Answer 9

Than before what?

Our public education system, as it exists today, is only about 100 years old.  Before that, each county in each state offered very different forms of education, and it was not compulsory.  Therefore, only the select few ever stayed long enough to complete what we would call high school.  Many of these "schools" consisted of one teacher, teaching all grades, with only limited access to books.

So, yes, modern schools are certainly better than they were then.

But if you're asking if schools are better than they were twenty years ago, or forty, the question is more complicated.  

School means less than it did forty years ago.  A high school diploma used to be enough to get you a good job that would pay enough to own a home and feed your family.  That isn't necessarily true anymore.  For those same jobs now, employers are requiring college degrees.  This academic inflation has put a strain on many students who are not "school-smart" (there are many ways of being intelligent and skilled that have nothing to do with school).

Thus, a high-school diploma has become devalued.  Students don't see it has an accomplishment, but rather as a requirement to get into college.  

Because of this mentality, schools recently have seen their only purpose as college admissions and have started dropping the courses that used to be so valuable to working class individuals.  Schools are loading up with advanced math and science classes for the college bound and are forced to drop things like auto mechanics, masonry, constructions, electrical trades, and carpentry courses.

This means that those students who are not planning on attending college are not being given the education they need, thus further devaluing school for them.  This may account for the dramatic rise in drop-out rates schools have seen.  If the only purpose of a high school diploma is to get into college, and you are not planning on going to college, than there is no reason to get one.

All of this is very unfortunate as it means we will continue shipping our labor jobs overseas and further increase the gap between the classes in America.

Answer 10

I'd say the education system is in trouble. Maybe not from a purely academic standpoint (which it is slightly better than 10 years ago) but from a student/teacher relationship standpoint.

Students have never respected teachers less than they do right now. Kids think they can walk all over adults, and it's true- nobody wants to punish them.

Remember when Mom and Dad could give you a good ol' fashioned butt whooping for misbehaving? I never punched a teacher...

Answer 11

Technology and computers are better, but teaching, learning, and discipline are much worse.

Answer 12

most of the schools teaching has gone bad i would prefer the old one

Answer 13

Before what? The possibilities for students to gain knowledge are greater than they have ever been, but there is no discipline, work ethic, or believe that they need the knowledge.  

As an educator, who continues to improve my skills, take classes to keep up with the latest technology uses, and someone who tries to connect learning to the real world, I find that out of a class of 27, I may have 4 students who care when they do not succeed or apply themselves.

Answer 14

yes ofcourse
