Do you feel that children in Third world countries are receiving a better education than children in America?

Question

i have to answer these questions for a class i am taking and i would appreciate it greatly if you guys could give me some input.

Answer 1

No, I certainly don't. People love to be cynical about the quality of education in the US, but the fact is that every single child has the opportunity to receive 12 years of education at no cost to the family. Additionally, there is enough money in the US to put basic resources in the great majority of our schools. There are myriad problems with the US system, but it still reaches nearly every child at least a little bit.

In third world countries, teachers often work for no pay, and classrooms do not have even the most basic of supplies. There is little or no money for books, office supplies, etc. Children in those countries have a much harder time of receiving their educations than American children. Oftentimes, secondary schools (middle and high school level) are not even an option for those kids.

Answer 2

I don't think they're getting a better education than in America, it just seems like we're more focused on those third world countries. Because we are focusing on them more, it might seem like they're getting a better education although that's not the case. Like someone else mentioned, they don't have the option of university or a higher level of learning. They're quite limited to what they have. You have to admit though, that kids in third world countries are more excited about getting an education than kids here. Children in America are too spoiled to be grateful for what they have.

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

that's right.
