Students think school is not a fun place to go to. “We” don’t understand when it’s time for play and when it’s time to work for your future. The teachers have to be able to engage students with they’re teachings and involve some activities for students to be interested in continuing coming to classes. Bringing happiness in a student’s education can be, what they enjoy doing and maybe they would learn more of it and engage in that activity. Many people struggle with finding happiness in education but they need to learn about themselves. They need to learn what they are interested in and once they do, they’ll find that they are happier in what they’re learning. If a student is interested in what he or she is doing, they will strive at it. Society has labeled education as being math, science and literature. This however, isn’t necessarily true. Students should find an activity or subject they love the most and do their best at it. In Ken Robinson’s speech, “Do Schools Kill Creativity?” he mentioned a girl who loved to dance but teachers had thought she had a learning disorder. The girl was put in a theatre arts school it was filled with people like her. Students that loved to dance. She loved being around people who were “just like her”. The point Robinson made is that students should find what they love, what they’re passionate about and do well at it because it decreases some of the intensity school brings.
I look at education as a privilege, something that I have to do. Have to work hard at it to be successful. I am doing my best but I have to say I am unhappy to be a student for the quarter of my life I’m in school. I do not take my education seriously, which i know i have to. I was actually forced to register for classes this semester because of my mother. I did not want to go straight to school from high school. I’m so stressed out with school work and work now. I’m a full time student and a full time worker. I have no time to do any reading or assignments for my classes and if i do they all late. I can’t concentrate in class because half the time I’m to sleepy to even do so. I do realize my bad habits but i honestly don’t think that i can change that anytime soon. Only because I’m a full time worker and student that don’t even have time to take a 9hours sleep like a normal person. I enjoy learning yes, but i just can’t do all the work that comes after the learning.
