What would happen in a world where it was the child's choice to go to school? Would you go to school?

If I lived in a world where it was the child's choice to go to school, I probably would not go. School is not all that bad but I would like to sleep in more and not have to do homework. I think that our world would be very divided if we had a choice to go to school because their would be the smart ones and the dumb ones. The smart ones would be rich and smart with a good job, while the dumb ones are poor and dumb because they couldn't get a decent job. Their would probably be more dumb ones than smart ones and the schools probably wouldn't get enough students because I am sure that most people do not want to go to school which would lead our world to problems. We wouldn't have any new inventions and have pretty much what we have now.

Writing Center

My first trip to the writing center was not at all what I was expecting. I was expecting to be told I was an awful writer and that I couldn't fix it. I was nervous and scared to walk in and have my literary analysis rough drat worked on, but I was still scared out of my mind. I knew it needed work and I had a mental block on my last couple of paragraphs. When I walked in the nice lady at the desk went and got a writing center helper. I went at my English block because that was the only time they had open before the rough draft was due. While I waited for my writing center helper I chatted with my friends who were in their for study hall and that helped clear my mind and not be as scared. By the time the writing center helper came, I was nervous but not as nervous. He made me read my thesis statement and said it was good. After that he helped me with my mental blocks and helped give me suggestions on what I needed to work on and what ideas I could put in my paper. When my session was over I felt better about my paper and feel that he really helped me. It was a great experience and i will not be nervous next time I go because they were nice and helpful!
