American Education System Prompt

Education is something that hopefully every individual is given the opportunity to experience in full and at an equal level. However, it may be an area with one of the highest inequality rates in the world, and a serious issue in America. The American education system is lacking in a well-rounded curriculum, extra-curricular programs, and an equal-opportunity education.

The American Education system runs through four levels of schooling, Primary or Elementary school, Secondary School or Middle School, High School, and College or University. Most education's curriculum includes four basic subjects: English, Science, History, and Math, with specific subjects falling into those categories.

In Primary School, students between the ages of five and eleven learn basic subject skills such as grammar and spelling, American history, earth science and basic science skills, and simple algebra. In this level of education, there are usually many teaching methods applied, especially hands on learning and field trips. However, through the years these various methods can decrease until eventually, the only method used is lecturing. For many students, this is ineffective and many students fall behind or become uninterested in education. In public schools and private schools alike, classrooms and material can be biased and many topics are left out and students remain uninformed. Although public schools tend to be more liberally weighted, and private schools more conservative, it is not always the case. By not educating students on all opinions, all religions, and all topics in the modern world, we can be raising a generation on how to hold a blind faith in a system, religion, or way of thought, and stirring up hate from person to person. Classes such as government, history, or world cultures are extremely vulnerable to this issue, often only presenting one side of the issue as the correct, or morally good side.
