Our nation is at risk. This article was interesting to read because they depicted the overwhelming fact that America's education is descending. According to the article the overall performance or lack thereof, has allowed other countries to catch up to and even surpass us in what is thought to be one of the greatest educational systems. Students graduating from high school are not graduating with the skills necessary that prepare them for success. Test scores have lowered greatly and America is no longer considered to be the forefront in education. This is a problem, with the opportunities we have provided as a nation to have a successful education system, we are not meeting those standards. How can we improve?
I agree with the article, yet I also believe that with time we will start to see some positive changes. We have begun to recognize our poor performance and hopefully this will push the educational system to do a better job. Clearly what we've been doing lately has not been working. The traditional style is out the door, it can no longer be used as the fundamental teaching method. As a future teacher, it starts with me. I, as well as the rest of the future teachers, need to make a commitment to help make the change our nation needs. We are well-equipped to do so.
