Class Discussion Education Reflection

I really enjoyed this class discussion. It was unfortuante that the administrators didn't listen in on our conversation. Basically, everyone agreed about their feelings on our current education system. We all have had our experiences with bad teachers. One student said that it is unfair that people who want to learn, can't and those who can learn, don't. Some people are unfortuante and are not able to afford a good education. Often times, these are the people who want to learn. Other students have the opportunity to have a good education, but don't take an advantage of it. In high school, there are so many students who just don't care to be there. There is so much overcrowding, that we don't need students who don't care. I like that everyone agrees that only the good teachers deserve tenure. It is not fair that it takes so long to fire a bad teacher. I almost think that we should have another day to talk about this because there was so much more I wanted to say and I am sure others would say the same. It would be nice to have authority in the classroom so that students can actually have power in the education system.
