    There is no question that the American education system is flawed and is not the most effective to teach students a broad range of academic subjects. Students are graded on the ability to reproduce knowledge onto a piece of paper after days, weeks, or months of studying a topic. The lack of this ability results in failure to earn a passing grade in the subject matter.

In “A Young Person’s Guide to the Grading System,” an article written by Jerry Farber, a professor of English at the University of California at San Diego, the grading system is put at fault for the flawed educational system.…

    In 2008, the Hunt Institute for Educational Leadership and the National Governors Association organized a meeting to discuss new education standards for the United States (Common Core Timeline). From that conference came the idea of the Common Core State Standards Initiative, often shortened to “Common Core.” About one year later, the United States officially adopted the education guidelines (Common Core Timeline). After the Common Core’s implementation, American parents and educators realized how problematic the standards could become, particularly the mathematics. Common Core math standards set a developmentally complex curriculum, lack college-preparatory mathematics, and can eventually hinder U.S. competition with the rest of the world.…
