In Girls and Education 3-16: Continuing Concerns, New Agendas, Jannette Elwood, a research professor focused on the field of examination and assessments, contributes a chapter titled: Exploring girl’s relationship to and with achievement: linking assessment, learning, mind and gender. In this section, she discusses gender differences in success of academic courses emerge based upon whether a final grade is primarily reliant on coursework, by which girls tend to excel, or reliant on exams, by which boys tend to excel (44).

After reading Frank Conroy's "Think About It", it is clear that education play vital role in our life. It is the main tool for us to succeed in life and achieve something different in a competitive world. Education is what help us to know the meaning of difficulty in our life. Whether in a good sense or bad; it helps us to understand why we are in this world. Education not only helps to understand but aware what is it value in our life and why we need it.

Additionally, I agree with George Fox when he talked about “Christ himself has come to teach his people”. Christ was the true servant-leader, by deed and by word. Christ was the model for us to follow. What I disagree with is he left individuals on earth to spread the word, through written word and by word of mouth. The good news

The Souls of Black Folk, written by W.E.B DuBois is a collection of autobiographical and historical essays containing many themes. DuBois introduced the notion of “twoness”, a divided awareness of one’s identity. “One ever feels his two-ness – an American, a Negro; two souls, two thoughts, two unreconciled stirrings: two warring ideals in one dark body, whose dogged strength alone keep it from being torn asunder” (215). There are many underlying themes in this collection of essays. One of the themes that DuBois speaks on extensively is education.

The younger son, Richard Rodriguez, wrote his story of growing up and being educated in his family. He explains, very early in his life education change him and brought upon him. School focus his to speak only English, his parents encouraged him becoming an educated person and they pushed him to work hard at school. At the same time his parents didn’t want him to forgot his language and culture. After that he challenge himself, speak more English than Spanish until English become his primary language. The more he successes the less he connects with his family, this is a big effect his family life, his parents would feel so painful about his life had changed. In his reading see like he doesn’t happy with his successes.

Education not synonymous with schooling because a person who is educated does the polar opposite of what the school system and our society desires. An educated individual “think[s] critically and independently” instead of reflexively obeying, failing to question authority, and refusing to ‘think outside of the box,’ as the old saying goes (Gatto). This person is not “conditioned to dread being alone, and seek constant companionship through the TV, the computer, the cell phone, and through shallow friendships…” Instead, they possess the ability to find solace in being by themselves in addition to “develop[ing] and inner life so that they will never be bored,” (Gatto). Lastly, Gatto asserts that education is studying “the grown up material, in history, literature, philosophy, music, art, economics, [and] theology,” which are the subjects he claims that instructors are conditioned to

Rodriguez has spent his entire childhood with his nose superglued to an open book. He read as many books as he could get his hands on - hundreds by the time he reached his freshman year of high school. He neglected his real world relationships because he spent more time focusing on the relationships in the literature he was reading than on the people and the life that was really around him. I believe that Rodriguez wrote this essay because he finally had the realization that he might have let his scholarly ethics (while they had good intentions), dictate his past in a negative way. I think when he talks about how he reached “the end of education,” he is referring to the point in his life where he made this realization; the point when he finally began to be fully present in his own life.

Christ is the central person in Christian discipleship. Without Christ, Christianity would not exist and there would be no followers of Christ. To be true followers of Christ, believers must be willing to learn of the ways and teachings of Christ. Christ is central to Christian discipleship because He is the teacher of His disciples. Through the Holy Spirit and Word of God, Jesus Christ calls His disciples to Him and then

To determine if a person is considered to be an educated person, we must first know the definition of an educated person. The definition of an educated person is someone who can, “Listen, hear, read, understand, talk with anyone, write clearly, persuasively, and movingly, can solve a wide variety of puzzles and problems, they respect rigor not so much for its own sake but as a way of seeking truth, they practice humility, tolerance and self-criticism, they understand how to get things done in the world, they nurture and lastly, they empower the people around them. Education is an endless growth through trials and experiences as stated by Eleanore Hanrahan, from “Seeking My Education,” out of the novel, “Criteria.” In order to claim a proper education I believe one must make independent decisions, balance life well, take opportunities, push through failure, and step beyond the normal measures of life by experience. Going to college is a significant change for many.

Deshawn did have a choice, for DeShawn could have gone to school. In the book, a teacher told Deshawn he was really smart and could go to a school to get a better education at Hewlett Academy in Beach Hill. When DeShawn was asked if he wanted to go to school. For example on page 81 DeShawn says, I may even go to Hewlett Academy in Beach Hill.” Another example is on page 14 when it says, ‘“Gonna join the Disciples someday?” “No, Sir. Gonna stay in school and out of trouble.”’ Therefore, before DeShawn became worried about money and girls he cared about school, and if he would have made the right choice DeShawn could have become a cop or a janitor very easily.

Everyone in the nature side's claims that our mind is a blank slate. That everyone's personality will be developed during childhood, and the adults in their surroundings can impact in their personality. John Locke was a philosopher who states that everyone's mind is blank slate or a tabula rosa. From the book “Some Thoughts concerning Education” by Margaret J. M. Ezell, ¨A child's mind must be educated before he is instructed, that the true purpose of education is the cultivation of the intellect rather than an accumulation of facts." (umich.edu) A child neither can be inherently good nor bad. Everyone identities are based on their experience through their lifetime events and their models throughout their lives.

The two pieces I will be covering in this essay are “ I Just Sued the School System” and “Somewhere in America”. The first one consists of a man named Prince Ea who created this short movie/slam poem where he is in court and suing the school system for being unfair, cruel and old school. Prince backs up his ideas completely with examples in history. The other piece I am comparing is three girls, Belissa Escobedo, Rhiannon McGavin and Zariya Allen, who share their unspoken high school eperiences.

Education is needed for individuals to function in society. Without the proper tools, people would be a burden instead of an asset. To become an asset, individuals need to be exposed to those elements which would enrich their lives through knowledge. Knowledge in our society is basically learned through education. The basic knowledge each person should receive from an education is the three R’s; reading writing, and arithmetic. These mediums will enable a person to survive in today’s society.

The term ‘education’ can mean many things. An education is the collective knowledge a person has, but what does an education mean? Although an education can be paid for, no one can physically give you an education, so it is not a gift. There are societal situations where an education is a necessity, but not many globally. Education is a tool to be utilized differently in every part of the world. Knowledge is power, but some knowledge is more powerful depending on your region. If you are part a primitive tribe in New Guinea, a person that is considered to be educated may be illiterate. Whereas in America, an illiterate person would have trouble functioning at all in society. Education is a tool that is to be

Jesus Christ of Nazareth was the supreme preacher of all time. The Son of God serves as an example for us to follow in pastoral ministry. During his earthly ministry, Jesus called down the false teaching of the Religious leaders of his days. In fact, Christ was crucified by the Religious leaders for preaching the true doctrines of God’s Word.
