Idiot Nation

This article is what I called being honest. Michael Moore talks about the education system here in the United States. Also talks about how some of the people that are in charge of the nation are not smarter than us. In this paper he sets a lot of samples and gives a lot of names without been afraid. So it makes it more real like he really means what he is saying that he stands behind his word. For this article I won't have called an Idiot Nation because if this nation was full of Idiots it wouldn't be one of the most powerful countries in the world. The article mentions a lot of things I already thought where happening is kind of obvious. I personally don't know a lot of the answers to the question he mention in the article. It is sadly that the education is like it is. In our life time is not only important to know about what is happening at the moment, but is good to know and recognize what others in our past have done for this nation. I am from Colombia and when I was younger I went to school there and I remember that I had homework everyday on every single subject. For an exam there wasn't any multiple choice, so I had to study like crazy. Also by six grade I was starting to see chemistry & physics it was nuts and really hard. When I moved to the United States I was happy that I got to choose my classes and that school was a lot easier. So from the reading it makes me realize that what he is saying is true. Education is important at any age because it will make us what we are. Also is not fair what teachers are paid its sad. what is worst is that with the salary that teachers make they sometimes have to buy supplies for them and for their students. Some people blame teachers for their children lack of education, but the truth is that everything starts at home.
