Need help with my writing homework on The Qualities in the Prevailing Set Up in the Educational Institutions. Write a 1250 word paper answering; I am reminded of the parable of four visually challenged (blind) persons in an argument about the shape of the elephant. One had the feel of its long tail and argued that the shape of the elephant is long. The second one, who touched one of its legs, said the shape is like the tree. The third one touched its trunk and said the shape is like a rubber hose. The fourth one had the feel of the ear and said that the shape is like a giant leaf. An eye surgeon, who listened to their conversation, took them to his dispensary, operated upon their eyes and he was able to restore the eyesight. When he showed them the elephant, they realized that their judgment was wrong. Similar is the position of the politicians, sociologists, academicians, and the bureaucrats when they tender opinions and try to frame the policy on the system of education that needs to be adopted in America. None has a comprehensive outlook about the genuine needs of the students in a multicultural, multi-ethnic society that suffered from the bane of racism for more than two centuries. The goal of education needs to be man-made. Within this broad goal, all other subsidiaries yet important goals are integrated. According to the authors, reading scores alone will not go to mold an individual into a responsible citizen with abilities in the area of work ethic, physical and mental health, social skills and appreciation of the arts and literature. I am in broad agreement with the observation of the authors. The schools need to accept the challenges in these areas to enable the students to pursue their diverse goals and a new accountability system needs to be formulated. I also agree with the well-researched conclusions of the authors. The social, economic and cultural life is impacted by the materialistic civilization. With women opting out for full-time jobs in a big way and with less or no time at their disposal to devote to their home and children.
