Open Access Graduate Research Paper

Abstract

According to a 1989 Gallup/Phi Delta Kappa poll, the most frequently mentioned problem confronting teachers is the lack of interest and support on the part of parents (Elam, 1989). Elam also found that other problems of major concern were the students' lack of interest and lack of discipline. It has always been convenient to blame the student and his immediate environment for his inability to perform academically. The question I wish to ask is "what is the school's responsibility in creating a positive learning environment?" If it is the school's goal to make "oranges" into "apples," how do we do it?
