My mother always told me “the only thing you have that no one can take away from you is your education.” As a student, I was taught about vocation as well, which is one’s higher purpose in life. In my own words, college is just the epicenter of the big “grind” of life. The decision to be a teacher in 2016 comes from my belief and desire to impact lives in the best way possible; to use methods unconventional, yet very effective to a child’s attention span that I once had.

Horace Man said that “all men are equal in the eyes of God.” Human Nature consists of three factors, intelligence, knowledge (the theory we touched upon earlier) and purpose. This will stem from Mann’s understanding of Locke’s philosophy that man is “basically good.” With the Human Nature aside, Horace Mann touches upon his theory of Transmission. The theory of
Transmission holds the backbone of the education system, the educators and the roles of an educator in all aspects of the system. Horace Mann advocated for a system where women taught the youth and men taught the incoming teachers at universities and colleges. Transmission applies to the application of teaching in the classroom and a teacher’s ability to teach multiple styles that can have one classroom of a diverse group of children, on the same page.
Horace Mann emphasized how society played a role in education, becoming one of his theories. In the eyes of education, we live in a classless society where anyone child can attain an education if the child is willing to learn. This means that whether a student is poor or rich, white or black, Christian or Muslim, Asian or Latino, gay or straight- every student can have an …show more content…
The theory of opportunity states the immense importance of universal education for all and that no child is left behind without an education (nothing to do with the Congressional Bill).
Horace Mann’s theories hold true to a successful and fair educational system. Mann’s strong beliefs in equal opportunity, solid teaching system, a society where all men can compete on the same level and total independence through education. These theories to me scream an educational system that is simple in practice, yet complex in application. I believe that Horace
Mann understood the basic principles of education that are good enough for me to create in my own words a “solid educational system.”
Horace Mann’s ideas may seem very unconventional and ancient to the school systems in the United States today. In 2016, there is a nationwide debate on education and the use of common core in schools and how the new curriculum can be implemented. This is also no the first time education was thrown in the political arena, with the historical Supreme Court cases
Brown v. Board of Ed, Edwards v. Aguilar and Lemmon v. Kurtzman. Common core may be the next educational break through this country has seen or its biggest failure. If Horace Mann
