Students are to be seen For centuries education has been basically the same, and it will probably remain the same for centuries to come. However, student reaction to education has changed drastically. Students of the past accepted instruction without doubts or questions. The few who dared to disagree were labeled rebels and cast out. Individuality was unheard-of because everyone knew that high school kids were too young to make their own decisions. By the time they progressed from students to human beings, they were programmed to be exactly what society wanted — silent, passive followers. The role of today’s students depends almost entirely upon the individual. He can choose his curriculum, classes (or lack of classes), teachers, clubs, friends and goals. Students are free to reason and question individual classes, curricula, and entire departments. Some even dared to reject the entire system. Many students are still silent, passive followers, but by choice, not necessity. More and more students are being heard as well as seen.
