People say money is what makes the world go around, however, education is truly what makes the world go around. If people really think hard about what education has done for America it is astonishing. American citizens getting a formal education is one major things that separates us from struggling third world countries. Formal education is what makes us humans more capable than animals. We have the brain capacity and the ability to learn more than just how to hunt and survive.

Two really good early childhood programs in Kansas are at Wichita Sate University (WSU) and Pittsburg State University (Pitt State). At WSU they have an early childhood unified program. That means that it certifies teaching children from birth to third grade. The biggest upside to WSU is it is about forty minuets from my house, but the down side is it would cost around $18,000 a year. Pitt State also has an early childhood unified program, but to complete the degree in four years I would have to take summer classes. The biggest up side to Pitt State is it would only be about $15,000 a year, while the biggest down side is that it is around three hours away from my house.

One is not better than the other in this way, they are just different. When you compare the distance WSU is the better choice but, when you compare the cost Pitt State is the obvious answer. WSU is also much larger than Pitt State, and I am used to a small school and small class …show more content…

When someone is teaching they must be patient and knowledgeable. Teachers must take care of all of their students, teach the subject(s), and keep the class entertaining. In the past teaching jobs were hard to come by but know teaching jobs have an over all positive outlook. I am very interested in the career of early childhood education because I have always had an interest in the way children learn, they put so much time and effort into every task they are given and they want whatever project they do to be wonderfully done. Teaching has always been something I enjoyed doing; when I was a child I would come home from school and want to teach my younger brothers everything I had learned that day. We often times played school and I would be the teacher. Now that I am older I still enjoy teaching and I get to help children learn on a daily basis in the pals
