Do you feel like the educational system isn't set up right? Do you feel like you are being forced to do things that are going to be useless later on in life? Well now I have a way to resolve this issue and make everybody happy about going to school. To start off, schools shouldn't be something kids dislike, it should be something they look forward to. My resolution to this is to reduce the amount of days we have to go to school and have much less homework so that students have more time to do other activities. In my opinion, the weekend is too short and doesn't provide enough time to do the things you want. Students still stress out about school on the weekends because they either got homework on Friday or there is a huge test coming up that they need to study for. The classrooms make you feel like you're trapped in a box and forced to listen to a teacher and if you don't, your future will be ruined. Most students feel like if they don't do well in school their life in the future will be miserable and they give up right on the spot. My idea of a great way to run the school system is to let students do their work whenever they want so that they're not pressured and stressed out. We should be able to do our homework calmly so that we can actually learn what were doing and not have to rush through it just to get enough sleep. Teachers say that they know we get homework in other classes but do they really understand how much we get and how hard it can get? I just wish they could live a day being a student in this generation and have advanced courses and important tests so that they can see how difficult it is. Also, a few teachers say stuff like,"I'm feeling nice today so I'm only going to assign problems 1 though 30". This is nonsense because if the teacher was really feeling nice they wouldn't give us homework at all. There should be one week of school where the teachers become students and the students become the teachers so that teachers can really understand how it is to be us. On this week students will assign the teachers loads of homework and test them on plenty of different things. In order to learn more and memorize things better, students should be able to do their homework when they're ready for it and teachers should not pressure them. The school system is so broken because not all students are equipped with the required skills to do well in school. Some students just don't have the ability to be as good as others. The school system is not fair and students should protest. Students should be able to go to whatever classes they want and come to school whenever they feel like it. If someone wants to get a career, then let them come to school as many days as they like. If someone wants to work at a fast food restaurant then don't be forcing them to learn useless stuff that they don't need. Everybody should be able to choose the level of education they need and want. A new setup in schools should be that students shouldn't be forced to participate in activities they don't feel like because this only makes them hate school even more. If you think about it, most students dislike school simply because of the fact that they get a lot of homework and that school is too long. Like I said before, the best way to resolve this is by having less school days and less homework. There should only be 3 days of school a week from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Another thing would be to reduce the amount of periods from six to four. Another reason why students dislike school is that they have to get up early. Entering at 10:00 AM will fix this issue. My final idea for fixing the school system is to not have school at all. Parents should all stay home and teach their kids everything they know. The parents will be paid and the students will be much more comfortable working and learning at home. Imagine staying at home with your siblings and learning everything you need to know from your parents. This would be the best solution in my opinion and there would be more jobs for other people who don't have kids. To expand on this, parents would be getting paid more than minimum wage and their kids would be learning everything they need to know at the same time. Your parents were your first teachers now why not have them be your only teachers forever? Like this, people would be more comfortable learning and could have everything they need right at home. Students wouldn't need to be carrying their heavy backpacks across campus and some wouldn't have to walk to and from school everyday. In the end, there are many ways to fix the educational system and us students should be the ones to choose how to fix it. Who's with me?!
