Our Education

Is America’s education system falling behind to countries like India? As America is slowly regressing, it must reconsider the lifestyle of its youth because in the near future they could be left unemployed. Countries such as India are gaining up on America because of their value placed on education and work ethic, replacing Americans in a lot of professions; to stop this from happening we must re-evaluate the culture of our youth

Education is Americas past, present, future. Education in America is boiling away like water in a heated pan. Education is the basis of our society as we need it to strive in this world; it’s like a gun in a duel. But our youth doesn’t notice it as they are heading the wrong direction; they’re Quakers going to Wrestle Mania. Education is evaporating in America as “12th-graders recently tested below the international average for 21 countries in mathematics and science” (Vergano, 3). If amends aren’t made to global education the world will begin a slow, spiraling, descent toward an inevitable oblivion To extend on Mathematics “About one-third of the fourth-graders and one-fifth of the eighth-graders cannot perform "basic mathematical computations" (Vergano, 2) One of the reasons our youth is unable succeed like its competition is because of the schooling of their teachers. As some of us might know “there are serious problem with the education of our teachers.”(Long, 46) In 45 states “640,000 children who wanted to take science and math courses could not do so for lack of teachers.”(Long, 151)

Education in Asia is growing rapidly as it replaces jobs of Americans. Education in Asia is on the verge of exploding to its peak, like a basketball player that sees an open lane to the basket, seizes the opportunity and levitates just prior to slamming it down. Education is the road to triumph. In countries like India “the young are packed off to coaching classes to prepare them for entry into the competitive colleges” (Das, 1). The Indian governments “spending on education rose from 1.2 percent of per capita expenditure in 1983 to 4.4 percent in 2003” (Das, 1).

Unemployment creeps up and devours Americans, opening job opportunities for foreigners. Jobs in America are “projected to decline from 82% to 63%” (Issue Paper, 1) for whites. At the same time “the minority portion of the workforce is projected to double (from 18% to 37%)” (Issue Paper, 1) If you don’t think that’s bad “The Hispanic/Latino portion is projected to almost triple (from 6% to 17%)” (Issue Paper, 1)

We as a whole must develop a lifestyle within our youth that will
