goal of education is no longer to help students learn but to teach them what they need to know to pass the test. As a young student, I loved going to school and I thought my teachers were amazing. I enjoyed learning new information and I loved going to school. Later in my education, I realized that curriculum has changed over time, and not for the best. In the past, teachers taught with enthusiasm and with creativity. Lessons were new and exciting for students; now, the creativity is gone and lessons
reasons why homework should be limited. Some say that it is better for students because they will learn to manage their time. Others believe that they amount of homework given causes too much stress, which leads to students giving up. Three reasons why homework should be limited to a smaller amount is first, after school activities as well as jobs and church can get in the way. Second teachers will have more time to themselves instead of being stuck and grading papers and third students will have
to make their teachers and schools better. Currently, they use standardized test scores from the students to see how well the teacher teaches the subject and observations made by other administrators. There is enough information for the administrators to see the progress of the teacher, but if students tell their point of view about how the teachers teach and their opinion on the teacher administrators will have a little more information. They need more evidence that their teachers are teaching and
schools students have low grades and other issues. One of those issues is that they don’t have enough motivation to learn and do their work. Their attendance is poor, they miss a great portion and that doesn’t allow them to learn what needs to be learned. Some schools have a low ranking and a low percentage of student success. In order to fix the issue, some schools have created a program called money for grades. The program is about the school paying their students for earning excellent grades. However
Ask a student to take a standardized test and they will probably groan. For any student who has gone through the American school system, they will have taken over 100 tests by the time they graduate (Strauss). Not only have they spent hours actually doing the tests, but have spent hundreds of more hours studying for these tests. Students begin taking standardized tests as early as third grade and usually take one or more a year. Standardized tests, such as the ACT, SAT, or even PACT, have gained
There should be no AR points required for a grade. AR goals are one of those things that no student, teacher, or parent want to go through. Students never put the work in to get these goals and it makes no sense why the teachers still enforce it for a grade. For that matter, AR points are a waste of time for kids at school. People at school don’t use the time given for reading properly, wasting most of it. Why give the time to read and get those points if no one is willing to do it. No one
Students take up to 112 standardized tests preschool to 12th grade. Students take too many standardized tests. People might think that students don’t take a lot of standardized tests but they do. I think that the government should change these tests. This essay is going to explain to the reader that the government should change standardized test because (1) students take too many of them,(2) they put stress on teachers, and(3) it takes up too much learning time. First, I’m going to explain to
Grade inflation is present at BCCC even though it hasn’t happened to me yet, but even though it is a problem it still gives students the opportunity to redeem themselves. When I say redeem themselves, I’m stating that while they are getting these extra points, they are learning and developing their skills to make them a better student. I am a 2nd-semester student at BCCC and I am concerned about whether or not it is helping the students or causing them to not prevail. Being a high school student
received a grade that did not reflect to how much work you put into the class? This is a struggle for some students. Grades determine if students can pass on to the next grade level and where one student is compared to the class. A student should not be measure how intelligent he or she is because he or she made a bad grade. That student could have multiple reasons why he or she did not do well on the test or in the class. A grade that a student receives may not reflect him or her and should not define
taken away. I was writing for a grade — I was no longer exploring for me. I want to get that back. Will I ever get that back?” — Claire, a student (in Olson, 2006) For those interested in improving the education system, say goodbye to letter grades and hello to success. Using letter grades is beginning to diminish student’s interest and enjoyment when going to school. Students have began to realize that they are only learning for the grade, only writing for the grade- not for ones self. The school
