If I had to agree, or disagree with our principals decision to make every child, in our school, take an extra-curricular class I would strongly disagree. First of all, some kids have problems with not doing just a little homework from our main courses, so adding on extra work will possibly make their grades worse. Second of all, they might have to take care of their siblings or loved ones, while the parent or guardian is away. Lastly, the older-classmen might have to work after afternoon shift and not have time for extra-curricular activities. Those are just some of the reasons I strongly disagree. First of all, some kids really have problems with not doing just a little homework for their main courses, so adding extra courses on them may just drop their grade. The special education kids won’t be able to handle all that extra hard work. The kids who may be able to handle the extra work, usually, can’t handle it, and fails it. Think about those kinds who play football and other sports, most of them are failing at least one of their classes because they don’t have time to do the homework at practice. Making a decision like this takes a lot of figuring up. Second of all, they might have family and/or financial issues, so they might have to take care of their siblings or loved ones, while the parent or guardian …show more content…
They may work from after-school till one in the morning, and once they get home they are way too tired to do homework, and need sleep for the next day. If they do get home and realize they have three pages of homework and they do it, then, they get done at five just an hour before the bus arrives. They won’t have time to sleep, what so ever. If they get no sleep for the next day they will be tired, and cranky, and just might fall asleep in class. So, its maybe best to at least just give those students one page of homework a
Also, Students don’t want to wake up and finish homework in the morning. If teachers give students less homework they will not have to do that and be late for school. Students sometimes wake up late and are in a rush while also knowing
Would you try harder at school if you got paid? At our school, we should get paid because it would make kids stay in school, get good grades, and go to college.
Can you picture students taking Music, art, drama classes and all of the classes that they are required to take? These classes should be set for electives. The students should be able to select the classes they want to have. It also can take the fun out of making your schedule and being excited for the classes you want to part take in it just takes the fun of it. Students should not be required to take classes in the arts Because it can take up space where you can use for more valuable classes and it can make them feel more pressured in their school work, also it can take the fun out of the school experience. Having to take classes in the arts can take up space for the classes that you need to have in order to move on. For example this year I am not in any fun classes because I
For the past few years in America, the people have seen how much education has decreased in the country. The people are not educated well enough in a specific subject, and that is the biggest problem in society. Students go to school five days a week, and they take some classes that honestly are not needed nor will be needed in the future. If someone wants to be a Psychiatrist, why do students need to know what X is in an Algebra 2 problem? Students should take the classes and courses needed to pursue the students wanted career and not just a class to take up their time and effort.
We can’t base standards off of students as a whole, but rather, we need to look towards an individualistic way of dealing with the issue. Students should choose their own classes and decide what they want to do with their life. Taking classes the individual chooses that actually means something to them is important because when you love something it is easier to try hard and succeed.
Many kids have to wake up at 6 or 7 o’clock everyday just to get up to go to school. By the time they get there, some are still half asleep when they get to class. Others might fall asleep later in the day. Some kids are late to school because they overslept. Is there a way to solve this problem? Yes, schools should start later in the day.
Sharing ideas and beliefs, free from consequences, is one of the most essential forms of freedom. Taking charge of individual beliefs and having the courage to share and support them is liberation at its best. From Common Sense by Thomas Paine to Silent Spring by Rachel Carson, words, and their resulting messages, have immense power to influence viewpoints and ideals, ultimately sparking change. However, words, and punctuation, come with risk; if the words and punctuation employed fail to clearly and concisely express the message, the message loses all meaning. Therefore, not only is the message behind the words important, but also the way in which the message is articulated.
It is dawn in the Ugandan village. Bali awakens to the sound of her little brother stirring in his sleep. She gets up and coos in his ear little sounds of endearment hoping to lull him back into a placid slumber. Fortunately she is successful and her little brother continues his rhythmic snores, but Bali does not get to continue resting. She must collect water, stone and wood; she must prepare clean dishes and clothes. She must pound cassava root and collect fish; she must prepare food for her family. By the time she finishes, it is 3:30 in the afternoon and she is enervated. Her juvenile stature is much too frail for the amount of work expected of her, but it must be done. Though Bali is six years old and should be attending primary school, she can not because she has to survive. Not many children, especially in developing countries, have the opportunity to go to school. However just because the children are immersed with chores, does not mean it is morally correct to neglect their right to education. Limited
Every child is different. Some are fast learners, some are slower, and some are in between. Not everyone learns the same or at the same pace. It could take one child several different times to get the result that another got in five seconds. Does it make sense to have these children in the same class or group? If the teacher goes too fast, one child could miss out. If she goes too slowly, that is taking away learning time from a different student. Furthermore, students who drop out of school early are seen as stupid. That is not always true and they were actually better suited doing another thing, but couldn’t handle school. I believe it is time to change the U.S.’s school system because I think it would have benefited me to have been split up into groups based on learning differences and, in older grades, only have students who were committed to school rather than everybody being in school.
Let's pretend that there is a kid, this kid has all A's and one C and wants to at least get honor roll. The kid wants to do some extra credit work to bring up his grade but he or she is forced to do an extracurricular activity, therefore is to busy to do his or her extracurricular activity. This a great example of why students shouldn't be forced to do an extracurricular activity. I believe that students should be able to choose what they wish to do in school. A half surprising amount of high school students get straight A’s. What if a student has a poor grade or what if a student just doesn't want to do an extracurricular activity. Another reason is what if a student is too busy. Those are just a few reasons why we should be able to choose to do an extracurricular activity.
Don’t you ever think that parents are pushing their kids to much on school or trying to achieve. Do you let your kids have fun and do there work for school or do you let your kids do whatever they want or you discipline you kids to much . should kids have more time on there hands or should be busy 24/7 with homework, projects?
I believe that school should be more flexible, and lenient. Most of the times people end up failing classes, because of the lack of attention span, and the restlessness of the body. Most adolescent kids like to play outside and are full of nervous energy. If we are allowed more time outside, or more time during the passing periods we are easily able to understand what we are given. Many schools utilize this knowledge in elementary school while giving a lot of recess times to the young kids. While core classes are heading towards the end of the day kids grades get worse, by not being able to focus on their work. Most of the time kids have to brood about extracurricular activities, and all the work is getting piled upon us.
Teachers state that they need to assign homework as a comprehension test to ensure that the student does indeed retain the information learned. However, with a school that sponsors eight or more classes per day, students can get quite the heavy workload in the end of the day. Especially if those students have to maintain a job with the classes they’re taking such as, College sponsored, or even extracurricular. Due to the schools hours that they operate within, if the student were to have a job, they would be limited to night shift alone during the schooldays. Teachers would normally assume about an hour to complete a homework assignment, yet if that student has
“Education, therefore, is a process of living and not a preparation for future living.” This was said by a man named John Dewey. Which is very true; today kids aren't quite as prepared to enter the “real world” as they should be. The way this problem can be changed is by adding a class that is required for juniors and/or seniors that will help their adjustment to becoming an adult less challenging.
Notably, school requires classes that need to be complete in order to fulfill the general education standards. While I think some classes such as English and math are essential, I do not think classes that are deemed useful in the future are necessary. From personal experience, a required course that I needed to take for high school graduation was Algebra 2. However, I’m aware that other schools does not Algebra 2 and plus it can be taken in college. In addition, it is unlikely that someone is going to use any form of algebra in his or her life unless they have a profession that incorporates it such as being a scientist or an engineer. Another course that can be said for the same reason are foreign language class. In some states, such as California, a foreign language like Spanish would be useful since a significant of the population speaks it. In all honesty, I think that foreign language classes should be optional rather than mandatory.
