In “If I ran the Zoo”, John Leo writes about his school as
if it were a zoo and he was the manager. He speaks about all the things he
would change if he were the one in charge. Among these things are changes in
the curriculum, changes in the required courses, no weird stories, no fun
classes, etc. I agree to a certain point that some things like weird stories
and keeping remedial classes. However, some of the fun classes he says he would
cut out as well as the classes that end in “studies”. Although they aren’t always
the most fun, I agree with the university in that these classes are essential
for a person to get a basic understanding of every study the college has to
offer and that it also gives a broad understanding of the world around us. That
is why I wouldn’t cut as many things as John Leo says he would cut.
