Education Is Not Luxury

In ” Education Is Not Luxury”, Stephen Joel Trachtenberg discussed about that people should take school seriously and in his opinion, ” Topics like these may be putting a squeeze on the time spent on literacy and numeracy. ” Years ago, most American worked in farming or in finishing agricultural crops. However, ” Agrarian calendar continues to dominate one facet of American life–education. “, even we are no longer agrarian.

Schooling was a luxury and it is a long process of educating the young but “America will never take schools seriously as long as they operate on the ancient agrarian calendar” or “they are open from only nine to three o’clock or some equivalent. ” So people thought that “this schooling business is a part-time occupation. ” So the schools have to do the right thing to make them important to people by spending time on literacy and numeracy. So the schools should be able to teach both academic subjects and other things.

This would at least show that schools are serious. It could also help teachers to find a job and getting paid. Students would learn what they should learn. ” Universities are driven by their double missions of learning and service and the compelling. However young students do not take the class seriously and they do not desired to learn, even have the opportunities to learn. In ” Expanding Offerings”, ” many students come to school without any training in foreign languages, or that only couple of languages.
And ” many school districts must deal with immigrant children. ” School calendar can help teachers to keep their teaching on track and teaching more. But there are some objections which against to achieve more cause they do not have money, most of learning do not take place at school and extending the school days and making the day longer. Response I strongly agree with Stephen’s opinion cause these suggestions which he discussed about can really help students to understand why they have to study, what they have to study about and how to study more efficiently.
Schools should make people to realize that they are important by spending time on literacy and numeracy. Schools also have to be responsible to the students like making sure they do not spend ” additional time to teach what is already being taught. ” They are also responding to what is available. ” An atmosphere of learning without the first-rate instruction or the various tangibles and intangibles that make learning possible is nothing but a disappointment.
” What’s more, lengthening the school years can really help to convince ” the rest of the world that schools are, at least, serious. ” Secondly, “teachers working conventional hours and a typical work year, it would be possible to begin to pay teacher. ” Finally, ” it would accommodate all the things that teachers need to teach and young people need to learn. ” In my opinion, these are good way to go through and making education more important and common.
