When I came to America, my heart was aflutter for the great education. For example, I desire to learn English and my major from excellent professor and to study in wonderful library and school. The reason why I thought about them is there are many famous universities in the United States; in the mean time, America is the best economic country in the world. However, in one day, I took a class that was about American education. It is one of the most serious problems in this nation; in addition, many Presidents up to now have been trying to fix this.
According to Businessweek, “Some 85% of adult Americans have at least a high school degree today, up from just 25% in 1940. Similarly, 28% have a college degree, a fivefold gain over this period.” He also refers that “workforce with high school and college degrees may not only fail to keep rising over the next 15 years but could actually decline slightly, warns a report released on Nov. 9 by the National Center for Public Policy & Higher Education, a nonprofit group based in San Jose, Calif.” It was shocked and wired for me. The reason why I thought that is most people usually get a bachelor degree in my country, South Korea. Additionally, we recently do not consider that a Master degree is a high degree. Now, I am personally able to find the reason from getting a job easily. Although people in the United States do not graduate a university, they can get a job. This fact means that there is not high competition for maintaining their lives.
Finally, his conclusion on this article is “the U.S. must push harder to get better teachers into poorer schools.” However, I do not agree this opinion. I personally insist that people are going to study when they feel that it is necessary. That means that the U.S government makes people feel to need earning degree for their bright future. At the same time, the government should strongly support the person who does not have enough money for education, such as student loan or scholar ship.
