A Vision of K-12 Students Today-(2012)

               It seems that in today's society, many teachers still don't take advantage of the technology presented to them to better teach their students.  This could result in the statistic that 1 in every 4 students will not graduate with diplomas.  This means that 75% of students in the United States will not graduate. Eighty-nine percent of teachers don't use blogs. Many countries are far more advanced in the subject areas of mathematics, literacy, and science than the United States. Many students in the United States are poor test-takers on examinations.  This ranks the United States as the country with the lowest scores on examinations of the different school subjects. We as a country need to act now and fast. It will only help us in the long run with education. If we are all actively helping this cause there will be a change for the better.
