Is It Possible To Fail And Still Graduate On Time

It is Possible to Fail and still Graduate on Time

There are more than 30 percent of kids across the nation that fail school (Heller,Keller). However, some of these kids still fail but, rethink, comeback, and succeed, and still graduate on time.

We grow up in a society where each year more and more children succeed at failing. Some blame students, some blame parents, most blame teachers. Some schools are changing their system to make sure more kids graduate on time.

Most kids fail because if today's grading system and because we take to many tests. Teachers except kids to remember all of what they teach through the years. Students forget more than 50% in the next 2 ½ years(Pawlowski, A). So, after we forget that information, teachers think

Parents used to be hard headed when their kids failed and would punish their children. However nowadays, if a parent was to punish their kid they would be frowned upon. So, parents started letting their children fail, because supposedly it is better for the children. Some parents don’t parent enough. There is a fine line between under parenting and overparenting, and parents need to lean towards overparenting. They need to be on their kids to get homework and assignments done. Instead of being the cool laid back parents they need to stick their foot up their kids behinds and be a little tough on them. Parents in present day are also very responsive and less demandingness. What this means is that parents would rather react and get their point across than look at both situations. They’d rather hear their child’s story of why they are failing, then when they have a meeting with the teacher, they bash the teacher and blame the teacher for their child failing when in reality the teacher did nothing wrong. This allows their child to do whatever and basically get away with anything in class. The reason this is bad is because the teacher will have to step on eggshells around certain children because of this situation and this also causes a learning deficiency with some of the students because they won’t care about the class. The last problem with parents is simply they won’t let their child learn. Some schools do teach

It seems that every year more and more students don’t graduate on time. Students face very frustrating issues other than just teachers and parents. Some of these issues can be from the lack of planning. Some students don’t know what's gonna happen to them when they get out of high school (Anshuetz, Nika). Students don’t really look at the future they look at the present and when the future comes, they find themselves stuck in a rut. It’s because students don’t take advantage of advising (Anshuetz, Nika). This causes students to fall behind and get behind until they basically give up on education. Students also get signed up for unnecessary courses. In schools the counselors are the ones who choose which courses each student gets. When students are freshman and sophmores, they can forget requesting classes they are bottom of the school. Even when you hit junior, and sophomore years, the counselor’s may repeat classes you have already took. If you repeat a class you already have credit for you’re just basically taking the same class over again and not getting anything for it. Extra credit might not help you in the long run (Anschuetz, Nika). Students should make sure that they are taking classes that are required to graduate. This also, brings it to a point that counselors should have their students backs and should give them classes that are required to
