Problems with Education
Education is a very important aspect of the lives of all people all over the world. What we learn,
not just in the classroom, shapes who we are. We take our education everywhere we go. We use it
when talking to our buddies about sports or music, we use it while solving a math problem, we use
our education while debating with our family whether or not we should watch TV or go to the
movies. Our education is the foundation of who we are, since every decision we make and every
thought we think is dependent on what we know. Imagine how different the world would be if
everyone craved learning to such a degree that at lunch tables all over the world the topic of
conversation isn't who likes who, or how drunk...show more content...
School is also coercive, disciplinary and taught by many unmotivated teachers, so school being
mandatory is just icing on the cake. Teachers and the school system completely control the way
things are run and leave little room for students to do things their way. Teachers control what they
teach, how to teach, how to discipline, what is assigned, etc. Students need to have more of a say
in the way things are run since they are the majority. More freedom in decisions would create a
more comfortable environment and students would thus have an easier time learning. There is
also stress on a lack of communication since school is coercive. It is hard to reach a person if one
doesn?t have a relationship with that person, and one way to deal with this is through addressing
the students to hear their ideas and views on what direction should be taken. School is very similar
to an oligarchy where the faculty is the monarch and students are the populous. It should be more of
a democracy where all the students have a say in what happens, but how often is there a vote as to
class and school decisions? The current curriculum is one in which a teacher says ?jump? and a
student responds with ?how high.? And if a student responds with anything different, than they are
reprimanded or punished. Three are many aspects of school that are unhealthy to a students life that
many teachers don?t see and so these

The Value of Education Essay
The Value of Education
Learning and knowledge are highly prized in all societies, especially here in Ireland, where there is
a strong tradition of respect for education. The choices that individuals make when leaving school, in
particular whether to pursue higher education or not, are likely to have a long lasting effect on their
lifestyle. The main purposes for a Universityeducation involve: social, national and educational
purposes and for the individual personal purposes and moral development. These topics will be
addressed in the following paragraphs.
The two main institutions predominantly concerned with education are Universities and Schools. It
may be argued that the main purpose of Universities is to advance the...show more content...
The advantage of widespread education is the cultivation of international skills and attitudes,
contributing to the values of university education.
This intermingling of cultures and social differences causes a change in the attitudes and
outlooks of society. The levelling up of living standards in our economy has created a greater
sense of human dignity and freedom replacing an earlier and traditional view of inferiority.
Opportunities for education, leading to promotion at work are richer and more varied. Universal
education has enhanced individuals' view of the world and has created an awareness of the stream
of events in other parts of the world. Which up to 1900 was prerogative of perhaps one fifth of the
population. (K.G. Collier, 1959:33)
Not only does this diversity benefit social purposes but it also has certain national purposes. National
reforms in higher education were a result of Europe's ability to collect information from these diverse
Universities, and adapt to beneficial procedures. (Robbins report: 41) Consequently this encouraged
efficiency throughout the education system, due to high levels of mobility between different
European countries, and high standards were therefore demanded. These mutual exchanges of
solutions to higher education problems benefit Europe as a community and benefit our Universities

My Education Essay
My Education
When speaking of the topic of who a person is and their past, a massive part of this includes their
educational background. Isn't this what forms people, their education? Of course, this doesn't always
have to refer to their organized education. Everything that a person learns is something that educates
them; these words being synonymous. Even something like first learning to tie your shoes is a part
of your education. Which method works better for you: loop, swoop, and pull, or bunnyears? I of
course, like any other well educated person, use loop, swoop, and pull; it's just the best way, no bias
has ever developed there.
I started out as a twinkle in my father's eye in the fall of 1982, and then on that fateful...show more

Starting in Nana's Nuggets preschool, which had a lot of interactive learning, I began my first
venture into organized education. This was a very warm environment, same as in my home, where
caring and working with others was very important. I made a lot of friends in this school that I
actually stayed with through all of high school. When this short stint was finished, I graduated onto
Seward Elementary School, located in the same buildings as the Middle and High Schools, where I
first learned that kissing a girl on the hand in kindergarten at story time wasn't a good idea. In the
Seward Community Schools system, ones learns a lot about the natural world around them, and about
Alaska in general, being as it is one of the worlds greatest natural resources. After first grade, there
was a new building necessary, as the population of Seward, like any other place on earth, was
growing. This new school was where I had a second grade teacher who had actually been in the
Ms. America pageant, whom everyone had a crush on. I started music which I loved every minute
of, as it would become a large part of me. As any other elementary school, this was where I learned
my basic stuff of course: typing, addition, speling, and even crazy things like percentages!
Going into middle school, I always had a taste for math and science, learning quickly all I could.

what is education Essay
What is education?
What are the challenges facing those who provide it?
Education is a crucial part of life, it influences the way people think, speak, talk, write and react to
the world around them. However, education is much more than just an influence, it is a part of life
itself. Throughout the past century, education has dramatically called upon change and variation,
with new technology, science, and both ethical and cultural values making way. Hence, education
can really only be defined by its time and place. This means that as educators, we need to continually
update our qualifications and skills to be in equilibrium with the constant changes that are happening
around us, which is a challenge all educators face (Dusseldorp 1998)....show more content...
Moreover, with new fields of work constantly being created, there is a large demand for people with
the right qualifications and skills (Kalantzis 1998). Finding the right people with such skills can be a
hard task, unless educational institutions such as schools, tafes and universities are continually
updating the subjects they teach and their teaching methods (Dusseldorp 1998).
Along with changing careers is technology, the most rapidly developing resource on the planet.
According to Australian Bureau of Statistics, 66% of Australian households have access to at least
one computer at home and over 72% of households have access to mobile phones. Quality Education
Data have also surveyed that just over 90% of school teachers feel "unprepared" to effectively use
technology. This statistic really concretes a point; educators are not keeping up with technology,
and in consequence are slowing down the ability for children to gain experience with technology.
Today we live in a world that solely relies on technology, and not being able to effectively use this
technology can be a real problem. As technology changes more and more, educators will only find it
harder to keep their skills up–to–date unless they are consistent in keeping up with the move.
Education also strives to imitate and 'mirror' the ways society works, through both structure and
organisation (McBurney–Fry 2002). It slowly prepares children to face the reality of adult life where

Early Childhood Education Essay examples
"Play is developmentally appropriate for primary–age children and can provide them with
opportunities that enrich the learning experience" (Copple & Bredekamp 2009). Early childhood
education holds two main focuses; a child–based focus and a family–based focus. Early childhood
education has positive outcomes on the child through their learning experiences, and their growth
and development. Based on the family, the results of early education happen through the
communication that the family has with the educators and by the encouragement they get from
within themselves, and also from the educators.
Children learn most of what they know through play. There are many ways in which a child learns
on a daily basis, they learn the skills and...show more content...
Educators can facilitate the children with different materials and environments in the classrooms that
are in the early learning centres. The children need to develop their minds cognitively. "Children
actively construct knowledge as they manipulate and explore their world" (Berk 2007). Children are
needing to develop their abilities through their play experiences, and also through their play
experiences, they can develop appropriately. Early childhood education plays a large part in a child's
early development. Children develop cognition through two main stages that Jean Piaget theorized.
The stages run from birth and infancy to school age children. Sensorimotor is the first stage and
goes from birth to about the age of two. This stage implies that the children learn about the
environment they live in and they learn this through the reflexes and movements they produce.
They also learn that they are separate people from their parents and they can say goodbye to them
and know they will come back. The second stage is called the preoperational stage. During this stage
of development, children will learn how to incorporate symbols to represent objects. This is also the
beginning of learning the alphabet and speech. The child is still very much egocentric at this point in
time, but with the help of understanding educators, the child will grow appropriately onto the next
stages of development. Finally, the children need to develop emotionally/socially.

Essay about The Education System
The education system has been a controversial issue among educators. Requirements of school do
not let student choose what they want to study for their future. It's a big issue to force student study
specific curriculums, which don't help them improve, and what they like to create something.
Educators choose a general system for education to all students which based on general knowledge.
Intelligent or genius students have to be in that system of education, which doesn't let them improve
their creativity. Educators attempt to change that system to make it better, but their changing was
not that great to be an example for the world. Also, did that change qualify education system to
compete other systems or not? In some examples and...show more content...
Gatto is concern to society that the contemporary schooling system is trying to get rid of students'
personality by turning them into obedient students that are easy to have power over (control).
Therefore, the system will produce uneducated voters that are easy to be misled by higher powers. In
addition, students are not given the freedom of choosing what they want. He is saying that public
schools are not the only way to success; also, unschooled people don't mean that they are uneducated.
Moreover, Gatto encourages home–school system than public school as option because home–school
system has more independence but it's not a solution for the US. I disagree to his solution because
he is supporting examples from old generation such as Edison and Ben Franklin; however, our
generation is different than before. It needs school environment like sharing our ideas in class and
helping each other to solve problems. Therefore, homeschool is not the solution to success. It is a
combination of the students' skills, intelligence, and effort that makes up their success.
Graff says that putting students in classes in the contemporary system is wasting and limiting
students' potential and creativity (198). Complaining that intellects do not meet the success standard
set by schools, Graff proves that schools limit the intellect students can achieve in their academic
career (198–199).

Students in the EXIT Academy are in their senior year of high school, and with that stage of life

One of the ways that CEO Program staff support their students in the EXIT Academy is to ensure
that they know and understand what is required of them during their senior year in order to graduate.
This includes an understanding of the graduation requirements and a knowledge of deadlines for

By bringing professionals in the community to the students' learning sessions at the NYTC, students
are able to learn about more careers than they would by traveling to different workplaces in the
community. While some career exploration takes place on students' trips around the community, the
focus of trips in the community for Pre–ETS is to practice the skills that they are learning in their
classes.
Career Preparation and Practice
In each of the three academies, students learn about the various skills they will need to prepare for
work. These include both soft skills and job search skills like creating a resume, writing cover
letters, and preparing for interviews. Students learn these skills in the classroom, but they are also
given real–life opportunities to practice them. Ninth grade students in the Pre–ETS program learn
skills such as how to introduce themselves and how to dress professionally during their classroom
sessions, and then they take a trip to the Kennedy Center in which they practice those skills. Students
in the Internship and Mentoring Academy use the skills discussed during their professional

Essay on What Is the Purpose of Education?
Getting educated is very important for every person. It goes without saying that each of us has to
have a proper education. We learn how to read, count and write. These are the basic abilities we
acquire and use during our life. Is there any other purpose of education or it is aimed only at giving
us a possibility to communicate our ideas and satisfy basic needs? During centuries, there were
different interpretations of the purpose of education. Many scientists, pedagogues and philosophers
tried to answer the question: what is the purpose of education? Taking into consideration the needs
and tendencies of a modern society, we can assume that the purpose of education is to prepare
students to be self–sufficient citizens capable of solving...show more content...
Our education should be aimed at educating people who love the world they lie in and who are
ready to become peacemakers and healers of the world (Orr 55). A sustainable society "consists"
of citizens, workers, specialists, technicians, etc, who are ready to work in order to build and
support such society. One of the ways to provide such education is to "get outdoor". The skills
and abilities develop in real world and not in artificial situations in class. In this regard, we may
refer to the Plato's "Allegory of the Cave". One should "touch" the real world problems and get
personal experience from it. Shadows in the cave are the retrospectives of the real knowledge. To
acquire the knowledge, we should leave the "cave". We can learn theory separated from practice and
this will not have any result. Instead, we should understand that every individual is a part of the
natural world, thus, education should be based on ecological literacy as "health of our planet" is one
of the most urgent questions of the modern social community.
For many centuries, the principles of the classical education were in the spotlight. The good of the
individual, realizing his/her own potential were the purposes of the learning process. Cultural
development is the aim of the classical education. It stands above everything, including religion.

What Is Good Education Essay
What is a Good Education?
Education literally means the things a person learns by being taught.
So, the definition of a good education would be the things a person learns by being taught well.
But what exactly does that mean? No one has ever told you that, right. To me a good education is
basically achieved when a person has a general to specific knowledge of the things that have
happened in the world, things that could happen in the future of the world, how to communicate
with others, and how to live safely in the world today.
In order to live in this day and age, a person needs to know what has happened to people or places
before their time. This is basically learned in a history class. If the person is well educated in history,

William Shakespeare, Emily Dickinson, Edgar Allen Poe, and Charles

enough for a person to be able to function in society.
However, knowing a little bit of detail about authors in history would be of great help.
People should also know a little about what could happen in the future. They should know a little
about the ways the government could change, space exploration breakthroughs, who is forming a
peace treaty, as well as if a war could break out. This information is very general and

that one country has problems with another, a war could break out and they would have no idea

What is a Good Education?
Education literally means the things a person learns by being taught.
So, the definition of a good education would be the things a person learns by being taught well.
But what exactly does that mean? No one has ever told you that, right. To me a good education is
basically achieved when a person has a general to specific knowledge of the things that have
happened in the world, things that could happen in the future of the world, how to communicate
with others, and how to live safely in the world today.
In order to live in this day and age, a person needs to know what has happened to people or places
before their time. This is basically learned in a history class. If the person is well educated in history,

Many school leaders and teachers realise that is now time to take more control over the curriculum

approach to developing 'creativity'
For school leaders the first step in developing a creative school is the fostering of a whole–school

be discussion, involvement and ownership. The debate should be based around some of the
following points:

fostering the professional development of all the staff, both teaching and non–teaching

self esteem and decreases her chances of getting a higher education and fulfilling goals of becoming
world leaders, scientists, inventors, educators or even good mothers.

I think that many of the schools today merely try to prepare the students to move on to college and
by doing so exclude the students who are gifted with other abilities that are equally important and
useful in society, even though those talents may not necessarily be something that can be refined
through a traditional four year college.
As a future teacher, I very strongly believe that students need to be shown practical applications of
the concepts they are taught. For myself this is especially notable in mathematical applications. As
teachers we need to not just show how to work through a problem: we need to show why it works
and what it is useful for. Without something to apply the information to math is nothing more than a
stream of numbers and formulas that students memorize for a specific test and then quickly forget.
By demonstrating specific examples of applications the students will be able to retain some of the
information easier and then adapt what they learn to other problems they encounter in the future.
Upon graduation I hope to begin teaching Math at the middle school or high school level.

I disagree with Bloom because he encourages the idea of taking extra irrelevant classes to achieve

many courses such as English, math, history, art, etc. that a student must go through before they get
to start on the classes that concentrate on their intended major. These basic courses are part of a
program called general education. After completing general education (which usually takes about
two years), the students can then begin to study for their degree. Colleges should abandon the law
of students having to take general education courses because the courses are irrelevant to their field
of study, unnecessary and a waste of time. Instead of taking the extra courses, students can simply
meet their needs of a degree in a shorter period of time. Also, Bloom not only that wants students to

Another impact of achieving an education is that it brings knowledge to one's life. Knowledge is a
powerful benefit for people in their understandings. Both Douglass and Malcolm also recognized
the power of knowledge that impacted them into following education. With great effort, Malcolm
was fascinated with the knowledge he gained "I could for the first time pick up a book and read
and now begin to understand what the book was saying"(81). He made a progress in reading to
understand the contents of a book even if it is the first time he picked it up. Knowledge also
assisted Douglass in finding the injustice of slavery and motivating him to gain his freedom. In the
essay "Learning to Read and Write", he states that "the more I read, the more I was lead to abhor
and detest my enslavers. I could regard them in no other light than a band of successful robbers,
who had left their home, and gone to Africa, and stolen us from our homes and in a stargerland
reduced us to slavery."(64). He became cognizant of what fate was in hold for the enslavers. That
idea impacted him to gain more knowledge and escape slavery to share his knowledge and what
must be done. Today, people who want to gain knowledge have to go to school for their education.
People that attend are taught the essential lessons that they need in order to move forward in life.

the power of knowledge that impacted them into following education. With great effort, Malcolm
was fascinated with the knowledge he gained "I could for the first time pick up a book and read
and now begin to understand what the book was saying"(81). He made a progress in reading to
understand the contents of a book even if it is the first time he picked it up. Knowledge also
assisted Douglass in finding the injustice of slavery and motivating him to gain his freedom. In the
essay "Learning to Read and Write", he states that "the more I read, the more I was lead to abhor
and detest my enslavers. I could regard them in no other light than a band of successful robbers,
who had left their home, and gone to Africa, and stolen us from our homes and in a stargerland
reduced us to slavery."(64). He became cognizant of what fate was in hold for the enslavers. That
idea impacted him to gain more knowledge and escape slavery to share his knowledge and what
must be done. Today, people who want to gain knowledge have to go to school for their education.
People that attend are taught the essential lessons that they need in order to move forward in life.
Out of everyone in my family, I am the only one given the chance to go to college.

education is training not learning.

It is stated nowhere. Education should be about becoming enlightened to the works of the world.
I am not saying becoming a lawyer or a business person is wrong or inimical. What I am saying is
being a artist or philosopher is just as advantageous. In fact art and philosophy should be made
standard issue in schools. We all need to know how to think for ourselves. This is not an easy thing
to accomplish, we would need more money for schools in order to pay for teachers and materials.
This would not completely solve the problem however.
We must change the way we think and take control of ourselves. It is essential that we not be lead
blindly. It is time that we hold people accountable for their actions. No longer are we be to lead by
people just because they belong to a political party that we belong to. Instead we must be
independent in our thoughts. Most importantly education should be a tool not a crutch.
Education is defined in many ways, however, they all mean the same thing.
To be formed into the mold of a productive worker. What does this do for the world? Nothing, it
creates another mindless drone to carry out the work of its master. The people in power do not
want this to change because it serves their purposes. We must change or over time we will lose our
