Problems in EducationThe American system has undergone several laudable reforms in the past. However, some factors remain unaddressed and require more aggressive measures. The unequal distribution of funds for schools is a practice considered suitable for all schools. On the contrary, this method of distributing funds has raised other relevant questions which suggest that it should be revised. There is also concern about the high student-teacher ratio in these educational institutions, which leads to very large classes. State-governing educational policies regarding maximum class sizes are common in the American K-12 education system. Introducing standardized release of funds to schools and decreasing the teacher-student ratio in schools, and consequently reducing class sizes in states, would significantly improve the American education system. Class size is strongly assumed to influence student learning in schools. learning. Large classes are associated with less individualized attention from the teacher to students. This is because it becomes difficult for the teacher to know each student individually, making it difficult to identify learning disabilities or even notice that certain students have special needs. Students who struggle with reading and learning do not receive the individual support they need to catch up. The other extreme is also true since those who would surely benefit more from additional challenges end up suffering because the teacher with a large class is less likely to detect exceptional learning abilities in these students. This introduces a loophole in the education system that allows the waste of special abilities that remain untapped...... middle of paper ...... in districts where funds from property taxes collected are high, leading to a concentration of skills and quality education in low-poverty districts. There is also a need to reduce class sizes in American public schools, which will consequently reduce the student-teacher ratio. It was found that smaller class size ensured better academic performance for students. A smaller class ensures better classroom discipline because the class is easier to manage in general. There is also an increase in the individualized attention given to each student by the teacher, enabling them to identify those who require special attention and those who are rightly exemplary in their ability to grasp concepts. This will ensure that both types of students do not suffer as a result of not taking appropriate action. This is how the education system can be improved.
