American Education Systems

Imagine a world without quarrel no schooling, no writing, no communication. It is difficult to imagine such a place existing. Surely in this day and age when technology is move at a rapid pace and experience is the key for success, such a communication-less world has been eliminated. Yet for some people, this imaginary world without course is lighten a reality. A world of darkness and suffocating ignorance presses in around them leaving few and narrow possibilities for survival in a success-driven society. How do adults and teens end up in circumstances such as these? They simply slipped through the gaps of the American education system, the largest of which is the absence of emphasis on lit.The value of outstanding literature extends far beyond simply cultivation printed words on a page. Of course the primary focus of reading books, especially at an early age, is to learn how to read. How invariably, as bookmans learn these basic, unremark sufficient skills, the possibili ties become endless. Great works of literature contain practically more(prenominal) than words. Incredible insights into the time period of the authors life or of the subject on which the author has written are readily available. It is a history lesson without the textbook. History comes alive through reading. Literature also presents the chance to learn about new ideas and cultures previously unknown to the reader. Possibly the superior advantage gained through literature is that students learn to issue by perpetually reading excellent writings. Overall, a strong emphasis on literature produces a well-rounded individual.The problem with the public education system in this country is that somehow student graduate from high school without ever reading great works of literature. It happens time and time again. Either teachers do not assign students to read excellent literature, or students find star of the umpteen loopholes to escape actually reading anything. The results can be disastrous. It is awe-inspiring how many high school students can not write a paper. Some can literally not even write a sentence. There is absolutely no reason why any student in high school should not possess the ability to write a cohesive sentence and even an intelligent paper. Yet it still happens, and it is because students have not read enough and seen enough examples from great authors. The better(p) way to teach students how to write is to show them through literature. It is almost impractical to be a well-read individual and not be able to write well also.Throughout the majority of the twelve years washed-out in school, my personal education was based primarily on literature. During those vii years, incredible emphasis was placed on reading and also on writing. The schooling received at home was and continues to be invaluable in various ways. Specifically, the study of literature has been invaluable in school and in everyday life. It has been of great assistance in writing all of the many compositions required, and also in recalling specific aspects of history, science, cultures, and more. It is amazing how much easier it is to succeed having this knowledge gained through much reading.The most important change that could ever be made to the public school system is to place a much larger emphasis on literature at all levels of education. any of the difficulties students are experiencing in high school with reading and writing could be avoided if the right steps are taken. Literature must become a main focus. It depart greatly aid students in all aspects of school and learning simply to be required to read more. Perhaps they will even begin to love the written word and dive into great literature all on their own.
