ways to improve education system for kids

I feel like I haven't taken my education until recently and I feel like if I knew now what I did when I was little I'd be better informed to take my education seriously. Grade school are the years where a student should really start to follow a positive routine in their education that'll lead to success.

What I'd do is give the students a more active roll in their class choices, like choosing their class schedule, Id give the young students a chance to apply for scholarships based on their GPA. Even if it's a public school, the scholarship could be used for their college education. Maybe these things are all available for kids in grade school but I probably didn't care enough or aware enough of how much they impacted my future. Schools should raise awareness of how much the average college tuition is and the average pay of a person in today's economy.

Schools need to help kids face the hard truth that life sucks if you don't get your s*** together and work hard even from a young age and have a clear idea of where you're going in terms of profession.

I think parenting in the early years may be best to improve how children approach education. If you show your children that you've worked hard in school and it payed off and you show them how to work hard and inform them of the benefits of their hard work, they'll take their work more seriously.

Now, how much pressure/stress you put on the child to do well depends on what age they are but It should increase the further they get in their education.

The beautiful thing about education is it will always be there. I left school when I was 15; mostly because I was an angry little pot head who wanted nothing more than to have a good time. Got a job, made some money, blew most of it, realised "what the f*** am I doing with myself?" So once I got the can from my last job I decided to study up, pass a few aptitude tests and get my education on my own back!

I do agree that school should be more engaging for young people today. Some schools really pull it off, others not so much. Allot of young people don't understand the importance of education until they get older and think "hey, I cant do much without an education" but thankfully there are FLO programs nowdays for students who aren't getting much out of mainstream schooling, and there are trades that students can do instead, other courses, it doesn't stop at school any more!

There's a great argument for both sides of the stick when it comes to schooling. It really comes down to what we as individuals want out of life and the way we go about it.

Ways to improve education system for kids huh? I have a great idea.

Teach kids to learn about the material. To understand it. To utilize it for real world purposes. Not to try and make the grade, or to be at the top of their class, or to memorize and regurgitate as much information as humanly possible only to forget it all next year completely.

Also, encourage and entice girls to take engineering based courses for extra credit or extra incentives for doing so.

Make it easier for headteachers to fire teachers who aren't pulling their weight. A teacher who can't do their job or control a class is just wasting everyone's time but it can be quite difficult for their bosses to find good grounds to get rid of them without risking an unfair dismissal suit.

More freedom for teachers to teach what they want instead of following national curriculum to the letter.

Get rid of exams completely. They only demonstrate memory skills, not real knowledge. Plus they create way too much pressure for developing young minds.

Build more schools and set a class size limit. A smaller class provides greater learning but smaller classes can only realistically be achieved by either a giant school or more smaller ones. Hence build more schools. Perhaps if their weren't so many churches all over the place?

Teach children how to code from their first day at school. Also teach child care. The latter is important for learning what not to do when raising a child.

Stop teaching Shakespeare in English class. It's too hard to understand unless you are taking part in the plays.

These two paragraphs somewhat contradict eachother. It's hard for teachers to measure success of a classroom if you don't have a set idea of what the class needs to learn

Children know when they are learning and when they aren't. Considering that they have big mouths it wouldn't take long for a head teacher to catch on if a teacher wasn't performing.
