In our time, education has declined. I can ask all teachers a question: What is your teaching purpose? Give assignments and check? no, Match score? not! In modern times, many of the most important items have been removed because of the government. Example: Subject Logic, Calligraphy and many other subjects have been rejected even though scientists have proven that they are effective in education. In some countries such items are still there, for example Japan there is still a calligraphy item. It's not just about the subjects, it's about education itself, because of the government, teachers have forgotten what the goal of teachers is and do you know what the goal is? The goal of teachers is simply to make them understand and not to give a grade and give a piece of paper. Because of evaluations, we are trying to get numbers, not knowledge! In America, education has been corrected and they will teach only the necessary information and not as our country gives unnecessary information. The biggest mistake of the government is that in many assignments it has probably already been noticed that questions about politics appear in questions and this is also a problem. Why policy in education when our country already understands this? perhaps never! Therefore, I advise everyone to study even from grade 1 in America.
