The American Dream Today

American dream in jeopardy

March 02, 2011

The fact that they're trying to cut the staff of teachers in half in Wisconsin is completely stupid. American children are already being outperformed by Chinese students in academic achievements. America is supposed to be the best place to live, "the American dream." It will no longer be a dream if the education in the Midwest is cut in half.
I wouldn't want to become a teacher any more; it already makes an underrated job even worse. This is setting us up for disaster.


This  Article deals with the aspect of work and education in the American Dream. Apparently, you cant achieve the Dream if you dont get a proper education because as a consequence, you wont get a good job. I quess in this case the government is to be blamed that the students cant achieve their American Dream.

I guess you could relate this article to the Great Gatsby cause you need a real work that you like to live your Dream. It is not only money but also some work that you can be dedicated to. Gatsby has a lot of money, but he inherited all of it so he never did anything for that. And he doesnt seem happy all the time eventhough he has everything wants. Its not the things that you want, its the things that you need that really improve your life. And a job is definitely one of it, it gives financial and social security.
