Question of the Day: Using some of the resources below, respond to the following prompt:In a perfect world, what and how would you change the educational system in our country? You may want to research some of these questins to help you in your response. What is the purpose of your education? Do schools need more money per pupil? Should standardized testing be the only way to measure a school? a district? or a student? Should No Child Left Behind be renewed by the federal government?

First of all we don't live in a perfect world and will this world ever become near perfect? Overlooking on what we are going through today; I say we are far from perfect. We can achieve more if we do the right things, and it takes time and patience. One of the things we can look at is our education system. Education is definitely important if you want to succeed in this society, and we have to look out for the future generation. It will just get tougher and tougher, and it may not be on top of everyone's priority list but it should be because it is something we are fortunate to have and no one should take it away from us. Things need to take action if we want to progress in our country because education is something that can change the future by a long shot.

So, in my opinion I say the government should be focusing more on the children's education and becoming stricter. Do something to get the children involved because the more they are involved the less trouble there will be. Children with a good education will most likely progress better, and they will have a better future. They have the opportunity and need to take advantage of it because it will help them achieve what they need in order to succeed in their careers. The teachers and schooling helps them develop their talents and intellect. Don't give up, even if you failed once or twice. The ones who became the most successful have had the most failures. Just learn for your mistakes, and set goals for yourself. Some may think standardized testing is the only way to measure a school or district, but i think there are different ways also. Children have different ways of learn for instants some may learn by playing games related to what they are learning or some may do better by studying out of a book. The teachers should find ways to help the children succeed, but then again they can't make things easy for them.
