    Education throughout history has never stopped changing. Primitive education focused mainly on preparing children to enter their society, but formal education in early civilization, like egypt, was only provided for the wealthy and only taught by priests. For new world civilization education was a way to train for future life, develop the morals and characters of children, and a way to control children's cultural belief. By the 1840s public education had been accepted in the Northern states, but not by most people in the South. People in the South didn’t as quickly accept public schools because they believed that state shouldn’t be concerned by education and that education is private, that education should prepare children for the world they will be entering, that knowledge is power and can’t be entrusted to slaves, and their different religious beliefs.…

Anthony, therefore, I wanted to read that chapter to see if I could discover something new about her or a different perspective. Whereas, I have heard about Catharine Beecher and Horace Mann before, but only briefly. Therefore, I wanted to read that chapter to read who they were and what impact they had on education. I was not surprised that the book began with the history of teaching with females being the main correspondence.…

    Education is such an essential and fundamental element in our lives. Throughout education, we acquire knowledge, learn what people before us have discovered or written and undoubtedly carve our own thinking the way we have been thought. In the article "Education", Ralph Waldo Emerson, a renowned lecturer and visionary thinker, expresses how education that is being adopted in our civilization does more harm than good for the students. He builds up this claim by first presenting a paradox connecting "Genius and Drill", in which one cannot function without the other.…

I want to become someone who will teach younger students things that they begin to learn at that age.…
