Therefore it is up to the public schools to provide this information to our students. I feel a successful curriculum should provide students with not only knowledge skills such as reading, writing, math, and science, but also problem solving skills, social skills, character building skills and much more. Within these skills students should learn the rights and responsibilities that go along with living in a democratic society. They should learn that they are empowered to make a difference, and what they do affects themselves, others and the world. I believe that overall, public schools should be a preparation for employment, for life, and for society needs.
Public school is provided for, and required of all American children.
Billions of dollars are spent each year to ensure each child is provided with a quality education. I believe our country spends such a large amount of money on education because it is important to prepare our students for employment. There are very few jobs available that do not require at least some basic reading and writing skills. It is up to schools to prepare all students for future employment once they finish schools. Public schools also have the responsibility of preparing students for a successful life.
