The current, test based, American Educational system fails to instill in student a desire for life- long learning and does not prepare them to be well rounded and successful adults. A change in educational philosophy needs to be made in this country before it is to late. Educations is what defines a person life and without a proper education, people wont be able to go anywhere in life. Students usually study for their test and forget what they studied the next day.

People are not going where they are supposed to after schooling. There is a book, That Used To Be Us by Thomas L. Friedman and Michael Mandelbaum, which can prove this.…

There is symbolism shown when there is a picture of a tank going down the hallway representing that the “School halls were a battleground” (Koyczan 3). This shows how they were all alone and they had to fight everyday even though they found themselves “outnumbered day after wretched day” (Koyczan 3). This shows how hard it was for them to just go to school, because each and everyday they had to walk through those halls or as they called it, a “battleground”.…

Every day, somewhere in the world, someone is getting bullied and it’s your choice whether or not to do something about it.

The “consequence” of telling on someone is what most people think about first, so why put yourself in a place where you don’t need to be right? If it’s not your problem then it’s not a problem to you at all? These thoughts are the reasons why bullying is never stopped.…
