The education system has been a controversial issue among educators. School requirements do not allow students to choose what they want to study for their future. It is a big problem to force students to study specific programs, which do not help them to improve, and what they like to create something. Educators choose a general system for educating all students based on general knowledge. Intelligent or brilliant students must be part of that education system that does not allow them to improve their creativity. Educators try to change that system to make it better, but their change was not so great as to be an example to the world. Furthermore, has this change qualified the education system to compete with other systems or not? Some examples and reasons led me to agree with some points of Gatto and Edmunson and to disagree with them. John Taylor Gatto, in his essay “Against School: How Public Education Cripples our Kids, and why,” argues that the contemporary purpose of public school education is to produce “harmless electorates,” “a servile workforce,” and “consumers brainless” (28). According to Gatto, he is blaming public schools by explaining that the purpose of education is to mold students to certain expectations and habits without their interests. He claims that students “want to do something real” (Gatto 23). Furthermore, he explains that they produce a manageable working class and “mindless consumers” (27-28). His point is that students want to learn something new that helps them in their lives better than school books that do not apply to their interests and experience (23). He then recommends homeschooling as an option for schools (24). Gatto argues that contemporary schooling “has adopted one of the worst aspects... middle of paper... of non-school education; a great representation in agreement with Graff's statement that students are limited by not considering their interests when creating curricula (Graff 197). In conclusion, education is broader than simply falling into what the contemporary school system has to offer. Both Gatto and Graff demonstrated this by explaining how conforming students to certain educational perspectives limits their potential in other educational branches that interest students. Furthermore, curricula should ensure a balance between making school a place to obtain information and accommodating the educational needs of each individual student. It is critical to understand that reforming the academic system, perfecting schools so that students learn exactly what they are interested in, will lead to students accessing their full intellectual potential.
