as a teenager whose responsibility to learn is it, yours, your teachers, or your parents?

I teach Grade 3, and although it can be a difficult concept for some of my students to grasp at first, one of our classroom rules is to be a responsible learner. However, by November most of my students are better able to understand this and the importance around it. The students when told to be responsible, take more care, time and are more proud of their work. Some students, especially those who may have difficulties in certain areas, just need a little one on one help, and they too are able to apply the being a responsible learner to their work and learning efforts. However, it does not mean that as the teacher that I am not responsible, I am just as responsible as the students and parents are. Education is a partner ship, between the parent, student and teacher. You can have success without parental support of course, I have seen students work hard to achieve their goals when it was just a teacher or another caring adult helped them believe in themselves. However, it has been my experience that students are most successful when there is good support from the parents. I say good support because sometimes parents can actually be too supportive or not supportive at all, their demands and expectations can be over whelming for the student or they may not see just in fact how brilliant their child is.

Learning is the student's responsibility. However, with younger students, parents need to supervise daily study sessions and oversee homework. The teachers have the responsibility to teach, to make the lessons clear, well paced for learning, and challenging for all the learners in the class. It is not easy to design lessons that can hold a lower functioning student's attention and yet reach those in the room who are classified as 'gifted'. Do your part to learn, read your notes nightly, read ahead in your books, and prepare your homework to the best of your ability. Don't say "I didn't get it" when not turning in work, it is the learner's responsibility to speak up in class and ask questions. Homework is supposed to reinforce the learning done in the class.

No one can force you to learn. In the end its up to you what and how much you learn. Teachers help by trying to pass their knowledge on. Parents do the same. But when push comes to shove you have to take the responsibility.

It is the teenagers. Of coarse, you cannot expect a student to learn if the parent and teacher do not push them, but in the end it is the student's future that is at risk.

No one else can learn for you, so it has to be the teenager's responsibility. Others have a responsibility to be available to help, but in the end it is up to the student to do the learning.

It is always the learner's responsibility to learn. Teachers and parents and other care givers can help, but ultimately the learner is responsible.

Yours. But your teachers must make an effort to teach, and your parents should help you or 'force' you to study.
