What I Learned At School

Starting from waking up in 1901 kids had to be waken up by there parents but now kids are waken up with alarm clocks, In 1901 every kid had to walk to there towns main school but in 2017 kids either drive or take the bus to school also there are more options of schools kids can go to nowadays, next is the school in 1901 there was only one teacher, all ages, and one class room, and they had to use chalkboards four hour days also only fifty-one percent of kids were enrolled in schools, but now in 2017 there are multiple grade levels, smart technology, tablets, and seven hour days but now eighty percent of kids are enrolled in schools Besides school technology changed the way we do things from 1901 for example technology

There was a time when America’s education system was top-notch according to the culture and society. With time, a myriad of things has changed, but unfortunately what has not evolved is the American education system. The country is still following a system which was not designed for the current global economic climate. Equality, as positive as it sounds is not as sufficient when it comes to education. The system treats students equally yet expect a similar culmination and outcome. Every child has his individuality and distinct abilities; one cannot judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree. Conversely, a few of the prominent reasons why the education system is failing are overcrowded schools, the rise of technology, and following the same old school hours.

“What I Learned as a Kid in Jail” is a speech given at a TEDTalk convention to a group of young men and women delivered by Ismael Nazario, a prison reform advocate where he does work for The Fortune Society, a non profit organization. Nazario was arrested when he was just under eighteen for robbery and sent directly to Rikers Island where he spent 300 days in solitary confinement, before ever being convicted of the crime. Nazario’s goal in delivering his speech to a group of younger men and women is to make them aware of the way correctional officers treat younger inmates and how inmates should be spending their time doing productive activities and understanding they do not have to go back to the life they were living. Nazario accomplished this goal by sharing personal stories from his past experiences.

Over the course of many years, several things have changed, including technology, science, and people; however, our culture and idea of education have not. Some of these problems include teachers that are not being as valued as they should be and students who are changing both physically and mentally, but are still not being supported by our education system. The education system itself is also problematic as well, but it can be fixed with a change in our culture. Teachers and students are the base of the education system, and by not helping them, the system is not helping itself. Students are gaining new emotions and viewpoints, but the education system has had a hard time keeping up, even teachers are changing but are still undervalued.

Over the past (almost) hundred years, society and education have both changed drastically. Typically, the things that have happened in history, such as wars, technological advances, and changes in culture, changed education as a result. Some of these changes include popular culture in the 1920s, economic factors in the 1930s, military intervention in the 1940s, Sputnik in the 1950s, and racial issues in the 1960s. One theme of education is that it has gradually become more important over the years. Before high school diplomas could be rare, and today most high school graduates go to college in the United States.

High school. This one word can mean either the best days of your life, or the worst. It depends on how you dealt with the obstacles thrown at you. During the past few years of high school, I can honestly say that I have changed a lot, not just physically, but mentally I have becomes strong enough to ( ).In my experience, these circumstances shaped me into the positive and intelligent individual I am today.

There have been several historical factors that influenced the changes in education from then and now. The Smith-Hughes Act of 1917 was a major contributor to change due to the fact that by providing a better education for the teachers there would then be a direct correlation in the students being provided an enhanced education. Also, another historical factor was the “Progressive Era”. It provided students with a new way of learning. They were hands on and learning by doing rather than memorizing and repeating facts that they’d forget as soon as they walked out the school doors. Lastly, the No Child Left Behind Act was the most historical factor that influenced change. This act allowed children from the many diverse backgrounds to acquire

Davidson points out that although a lot of changes have occurred in the technology field over the last thirty years, the education system more so the classroom and educational methods have remained unchanged from the same period and in consequence students are not

It’s no secret that the economy has not been the best in the past five or so years, and a lot of schools have taken the hardest hit from that. Public schools have had to cut many different programs and areas of study because it is simply just too expensive to teach all of them and provide the correct materials for the students. This is causing the quality of students education to go down, and they aren’t receiving all of the benefits that they should be. The education that a student receives starting in elementary school and all the way up into high schools sets them up for how they will do in college, and that will determine how they are going to live the rest of their lives.

Are students now being encouraged to develop their own learning and comprehension or is their education being made on an assembly line? The United States has been a very powerful force in the economic world, but the students who will eventually take over, who of which are in a world of an outdated curriculum and education system will be unequipped. Students have accessibility to this new technology that is improved by the day to aid in learning, but there is very little opportunity given by schools to capitalize on the new ways to reach their students in a modern way. The education system and its teaching traditions what students go through now is the exact same thing that their grandparents learned, just subjects have broadened and have been

During my middle school years, I have participated in several extracurricular activities that will benefit me at Mount Michael Benedictine School. In middle school, I have participated in Martial Arts, drama club, track and field and volunteering regularly at my parish.

There are many things that I am as a learner. One thing that tells you what kind of learner I am is that I’m a decision maker. I learned that I am a decision maker, from one of the tests that Ms. Reffel had us do. The website said I was much more, but I was mostly a decision maker more than anything else. A different website said I was visual which I agree strongly with because I think when I learn it bothers me when I don’t see it in person or I think it’s harder to learn. Another test said I was multiple things such as musical, body, picture, and number. Those types of learning I like a lot. I think these tests work a lot and I learn more about myself that I didn’t really ever think about it.The last learner that I am is balanced and risk taker.

Today’s education differs much from the education fifty years ago. One of the reasons they are so different is because of technology. In the past fifty years the world of technology has grown tremendously, affecting everything, including education. A few things that have been brought into the world of education are computers, video and digital equipment such as DVDs, digital cameras and recording devices. The technology also includes information presentation technologies which includes the Smart Board, and different interactive whiteboards. There are many more that schools did not have fifty years ago.

The education system around the world has progressed and changed in a plentiful amount of ways, and the concept of knowledge and learning has changed in modern day. For example, certain schools around the globe are moving on to implementing technology in classrooms because it provides many benefits and statistical research that states how students are improving their academic readiness because of the instant access to information, a greater engagement and interactive process in learning, and the personalization that instructors can do towards the educational experience that students receive. The benefits of technology in class can be rather debatable, for there are people who think it's a distraction, but it certainly seems to be beneficial according to the increase of passing percentages in schools.

Change is constant. Though one may not be able to see the change, one can look back through the course of a year or maybe even a few months and see the change. Technology has transformed with our culture. There are many benefits for students with the new advancements of technology.
