caught sneaking off campus for lunch.

Students are too young to deal with the stress upon their shoulders, but they do not have a choice. One mistake can change your life, and teenagers make a lot of mistakes.
