No Education, No Life! Just like food, water and air, education has become a basic necessity for everyone to survive in today's world. Education is a broad concept that refers to all the experiences in which students can learn something to develop and establish them in the society. Education could be formal and informal. Formal education consists of a systematic standard of instruction, teaching and training. This format is derived from many different disciplines of life, i.e., psychology, philosophy, biology, linguistics, sociology, etc. While informal education consists of the general etiquette, decorum, rules and codes of conduct in the society.
Informal education is what you get mostly and largely from your progenitors. Your initial lessons starts from home where you get to learn how to sit, stand, behave and speak in the society with elders, mates, friends and others. When you start learning certain decorum then comes the time to go for formal education which helps in refining your persona further with more useful and powerful knowledge. This formal education helps you achieve your ultimate goal in the society of being a successful man or a satisfied person (depending on your own aspirations). It also helps you be a better human being and a person with refined wisdom.
In contemporary scenario, no child should be without education, as it is almost impossible to survive without it. Now all the nations and states have made it mandatory to provide primary/ elementary education to all kids, unbiased of their caste, creed, race, status and nationality. Special kids who have some difficulty in reading and writing, like other normal kids, also have an absolute access to any normal school for learning things the way others do with a little more care and concern. Various special schools are also available for their better and hassle free growth.
Students, who wish to pursue higher studies from well reputed institutes, are provided with scholarships to help them reach their target in life. Several governments affiliated and private graduate colleges and vocational institutes are also available to their rescue. Education, Local Issues and Federal Government
When people talk about education it is amazing how little they really understand. Funding for Education often has a lot to do with property taxes and therefore those folks who have wealth in real estate they are paying more for schools, even if they have no children in them.
Of course one might say that you can either pay for schools now or prisons, courts, rehabs and police later. Some say the problems facing education today are caused by the Bush Administration; that is utter non-sense.
In fact, President Bush went up to bat for students as they were graduating but could not even read. I know this because as the Founder of a Franchising Company, I was amazed with people who could not read the operations manuals, which I personally wrote at an eighth grade reading level. Obviously, we want people who graduate from High School to read rightall
Many teachers complain that the No Child Left Behind causes too much teaching in the classroom and Federal Monies come with "Strings Attached" with these Federal Programs, yes they do. What is the point? If the School Districts do not want the money, don't take it. I was once very involved in local municipal politics. Drove me nuts, many of the monies we sought, by the time we solved all the conditions of the strings attached, it was a waste anyway and so we chose not to do the project.
In my humble opinion, the Government does nothing very well and most everything less efficient than free markets could do. And if we increase social programs for our aging population, YES, taxes will have to increase. But I propose making our Government 'small enough to drown in the bathtub if we have to because Ronald Reagan was right on his Halloween Scary thought; "we are the government and we are here to help you"
Yes, indeed that is a most scary phrase and therefore I stand firm in my observations, experience and opinion on the matter, although no one can disagree with a teacher's comments about over crowding or 30-kids in the classroom dilemma. Education is a huge issue.
Like you I have so many thoughts on this issue and hear your comments if you are a teacher. I certainly hope this article is of interest and that is has propelled thought. The goal is simple; to help you in your quest to be the best in 2007. I thank you for reading my many articles on diverse subjects, which interest you.
