workers like engineers, doctors, politician, educators, policemen and good citizens. Therefore, teaching is considered as an instrument to touch lives. However, over the years many teachers are deciding or have left the profession. In general, many schools are losing talented teachers or have many unhappy teachers which as a result weaken the quality of the profession (Hancock & Scherff, 2010). It is crucial to investigate the reasons why are teachers unhappy and leaving the profession. Many…

his struggles and he was inspired to help others. He states, “Once you start to think about underprepared students in terms of these overlapping problem areas, all sorts of solutions present themselves”(193). So many schools might brush off who might not be doing the best in school. Mike Rose was someone who was placed in lower classes because of a mix up in test scores. Thankfully, a teacher noticed that he was excelling in a subject and brought it to someone 's attention. After that he was…

it sets the foundation of the classroom, both physically and emotionally, between all members of the classroom community. For a teacher to be effective positive relationships need to be developed, not just with the students, but also with the wider school community, such as parents so that…

students telling me about their fears and hatred of writing are not freshman in their first college-level composition class. Most of them are junior and senior education majors, close to (if not already there) graduating and becoming fully certified school teachers. In other words, the very students who claim incompetence as writers themselves are the ones who will be teaching…

I believe that her teaching had an impact on me choosing this field of work. She is one of the most inspirational teachers I know and I’m glad that I’ll get to share her story. Susan Raleigh has been teaching for over 37 years in the Little River school district and that’s probably why she is so good at it. In those 37 years, she has taught sixth, seventh, and eight grade language arts, literature and math every single year. She has also dabbled in PE and health for a few years for sixth,…

Why would I want to teach? It started back in Kindergarten when I started school myself. I was fascinated with becoming just like my teacher. Little did I know back then that my desire to be like her would actually become a desire I would follow. As I grew older and learned more about becoming an educator, three items caught my eye and mind: teacher’s job benefits, making a difference and how passionate they become. As I grew up, I started to ask my teachers what benefits they got from being…

It’s my belief that a school is a place where children are being prepared for the future. By teachers who challenge, stimulate, provoke and guide each student on an individual path. Students are taught academics and life skills, and learn best through their own experiences. Learning will be backed with allowing students to question topics and ask questions when in doubt and be supplied with extra help. Every school should be focused on preparing students for the future. This can be done in a…

to become an inspiring leader who positively impacts my family, friends, and community. The absolute means to accomplish this goal are not readily or easily defined, but the course of action in my college career I am choosing to take is through the school of business. In the business program I will have multiple opportunities to meet equally driven individuals, develop leadership qualities, and become an active ambassador around the world. By being an educated, involved, and driven citizen, I…

In this paper I am explaining how education and our current school systems are not doing a good job of teaching people what is really important in life. I will do this by, first, sharing the views of education of the philosophers Martin Luther King Jr. and Socrates, and how Socrates would view King’s work. Secondly, I will deduct how Plato and King would feel about the education being taught today and lastly, I am going to share my own experiences and thoughts about the main purpose of education…

Upon graduating high school, I enrolled in San Jacinto College to pursue a career in the field of computer science. This quest was short lived as I learned that a higher education required much more tenacity, patience, and self-discipline than high school. The absence of these characteristics in my personality generated failing grades. I decided to quit school and work full time. Thirty years later, I found myself with a long history of what I call “go nowhere jobs”. Once I learned all aspects…
