Comments on: Is the United States education system in good shape? http://www.urzola.com/2008/09/28/is-the-united-states-education-system-good/ por Carlos Urzola Wed, 05 Nov 2008 14:11:09 -0500 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: admin http://www.urzola.com/2008/09/28/is-the-united-states-education-system-good/comment-page-1/#comment-4 admin Fri, 03 Oct 2008 13:38:16 +0000 http://www.urzola.com/?p=61#comment-4 Sir, I agree in part, with most of your blog info. I do think that schools are teaching to the test more and more and it ain't getting the job done. Most teachers don't support these methods but are helpless with the administrators pushing it down their throats. And their livelihood depending on the test scores. I think, maybe, that's the overall plan by higher ups too. Maybe this gov. of a "few" controlling "many" has a undermining stance to NOT produce future leaders, because it is a threat to their very existance as controllers of the masses. It may seem a far fetch story but all you have to do is see what is coming out of our schools and how equipped to lead they are now. Maybe you at least might consider such a possibility. As you stated the colleges are just a money making racket for the majority of students and a few make it to the real meat of learning. It could be done much faster and cheaper if they could just take the core subjects and skip the rest. I have sent two children through college and it's not what its cracked up to be as far as prepairing them for the real world. It will however make your pocket much lighter... from the news-press blog Sir, I agree in part, with most of your blog info.
