I believe that the goals of American Education have not changed. These goals are just as important today as they were years ago. The goals are still in affect for students going to school right now. All of the American Education goals are to help students get the and best schooling as possible before sending them off to college. The goals also reinforce students to prepare for the workforce and make sure they are getting the best care while being at school all day.

Everything that has been said about political, economic and social goals in American Education still stand to be true today. Political goals of Education are extremely …show more content…

I believe this goal is the biggest out of all three. The economic goal is to make sure all students are college ready or career ready.

All people should know how this stuff works and what could be consequential from some of the actions they perform. Lastly, something that helps young children gain social skills and social education are through after school programs. I never attended any but in my district their
