It is not that they demand too much from their kids but they expect too little. Parents try so hard to provide their children’s needs to make them happy and become their kid’s best friend that they forget about being a real parent. A parent who knows what is best for their child should not be afraid to say “no”, “The mistake that many parents make today is not that they’re too strict but rather too lenient”. They should discipline and set limits to consumption and teach their children the value of a
Children are hindered by these kinds of schools, teachers and peers lay a big role in the children’s lives. Some teachers are there for the income it will bring into their house hold and not the well-being of the child and students are pressued by their peers into thinking that education is lame and for losers. In most cases this is what children of low income go through but not all. Many may not realize that the surroundings of children may sometimes affect their future.

Kendrick Watts Moyer English 1020- 026 10 February 2014 Is College Really for Me…?? In the essay “Is College for Everyone” by Pharinet, discusses that it’s not mandatory to attend a college institution to obtain a well-paying job. In the beginning of the essay Pharient refrains to a statement that students hear every day, “You want get anywhere without your education (635).” This is a statement that many teachers and parents repeatedly preach to their child since they were kindergartener’s. Pharinet also explains in a reasonable tone, that having a college degree doesn’t always bring success in most students’ life. Mainly because, students are not properly preparing themselves to what seems to be the “real world”.
Causes to Flunk Out College It is an irony of genera – just about every high school kid has a vision of attending to a college - an edifying society of higher education from where a student can walk on the path of realization. But, as soon as that dream is comprehended, the idealistic student gives up mortifying the aim underneath his or her feet by dropping out. In most of the time, college students discontinue to appear in the college before the end of their freshmen year. This is the main cause of falling down the percentage rate from 84.6 %( High School Graduates) to 27.2 % (Bachelor Degree Graduates). Financial expenses, the lack of readiness responsibility and choosing the wrong major are some specific reasons for college students to flunk out the college.

He attended the University of Nebraska as well as the Texas State University in San Marcos and completed his school and got his degree as a Respiratory Therapist. I find this as motivation because just like my dad where is brothers and sister didn’t even graduate high school and make less than minimum wage, I am the first generation child to go to school.
It also can make it easier than in the past for a student who switches schools, because now schools broadly have to follow a similar curriculum. The national curriculum was introduced to enable assessment, which also helped to compile league tables. League tables (1988 education act) are another change that has helped the education system. League tables are used to compare the academic achievements of different institutions and parents can use them to decide which school they want their child(ren) to go to. Using league tables is a good thing as if you want your child to go to a good school, you can chose the one most suitable with good education and exam results.
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.

I would help the child to see that just because their parents and grandparents are education to a certain extent, doesn’t mean that’s how it has to be for them.

I would help them set some serious goals for their life and for their education in hopes that those goals will stay in their mind and push them to work as hard as they can to be successful and overcome the life that generations before them have laid out for
