Education Done Right “While modern education seeks only to propel a student toward the utilitarian goal of a successful career, the classical, Christian education seeks to nurture the whole person, preparing him to participate fully in all realms of this world and the next” (Classical 16).
Our education is the most important thing in our lives. It is our way of going out into the world and making a living and place for ourselves. It is not something we should take lightly. As we grow older, we are faced with having to decide which college to attend or even which school system to send our children to one day. When making this decision, we should examine all of our possibilities and which school will be the most beneficial in the future. There
Secular school systems are considered to be a more neutral place of work and study. It does not exactly state whether or not if God exist or not (Nugent). Though it does not give the full truth, according to Michael Nugent, a secular education allows for more students to be able to come together because there is no specific religion. Instead, it teaches the students about the different types of religion which allows for them to better understand others and to respect them. The students attend all regular classes with the basis of scientific facts, such as mathematics, history, and language. In most science classes, the students are preached to about the idea of evolution instead of creationism. This allows for them to have an understanding of how the world came to be without mentioning any religious background. By doing this, Nugent believes that the secular education system is respecting the human rights regarding education. By teaching a neutral based education, students to not have to worry about being taught a religion that is not of the one they believe in. It allows for the students to go to school strictly for their education and return home where they can learn about their own religion from their parents. However, the downfall to this type of education is that it does not give students the full truth of life. This in turn
The cost to attend a private school is much more than that of a public education. On average, a student attending a private school will pay between $3,000 and $10,000 per year in tuition (Schlesman). Although private school children pay much more, public school children are paying money to attend school as well. Unlike a private school where you pay for everything up front, a public school requires that students pay for most classes through a class fee. After paying the class fees that they may have, the students still then have to pay for any school supplies they may need and any books that are not provided by the school. Most parents will not send their children to a private simply because of the money, but when in reality they will be paying for their children to attend school either way. With this in mind, parents should put their money to good use and send their children to a school that will teach them to have good character, morals and standards according to the Bible. However, a second downfall that a private school may have would be the dress codes. Most private schools have a stricter dress code than most public schools do. Though this is somewhat unnecessary, it can actually be very beneficial to both the students and the parents in the long run. By enforcing such a strict dress code, students are being encouraged to dress appropriately in a place of work. By teaching them at a younger age to dress
When it comes to the individual choice on college education. Each student is motivated by a different branch of knowledge. Some have the goals of becoming lawyers, doctors, bankers, others choose to learn more about the liberal arts and its influence in building their personal characteristics with the world around them. This is precisely why institutions offer a large variety of programs to attract many high school seniors when it comes to deciding which institute to attend.
When students are in high school, is the end, they are finally free after 13 years of schooling, but for many people graduating from high school is just the beginning. After graduating from high school, students are faced with the difficult decision of whether or not to continue on with their education. And if they do decide to continue on with their education, what form of education will they choose. There are a variety of different options open to students each accompanied by their own pros and cons. These options include; no school, 4-year university, or 2-year community college.
Humanity is made in the image of God. Therefore, all people have unique and valuable gifts to contribute to society. Every individual is also a sinner in need of redemption through Christ’s death and resurrection. Developing a relationship with Christ is the foundational purpose of my Christian educational practice. Instruction must be differentiated because each student is a unique creation. Effective differentiation is impossible without the guidance of the Holy Spirit and the use of research-based instructional methods and formative evaluation. Powerful teaching constantly modifies instruction to best address the needs of the each student and provides a foundation of love that recognizes each child as a gift from God.
The words “Secularism” and “Religion” are used to describe abstract concepts with subjective definitions. As distinct as they are, they also act as mirrors to each other; as one cannot survive without the other to push against, no matter what definition is given to them. These words as defined by various writers, feminists, scholars and historians can be used to define and query these two categories. Gross, Castelli, Cady & Fessenden, Mahmood, Braude and Moallem use examples, culture, and opinions to define each in a different way. While they may be categories, secularism and religion are also answers to some of mankind’s biggest questions; but ultimately they are one in the same and seek to unite followers under a common cause.
Crime is way up. The family has broken up. Test scores of students taking a submarine dive. It's time for a change!" On the other hand, Secular Humanists, have several arguments focusing on why prayer in schools is a bad idea.
For many centuries education has been an important value in many people’s lives. However, some claim education to be a waste of time. Many people debate the benefits and consequences of education in our society. The article “Colleges Prepare People for Life” written by Freeman Hrabowski presents this important issue in a brief but direct manner which is supported by its strong claim, its wide usage of evidence, and its use of logical reasoning and appeals connect ideas together.
In current times, children are told from a young age that college is imperative to getting a good, stable job. However, this is not always true. Therefore, it cannot be determined if college is always the best choice. Because each person is different and learns in a way unique to themselves, it’s up to each individual to decide whether or not they think they need further education based upon their goals, aspirations, and desires in life. There are many benefits to attending a college or university. For example, college graduates earn about $17,500 more each year than high school graduates. College degrees also give you more options. Not only do you have many career options after obtaining your degree, you also have differing options of how you acquire your degree. Colleges and universities have created many diverse programs, offering traditional classes, online classes, semi-online classes, and night and weekend classes. One of the biggest benefits of attending college is the real world experience you gain from being there and living partially on your own. For most people, college is a time where you can gain experience living with new responsibilities that you don’t have at home, without the pressure of having to pay bills on time
In conclusion, higher education is superior for everyone’s future and it is not as expensive as some think, it pushes people to be happier and more intellectual, and college is worth it when there is a better job to pay back all the years of higher education. When the child’s future life becomes the present and it is time to be an adult and start thinking about college, they should
The theory of evolution is often taught in the public school textbooks. It is widely felt that evolution is an attempt to completely remove God from all aspects of creation. Evolution destroys all meaning, purpose, direction, justice and hope in life. “You came from nothing, you are going nowhere, life is meaningless!” The Bible says in Psalm 14:1: “The fool has said in his heart, there is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that does good.” Secular schools attempts to erase God from the classroom and from the minds of the next generation by eliminating the Bible as the basis for all knowledge. They pontificate to students and do not allow them the freedom to use their faith-based foundations to express their understanding without being stifled for not being politically correct.
College is important to large amounts of people. As many know, attending college can help better a single person’s life in more ways than one. For example, by attending college and graduating with a degree of one’s choice improves their knowledge in that field of choice.

Many people in today’s society believe it’s wise to send their children to private schools. In making the decision on whether to put children in public or private schools, they look to four main factors: curriculum, class size, the graduation rate, and cost. When people have to pay for something, their first thought is, “Will I be getting what I’m paying for?” With a private school education, the amount you have to pay is usually well worth it. Public schools offer diversity. Here students can find people who are just like them and can associate better. Wherever you live, you have to send your child to the closest school. There’s no choice on what public school you can send your child to, whereas for private schools you can pick to send your child there. It’s not an easy choice for parents to decide, but many factors point toward a guarantee that a good education would be achieved, which is most important.
Most of the time parents are often concerned with overpopulated schools being crowded and more prone to bullying. Also many of these children 's parents do not believe that these public schools are giving their children the education they need. (Messerli,2016) In addition these parents want their children to have access to all the benefits that are held in a private school regardless of the price. On other circumstances, parents sometimes also want their kids become more religious, and since most private schools are based on a religious outlook they choose to send them there. There are many types of private schools, they are often categorized based on the school 's funding. They may be characterized as independent or non- profit, all of the private schools are managed by a certain group for example a religious group is often managed by an affiliated board or by the religious institution to whatever one they belong too.

Today's society thinks it's very important to get a college education, they think if we don’t go to college we will regret it today and tomorrow.

For my case i will being needing a college degree for my career that i am going into. My claim is that college can be valuable and that we should go to college.
Private schools should be abolished because education should allow for equal opportunities for all students. Education is supposed to provide better chances of success for the student. Students that attend a state funded school faces a disadvantage as soon as they graduate from secondary school and apply for college.{ talk about private school to college ration} There have been reports about college being biased in the selection process when choosing between state funded and privately funded school applicants. Many educators would agree that a privately funded education is typically more beneficial than a state funded education. “It seems silly to propose scrapping a system of education that provides positive results and successful results.” (CITE DEBATEWISE.ORG) The system should not be scrapped but instead needs to be inputted into the public school system. It should be put into the public school sector because it is not fair for a wealthier individual to able to obtain a better education just becaus...
