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 siblings...

Why Education Matters
If someone told me that education didn’t matter, they would basically be stating that knowledge is not necessary in succeeding in this society. After the great deal of time our country has spent in expanding adolescence minds to help them attain a stable job and a successful life, there can be no reason why education and college is a waste of time and money.
Education is started at a very young age to help give a layer of foundation for adolescence to expand their knowledge on. Students begin learning and getting educated at a very young age. Everything that deals with life is taught in Elementary and Middle School. It not only helps students mentally,...

In our lives today we expect technology to make a difference, and particularly in furthering our education. We see technologies effects as beneficial. We look for it to change, and improve, what has come before it. Technology is the set of means without which certain kinds of constructive activity would be almost impossible.

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,...

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...

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.

Moral education refers to helping children acquire those virtues or moral habits that will help them individually live good lives and at the same time become productive, contributing members of their communities. In this view, moral education should contribute not only to the students as individuals, but also to the social cohesion of a community. The word moral comes from a Latin root (mos, moris) and means the code or customs of a people, the social glue that defines how individuals should live together.Every enduring community has a moral code and it is the responsibility and the concern of its adults to instill this code in the hearts and minds of its young.

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. This could easily be rectified by better communication in the school systems.

The consensus functionalist approach is just one of many that attempt to explain the role of education in modern society. Functionalism is based on the view that society is a system of interdependent parts held together by a shared culture or value consensus. Each part of society such as the family, economy and education system performs functions that help to maintain society.

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...

Preschool makes kids’ future better
Some people believe that it is a waste of time to have their kids go to preschool. My stance is by attending preschool children have a head start in life and it improves their future.

Preschool (in my opinion) is glorified daycare that takes time away that little kids should be spending with their parents. So much of what they are taught can be learned in day-to-day life (letters and early reading, counting and numbers, colors and behavior) from their parents, family, friends, and the world they interact with....
