The Importance Of Education In Schools

I believe school is exceedingly important. In Mark Mathabane’s story Kaffir Boy it states, “I want you to go to school, because I believe that an education is the key you need to open up a new world and a new life for yourself, a world and life different from that of either your father’s or mine,” (78). This quotation is important to me because, I believe an education is key and you can change your whole life by having an education. An education will help you learn necessary skills for life. Such as, learning to build relationships. Building relationships is significant for any job. Many businesses will get referrals from happy customers that they have developed a relationship with.

Education is a necessary asset as it prepares children for adult life teaching them critical thinking skills as well as providing access to knowledge about the world they live in. Education imparts life tools, developing intellect as well as personal character, largely impacting many students lives, biasing their roles and lifestyles as adults. Black children suffer from an inadequate education as a result of an issue we legally eliminated sixty years ago, race. Since whites have been given the upper hand black children struggle for equal access to quality education. Over the years white influence has caused hardships that limit blacks from access to equal education. Black children are deprived of a quality education because of the lack of choice available to them caused by the restrictions associated with their race, lowering their likelihood to succeed. Being in this predicament ignites little belief and causes profuse sacrifices, resulting in defining freedom in a country where freedom is supposedly accessible to all, rather as something that is not complimentary but must be worked for.

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.

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.

Education is clearly an essential aspect of criminality that should be implemented to rehabilitate juvenile offenders and lower their risk of reoffending. The previous studies addressed issues present by incarcerating youth, but further research must be done comparing the resources available to incarcerated youth, those in group homes, and those of probation, and their recidivism rates. Just under a third of juvenile arrests are of females, although they are a minority population they should be explored because they could offer a different perspective and understanding (Rhoades, Leve., Eddy, & Chamberlain, 2016, p. 337). Previous studies were focused almost exclusively on male participants, so research into how the justice system prepares girls to re-enter into society as adults. Most of the boys studied above were also white, so further research must be done to explore how race plays a factor. Moving forward, a more diverse sample group must be researched in order to provide more generalizable research of the population. For further research, a variety of systems and their effectiveness must also be evaluated.

adult life. Some people may even say that schools today teach their students to fail in life. Now it takes luck to get into a school that has valuable knowledge to give to their students. Some of the stuff that schools aren’t teaching that are very important are the simple stuff. For example, argumentative writing is a very simple and very important topic, yet some teachers won’t take the time to teach it. If teachers don’t take the time to teach this topic, then the students won’t know how to defend themselves in court. They would be completely unprepared because no one had ever taught them how to win an argument in the first place. Luckily though, there are some teachers who do teach the right stuff that kids need in the future. That still doesn’t change the fact that kids aren’t getting the right education they will need. Kids need to be taught the valuable stuff that they won’t forget and not the stuff that is not needed like dissecting a frog.

Education, a necessity for many people to become successful later in life. When the option for education is taken away from a person, it is more difficult to progress in a career. Many people that aren’t allowed to go to school are not executing their full potential and no one would ever know if that person would have amounted to greatness that our country needed. There are many reasons that people are not allowed to go to school, it is commonly because of sex, race or where someone’s from. That’s is why, “The only way we can fight back is to excel” an article by D. Russakoff has multiple testimonies from Dreamers that can no longer do things they were once able to do. The only way I feel like I can relate to this is where I grew up and how much harder for people to get an education.

The American education system has remained relatively unchanged for over a century, but the world we live in has changed immensely. We are surrounded by innovation, yet our nation still structures its institutions as it did in 1893. The United States used to be ranked number one in the world for the percentage of students that graduate from high school and obtain college degrees. Presently, 20 countries rank above the U.S. Many of our schools have little relevance to what is needed to prosper in the modern workforce. Presently, graduates need to be equipped with problem-solving and critical-thinking skills. The sole way to achieve this is by educating all students in a deeper learning environment. Unfortunately, a countless number of schools in America lack this setting. Instructors should strive to develop a classroom that will integrate and encourage deeper learning.Instructors should strive to develop a classroom that will integrate and encourage deeper learning. To achieve a better learning environment schools must incorporate new methods of assessment, provide exposure to working in groups, and give students the opportunity to explore their interests. As a result, students will want to learn at a profound level and have a deeper understanding of educational concepts.

Public education began in the nineteenth century, now the majority of people have received some sort of public education. Whether someone has received a middle school education or a college education, any education will impact someone's life. Throughout educations existence, many people have come to believe there are many flaws with its methods, which is limiting students. However, public education helps to promote students to gain educational knowledge, the knowledge someone gains will positively affect their future.

There is a famous quote by Miles Kingston that states, "knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad." Often people use the words Knowledge, Wisdom, and Education interchangeably. However, this is far from appropriate. Currently, being an educated individual does not necessarily mean that that individual is wise or knowledgeable but simply that he or she has had an "education" and therefore carries a level of status and qualification.

According to the book on page 363, “education is a social institution through which a society’s children are taught basic academic knowledge, learning skills, and cultural norms.” Every nation has some sort of educational system which teaches all of these thing and each system varies greatly. What affects the educational systems the most is the money that goes into supporting each system. Many factors come into the amount of money that is spent on educations. A main one is the wealth of the country that particular system is in. The countries that have little to nothing are barely able to support any kind of education, if any. This is a social concern for many countries.

The way you grow up directly affects how successful you are in the future. Many parents can’t provide as much to their children to give them the necessities they need for school, medical care, and even the basic needs. When it comes down to it, the way a kid is taken care of shapes who they are as a person and their development in this world.

The problem that has been going on in society for many years now is that children with wealthy backgrounds receive a better education than low income students due to the fact that wealthy people tend to send their children to private institutions that have a different curriculum than public schools. This problem has limited American equity because “Only 28% of high school graduates from high-poverty schools enrolled in four-year universities, compared to 52% of graduates from low-poverty schools” (Chen, pg 3). This is a very important problem because the education system isn’t helping students “dig their way out of the poverty into which they were born” (Chen, pg 3). The inequality of the educational system affects students

Education is a goal-oriented process during which people acquire knowledge and skills. It gives them an opportunity to obtain some desirable results from such knowledge assimilation in the future. Education increases the chances of a person to having a successful career and a secure life. According to Freeman Hrabowski in his article “Colleges Prepare People for Life,” “Yes, colleges prepare people for jobs, but more critically, they prepare people for life” (260). Some people could argue that there are a lot of wealthy or even rich people who do not have higher education. It is true. However, experts with the necessary knowledge are coming to the forefront nowadays, and it is very difficult to get this knowledge without education.

Education is a very important tool you need to live a successful life, Those students who actually take advantage of the education given to them are usually the ones with the most success. The students who don’t take advantage of the education given to them are the ones working a minimum wage 9-5 job. With some students, the education they’re receiving isn’t enough, nowadays most students worry about their elective classes, sports, and after-school activities more than their common core classes. Which are Math, English, Science, and History. In order to increase student success at school all around Anaheim, students should spend more time in their common core classes, rather than spending the same amount of time in their elective classes.
