Is Education A Essential Role?

Higher education has become more valuable in many occupations and careers. Law enforcement is one of them, even though it is a slow transition from not requiring college education. Some of the requirements for a law enforcement officer is to have advanced writing skills, think critically, work in a high-pressure environment, and effectively communicate with citizens that they are protecting and serving. These skills can be learned on a job through training and experience, but they are also thought in college through homework, exercises, communication with other students, and required reading material by professors. When hiring college graduates with a four-year degree, they already possess many of the qualities and attributes that are highly

Ever since 1840 American public schools have been running off of the same routine. Students are stuck in school sitting in a class, taking tests, or quizes, over and over again in the same exact routine. The creativity of children are being washed out of them and are being penalized for their unique differences. Education in schools are keeping children's minds wrapped up in a bubble to become a unified society. In the article “Against School” by John Gatto he expresses the boring environment in public schools. Gatto talks about how schooling shouldn’t be the answer for everything yet an education should.

Though education in the United States has been limited in history, the necessity of education has now been accepted by virtually everyone in this country -- and the access to it is better than ever. In most cases when rights have been abused and limited, present and in history, it has been at the hands of the federal government. The importance of education has been emphasized highly and has even led to presidencies proposing bad legislation defining what education is. Education is important to participate and live in a civilized society, therefore it must be considered a right, and should apply to everyone while ridding of all corruptness from government and society that limits one from obtaining it.

I was fortunate enough to come live in the United States when I was eleven months old. I still go back and visit my birth place El Salvador. The number one thing that catches my eye when I’m over there is the difference in education. Here in the United States, we are lucky enough to have the opportunity to go to school and learn and eventually get a career, because not everyone has that. This is why I believe education shouldn’t be taken advantage of.

Education. How much is it worth? A dollar, ten dollars? To some, an education is worthless. However, to some people, it is priceless. It could be the difference between life and death. An education could save lives, families, futures. Imagine a world where you didn’t have an education, where you couldn’t read, write, or express yourself. This world is a reality for women and girls in poverty all around the world. These uneducated females live in extreme poverty without the hopes of making better lives for their children or families. Without an education, children have a higher chance of death, more girls are forced into child marriage, and women have an increased chance of maternal mortality. For these reasons, women and girls in poverty need to be given educations.

The importance of education in the United States is stressed in words, by people who act like they want you to succeed, but do not push or motivate you to do so. My generation does want things handed to us without much effort having to be put in by us, but for most part if people push us to do things we will want to go above and beyond. I speak from my personal experience, but I know I am not the only person that can relate. People go to school just to receive a diploma or to get a degree, simply because it is instilled in us throughout our school years that if we don’t have a diploma or degree we won’t be able to get a job and be successful in life. McDonald’s will not even hire you without a high school diploma, so people do the bare minimum just to get that diploma. Students go to school to earn a grade, not to learn. I was one of those students that paid attention just so I could pass the test, then never bother to revisit what I learned.

There is a famous quote by Miles Kingston that states, "knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad." Often people use the words Knowledge, Wisdom, and Education interchangeably. However, this is far from appropriate. Currently, being an educated individual does not necessarily mean that that individual is wise or knowledgeable but simply that he or she has had an "education" and therefore carries a level of status and qualification.

According to the book on page 363, “education is a social institution through which a society’s children are taught basic academic knowledge, learning skills, and cultural norms.” Every nation has some sort of educational system which teaches all of these thing and each system varies greatly. What affects the educational systems the most is the money that goes into supporting each system. Many factors come into the amount of money that is spent on educations. A main one is the wealth of the country that particular system is in. The countries that have little to nothing are barely able to support any kind of education, if any. This is a social concern for many countries.

Why school? Throughout life, we always tend to wonder whether or not having an education is beneficial and can end up leading to a life of success. As students, we always search for the deliverance that will help us to answer this question. When we are young, we view school as a place to meet new people and a place that we go to have fun. But once we grow out of this stage, we wonder what the true reasoning behind education actually is. We as students tend to outgrow the day to day lifestyle of forcing ourselves out of bed every morning to go to a place we have no idea to interpret what we are learning and how to apply it to our lives. We are lost, and this guidance that we are in search of, comes from educators who believe that school is

Education is a very important tool that most people strive to obtain because it is knowledge and information that the world provides us to change for better. I believe education has a big effect in children, teenagers, and adults in the United States because it an environment of a modern lifestyle where we are pushing our kids to be the best intelligent mindsets that the future holds. The author Carl Singleton wrote “What our education system needs is more F’s” and he states his opinion in how the grading system should work according to his point of view. I have read different articles that the topic is similar to Carl Singleton’s article but I disagree with this one because of his statements.

I was driving to an art performance on a Friday night with my eight-year-old daughter strapped in the backseat, and we were talking about where I was going once she was dropped off at her friend’s house. I explained to her that there had been several hurricanes that left the island of Puerto Rico in need of resources and help, and that the money raised at the event that night was going to will help aid the effort. She proceeded to ask questions about the topic: “Where was the island? What did the hurricanes do? Were people hurt?” She had numerous other follow-up questions about the country and its link to ours. Our conversation led me to question what I knew about Puerto Rico as I stumbled to give the place a label for her. Was it a

Nelson Mandela once said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” While they are indeed wise words, what does it mean to be educated? What can be classified as a proper education? Some say college is where people go for a “real” education. College is an educational institution meant to further prepare a student for the real world, real jobs, and real life. Instead of the basics taught in elementary, middle and high school, college is meant to be more specialized. Because students have the liberty to pick and choose their own classes it’s easier to cater to their needs, thus allowing each and every student the chance to work towards their future profession. But is what is currently being taught at

Education is a very important tool you need to live a successful life, Those students who actually take advantage of the education given to them are usually the ones with the most success. The students who don’t take advantage of the education given to them are the ones working a minimum wage 9-5 job. With some students, the education they’re receiving isn’t enough, nowadays most students worry about their elective classes, sports, and after-school activities more than their common core classes. Which are Math, English, Science, and History. In order to increase student success at school all around Anaheim, students should spend more time in their common core classes, rather than spending the same amount of time in their elective classes.

Education is a right recognized by many countries across the world, and yet many children don’t even have access to attend school. In Plato’s “The Allegory of the Cave”, coming out of the cave and being blinded by the sun is like learning for the first time. The amount of information may be overwhelming at first, but then can be accustomed to. Education creates opportunities which then creates a better life for children and society, especially in poorer countries. Not only is it a human right to attend school but it is also just, and when something is just, it must be just for all. Education should not be a privilege, and no matter the gender or financial status of a child, they have every right to attend school.

Everyone goes through it, and rarely anyone ever enjoys it. Education. The stigma around school and education among students is often not a very pleasant experience. Many students often dread waking up early, only to go to a series of dry and unengaging classes in an over organized system. The idea that our students dread education so much should be a red flag that the system is failing and changes should be made. Our education system needs to undergo various changes to create better educated students in our society. To create a better education for our students, we must dissect the issues with contemporary education, and redefine how we view education. What is it about our schools that creates an environment of systematic learning? The
