Problems With Public Education In Society

By Miranda Sweeney


Everyone living on this planet want to attend school and gain a spectacular job one day. Unfortunately there are problems with public education within the United States that cannot easily be resolved. Too many teachers are being fired from their job and the students are lacking any type of discipline. Other issues which face the school system include overcrowded classrooms, disorderly students, not enough books, non healthy lunches, school bullying, school shootings and teen pregnancy.

Unfortunately there are so many schools in America that have fired so many great teachers. Georgia, Alabama, New York, California and even New Jersey have decided to cut their budget in 2014. There are quite a few superintendents who make huge salaries within these states and they are not willing to take a cut in pay. Therefore so many of the teachers find themselves out of a job because of this particular issue.

Youngsters who attend these schools will really pay the ultimate price since they will not receive good services. When a school decides to slash its budget the classroom size will be double. More students within a room do not receive the individual care from a teacher. She/he may have too many issues to tackle and they rarely have an assistant helping them.

Good pupils may become involved in drug usage or other disturbing behavior once they are forgotten by the school system. Numerous fights will happen within these crowded classes that were once calm. The educator will not care about any of these pupils at all and she/he will only want to collect a paycheck each month. The violence towards students and teachers will continue to grow within these learning facilities.

There are never enough books to go around within a normal inner city school. Students are always receiving used items that are sometimes torn apart or missing certain pages. This causes them to feel like second class citizens who are not really appreciated by the school board members.

Children who are lucky enough to live in the richer parts of town are often treated to new school materials that have not been used. Parents who place their youngsters into private schools do not have to worry about anything negative happening to their offspring. It is also a well known fact that bullies exist more in poorer schools since many of these individuals come from homes which are divided.

Rules are rarely implemented on a daily basis when a child is living with a single mom. Young people who do not have a positive male figure in their life do not really care about themselves or anyone else in society. Over the past few years citizens everywhere have witnessed more school shootings and teen pregnancies around America.

The young females who get pregnant do not want to take the time to finish their school education once this event has happened. Unfortunately society will get more and more young girls involved in the welfare system when they have to leave school to support an infant. Besides this tragedy anyone can gain access into a non private school and open gun fire on teachers and students.
