Technology is a major part of our labor market today. In order for students to succeed in the workforce later, they need to acquire the skills today to work with technology, such as computers. Every classroom should have enough computers so that beginning at a young age computer skills are developed along side paper and pencil writing tasks. However, education is not for teaching morals. Families should teach morals to their children, while the schools teach them necessary life skills.
Education is meant to enhance certain abilities in students.
For example, by the time a student exits elementary school, the student should have the basic skills to read and write material as close as possible to a 5th grade level. She should be able to perform basic arithmetic such as addition and subtraction, multiplication and division. Children should be knowledgeable of cultures unlike their own. Students should have acquired basic language skills in another language than their home and school language. For example, in the United States, the average English-speaking student should be able to converse in another language such as American Sign Language, Spanish, French, or German.
