One Hell of a System

Students often remark that school is boring. This remark could


be fueled by a laxidasical and truly inappropriate set of mandatory


credits, lack of interest towards subjects and an extremely boring


method to teaching.


        The main problem, Mandatory Credits, starts right at the top of


the ladder. Students are forced into classes they won't need and are


taught skills that will never be used. If a child is to become a


Mathematician why is he forced to sit through classes where a teacher


rambles on and breaks down a story that will never be picked up in life


again. Once this problem is figured out students will be more


interested and encouraged in classes they will need.


        The second problem, lack of interest, is fueled by the same


mandatory credits. Why should a student be forced into taking a class


where they will simply be caught "snoozing" due to lack of interest


that's forced upon them. By this time a student has given up and starts


to hate school in general.


        The third problem, drilling students, is found with the teachers


themselves. A student has to sit in class with his books open rewriting


the same words being said by the teachers. Why can't they make it


more hands on, keep the students into it? If teachers want results they


should work with the kids not at them.


        If these issues were looked at by all the rich people who sit in


chairs all day. Then and only then will you have grades rise and


children in schools. The challenge is theirs, get off your ass and do


something about it.
