AZ Educational system The Arizona education system has been determined as ‘poor’. Many Arizonaans report saying that some districts around AZ have been a very bad educational place. People report saying that schools have put their funds unfairly to the students. Districts in cities all around Arizona have been seen as unfair and bad education to citizens. Cons
When I was younger I was enrolled into Bilingual classes since preschool which cost me dearly. While taking these classes I had trouble learning English and Spanish words at the same time. I struggled through elementary school because I was not used to focusing primarily on English which affected my grades. While it is true that colleges look for students who know more than one language, the problem with that requirement is that students who focus on two languages at once are more likely to fail their classes because they do not have their full attention directed towards the English language and they don’t pay attention to that factor. Colleges do not see the risk of being a bilingual student.
Ansari 1 Roshanak Ansari Professor Covington English 1101 November 23, 2017 Final Research Paper Over the past decade, the United States has become more diverse in different nationalities and cultures. If American high schools were to offer more options in foreign languages for the students to choose from, there would be an increase in their IQ’s and they would have better career opportunities. Some of the benefits of being bilingual or knowing another foreign language besides your mother tongue are better health, new and improved job opportunities and it can also improve your competitiveness in the job market.
There are emerging resources available for Computer Science and Computer Literacy curriculum. Many industry partners are working to supply curriculum to meet the growing needs of the #CSforall initiatives. In addition, districts are moving to 1-to-1 devices or BYOD, the need for curriculum that runs on specific platforms using specific devices will begin to expand to multiple platforms with multiple devices to meet market demand. As districts adopt curriculum they become a resource for others, providing a connection regarding the pros and cons of individual programs, and also the problems and successes.
The debate between supporters of Pro-Bilingual Education and Pro-English Education is a battle that will stand the test of time. In recent years, it has become a politicized dispute and is no longer just a language issue. It has become an issue of culture. English will continue to be the dominant language of the United States, but the population of LEP students will continue to grow.
As you are aware, a number of specific master’s programs no longer exist in our state’s universities. Those master’s programs were removed due to budget cuts and because those same programs are offered at our neighbor’s state universities. However, the master’s programs our state universities continue to offer are no longer available at our neighbor’s state universities also due to budget cuts. A fellow analyst in the state's higher education department by the name of James Raika has advocated that an agreement be entered with our neighboring state to allow reciprocity on in-state tuition for those programs offered only in either state for those students from both states who wish to attend the other state’s universities for the
Common Core is a widely debated topic here in America. However I feel like it shouldn't be because it violates one of our Bill of Rights, the 10th Amendment to be exact “the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the states Respectively, or to the people.” (10th Amendment in the Constitution) Therefore, it’s the individual rights of the states to decide if they want to use Common Core. But, I do feel like it's useless.
American school vs. other countries According to an international ranking of OECD countries, it has proven to be that the American education systems are average compared to the rest of the world. Through researching Finland and Japan’s education system, similarities and differences have been established. Finland’s public education system is considered by far one of the best in Europe. This has to do, partially, with the policies on the development of teacher education that are left to educators and researchers in the academic fields of pedagogy and education.

As I was reading in the textbook for my EDCI 201 class, I was given the opportunity to learn more about American education. While I often find myself having little interest in hearing about the education system in America, I learned more from this section than I thought I would. Oddly enough, the media seems to only speak about the negatives of our education system, such as increased class sizes, teacher pay, and the dropout rate. Reflecting back on what I read, the section spoke of students staying in school longer, test scores rising, and more students tend to be learning faster. However, these positive examples do not mean that our education system is right where it needs to be.
Literacy in America is like a bowl of different size buttons, if you pick one at random you never know what you will pick up. America is suppose to be a free form country that allows an individual or a community to broadcast their own language without judgment, this is not always the case. Amy Tran author of “mother tongue” suggests that English speaking individuals see foreigners language as “broken” just because they don 't speak fluently. Richard Rodriguez author of “Aria: a Memoir of a Bilingual Childhood” suggest that being restricted from his native language discouraged him from entertaining the idea that he also could become fluent in “English”. Both of these “essays” are stressing the fact that foreign literacy is judged by fluency.
America has come a long way in its education system. It is easier now, more than ever, for people of any race or gender to get an education. However, it is arguable that the educational system does not do its job to prepare students to become successful young adults. There are many flaws in the order of education, which causes students to worry more about satisfying others with test scores and academics rather than actually preparing them for the real world. While the educational system does prepare students for the academic stress of college, it does not qualify students to become young, successful adults and survive in the real world.
Pedro Cassoma – Journal 17 It is not that easy to be a successful college student here in the US. It is very hard not only for resident students, but also, and mainly, for international students. In my case, as international student for instance, the the biggest obstacles that stand in my way to college success is the reason that English is not my first language, and my shyness. I have been learning English for almost one year and a half and my English proficiency is getting better.
I’ve never heard about Common Core in relation to reading. With every interaction or Facebook post I’ve seen; it’s always been about one thing: how bad Common Core is at mathematics. I’ve never seen a teacher (past or present) complain about reading. I think this might be due to the fact I’ve never really researched Common Core. The state standards have never really been at the top of my list; I thought I could go on until the last possible moment.
Many years ago the United States had one of the best educational systems in the world. As the years precede the children’s academic achievements in the United States start to decline and are performing inadequately compared to other children in industrialized countries. The industrialized countries that are now in the top categories of academic skills are Eastern Asia, some European and Western countries. The question is what are American children doing that is making them fall behind in their academic achievement?
