Grades and Self-Esteem
1- Only 11% of eighth – graders in California’s public schools can solve seventh-grade math problems. I agree with Randy Moore that because in my country some public school doesn’t teach the math well so the students won’t understand it. Some student are in 6th grades and 7th grades they can’t solve 5th grades math problems.
2- More than 30% of U.S 17-year- old don’t know that Abraham Lincoln wrote the Emancipation Proclamation. Almost half do not know who Josef Stain was, and 30% can’t locate Britain on a map of Europe. I agree with that because in my country there are students that pass high school barely they don’t take education seriously; they will forget every thing after high school over.
3- Everyone’s opinion has equal value! I’m OK! You’re OK! Don’t worry about learning, thinking or communicating; the important thing is to feel good about our selves. That reminds me the private school in my country, the private school are very strict which is good because student will learn stronger, but for the other side they are let the student’s say their opinions for every thinking for every thing, they believeπ that every one’s opinion has equal value!
Some of Moore’s examples conflict with my experienced. For example, when he said “ students who could not pass the ninth- grade test graduated and received a “ diploma of attendance” this never happened in my country because the students should study well and pass the test to received a diploma, if they could not pass the test they fail and have to repeat the whole year again.
I disagree with a now dogma that self- esteem is very important because in my opinion education is more important. With out education you can’t have self- steam.
