PUBLIC EDUCATION
I'm an experienced educator and after completing a semester with 50 19-year-olds I can honestly say that education is on life support.
Public education first gained a foothold in American in the 1830's. The goal of such education was to create a literate and productive citizenry with a common system of morals. Today, the definition of public education has become broader. Also known as state schoolsin other countries, public schools dominate the American landscape as a standard in services provided by the government.
