America's Education is FAILING! Blame the teachers?

[lionking4277]

Have you noticed something? People loved to say/comment something and no one is showing any solution. If there is a solution. It is merely the same solution than the older one? Majority of the students that are having problems are what we called the STRAGGLERS! 20-60% per class are stragglers. I have managed to solve that problem by teaching 100% including the stragglers. I'm talking about elem. kids K1 to 5th graders. If we teach these group of kids to the max. Then we will achieve success!

[lionking4277]

Middle & h.s. students who are straggling are the product of our elementary kids who did struggle during those early years! If we fail our elementary kids then what do we expect from them in middle and h.s.? Everybody must concentrate in our elem. kids. Did you know that Kindergartens and 1st graders can start multiplying? Did you know that 3rd graders are having difficulty multiplying? It is a simple solution! Those above questions are all true! Q: How can we teach that young?

My first student at the age of 5 who just started her K1. Can solve all these: 500-389 / 798+179 / 56X25 / 2 4/7 + 1 1/14 her grade level at that time was 4.7 grade level. Possible? Was she a brilliant child? No! She was just like everyone else! I have repeated that again & again to other kids as a volunteer in a public school & everyone who I've in contact with manage to solve with me with great results! Sometimes, in minutes they start solving w/ me. Imagine if we all do that!

Of coarse you can do what I just did! Just follow my lead and see for yourself how far you can go! Amazed yourself for once!

[lionking4277]

As a volunteer in a public school. I didn't ask my students if they were taught by their parents at home. I grabbed a marker; start teaching those kids who can't solve their basic elem math & after1-2 hrs later they all start solving w/ me. I mean ALL of them! Nothing is wrong w/ their parents. How did I teach those kids? My answer? One word TEACH! Teachers go to youtube..channel .. lionking4277.. it's free! If you don't like it! Trash it!

[lionking4277]

Teaching is my passion! Elementary basic math is my specialty. Go to youtube ..channel ..lionking4277 and watch my videos on how to teach basic math successfully! It's a free site! If you are a veteran/rookie teacher and still struggles to teach 100% in your class? Check my videos.Got nothing to lose. Trash it! If you don't like it! But remain open and you will see the reward in your class success! If you like my videos wait till my division and fractions comes next!

[lionking4277]

PARENT? Now it is the parents fault to why kids aren't learning. If you walk right now in a public school. Give the 3rd;4th;5th graders a basic math test about addition/subtraction regrouping. Around 30 to 50% average per school can't solve those basic math. That is what I did! An A school here in Palm Beach after that pretest exam I gave. 74 students total can't solve regrouping add/subtraction per grade level. It took me 2-3 hours to teach ALL 74 students & they began solving in front of me.

One point in our life we need some kind of support. If you are a judge, fisherman or a teacher. We need some form of a tool and educate ourselves more to become a good servant to society. I have something to offer to teachers. Go to youtube channel.... lionking4277 and watch the simplest elem. math/ how teach all your students 100% including stragglers! Check it out! If you don't like it! Trash it! You got nothing to lose...leave some comments. Thanks!

@lionking4277 I have a lot more hope for teaching elementary math to 5th graders than I do for teaching trigonometry to 12th grade thugs. It would take a magician to get those kids caring about their course material. 

[lionking4277]

@Hoop Everything you said about thugs are true!! And the same time we create this problems because we don't take care of them when they are still young. It goes farther & farther to middle & h.s. not learning anything. That's my point, if only we teach them when they are in K1 to 5th grade; then we have excited them through learning. It is the elementary kids we should focus; teach them their basics; energized their foundations; & see the domino effect later in middle & h.s.!

[Sooners4ever25]

Teachers are their to teach kids but if the kids don't want the education then let them fail. I've seen so many teachers try so hard to get students to care but at some point the teachers have to show tough love. Let them fail and then they will see that your serious. It's the students and teachers fault.

[ozzhead2066]

Teachers are starting to care less about kids because it's just job. But for the teachers out there who look at this more then a job and try THANK YOU!

@blindedbyforce: any logical person wouldn't expect a parent to be a good role model?  That's interesting...

[blindedbyforce]

I love how you say to blame the parents, yet they are products of the same educational system. HOW the **** do you expect them to be good role models? Any logical person wouldn't expect them to. Read @jct09100 's comment and it will do you some good.

[jct09100]

Besides.. What do parents know about education? Lmao

Only in the USA you have a tv show for adults named "are you smarter than a fifth grader? The teachers before you didnt educate the parents and now you want those parents to turn around and educate those children? Get real

[jct09100]

Some things are to be learned at home. Moral values, social skills, and all the things that affect the well being and social and physical development of a child. But as for algebra, physics, chemestry,and grammer, it's the teachers' job. Quit your whining and do your fkin job. It's what you get paid for. Parents have enough on their plate working 2.5 jobs just to put a roof over their kids head and food on their table. And cook and clean and take care of the whole household. Do your job!

[ShEEpD0g13]

Guess whos blaming the teachers........ any guesses?? it's the PARENTS!!!!

[lionking4277]

Parents send their kids to school. Teachers can't teach! Teachers blame their parents for failing. The School District change their school standard each year. Each year the school fails to teach the school standard. Then the District change the school standard again! Then the students are confused! What happened to the last school standard? The student asked? Teachers s can't teach so you kids fend for yourself. We can't do it! Because it's your parents fault! Student, why do i go to school for?

[Muteki856]

Just keep kicking that can America like you been doing since the 80's n 90's! An early millennium! Third world nations are passing you out! Emerging markets are the new first world! HINT: it's because they invested in there youth unlike the suppression taking place in America!

Young people never get the good jobs in there 20's and that's the problem! You start them out too late and keep all the older employees happy! Never investing in your youth what do u expect! You want everyone to

[Muteki856]

The problem is the system and the teachers!

How can you blame a parents there already working long hours.  If people were payed more they wouldn't have to work 50-60 hours a week for lil less than $1000.00 after taxes!

Where CEOs are stealing all the companies money come bonus season!

So if you blame the parents blame the corporate capitalism system that is so touted about! But don't just blame the parents!

And if things stay the way they are soon intelligent individual thinkers will see thr

[lionking4277]

@Muteki856 Exactly! Parents are not the issue here! Teachers are there to teach our kids. They just can't teach! Imagine a student is homeless but still manage to go to school. Are we gonna blame the parents? It is the teachers job to teach! Period! I have 70 students who can't solve regrouping subtraction. 70 out of 70 start solving w/ me. The worst of the worst kids in that school. Did I blame the parents? No! I teach those kids from zero to perfect scores! No problem. How did I do it? Teach!

[HooptieHamburger]

@lionking4277 It is impossible to teach kids who resist learning. Impossible. So many kids refuse to learn when the teacher is trying with his or her life to teach them. That is the fault of the students. Students are responsible for doing their part, and way too many of them are not doing their part. If a teacher puts in 60 hours a week and a students puts in zero, the student is to blame. Way too many rotten parents encourage and enable the laziness by blaming the teachers.

[lionking4277]

@HooptieHamburger I totally agree with you in everything you've just mentioned. I've volunteered in a public elem. school. 70 kids can't subtract regrouping sub. After 3 days/ 3 hours of teaching. All 70 students starts solving w/ me. From zero to perfect one-two mistakes from my post test exam. I also believe those 70 kids; the worst of the worst in that school can also solve with me if I do it right. No excuses! Students will react positively if we start teaching them right!

[HooptieHamburger]

@lionking4277 I agree that a lot of kids will respond positively to good teaching, but I do not think all will. There are some kids who are going to rebel against teaching no matter how good it is.

[lionking4277]

@Hoop If you've read my numbers I gave. 70 out of 70 students starts solving with me. No excuses! I truly understand their will be students that are hard to teach. I call them mentally challenge or can't retain anything even the best of the best teachers can't help them. Those 70 students I'd helped was not easy to teach! I'm not a teacher. I'm just a volunteer. But I was able to teach those kids in a short span of time. That's my point. They'll respond to us if we teach right!

[lionking4277]

@Hoop Impossible is one word I never use in teaching these kids. They're resisting on learning anything because we gave up on them. A 5th grader was speechless after teaching an hour on how to subtract regrouping. She was numb! When she finally said something to me. " Mr John, I wish you were my 3rd grade teacher. Tears came out from her eyes. I never gave up on these kids! I always believe in them even if they are the worst of the worst student. She is just one example...

Good job! Excellent points.
