When I hear the political and public demand for education reform, I wonder if those votes are familiar with the family and society affect children and their education. There are some problems in school are children who are changing the curricula, teachers, or can be repaired by increased resources to schools. The basic needs of many children taken away from home and separate these children can not concentrate on his home from an academic life. Those who are resistant have a probability ofSuccess, but not the absence of such intrinsic motivation to succeed strength to go forward. Education, love and security that all children need to grow, it lacks many homes.
I teach in California. One of my students, I call him James, has a mother who lives five city school, where his only son attended. She and her husband were recently divorced. James' father lives on the East Coast. James lives in my neighborhood school with her childrenGrandmother. He is failing in all his classes and has a tendency to bully other children. He is capable of doing scientific work and his scores from his previous school year show that ability. However, after I had a conversation with James, was very sad when I asked him if he wanted to live with his mother. James does not understand why he does not live with it. He loves his grandmother, but her English is limited, is not involved with his education, with whom he playedto study video games instead of homework or supplement, and not let it go out. Has no friends in his neighborhood.
A conference with the mother of James' asked me if he ever cared for his son. Obviously she has a friend who lives in the house bought by divorce, and I can not help but think that James would have interfered with their "new life. He said he sees his son every weekend, but for him it is not true. So this guy can not continue toSchool, perhaps because he has a mother who does not want him, and he knows it. I am not the real name of one of the children in my class or classes of other teachers in my examples, but the facts are true.
Peter's father died in Iraq. He tries not to think about, but the sadness is visible in his eyes. First step types may relieve the pain she feels for the loss of his father. He does his best at school, emotional struggles. Linda band members in theirFamily. She does not want to sound too smart in front of them because it is not cool. Your votes do not represent their low capacity, but the acceptance of family more important than school. You do not want to talk about bands, because they are marginalized. Installation of the Sun is more than academic success.
Sexual activity I remember in my high school events in 1970 is now available in much lower quality. Two boys saw the fifth class of pornographicPhotos and videos on their phones. A third grade boy wrote a note to another boy in the class asked him if he wanted to "f ---" one of the girls in the class. The age of technology is a blessing and a curse was. Students from high school to play music from iPods, text messages to their friends, teachers and classmates while all educational videotape, and videotape fights outside. Twelve years, Miriam and Debra go to the bathroom of the school at noon and take cellMobile phone pictures of their breasts, to send to friends. Your mind does not work in school.
The current economic situation has also affected educational achievement of young people. In Santa Clara County, Silicon Valley, about 20,000 people are homeless. About 25 percent of them are children under the age of 18 years. Children know when their parents are stressed and worried. In a National Educators Association (NEA) article titled "The Recession Hits Home - And then the class" by Mary Ellen Flannery,She writes that, according to Tripp Jeffers, president of Forsyth County, North Carolina Association of Educators,
"We always knew that the socio-economic status and changes in students' socio-economic impact and their ability to succeed in the classroom."
Children devastated when their parents become unemployed and the family lost their homes makes it difficult to impossible to stay focused on their academic success. The same article called the National Bureauof Economic Research found that 15 percent of children, their families lost their homes may end up repeating a class.
Father Philip is physically abused his mother. Mother and son moved out of the apartment in a shelter for safety. This could be the reason for Philip lashes out verbally and physically to other students without provocation by others. She cries easily when he gets angry. He has poor grades in all classes because his school is not so important to him righthours.
Some parents do not realize that every day a child is missing school is a day of learning, it is difficult to retrieve. Education class are built on them. As Allan's mother died a few years ago, is now twelve, he had to live with his uncle. He fails in all its layers. He loves to play and have fun at school and do not want to work hard for good grades. It lacks more orders than he, because he has lost many days of school completed. His uncle took himVisiting family in another state during the Christmas holidays. We had two weeks off, but had gone for a month. In early February was in the Philippines for a week and a half for a funeral. Nobody in his family, the school lets you know that is gone, but his school will have to work to bring more complete when he returns. Allan did not even need to ask for the job. Now the school year is half over and will fall further behind his classmates. He knows it andrenounce. Yet there is still at least two days a week.
The examples I have so many children who find themselves in difficult situations at home or who want to give instant gratification could instead work to fruition. This is happening everywhere. I read blogs by teachers in the United States and the United Kingdom, who face the same challenges. Nobody wants to talk about the responsibility of parents, students and society in this educational reform.Teachers can not solve all the problems of bringing students classrooms. More tests, more money, pay respect to teachers, or changes in programs do not change students. Ten years of law enforcement and the twelve years of teaching have shown me that needs a change begins at home. From there, the company responsible for the events that challenge our children.
