Honesty: The Value Of Education

In a changing world, there is a need to develop new systems of education that can adapt to the rhythm of societal changes and technological improvements. For that reason, we need better prepared educators that understand the changes our world is going through and do not forget that are human beings those who we intend to teach. There are many questions that need to be answered in the world of education, but it is important that through our beliefs and dedication we impact the world in an unique manner.

The value of community is one that everyone should have and appreciate, I learned that through my family. The love and respect that one shows for the other are crucial to build a democratic community. Honesty is one of the very first and most

I have seen and heard of classrooms that are just out of control. For example, in my daughter’s classroom, there are sixteen students, five girls and eleven boys. Most of the school days, she comes back home complaining that her classmates are too loud and that they easily get in trouble. How, in such a small class, can this happen? It might be helpful for the teacher to make a closer connection with students, like it is suggested by Noddings in her theory of education where she includes the idea of a caring teacher (2012., p. 230).

Educative experiences are crucial to succeed, since one affects the other. Through past experiences is how we reconstruct our world, depending on our situation and on our past experiences is how we are going to proceed and solve the issues we are facing.
