Education

                The United States education system has been hated on for the past few decades for not posting very good numbers and not keeping up with other countries around the world.

                I’m going to do three blogs this week, the bad about our education system, the good, and I feel the main problem with education – the teachers.

                So let’s first address some issues that have been discussed about how are our country is lagging in education. We are far behind some of the leaders in reading, math and science proficiency. With countries like South Korea, Japan, Canada, and Germany at the top, we can see the United States, the greatest country in the world, falling far behind other countries. Education should be a major priority in our country but to a lot of people, it’s just a bore.

                First everyone’s, including students’; attitude towards school needs to be changed. Education is the future to successful and world-leading country. Students need to realize they are the future and education is what they need to get a brighter future. Learning needs to be cool, nerds need to be the cool ones, and working hard in school should be a normal thing, not just for the smart people.

                I feel like although some programs offered by schools are amazing, they can always do more. Adding funding to schools will always increase student performance and their ability to learn. New opportunities can lead to a better education system, letting our generation of students become the brightest of the bright.
