Answer 1

It is frightening. These people will be the future generation running the affairs of the world. We need change. Hang in there. Rememeber those who ridicule the "nerds" (studious learners) today will need to kiss their _ssess tomorrow for a job. Excell, you will be a leader some day. Do your best to encourage your peers. We can change the world by changing one person at a time. Lead the way! Bravo for your youthful wisdom and insight.

Answer 2

Speaking as a college professor with nearly 15 years teaching experience, I can honestly say that I've seen more and more people with this attitude over the years.

I think a large part of it has to do with being young and not seeing the bigger picture. After all, it's just school right? WRONG! Many with these attitudes towards their schooling will ultimately pay the price later on, and most will regret having behaved that way. School is preparation for life afterwards, and knowledge is just one part of it. Attitudes and professional behavior are also a part of it.

Those who display the proper attitude and take their work more seriously won't just perform better in terms of grades, but they'll also perform better in the workplace and in life because they have the right attitudes.

You certainly don't take this attitude with your work and succeed! That's what they need to realize when in school--success is taking things seriously and giving it your best!

Yes, I see that around me and even I have had a phase or two trucking along without a care if I were to pass or fail but I changed and then just started caring I wasn't one to skip school or anything but just didn't do homework and got by on the littlest work. I recommend the Strive program... if you can get this program it helps with everyone... I was even in it and got a $100.00 for joining and going to the once a month meetings.

The link below will show you me getting a $100.00 bill and certificate as well as a duffel bag for college newcomers.

P.S. I have changed since then and sorry this is the only pic I have of me getting it sorry it is my back-end.

Answer 4

Oh! I agree! There are so many kids and teens like that nowadays! I've met them. Some students have rich parents and they will inherit their property. I think it's wrong! If they don't get education, you won't even have the slightest wit on managing money, not to mention the family business! I just can imagine their demise! They don't look far enough, or perhaps they just don't care, have fun now, do work later, their motto. Who knows having fun first can lead to big things like abandoning their future for present pleasures.

Answer 6

ya i was a senior in high school last year and we rele didn't care about our grades and paying attention and stuff. I don't know why that is but we should have paid attention. Im a freshmen in college now and its even harder to pay attention with all the freedom u have.

Answer 7

I have seen this as well, but once it is all over & there are no more parties to go to & they have a dead end job, they will all wish they had taken advantage of the oportunity to get an education. Those people are also the ones whose parents never instilled to them self pride & never told them no. I could go on, but it's useless.

The Decline of Public Schools


Education reform has gone on for years, and experts have suggested many different solutions for the decline in the public education system. Test scores are declining and are much lower than in other countries. Illiteracy is rising. The number one suggestion for correcting this decline has been to increase funding. But if money was the answer, we should have seen a positive difference in the public schools. I believe the number one factor in the decline of academic achievement in our public schools is the lack of parental involvement. Parents need to be more involved in their children’s education both at school and at home.

One reason for this lack of involvement is the parents lack of time. Life gets really hectic and busy at times. Parents need to step back and think about what their priorities are, and realize that the time they spend with their kids and their educational development is the best investment they will ever make. If parents show they care, then the kids will feel that their education is important and has meaning.

Parental involvement can vary by a large degree based on the time that is available because of workload, because it is a single parent family, or because of many other activities. It is important, however, for parents to become involved and stay consistent, keeping open communication with what is going on in the school and in their children’s life. There are many ways parents can become involved, such as helping out with homework, reading stories with their children, asking how their day at school was, voting in school board elections, or getting involved in the PTA.

It doesn’t matter who the parents or families are, or what their educational background or economic status. They can still have a huge impact on their children’s educational development. This impact starts with open and active communication between the parents and school officials on the classes and programs that their child is involved in. Parents should also find out if the school has challenging standards for the students. For example, what skills should students have by 5th grade or 12th grade? What subjects do they cover? If the school does not have good standards, the parents, teachers, and principals should get together and talk about changes that need to be made. Parents should stay in touch with the school and teachers by telephone or by personal visits. They can’t afford to wait for the school to contact them. Parents should know the names of the teachers, counselors, and principals, and be able to talk to them about their children’s schooling and how they’re doing. Parents should find out how they can get more involved, volunteering to help out on a school planning committee, being a mentor for kids, or even helping out around the school.

Sometimes, trying to get involved with the school and classroom may be difficult since some teachers and administrators think of it as parents getting in the way and meddling. There are some administrators who think that once the children are in school, it is solely the school’s responsibility to educate them, and that parents should be limited to support programs. This is backwards thinking. It is only by having the cooperation and involvement of both the teachers and the parents that the kids will be able to excel and grow. It is the parents who are ultimately responsible for their children’s education, not the schools.

When parents and families get personally involved in education, children do better in school and grow up to be more successful in life. This sounds only obvious and seems like common sense, yet parental involvement is one of the most overlooked solutions in our public schools today. Parents today don’t seem to realize the importance of their involvement and the effect it has on their children’s learning. When parents teach their children the love of learning, it makes all the difference in the world.

I found this article and thought that it would help.

Answer 9

I understand what you mean, while I was in university, people just wouldn't care.. not study, not hand papers in in time. I think it has to do with procrastination and or lack of common sense.

Answer 10

It seems like they don't care about them future. Maybe school is uselss and you should self educate.
