Herperts essay response

So, Herpert is tackling the issue of the lack of education for the average American child. By extension, he's bringing to light the many issues that culminate in this issue. He states that the most important, is the Teacher quality. He says that there's so many teachers that are just there to punch in and punch out, just go through the motions that it's impacting the children. How are they supposed to be enthusiastic about learning if the teachers aren't? He also states the cause of this is a lack of regulation and straight up lack of pay for the teachers, which comes from the states cutting education funding. The other reason is because the teaching industry focuses on credentials, just how many passes and fails there are, vs. the quality of what's being taught. He proposes changes such as increasing budgets for school, or even overhauling the school system in general by introducing more specialized schools dedicated to what the children want to learn, which in it's testing phases has showed huge improvements.
