Good course, eh ?

Indeed, the course has offered a lot for me and a new perspective on the way education can be intertwined with an array of complex situations. through out this class we  picked up on a few major topics that have stuck with me through out the the entire term. our class had a lot of really interesting perspectives and i enjoyed listening to different students experiences.  The appreciation for education seems to be on the rise, but does the stigma of un apperciation exist in the united states ? do students really value education ? or are grades the only important facet ?

Ive been playing around with the idea of what schooling would be like with no grades. i believe the system would much different than the one we can witness today. Students might not be as concerned with getting the grade. The value has left education. the required works are the only element students invest themselves in. But do the grades keep students  focused on success.
This class has brought education into a new light for me by giving me a perspective that is on an international level. some powerful images continue to be played in my mind about children being prevented from schooling due to poverty. The compasion for the youth is high in our class and i know alot of student believe in a brighter future for the education systems around the world.

Next for most of us in the class, education has been developed as a way to increase a persons capabilities as well as empowerment. As a class we all realized that the model we are all used to in the united states may not be the best answer for every other country. culture is the true signature of the land. education system need to the figure this out,  but surely our class has.

Although heavy critiquing can take a toll on the spirits of a student, our class has learned that change be positive.  the common saying “you dont know until you go” applies in all aspects of implementing education policies. the final note i have taken away from this class is that at least our communities are making step towards progress and equity.  Education for all is a theme that many in the world would support. many would believe in the thought of education for all, but now is the time to participate through action.
