The knowledge, attitudes, and skills the students should acquire in school both academically and socially, usually depends on what is being presented in their school environment. There is an importance that students be presented with positive environments and positive encouragement from peers and educators. There are those negative social influences that tend to seep out of the cracks that can't always be ignored. There are unintended directions that parents did not want their child to go especially with the social influences that take the lead. There are parents that are made aware , but do not know quite how to handle these types of situations and sometimes the full blame is handed into the lap of society.
Attitudes usually play a big role in the growth.
These attitudes are sometimes detected by failing grades and schoolwork and sometimes there is uncertainty on how to handle it all. Out of school the parents play a major role in their child's life, in the classroom the teacher may be the biggest influence. Peers also play a huge role in a student's life because they have a closer connection more than the teacher may have. In conclusion, I feel that there is importance in the new ideas coming into the education system. Becoming a future educator is definately my biggest goal and hope to make a positive impact in the lives of students.
