Problems Facing Today's School Systems

In a very opinionated article about today’s public school system, an undisclosed writer talks about how the school systems are merely babysitting the students and teaching them how to memorize material instead of actually learn it. The article was titled, “American Public School Problems” and was placed on http://mb-soft.com/public2/school5.html. In this article, the author uses very strong emotion to grab the reader’s attention from the very beginning of the article. The author uses the technique of repetition to enforce the points being made. The author repeats that “the children today will not know how to think when they are adults” various times throughout the article to make his main point clear. The author also uses many current social examples to display this current problem in the school systems. From this, the reader is able to understand the broader range of this problem and its effects. I think that the author does a good job of making this topic and his effects known to the reader; yet, he does not provide the reader with possible solutions to this growing problem.
