A Greatly Troubled System - School

The formal education system used in today’s schools is greatly troubled indeed. We are
oblivious to the hundreds of thousands of students oppressed by
tyranny that encapsulates our schooling system. From homework and
grades to the progression of school; schools need changes. This
system stands waiting, while the talents of many young men and women
are exposed to a backward system with hypocritical framework. One of
the many examples is the policy of homework. It seems that this tends
to be abused to give students mere busy work, while students in their
free time should be relaxing, and doing activities they enjoy. Yet
another flaw among the many, is the grading methods used today.
Afterall, a letter or percentile could never fully represent a human
being’s interpretations, with many positive and negative sides and
emotions. These "judgements” tend to cause for great stress and are
in effective. Finally the last point to be stated in this essay
(seeing as if all the points were stated this would turn into a novel

time that should be used to do other productive activities. Homework
causes much stress to students which leads to the deterioration of
interest in learning and eventually all hatred of anything school
related. As Mark Twain so beautifully put it, "Don’t let your
schooling interfere with your education.” This quote referring to the
fact that experience in life can be gained outside of school in great
abundance and proves the production of a much better education than
that of sitting in a class-room scribbling characters onto paper.
With a slightly longer and more efficient school day, time could be
optimized and homework could be abolished in its entirety. A true
balance of work and play could be formed leading to a bounteous and
supreme education. The formal education system could be incredibly
more productive and beneficial if our system of merit was modified.
The ‘godly’ judgement made by teachers seems to have taken on
catastrophic influence; such influence that could change the life of
