The Importance Of Education In Education

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.

Having a child is an adjustment for every family. While families behave differently, there are key aspects typically shared, such as reserving physical space, preparing a budget, purchasing necessary items, and choosing the appropriate resources. However, are the parents fully prepared for the emotional and mental stamina it takes to rear a baby until adulthood? That question introduces the plight of the Habib family. Dan and Betsy are the parents of two boys. The older sibling is Isaiah; and he has a brother named Samuel, a beautiful boy with an affectious attitude.

An educator's preparation and schooling are vital factors in establishing the way they teach, their habits, and approaches regarding education. In a sense, “teaching is an intentional and moral activity: it is undertaken for a purpose and is validated by reference to educational goals and social principles as well as to operational efficacy (Alexander 517).” In order for educators to positive resources for students in a varied specialized system, they must be properly trained in those systems which they are to repurpose. Learning just one method would leave gaps in the educator’s knowledge, negatively affecting their pupils. For educators to properly navigate the system of multiple educational perspectives they must be exposed to plethora of different approaches to education. One such exposure can be accomplished through the use of Student-Teaching abroad programs that are offered by different universities worldwide. Overwhelmingly, in the past, those who participate in these programs do not go on to pursue a career in education. This translates as a waste of the resource that can drive education in a positive direction. In effort to salvage a seemingly failing initiative, high level universities engaged in developing international student teacher training programs (Quezada 458).

Think of how you would like schools to be organized and determine your top three priorities regarding the subject. Determine the support needed to establish these three priorities

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

In the opening of The Great Debaters Dr. James Farmer, declares “The most important job in America is the education of our young people”. Those teaching and being taught have accepted the responsibility of molding America’s tomorrow. We are stepping into ‘the hot spot’ as both the teacher and the taught, learning and giving lessons based more on character formation than fact memorization. You, I, personally are the teacher, life and its lessons, are the teacher. We are all the taught, but often, our education is invested into those who will be the future. We are teaching our young people, and allowing them to pursue otherwise unprecedented opportunities. To teach, and to be taught, it strengthens the mind, a tool that can never be taken away.

Civil rights promise equal treatment under the law, and it is required by law that all children must go to school. Under this law, it follows that children should receive equal treatment in their education. Education is a vital aspect of children’s lives to educate and provide a good foundation for their life. However, not all public schools are equal. This was demonstrated in the segregated schools where African American students received a lesser quality of education compared to their white peers. The fight for education equality continues; the inequality is seen in the varying states and school districts who run their schools differently and are made up of different constituents, which affects the quality of schooling that different

The education system has been established in order for all members of the communities to receive a fair and equal education opportunity. However, there are many variables that take place and all students receive the same opportunities. The students who live in poor areas tend to struggle more in school because it carries on to the school grounds. Those schools seem to have more difficulty keeping students engaged and on track. For some reason, the students at a low performing school are usually minorities and the school environment is not considered a place for them to thrive. Many teachers may find it difficult to teach in those schools because there is a lot of chaos at times. Therefore, keeping competent teachers is not always possible and that negatively affects the students education as well. Trying to close the gap between low performing schools and those that do well is not an easy task. The effort of school administrators to bring programs to help low performing schools and educating those families who’s children are affected is important because it can help enhance their opportunity to succeed educationally.

Throughout the last 50 decades or so, the world has advanced beyond our imaginations. With new technology being created every day, our minds never cease to disappoint us. However, although we have advanced in our industry, the school system in many developed countries have stayed static. The education systems we currently have were built with the intention of being useful during the industrial age. For a few countries, that stretches as far back as the 18th century. Yes, there have been small alterations made throughout the years but the principal idea of our education system has not changed for a mere 200 years. So, what is that goal exactly? To produce future factory workers.

To finish my schooling I will have to pay for many different things. I will have to pay 6573 dollars Canadian for tuition to my university. I will have to pay between 700-1000 dollars for books in my chosen program. Finally I will have to pay 150 to 200 dollars for my transportation to and from my university.

The problem that has been going on in society for many years now is that children with wealthy backgrounds receive a better education than low income students due to the fact that wealthy people tend to send their children to private institutions that have a different curriculum than public schools. This problem has limited American equity because “Only 28% of high school graduates from high-poverty schools enrolled in four-year universities, compared to 52% of graduates from low-poverty schools” (Chen, pg 3). This is a very important problem because the education system isn’t helping students “dig their way out of the poverty into which they were born” (Chen, pg 3). The inequality of the educational system affects students

In my old elementary days, I was always struggling with my work. I was falling behind, stuck on questions, and eventually frustrated with myself while the other students were steps ahead of me. I was a shy kid back then, so getting my teacher’s attention was difficult for me; my teacher’s attention would always go to the kids who were considered smart and all the praises would go to them. At those moments, I would sulk at my desk waiting to see if someone would notice me, but no one came. Eventually, I was accompanied with an ELL teacher and they would pull me out of class to help me read, do math, or anything I was struggling on. It was fun for the most part, I would always have a conversation with my ELL teachers. This lead me to become more aware of my weaknesses and learn from my mistakes because they would help me in ways that got me to think for myself. I know that children who are in the same situation as me never got the help that they needed and honestly; without the help of my ELL teachers, I would have never become the person I am today. This is why the education system in America should be changed because, using the stories: The Secret to Raising Smart kids and Marita’s Bargain, I believe that hard work and more school days would benefit children from actually learning.

First class of the day is genetics at 8:00 am, still waking up, I sit in my chair and listen as the professor drones on and on about DNA and other things I wont remember after class today. After two hours of genetics I have five minutes to run from one class to another. Now I sit in my chair, in a different class, and listen to another professor lecture for another two hours. My hand begins to cramp up from all the note taking, and I feel even more tired than I did at 8:00 am. My day isn't over yet, I still have to try and keep my eyes from closing as my math teacher goes on about shapes or multiplication or something math related. A full day of school down and I am left with more questions than answers. I feel like I know less now, than I did when I came to school this morning.

Education is a United States given right and is meant to set every individual who goes through the school system at an equal starting point. The education system’s initial purpose was for it not to matter what a student’s economical, race, or family history was, but rather to allow any student to get a valuable education. Unfortunately, this starting goal is not how the school systems are ran today, rather, a school’s funding is dependant on the surrounding neighborhood. This inequality of neighborhoods and therefore, school funding, is especially prominent in Memphis, TN.
