The answer to that should be no but if it's yes please feel free to share your opinions in the comments below. Where you want to admit it or not education is very crucial to us as Americans, it's as Patrick Henry said give me liberty or give me death...Well give me education or give me.. definitely not death but poverty. The deprivation of education will eventually lead to death of knowledge which leads to poverty and generations of stupidity. I know the school system will say "well you have to be self motivated" but self motivation isn't enough for the people who have no example of hardwork and persistence. It's harder than what people think really it is. Even the stereotypes that are dished out to each race plays a key role in our education. When one race is labeled as dummies sure enough they will get dumber the more you label them intelligent the more intelligent they will be. Of course I know stereotypes are not an excuse (of course not) but to give an example when you are teaching a dog a trick you repeatedly say it until they get it and sit down. Another example you have a baby, you name that baby, eventually your child will start answering to that name. So yeah stereotypes do play a part. Students should want more for theirselves because in the end we are the ones who need to get a job later on not our teachers who already have one. We need to take control and not allow all this bleh blah bleh get in our way. Its so hard I know but at the same time we can do it I wonder when we will finally get our act together and perform our very best. I know we should all want top notch edu. I will never wrap my head around just settling for something less. All I know is that as for me I will get me education to the fullest. I hope everyone finds the drive to want more..
