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 child is stressed, it can be difficult for them to make use of their potential in terms of their education. Some scholars are usually affected by too much poverty that they choose to find part time occupations to help upkeep their families. Working when a child is required to be learning can impact the grades tremendously. This is so they do not get enough time to study or even just do their homework.

Family issues also affect the concentration of the students in schools. Parents need to make certain that there is peace and harmony at home if they want their child to do well. There are many things that can happen at home such as divorce, domestic violence or poverty. When a student lacks the essential things then their schools attendance will also be affected.

Technology is something that cannot be overlooked in the schools systems today. Reports say that the children today are even more technologically advanced than their teachers. Public schools lack the technological equipment that can enable the teachers to compete with what the children already know and this also affects the government schools.

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.
