The Importance Of The Education System

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.

There are many controversies that american public education system does more harm than good. In “Against School” by John Taylor Gatto and “Social Class and the Hidden Curriculum of Work” by Jean Anyon, explains how school education destructively impacts us. Gatto states his experience as a public school teacher and why he “just can’t do it anymore”. He was tired how the schooling was programmed. He argues how school system are affecting students to be more like “childlike” citizens. Also, Anyon demonstrates her research on how there are many different kind of education depending what “class” you were. She informs us that there is an inequality in “Social Class and the Hidden Curriculum of Work”. Both authors depicts the reality and truth, that some people are unable to see. As a student, I’ve also experience this and support how school depicts how we are in the future. Moreover, there are many representations that explains why the american public education systems does more harm than good.

The educational system has been a really big issue among educators. Which is a huge problem in the classrooms worldwide. This doesn’t help them plan for their future or give them any idea on what they want to in life. Simply put, agree with Gatto, the educational system shouldn’t split students up based off their test scores. When you separate students based on anything other than their passion you create an environment where they feel uncomfortable and unsuccessful. Gatto’s “Against School: How Public Education Cripple Our Kids and Why.” explains the main reasons why the educational system should be changed by using Gatto’s solution.

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.

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.

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.

Why school? Throughout life, we always tend to wonder whether or not having an education is beneficial and can end up leading to a life of success. As students, we always search for the deliverance that will help us to answer this question. When we are young, we view school as a place to meet new people and a place that we go to have fun. But once we grow out of this stage, we wonder what the true reasoning behind education actually is. We as students tend to outgrow the day to day lifestyle of forcing ourselves out of bed every morning to go to a place we have no idea to interpret what we are learning and how to apply it to our lives. We are lost, and this guidance that we are in search of, comes from educators who believe that school is

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

There are many reasons, that in today’s age, people should be educated. Young people need to realize that being educated could change the state of the nation that he/she lives in. In countries where education is limited,such as Africa and Ethiopia, people are living in ungodly conditions. Nonetheless, the United States gives everybody the opportunity to learn and the poverty line has been getting better throughout the years. This is all because people were able to get jobs with their education, furthermore creating a stronger, stable economy.

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

Nelson Mandela once said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” While they are indeed wise words, what does it mean to be educated? What can be classified as a proper education? Some say college is where people go for a “real” education. College is an educational institution meant to further prepare a student for the real world, real jobs, and real life. Instead of the basics taught in elementary, middle and high school, college is meant to be more specialized. Because students have the liberty to pick and choose their own classes it’s easier to cater to their needs, thus allowing each and every student the chance to work towards their future profession. But is what is currently being taught at

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.

Education should be valued to the highest extent. Education is how we obtain knowledge about our surroundings. Education gives us a perspective on issues, politics, and life in general. Education allows us to interpret things in unique ways we didn’t imagine were possible. Most importantly, education gives us a platform to change the world. Without education, many people would be lost. Education is a delicate process that should be handled with care. Educators have the abilities to form knowledge within their students. Some of them use their abilities to the fullest power, while others completely abuse their abilities. As an 18-year-old college student, I have come across both kinds of educators, even though I wish I had not.

Education is a right recognized by many countries across the world, and yet many children don’t even have access to attend school. In Plato’s “The Allegory of the Cave”, coming out of the cave and being blinded by the sun is like learning for the first time. The amount of information may be overwhelming at first, but then can be accustomed to. Education creates opportunities which then creates a better life for children and society, especially in poorer countries. Not only is it a human right to attend school but it is also just, and when something is just, it must be just for all. Education should not be a privilege, and no matter the gender or financial status of a child, they have every right to attend school.

'Sometimes, the most important part of life is just showing up.' This old cliché is also true about getting an education: once students have been accepted to an institution, they need to 'show up' to their classes, and continue to show up throughout their academic lives at the institution. However, when students drop out of school, they usually do so by the end of their first year. This is true of transfers as well as new freshman. Often, the source of attrition is a poor match between the abilities and attributes of the student and the support offered by the university. Students lack the necessary academic and social preparation to thrive within the university community (Lau 2003).
