P Circle: Achieving The Purpose Of Education

The goals of public education revolve around three main areas that include; the political goals of schooling, the social goals of schooling, and the economic goals of schooling. These goals were placed with the idea that all children should receive public education whether you were poor or rich and schools focused on teaching about political views and the law to avoid conflicts. Schools were the focus of many hopes for political, social, and economic improvement.

Their main objective is to create a safe educational environment for the children to learn in to help them develop in all areas. The setting offers a variety of activities for the children to take part in which will develop areas of their holistic development which will work with the children to reach the goals set for them.

In Kisautaq Lenona Okakok’s essay “Serving the Purpose of Education” she discusses the education dilemma in her borough of North Slope, Alaska, where many of the occupants are indigenous people of the Inupiat. Western education was thrust upon the Inupiat people of Alaska, changing the traditional way they taught their children. Okakok explains why and how The Board of Education for North Slope, Alaska took entire control of their education system after having Western education try to influence their way of teaching. The way the Inupiat teach is different from that of Western education, not only do they teach a different language (Inupiaq), they also need to teach a different curriculum that is better suited for the people of the North Slope compared to that of Western education. Okakok’s essay analyzes the way Western culture and teachings influenced her own culture, and how the Inupiat have taken control of their own education again while using considerable examples to defend her claims.

One of the broad goals of education is to assist students in acquiring knowledge that they will need in order to succeed. It is essential for this goal to be met regardless of whether the student will be continuing on to college or entering the workforce. In order to achieve this goal, it will be

There are a number of universities in the United States that offer a liberal arts education. These particular universities encompass philosophy and theology as a part of their core curriculum. By taking such courses, students are enabled to learn and understand more about the world around them, as well as whom they are. A question concerning the existence of God and the role of each individual in society gives rise to speculation. In his article “Why Study Philosophy and Theology”, Dr. Peter Kreeft makes a bold claim which indicates that “anyone who is simply not interested in these questions is less than fully human…” He explains this claim by providing a continuing chain of arguments, in which each argument breaks down the proper reasoning

The goals of education are controversial and not many people can agree on what they are. A commonly shared opinion of the “purpose of education is to prepare students for the “real world” to “succeed””. Children are constantly being prepared for the workforce and what will

The purpose of public school education is to provide students with the tools and skills to continue to higher education, and to help them pursue their goals and dreams in life. It is meant to provide inspiring, positive and culturally affirming experiences that make students excited to learn and succeed. While many students are prepared properly in public schools, this is not true for all. For several students, education is not stimulating, and is dull and boring, or perhaps provides negative and detrimental experiences. Recognizing that there are flaws in the public school system is the first step to making positive changes in the system. A proper education is crucial a competitive society such as this one. Public education must provide for all children equally in order to to prepare them to control their own fate later on in life. Unfortunately, due to the inability to incorporate a multicultural curriculum, many times only students of the dominant culture are given a full and comprehensive education, while students of subdominant cultures and different backgrounds are left behind. This sets them back significantly, making it harder for them to compete in this society no matter how hard they work. While it is impossible for a single person to make the significant changes necessary to the institution of public education, if all government officials, administrators, teachers, parents, and students come together, significant changes can be made in a positive direction.

The purpose of education is to develop young minds with the values and principles that are required of a being a productive and thriving citizen. An education gives children the ability to think and reason critically. It is extremely important that children are educated to think for \right and wrong. For example, children that do not graduate high school. The number of adults in correctional facilities with high school diplomas versus those without are very unbalanced. The inmate’s that did not graduate high school, typically did not receive a solid foundation of the values, principles, and critical thinking skills needed to differentiate between right and wrong. Without a strong foundation, inmates’

The first purpose of education is opening a child’s eyes to the world around them. I believe in order for a child to be fully immersed in education, the parents, and the teachers, must be fully dedicated to make a lasting impact on a child. The parents need to start teaching the child at a young age and help the child strengthen their abilities throughout the years. This is similar to what a teacher needs to do. However, teachers have the tough, and wonderful, job of filling a child up with new information as well as strengthening their current abilities. Incidentally, the home environment a child grows up in and the classroom environment are vitally important for a child’s education. For instance, if a parent does not take on the role of a teacher in the early ages, the child will be behind the

I cannot write this essay without reference to study of my own experienced and my daughter’s- placed in the harsh environment of the government schooling system and its observations of the stark belief systems of “the child to fit the system” and not “the system to fit the child” with reference to the what education should be about. This means different things to different people. To some this means a teacher teaching and passive learning taking place, the outcome is expected at the end of each year that each child has to achieve the same outcome and is graded accordingly.

The education process is essential to the positive growth of our minds and our personalities. Education serves as the exercise that our brains need to become fully functional. Marian Cleeves Diamond writes, the nerve cells have more dendrites in college-educated people than in people with only a high school education. In addition, education helps to form and grow our personalities. The education process helps to give us the information and discipline that we need to shape our values and morals. If the education process was out of the equation then students would have to fend for themselves to learn these things. That can be a scary proposition depending on where they turn to.
