There have been many
problems with our schools today, the biggest of which is closely related to our
culture. In general, our culture, as represented in the media, gets excited by
famous stars, and constantly stresses that it's what you have, not what you
are, that counts. Parents are encouraged to be away from even very small
children for most of the day. Too many voters go for politicians who would
rather cut school funding than to get rid of tax cuts for the wealthy. All
contribute greatly to the problems of educating our children.
Today's teachers have to
deal with a culture that is vastly different than in the past. They report that
there is, among more children than ever, a lack of motivation, no drive to
succeed or even try. The role models that boys view in the media mostly consist
of men in comedies and other shows who are rude and often extremely immature;
self-centered overpaid athletes; men in movies, television dramas, video games,
etc. who are preoccupied with violence and power. As Leonard Sax wrote in "Boys
Adrift", "Teenage boys are looking for models of mature adulthood,
but we no longer make any collective effort to provide such models." Girls
are attacked not only with such annoying images of males, but also with women
who are preoccupied with appearance and are extremely materialistic.
In such a cultural
environment, it is more important than ever to have responsible, loving and
caring parents who have enough time and motivation to devote to their children
and see to it as their duty to model for them and raise them with high
standards of honesty and responsibility along with tending to their physical
needs. They need to care enough to see that their children are not attacked
with the garbage that comes from movie, television and computer screens. In
today's culture, they are basically alone in this effort since, unfortunately, so
much is working against them.
Until we, as a culture,
face the truth about ourselves — that we are not providing adequately for a
great many of our children — the storm will continue to rage over our education
system.
