Does responsibility for a good education lie with the "system" or the parents?

Question

My belief that exemplary examples are created by the parents, that, if education, learning, and reading are important, and demonstrated as such by the parents, a child will follow in kind.

Answer 1

as a teacher and a parent I can tell you that 99% of "good" students come from families that promote and support their child's education!!!!

Answer 2

It Lies with Both. We the Parent should do everything in our power to give our Children the "know "that we will back them 100% But, let them know also,that we will be supporting that Teacher 100% . Because, it takes both working together.
As we all know our children are not perfect, before we jump the teacher have real facts. My own children have tried to blame the teacher when it wasn't the teacher, Once a child convinces you ,and you in turn , turn on the teacher, that child in return will have lost their respect, and usually does nothing the rest of the school year. There is a fine thin line.Because there is such things as bad teachers. Find the truth, if you have to sit in your child class room every day, Yes, the parent and teacher do have to work to together for the best of our Children.

Answer 3

There is nothing the teacher can do in the classroom that is sufficient to make up for what the parent(s) will not or can not do at home. That said, when a single parent is working two jobs to SUPPORT that child, it's kind of hard to fault that parent for not having much time and energy left over to actually RAISE the child. And consider how we revile those parents who choose to NOT support their children so that they actually have time to RAISE them. If we truly value education and sincerely want an educated populace, then we have to take a much more nuanced approach than "It's the teacher's union, no it's the parents, no it's vouchers, no it's the social workers" and so on. It's a lot of things, some of which are barely tangental to schools.

Answer 4

This responsibility should lie with the parents but that right is being slowly eroded by the system. See teachers need students for jobs. We have done our part by not supplying our children to the system. This is why home schooling is on the rise. The "system" sucks. Prime example= California, the richest state in the union. Half it's budget goes to education but yet it ranks as one of the lowest in all the states. Throwing money at the problem and hiring idiots as educators doe snot fix the system. Home school your kids or put them into private schools. You get what you pay for.

Answer 5

Both but when both parents have to work due to inflation and the result of all this Government Spending, Taxes on everything, it leads to the Television raising our children. This combined with the effects of our trade policy that exports manufacturing jobs( Lower class trip to middle class) at such an exorbitant rate, and the effects of 12-20 million illegals competing in lower paying jobs and construction it lead to a wage suppresion.

Our schools are overburdened, healthcare is, Social Security, most importantly our homes are overburdened.

The price of empire is too high.

Answer 6

These days, parents that have the newer responsibility to cope with a society that educates the children TO lie.

If you care about your children
and want them to succeed
it is a greater challenge to really reach them
in why it is important to try to be more honest
than is routinely expected of them in this world. (You can still call it 'Bush' world, if you like I guess.) If in fact you even do believe much in honesty. And one must have a sense maybe, to think of where a persons sense of honesty comes from anyway.

That's the 'system'.
The 'system' is mostly no more than the accumulation of what happens as a result of inattention. Sometimes willful and maliciously ignorant inattention.

Answer 7

Total and complete responsibility for every aspect of a child lies with the parents. The system has proven to be sub-par so any parent who would put any inkling of faith in the system to give their child a good education is negligent in my opinion. Even a private school education requires heavy input from one or both parents for the child to be successful. It doesn't take the "system" to educate a child. It takes dedicated parenting. That's why we home school our kids.

Answer 8

i will provide you the income of the doubt and assume which you meant *some* parents do no longer take an activity of their newborn's training. after all, it may be ignorant and intensely incorrect to lump all parents jointly. i don't be attentive to why some parents do no longer take an activity of their newborn's training. There are some parents who've the silly concept that it is the college's and in elementary terms the college's accountability to teach their little ones. Such parents assume the international to advance their little ones for them. My newborn, on the different hand, has in no way been to go start up or the different low - earnings application. He is going to a in many situations happening preschool for some a million/2 days a week. something of the time, I paintings with him at homestead. he's an exceedingly incredible, satisfied newborn and a curious student. the actuality of the subject is that greater parents are like me than the negligent parents you defined. maximum persons are extremely in touch while it includes instructing our little ones. do no longer choose us according to what the minority does. With all due admire, i do no longer relatively think of you have the main suitable to choose how different individuals teach their little ones till you freshen up your writing. My 8 - 12 months - previous nephew writes greater suitable than you do. possibly in between tutoring Junior, your spouse grants you some greater help. moreover, that's faulty to base u.s.'s academic gadget off of your community. in the journey that your community is failing, take it to the college board. something persons are doing nicely while it includes coaching our little ones.

Answer 9

what about the kids whose parent are part of the underclass...and have received bad education themselves because they were from poor neighborhoods.

Those parents dont even understand that education is important...much less help their kids do homework or encourage them. and what about their neighbors who are enticing them to gangbang, drug deal, and any other myriad of criminal acvitities?

Do you believe those parents of those students are responsible for giving them the sort of education that would give them a good foundation to be productive citizens?

There is nothing wrong with what you are saying, but its the view of someone who clearly does not understand the real hurdles of those at the bottom.

(EDIT) Actually I just reread your question and found that you actually make my point for me when you said " My belief that exemplary examples are created by the parents, that, if education, learning, and reading are important, and demonstrated as such by the parents, a child will follow in kind". If parents in "good" environments provide positive examples and motivations, then its only logical that parents in "not good"situations will provide more negative examples and motivations. We agree the environment of where home is and who is at home with you matters.

The system is designed so that parents pass down their societal socio economic traits to their children.

Answer 10

Both. I taught my son to read & count & do all the things he needed to get into school.
But, the parents PAY to have them learn in a public setting, so if the system has problems, the parents have a good reason to question. I pay to have my son learn, I provide him a computer & place & time to do his homework, & take care of needs that the school doesn't/can't provide.
But, the money I pay should have them taking some of the responsibility as well.

Answer 11

Both. The educational system has to try to deal successfully with what it finds. The parents have to be held responsible for being responsible for and being involved in their children’s education. Neither group can abdicate its responsibilities and blame the other for lack of success.

Some children have the natural advantage of parents who are involved, concerned and encouraging regarding education and some don’t. Any worthwhile educational system has to take those differences into account and try to address them.
