I liked the first reading for the class. It gave a lot of useful information that teachers should know about the education system. It explained that the education system is not perfect, and there are many issues that teachers will have to deal with. The section about the amount of funding a school gets I thought was interesting.
I found a few things surprising in this reading:
The US has a decentralized education system, which is odd because the education system is an important foundation of our way of living
Policies are often made at a local level, not a national level
Fundamental aspects of eduction vary from state to state
Most the money is coming from the state or local level, even though it is getting more expensive to put kids through the school system, but the amount given to school systems hasn't changed.
A lot of education districts are severely underfunded, and is causing a problem for those districts
It is surprising that when we get older, statistically we would be less efficient in applying what we learned at school compared to other countries
