The Importance Of Student Education

Students feel as though schools try to contain them and that they are not able to be themselves. They are forced to sit in a chair for a certain amount of time and to quietly complete assignments. The thought of this recurring activity results in students caring less about school, which eventually makes their grades decrease. By shortening the school days, students wouldn’t be as distressed about going to school and their grades would be higher. Fewer school hours per day would permit students to have enough time to study, complete school assignments, participate in after-school activities and be able to get to bed by a decent hour.” Rachel D, Teen Talk student writer.

Many students across the nation are attending schools that have seven classes during each school day as their schedule, one of them being Conroe High School. But behind the scenes, students are not exactly satisfied with these conditions, but they are forced to accept this brutal schedule as part of their everyday lives. That is why Conroe High School’s principal, Dr. Weatherly, should change the school’s schedule to have less, but longer, classes in a single day to create a less stressful environment for the students’ and teachers’ benefit.

In the modern world, parents are left with deciding whether their children should attend a year-round school or a school with a more traditional schedule. These issues may not seem that important, but they affect students’ and the communities they grow up in. Aspects against this issue say they cause lost opportunities due to not being able to work, higher school cost, decrease participation, and make it hard on family life.

Throughout the history of public schooling, there have been ongoing debates concerning whether schools should concentrate towards allowing students to pursue their own interests and maintain their individuality for the betterment of the student or encourage students to conform so that they can better socialize among their peers and provide aid to society. Often times this issue is expressed through school related conflicts and controversies such as the typical school day structure. However, in regards to routine of the school day, this topic is yet another reason why public schools should encourage non-conformist attitudes and values.

Long has the topic of longer school days been a controversial debate among parents, teachers, and students. In recent years, discussions about the length of school days have influenced states and school districts to change the amount of time students spend at school. The question becomes whether longer school days can help improve the academic performance of students. There are different views on the length of school days when it comes to student performance. The people who advocate longer school days are debating on what they believe is of greater interest to students. Proponents to longer school days believe that they are debating in the greater interest of students as well.

The literature presented is in almost unanimous agreement that later daily school start times lead to improved academic achievement in adolescents, with the greatest improvement as start times move from around 7:00 am to after 8:00 am, with diminishing marginal improvements afterwards. Students assigned to a first period class at the USAFA earned worse grades in both their first period classes and classes throughout the day than their peers who were not assigned to a first period class(Carrell 79). This negative effect was most apparent when the first period starting time was 7:00 am, but was still present after a policy changed the starting time of the first period to 7:50 am. Likewise, middle school students in the Wake County Public School System who began their day between 8:00-8:45 am had 2% higher scores on both standardized mathematics and reading exams than students whose

There are currently 21 states that feature schools that are actively operating on a four-day system. This has been a common trend that has steadily increased over the past two decades (Lake 1). Any child’s first reaction to the proposal of a four-day week would be overjoyed. To make these children's dreams come true, school systems must consider the advantages and disadvantages of a four-day school week. It’s not just about the students, but also about the school faculty, school administration, and parents. Of course, with every advantage there is also a disadvantage, but this is a positive essay full of positive points. Colby High School should change to a four-day school week because students will

Teens greatly dislike the idea of a year long school schedule, but parents are ecstatic with the idea. Teens believe it is a punishment, a plan concocted by adults to keep them from having “fun” or a “social life”. While on the other hand, adults believe students need it to keep from falling behind. Adults have good intentions, but they seem to be lost in translation, so to speak, when they communicate the idea to teens. Although, most students resent the idea, schools should have a year-long schedule because it gives the students shorter, more frequent breaks, and minimizes the gap during the summer, thus keeping the knowledge students have acquired during the school year being forgotten during a three month break.

The vital importance of how education works in our country needs to be centered around the best interest of the students. The more the curriculum is designed towards the close relationship to the individual student, the better the child will receive information and preform. The education in the United States is continuing to decline, and the only way for it to improve is if a drastic change is made. What change is needed? Well, if there are other countries that are excelling, then taking a look at the structure of their education system can help our country mold a new style of knowledge development.

The University of Nebraska at Kearney is a public university that offers a wide variety of degrees. While the university does offer classes both online and on campus, the primary focus will be on the classroom setting. Currently, UNK has an enrollment of over 6,000 students (2017). With so many current students, different experiences are a common part of the college education involvement. The University of Nebraska at Kearney is home to fifty buildings on campus (2017). The classrooms located in West Center will be further discussed for the physical atmospheric service setting.

In school I have always been a relatively successful student, and I was always considered one of the smarter kids by my parents and a lot of the other students. In about sixth grade when they started to split the grade up into certain classes for the “advanced” kids and the kids that weren’t considered advanced. I was in the classes with all the kids that weren’t considered advanced. At the time though, I didn’t realize what they were doing or that I wasn’t actually considered a smart kid by the school, I just knew all my friends were in classes I wasn’t in, and it really upset me. I got put in the classes with a bunch of kids I didn’t like, or just people I didn’t know, and had never seen before. I still had the bus where I got to see a few of my friends, but other than that, they just weren’t around.

Creating a pleasurable environment for students to learn proves essential- they need to be relaxed and less stressed. Most  student can’t  work under pressure so making them go to school earlier and leave earlier will create balance within their life. To have a less stressful environment student should have school all year.Not only will they remember the information throughout the years they have more frequent breaks. Also, students education should be a perfect balance between academic skills and life skills, this will force students understand how the real world works. However in Outliers, by Gladwell he studies a child who’s in the KIPP program. They believe to be good at school the students need more of it. Which is incorrect no one should put children under that amount of stress. Although schools try  their best to offer the best possible education to a student, it can definitely be improved by making sure the student’s feel as if though their education has a purpose.

While schools work on improving students' academic achievement, curriculum, instructional strategies, and interventions for struggling learners’, obstacles still remain for some students in the behavior category. About one-third of students fail to learn because of behavioral issues that interfere with their capacity to pay attention and participate in educational instruction

Since the dawn of the comprehensive American high school, debate has raged over the most effective way to structure or schedule the school year. The schedule of a school can have a major impact on a wide range of areas including student choice and academic performance. When considering this, it is somewhat unusual that the majority of today 's modern American high schools adhere to a semester schedule that dates back to the early 19th century. Some experts believe the school calendar came about as a result of our agricultural past, when youth were required to work on family farms and attend school as well. The agrarian calendar1 consisted of a short winter term and a short summer term, resulting in two distinct breaks from school when kids living in rural, agricultural areas were needed for the harvest, which helps to explain the origins of the semester system. For the past two centuries the American school system has continued to follow this model and many educators continue to believe in it 's value. However, these vestigial connections that continue to link modern schools to this archaic structure no longer hold the merit they once did. Students attending school now, in the 21st century, have different needs and expectations placed upon them. While owners of industry in the early 1800 's needed a cooperative, obedient workforce; business owners of today require technologically savvy individuals who are not afraid to innovate and push the envelope. Why then, are our
