To teach is to take on a herculean task.
I believe that every student can be taught, and can learn. It is unfortunate that a class’ success is determined by the ability of the class to shut up while the teacher feeds them with information. It is shocking that instead of the teacher challenging the class to think, he urges them to subscribe to the restrictions already set by the so-called curriculum.
Teachers take on education sourly. Some only deign to teach because they lack the ability to do anything else. Teaching is a fallback.
The government allocates more budget for bullets than chalk. Unless the school’s meagerness is offered up to the media, the local government barely notices the existing and uncomfortable fact that the seventy students in a classroom have to share fifty chairs. Fifty rickety chairs.
The books hardly help. It’s no secret that there had been a lot of issues about misprinted and erroneous data in public school books.
Imagine trying to light one lamp at a time only to find out that it’s turned dimmer every time you leave the room – simply because it’s the easier thing to do.
Some people view the state of our nation’s education as a national disaster in slow motion. I think it’s gaining speed.
