Importance Of Education In Education

Imagine this scenario; Oklahoma without an educational system. Knowledge is lost in this state. We are running out of doctors and business leaders. Universities are shutting down, major oil companies have relocated, and the economy has nearly crashed. What led to this crisis? Teachers fled to other states to find better paying jobs so they can support their families. The teachers of Oklahoma loved their jobs and lived to make an impact on every child who entered the classroom. Unfortunately, teachers have left in hopes of being able to do more for their families and now the system is in a complete state of frenzy. “ Good teachers are the reason why ordinary students dream to do extraordinary things.” Teachers are vital to the growth and development of children. They teach them how to read, write, and many other forms of knowledge that everyone must know to be successful. Teachers also pass on knowledge of past things they have encountered and give students valuable life skills that will always be remembered. Teachers are the foundation of the economic system.The average starting pay for teachers in Oklahoma is 31,600 dollars a year. Even after a teacher works their way up to 25 plus years of teaching, they still get paid only 42,325 dollars a year. Teachers deserve a pay raise because they teach lessons that last a lifetime, work a tiring job that requires much thought, work countless hours outside of the classroom, and if teachers do not get higher pay, there will be a

Teachers are overloaded and overwhelmed with the daily, weekly, monthly, and annual progress monitoring requirements placed upon them by their departments of education and schools alike. With the constant forms and reports necessary to document their efforts and effectiveness, many are on the verge of burn out and disillusionment with the dream of truly being educators. Reaching out to a coworker who is worn and tattered by the regularly increasing demands for greater performance and one more mandatory curricular addition is an act of mercy and love. This is love for our fellow man and love for the futures of the youngsters placed within that teachers’ realm of authority.

It was the last week of my senior year in high school and my peers and I were on an emotional roller-coaster. Eager to receive well wishes and encouragement from the teachers I had spent the past four years with, I toted my yearbook from classroom to classroom requesting signatures from those in the building I had the highest of regards for. I approached my advanced placement physics instructor and handed him my yearbook, proudly reminding him that I was headed to Emory University, which was something relatively unheard of for students at my school. When he was done writing, I read the words “Young black girl at Emory. Please no babies” and had an immediate visceral reaction. Overflowing with emotions that I could not clearly articulate, I walked away, promising myself that I would do everything in my power to bury those words and prove to him, and others alike, that I would not grow to be the stereotype they viewed me as. I regard this moment as one of the most pivotal in my educational career because it was an important driving force in my decision to become an educator and continues to remind me of the immediate need for positive Black educators and role models for students of color. I am committed to being an educator in urban schools because I recognize a system that is failing students of color, worsened by the existing gaps in resources that continue to do them a disservice, within a system that should work to level the playing field for all. My goals as an educator

As a future student of George Washington University, I am interested in this institution because I want to attend an institution where theory and research work together harmoniously. I would like to learn from professors whom are experts in their field and I can stretch also strengthen my academic experience. I want to learn how to expand my personal thinking in class while probing further into my research interests. Finally, I want to be able to network with professional experts while using my experience and opportunities from George Washington University to make a strong impact in the educational arena.

Teacher’s make a choice early on to chase the dream and not the dollar. It is not about the money that is to be made but rather about the minds that can be molded. A teacher goes through rigorous education requirements to prepare for the many roles a teacher must play. In today’s world, many students are falling through the cracks and teachers are facing tremendous difficulties leading them to leave, but I want to join the education field so I can take these students and guide them to the right track. I know that taking Sociology 101 will make me a better teacher.

Very little is known about how many students went to these schools or the significance of the education given to students in these schools, but it is very certain that almost all of the teachers of these schools fled Iran after the Islamic revolution started and that others have been jailed or fired for not supporting the revolution. All of Iran’s schools are run by the government’s Ministry of Education and Training. Additionally, the political ruler of Iran, the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, didn’t restrict education for females as many Iranians feared he would, but he did proclaim sexual segregation on the Iranian school system; so now, all boys and girls are educated separately by their genders at all grade levels. All schooling is free, but students who wish to study at a college must be content with working for the government for an equal amount of time spent at the college. One field in which the shah improved greatly upon in Iran was in health care. Diseases like malaria, smallpox, amoebic dysentery, cholera, tuberculosis, typhoid fever, venereal disease , and other harmful infections that have run free through Iran since ancient times were finally being brought under control. During the 1960s, hospitals were constructed in many cities and a health organization composed of young physicians and trained secondary-school volunteers was created in 1964 and they set out to take basic medical care in mountain valleys and remote villages. By 1979, Iran had one doctor for

Knowledge is very valuable and we should all be able to obtain it. Today millions of children are unable to access education. Education shouldn’t be a privilege it should be a right all over the world. Children in developing countries are being denied an education. Due to the lack of resources and materials children are not able to attend school because they don’t have a building to learn in. According to Global Citizen, a classroom in Malawi there is 130 students per classroom in the 1st grade. It isn’t only the lack of classrooms but also the lack of basic facilities. Students aren’t able to learn properly if their classrooms are facing an extreme overcrowding. Trying to learn in a classroom with another 129 students can be quite difficult especially if your teacher isn’t able to get to every student in a day. Obtaining an education is not only about attending classes but it is also about being able to actually learn when you go to school.

Education is very important to ensure a better quality of life for all children. It also makes people aware of opportunities available for them, and the rights that they deserve. It is the key which allows one to acquire skills to become more self-reliant, and ultimately succeed in their life. A country or a world without educated people is a hell of a mess, where no one shows respect in regard to anyone. The lack of education increases the gender gap; for many years, women were not allowed to attend school or obtain an education. It also increases the level of poverty leaving people no choice than becoming criminals, murderers, or thieves. Those acts do not happen only because people live in poverty, but also for the sake to project their anger on society. However, because of women’s importance in societies, their education should not be neglected otherwise those goals can never be achieved because women are at the center of education.

Despite the recent increase in access to education, the poor, socially disadvantaged, and people in remote areas are often deprived of basic education. When basic education is available, the poorest are not able to benefit from it because the direct costs and associated opportunity costs are too high for them Thus, the relationship between education and poverty reduction is as honest and linear as education is; it enables the person to participate in the development process, instilling the knowledge and skills needed to improve income earning capacity and thus quality of life. Furthermore, the education of girls and women helps to improve the number of other indicators of human development. The eradication of poverty requires access to quality education. Thus, education helps lay the foundation for the following pillars of poverty reduction: empowerment, human development and social development Education may increase inequality and poverty if the benefits of economic growth are not evenly distributed among people. If education is achieved and the gap between the poor and the rich is reduced and all of them enjoy fair education without discrimination in opportunities, it contributes to reducing the poverty crisis and increasing security and stability. That the right to education - like all human rights - is universal and inalienable, many conventions have been enshrined in international law, which places binding obligations on ratifying States. The right to a good education

I find pride and value in all my experiences regarding STEM. Though I have directed my focus more towards technology in my middle and high school years, my story began with mathematics. Growing up in an immigrant family, my parents were not always able to cross the language barrier and help develop my studies in language arts or social studies. Since math deals with numbers and function, it is the one subject without borders. I grew up memorizing the multiplication table at an early age and complaining when my parents quizzed me while going on walks or grocery shopping. Despite my constant whining, I obliged and looking back, I am thankful that my parents pushed me to learn basic math in my formative years. By the time I entered elementary school, math just clicked; whether it be from a natural inclination or from the early exposure, and I grew more confident and interested in my mathematical abilities.

“When we think about what it is to be ‘connected,’ we think about memory. We think about history. We think about storytelling. All of these words that we hear—‘literacy,’ ‘inclusion,’ ‘diversity’—those are all words for connection . We need that sense of connection. We need to live in a global sense.” This is one of many important quotes from personal hero Miriam Wright Edelman. Founder and president of the Children's Defense Fund and an advocate for all children and their families regardless of race or culture, Marian Wright Edelman, goes on to say, “we must always refill and ensure there is a critical mass of leaders and activists committed to nonviolence and racial and economic justice who will keep seeding and building transforming movements.” (Siegel, 1995) Transforming movement has been taking place in the area of professional education or development, however, honoring the learning from our educational system through the anthropological lens creates the best environment possible for school cultures and in turn, our society.

Education is a diverse subject that is crucial working part in our society machine. We can thank our education system for what our world looks like today. Without education all our advances in technology, medicine, and critical thinking wouldn't be possible. Our teachers of the past, present, and future were and are some of the most important people to have walk this earth. They have touched the lives of many, and will continue to shape the minds of tomorrow. Yet, as well as our education system has done, their are still many issues that we must address as a whole. Issues such as Bilingual education and the hiring of unqualified teachers plague our education system.

During a student’s IEP meeting there are many people that take part in the decision-making. But I do believe that one thing I feel is the biggest challenge, is that administers tend to feel the child needs less support. When all the teaching staff begin to discuss the student’s areas of growth, or potential future goals they may not agree with the parent. For example, when the English teacher states that the students don’t read at grade level, but the math teacher say they can read the word problems. During the discussion of the students’ needs can be rhetorical, depending on what academic grade level they are assessed at. “Educators can ensure that their individualized education program (IEP) planning teams develop and implement a free appropriate public education, an education that confers meaningful educational benefits to students” (Yell, Shriner, & Katsiyannis, 2006, p. 5).

My placement school is the Tempe Academy of International Studies (grades 6th to 8th), under the Tempe Elementary School District. The population consists of about 300 students, with a high percentage of them having disabilities ranging from autism to dyslexia, and also a high rate of students experiencing anxiety (Personal Communication). The main goal of the school is to create a community with students, school staff, and teachers and promote a diversified curriculum in both culture and ways of learning (Personal Communication). The overarching mission of the school influences the school’s goal on integrating technology for the purpose of having students, “connect with a global society” (“Technology”), and using advanced resources to challenge students (“Tempe Academy of International Studies - McKemy Campus”).

As one of the building blocks to a successful career, education can, and should, be viewed as one of the most important experiences any person will undergo in his or her lifetime. It leads people down a path of discovery in order to help them establish what they want to pursue for the rest of their lives. However, without professional, experienced educators and effective teaching methods, students can never expect to reach their full potential. For this reason, legislatures from all countries should take steps to improve their schools and the techniques they utilize.
