I believe that Americans don’t value education like they should. In today’s world every citizen of the United States has a opportunity to be educated. Because everyone can get one it had become less valued. This can be easily seen in how the public sees education, and the attitude they have towards education. Teachers are often blamed for the current decline of test scores, when more often than not it’s not the teachers fault. I find that it’s mostly because the students just don’t care. They feel that education is not important, and to be honest I both agree and disagree with this. Now I say this because of the way education is currently going. Currently one of the requirements to graduate is algebra 2. Now this is a class I find highly unimportant. I say this because right now I plan on being an accountant, which uses basic adding subtracting, multiplication, and some basic division. Why on earth do I need to understand algebra or calculus? This is where I agree with the other students. When state requires us to take these higher end classes, it’s just unnecessary. My mother did not take algebra 2, and she is very successful.
