Importance Of Education In Education

Today access to study is no more a right for everyone. All the victories achieved in history about equality for education and free access, without reference to class and income, are missed. Studying is turning in a privilege for rich people, that have a family who can afford the high cost of life, health and, above all, the cost of college. The high rate of inflation and of health care make life very difficult for too many people, and the high raising of college fees does not help at all. People can’t afford to pay study and give up this fundamental necessity; too many people will renounce studying and this will affect the future society and first of all the economy.

I was born and raised in a developing country in Africa where there are limited opportunities for education, particularly for women. Although my country is plagued by a variety of fatal diseases and parasites, most notably malaria, treatment facilities lack basic medical supplies and skilled healthcare providers. Due to poverty, most people have limited access to life-saving care, especially those in rural areas who don’t even have medical access. This shortage of resources and proficient personnel render the population vulnerable to infectious diseases.

In my old elementary days, I was always struggling with my work. I was falling behind, stuck on questions, and eventually frustrated with myself while the other students were steps ahead of me. I was a shy kid back then, so getting my teacher’s attention was difficult for me; my teacher’s attention would always go to the kids who were considered smart and all the praises would go to them. At those moments, I would sulk at my desk waiting to see if someone would notice me, but no one came. Eventually, I was accompanied with an ELL teacher and they would pull me out of class to help me read, do math, or anything I was struggling on. It was fun for the most part, I would always have a conversation with my ELL teachers. This lead me to become more aware of my weaknesses and learn from my mistakes because they would help me in ways that got me to think for myself. I know that children who are in the same situation as me never got the help that they needed and honestly; without the help of my ELL teachers, I would have never become the person I am today. This is why the education system in America should be changed because, using the stories: The Secret to Raising Smart kids and Marita’s Bargain, I believe that hard work and more school days would benefit children from actually learning.

Today’s education systems are deeply flawed. Schools attempt to conform the way students think, which then limits creativity and student’s ability to think for themselves. Schools are falling away from the true focus of education by replacing effective teaching with irrelevant assignments, only to overwork and severely stress the students. Since many students are focusing more on homework than real-life, they are losing precious time to explore passions and learn important life lessons. Schools today are not preparing students to be lifelong learners and successful participants in the real world at an adequate level.

Teachers in the United States are educating the adults of the future, yet the teaching profession is depreciated. Teachers experience immense pressure from the administration to adhere to curriculum guidelines, creating an unfavorable work condition. Professional freedom, or autonomy, in the classroom allows teachers to adjust instructional material to their preference and teaching style. This provides teachers a more supportive environment to fulfill their potential as educators and effectively creating a learning environment. Teachers can help students get the most out of their education and increase their earnings later in life.

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.

As American’s, it is our legal right to stand up for what we believe in. All citizens should have an equal say, regardless of not only race, religion, or sex, but profession as well. Being an often underappreciated profession, teachers should have their voices heard, especially when it comes to the modern educational system in which their lives are consumed. John Dewey’s statement acts as a form of encouragement for teachers to think deeper about and challenge the ideals of our education system. While the field is constantly evolving, teachers are often neglected and their first-hand, personal experiences are ignored. Sure, the government has all the power, but legislators should at least consider those who are in the classroom each day.

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.

ABSTRACT: The importance of planting local and religious cultural values in education is an effort to anticipate the rate of modernization characterized by sophistication in the field of communication, information, and transportation technologies bringing the countries of the world into the global network system to a new world civilization. If not anticipated by strengthening cultural and religious filters, then globalization will be detrimental to the existence of the nation's cultural values. This study examines the meaning of events and interactions of people, used orientation or theoretical perspective with phenomenological approach. The type of research used in this study is the type of qualitative research. While viewed from the place of research, this research belongs to the type of research library. The research results are: 1) The values of education that can be known from the local wisdom of rural society are as follows; a) The value of the Faith, namely the belief in the existence of God as the Lord of the universe The value of faith is also found in the philosophy of life that has been adhered to firmly; b) Value of Togetherness; c) The value of education that teaches hard work, abstinence, filial piety, obedience to the rules of religion, clean life, community life, and simple life; 2) The concept of educational development from

First class of the day is genetics at 8:00 am, still waking up, I sit in my chair and listen as the professor drones on and on about DNA and other things I wont remember after class today. After two hours of genetics I have five minutes to run from one class to another. Now I sit in my chair, in a different class, and listen to another professor lecture for another two hours. My hand begins to cramp up from all the note taking, and I feel even more tired than I did at 8:00 am. My day isn't over yet, I still have to try and keep my eyes from closing as my math teacher goes on about shapes or multiplication or something math related. A full day of school down and I am left with more questions than answers. I feel like I know less now, than I did when I came to school this morning.

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.

In our country’s education system, one can still see the effects history had on its shaping. People that cannot afford a private education are not getting a strong enough education to help them continue on in life. Henrietta Lacks was a woman who had only a few years of primary level education because she had to quit to help on her farm for money. Because she had very little of an education, she had no knowledge of what was happening to her when she would go to the doctor. The doctors took advantage of this and took her cells without her knowing. Henrietta was not able to obtain a quality education due to the fact that her family was poor and needed her help on the farm. Poverty directly correlates with education in that impoverished people do not get equal opportunities in schooling nor are they raised and influenced the same outside of school.

Education is clearly an essential aspect of criminality that should be implemented to rehabilitate juvenile offenders and lower their risk of reoffending. The previous studies addressed issues present by incarcerating youth, but further research must be done comparing the resources available to incarcerated youth, those in group homes, and those of probation, and their recidivism rates. Just under a third of juvenile arrests are of females, although they are a minority population they should be explored because they could offer a different perspective and understanding (Rhoades, Leve., Eddy, & Chamberlain, 2016, p. 337). Previous studies were focused almost exclusively on male participants, so research into how the justice system prepares girls to re-enter into society as adults. Most of the boys studied above were also white, so further research must be done to explore how race plays a factor. Moving forward, a more diverse sample group must be researched in order to provide more generalizable research of the population. For further research, a variety of systems and their effectiveness must also be evaluated.

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”).
