What do you think of the following educational information?

=I find it amazing that in one town, Canton, the graduation rate is only 27%.  It seems the problem is getting the kids go to school.  No matter how they try to improve their educational system, they've got to get the kids to attend school.

Dear, "education" is not the correct category for this question.

I don't think any of it should be banned.  I think the advantage would lie in teaching everything, so that education isn't subject to some kind of cultural censorship.

What kind of information are you looking for?

This depends on what they teach, etc. It is public information. You can get it from the library at North Eastern.

are you kidding?\n\nIf you are a teacher, your school should be providing you with this information.\n\nIf you are not a teacher, go to a school. I doubt they would post a syllabus online, you would have to buy it!

will someone just tell it like it is.  True, there's not enough time, and a good bit of ALL history is omitted from the curriculum.  However, if researched, eventually you'll discover the whole truth from all aspects or points of view. Some information is deliberately left out of textbooks to control or manipulate the minds of certain people or cultures.  Yeah, I know it sounds farfetched, but it's the truth. And if the real truth were told, we would have either chaos or peace. Seem like we've had all the chaos we can handle for a while...

I would start by taking a GOOD look at our education system. It is failing. Europeans are ahead of us so are many others. If we do not cultivate the kids who will run our country down the line? more idiots. Other issues bug me but education would be my number one.

well, why don't you ask yourself some questions (which are probably addressed in the book, right?)...\n\n1. how would you find out the things you need to know if you didn't have school? \n\n2. how did people in the past educate themselves, without school? \n\n3. how do people right now educate themselves without schools? \n\n4. for those who educate themselves without school, what stands in the way of their education "counting"? (Hint: isn't it about the so-called "gate-keepers"? the people who decide what is an adequate education and what isn't?)\n\n5. what would a good world without schools look like? (meaning a world where life was generally a good, happy, healthy place.)

The facts of education.

Yes, your introduction sounds fine. \nAs a matter of fact, people misuse and post meaningless and silly questions and answers in this board. However, a question like yours comes along once a while that stirrs lots of minds about the future of young childrens whatever the color may be, there is a serious problem in educating the future childrens, without doubt it is a problem for US and it is a global problem too. Unbelivable amount of childrens are not adequately educated, childrens are misused by wested interests, childrens are forced to work and toil at the tendor age and children's are trafficked, sold and all these none-sense is just a reality. \n\nTo come to the center point of your question and introdction, yes, it is quite true that African American children lag significantly behind their counterparts not only in schools but also in science, medicine and other important areas of education. Let me just give couple of personal observation and examples, I have been in the academic circles, in the medical schools, universities in the past several years. In a place like for instance, UCONN (CT) and in the UCONN health center (hospital), it is hard to find out African American facluties, very few students, hardly any scientists and I believe this might be the case in other places too. I am not an African American, irrespective of such lenience, I always felt that what I see and sense is not right, probably it is never right. While the reasons and causes might lie in several places, it is never too late to develop strategies to educate and make future leaders of African Americans in science, medicine and other important fields. I do not want to claim that there are no African American's in such fields and in education, it seems to be a mariginalised numbers, ofcourse, whoever got into the higher levels are extremely talented and well accomplished AAs.\n\nWhat can be done to improve and include them in the education track, is to bring out awareness to the young kids about education, its advantages, its usefulness and it's greatness. Basic education should begin at home, parents should take responsiblity to teach and train the little kids that education is very important for their life ( watch out for a blog soon in my 360, I am going to write a blog about how important education and I can say that my case is a very good example for what I am and where I am in the academic ladder and accomplished list).\n\nMore educators, more schools, more volunteers must get involved in bringing a change in thinking and practicing those thinking into teaching the future generation, never exclude yourself, always include all other races too, the world is never a complete one to live excluded only for one particular group of people, diversity brings lots of advantages.\n\nExtra Notes: Since I realised later that you are going to use this introduction for a project. I have few suggestions, the introduction should clearly give an idea about the topic, its importance, problems or issues, how to solve and your possible ideas to solve. I believe that you have to update your introduction along these points, it might look better.\n\ngluck\n\n\nGood luck,\nMuni

Hello.\n\nPersonally, I don't feel there are "too much" information. Certainly there are so much source of information that no one has time and capacity to read it all... But so what? It's like when entering in a large library: is it possible to read ALL the books there? No. Should we stop writing books? No.\n\nMy comparaison is maybe stupid but I feel it's something similar... Some source of information are simply repeating what better channel bring, some others specializes in scoop and fesh news, some others go more in depth, etc... Just like there are books for any level and any interest of people...\n\nThe "way of precessing it" is to see what you need to know, what's important to know.  Fifty years ago they had too many newspaper to read them all. So people were "chosen" what they needed. Same thing today. You will "miss" something for sure but so what... That's life!

Please see the list in the sources section, but there are several countries that share the #1 spot at 99.9% literacy, but I'm not sure how you want the information presented, so I'll just give you the link and you can sort the data how you see fit :)

Education is absolutely important in communication. (Heck, you even spelled Illeterate wrong. Caps also imply screaming so tone down okay?) Sorry, I'm in a heckling mood here cos Elliot got booted!\n\nHow else is education important? Well, it enriches you. You gain knowledge, learn how the world is, learn how history was, learn the beauty of art, science, humanities. Education exists not for the sole purpose of posting profiles on line but for us to tap into. We learn basic mathematical calculations & problem solving skills. This helps us tackle issues in life with our vast store of knowledge. Real fulfillment comes from listening to a masterpiece or viewing beauty as interpreted in a painting through an artist's eye. What can beat that! It is all about balance (of ignorance vs knowledge) so learn to appreciate education and the vast opportunities it affords us to open our minds.

Our schools should teach students HOW to learn and study on their own. I was the Valedictorian of my high school, not so much because my teachers were good at teaching me (although they were very kind for sure), but because I learned how to study effectively.\n\nThere is too much information in society today. Schools should focus less on "teaching" (which presupposes that they know everything) and focus more on "empowering students to learn on their own and use their rationality to verify the relevance or validity of information they come across."

Ahhh.  A question.  That means you desire information you do not have.  Reading these answers will provide you with some information and, by definition, you are being educated.  The more educated you become, the more you discover what you don't know.  The best formal education teaches you enough general information to allow you to determine what you really want to learn about.\n\nKeep asking questions.
