Contemporary Issues- Education Unit. Start here!

Welcome to the education unit of our Contemporary Issues class! 

Mr. Taormina and I are excited to use the technology that Stratford has available to offer this unit to you online.  Education is one issue that is all over the current news (both local and national), but it also affects each one of us directly- every single day.  Here's your first assignment- leave a comment with your thoughts about education.  Some questions you might think about:  Why is it important?  What do you think about the current educational system? 

Be sure to leave your name on the comment- this will be your first daily grade for this unit.

  1. I'll start-

    I think that education is one of the most important things that anyone can have. That's why I have worked so hard to finish my masters degree (I'm graduating Saturday!) The more I learn about educational systems, though, the more concerned I am becoming. I wonder why our students' reading levels are so low (and it's not just here- it's all over America). I also wonder why U.S. students used score #1 worldwide, but now we have been falling behind to years to countries like Finland, China, Japan, and South Korea. I hope to find some answers!
