Education Today

Education has changed drastically throughout the years. It has become a global effect and countries are competing against one another and many people do not know what to do with all these changes. WE need to learn to cope with these changes and reshape globalization around the world. We need to think about the limitations that are being offered. Increasing education is important, but this is not enough. The United States needs to provide better coverage for the people unemployed. There needs to be more full time jobs instead of all the part time jobs that are available. Second, there needs to be a better budget to enhance education (Stiglitz, Joseph E). We are facing an economic down fall, the wages are low and this causes weaker workers (Lee Thea). Students need to align their curriculum with spiritual traditions for their comparison and growth. There is a personal reflection upon who we are and our values. This causes us to think about everything we know and causes problems with globalization which prevents these effects. The owners, leaders, and managers have core missions which make their job extremely different. They need to provide their students with a voice and empower them to believe they can make a difference. They need to enable the next adult generation to ask questions. They need to keep educational agenda questions, and protect the fragile area of the spiritual (Bottery, Mike). This brings up the issues of private schools against public schools. There are many different issues on vouchers and that they are exactly. It is argued that they are meant to give parents the choice about their child’s education. The public schools competing in the area become more productive, and parents who use vouchers to move their child to another school usually feel better in the long run. However; some parents choose not to use the vouchers. They have the right to choose where they are going to send their children. Vouchers were originally started to help low-income families because they have fewer opportunities and few choices than high-income parents (Carry, Martin). This means that education has changed drastically throughout the years. Before World War II there was not much demand for education. People were not furthering their education. After World War II more schools were built. Education was seen as a means of addressing, and solving many long-standing social problems. When schools began to expand the sizes of classes dropped. Many students started to go back because the cost of education was eliminated or brought down (The Changing Nature of Education Policy). This brought on changes in the future as well. Technology has increased immensely in the classroom since 1999. Many schools are now teaching with the new technology. It is the most common way to teach. More people are relying on online classes over traditional classroom settings. More experience is required and students are learning the material faster. More students are expanding their basic education through rapid growth and work flow (Less Classroom More Technology). This is extremely important in teaching History. Technology is important when teaching History because many times we have to tap into something else. Students think History is not important, but we can teach them by having them listen to a song and show them these are songs similar to what they listen to on the radio today. They see something that sparks an interest and many times start paying attention to the lesson and learn from it (Hoover, Sandy). These are the issues that are being brought up with education. If we just focus on what is best for our students and allow them to learn in ways we never had the opportunity to learn then they will make great people in the world. Allowing our students to expand on our knowledge means showing them they can be interested and they can relate many prospects to their own lives.
