The Importance Of Education In Education

It is my aim through this assignment to study the ideas and principles of Paulo Freire. I will examine the relevance of these principles to the principles and practice of informal education, drawing on my practice and how my practice relates to both the ideas of Paulo Freire and the principles and practice of informal education in general.

Lynda Barry's writing demonstrates to the reader that schools are more than just institutions that provide learning spaces. Ideally, every kid in a classroom should be living a happy life outside of school. But in reality, this is seldom the case, and some kids are living a rough time at home. Family values are fundamental to a kids' development, yet every day it seems families get disoriented with disputes life troughs in their paths. Forgetting of what truly is important. The school is like a second home to some kids. Barry's essay demonstrates this by explaining the effect school had on her. As a result, she sees the janitor in which she is delighted to see and quickly sparks a smile on her face. Another example is when she sees her teacher Mrs.LeSane and goes up to her and cries. Finally, the last case is the therapeutic value of art Mrs.Lesane believed on.

With more education in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, children will be better prepared for challenges they will face in their lives. If kids are more educated in STEM, then they become outstanding citizens in their communities, and across their countries. Researchers have conducted many experiments about people interested and educated in STEM, and compared them to people not as intrigued or experienced. The data collected leads to numerous amounts of behavioral and intellectual skills, however, one stands out in particular that all citizens should be aware of. People who excel in STEM, those who make things, and those that are inspired by science, typically are better at problem solving, they have better social skills, and they are more likely to make a difference in the world.

The United States of America is nowhere near being one of the most educated countries in the world. “The U.S. ranks No. 18 in perceptions of an educated population, just above South Korea and behind Italy” (https://www.usnews.com/news/best-countries/articles/2017-08-25/most-educated-countries-according-to-perception). There is no single solution that can cure the education system without causing other problems in the students and teachers lives. However, if the US were to have year round school, they would have more rigor to learn, and wouldn't be behind other countries.

The association between birth spacing and formal education in the context of age at marriage is complex. The length of time a girl remains in formal school reduces her time spent in marriage during her reproductive life, and in turn shortens her window of childbearing years. Furthermore, by forcefully removing girls from school at an early age they are unable to receive the proper information and knowledge involving sexual and reproductive rights and health (Myers & Harvey 2011; Jain & Kurz 2007). Often under pressure from her husband, family, and society to prove her fertility, girls tend to have more frequent, poorly spaced births when married young compared to their adult married counterparts (Nour 2006). Benga et al. (2013) found that in rural communities in southern Ethiopia short birth intervals were almost twice as likely for mothers who had no formal education compared to their educated counterparts. Similarly a different study in Ethiopia by Hailu and Gulte (2016) found that women who had no formal education were three times more likely to experience short birth intervals when compared to their educated counterparts. This is in line with a study from northern Iran that found the length of birth interval significantly increased when women have a higher level of education (Hajian-Tilaki et al 2009). The length of inter-birth intervals studied in Tanzania was related to the maternal level of educational attainment such that as the level of education increase,

The question of should girls and boys be taught separately is a question that is constantly being discussed and the answer is no, they shouldn't. An obvious reason for coed teaching would be the lack of gender equality in America already, separating girls and boys would just be back-tracking all the hard work that both men and women have for worked for to have equality between genders. Another reason would be if schools taught males separate from females, the learning would be unbalanced, an article called “Should boys and girls be taught separately in our schools?” written by former teacher and a researcher at education think tank LKMco Ellie Mulcahy, states that “In 2016, 76% of psychology and 73% of English A-level entries came from girls. On the flip side, more than nine in 10 young people taking computing A-level are boys.” Students should be provided the same education to produce a more unbiased society.

Why do you want to go into special ed. / inclusive/ general ed./ teach in your content area?

George Mombiot pulls few punches when talking about the modern educational system and its pitfalls. In Monbiot’s eyes it is a “defying dehumanising system” (2017, para 7) that inevitably leads to the end of creativity and natural, child-like curiosities; both are things Monbiot believes should be focused on and encouraged, a point that many people agree with, but few have acted on. There are schools and individuals making significant strides in changing the way curriculum is administered, but a large-scale implementation seems like a long way off. Bigger issues remain regarding the fundamentals of our current system that need to be addressed before we try and move on from it. We can not simply abandon the basics in favour of specialized education; we need to find a balance.

Lynda Barry talks to her readers that the school environment has the ability to provide its students with a space to escape personal problems, like unstable homes. She expresses her belief that without these foundations many young people, like herself, would

What is the goal of the United States’ K-12 education system in the 21st century? While it may be worded in a variety of ways, it is well known that the main goal is essentially to equip our students with the skills necessary to succeed on their own after K-12 education. However, many of today’s high school graduates are not experiencing the achievement of this goal. In order for success after K-12 education to happen the students must possess the intrinsic motivation for overcoming obstacles, and the confidence in their ability to do so. With much of education involving a right and wrong answer it is easy for students to feel like they can either succeed or fail. In contrast, education through the arts with a design thinking approach allows students to have a learning experience where the best solution to a problem is not given to them, but rather found by them throughout the design process. This process gives students the opportunity to learn from their mistakes, gain confidence in their ideas, and develop a motivation that comes from within. Thus, through design thinking pedagogy and the integration of the arts with other disciplines, as seen in STEAM curriculums, educators are able to facilitate this type of learning experience and therefore better equip students with the tools for success.

Looking at River Bluff and Lexington School District One, many schools here can get the newer technologies, better teachers, and newer buildings without a problem. Near I-95, many schools, teachers, and students are suffering from inadequate funding. The schools are struggling to keep teachers and the area is only getting poorer. In order for these schools to be helped, they need money from the state. The Corridor of Shame should receive more state funding because the students are not getting an adequate education causing high drop out rates and an inability to leave the community. In order to get an adequate education, the schools need good teachers to support these children.

As an institution, the school possesses a unique influence over a given community by way of their youngest and most malleable members. From a sociological standpoint, the school serves two purposes education, which consists of the content knowledge and skills such as reading and writing, and socialization the focus of the field. The socialization process, also referred to as schooling covers an array of things that lie just below the surface of the curriculum. The notion that schools have ulterior motives regarding what students are taught and how they’re socialized is not necessarily new to the public, especially in the United States. deMarrais and LeCompte in their book The Way Schools Work hone in on the sociological theories that have developed over time to explain the ways in which schools socialize their students and the intentions, positive, and critiques. In their book, they compare two broad purposes for schooling, social transmission and social transformation in addition to the four well-established theories that fall under the aforementioned purposes functionalism, conflict theory, interpretivism, and critical theory. Although each theory holds relevancy and is still applied to the classroom today two theories, in particular, are considered more controversial and are contested on at a higher frequency in comparison to the others. Functionalism, a theory that has been embedded into the American educational system since the formation of the country and critical

Your grades represent who you are. ‘Get into a good university’, your parents are always asking. What happened to the other 5 percent? Become a lawyer or a doctor, that is all that matters.

Education represents an avenue of growth for youth, as well as exploration of passions. The classroom is traditionally held as a place of thought and growth, in which young minds can explore a great expanse of intellectual fields to develop their own interests and passions. Contrary to this ideal, modern classrooms have developed into an institution of manipulation, coercion, and conformity, placing the interest of corporations ahead of the development of the youth.
