The question for the survey was: Do you think that America has a good education system? This question was asked because most people believe that we have one of the best educational systems in the world. I expected that most people would answer that, yes we do have a good educational system in the U.S. and mostly everyone did.
I gave the survey around REACH time to people around the hallways. I gave the survey to 15 people of different grade levels. 11 people out of the 15 participants answered that yes, America has a good educational system. This answers were arbitrary. The four remaining participants answered that we do not have a good educational system. Most of the 11 people were freshmen and sophomores.
The results came out this way because it was mainly lower class men. Lower class men might think that we have a good system because they haven't researched or are not aware of the educational system and how it has been working out for everyone. If the survey was given to teachers the results might of been very different. The teacher's answers would of been more interesting because they know the educational system better than anyone. The results were not surprising to me because I expected what the results were going to be.
Based on the survey I would probably write about the educational system in the U.S. and write what is working about it and what isn't working at all. Also include what countries have the best systems and what they are doing to keep the students engrossed in learning. What is working for them?
Gaby, This was an interesting posting. I wonder what our exchange students or other students who have actually attended schools in other countries would have said. I agree that you would probably get different answers from adults/teachers than 9th and 10th graders simply because they've had more exposure to educational systems.
