Born a slave in 1862, Ida B. Wells-Barnett was the oldest daughter of James and Lizzie Wells. The Wells family, as well as the rest of the nation's slaves, were freed about six months after Ida's birth, thanks to the Emancipation Proclamation. However, living in Mississippi as African Americans, they faced racial prejudices and were restricted by discriminatory rules and practices.
Wells-Barnett's father served on the first board of trustees for Rust College and made education a priority for his seven children. It was there that Wells-Barnett received her early schooling, but she had to drop out at the age of 16, when tragedy struck her family. Both of her parents and one of her

. The history of the relationship between education and technologies is repetitive. Education will change with the technologies and progress. The future relationship will most likely be one in which technology creates a new form of education, while education makes the development of a new technology. As new technology continues to be created the education system will adapt. While we may not be able to predict exactly how the education system will change in the future, it is safe to say that technology will be the driving force behind those changes.

Education in South Carolina
Education in South Carolina public schools has always been a proverbial thorn in the side of the pride of the state. Consistently, the state has ranked near the bottom of rankings in average Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores, low salaries for teachers, and curriculums that were at best below satisfactory. The primary reason for such dismal statistics is the lack of funding available to improve educational resources within the state. Furthermore, the inequities between public schools located in more affluent areas and those in poorer school districts created a statewide need for funding to give every child within South Carolina an equal opportunity to

Assignment 01: Assessments
My high school uses assessments in various different ways. The fundamental use of them, the most obvious in my opinion, is to assign a grade to each student that illustrates their understanding of the material. Teachers do this by giving tests and quizzes. In addition to assigning grades, my high school uses assessments as a basis to decide whether a student can move up to a higher level course or if they should stay in the base level one. For example, a student’s grade on a final math exam their junior year is used to determine if that student will take calculus their senior year or honors calculus. To me, these uses of assessments are completely valid

The current era places big emphasis on the role of instructional supervision in the development of the education and improvement of student learning outcomes. It’s not the sole responsibility of the teachers to bear the tasks of delivering basic education services to the clienteles but rather a two-way process between them and the instructional leaders. As Ekyaw (2004) states it, it’s an interactive process that depends on the source supervisor and the teacher.

From the first day of school, students who ask questions are silenced and those who try to exert any individuality are punished. What they learn abstract and distant, further removing emotion from learning. If any emotion is involved, it’s pain. But the pain is so constant and that it eventually ceases to be an emotion.

There have been recent case studies taken, showing increased amounts of people who would choose work over college. Methods of surveys have been used for centuries, not proving to be as accurate as a case study. A few current college students even said they wish they could just work.

The French sociologist, Durkheim (1903) argued that education provided two main functions. Firstly, social solidarity; some of the subjects taught as part of the national curriculum such as History and Citizenship helps students to understand the complexity of British culture. This sense of shared culture between children creates a strong sense of unity and commitment to a wider social group.

Education is central to an empowerment approach to health promotion
Education has a vital role to play in the empowerment process and is thus central to health promotion. It was not always seen this way, however, and in the early 1980s, health education had a rough time of it. Some writers criticised health education for being, as they saw it, a series of individually focused campaigns designed to change lifestyles, and which therefore disempowered people by 'blaming the victim' for their own ill-health (Rodmell and Watt, 1986). As a result there was for some time an emphasis on health promotion, which was seen as advocating structural changes to the social, political and public health
