Education And The History Of Prejudice By Wendell Berry And Talk To Teachers By James Baldwin

Education Reform Learning is a permanent behavior that one achieves through experience. Education is one of the most important skills that anyone can hone by having the opportunity to attend school. However, the current education system seems to be lacking some of the most fundamental parts of learning for its students. Some of the fundamentals that are absent from education are mainly the appeal as to why it is there to begin with. Initially, learning seemed to be introduced to the young as fun, however, the older they get, education doesn’t seem to carry that same message. For many, education is the main producer of anxiety, stress, and disappointment. Many strive to hone their education as a status of success in order to be considered successful

This should have not been the end goal for education. Education should have been a place where students are able to be prepared for the big, outside world without sugar coating.

Small activities are bound to produce sufficient effort from the student for them to be able to coexist with one another, which will allow them to have social interaction, such as ones that they’ll have outside of school. The schooling system should not think that these types of activities are a waste of time, however something worth investing in. Instead of treating their pupils as mindless workers, they should provide the time to allow them to grow their individuality. By being able to communicate with one another, this will open doors for everyone. As in the text of The Need to Be Whole: Patriotism and the History of Prejudice, “Like a living, functioning household, a functioning community enables its members to help one another” (4). These “foolish” activities would be something that would prove beneficial for the students as they will not be situated in just a single seat for the entire day. Having these types of activities will also allow the students to release some energy and also perhaps learn a thing or two about communication. Students having to coop up their
