School Needs Help! (6.0)

Teachers say that children learn best in a safe, monotonous environment. If students in their years at school are to learn the most that they possibly can, then the administrators and commissioners must work to bring fun and excitement to the classroom. New rules must be instated, and old, insufficient ones must be removed. For it's not the adults who will have to pay for horrendous education, it's the learners themselves.

Instructors fail to realize that strict, insensitive, and boring classrooms do help students learn. Teachers are becoming more and more removed from their students, almost as if they're in it only for the money and other benefits. What kind of message does that send to the children? I feel that if teachers aren't willing to help students through a course, or not even bothering to learn their names, then those teachers shouldn't be teaching. Children these days need teachers who are excited to come to work each day, and that love to work with children. Teachers that feel the need to help every student, ones who don't pick favorites, and who have fun while they're doing it, are the ones that need to be teaching children, not self-obsessed, cranky, and ignorant ones. But that's not the only thing that could be done to help with education.

Most rules help and keep us safe, while some, don't do any one any good. Teachers usually do not allow students to help one another. They feel that students will and disrupt the class, but if you trust the students to not "disrupt" the class, and know that there will always be talking in student-to-student teaching, then the situation would be far less "disruptive". And from my experience in school, students are some of the greatest tutors around, better than adults usually. Gum is like an illegal drug at school. But if gum was "legalized," then students wouldn't put it under the tables and desks, they wouldn't throw it on the ground, and teachers wouldn't have to crackdown on gum-chewing.

The act of cheating is usually done when driven into despair-albeit, some do it because they think they are to good to study. The fact of the matter is that cheating is wrong, but it can be stopped, and there is an easy way to put the anti-establishmentarianism to rest. If children, cheat, if spouses cheat, if politicians cheat, and if sportsmen cheat, they must all have at least one common reason or some related cause for doing it. Children cheat to get better grades, spouses cheat to feel better, politicians cheat for their own gain, and sportsmen cheat to win; you may not notice it at first, but there is a common aim: to get satisfaction. Now, in order for teachers and administrators to make schools better and to give them what they need, children shouldn't have to feel that they can't get their satisfaction; they need to feel good, confident, and reassured before a test or exam, or even a quiz, that is pivotal in preventing most cheating. But, I never said that good, old-fashioned cover sheets and "folder-walls" aren't goo at protecting form those, pesky, annoying, and up-to-no-good cheaters.

Temptations and distractions abound in classrooms and all around the school in general. Some children sell drugs, others bully the weak, and more and more are dropping their pants below their waits and are wearing shorter and shorter skirts and shorts. Kids these days are more sexually active than ever, and it shows in their attire and actions. Many adults think that only certain people are dressing and acting like, but whether your face is brown, if you were born with a crown on your head, if you're blonde, if you're red, white, or blue or if color just isn't for you, it's everyone that's beginning act like that. It all starts at school, and if the schools in America can't stop what must be stopped, all these temptations and distractions and such. No one likes rotten apples, no one likes bad people, and the bad people at schools shouldn't be at the schools.

Let It Be, the famous song by the Beatles, released on there final album, says that once all the people living in the world agree, that there will be an answer, and that we shouldn't mess with it. That saying applies not only to the world in general, but to the very much-needed improvements in education. And that is the truth, we can't improve schools, unless we change things, but if someone doesn't want better teachers, or better, more accessible classrooms, or more applicable rules, or if some one doesn't feel the need to stop the rising move to drugs, and sex, and violence, then we can't do a thing. But I believe, no, I know, that one day-it may be in a few days, or in a thousand-that we will come to an agreement. And when we do, I feel that we should let it be.
