It's a bird!...No it's pane!...No! It's Superman!

As a child when ever I was having a hard time with anything I would imagine Superman coming to my rescue. Honestly everyone wishes that they can be rescued but few actually get the chance. These children really want to make a difference in the world. They want to be teachers and nurses, but how can they when they aren't getting a good education. How are we supposed to tell our kid that it is so important to have an education because it will make you who you are in the future when we don't even give them a fighting chance. I have a student at my work who is a fourth grader but he has no idea how to really read and write. I have talked to his parents and they say that his teachers keep letting him go to the next grade when he still has not learned the basics. The so called "school" he went to had so many students that it was hard for the teacher to pay any attention to an individual child. If so many kids are failing why are we not changing the way we teach? why are we not expanding and funding the education system more? When you have money you can afford private school that teach your children well but not everyone is wealthy. Most people can not afford to send their kids to private school. All they can do is sit back, worry, and wait for their number to be called. Wake up America! It is never to late to make a change...but sometimes it is just the way it is

Academias a B...

I think the worst thing about academia is that it is so under funded. All these people say you need to be and school and that no child should be left behind, but they don't tell you that they barely put any money into it. Prisons and the military get so much money while education gets a tiny part. We teach our kids to go to school so they can succeed, but we honestly don't put that much money into it. Some schools have to drop their art and music classes because they are underfunded. Some kids enjoy and stay in school only because those classes give them a way to let out their emotions.

Another thing is that classes only teach things one way. We assume the teacher is always correct and don't even question it. A teacher can say that 2+2= zebra and we would just write that down in our notes so we can remember it on the test then later for get it all. Some teachers are so concerned with their students to know certain knowledge, but they do not actually tell you why this particular knowledge is so important to a subject. And then they wonder why so many kids sleep in class.
