Most people have an opinion about the school system and the education of children . In this case a retired teacher wrote a letter to a newspaper to comment on what the problem is according to him.
This is what the professor wrote:
As a retired teacher, I’m tired of all the people who don’t know anything about public schools, haven’t been to a classroom recently, or who think they can fix our educational system.
Teachers are not the problem! It is the parents who are the problem. They neither teach children good manners nor teach them what respect is – children don’t even have a general understanding of how to get along with other people.
Children come to school with shoes that cost more than the teacher’s clothes – at the same time that they don’t even have paper or pencil for class.
When you talk about schools that have “failed,” look at the parents and the children. Do parents go to parent meetings? Do they speak regularly with the teachers? Do you make sure children are prepared and have the necessary equipment? Do you make sure the children do their homework? Do you have a phone number that works?
Do students take notes in class? Do they do their homework? Do they listen in the lessons or is the student one of those who annoys and destroys others?
When you have looked at these factors, you understand that it is not the schools that have failed, but the parents.
Teachers can’t do their job as much as parents’.
Until parents do their job it won’t get any better!
Many teachers have supported this letter, giving it every reason. And you? Are you one of them? Do you think that education should start from the home itself? We think so.
Really true!
