The Importance Of Education In Education

In the Finnish education system “the focus in education is on learning rather than testing...The only national examination... is held at the end of general upper secondary education” (“Education System” NP). To replace tests, they allow the teachers to be responsible for the assessment of each student’s achievements. This method also encourages students to self-assess their own work throughout the year in a way to improve themselves. The education in Finland is also at no cost, with the exceptions of books in higher levels and maybe adult education. Financial aid and grants are still available for any level of higher education (“Finnish Education in…” NP). This allows an equal access and opportunity for

The vital importance of how education works in our country needs to be centered around the best interest of the students. The more the curriculum is designed towards the close relationship to the individual student, the better the child will receive information and preform. The education in the United States is continuing to decline, and the only way for it to improve is if a drastic change is made. What change is needed? Well, if there are other countries that are excelling, then taking a look at the structure of their education system can help our country mold a new style of knowledge development.

The need for the educational system in Chicago, IL or in the entire United states of America is the ability to recruit, obtain, and retain effective and experienced teachers. Gone are the days where almost all of the teachers are actually invested in the education and success of our students. Grated a lot of the creativity was removed from the hands of our instructors because they practically have to teach standardized test. The focus have been taken off of children actually receiving and learning the life skills that they need as well as being enthused to learn because they have absolutely no interest in doing the same lesson over and over. Where are the lesson plans that allow for the student and the instructor to discuss world issues and news. The students have no place where they can express how they feel about the world going in around them. It's hard enough having to deal with life and it makes it even harder to have to hold it in.

During a student’s IEP meeting there are many people that take part in the decision-making. But I do believe that one thing I feel is the biggest challenge, is that administers tend to feel the child needs less support. When all the teaching staff begin to discuss the student’s areas of growth, or potential future goals they may not agree with the parent. For example, when the English teacher states that the students don’t read at grade level, but the math teacher say they can read the word problems. During the discussion of the students’ needs can be rhetorical, depending on what academic grade level they are assessed at. “Educators can ensure that their individualized education program (IEP) planning teams develop and implement a free appropriate public education, an education that confers meaningful educational benefits to students” (Yell, Shriner, & Katsiyannis, 2006, p. 5).

Education is a basic human right (“Primary and Secondary Education”). It is crucial for alleviating poverty, creating equality between different genders and races, improving health, maintaining peace, producing stability (Primary and Secondary Education). Every single person has the right and the responsibility to be educated so our world can grow and become more successful. The skills and knowledge learned in the classroom are not only helpful for counting and reading, but also in personal growth, people skills, and common sense. Education is crucial for a country's economy and poverty rate. In developed and developing nations, education has many differences in attendance, quality of teaching, content of curriculum, and post-primary education.

Education has always been a cornerstone of American society. However, the current educational system of the US as many issues. First, most public schools hardly teach many important subjects such as personal finance, entrepreneurship, and coding (Gerber). Furthermore, many schools are required to teach students about pointless material such as Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Qin Shihuangdi, and Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter. Second, in subjects such math and science, America lags behind most developed countries due to many teachers teaching a subject based off a particular standardized test such as the End of Course/Grade assessment (Chou). Therefore, the issues of low test scores in comparison to other developed nations and teaching students the wrong material in the American educational system need to be addressed.

Teachers are overloaded and overwhelmed with the daily, weekly, monthly, and annual progress monitoring requirements placed upon them by their departments of education and schools alike. With the constant forms and reports necessary to document their efforts and effectiveness, many are on the verge of burn out and disillusionment with the dream of truly being educators. Reaching out to a coworker who is worn and tattered by the regularly increasing demands for greater performance and one more mandatory curricular addition is an act of mercy and love. This is love for our fellow man and love for the futures of the youngsters placed within that teachers’ realm of authority.

I used to work with children with IDD, doing in home school building. I think that children with learning disabilities can be mainstreamed with standard classes and should not be at certain times of their schooling process. I feel it is a great idea to have separate classes and allow the child with a IDD additional consideration, such as due date modifications and extra time on test. I feel it is important to give children growing up what they need in order succeed in the world, and giving that child extra time to grasp and learn information can work out for the best. I strongly feel, the only time that children with a learning disability should be mainstreamed with a standard class, if they are showing tremendous progress in remedial classes and displays that they can uphold the same responsibilities as the other children in the standard class. It is not a smart thing to just mainstream these two types of classes together, because it runs the risk of creating other issues in their lives and academic failures, it needs to be a smooth transition from one type of learning to the next.

To finish my schooling I will have to pay for many different things. I will have to pay 6573 dollars Canadian for tuition to my university. I will have to pay between 700-1000 dollars for books in my chosen program. Finally I will have to pay 150 to 200 dollars for my transportation to and from my university.

More than 16 million, or roughly one in five were living in poverty in 2011, according to PBS that is higher than any other age group. We also know that education is a requirement for children in United States. This site states that students who live in poverty often come to school behind their fellow classmates in terms of literacy and language development. In Educating the Other America, Susan Neuman (2008) states that more than 50 years of research indicate that "children who are poor hear a smaller number of words with more limited syntactic complexity and fewer conversation-eliciting questions, making it difficult for them to quickly acquire new words and to discriminate among words.”

Learning, everyone in every Lifetime has learned something, but, do they all learn the same way? If the answer to that is no,then, How do people learn and why is the way that we as humans learn so significant, moreover for children? Well i can think of why, each child learns differently than another additionally, depending on their way of processing information, a traditional method of teaching might not reach them in terms of personal interest including intellectual individuality. This, along with Equally inspiring resources that is scarcely available, it makes learning things seem similar to a chore or a modern but ancient way of punishing someone for doing a bad deed or also as a way to persuade someone to lose themselves for something that all of a sudden doesn’t seem worth the trouble or time to get after strenuous work, to obtain, Primarily, A Certificate of completion.Furthermore, fueling the need to work hard, struggle, and eventually in due time crash and burn. My solution to this problem would be to change the course of the school system and leave the old ways of old school bland instructing and bring in a more hands on creative process to erase inaccurate groupings of incompatible students when it comes to learning effectively, and, efficiently, together, which reinstates my thesis that everyone everywhere are different, and even if they are they should have a chance to learn by being taught in a more effective long lasting way. Which brings me to my thesis, I

First, before I start I would like to say, many of these ideas and examples are from a video made by a man named Dave who did a similar project to this. I watched a video about how many schools and school systems are teaching things that don't need to be taught, and I started to question if some of the things we are learning in school are really necessary. With a job like an accountant or someone in a doctor's office, when will we ever have to use information about Andrew Carnegie? There are many things we are learning in school that we will most likely not need to know for a future career. There are many things we could learn instead of those things that could actually be useful for a job a student might want. I think it's just a waste of time to learn them and all these things are simply useless information. Sure it depends on what field you want to go into for example if you want to be a math teacher you will probably have to learn this stuff but we could still learn things that don't involve what job we have. For example, instead of reading a bunch of Edgar Allen Poe and his writing we could be learning how to get a job or how to vote. Why did we dissect frogs last year? Was it really useful to us? Did we learn anything that we will actually need in the real world? Personally, I don't think so. Just think of how much time you were in school learning things that you never used or never will use. Now imagine what else you could have done with all of that wasted time. With

The state’s educational system is responsible for cultivating the youth into prospects that can participate in competitive aspects of society. Many people expect that our educational system should fulfil this duty, and they also notice that this system is failing even at a fundamental level. “The most recent PISA results, from 2015, placed the U.S. an unimpressive 38th out of 71 countries in math and 24th in science” (U.S.

What is my life’s work? Well, I plan on dedicating my life to changing the lives of others. Spending every extra minute possible giving back to the community in some way. I feel as if I was made to strongly impact the lives of anyone I cross paths with. Becoming a teacher is one of the many ways I feel that I can achieve these goals. Teaching is so much more than just standing up in front of a classroom and spitting out a lesson plan day after day. Getting to know each individual student and their personal struggles is key to being a magnificent supportive teacher. It takes a strong minded individual to teach. Writing this paper has opened my mind to all the potential bad things that comes along with teaching. It is making me look deep inside and criticize if I really have what it takes to be a teacher. No one has ever asked me if there are any doubts I have had going into this field. I think I want to go into teaching in order to accomplish a better learning environment for students, particularly children with disabilities. I feel that children with disabilities are not getting enough support and encouragement they need to succeed. Every person with a disability is able to achieve something great with the right support systems set in place for them. With a teacher who pushes them to excel they will be living to their fullest potential. There are the many obstacles which make me doubt my capacity to become a teacher.

The third tenet is that school should have education that helps develop critical consciousness in their students, so that they are able to question social inequalities in the future. This includes exposing minority students to current discriminations through education, so that they can grow up and critique social inequalities, or by protecting themselves if they are minority students. To do this, teacher can engage students in social justice work, such as going to soup kitchens or helping the poor, so that they can gain personal experiences in dealing with social injustices (Morrison 442). One successful way of doing this is through allowing social issues to drive math instruction, so that students get to not only learn math calculation, but be exposed to social issues as well (Morrison 442). This is also supported in another reading, “And that’s just how it starts”: Teaching Mathematics and Developing Student Agency,” where Gutstein proved the success in using Math questions in developing cultural consciousness by exposing them to real-world mathematical projects. One of the projects involved students in understanding gentrification, by questioning students whether the developer should receive the city permission for paving a tiny park (Gutstein 428). In addition, students literally went downtown, to measure the distance of the park to downtown. At the end of Gutstein’s curriculum in Rivera, several of his students talked about the success of the programs, and how they
