Child's failure
Child's failure
In today's society it is no secret that the children of America are lagging behind when it comes to scholastic standards. Who's to blame for the failure of children? It could be said that it is the teacher's fault but the teachers are only with the children for a certain period of time each day and they truly have no way of knowing whether or not the child was able to retain the information given if that child does not make it known. Does failure fall on the shoulders of the student, the parents or the teacher? I've taught in schools where the parents were illiterate so the child is beginning school without necessary reading and/or math skills that could have him or her at or above the level of their peers. So I say again, who's to blame?

I do agree the children need a support system beyond the teachers. There is only so much the teacher can do to motivate the students outside the classrooms.
Unfortunatly, when parents are not well educated, it would also be hard for them to help the kids at home, if they, themselves, do not fully understand the school work.
If the parents have a don't know, or don't care attitude when it comes to thier children, then who is there? It is hard to blame the kids, if they do not have someone helping them out.

Parents, teacher, society, government they are all part of a childs failings.
Parents who don't take an interest, teachers who are not good teachers, society that isn't putting enough emphasis on educating our kids and government for not funding education more.
I personally am amazed at how here in Canada and my province in particular, we have this lackadaisical attitude towards our future generations. We in this province have been told that the governement is not going to do anything about our high drop out rate. What causes this high drop out rate... oh this is rich... our booming economy. Crikey when a kid at 16 can quit school and go work at DQ for $10.00/hour why would he or she want to go to school. Ok so who is to blame here??? Everybody.

That's it I'm packing and moving in with Minks. I'd work at DQ for $10 bucks an hour, plus all the free cookie dough blizzards. 
But to the question, I do think parents have a hand in whether or not their child is successful in school, and later once out on thier own. However there's always the exception. I grew up poor, dirt poor. and I remeber being so ashamed of having to buy stuff at the store with foodstamps, so I always vowed I'd never allow myself end up in that situation. So I worked my arse off in school, got great grades even attended college for a couple of years. So I guess my point is that it depends to child to child on whether or not they choose to work hard for thier future sucess or not.

Yes true enough parents do play a huge part in a childs education, I think they are pretty much the base aren't they.

Sooner or later it's always the teachers' fault when children/young people go wrong. 'Society' loves to blame someone ELSE for it's problems. Well I guess it's the easiest option?

It is the responsibility of all three parties involved. Teachers need to do their best, parents need to follow up and take an active part in their children's schooling, and the children need to do as best they can, and ask for help when clarification is needed. I'm afraid that all 3 fall short in their obligations in a lot of cases.

Bullet's trial was a farce. Can I get an AMEN?????
We won't be punished for our sins, but BY them.
