Schools fail to educate students by the lack of passion faculty have for students entirely, resources, and sufficient courses.

Teaching requires compassion, concern, and understanding. Many lack all of 3 that are listed, and as a result there is no connection between teacher, student, or what’s being taught. All instructors should at least understand the fact that there’s more to the body that occupies the space in their class for what ever period of time. Whether that more is negative or positive taking into account what he/she may be dealing with outside of school should be done with grace. It is safe to say many people do what they do for an income and solely. Without passion for educating students and showing them the correct way, yes the school and faculty will fail students.

Without the proper books, handouts, and tools (computers, supplies etc) the quality of the lesson can be altered. A quick glimpse into the world we live in: An elementary school on the west side of Chicago has little to no updated books, poor technology, and depending on the building no recreational space, HOWEVER, an elementary school on the north side of Chicago has it made enough to replace textbooks with iPads and/or laptops. That alone should explain my entire argument.

Most importantly, students are being failed by schools by being forced to learn ideas and formulas that will not benefit them post primary/secondary. Banking, credit, home ownership, investing, politics etc is what should be taught in schools through out the nation. No doubt being able to count, read, and write is just as important, but being instilled with skills to survive and maintain a nice adult life is as well!

Students are being failed by schools because some faculty members aren’t genuinely concerned with the well being of them, the lack of resources, and sufficiency of courses. As a whole, I pray that both public and private schools are met with nearly perfect circumstances for both the faculty and students.
