Why do I want to teach
The two issues that I see currently in education are parent involvement and diversity. There are many similarities between problems today and educational difficulties in the past. One major problem with education today as well as in the past is the lack of education support from some parents. Some Parents do get involved while others seldom involve themselves in their children’s education. When the parents don’t check homework, make sure homework is done; keep up with their children’s grades is just a few examples. A lot of this is due to single parent homes, excessive work hours, and lack of support from family and friends. It is very problematic when diversity kicks in. In the past diversity between African Americans and Caucasians caused uproar in the school system. Today even though we have overcome that issue; we still have diversity between the social classes. Next, we used to be at the top of education in the world. We now trail behind Europe and Asia in every aspect of educational success, even though we spend more money on education. Americans spend far less time in class rooms with more homework then other countries (biggest-issues-facing-American-public-education-leaders-today paragraph 2). We also have a high percentage of high school graduates that are at low percentage in math and breading. This percentage jumps even higher among the population of Hispanics and African Americans.(www.articlemyriad.com)
In conclusion I believe that we should be more adamant about our children’s education. We all have to collaborate to make each child future successful.
