The Importance Of Education In Education

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.

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.

George Washington stated, “The best means of forming a manly, virtuous, and happy people will be found in the right education of youth. Without this foundation, every other means, in my opinion, must fail” (Educational Quotes from our Founding Fathers, Tilus). Most schools have an education mission statement that usually talk about a goal of preparing students for a mix of lifeline success, citizenship, college, and careers. Although many schools have great education, as a whole, schools are failing to teach kids character by failing to teach morality. Instead, the American education system bases the education off standardized testing. There must be a revolution in education from moral relativism to Judeo-Christian values in order for the next generation to receive the full benefit of education.

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.

A large part of what teachers do in the classroom circles back around to student assessment. The nation has been consumed by a “moral panic,” which is the tendency to lay blame on public school teachers when there is an economic or social crisis (Denby, 2016). Even though moral panic is a misleading concern (since it does not logically follow to blame current teachers for influencing the behaviour of citizens who had different teachers), professional educators still ought to maintain the responsibility to improve their instructional methods and appeal to the changing needs of all students. The education system and its teachers hope to implement productive academic reforms, which reassures the need for measuring the effectiveness of teachers and the performance of students. I feel the need to discuss what I have learned and what I will do as a teacher by being mindful of my student’s experiences and constructing a class where students are encouraged to enhance their knowledge and have the academic supports to do so. I will examine the fundamentals of learning that takes place before the knowledge is assessed, how I will prepare students for high-stake tests, what my assessments will aim to measure, and the importance of improvement from one assessment to the next.

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).

The United States’ education system prioritizes subjects such as science, technology, engineering, and math because the world is becoming increasingly technological, which means that a much greater portion of the future job market will be in STEM related areas. From a government standpoint, placing greater focus on STEM subjects in schools makes sense because it will translate into greater economic prosperity later on, but the sole aim of education should not be bolstering the economy. Instead, the aim should be raising mentally-sound individuals with multifaceted intellect. To achieve this, the early education system should regard all fields with equal weight. Unfortunately, STEM subjects have been provided more resources at the expense of other non-STEM subjects, with the arts taking the biggest hit. This is especially problematic, because the arts are unlike any other non-STEM related fields which are taught during early education; only in the arts are students given a chance to express themselves.

In our country’s education system, one can still see the effects history had on its shaping. People that cannot afford a private education are not getting a strong enough education to help them continue on in life. Henrietta Lacks was a woman who had only a few years of primary level education because she had to quit to help on her farm for money. Because she had very little of an education, she had no knowledge of what was happening to her when she would go to the doctor. The doctors took advantage of this and took her cells without her knowing. Henrietta was not able to obtain a quality education due to the fact that her family was poor and needed her help on the farm. Poverty directly correlates with education in that impoverished people do not get equal opportunities in schooling nor are they raised and influenced the same outside of school.

The report also recommended that nurses ought to be highly educated and well trained. This would require the improvement of the education system that they have to go through (Donelan, Buerhaus, DesRoches & Burke, 2010). In order to ensure high quality healthcare, the education system should be improved to enable nurses to acquire more competencies such as leadership, collaboration, teamwork, evidence based practice, system improvement, health policy and research among others. There should be opportunities for smooth progression from diplomas through degrees, masters to PhD in congruence with the principle of lifelong learning.

Arguably teaching is one of the most powerful careers offered to the public today. The impact educators have on their students is insurmountable, possibly lasting the child’s entire lifetime. This is why educators should be dedicated to being a positive impact on the child’s life, and creating a safe classroom environment. Educators can successfully do this if they are aware of the developmental, behavioral and social needs of their students, fully comprehend the impacts of trauma and poverty as well as use differentiation strategies to support the needs of these students.

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).

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.

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,

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
