Slide2The overall problems of the public educational system
The American educational system has low educational standards which allow other nations to pass them by educationally.
Teachers do not teach for students’ futures, they teach to keep their jobs.
The public school learning environment is in poor condition.
Slide3Low Educational Standards Yield Poor Results
According to a study in
Time
69% of 8
th
graders are below proficient in reading, while 68% are below proficient in math (Ripley).

Slide4US Against the World
Even though the United States is 5
th
in amount spent for education purposes, it ranks 21
st
in science performance (Ripley).

Slide5The solution, more qualified teachers.
Before teachers can become certified a bar exam should be given. The bar exam would test on core subjects taught in school along with an oral portion which help determine whether a teacher has the ability to run a classroom (Wherry).

Slide6The future of the nation is not being properly educated.
In a study done by MEED in 2012 it was said that 29.5% of potential employers believe that the ability to be a problem solver is a vital attribute they look for in graduates (Allison).
Public schools do not teach this to their students, they are too busy teaching to the test to worry about the students’ futures.
Slide7Solution, find unique ways to teach the curriculum and vital job attributes.
If teachers find ways to have students work together in class to solve problem-solving tasks then they learn teamwork and how to effectively solve
problems that can
be faced daily in
the workforce.
Slide8Poor overall learning environments lead to poor student performances.
Degreesearch.org presents statistics which say that 1.2 million students drop out a year, this is 7,000 students a day, and 1 student dropping
out every
26 seconds.

Slide9The solution, find administrators that care.
Paul Douglas White wrote an article on 6 of the major public school problems and possible solutions for them. White mentions the way to turn around a school system is to find principals that will drop everything and do whatever is possible for “their children” (White).
Slide10What does this have to do with you?
The students in the educational system are the future of the nation.
If the nation does not fix this problem what could happen to our futures?
