"School Would Be Great if it Weren't for the Kids" by Alfie Kohn matters because it stats that we should be blaming the students for the majority of drop outs and bad grades. Students are to blame, we are given the material and what we need to do to succeed but we just blow it off or don't put in the work ethic. This article matters to me because I know this is the truth and saw this in my self. It seems that blaming students for poor grades would be a great American past time, it should be like screaming at a baseball game. Instead the people that actually accuse the teachers wouldn't blame their kids because they're their little angles.
This article matters to education because everyone thought teachers need to up thier game, but the students need to carry thier own wieght too. The majority of Students always have blown off work or saved it for the last minute because we are too lazy to do it or we forget. Students do need to be blamed from a educational stand point. This article matters to the world because I think this idea has only struck the US, and everyone is just watching us for our next move against this very persuasive argument. Bennet and Buck are being dismal against each other with all the attack ads on the web. The world might soon follow, but will teachers, students, principles, etc, submit to this idea or just blow it off?
