We really need to wake up. Wake up America! We used to be the envy of the world. I do all I can with my students, but budgets are limited. We need more good teachers! I imagine a future where technology can help us bridge the gap, feel free to send me a light and sound machine to offer to my students!

It is about time someone decided to do something about our crumbling education system. It is a disgrace! We should be on top of every list.

Maybe the manfacturers of these devices would offer schools a large discount? That would be nice.

Um, since when did South Korea get higher test scores than us? Pretty controversial to say that.

This sounds like paranoia. We are Americans and our education system is the best in the world. I don’t believe that any other country is ahead of us academically.

I have never heard of light and sound machines before this. I would like to know why they are practically unknown to the general public in the US and why other countries are using them. It makes me worry that if other countries are using them to enhance their minds they will surpass us and we will decline. Knowing so little about this subject is somewhat scarry.

Your remarks are provocative and controversial. While I do understand your intention to improve our schooling system I feel that pointing out our deficiencies is not the way to win us over.
