As an educator I feel that after further skill development and education I will have what it takes. I feel that being an educator suits me. I have changed what I planned on going to school for. I was going to go for elementary education, no I plan to get an education and find a career in a special education early childhood classroom. Education is defiantly the profession I’m going to pursue. When I started college I was set on pursuing a degree in physical therapy, after a semester of…

included in curriculum is a widely debated subject. Everything from math, to physical education, to the arts is included in different curriculums. However, some disagree that the arts, such as dance, drama, and music, shouldn’t be included in the school system. These people propose that these are luxury topics, and not necessary for success in the real world. This concept might apply to some kids, but others find delight in the arts, and even wish to pursue a career involving these skills. Some…

educational environment. 3. Schools must respect the diversity of families and their (diverse) needs. 4. All families care about kids. 5. Family involvement is important throughout a child’s whole educational career. And # 8: One size does not fit all. I can’t help but think, during the course of all of these lectures, that while I agree with 80% of what Dr. Townsend is saying and the premises sound good, the conclusions are faulty…

After all they do for us they still are overlooked by societal “priorities”. They are the base of education. They are the lineman that block for the quarterback. They are the producers of the genesis that make millions today. Yet, the average school teacher will only get paid $56,000 per year working with 21st century kids for around 843 hours a year. Nobody realizes the hardships a teacher will face when in the classroom until they become one themselves. Increasing the salary of a teacher will…

Issues in Education: John Holt’s “School Is Bad for Children” They say everyone’s opinions matter, but in an academic school setting, opinions are irrelevant. In John Holt’s “School Is Bad for Children”, the author addresses the problem of the public education system. Holt portrays the schools by saying that they kill children’s curiosity about life, and goes to show his personal reaction since he himself is a teacher and educational theorist. An analysis of “School Is Bad for Children” reveals…

students greatly affects the way a person develops. A person’s experience in school shapes the way they look at the world, how they think, how they interact with others, and how they learn. In the United States, children are sent to school at five years old, graduate at eighteen, and some continue on to college. An average person in the United States will spend a large portion of their adolescents and early twenties in a school environment; which…

significant value that it holds today, which is the advancement of social capital. However, prior to the late-1960’s, education had no correlation to the corporate world. Americans lived by the “cardinal principles,” which became the concept that high school only prepared students for the real world (Rury 219). This meant that the students could enter just about any field that they desired through proper job training. Eventually, as globalization grew, the United States realized that the nation…

best choice for me than being a registered nurse like I mentioned before. I am passionate about being a teacher and working with kids and influencing their life. Being a teacher involves just working school hours when the students are present. You can meet with teachers and students before and after school but most of the time they just spend their time grading papers and preparing lessons during the evening while they are at home. This leaves you with more than enough time to keep up with your…

excels in school and gets a high paying career after college. The culture one grows up in will influence what they aspire to become, but for some that is not always the case. For many students where they come from is what pushes them to become more than what society expects, but they will have a long journey ahead of them just because they do not come from the right social economic background. Student from different social classes receive a varying quality of education because schools use…

Why most Americans students are failing? Schools don’t get enough funding from the government and because of this they don’t have enough resource such as, pencils, books, and other school materials. Because of teachers’ salary is too low, they just go from one school to other school in order to find a better salary. Money affects students in many ways such as students parts time job, schools don’t have enough supplies, teachers don’t get paid enough and therefore they don’t try to teach,…
