An Educational Evolution
As the times change, so does the way we live our daily lives. Our education is also one of the many changes. Life is advancing with the rising era of technology. There are more opportunities available to get an education than times before, like online education. It is now up to the effort of students to succeed. With all the information technology has, we can now have education at the palm of our hands. Traditional education has been the only way students received education years before. With online education, students can go to school at any time and even graduate early while learning at their own pace.
Education is essential to building a solid path towards career goals. Interaction between students and teachers can be a large determinant of how well students learn in classes. Traditional education is needed for students who cannot afford to take online classes or have no access to the internet. Public schools are part of traditional education and are free of charge. Without public schools, many students would not learn how to read, write, or do basic math problems (Wile). Public schools offer many extracurricular activities and programs, like sports, for free (Wile). Teachers can form bonds with students and teach them life lessons (Saptono). In traditional classrooms, students socialize with their peers and learn at the same time (Saptono). They can also teach students how to be punctual and organized.
With traditional education, students have primary focus on their teachers, they are effortful, academically responsible, and stay focused (Chandler et al.).

Children want to learn about the world around them. The current education system often takes a the natural curiosity that children have, and crushes it. Education is meant to be valuable. Unschooling is a way for kids to learn organically, so they do not have to the weight of class ruining their love of knowledge. Unschooling can happen in any environment, whether it be in the country, in the city, or even a museum. Unschooling is a better solution to education than the current common core. This method can prove to be slower for some students, however they still learn on their own merit. Unschooling is slowly gaining acceptance among homeschooling. Ten percent of 1.8 million homeschooled children are unschooled (Wilson). Unschooling is a better alternative to standard teaching, because standard teaching methods stifles creativity and eagerness to gain knowledge. In Massachusetts students 12 hours or more in class, as directed by state law ( Hewitt). The amount of time spent in class stifles a student’s want to learn on their own. Students are forced to sit through hours of education that may not have any meaning in the future. Unschooling allows students to get away from the harsh education system. Once students begin to hate learning they no longer wish to, unschooling a alternative that allows students to learn
Modern classrooms are essential to students and their education. the learning space should be contemporary and enable for learners of all learning styles and methods. it is essential that focus is on the learner and that their environment is created to aid them. As stated, it is important for classrooms to implement both a behaviourist approach as well as a social-cultural approach. this allows for the lack of intimate education with the child on a personal level to be achieved and create self-fulfilled learners. It caters for a broader range of teaching and allows for students to be taught more creative principles, where the behaviourist approach fails.
From school buildings to supplies and teacher license requirements, life is very different for students and teachers today compared to two centuries ago. Today’s teachers receive higher education to learn the profession, and students learn new subjects such as foreign language, art, health, and science. After a long day of learning, most take the school bus home and continue their studies further. One thing that is similar between education in the 1800s and education now, however, is that children grow up to become well-educated, well-rounded individuals who are knowledgeable about themselves and the world around

School has been in our lives for the longest time and it has always been a positive experience. It sets students on a path to achieve their education goal and stepping stones to a career! Now with all the advancements in life, students have the opportunity to do online classes. This is useful if the pupil is not able to attend school or their school does not offer some classes that they would like to take. Experiencing both of these ways of schooling, I have an understanding of the differences between the two. The major differences between online school and traditional school are the flexibility opportunities, the communication with the teachers, and the time management/discipline from the learner.
Online education is a booming trend in the education world. It is something different than the traditional classroom. It is allowing student around the world the opportunity to get an education. Online education allows student to have a more proficient and cheaper way of learning. Having multiple ways to give a student an education allows all learning types to find their own way of learning. Education changes lives but it can be difficult for students to get to a classroom to sit through an hour class 4 times a week, this can be for many different reasons. There are many doubts about online education, but this a new world without borders it is a new opportunity for people from all over the world to get an education.
Technology is a key element in the world today. It plays an important role in almost everything. Education is no exception to this; technology has been present in education for many years now. The purpose of this paper is to discuss why education is better with the addition of technology. More importantly, I am talking about this so that my audience will become more aware of how technology supports what is being done in education.
Education is a vital part of society. It serves the beneficial purpose of educating our children and getting them ready to be productive adults in today's society. But, the social institution of education is not without its problems. Continual efforts to modify and improve the system need to be made, if we are to reap the highest benefits that education has to offer to our children and our society as a whole.

When students are deciding on where to go to college, they have the option of choosing between online classes and the traditional classroom classes. Today, some students are finding it much easier to maintain a job, family and start a college career, all by taking online classes. Although some students still prefer to stick with the traditional classroom classes, they still have the option to take online classes. Both online and the traditional classes will provide the educational requirements needed to obtain a college degree and opportunities in the work field. Although the online classes offer just as much as the traditional classes, they are completely different when it comes to teaching methods, course material and time.

Online courses soon will prevail over the traditional high school and college education. Online Universities will create classes sponsored by companies. These companies will direct the universities on the materials of the course. The company will then offer those who pass the course a job. This will created a skilled worked specifically for a position in a company. Teachers will take a backseat in these courses. Teachers will offer one-on-one help and help people work collaboratively. These teachers will be more of a guide then a true classroom teacher.
