Do you believe the school system needs to be changed, what are some ways you can go about changing it?

Question

Well it occured to me today that the system really sucks. The teachers have a strick policy that they must follow and that interferes with the well-being of their students. I don't think i want my life dictated everyday by some ridiculous rules, if i dont feel well during a class period, it is against the "school rules" for me to put my head on the desk. I think that is ridiculous. If someone is not feeling well, its their grade and the teacher should care lesss, they are in no way disturbing the class....These rules are very stupid, in my opinion. Are they trying to raise a generation of robots? Kids who are sooo accustomed to following the rules when they are young,so when they get older they just have that instict to never break a rule. I for once, i love doing things that i want to do without any restriction, i thought in a country as USA you can have the freedom, but it seems little by little our freedom of free choice is being violated, they are putting camera's all over..etc

Answer 1

This sounds like a rebelion to me. I like it....

I was in class yesterday and I layed my head down. "Darr, get your head off your desk! No sleeping in class!!!" yelled my teacher (I was up to 3:00am, I can't ever fall asleep...). So then I start reading a book and she yells "Start paying attention and stop sleeping and reading!!! Do you wan't to fail my class?" she said (I get straight 'A's, and I'm in sixth grade and I took an IQ test and I scored 183 [It was for adults to] so my score would go 200+) Gosh I hate our school systems. Also we need to be able to get all our work in the morning, do it and then get to leave school beacause I can get that 7 hours of school done in 1 hour.




Edit: Also I am going to be a buissnes man when I grow up (Starting a video game compony). So I go to school hoping to be able to learn about buissness and guess what I had to sit through math class (99.99% of the stuff I never will use), Language Arts (Who cares if there is an I before E rule, THE# PC WILL FIX IT!!!!), Social Studies (Gettysburg, WHO CARES!!!!!!!), Science (I BREATH, WHO CARES HOW AND WHY!!!!!), Computer class was usefull though.

Little boxes on the hillside, Little boxes made of tickytacky
Little boxes on the hillside, little boxes all the same
There's a green one and a pink one and a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same.

And the people in the houses all went to the university
Where they were put in boxes and they came out all the same,
And there's doctors and there's lawyers, and business executives
And they're all made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same.

And they all play on the golf course and drink their martinis dry,
And they all have pretty children and the children go to school
And the children go to summer camp and then to the university
Where they are put in boxes and they come out all the same.

And the boys go into business and marry and raise a family
In boxes made of ticky tacky and they all look just the same.

OMG, that's a song from 1960. I guess their have been many generations of robots. And somehow, we haven't killed off humanity and actually made the world a little better with each new generation.

Answer 3

Not usa here, but I think more real world experience is needed in schools. More options and wider choices of experience and theoretical learning. All rules must be made with solid complete reasoning and not just an arbitary discipline. Students should be taught how to think, question, experience and prepare for their future without straitjacketing them into career possibilities too early.

Life skills, social skills, basic stuff that you only figure out when you're 25, just dealt with office politics/workshop politics, dealt with a few years debt or other hassle and found you needed some more useful **** dammit. Teach how to invest in yourself and enjoy the process also. Hell, teach comedy too-how to, just for extra fun. More play in serious study.

Answer 4

Definately. But following rules helps build character.

Don't take the rules too personally. It's hard to be a teacher, and someone resting their head might appear disrespectful or at least distracting to the other students.

If you think the rules in school are hard, wait until you're working. Better get it together in school!

Answer 5

Need a higher ratio of teachers to students.
Like maybe only 4 students per teacher instead of 30.
That is the #1 thing that would help. Rules have to be strict and rigid when there are so many kids that one adult has to control.
we give each teacher way too many kids.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Take it out of the hands of the goverment.
Until then anything other changes will do little if any good.

Answer 8

We need to get government out of the schools.
This isn't a Communist country.
