Disagree.. lifelong learning starts at Home.\nParent = sets your enthusiasm to learning\nSurrounding = are you challenged (makes you want to learn)\n\nSchool increases your level\nSchool applies challenges\nSchoold does not encourage lifelong learning if your development and personality doesn't allow it

I am very grateful. The true purpose of an education is to teach you how to teach yourself. Think about that.

Yes and no.  When I am learning I sometimes like working in groups.  Getting ideas from classmates can be really helpful.  They help me think more about my own ideas and thoughts.  In addition, working with classmates provides me with a variety of perspectives.  \n\nNow, as far as from a teacher's persective goes, with having children work in groups in your class, I think it is also a good idea but there are a few issues that one must keep in mind.  Group work in class (I am speaking from the point of view of an elementary school teacher) can be very beneficial for students.  First, it can help improve their social competency (how to interact with people in a positive way and work well with others, etc).  Second, children can learn from their fellow classmates.  When they make mistakes their classmates can correct them and that interaction can help children remember more; that experience makes the learning stronger because it grows from an authentic experience.  Along the same lines, group work usually involves hands-on activities which are almost always better for learning because the learning comes from genuine/authentic experiences.  \n\nFinally, there are a few things to keep in mind when having your students engage in group work.  It has been my experience that it is good to have specific jobs for the kids to do.  This makes sure that everyone has something to do and cuts down on discipline and management issues.  Also, if you are going to have group work be sure to include an opportunity to assess how individual students are doing.  Group work often makes it difficult to assess how individual students are doing because smarter kids could compensate for various weaknesses.   \n\nIn short: Group work is great but it should occur in a controlled environment and have a purpose to it!

of course it is. and especially now that there are more ways for a parent to stay home and work (telecommuting), and more ways to access education (virtual schools and the net), there are fewer and fewer reasons not to.\n\nthe oft-repeated socialization question has long since been put to rest by actual studies of real children:\nhttp://familyeducation.com/article/0,1120,58-17910,00.html\n\nchildren who are homeschooled are often more creative, more relaxed, more self-motivated, and better educated than children in schools. and any teacher who's not trying to defend his/her profession will admit that nothing beats one-on-one attention for a good education. it's just something they cannot provide.\n\nthe main motivator behind those who are against homeschooling is a desire for conformity to tradition and a financial stake--school districts who lose students to homeschooling suffer the loss of cash from the state/feds. \n\nunless your purposes are to shield a child from the world and its evils, homeschooling is of great benefit to families as a whole.

Not exactly.  The school curricula are limited so as not to offend one group or another, because school boards don't like controversy--it isn't good for their continued employment.  A friend of mine who used to work for Holt, Rinehart & Winston talked every once in a while about everything they weren't allowed to put in the textbooks because someone in Kansas or somewhere might get upset--and since it's cheaper to publish one book for the whole country than it is to specialize them by state, the attitudes of people in one state can easily influence what goes into textbooks across the country.\n\nThis limits the amount of real education that takes place, which in turn can keep kids from being exposed to intelligent, reasoned debate.  This makes it harder for them to think clearly when they grow up, if they're not learning it at home.\n\nSo yes, history does appear to be badly taught in public schools, and part of it is intentional.  But I think the gullibility and mindless consumerism is a side effect, not the primary cause.

Yup. It helps people learn skills they will need for higher education and the work place. It is not necessarily the work a person does but the act of discipling ones self to finish homework, and follow directions, and connect what is being taught by making a person think a little more then they would just in a classroom. Seriously, learning to study, following directions and learning to learn are necessary to maintain a job.

Yes! As you move into your thirties and beyond, having a college degree is going to be more important in your earning power. Research shows that every class you take will improve your earnings, even if you still don't graduate. And continuing education helps keep you healthier and happier. If you have kids, it is so good for their education and motivation to see you studying.\n\nPlus, you don't want to wait until you're in your fifties and have your children complain that since you've been going to college, you only call them when you need money!

School should be taught year round.

There are good and bad points to both. I personally think home schooling is better for children until their decision making skills are matured. This would ensure that they would not be easily influences by other children who were not exposed to the same values that they were. Some other negative things about  going to school would be the child's safety in the schools, overcrowded schools, shortage of teachers and then the inadequate teachers just to name a few.\n\nBeing home schooled the parents have the option to teach them the topics that they choose (within the curriculum guidelines) The negative thing about home schooling would be lack of peer interaction, the chance to develop pubic speaking skills and exposure to more than one teacher.

Absolutely!!!\nCollege life is not just about the school, it is about the first foot in to adulthood. The University experience not only allows for a better education and so more earning potential, but life experience. That life experience arms students with the skills necessary to survive in "the real world". I learned to set my own curfew, pay bills, do laundry, feed myself three times a day, and acquire general responsibility for myself.  These were skills that could not be taught in a classroom. I'd stay away from the Greek life if possible. At most schools it is just a drinking club and can be dangerous as a result.

The number one advantage of public schools is SOCIALIZATION!  If you do research under that category, I guarantee that you will find many reasons to prove why home schooling isn't such a great idea.

Education and ignorance stands together. When a human being getting old, then she/he learned much but the sorrunding also getting old to them. So, we need to make youthfulness on education where we will invest our time for being a educator ourselves. Education for all will make the happened. Keep your hand for UN.

Well, the whole idea in furthering your education is identifying issues in the world, deciding what concerns you, then wanting come up with a solution. I don't believe it's by chance that you have spent 4 years in a particualr studies. You have learned something. Now all you have to do is identify the issue, and try to come up with a solution.

It depends on the individual.\n\nSome learn better by seeing.\n\nSome learn better by hearing.\n\nSome learn better by doing. This means applying the knowledge that one wants to remember.\n\nIt can also depends on what it is that one is learning.\n\nAnd certain things might be better learned in a certain way regardless of who is learning them.

Formal education: whenever is right for you, as in, what do you want to do next, and where do you see your life going?\n\nWhile learning itself lasts a lifetime, the generic recommendation is to finish formal schooling as soon as you can.\n\nOf course there are legitimate reasons for exceptions: some people time off to work, and then get back to finishing their degree, or two, later.\n\nGive it your best shot - it likely will affect much of your future.

It's true for me, technically. I don't use most of what I learned in high school in my job. But I do think it's a good idea to learn as much as you can in high school. It makes you a more well-rounded and interesting person later if you know something about history, literature, language, numbers, etc.
