What is the purpose of education in America? What constitutes a
quality education? These are tough question with different
answers depending on who is asked. Some might say that the point
of education is to teach children the basics of reading,
writing, and arithmetic along with a foundation in shared
beliefs and values. However, a growing number of individuals
have begun questioning and rethinking the American educational
system. Today's world is much different than even thirty years
ago, and this new landscape requires changes in the way we
approach education.
