Student Challenges and DYC Solutions
Challenges of Educational System
- Too much to accomplish in too little time in a busy, hectic, fast life
- Aptitudes and strengths mostly go unrecognized, untapped, or undeveloped
- Increased pressure to log essential (personal or school) volunteer hours frequently
- Purging of interests instead of merging of interests due to lack of bandwidth, cost involved, and physical/ mental exhaustion
- Incidence of arbitrary, ad hoc community service owing to limited time availability
- Controlled by social constructs and systems, rather than driven from passion or ability
- Unsustainable “cookie cutter” programs that have not evolved over years, with one-glove-fits-all-hands model
- Designed by necessity and income generation, rather than knowledge and individual growth
- Driven by institutions rather than the individual learners themselves
- Forced to choose between learning or teaching one at a time instead of collaboration
- Limited learning avenues – schools, private classes, or virtual sites
