"Let Teen-Agers Try Adulthood" Question For You to Analyze 4.

Botstein's article is entitled "Let Teen-Agers Try Adulthood." What assumptions does he make about the idea of adulthood? Do you agree with them? Why or why not? Does his proposal really offer teens a way to "try adulthood"

In Botstein's article he thinks that instead of graduating at the age of eighteen kids need to graduate when they are sixteen. In the story he says "Secondary education must be rethought. Elementary school should begin at age 4 or 5 and end with the sixth grade. There should be only for years of secondary school" instead of the six years we have now No, I do not agree with them because kids are not ready to be in the real world and be on the own when they are just sixteen years of age. I think being eighteen years old would be a more effective way to being successful and more responsible. They have not fully matured and might not even have hit puberty yet. Even some eighteen year old kids are not even matured enough to be on there on let alone a sixteen year old kid. Yes, his proposal offer teens a way to "try adult hood" but I do not think all of the kids would be successful in this type of program because of lack of responsibility and maturity. There is two different things from thinking that it could work and having it actually work. If it is stressful enough for a eighteen year old to go live on their own, attend colleges, learn to manage time, and money think how hard it would be for a sixteen year old to do that.
