I feel like the education system fails every day.

I love how they are always telling us that school is a place where you should be comfortable, happy etc. Yeah I can say, most of us students don't really feel that way. Yes there are some teachers and classes I look forward to, or being in them doesn't suck that much but overall it's really nothing. I feel like the education system fails over and over again. It fails the students. I see so many people my age (me included) that are just surving and hoping they will make it to the end. It's just sad. I know that education is very important, but can't they see that they are slowly killing us ? Is really being a good student more important then being happy and to feel good about yourself?

I think it is the obligation of the teaching profession to do everything they can to engage students and make them feel valued in class. Too many teachers gravitate to the better students at the expense of students who need the attention. It’s easier that way and does a disservice to too many children.
