Education Reform Solution Paper
Reforming education isn't an easy task. Scholars for years have tried to find the best ways to shove knowledge into our minds. Every year we buy fresh pencils and journals just so we can go learn the same information, the only thing that's different this time is that we look at it from a new perspective, and try to learn with a deeper insight on the subject. All subjects are the same, whether its mathematics, reading or sciences, there's always a harder way to find the simplest solutions. Some blame the television for breaking our concentration, some would say that we don't eat the right foods so on and so forth. These so called 'conclusions' are desperate attempts to get a personal opinion well known. Our own government can’t agree on a solution to reform our education system.
Since the first Clinton Presidency, Republicans and Democrats do not have really different educational agendas. Neither of the two major parties has any genuinely new ideas on education. No matter how revolutionary they may sound, the respective plans amount to insufficient improvements of what is already there. The last major legislation [1]No Child Left Behind, or NCLB for short or “nicklebee” ass some people referred to it as, enjoyed wide bipartisan support at the beginning, even though Democrats have voiced stronger opposition to how it was implemented.
President Barak Obama’s plan for education reform boils down to making minor amendments to the No Child Left Behind act, and starting a few new initiatives such as recruiting more teachers and providing more learning for students at risk. Obama also plans to put more federal funds in after school, summer, and outreach programs, and in teacher training. Since his election, however, all his focus seems to be on reforming health care. Many Democrats also believe in school choice, although they tend to limit choice to public and charter schools....
