The education system in America is not up to standards with that of other well established successful countries because Americans are not as structured as the students in other countries. American students are usually pampered in a way by their educators while the teachers and professors of other countries are stricter with their students so they always do what they have to do to succeed. In most Asian countries the students are very diligent and are always doing work advance their knowledge and studying to be better in different subject areas. American kids are mostly lazy and don’t really take time to do their work because they have so many distractions and are rushing to do something else and in America the students study more before a test or exam because they want to pass. Children of other countries with more advanced educational systems most likely study every night to make sure they understood the instructor’s lesson from the day and also because they will be able to remember what they learned better. In other countries students are probably not as free as American students on school nights. In America some students end school in the early or mid afternoon but do not reach their homes until early evening or night and by this time they are usually to worn out from the day to complete all or even some of their homework. Once an assignment is missed most students that slack off don’t even attempt to make it up and receive the credit they lost for not doing it in the first place. Children of other nations probably return home immediately after school so they have more time to complete their assignments, study or get ahead of other students. One of the biggest problems with some American students is not speaking up or receiving extra help when the teacher goes over something that they don’t understand, without informing the teacher they never receive the help they need to be on the path to success. Many children in all parts of the world may also have this problem and no one should be afraid to ask for help when they need it, understanding is the key to learning. If the kids in America tried to educate themselves as much as the children in other countries do the maybe one day we could be on the same level as some of the most intelligent people in the world but until then American kids need to try to put their best foot forward when it comes to learning and stop taking advantage of the opportunities they have.
ReplyDeleteAmerica is so far behind because of who they hire as teachers. Most teachers in united states don't care about their students at all. I have heard teachers say numerous times that they don't care if students don't want to listen, and at the end of the day they are the ones getting paid. You see most people say its the students fault but if there is a teacher who can actually teach and make it fun then students would want to learn. Now in some cases there are actually students who don't care about anything and just wont come at all. There are teachers that just come in and do nothing.But we cant just blame teachers, students play the major role in this system. American children are too influenced with video games, drugs, television and just fitting into a crowd that they begin to loose interest in school.
ReplyDeleteThis problem can be fixed by hiring teachers that want to teach and not those who just have a degree. Teachers that actually care if students want a lesson. National Education Commission on Time and Learning found that most American students spend less than half their day actually studying academic subjects do you know what that is? students spend more time in their day doing worthless things that wont profit them anything. We just need to have a stronger student teacher relationship. I dont know how or when its going to happen but these school systems and educational teaching just needs to get better. The students and teacher relation ship is pathetic, there are seldom teachers who bond with students, and those teachers that do are the ones that students often get the highest grade for. Not because of the kindness of the teacher but because of the respect and friendship the student has with the teacher. Those are the kind of teachers we need, and those are the teachers we should get. There are teachers who can teach but lack the drive and the motion to get students involved and interested in the lesson. Thats why students dont go to school. "School is boring" is the excuse used for not going to school. Americas education is failing because of the realtionship between students and teachers.
