Education and the Need to Help

There is a desire to support to develop people's health in order to make the planet a healthy place for all. Making the planet a safer place does not mean treating pervasive neurosis, but leading and liberating young people by equipping them with information and strength via schooling. Education, as such, should prioritize aspects that allow learners to understand their strength. Overall, optimal education should be geared at encouraging individuals to develop socially, academically and ethically. First and foremost, ideal education should be geared towards encouraging learners to develop in a personal way. In other words, the education system should suit children instead of children looking for solutions to suit their school needs. Adults influence the way children should learn. However, this denies them the opportunity to learn new things from others. Ideally, children are realistic and wise, thus they do not require interference from parents. In fact, good education should promote learning among children. The good relationship with others is useful in learning environment since a person “cannot exist without a society” (Baldwin 1). Therefore, parents should also attend community school to learn on ways to communicate with the children. Also, by parents learning, they understand the way to turn a child’s vision into reality.

The government in cooperation with educationists set curriculum that promotes personal and“academic development” (Bingham 224). In fact, ideal education enables children to change their perception of the society based on the education they receive. For example, in literature, authors hidthe realities of life, which they help them understand in a polite manner and warn them against those considered vices. Students agreeably find it interesting to read the same context and express it to the fellow students in the way that they view it. According to Prose, reading literature is an “exercise in wish-fulfillment and self-congratulation” (92). In other words, a student gets the chance to consider thorny issues affecting the society. Such matters are crucial for personal development and social cohesion in the community.

Education should also be a mean of transmission of knowledge. Education has helped me to develop make decision and critical thinking skills. Ideally, education prepares a child for better life in future since it enables him/her make crucial decisions. According to Seletsky, “uncertainties, which are the source of much concern, contribute to teaching elements” (1). In other words, students should learn to use challenges in the environment to develop academically. That is why children are required to attend practical and theoretical classes. Being elite in conjunction of doing what I love did not only make me a better student but also helped me choose a career for my future. Prose argues that having education helps a person to “reflect the diversity of culture” (93). Education also sharpens a person’s intelligence and asks questions worth discussion. In most cases, children know how to dress wounds since they are taught on first aids. The knowledge results from learning and the need in the society. Therefore, curriculum should provide practical lessons to children.

Education further helps learners to develop ethics and the best ways to behave in the society. The education system has made the world a better place since the union of children from different geographical collection sharesthoughts on various issues. Different ideas enablechildren to make conclusive decisions“regardless of the ethical backgrounds” (Bingham 239). The varieties of know-how that children gain from education assist them to develop emotionally and socially. Baldwin argues that although it’s hard to “relate with others,” education enables people to respect one another (2). Ideal education should leave children to associate and learn among themselves. Association among learners improves sharing which in long-run helps in behaving in a formal environment. Education should guide learners to understand and portray their message without violating any ethical aspects. For example, I will be unfair to talk about education as a streamlined experience for everybody. The transition from childhood to adulthood usually gives a negatives scare to most youths in high school and colleges. Personal acceptance becomes a problem, and at this point, many may stagger and “find it unspeakably boring and insist on doing something entirely different” (Seletsky 5).Personally, I observe ethics by understanding and integrating some aspects of education.

In conclusion, an ideal education should enable learners to change their perception of the society. A person achieves this objective since education helps him/her to grow academically, ethically, and personally. An ideal education should equip students with practical knowledge and power to overcome challenges they encounter outside the school environment. Parents should learn to ensure their children recognize their environment and provide solutions for themselves. In fact, parents should learn the concerns, weaknesses, and frustrations learners encounter and find ways to solve them thus keeping learners moving in the right direction.
