The Importance Of Education

Education is a key factor of individual well-being, social progress, and inclusive growth. In the modern society, with increasing competitive pressure within individuals and countries, well-educated elites are needed. While more people realize the importance of education, in many countries, there are still a large quantity of problems with education such as education inequality and low quality education. In order to solve these problems, governments should restore more funds on education, since it can help eliminate the social inequality, bring more skilled workers, and raise the country's economical incomes.

Children do not seem to have a sense of future and they often live in the present which is valuable because they are still young. Schooling puts pressure on their future because they are candidates of the future and their adult life is on hold. Though children are young to yet decide their future, they should have the options and experiences to have references for their ideal adult life. Dewey puts pressure on teachers have a duty to facilitate the students to help discover what they are interested in. By finding students’ interest, teachers should teach their students in the idea play so that students do not seem to be forced to learn something but rather it is because they want to learn. To add on, he believes that children should be making the choices through experiences and emphasizes “hand-on” learning which further indicates teaching in play and having experiences. Dewar uses the phrase “think for oneself” to the ideal education system, a person doing an action based on their own decisions without the help or influences of others which means that the proper way of teaching is, teachers aren't supposed to feed children the answers but rather children are suppose to come up with an answer but the teacher is there to guide you. every individual within themselves have untrained skills but are waiting for it be released or be stimulated.This relates back to Kliebard idea of having children in programs set for a specific job but if they have specific jobs that do not need

Education is an investment. This is the reason we see many people acquire education and become successful. Life is not bed of roses, and some people are unable to get their desired education. This may be due to various reasons such as not having enough money, or taking care of their families and loved ones. However, there are some people who fights with life to achieve their goals and return to college to fulfil it. According the article, “Colleges Embrace Older Students, Part-timers”, Sandra Block discusses that commute daily to college and family dependencies are also major obstacle for non-traditional students beside paying for tuition. Those who lives in remote areas it becomes very difficult to travel college daily. Moreover, people who are married they need to spend time with their spouse and children. Block suggests some solutions to overcome these problems, which includes creating more online interactive courses, opening satellite locations, evening classes and offering scholarships can aid the part-timers to fulfil their dreams. Even though there are several ways to counter the problems of non-traditional students but I suggest creating more online interactive courses will aid them to achieve their dreams.

America has always been the land of the free and the home of the brave since Francis Scott Key wrote “The Star Spangled Banner.” The extent of America’s global influence is unparalleled. The country that advocates freedom and justice for all does not appear to include quality of life under that umbrella. A country’s Quality of Life (QOL) is a summation of the quality of education, health care, violence, and income. Unfortunately, because the United States is a vast, diverse nation, many problems still persist. While one may argue America is the best country in the world, quality of life is not considered when making that statement. America very well may be the best country in the world; however-- it does not have the best quality of life in the world.

In an idealistic world, one’s education would not be determined by their social class or living environment. Instead, those who live in the low class outskirts of an urban industrial population to those who live in ritzy suburban homes and are part of the private school system would be learning the same values and have similar if not equal curricula. However, we as a society have not managed to make this ideal applicable. Instead we find ourselves with an education system that seems to benefit those with favourable living conditions. As discussed in Anyon’s “Social Class and the Hidden Curriculum of Work”, depending on your economic status, you may be taught to just “Follow the steps in a procedure” as per the working class schools or how to independently carry out your creative activities as found in the affluent professional school. These very different extremes have an effect on one’s future by setting you up for a life as a factory worker or as a lawyer. It is this economical and social structure that I had to overcome to get to where I am today.

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

I was fortunate enough to come live in the United States when I was eleven months old. I still go back and visit my birth place El Salvador. The number one thing that catches my eye when I’m over there is the difference in education. Here in the United States, we are lucky enough to have the opportunity to go to school and learn and eventually get a career, because not everyone has that. This is why I believe education shouldn’t be taken advantage of.

A school is a system designed to provide a learning space for people under the influence of educational professionals. For centuries, education has played a major role in developing and changing the world. Therefore, children are obligated to go to school at a very young age to expose them to new skills, ideas, and knowledge. School is to provide the individual with the opportunity to further develop and learn their purpose in society. All around the world people are taught the same thing but feel unsatisfied and useless, are judged and labeled as a letter or number, yet for some people this system is beneficial for them.

Having an education is one of the most important things to have no matter where you are. My entire life I have envisioned myself as a teacher. When I was young I would line up my stuff animals and give them math problems to solve. As I grew older my passion never faded. In middle school I began volunteering as an assistant soccer coach where I would sit and help teach new skills, from there in high school I did my student internship at a local middle school. Not only did I have experience in these classes, I also was able to sit in my Mothers middle school math classes. So when I got to college I knew that I wanted to follow in my mom’s footsteps. Currently, being in my field study and middle education classes I have learned that becoming a teacher is one of the most rewarding and influential careers someone could choose. Middle school aged students are going through the transitional years of their lives. These students are changing provocatively, whether it be physical, intellectually morally, psychologically or socially, these changes will impact who they will be in the future. While students are going through these changes they need a role model in their lives to represent and guide them through these challenges. Each student is changing at different rates. Boys and girls are both beginning puberty at this point of their life, their bodies are changing rapidly physically, and new things are going on with their bodies that they have not experienced before. These changes

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.

I was driving to an art performance on a Friday night with my eight-year-old daughter strapped in the backseat, and we were talking about where I was going once she was dropped off at her friend’s house. I explained to her that there had been several hurricanes that left the island of Puerto Rico in need of resources and help, and that the money raised at the event that night was going to will help aid the effort. She proceeded to ask questions about the topic: “Where was the island? What did the hurricanes do? Were people hurt?” She had numerous other follow-up questions about the country and its link to ours. Our conversation led me to question what I knew about Puerto Rico as I stumbled to give the place a label for her. Was it a

A stable education is vital for kids and young adults. It’s especially important for younger children. Learning and being taught properly helps to form their brains at an early age and helps insure a lifelong learning opportunity. Fortunately, the U.S has a very stable education system going, but unfortunately, that’s not the case for some new world countries. Some countries aren’t as lucky and developed, and cannot get a correct education system established. Some areas targeted in this goal include, sub-Saharan Africa, Southern Asia, indigenous people, refugee children, and poor children in rural areas. According to the “United Nations”, the amount of children attending school has greatly increased, but most of them do not acquire basic

A famous quote by Nelson Mandela says “Education is the most powerful weapon we can use to change the world.” Education is powerful, especially now. Education can give people endless possibilities and change futures. Sadly, more and more high school graduates are passing the chance to have a college education. They don’t see the purpose or value anymore. This problem is getting more persistent as years go by. College is still valuable because it grants a higher salary, gives more career opportunities, and teaches lessons.

If learning material presented becomes timely and consuming, the student will try to simply finish the work rather than learn the information presented. It is extremely important that students be given time off from schooling for them to fully develop into individuals. A stress on schooling promotes students who despise learning and in return fail to seek out their true capabilities as individuals throughout their lives. In a survey conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics, the average amount of hours spent by a high school student nationally per day is 6.64 hours. Along with any extra-curricular activities a student may be involved in, homework, and enough sleep, this leaves little time in the day for personal time which is critical for development.

On Wednesdays, I was the only visitor for Jorge, an elderly patient in the AIDS and Tropical Disease Ward at Carlos III Hospital in Madrid. A native of Equatorial Guinea, Jorge had full blown AIDS and had been living in Spain illegally because, according to Jorge, his country lacked enough resources and trained doctors to provide an adequate level of treatment. Over several weeks I witnessed his losing battle, not only with a terminal illness but also with cultural incongruence and a continual feeling of unease, thousands of miles away from home. Talking with Jorge during my experience as a volunteer for the NGO Soldarios Para el Desarollo in the fall of 2001, led me to question the justice of health care discrepancies that make it so
