take to task some of the biggest
fallacies about formal education as well

number 5 if you’re getting bad grades
you just don’t care have a real problem
with motivating but I think I can do it
if a student is acting up in class and
consistently flunking tests teachers can
be too quick to assume that the people
in question simply isn’t interested or
invested in their education sometimes
this might be the case but outside
factors need to be taken into
consideration as well family life for
example significantly affects a child’s
performance at school furthermore there
are many different learning disabilities
out there that if left unaddressed can
hurt ability and engagement in the
classroom it’s easy to write off a
student who isn’t getting the material

proper context a letter grade is an
unfair assessment of their potential and

school boards have resorted to a
zero-tolerance policy for school
violence this policy administers harsh
punishments when a student exhibits even
the slightest sign of violent behavior a
fist fight can result in suspension or
even expulsion for the student under a
zero-tolerance regime the thing is
there’s no evidence suggesting that
schools implementing harsher punishments
like explosions or suspensions are any
safer we’re told that the tragic
destruction of youth and how we can
think to talk about is adequate warning
times and misused vocabulary words on
the other hand when we choose to expel a
child it can have serious negative
consequences that affect the student for
the rest of his or her life if a game of

shouldn’t be a life sentence number two
college admissions are based on merits

student is given 3.2 to 3.5 hours worth
of homework nightly the research on
effectiveness of homework has led to
many contradictory conclusions with most
studies arguing only a marginal
improvement in schoolwork while others
report no significant difference for
many the studies don’t matter
while homework is a foregone conclusion
an inherent part of the school
