The Importance Of Education In Education

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.

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

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.

The thought of being educated or not being educated properly frequently appears in the minds of students. Move on When Ready students experience this lack of knowledge the most. Being dual-enrolled not only means being enrolled in college and high school at the same time, it means you experience both sides of the education spectrum. One side teaching the bare minimum, the other reflecting on things you wish you would’ve learned already. Often times, not knowing the subject frequently causes struggle learning or comprehending properly. Dual-enrollment students experience the feeling of an abandoned whelp attempting to survive on its own; the only option left to us will be to teach ourselves on how to study, annotate, and develop forms of personal responsibility.

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.

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.

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

According to the Census Bureau, PreK-12 teachers represent the largest occupational group in the nation, and the profession is becoming even larger. In recent years, the hiring of teachers has far outpaced student enrollment; from 1987-2008, total K-12 student enrollment in U.S. schools including public, private and charter schools combined — increased 19 percent. By comparison, the teaching force rose by 48 percent over that same period. Since 1950, America’s public schools in particular have seen a 96-percent increase in students that has been accompanied by a 252-percent rise in teaching staff.

In the classroom, teachers lack the training to effectively teach a foster child. To be able to promote educational stability for the child, it is paramount that the teacher is in communication with the foster parents. In an article by National Center Brief, the authors list the appropriate responsibilities of a teacher when caring for a foster child (7,8). The list includes having monthly meetings with the child’s foster parents, caseworkers, and principal to catch each other up on how the child is doing and how they can better plan the child’s educational future. One of the ways teachers can better aid children in the foster care system is by looking at their educational assessment prior to being in foster care.

The education system has been established in order for all members of the communities to receive a fair and equal education opportunity. However, there are many variables that take place and all students receive the same opportunities. The students who live in poor areas tend to struggle more in school because it carries on to the school grounds. Those schools seem to have more difficulty keeping students engaged and on track. For some reason, the students at a low performing school are usually minorities and the school environment is not considered a place for them to thrive. Many teachers may find it difficult to teach in those schools because there is a lot of chaos at times. Therefore, keeping competent teachers is not always possible and that negatively affects the students education as well. Trying to close the gap between low performing schools and those that do well is not an easy task. The effort of school administrators to bring programs to help low performing schools and educating those families who’s children are affected is important because it can help enhance their opportunity to succeed educationally.

In my old elementary days, I was always struggling with my work. I was falling behind, stuck on questions, and eventually frustrated with myself while the other students were steps ahead of me. I was a shy kid back then, so getting my teacher’s attention was difficult for me; my teacher’s attention would always go to the kids who were considered smart and all the praises would go to them. At those moments, I would sulk at my desk waiting to see if someone would notice me, but no one came. Eventually, I was accompanied with an ELL teacher and they would pull me out of class to help me read, do math, or anything I was struggling on. It was fun for the most part, I would always have a conversation with my ELL teachers. This lead me to become more aware of my weaknesses and learn from my mistakes because they would help me in ways that got me to think for myself. I know that children who are in the same situation as me never got the help that they needed and honestly; without the help of my ELL teachers, I would have never become the person I am today. This is why the education system in America should be changed because, using the stories: The Secret to Raising Smart kids and Marita’s Bargain, I believe that hard work and more school days would benefit children from actually learning.

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.

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.

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

As one of the building blocks to a successful career, education can, and should, be viewed as one of the most important experiences any person will undergo in his or her lifetime. It leads people down a path of discovery in order to help them establish what they want to pursue for the rest of their lives. However, without professional, experienced educators and effective teaching methods, students can never expect to reach their full potential. For this reason, legislatures from all countries should take steps to improve their schools and the techniques they utilize.
