reform

Well at least one thing is very clear to me: Blouke Carus was obviously educated in one of the American elementary schools he bashes. He surely couldnt have been proficient in English composition. It might just have been me but a three page overview of his life accomplishments at the beginning of his argument really just made me discredit him and the rest of his whole essay. It was kind of strange how he said American education sucks so bad but then said that 50 percent of graduate students are from overseas. Some things he says are interesting though. Many teachers are not qualified to teach the material they are teaching. It doesnt matter how much money you give to a group, money is not going to fix an underqualified teacher. I agree that most people that would be the best teachers are out doing work in other professions. I really dont agree that education reform is really as impossible as he makes it to be. It would be hard, but it is still possible. It just requires the people working from the bottom up and the people working from the top down to meet somewhere in the middle successfully.
