The Importance Of Education In America

The United States of America is a nation of many immigrant people. People come from all over the world, leaving their homeland and sometimes leaving their loved ones to escape deep poverty and violence. When immigrants come to America, in their dreamland they face many problems such as language, education, employment, legal problems, housing, food, and health issues. Immigrants do all kinds of low-paying jobs. They clean houses for a living. Some immigrants come with very small businesses. Many immigrants contribute their skills, knowledge, and education to improve the U.S. economy.

Education in America is one of the most important issues that face our nation. If the education in America is not thought of one of most serious issues we face, our nation as a whole will fall. There are many debates and they seemly extend to all walks of life. The debates range from the decline in education, school vouchers, and the no child left behind law. As a nation, the United States is ranked above others. We must search for that solution to all of the pro’s and con’s in education. The solution should allow all walks of life to excel in the education realm. After all, the children of today will be the leaders of tomorrow.

Advanced technology and forms of communication have changed the way we look at our nation. The current political climate and the cultural movement that is happening in our nation is going to go down in history as a revolution. A revolution where news headlines are instantaneously on our phone screens, and thanks to our advanced technology, a whole world of information is a few clicks away. However, despite these advancements in technology, the cultural change in America is often slowed down because there is a general lack of education. In America, education is the one, if not the biggest barriers that economically and institutionally suppress an overwhelming amount of the nation’s adults. Majority of adults in America do not have basic reading and writing skills yet education is still not a priority in America. There is a crucial need for education in America, now more than ever. In my opinion, the only reason for the current political climate in America is the lack of education that brings basic awareness. The solution to what we are witnessing as a nation is an education that makes individuals aware of the reality of our circumstances and allows them to see a perspective from multiple points of views. In this paper, I will present my argument on why education should be made a priority in America.

In an intelligence-based economy, education is important to national prosperity and individual success. Huge achievement gaps and opportunities must shrink to non-existence, and every student must receive a well education that prepares them for college and careers in the world as it is today. Comparing the United States education system to other countries shows that the United States scored lower than nineteen other counties and education systems in reading in the 2012 Program for International Student Assessment. Germany and Poland in particular are two countries that have now surpassed the United States. During the same study, scores showed that twenty-nine nations outperformed the United States by a large amount in mathematics, and in science, there have been twenty-two education systems that scored higher than the United States (Heitin).

Thousands of illegal immigrants smuggle themselves across the United States border each day. The Immigration and Naturalization Service, or the INS, concluded that the United States is currently a place to call home for a population of approximately twelve million illegal immigrants (Hayes 16). An American who has never been to Mexico, for example, may wonder why these people risk their lives to live in the United States. With the jobs, education, welfare, and unemployment compensation the American government has to offer, the United States appears as a lifeboat for these poor and uneducated immigrants (Hayes 16). The American dream is what all citizens of the United States strive to achieve. Everyone wants to get an education, a

Immigration in the United States continues to increase rapidly year by year. According to an analysis of monthly Census Bureau data by the Center for Immigration Studies, the immigration population in the United States, both legal and illegal, hit a record of 42.1 million in the second quarter of this year, an increase of 1.7 million since the same quarter of 2014 (CIS.org). Clearly, Immigrants make up a large part of the population in the United States, and for most immigrants, migrating to the United States contains one main purpose: to pursue a better life with more opportunities, a purpose also known as “the American Dream”. The concept of immigration is embodied with different viewpoints that can be based on facts or subjective reasoning, but overall, the viewpoints on immigration are narrowed down to two general perspectives. For some Americans, Immigration, especially illegal immigration, impacts the United States in a negative way. People with this perspective argue that immigration has a negative impact on the country’s security, economy, education, and public health. On the other hand, supporters of the presence of immigrants in the country suggest that immigrants contribute to the well-being and development of the country. Supporters of immigration argue that immigrants help boost the economy of the United States rather than hurting it, and believe that the moral thing to do is to give people the opportunity to better themselves in a country filled with the

Every year, millions of people immigrates to America. In 2014, 1.3 million foreign-born individuals moved to the United States, with an 11 percent increase from 1.2 million in 2013(www.migrationpolicy.org). According to the statistics, America has the highest number of immigrants flowing in the country. Main reason why people migrate from their homeland is their quest to promote their lifestyle among the best. Immigrants settle in America, hoping to become one of them, to gain the opportunity to regain their prestige , to attain rights of freedom to choose their desirable profession, and to have the chance to work with others, proving that America treats everyone equally.

Immigrants come to america all the time with the idea of a better life and a new start.The American dream is something everyone wants but not something everyone can achieve.

America: the land of freedom and innovation. For upwards of two hundred years, America has impressed the world with the courage of her people, her ideas, her ingenuity, and her tenacity. Her very name is synonymous with the dream of freedom and the idea that one can make something of oneself regardless of beginning social status if only one works hard. America gives her working citizens, overall, an amazing quality of life compared to most of the world. However, she has her problems: political unrest, social justice issues, issues defining the Constitution, school shootings, police brutality, and many more concerning issues. Some purport that many of America's problems could be solved with education. However, that in and of itself is a problem. America's educational system is corrupt and not her own. It is an age

The American Dream: Immigration in the United States Starting in the 1600s, people began fleeing their home countries and entering the United States in search of freedom and stability for their families. Fast forward to modern times, immigration is becoming more popular for immigrants who are in search of “The American Dream.” Unfortunately, this “American Dream” is not exactly what the immigrants had in mind. Immigrants entering the United States are not being treated as equals in the eyes of Americans; this goes against James Truslow Adams’ definition of “The American Dream.”

Introduction: The United States of America, is built on immigration much of the progress of the country is because of it. Immigration is rapidly growing, as of 2014, 13% of the United States population are immigrants (The National Academic Press). Today, there’s so much opposition to immigration for reasons that aren’t concrete. Some Americans believe, immigrants are here to cause problems and steal their jobs. They believe that there aren’t enough jobs for everyone, and they are here to live off the government. However, many people choose to immigrate to the United States to achieve “The American Dream” as the United States is full of opportunities and resources to help them achieve their

The topic of immigration is something that is known, at this day and age, by many people. And while it has existed for a long time, in the most recent years, there have been issues and clashes of ideals between people of the United States and people who immigrate from various places in the United States. Many Immigrants move to the United States in order to achieve the American Dream. The idea of the American Dream can be interpreted differently by different people. In general however, the main idea of the American Dream is to have a stable life with a good job. This however often clashes with the reality that not many people are able to get this sort of dream that was once thought to be easily accessible.The American Dream has shown to be harder to achieve now than it was before. The ideas and topics of immigration and the American Dream matters to the common person because immigration’s impact on naturalization, deportations, and the economy are important to acknowledge.

George Washington once said “I had always hoped that this land might become a safe and agreeable asylum to the virtuous and persecuted part of mankind, to whatever nation they might belong.” Immigrants have strengthened and shaped American values and, from the start,  formulated a desire for  “American Dream”. Immigrants come to America each with their own  individual idea of the American dream,  what it means or what it can bring them, often,  it rests on the aspiration of economic opportunity and freedom from persecution.

Many of the practices of high-performing systems are implemented in some U.S. districts and states but not systematically or at scale. The reason is due to lack of combined effort. Every political figure does not view education as a must for all. Some make it their life’s work to try to provide educational opportunities to every child. Martin Luther King, Jr. (1968) said, “I’m going to work and do everything that I can do to see that you get a good education.” The motivation to make changes needs the actions of political members seeking to listen to teachers and work at a plan that will prove beneficial to student across the United States. It should not be where one state senate push for change for their state with little to no regard toward the greater good of America.

When children grow up with an education, the outcome is better for them and their country. A child who receives an education can go on to do bigger and better things. Therefore, the child can give back to their country in which they received the education. What plays into effect is the quality of the education and if the child has the requirements to get one. Not every child has the luxury of receiving an education. With the help of the United States government and the donations from organization groups, every child in the developing world can receive a quality education from trained teachers. There are organizations from all over the world working with the American government to remove all children worldwide from hazardous workplaces and help them receive an education in eminent schools with trained teachers. The American people also aid in ways such as donating money to organizations to pursue the goal of ending bad forms of child labor worldwide.
