    Many people view the American education system as mediocre, or not good enough, and Amanda Ripley is no different. While reading The Smartest Kids in the World, I encountered a passage by her that stated that by allowing less distinguished schools to train teachers, Korean teachers became less prestigious and less effective. She then quoted, and agreed with a Korean policymaker who stated that “The quality of an education system cannot exceed the quality of its teachers”.

    My disability has affected my grades by decreasing them and making them harder to achieve.

Time management was badly affected because of doctor appointments, and treatments with REHAB, making it harder to balance between achieving high grades through academic studies and treatment.
