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,…
There are many reasons why education is a necessary asset for living a successful life. Whether is it getting a job, developing social skills, or just meeting new people, education will always be with you for as long as you live. The main purpose of the education system is to prepare you for your future life. If you want to have any kind of career, you need to graduate high school and most likely a college degree as well. If you do not have a career, you will not be able to provide for your…
As quickly as the world, government, society, and education system is changing, so should our purpose of education. The purpose of education has always changed to fit in with the current needs of society, which often leads to the undermining of many other important functions that education must fulfill. I argue that education must be an active process that takes on this challenge of keeping up with society. The purpose of education should be inquiry because it pushes students to go through a…
The purpose of education should be to provide meaningful learning opportunities to extend a student’s knowledge, strengths and capabilities attained through their social environment to empower them to embrace their future, where they feel confident and valued in society. It is through guidance and the development of relationships between students and teachers that provide those meaningful learning opportunities that broaden and expand a student’s competence. Formal education provides learning…
The purpose of education is to be a well-rounded individual and to discover one’s passion in life. A cultivated individual who contributes to society must have certain skills and attributes; some important skills are creativity, critical thinking, compassion, and tolerance. Each characteristic contributes to growth and development of a well-respected individual of society. An education provides students with the opportunities to discover their likes and dislikes in a safe and controlled…
The purpose of public education should be to give students a free and equal education. While I do believe that public education provides an abundant education for some, I also believe it hinders and holds back others. Public education gives students a free and unequal education. Inner-city students attend public schools where they lack books and engaged teachers. They are expected to learn without the necessary resources. Inner-city students don’t have the funds they need to gain an equal…
One of the most important things in life is education. While most people assume education has a direct correlation to school, people often learn more things outside of school without realizing it. Learning plays a pivotal role in our lives. Benjamin Franklin once said, “An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.” The question we should ask ourselves is whether or not our education system in America really succeeds in its purpose. I believe it does not. While it focuses around important…
The purpose of education can be defined as the nature of the curriculum and assessment. This content area is important because teaching the curriculum is how you teach the students. To teach every student you need to teach the curriculum in a way that they will understand it. This includes teaching multiple different ways because each student learns differently. The goal as a teacher is to help every student learn and to succeed in future schooling and life. When a student fully understands…
Purposes of Education Suppose we did not have education and therefore, no need for teachers. Where would society be? My personal opinion is that we would not be able to accomplish the things that we have in society such as computers and electronics in general, the tall building we see in cities, and we never would have made it to the moon. The purpose of education as we know it is to learn as much as we can, then we pass it on to the willing persons of the next generation for them to…
An education is the process of learning that leads to every individual being able to expand their creativity, gain knowledge and learn new skills. It’s obvious that receiving an education is an essential enlightening experience, but there are so many people in this world who don’t seem to understand how getting an education actually is important. “What is the purpose of learning this?” being the most asked question among students. “Because its written in your syllabus,” may not be the best…
