The Importance Of Education In The United States

Improved Essays
Education in the United State is a crucial aspect to a great citizen. I think to help make this country succeed we need citizens that can succeed and having an education can do just that. The first presidents of this country had to have been educated in many aspects to even start the idea of traveling to this country, coming up with bills, and starting a government. Education I think at times is looked over but if you think about it, education is the foundation of a successful citizen and I think starting children at an early age in school sets them on the right track to becoming successful adults. I do not believe in following a curriculum step by step. I feel like that is more for robots than humans. Every student will learn different and use the concepts they are taught in different ways so it is our jobs as teacher to expand on the student’s fine points. With that being said I will always do as I am told under the rules of my school but I will do everything in my power as a teacher to engage my students and help them learn and …show more content…
Education is at the foundation of success. I believe that even successful business owners that do not have a college degree are educated in their business and how it works. I am to teach at the best of my ability and to give my all everyday for my students. I expect to teach to the best of my ability so my students can learn at the best of their ability. Also, the community and families I teach with are a very important role in my teaching. I believe that where I decide to teach at I need to be devoted to the community and families also, and that we come to an agreement that they will trust me to educate their children. I think being a teacher is one of the most important jobs in the United States the children we get to help transform into adults will one day be leading this country, so our job is to help them succeed as much as

    America's standard of public education has fallen into a deep decline over the last decade. School should be better constructed to teach kids how to prepare for adult life and the real world. Many of the things taught today in school have little to no value to students after they graduate. Curriculum should involve very crucial life skills such as people skills, critical thinking, and financial management. Our Education System barely does anything to cater to those needs, which sets kids up for failure later in life.…

    I agree that as teachers should have “a thorough knowledge of what we teach, the ability to interpret such knowledge authentically, and the skill to communicate effectively” (Brummelen, 2009) It is very important that we know and understand the material ourselves, but the act of teaching it to our students goes way beyond our knowledge. Our job does not simply consist of relaying information about our subject, but conveying that knowledge in a way that will stimulate a deeper learning.…

    On one side of the debate, education is said to be following the Constitution and Declaration of Independence, while providing a beneficial education to students. However, if you look at the facts and what education should be in the United States, you will find that the united States is not upholding the principles of government in the United States when it comes to education. First of all, to get straight to the point, the problem with education is that since the Constitution states nothing about education, it is up to the states and the people to decide what to do, but the people are not getting much say in their children’s education. Ed.gov states, “Education is primarily a State and local responsibility in the United States.” This means that education falls under the principle of Federalism, established in the Constitution, which is the sharing of powers between the state governments and the national government.…

    We need to not only understand our subject but also need to understand students and how they learn. I hope to still gain wider knowledge and ideas of teaching throughout my course. If I can do this, then I believe that I can be the best teacher I can be and encourage my students to want to be their best throughout their learning. My past experiences have helped me to know what type of teacher I want to be and wider research has supported and influenced my ideas. As a teacher I want to promote learning and make the students as interested as possible and my understanding of all the above points will help me develop this…

    Another year has come and the past and yet again Nevada has made its presence known; but not in the way it wants. Nevada, as keeping in tradition, has for the third year in the row ranked last among all states and Washington DC in education. Now this won 't come as a surprise to many, with the lackluster funding, and scandal that continuously define Nevada 's education system. Yet nevertheless, this isn 't the kind of news Nevadans want to hear. And with the current debate over Core Curriculum, and the several education-related initiatives on this year 's 2016 ballot; the conversation over education has never been so relevant.…

    Yet literacy rates before then, before compulsory public schooling, are estimated to be around 90% to 98%. Men such as Abraham Lincoln, Samuel Langhorne Clemens (Mark Twain), and Frederick Douglass were able to educate themselves and move on to contribute greatly to society without the benefit of public education in any form, as did most Americans in that era(Sowell, Inside 18-24,27). In fact, in many countries today, countries such as Switzerland, where it is estimated that only 23% of its citizens attend public high school, have the highest income per capita in the world and more scholarly individuals in comparison to other countries. This is generally attributed to the lack of public education (Murray Real 33,34). The same show similar literacy rates to that of early America, where little was available in the way of public…

    I would like you to think back to a decision that was made over 60 years ago in Brown versus the Board of Education. When this decision was made, the courts knew the importance of education. Brown v. Board (1954) state it better than I ever could: “In these days, it is doubtful that any child may reasonably be expected to succeed in life if he is denied the opportunity of an education… [Education] is a right which must be made available to all on equal terms.” If these words were true 60 years ago, imagine how much more apt they are today.…

    Education today, in my opinion, is not doing what it should be doing to ensure that America is actually living up to what it is known for...the land of opportunities. I believe that education should be about an empowering experience that helps students discover their passions, fosters their critical thinking skills, promotes an environment that accepts diversity, and encourages students to apply to skills to the outside world. This should be he purpose of American public schooling because it will help society adapt to changing times and encourage the growth of a well-rounded, modern, and accepting culture which in the long run help foster peace and equality. I am sure that there are many schools in America that try and foster all of things,…

    My philosophy on education stands as is, every child is unique and with that child’s uniqueness is their drive. As an educator it is my responsibility to help find and motivate each and every child, to help them become the best possible individual he or she can be. I will do this by keeping my lessons up to date and relevant, by feeding their natural curiosity, and most importantly keeping them involved in everything we do. I feel if I can do this effectively that each and every child who comes through my classroom will be a better more rounded person when they leave.…

    I feel that if a teacher orders students around they will be given less respect. If you keep them in line without being too controlling, they will be more effective listeners. I will create a type of democracy in which everyone will have a voice in their educational curriculum. Students should be allowed to have some sort of input into the type of education they are receiving. If they do not like something you are doing, you should take the time and listen to their ideas.…
