WEEK 6 (Topic 5)

 Social Forces Influencing Education & The School

In this topic, I have learned that there are many social forces that can influence education at school. Social forces means any human created of doings things that influence, pressure or force people to behave, interact with others, and think in specified ways. I want to focus more on the effects of changes in family structure on children's academic performance and achievement. Based on my opinion, a weak family relationships due to often changes in family structure can affect some children's development and mental health problems sometimes. For example, the parents got divorce then married with other people, does not got enough attention or got abuse whether emotionally and physically, that can lead to the mental health problems to the children. Besides that, some students from this kind of family structure easily to get involved in behavioral problems at school because of lack attention and education from the family. It is agreed that the complete family with good behavior can give positive experience to the children. Parents role in guiding the children to value life in a good way is very important in their life. Thus, it can be said that family structure has a great influence in individual's education. Family and school also must cooperate with each other in order to instill the socialization in students.
