Lack of Education

Lack of education is a drastically big global issue in the world which affects many lives. Not only does lack of education cause many issues, but it itself is an issue that we cannot look over. This issue causes problems such as deficit for the community, an intolerant society, and it will create a cycle of poverty.

There are many reasons for why the U.S. education system is failing. For one, parents are not involved enough. There must be some interaction through students and parents outside of school to help students succeed. Kids come to school not open minded, their minds instead are cluttered with random information and ideas. We also still have not achieved education equity. In order to achieve equity, school systems need to have an approach for analyzing findings about learning approaches and objectives. 

Technology is a huge problem with schooling. It brings a whole new dimension to cheating. It is as simple as finding a quizlet online with all the answers to an assignment. Many students lose their focus in class because all they are thinking about is their phone and getting back onto social media, or they are too busy playing games on their computer. Technology is a very helpful tool in today's ways of teaching and schooling, but it does cause many problems.  

 

Do you think there should be a change in today’s ways of teaching? 

 

What do you think would help student's education?

  • Great topic choice and good job replying back to students Caitlin! I am enjoying reading the comments! I do think your summary could be a bit more focused.

  • I think there are changes that could be made to the education system especially in public schools. For example there are some teachers who don't try or how they teach things that we won't need in the real world. We should be learning more about what we will need outside of high school.

  • no the school education system is fine but there are some small ways of changing from how teachers assigne work for kids to do 

  • I think there are some changes that could be done to improve learning in students but it also depends on parents they need to be more involved in their kid's education if they want them to do good. it also depends on the student's interest in learning.

  • For me, I love some of the ways that my teachers teach but other not. But I don't think that all students learn the same, so I do think that we need a variety of different ways of how teachers teach. I think one way to help student education is choosing the way you want to learn. For example, some kids work at a faster pace than others. 

  • I think that there needs to be a change in the education system especially with the public schooling system and how some teachers don't even try. I also think that some teachers should be more fair with different students and who they favor. There should be a change in the schooling system to make some big improvements. 

  • I think there should be a new way of teaching because everything has changed except for the way teachers teach you. I think they could come with new ideas to help students. I think teaching us things that we would use and not stuff that we are never going to use again in our lives would be helpful for students. I feel like we are just memorizing information for the exam and not learning it for our life.

    • I also think that we learn new confsuing things that don't matter just to memorize it and take a test and forget about it all shortly after. Also trying to learn a topic and have a test on it in such a short period of time makes it hard for students to remeber it long term.

  • I do think that todays teaching should be different. Some teachers need to acually teach the kids and give them an example how were gonna use it in the outside world. If we'll never need it or use it, whats the point of learning it? I just think we need to learn more about the outside world and about doing stuff when were living on our own. 

  • I think our whole curriculum needs to be rearranged to stuff we will use in our everyday small town lives. For example, why are we required to learn about y=mx+b when we aren't shown how or why we have credit cards, or how to even balance a checkbook?
