Middle school students; many of which are engrossed in the negative things - complaining being one of the major ones. I have noticed that many students complain about how low-level some of there peers are. This complaint usually refers to the students in elective classes such as Educational Technology, World Languages, and Photography. These students who complain make the others feel little of themselves. So what should be the solution to this? Should students have to complete a resume, cover letter, and application in order to participate in elective classes?
In my opinion, students should not be required to write a resume, cover letter, or application just to attend a class they have a passion for. No matter what the passion for a student may be, they will excel in that category; guaranteed.
For some students, the elective class they may choose may be the only subject where they are satisfied with their grade. Shouldn’t the student be relieved from the overwhelming feeling of whether or not they were accepted into the class?
Having been a middle school student myself, I know the pressures and tensions that pile up over time. The last thing I need is to write a resume, cover letter, and application to attend a class when I may not even know the proper technique for these documents!
Furthermore, these three documents will take away time to progress on work for other classes. This eventually will lead to an unwanted feeling of stress and anxiety.
So why should we pressurize students for something they may not even know how to do and may affect their academic progress?
If this matter is considered carefully, more reasons to not make students write these documents will become crystal clear.
So let’s think about the well-being of our future stars and make sure that they always shine!
