Nation
at Risk was put into order due to low test scores and a decline in
students’ performances in educational scenarios. This brought to light the many
flaws present in the educational system. The two articles force us to look more
closely at the problems faced in the education system today; however, I am not
sure if I fully agree with what is being said. There is certainly a need to fix
certain aspects of education, yet there are also sections of it that are
continuing to progress. Though I see the need to progress and fix these
problems presented in education, how does one decide how to do so? It is difficult
to find a way in which to state how to fix the system when there is always going
to be contradicting opinions like the ones presented in this article. It leaves
the readers confused to whether or not this movement is beneficial or not. It
also leaves the reader infuriated thinking that the educational system has
failed. As teachers, we need to be open to seeing when kids are struggling, so
that we do not let them fall behind. After reading these articles, I have come
to the realization that students are performing at such a low level because they
are being pushed through the system even though they are not ready to be moving
forward due to some of the laws in place. As a future educator, I want to work
with my students individually to help them achieve all they can while also
remembering that I must educate all students to reach their learning goals.
