I have long wondered why our American school system sucks. I want to know why we, here in America, are so far behind academically compared to our counterparts all over the world?
This article has some insight as to why:
"Fingers are pointed at various aspects of the schooling system—overcrowded classrooms, lack of funding, teachers who can't pass competency exams in their fields, etc. But these are just secondary problems. Even if they were cleared up, schools would still suck. Why? Because they were designed to."I think the article has some valid points. One aspect of the public school system that I believe presents a big problem is the structure. It is very systematic and inflexible and, thus, promotes conformity. Also, the systematic structure has negative repercussions such as the alienation of some students. I don't know if that was comprehensible since I didn't provide any examples, but I hope you at least get the jist of what I'm saying.
