The American school system is not nearly as terrible as many students make it out to be. While it may not be the absolute best it provides students with opportunities that students in other countries, such as Italy in this instance, do not. To begin with, America allows its students to attend general classes up until the college level. The Italian system requires there students to take a test at a young age that places them on a path that they do not get to choose. The students either go on a path to college or to learn a trade. Imagine if something like this tried to take place in the United States, the land of “equal opportunity.” The use of technology is the classroom is also a big benefit that the US provides its students with. Italy is a country that is stuck in the past and main focus is maintaining their culture and traditions. With the 21st century school system the use of technology allows students to connect to all areas of the world and stay up to date on the every changing technology. It also gives students the convenience of being able to share work without being with the person and re edit previously written assignments. Compared to Italy, which is my no means a third world country, the United States strongly demonstrates its benefits over other systems. America is always looking forward and does its best to provide students with every opportunity possible, including allowing them to student what they want. Its not perfect but it is something to be proud of.
