American Education Pros And Cons

In the United States, the K-12 education system serves as a pathway to abundant intelligence for students. Students are provided with the right tools to learn and flourish. Despite the benefits that it provides, there is a problem with the education system being insufficiently democratic. Several characteristics in the system depict a weak democracy, which disrupt the functioning of the government. Although, there are signs in the education system of being insufficiently democratic, there are actions that can be taken to help change it to becoming democratic and therefore, create a well-functioning government. The problem with the K-12 education system is a combination of the school body and the politicians involved. The school body consist
One of the advantages is the amount of direct participation from students, parents, administration and faculty. The consequences serve as incentives to actually participate in the program. There should be a high voter outcome. Another advantage would be a creation and growth of faithful voters within the country of citizens. If these individuals were to actually express their thoughts and perspectives about education bills in regards to funding and school curriculum, they would serve as faithful voters.

There are also parents of students that are not citizens either. It wouldn’t be fair at all because there would be some students and parents left out due to the qualifications. In different parts of the country, there would be a big outcome of
The system fails to allow an equal representation within the schools across the nation. The voices of the students, parents, administration and faculty are not heard. The voices of the politicians, who obviously have more power than average citizens, are the ones that are heard. Even though these politicians are elected democratically, they are not always faithful voters. This causes disruption in the functioning of the government. The government needs to sustain a balance. If we would try to enact a reform to try to fix some of these aspects that it currently has, there are issues that would arise. Some of the issues would contradict what actually is democratic in the United States and would question the constitution. I think that just by enacting the reform and slowly trying to fix some flaws that it does have, there could definitely be some progress seem in the future. There would be progress seen from the current K-12 education system, which is insufficiently democratic. Some change is better than no change when it comes to the education system in the United States and the government
