The Importance Of Education

Ever since 1840 American public schools have been running off of the same routine. Students are stuck in school sitting in a class, taking tests, or quizes, over and over again in the same exact routine. The creativity of children are being washed out of them and are being penalized for their unique differences. Education in schools are keeping children's minds wrapped up in a bubble to become a unified society. In the article “Against School” by John Gatto he expresses the boring environment in public schools. Gatto talks about how schooling shouldn’t be the answer for everything yet an education should.

When it comes to the students needs, one must address socio economic status and workload. The United States of America is a developed country that advocates and encourages education for its entire people. As a matter of fact, it is getting much more difficult for people who do not have a GED or high school diploma to get a good paying job. Here are some reasons why: one, society encourages diversity, but does not follow up. According to the article “The Role of Student–Teacher Ratio in Parents’ Perceptions of Schools’ Engagement Efforts”, “Students from ethnic and racial minority backgrounds tend to have less educated parents, come from lower SES” (Rodriguez, 2014). The question is not how this impacts schools but what can we do to help these students be less affected. Some people did not have the privilege to go to school or to continue to school, therefore it may not be as important for their children to be educated, or they cannot help their children completely to receive a good education. There is encouragement for schools to be more diverse, but the reality is, not enough is done too help minority students. It is known that parents with a higher socio economic status, can be more capable when interacting with schools and having an impact. Wealthier people tend to have the upper hand, but why? It should not be this way and society should be united so that it

Imagine not understanding the world we are living in, and having a job without an education, so you can provide for your family. Education significantly impacts everyone in this world. “As of 2012, 31 million primary-school pupils worldwide dropped out of school. An additional 32 million repeated a grade.”Education is a human right, it provides security, and gives us knowledge of the world around us, however, some people may think that education is not important.

Is an education a requirement for a successful career? Most people would say yes, however I think this is inaccurate, however I do think kindergarten through twelfth grade is important. Further education, such as college or a trade school, however, is not required to be successful. Just about all my family had not furthered their education with college and they’re all do just fine, making enough to live and support their families. Just because you go to college to be something doesn’t mean you will pursue your life in that career, most people don’t. Education is expensive and I don’t think that it is for everyone.

Furthermore, we all have different reasons for getting an education or going to school, and we all have different experiences during this process. In my own definition? I say, education is a process of becoming enlightened to ignorant things that we don’t know around us. Most times we could be educated through people that have more knowledge than us. John F. Kennedy made a comment during his presidency

The benefits of education can never be stolen from you, but can help you grow and evolve. Aside from leading you to better job opportunities, education will also make you surround yourself with people that will push you to become your best self. Education is also the hope most blue-collar and poor minority have to improve their future and create a better one for their kids. It is also the key to a better and brighter mindset. I intend to discuss the significance of post-secondary education and summarize the arguments of authors and their points of view. I will also reflect on the importance of education and how it will fit into my future, for example attending a four-year university and getting my bachelor's degree to pursue my dream of becoming independent and having something that will lead me to a brighter future and mindset.

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

Children in underprivileged areas like Afghanistan, Brazil, and Kenya battled drawbacks daily only to achieve a basic education. Many are unaware of the circumstances in which poverty affects children. Few circumstantial factors kept mass numbers of children in these destitute areas from getting the crucial knowledge needed to obtain schooling and better lives. Children could not receive an education due to family complications. Children also could not obtain education on account of psychological and environmental obstacles. In contrast, a few students overcame their shortcomings and, as a result of the environments they lived in, pursued education for a life better than their ancestors.

A country is only able to grow and prosper through the education of each successive generation. In essence, the quality of the education system defines the potential of future leaders. Without proper teaching each country could revert, fatal mistakes defining the economy, political climate, and general future of a country for decades. The importance of education is clear meaning no country is free of the scrutiny their education system will undergo; although, some countries have far exceeded expectations. Leaders in standardized testing, such as Singapore and Japan, have made the benchmark for other countries to strive after. In the United States a sense of pride accompanies the general belief that intelligence is high. Score results that reveal that this is not the case spark a sense of outrage, and blame is directed at the education system. Could it be that education is subpar in this country? Questions about the education of American students are well founded seeing as issues within have existed since the beginning. Currently the debate is over how effective the system truly is if the scores are showing a lack of understanding. Those in favor of the current conditions largely point out the advancement of education over the centuries. Going from widespread illiteracy of those unable to receive education to the highest high school graduation rates America has seen is hard to argue against. Yet issues remain to be addressed which keeps approval from being unanimous. Of

Education has always been extremely important to me, especially since I am only the second one out of my parents and three sisters to graduate from high school. I have had several obstacles in my way to face, but these hardships make me very determined that I will get my college degree. I am the first in my family to go to college. I come from a family where education was not as important like it is to others. My father is my biggest inspiration. He was less fortunate of being able to finish school. He had a very difficult childhood and had to pick up adult responsibilities at an earlier age in life. He was only able to finish up to the eighth grade. He was the oldest in his family of four other siblings. His dad got very sick and was not able to work and provide for the family like he needed too. This led my dad having to drop out of school at eighth grade to go home to help with other siblings, help his mom with house chores, and work to help with paying bills. My dad can barely read and write, this made it very difficult for him to get good paying jobs. He learned how to be a mechanic working on vehicles, because there is very little to read and write to figure out how to fix a vehicle. He is very good at being a mechanic. This was his career all through out his life and still is to this day working long hard hours. Seeing my dad work so hard all my life inspired me to get a good education. It was difficult as a child to see my dad struggle so much. Our parents could not

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 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.

Education is an ultra-important aspect of our country’s success; it has been from the beginnings of our nation. We live in an ever-changing society on a global level, and the quality of education we need to survive and thrive in the world today is growing every day. Our nation has always been a part of education growth, but we deserve the proper education system in order to stay caught up with other education systems in our world today; why shouldn’t the United States be at the top of global education and growth? Education will always be a pressing issue for our nation, and we need to tackle this obstacle in a practical way.

People all around the world are deprived of an education. Whether it is due to lack of resources, money, race, religious belief, or anything of that nature. Clearly, the UN states in their Human Rights document, that no person should be kept from an education because of race, gender, religious belief, or anything of the sorts. So why have people in lesser developed countries all over the world, been denied the privilege of education? Education is an essential part of human life, without it, the world would be filled with stupid people. With a world full of stupid people, the earth would be destroyed so fast, that no one could save it.

The importance of education for all children, especially for those with special needs are limited with social and economic opportunities which is indisputable. When it comes down on improving our schooling system, we think “How can we improve the education program” without even considering how it affects our special needs kids and our program for them. Many challenges remain, including delays in providing services for children with disability, as well as regulatory and financial hindrances that complicate the program for all involved. Enhancing the system necessitates better ways of understanding and measuring both ends of the special education program, namely the services special education children need and receive, and the academic outcomes these students achieve. Which is why I decided to craft this issue into my mask for my multimodal project.
