Many people now have come to believe that there is no room left for more development in the public schooling system. This is because there are very many challenges that face this system that seem not to be changing any time soon. Taking this system to the new direction is not as easy as it sounds when the government says it. Whether it is the students, the parents or the teachers, everyone is affected by the problems with public education.

Every government school on this planet is affected by some of the challenges that are going to be mentioned in this article. For instance, there are very many schools that have small classrooms. The proportion of students who attend these schools is very big compared to the facilities that the government have made available. When the ratio of the teacher to the students is too high, it will be hard for the teacher to make sure all the students have comprehended what they teach.

Poverty is also a factor that has had a great impact on the public school system. Reports say that approximately 22 percent of children in America live at or even below poverty level. The poverty level is defined as a family that earns less than 23,000 dollars per year. Children living under extreme poverty have the highest dropout rates because it is hard to study if a person does not have enough sleep or food.

When a student is stressed, it is hard for them to utilize their full potential when it comes to their education. Some students are usually faced with too much problems that they decide to get part time jobs to help support their families. Working when a person is supposed to be learning has an impact on their grades. This is because they lack enough time to read or do their homework.

The family factors also have a great effect on the learning of a student. Every teacher can confirm that the ability of a student to learn is greatly affected by what is going on at home. Things such as domestic violence, divorce and extreme poverty can affect the school attendance rate of the affected student. Absenteeism will definitely make the student get low grades.

Technology has grown to become a huge part of our existence and it is hence essential in the education system currently. There are numerous students who are more advanced technologically when compared to the teachers. It is hence only right if these teachers work very hard to get more advanced than their students but the government institutes lack the important facilities that can help make this possible.

Bullying is not a new problem in the education systems and it should be taken very seriously. Most cases of bullying just take place in the government schools and they greatly affect the education of the bullied students. Technology has even made this problem worse because there is the new avenue of cyber bullying. There are very many suicides that can be traced back to cyber bullying.

Funds are the most important things that can help in the improvement of any facilities. The public schooling system however lacks this and this has made this system to lag behind for a very long time. When there are no funds it means that there will be no enough money to pay adequate teachers and other support staff hence the management will be harder.
