Recommended: Educational equality

Education should always be striving for a more just, more hopeful and more curious world.

Education is fuel for the fire of positive change...

Education serves as a way to pass shared history, knowledge and values from one generation to the next. In my opinion, education should be accessible, equitable, transparent and honest. The role of school in the life of a child should be one that encourages and empowers while also facilitating and ensuring the acquisition of knowledge and understanding needed to participate fully in and succeed in the wider world. Education has the power to maintain a society as well as to change it.

Without learning there is no teaching...

In the classroom, teachers are not simply dictators of what is a correct answer and what is an incorrect answer...

  • Locke's View On Property: Karl Marx And John Locke

    1321 Words  | 3 Pages

    Property is an issue that remained highly debated upon by philosophers such as Karl Marx and John Locke in the discussion of the political philosophy of the seventh and eighteenth centuries. These two philosophers have their own individual views of property; Locke believes that the acquisition of property is ‘natural’ and that there exists a right to obtain and keep it, and Marx strongly believes that property should be abolished. Regarding these two political philosophers’ views about property, I believe Locke’s view is more useful for creating and maintaining a peaceful and stable society because (to him) property is natural and contributes to the equality already present in a state of nature.

  • What is the Greatest Cause of War

    1388 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Vietnam War began on November 1, 1955 and ended April 30, 1975. It lasted for 19 and 1/2 years. There had been fighting in Vietnam for decades before the Vietnam War began. The Vietnamese had suffered under French colonial rule for nearly six decades when Japan invaded portions of Vietnam in 1940 (Rosenberg). Although most of the fighting took place in Vietnam, the war also spilled over into neighboring Laos and Cambodia in the early 1970s (Szczepanski). The causes of the Vietnam War were derived from the symptoms, components and consequences of the Cold War (Trueman). During the time of the Vietnam War, both the Republic of South Vietnam and the Democratic Republic of North Vietnam had numerous allies. More than forty nations provided assistance and military support, they also sent men, money and material to support the government and the Army of Vietnam. In addition, a number of other nations sent along small contingents of medical, transportation, construction and other experts (Friedmen).

  • The Goal Of Education Rhetorical Analysis

    565 Words  | 2 Pages

    I believe that the purpose of education is to produce the next generation of leaders who are intelligent and have great character. This idea is supported in the article “The Purpose of Education” by Martin Luther King. Martin Luther King Jr. was a civil rights activist who fought for black and white people to have equal rights in America. He writes about the true purpose, and meaning of education in the article by saying, “Education must enable one to sift and weigh evidence, to discern the true from the false, the real from the unreal, and the facts from the fiction (MLK1).” This quote from the article explains that being academically educated is very important. It will help people stand up, be a leader, and take charge to make the world a better place for everyone. That gallant leader will argue against the fallacy, lies,

    The purpose of schooling can be highly subjective, but some core purposes have persisted through time. These core values are important and will continue to be the driving force of education. Unfortunately, many times the idealized purposes of education are vastly different from the reality. Our education system is not perfect but it is constantly improving. Despite its flaws, our current school system does teach our children many important skills, both socially and academically. School gives our children a chance to reach their full potential and succeed in life. As our culture changes, so will our purposes behind educating our children.

The Communist forces were supported by China and the Soviet Union; were supported by the United States. The Vietnam conflict caused a lot of the quarreling in the United States. The Vietnam conflict was fought in South Vietnam; it was also fought in the near neighborhood of Laos and Cambodia. One of the things to realize about the war is that it was very progressive. It started really small as a group of “advisors” below President Dwight Eisenhower and finished up with over a total of 2.5 million American troops drawn in.

    Becoming a teacher was not something I always knew I wanted. As I approached an age where I really started considering what I would like to do for a career I only knew that I did not want to work in an office behind a desk all day. I wanted a job that would be interactive, challenging and exciting. I also knew I wanted a job that would be important and would somehow contribute to the world in an important way. I thought being a teacher; particularly a teacher in the primary levels would fulfill those hopes and goals assuming I dedicate myself to becoming an effective teacher who has a positive influence on the lives of my students.

    Education is a very important aspect of our lives. It is our education that makes us who we are and determines what we become. Therefore, education is not something to be taken lightly. As a teacher, my goal will be to provide the best possible education for my students. Every student is unique. I must see students for who they are individually and respect their ideas and opinions. Each student has a different learning style. I must take this into consideration because I want to provide a constructive learning opportunity for every student. I believe that every student has the potential to learn.

  • Educational Philosophy Statement

    1333 Words  | 3 Pages

    Education is everywhere. This is why teachers need to be the best they can be. Since all children and adolescents are required to attend school, they need teachers that care about them and their education. In order for a teacher to be able to do this, he/she needs to understand the nature of students and knowledge. These two things go together. A teacher also needs to know what the purpose of an education is because without knowing, a teacher does not really have a purpose. In my philosophy, I will discuss why I think my curricular area is important and how I will professionally develop myself to become the best teacher I can be.

  • Education Prepares Children for the Future

    1535 Words  | 4 Pages

    . The purpose of education is to prepare the children of today to be productive citizens of our world tomorrow. School serves as an important tool to prepare students to be independent thinkers, to develop skills that will help them in life and in the end to use these skills to be productive in their environment and hopefully change it for the best. Education begins from the moment we are born. From birth to about 6 years of age our brain does most of its development. That’s why it’s extremely important to surround children with a bright environment because this time of their life will most likely define how effective they will be in achieving success in the future. A mile stone in education happens when we began to read. I feel that all children of the world should know how to read and write. Is like Dr. Seuss said “The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn the more places you'll go.” Education opens new doors and without it we can’t understand each other and will not be able to advance in our society.

    This cycle of obedience and passive acceptance can spill over into other aspects of life where learners conform to beliefs and values without critically evaluating them. Brian Crittenden (1972: 146) speaks about “mis-education” which occurs when the content the teacher presents is a “violation of a ‘critical inquiry”. In other words the teacher presents information is such a way as to exclude any opportunity for enquiry.

    Nelson Mandela once said,“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”. Education is the process of gaining information about the world. Education gives us knowledge of the world around us and changes it into something even better. Access to education is the foundation of a democratic society, because it provides an opportunity for all to achieve the American Dream, ensures equality and justice, and allows for our country to compete globally for a prosperous future.
