7. Schools should be for education. At present, they are only creativly so. They have attempted to serve an all-encompassing social function, trying to be all things to all people. In the process they have failed miserably at what they were originally formed to accomplish. Example Direct Quote: Schools have been forced into the role of serving as “an all-encompassing social function, trying to be all things to all people.” (Sipher 2) Example Paraphrase: Roger Sipher concludes his essay by insisting that schools have failed to fulfill their primary duty of education because they try to fill multiple social functions (2). Example Summary: Sipher believes schools need to refocus on just being educators. "Purdue OWL: Quoting, Paraphrasing, and Summarizing." Welcome to the Purdue University Online Writing Lab (OWL).
