Why Teach?

When asked why teach? I immedietly know my answer. I beleive it is my purpose in this life to be a teacher. I feel incredibly passionate about this carreer and have wanted to be a teacher rmy entire life. My mom is a teacher and has served as a big inspiration for me and shown me what kind of teacher I want to be. Teach because you care. Teachers are thetre to be a shoulder to cry on and to help pick you up when you don't succeed and celebrate you when you do. Teach because you want to make a difference. Teachers have the mosty important job! We walk into work every single day and have the honor of shaping the future of the world. Teach because you know how important children are. The way a child is raised and what they experience at a young age shape who they grow up to be. 13,715 Teaching Clipart Images, Stock Photos & Vectors | Shutterstock When I become a teacher, I know I want to teach elementary school. I am thinking of second or third grade. After teaching I do want to get a masters in administration and eventually work my way up to becoming a principal. My passions include spending time in nature. I want my students to have a love and sense of curiosity for the world around them. I am also passionate about self confidence. I want to inspire my future students to be confident in themselves and give them the tools to love themselves unconditionally!

What is the Purpose of Schools?

When asked to think about what is the purpose of school, immediately my mind thought of to better prepare children for their futures. I believe that schools teach fundamental skills that young developing children need to learn to be successful adults. In school you learn how to read, write, problem solve, socialize, and much more that you may not even realize you are learning as you are. A lot of people agree that this is the purpose of schools. But it cannot be this simple. In the article, What is the Purpose of School? Stephen Sawchuk, mentions how “students will face difficultly learning in they are not fed, clothed, and nurtured.” So then we must ask ourselves, how can schools meet all of these needs? I do not think the schools can do this alone, as they are constantly facing “more mandates and expectations from legislators,” (Sawchuk, 2021) and working with not enough money to face all of these issues. One solution to this crisis of schools having too much to try and help is throu...

Is Schooling Equitable?

No, I do not believe schooling is equitbible. Being equitable means being “fair and impartial.” So, in order for schools to be equitable it would need to be fair to all students and impartial to all the different backgrounds students come from. This is not the case as seen in the article “New 'Segregation Index' shows American schools remain highly segregated by race, ethnicity, and economic status.” One sentence that I feel summarizes this article and proves my rresponseis, “White-Black segregation between schools within large school districts increased 35 percent, and segregation between poor and non-poor students increased by 47 percent over the past 30 years.” Studies are proving that there is still segregation in our school systems. As long as our schools remain segregated, they will not be equitable. Students at these segregated schools are receiving different opportunities and outcomes, it has been this way since the “separate but equal” schooling after the Brown v....
