Some districts focus on basic skills while neighboring districts emphasize the teaching of higher-order thinking.
I think it is very interesting that schools just in different districts can teach differently and focus entirely different schools and it makes me wonder if that is a good or bad thing and how it actually effects students success.

In some ways the American dream is a way to cover and ignore the fact that there are such big inequalities between different people and different areas and this idea allows you to ignore those disparities by saying well if you work hard anything is possible.
The controversies-over matters like school funding, vouchers, bilingual education, high-stakes testing, desegrega-tion, and creationism-seem,
I think these issues are very prominent in America yet at the same we try to cover them and still push the narrative that America is the place to chase your dreams and that everything is possible when in reality we lack compared to other countries in things like the school system.
It holds each person responsible for achieving his or her own dreams, while generating shared values and behaviors needed to persuade Americans that they have a real chance to achieve them.
I've always thought the American dream was an interesting concept because I never fully understood what makes this vision so unique to America. At the same time through this concept it has allowed for people to feel they can achieve something that they otherwise wouldn't think they could which is pretty interesting.
