Americans place the weight of many oftheir ideals,hopes,and problems on the nation’s public school system.some observers believe they have placed more responsiblities on the public schools than the schools can possibly handle.For example,public schools are often expected to solve student problems that result from the weakening of family ties in the United States.Rising divorce rates have resulted in an increasing number of children in the public schools who are raised by only one parent.Studies have show that these children are more likely to have problems at school than are children raised in families with two parents.
The class graduating from high school in 2001 has many children that are “at risk”for having problems at school:
Minority enrollment levels range from 70 percent to 96 percent in the nation’s 15 largest school systems.
One of four children live below the poverty level as childhood poverty has reached its highest level since the 1960s.
Fifteen percent are physically or mentally handicapped
Fourteen percent are children of teenage mothers
Fourteen percent are children of unmarried parents
Ten percent have poorly educated,sometimes illiterate,parents
Between one-quarter and one-third have no one at home after school
Forty percent will live in broken homes[parents divorced] by the time they are 18 years old
Twenty-five percent or more will not finish school
The Amekican ways
The education of new immigrant children provides the public school system with some of its greatest challenges.Many of the children come from countries where they have not had strong educational preparation,and their academic skills are below grade level.Others have come from school systems with standards similar to or more advanced than the American schools,and their academic adjustment is much easier.However,all these children must learn english.This means that they are trying to learn new concepts at the same time that they are struggling to learn a new language.Studies show that it takes five to seven years in order for them to be able to compete with English-speaking American children on an equal basis in classes where English is the language of instruction. There are some bilingual programs in areas where there is a large concentration of one language group,particularly Spanish speakers. However,in some schooldistricts,there are children speaking anywhere from 50 to 115 different languages. It is not uncommon for a teacher to have children speaking five or six different native languages in one classrom.
At a time when enormous new burdens are being placed on the public schools,the nation finds faced with limits on its material abundance. These limits have steadily reduced the amount of money available to the public schools as they try to deal with their rapidly growing problems.
