Failing Education
Growing up, the teachers always said they would teach you to survive the world, one you knew absolutely nothing about. Now you look at the so-called generation X that came out of those classrooms.
These teachers were responsible for murderers, con artists, thieves, rapists, druggies and drug dealers. Did you ever see the numbers showing that only one out of ten high school students actually make any kind of life and survive in the real world as an adult, four out of ten will end up in jail, two out of ten will try to commit suicide, and one will succeed. Three will hold minimum wage jobs.They will have children young, and struggle with $6.50 an hour wages to keep a home, a car, and feed their kids even with medicade and food stamps. So parents ask your selves what kind of lessons about the world are we teaching our children. When we rely on teachers to teach them what they need to know in school and take no interest in doing so ourselves. We have to ask are our children being taught the necessity’s of life?
Who’s failing here, us, our kids, or the teachers?? someone answer me that! you see I came out of that generation. I’ve been married once,separated and working on a divorce. I have a 2 year old son, a part time job that just sometimes isn’t enough to make it week to week. All i can afford is a car thats falling apart. I’ve managed to survive tho not so well. no home of my own, living at moms. and simply trying to survive a world that school never readied me for.When do we get to finally see the light that the upper class see. Simply because their schools have funding and computer privilege that ours don’t. How do I apologize to my son later down the road, and tell him how hard it really is. How do I prepare him for a world where without real education you become a statistic?
How much do we really care about our children’s education when we put close to nothing toward it.Should it be our responsibility? or someone else’s to teach our children? We pay our tax’s we pay our dues to see our children get that education. So then where are things going wrong? Perhaps we should blame ourselves for our children’s lacking education or the fundamental knowledge of how the world really works. It is our responsibility to guide our children. It is the responsibility of a nation to make education available as a whole for all children no matter their class. is one more deserving simply because one is lower, middle or upper class? Start asking these questions, maybe then someone will take responsibility for the ongoing mistake.
