Recommended: Professionalism in teaching

Is our education system feckless and overbearing? Regurgitation, hypocrisy,

selfish, and clueless, could all these words be attributes of what makes the

California school system. Many people would place their faith in this immediately

and without hesitation or second thought because of what they have experienced

with the California schools. Some schools are capable of being sensible enough

to avoid some of these titles, and others claiming all of them and exercising them

simultaneously. This is something that we as Americans and Californians resent

about the system that rules over us.

First, what is education? Not many people can bring themselves to ask this

question. Or perhaps they cannot bring themselves to answer this question? Our

modern deep thinkers or philosophers have an answer but simply don’t want to

cough up the answer. Now why would they be afraid to answer this in their true

honesty? Because it may compromise their pay check, because students will

demand that they get to participate in more hands on tasks. Why would they

want this because the proper answer to what is education is a simple seven letter

word, passion. You see in order for a person to truly become educated they must

find something they truly love and that they are passionate for, if they are not

passionate for it then they are not truly putting all of their capabilities into

something. They are effectively putting in half ass effort to whatever they are

doing. People always ask youth “Why do you think you’ll do better in college than

in high school?” The answer is actually very simple. We’ll be doing something that

we care for something that we love something that we are PASSIONATE about!

Think back to when you...

... middle of paper ...

...ys work out.

The point is in the education system out approach is very wrong. All we do is fill

the minds of our youth with knowledge, crystallized intelligence they know facts

but have no real skills. While the children who are adept in fluid intelligence are

condemned to social failure because they are better at impulsive or preplanned

problem solving rather than being adept in factual knowledge. We will nit

experience true education because we have no hands on experience and we are

not being inspired to be something bigger better and greater. We are not being

forced to expand our comfort zones we are unaware of the real world being

taught things that we will never use. We are failing because we are being failed.

We need help and the help of someone who truly cares about far more than just

their own personal gain. We need a better change soon.

    We were not born with the ability to do everything and we must allow ourselves to take our lessons as we go and learn from them. In my life there are many things that I have learned, whether it be from the trial and error of working on vehicles to me submitting an uncited English paper. We are taught from the moment we are born what failure is, we are asked to do things as simple as to say a word and we are told that is not correct. Even though that example is in the context of teaching, we still are being taught what it feels like to be told we are doing something wrong. Failure is something that we become so familiar with it becomes a natural view, seeing someone attempt to throw paper in the trash and they miss; fail or a failure as big as Chernobyl and everything in between, we are immediately taught to look down on what falls into the category of

    Langston Hughes and Richard Wright both evolved from the same literary period. Langston Hughes was born in Joplin, Missouri. Richard Wright was born in Roxie, Mississippi. Both authors wrote literatures in the 1930s. They had dissimilar writing styles, which were portrayed from their collected works; however, there were also similarities between the two authors. Hughes was a poet, novelist, and a playwright. During the 1930s, Hughes, as a popular writer connected with the Harlem Renaissances, became a public figure, working as a journalist, lecturing, and bringing out anthologies of black writing. Wright, on the other hand, worked for the Writers’ Project and did innumerable freelance journalisms. In 1935, he started to write fictions, which was strongly influenced by the literary Naturalism during that era. Richard Wright was an artist of complexity and subtlety. Hughes and Wright were both African American writers at that time. Their themes and writing styles leans towards racism, discrimination and equality. We see some of these ideas depicted in “Red Headed Baby” by Langston Hughes and “The Man Who Almost a Man” by Richard Wright. Social political issues were also portrayed, along with similarities in their writing language. Those themes were the main thoughts talked and written about during that era.

    Living in the United States as a Korean-American was not an easy task growing up. Sure I knew how to read and write English, but I did not know how to read, speak, and write my native language. It was difficult for me emotionally because I felt other people looked down on me especially Korean adults who often asked me why I did not know how to speak Korean in which I had no direct answer. "You should know how to at least speak Korean," they commonly spoke in a friendly tone, trying not to hurt my feelings. In my seventh grade year, I had the urge to take a step in order for me to fit in with the rest of my fellow peers, the Korean sub communities, and feel better about myself.

    Education is generally seen as a formal process of instruction, based on a theory of teaching, to impart formal knowledge to one or more students (Cogburn, n.d.). Henceforth, individuals seek to acquire some form of schooling from pre-school through secondary school while others may go on to tertiary to better him or her in some way. A definition of education according to the Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary is that education is “a process of teaching, training and learning, especially in schools or colleges, to improve knowledge and develop skills.” Where education in the common parlance has become a process of adding layers of one’s store of knowledge, the true aim of education is to call forth that which is essential to the individual (White, 2006). Furthermore, and according to Coombs and Ahmed 1974, education is a continuing process, spanning the years from earliest infancy through adulthood and necessarily involving a great variety of methods and sources. Education also involves inculcating in students distinct bits of knowledge; therefore education is an additive process (White, 2006). It adds to an individual as well as it adds to a country through the individuals who are and would have been or are being educated. According to a study conducted by Olaniyan and Okemakinde 2008, education creates improved citizens and helps to upgrade the general standard of living in a society. Furthermore, education plays a key role in the ability of a developing country to absorb modern technology and to develop the capacity for self-sustaining growth and development (Todaro and Smith, 2012).
