Teru Clavel: The Faults of America’s Education System
Back in the days, you could still have the American Dream, have an education and greater opportunities, even though you were born in unlucky circumstances.
Now, that doesn’t happen because there are so many blocks, and everything starts with the lack of funding towards education. Today, it’s really challenging to raise a child, even if you are a dual-income earning family.
So what needs to be changed?
On today’s episode, Teru and I discuss our children’s future. We touch on the biggest problems in schooling in America, we make comparisons between the Japanese and the American schooling system, and we discuss the reasons nowadays, why children are sent to school.
Teru Clavel is a comparative education expert and author.
