I plan on going into polotics when I head for collage so I will discuss one of my views on something I believe is a problem. One of my biggest opinions is about the public school system. I understand that there are students that learn the way public schools teach, but the majority of the people generally forget most of what they 'should' know by the age of 30. Making students memorize certain things each year so they can pass the test at the end is not the only option to education.
One of the strongest ways for people to learn is to think deeper about what they are learning, not just being forced to write a three page paper on some guy that wrote a famous book; instead, they could read the book that he wrote and possibly have a class discussion about the events in it and possibly why he wrote it. This is just one example, another way students learn is to be active. Schools could be made to focus on active activities that help the student understand exactly what they are learning, maybe they could do a skit with Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech in it.
Personally, I think it would be better if America could find a way to create public schools of different varity. There is, of corse, charter and private schools, but these are not always available to familie's. I believe it would be benefitial to creat public schools with a new technique to teaching for the students that simply have a different way of learning.
