Finally , to conclude , we can say that since we are at the turn of the century , it is imperative for us to make a lot of changes .
We all know this would be very difficult and costly , but if we don’t do it , if we stand still , we will not be able to keep up with today’s world , so it will be even costlier .
Then , appropriate procedures should be taken to ensure success for our students in the 21st century , and , sooner or later , we will have to face it :
Class size should be reduced and teachers should be given more time to work together and acquire the skills needed to help all students reach challenging academic standards .
However , there is something I feel I’m obliged to say before I end this article :
"Just as low performing teachers are burnt out and removed , good and dedicated teachers should be rewarded !"
