Abstract

I wrote about this topic because education interests me and it’s a huge part of my life and the life of most people in the United States. Many people take their education for granted and I wanted to write about Education Policy because it shows the changes that have been made to the education system to try to better it, and how they actually turned out. I wanted to explain to my readers that education is important and that there are many different things that factor into making it effective or beneficial to one’s life. There are many problems with the education system in today’s world but the main problem would have to be the ineffectiveness of teachers. This problem is important because an ineffective or bad teacher can ruin your education. They can be the cause of why you’re not succeeding, and let’s face it, everyone has had at least one bad teacher throughout their school years.The problem hasn’t been completely resolved, and probably never will be, but there are many steps in order to minimize the problem and improve the education system. Getting rid of teacher unions is one step, and substituting standardized testing with an assessment of teachers and students in their “natural state” in school is another option. By setting these plans into action, it will allow fairness whiles improving the way teachers teach and engage their students. If teachers took their job more seriously and dedicated their time to engaging and helping the students, the educational achievements would increase drastically. Also, the government could introduce a new education policy which touches up on some things to help the teachers and students.
