The Importance Of Education In Education

Schools are not Teaching what is Necessary for Students to Succeed Outside of the Classroom

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.

Throughout my school experience, I had a problem called IEP. It is a program that will help me succeed in school, which shows that I have a learning disability that I think is not entirely true. I think the word IEP has a different meaning. In reality, I never really wanted to be an IEP student. Because I knew there was a different meaning to what they always told me. The way I realize this is the way I have been treated in the type of accommodation I receive and they are all great and all but they make me feel less of a student more like a student in need and I really do not want to feel that way.

One of the many things teachers must accommodate to are the different types of ways students learn and process new knowledge. There are seven different types of learning styles that teachers should try to integrate into their lesson plans. These include is visual (spatial) learning which is where a student processes information through images to understand the lesson. Students who use this learning style typically use the occipital lobes located at the back of the brain which are used to manage the visual sense. Another typical learning style is aural (auditory-musical) learning which includes the use of sound or songs such as catchy jingles that are used to remember information. Students who are aural learners use their temporal lobes especially on the right side of the brain which is very important for the processing of music. Verbal

Throughout the years, there have been many concerns over the state of the American educational system regarding the academic performance of students. In addition, there have been other issues regarding education that need to be addressed; a few examples question the heavier involvement from the U.S. Federal Government and segregation amongst students. During my time volunteering at the Knox County Museum of Education, I’ve learned about the history of Knox County schools and have gained valuable insight on some of these pressing matters that have been affecting our community. As time unfolds, few realize the importance of educational systems and how they play a key role in early childhood development. Through research, we can gain a better understanding of how society functions because it is closely linked with our educational system.

Society has defined a single method that will potentially enable people to land a high paying job they may enjoy. This method consists of students going to a university straight out of high school. Ken Robinson has essentially claimed that the “misconception of education in high schools have taken a turn towards a mechanical process instead of a human system.” (Robinson) In this case, it provides the opportunity for a more diverse system that incorporates a broad and flexible curriculum. High schools must turn creativity in a standardization instead of an option. This would allow people to awaken their personal creativity skills and apply them to jobs and everyday life once out of school. This will benefit high schools because the dropout rate may decrease since students are developing skills through creative work being done. The Neoliberal Arts claimed that education is changing and it’s not for the better, “College is seldom about thinking and learning anymore.” (Neoliberal) This may be because career focus is based on money over learning, which some colleges strive more towards. The Neoliberal Arts article also mentioned STEM education and whether or not it is following its responsibilities. It seems this particular education is only focusing on the Technology/Engineering aspect and not the Math/Science. This can be related to the 60% dropout rating that Ken Robinson’s TED TALK stated since math and science classroom may not be emphasized as much as it needs to be.

veys their drive to acquire an education as well as their work ethic; therefore, this being a main reason why colleges should continue to use standardized testing and view their academic excellence.

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.

Children not only look to their families for support, but also to their teachers. Teachers play a fundamental role in supporting students who have attracted disability labels. In fact, “any practice that enables individuals to examine their self-perceptions of their learning disability increases the likelihood of them gaining a more favourable perspective of their overall well-being” (Rothman & Cosden, 1995, p. 211). It seems as though including the student in the individualized educational program (IEP) process could help initiate these conversations. When students are included in, or even direct the IEP process, they are able to better recognize their strengths and what they need to do, or need from others to be successful (Seong, Wehmeyer, Palmer, & Little, 2015, p. 133). Students are then able to recognize their positive attributes rather than only the negative attributes associated with disability that they are so used to hearing (Rodis et al., 2001a, p. 18). When students, regardless of ability, recognize that they are supported by their teachers, success, and a more positive sense of self is likely to occur (Hutchinson, 2017, p. 282).

We have come a long way since the days of institutions for human beings with disabilities. We now know that individuals with disabilities are quite capable of learning and contributing to society. In the present day, however, the question is not should disabled people be educated, but how best to educate them. Many now believe that the inclusion classroom is the best learning environment for those who are disabled. Still others feel that a self-contained classroom is a better fit for their educational and social needs. In this paper, both types of classroom settings will be addressed, with emphasis on the self-contained classroom being the most effective of the two. It is important that a disabled child's educational needs are put before their social needs. Therefore, they must have their own classrooms that will allow them to learn at their own pace and way.

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.

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

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.

“Give me a minute,” that is all it takes to save a person’s life. Annually, stress kills approximately 110 million people, which is equivalent to seven deaths every two seconds. In a manner of seconds we could save plentiful lives. Compare to other countries, the United States stand in the medium to high range of stress and only stands 20th place out of 35 industrialized countries for education. Countries like Finland, Japan, and South Korea stand in the top rank of the world for their education and still continue to improve exponentially, while the United States isn’t trying as hard enough. The reasons behind it is the tremendous amount of homework, the pressure of standardized testing and the requirements they have abide to. This undesirable education system hinders the students with stress and affects their test score, which causes the United States to be in 20th place. The students desire for an education that will benefit them and changing in criteria such as limited standardized testing, lessen the tremendous amount of homework and changing the schedule.
