Reflection 8

Waves of reform in a way perfected our way of teaching. This Education reform had three waves that took place within one decade. But they made a change for so many generations including mine and for students in the future.
Wave one was the wave to riase educational quality by requiring more courses and more testing of student an teacher performance. Also states were to assume the leadership in improving existing practices. Wave two the state governors who promote improvement and accountability. Teachers were to be empowered, given more control over their schools. Some of the educational problems confronting most types of racism and were adressed. Wave three schools began to viewed as educational facilities than schools. The whole array of services needed to bring the child into sucessful adulthood should be offered at the school: one stop shopping for educational, social, medical, and other servives.
I believe tha this was a pretty good approach for progress here in America. Our students expecially in our public schools deffinately do not try as hard as children in other forms of school let alone other countries and continents. People always work harder and accomplsih more when ther is some form of an incentive. Even as adult; notice how a decade ago everyone wasnt eager to inrole into a college they just assumed that working in a retail store or a fast food resturant would be enough to support them and their family. However that isn't the case now unless you have a degree you will barely have enough to support for yourself.
Also this waves represent progress. We know now that our tax dollars and students times aren't being waisted. These test and programs are baisaclly telling us that this is what I know world; and soon , in time this is what i will be capable of doing with the right tools.
Soon every elementary kid will be in secondary school, then they will approach highschool, and hopefully reach college. Students can only be as prepared as their school has made them so why not set them up for success with expectations an standards instead of sending them out into the world to accomplish failure. ONce you reach that leve of adulthood then it's no longer free you have to pay for what hasn't been taught to you.
