Are you happy with the education system in your country??????? ( Archived) (30)

Greece, with it's poor economy can have free University education...Don't tell me that a whole America can't afford free Univ. Education?

right now i know what i need to know but i would like to learn more. most ppl already know at least half the things they go to a univeristy to learn the only difference is is that they dont have a piece of paper sayin that they went there and spent thousands of dollars to recieve said piece of paper...i jus think it is stupid to make ppl pay over $100,000 jus to go to school for 4 yrs to learn something ...to me u shouldnt be able to put a price on an education

Yep!!!

Hell no U.S. students hardly go, they rather skip then be rediculed at class by other students or teachers. They rather sit and smoke pot or drink and be an outcast. They don't get the proper mixture of mentor/friendship/teacher from the schooling system as of now. And that's my opinion from going to over twenty schools all over the united states.

College is over priced, under staffed and it's become a system of how fast can we push these kids through.

Our highschool and college drop outs with a G.E.D. and a drivers license can become police officers for crying out loud!

Grading is done on a ridiculous curve and tests are multiple choice most of the time (not real quality grading of knowledge/talent)

Teachers are teaching supposed facts (sometimes true sometimes not) about things when they should be teaching stuff like investment, law, banking, things around the house, repair, how to manage a family, home and business career.

Why railroad into one believe of creation let them learn it all and choose their belief...

English, Mathematics, Science, and stuff of the sort should be taught but in todays age when you can look up the capital of any city they shouldn't be teaching you that so much as teaching you how to fit into society and make a difference, how to apply for patents or schedule events and gatherings. Book keeping, Filing papers, Meta tagging information, Research and analysis, comparison, bargain shopping, green environments and global warming...

Social skills are poorly taught and huge divides in social groups cause drastic life long problems...

We should be working on team building skill's not competition. It's not who can spell the biggest words its who can work through a problem most effectively and come out ahead in life. With relationships, with critical thinking, with problem solving.... teach them how to juggle and manage the complexities of life don't bog them down with jeporady material... We've got computers if were interested then we can find it... or assign it as extra credit work...

Wow that felt great :) awesome question!

"Hour ejucashun heer iz grate. reMemmber, noo chIld levt behinde..."

he said it... and its so true look at how we write and spell...

he did this jokingly, knowing we could understand him but how many people have you seen working a job just to live month to month because they were one of those children from the no child left behind act that did absolutely nothing to keep them in school but send a truancy officer to there door to say he hasn't gone to school enough it's better if he just obtains his G.E.D.

You made me feel better friend...Thank you for your great reply....

I am sure you would...Everyone would do except politicians...They now nothing about aything....

common sense is what is missing.

My pleasure, education is something I feel strongly about. I have fought tooth and nail for the knowledge I have obtained. I have sailed through some schools and struggled at others. I have seen the best, the average and the worst. Unfortunately the best were programs my family or I spent every penny we could afford to get in to.

I've gone on to start a educational technology company for a private school i went to. If the public schools were to consider adopting similar ideas, wewould most likely have boughten them up to par but only the private schools are willing to spend the capital that is necessary to get the tools and information to students in the ways they enjoy and accelerate at learning

Everyone learns different some enjoy audio and visual, others written, some learn better when the teacher is entertaining, or attractive... some if the teacher takes the time to sit down and explain it to them personally not just in a group setting, dumbed down monotone setting

Some students can read it once and have it down others need more to write it, hear it, see it, talk about it or even do more homework involving it. Why punish many with the way a few ways a teacher like to teach, everything should be customized to the individual student in such a way that it optimizes his education at the best time/performance ratio.

We aren't all created equal, were all unique so why teach in a blanketed manner that punishes some, rewards others, and bores the living daylights out of many... Schools as tedious as watching paint dry for the majority of students and the other students just don't get something because they missed something and the time needs to be spent on catching them up...

Why arent all classes recorded and accessible on the internet? Why arent classes interactive and education built on prior knowledge.... if we could learn from everyone else that sat in the same class we could learn sooooooo much more quickly than one teacher teaching the same damn thing for 15 years !!@#!@# it burns the teacher out they get bored too!

It's a broken system in dire need of being reworked from the ground up, top down, from within with students and teachers, from the outside from parents and political figures.

Thank god technology is progressing so rapidly that by 2030 or so people will be able to bypass the government/public system and obtain the education they desire electronically through virtual reality or something of the sort.
