PROBLEMS OF VALJEVO: School Problems

SCHOOL PROBLEMS


Dear Editor,

I am writing to complain about students’ problems and their schools. A lot of students are unhappy with theier teachers and work load. Nevertheless, they cannot make their voices heard.

The conditions in many schools are unbearable since nobody controls irritable school workers. There are teachers who are revengeful and who vent their anger on children. For example, when we get in front of the board they sometimes ridicule us.

In addition to this, children are overloaded with their subjects and they do not have enough time for themselves. They have too many things to learn about in school although they will not be needing them when they grow up. When they come home from school, they should be resting and playing with other children or going to park for a walk in the nature. Instead,they have to stay home and learn some boring stuff which they won't be needing them later.

I think that students should be given the right to express their opinion both about their subjects and their teachers. In my and in the opinion of many others , there should be a school reform, and it should be made after the model of schools in other countries such as France, England and many more where teachers behave professionally and students do project work.

Yours faithfully,
Nemanja Maksimovic
