The education system is a cluster of information that can sometimes be displayed as a positive thing but more of the time it can be negative because the information sometimes will not be delivered in a way that everybody can understand d i see this form time to time on all levels of education its like the system almost doesn’t care if you really understand the information just the fact of the matter that they are giving it out to you . but other students learn at a different pace than others
An experience that changed my views on education was my high school at this “milestone in life” everybody moved on to the next grade and i also realize that almost everybody graduated even the ones that did not show up to class and missed school for days so i feel like in school to they put so much pressure on you to be perfect not caring about mental health and then leave you very stressed in the regards to living up to the idea of being the perfect “A” student when the reality of it is if you do the bare minimum to past your gonna move on to the next level just like the person who went all out and got like 99 plus average. I feel like back in high school the teachers would make you feel so bad if you did the bare minimum to pass when you technically did your job you passed right? Given this information that I figured out for myself I always maintained a 83- 85 average to get the honor roll cause I figured out that’s where the bare minimum requirements were if I wanted to have an okay looking transcript for colleges. The reality of the education system is that you have to find a way to work and interpret assignments in your own way while trying to keep a good mental health. You will be fine because I feel like if your mental health is not there you won’t learn anything.
In the education system some kids don’t get equal opportunities as others too sometimes it’s a hit or miss for example i was on the other kids who had all the exposure to internships , jet blue job shadowing and also got to go to square headquarters along many more instances where i was handed a opportunity to be ahead of the her in many instances. With This being said I feel like the education system would be a better place if everybody got these as options at least like allow them to reject these opportunities rather than not give it to them in the first place. Because these programs helped me alot in the real world which is what it should all be about in the end because majority of the time the classes that you take in school you probably wont ever need to know that specific knowledge again outside that class because it does not pertain to your career field. The program I was participating in was the Build NYC program. This really helped me with my speaking skills and writing skills which a lot of kids could use rather than the manipulation they face in school for not getting an A average . know i mention this before but i think the sole reason for this whole levels in education k_12 is to toy with your mental construct and only the strong will survive cause the reality of it is you have to find a way to make the education system work for your
The standard for success is a very broad spectrum meanwhile my pairs at school were learning about how Christopher Columbus stole america i was in these rooms job shadowing people at these high paying office jobs that never even went to college i even had met this one guy that read 3 books and taught himself how to code. Then boom there he was getting paid very well at this job with an apartment downtown and if you know anything about downtown nyc it’s very expensive to live in these buildings. I was shown that i can pass in school but at the end of the day i need to be exposed to real world experiences because i was learning something new every time i went on these endeavors meanwhile in school the information was basically being repeated even in college too but t a extent i feel like the disguised it as new information by over complicating things that we already know so now it looks like Chinese . Instead of this they should incorporate some things that we can actually use in the real world like classes on taxes or tax write offs of even stocks.
The motive should be to teach things that can be translated to the real world. They should almost make it like a trade school or at least have one class like I did that would give internships or job shadowing, giving everybody some real exposure to the workforce. It almost seems like they abuse the big brother concept where they are just watching over you waiting for you to make a mistake. With this being said not every teacher is like this but the majority is for example the teachers that are willing to listen to your voice of opinions on certain topics are very minuscule compared to those who abused the big brother concept. The times are changing and with this the age of information soon kids will be telling teachers that they have already heard and seen what they are saying so probably that will bring about some positive changes.
