Part III: Rule of Three

We all know that the purpose of education is to give knowledge to people and better the future of individuals. At times there may be disagreements on how people perceive education and how its process works. Different schools have different systems, but one main goal is to have them all running the same way. If we don’t have students that respect one another and teachers, how can they respect themselves and their education. I feel that if it continued the way it is now, then students will end up losing interest in their education, and this generation is our future so we should do everything we can to help make change. In “The Passion Project” by Skye Ontiveros; Emily, a student involved said, “I’ve been in many classes where the teacher just teaches and doesn’t interact with the students much(TPP 5)”. If education continues to be this way then how will our future end up? Emily expresses her feelings on how she experienced in class. This is very important because it is actually coming from student that has seen a problem with our education system.

                I know that our society wouldn’t want to lose our education, it is something that is offered to us that we all should take advantage of it in the right way. Students have to respect their environment including the people around them. As I been through school teachers are disrespected a lot, if we can get students to be motivated to learn and have responsibility then this would diminish the problem drastically. If this disrespect is allowed to happen, I believe that teachers will become less involved with students as well as their teaching. Samira said, “there is a lack of that raw passion and there is a lack of wanting to explore each child’s mind(TPP 5). In my opinion this is very true because if students don’t understand that the change in education needs to happen now, then this lack of teaching and care will prolong. These negative consequences could happen if we don’t act now and endure the problems that need to be addressed.

                After talking about the change we all need to take to make a difference in education, it tends to make you think a little deeper if it doesn’t change. Jobs now even want you to have at college credits to even be qualified for a regular position. So if we look at it at an education perspective, students are not motivated to go to school or even responsible, how can they obtain a job they desire. Even including the teachers, if they don’t show interest in their students success how do we expect anything from education. I think that without a different outlook, employment would dramatically drop. Barrack Obama said, “with the changing economy, no one has lifetime employment. But community colleges provide lifetime employability.” What I feel about the quote is that Obama tries to push the advantage we have with education. With the education we have we should be striving to make it better for the students and the teachers, after all education is the best opportunity to better ourselves.
