School is stupid and the setup and schedules are too. Schools should allow students to have more freedom. The education system should be reformed. Students should be allowed to pick four days of the week that they would like to go to school on, including the weekends. The year would be longer but the system will advance. Students and teachers would also have the holidays off. There are pros and cons to doing this, but the schooling format must be changed.
Has the schooling system failed?
The schooling system does not work anymore. Neil deGrasse Tyson once said, “The school system is constructed to praise you if you get high grades. And if you get straight A’s, you’re the one that puts forward, and they prognosticate that the straight-A person is the one most likely to succeed, because that’s the way the school system is constructed and conceived” (Tyson). Neil deGrasse Tyson is a wise man who is an astrophysicist, cosmologist, author, and science communicator. This is a bold statement but it is not true. This is how we would like the schooling system to work but it is not how it works today. Technology has advanced, kids have iPhones and laptops and they would rather stay up all night on their devices than do their studying and homework. If we, the society and community, work together, then we can change this. Allow kids in school and college to choose four days they would like to go to school. There are many opportunities that can be provided if we reformat the schooling system.
Changing the System, does it Affect Education Negatively or Positively?
The changes would affect both students and teachers, possibly making the education system better. The students will not be as stressed or worried about their assignments and homework. If they have a project and they forgot something, they can add it and go to the next class when it is due. This would allow kids to be less stressed out about their schoolwork. Also, if they don’t think they studied enough, then they can have another day to study before their test. This would help student’s grades, stress levels, and also the amount of sleep they get. Kids stay up on social media and do not sleep. Going to school certain days would allow kids to get the sleep that they need. John Kricfalusi, a famous animator, once said, “Schools are really bad now. Schools are not only bad in reading, writing and arithmetic, they’re worse in culture aspects, like music and art. The don’t teach you anything” (Kricfalusi). This saying is true to many students. With this new and improved school system idea, it will change the way that students view school. There are many problems with the school system. Such as how the teacher’s time schedules would work. Well, the school could potentially hire two teachers per subject, this could also help lower unemployment rates. Also, changing the schooling system could raise college intuition. This is true but the education students would be getting is incredible. We would also be getting more rest so we are well rested and ready to learn and improve our learning skills. The students would be more focused because they would not have to worry about how much work they have to do because they would have more time to do it. What if a student misses a lesson? The student can go to a class on another day. The teachers would teach the same class two days and you wouldn’t fall behind. Overall, this new system will revolutionize schooling. The students would be more focused, enthusiastic, and ready to go to school.
