In America, we have 19th century school conditions and a curriculum that prepares our kids for the 1990s.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Today in America, we are trying to prepare students for a high tech world of constant change, but we are doing so by putting them through a school system designed in the early 20th Century that has not seen substantial change in 30 years.
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.
The school curriculum today, particularly American history, is a shame.
We need to prepare our kids for a 21st Century economy, and we're not doing it with our schools.
American education is still the wonder of the world, and we must open the schoolhouse doors, not close them.
Instead of a national curriculum for education, what is really needed is an individual curriculum for every child.
We are in the middle of an education recession.
Americans want students to get the best education possible. We want schools to prepare children to become good citizens and members of a prosperous American economy.
As somebody who visits countless schools, I see firsthand the dire situation our educational system faces.
Our education system was developed for an industrial era where we could teach certain skills to our children and they were able to use these skills for the rest of their lives working productively in an industry.
