Education Battle in Media

Lanecia Peeler

I believe that education reform is such a hot button issue and receiving the great deal of media attention because education is important and also their many issues pertaining to education. From my point of view I think the education system is broke mainly because of teacher effectiveness/tenure. Many teachers really just do not care about their student’s education and just want to hurry up and retire. If they took away all the teachers who do not care about children education then their wouldn’t be many teachers in the school system. Most of the responsibility does go to the student because if the student is not in class then they will never learn. In the video they stated the quality of education was greater than it is now and I believe that only because the generations are different and kids are not pushed as much as the kids in the 50s where.
