The Purpose of Education

            I believe the purpose of education is to instill in us life skills. Education gives us life skills to be productive people. Without an education we would not be able to have the knowledge or the know how to be a productive nation. We give people an education so that our doctors and scientist can come up with cures and diseases can be treated. Without education, we would not be where we are today. A teacher's role in achieving an education is a very important role. Teachers are facilitators; they provoke the student into wanting to learn. Teachers have the knowledge and they provide the atmosphere, which enhances the student's desire to learn. Teacher's shape the minds of our children and provide an education to our future leaders.
             I think the role of the student in education is the center role. There is not a need for education if you don't have a student. A student is the whole reason we have education they are the main point that education is centered around. I believe the student utilizes the curriculum. Utilization would depend mainly on the student and how much they get out of the curriculum. Each student is different and utilizes different amounts of curriculum. Organization is going to depend on the style and skills of a teacher. Again, this is going to be different with each individual person depending on his or her organizational skills. Classroom management I feel can be based on respect for both teacher and student. I don't believe yelling at students and belittling a student works effectively as a management plan. That is where respect issues can be of some use. You treat someone (your student) the way you would like to be treated. I don't like being yelled at and I'm sure that students don't like it either. I also feel you should have a basic game plan on how your going to manage a classroom but you also need to keep some room open for changes and improvements of that plan. Each student has a different way that makes management and discipline work for you as the teacher.
