I think that the biggest issue, something that all of these touch on in some way, with our current education system is the attempt at standardizing and mass producing an education.
Taking a successful practice from one particular school in one particular neighborhood and trying to apply it as a blanket fix across the entire system. Its a difficult problem since we are trying to balance so many things in an attempt at making a fair system in which everyone has the same opportunities but failing the vast majority. Rather than personalizing the education system to best fit each student, for monetary and political reasons we have to instead focus on trying to get everyone as equal of an education as possible in the easiest way to roll out uniformly across an entire country. In an effort to try to give an equal education to each student and qualify the education that they are receiving by means of standardized tests we are letting many students receive sub-par educations. The problem is trying to solve how to better educate the individual while maintaining a level of efficiency that allows you to educate a rather large population. While we may be held up to the rest of the world of quality of education keep in mind we are trying to educate a population many times larger than the countries we are compared to. The country with the next highest population to the United States that ranks higher is South Korea with fifty five million. Nearly 1/6th the population of the United States.
