As someone whos in Year 11 I can honestly say the education system sucks and its not the teachers fault I love all my teachers...almost all, but the education system is horrible. Its all about exams exams exams instead of education education education and its more like a business with the big boys profiting around exam season. Also its hard to actually learn anything in lessons when you have the bad kids in it, and they constantly want to be the main attention. Also there are a few rotten teachers who don't know how to engage a class, break things down easily and control everyone, and I'm left having to just self-teach, your teaching Children and Teenagers and should adapt to captivate their interests also. Another thing Stop bloody reforming The Assessment system it really just makes us groan when some annoying pr*ck in Westminister or Parliament think they know whats best for all the children in the country, and they constantly reform things like GCSEs left right and center. Theres no point reforming the exam system if you don't fix education first so people can actually learn more efficently
Another thing I hated most in my Yr 7-10 years is PE I used to loathe seeing it on my timetable that I would activeky and purposely forgetting my PE Kit and having to forge notes as to why I didnt have it, Schools should actually group kids according to their Physical abilities not just chuck them all in together, I still remember how much I dreaded doing football matches on a cold Monday morning and us less able kids being forced into goal and missing every single one and the backlash when we did. PE places too much importance on Competitive sports and on the Sporty people when really you should be focusing on fitness, football isn't the only sport or form of exercise give kids a Choice so they actually put in effort, and are wanting to do PE, the problem with the education system if the close-mindedness of the cirriculum.
I think schools should also have an absolutely 0% tolerence to bullying and what I mean by that is not "Oh lets give him a billion more chances" I mean actually be serious about it, I can't tell you how many kids in my year group has moved schools because of bullying, School should be a place where we could work towards our future not play hide and seek from our tormentors, this is why people hate School because not only do us kids have to deal with the heavy workload but also navigate the complicated construct of the social side of school. And all the Government can think about is exams. How can kids get the knowledge if they're too busy trying to avoid school or half-asleep because of the crap we make them endure. If Kids are bullying other children, I think they should be suspended or excluded immediately we know right from wrong, Students who are often being bullied also have nowhere to turn to because they might be a "grass" or a "snitch".
Until someone actually addresses these isssues don't expect the UK to perform well compared to other countries like China who actually enstill their children with discipline.
Another thing the education system doesn't take into account is the world we live in with: Social media (Twitter, Snapchat, Youtube) and Technological Advancements and things like Playstations Netflix, television, Its not like how it was years ago when all you had was freeview and brick phones. And the System should adapt to that. Its hard to pick up your textbooks with everything around you and the era we live in. Believe it or not, everyone on TSR doesn't account for the whole education system, we're tiny compared to that.
Which brings me to my next point, kids and education should be made equal for everyone and should all get the same level of resources, kids can't help what family or life they're born into. Everyone should have equal footing across examination boards. And for my next point Exam Boards, I think IMO we should have one examining body. And thats it for my rant I only pray for the next wave of kids that have to adhere to the *******s at the department for education.
