The Education system in America has become more and more lax in recent times. Expectations of students continue to decrease and the difficulty of the courses in schools is such that it would not stimulate learning. Schools become too dependent on Standerdized testing and do not encourage logical, reasonable and critical thought.
Is the Education System in America too lax?

I hate that learning is an institution at all. Nobody's going to learn rational, individual thought in a setting like that. I'm homeschooling myself as soon as I get the chance.And your very flesh shall be a great poem.

Why should it not be possible? To hear the opinions of you peers, to root out prejudice and blind ignorance before it starts, is that not beneficial to everyone? The problem is how it is done at the moment. The system is too easy, people are not motivated, not taught well, they are not challenged to grow.
And how can they be when they're just another head in a classroom? I think it's dehumanizing to be taught like cattle, even more so when your education is directed nearly completely by your parents and teachers and not by yourself. Learning should not and cannot be something shoved down your throat; you should go out and achieve it yourself.

I need to put my 50 cents in here.
The main problem with public education stems from the local side. The national goverment funds education very richly, and laws such as the "No Child Left Behind Act" are there to help improve things. However, an increasingly large amount of local boards of Education are exhibiting nothing short of incompetency in the way they spend money. For example, fat paychecks. Only when that is fixed can one continue to the next problem: morale. Thanks to celebrities, the picture has been painted that school is a waste of time. Something needs to be done about that.It is a sad day when an innocent nation's flag is decried as hate speech.
If I say it, I believe it. Most of the time, anyway.

I would have assumed that with all schools being so dependent on standardized testing, expectations of students would increase. -
Expectaions of students have gone through the roof over the years. Standerds are becoming increasingly high. This is nothing but a good thing.It is a sad day when an innocent nation's flag is decried as hate speech.

I agree with you completely there, but not the second half. I go to school in hopes of learning something, but do I often accomplish this? NO. They're teaching us the bare minimum, enough to pass standardized test. Do they teach to learn outside of that? NO.i don't sleep -
Alot of schools are forced to rely so heavily on Standardized testing because the government forces them too, If the government doesn't think your teaching your kids the right way, then your out and they will just hire someone else,
If you want a special type of Education, Your best bet is private school, and most of the time thats too expensive for people like me, so I'm forced to just get a new book at the library and read up. -
the problem is schools now only "teach to the test", while cutting areas like the arts, etc. And then we wonder why our public schools are churning out dumbasses

Education systems are too lax everywhere.
It's easier to convince people who don't know anything than people who really knows.

I think its more students in America are too lax. Most high schools have a curriculum that will allow students to really challenge themselves .. but only if they want to. Schools could make it where every child in the school was required to take an extremely challenging schedule, but if the students don't want to succeed, they aren't going to.[CENTER][SIZE=1]------------------------------------------[/SIZE][/CENTER]
