Diversity in Education Beliefs Paper

Typed Reflection “I Belief Essay”
I believe that education is essential to everyone’s
welfare. Education is that
beautiful art where the teacher puts him or her entire self on stage. Education is vital for not only for the
teacher but the student. There is
a natural need for some people to speak their mind and to allow students to
partake in the information that is needed to be partaken. That is the educator’s journey. So,
education is vital for the teacher.
Education is also very much vital for the student. One’s natural
inclination is to learn about the world.
In order to be a part of a growing and functioning world, one must learn
about it from those who have experience in it. Student’s adventure in learning can be strenuous or
exciting, but either one presents growth or a model of responsibility the
student can fall back on.
I believe that education is a social institution bent on
forming a better social-class.
Teaching group projects and individual projects is the art of teaching
children how to work together to get things done. Math can teach kids to solve problems and they may need to
ask each other how to solve the particular problems. Science presents students with a mystery and asks them to
figure out, often forcing them to work with fellow students. Art asks students to create something
out of nothing, and without the inspiration and aesthetic of fellow
personalities, the act would seem impossible. This social structure of education is essential, and makes
our world a much more functional “family” unit.
I believe that education is fun, and fun is one of the
greatest purposes of life on earth.
I believe that there is part of education that can be mind
numbing, but that in-itself can be beneficial to a child’s life. Through any activity, whether good or
bad, an individual grows. A boring
class can bring the student inward spawning a wonder about what he or she
really wants out of their education and life. Often people slander a bad teacher or class, but some of
greatest learning on the student’s part can happen in that environment. Education and individuals are so fluid
that judging one teacher and one curriculum as detrimental to a student’s
success is ignorance. Not to say
that we should never fire teachers or have certain standards in education, but
to have one opinion about how we
should educate and to enforce that opinion is negative for students and
teachers.
I believe that music and painting should be integrated more
into the daily curriculum. In a
drug free atmosphere, both can bring us into a state of bliss and ecstasy that are
extremely beneficial to life inside and outside the door’s of a classroom.
