Schools and our children

Tweet

Does your child ever ask for help with their homework? Have they ever told you that they don't understand something? Now days they make it a requirement for children to attend school, unless they are home schooled. I have to say that teachers have a hard job. They have to teach children everyday, all day. Due to some of the laws, they have to teach the children a certain amount of subjects in a given year. But the sad thing is that they can't take their time doing it. They only have so long to review a topic, and then they have to move on. Unfortunately, this means that many kids do not get to fully understand what they were just taught, and all of a sudden they are having to learn something else. The teachers do not have the time to work one on one with the children that are having problems. I understand that the parents can work with the children at home when doing homework, but sometimes teachers can explain things better, in a way that children can understand. Do you think that the schools should hire more help to cut back on class size? I think that they should. It's better than passing a child, and forcing them to go on so that they get even further behind. I have heard teachers say that they can't help their students because there are so many in their classes, and they don't have the time to help each child that is having problems. I think that with all the money that the schools make they could afford some extra help to help our children. What are your views on this?
