Education reform Education hasn’t change much since the reforms it suffered in the Industrial Revolution. Few young people are satisfied with the current educational system. In extreme cases, this dissatisfaction leads to high suicide rates among students, as we see in Japan or South Korea. The two major problems that Education faces are memorization and lack of freedom of choice for the pupil. The current system bases its evaluation on tests that merely serve for checking how much information the student has been able to memorize. Thereafter, pupils forget virtually all what they had seemingly learned, rendering the pedagogical process useless. On the other hand, the lack of freedom of choice means you must study subjects in which you are not interested in at all and don’t bring any useful information for your future professional career. A debate on Education reform must be put forward to end with this wanton cultural torturing of our youth. Is there a synonym for "on the other hand" ("por otro lado", in Spanish)? If you know how to improve one's writing besides writing every single day a text, I'd be glad to read your suggestions! Also, I'm looking for English native speakers that are learning Spanish to be language partners with. Hit me up if you are interested! Thank you in advance
