Transcript

00:02

Okay writing shmoop er's just to maurine this section here

00:05

we go students in school that's what we're going to

00:08

analyze here and let's go hunt for it here is

00:10

top of the last paragraph The fact is that most

00:13

students in school who take art classes are not going

00:16

to be professional musicians painters dancers or actors and boy

00:22

is that true So he kind of like rubbing it

00:25

in and they end up working here it's much like

00:28

meat on never end up bitter and angry about it

00:31

either Just mind you i'm just saying well let's fix

00:33

this thing think about it allowed here to be a

00:35

student You must be in school since we're talking about

00:39

students in their natural habitat school the word students it's

00:43

efficient all on its own right Why we have to

00:46

say students in school like soon out of school that

00:48

doesn't make any sense but it's pretty safe to assume

00:50

that students are taking their classes in school saying students

00:53

and in school is redundant repetitive and boy noticed how

00:56

many problems we've had where redundancy is like the enemy

01:00

here So good word to the wise if you think

01:02

about all this the same concepts true for students in

01:05

academic environments that's repetitive while people is technically fine it's

01:10

not specific enough because it could mean people who aren't

01:12

enrolled in school but who happened to be taking art

01:15

classes or some weird thing like that And this sentence

01:18

is specifically about people who are enrolled in school So

01:21

we'll stick with students as our answer Be students in

01:24

school Kids stay in school unless it's really expensive and

01:29

you're going to be a carpenter anyway Then just go 00:01:32.025 --> [endTime] to carpentry school about that
