The article titled “Class Dismissed” seems to belong in the opinion column rather than being from a supposed objective and unbiased standpoint titled The New York Times Magazine. Articles too recently have been sharing their opinions rather than reporting facts and truthful events while the newspapers or magazines still claim to come from objective points of view. The validity of the author is questioned for a few reasons: he speaks for a minority of high-schoolers, Walter Kirn, the author, is 55 years old, he relied on his friend’s accounts of senior year for the article, and the author also acknowledges that the proposal he agrees with will probably be ineffective. The author, who graduated as a junior and has no experience as a senior, appears to have some pessimistic views towards students in their senior year.

It wasn’t until after reading this piece several times that I began encountering flaws within her reasoning. Although I agree with Bird that college is a waste of all these for some students, I also believe that Bird does not provide strong enough evidence to persuade her readers into thinking this. First off, when choosing the material to include in her essay, Bird should have used evidence that contained more certainty in order to solidify her claim. For example, “it is difficult to assess how many students are in college reluctantly. The conservative Carnegie Commission estimates

“3 Reasons College Still Matters” by Andrew Delbanco 3) “Surely, every American college ought to defend this waning possibility, whatever we call it. And an American college is only true to itself when it opens its doors to all - the rich, the middle, and the poor - who have the capacity to embrace the precious chance to think and reflect before life engulfs them. If we are all serious about democracy, that means everyone.” 4) In this part of the writing Andrew Delbanco tries to persuade his audience by using the pattern of logic that agrees with the overall argument but also considers another striking point of view to strengthen the argument (While these arguments are convincing, they must also consider…).

And in between, students are driven to take low paying and high paying jobs against their own consent, their interests are altered, personal decisions must be taken according to financial situations, and people dare to reject education (Choi, 32). Student loan debt weighs on billions of shoulders in the world and it is nearly impossible to be oblivious to all the harm that it has done and all the factors it takes part in affecting that it shouldn’t.
