Public School Bad ?
Was at a friend house today afternoon playing scrabble , so his younger kid on year 6 came in .
I invite him to stay with us a bit .
After the scrabble round since i wasn’t leaving yet i told him to bring his book so we can read a bit ,then everything tasted bitter.
He said he doesn’t have any book from school ,i said no problem bring some other book you
got ,then he brought “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows”.
The reading started and : Oh my Lord !
He can’t read ,i mean a student of year 6 can’t read the book ,yet to say undersntand it.
I was so amazed i called the father and started asking questions : What’s going on ? because in
september coming the kid will start secondary school.
How is it possible i don’t know , yet the kid passed to next class up every year in school.
He doesn’t even know what’s vowel or consonant in the alphabet .
He doesn’t even know England anthem ,is just too weird for me.I can understand if he is not a
student .
Although the father try to give him a good environment and gadgets every kid want i think
the part of the problem lie there .The kid come from school ,straight to his psp ,then the
ds,then disney channel ,no reading or such thing .By the time he finished diner its bed time
then wake,school ,home with no home work and so on and on .
The father don’t read to the kid ,he uses the tv and the games as a learning tools ,when i asked
him ” he said i am too tired to read for him that’s why i bought all the gadgets he needed and
am a single dad “.
Yes! you are single dad but what about other millions single parents or full families facing the
same problems ?
Half of the problem lies i think in the education system or should say lies in the Public school
system where kids even they can’t read still passed the class ?
Is public school that bad ? or there is no more “Fail the class” ?
I mean is true that public school is not that great but if i have to send my kid to school and
back home still the same i rather educate him myself at home no offence to public school.
