As the demand for well-educated workers significantly grew, people were more likely to acquire higher-level graduation certifications. The trend that pursues a qualification from the higher ranking level of college results in competition to a large extent. Many scholars argue that it is easier to become educated today than previously. However, I disagree with this statement because teachers gradually lost their ethics, and the population sharply increase in recent years. These two factors collectively hinder students from top educational resources. Firstly, teacher ethics getting lost in some regions results in difficulty in well-educated nowadays. One of the primary indicators of educational qualities is the teacher itself because teachers play a crucial role between knowledge and students. While there is a gap among different teachers, somebody was patient to struggle with naughty boys; somebody gave up their students before the students themselves. The portion of such good teachers only will appear in the city towns where the rules of recruitment are a high quantity of supply, nonetheless, low quantity of demand. They had to outweigh the other competitors to get the job. The teachers' attitudes are markedly different in some regions where far away from city towns, such as rural areas. Those teachers who lost their ethics do not permit all the students to learn with high qualities. For instance, my friend Jack who attended the same school as me used to be a naughty boy at elementary school and was out in the cold by our home-room teacher. He hates to study and play at school every day. Undoubtedly, he failed to enter a better high school, much less college. Thus, it is not easier to become well-educated today when students are interfered with by teachers without ethics. Furthermore, the increase in population density prohibits students to be well-educated as well. Some people would say that population growth means opportunity increased. I concede the portion of people who can get top educational resources will never grow. Because of the scarcity of natural resources on the earth, impoverished people's fate is still limited to early marriage. According to the principle of supply and demand, the price of food will sharply increase as the need for food increases, which dues to population growth when we presume that the amount of resources on the earth are unchanged. At this circumference, wealthy portions might have extra money to pay tuition fees without worrying about surviving; impoverished instead. The money they earned just breaks even for their lives, so there is nothing additional money for these families' children to attend college unless they go to the bank to apply for loans. Therefore, population growth failed to offer more opportunities for everyone, especially from the perspective of the educational attainment rate. It is harder to become educated today than in the past for families that were not wealthy. In conclusion, the loss of the virtue of teachers and the soaring population density collectively contribute to the result that difficult to be well-educated nowadays than in the past.

In recent years, the demand for well-educated workers has significantly increased, leading more people to pursue higher-level academic qualifications. This trend has resulted in intense competition among students striving for a top-tier education. While some argue that it is easier to become educated today than in the past, I disagree with this statement due to the decline in teaching quality and professional ethics among some educators and the challenges posed by rapid population growth. These factors collectively hinder students from accessing top educational resources.
Firstly, the decline in teaching quality and professional ethics in some regions makes it difficult for students to receive a well-rounded education today. Teachers play a crucial role in imparting knowledge to students, and their dedication and commitment directly impact educational outcomes. However, there is a noticeable disparity between teachers who are patient and persistent with challenging students and those who give up on their pupils prematurely. Good teachers are often concentrated in urban areas where there is high demand for their services but limited supply, resulting in fierce competition for teaching positions. In contrast, rural areas tend to have educators who lack professional ethics and dedication, preventing all students from receiving a high-quality education. For instance, my friend Jack was considered a troublemaker during elementary school and was neglected by our homeroom teacher. Consequently, he developed an aversion to studying and failed to enter a reputable high school or college. Thus, it is not easier for students like Jack to become well-educated today when they encounter teachers lacking professional ethics.
Furthermore, rapid population growth poses challenges for students seeking quality education as well. Some may argue that an increasing population equates to more opportunities; however, I contend that the number of people who can access top educational resources will not proportionally grow due to limited natural resources on Earth. As populations expand, impoverished individuals often face early marriage or other constraints that limit their educational prospects. According to the principle of supply and demand, food prices will rise sharply as the need for sustenance increases, assuming that Earth's resources remain constant. In this scenario, wealthy families can afford to pay tuition fees without worrying about survival, while impoverished families struggle to make ends meet and cannot afford higher education for their children. Consequently, population growth does not offer equal opportunities for everyone, particularly in terms of educational attainment rates. It is harder for students from low-income families to become educated today than in the past.
In light of these factors, it is evident that obtaining a quality education today is more challenging than in the past. The decline in teaching quality and professional ethics among some educators and the obstacles posed by rapid population growth collectively contribute to this difficulty. As a result, students face greater challenges in accessing top educational resources and achieving academic success compared to previous generations. (476 words)
