The United States is considered one of the greatest countries in the world. We have the opportunity to pursue our interests, our ambitions, and we have the opportunity to attain the best life possible. However, many of the citizens, in the United States, have failed to reach their goals or ambitions. One of the major factors has to do with the education that they have recieved. Whether it was the lack of funding, un-qualified teachers, or people who just did not care, many did not receive a proper education. As a result, hundreds of thousand of people are struggling to get-by. They are living off of well-fare, they are finding anyway possible to get food, shelter, and clothes. And it does not stop with them. These people have now had children, and their children are receiving the same kind of education as they did: a lack of one. The cycle is continuing, and the number of people who are not well-educated is growing. As these people stuggle to get by only small changes have been made to the schools and the quality of teachers and education. The No Child Left Behind Act has made a dent into this broad issue, but many of the schools, principals, and teachers are reluctant to abide by its conditions. My question is can more be done to quicken the placement of change in schools across the nation? If so, what do you suggest? Do you think that the federal should have such a large role in the education system? Think about these questions and post your ideas. Thank you.
