U.S. Education System Is Failing

I thought 10 Reasons the U.S. Education System Is Failing, was an interesting read. It breaks down the Education crisis in the U.S. into 10 points. Each point this article gave had a valid breakdown about the issues that cause concern in our society.

Some of the issues the author highlights have been issues for a long time, such as issues of race, gender and funding. There are also questions about how schools can address new challenges like incorporating new technologies. I am part of the technology generation, have been an intern at various schools and systems the last few years, and attended both public and catholic school. With all that experience I find that the points made are totally accurate with what is happening in our country.  I feel we should all pay attention to how we can impact these issues when we are working with families and youth.
