The Importance Of Education On Education

In the United States, educational opportunity can be different when it depends on neighborhood of the social class. According to the SARC analysis of Arcadia High School’s accountability report card, graduation rate is 98.71% and percentage of taught by highly qualified teachers is 98.5%. The percentages of English and Math standardized test scores are 76.7% and 73.1%. Arcadia High School is one of the affluent professional schools and public schools which provides students with lots of advanced placement(AP) classes and extracurricular activities. For social class, there are not only upper and middle classes, but also working class. However, other schools in some areas which include working class, do not have high graduation rate and students in those schools are not taught by highly qualified teachers. Therefore, educational opportunity can depend on the neighborhood of people live in, but not the status of the social class.

Social class is a large faction of people who have similar positions in an economic system. In an exemplary world, all students would have an equal shot at success, excellent schools, and educators that dedicate themselves and their time to achieving this goal. However, social class can significantly affect a student's success, highlighting the correlation between low socioeconomic statuses and academic problems. In all social groups, class plays a significant role in the attainment of children in education. Unfortunately, this has always been the case and the effects are just more evident today. Families from high social classes are more likely to obtain a greater level of education than those in low social classes. Members of upper social classes tend to be better educated and have higher incomes; therefore, they are better able to supply educational advantages to their children as well. Being in a financially disadvantaged can also affect a child’s performance during school.  It is important, therefore, to examine the way in which education is distributed through social class. Between societal pressures, expectations and parental negligence, children can be negatively impacted in their pursuit for future success through their education as exemplified through “College Pressures” and “The Sanctuary of School”.

One of the material conditions which is called “Social class” affects education. Because the people who are in lower social statuses are not able to afford a premier education, the necessary tools to complement a public education, or continuing education. In addition, people who are in a lower socioeconomic standing also have a harder time staying in school compared to the people who live in a higher social status.

Socioeconomic status plays a key factor in the type of education a child receives today and ultimately functions to keep individuals in the class they are born into. Those who are part of the lower class receive the bare minimum in education with the end goal being blind obedience, while the upper class is educated in a way that encourages self-regulation, individual thought, and creativity. These vast differences in education are no mistake and are put in place for overall control.

Parents' social class has a greater impact on how well their children perform at school than IQ. Social class has become the primary pathway as well as a towering obstacle to opportunity in America. Below I will discuss three articles on this topic.

For those who live in the United States, some do not see the correlation between poverty and its effects on people’s behavior to their academics. Poverty affects many students at a young age depending on the location they are in as it prevents underprivileged kids to seek higher education. However, with new opportunities [in effect], kids in poverty can have the same education as privileged kids. Poverty stricken students are disadvantaged when trying to obtain a higher education. Children in poverty lose their motivation in school when they do not have the support of their parents. Some other issues students face includes parents not being able to assist their child in school. Another is that the child is not able to go to school because they have to work instead and support their families. Although public education is available to all children, those that live in poverty are deprived of its full potential due to the factors of low family incomes as well as the lack of self-motivation and the importance of having an education.

The significance of the topic is to elucidate and educate others on how crucial it is for teachers and principals to understand the backgrounds and dynamics which surround students of the lower class population. This research paper will reveal the encumbrances children encounter in their daily walks of life. Out-of-school factors to be discussed will include family economic status, culture,

They have not experienced much outside their immediate neighborhood and cannot afford the luxuries of experiencing many opportunities to develop economically, socially and emotionally. Poverty issues do not allow students and communities to have the necessary resources and materials for effective learning. Students are not exposed to up-to-date technology and lack the motivation and encouragement from positive role models who are educated.

Studies have shown that students from a lower socioeconomic household have a harder time developing their academic skills in school versus students from a higher socioeconomic household.This is due to the fact that students from a higher socioeconomic have better access to resources in terms of technology , education , better environment , individuals and overall better quality of life.

Inequality can be defined as opportunities distributed to different individuals in a society in an unequal distribution. Education is known to be the great equalizer of society, However, unequal distribution of educational resources negates this very concept. In education, a crucial measure of child 's performance their socioeconomic status. Difference in social background results in differences in achievement within an academic field. Studies have shown that the higher the socioeconomic status, the more access to better education, and educational resources such as tutoring and extra educational classes. This is because the individual student 's success depends on their parents income and where they live. More affluent neighborhoods have

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

Education is like building a house, we all begin with nothing. Just a pile of dirt on a small piece of land that has the potential to turn into anything one makes it. This is the same theory for kids, they start off with nothing and overtime, continue to gain knowledge. They can develop into anything they aspire to be with education. First, one needs to set the foundation with a good staff and educated teachers who are devoted and motivated to teach their students efficiently. The school must be filled with the proper supplies to set the students up for success. Location is a substantial factor concerning looking for a house as well as schools. More often than not, the nicer houses are located in more expensive neighborhoods that are provided with various luxuries like pools and a gym. Better schools typically come from better neighborhoods, and those come along with better things like more devoted teachers and more money in the school system.

“When we think about what it is to be ‘connected,’ we think about memory. We think about history. We think about storytelling. All of these words that we hear—‘literacy,’ ‘inclusion,’ ‘diversity’—those are all words for connection . We need that sense of connection. We need to live in a global sense.” This is one of many important quotes from personal hero Miriam Wright Edelman. Founder and president of the Children's Defense Fund and an advocate for all children and their families regardless of race or culture, Marian Wright Edelman, goes on to say, “we must always refill and ensure there is a critical mass of leaders and activists committed to nonviolence and racial and economic justice who will keep seeding and building transforming movements.” (Siegel, 1995) Transforming movement has been taking place in the area of professional education or development, however, honoring the learning from our educational system through the anthropological lens creates the best environment possible for school cultures and in turn, our society.

What do you think about when you hear the United States of America? What comes to your head? You might be thinking about the big American dream, which is going to school, studying to become a doctor or anything you want and making millions. When our parents came to America they were thinking about what was best for our future in education and finance. That is why they came here. So would you think that you or your parents would be devastated to come to realize that the US is 14th in the world when it comes to education? I am not saying that is bad by any means. However, if you are the richest country in the world, that also means you have the most resources so there should be no reason to be 14, you should be 1st, or at least in the top 5.

Economics is what our world revolves around. Many people don't realize how much we can relate it to our everyday lives. Such as the education system. When having a child people have to think about what kind of education they want for them. K-12 goes off a certain system, where you live at in your county depends on where you go to school. This is somewhat a monopoly. Based on where you live, is based upon the type of schools your child will be attending in the public school system. You have no choice in this unless you are able to afford at least a thousand dollars a month for one child to go to a private school. This leaves no options for the people who want good for the kids yet, aren't able the extra weight of a private school. The public school system has the “exclusive possession control of the supply or trade in a commodity or service.”(thebalence.com 1)
