Tunnel InVision

No longer are we competing with the people of our backyard. We are now setting our sights on a new horizon, the whole world. It is obvious to say that there is now a global market. I feel that something more important then health care, more important then global warming, is our education.

When I was talking to a teacher about my thoughts on the subject, he started to get into global education. How other parts of the world not everyone has the privilege to attend school and get an education. So why do kids feel they are being forced to sit in school? I wonder why kids that do not want to be at school should be required to stay here. I just imagine how all these funds being essentially wasted on these individuals could be rewired into helping further the education of someone like myself. I just think that if people do not wish to be at school to learn, they shouldn't come.

The most vital part to our education is our the teachers. I feel being a teacher should be one of the most prestigious jobs imaginable. One time someone asked why doctors get paid so much, and I heard someone respond that 'It is such a high paying job because it is such an important profession that is vital to our lives, and in order to keep up with the changing times, and to only have the most skilled workers in the area." I feel the same principles should apply to being a teacher. I have had unskilled teachers, but also I have had fantastic teachers. Keeping a better eye on all the teachers to sort out the good from bad is important in my view. I just feel a lot of this rewireing funds or even just more funds to public education is so important. I think the teacher job should be more sought-after profession where only the best survive so it reflects on us students directly.

It has been said that the amount of students in america is roughly equal to the amount of honor students in India. This fact alone terrifys me. I feel that if we are able to specialize the educations of our individual students we would be able to actually contribute to the technological and philosophical expansions of the future. In order to stay inpar with these forign affairs, we need to stay at their level or even past it.
