...The Complications within the Public School System California College San Diego ENG 101 Composition The Complications within the Public School System We as humans aren't standardized in our thought process so why are there curriculums? We send our young ones to school to set them up for their future. We invest time into our children whether it is at home or at a place where learning is the main objective. How much are we really getting out of the system if it is all standardized? It seems like the public school system is set up so that they push kids straight through without the proper materials or support they need to succeed. We need to focus on the student as a whole and not as a piece of the percentage. Lack of Funding Lack of funding affects the school public school system in many ways. Without the proper funding, the students do not get the proper books they need in order to participate in class. If a school doesn’t have enough money to buy the necessary amount of books, then kids are now sharing or using books with missing pages. In more well off school districts they don’t have those problems. In many American inner cities, there is a lack of funding in public schools resulting in the use of old, damaged textbooks and some teachers using personal funds to purchase new books. Pennsylvania is one state that has a history with a lack of funding issues. “Pennsylvania’s school districts were, and continue to be, highly dependent on the local wealth of their communities...

Nowadays, private tutorials is something that mainly happens in most Egyptian families. Private tutorials may have limited advantages in educating students but has caused many disadvantages on students, teachers and parents. As private tutorials became more popular, many teachers as well as students started relying on them to get education or teach, for instance, a student may not attend a whole year of school and depend on private lessons to get his/her education. The ministry of Education in Egypt may be responsible of this problem because it doesn't set regulations that can reduce such a problem . The purpose of this essay is to demonstrate the issue of private tutorials and the causes and effects it has on the Egyptian society. One of the causes that leads students to take private lessons at home is the limitation of time in classes. Most of the public schools in Egypt accept a large number of students with less number of classes and teachers and with the short period of each class, teachers will not be able to educate that much students. According to Nourhan Ismail in her article "Private Lessons in Egypt", in Egypt, "classes consist of 40 to 60 students if not even more", therefore that large amount...

Background of the Study Students all over the world face a number of problems which dishearten them. There are so many issues they have to deal with- study, time, money, relationships, job hopes, and more. Parent’s previous experience and education does not always equip them in dealing with such pressures. Many students will not admit their problems due to various reasons and this may eventually hamper a student’s psyche. In Metro Manila, the most common problem a student encounter is their difficulty with certain academic subjects. Nowadays, most schools have five major subjects- Science, Mathematics, Social Studies, English, and Filipino. Although different opinions are made regarding these subjects, it is evident that certain factors affect the level of difficulty of the said subjects. One is the teaching method of the teachers. It is possible that the techniques, including the materials such as the visual aids or presentations used by the teachers, are not effective. Second...

Academic Problems. Teacher. Jordan ABSTRACT The study aimed to identify the classroom problems that faced teachers in public schools in Tafila province, and the proposed solutions. The samples of the study were 196 teachers from the public school in Tafila province. By using questionnaire to collect the data, the results of the study show that the mean of the behavioral problems was 2.66, and the mean of the academic problems was 3.08. Also, the researcher found that statistical significant differences refer to interaction between gender, level of school, and teaching experience in the behavioral problems for male in the basic school, those with work experience less than 5 years. Also, there are no statistical significant differences between gender, level of school, education degree, and teaching experience in the academic problems. The study did give some recommendations.

How to keep students on task in the science classroom. Coming up with activities that will spark imagination and fit the curriculum. THE NEED FOR SCIENCE INSTRUMENTS [pic] The need for more science apparatus cannot be overemphasized. Apparatus are a must in every science class. It is said that for science to be learned, it must be experienced; there must be adequate apparatus to experiment with. Several studies showed that the lack of standard science equipment in schools is the handicap of science teaching both in the elementary and high school levels. The same is also true for college levels. The lack of science instruments in practically every school in the Philippines may be attributed to our complete dependence on foreign suppliers until very recently, instruments made in Europe, America and Japan, demand very high prices, which the average...

...year student in college of business and accountancy. My mother is a vendor in a sari-sari store while my father is a vulcanizer. And despite of the poverty, I am very blessed that I did not stop and continue right now in studying. The reason why I say that I am blessed, because I observed in our own community that there were many children who are not enrolled in school, even in public schools only. The main cause that I’ve think why this things happen is because they are not interested in studying, their parents did not allow them to go-off for school or they have medical problems. They are not interested: because if their interest is on studying they will find a way on how they can enroll in school. They can work in some stores in the market while studying or they can sell some foods or things that are needed in school which his/her classmates will buy as a part of his/her income and save so that he/she might use this as a tuition fee. Their parents did not allow them to go-off for school: maybe because they are strongly needed in their home or their parents did not afford to send them on school even on the public schools because they were so...

It is not easy for irregular students to have a very complicated class schedule just to enroll subjects they need and to be with different type of people in every class. For some students, it would be difficult to approach new faces in every class and it would be tiring to have a busy class schedule with hardly any vacant time in between class period. Irregular students often encounter many problems on their academic subjects. The quality of problem can be labeled as severe to a simple type of problem encountered.
