Changes to the school system


Changes to the school system
The Issue
Children these days don't want to be at school, why because school has became a chore, its not a happy place anymore many schools are like a camp. Many parents are battling daily to get their children to school.
Children have evolved but the education system hasn't. There's not enough support for our neurodivergent children.
How many parents are now homeschooling?
The education systems not been changed for so long they just keep adding to subjects. We need to be getting with the times, teaching children about things that apply to today's society. Learning about finances, how to be an adult etc.
Our society wouldn't be how it is if children were taught how to live, school needs be fun again where children have a passion to be there.
Why are our children still learning the same things that were taught 100 years ago. Human rights in some schools don't apply, not allowed to use the toilet, or if poorly told to still go in because children have became just a number for attendance.
If things don't change we are still going to have a lot of children not attending school, getting into crime, and not being successful.
We need to act now and push for change for our future generations.
As a parent of 3 children, 2 of which are of school ages. I've had so much hassle and struggle daily with my children. Hating school, to teachers not helping them, from not being able to use the toilet and nearly having accidents in school, for being told to go into school even when not well enough (because of attendance) the list is endless. My partner and I are even considering for our youngest not to attend school when he becomes of age because of how the system is.
