School Daze.

"'You see, it's not only important to keep these fourteen-to-eighteen-year-olds off the job market, it's also essentials to keep them at home as non-wage-earning consumers.'" Page 60
Response:
It was really interesting how he said this. I never thought of school like this, but reading this made me think about more things. I agree on what he is saying, same as what Julie was saying. Because Julie was basically saying that most teenagers learn things and just forget about it the next year in school. So basically teenagers are just in school to stay of the streets, and then when they graduate that's when they are really learning how to survive later on in life. Also in this quote Ishmael talks about to keep them as non-wage-consumers, which causes more jobs for older people and makes parents spend there money on the kids school stuff. so it makes the parents work harder also. The school system just seams really messed up. And how Ishmael was explaining it to Julie mad it a clearer picture and easier to understand.
