Education

Fahrenheit 451 essay Caison Newton
In the modern time we live in, a full education is no longer needed and will therefore be “dumbed down” due to two different reasons. One is technology and the lack of the ability to reach all students effectively. These are the two reasons that our lives are changing everyday as well as changing our education.
The first reason education will be “dumbed down” is because of the lack of the ability to reach all students. Classes are getting more and more crowded year after year especially in over populated areas that do not have enough schools or classrooms to distribute students to. There are so many students in all of the classrooms that soon teachers will not help them all individually like some need it.

You can Google anything you want and you will have pages and pages of results all on one subject of your choosing. This makes the need to know all the information about something useless.
