School a place where parents or guardians send their most prized possession, their children, to learn. School alone cannot bring about the educational results we need, parents must take more responsibility and interest. All children are capable of learning and no child should be permitted to fail, as an old proverb said: “It takes the whole village to raise a child.” Together the results will be rewarding.
“Excellence in education is possible today if we teach our students to read, write, understand the written word, master standard English, appreciate hard work, have self-respect and respect for others, seek values, and shun crass materialism.” (Alexander, P4)
Learning is more than books, materials, and facts, it’s a process that comes with time. Values are also important factors of learning and of life. Respect is one of those values. To understand that there may be more than one way to do something well. Respect

In summary schools are for learning for a better today and brighter tomorrow. (Hechinger, P6) Understandably, the best science and math teachers, already in dangerously short supply, are entering higher paying jobs in private industry. African schools are housing classes of 100 students in extremely deficient conditions, no water, or electricity. By this I mean, we can review and discuss our success and failures, with what works and what doesn’t work. These observations are more important than any standardized tests. Japan is graduating three times as many electrical engineers than we are.
America, truly the land of opportunity, yet our schools, which holds the key to the future of our country drags on fighting our government for funds, smaller classes, and better opportunities for our children. We must be accountable for the performance of our pupils and their learning environment. But by then, at current rates, about 75 million children, most of then in Africa, will have none! (Hassan, P2)
On the other side of the spectrum we can compare our system with Japan, Canada, Soviet Union, Sweden, France, West Germany, and Britain. It bore the brunt of civil rights movement teachers, strikes, parent’s boycotts, desegregation measures, overcrowding; shortage of qualified teachers at all levels. “Work with schools to make the work place available for the kinds of integrated academic-vocational experiences this nation needs to build a school-to-work transition system. Depending on the needs of each school, there may be situations where parents might need help in helping their child. Bruckner believes school should be a place where adolescents feel at home, a place that they might want to come to even if they didn’t have to go. All the students bright, average, or below average, should have a strong basic curriculum available and a diversity of learning opportunities; which will allows them to learn at their own pace and all students regardless of race or religion should be treated equally. Student’s who are deficient of these skills will severely limit their ability to function effectively in our society.
