American education has been littered with failed fads and foolish ideas for the past century.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The failures that we have are sometimes expensive educations.
If American schooling is inadequate now, just imagine how much more obsolete it will be when today's kindergarten students graduate from high school in just 12 years.
There's been an unquestionable decline in American culture. The education system is thin on the ground. People don't read as deeply and at length as they used to. And the media has been scattered into so many cable channels.
The school curriculum today, particularly American history, is a shame.
It's certainly no secret that American students are taught less and less about the canonical literary masterpieces of the past, and there is no shortage of people who believe that what little they're required to learn in school is still too much.
Our educational establishment is failing; it is past time for courage, honesty, and action commensurate with the need, particularly here in the United States.
American history has fallen more and more into the hands of academics.
Education is a precondition to survival in America today.
I'm not one of those who thinks the only way to fix what's wrong with American education is to throw more money at it. We also need to do it much better.
Education is a fundamental principle of what made America a success. We can't afford to throw any young people away.
