Higher Education Means Higher Expectations

Tweet

Higher education means having higher expectations. I don't have children at the moment but I might in the future and I want what is best for them. I do however have friends who have children in schools. I keep up with what is going on in the schools through them. I am seeing a decline in the teacher's competency. Lack of communication with parents. Misgrading homework as well as exams which has an effect on the students overall grades. It is expected that you have a few missed messages and make a mistake and miss grades here and there they are human. What is not expected is for the teachers to consistently do so and have a total disregard for your attempts to contact them. I feel that if you can't do the job and the tasks that it entails that you should move aside and allow someone who can do so. If a school allows teachers to get by with not doing their job well then you are hurting the children which are the country's future. I have high expectations of the educators and the education system. It is crucial that they are held to a higher standard. Their role in society is one of the most important besides parenting. Our children are influenced by these people in their lives the most. I want to know that when I am old and the children are grown up that we don't have a bunch of kids who don't know anything. Which is where it seems to be going if we keep quiet and do nothing.
