who is more important in education? students, teachers or parents?


In my opinion students are the most important because if they dont want to learn something there is nothing anyone can do to make them learn it. this is because sometimes we as students are learning things that have nothing to do with what we want to become in life.for example i wish that i wouldnt have to take so many math classes because im not going to be a math teacher so why should i learn it. and although people say that no matter what you need math for everything they also have to realize that we as students are never going to use math like trig and pre-calc in real life ever. so instead of learning things like this i think we should be taking classes that we are interested in and that way we would put more effort into it.
secondly i think that parents are next important part because they are the ones that teach us as kids morals. And if they do a bad job then how do they expect their kids to do any better.and finally i think teachers are the last but not least. this is becsue its their job to teach students but as i said before not all teachers do a very good job and later on they are blaming the sudents for not trying when in reality it was their incompetence because they didnt have the utilities to teach these kids correctly. but at last we need all three so that we as students can do better in life.
