Education in Massachusetts

Education is one of the most difficult issue in Massachusetts. the problem start since Elementary school and High School. According to Michael Levenson, a Boston Globe's correspondence the problem is not a secret."Declining enrollment, an imbalance of resources and performance among schools, disappointing MCAS scores, lagging achievement among student of color including a troublesome drop in minority students at the city's elite exam school, Boston Latin." We can realize that students in Massachusetts are more likely drop school to work as a cashier in Mc Donald, Burger King or any other fast food place. Why? because they have more chance to get hire than an adult immigrant. Another issue, at the age of 16 they can take any decision they want and their parent cannot blame them. A few of them think school is for life when they reach High School and sometimes their parents do not have enough resources to pay a private college, as a result they struggle with a two years Community college and they have to work to help themselves. My daughter frequents Public School since she came to the United States, the first time she went to school she felt discriminated because of language. When she dropped the barrier of language, she met other problems in the midst of the other students. The problem as myself I realize, students in public School have to much time or they are neglected. When I test my daughter in writing or math, I realize that she needs a lot of improvement. However, her report card sometimes shows me the opposite. She went to take the exam for Boston Latin, her result gave an average of c+. However, her report card sometimes is better than that. To sum up, education in Massachusetts need to rethink from Elementary School. Accept children to work at the age of 16 is one of the problem the Government need to change because children cannot wait to reach this age to start punching. If they know they have to submit their High School diploma to work, they will make more efforts and maybe after High School they will have another way of thinking. This law must not be for immigrants, only for children who go to High School in the US. The Public School and The Private School must follow the same program, they must have the same rules and at this point we can trust when they say "No child left behind"
