The Common Problems With Public Education

By Karina Frost


The world is full of people from all walks of life. These people are easily being placed into boxes, too, as discrimination is fast becoming rampant in almost all parts of the world. The world is always handed out in a silver platter to those who are rich, powerful, and brainy. The elite enjoy the best of everything, while the average guy has to work his buns off to survive from what little options he is being presented with.

Since nobody is created equal, discrimination remains to be alive, even though people share the same innovations to help them make their lives a whole lot better. The ones born into a privileged life get to enjoy more privileges even when they do not ask for it. More and more opportunities are denied to the average guy. People live in times where you have to give your best early on and keep at it until somebody better comes, which is why one has to come well prepared by obtaining a good degree in spite of all the problems with public education.

The transfer of all the skills, habits, and knowledge from one generation to the next is often referred to as education. The successful transfer is often made by use of research, training, and the imparting of worthwhile lessons every learner can use in real life scenarios. Education can be done with the help of an educator, though some have learned the art of self education on their own.

It is only considered effective when the student is able to connect everything he has learned into real life scenarios. There are even so many levels to be completed, each deemed appropriate to a certain set age bracket. Preschool, primary, secondary, tertiary, and on the job training often encompass these set levels. Private and public forms are also available.

Schools abound the country since every individual is given the right to good education. This right is often exercised by means of getting into a public school. In the country, such institutions are dubbed as state schools. You do not have to pay a charge when you get enrolled in one.

Despite its best efforts, the public education system is on the brink. Schools are hardly producing qualified graduates anymore. Learners are not learning all the necessary skills they are supposed to in order to fend for themselves in the real world. Some even graduate without recollection of any valuable thing that they have retained in all the years they have spent in an institution.

One of the reasons that the system is failing is often pointed out to the lack of cooperation by most family units. Lack of parent involvement is a very serious problem. Since the parents are the first teachers, they are also expected to be involved in the learnings of their offspring. The school is actually just a extension of the home, and not a baggage counter where you can leave your t6hings for a while and come back for them later.

Sometimes the very hindrance to a successful graduate is the student himself. The mind has the ability to absorb only what it likes, which is why many do not learn much. They are more engrossed with other activities, failing to realize that their future is at risk.

Money and the lack thereof can also be a serious problem. Due to financial incapacity, parents are not able to send their kids off to good schools where they can be honed. Sometimes, people just stop attending classes to get a job and make money for the family.
