The American Education System
Introduction
The education system is a series of educational programs and standards, the network of educational institutions and a set of principles that define the operation of the system. The nature of the education sphere in any country is determined by the socio-economic and political system, as well as by cultural-historical and national features. In fact, the optimal option for determining the best educational system in the world is possible through its investigation in the most developed countries, namely the United Stated of America. Specifically, the country is famous for being one of the best providers of education. Therefore, it is possible to fairly state that the educational system of the USA is the best system because of its superiority and effectiveness.

Thus, the particular invention made a significant contribution, and later became one of the best educational systems in the world.
Argument
Due to the fact that the US introduce the numerous innovations into the system of education making it more efficient, it is possible to claim that it is becoming one of the most progressive educational systems in the world. One of the reasons for this is the Common Core program. In general, Common Core envisages educational goals for students in secondary schools in such areas as mathematics and English language. Its programs set targets or standards aimed at better understanding of the basic subjects in order to better prepare students for achieving progress in college, work and in life (Wiener 56). In fact, the Common Core standards sufficiently differ from the usual educational program, as they set high requirements for the students' knowledge, but do not define the lesson plans and methods for teachers.
