Mrs. June's AP Language and Composition class has been studying language and education over the past couple of days. Today, students took turns filling in a blank chart of the United States. After the first few easy states were recorded, students struggled to correctly place the remaining states.
While discussing an area where the educational system has failed, some students agreed that a general knowledge of US geography was lacking. Senior Allison C. explains, "I never learned my states because we were never forced to in school."
This topic brought up questions as to what else our educational system is failing to provide for students. Is it lack of passion of teacher, lack of interaction in classes, or lack of scheduling organization? Most everybody has issues with the current educational system, it is our responsibility to identify and fix these problems.
