the education system of planet earth

1. What are schools like and how did they get that way?• School s is divided into districts and each district has their own standards and rule for how the school is run. Students must attend school a certain number and years and days per year. They are required to fill certain criteria of what they need to study and the number of years they are required to study each subject this criteria is set federal government and state districts. There are different types of schools including public, private and charter schools. The majority or 88% of the students attend public schools which are free of charge to attend as opposed to the 12% of students who attend private which require tuition to attend. The majority of the funding for the public schools is provided by the district and state taxing. The schools offer a variety of supplemental services such as lunch programs, health programs, humanities and social science requirements. These services provided are to help children function in the community and society.
2. Who are the students?• The students are made up of all demographics throughout the country from the highest to the lowest income ratios. The students are made up of all different races and backgrounds. They consist of not only American children whose first language is English but also 19% are immigrants and 10% are English language learners.

3. Who are the teachers?• The majority are experienced and have advanced degrees in there subject areas. This is to ensure a great understanding in their specific area so the student has the greatest possible understanding of the information provided. This is not the case in all demographic areas in high poverty areas teachers are not always highly qualified in their subject area. Most teachers seem to be young white females. Reasons for this might be that the mind set of American citizens is to make more money, considering the low pay of most teachers may be the reason for this statistic. The high rate of teachers changing and leaving the profession is a question of how the education system is run.
