1137 Words5 Pages

What do you feel and think when the word school is said? It 's most likely disgust and annoyance. The students of today believe that being in school is like being in prison. They feel this way as a result of perceiving that they are prohibited of feeling free while attending school. This feeling of lack of freedom comes from tons of work to do and also from feeling that the work they complete is not amusing or interesting. This aspect is a massive problem for everyone! If students are unable to enjoy learning, what will become of our future? In the United States, the goal of the public education system is supposed to prepare students for college, citizenship, and future workplaces. As well as teaching them how to become critical thinkers and teach them the accommodations for future workplaces. Though these certainly are important, they could have a negative impact on younger audiences who need to be taught more basic information that will be used in their present and near future. The public education system itself is not regulated nor does it rely on the government, but by the state and the specific county, one abides in. This could mean that dozens or more counties aren 't teaching the correct things to their students, or simply are out of commission to put in the effort to educate their minds. Several people argue that it 's not the teachers ' fault a student fails, but the students ' fault for not putting in the effort or paying attention. In the end, it 's not only about

    School is a place where you go to spend about half of your life learning about topics that simply do not interest you or that truly won’t help you in the future. The U.S government tells the teachers what they need to teach in their schools for the class curriculums, so that the students can learn a healthy amount of material. The best thing is that many high schools fail to teach their students important things. Many teachers just pass students along through their class, because they don’t want to hold them back and deal with them for another year, but soon enough most of us move onto college. I’ve seen many people fail during college, because their high school did not push them to try to achieve great grades.

Humans are in school during the early years of development, thus the education system impacts their thoughts, choices, and overall wellbeing.

    Our educational system is failing us. The United States of America is supposed to be the “greatest” country in the world but statistics are showing that our government/educational system is failing us; children/young adults of the nation. Being a student of a middle ranked school in Arizona, I personally have had a first-hand feel for how good and/or bad teaching affects students. Just in high school I have had teachers that would just assign websites as our lesson and even teachers that sit at their desk for the whole hour; don’t even go over the mindset, homework, and maybe only show one problem so that we’ll know what the homework will be like. Until sophomore year I didn’t even know the differences between you’re, your, too, and to.
