Education,What is the bigger picture

Education, that is a topic that when teens hear, most think of it as a drag. Well parents think of ways to make it more available for their kids, in a way thinking of ways to equalizing education for all. In Emerson's essay, he states a world where people help the youth by sharing their knowledge that they have developed over time, then for the youth to better that knowledge that they have gain and teach it to the next generations to come and so on.
I think that would be a great thing to see, but i doubt that can be possible; it's a wonderful dream to have but yet it's not a realistic one to have. I disagree with the people that thought education can be equalized amongst the world, because they are not factoring in important variables. They are be siding themselves to human nature, the desire most people have the be independent from the crowd, human characteristics, and what of the people with mental disabilities? with that in the equation, do u see the balance shifting? Do u really believe that people can have an equilibrium of education? Now, factor in the poor schools with poor education values, students with home problems, young adults that are parents, and of the people with their will will to try broken beyond repair by life itself. What of those people that have life on their mind, or they have only one wish in mind?
When they meant ALL People with an equilibrium amount of education; do they meant that they are willing to help the unwilling, spend their time to teach the ones that will be lagging in their own education? Thus pushing back the person willing to help in their own education. That there will be a cure with people with mental disabilities? Or will they leave them to fend for themselves, only taken the strong. Throw them out; because they don't fit in the equation, brand the fallen as outcasts or a lost cause that complicates the equation? Because when people try to make things perfect or seek the very assents of a perfect being, people do horrible things, just look at the era between 1933- 1945.

  2. James,
    You bring up valid points to consider. Do you think education is a human right?

  3. James,
    What do you think would happen if education was more of a choice? Would it weed out unwilling and free those who truly want to learn?

  4. James,
    Great job pointing out that the author didn't put other factors such as some peoples characteristics and willingness into the essay.
