I support common school and I think it is a great idea because it offers education to all people in the society. Most importantly, it gives lower class a chance to climb up the social ladder and advance themselves. Often times, it is hard for a person to earn a higher income with the lack of resources and tools. However, I think with education, it is possible to change a person’s life and future. Although common school was meant to promote equality but often times, one can tell that it doesn’t. One example would be although everyone receives the same education, a lower class student might have to deal with financial problems whereas a person from the upper class don’t. Therefore, do you think every student will be treated equally or will it just bring the social classes closer?
I believe the federal government needs to step into the education system and seek some control. However, I also think the state government should step in as well. A perfect example would be education today, the New York education system has its flaws and needs to create a better curriculum for students. This responsibility should be put on the Federal government where they should create a standard curriculum for all the schools as a way of forming a foundation. This will benefit students greatly because it will allow them to be up to par compare to other schools. Also, this will allow the schools to decide whether they want their students to learn in a more advance level based on the standards that were given by the government.
