11 September How To Email A  English 1020 Assignment Hello Please findattached herein my assignment. Thank you.Question 1Bob Herbert descries the need for the change I the education system as the current system posses to be inadequate in the information that reaches students. Although there have been positive feedback from the institutions in math and reading scores the general knowledge on social issues is below average. The system of education therefore has to be changed to incorporate the social aspects preset in life since life does not only involve attainment of a college degree. (Herbert)Question 2Herbert’s tone is that of sympathy and rage, as he does not understand how the people could live in the current state.

This is evident in the passage where he says that “The U.S. has at the moment not yet tackled the fact that it requires a school system that is capable of satisfying the educational needs of children that are growing up in this era that will be different from the 20th century as the 20th century was from the 19th century” (Herbert)Question 3He establishes its importance from the start where he interviews a high school child about the name of the current president, which the student apparently doesn’t know.

Question 4Herbert appeals directly to his readers values in the paragraph he talks about teacher quality and also the one that he talks about the wide and diverse field of substitute school models. (Herbert)Question 5I whole-heartedly agree to the post, as majority of the students have no idea about the society and what goes on in the political arena. It is by far vital for the current education system to be changed. First-name surname English 1020, meeting timeWorks cited Herbert, Bob. ‘Our Schools Must Do Better . Nytimes.com. N. p., 2014.
