I would have to disagree with John Gatto. I think that school is very important. There is so much you can't do without an education. Now a days you can't get any kind of job without some type of education. Most jobs you need to have major degrees to get. You even have to have graduated from high school. Having a GED now isn't enough anymore.
I understand that some kids get bored with school. That's fine, instead of saying there should be no school we should make it more interesting for kids at school. We should push them in what they do. Make them challenge themselves. We should have special programs not only for the students that need extra help but there should be a program for students that move at a faster pace then most of the students. If that means that we need more teachers than that is what we do.
Okay, so there were several people in the old days that didn't go to school and did very well for themselves. Well, it isn't the old days anymore. It's nothing lilke it used to be. Now it is very important to have an educatiion. Why things have changed so much, I don't know but they have. I'm sure that if we put our heads together we could come up with many ways to make school not so boring for some students. Because it isn't boring for everyone, just a few in each class. So, I have to say that it would be better to come up with new programs than to just not have school. I don't see how we could get away with not having school.
Agree with you Heather. When I lost my job back in February, just have the basics did make the cut. School is so important. I focused on BOREDOM of the classroom in Paper II "An Outstanding Teacher" stating that my teacher Mrs. Montgomery was able to take boredom out of the classroom. It takes a special kind of teacher to be able to do so. It takes cooperation from all ends, the teacher, student and parents.
ReplyDeleteYeah i agree, education is the most important thing now, you really can't get anywhere without college now.
ReplyDeleteI do agree with you. Education is very important for everyday life. If we didn't have education how would you function in society without being taught anything. I do agree children do get bored in class, but teachers can find ways to engage all sorts of children to keep them focused on the curriculum
ReplyDeleteI agree education is important that's why there are so many older students. I guess it took awhile to figure it out.
ReplyDeleteYou said it! Im with you on this.. Boredom is a HUGE factor in schools, and even Mcdonalds requires a diploma nowadays, we should TO WHAT IS IMPORTANT!
