I think everyone can agree that having a free, equal, and exceptional education for all students would be ideal. This has been the goal for centuries. Throughout the history of America, there have been people who believe that this is achievable and others who admit to thinking that this will never happen. Articles in the 1830s Philadelphia Gazette proved to be against the common school. I chose this article to challenge myself and my thinking about the common school. Being a future teacher, I believe that everyone should be able to receive a quality education, and I wanted to better my understanding of the opposite viewpoint in history. The main point of this article was that poor and rich children could never be on the same educational level because there is too much of a difference in their cultures to bridge the gap of education.

For as long as I can remember learning how to read and write was a real challenge for me. When I first arrived in the United States I was enrolled at the nearby elementary school. Being from another country I was scared and embarrassed because I was different then the other children in my class. Talking and communicating with others was something that wasn't in the interest of what I wanted to do. I sat far away from others depriving myself of what they were doing or learning. Coming from Mexico and going to a school where no other children would speak the same language that I would or even play the way I did made me believe that I was some sort of thing that didn't belong. All these contributed to a low esteemed child that was

They can face more narrow learning experiences due to less resources and less positive educational environments. They teachers can have low expectations for the students thus effecting how much is expected of them to achieve and allowing them to fall behind. Home languages can also be frowned upon and see bilingualism or any other language other than English as a negative and not a positive trait to the student. (Adair 2015, pg.6-8)

There are around 7,000 languages found in the 192 countries in the world (Grosjean 2010). The humans’ different way to communicate with each other according to the environment setting is called a language. The U.S is a diverse country and people who live in the U.S speaks many different languages. “Even with its large immigrant population and a long history of immigration, the general public in the united states does not support the use of multiple languages” (Freeman and Freeman 142).

There have been many critics of education. Authors like John Taylor Gatto, John Holt, Marie Battiste, Ivan Illich, and Paulo Freire have outright called for an end to compulsory schooling and have had an impact on many people’s thoughts and feelings about our current education system. Those authors feel that our current system has led to cultural oppression and is not conducive to future citizens to lead good lives but instead makes them sheep-like and thus only easier to control. Other authors and advocates like Ken Robinson call for a complete reform of education that will reflect 21st century values and skills and point out that the way we do school does not lead to the creativity we say we want in our citizens after they graduate high school. These criticisms are uncomfortable for educators to hear because it sounds like devaluing what we work so hard to produce but it’s important, as we move deeper into the 21st century to critically examine what we do in schools if we truly want to serve both individual students and society as a whole.

Or is it that public schools need longer school days and fewer vacation days? I believe that it’s a combination of all the schools, students, teachers, and the education system. In addition to those circumstances a child’s household, race, financial status and much more that can play a role in this situation.
