Literacy and Cultural Literacy
A Brief Summary of My Presentation:
The presentation on E.D. Hirsch, Jr. titled Literacy and Cultural Literacy dealt
with the crisis in the educational system in the United States. Cultural literacy of
American students is declining compared to other nations. The school systems within this
nation are not teaching students the core information which they are lacking an
understanding of. Schools are instead overloading students with too many options in the
curricula that no two students attending the same high school, for example, could be
taking completely different courses. There is no common curriculum that all students are
required to take which would help ensure that all students have a core background of
information. In order for schools in the United States to improve its standard of education
schools need to establish a core information which all students need to have. If students
have not learned and mastered basic knowledge then it is difficult to understand more
complex material.
