Education Problems

During high school while taking math classes and reading classes, each student thinks to themselves, “when will I ever use this stuff in the real world.” But what they don’t understand is that the real world is based on what you learn in high school and college. Students don’t realized just how important these classes and tests are in life. Math and reading skills are a very important part of being an adult. We use math and reading for everything, reading signs while driving, reading an application for a job and even reading the drive thru menu at a McDonalds. I believe that we need to express in simpler terms just how important reading and math is to everyday life. The government’s intervention is very important. I believe by making it a requirement to pass the Aims math and reading tests is a benefit to high school students and will help them as adults, even if they don’t realize it yet.

Educational achievement is measured by the performance on tests and how long the students will stay in school. Poor children are discriminated against in many ways, which affects the performances of their test scores, mainly because of the socioeconomic status of their parents. The parents in these lower social classes seem. While gathering the information for chart 3 I discovered that expenditure per student were much higher than those in the high schools located in the Indian Reservations. Actually the numbers reported to the web-site for the Indian Reservation were either to low to report or just were nothing because the only information I could obtain was “NDS”. I assume this mean no data submitted. Again this just proves the lack of commitment to the minorities in Arizona and our high school and that the education of our minorities is not as important as those in the upper class communities.
