The U.S. Educational System Fails for These 7 Reasons!
A video was just posted on Facebook—actually, it was today—that described basic questions addressed to university students on BASIC social and historical facts, events, and the figures in charge of our nation. The outcomes were, to put it mildly, amazing! Abject failure and the inability to name or place ANY of the individuals, locations, or events. I’ll say it again: NONE.
The formal education system in the United States was created to address the needs of the industrial revolution by giving everyone access to a fundamental education. Isn’t that very easy? Why then do we ignore or refuse to accept that the needs of today are different? The educational system has not since undergone a calculable redefinition or development. This is troubling because it will gradually and incrementally characterize the collapse of our nation, until we are reduced to a social collection of ignorance.
Let’s look at the causes and remedies.
1. No longer in operation!
Schools’ continued operation is constrained by societal norms and budgetary constraints depending on societal support—or lack thereof. As a result, schools are shutting at a startlingly rapid rate around the nation. Rarely does the decision to shut a school take into account community needs or, more crucially, student needs!
The economic requirements of the school’s location or the available resources appear to be more important than the needs of the community’s children’s education. When this occurs, where is the federal government? Well, they do bear some of the guilt. While urging school systems to follow particular federal regulations that restrict the school administration’s ability to act politically, the government stresses the need of accessible, high-quality education while also demanding that these regulations be followed. So much for government assistance.
2. A one-gallon jug that holds two gallons of milk!
How many students can you fit in a classroom and still impart knowledge? Whether you want to be a childcare facility or a teacher for the kids will determine your answer. I know, that seems harsh, but consider how modern schools operate. them roughly 6-7 hours every day, they take your kids and provide them their housing and food.mainly by giving them the fundamental training and nourishment that they seldom ever receive at home! Oh, administer it. In a crowded setting where safety is no longer assured and education takes a backseat to meeting the fundamental requirements that parents are unwilling, illiterate to, or incapable to meet, teachers are compelled to punish your children. What about education, though? Because there isn’t much time left, caring for them comes before teaching them.
Secondarily, in order to get the kids to maturity within the confines of federally required rules, they are educated in a cookie-cutter standard of personality-limiting, creative-minimizing, and individually-restrictive processes. Children who receive basic education and perform in line with those criteria are in line with the needs of everyone else. Sad because it takes place in packed classrooms where educators are compelled to “teach” more kids than they can possibly handle. How successful is that?
3. If you act in the same way you always have, you will receive the same results!
How can we expect our kids to succeed if our parents just have a high school diploma? One must realize that this cycle of bad education will result in more uneducated kids, who will then have more uneducated kids, and so on. Due to the current bad economy or lack of opportunities, parents are so busy trying to make a living that they hardly have time to care for their children’s education at home, let alone at school.Participation is also essential since parents who have only a high school diploma lack the wisdom and experience necessary to steer a young person in the proper direction. The end consequence is an ongoing system that fails pupils and jeopardizes the future of our nation. It makes no difference whether you are well-off and struggle to maintain a profession that doesn’t allow you time to care for your children at home or impoverished and suffering to make a livelihood that doesn’t allow you time to educate your children at home. The education loses in either case.
4. Once Said, Never Reversed!
Someone once called me a moron. I was informed that I would never be able to learn anything because I lacked the fundamental understanding and comprehension skills required of someone of my social standing. Can you picture it? Well, I’m currently working on a PhD in teaching. I’m well-educated, possess a number of degrees, and have received formal recognition for my effectiveness as a teacher. So take that, then!
A youngster must understand their own worth and value as an individual if they are to be challenged. Every child has some ability or gift, and they should all get regular and prompt praise for it. Yes, failure does occur, but it also serves as a lesson. Platforms and programs for individualized learning are essential to the advancement and future of academic performance. Instead of being open to ALL children, the talented and gifted programs demand that a child be acknowledged and progressed due to their unique skill.If given the chance to allow it to manifest itself, I think EVERY kid has the potential to show their ability. Why restrict other kids’ chances to succeed just because someone didn’t see their abilities? beyond my comprehension.
Personal biases, as well as the subtleties of social conformity and financial accessibility in a school district, are the main causes of this lack of variety in basic education. It’s disheartening that not every student has the same chance to be acknowledged for their ineluctable contribution to society.
5. There Is a Preparation Step!
According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics and the US Department of Education, student graduation rates are at an all-time high, with 80% of high school students graduating. Doesn’t this sound fantastic? No, it doesn’t, as 80% of high school grads are unable to pass basic competence tests or read at an elementary level. Their capacity to read and comprehend is the essential and core foundation for a bright future, yet it is failing badly. We are passing kids without bias due to a politically correct attitude and an unwillingness to acknowledge our shortcomings. What is the current dynamic? Money, recognition, norms, and societal restraints?
What will their future be like if less than 40% of graduating kids can do basic reading and math skills? Poor at best because they are predisposed to failure and lack the education to recognize it. Without the fundamental abilities to learn, they are unprepared for any aspect of life, let alone future schooling. It seems to be a step toward socialism.
6. A preacher who is a teacher!
There aren’t many people prepared to give up their future for low-paying academic employment, thus there aren’t many options for highly educated instructors. come the instructors. Both teacher innovation education and student education must be supported by technology as it advances. Teachers, whose profession was formerly prestigious, are choosing more industrial occupations employing their fundamental educational accomplishments because they pay more and are less constrained. When there aren’t enough qualified teachers, students won’t receive a high-quality education. The academic shift in identifying and deploying skilled instructors who must pass higher-level requirements in order to be permitted to teach is necessary due to the cultural shift in schools.
Unfortunately, distant learning removes individualism from the process and personalization from the practice, allowing less-educated teachers to carry out office-like academics rather than teaching-like activities. Low-standard instructors who generate low-standard pupils will continue the cycle of low standards in education. We will develop educated people of high caliber if we pay teachers well and expect more of them. When professional athletes make millions but instructors receive nothing, something is off. It’s time to reconsider this.
7. Boys Will Be Boys and Girls Will Be Girls!
Maybe they won’t? There is a significant gender gap in today’s student population across the country. According to recent studies on student diversity in education, the STEM program is seeing a declining spectrum of student diversity. Academic and professional fields that were formerly dominated by male students are shifting to include more female students. In the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math, women are now capable of performing on par with or even better than their male colleagues. This capacity has always existed in women, but it has gone unappreciated or unacknowledged.
The right to opportunity must be upheld in a market that is internationally competitive, regardless of gender, race, creed, or social position, by equal and competent persons. No matter what, we must grow our academically oriented future with better educated individuals as we grow our more diversified community.
