Practice

Throughout my time in school, I always believed that most of the work I did was busywork. Work should not be this way as a whole and it should not be boring to the students that are trying their hardest to find interest in the things being taught in public schools. The work itself should be interesting, hands-on, meaningful, and essential to life skills to what the student wants to make of themselves after graduation so that learning is no longer a chore and speed bump in life, but an essential and meaningful thing that guides them on the path that they most want to pursue. This was covered in EL Education’s video as shown with the students of multiple public schools coming together and creating works of literature that affected not only themselves but the societies and culture that was important to their communities.

Ultimately, education has fallen to the wayside of many things, to include budgets, quality, and essentialness to the life of the individual, and for many people is seen as nothing more than a burden keeping them from starting their life and making their own way in the world. Schools, teachers, and the student’s work should not enforce this wholesale like much does today, but instead try to push the students onwards and raise them up to see that education is essential to their success in whatever career path they choose. With the implementation of hands-on, life-essential skills students will be more engaged and more apt to pursue further education in many college and university level institutions after they finish their required high school education.
