WEEK 7 (Topic 6)

 Economic Forces Influencing Education & The School

In this topic, I have learned about some of the economic forces that influence education and the school. Social forces play a major role in the achievement that take place in our nation's schools. Factor that take place outside of the classroom have significant effects that intrude on a child's learning development. These social forces hold no prejudice to the youth for whom they afflict and arise in every school setting across the public school system. It is important that one recognizes the impact that social forces have in the future leaders of our country and what conflicts they create for our present day learners. Because we live in a competitive society and want to be able to compete in the global economy, achievement pressure runs rampant in classrooms across the country.
