Education High Schools By Jake ©Copyright 2009 Education high schools are schools that provide education typically for ages fourteen to eighteen. These schools can be public, private, or even a part of a home schooling program. Education high schools work with students who have begun reflecting their K-12 education and upbringing as they begin to apply what they have learned socially, intellectually, academically, and religiously in grades K-12. All schools whether private or public teach all these things. We as Americans, too often sell ourselves false confidence in the idea that school is only about academics. One should recognize that indeed social, intellectual, and religious teachings come as part of the academic bundle in how anything is taught and who is teaching it. In education high schools as well as K-8, Americans over emphasize and focus on the "what" is being taught and ignore the "who" or "how" of what is being taught. Most importantly in education high schools, it is the "who" that becomes most critical and yet is glossed over by administrators and educators alike. Most individuals develop the cognitive thought processes of an adult around age sixteen. This means youth think like adults at age sixteen, but lack the knowledge and experience of age. In college, we go to learn from experts. We care very much who is teaching us and pay close attention to why we should care what our professors think and believe. There is no difference in education high schools. Education high schools have many students age sixteen and older. These students care "who" their teachers are. They care about whether their instructors have enough credibility to even be listened to. These students who think like adults also care if their instructors even care about them. These students also care what their instructors believe about the bigger picture of life. All students in education high schools are becoming very aware of others’ opinions concerning who they believe they are and where they come from. Education high school students care what others’ religious beliefs are, even if others’ religion is secularism or atheism. Everyone has a belief about the bigger picture and students in education high schools care what their instructors believe. Students in education high schools care what their instructors believe because they are trying to figure why their instructors do what they do and teach what they teach. All mankind recognizes that something drives everyone to some form of action or another. The "what" that people want to learn has everything to do with what drives each person individually. The drive in a person helps them focus on where they want to be and what they need to know and do to get there. In conclusion, education high schools in America are wholly inadequate to reach the needed customization of each of their students. Students are so limited and unable to pick who instructs them that more of a brain washing occurs from a school and instructors that the government picks, and not the student or their parents pick. American education high schools have created a cookie cutter brain washing factory with the public schools. Only the rich can get out of them and actually live their life and pursue their own happiness by picking who instructs them. We need real change in American education high schools if we want to create better education high schools in America. ©Copyright 2009 |
