The Importance Of Education In Education

Individualized education programs are a key component in special education. An IEP lays out the goals and methods needed for helping special education students reach their potential. These legal documents insure that all students are getting the resources they need in an education setting. Brewer and Diliberto use their article to explain a family’s experience with the IEP process and then offer tips to the reader to make their IEP meetings more successful. Brewer and Diliberto begin by telling the story of a kindergarten boy with behavioral issues. The article states, “At the beginning of the Sam’s kindergarten year, his teacher started sharing concerns about his behavior with Ms. Payton. According to his teacher, Sam was not able to sit still and was eating erasers” (Brewer and Diliberto,

Individual Educational Plans (IEPS) are a way in which teachers and the school system can address special services that provide programs for children with delayed skills or disabilities. A child that has difficulty learning and functioning and may be identified as a special needs student is the type of candidate for an IEP. However, in order for there to be a fairer way to administer and develop programs so that children may take advantage of them, there is a process and set of procedures necessary prior to implementing the IEP that is important so that fairness and equality are assured. In fact, one of the Special Education Standards, III, notes "The special education teacher knows how to communicate and collaborate effectively in a variety of professional settings." (See Ahearn, 2006).

Chris Van Allsburg thinks that "most people agree there is a component of skill in art making; you have to learn grammar before you learn how to write"(Allsburg). While the school is redesigning its English curriculum, they are trying to decide how much grammar should be taught and if it will be taught at all. While people may believe that grammar should be taught because today's youth has grown up with shortcuts, it is quite clear that grammar should still be integrated into the school's curriculum because it creates good credibility, prepares students for a successful life, and makes writing understandable.

Over the past several years, Oklahoma’s educational systems has struggled and faltered with the low budget given to them by the Oklahoman government. Teachers leave the state to find work elsewhere, students are pulled out of school and some classrooms are packed full with students to compensate for the lack of teachers. Many have suggested solutions to solve the budget crises educators are experiencing. Despite the differences in approach to fixing the issue, all can agree that education is important to future generations. School funding is a tough topic for teachers and Oklahomans. Some people the Oklahoman government needs to stop cutting taxes and needs to increase the funding for schools. Others believe Oklahoma needs to continue to cut taxes and allocate the proper number of funds to schools. Yet some believe teachers have enough funding. There is evidence to support several different solutions and evidence that address people that believe teachers make enough money.

Ever since we were born we have received to some extent a subtle form of education. We slowly learn practical and technical skills that develop as we become functioning members of society. Without the presence of intellectual, moral, and social instruction people would be lost. With no hand to guide us through the dark we could remain there, ignorant and oblivious to anything and everything around us. If education is the key to a more intellectual and competitive society then why is it being attacked. Louisiana particularly has taken some heavy hits to their education programs yet state officials cry out for better results. This steady decline has driven a wedge between ideal and realistic education. If the instructors are only providing at best realistic education then what happens when that isn’t good enough or when the people we trust to guide us fail. This directly contradicts the root meaning of education; educere which means to lead out. If our instructors or teacher fail to guide us to a more elevated state of mind then what are we left with?

Everyone in this world has a different behavior, this difference in behavior can be explained because of their experiences through life. One of the most dramatic impacts towards the development of a person’s behavior is the way they were educated as a child.This is where the topic of is physical punishment the correct form of educating children or not?The opposing sides state that children should not be educated by physical means such as spanking because it affects the child’s mentally also, children who are educated by spanking tend to be more aggressive and parents sometimes just use spanking as their own personal stress reliever. People that have to refer to physical punishment to get their points across are just taking the lazy way of parenting.

As Franklin D. Roosevelt once put, “Democracy cannot succeed unless those who express their choice are prepared to choose wisely. The real safeguard of democracy, therefore, is education.” There has been a noticeable change in the way empires ruled since the times when the “divine right” dominated society. When the French moved towards enlightenment thought, they had slowly dismantled the concept of “maintaining the status quo,” which cannot be sustained if an empowered mind is educated. Proper schooling has been instrumental for ensuring that useful, beneficial knowledge and skills are acquired by people who will, in turn, use these tools to form a progressive society. Without education, developing a strong sense of nationalism would be impossible as schooling allows patriotic beliefs to be transmitted from a state to its pupil. Similarly, education illuminates the past and promote nationalistic actions though developing an understanding of a great nation’s history. In the years before 1799, intellectual history has had its moments of eminence but it was lacking in many minds of the French. This push towards an educated mind had been undercut at every turn by the nobility, the church, and prominent political figures who utilised religion to “keep the common people occupied.” In the late 1790s’ France was still waging wars across the globe , the Directory abused its power to keep opposition at bay , and French pride was bleak. The stream of intellectual ideas, at the

Education is a diverse subject that is crucial working part in our society machine. We can thank our education system for what our world looks like today. Without education all our advances in technology, medicine, and critical thinking wouldn't be possible. Our teachers of the past, present, and future were and are some of the most important people to have walk this earth. They have touched the lives of many, and will continue to shape the minds of tomorrow. Yet, as well as our education system has done, their are still many issues that we must address as a whole. Issues such as Bilingual education and the hiring of unqualified teachers plague our education system.

In the opening of The Great Debaters Dr. James Farmer, declares “The most important job in America is the education of our young people”. Those teaching and being taught have accepted the responsibility of molding America’s tomorrow. We are stepping into ‘the hot spot’ as both the teacher and the taught, learning and giving lessons based more on character formation than fact memorization. You, I, personally are the teacher, life and its lessons, are the teacher. We are all the taught, but often, our education is invested into those who will be the future. We are teaching our young people, and allowing them to pursue otherwise unprecedented opportunities. To teach, and to be taught, it strengthens the mind, a tool that can never be taken away.

Amelia is a fourth-grade student at Parkade Elementary School. Amelia is identified as a student with Other Health Impairment and a Speech Impairment. Amelia’s Other Health Impairment and secondary qualification of Sound System Disorder adversely impacts her education. Amelia’s educational performance is impacted in basic reading skills, math calculation skills, written expression skills, executive functioning skills, speech skills, adaptive behavior skills, and physical education skills. Amelia is currently 9 years old and according to her IEP she receives special education services in physical education, adaptive behavior skills, basic reading skills, executive functioning skills, math calculation skills, math problem solving skills, and written expression. Outside of special education, she receives related services in occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech therapy. Amelia’s IEP states that she receives a total of 2100 minutes in her education setting. Amelia receives services during 648.75 of these minutes, 633.75 are spent in a special education setting.

If education had more money they could make their community a better place by allowing updates to be made when necessary. Education is in need of money due to the lack of funds they receive from the state. If tax money went to education this problem would solved. More money would increase teachers pay, pay for textbooks, supplies and food. Education is important to everyone around the world. Without an education, children would not have a knowledge unless learned at home. Education needs more funds to be able to afford the supplies needed for each and every school year.

56% which averages out about to 42,168,580 people of the world's population that are bilingual know the language English, however, out of that percentage, only 15% of them spoke English as their first language (Nemeth, 2017). Most of those people didn’t learn a language at the younger age when it’s a lot more simple as your brain was still developing. However, still today they don’t have bilingual in your average younger aged classroom when it can be used as a learning tool. One of the solutions that can help fix this is to start teaching the most common languages at the younger age. To do this though you would have to also add in the requirement of having teachers at the younger group level be bilingual. This can take time though, so in the meantime to put things in motion signs and materials can start to be used to help introduce different languages to children. Another is that lots of countries today are becoming more advanced in the language department at the younger age and eventually United States citizens are going to fall behind. There is the reasons that dispute this, as with the changing of the curriculum, you also need to have parents on board with it as well. The reason they might be is that of the price for certain things. Mostly today children that have a type of language lesson in their life have parents that are either paying for a more expensive school or videos and tools to use at home. Meaning adding it to everyday life does run into the possibility of

Teachers analogous to every other human desire for integration, collaboration and kinship, yet, encounter confinement and segregation. Ingersoll stated in 2012, “although elementary and secondary teaching involves intensive interaction with youngsters, the work of teachers is done largely in isolation from colleagues. This isolation can be especially difficult for newcomers, who, upon accepting a position in a school, are frequently left to succeed or fail on their own within the confines of their classrooms—often likened to a “lost at sea” or “sink or swim” experience”.(http://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2012/05/16/kappan_ingersoll.h31.html). Veteran teachers consistently promulgated to me early in my career that I needed to earn my stripes to acquire credibility in the education profession. Morosely, those words pushed me towards isolation rather than collaboration. Wong states, “ New teachers want more than a job. They want to experience success. They want to contribute to a group. They want to make a difference. The best induction programs provide connection because they are structured within learning communities where new and veteran teachers interact and treat each other with respect and are valued for their respective contributions”. (p. 47) Similar to students, teachers need their administration to provide a working environment that includes structure, safety, compassion and trust from the onset.

Today’s education systems are deeply flawed. Schools attempt to conform the way students think, which then limits creativity and student’s ability to think for themselves. Schools are falling away from the true focus of education by replacing effective teaching with irrelevant assignments, only to overwork and severely stress the students. Since many students are focusing more on homework than real-life, they are losing precious time to explore passions and learn important life lessons. Schools today are not preparing students to be lifelong learners and successful participants in the real world at an adequate level.

We are in a point of education that change is inevitable. In the essays written by YoY o ma and by Graemer Wood a common position the both seemed to have was that education needs to be changed be it the way we approach teaching or learning. If we can improve the techniques then we are able to create a more successful life for future generations. The goal of education is to teach and to improve society as well as education. However, to improve an area one must work in that area and change the stability of that area such as how wood and Ma discuss.
