Benefits of Critiquing Education and Yourself


Yes students should critique education. It is important to understand how the institution they are learning from is doing. It also allows the students to point out the flaws of education to teachers and professors. For example, a student in the Passion Project movie, a student named Romeo said a classroom is like a home. “In a classroom it is like home that people can be their self and let their thoughts and things out to other people without, without having judged.” I think this is a good example of how we should critique education since it needs to make students feel comfortable to be in the classroom. Critiquing education can help the teachers learn what the flaws of the education system are and try to incorporate ways to fix it. This will make people want to come to class and do their work. Also, in the Passion Project movie, a member named Ray said the teachers need to be more motivational. “If a teacher can be motivational we can we can we can feel successful even after failing.” I think this is a good way for teachers to address education and students. Most teachers are lazy and won’t help the students which are a big flaw in the education system. This led to Jeff Bliss, an 18 year old sophomore in Duncanville Texas to speak out to his lazy teacher. I believe the teachers need to be motivational which a start in fixing the flawed education system is. By critiquing education, a student can better understand their career choice because they understand the education around that specific career that they have chosen. This is why critiquing education is very important, it points out the flaws and help the students find their major.
           
 Students should be asked to look at themselves. It allows the students to see their flaws and mistakes so they can get help to move pass it. This also allows the students to see their strong points and work on to improve it. Those strong points can inspire people and give them passion. For example, a counselor in my high school told us to look at ourselves to see what we might be good at. I think this method is a brilliant way to let students see how they think they are progressing. It also allows them to be able to see what they need to do to continue their progress. It is effective since the students know themselves better than anyone else. This will allow the students to avoid or improve their weak points that can hinder their hard work. For instance, I am very lazy which one of my weak points in life is, so in order for me to avoid it, I’ll need to keep myself occupied with other stuff to do. This is why the students need to critique themselves, it lets them realize their potentials and deal breakers. I personally think it is a good way to give students passion to continue their work and stay in school since allows them to see their potentials. The weak points they have is up to the students if they want to address it or for the teachers to give motivation to help them move pass it. That is why self-critiquing is important and should be addressed if any issues pops up.
