There are problems in education everywhere not only in America. Education is the key to a bright future and so it`s very important in the growth of all children. If they take on a bad road in life, there are slight chances that they will get on the right track ever again. Education starts from little kids. First there is the education your parents give you and then there`s the one you get in school. There are kids that grow in poor homes or broken-up families for whom school is practically an escape from a dark future. For others school represents an obligation and so they only try to keep up with the rest but refuse to learn something. School should be considered an opportunity to become someone. Without any school you can`t do anything. The american educational system has the following stages: twelve years of primary school and secondary school meaning high school.



After each student finishes high school he can enter a college, university or even follow a job training. This system is similar to those in other places. But the problems in american education start now. Many students just don`t learn enough during all these years. The american education system doesn`t give students more choices. For example they learn in history only their country`s history. In other countries, the educational program includes learning more than one language, history of the entire world and so on. School should give you general  knowledge and not narrowing your horizon. American kids have to make some decisions even from high school. They have to choose a certain job that they want to follow and then learn as much about it as possible. Americans concentrate on one thing at a time.

Other problems in american education are classroom disruptions and violence in schools. In today`s schools kids come and go whenever they want to and they can also be taken out of class if somebody calls them. This is not a good idea because if they miss an hour or two , they miss the hole point of the lesson. Violence in schools is a more serious problem. Many kids start fighting because of stupid reasons and from a little argument they end up in hospitals or even dead. Because the government doesn`t do something about violence on the streets more and more high school kids end up dead because of guns.

As a conclusion, school should form you as a person, so what should those beaten up kids think about going to school every day in an hostile environment. Also choosing a school just because you have heard is good it`s not the way it should be. It doesn`t matter where you learn as long as you want to make something with your life. There are many kids that come from unknown schools and win national and international olympiads. So, in the end school is school anywhere, wanting to learn is another thing.
