Should Students Pass or Fail?
With cultures old and new. A question that’s been raised before many are should students pass or fail? Are they actually learning in school? In the article “To praise the F word” Mary Sherry answers her view on this issue. Some might say this is a family problem. That the parents have to make these kids understand the material given to them to take home and it’s not an issue for the school. From the image of a twenty-five year old, I will say that she is exactly on point with her opinion about school handing down diplomas like doughnuts.
I also feel there are more problems also. In the twenty fist century that the situation most kids find today. We have to handle the economy in the paraplegic status and the fact that states are ready to fire teachers. These same teachers who are willing to work even though they are heavily underpaid not supplied with the correct material. There is no motivation to teach when you feel that you will be walking the unemployment line any day of the week. An Outrageous amount of school, have kids graduating because they have outstanding attendance. In today inner city school getting passed high school is as easy as signing up and just showing up for class.
At least that what I’ve seen since I last attended high school in 2001 .That’s what I noticed when my brother and sister had their experience with school. I’ve known many of my friends graduate asking the same questions that Mary Sherry students would ask.”I don’t know how I did it but I graduated”. Those were the exact word spoken by one of my good friends the day we walked of stage.
One under rated skill is Physical Education training. This is not a bad skill but there is more to Physical training than running one mile and playing baseball in the sun. School should give classes on the importance of abstaining from drugs and eating healthy so they can carry it with them thought-out there lives. Today’s kids are on an unhealthy eating habit and the schools are not helping the matter. But it’s more than Physical Education that’s just a pebble in the lake compared to the other subjects that are being learned.
Teachers should actual stand up all get united and start turning are generations life around. Basic skills like reading and writing need to be enforced. More time should be given to theses area also .With some schools having six periods a day class is over before it begins. How would you get the attention of an adolescence to take history homework or reading homework serious?
I say it passed time to drop the hammer down on all schools nationwide and start failing the kids who really need to understand the materials to further their success in life. I hate to picture us setting them up for failure because they are the ones that will be running this county when we get older .If we don’t pass or fail in the real world are kids will be severely hurt because they were just pushed along the side also because of inability to act.
