The way American high schools are organized does not align very well with what we know about learning. Students need both rigor and creativity.

The article itself is constructed as an opinion published for the public to see. It commences with a brew of relation with the audience and a question that makes one question themselves and leaves them with the interest of wanting to know more. The article also provides some type of resources and claims from different types of schools that they have collectively gathered in order to convey their point across their platform. In this case, the authors of this publication have a purpose in publishing this, and that is to depict a general picture of the "high school experience" by informing what students should really be expecting when transitioning themselves from middle to high school. Also, the authors might have a somewhat type of knowledge in this area since they include themselves in the first sentence, regarding initial relation with the readers, "we all know that a huge gap exists between the best and worst high schools...," "we all know," are key words that references inclusion. Lastly, the author is seen as biased, since again, the whole article is shown and said to be an opinion.
