QUALITY OF OUR EDUCATION

I feel we as a country we can't really complain about the quality of our education. We
have it real good. People from many other countries often travel here to get higher
education. But there are some things that could be changed. We need to use our
advancements in technology to our advantage. Also, more specialized teachers would
improve the quality of learning. And in high school the thing I felt was the biggest
problem was class size it was too hard to listen to a teacher and focus on the material
with a class of over twenty-five.
Technology is what makes the world go. We need to use this to our advantage to make our
education better. There are many ways to make this possible. We could use the Internet to
broadcast interactive classes. This way you have the best possible teachers to teach
everyone all over the country and even the world. In doing this the level of education
will rise, because the teachers will be the best in their field. Right now technology is
already making it easier to learn. We have so many resources over the computer and
Internet. This is just going to continue to grow as far as our advancements in technology
grow.
Right now in many schools there are teachers that have gone to school and learned how to
teach. Many of the teachers may not be the best in their field. For example in music
someone who has studied music all their life would most likely make a better teacher then
someone who went to school to be a music teacher. But in many cases will not get a job as
a teacher because they do not have that teaching background. The same goes for art
classes. If we had the best artists and musicians teaching our classes the children would
learn more. 
The biggest issue in schools today I feel is class size. Schools are getting over crowed
and the classes are getting to big. It is making it harder to learn and each student gets
less personal attention from the teacher. When a teacher has one on one interaction with
the student the student will probably learn more and retain more of the information. With
smaller class sizes the teacher can monitor all the students easier. Then if one student
is having a problem with a specific topic the teacher can stop and focus on that issue
with the student. In turn bettering education as a whole. In many high schools the
average class size is about twenty-five. This is either because there are not enough
teachers or not enough classrooms. This is a big issue because it is harder to learn in a
large class than it is in a smaller class with about fifteen students in it.
