    “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.…

    The Catholic Churych teaches that proper education and formation of every person should be a first priority of a society. Unfortunately, the way that education is provided in the U.S. today results in poorest children of the country pretty consistently receiving an education substantially worse to that which is available to those of our middle and upper classes. American funding for public primary and secondary schools is largely based off of property taxes collected from the area which results of course in less money available per student in poor school districts. The substandard funding received in poor school districts leaves poor children with schooling grounds that frankly promote failure. There is an undeniable disparity in high school graduation rates, and test scores between the general student population and those living beneath the poverty line. The poor education received by poor children in America is resulting in communities as a whole remaining in poverty over the course generations. The fact that the injustice of such poor opportunities being provided to these children says a lot about our society and none of it is good. The current system of providing children with free and open schools throughout the United States needs to be drastically changed insofar as eliminating the difference in opportunity provided for children of different economic classes.…

    As the oldest and first generation Russian- American daughter of two humble immigrants, with limited knowledge of American schools and there system and what they teach in school , homework had been my greatest obstacle. My parents were able to teach me the basics. Such as numbers and letters, how to add and subtract, multiply and divide but anything after the few years of basics, I was left to figure out anything else on my own. Sure they tried but it wasn’t what they grew up learning. My father was a drop out because it was hard holding up a family farm without any hands helping so he couldn’t help me and my mother and I never had a good relationship, so a wasn’t able to come up to her and ask her to help. And so they were not able to help…

    Public Education

    Public education has been an important part of our country throughout history. After the Declaration of Independence, fourteen states had their own constitutions by 1791. Seven of those states had specific provisions regarding education. Thomas Jefferson was one of the first American leaders to suggest a public school system. He believed that education should be under the control of the government, available to all people regardless of their status in society, and free from religious biases. Before the 1840s, the education system was only available to the wealthy. However, many reformers wanted all children in the United States to receive the benefits of education. Two reformers, Horace Mann and Henry Barnard created the Common School Journal, which was a newspaper that brought the issue of education out into the public. Because of their efforts, free public education at the elementary level was available for children by the end of the 19th century. Throughout the 1900s, many schools were created due to increased demand for skilled workers. As the 20th century progressed, many states began to enact legislation requiring people to go to school, and enrollment soared. That is how our public education system got to where it is today. There are still many issues regarding our public education system, such as some areas teaching better than others, and some classrooms having better materials than others. Local and Federal governments have always been involved in schools, making sure that they teach to their full potential. There are many congressional bills that have been passed, and many that are fighting to be passed. A very important bill that is out there today is the Student Bill of Rights, or H.R. 1295.…

    Keeping schools “up to date” and equipped with all the new technology requires a lot of money that is not always in the school’s budget. Having supplies and equipment like new textbooks for English and stadium lights for the soccer team can get to be costly. This is wear corporate sponsorships can come in very handy. My soccer team and many other sports teams at my school are currently fundraising to build a new soccer complex and install new lights and irrigation systems to the baseball, softball, and football fields. Unfortunately, this fundraising can only go so far. Luckily, corporations like Pepsi have been generous enough to donate money to support our school’s athletic program. In return, they will receive a brick outside of each field with the…
