Who is responsible for downfall of education

The performance of teachers needs to be judged on the basis of factors like their training, working conditions, and, above all, resource allocation by the government. In recent years, the Government of India has become increasingly interested in the relationship between the amount of resources devoted to education and student learning outcomes. Learning outcomes in government schools are compared to those of private schools to measure the quality of education. It shows that for the last five years, the quality of learning has deteriorated in government schools, while private schools do better both in terms of reading and arithmetic skill ASER Centre Some scholars have argued that teachers in private schools are performing better at improving the learning outcomes of children at much lower salaries Jain and Dholakia ; Milligan and Dhume ; Pritchett and Aiyer ; Muralidharan et al ; Ree et al ; Kingdon Furthermore, AWOL donated bags of cements, one ton iron rods and five bundles of zinc for the re-construction of the St.

Augustine Services Primary School. She said the donation came from the pockets of AWOL members and urged the authorities to use the materials for the intended purpose. He said, apart from that, Gondama played a motherly role in hosting refugees from Liberia and internally displaced persons during the warring years in both countries. Lisk, also reiterated that there is no regret in their choice of Gondama. However, you must know that government has loads on its table but limited resources.

Lisk urged parents and guardians to give their children the opportunity they did not have. In order for any youth to find a job they need their education and staying away from school cannot help that. There is punishment for every wrong action that a student may do, but keeping them away from school for a long period of time does not fix the situation because they end up missing work.

Some students do not take the full advantage of public education. Maybe because of the simple fact that it is free they feel as if they can fool around with it. According to Gatto, "We have been taught that is, schooled.

Basically Mary Sherry stated that the kids of today are getting cheated out of a good education. They are passing through the school system because some are good kids and they do not create any problems in the classroom.

But, at the same time employers are also being cheated because they expect graduates to have the basic skills. She also stated that Diplomas are considered meaningless because most of these kids who were awarded one could not read or write properly and therefore, they are back in night school along with adults who are trying to get their G. The popular argument that public education is a failure is not exactly erroneous. However, this failure is not because of our teachers; education systems are failing primarily due to the lack of parent participation.

Many parents in our society believe it is solely the teachers job to educate their child, but if there is to be any efficacious edification of our students, there has to be a partnership of both guardian and educator to produce it.

Parents commonly expect our teachers and schools to deal with the discipline of their children and to teach their children basic social and cognitive functions. Consequently, the time we spend effectively teaching skills such as the process of understanding and learning to these students has been condensed significantly. Not all students are guided towards success in education, it really reflects on the attitudes of primary literacy sponsors.

All students deserve educators who are invested in their success. Inequality based on academic merit translates to vocational students feeling a loss in identity, while college prep students have literacy sponsors propelling them to high achievements. The true reason is our schools succumbed to the false teachings of permanence in ability or the myth of genetics in ability.

This created much stagnancy in education and teacher education methods. Therefore, our education system has not just stagnated but has dwindled into one big social gathering for students with no respect, no protection, and much intolerance for students branded as somehow less than those 1 percent of more supported peers who are doing well.

We need to remove the myth of genetics and learn to see how our individual environments do greatly affect thinking, learning, motivation, and yes, also our mental health. We must redefine our average stress as many maintained layers of mental work from many past, present, future — experiences, circumstances, needs, along with different weights and values given to us from an early age which may act as magnets for other accumulating layers of mental work.

Try to visualize an upright rectangle, representing our full mental energy. Then begin at the bottom, drawing in narrowly spaced, horizontal lines to show many innumerable layers of mental work. This shows us how our individual environments, not genetics, greatly affect thinking, learning, motivation, and mental health. We cannot simply relax or use meditation to lower those layers. Those layers are made up of real mental work.

When we relax or use meditation, we are only temporarily turning off our mental faucet to those layers. When we attempt a new mental work, our minds turn that faucet back on so those layers are simply recharged. We can however, all, slowly begin to understand the elements of our lives, past and present, which are creating those layers.

We can then slowly begin to understand, resolve, and make little changes in some weights or values to more permanently reduce layers to continually improve and change our lives. This is very important, for it releases students and adults from the terrible myth of genetic permanence being taught in our schools today. We must also, contrary to the myth of genetics remove the myth of simply hard work and understand the proper dynamics of approach newer mental work more slowly, allowing mental frames in an area to develop, creating increased pace and intensity with equal and more enjoyment of learning over time.

If the students come for help, the teacher refuses to explain, instead saying that they should already know this information. I included five points that I found to be […]. Summer is the time where bright minds look towards internships at STEM oriented research facilities and companies. Many students are already wasting their time at school learning things that have no relevance to their future and life-long goals.

I for one, am planning on Aerospace Engineering. If I was to have to give up my precious summers to study a required humanities course, boy would I be pissed. Our national and state leaders had already given away the store by failing to view education of its youth as a strategic national security investment to meet the […]. Eye-opening insights. Definitely, the education system needs re-engineering.

A lot of innovations are happening across the industries, however, nothing disruptive has taken place in the education system and teaching methodologies. I notice there is a great deal of blame. We are a nation of the blame game. We are a nation of victims.

When do we become a nation that leads by taking responsibility? What I do not see is anyone taking responsibility. I am part of the baby boomer generation. This mess was caused by the baby boomer generation. We passed laws that contradict the primary definition of a disease by naming addictions as diseases. We pass laws that excuse the behavior. Lawyers win cases that allow excuses for behavior. We passed laws that give the students power over the classroom.

We tied the hands of teachers and administrators. We did away with holding children responsible for personal choices. We pass laws that require that teachers and counselors fix kids. We taught our children and their children they were victims.

The first step to changing the depleting educational system is to take responsibility ourselves. We need to participate in our democracy by voting. We need to teach our kids accountable for their actions first then work to change behavior, not the other way around. We taught special education kids they can be exempted form assignments if they cry wolf enough. We raised groups of kids over others because of physical skills or looks. We allowed racial discrimination on national TV. We allowed channel that exploits racial discrimination.

We allowed the deviant behavior to craw into the school system little by little. When our child was caught, we taught our child to blame the other guy or find an excuse for his or her behavior. While technology is a great thing and can do many things, it cannot replace the good common sense of personal responsibility. Stop blaming and get out there and do. Create and VOTE to make change. Great article! I particularly like the point of technology is aiding cheating in students.

Cheating here can be of various kinds. Students are cheating themselves out of reading good books, thinking that Google can provide answers to everything. Less curiosity will lead to average minds. It is an abomination that we still force children into this horrible horrible model for them AND our teachers. We need to kill the prison model of education—dead. It is nothing less than a total abomination.

The new model, happening in some places already, is the hybrid model, open campus model. Schools are open from 8-whenever, students can come and go as needed. Their parents have total flexibility. They go work on line when mom is off work and wants the kids home with her. They are in the world, in their community.

Most importantly, the creepy, weird way we have of cutting our children off from the real world ENDS. Suddenly for biology, they are going in the field with an actual biologist. They are interviewing a member of their city council for social studies class, they are attending a public hearing.

There are flexible courses they attend all through the day, field trips, they can work at home. They MOVE. They are in the community, contributing to it. They are interested, stimulated. It is nothing less than cruelty to our children.

We treat them like dogs. But too many parents choose public school. Public school education in the United States has its downsides.
