hi everyone
um I have a quick question for you and
my question is what are a few issues
that may come to mind when I mention
education in
schools
um what comes to my mind is to have more
teachers in our
schools I did some research and to
increase my knowledge about education
issues school education
issues um there are many issues that may
come to mind when people mention school
education my three main
points
that I would like to discuss or talk
about today is
attendance resources
and mental health and
discipline my proposition for schools is
that attendance and support systems for
schools should be put in
place now when I'm talking about
attendance
um some points that I want to mention is
lack of learning opportunities
not being for
students because it might mean that they
are not able to pursue in their bigger
academic achievements or just
achievements in general that they might
have another thing is by increasing
their
knowledge
also um if they lack attendance it will
um it wouldn't increase their social or
emotional
learning another thing about attendance
that I also like to mention is that it
might affect the classroom morale as
well now if students don't show
up that might affect their state testing
at the end of the year and it can affect
the school's overall score and their
Federal funding
that
helps with running the school and money
for them to get materials and stuff like
that another thing is that it might lack
um some learning
structure such as group activities group
projects and other group things that the
teacher might um want to do in class
now the other thing that I also want to
discuss is about
resources one thing that might be
helpful is
tutoring um it can support some students
who might be struggling with learning
the school
material
um and it might help them kind of feel
like they are getting the support that
they
need through
tutoring the last thing that I also want
to discuss is mental health and
discipline one thing that might be
helpful is to support the struggling
students um might be helpful for them to
understand the material a lot better or
give them like extra like Hands-On
things that might also help
them and also maybe having the teachers
kind of have figure out a fun way to
explain the material to
students that the students might
enjoy and might think that oh this will
help me
and keep me
going one thing that might be um also
helpful is
to have less cell phone
use when I was back in high school we
had these little Cubbies to put our cell
phone in when we first walked in the
door that was at the front desk um it
definitely helped the students
to have less distractions and focus on
their uh schoolwork and
the
respect for not only teachers but also
the classroom environment as
well the last thing that I also want to
mention is the is having more mental
health staff such as counselors or
therapists it might help students that
might have issues with depression or
having difficulties at
home I just want to sum up the three
main points that I discussed through
throughout the speech which is
attendance resources and mental health
and
discipline I think that we can all agree
that we need to support people who are
current teachers and also people that
want to become teachers to give them the
resources they need thanks
