1.why do critics of education of today say that discipline in school is too lax? The aim of discipline is to set limits restricting certain behaviors or attitudes that are seen harmful or against school policies, educational norms, school traditions, etc. This discipline will help a student develop his sense of responsibility and guide them to learn and care for the people around them and the world. However, critics of education today say that discipline in school is too lax because they feel that students nowadays are given more freedom than students from earlier years had. This freedom is not in itself wrong, what it forgot to foresee are the students' tendency to abuse such freedom and develop disruptive behaviors that would neither benefit the school and the community he is living in knowing that they could get away with whatever they do without facing the consequences of their action because they have the same laws that took away the school's tools that they used to have to deal with the students’ disruptive behavior in school to back them up. With their hands bound, educators nowadays are often left confused as to how they should handle a situation where discipline should be imposed without landing a lawsuit or trending on social media as a violator of the rights of a child. 2. Why should schools of today return to basic and fundamentals? Schools of today should return to the basic and fundamental in order to be able to break down complex situations into simpler pieces, get a clearer view and understand how complex situations were generated and in the process, learn an approach school administrators and educators use to handle problem situations and become effective teachers inside the classroom. 3. Why do students of today complain that schools and colleges do not adequately prepare them for the world of work? Students feel that schools and colleges do not adequately prepare them for the world of work because of the following reasons: first, they feel that the lessons they learn inside the classroom are not enough or lack what they actually need to know in order to become competent workers, some students also feel that educators give more attention to students who excel in class and doesn't mind those who have hard times catching up with new lessons. They also feel that they are not exposed enough to actual activities that would give them the idea of how to do their job in the future 1. Why did sense realists insist that things should be studied before words? Sense realism was based on the fundamental belief that knowledge comes primarily through the senses and education was to be founded on a training in sense-perception and to be directed toward a new type of subject matter. Sense realists thus ensist that "things should be studied before words" because they believe that an individual should first acquire the idea rather than the form and understand the object before the word, or the word through the object. 2. What is "rote learning"? Why was it discouraged by sense realists? Rote learning is like a mechanical or unthinking routine or repetition of process in order to memorize certain ideas. This learning process is against the principles that sense realists believe in, whose general theory of education is based upon rationality, that the mind is geared and functioning while learning by using the common sense through experimentations, observation and other scientific processes because, in this way, an individual is able to discover reality on his own and learn new knowledge that would stay more than what "rote learned" ideas would do. 3. Explain: "Nature makes no sudden leaps but unfolds gradually." Nature makes no sudden leaps but unfolds gradually means that how we learn things takes a step by step process, that what we believe now is only an approximation of the reality that we discovered and that every new observation unfolds new and deeper understanding of that reality which nature first unfolded.
