I remember when my sister and I would play school with our friends. It was one of the best experiences that I had. It was this experience that helped me make up my mind about being a teacher. Now as I move through the different stages in the educational program, I have determined that I have developed certain beliefs. By teaching and working with children, people can see my beliefs. My philosophy towards education is progressivism. Progressivism can be found in my views about public schools, my teaching methods, and my curriculum.
First, my view towards public schools comes from my own experiences, as a student and from my observations. The main purpose of education is to teach students

Second, I determined that I have a progressivism view in my teaching method, which can be divided in to two groups. The first group is when students will use their knowledge and reason to solve questions. Some examples are problem solving, decision-making, and critical thinking, where they must come up with their own solutions to the problems. To teach this I will use some written problems or role-playing. I will have them play games that will stimulate them to think. One time I played brainteaser with the students, which was a game to help them with their SATS. Some knew all the correct answers, while others learned new information and had fun at the same time. The second group is having students interact with each other. Some examples are project-based instruction, cooperative learning activities, and scientific investigation. In this group they can help each other and learn new knowledge. Everybody thinks in different ways; because of this a different viewpoint can shine some light on the problem. Here as a teacher I can play games, put students into groups, or go on trips.
As a teacher, I will have my students help me come up with rules and discipline actions. I will listen to their views on anything in the classroom. Because of this, students will feel that they have their opinions heard and
I believe the public schools are under fire for reasons outside of their control. Ultimately, the State is responsible for legislation that is passed down to local school boards. While the school boards do have a say in local matters most of the expectations come from the state level. For this reason, I believe public schooling should be “redefined”. Fredrick M. Hess suggests we “reappraise our assumptions as to what constitutes public schooling.” I think reappraise is the perfect word to describe this thought process. Hess defines public schooling as the following “deemed to be those directly accountable to elected officials or funded by tax dollars.”
A typical "lay person" is not expected to participate in the development of science or technology while they may have influence in what should be studied through their need. Epstein argues that a "lay person" should not only be activists for a research but also participate in arguing the credibility of research. He uses the example of AIDs research and how it evolved into a highly publicized and politicized area due to an increase participation of AIDs activist. Another interesting idea presented is the move to emphasis the "victim" status of some who suffers from a disease as well as increased empowerment of sufferers. The general role that Epstein proposes hopes to equalize the doctor-patient relationship and give people a larger role in the regulation and research that may relate to them.
What was the ultimate fate of the Arawak Indians? Throughout history the Arawak where subject to many hostile take-overs, diseases, enslavement, damage to food supplies and much more. Inevitably, by the end of the 16th century the Island Arawak had become extinct.
We, as human beings, irrespective of our backgrounds, traditions and cultures, believe in certain fundamental ideals. We want all our children to have access to a good, overall education regardless of family income; we want to make sure that they are prepared for times to come; we want them to be responsible adults; and expect that these qualities are fostered in them through learning in their familial environments, friend circles and most importantly through the institution called school. The growing idea has been that these ideals may only be achieved through a universal centrally planned system of tax-funded schools, commonly known as “public schools”. People tend to misunderstand the ideals of public schooling and confuse them for

Texas is one of the biggest state in United state of Texas, with its population increasing 2.10% every year, Texas is the second fastest growing state in America.(US census) This makes Texas as one of the busiest state soon. With increase in number of people entering Texas there comes challenge that government will need to deal with. Some of them would be dramatical increase in transportation, consumption of energy and meeting up with the people’s needs with a same amount of natural resources. If I got elected as a member of a committee, I would like to join transportation committee, Natural resources committee, and energy resources committee so that I can work on my district as well as whole Texas towards building a proper
More importantly, creating positive student-teacher relationships can prevent discipline issues from arising. By establishing a persistent tone of mutual respect, students will participate in class activities with confidence that they and their opinions are valued. Students also should be taught how to appreciate the unique contributions each student brings to the class, as well as how to effectively resolve issues that may arise. I believe that demonstrating genuine respect to students and showing interest in their concerns will allow the effective use of instructional time, positive relationships to prevail, and minimal discipline problems to avail.
Public education has been able to provide the necessary education to students, despite its limited capabilities. Students are offered the same education in public schools as they are in private schools. Students make their choice on whether or not they want to apply themselves, and learn from the teachers in front of them. In private schools students are excited to learn. Maybe that is why they have better test scores. Students enrolled in public schools have a tendency to fail, or some succeed. These options are taken by students who who either try, or do not care. Either way, every student has an equal opportunity to gain an education.
Public school education is identical important and should be taken very seriously. It is the basis that leads to the future of everyone’s life. The people who begin to lay down the pathway for education are the teachers. Teachers in today’s public school system world are one of the utmost crucial people in America. They are the ones to encourage children to excel into their greatest self. Without teachers, society would face a drastic downfall. There would not be many professions around. There would not be any doctors to help save people’s lives there would not be any police officers to protect and serve, there would not be a president to lead this country. The public school education system as a whole is something that has been over

The qualities of a hero include selflessness, having the inspiration to be a founder and being courageous. With these qualities in mind, it is easy to see why many Emiratis see Sheikh Zayed as a hero. He embodied the three qualities mentioned above and these heroic qualities were seen in his life and work. He was born in Al Ain and had a simple education which included learning the Koran and mathematics. His education also involved activities which tested his courage such as hunting, spending long hours in the desert, often without food or water. His father was also a leader so Sheikh Zayed was also destined to become a leader. It is certain that he
