  2. What’s Wrong the System? • Schools were created to teach our children and prepare for their life in the “real world” • However, the United States’ education is no longer the world leader • According to an 2008 study, the United States was ranked 18th out of 36 industrialized countries • "It's not that we're doing horrible. But the other guys are moving faster,” says Richard Freeman, an economics professor at Harvard.

  3. The “School” System • How can the so called “Land of Opportunity” have such a poor education? • School system is not uniform throughout the nation • Each state sets their own curriculum and places students at a disadvantage over others • Teachers only teach for the Test • High school students are subjected to numerous test, not only each class but there are also state and national tests • Students have the habit of “test and forget” • Most students will only memorize what they need to know for a test then will forget whatever they learned • No real chance for students to gain outside experience to seek potential career fields • It isn’t mandatory for students to seek internships and volunteer experience before they go to college

  4. New Way of Schooling • First get rid of all testing and grades • To much pressure to be “perfect” and competition to be the best • Have more teaching and activities outside the classroom and building • Can put what they learned to situations in the real world • Allow students interact with others outside their age group • The chance to learn from others • Implement mandatory foreign language, art, physical education classes • Let the students have the chance to express themselves
