American high school, an environment that intoxicates the education system. American high schools range from the grade ninth to twelfth grade, and also includes college level classes and standardized tests. These high schools obtain a philosophy that according to Roz Chast and Botstein is, all high schools should have classes that do not incorporate a penny into the real world and focus on the number one on the hierarchy, sports. This vision, of American high schools are degrading the ability for students in high school to succeed in the path that is drawn by the students themselves.
I am currently enrolled at a public high school that is located in a little town, and I have learned quite a few things. Now, in my third year, I have learned things ranging from World War

Ravitch in source five presented that the NCLB provided overwhelming requirements, "...and that none of the prescribed remedies was making a difference." The schools system are declining the rates of success and prosperity to high school students than increasing. These results show that students, like myself, are forced to learn "high school standards" and it is now our responsibility to memorize the teachings for state tests at the end of the school year and on top of that study for regular school class finals. As Mori stated, "Many Americans who criticize their own school system for being "too easy" idealize the Japanese school system," and Americans still wonder why. Students idealize the Japanese school system, because the Japanese prepare their students for their work force. Last year I learned about the water cycle, yes, precipitation and condensation, but tell me how condensation will incorporate my knowledge of becoming a registered nurse? The problem that American high school education system contains is, not teaching the students the knowledge they need to influence their work
High school is one of the most important stages in the development of an individual. It is the first step of social and professional advancement. In high school we learn the necessary skills to succeed academically .The US, like in the rest of the world, treat high schools as an essential part of a students formation. The question is whether American high schools are able to keep up with an unwritten international standard for secondary education. High schools in the united states have three major problems. First, they tend to be places for social gathering rather than learning habitats for students. Another problem regards the low emphasis that is placed on the learning of the sciences and finally standardized testing questions how much meaningful learning takes place in the classroom. In order to optimize the solution of these problems we need to look closer into each of them.
It’s Student parent orientation night at Miami Senior High school, and parents are starring at the projector on the wall that reads “Welcome To Miami High!” Students await eagerly nearby and wonder about their decision on what to do for the next four years; when all of a sudden the front doors blast open, as bullets fly through the air. Two teenage boys have shot up a school once again, Four dead and nine injured. People think about what can cause a person to think, and act, this way. Some state that a small portion of people are just born this way, to cause harm. They will soon learn otherwise.
Schools boards are important to the four pillars of democracy. By letting a student under the age of 16 go to school no matter their gender, religion, or culture, the school board practices: justice, equity, and freedom. Justice is shown when the school board shows that it respects any gender, culture or religion. School boards do not ban anyone that has a “different” gender, religion or culture. Everyone is welcomed and wanted. The school board makes policies to make sure that educational standards are met by teachers and they reflect the community’s values. They also make justice by creating rules that the teachers, students, and administration have to follow. The school board allows policy to be debated and decisions can be appealed. They
The world’s view of the American education system may be skewed, in my opinion. Our colleagues in other lands may have feelings both of superiority and inferiority. Some nations claim a superior system that exceeds any standards that America may hold. Others are practically sneaking people in to the country just to give their young children hope of a “good” education. It is easy to see how confusing it is that America’s education system seems to be one of the greatest in the world, and yet, it is a lower ranking system worldwide.

As we all know, education is the most important thing in life. A person without education is worth nothing! It is the way that build the human to be what he is. Nowadays, American culture is being spread all over the world. As American culture is growing worldwide. It is affecting schooling and students. For example, lately in my home country Kuwait our government is offering students scholarships to the United states, United Kingdom and other countries to get their bachelor and master degree with supporting them financially. Basically they are encouraging the students to get A’s and good grades by giving them the opportunity to move and study abroad which is for some people is like a dream come true. Nevertheless, people prefer to study at
The education in America may seem beneficial as it provides opportunities to American citizens; however, immigrants children who are often English language learners have limited opportunities. America doesn't allow the same rights to immigrants who often seek a high quality education, thus negatively affecting their identity, goals, aspirations, and experiences. America creates a vicious cycle where immigrant children try to fit in America by learning English and sacrificing their native identity to academically strive; however as they reach high school, they realize the minimal rights they have for a higher education and minimize their goals or often cease those goals of going to college. Overall, the American education is negatively affecting

Eastern Republic of Uruguay also known internationally as Uruguay, is the smallest country in the region of South America. Although being small in size, it is widely known for a variety of characteristics such as: its rich culture, European heritage, and its high percentage of of education progression. After researching for hours on this beautiful country, it came to my attention how relatively similar their education system was to ours. Many of us go through school, dreading it, not appreciating the opportunity to gain an education and sadly theres that few that do drop out. This similar issue is also occurring in many developing countries such as Uruguay; despite of being perceived as one of the most stable country in South America. As I

As generations continue to develop in change, our student population has become more and more diverse. As higher education institution(s) populations change, so should the programs that are made available to students. Students of such diversity will need new types of programs to fit their needs as they come in. So for Student affairs practitioner’s we must begin to think ahead as to what our students will need coming in. As well as what they will need during their time at our institutions to help them be, and continue to be successful.
