The Importance Of Student Apathy In The Classroom

More likely to serve low income students is urban public schools which who are reportedly failing to educate the students they serve. In urban public schools, Numerous understudies and their families are living with serious financial disservice. Students are not proven to be the problem. The education that urban students in government funded schools get is evidently insufficient. To be a school that promotes a good academic status of students, you can’t lack basic social utilities. Poverty in urban schools can be fixed. A feature that characterizes effective schools involves coordination instruction among teachers which contributed to the weak academic performance of low income students. You must ask yourself what would be the best solution to help these students succeed? Because urban school are being run badly, they are failing. Improvement within management lies a solution. According to Chicago Tribune in the news article” Economic Inequality: The real cause of the urban school problem” findings show that the root of the problems facing urban schools can be found in gradual but extremely powerful changes in the nation's economy It takes a comfortable environment, suitable effective committed teachers, more use of instructional practices consistently and available necessities and needs. The most important statistic provided is the Growing economic inequality contributes in a multitude of ways to a widening gulf between the educational outcomes of rich and poor

Education is an integral part of society, School helps children learn social norms as well as teach them to be successful adults. The school systems in United States, however are failing their students. In the world as a whole, the United States is quickly falling behind other countries in important math and reading scores. The United States ranked thirtieth in math on a global scale and twentieth in literacy. This is even more true in more urban, lower socio-economic areas in the United States. In West Trenton Central High School was only 83% proficiency in literacy and only 49% of the students were proficient in math. These school have lower test scores and high dropout rates. Many of these students come from minority backgrounds and are often form low income families. There are many issues surrounding these urban schools. There is a severe lack of proper funding in these districts, and much of the money they do receive is sanctioned for non-crucial things. Schools also need a certain level of individualization with their students, and in many urban classes, this simply does not happen. While there are many factors affecting the low performance of urban schools, the lack of proper funding and distribution of funds, the cultural divide between teachers and students in urban districts, along with the lack of individualization in urban classrooms are crucial factors to explain the poor performance in these districts. Through a process of teacher lead budget committees and

My class was very lively at first, but as the year progressed and the more lessons we had, the staler it became. It didn’t matter how many activities we did, we completed them for the sake of it without any enjoyment; eventually our behavior at school affected our behavior at home too and due to this none of my classmates were able to develop any kind of passion. We went there to learn, went home, did our assignments, and repeated that over and over and over again. All the habits that were imprinted onto us became harmful to the point in which half the class would shake in terror if they missed an assignment, the guilt of not doing it the night prior eating us away which in many cases caused nausea. During the five years we were in primary school, all students belonging to each classroom acted the same way as their classmates. We all had the same morals, and those who couldn’t handle it were removed by their parents or by the

For decades now, there have been educational problems in the inner city schools in the United States. The schools inability to teach some students relates to the poor conditions in the public schools. Some of the conditions are the lack of funds that give students with the proper supplies, inexperienced teachers, inadequate resources, low testing scores and the crime-infested neighborhoods. These conditions have been an issue for centuries, but there is nothing being done about it. Yet, state and local governments focus on other priorities, including schools with better academics. It is fair to say that some schools need more attention than other does. However, when schools have no academic problems then the attention should be focused

Students in the classroom come from a variety of backgrounds. Their lives are shaped by their families, their communities, but also their peers in school whom they will spend hours a day with throughout their educational career. The ability to form relationships with others, to create lasting friendships that grow and evolve with time, is detrimental to all children and their development. Lacking the ability to do so, whether it is directly because of their conditions or because of how other students perceive them, can dramatically harm them emotionally and mentally.

America’s school system and student population remains segregated, by race and class. The inequalities that exist in schools today result from more than just poorly managed schools; they reflect the racial and socioeconomic inequities of society as a whole. Most of the problems of schools boil down to either racism in and outside the school or financial disparity between wealthy and poor school districts. Because schools receive funding through local property taxes, low-income communities start at an economic disadvantage. Less funding means fewer resources, lower quality instruction and curricula, and little to no community involvement. Even when low-income schools manage to find adequate funding, the money doesn’t solve all the school’s

There is a high school dropout crisis far beyond the imagination of most Americans, concentrated in urban schools and relegating many thousands of minority children to a life of failure (McMurrey, 2014). The impact of dropouts has an effect in our country. A life of failure can contribute to these students growing up and having a possibility of unemployment due to the lack of education. There are higher chances of living in poverty, having health issues, and higher possibilities of going to prison. McMurrey (2014) states that our country is now planning how many prison beds they will need by looking at third grade reading scores. All of these factors contribute to a future crisis. If the country is looking at third grade reading levels, they assume that children will not

“When we can predict how well students will do in school by looking at their zip code, we know we have a serious systemic problem” (Gloria Ladson-Billings 20). When we are able to forecast how a child will perform by where the child resides, then how can we say that every child is receiving quality education. The unsuccessful educational system infused into the United States is affecting the majority of minorities. In the United States students due to their race and social class, suffer from underfunded public schools, inexperienced teachers, and housing segregation, which in turn inhibit their opportunity to succeed through education. These difficulties plaque students from the very beginning of their public school experience and follow them throughout their academic life. There are a few solutions to these issues but they have to be implemented and enforced with a slow integration.

While all these possibilities from providing increased educational funding to inner city schools seem to provide a solution to the educational difficulties, the underclass is a multifaceted problem with several contributing factors. For example, the issue of students dropping out of school is not only affected by simply the quality of their education and resources. The appealing allure of drug dealing and belonging to a gang, both behaviors that involve criminal actions that could lead to incarceration, severely entice students from finishing their education. Furthermore, many children lack familial support to complete school. Their families tend to consist of numerous high school dropouts, and, therefore, lack the knowledge that comes from past experience leaving the student at a severe disadvantage. Plus, some family members will even remove the students out of school themselves, because they view the school as a waste of time. Even more detrimental to the underclass are the longstanding problems of unplanned pregnancies, single parent families, racial discrimination, and welfare dependency. With all these contributing obstacles that build upon one another in mind, it may seem pointless to fix the educational issues, so why should society and the government still pursue this option?

In the Microsystem we discussed that many of the direct connections between the student and the teacher appear to be cold and strict. The stress of the No Child Left Behind Act caused teachers to force their students to pass standardized testing. Also, zero tolerance policies were causing teachers to use more of an authoritarian approach in classroom management. If they were not cooperative or well mannered at all times, they were punished. Enforcers of these policies and laws never took into consideration other emotional, biological or environmental factors that may be impacting the students negative behavior. Punishments were sometimes cruel and unnecessary: detention, and in/out of school

“The school districts with the highest minority enrollments receive an average of $877 less per student than school districts with the lowest number of minorities enrolled.” In turn, these children are able to go further with more resources readily available to them. However, children in less affluent school districts face serious educational shortcomings due to little investment in the beggared communities surrounding the school. It is more accurate to say that America has two systems of public education. The first system, based principally, but not entirely in the suburbs of America and in wealthier urban districts, is in many respects mediocre, specifically in comparison to international peers in advanced industrial nations. However, the second system, based principally in poorer urban and rural areas, is an absolute failure; in which an exceeding number of students dropout well before high school graduation. An astounding number of students receive high school diplomas that do not certify academic confidence in basic subjects. An outstanding number of students are unprepared for the world of employment. An incredible number of students are unprepared to matriculate to institutions of higher education or advanced training.

Many people subject to the influence of the society, especially little kids (regardless of skin color and race). Those kids have very low chance to graduate school with honors and go to elite college if they live in a criminal or poor neighborhood. Even if the child is smart and strive for learning his peers can prove him that street life is “cooler”. No doubt, the most of the kids would prefer rank themselves as a “cool” guy rather than nerdy. That was one of the reason that leads to poor academic outcomes. Another reason is lack of discipline inside of the family. Some psychologists say kids from different cultures are raised to connect differently with adults. White kids and Asian kids do what you ask them to do in order to get a good grade or because the authorities said to. However, for kids of color, particularly African-American kids, the concept of authority or respect to adults and teacher is very blurry. Some parents in poor neighborhoods work two shifts to provide better financial opportunity for their kids, but they forget to discipline their children. Some parents are giving a vivid example to their kids that government will take care about them by providing welfare so the education is not that important. Subsequently the child absorbing this behavior like a sponge and this will lead to lack of ambitions to pursuit higher education. I had a chance to teach kids in a high school in the Third World country where many families live beyond the poverty and it is very interesting to notice that students treat the teacher with the same respect as their parents. My students were trying to study as hard as they can because their parent discipline them and cared about their

Residential segregation plays a huge role into public school resegregation and more that 20 million students of color now attend racially and socioeconomically isolated public schools. The largest discrepancies in public school funding occurs because local cities delegated how property taxes fund schools. Education is most paid for with the amount of money available in surrounding districts therefore the inequity between wealthier and poorer schools continues to exist. The other problem that stems from how schooling is unequally funded it that often punishes poor white, black, and brown children for their inherited circumstances in life. The most nefarious of abuses to blacks occurs in public education as they are divested of the opportunity to be educated on their terms in ways that foster success, which begins with healthy racial identity development and positive affirmation that blackness

We are living in a illusion, where the public school system is working fine to our requirements.Over the years, millions of students are dropping out of public schools, and the number is still increasing at a rapid rate. Most parents still have the mindset that the public school system will provide plenty of opportunity for their children in the future. But in reality our public school system has done very little more than just babysit their children. The public school system has failed its students, especially in most black communities and other minority communities. Most public school students are in distress because the United States has a poor education system.The main reason the public school system has failed its students is because of lack of fund and qualify teachers.

The majority of students who attend public schools are minorities, which include Hispanics, African Americans, and Asian/Pacific Islanders to name a few. As public schools receive less and less funding each year, students end up either dropping out, or they begin engaging in illegal activities, such as gang violence and home invasion. Which then leads into the incarceration of minorities in federal prisons. With the huge disadvantage students of color have compared to private school students, it leads them to failure in class, and ultimately failure in the actions they take in life. As most government funding goes to the prison system they are
