1. hooks- I ranked hooks essay number one because I felt like it was the most thorough and reasonable. Several of the other authors did not seem to have the same effect as she did and I felt like she made the strongest argument.
2. Aronson- Aronson made a very good case about the issues going on in these Arizona schools and why they were happening. Sometimes the truth can be uncomfortable but it is discussed in a very reasonable fashion.
3. Large- The article that included Larges thoughts was a book review. It discusses what the book is about "Grit", and how kids need character. It also briefly touches on attachment parenting, and how that helps children in the beginning, but kids need adversity to grow character. I felt like it was not very well rounded and that it did not discuss things very thoroughly.
4. Boyce- Boyces approach was through mindful thinking and empathy. While these are all nice concepts, I would love to see some science behind why he thinks this is the key to everything.
5. Gilyard- I ranked Gilyard last because it felt wistful for the good ole days without giving any reason for his position. He discusses the humanities being cut, and says they should not be, but gives no explanation as to why they shouldn't be, he just talks about DuBois.
