School

School responsibilities Holly Sloney 3rd “Ughh I got another c on my math test, but that’s only because my teacher sucks at teaching.” A student says to her friend. At high school it is a lot of studying and test. Most students blame their successes on themselves for being smart but when they do badly it is the teachers fault. Do you agree with this' I mean that’s like saying it’s your boss’s fault you didn’t get all the paperwork done. Even though it was your responsibility. So I believe that in school you get the grade you earn and that the success of a student is their responsibility. As I said before, it is a student’s responsibility to have their homework done and study for tests. I think this because by the time you are in high school, you are almost an adult who will be on their own. So that’s means you will have to take care of yourself and be responsible for everything. Your parents won’t be there to help you all the time. So to help prepare for this you are responsible for everything you do in school. Sure your parents will be there to guide you a bit, but they are not going to baby you and make sure you have all your work done. The only way that anyone can truly be successful is if they help themselves. Why should anyone else do things to help you out' Well, they shouldn’t because it not their job to. On the other hand, some people say that parents are responsible for their kid’s success. Sure they have to keep their kids on track, but they can only do so much. Parents are not the one’s in class taking notes, and tests. I think it is a parent’s job to guide their kid in the right direction and encourage them. Ultimately, if a kid doesn’t care there is nothing a parent can do, and the future of us teenagers lies in our hands. So, once again, if a student wants to be successful they need to be willing to work hard and help themselves. They can’t rely on their parents and blame them when they fail. Another faulty belief is that teachers are responsible for a student’s success. Now, I believe that a teacher is there to teach them what they need to know. Also, teachers need to help them if they don’t understand, and finally prepare them for tests. Now, weather the student passes or not is up to them. It is up to the student to do the work and try hard. The teacher is there for support, not to do the work for the student. So, the teacher is just there to help you be successful, but not to do everything for you. As you can see everyone blames someone different for a student’s success. I think that high school students are almost adults therefore responsible for themselves. Sure, teachers do need to do a good job teaching them the information, but it is up to us to use that information and study it. Parents should just be there supporting us, and help us if we need it, but that’s all. Shortly we will be on our own so why not start now so we are ready.
