Education is an important thing in the modern life to all individuals in this society. It is a great tool to help people to be succeed. However, today’s students don’t care of education. Mark Edmundson’s essay, On the Uses of a Liberal education, and Neil Postman’s essay, Television as Teacher, explain the problem of education system. They all said that students for today are thinking education should be entertaining.

According to Ken Robinson, the current education system has yet to adapt to the modern world and it’s different modes of thinking, creating a stand still in curriculum success that is in desperate need of reform. After explaining how countries around the world want to reform education and carry on legacies, Robinson makes the case that our current education system is out dated. The current system was established during the 18th century during the Industrial Revolution, which was based largely on agricultural and urban advancements. As Robinson mentions, every community wants their children to be prepared for the current economic opportunities and carry a cultural legacy, but that’s hard to do when our current system isn’t cohesive to today’s circumstances. “People are trying to work out how we educate our children to their place in the economies of the 21st century.” (Robinson, RSAnimate)

Education is the light of our livings, is the key to success. Without education we wouldn't have reached the moon, or invent an intern-ate. It's big and important topic that deserve to look and spent time. As we know, the k-12 grade are the base of the higher education. Schools can make or destroy students . students go to school for at least twelve years before they go to a higher education. The right schools could prepares student to university and college education level. That's the reason we need charter schools .

What is definition of new education? People get educated from School, home and society, so learning method change during the period of time. Education stared to fight with illiteracy and the most beneficial of formal education is decreasing number of illiterate people in the world since last decades. According to short “The Human Cost Of an illiterate society” Kozol agues how illiterates stop a society to be more development “The number of illiterates adults exceeds by 16 million the entire vote cast for the winner in 1980 presidential contest”(Kozel94). Later, Baker in “School Vs. Education “ argues how education in not enough for children in schools Even though education is essential and valuable, present education system should constantly being reviewed and updated in grading method, using technology, and adding hands-on learning to be support todays society and industries demands.

The standard way of thinking about education has it that traditional education is the best way education. In “Changing Education Paradigms” by Sir Ken Robinson, Robinson disagrees claiming, “The problem is they’re trying to meet the future by doing what they did in the past.” The essence of Robinson’s argument is that, as time has gone on, there have been many factors that have led to a change of dynamics within the classroom. With the rapid increase in technology and the different ways of thinking in students in comparison to previous generations, a reform on education is needed. Conventional wisdom has it that there are currently a wide variety of problems in the world of colleges. In “Are Colleges Worth the Price of Admission?” by Andrew

PG 5; what education could be and what about the relationships between education and intellectual development?

The reason for their success if that there is tangible proof of alignment in keeping components of actions. Fullan (2016) stated that successful change incorporates five factors. In this essay, three of the five factors will be discussed and an example of an organization using components of the change be revealed. Often when organization shave to go through the process of change it means either they have gone through change to repair broken areas or they are going through change as a reflective exercise before embarking on a larger scope of practice perhaps to expand into new growth within their organization. In either course, the larger concern is that organizations must embrace change and engage in meaningful constructed ways to promote the best growth with the fewest steps to reach accomplishment. A key decision factor to change is whether an organize will change because they adopt a model and see a better way or whether they want to save their resources. Fullan (2016) suggested that the reason for the change is largely to work is because, the organizations, “Define closing the gap as the overarching goal,” “Assume that lack of capacity is the initial problem and then work on it continuously,” and “Stay the course through continuity of good direction by leveraging leadership,” (Fullan, 2016,

Ever since I was a young girl, I dreamed of having a career that helped people. Growing up I had two younger siblings and I would help my mother take care of them as much as I could. I really enjoyed it and decided I wanted to become a nurse that worked with infants. I told my mother about my dream, I was nine years old at the time and she just gave me a heartbroken look and said, “That may never be able to come true because that job requires schooling and any type of education is far out of our family’s budget.” I was upset to be informed that.

The role of education in society has proven to service the people through the spreading of information, teaching of lessons and simply giving the gift of knowledge. With the gift of knowledge, we ultimately give the other the right and the ability, more importantly, to make their own informed choices. An educated mind can go beyond the limits set out by society and can make wise decisions regarding their health, success and general well being by simply using rationale. The level of education one obtains is directly related to the health of that individual, whereby it determines the person’s quality of life and life expectancy. Further more, one may be lead to believe that education is the most

Getting educated is very important for every person. It goes without saying that each of us has to have a proper education. We learn how to read, count and write. These are the basic abilities we acquire and use during our life. Is there any other purpose of education or it is aimed only at giving us a possibility to communicate our ideas and satisfy basic needs? During centuries, there were different interpretations of the purpose of education. Many scientists, pedagogues and philosophers tried to answer the question: what is the purpose of education? Taking into consideration the needs and tendencies of a modern society, we can assume that the purpose of education is to prepare students to be self-sufficient citizens capable of solving

Education reform is a topic that every student, parent and teacher should be interested in because it effects everyone in the community. Many different approaches to education reform have been tried, and even though they seem to work for the time being, there are always more improvements that need to be made. One of the best ideas that has been discussed in the most recent years is getting the parents and students more involved in the actual reform process. Many school administrators see a problem with involving students, even though they are the ones most affected by the changes within schools. Student’s opinions should be taken into consideration because they are the ones who see what happens inside the school and within the classroom, and are the most affected by it. Involving parents and students in the reform of their schools will improve the quality of education, improve parent and teacher relationships and reduce parent and student complaints.
