There are many books on this subject -- poor quality education. I will mention a few. When addressing the problem, Norman Mailer, author of the book "The Big Empty" states that 52 percent of the American people are uneducated and stupid, and that "the Bush administration holds great faith in the stupidity of the American people" so that they can push their agenda and worldview... |
Addressing the same problem -- poor quality education, James Rosenbaum, author of the book "Beyond College for All: Career Paths for the Forgotten Half" states that America is called the Land of Opportunity because people of all backgrounds are given a chance at advancement through education and hard work, but these opportunities are not available to all students. The "forgotten half", does it have something to do with the 52 percent mentioned in Mailers book (above)? |
From an Environmental Biology student in a class where most students aspire to become elementary teachers: Although, I am not a teacher yet, I have had many experiences with peers who do NOT listen and also disturb others who want to listen. I would like to confide in you that what worries me more is that in this class there "may" be future teachers and that is a concern for me, since, I have a 3 year old who one day might be my peers' student. |
