Most teens in the city of Detroit wake up every morning around 6:15 and get ready for school, a place where most students dread.
School should be a place where teens are excited to come to everyday. Grades are a big factor. Most students don’t care about what they learn. They do anything to get the grade and go on to a higher level. People have lost sight of what grades are supposed to represent.
In today’s modern society, we have students with 2.0 grade-point averages and 32 ACT scores. The grades are not matching the knowledge.
Most students are eligible to do the work but too lazy. Test scores are phenomenal because students have the potential to do the work, but aren’t succeeding because their not being pushed in the correct direction.
Teachers don’t fulfill their parts either, because they aren’t pushing students like they use too, nor are they helping students.
Students look forward to snow days just so they won't have to come to a place where their opinion doesn't matter. School should be a place that students get prepared for whatever they plan to do with their lives. Students are so grounded on the grade, the main asset is missing: Knowledge
