Controversial Topics And Education

How would you feel knowing that controversial issues aren’t being taught in schools and by failing to do so it's harming future generations?  Some people might argue that they want their teenagers to be learning about controversial issues in high schools and some may not.  The truth of the matter is that school curricula have been focused on teaching students about content, and how to memorize information. It's time that it gets changed due to the fact that teenagers aren’t learning anything from the curriculum that is set in place now because it’s not beneficial to the students and they won’t be gaining any life skills from it.

Horrors of Education

Do you think that America’s education system is flawless? Probably not, but did you know that it might actually be negligently harmful towards the future of America? The current education system is extremely flawed, and is in need of reform. Schools do not teach students how to live in the ‘real world’, instead having kids figure it out for themselves. They do not provide students with skills that will bring them success in life, let alone teaching ‘the future of America’ how to deal with mental health issues that have been on the rise, plaguing this generation and most likely, many more in the future. If the American education system does not change, it will project America towards a bleak future, rife with unthinking, emotionally distraught individuals. This future is not so far away, and the government is not doing enough to stop this dystopia. At the crux of this issue is the current system of education and what it teaches, or rather, what it doesn't teach. Students aren’t taught some of the most important skills in life and it's leading towards a breaking point.

What Are You Willing to Sacrifice?

What motivates you to work? What makes you push through and throughout the challenges that come your way? What is your driving factor in being successful? Motivation is something a lot of people in America struggle to find when it comes to working. People think that everything they do will be fun and easy, but the truth is that you have to push through the tough situations to feel the gratification of completing it. Setting goals and creating personal rewards for finishing long, hard, or tedious tasks can be a great way to motivate yourself. Everyone has their way of balancing their work and leisure, but recently there has been a push to bring leisure to the work world and there have been very mixed opinions on this. America is working towards a happier work environment and looking to make people less stressed at work. But what does this mean in terms of pay or the benefits they will receive outside of work.

The Educational Dilemma

For many decades, the knowledge people possessed seemed to be endlessly improving as time went on. Whether it be new inventions, ideologies, or important practices, knowledge lived throughout the population and helped to benefit the world. That knowledge, however, is not being shared the right way when it comes to the children of the present and future. The technological flaws in the world have been masked by the pros it brings to the people. Sadly, the undeniable truth is that for students in schools, technology tends to hurt their learning abilities more than help them. There’s a handful of people who think that schools using technology is beneficial for kids as it offers them easier access to work, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth.

The Dark Side of The College System

The college system is corrupt. Dropout rates are high, college tuition is rising, and depending on your economic stance and ethnicity, you have a lower chance of going to a good school and graduating. Additionally, the amount of interest a student shows in a college could decrease the amount of aid the school offers them. Unfortunately, the government doesn’t offer a large amount of equal opportunities for all students, regardless of their socioeconomic or ethnic backgrounds, to go to college and remain there. In today’s society there’s an increased pressure on kids to go to a good college, yet the government isn’t doing enough to make college more accessible to everyone or even to improve a student’s chances of succeeding throughout college.

America’s Education Problem and Why the Government is to Blame

Why do you think America has such a problem with education today? Public schools fail to properly educate students, but still overwork them. American students have performed worse on globally standardized tests than most other developed countries, schools still cause such high levels of stress and poor mental health among students, and they have begun to teach kids with a lack of open-ended questions that causes them to believe they are performing terribly when they fail.
