The Negative Aspects Of Education In The Daily Life

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.

Teaching is an extremely important profession as we are responsible for training up the future generations of our community, country and in effect, the world. In order to be a successful and effective teacher there are some basic skills and competencies that one must possess. The experiences that students have inside (and outside) our classrooms, schools and various other institutes will shape and mould their approach to our subjects and to life in general. Therefore, it requires a certain level of skill and training to be deemed professionally fit to enter into this career path and even then, continuous

Education is an essential part in an ever growing society. It provides students the knowledge that they will use in their everyday lives. The professor that teach the students, go through a very complex training. This training make sure the person is qualified to teach. The training was had some changes from the past to the present.

Hearing the word “teaching” makes me think about something great, such as dedication and contribution. In my opinion, teaching means sharing everything positive to others in order to develop those people, such as knowledge and moral values. Even conveying light advice and motivation can be counted as a worthy lesson. By teaching, the teacher also can obtain a lot of benefits. Firstly, teacher may obtain knowledge that she or he did not know before from the students. Secondly, teacher’s communication skill may be improved by doing intensive interaction with the students. Lastly, teacher may get many psychological values, such as patience, passion, joy, and satisfaction. Considering those benefits, I would like to take every opportunity to teach.

I have chosen to become a teacher because I believe that education is the center of a country’s development process and prosperity. I want to be an educator to play an effective role in my society’s revival. Besides, I have always dreamed to be a teacher; it is a passion, which I truly have since I was young. The strong teaching motivation, which I have is derived from the deep belief that teachers can make a big difference in their students’ lives. In addition, I believe that teaching is a noble profession, which should be taken seriously. I know that being a teacher is never easy; it comes with high responsibilities and obstacles, but I am sure that I have suitable qualifications, which make me eligible to overcome them. Education as a basic concept in my perspective is all about developing knowledge, skills, values, ethics, physical and spiritual aspects,

In the practice of teaching, it is the responsibility of a teacher not only to teach students subject matter, but to teach students in order to enable them to grow and develop as a person. While it is essential for students to have an understanding of academic material, it is also equally as important that when students finish their education they have skills to use in

From the start of the common school, teaching as a profession has been designed for women. As settlers first began to move to and populate the West, people were greatly spread out with school districts covering wide expanses of territory. Students would travel miles to secure an education, but said education was not possible without a teacher there to guide them. School boards placed an emphasis on the role of women as natural-born nurturers and child-raisers, and seemingly found the perfect solution to the lack of teachers in the schools of the West. Catherine Beecher, a wealthy aristocrat, agreed with the school boards and began to form colleges where women would be educated on the art of teaching before being sent into unfamiliar territory to teach the populations of young learners. After many years supporting this movement by the school boards to place women in teaching positions, Beecher announced that she had supported women in the classroom so fervently because she saw the lack of careers for women and was giving women a more equal advantage while also advancing the public education system in the West. The feminization of teaching not only created more jobs for women, but also created a new and growing stigma that women had the ability to be successful in their own careers, eventually leading to advancement in women’s rights. To this day, women still dominate the field. In my own experience, I did not encounter a male teacher until my late middle school years and even

America has always been known as the melting pot of the world, with no exception of the American school system. Here at Conant High School, they are one of the most diverse schools in all of Illinois. Along with being diverse, Conant also happens to be part of one of the richest districts in Illinois. Despite all Conant has to offer, the road to a great education isn't always smooth sailing. Then of course,if you don't got to well off school there can be new and even worse problems with the type of education you receive. Our culture, what makes us who we are, is a humongous part of what our education turns out to be. These two coincide with each other, working off one another to make experiences different from person to person.

Imagine you are dreaming being a teacher, you must accept that there are no doubt that knowledge is the first quality of a good teacher. A good teacher need to enlarge his/her general knowledge on culture, society, biology, geography… to provide students what they want to know. Beside, a good teacher must be a person who are open to change. He/she must know “the only real constant in life is change”. There is a place not only for tradition but also for new ways,

When I think about teachers that I have had in the past, several different ones come to my mind. Each of these educators stands out in my mind for a variety of diverse reasons. Whether it is their sense of humor, their tactfulness, their love of the subject matter, their fanatical and sporadic behavior, or their yearning to be childish themselves, I can still remember at least one quality of every teacher I have ever encountered. Every one of these teachers conveyed subject material to their students just as they were educated and employed to do. However, I trust that every professional in the world has an abundance of opportunity for improvement; teachers could discover and improve themselves merely by having

Being a teacher is not an easy task as many people could think. To be a teacher does not only imply to know the subject to be taught, it also includes being willing to constantly improve oneself integrally, as much as updating the resources and materials one uses in teaching. Reflecting and analyzing over and over again the best way to teach to learn and how to make students to extend what has been learned. The many hours spend in the classroom will never be enough to plan lessons, prepare materials, review pupils tasks and exams, as well, all the administrative requirements one has to cover for whatever institution we work. Besides all this a good teacher, a professional one, will have to find the time to keep preparing to improve

Since taking my first few educational courses in education, I have realized that my philosophy on education changes as I learning more about the profession I have entered. Every time I think I have come to a final belief statement, I learn something new about teaching and sometimes the things I learn causes me to alter my philosophy. Therefore, I will share with you what I believe about teaching and what I’ve learned at this point.

Formal education began eons ago in ancient Greece with the Academy of Athens started by Plato. Ever since the ancient relationship between Plato and his student, Aristotle, the relationship between educator and student has been an important and sacred one. Contemporary educators are some of the most important, yet some of the most underappreciated of all professionals in our society. Each student who passes through a public or private educational system creates bonds with each teacher and vice versa. The types of teacher vary from faculty to faculty, but three distinct archetypes of teacher often stick out to the public eye: the Mrs. Sullivan, the Mr. Stacy, and the Mr. Smith.

School begins at age five, or for some even before that, and so begins the excruciating routine of waking up at an early hour to be ready to be at a place where you didn’t ask to be, to be taught by an older stranger about something you don’t understand. However, in the life of a human being this routine that goes on for years is essential to our lives, as well as those older strangers who teach about subjects that you don’t understand. Those older strangers have the responsibility to pass on knowledge to their students and the given knowledge, whether taken or not, will determine their future. Is everyone comfortable or willingly to accept the teachings of a total stranger? Of course not, therefore this total stranger has to have an identification to the students, but not necessarily just a name. Teachers must develop a relationship with their students because teacher-student relationships affect a student 's academic excellence.

Although teaching and learning are closely related, they are different. Good teaching is measured by the quality of learning a student is getting as measured by the information the students will then have gained knowledge of. There is a high degree of connection between what has been learned by students and how they then grade the teacher and the subject area. Cohen, 1981; Theall and Franklin, (2001), postulate that learners awarded high marks to their teachers when they learned more. Thomas Angelo, also put forth the same criterion when he said; “teaching in the absence of learning is just talking,” Doyle.T. (n.d.).
