Essay #1 Topic Reflection
The contemporary education system is a social issue that interests me. The reason why this interests me is that there are a lot of things wrong with the current education system and I want to understand ways in how to improve this system so that it allows students to be more flexible and not be left behind. The issues surrounding the education system is that It does not allow specific students to live up to their full potential. Another prominent issue with the system is that it teaches kids that grades are the most important thing and not the learning process behind it. Furthermore, it focuses more on the memorization aspect of learning rather than teaching students how to understand and apply themselves. Also, the system believes the grades of a student determines their intelligence and creativity which is false. Another problem with the system is that some students do not learn properly in a classroom as well as having a lot of homework which creates stress for the students. I believe the solution to improving the education system is to focus more on how the students learn rather than trying to teach every student the same method because every student learns and adapts to material differently. Another improvement would be to focus less on grades and more on the learning process of trying to get students to understand concepts and applying themselves. Furthermore, parental involvement can be another factor in a child’s education since a parent not caring about their child’s education can affect their child negatively. I want to know about more solutions on how to improve the current education system.
