The American Way Analysis

Many people think that the “American way” is the best way, but is it? No, being that we are 14th place in the global stance of education. We clearly are doing something wrong. To start off every student is different, so teaching all the students the same is illogical, not the mention students are being forced to memorize irrelevant information and throw it out on a test and hope for the best, additionally teachers is focusing on taking away the technology in the classroom and focusing on textbooks that are older than the school itself. It is important to realize that every student is different, so teaching every student the same is illogical. Some students are visual while other students are kinesthetic, but schools still teach everyone the same while knowing that. In the YouTube “I Sued The School System” it states “All students learn differently, so we should be implementing a system in which students are getting the proper education.” He states that he wants students to get the “proper education” by
that he means we should grant students the privilege to be in classes where they distinguish themselves rather than waste their potential. Additionally, Students are taught to memorize irrelevant information for the big test at the end of the week. Some teachers say that the world is full of test, but the world is full of real logical tests not test about irrelevant things that truly don’t matter. On the website TheOdysseyonline.com it states, “In many other countries (Finland and China, notably) students are given fewer tests...” Meaning that in other countries they barley test their students and they're doing remarkably better than ours. Which means schools systems should stop forcing students to memorize irrelevant information and taking a test. Not only are students being forced to memorize irrelevant information and all learn the same material, but also the teachers are focusing on taking away technology in schools.
Teachers should be focused on trying to incorporate more technology in their lesson. On the website Schoolreview.com It states, “…By bringing education and technology together, it can make students be interested and attentive.” By incorporating more technology students will learn better and learn to love school more. Even though our school system for some people may work for the majority it does not. Although people may believe that the “American way” is the best way these reasons show otherwise. All students are different, they don’t need to memorize irrelevant material, and teachers do not need to be taking technology out of classrooms. In schools, we need to make our education system so that America is not only number one for sports and such, but so that we are number one in
education.
