The video "shifthappens" was an eye opening experience for me. It helped me realize that our country is not emphasizing education as much has other countries in the world. To hear that China will be the largest English speaking country in the world, and that more chinese students took the English AP exam was astonishing, and is not right. I believe that our country should be spending more money on education, because it will help every other aspect of our lives if people are educated.
I feel that my role as a teacher is increasing day by day. With the status of our country today, I feel the problem is in education, because the people are not recieving the best education they can get because schools are underfunded, and under resourced. I feel that teachers have a major role because the future of our country depends on the education of students. If no one becomes educated, then no one will know how to deal with problems in our country, and therefore our country would not be a "superpower" any more.
