American Educations system and it’s Failings

Main points to write about:
What are the benefits and drawbacks of the Montessori Method?
Do children who attend preschool do better in school later on?
What was the impact of the No Child Left Behind act?
How does the US education system compare to education systems in other countries?
What impact does mandatory physical education classes have on students’ health?
Do students who attend charter schools score higher on standardized tests than students in public schools?

You do not have to use all of these but I do want you to hit some of these points in writing this research paper. It”s be easier to write the paper and meet the requirements by focusing on some of these.

In this report, you will explain why you are interested in this particular problem. You will then explain the problem and discuss all you have learned about it. Then, you will write of what is being done to correct the problem, or what could be done to make the situation better.

It is important that you choose a subject that can be researched, but also choose a subject narrow enough that the problem/solution can be presented in just 4 to 6 pages. Let me give you an example: You can’t just say, “I’ll do my research on drug abuse because I know some kids that are using drugs.” That topic is much too broad. Are you talking about illegal drug abuse? Marijuana? Heroin? Prescription drug abuse? Do you want to discuss all types of drug abuse? Do you want to explore why people choose to use drugs? Do you want to focus on only teen-age drug abuse? Do you think the real problem is that there is not effective treatment for drug users?

As you can see, choosing a subject is a very small first step. You must narrow your area of concern because you are not going to write a book.

You will not use your own ideas or opinions. Instead, you will present the facts and/or ideas that you discover while you are researching your topic.
