The Importance Of Education In Education

Not only are impoverished children suffering from a late start in education, it is known that the neediest schools are the schools who's students are below the poverty line. The students with the greatest needs receive the least funding and resources. In New York the average poor student will receive about $1,000 year in resources at public school; whereas the school's with the least amount of poor children receive around $3,000 per student in public schools. Not necessarily the same number wise but this is the case in at least 37 of our 50 states (Schemo). Inadequate education for impoverished children only worsens their chances of making it out of poverty.

The children who live in poverty tend to do worse in school than other students. When they are in school and at home they are not concerned about what the teacher is teaching but about where their next meal is coming from. They do not get the help they need at home because their parents are at work and they have to take care of their siblings. If the child has a learning disability they do not get the proper help or even know about it because they do not have the money to get someone who can teach the child how to perform well with this disability. . They will get placed in a classroom where instead of the teacher teaching them, they call them stupid and don 't teach them anything. They also tend to hate the teacher because they are downgrading them.In the movie freedom writers it tells the story of a school who had a class just for underprivileged children. They hated the teacher when she came because they felt like she was just like they other teachers. When they saw that she actually cared they began to listen to what she was teaching. The schools they attend are low funded school. These schools underpaid teachers and make them feel like they don 't have to teach to their full potential. They books the children receive are torn, have missing pages, and are so old they have outdated information.

Many students of color often fall victim to learning in under budgeted schools, or when they do seek to receive a great education, they are put in places where they feel like they do not belong. In the TED talk titled “How students of color confront imposter syndrome,” speaker Dena Simmons presents the issue of the “price” that many students pay for learning while not white. Simmons successfully presents her argument by using powerful, emotionally-engaging personal stories, adding subtle statistics to back up her claims, and brings it home by showcasing how her experiences lead to a career in teaching, which aids in establishes her credentials.

Poverty is a big issue that still gets in the way of students learning. Students who are poor have less resources than their wealthier counterparts. These students are disadvantaged at home from lack of resources such as no internet, up to date books, and parents that may not be as educated. Poorer students also tend to live in poorer communities and the schools do not have the same resources as wealthier school districts because of low funding.

I entered education with the intent to use my life to make a difference for my city, state and country. I was flagged early in my elementary education as student that was struggling academically. My parents were fortunate enough to be financially able to send me to a specialist working in a private school. I spent much of my time from grade three to eight in a special education setting where I made great strides academically. Upon entering high school I returned to a public high school, tested out of my IEP and entered the advanced track.

The need for the educational system in Chicago, IL or in the entire United states of America is the ability to recruit, obtain, and retain effective and experienced teachers. Gone are the days where almost all of the teachers are actually invested in the education and success of our students. Grated a lot of the creativity was removed from the hands of our instructors because they practically have to teach standardized test. The focus have been taken off of children actually receiving and learning the life skills that they need as well as being enthused to learn because they have absolutely no interest in doing the same lesson over and over. Where are the lesson plans that allow for the student and the instructor to discuss world issues and news. The students have no place where they can express how they feel about the world going in around them. It's hard enough having to deal with life and it makes it even harder to have to hold it in.

change in a countries economy. Moreover, according to the article, “SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT BEGINS WITH EDUCATION.” By UNESCO, the United Nations Secretary-General BAN KI-MOON, said “.

Educational institutions are designed to ready the next generation for careers and the workforce, but how to accomplish this may be very tricky in light of the fact that the jobs of the future don’t exist yet. The known however, is what employers are looking for now and what they feel is needed in the future. According to Tiffany Shlain, filmmaker and founder of the Webby Awards, “The skills needed to succeed in today’s world and the future are curiosity, creativity, taking initiative, multi-disciplinary thinking and empathy. These skills, interestingly, are the skills specific to human beings that machines and robots cannot do” (Rainie). The work world is changing at an ever-increasing pace and society and future workers need to keep up. The educational system however is stagnant with few real innovations or shifts within the past one hundred and fifty years. Individual assessments, isolated curriculum and mundane facts will not produce the creative, collaborative workforce needed for the future. The current system is designed to create a large number of obedient factory type workers with a small number of special and specifically educated elite at the top to control them. With a shift to technology and globalization, the stagnation within education leaves a dearth of workers for the jobs of the future. Educational systems are producing workers for yesterday, not the present or the future. In order to create students ready of the demands of the 21st century, educational

The purpose of this action plan is to ensure that girls around the nation are provided with better education opportunities. And ensure that education is available, accessible, acceptable and adaptable as stated in the 4a framework. In 2005 the world missed the first target agreed within the framework for the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs): to eliminate gender disparity in primary and secondary education by that year. (ANON, 2017) With this plan of action, we can turn that around.

Do schools meet the needs of the students that come out of our current system? It has been a question in debate for a very long time. As the pace of change in society excellerates it is imperative to reexamine if we are meeting the needs of students of the 21st century and it has become increasingly clear that we are not. Critics of the system write scathing accounts of how schooling is harming children and society by teaching conformity instead of the critical thinking skills they purport to teach. In response to the criticism, some schools in Canada have worked hard at reforms and have reexamined their basic practices in order to try and bridge the gap between what 21st century learners need and what is being currently offered in

Chris Van Allsburg thinks that "most people agree there is a component of skill in art making; you have to learn grammar before you learn how to write"(Allsburg). While the school is redesigning its English curriculum, they are trying to decide how much grammar should be taught and if it will be taught at all. While people may believe that grammar should be taught because today's youth has grown up with shortcuts, it is quite clear that grammar should still be integrated into the school's curriculum because it creates good credibility, prepares students for a successful life, and makes writing understandable.

George Washington stated, “The best means of forming a manly, virtuous, and happy people will be found in the right education of youth. Without this foundation, every other means, in my opinion, must fail” (Educational Quotes from our Founding Fathers, Tilus). Most schools have an education mission statement that usually talk about a goal of preparing students for a mix of lifeline success, citizenship, college, and careers. Although many schools have great education, as a whole, schools are failing to teach kids character by failing to teach morality. Instead, the American education system bases the education off standardized testing. There must be a revolution in education from moral relativism to Judeo-Christian values in order for the next generation to receive the full benefit of education.

The American system of high school has prevailed for years despite being an ailment in contemporary society. Society is not perfect and will never be, nonetheless, future generations can be prepared to face it and change it through education.

The United States of America is nowhere near being one of the most educated countries in the world. “The U.S. ranks No. 18 in perceptions of an educated population, just above South Korea and behind Italy” (https://www.usnews.com/news/best-countries/articles/2017-08-25/most-educated-countries-according-to-perception). There is no single solution that can cure the education system without causing other problems in the students and teachers lives. However, if the US were to have year round school, they would have more rigor to learn, and wouldn't be behind other countries.
