Compare American Education To Other Countries
Sarafina In comparison to other countries how much do Americans take for granted? If you hadn't ever got the chance to watch this movie, you might not think that education in other countries was much different from America.

There are many people who go to an American school and everyday they complain about how much work they have to do or they even complain about just having to go to school. Well in other countries there are kids that are really happy if they even get the opportunity to go to a school.

    Why They Excel Fox Butterfield Summary

    Today in America education is not highly valued in our society as it were in the past As our education value decline other country in Asia (such as China, Japan, Korea, India, Pakistan, e.t.c) excel over us.

    Mann American Education Analysis

    Mann was critical of American education because he believed it was not sufficient enough to make the republic what it should be. He believed, as did many others of his time, that a good republican citizen had to be very well-educated, and the American education system did not live up to Mann’s standards because almost a third of people in Massachusetts (his home state) did not even attend school.…

    Pros And Cons Of American Education System

Our healthcare system is not only extremely expensive, but almost useless, and our educational system doesn't get our kids anywhere. As great as America may seem, our educational system is flawed and our healthcare system is getting us nowhere.…

    The State of Public Education System in the U.S.

    “Against school” is argumentative that tell us about how the public education system in capacitates, Gatto claims that the public education system causes children to become bored with themselves, to conform to the way of the school and it’s teachers, and it causes them to lack the ability to deal with issues that go on the real world, outside of school. Gatto’s explanation for this is that it is partially the teachers fault. The students become bored because the teacher is actually bored with teaching the subject. Students would be adamant to learn if they were given and education and not schooling. They need to be encouraged to have the qualities to succeed in life instead of sitting in a prison style that he believes that the student should be able to manage themselves.…

    Gifts To America Essay

The rights that come to education is that anybody can entwine, no matter how individuals were in school before that, race, or gender. Education also displays a way to success in life. For example, education can demonstrate how to do a job that a person would like and be successful with.

    Children In American Schools

    There are a lot of things wrong with American schools all over the country. The buildings don’t meet buildings codes, students have forced to learn in dangerous conditions. The one thing I found the most disturbing about these schools was one school didn’t even have ovens in the cafeteria to feed the students. The students are sent out into the city to fast food restaurants, gas stations, or even bars to eat their lunch. They aren’t getting a healthy, fulfilling lunch the way they should when our schools make them for us. Also, it’s very dangerous for kids of a younger age to go out on their own for lunch. They could get lost, not come back on time, or get hurt.…

While this may be true on a large scale, if you narrow your line of scope to American schools you would probably see something a little different.…

    Asian American Education System

    What I do will like to mention are five countries, that opposite to our situation, they are in the rank of the top of the better scores in maths, science and reading. These countries are: 1.Finland, 2.Japan, 3. South Korea 4. New Zealand 5. Canada . Anu Partanen in her article “What americans Keep Ignoring About Finland’s School Success.” December 29th, 2011. “The survey compares 15-year-olds in different countries in reading, math, and science. Finland has ranked at or near the top in all three competencies on every survey since 2000, neck and neck with super achievers such as South Korea and Singapore. In the most recent survey in 2009 Finland slipped slightly, with students in Shanghai, China, taking the best scores, but the Finns are still near the very top.” For the last results obtained since 2000, I choose Finland to be considered as a role model we should follow in order to start a new page in our history in order to transform our actual education system into an efficient and quality system in order to improve of the lives of children, teachers and students in…
