Education As” Active History”: A Cautionary Tale? ” by Jason Ellis, the public school system in the United States and Canada was criticized intensively by a group of historians called radical revisionists in the 1960s (2).

When I was ten years old I left public school and attended a private school. At the private school every hour of the day was scheduled and the students had no choice in classes and activities. For example, we had no option on what to do during recess; it was already picked for us. Field trips were limited to a teacher’s farm, instead of going to the Denver Zoo or the Natural History Museum where most public schools classes went for field trips. Going to the zoo or the museum…

This was a day I’ll never forget, for this day while complaining about my family reunion to a coworker, named Terri, I was taught a valuable lesson about family when she invited me to attend her family reunion next June at the Corsicana State School. “You think your family is dysfunctional, come and meet mine” this exuberant woman exclaimed.

This difference was a result of the structure of a private school…

to our public education system; unfortunately that notion is false. Among thirty developed countries, the United States ranks 25th in math and 21st in science (Lessons in Education). As our economy is becoming more dependent on technological innovation, our position in the world in regards to math and science education is very weak. The hard working taxpayers of the United States pay near 10,000 per student to be education in our public school system (Lessons in Education).…

In Kandice Sumner’s Ted Talk, “How America’s Public Schools Keep Kids in Poverty”, she composes a well-constructed argument, concerning the issue of improperly and unequally distributed funding and resources to schools. Specifically, schools that are in low income and increased “colored” areas. Although I agree with her point of view that there should be a more structured and equally supplied school budget with necessary resources, I do not believe that the inequality is targeted to students of…
