...school? Education better now than 20 years ago.
My friend is Pros and I'm Cons, but I'm having trouble finding information. can anyone help?

you can say that although there is more info in education, there is less emphasis on values and morals. there is less 'hands-on' teacher-student interaction.

Cons? underpaid teachers, overcrowded schools and classrooms, too much emphasis on state and nationally mandated tests, lack of funding in many schools, less creativivity allowed for teachers because of the state testing, rising crime rate in schools
