Even if he gave sufficient examples to prove this as a positive solution, by this point Bloom has already completely lost his audience. Bloom s idea of the importance of a strong education and how the system must be changed, seems to diminish in importance when surrounded by constant attacks, his pessimistic attitude, and drawn out claims that lack support. Overall, I think Bloom makes some important and relevant points that should possibly be examined more closely, but he falters in delivering them to his audience. He fails to gain the respect and attention of the readers by not giving them more evidence proving his point that liberal education is not providing it s students with an adequate education that will later help them in their careers. I think Bloom s essay could quite possibly symbolize an even greater problem in education.
Many people are incapable of recognizing and discussing problems in a productive manner.
I believe that this lack of positive communication could quite possibly mark the demise of quality education.
