es for these subjects, students are learning the subject and why they need to know it. Not only are students learning but also they are being prepared for life outside the classroom, one of the main purposes of education itself.Another big problem with education deals with history. There are plenty of history classes and plenty of focuses. All of them fail to show the importance of history. They fail to show how the present contains and expands on the past (Sarason 4). Human accomplishment is the only thing that has put us where we are right now. That is something that is important to know because our connections to the past and our understandings of them are what move us to the future without tripping over our tails. This is not to mention the old adage that those who are ignorant of history are doomed to repeat it. That is the epitome of backtracking. Progress will not occur if we do not know from where we are progressing. Schools do not acquaint students with the enormous amount of careers on this planet. Of course, there are nearly as many in this country, but economies and Frieberg 7societies are starting to become more and more global. Schools do not give students information regarding careers. There are career centers at some large schools, but these are out of touch and ineffective on many levels. They do not reach out to students in the least and they do not make themselves accessible. Another reason these do not really work is tied completely into the first problem discussed above. There are plenty of students who feel the choices and opportunities possible for some students are in no way available to them (Ehrlich 63). In hand with these problems with the system, there are problems that must be solved from the outside. The first of these problems is blame. When there is a problem, Americans take a hands-off approach to solving it. We find out what the problem is then we want to assign blame to someone or something...
