They stress day and night over these overrated tests, like previously stated channeling out the imagination, curiosity and good will. Besides being an imprecise measure for students, they use them to judge a teacher’s performance as well, essentially used to either reward or punish them. Standardized test are not helping us very much right now. In conclusion, the usage of standardized tests should be discontinued or by the very least lessened. These tests are not helping people, it’s initially having a negative effect on students and teachers.
Those parents have to stay vigorously involved in schooling their kids. Surely the obligation to ensure our nation’s future must be shared also by those who don’t have children in the public schools. Those people who should take an interest in the students that will eventually be stepping into the workforce. They should be developing work-study groups, internships and job placement banks that they can recruit and develop to be successful. Evidently, the tasks of educating our children nowadays are a lot more difficult than simple examinations and easy solutions.
It is the schools responsibility to be able to provide good enough teachers, who can prepare these students. In order to have a good education, there must be qualified teachers there to teach and prepare students effectively. Bauerlein questions schools curriculums and the way they are presenting “complex texts” (Bauerlein) to the students; “The more high school teachers place complex texts on the syllabus and concoct slow, deliberate reading exercises for students to complete, the more they will inculcate the habit” (Bauerlein). Students learn what their teachers tell them they have to learn, without knowing the effects the teachings will have on them whether good or bad. That is why schools providing qualified teachers are so important
Conformity vs. Individuality State education and student individuality are what causes much tension in public schools. Schools want to achieve the same goal of producing a good student, but through what means? Are mandatory classes going to teach students to think for themselves of how to blend in with conformity and obey authority? It is in the schools best interest to balance these ideas and not lean towards only one, and not have a school only based on conformity or individuality, but should balance both. Mandatory classes are used to set a basic system and to set standard classes for everyone, since everyone must learn the same things such as math, reading, and science.

In the book all off his class peers disliked him for no apparent reason, they thought just because he acted a bit weird they decided not to talk to him or pay attention to him. Robert did not care about school, he did not listen in class and his grades were not very good, he even said he does not care about school. So as you can see Robert Billings was one of those kids who did not care very much
Gene was always uptight, usually taking charge on the educational parts, as he stated,” If I need to study then so do you.”(Knowles Pg. 58) It helped as he went on to become the top of his class, and popular among the boys who did care about academics. Gene took the roll as the responsible one, at the morning on the beach he hurried Phineas to leave for a critical test they had that day. (Knowles Pg.51) Gene was portrayed as the underdog in A Separate Peace, even if he was the main character. He was very unpopular, clinging close to Phineas, who was Gene’s only source of social interaction.
Montaigne believes that the purpose of education is for children to develop knowledge in the field they are being taught and not to just get their heads filled with different facts that he or she doesn’t understand. I believe that children should be taught to understand and not be educated to memorize things. Montaigne believes that this doesn’t teach children anything because this can easily allow them to forget what they have learned because they are not understanding it. Montaigne states that education should put a child “through its paces, making it taste things, choose them, and discern them by itself” (pg.110). Children should learn through their own pace and we shouldn’t throw things at them that will be difficult for them to acquire.
This naturally formed structure is not conducive to a cooperative, respectful, safe, learning environment. By careful observation, a teacher can learn valuable information and plot a strategic management plan, which uses the positive qualities of the hierarchy, such as student leadership, and rejects the negative qualities. While the teacher is observing her class, an equally intense reconnaissance of the teacher is being carried out by the students. With a thoughtful strategy, a teacher can change the destiny of her students (and herself), if she has the foresight and fortitude to commit to her plan of action. Self Management The students should be made aware of what their responsibilities are and exactly what is expected of them.
“Parents should take care about their children, teach them what is good and bad, or what they should do or not; increase their esteem and show them the value of life.” (School Shootings: How to Empower Against Guns) And before these cases happen they should teach their children need to react in these circumstances or emergencies. Researchers have concluded some “symptoms”, or clues, of school shootings; these are not always helpful because school shooters are not always having the same plans and there’s any profile of them. 1. Attackers talk about their plans. They usually talk about their life,
