ABSOLUTLY PATHETIC!

I am quite furious at the moment. And if you know me you know that doesn't happen very often. I have to write a persuasive essay on how a Tolerance/ anti-racism class whould be benneficial in schools. Well I interviewed three classes. A total of sixty-six students. I asked them if they knew what the Holocaust is. My answer: Eleven . . .. Eleven! Eleven out of Sixty-six people knew what the Holocaust was. Another thing every question I asked people kept asking me to rephrase it and not to use that big of words. I'm no Rocket Scientist but I can deffinitely tell there is a problem. Considering I merely used everyday words that you can hear on a daily basis and they still could not comprehend what I was asking thre is a problem. Since people don't know one of the biggest, most vital part of history. THERE IS A PROBLEM! What has happened to our school system? Are we merely just not trying to learn, do we not care, is it the teachers, or perhaps is it maybe the curiculum. I don't know but frankly something needs to be done. For the sake of the future of our intellect something NEEDS to be done! Not knowing something as big as the Holocaust is a main reason why we still have racism. I am researching this and eventually I WILL get my answer!
