The American Education System; Cause For Rebellion
.... Lyndon B. Johnson, also believed that there is no institution more
fundamental to American society and democracy than its public schools.”(36)
Public schools are the cornerstone of America's future. The development
of youth's knowledge, skills and social dispositions has always been critical to
the country's success. In the next century, America's youth will play an
increasingly important role in the country's survival and well-being. By the
year 2025, one out of five Americans will be 65 or older, and by the year 2040,
one out of four Americans will be 65. In less than 15 years, the first baby
boomers will reach the age of 65 .....

The Education System
.... parents to get uniform for
their children each year, second, it was good for students to concentrate only
on there classes and third it was very organized. For instance, in my family
three person went to high school and parents bought us uniforms only once a year
which was not very expensive, second every day when we waked up we didn't had to
worry about what to wear and worrying that we don't have enough clothes.
Therefor, wearing uniform was very good so most of our concentration was on our
classes not on clothing. Finally, wearing uniform was very organize when we
passed the rode everyone know that we were high school student .....

The Importance Of Literacy
.... to give a
child, or read and interpret a sign giving instructions on what to do in case of
a fire. These two examples bring perspective to literacy's importance.
Nevertheless, recent surveys have indicated that, "4.5 million Canadians,
representing 24 percent of the eighteen-and-over group, can be considered
illiterate" ("Adult Illiteracy" 5). Illiteracy is truly a problem within Canada.
Although many groups are working to render the problem of illiteracy, much work
still lies ahead.
As our society moves on into the next century literacy is proving vital
to economic performance. Without basic literary skills in one's possessio .....

people across the country to take a hard look at our education system and to
organize their efforts to chance the education system as we know it.
WHAT'S HAPPENING OUT THERE?
There are two major movements in recent years whose focus is to enhance the
education of future generations. The "Standards" movement focuses on
educational content and raising the standards of traditional teaching and
measurement means and methods. The "Outcome Based Education" (OBE) movement is
exploring new ways of designing education and changing the way we measure the
effectiveness of education by focusing on results or outcomes.

Things Aren't Always What They Seem
.... time hispanics thought I was Anglo-saxon, was when my best
friend's dad got me a job at his company. The first day he showed me around and
majority of the workers were hispanic; once again they all looked at me again.
My first encounter with my racist co-workers was during lunch. As I sat down to
eat my sandwich, the guy I got to know asked me if I wanted to try some Mexican
food. That's when I gave him this expression that must have stunned him,
because he asked me what was wrong. I told him, “What, do you think I've never
eaten Mexican food or what?”
He replied, “Sorry, I didn't think know white people knew anything a .....

College Costs
.... $15,400, compared with about
$5006 at public 4-year colleges. The cost of attending an institution of higher
education includes not only tuition and fees, however, but also books and
supplies, transportation, personal expenses and, sometimes, room and board.
Although tuition and fees generally are substantially lower at public
institutions than at private ones, the other student costs are about the same.
According to MS-Encarta94,"the average cost for tuition, fees, and room and
board for the 1995-96 academic year at private 4-year colleges was about $20,165.
At public 4-year colleges the average combined cost was about $9290" .....

What Is An Education?
.... there is no future anywhere
for him. This is completely untrue. There is no guarantee that getting a high
school "education" is going to get you anywhere. A student may spend eight
years between high school and college getting an "education." He can graduate
from college with A's in every class, but still, this "education" means nothing.
For example, suppose this "Straight A" student goes for a job interview.
Obviously one of the first things to be looked at is the college diploma. Good
grades, which by today's standards are an indication of an educated individual,
are usually very helpful in getting a good job. But alone .....
