In today generation kids are basically going to school just to be given unnecessary information that will not go no where in life. Parents should start taking action in trying to change this corrupted school system because teachers these days preferably the teachers in high school cause that’s where its really noticeable. Parents should go up to the school and talk to the principle about their child’s education because they are basically wasting there time coming to school and learning literally nothing that will help them in life. students should also stand up and say something about this problem before it gets even worse than it is right now. Students aren’t getting the proper education they deserve in today’s society. It could be both the students and teachers or just the students or just the teachers on why the students are not getting the proper education they need in order to make the right decisions when they get older.

The school system in this new generation is corrupted we have teachers that are out here rubbing there ideals to gullible young consumers that don’t really much about the world as yet. Some teachers would tell us her ideals and her opinion about the things happening and the young gullible kids agreed on the things she was saying even though we didn’t understand what she was talking about. In the article “Against School”, John Taylor Gatto expresses his point of view which it shows how the American schooling system seems childish. According to the article “Against School” by John Taylor Gatto it says “My own experience had revealed to me what many other teachers learn along the way, too, yet keep to themselves for fear of reprisal”. Additionally if a student was to corrected a teacher by telling them your not suppose to be teaching students about her religion, or her ideals but it can backfire because some teachers hate to be corrected so they might try to do something to the student like fail him or give extra homework.

The other problems that are shown is that certain teachers don’t like there job or they don’t like work load they are mandatory to do. Some of the teachers don’t like dealing with students especially the ones that don’t listen to there instructions. There are teachers that are lazy they would just give the students work without even caring if they did well or not. They don’t like the fact they have to set up test, grade the test, create homework and also correct it, and the biggest one of all is giving up there free time especially there off days to come to work to help students graduate, obtain credits or give them an opportunity to pass the class and with that they would have to prepare work for them. This then has an impact on the students because they not getting the full help they really need or they just end up getting work without even getting it looked at.

Parents must start asking their kids hows school going or if the teachers are doing a good job teaching there kids. If not parents must take the initiative and going to the school to see what exactly is the problem on why there kid is complaining about the teacher. If after the parent talks to the teacher and there is no change in the class then the parents should go straight to the principle and report the teacher about how they are not doing there job properly and there not teaching there kids the proper information needed to make proper decisions for there future. Parents these days shows no interest in there child’s education all they care about is that they go to school and that’s it but there child. When my high school had parent teacher conference there were barely any parents showing up to see there kids report cards or talk to the teachers to see how there kid is doing in that class or if they are behaving good or bad in class. Some parents have to change so they can keep there kid on the right track

Therefore in conclusion students need the proper guidance in order for them to take on the obstacles ahead of them in order to have a full filling life. Also parents need to start taking the initiative in making sure there child is getting a proper education and not wasting there time in going to school for information that will not help them in there lives in the future. Additionally I agree with Gatto argument because I believe that students need an education in order to make the proper decisions in life. Students need all the help they can get in order to full fill there goals and achieve their goals.
