Be the Change

As I come to a conclusion it is important to remember there is always room for improvement. America's schools have come a long way but still have a long way to go. In an interview I had with my teacher Mr. Field, he eloquently stated "Education should be in a continual state of transformation, so we are reflecting and continue grow on the foundation that has been laid before.  The system in the past fit the needs of the past, we now have to continually reflect and act on how to do meet the needs of the present and future." 
America's education system right now is all about memorization and good grades, but the goal of the system according to Mr. Field should be "to provide young people with the skill set and knowledge to be successful in society in present day and future.  However, the definition of success is a matter of opinion." Throughout all transformations America goes through our education system should always be changing to uphold this goal. Lastly, Mr Field offers a possible way of fixing our education system. He suggest we educate, he further explains, "we expect students to learn, so administrators and teachers need to continue to learn and grow in order to put themselves in the best position to do their jobs…educate young people." The bill Strengthening America's Schools is a step into this change we need. It will call for an education system fitted to our present needs.

As I have stated in past blogs this bill is an important step in creating a brighter, stronger future for America. Now it is your turn to take part and be a change. Call, email, or write a letter to your senator or representative to make them aware you support this bill and ask for their support also!
