They are too lenient on repeat trouble makers. Ship them out. One kid can cause many others to fail, or not get the education he/she deserves. Schools should be more strict on kids who misbehave over and over. Our taxes should go to help those kids that want an education. Not the ones who feel that they have to be there because it's the law.

I think that our school system is flawed for so many reasons but here are just to name a few.
Children are not inspired to love learning they are mostily required to learn. They are told which subjects they will study and what time of day they will study almost every minute of the day. This does not teach us to think for ourselves. This teaches us to follow the grain of what everyone else is doing. Hence this does not really help children to learn to think for themselves in a leadership way.
This system teaches our children to learn the attitude of "what do you want me to do and I'll do it." If you do it you are considered good and if you don't you are considered bad. Every child is different and yet the school system has no room for the child that may learn a little slower, or the child that learns in a different way.
Why if we are all different must we learn in the same rigid way? It doesn't make sense to me. I believe that also this flawed cookie cutter system is going to make it hard pressed for our nation to have great leaders like those of our founding fathers who learned in a much different way.
Even if you have teachers with good intentions there is still a very rigid curiculum to follow. Teachers try hard but are given such strict guidelines that it is hard for them to be creative. And many will say we need more money in the schools. I firmly believe that will not help at all but is a band aid fix to a problem that needs to be solved at the root.
REALLY GOOD QUESTION BY THE WAY!!!

"Amy" is right.
Focusing on testing is a critical flaw. They teach to the test.
It would be foolish to make science and history an "elective" I hated history in school but it could be come the most important subject to the future of the US cuz we don't seem to be learning from the present. Science seems to be the only future Americans have as all other jobs have been shipped over seas.

NCLB focuses on passing tests and not actually learning. Anyone can memorize facts and figures, they aren't spending enough time with REAL education....they spend 80% of the class time preparing for tests...if the kids don't pass the tests properly, the schools lose money and then they lose resources to help teach the kids. That is the issue that I am having with my High School children's education.

i think the biggest flaw is unnecessary teachings
stuff that they really dont need to know it kinda throws them off and has there minds all over the place the only thing a person really needs is to know math how to read and how to spell
i think things such as science or history should be extra courses for kids to choose if thats something they wanna pursue in life but when you
give a kid 7 different courses with some bein unnecessary there gonna have too much to focus on

Too many Americans do not teach their children to value education. How many times have I heard,"Let kids be kids." Why is it, my state still does not have mandatory kindergarten?? What are we waiting for?
Meanwhile (some)immigrants come into this country and run off with the scholarships and awards in our major universities. Their parents tell them to "get ahead" "use your brain" and they do! We should too!

US is pretty much the only country that treats education as a right rather than a privilege.

Government funded education is inherently flawed. When you have no competition, there is no call to arms, no reason to excel.
