The Importance Of Education In The U. S. Education

America now is a very culturally diverse nation; most of the minority and immigrant population lives in cities, which indicates that the public school classrooms in urban areas are full of versatile cultural identities. According to the 2000 Census record, minority and immigrant populations has grown in increasing numbers, and most of those people live in urban areas and attend public high schools; also, the level of residential segregation still remains as high as in 1990, which proposes new problems for immigrants and minorities. Monocultural schools are very rare and the global society is very multicultural; it is very logical to prepare students in schools to enter this diverse society (Le Roux 48). Teachers are largely responsible

Graduate Education today shows traces of its European ancestors. The influences range from Greece, Egypt, Italy, Spain, and many others. American education has evolved and manifested throughout the thousands of years of its existence. We can directly trace the roots back to our European ancestors, with the education that exists today in America.

I believe that for me to get a free education in the United States is a blessing. My mom would always say "Echale muchas ganas a la escuela", which translates to "Put a lot of effort into school". Going to school, I was able to learn how to speak, read, and write in English along with other things. My educational experiences had a variety of good and bad moments, but over it allowed me to be where I am now.

All my life I’ve always lived in communities where a lot of people experiences different kind of struggles. I was raised in the Philippines where I saw and personally experience different kinds of struggle faced by many people. From poverty, crime, and corruption. When I went to high school here at United States, I saw some similarities between that school and in my country. Hall High School was infamous for having bad student reputation. I even saw many young people getting arrested inside the school for some horrendous crimes. But, I don’t blame those students, they are just victims of our flawed community. Around 70 percent of students in Hall High are African-American, more than 20 percent of students are Hispanics. Basically, more than 90 percent of students are from minority groups where many of them are being treated unfairly by our current society here in United States. I understand and sympathize what they are going through. No matter whether i moved from the Philippines to United States, I still see many

In America I have been told your education costs you millions. Here education is universal and state-funded by the government. We go through one year of kindergarten, four years of primary education, six years of secondary, and then on to university. Schooling is very important to us here because this is where we learn the great ideologies of collectivism and our all powerful leader. We are taught only to achieve the goals of the state, and learn almost nothing about the useless outside world. Our literacy and knowledge of the North Korean system is so high that knowing anything about any other civilization is not needed.

The topic on whether education is considered a human right or privilege has been one of the most interesting debates around the world. If people are continually denied access to an equal education, then their words would go underneath and their voices would go unheard. All those who were denied the human right to be able to express their ideas would ultimately lead to an even larger division between the classes. Each and every one has the right to an education that will equip them to achieve a suitable life and be a valuable part of society. Without providing higher education as a right, America would not be living up to “the land of opportunity” ("Free Higher Education Is a Human Right | Huff Post,").

In America, citizens have the right to obtain an education that will withstand the test of time. This education that is given to us at no cost for twelve years of our lives is a gift like no other. Our school systems employ professionals to teach each individual student what they must know to be successful in life. I have been particularly blessed to make it through my primary education with the fondest of memories. I had the opportunity to start school in pre-kindergarten, continue to Junior High, and now I am experiencing college while being a senior in high-school. Sadly, it is common that many students will not have an experience like mine. In a short essay called An Indian Father’s Plea a Native American father, Robert Lake-Thom, reveals the hardships that are faced by students that do not fit the mold.

Can teachers read students work out loud and talk about students grades                                             without their permission

Education is what prepares you to what part of society you become. In Horace Mann’s “Report of the Massachusetts Board of Education” written in 1848, he tells of the importance of education, and the changes that need to happen in his era. Mann says that education “beyond all other devices of human origin is the great equalizer of the conditions of men—the balance wheel of the social machinery.” In education today, Jean Anyon shows how of education does not give equal opportunities for the reasons why to get an education, “By means of early education, these embryos of talent may be quickened, which will solve the difficult problems of political and economical law; and by them, too, the genius may be kindled which will blaze forth in the Poets of Humanity” (Mann). Ken Robinson shows the problems within The United States of America’s education system’s “No Child Left Behind” act. Modern American educational systems have not been as equalizers to all children citizens giving no equal opportunity, and no changes are planning to improve the education that leaves children behind.

College drop outs have been glorified by society. The likes of Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Walt Disney, and Mark Zuckerberg are highly patronized for their success. They are known for being successful people and they were able to achieve their success even if they did not get good grades in school, nor did they finish going to school. It can be said that they were not academic achievers. Nonetheless, the legacy of their success continues to prevail. They have reached the kind of success that everyone aspires to have. Often, their stories are used to encourage and convince people that doing well in school is no longer important to be successful.

Throughout my life I have been a person who has always favored competition. Furthermore, I have always realized that education is of utmost importance within my life. I believe that education is a key factor within the path of success towards my future career and traveling has always been a necessity within my life. Moreover, I have always valued the significance and purpose of family. I also believe that being physically and mentally healthy will help me become a better individual. The four-way attention chart is a method of emphasizing one’s overall plan by stating the importance of different domains, “work”, “family”, “community”, and “self”, and the focus of time and energy spent on those domains. At the current time, I think that it is safe to say that my future career and personal goals are aligned with my four-way attention chart to a certain extent.

Education is a powerful thing. There’s thousands of articles about education, how it’s being teached and how it should be changed. A problem with education is that students don’t know how to have self-generated thoughts. “Being a Self-Regulated Learner” explains how students in this era lack the key principles of academic success such as goal setting, self motivation, time management, learning strategies and self attributions. A problems that most students have is the fact that they have unlimited access to electronics such as cell phones, television, computers, etc. Having the interment at the palm of their hands in school has made students able to look up all of the answers, not putting in any actual work. They don’t develop study habits because we have apps such as The Spanish Dictionary and Quizlet. Although these apps help. Students are practicing memorization skills which later, results in failing tests and quizzes. Zimmerman talks about self-regulation and how it helps students achieve success. Time-management and self-regulation are two key concepts in learning. As a student, time management is important because most people have to balance between a job, school and extracurricular activities. A student would have to plan out which day/hours they would be able to get their work done. Self-regulation and structure is important because schools give individuals so much work that they need to get done by a certain deadline and it could become stressful. This is where

Malala believes education is unequivocally one of the most important resources that can be made available to children around the world. Education is invaluable and sparks the growth of countries that previously lacked the ability to sustain schools and education systems. While it may seem that there are other social issues that should take priority, Malala believes that proper schooling provides a much-needed background for the next generation. This foundation allows for a steady progression that will produce more well-informed citizens. Malala states that “’I know the importance of education because my pens and books were taken from me by force… But the girls of Swat are not afraid of anyone. We have continued with our education’” (Malala 214). In this quote, she is not only expressing her own passion for education, but the conviction of the girls of Swat as well. It is important for these women to support each other and continue to fight the establishment in their pursuit of education. These actions will construct a path in which other girls will follow, burgeoning the community and bringing hope to women in Malala’s country and around the world as well. Malala understands that education is an exceptionally pivotal social issue, and believes that her campaign toward acknowledging and improving school systems is the best way for her to begin making a change.

Society has always been built up of set regulations that define individuals and their actions in what is acceptable and what is not. Today there is various components that are set to be socially acceptable but in reality they aren’t. Education, the press, religion and individuality are not truly regulated to fit everyone and Mill was right to simplify the problem to be the people. Society needs to review what is wrong with the idea of a good citizen and what it is based on and should change the factors expressing it in order to favor everyone because otherwise we are preventing future advances.

I think education should be more of an experience rather than a process. There will be days at school where I don’t say a word and just sit through a bunch of lectures where neither me or any of my classmates can vocalize our opinions and thoughts. School these days is so dreadful for a lot of us students and we are all waiting for the day we get to graduate and get started with our lives. But to make the time less dreadful we have certain classes where our teacher is actually devoted and dedicated to their work. The Teachers who actually want to hear what their students have to say whether they are right or wrong are the ones who really know how to help their developing pupils actually learn and retain a educated outlook on that subject. I do not think education is the problem. It is the people who give us the education. Saying this though there are students that prefer a hour long lecture and no input from anyone. Lectures we are able to listen to but when you get to discuss things with other people It just really makes you think and gives you so much more output on the subject.
