What causes schools to fail at educating students ? Some may blame it on the lack of enthusiasm towards curriculum. Now a days school is literally just a place you have no choice to go to especially for younger students. Lastly, teachers do not teach for the love of teaching anymore, when students fall behind they are left behind in most cases. Over the years Chicago holds a 78% graduation rate, only proving that the system in fact allows some students to fall through.
The lack of enthusiasm towards the curriculum plays a very crucial role in how schools fail at educating students. Let’s begin with how well the teacher captures the attention of the students that she teaches. Most of the time teachers are in the class room physically but are absent mentally. Students may pick up on this vibe a feed off of that energy. This will eventually cause most students not to care about school and sooner than later drop out of school. Chicago’s drop out rate has in creased by 21% in the last 5 years only proving that the system fails at educating.
Sadly, schools are just places children, preteens, and teenagers have to go everyday. Most high school students nick names school “prison” only indicating that they are present by force. Don’t get me wrong there is a lot of positive things about not having a choice, but most student rebel when it comes to having to go to school. On the south side of Chicago school is considered a hang out spot. In most cases students will arrive to school and ditch every class and roam the hallways. The system fails at educating student by almost allowing the students to roam. There are procedures in place that are supposed to help but in most cases students still avoid the tactics. This only proves students only see school as a obligation over priority.
Final but not least, Teachers, educators, instructors what ever you’d like to call them just flat out do not teach for the love of teaching anymore. Over the years teachers suddenly lost the love for educating. In one case I actually heard a teacher tell the class she’s only there for a pay check you either get it or you don’t. That literally shock me to hear considering you are educating students to help shape their future. The impact that just those words will prove that the school fail at educating because they are only there for a pay check.
Wrapping this up, I say that the schools fail at educationg students by not having enough enthusiasm when it comes to the curriculum, students feel as though school is just a place they have to go, and teachers do not teach for the love of educating anymore.
