If I Ran the Zoo

In “If I Ran the Zoo” John Leo is talking about how if he ran the zoo (school) he would make  a few changes. He says that he would make it so there were basically no fun mythological classes that can be taken for an easy A. He also says that he would hire more teachers, and I am assuming that he is doing this so students are able to take the right amount of classes and they do not have to fight over spots in a class. I also think that John Leo is trying to say that TAs do not get paid enough for the amount of work they put in. So, he hopes to pay the TAs more and give them more credit for their job. Finally I think that John Leo is trying to cut out remedial classes because the teachers for those classes just give out the A so the students pass the class. He says that they should study more at home and put in the extra effort and work for their grades. All of Leo’s points are valid and I agree with everything that he said.
