researchers studying the schools and the standard of education in the us have found that the american educational system has many weaknesses; among them are the inadequate level of literacy and a poor knowledge of history and literature. one study showed that around 80 percent of high school seniors could not identify dickens, dostoevsky, and ibsen. other studies indicate that students are weak in mathematics and writing skills.
many students simply do not study enough. two-thirds of high school seniors do an hour or less of home-work per night. american teenagers are often distracted by part-time jobs, sports, and other school activities, tv and socializing. some cannot cope with emotional problems, use of illegal drugs, or simply lack motivation. clearly, if americans are to become better educated, one study showed, students must study more, and parents must insist on it. a large number need help in learning english. many change residences and schools often, and a changing classroom population is difficult to teach. in some classrooms, teachers have difficulty keeping the students’ attention because disrespectful uncooperative students disturb the class.
certain problems come about as a result of trying to educate everyone together. the pressing problem is how to challenge the person of aboveaverage academic ability while taking care of the average student. the problem is solved in part by differentiated curricula. there is a wide variety of courses offerings in an american high school. students are allowed to choose a certain number of subjects they study. but in spite of the guidance system some make unsuitable course selections. until they drop or fail the course, they sometimes slow down the progress of the class. this is especially true of state-supported colleges and universities with a liberal admission policy. the general courses offered in the first two years are often designed to round out the education of the average person rather than for the specialist in a field.
in more specialized fields in the third and fourth years and especially at the graduate level, the problem is less acute because standards are rigorous enough so that students lacking abilities in that field will drop out or never gain admittance.
the problem of racial unbalance in schools exists in all parts of the united states, not just in the south. despite numerous efforts the problem remains unsolved. the most controversial method has been busing school children from their neighborhoods to schools in more distant neighborhoods in order to achieve a better balance of black and white children in the schools.
criticism of american education stimulated a reform movement which became particularly active at the end of the 1980s. as a result, 45 of the 50 states raised high school graduation requirements. efforts have been made to involve parents in school and to improve teaching. college programmes that educate teachers are encouraging academically talented students to go into teaching. school administrators are revising curricula; publishers are creating more challenging and interesting textbooks. finally, citizens are urging communities and the federal government to provide more tax dollars for education.
americans deeply believe in education as the best vehicle for individual and social advancement. even though for most young americans, formal education does not end with high school graduation; improving the basic school system is one of the nation’s top priorities.
my best friend’s name is olya, she’s one year younger than me and we live in the same house.
olya has long light brown hair, which is always gathered in a ponytail, small brown eyes, she is not very tall and has plump lips. we have been friends with her since early childhood, so i don’t remember how we met her.
she is a kind, sympathetic person, it is always fun and very interesting with her. olya is not only a sweet girl, she is still a very fair and decent person. i have never doubted her in my life, and i know for sure that my girlfriend is always honest with others and will not let anyone down. in addition, my best friend has two cats. i always play with her when i go to visit her.
we meet every day, often go for a walk and visit each other. on weekends, we often get together for the night. we watch movies all night, eat chips and make secrets.
we rarely quarrel, and if this happened, we try to discard all hardships and grievances. we have similar tastes in both music and food, so it’s easy for us to find common topics for conversation.
