I quickly realized that this individual was interested in translation of an existing piece, not necessarily cultural marketing strategies for their target audience. Read more

How can you do it at school I replied? Well dad the teacher always gives us time to finish homework at class and besides after the school ends I have a few minutes prior to my football practice.

I asked him prior to the start of the school year the list of classes and 60% of them were electives or not compulsory (not essential), and I remembered that his counselor told me that as long he has enough credits he can do it.

The “no child left behind act” is a mistake and the effectiveness and desirability of NCLB’s measures are hotly debated. A primary criticism asserts that NCLB could reduce effective instruction and student learning because it may cause states to lower achievement goals and motivate teachers to “teach to the test.”

I started thinking that back in my days in my school in South America we did not have the glory of having home economics, pottery, art and other elective classes that are good for the spirit but at the end they are not good for your career.

I had 11 (one year less) years full of mathematic, physics, algebra, history, chemistry, calculus, biology and others that by the time I finish High School I was ready for the University and no need for College in order to catch up with the prerequisites. If you want a technical career you go to College but to study the necessary for your future occupation.

I am not saying mine was better than the current system but something is not working right and I have to admit that the labs are great and some school have state of the art technology but they don’t improve the education for some reason.

I believe the current Education system in this country is a business; you should be able at the end of your high school to go straight to the University and be an architect, lawyer or whatever is your desire. Perhaps proof of that is the statistic from the department of education that 85% got a high school diploma but only 27% a post secondary diploma.
