In a perfect world, what and how would you change the educational system in our country? What is the purpose of your education? Do schools need more money per pupil? Should standardized testing be the only way to measure a school? a district? or a student? Should No Child Left Behind be renewed by the federal government?
If there was a perfect world, the education system would be flawless and everyone would try hard and keep pushing themselves, but since this is not a perfect world everyone does not care about their education so they are more likely to fail in life. The way I would change the educational system would have more teachers be more passionate about what they are teaching and have more mandatory tutoring. I think that if there were more tutoring involved there would be more students who understand their work and also there is less of a chance that there will be less kids on the streets and being involved in gangs. We would do this by adding one more period at the end of the day which would be the tutoring session and while they are there they could finish or start on their homework and if they are having trouble there are people around them that could help them. This could also help out the sport teams by having them start on their homework instead of having them wait till after practice when they are already tired and don’t want to do anything.
Another way we could change the educational system is by having the teachers teach passionately about the subject they are teaching. If the teacher is very excited about what he/she teaches then you could get the sense that it is going to be a fun and educational class. I don’t know how to explain it but you can feel the enthusiasm and the joy they have when they are teaching and when they teach you can understand the concept more clearly and get to grasp the methods used. The way I see it is by when the teacher enjoys what is being taught you get to learn more and have fun at the same time. If the teacher is boring it is probably because they are not interested in what is being taught and that’s why more students are ditching classes and staying in others because they like the ones that are more lively and fun. We could change it by having more teachers give more interviews and having them explain their subject and how they would teach it, and if the ones that don’t really give a lot of enthusiasm they could try more times until they sound like someone who is very passionate about their subject. I know it sounds harsh but this is my perfect world.
