Education is always a hot topic in the media.
There are new ideas and programs begun almost on a daily basis. Many so called experts are saying that there needs to be big changes in our educational system today if it is going to meet the needs of tomorrow. Some of the main programs are those that deal with race, ethnicity, language, social class, gender, and disabilities. Programs such as inclusion and mainstreaming along with laws and court decisions such as Brown v. Board of Education are being reassessed and often criticized for there lack of equalizing the educational system for all. It is hard to pick up a newspaper or watch television without reading or seeing something about education.
