Open to the Possibilities

This is a topic I want to touch on briefly. I might come back to this from time to time.

When you hear that people “dropped out” of school, your first thought it either college or high school.

Yet, there are some who drop out when they’re in middle school.

MIDDLE SCHOOL.

If that doesn’t give you a sense of how the education system is doing something wrong to help students succeed, I don’t know what do tell you.

I have nothing against those who drop out. Everyone has their struggles. I wish those regulating how school operated understood that everyone’s background is different, and that we all don’t have the same resources available.

It’s easy to compliment those who regularly do well, but it takes extra effort, time, dedication, to help those who need it.

That’s not to say we shouldn’t help those who already present themselves to do well, but we definitely should be making the effort to help those who struggle.

My first time linking a poll, so I hope this is okay. I want to know when did/does school start for you?

Hello, and welcome to this blog! I want this blog to focus and discuss education in the United States, as that’s where I live. I might talk about education outside the States from time to time as well. If you want to share your thoughts about your school experience, please do! I want this to be an open space where we can all openly discuss experience and what we can do to improve education for many of us.
