Just ask Kyoko Mori. She went through both Japanese and American educational system. The Japanese system is much worse because not only does it have the same flaws as the American system, but it adds on to their mistakes by not allowing students to question the teacher. When students cannot question the teacher, they are not able to think for themselves and it further proves my point regarding us becoming robots. The largest flaw in this school system is entitled “reward.” This reward that students receive makes them study not for expanding their minds, but for some colorful sash that they will on graduation and a pointless title to put on your application.
74% would recommend a liberal arts education to a young person they know today, so they will be prepared for success in today’s global economy. In fact, 91% of employers want students who have experience in resolving and working with others, with different opinions, in college. The unemployment rate for Humanities and Arts majors was 9%, while the unemployment rate for Law and Public Policy was 9.2% in 2013. Regardless, the after effects of the recession make it difficult to find employment in any department and does not put liberal arts graduates at a
Hunter Sallee ENGL 1010-21 10 September 2013 Writers Notebook 4 Writers Notebook Four Is there one positive essay about our working industry anywhere? Now everything I have ever been told is being completely blown out of the water. I was always under the impression that the better your education the better paying your job will be. Now I’m being told that it’s the people who have higher educations that should be worried because its those jobs that are now being computerized. So when Obama said that the way to work on the job crisis is to invest in education that was wrong.
Kendrick Watts Moyer English 1020- 026 10 February 2014 Is College Really for Me…?? In the essay “Is College for Everyone” by Pharinet, discusses that it’s not mandatory to attend a college institution to obtain a well-paying job. In the beginning of the essay Pharient refrains to a statement that students hear every day, “You want get anywhere without your education (635).” This is a statement that many teachers and parents repeatedly preach to their child since they were kindergartener’s. Pharinet also explains in a reasonable tone, that having a college degree doesn’t always bring success in most students’ life. Mainly because, students are not properly preparing themselves to what seems to be the “real world”.
Policy analyst Elena Silva at the Education Sector research backs them up. Many studies showed that there is no relation between the length of the school year and academic achievement for most students. There are pros and cons to year round school so schools should decide if the pros are worth the extra time, effort and money when it doesn’t necessarily improve academic performance. 2. Year-Round Schools don’t Boost Learning, Study Finds ~ It was found
Vocational Education gives no chance for the person to prosper academically in any way, simply it teaches the children and some adults information that only pertains to a specific menial job. The Urban Indian Experience in America by Donald Lee Fixico portrays all of the challenges that are presented to Native Americans living in modern America. In this book, Fixico utilizes the account of a past native student, “David Richmond argues that the schools on the reservation paid little attention to the students grades because they were prejudice (Fixico,156).” Fixico’s book portray how the Indian Education Act of 1972 isn't protecting the Native Americans education, but rather just blanketing the problem. This account of Richmond shows a school system that is truly corrupt. He helps clear up that there are no possible paths that students may take to succeed and this leads ultimately to failure.
Department of Education that show that girls outshine boys in reading, writing, science, math, and have a lot higher educational aspirations. She also gives us data that shows that girls are starting to beat boys in enrolling in college, and that girls are more engaged in academically then boys. She implies that all of this has been happening because the educational doesn’t “favor” boys over girls anymore. I agree with that statement, but I also don’t think that the educational should let boys be “left behind” either. Yes, boys are bad at school; I can say this because I’m a boy and I see everything first hand, my peers are less and less interested in school and college, they often talk about just either dropping out of high school and getting a job, graduating and just work and not go to college or simply join the military.
Bearing in mind that this is the 21st century, there is nothing as important as education. The educational requirements in any field of employment require that a person’s level of education be rather high. Therefore, it is important that all the people in my community access high levels of education so that they can be able to cope with the changing world and in turn, cause my community to experience sustainable development. I have observed that youths from minority groups largely drop out of school before graduation and this has led to low graduation rates in our school districts. The low graduation rate is not good for my community because it will lead to increase in the degree of unemployment and this may trigger the rate of crime.
“Dumbing Down” America The one thing you were always pushed and told to do when you were in school was to get an education, so you can get a good job and be successful. You need an education to get anywhere in the world. Schools in America were regarded as the best schools in the world up to the 1970's. Today, compared to the development of Asian and European schools, American schools are ranked as some of the lowest schools. Some students are graduating from high school with little or more knowledge about the core classes, some people that graduate they say are illiterate.
But all of that changes on the day that they reach senior year in high school at the process of filling out the college application and financial-aid forms. Arriving to Central Washington and attended elementary like any other child, Aurora didn’t care about her illegal status. But all of that change as she arrived to senior year in high school. She knew that her future wasn’t going to hold the promise that she saw in her friends’ lives. When the time to filled out the college application and financial-aid forms, Aurora was unable to provide a social security number which deny her from federal and state financial aid, and at a public
