In my international forum class we have been discussing education systems around the world. One statistic showed that out of 30 top industrial nations, the United States was ranked in the mid-twenties for it's educational system. Unfortunately I feel that it is a cultural issue. Other nations often have been more successful because their populations are much MUCH smaller than this country's. However, China is enormous and yet still manages to educate its populace with great success. This is why President Obama is making a proposal to lower school dropout rates. Struggling schools will have to either readjust their staff, get a new coordinator, work on the organizational side of the school, or simply close. He proposes states receive $900 million to make these drastic changes.
