America, You Have No Discipline When it Comes to Education

We need to turn our attentions to one of America’s most important problem, our poor educational system. America’s education system is going down the drain these days due to the fact that we have inexperience teachers and no discipline. It is said that the higher the parent’s income than the more likely their child will succeed and that lower-income students are more likely to drop out because, they were not adequately prepared (Yglesias). The low income families are likely to live in a poorer neighborhood and their kids are having to go to a poor and low performing school, unless the parents care and are smart enough to transfer them to a higher ranking school using the transfer system. Low income students in danger for staying motivated, having self-discipline, and performing well in school. Though it will take much more than just taxing the rich and using money to benefit our education. Our main problem are the inexperienced teachers we are hiring. We need to stop letting all of our coaches teach class and hire experience individuals who have an education in teaching. Teaching should not just be a job that any one can do, it should be for the ones who qualify for that degree. If we were to hire more qualified teachers to teach our students, America would not have as many drop outs as we do now. We need teachers who will not just teach our students, but motivate them to a higher expectation. There is nothing more critical to America’s future than our education. Our economic power is determined by many factors, but education is the most important.
