School?

Schools in America today are in desperate need for reform. In American high schools today there lies some problems we all can t ignore. The first problem is attendance and the rules behind it. Another is parents not caring or giving there kids the values they need. Finely there are the students who don t care about school at all.

First of all, there is a legal reason that students must attend school. By law each student must complete a specific amount of school days per year, 186. If a student fails to meet these requirements, actions will be taken. For example, if a student misses more than nine unexcused days that student and his parents must meet with administration. It is the administration s decision whether or not to make that student attend night school or to hold that students credits. It is then up to the student to determine weather or not he/she will make a future for themselves.

Another problem is parents. We as parents must provide our kids with a future because lets face it, without an education our children have no future. It s the parent s responsibility to make sure our children attend school. If your child is ditching or skipping classes, it should be the parent s responsibility to discipline that child and find a solution. Often times parents think it is the teachers responsibility to find an answer for their children missing classes, when in fact it s not.

In conclusion there are many problems with our schools, and not all of them have answers. We are all to blame for the problems and finding a solution to these problems is necessary. We as a society must come together to correct the problem standing in front of us. Only then can we stop the problem where it stands.
