The Issue of Student Preparedness

The denomination titled Teaching Responsibility deals with the act of naturalise-age child take a shitdness after spirited school. The article brings up the recent flake of Jonathan Govias who is suing his hole-and-corner(a) high school stating that the school did non specify him for university. The article goes on to give two examples, one in Virginia and one in Ontario of how these types of problems argon macrocosm dealt with. The editor in chief agrees s that the school system of rules should be held more responsible for its graduates, moreover constitutes it clear that legalityyers only complicate matters.I believe that Jonathan Govias study should be perceive in a court of law due to the fact that schools pack a certain responsibility and if it is not met whence something leases to be done close to it. I am in heart and soul disagreement with the Ontarios school computer program to undertake rid of this problem and am a total fan of the Virginia voyag e project, beca example un corresponding the Ontario programme they ar in truth looking to help the students and not their avow pockets.After dropping out of his first of only year engineer program at the university of Alberta, Jonathan Govias decided to sue his alma mater for a total of $140,000 claiming that the school failed to fully prep ar him for what university had in store for him. Jonathan att oddmented a snobby school, and as we all bash private schools charge a great amount of money in rate to provide a better pedagogy for its students. That is why parents enroll their children in private schools. Jonathan after graduating got accepted in the engineering program, which is a hard program to get into since a high average is necessary. hidden education costs money, therefore make it a business that provides services and same(p) both other business should be held responsible if their services fail, or does not meet the standard that the school promises to meet. I believe that the school is very frequently responsible for Jonathans post second-string education. Private schools take pride in the fact that they can provide a better education than public schools and that they organise their students with the tools they need to choke in the university world.It is excessively important to note that this case has not yet been decided in favour of Jonathan and that Jonathan should be presumption a pass off to prove himself. The fact that this action against the private school is taking place shows that Jonathan has scantily cause for his decision to take his case before the judge. The next area the editor deals with is what Ontario is doing to solve the problem of student preparedness. A key per boundance indicator look backward leave behind soon be in effect. This review go out look at the employment rate of the former students as well as a work of what employers think of the quality of the graduates.In the end it is said that up to six share of a colleges provincial governance funding depart be touch by these results. This way the schools with successful students will get more funding, where as the schools who do not do well will be faced with excommunicationbacks. Cutbacks in any way shape or form are a bad thing. We are already facing cutbacks in the elementary, junior-grade high and high school levels. These cutbacks are the direct reason for the inadequacy of student preparedness, and now partnership colleges are in for it.It is interesting that Ontario is going to enforce these rules to community colleges and not to universities. I would like to make out why. I do not construe how cutbacks are going to help a college that already is not doing well. You magnate as well shut the school pop because with these cutbacks that Ontario has in store for the colleges, the school might as well close its doors. On the other hand Virginia has come up with an idea that will help its students. In aver for the schools to be held accountable they have come up with a master project that provides its students with educational warranties.This way if a student requires remedial education at heart two long time, the school board will cover the costs. This is how Virginia is dealing with the graduates lack of basic skills. This design by Virginia seems to me to be a better way to make a difference, and shows that they are putt their students first. First thing I would like to point out is that the plan by Virginia is a pilot project, meaning that it is before long at its test phase, therefore we moldinessinessiness wait for the results to see if it is a plan to be adopted by all school board districts.With that in sagacity the pilot project is still a great idea. For one it holds the schools responsible for their actions and keeps a close eye on the schools accomplishment but does not have cut backs in mind. Students are now given a second calamity to make things right. It is known that the high school years are hard on adolescence and that legion(predicate) find it hard to cope with the changes that are constantly taking place. Unlike the Ontario plan this projects does not close any doors on its students.The pilot project undertaken in Virginia gets the thumbs up because it puts the students first by providing them with a chance at a unattackable education, which in the end is the soul purpose of an educational institution. Study hard parents tell you. altogether your life you hear that in order to succeed in life you must study hard, get a good education and make something of yourself. One must not forget that the school is too responsible for its actions and responsible for providing a operative education. Unfortunately these days the high school diploma does not matter oftentimes to people, it is the post-secondary piece of paper that counts.Well plainly one needs a square-toed high school education in order to be able to survive in the post-secon dary world. We as a parliamentary law need to be concerned with the lack of student preparedness. These students lacking basic skills are going to run the future world. We need to nip this problem through the use of projects such as the one introduced in Virginia. As we enter the millenium, we need to hear that investments in our future are crucial. By providing a better education we prepare our children for all the advancements that we are headed for.
