From an early age I have been exposed to the benefits and triumphs available to someone who works as an educator. Coming from a family where both my parents were involved in Education has had a substantial impact on my career choices. My mother has been a Special Education Teacher, and my father an Educational Audiologist, for more than 30 years. I can remember walking over to mom’s classroom after most days in junior high and being enlisted to help out in some varying degree. Whether it was…
technology, retail, healthcare, farming, etc., future education reform needs to include a plan to educate citizens who can maintain and grow the increasing complex civic infrastructure. To guarantee our communities can address the current and future demands of the 21st century and ensure that the next generation of highly educated professionals come from within our United States borders, all US citizens must believe they have access to the education and training needed for…
Although some parents have a limited awareness of the scope of their children’s bilingual education program (Lee, 1999; Sheffer, 2003), parents whose children are enrolled in two-way dual language programs tend to have high levels of involvement (Cloud et al., 2000). In my school district, parents play a critical role in program planning and sustainability. Based on parent meeting attendance held in the month of September in my school, parents of students in the dual language programs were…

schools have the same images: a lot of students who want to become a doctor, engineers or lawyers. Those professions are very traditional and people earn a lot of money; however, high schools should require arts education because it can give some good benefits. The benefits of arts education are: it can help students to socialize, people can express better their feelings, and it is fundamental to stimulate the potential of us. It can be considered a personal achievement; It does not have a…
distribution and wealth. Unfortunately, education has so far failed to rise to the top step of this discussion, but the two are intrinsically linked. Across the nation, and particularly in urban areas, public schools are failing to properly educate children. The biggest gaps in education continue to divide students by race and social class, with African American and Hispanic students faring dramatically worse than their Caucasian peers. A crumbling education infrastructure in New York is…
On the last second to last Sunday of August, I packed away the last box of my possessions. Everything I held dear to in the world was packed into the trunk of my mom’s car in cigarette boxes from my sister’s work. It somehow felt wrong that 18 years’ worth of memories and collections and life were so easy to gather up and ship off. Yet this transition somehow felt oddly fitting. It’s comforting to know that picking up and starting over can be so easy. A new life, a new chance at becoming exactly…
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…

Education is so important in our emancipation and development as human beings. It is important that we look holistically and start with the basics as a means to begin our exploration of developing ways of living in a kind of balance with our habitat and its inhabitants.
