Are schools giving students enough opportunity-AJ


  • Kids in school have been known to learn and to grow slower or faster than others. This causes schools to give such classes like special education classes and also intermediate or advance classes for the outstanding students that do well in a specific subject. Many kids have been known to be good at different kinds of things like for example, some kids may be really good art rather than studies and some kids could be bad at some subjects, but they could really succeed in many others. In school many parents have inferred that school has been also killing student's creativity. This has been proven as a true point because many school standardized teaching methods only really show students or enforce them to do a problem in one way and one way only, but know schools have slowly started show kids different ways to look at or interpreting things in different ways to get the same exact result each time. Now an argument has been created stating that students should be given more opportunity in their classes while others say that students are getting enough opportunity in their schools.
  • Many parents have said that schools have not giving students their righteous amount of individual opportunity. A mother in Pennsauken,Pennsylvania would believe that her son has not been given enough individual opportunity in his school. For example, A boy named Jacob had just entered his new middle called Ridge wood and it was his first day of going to sixth grade. His mom at the begging of the summer  started to prep him for his classes he was going to come across in sixty grade and she taught him above the standard curriculum. He had taken a standardized test on his first day to see how smart he was. He had received the score in his mom's mail finding out that he got a 100% which 86% was the score to pass the test. He had been very confident in his subjects that he was stating to prevail, and his first semester report card grades had really shown that he was doing very well. He had even asked his mom if she could ask the principal to put him in a higher class.
  • Jacob's mom did think he was doing really good with his regular classes, so she had left an email to the principal and asked him to review her son's grades. The principal reported back saying that all good students still have to do and go to the basic classes because the all the advanced classes there were had been completely filled because Jacob's test was one of the last graded. She was kind of upset because after a while of the school year had passed her son had still been saying that his school was too easy and that he wanted a challenge. She told his teachers, but most of them did nothing, and two of them made him tutor some special Ed. kids because he was one of the first to finish his schoolwork. The mom had been tired and had complained to the principal, so the principal had found out that Jacob had been doing better than one of the kids in the advanced classes so Jacob had finally gotten swapped and given more of a challenge.
  • On the other hand, many people believe that nowadays schools have been giving kids more opportunity. Many parents have said that in their children school students have been immediately put in their advanced classes if they did an outstanding job on Parcc in their previous year. When they get into their classes they give more competitive opportunity to such as math competitions and computing Algebraic problems.Schools have been giving more opportunity by letting kids have many productive events such as science fairs for their talent of engineering. They have also created advanced classes for kids who are talented in things Art,music,instruments,Spanish, and even Physical Education. People have said that schools have been expanding on Children's opportunities.
  • Many schools have shown that kids should have a tremendous amount of opportunity, and that some have lacked thoroughly in that specific aspect. Kids can be given opportunity for all there talents and they can be put into higher levels. Another new thing is that schools have not been giving kids the freedom of creativity and that is something that many school administrators are try to incorporate with kids learning in school.
